The
Background:
Project Mogul (sometimes referred to as
Operation Mogul) was a
Top Secret project implemented by the
US Army Air Forces under Dr.
Maurice Ewing, involving disk shaped 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 The project was moderately successful, but was very expensive and was superseded by a network of seismic detectors and air sampling for fallout which were cheaper, more reliable, and easier to deploy and operate.
Wreckage said by the
Air Force to be consistent with launch number four was found 75 miles northwest of

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. (

The
1995 USAF release of The Roswell
Report also states: "
...MOGUL's objective was to develop a long-range sustem capable of detecting
Soviet nuclear detonations and ballisti missile launches". This then constitutes the first ballistic missile defense strategic detection system.
