Leonard H. Stringfield: "By March 1981, while preparing the text for Status Report III, I had decided it was time to take inventory; time for appraisal of the material on hand and of myself still in the midst of a heated controversy among researchers over the pros and cons of UFO crashes and retrievals. I needed outside thinking and assessment of cases, a new perspective. To this end, I invited to my home two trustworthy friends who supported and contributed to my endeavors: Dr. Peter Rank, Chief of Radiology at the Methodist Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin; and Richard Hall, former Assistant Director of NICAP and then Editor of the MUFON UFO Journal. (Note 3: See statement in Epilogue, page 49, of Status Report III, signed by Dr. Peter Rank and Richard Hall.)
