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 Curtis E. LeMay was Deputy Chief of Air Staff for Research
and Development, U.S. Army Air Forces, in 1947, and later Chief of Staff,
United States Air Force, 1961-1965. As Deputy Chief of Air Staff for
Research and Development, LeMay had a strong influence on the high-
priority Project MoGUL (see Apps 8 and 9 ). He also maintained close
associations throughout his career with former subordinates from World
War II bombing campaigns, including Brig. Gen. Roger M. Ramey and
Col. William H. Blanchard.
Brig. Gen .. Roger M. Ramey was the Commanding General, Eighth Air
Force, in 1947. He is alleged to have participated in the cover-up of the
recovery of an extraterrestrial vehicle by substituting debris from an
ordinary weather balloon for that of an alien spacecraft. In fact, General
Ramey displayed the original debris recovered from the ranch, which came
from a MoGUL balloon train. Ramey withheld only the components that
would have compromised the highly sensitive project (see Atch 16).
