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.

radio reception using a new model of the Olland-cycle modulator and a T-69
radiosoncl.e transmitter. Three receiving stations were used, with elevation
and admuth angles ae well as the pressure altitude recorded by BDF (SCR-659)
equipnent. The trajectory of this flight (Figure 46), reconstructed from the
data received at the r;ound station, indicates that the balloon was more than
