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.

About 70,% of all those units flown to date have been recovered.
The performar.ce specifications are as follows:
(a) Rotation: one revolution every 12 hours
(b) Duration: 36 hours running time
(c) Pressure range: 500 to 5 mb.
(d) Accuracy: ~5 mb.
(e) Readability: 1.0mb. or approximately .22 mm on the drum
(f) Weight: 1000 grams
(g) Time accuracy: 10%
{h) Temperature compensation between 300C and -700C
Instruments have been built by Lange Laboratories to meet
these requirements (the time accuracy figure is questionable~
