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.

(Type E preferred); a rotating commutator of two segments, an insulator and a conductor; a six volt 1 rpm motor; and a shelf for the pen arm. In calibration, the aneroid cell is moved across the base by means of a screw which allows selection of various altitudes for control. Initially the pen arm rides on the shelf during ascent so that the circuit to the valve remains open until the balloon approaches floating altitude. Several thousand feet before ascent is completed the pen arm falls off the shelf closing the ballast circuit (Fig. 2) and causing ballast flow during the final period of ascent. When the balloon reaches control Fig. 2 Ballast Control Circuit
