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.

Lt. Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, Deputy Commander, U.S. Army Air Forces, 1947.
General Vandenberg served as Chief of Staff, United States Air Force 1947-1953. He
is alleged to have directed the recovery of a flying saucer at Roswell Army Air Field
on July 8, 1947. A review of his official daily activities calendar revealed his
knowledge of a reported flying saucer recovery on July 7 in Texas, an incident that he
later determined to be a hoax. Records do not support the claim that he had any similar
involvement on July 8, as charged by crashed saucer conspiracy theorists (see Atch 15 ).
