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.

This equipment has been used in testing instruments to be flown and also equipment which is used in the launching and preparation before release. For example, the Du Pont S64 squibs, which have been used in conjunction with the flight-termination switches and also for severing launching lines, were tested in this chamber and found to fail when subjected simultaneously to cold temperature (-50 $ ^{\circ} \mathrm{C} $ ) and low pressures (10 millibars) although tests at either low temperature or low pressures alone produced no failures. As a result of these tests, a new squib, the S59, has been produced by Du Pont and is used in current flights. Other equipment which has been tested in the bell jar and the cold chamber includes the Lange barographs and the Olland-cycle pressure-measuring instruments. Report, cited by the archive.
