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 could provide up to 40 hours of pressure-time data if recovered. At present, about 60 percent of the flights have been recovered. 2. The adoption of a time-interval or Olland-cycle radiosonde system for telemetering pressure data. 3. Expansion of the network of ground tracking stations equipped with SCR-658 direction finding sets to increase reception of data telemetered. Figure 18 shows the area to the east of Alamogordo, New Mexico, and the probable boundaries of flight paths following release from the Alamogordo Army Air Base. Table III shows the prevailing wind data on which these probable boundaries are based. Also shown in Figure 18 are the desirable locations for SCR-658 sets and the overlap of reception ranges which could be expected, using stations at Alamogordo, Roswell, New Mexico; Hobbs, N.Mex; and Big Springs, Texas.
