April 24, 2007 (Covington, Kentucky) - The Anomaly Response Network is
proud to announce the launch of the Stringfield number project. This
electronic project will study research collaboration among ufologists
much like the Erdos number project has done for the field of
mathematics.
Finding Your Stringfield Number
If you are a coauthor, co-investigator or co-researcher of (i.e. you
worked directly with) Leonard H. Stringfield, you have a Stringfield
number of 1. If you are a coauthor, co-investigator or co-researcher
of a person other than Stringfield who has a Stringfield number of 1,
you have a Stringfield number of 2, and this pattern continues
indefinitely. Anyone who has a finite Stringfield number is invited to
submit their name and number to the project, with evidence of how they
computed their number (for example, a link to the relevant case file).
About the Stringfield Number Project
The Stringfield number project honors the late Leonard H. Stringfield,
one of the first ufologists to take crashed-saucer stories seriously.
He published numerous papers and books on the topic throughout the
later half of the twentieth century up until his passing in 1994. His
contacts in the medical field gave him the first descriptions of the
alien bodies allegedly recovered at Roswell.
The Stringfield number, just like the Erdos number, is a way of
describing the collaborative distance, in regard to UFO case files,
between an investigator/researcher and Stringfield. Very few of these
numbers are currently known, and anyone interested in the topic is
encouraged to help the project by researching Stringfield's cases and
submitting new names and numbers.
About The Anomaly Response Network
Founded in 2001, the Anomaly Response Network is a de-centralized
network of independent investigators working in unison to resolve the
mysteries of science. The organization's mission is to bring together
researchers, investigators, scientists and analysts from a variety of
fields to objectively study all forms of unusual phenomena through the
collection of first hand reports, the field investigation of these
reports, and the computerized analysis of such data.
