PROJECT MOGUL Is there a link between the Roswell incident and Project Mogul. Could the debris that Brazel found be one of the Project Mogul flights which crashed near Roswell. Charles Moore, one of the scientists involved with project Mogul seems to think so. Project Mogul was a top-secret US military project involving high altitude ballons. This project operated uning the concept in the intelligence world of 'compartmentalization', where information on the project was on a strictly 'need-to-know' basis. Most people involved in the project did not know the name of the project, the objective of the project, or the 'modus operandi' of the project. The unclassified purpose of the project was to develop constant-altitude level balloons for meteorological purposes. The classified purpose was something different. It's purpose was to develop a long distance acoustic detection system of soviet nuclear detonations. It had been previously discovered (from World War II era analysis of the globally propagated sound waves produced by Krakatoa in 1883) that there was an acoustic 'duct' in the upper atmosphere between the troposphere and the stratosphere where, with the right type of detection equipment and acoustic microphones, the acoustical signature of nuclear explosions could be detected as they propagated through the upper atmosphere. This information would then be relayed to ground based receivers. It was an early form of eavesdropping. In the summer of 1947, Alamogordo Army Air Field in New Mexico was the main launch site for testing this top-secret ballon. Or ballons to be more precise, as it was in fact a very long train of up to two dozen ballons with a total length of over 200 meters. There is strong evidence to suggest that NYU Flight #4 launched on June 4, 1947 was the source of the debris found at the Foster ranch. There are many similiarities between the materials used in project mogul amd the Roswell debris. And this makes it difficult to exclude NYU flight #4 as a likely source of the Roswell debris. ___________________________ PROJET MOGUL Le projet Mogul est un projet américain top secret datant de 1947 qui a consisté, dans le cadre de la guerre froide, à envoyer des ballons-sondes afin d'espionner l'Union soviétique pour savoir si on y effectuait des tests nucléaires. C'est, d'après une commission d'enquête sénatoriale américaine, un de ces ballons dont la nacelle hexagonale, lorsqu'elle s'écrasa près de la ville de Roswell, a causé la célèbre affaire de Roswell. « Information concernant un disque volant […] Le disque a une forme hexagonale et a été suspendu à un ballon par un câble, lequel ballon avait approximativement vingt pieds de diamètre […] L'objet trouvé ressemble à un ballon météorologique de haute altitude avec un réflecteur radar […] Disque et ballon ayant été transportés à Wright Field par avion spécial pour examen […] en raison de l'intérêt national du cas […] »
