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.

Q: So when you returned in September, did you see that somebody had tampered with your equipment and used up some of your balloons? A: If it did, it didn't ring a bell. Q: And no one mentioned it to you. No one said hey, look, we had to do something while you were gone. A: I think we were just some ignorant, little innocent graduate student contractors on a military base, and things were going on that we didn't know anything about. Q: So no one approached you to say they had used some of your equipment? A: Not at all.
