Robert C utler, Special Assistant to President Dwight D. Eisenhower,reflecting that he "might have some information about the rocket in Texas," Wladyslaw Krasuski, 5457 Joseph C ampau, Detroit, was interviewed N ovember 7, 1957, and furnished the following information: Born I_______________J-±rr^the ;State of______________£ Krasuski was brought from Poland as a Prisoner of War to Gut Alt Golssen,approximately 30 miles east of Berlin, Germany, in M ay, 1942, where he remained until a few weeks after the end of World War II. He spent the following years at Displaced Persons C amps at Kork, Strasburg, O ffenburg, M ilheim and Freiburg, Germany. He attended a radio technician school at Freiburg and for about a year was employed in a textile mill at Laurachbaden, Germany. He arrived in the United States at N ew York, M ay 2, 1951, via the "S.S. General Stewart" as a Displaced Person, destined to the Reverend Father Petro Walkowiak, Hamtramck, M ichigan; his alien registration number * Since M ay, 1951, he has been employed at the Gobel Brewery, Detroit. N ews report of mysterious vehicle in Texas causing engines to stall prompted him to communicate with the United States Government concerning a similar phenomenon observed by him in 1944 in the area of Gut Alt Golssen. According to Krasuski, during 1944, month not recalled, while enroute to work in a field a short distance north of Gut Alt Golssen, their tractor engine stalled on a road through a swamp area. N o machinery or other vehicle was then visible although a noise was heard described as a high-pitched whine similar to that produced by a large electric generator.

Approximately 3 hours later in the same swamp area, but away from the road where toe work crew was cutting ’’haf, he surreptitiously, because of the German in charge of the crew and ?’^R guaras in the otherwise deserted p t area, observed a circular enclosure approximately 100 to 150 yards in diameter protected from viewers by a tarpaulin* z type wall approximately 50 feet hijp froa which a vehicle was observed to slowly rise vertically to a heigl.it sufficient to clear the wall and then to move slowly horizontally a short distance out of his view, which was obstructed by nearby to p \ f This vehicle, observed from approximately • ’ 500 foot, was ueccribed as circular in shape, 75 to 100 ■ ; yards in diameter, and about 14 feto high, consisting of f dark gray stationary top and bottom sections, five to six feet high* The approximate three foot middle section appeared ’ to be a rapidly moving component producing a continuous blur p h fix ox similar to an aeroplane propeller, tot extending toe cir- cumferance ox the vehicle so far as could be observed# The noise emanating from the vehicle was similar” but of somewhat lower pitch than the noise previously heard. The engine of the tractor again stalled on this occasion and no effort was made by the German driver to btart the engine until the noise stopped, after mica the engine started normally. Uninsulated metal, possibly copper, cades one and one-half* inch to two incnes in diameter, on and under toe surface of the ground, in sone places covered by water, were observed on thio ana previous occasions, apparently running between toe enclosure ana a small concrete column-like structure between the road and enclosure. This ax-ea was not visited by hrususki again until shortly after the end of torld tar 11, when it was observed the ca&les had been removed ant the previous locations of the concrete structure am. toe enclosure were covered by water# krasuski stated he has not been in communication since 1945 with any of toe work crew of 16 or IB sen, consisting of fussiarg Frencn ma lolil tom, who hat discussed tills incident ammr, toemselves many times.
