Moseley obviously knows very little about Roswell. Bessy Brazel Schreiber eventually recanted much of her testimony, saying she was probably confusing memories with some other event. Her debris descriptions never did match up well with the alleged "Flight #4", which never existed. Her testimony also conflicted on many points with other witnesses, such as her older brother Bill Brazel, who said she wasn't there, and whose anomalous debris descriptions and descriptions of the large size of the debris field matched up almost exactly with Roswell intel officer Major Jesse Marcel even though the two men did not know one another. There were also many other witnesses to the strange debris and large debris field, all inconsistent with the Mogul theory. (Even Roswell intel officer Jesse Marcel clear back in 1947 was quoted by AP saying the debris was scattered over a "square mile.")
Rancher Mack Brazel also totally recanted his balloon testimony right after giving it in his press interview, saying he had previously found two weather balloons on his property and what he found didn't resemble these in any way. But there was zero difference between the weather balloons/radar targets of the early Moguls and standard off-the-shelf meteorological balloons/radar targets. None of the materials were exotic in any way (quite the contrary), certainly not enough to get Brazel or the military worked up, and certainly just about impossible to confuse with the widely reported flying saucers, which were supposed to be large, metallic aircraft that flew at high speed.
To believe that various officers at Roswell could make such a boneheaded mistake and compound it further by issuing a press release that they had a real flying disc in their possession is to believe that the base was staffed by nothing but drooling idiots. Had they really been so incompetent or stupid, we also would have seen it reflected in their subsequent careers, which should have gone into a nose dive. Quite the contrary happened. Col. Blanchard, e.g., became a full general and Vice USAF Chief of Staff. Marcel got high praise afterward from senior officers involved, a promotion, a highly sensitive top-secret intelligence position in Washington, etc.
Numerous witnesses place Brazel Sr. in military custody, including son Bill and Roswell provost marshal William Easley, who admitted they held him at the base under armed guard for several days (over mundane weather balloon debris?). A very simple explanation for Brazel's initial balloon story (and also Bessy Brazel's "flower tape") is Brazel being coached in what to say while being held by the military, which might include showing him a radar target to describe. So that may be where "flower tape" came from, perhaps picked up by Bessy Brazel from reading newspaper stories about her Dad's interview or being given to her later by her father, but not witnessed personally by her.
Brazel's story is also notable in what he did NOT say he found. He NEVER described anything that would clearly link the debris to Mogul, such as ballast, altitude control equipment, parachutes, launch rings, sonobuoy, radiosonde, batteries, etc. Especially notable was the complete absence of any twine or string, of which there should have been hundreds of yards. In fact, Brazel specifically denied finding anything like that. Where did it go? (The Air Force realized the absence of string/twine was a serious problem, asked Mogul engineer Charles Moore about it, and when he couldn't provide an explanation, they deliberately dropped the issue. You won't find this serious inconsistency with the Mogul theory brought up again in their debunking report. I wonder why?)
Brazel's weather-balloon/not-weather-balloon press conference was held several hours after Gen. Ramey in Fort Worth had already put out the official singular weather balloon/radar target "explanation." (Thus plenty of time to coach/coerce Brazel after rounding him up.) Ramey displayed exactly what he said it was. There was only a single radar target and single weather balloon in the Fort Worth photos, not multiple balloons and targets as would be expected from a real Mogul recovery. And again there was no evidence of any Mogul equipment that would have linked the debris to a real Mogul. Ramey also denied anything additional being found. Again notable in its absence was any string or twine, as would be expected from a real Mogul or even a real flown weather balloon with radar target attached. (There is various circumstantial evidence in the photos, such as the absence of string and totally pristine clean target, that this was fresh target taken from a box and broken/torn up for the photo shoot, i.e., not what was found at Roswell.)
Additionally, I have often thrown down the challenge to Roswell skeptics to point out the Bessy Brazel/Mack Brazel "flower tape" in the photos there since it should be clearly visible, if this indeed was what was found at Roswell and described by Brazel. But nobody has ever been able to find it, including the USAF in 1994 who employed some unnamed high level photoanalysis lab to examine the photos for exactly that. Where did it go?
In reality, there were no unaccounted for Moguls, certainly no Flight #4, which the USAF counterintelligence debunkers (a unit of AFOSI at the Pentagon) claimed accounted for Roswell. Mogul documents and official flight histories of NASA and the USAF instead list Flight #5 as being the first N.M. Mogul flight, not the fictitious #4, which instead was clearly canceled the previous day because of cloudy weather. The USAF and Mogul engineer Charles Moore made up the balloon flight to try to "explain" Roswell, just like they did with Flights #2 & #3, two other flights clearly documented as never having flown, but brought back from the dead by the USAF and Moore to try to make a case for Mogul explaining Roswell.
Bottom line is a nonexistent, fabricated balloon flight cannot possibly explain anything. Mogul is nothing but a slightly dressed up version of the original Ramey singular weather balloon/radar target cover story. Later both Marcel and Ramey's chief of staff Brig. Gen. Thomas Dubose (also pictured in the Fort Worth photos) confirmed the balloon debris in the photos was nothing but a cover story to get rid of the press. You can read various Gen. Dubose comments about the coverup here:
