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.
