When the civilians and personnel from Roswell AAF (Marcel, Cavitt, and Rickett) “stumbled” upon the highly classified project and collected the debris, no one at Roswell had a “need to know” about information concerning MOGUL. This fact, along with the initial misidentification and subsequent rumors that the “capture” of a “flying disc” occurred, ultimately left many people with unanswered questions that have endured to this day.
