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.

A New York University launch crew prepares a MOGUL balloon train for flight (Holloman AFB, NM, 1948). The three ML-307C/AP corner reflectors (left) are of the type that W.W. "Mac" Brazel recovered on a ranch near Corona, NM, in June 1947. C.B. Moore, New York University Constant Level Balloon Project Engineer (left and standing), adjusts an AN/FMQ-1 radiosonde receiver/recorder. The absence of this equipment on the first NYU field trip in June 1947 (it was left behind in New York due to space limitations of the B-17 aircraft) prompted Moore to attach additional ML-307C/AP corner reflectors to MOGUL flights. The addition of the oddly constructed reflectors, intended to enhance radar returns, contributed to the confusion when Mogul Flight No. 4 returned to earth and was mistaken for a part of a flying saucer. Moore (right and reaching down) prepares experimental Project MOGUL microphones for launch (Holloman AFB, Alamogor- do, NM, July 1948).
