Joseph,

I think you need to do a serious web (or other) search for the
works of one Michael Persinger of Laurentian University in
Sudbury, Ontario. He proposed and pioneered this area of
research many years before anyone had ever heard of Albert
Budden. I first met Persinger in 1982, when he gave a talk to
the annual MUFON conference, held that year in Toronto. I
published an interview with Persinger shortly thereafter in
Fortean Times, and later wrote an article based on his research
(and a follow-up interview) for Omni magazine. Persinger's own
"Space-Time Transients and Unusual Events" (co-authored with
Gyslaine F. Lafreniere) was published in this country by
Nelson-Hall in 1977.

This is not to denigrate Budden and his work in any fashion. In
fact, I support his questionnaire and its use. But for the
record (and whether rightly or wrongly), Budden is following
Persinger's footsteps. To the best of my knowledge, Persinger
continues to contribute to scientific, peer-reviewed journals.
Does Budden?
