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.

Fligl\t 106: Released fran Alamogordo, New Mexico, 0657 M.ST, February a. 1949 Recovered at Ellsmore, Kansas 1'his was the first .flight to clearly demonstrate the e.f.ficieilt action ot a combination ballast control--displacement switch and rate-or-ascent nitch--on a 2o-toot, .001• polyethylene balloon. From the height-time curve and ballast-flaw record (Figure 54), it will be seen that the ballast con- trol waa operating at 41,000 teet USL during the period or radio reception from Alamogordo, New Mexico. By the time the second receiving station picked up the signal, all of the ballast had been exhausted and the balloon was falling. On this flight a high loss of lifting gas caused the total ballast load ot 600 g~s to be exhausted in leas than .five hours. (Average used in first two hours was 1700 grams per hour.) bllllllil FLIGHT 106 RIIIGIId at Alamo9ordo,N:M. IALLAIT 'LOW-..,_ Feb.&, 1949- 0657 MST OLLA..
