  No doubt.  My information was taken from an early draft Barry
Greenwood was working on:  a bibliography of UFO related articles in
popular magazines and scholarly journals. (Wish he'd use a computer data
base.)  Since the draft was written, he has gone to a more useful and
accurate method of recording and filing entries.  I do not have access to
the new material which is a work in progress.

   Of course any assistance would be welcome.  Most national US
magazines and larger scientific journals are completed.  This leave
smaller scientific journal, regional magazines, corporate magazines,
items which are not likely to be indexed (ie men's magazines), etc.

   One magazine that is hard to local, PATHFINDER, a news magazine in the
1940-50s, also apparently has no index.  The magazine I inquired about,
SOUTHERN WINGS, is also difficult to locate.  Although, one contributor
to Project 1947 has found an interlibrary loan source in Dallas.

   In the 19th century many communities had "Scientific Associations" and
published "natural philosophy journals" some of which contained anomalous
events.  These are also most interesting.  In many cases the only copies
that exist are in libraries or small historical societies.  Ditto, small
regional folklore magazines.

   Canadian and foreign magazines and journals are also incomplete.
Assistance in locating these publications would also be welcome.
Canadian indices to publication list one or articles prior to 1959.  The
indices are obviously incomplete.  Publications from the UK and Ireland
and literature in languages other than English is also lacking.

   The goal of Greenwood's efforts is to have a copy of each item in the
bibliography as a reference set.  Eventually, and hopefully, these will
be microfilmed or recorded on CD-rom.  (No doubt there will be giant
copyright problems here.)
