Hi Robert,

Even if there were not specific cases, pertinant data might
still be of value; aviation related material, for instance.
Bigelow should be looking to NARCAP for their expertize as well.
They have scientists on tap. It doesn't matter to me who gets a
handle on this phenomenon as long as we get answers. I would
guess that MUFON would reach out to other organizations and
resources for their help.
