Summary

After Wladyslaw Krasuski wrote to presidential assistant Robert Cutler that he "might have some information about the rocket in Texas," the FBI Director ordered an immediate interview. Krasuski, brought to Gut Alt Golssen as a prisoner of war in 1942, said that in 1944 his work crew's tractor engine stalled on a swamp road as a high-pitched whine was heard, and that he then saw a vehicle rise vertically from a circular enclosure (100 to 150 yards) screened by a tarpaulin-type wall about 50 feet high, in an area with "SS" guards. He described it, observed from about 500 feet, as circular, 75 to 100 yards in diameter, and about 14 feet high before it moved slowly away horizontally.
