Thanks very much for this.

I'll look it up.

PS. you may want to see our recent exchanges with US UFO investigators on the Toronto based ufo updates service. (Their server is down at present but messges can be seen at
http://www.virtuallystrange.net/ufo/updates/) This is actually a very good service although the volume of mail does tend to clog up the mailbox.

PPS watch out for a piece we've spotted by a UK based academic which mentions PRF. We're seeking permission to put a link through to our site soon

Also - if you have come through to this page via the 'psychic towers route, try putting www.psychic-research.org.uk in searcg engine - ur revamped site with details of the new survey in Bristol UK.

Thanks for this.

PB
