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.

This decrease of pressure of' 21 mb corresponds to a loss of SOC of superheat. In each of' the four periods of' ballast flow. there was enou~1 unnecessary ballast lost to cause an overshoot vmen the balloon returned to its floating level. This excess ballast was that used during the period when the balloon had begun to rise but was still below activation altitude of' the automatic ballast valve. The inefficient use of ballast was one of' the major objections to such a control :;yste::n. On this flight the ballast load of 3 kilograms was exhausted in only three hours, indicating a large loss of gas from this particular balloon. It is believed that the large initial acceleration provided by the rapid de- scent of the balloon caused the restoring force, and the subsequent over- shoot, to be very large, and the high ballast flow is probably much greater than "Was the loss of buoyancy on this t'light. -41-
