One letter recalls several green light sightings at Los Alamos between 1948 and 1951, plus five objects flying in formation, all reported to the Protective Force. In another letter, Tuck asks the U.S. Army Engineering School for the recipe used in simulated atomic bomb demonstrations, citing the Condon study's account of atmospheric vortices. A third letter sends Tuck comments on ball lightning from a 1976 book by James McCampbell.
