...team of psychologists thinks it has the answer. Writing in the journal Science, Harold Sackeim of Columbia and Ruben Gur and Marcel Saucy of the University of Pennsylvania report that the left side of the face is not perceived well by a viewer. The team bases its conclusion on split-brain research, which shows that the right hemisphere of the brain has predominant control over the left side of the face and that the left hemisphere governs the right side. Other studies indicate that the right hemisphere of the brain is better than the left in recognizing faces and processing...
...says Beaumont, Texas, Psychiatrist Don M. LaGrone. Writing in the American Journal of Psychiatry, LaGrone says that alcoholism is high in military families, child abuse is five times the national average, and Army brats are brought in for psychiatric treatment in unusually high numbers. During his two-year stint at an unidentified Midwestern military base, LaGrone reported, 12% of all children and adolescents on the base came to his clinic for psychiatric help. Of these, 4% were diagnosed as psychotic...

In a report in the journal Applied Optics, two U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists offer an earthly explanation not only for the Utah UFOS but possibly for many others as well. Reading Salisbury's book, Entomologist Philip S. Callahan and his associate, R.W. Mankin, were struck by the similarity between the movements of the UFOS and the actions of insect swarms. Their conclusion, after some painstaking research: the Utah objects were probably moths known as spruce budworms, illuminated by a common atmospheric phenomenon known as St. Elmo's fire...
