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 the surprising thing. As far as I know we just never interfaced with the military. Q: Where were you actually operating from? A: We operated out of the north area of Alamagordo Army Air Field. This hangar right here, which was a big wooden hangar, on the south side of the ramp in the north area. Q: That was arranged by Peoples? A: Crary was already resident there when we had arrived. Q: That's right. He arrived first to establish the ground stations first. A: Correct. As you'll see in this, he was already firing explosive for the GR-6, the various sound-ranging microphones. Q: Did he have a cover story for those ground explosions and the microphones? A: I don't know. There were very few enlisted men on the airfield. As Trakowski said, it was about to be closed. There was a motor pool, because in the stuff Todd has dug up, there were a bunch of weapons carriers being requisitioned. We certainly had some brand new, good ground transportation that was just turned over to us. We civilians were driving weapons carriers to carry helium around, and to go into town to get meals, etc. Q: So you operated from Alamagordo Army Air Field. You did not operate out of White Sands. A: That is correct. Q: There is a difference. A: A very strong schism between the ordnance people across the valley 50-odd miles at the proving ground, and the skeleton group at Alamagordo Army Air Field. Q: So there weren't many people at Alamagordo. A: Correct. The main people I have a memory of were the people operating what sticks in my mind as either C-5 or an M-5 radar. I knew the Signal Corps designation, the SCR-584s and 270-s, etc., but this was some new radar that had a bigger dish on it and was on the north side of the ramp. It would have been... This is looking toward the south. You can see here, those are some old abandoned, those were barracks used to handle air crew during training of World War II. They were all closed and dusty and we didn't use them. We were in barracks down somewhere on the main base. But we were just in an enlisted
