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.

Little is known positively about the floating levels since radiosonde
data was not obtained on most flights, and no barographs were available.
Three receiving stations at Alamogordo, Roswell and Carlsbad, New Mexico were
used to position the balloon with radio direction-finding equipment. By
assuming • floating level corresponding to the load, several flight patterns
were derived. No aircraft tracking was provided to check these comi>uted.
