Gut Alt Golssen enclosure vehicle sighting, Germany

Wladyslaw Krasuski, a Detroit brewery worker, wrote to Robert Cutler, special assistant to the President, on November 4, 1957, saying he might have information about "the rocket in Texas". He said he had heard about it on a Polish radio program. On November 6 the FBI Director sent a teletype ordering the Detroit office to interview him immediately.

Special Agent Cassius Rathbun interviewed him on November 7. The Detroit report says Krasuski was brought from Poland as a prisoner of war to Gut Alt Golssen, about 30 miles east of Berlin, in May 1942. It says a news report of a vehicle in Texas stalling engines prompted him to write. He placed the events in 1944 and did not recall the month. His tractor engine stalled on a road through a swamp while a high-pitched whine was heard.

According to the report, about three hours later he saw a circular enclosure with a tarpaulin-type wall about 50 feet high. A vehicle rose vertically, cleared the wall and moved slowly out of his view. He put the distance at about 500 feet. He described it as 75 to 100 yards across and about 14 feet high, with a rapidly moving middle section. The tractor stalled again. He also reported uninsulated cables running to a concrete structure. After the war he found the cables gone and the site under water. He named one crew member, Franciszek Grabowski, whom he presumed had returned to Poland.

The Detroit office teletyped a summary to the Director on November 7 and sent an airtel noting no sign of irrational behavior. A credit association's records confirmed his address and employment. On November 8 Hoover wrote to the National Security Council with the account and said Krasuski spoke rationally. Copies went to the State Department, CIA, Army, Navy, Air Force and the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The documents give no conclusion and no explanation of what he described.
