PROFESSOR MOORE - 6/8/94
Brazel gives the impression that it is the smoky rubber of a
balloon that's been in the sunlight.

A: That's circumstantial. That fits exactly with what
would have been done, and orthodox use of radar targets would not
have produced what he found. But you're quite right, there's
debris that was reported to us that •••
Q: ••• some sort of cylindrical instrument, though, that's
obviously an instrument package of some sort.
A: It had a plexiglass, it looked like maybe it had a uv
sensor. There was some optical equipment under the plexiglass
dome that was shattered •••
Q: You're familiar with the popular literature about the
various crash sites. There's one crash site, two crash sites,
three crash sites and all that craziness?
A: Yes.
Q: What I'm thinking is we may have two incidents here,
where they collected your debris from your radar targets, and
then there may have been another something else not related to a
balloon.
A: There could have been other things from White Sands.
This was on the edge of the proving ground. There's a story
behind this, and that is that a rancher, whose land had been
taken from him to form the proving ground, had cattle that were

So this was really on the range. It would be hard for me to
understand how the sort of operations, which I knew, could have
fallen as far away as these other sites you talk about. This was
really on the northeast corner of the range, just west of the
town of Carazoso.
Q: So that's not too far from here.

Here is where the Brazel finding was, just north of this
the road here, and there's Roswell.
Q: You're talking in terms of sites around Corona and in
that vicinity. So it's quite possible that there had been other
typ,es of debris from the proving ground or •••
