Correspondence regarding flying saucers and information request
AI-Generated Summary
A 1953 letter from Philip G. Strong to Dr. Samuel A. Goudsmit discussing the provision of information regarding flying saucers and a reference to Ted Nordbeck's assistance.
This document is a letter dated August 19, 1953, written by Philip G. Strong to Dr. Samuel A. Goudsmit at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. The correspondence acknowledges receipt of a letter from Dr. Goudsmit dated August 14 regarding the topic of flying saucers. Strong expresses his opinion that a reply previously sent by Dr. Goudsmit to a Mr. Kirsch was appropriate for the context. Additionally, Strong mentions that Ted Nordbeck had provided all available material regarding 'Jung' (likely a reference to Carl Jung, though the text only says 'Jung'), and apologizes for the delay in obtaining this information, noting that his staff had difficulty 'prying the information loose.' The document includes handwritten annotations at the bottom, one of which reads 'Unconventional Aircraft' and another that appears to read 'C/ASD has seen'.
I am sorry it took so long but my people apparently had difficulty prying the information loose.
