Operation High Dive

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Operation High Dive was a top secret project carried out during the 1950's by the USAF. It was designed to test high altitude parachutes using anthropomorphic dummies.The Dummins were dropped in order to find the results of a high alitude parachute drop. The Dummins quickly went into a 200 rpm flat spin, which would be fatal. Therefore it was followed by Project Excelsior. It may later have been confused with Project Mogul and thus helped form the account of the Roswell UFO Incident.
