Transcript from 8 June 94, Interview with
Professor Charles Moore
(A) Professor Charles Moore
Project Engineer - Project Mogul
(Q) Colonel Jeff Butler
(Q) Lieutenant Jim McAndrew
8 June 1994
A: ... or. Spilhaus, who you may have met, was really the
Director of the project.
Q:
regards.
We talked with him last week. He sends you his
He's a very interesting man to chat with.
A: But I was essentially the project engineer and a
graduate student, whereas he was Director of Research at New York
University at that time.
Q: We have gone through many of the various technical
documents related to Project Mogul and some of the other work
that you and Dr. Spilhaus and others have done with the Constant
Altitude balloon projects. According to Dr. Spilhaus, he said
you would be the technical expert as it related to those types of
projects in terms of the materials involved, the instrumentation,
that sort of thing. Is that a pretty accurate statement?
A: I think that's correct.
Q: What we're really here for is to discuss this that came
out in the newspaper and the General Accounting Office's
investigation of how we deal with records, the acquisition, and
ultimately disposition. There is an allegation that the
Government is involved in a conspiracy and coverup of something
that occurred in 1947, which is the allegation of their being
some sort of flying disk, flying saucer, UFO, what have you.
A: That's correct.
Q: Of course the people who put out things such as this
journal, MUFON, Mutual UFO Network, the books that have been
written by William Moore, and Randall Schmidt, and others, a lot
of the popular television shows, they've just exacerbated the
situation where a lot of things, quotations, some of your
quotations taken out of context. One of the individuals,
Sheridan Cavitt, who at that time was a Counter-Intelligence
Corps officer at (Roswell] Army Airfield who actuall} went out
with Jesse Marcel to recover some material that has b~en alleged
to be the results of a UFO which Colonel Cavitt specifically
states looked like a weather balloon to him.
A: I'm aware that he had been there, but I'd understood
that other quotations had been attributed to him.
Q: Yes, sir. As we go through this, I believe I've got a
copy of essentially a statement he made to Colonel Weaver, whom
