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.

# XXXXXXXXXXXXXX MATERIEL TSELT MEMORANDUM FOR: Major General Curtis LeMay SUBJECT: Relief of Major R. T. Crane as Project Officer for MOGUL and TORRID 1. In compliance with General Spaatz' directive, I contacted Dr. M. Ewing at Columbia University on 15 June 1946 and discussed the proposed relief of Major R. T. Crane as project officer on projects MOGUL and TORRID. 2. Dr. Ewing was exceedingly pleasant and agreed to the relief of Major Crane, asking only that it be done in such a way as to cause as little embarrassment to any of the parties concerned as possible. I advised him that the matter would be handled diplomatically. 3. I then discussed with Dr. Ewing the subject of a successor to Major Crane and suggested to him that Colonel Marcellus Duffy, a Regular Army officer and well-qualified on meteorological research and development work, might be made available for this duty. Dr. Ewing advised that he believed that he could work well with Colonel Duffy if he is assigned to this work. It was further agreed that as soon as a project officer is finally selected, a conference would be held with Dr. Ewing and the new project officer and Colonel Maier and Colonel Graul in order that there will be a clear understanding as to the objectives to be accomplished.
