thought. the Roswell incident, so-called, was caused by one of our
balloons.
Q: Did anyone ever mention it to you once you returned?
Did any of the Red Bank folks mention it to you, or even in
passing, or told you that maybe you'd better tighten up your
procedures or anything of that nature, or a memo?
A: I have no memory. I do think that Peoples had the idea
that it was one of our balloons, and it wasn't a matter of
tightening up our procedures, it was just one of our balloons we
couldn't recover. As you'll see looking at Crary's diary, there
was no frantic effort to recover the earlier flights, even though
they had microphones on them. I read to you one about some
equipment had been stolen by the time we got there. As you can
see in the diary, there's no record that there was any major
problem.
Q: So even though the equipment was taken, there was no
shroud of secrecy, the MPs didn't come out and close down the
area or anything of this sort.
A: No, not at all.
Q: It was just expected in the normal course of research •
Expendable equipment.
A: Expendable equipment.
Q: And you had no fear that it was going to be taken by
enemy agents or •••
A: No, the biggest fear was the thought of loose talking,
and we just didn't talk about the purpose of this. We certainly
did talk a lot about our balloons, and there was just no security
or no concern. We were flying constant level balloons.
Q: For pressure and temperature .•.
A: For meteorological trajectories. A lot of interest in
trajectories.
One thing I should mention is that after I had visited from
William Moore around •so or '81, I wrote Ro Peoples and at that
time Jim Peoples was in the Geology Department at the University
of Kansas. I wrote him and got a letter back from Ro Peoples
saying that he had died. So I wrote her back and said there was
considerable interest still in this Roswell incident, and did he
ever get called out ••• I do know that on occasion he got
involved in classified things and left us. I asked her did he
ever talk to her about anything regarding this debris that had
been recovered. aer letter, which I perhaps can find somewhere,
was the fact that no, he thought that flying saucers were a bunch
of hooey, and he had a very low opinion of people who believed in
