Mount Rainier, MD, Fund for UFO Research, 1989. The Fund for UFO Research (FURFOR) was founded in 1979 to research UFOs and to secure the release of alleged relevant classified documents held by the U.S. government. Co-author Bruce Maccabee, a U.S. Navy physicist, had been investigating UFOs/UAPS (unidentified aerial phenomena) and the government’s response to them since the late 1960s, and he was later among the first to obtain the FBI's "flying disc file," in 1998. This document, roughly 20 pages, includes the original 25-question questionnaire that was published in Omni magazine in 1987; a 4-page introduction and explanation of format; and the quantitative results of 237 questionnaires of the 450 received. Note that the trick question (asking if the word "trondant" had any special meaning for the respondent) was included (this, prior to the better known 1991-1992 Roper poll that supposedly introduced the word), and that 5% of respondents fell for it. (Budd Hopkins, a designer of the later Roper poll, is mentioned as an investigator on this Omni questionnaire.) No copies found in OCLC. Photocopy, bound with one corner staple. Fine. Contemporary mailing envelope included. [#036822] $300
