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.
Flight 110: Released tram Alamogordo, New Mexico, 0649 MST, February 11, 1949 Recovered at Kershaw, South Carolina This .flight had as its main objectives the testing of a Winzen Research Inc ••0015", 20-foot polyethylene balloon, and further testing of the combina- tion ballast control--displacement switch and rate-of-ascent switch. Following the initial ascent of this flight, a slow descent resulted from loss of lifting gas. Three hours were required for a descent of' 2000 feet to the pressure where ballast i'low was begun. This and the general flight pattern indicate the satisfactory nature of this Winzen Research Inc. balloon. After ballast started,. the valve stuck and a constant flow at 1800 grams per hour followed. The rising ceiling seen in Figure 56 is the typical flight pattern for a balloon Whose load is being steadily decreased at a rate in excess of the loss of buoyancy.
