PROFESSOR MOORE - 6/8/94 48
A: That's the surprising thing. As far as I know we just
never interfaced with the military.
Q: Where were you actually operating from?
A: We operated out of the north area of Alamagordo Army
Air Field. This hangar right here, which was a big wooden
hangar, on the south side of the ramp in the north area.
Q: That was arranged by Peoples?
A: Crary was already resident there when we had arrived.
Q: That's right. He arrived first to establish the ground
stations first.
A: Correct. As you'll see in this, he was already firing
explosive for the GR-6, the various sound-ranging microphones.
Q: Did he have a cover story for those ground explosions
and the microphones?
A: I don't know. There were very few enlisted men on the
airfield. As Trakowski said, it was about to be closed. There
was a motor pool, because in the stuff Todd has dug up, there
were a bunch of weapons carriers being requisitioned. We
certainly had some brand new, good ground transportation that was
just turned over to us. We civilians were driving weapons
carriers to carry helium around, and to go into town to get
meals, etc.
Q: So you operated from Alamagordo Army Air Field. You
did not operate out of White Sands.
A: That is correct.
Q: There is a difference.
A: A very strong schism between the ordnance people across
the valley 50-odd miles at the proving ground, and the skeleton
group at Alamagordo Army Air Field.
Q: So there weren't many people at Alamagordo.
A: Correct. The main people I have a memory of were the
people operating what sticks in my mind as either c-s or an M-5
radar. I knew the Signal Corps designation, the SCR-584s and
270-s, etc., but this was some new radar that had a bigger dish
on it and was on the north side of the ramp. It would have
been ..• This is looking toward the south. You can see here,
those are some old abandoned, those were barracks used to handle
air crew during training of World War II. They were all closed
and dusty and we didn't use them. We were in barracks down
somewhere on the main base. But we were just in an enlisted
