 -=> Quoting David Jacobs to John Powell <=-

 DJ> John, Budd has already begun to discuss some of his 
 DJ> findings.  He is  publishing some material in MUFON journal 
 DJ> and I hope that he will be able  to write a book about the 
 DJ> case eventually.  He is still investigating the  case as it 
 DJ> is ongoing and new developments are still coming forward.  
 DJ> I  think that all shall be revealed in due course, but I 
 DJ> cannot at this time give you a definite date.

Okay, I can live with that.  Just for the typing exercise I hope that he
defends the case in a timely manner regarding Klass-like attacks.  The
first round was rather brutal and it won't get any easier as things
progress.


Thanks, take care.
John.

Subject: Survey, 7/7
Date: 11 Oct 92 18:51:22 GMT

[1] - The actual question preface was:  "This card contains a list of
      some things that might have happenned to you at some point in your
      life, either as a child or as an adult, or both.  I'd like you to
      read down the card, and for each item tell me, to the best of your
      knowledge, if that has happenned to you more than once, once or
      twice, or never."  The actual available selections were:  a) More
      than once; b) Once or twice; c) Never; d) Don't know.  These
      selections, (a, b, c, and d), are indicated in the detailed
      Demographic Data section.

      Format notes:  The order of the questions as listed in Summary I &
      II is as presented in the referenced document.  The _numerical
      order_ corresponds to the order of the questions as presented in
      the Demographic Data section and corresponds to the actual order
      of the questions as presented to the original respondents.

      Card 1 and Card 2, in the Demographic Data section, are each
      presented in two parts to conform to an 80-column format.  They
      were originally presented as a one-page landscape (horizontal
      132-column) printout.

      For household income the 'M' indicates married couple income.
      Occupation is for the interviewed respondent and not the head of
      household.  The column titled "Empl Fems" indicates employed
      females.  Geographic designations:  NE = Northeast, New England
      and Mid-Atlantic states; Midwest = East North Central and West
      North Central states; South = South Atlantic, East South Central
      and West South Central states; West = Mountain and Pacific states.
      (These are combined U.S. Census Regions.)  Market size corresponds
      to A.C. Nielsen definitions:  A = the 25 largest metro areas in
      the U.S.; B = individually or aggregately within a metro area have
      a population of 150,000 or more; C = individually or aggregately
      within a metro area have a population of 35,000 or more; D = all
      remaining counties.  Although not specifically mentioned in the
      study commentary or the data analysis, the "Race Blck" column is
      assumed to refer to that portion of respondents who identified
      themselves as Afro-American.

      The referenced document is assumed to be accurate.  THIS DOCUMENT,
      ALTHOUGH PROOFREAD TWICE, MAY CONTAIN TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS WHICH
      ARE SOLELY MINE.

[2] - Surveys were conducted in July, August, and September 1991.  The
      Total and monthly respondent figures are listed.  The individual
      month margin of sampling error is +/- 3%, the total sample margin
      of sampling error is +/- 1.4%    After demographic exclusions,
      185,000,000 people are represented by the total survey.  "Thus,
      when 8% of our respondents reported that they have 'seen unusual
      lights or balls of light in a room without knowing what was
      causing them, or where they came from,' that 8% can be said to
      represent a total of 14,800,000 Americans."

[3] - TRONDANT is a fictional word and the question was included "in an
      attempt to guage the reliability of people's responses.  It is
      interesting to note that only 1% of respondents, the lowest for
      any item, report this as having happenned."

[4] - PSA = Political Social Actives; Roper terms them Influential
      Americans and defines them as: "predominantly in their thirties
      and forties, are married and have children.  They are wealthier
      than most Americans, with a median income of $38,700, compared to
      $28,300 for the total population.  On average, Influentials are
      also better educated - 43% of Influentials are college graduates,
      compared to 30% of the total population."

[5] - Percentages have been rounded off "to the nearest whole percent."
      This means that adding sub-item percentages may yeild values
      greater than 100%.

          Nice posting!  I was particularly interested in this passage:

 .. which makes me wonder how many people read through that survey like this:

>>  ...  Yeah  ... once or twice.  ...
>>  ... Oh yeah!  More than twice ... about 4 or 5 times! ...
>>  ...  Yep!  At least 3 times. ...
>>  ... Oh yeah! -- TRONDANT!!  Wow!  I haven't heard *that*
>>  word in a LONG time!  F***in' TRONDANT!  Now what was that
>>  supposed to mean, anyway?   ...  Wow!  Just thinking of
>>  that word again is causing me to have FLASHBACKS!!  ...
>>  I can still see THOSE EYES!!  ... And that sulphur smell
>>  that Whitley used to describe!  ...  Too much!!  ...

I'd bet that the number of people who fall for TRONDANT is a lot 
higher on these paranormal-related bbs-es.  -- probably *much* 
higher than 1%!
