Project Mogul
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
Roswell UFO incident.
