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.

A check against the trajectory and end point o£ the balloon flight was
•d• by a group o£ graduate studenta o£ meteorology at New York University.
By conatructing constant-pressure maps £ram the appropriate radiosonde data.
the expected trajectory was computed assuming the balloon would move with
the geostrophic wind. The results o£ this comparison (Figure 21) show that
the balloon tends to move across the isobars toward lower pressure.
