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.

1'bree other pointa of interest •Y be seen on this barotrace s (1) The
two veey pronounced step effects found on the rising portion of the flight
at about 625 mb and 480mb correspond to stable layers in the atmosphere aa
seen 1'rom the El Paso radiosonde sounding taken at 0800 JIST (Figure 18).

.(2) The clock of the barograph stopped after being exposed about 10 hours
at cold temperature. (:S) During the floating period :many small oscilla-
tions are seen on the pressure record. Neglecting superheat changes, there
is no ftriation in the forces of the balloon system except the constantly
decreasing weight of ballast and the monotonic loss of lifting gas. and
these oscillations must, therefore, be attributed to some fozee in the atmosphere.
