UNIDENTIFIED FLYING 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:
FOIA(b)(6)
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, Germany. 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, Hamtramck, Michigan; his alien registration number -
(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 visible
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 from 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 vehicle
was observed to slowly rise vertically to a height sufficient
to clear the wall and then to move slowly horizontally a
short distance out of his view, which was obstructed by
nearby trees.
This vehicle, observed from approximately
500 feet, was described as circular in shape, 75 to 100
yards in diameter, and about 14 feet high, consisting of
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
similar to an aeroplane propeller, but extending the cir-
cumferance of 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 start the engine until the
noise stopped, after which the engine started normally.
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 water, were observed on this and previous occasions,
apparently running between the enclosure and a small
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 removed 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 Russian, French and Polish POWs,
who had discussed this incident among themselves many times.
However, of these, Krasuski was able to recall by name
only Franciszek Grabowski, no address known, described as
then about 50 years of age and presumed by Krasuski to have
returned to Poland after 1945.

Re Detroit Teletype to Bureau, 11/7/57, captioned "UNIDENTIFIED
FLYING OBJECTS; IS - X."
Interview of WLADYSLAW KRASUSKI, aka. WALTER KRASUSKI,
reported in Blank Memo, five copies of which are enclosed
herewith for the Bureau, was conducted by SA CASSIUS RATHBUN.
No indication of irrational or otherwise abnormal behavior
by KRASUSKI was observed during the interview.
KRASUSKI advised that his communication was directed to Mr.
ROBERT CUTLER rather than to President EISENHOWER after
seeing Mr. CUTLER's picture and identification with the
President's Office in a local paper.
KRASUSKI resides with his wife, nee JOANN WISNIEWSKI,
married in 1952 at Detroit, and four small children, in a
single residence in an old Polish neighborhood at 5457 Jos.
Campau Avenue, Detroit. No previous record located in Detroit
Indices identifiable with KRASUSKI or his wife.
On 11/7/57, WILLIAM RECKNAGEL, Manager, advised IC PAUL DESMOND
that records of the Mich. Merchants Credit Association, reflect
only credit inquiries concerning WALTER KRASUSKI during 6/56
and 3/57 and 6/57, which confirm his local address and employment.
