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.

near the floating level on Flight 60. With a relatively slight change in
elevation, the balloon passed from Westerlies (below) to Easterlies (above)
with the result that the balloon was still visible from the launching site
(Alamogordo, New Mexico) at sunset, 14~ hours after released. The finder
reported seeing the balloon descend 35 hours after release.
Sinoe the ballast flowing to maintain buoyancy would have been exhausted
in only 5 hours, this flight provideq the first evidence that such a bal-
loon in the stratosphere maintains buoyancy much longer than at lower levels.
The two factors which contribute to this are the heat added to the helium
by adiabatic compression when descending and the oimi~ diffusion of
lifting gas at a low pressure.
On Flights 56 and 60, a three-station network was set up to receive
pressure signals on radio direction-finding (SCR-658) equipment. In
addition, theodolites were used for severalhours in each case.
