DOE-UAP-D002, James Tuck Correspondence, 1970s
Personal 1970s correspondence to and from James L. Tuck, a Los Alamos-affiliated physicist, discussing atmospheric vortices, UFO literature, and unified field theory.
This Department of Energy release reproduces letters connected to physicist James L. Tuck circa the 1970s. One letter, addressed to the U.S. Army Engineer School at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, requests the recipe used for simulated atomic-bomb demonstrations and cites interest in 'large atmospheric vortices' as reported in Edward U. Condon's 'Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects.' A second letter, dated November 28, encloses commentary on ball lightning drawn from James M. McCampbell's 1976 book 'UFOLOGY' and praises Einstein's pursuit of a unified field theory. Correspondent names are redacted under (b)(6); the file is unclassified on release.
