SC: Yeah.
RW: Yeah. We were still dealing with copper wire. You can bend light with fiber optics, and
that's where we got...we (the world) got fiber optics from that material which we reverse
engineered. That's the implication.
SC: O.K ... I didn't see any of that, but there could have been some wire or nylon or something.
RW. 0 .K. "Together Marcel and the Counterintelligence agent walked around the entire
perimeter looking at clues. It took them most of the morning to do it because of the size of the
field they started collecting material at the outer edge of the field and moved in toward the
center." So, this implies that this was a pretty major undertaking that you and Marcel - in order
to examine all of this stuff took a long time because of the volume of the material. This is what I
imply from that.
SC: If it were true, you know, the size of the rancher's field they are sometimes a section that are
miles square, maybe larger. No.
RW: But there wasn't material all over?
SC: No.
RW: You are right. You could walk into New Mexico forever with...
SC: Oh Lord! Ranches are big out and down in New Mexico. No, .. .I didn't spend any extended
time down there at the site.
RW: O.K. Then, on page SS, it talks about there was discussion that this may have been a foil
parachute from a V-2. Were you aware that they were testing, we were testing, V-2's at that time
out ofWbite Sands?
SC: Oh yeah. I went down to a couple of launches. One abort and one launch.
RW: O.K. But there was no doubt in your mind that this was not part ofV-2 or any other type
of rocket when you saw the debris in the field?
SC: No. No. I never had any idea that it was anything with the V-2. They told us down at the
V-2 site that they weren't shooting them toward Roswell, anyway. Of course the sent up a few of
them and they had an awful lot of aborts. They bad to detonate them or pull the trigger... shortly
after they got off the launch pad because they went awry, shall we say.
RW: Yeah. Apparently one went awry and went into Mexico, too. They already found that
later.
