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.

MOGUL Project Scientist Dr. James Peoples. Peoples's deci- sion not to bring the radiosonde tracking equipment for the NYU field trip in June 1947 prompted Project Engineer C.B. Moore to attach additional ra- dar targets to the MOGUL bal- loon trains. The targets, seldom used in the continental United States, were recovered by the rancher and mistaken to be part of a flying saucer. Capt. Albert C. Trakowski who succeeded Colonel Duffy as MOGUL Project Officer, con- firmed in a recent interview that the debris mistaken for part of a flying saucer was flown to Wright Field (now Wright-Pat- terson AFB) OH, not for scien- tific analysis as alleged by UFO theorists, but for Colonel Duf- fy's personal identification.
