TO : Deputy Assistant Director, Collection, SI DATE: 26 January 1960 FROM : Chief, Applied Science Division, SI SUBJECT: Flying Saucers--Student Papers Thereon Received from Dr. Thorton Page 1. The following comments are submitted for your information and use in replying to Dr. Page. The students' papers are returned herewith. 2. These student papers are in many respects interesting and most of them reflect a solid intellectual attempt to evaluate the evidence. The problem apparently remains a stimulating one, and especially suitable for exercising the rational powers of minds both young and old. most of the students have done a good job in seperating subjective views from objective reporting. It seems significant that no essentially new substantiating evidence emerged from this exercise. W. E. ??XOW Enclosures: 14 essays XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
