Project Mogul was a top secret project involving high-altitude balloons carrying radar corner reflectors, designed to detect atomic bomb explosions and possibly forewarn of an atomic attack on the United States run by Dr. James Peoples[?], assisted by Dr. Albert P. Crary.
It was said that one of these balloons was what crashed at Roswell, New Mexico, and that the desire to maintain secrecy on this project eventually led to the stories of UFOs and cover-ups.

  Project Mogul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Project Mogul (sometimes referred as Operation Mogul) was a top secret project involving high altitude balloons, started in 1947, whose primary purpose was long-distance detection of atomic bomb tests in the Soviet Union through detection of the sound waves in the upper atmosphere generated by the explosions.
Project Mogul was the forerunner of the Skyhook balloon program, started in the late 1940s, and another spying program involving overflights and photo-surveillance of the Soviet Union in the early 1950s, called Project Moby Dick.
The early Mogul balloons consisted of large clusters of rubber meteorological balloons.

 Project Mogul
Project MOGUL was first conceived by Dr. Maurice Ewing of Columbia University, NY, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, MA.
Balloon operations associated with Project Mogul were conducted at various locations throughout the United States and the Pacific, the latter in reference to acoustical detection research associated with the Sandstone atomic tests at Entiwetok Atoll in April and May 1948.
Even though the principle on which the project was based was determined to be sound, questions concerning cost, security, and practicality were discussed-that ultimately led to the disbandment of the project, and Project MOGUL as first conceived was never put into operational use.

Project Mogul (sometimes referred to as Operation Mogul) was a top secret project by the US Army Air Forces involving high altitude balloons, whose primary purpose was long-distance detection of sound waves generated by Soviet atomic bomb tests and ballistic missiles.
The project involved arrays of balloons carrying microphones and radio transmitters to relay the signals to the ground.

It is maintained by some that One of the early balloon flights, Flight 4 from June 4, 1947, was what crashed near Roswell, New Mexico, and that the desire to maintain secrecy on this Project eventually led to the Roswell UFO incident.
Project Mogul balloons sometimes carried radar corner reflectors for tracking.
One of the primary arguments against a Mogul balloon crash explaining the Roswell events is that only the purpose, Soviet atomic bomb detection, was top secret, but none of the equipment was classified.

Additionally, several surviving project personnel were located and interviewed, as was the only surviving person who recovered debris from the original Roswell site in 1947, and the former officer who initially identified the wreckage as a balloon.
In order to provide a more detailed discussion ofthe specifics of Project Mogul and how it appeared to be directly responsible for the "Roswell Incident," a SAF/AAZD researcher prepared a more detailed discussion on the balloon project which is appended to this report as Atch 32.

The program was called Project Mogul, and its goal, set by a postwar America wary of losing its atomic monopoly, was to search high in the atmosphere for weak reverberations from nuclear-test blasts half a world away.
Later it pioneered the use of polyethylene balloons, which today remain an important tool of high-altitude research because their transparency lessens solar heating and the up at-day, down-at-night cycle that such heating imposes on balloons.
Operationally it was a nightmare, but scientifically it was a great success, Dr. Charles B. Moore, Mogul's project engineer and now an emeritus professor of atmospheric physics at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, in Socorro, said in an interview.

 Did Aliens crash land near Roswell? A WebDilemma
The military, in 1994, released a report stating that the Roswell incident had nothing to do with weather balloons, but in fact, had to do with a sensitive, classified project called Mogul, which was designed to determine the state of Soviet nuclear weapons research.
Or was the debris found indeed part of a top-secret project, and the reasons for keeping it quiet were due to the sensitive nature of the project?
Project Mogul exists, and what crashed was indeed debris related to the project.

 Analysis of Air Force Report on Roswell
Second, the Air Force has no Mogul balloon material from 1947 to show to witnesses to provide a positive identification; given the many years since the project ended, it is not surprising that no material can be located.
Project Mogul was flying instruments from Alamogordo Army Air Field (now Holloman Air Force Base) whose purpose was classified top secret.
Some of the witness testimony is consistent with material from Mogul balloon material, such as the alleged use of a purplish-pink tape with symbols on it to hold the assembly together.
