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.

1944 orders that say such things here. But you'll have to talk to Trakowski. My feeling is that he and Peoples provided the interface to the base and we just weren't bothered. We never saw anybody in security. There was certainly nobody keeping us secure. If anything, we were keeping ourselves secure. Q: These are the pictures taken in General Ramey's office, 8th Air Force Headquarters by a news photographer of the Fort Worth Star Telegram. It's four pictures that show various people with some equipment, and I'd just like to know what you believe that equipment to be. A: Joe Fletcher has written your friend Todd, and said there's no question that's a target. The only question is that there are people who allege this is a target that's been substituted for the real debris, and there are also stories where Marchelle said the picture in which he appears are the real stuff, etc. That looks very much like our radar targets. And you'll notice that this does look more aluminum foilish than what I have here. It's my memory that there was good, bright, aluminum metal foil, not painted stuff on the targets we were using. That looks like more than one target to me in the various pictures. That looks like the stuff we were flying. Q: I think they talked in terms of being a rawin target in this book. A: It's just radio wind. There are two kinds of radio winds -- the 400 megacycle transmitters tracked by the SCR-658, the old bed springs; and then the radar wind. Ray Win is the right way to say it. Q: So the rawin would be a radar target that most of the officers and the weather people there would have been associated with, they would have some knowledge of? A: Not really. As I say, these came out right at the end of the war. The warrant officer, I have a letter that he wrote Todd, I don't know if you've seen it... (Pause) Q: We've got this thing narrowed down to just a few flights. There couldn't have been... Due to your time frame, when you were there, the rancher went on the record of saying he picked it up the 14th or the 15th. A: The 14th. Q: So it would have to be in the June field trip, early in June. You had several service flights but you also had, you called them experimental flights. The experimental flights with the testing...
