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.

Stiffeners are added so that the appendix will not foul
in the rigging. With a fouled appendix the helium cannot
be valved, and the balloon after becoming full at its
ceiling will burst. These stiffeners are -taped to the
outside of the appendix just before inflation.
The various appendix types which have been used are given
in the following tablea
