The Roswell Report: Fact versus Fiction in the New Mexico Desert was published in 1995 by Headquarters United States Air Force. It was written in response to Representative Steven H. Schiff's request and a General Accounting Office audit, and it contains Col. Richard L. Weaver's report and 1st Lt. James McAndrew's synopsis, along with attachments, appendices and photographs. The report says researchers found no evidence of an extraterrestrial craft or crew. It concludes that the 1947 debris came from a Project MOGUL balloon train.

The pressure difference across any given opening can be eval-
uated i·n terms of: height above a knovm point of zero pressure
difference; rate of pressure change with altitude of the at-
mosphere (which, for l:n•y small section of altitude is assumed
to be constant); and re.J-.:io of the densities of air and the
lifting gas. Since the pressure difference across the appendix
opening is zero this is o\tr reference point for evaluating
height. Figure 23 shO'\'iS this pressure relationship in graphic
form.
