During the brief interviews that he took part in, Sturrock also indicated that we know much more about some natural phenomenon that might be interpreted as "unknowns", and mentioned one of the photographs they had examined as possibly being the result of such discharges. Has there been any comment from those who may have presented the material to the panel? >> But of course members of CSICOP and other debunker-types >>will attack the panel and its conclusions strenuously, as usual. >Yeah Jim, but at least this time they are argueing with Ph.D's >and scientists.

Of course, scientists have been known to have severe disagreements over their theories and general acceptance in the scientific community (however, that's defined) may not come easily. The JSE Report is, IMHO, a good first step and one that should have been taken a long time ago. But we still have a long road to travel. Steve
