CIA asks to review UFO papers

Summary

In November 1959, a scientist from Wesleyan University sent student papers on UFOs to a government official. The letter shows interest in analyzing these documents, but with discretion. The CIA or a similar agency requested to see them, but was asked not to reveal their identity. It mentions that the papers would be reviewed by part of the national defense establishment. The communication is formal and careful, reflecting the sensitivity of the topic.

The recipient's reply expresses gratitude and follows the instructions to keep the information confidential. Although it is not specified what they will do with the papers, it is clear that their content was considered relevant to national security. This exchange shows how, even in academia, UFO topics were handled with caution and closely linked to authorities.
