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.

General Nathan F. Twining, Commanding General, Air Materiel
Command, 1947. General Twining was Chief of Staff, United States Air
Force, 1953-1957. UFO theorists allege that General Twining altered his
plans unexpectedly in July 1947 to go to New Mexico to oversee the
recovery of a flying saucer. However, records indicate that Twining went
to New Mexico in July 1947, along with several other general officers, to
attend the Nuclear Bomb Commanders Course. He received orders to
attend this course more than a month before the alleged "incident"
occurred (see Atch 14). U.S. Air Force Photo.
