COL TRAKOWSKI - 6/29/94 3
the time, and probably ever. I remained project officer of Project MOGUL through our move of the
laboratory from Watson Laboratories at Eatontown, New Jersey, to Cambridge, Massachusetts, and
combined my laboratory, which was then known as the Geophysical Research Directorate, with that of
John Marchetti's Electronics Research Directorate, and these two components made up the Air Force
Cambridge Research Center.
I continued in my position of the Director of the geophysics component until May of 1949, when
I was relieved of the duty at my own request and returned to school at MIT.
Q: Until '49, were you still on Project MOGUL?
A: Yes, indeed. And Project MX-968.
Q: You were on-site in New Mexico when Charlie Moore was doing most of his work, some
of the early launches out of Alamagordo.
A: Yes. Jim Peoples and I went down to Alamagordo in early July 1947 to assist and observe
the prototype launches being done by Charlie Moore and his crew from New York University.
Q: You said you went in July of '47, so you were there only in July. Was that early in July?
A: Yes, it was early in July. Again, I think those dates are in this tape of my conversation
with Mr. Pflock. It was early in July. The Roswell incident occurred after I returned to Watson
Laboratories. I wasn't involved in it at all. Really, the only thing that I knew about it, after it happened,
was that Colonel Duffy called me on the telephone from Wright Field and gave me a story about a fellow
that had come in from New Mexico, woke him up in the middle of the night, or some such thing, with
a handful of debris, and wanted him, Colonel Duffy, to identify it.
Q: Did he identify who the person was?
A: No, I don't remember the person at all. I don't remember who came from New Mexico,
no.
Q: Someone came from New Mexico with this debris?
A: Yes, I believe that's correct.
Q: They came to his quarters?
A: Yes, at Wright Field, yes. He had quarters on the base at Wright Field.
Q: Was his family there?
A: Yes.
Q: Did he identify the type of debris?
