Documents / FOIA release
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.

Dr. Athelstan F. Spilhaus, Director of Research at New York University, oversaw but had no direct involvement in the activities of the NYU Balloon Group or the alleged incident. He did, however, serve on various high-level panels which set military and national policy, including the USAF Scientific Advisory Board (1953-1957). When asked, for the purpose of this report-and released from any security oaths he may have taken-if he ever had knowledge of a recovery of an extraterrestrial vehicle or its occupants by the U.S. Government, his unqualified response was "no." Col. Marcellus Duffy, a highly capable scientific research officer, was a MOGUL project officer. Maj. Gen. Curtis LeMay, Deputy Chief of Air Staff for Research and Development, turned to Colonel Duffy to make adjustments to MOGUL after the project's progres~ was determined to be inadequate (see App 8 ).
