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.

Three receiving stations were used, with elevation and azimuth angles as well as the pressure altitude recorded by RDF (SCR-650) equipment. The trajectory of this flight (Figure 46), reconstructed from the data received at the ground station, indicates that the balloon was more than Figure 46 175 miles from the Nantucket station at the time the signal was first received. This reception is much greater than may be expected from most
