By the way, here’s his recollection of Flight #4 for reference…
I think that Flight #4 was the flight that was launched out of Alamogordo on June 4, 1947. This is based on Dr. Crary’s actual diary of the launch and other events. This is also one of those events where we went to multiple radar targets because we were not having good success with single targets. This flight was with multiple balloons and targets and may have had a sonobouy (black box?).
That’s good enough for me… then again my beliefs don’t hinge on this case
That's a good one. I have Dr. Crary's diary and it is in his diary where it states that Mogul balloon train # 4's flight was cancelled on June 4, 1947. It also states that Mogul balloon flight for June 3, 1947 was cancelled due to clouds, same as for the cancellation for Mogul balloon train # 4 and that, according to Dr.Crary's diary.
And, once again, a clear indication why there are no flight records for that balloon train because it was cancelled. Sorry, but the Air Force duped the public on Project Mogul and the lack of any flight data records for balloon train # 4 are that proof.

Mr. C. J. Stock, Secretary
New York Subcommittee on Air Space
365 Madison Avenue
New York 17, N. Y.
Reference: New York Meeting No. 12 Subject No. 26, New York Case #X6
Dear Sir:
Receipt of the minutes of the above meeting are acknowledged with thanks.
However, on reading them, a discrepancy was noted. We believe the weather
conditions agreed upon for Phase 2 operations were not a cloudless sky, but
no ceiling under 20,000 ft.
We realize that there might be occasions &en the clouds present would
not constitute a ceiling. Yet, due to chaotic or unstable sky conditions,
our balloons might be considered an unseen hazard to aircraft.
It is therefore requested that we be permitted to fly these rapidly
rising, high altitude balloons after obtaining clearance on days
when there are no more than scattered clouds in thin layers up to
20,000 ft. and visibility greater than three miles.
Thia is an important point, as the phenomena which we hope to measure
is not a frequent one and our chances to investigate the remote phenomena
are markedly reduced if we have to wait for cloudless skies and the phenomena
to coincide.
This would have been brought to your attention earlier. However, we are
unable. until yesterday, to confirm our impressions with the representatives
of the Army Air Forces who were present at the meeting.
Yours very truly,
C. S. Schneider
Research Assistant

Attention: Mr. C. S. Schneider, Research Assistant
Mr. Schneider
This is in reply to your letter of April 17th.
It is true that at N.Y. Airspace Subcommittee Meeting # 12. We advised
you that the Phase II operations would be restricted to weather conditions
in which the sky was clear of clouds below 20,000 feet and th, visibility
at least three miles at all altitudes up to and including 2O,C00 ft. However,
it was indicated that these conditions were subject to concurrence and approval
by the Washington Airspace Subcommittee.
In order to expedite final approval of this case, coordination was effected
with the Washington Airspace Subcommittee immediately subsequent to our Meeting # 12. It was related as a result of such coordination that the
Washington Committee felt that the ceiling restriction was inadequate in
the interests of air safety and required that a cloudless sky condition be
specified.
This information was relayed to the members of the N.Y. Airspace Subcommittee
and they in turn concurred with this amendment in the interest of air safety.
The minutes of New York Meeting #12 were amended accordingly.
Yours very truly,
C. J. Stoek
Secretary, N. Y. Airspace Subcommittee
June 5 Thurs. Up at 4 to shoot 2 charges for balloon flight. Whole assembly of constant-altitude balloons set up at 0500. Fired charges at 0537 and 0552, then soon buzzed by plane to return. Receiver at plane did not work at all. Ground receiver worked for a short time but did not receive explosions. B-17 and most of personnel out to Roswell - recovered equipment some 25 mi east of Roswell.

skyeagle409,
I agree that the MOGUL Balloon trains were cancelled according to Dr. Crary's Diary.
I’m not surprised you agree. I'm curious, did you two meet on the Uplink forum at Space.com?

What it is, more people, including some skeptics have found that there was never a Mogul balloon # 4 launched on June 4, 1947. Check it out from this skeptic. Remember, this is from a Roswell skeptic.

Mogul 4 That Never Was - Bourdais
"My opinion is that it is no smoking gun at all, because: first,
there was no Mogul 4 launching, according to Crary;...Geophysicist Albert Crary noted in his diary for June 4:
***************************************************
["no balloon flight again on account of clouds. Flew regular
sonobuoy mike up in cluster of balloons."]
***************************************************
"The problem is to explain Brazel's finding without Mogul 4. My point
is that it is fairly easy to explain it, and that the whole
Mogul 4 story is dead for good."

[First of all, the “story” ended in 1947... it was pretty much forgotten about by all involved.
I was the Project Engineer for the NYU balloon project during the 1947 time frame. I was not aware that the project had the name MOGUL until 1992 when I was contacted by an individual who was working on some research related to the “Roswell Incident” and the relationship to the NYU balloon project.

lost_shaman,
In my opinion, and that of others outside of ATS, his childish behavior which you have encouraged and which has been allowed to continue has lowered the overall standard of quality discussion to be expected here in this forum and could adversely affect future participation.
If you’re not interested in continuing this debate that is fine with me but be aware that as a result of your inaction I will have lost all respect for you.

I don't have the time or patience to go back and count how many times they've repeated "there was no Flight #4" since then.... 10, 20? Tell me again why this is acceptable behavior? Just because they don't agree with what I presented doesn't mean they have the right to be disruptive does it? After all this is MY thread right?

Who's attacking who here?

No, until now you've been saying there was no Flight #4
Moore is the undeniable expert on this subject. It was his project and he was there so his opinion is the only one that really matters, especially in a court of law.
If you want to argue about this I honestly don't have the time or inclination so I suggest you take it up with Printy and let us know how that works out for you...
On June 4, 1947, Flight 4 was launched, and tracked as far as Arabela, New Mexico, only 17 miles from the location of the debris field on the Foster ranch. Flight 4 was still aloft when the batteries ran down, and contact was lost.
Recently, Charles Moore has developed a brand-new line of evidence even further supporting a link between the Roswell Incident and Project Mogul. UFO researcher Kevin Randle recently provided Moore with National Weather Service wind data for early June 1947.
When Moore used the Weather Service wind data and NYU altitude information to simulate the probable paths of the flights with recorded ground tracks (Flights 5 and 6), his results agreed quite reasonably with the measured balloon paths—Flight 5 drifted mainly to the east, landing near Roswell, while Flight 6 took a more southwesterly route. Moore then extended his analysis to Flight 4, the Roswell candidate. He used the wind data for June 4, 1947, and assumed the flight reached altitudes comparable to those of the subsequent two flights (which were made with very similar balloon trains).

1. A balloon train with radar reflective targets and a radiosonde was launched on June 4th, 1947 by Project Mogul personnel therefore this flight was a "Mogul Flight" even if no data from it was recorded in the NYU reports.
2. The "Mogul Flight" on June 4th, 1947 occurred after Mogul Flight #3 and before Mogul Flight #5 and there were no other flights between them so therefore this flight was "Mogul Flight #4".
3. The fact that Dr. Crary's journal entry does not specifically state that the balloon train launched on June 4th, 1947 carried radar targets is insufficient evidence to disprove Dr. Moore's statement that it did because not every flight recorded in Dr. Crary's journal listed everything that was carried on them therefore it’s inconclusive.
