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.

We asked the National Personnel Records Center to see if they have any files for Roswell Air Force Base for the 1947 time frame in their holdings. They noted that the histories for the 509th Bomb Group and Wing for Roswell Army Air Base for period of November- December 1947 was transferred to Air University in 1953. The regular 1947 records have been destroyed. They do have a packet of Top Secret for 509th Bomb Wing, Walker Air Force Base, Roswell, NM for 1949-1950. They said we would need to look through this for any records. (d) provide copies of pertinent directives (including any changes of policies on retention and disposition) and records (i.e.,item c above) to SAF/AAZ, 1720 Air Force Pentagon, Washington, DC 20330-1720.
