PROFESSOR MOORE - 6/8/94 22
A: No. we were the balloonists. This was all ground-
based stuff. There was also an operation in Bermuda. Then later
you'll find ••.
Q: crary also initiated that?
A: He was in charge of it. He was running it. They went
and got a whole bunch of soo pound bombs out of the Earl
Ammunition Depot in New Jersey. Later you'll find that they did
a bunch down in the Canal zone. Then eventually they went to
Alaska.
Q: This was prior to '47?
A: The New Jersey, and I think the Bermuda operation,
you'll find a hint in this diary I gave you, you'll find a hint
about Bermuda and so on in there. He was talking about trying to
measure the sky waves coming in.
If you're interested, we can go extract, there's a paper in
the Journal of Meteorology in something like '47.
Q: I believe I have that. Is that the same one?
A: No, this is by Crary.
Q: Crary did quite a few publications for Red Bank and
then for cambridge Labs.
A: Correct. But you'll find one, I think it's either '74
or '49. If you want we can go over to our library and make you a
xerox of it.
Q: .I'm familiar with that one.
A: It's very circumspect as far as classified matter.
Q: So Peoples and Crary had Columbia University
affiliation?
A: Well, watson. They were derived from Columbia. Both
of them were derived ••. I think Peoples got his PhD under Ewing
at Columbia, and crary didn't get his doctorate until later.
Q: You said crary's ground station was Alamagordo, but he
was actually doing explosions in Alaska, off Bermuda, Panama, the
Jersey coast.
A: In the late '46, early '47 era, he was in Alamagordo,
in and around Alamagordo. He was very concerned about explosions
off the Jersey coast and I think off Bermuda. The Panama Canal
operation I think was not associated with Alamagordo at that
time.
