The Roswell Report: Fact versus Fiction in the New Mexico Desert was published by Headquarters United States Air Force in 1995. The Black Vault distributes this copy. It reproduces the report by Col. Richard L. Weaver and the synopsis by 1st Lt. James McAndrew, both written after a General Accounting Office inquiry requested by Representative Steven Schiff. The Air Force search found no evidence of an extraterrestrial craft or crew. It concluded that the Roswell debris most likely came from NYU Flight No. 4, a Project MOGUL balloon train.

A: That's really saying did we have aircraft on it or not, and what percentage. Here the B-17 was on it for 40 percent of the time. Indeed, that was the aircraft tracking for the Mogul operation. Q: That was for the electronic data gathering. A: That's correct. Q: Not observing the balloon to tell you where it went down. A: That's right. Well, we did have the aircraft stay as long as we could. As long as we could end up with that very expensive aircraft chasing an air balloon, we were happy. On the flight that came down east of Roswell on one of these, Flight 5 or so on came down east of Roswell, the aircraft spotted it on the ground for us and told us where to go to look for it. Q: About 17 miles east of Roswell. A: Then we had another one, Flight 11... Q: That's the one that appears to come down northwest of Roswell. A: Correct. Q: It appears to have almost come down exactly where they're talking about. A: That's right. Q: That's the one where you provided a depiction to Colonel Weaver. Q: No, that's another one. Q: That's an earlier one, that's right. A: Where is that old NYU report? (Pause) Here it is right here. More or less due west of Walker, Roswell Army Air Field. Q: Then this graphic conflicts with this graphic, which shows Number 11 coming down... Is that circle the Roswell reporting station? A: That's about right. Q: Is this circle a weather reporting station which would be Roswell?
