Official position · S-003
Responding to the requests of Rep. Steven Schiff and to the GAO investigation, the Air Force determined that the Roswell debris came from Project Mogul and that the weather balloon explanation given in 1947 was a cover story; the report published in 1995 attributed the debris to a balloon train launched on June 4, 1947.

What it denies and what it leaves open
It explains the 1947 debris without resorting to extraterrestrial hypotheses and admits that the 1947 official version was not truthful; the accounts of alien bodies are addressed only in the 1997 report.
- Who disputes it
- Ufologists such as Stanton Friedman and the authors Carey and Schmitt dispute the reconstruction; Elizondo, in the book Imminent (2024), claims that four non-human bodies were recovered at Roswell.
