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.

Flights 54, 56 and 60: On these three flights, made in April and May, 1948, fixed-leak ballast losses were used to keep a .001" polyethylene balloon aloft, but no barograph record of pressure is available. From the descent points (Figure 19) and the radiosonde data which was received it is believed that the ballast flows of about 300 grams per hour were adequate. On both Flights 56 and 60 a very light load was lifted, and the floating level in each case was over 60,000 feet MSL. Light winds were encountered in both cases, and a reversal from Westerlies to Easterlies was experienced
