Project Manhigh along with Project Excelsior was a pre-Space Age military project that took men in balloons to the upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere.

Project Mogul (sometimes referred to as Operation Mogul) was a top secret project by the US Army Air Forces involving microphones flown on high altitude balloons, whose primary purpose was long-distance detection of sound waves generated by Soviet atomic bomb tests. The project was carried out from 1947 until early 1949. The project was moderately successful, but was very expensive and was superseded by a network of seismic detectors and air sampling for fallout which were cheaper, more reliable, and easier to deploy and operate.

Project Mogul was conceived by Dr. Maurice Ewing who had earlier researched the deep sound channel in the oceans and theorized that a similar sound channel existed in the upper atmosphere: a certain height where the air pressure and temperature result in minimal speed of sound, so that sound waves would propagate and stay in that channel due to refraction. The project involved arrays of balloons carrying disc microphones and radio transmitters to relay the signals to the ground. It was supervised by Dr. James Peoples, who was assisted by Dr. Albert P. Crary.

One of the requirements of the balloons was that they maintain a relatively constant altitude over a prolonged period of time. (See aerostat.) Thus instrumentation had to be developed to maintain such constant altitudes, such as pressure sensors controlling the release of ballast.

The early Mogul balloons consisted of large clusters of rubber meteorological balloons. However, these were quickly replaced by enormous balloons made of polyethylene plastic. These were more durable, leaked less helium, and also were better at maintaining a constant altitude than the early rubber balloons. Constant altitude control and polyethylene balloons were the two major innovations of Project Mogul.

Project Mogul was the forerunner of the Skyhook balloon program, which started in the late 1940s, as well as another espionage program involving overflights and photo-surveillance of the Soviet Union in the early 1950s, called Project Moby Dick. The latter raised storms of protest from the Soviets. The balloons were also used for cosmic ray experiments.

In 1994/5, the Air Force published a report which concluded that Mogul Flight #4, launched from Alamogordo, New Mexico, on June 4, 1947, was what crashed near Roswell, New Mexico, and formed the source of the debris which sparked the Roswell UFO Incident.

@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke they were casually calling it the 'flying disc' project on the base, short for flying disc microphones. It was highly classified and an army representative got in big trouble for letting the 'flying disc' project psuedoname slip to the media, and the army made the media change the headlines, an obvious lie and cover-up which started the suspicion of aliens, along with the 'flying disc' mix up

[HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke]

@Misstorys It was a nuclear test site locating invention, they were floating microphones from huge balloons up in a special part of the upper atmosphere called the sound channel, where sound carries really far, all around the world. With microphones up there at 3 places around the world, by the timing by which each hear the echoes of the mushroom cloud hitting the sound channel, they could triangulate where the soviets were testing the bomb (reference? youtube 'physics 10 episode waves 1')

@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke No not THE balloon, there was NO balloon at Roswell case. A mogul balloon train indeed has microphones to detect missile launches I believe. The balloon debris was switched with the original debris to cover the real story and it worked.

[HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke]

@Misstorys the balloon was carrying flying 'disc microphones'

how can people be so gullible to believe the government's load of shit. wake up, guys, the government is NOT God.

[onthejohnjohn]

i wanted a sci-fi fantasy story created by oddball and crazies, with a paranoid conspiracies subplot. oh well.

@noirkitten

Are you a skeptic or a debunker? The reason why I ask is becuase if you actually took the time to research the Project Mogul explanation it falls apart. So that means that it likely wasn't a Project Mogul baloon. Does this mean it was a spaceship? No it doesn't. What it does mean is that we are still being given the run around by the military.

@Misstorys, that's what i was getting at. they did do balloons, but what happened near roswell was something else altogether. this vid is propaganda

[Misstorys]

@worldwidedownload Not very sensible..

[Misstorys]

@regjoe30 No ballon in Roswell incident.. was flying disc. 100 sure about it. no mysterie
