James Tuck Correspondence, 1970s

This U.S. Department of Energy release collects 1970s correspondence connected to Los Alamos physicist James L. Tuck. 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.

From the source:Release of 2026-05-22 Released with redactions. Personal correspondence to and from James Tuck, a Los Alamos National Laboratory-affiliated physicist, regarding his interest in unidentified anomalous phenomena circa 1970s.

Dear Jim:

Mindful of your interesting report on ball lightning, I am enclosing comments on same by a UFO believer, James M. McCampbell, in his UFOLOGY, 1976, appearing on the new non-fiction shelf at the Mesa Library, call number 629.1338

M125u.

His chapter FLIGHT AND PROPULSION strengthens my conviction that Einstein, while seemingly straying from the main current of physical research in his later years, was on scent like a bloodhound when he persisted in trying to lock in on a unified field theory.

Re.ards,
