NW 90290 DocId:34714592 Page 9 [PAGE 10] [Continuation of narrative account, describing the wartime incident]: A guard appeared and talked briefly with the German driving the tractor, who waited five to ten minutes, after which the noise stopped and the tractor engine was restarted normally. Approximately [some] hours later, in the same wooded area, a short distance away from the road where the work crew was cutting [timber], he surreptitiously — because of the German in charge of the crew and SS guards patrolling the otherwise deserted area — observed a circular enclosure approximately 100 to 125 yards in diameter, protected from viewers by a tarpaulin-type wall approximately 50 feet high, from which a vehicle seemed 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 circumference of the vehicle as 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. Insulated 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 [installations] 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 30 years of age and presumed by Krasuski to have returned to Poland after 1945.

Interview of WLADISLAW aka WALTER KRASUSKI, reported in [prior report], copies of which are enclosed herewith for the Bureau, was conducted by [agent]. No indication of irrational or otherwise abnormal behavior by KRASUSKI was observed during the interview. KRASUSKI advised that his communication was directed to Mr. 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, née [surname illegible], married in 1952 at Detroit, and four small children, in a single residence in an old Polish neighborhood at [address] Campau Avenue, Detroit. No previous record located in Detroit indices identifiable with KRASUSKI or his wife. On 11/7/57, WILLIAM RECINAGKL, Manager, advised SA PAUL DESMOND that records of the Mich. Merchants Credit Association reflect only credit inquiries concerning WALTER KRASUSKI during 6/56 and [illegible] and 6/57, which contain his local address and employment.
