Hi,

Sorry, one and all, for slipping into UK colloquialisms.

The results of any cummulative response to the question from a
number of UK and US respondents will, of course, provide a stat
(istic) - when they come in. As yet we dont know what the
results are so we cannot know what the stat will be. But I am
betting (yes, educating guesswork no more) that the results
would be as shown. I may be proven wrong, of course. But its
what my experience suggests would be the case. From the writings
and general tenure of the UFO community in the UK in comparison
with the US (woth which I am somewhat familiar) there are
considerable differences that I suspect would manifest in the
reply to such a question.

Sorry. It was sloppy English written in haste when trying to
reply to a squillion e mails. Hope this is clearer.

Best wishes,

Jenny
