Anybody out there speak Swedish? Judging by the abstract, this
justfiably should make everybody who hasn't already done so
reject the 'scientific' work of Michael Persinger and bandwagon
jumping of Susan Blackmore.

Michael Persinger also drew a nonsensical connection between
earthquakes and UFO sightings, if they were within hundreds of
miles and months of each other!

Sounds like excellent work done by the Swedes.
