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.

VII. CONCLUSIONS Considerable experimental work has been done in conjunction with the study ot balloons and controls. The description ot operating pro- cedures and the use ot specially developed equipment is included in Part II of this report, "Operations," (bound separately). A summary of the results ot flights made to teat equipment and cont.rol1 is given in Part III, "SUJIID.ry of Flights." At this time the use of thin polyethylene balloons with pressure-activated ballast controls has been demonstrated effectively to meet the contract requirements. Tests made on another contract have found controls consistently active over 24 hours with an average pressure constancy of t2 mb. at 200 mb. Even greater ballast efficiency has been found at higher altitudes using the same pressure-activated controls. -79-
