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.

We have no information regarding mishaps of air vehicles belonging to civilian or other
government agencies. Please note that mishaps involving unmanned air vehicles (which during the
1940s included remotely piloted aircraft, low-speed "cruise missiles" like the V-1, and most
balloons) are considered "ground mishaps." Reports on such occurrences are not retained for an
extended period; AFR 4-20, vol II, Table 127-2, rule 4 directs the Air Force Safety Agency to
destroy them after 5 years.
