PROFESSOR MOORE - 6/8/94
A: That's about two mil polyethylene here.
Q: Obviously, you could tear this.
A: This was four mil. These balloons that we had ...
That's Flight 8. These are the little balloons here that are
seen from the air.
Q: From a B-17?
8
A: I think this was a C-45. We did, indeed, have B-17's
attached to us, and c-54's. But I think this was trying to chase
Flight 8 down. This was one of the candidate flights that I
thought might have been, until two years ago, I thought might
have been an explanation for what occurred.
Q: Why did you change your mind at that point?
A: Because of that newspaper report right there.
Q: Because of him saying that he actually found the
material in mid-June?
A: No, because he said it was balsa sticks and smoky
rubber and had those curious markings on that. That's a very
vivid memory I have of these markings on the radar targets we
flew.
Q: You said you often wondered why those markings were on
there. Had you ever resolved that for yourself?
A: Only what Albert Trakowski told me, that our friend
John Peterson, the procurement man, was just joking, "What else
do you expect when you have your targets made by a toy factory?"
Let me go back, if I may. Colonel Duffy was assigned to
extract meteorological.equipment out of the Signal_Corps in 1943.
There was a great argume·n.t that went on between the Army Air
Force and the Signal Corps. The Signal Corps didn't want to let
any meteorological equipment out until he thought it was perfect.
At the same time, General Arnold was expanding for a global war,
and was trying to get meteorological equipment all around the
earth. So Colonel Duffy got assigned to expedite the equipment.
As various of us graduated from the meteorological cadet schools,
he took those of us with engineering backgrounds and assigned us
to bird dog various things within the Signal Corps engineering
laboratories. I got assigned to ••• I ended up with some
appendicitis and got pulled off of an overseas shipment, and
while I was recovering I got assigned to prepare this manual that
Colonel Duffy, he was unhappy with the rate at which Signal
manuals were coming out so he wanted a loose leaf arrangement to
send things out. So I got assigned to prepare this manual.
