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 mass rate of flow is equal to the density of the lifting
gas multiplied by the volt.metrio rate of flowz
(7) L
Since the number of openings will not change with altitude,
equation (7) expresses the rell!-tionship for mass rate of flow
from e full balloon for any altitude. The leakage at any
altitude may be expressed as a function of leakage at sea
level:
..bL = ( {*)oir-z

As an example, let us compare the leakage rates of a lifting gas
through a full balloon at sea level, at 40,000 feet and at
100,000 feet.
