PROFESSOR MOORE - 6/8/94
Q: The New York University reports are very voluminous.
There are three big bound volumes. I have the originals with
your signature.

A: You're making my point, that there probably wasn't any
other nearby radiosonde station for us to receive things. I'd
forgotten all about Big Springs, but I'm sure we made every
effort we could to get radiosonde reception.
Q: Can you think of, just in general, any other
explanation for what became the so-called Roswell incident, other
than what we've discussed here as far as potentially your balloon
project, which at that time was a very secretive project. Is
there any other explanation you can think of?
A: No, and the particulars of this case are sufficiently
nearly unique, that I think no one else had anything that could
have fit into providing these results. No, we were doing
something that was unorthodox, using targets that, as far as I
know, had not been flown before in New Mexico. There's no way
that the rancher could have ever seen one. And there's no way
that either Major Marcel nor General Ramey or General Ramey's
people could have come up with providing a radar to substitute
for the real debris. I think there's a very high likelihood that
the unusual things we were doing provided this debris.
However, all the other stuff that's in, and a lot of the
material, I can't explain bodies or material that can't be
[folded) by a sledge hammer.
Q: Let's dwell on the bodies just for a second here. It
turns out that during this time frame, 1947, 1948, 1949, there
were numerous aircraft accidents, a lot of fatal aircraft
accidents, in this general vicinity. Did you all ever come
across any of those?
A: No, sir.
(END OF SIDE)
Q: There was an accident that took place right out of
Roswell, a B-29, two B-29 accidents that resulted in fatal
crashes. We were wondering if maybe over time people were
beginning to think in terms of those fatal accidents, which
essentially scattered body parts, small parts, over areas, where
people were getting confused with what occurred in those aircraft
accidents with the sensationalism of this UFO story.
A: As I said in my letter, all of us went back to NYU on
the 8th of July and we heard about that afternoon, and we just
thought it was one of our balloons. All of us that were in that
group have held onto that view for a long time. I do have crew's
letter here. He apparently joined us for that Operation
Sandstone pickup crew in '48, but he knew that we knew that we
