ALL INFORMATION CONTALNED
UNIDENTIFILD PLYING OBJECTS
In response to a letter directed by him to Mr.
Robert Cutler, Special Assistant to President Dwight D.
Eisenhower, reflecting that he "might have some information
about the rocket in Texas," Wladyslaw Krasuski, 5457
Joseph Campau, Detroit, was interviewed November 7, 1957,
and furnished the following information:
Born
in 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 May, 1942, where he remained until a few weeks after the
end of World War II. He spent the following years at
Displaced Persons Camps at Kork, Strasburg, Offenburg, Milheim
and Freiburg, Germany. He attended a radio technician school
at Freiburg and for about a year was employed in a textile
mill at Laurachbaden, Germanyโข
He arrived in the United
States at New York, May 2, 1951, via the "S.S. General Stewart"
as a Displaced Person, destined to the Reverend Father Petro
Walkowiak, Hamtranck, Michigan; his alien registration number -
FOIA(b) (6)
Since May, 1951, he has been employed at the Gobel
Brewery, Detroit.
News 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.
No machinery or other vehicle was then v1810.lโฌ
although a noise was heard described as a high-pitched whine
similar to that produced by a large electric generator.

An "SS" guard appeared and talked briefly with the German
driver of the tractor, who waited five to ten minutes,
after which the noise stopped and the tractor engine was
started normally. Approximately 3 hours later in the same
swamp area, but away fron the road where the work crew was
cutting "hay", he surreptitiously, because of the German
in charge of the crew and "SS" guards in the otherwise deserted
area, observed a circular enclosure approximately 100 to
150 yards in diameter protected from viewers by a tarpaulin-
type wall approximately 50 feet high, from which a vehlele
was observed to slowly rise vertically to a height sufficient
to clear the wall and then to nove slowly horizontally a
short distance out of his view, waich was obacructea Dy
nearby trees.
This vehicle, observed from approximately
500 feet, was deseribed as circular in shape, 75 to 100
yards in dianeter, and about l4 feet high, consisting of
dark gray stationary top and botton sections, five to six
feet high.
The approximate three foot middle section appeared
to be a rapidly moving component producing a continuous blur
similar to an aeroplane propeller, but extending the cir-
cunterance of the vehicle so far as could be observed. The
noise emanating from the vehicle was sinilar but of sonewhat
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 start the engine until the
noise stopped, after which the engine started norally.
Uninsulated metal, possibly copper,
cables one and one-half. inch to two inches in diameter, on
and under the surface of the ground, in some places covered
by wacer, were observed on this and
previous occasions,
apparently running between the enclosure and a saal.
concrete column-like structure between the road and enclosure.
This area was not visited by Krasuski
again until shortly after the end of World War II, when it
was observed the cables had been renoved and the previous
Locations of the concrete structure and the enclosure were
covered by water.
Krasuski stated he has not been in
communication since 1945 with any of the work crew of 16
or 18 men, consisting of lussian, French and Polish POWs,
who had discussed this incident among themselves many times.
However, of these, Krasuski was able to recall by name
onLy Francissek Grabowski, no address known, described
then about 50 years of age and presumed by krasuse, to Bave
returned to Poland after 1945-
