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.

We may state the relationship (13) in terms of rate of trans- fer and area of the opening, assuming dft to be constant across the opening: dz (15) 9r- -K1Dfz"A where: ~: DI8.Ss transfer of lifting gas ~: variation of concentration of lifting gas dz in direction • A : area of opening In order, then, to determine the rate of loss of lifting gas by diffusion· through the open appendix 1're JllUSt: (a) determine the relationship between the coefficient of diffusio~ D,and altitude (or pressure and temperature) (b) determine the loss of lift by diffusion through the appendix at any convenient altitude (i.e. at the ground) (c) derive a relationship between loss at the ground and loss at any altitude. However, determination of valid relationships to find diffu- sion through the appendix opening would require large scale laboratory testing and then tedious derivation of mathematical equations, a study in research in itself. It was deemed more practical to red~ce or eliminate this type of loss of ·lift by reduction of the area of the opening by use of a relief valve system as explained in Part II of this report, "Operations," PP• 8-14. F. Bursting Pressure and Appendix Considerations Bursting pressure of a balloon can be computed from the equation: (1) ~p=~ for failure of the fabric or film, where: -47-
