account told by Bill Brazel and the neighbours of the Foster ranch.
It will always make me chuckle that -whether you believe it was a downed unknown craft or a crashed device
used in the surveillance of Soviet nuclear testing, the sheep-herder reported the debris had laid on the desert
floor for over 22 days before he took some to Sheriff Wilcox in Roswell.
It doesn't matter whether -some suggest, Brazel was trying to jump on the new 'flying saucer' craze he'd allegedly
heard discussed in a Corona bar (Wade's), what matters is the assumed importance put on the classified Mogul
experiment and the lack of concern to retrieve the equipment attached to the balloon.
Why make it a secret mission, if -after supposedly receiving the radio-transmitted data from the floating device,
the actual equipment is then forgotten about? Surely the dangling array couldn't broadcast all of its findings as
many of the parts were just foil-wrapped aerofoils that were there to slow the balloon's ascent. Remember, these
balloons were devised to maintain a certain height in the lower area of the stratosphere and not 'whizz' around
like the object seen the night before the crash by the Wilmots.
Nobody asks how heavy the radio device was that transmitted the information from the stratosphere or why
such a piece of machinery (and parts) were never recognised by army personnel or even Sheriff Wilcox.
(With battery BA-70: 38.23 lb)
Weren't downed weather balloons a regular occurrence in that region of the US...? This one was certainly
treated in the same fashion as those experimental devices. No secrets, not 'arrests' for those who find them!
My main question is why would you wrap a "secret" or "spy" balloon in tinfoil, which is bound to increase it's radar signature and light reflection qualities, and make it much more highly visible?
Seems a little counter-productive to me, and more than a little fishy as stories go.
