CIA UFO Documents

Summary

In December 1959, the CIA received a letter addressed to Dr. Thornton Page, an astronomer at Wesleyan University. The document mentions the receipt of four articles or reports sent to him, and it notes that Dr. Gass Strong had left instructions regarding the material. Although partially illegible due to OCR errors, the letter suggests a collaboration between the CIA and scientists in the study of unidentified aerial phenomena. The intention was to return the materials and provide comments, indicating institutional interest in UFO-related topics. This kind of exchange reflects how, in the 1950s, authorities and the scientific community worked together to investigate phenomena that remain mysterious to this day.
