I was watching National Geographic on the Roswell incident a short time ago and it was rather a lame presentation to say the least. It goes to show that the authors of that program need to do their homework because the program suggested that a top secret Mogul balloon train was reponsible for the Roswell incident. It also said on the program that a Mogul balloon train was launched on June 4, 1947 but it was lost shortly afterwards in the clouds.
Had the folks at National Geographic done it's homework, it would have found that the Mogul balloon themselves were not classified objects at all and there was a stipulation between the CAA, now known as the FAA, and the Mogul balloon teams, the no Mogul balloon train would be launched on cloudy days because they presented a safety-of-flight hazard to aircraft. To further add, had the National Geographic done its homework, it would have found that there were no Mogul balloon flight on June 4, 1947 and in fact, records show that there are no flight records for any Mogul balloon train on June 4, 1947. This is what a downed Mogul balloon train looks like. It is rather difficult to understand how anyone could have confused all of those balloons as a downed flying saucer.

Those balloons were recovered by civilians, which is another thing the Air Force never told the public, and that is, that occasionally, Mogul balloons were recovered by ordinary civilians. Mogul balloons had these items attached.
*
Reward tags for civilians recovering any Mogul balloons.
*
Questionaires for civilians to add their imput as to the time, location and rate of decent of the Mogul balloons.
*
Numerous***WARNING*** labels attached because of the hazardous materials within some of the equipment.
*
Identification tags identifying the equipment as government property
*
Serial numbers on the equipment
*
Numerical dials on the equipment
*
Lettering on the equipment in englishSo once again, I find it difficult of how anyone could confuse a Mogul balloon train as a downed flying saucer with all of those recognizable items attached, so how in the world, or out of it, could military personnel from the world's only nuclear-capable bomber group have mistaken these balloons as a flying saucer?

Here is a lilst of other equipment carried aloft on Mogul balloon trains.
* Dribblers
* Parachutes
* Ballast tubes
* Radiosode
* Sono Buoy
* Equipment gauges
* 17.5 Mogul balloon payload.
* Braided lines
* 28 balloons of various sizes
None of the equipment listed above were ever recovered on the Foster ranch.
The Air Force never told the public that recovery of Mogul balloon trains were of low priority, which is not indicative of the way we would handle top secret equipment. Rancher, Sid West, recovered a downed Mogul balloon train in New Mexico and it wasn't until the next day that two people were sent to recover the equipment. A policeman at Flat Bush, New Jersey had recovered a downed Mogul balloon train that snagged itself on the roof of a tavern. Another Mogul balloon train was left lying next to a roadway where it was vandalized because no one came to recover the contraption. Yet another Mogul balloon train was about to be recovered by an oil drilling team east of Roswell before they were buzzed by a B-17.
According to Mogul balloon records, the Mogul balloon flight the Air Force attributed to the Roswell incident, was cancelled due to clouds and never flown, which simply is the reason why investigators can find no flight records pertaining to Project Mogul balloon train #4.
To sum it all up, the Air Force dupped the public again in 1994 by implying that Project Mogul balloon train #4 was responsible for the Roswell incident when no such flight ever took place, and the amazing thing about it, is that the Air Force knew that there were no Project Mogul balloon flight #4 launched on June 4, 1947, so in that regard, the Air Force's Rosewell 'cover-up band' plays on.
