[* - * Enclosed with the copy of letter sent to recipients on 25apr04] *This
letter is the first of its kind, and represents a major advance compared with
scientists who have been suppressed in the past. It is particularly important
to notice the following extract; 4. Should Ivor Catt have
approached the matter differently, and if so, how? How should he approach the
matter now? This was an unprecedented
attempt to rule out the possibility of a later rationalisation, that there
were personality problems, or that Catt approached the matter in the wrong
way. Also notice; To exclude the possibility of personality problems, I have not
until now communicated with the main parties direct. These two
items show that this experiment on the Scientific Reception System breaks new
ground. Certainly, far more care and effort has gone into it than in any
previous case, including the case of Galileo. Continually, an eye was kept on
previous cases. This makes it a historical landmark. Only one
communication was ever received from Pepper . Only one
communication was ever received from McEwan , except for http://www.electromagnetism.demon.co.uk/01050.htm
five years later. Except for the single McEwan attempt ,
all of the rabbits caught in the glare had nothing to offer to resolve the
problem, and no ideas as to how to resolve it. Ivor Catt 25apr04* |

. Dear Sirs, by
I. Catt, pub. Westfields Press, 1996, ISBN 0 906340 13 6 ([dec1999] To exclude
the possibility of personality problems, I have not until now communicated with the main parties direct.) The book with the above title was published in 1996. It is
available on my website, and there is a copy in Trinity College Library,
Cambridge. Since then, the Lynch-Catt paper
on the problem was given at the IEE Group S7 Conference on 10 July 1998. This
paper was later published in the Conference Proceedings, and is available on
my website, (the key
diagram , p3 of the book The
Catt Anomaly , being enclosed herewith). Your responsibility in this matter is discussed in the book,
which is about to be re-issued. You are invited to send me your comments for inclusion,
unedited, in the new edition of the book. Your comments will also go onto my
website. You may also want to avail yourself of "Riposte",
which is explained on my website Home Page. This enables you to have a
hyperlink from anywhere on my website, to a website of your choosing, to
rebut any assertion made on my website. You may or may not wish to respond to these specific questions; 1. Is the Westerner view ( Howie , McEwan ) incompatible with the
Southerner view ( Pepper )? 2. Are you a Westerner or a Southerner? 3. Should a conference be convened to
discuss The Catt Anomaly? (See p55 of my book.) If so, who should organise
it, who finance it, and who should be guest speakers? (I note that G De
Santillana, in The Crime of Galileo, pub. 1955, writes that the main mistake
in handling Galileo [the earth moves] was to approach it administratively,
which is your mistake over The Catt Anomaly. ".... if a decision had to
be taken, a council was in order. To deal with the question on an
administrative level [Note 1] was not only an arbitrary procedure; it was an
inexcusable mistake, which is the necessary premise to the graver mistake of
the trial sixteen years later...." - De Santillana, p137) 4. Should Ivor Catt have
approached the matter differently, and if so, how? How should he approach the
matter now? Best

you with a reply. With respect to the views of Professor Pepper and Dr.
McEwan, he stated that "I am in general agreement with their assessment
