A group — but no! "Group" is a tag that would not be appreciated, for those involved in this change eschew the idea of being just another "club." So we'll start again. A number of investigators situated in many parts of Britain whose aim is improvement of their specialised endeavours, wish to see the results of those endeavours brought to the notice of Britain and the rest of the world. While they are in favour of the scientific treatment and assessment of the reports of their enquiries, they object to the fact that the fate of most of those reports is to languish in some exclusive filing cabinet, or to be transferred to the bowels of some remote computer — and nothing else. So with the aims of improving standards and bringing about greater universal recognition, they have associated to form a national network of investigators with members covering areas throughout the country. If possible these members will establish a working relationship with their local police forces — it can be done, as will be seen in a contribution from Essex in this present issue of Flying Saucer Review — and generally keep their ears to the ground and eyes to the press, ready to investigate anything that comes to their notice. At the same time they will be prepared to look into other cases when alerted to do so from the focal point of the network. While it should be borne in mind that because several individuals and a number of active groups from different parts of the country make up the network, it is essential to have a focal point, and this is the Northern UFO Network whose Secretary, Jenny Randies, acts as secretary to the new, larger organisation, helped closely by Peter Warrington and Jeff Porter. In close association with them are Robert Morrell (Nottingham) and his colleagues, Philip Rogers (Birmingham) and his team, Messrs. King, Collins and others (Essex), Leslie Harris and John Ledner (Bournemouth) and Omar Fowler (Surrey), to mention but a few. In view of their desire that their reports, and the state of ufology in Britain, should become universally better known by publication in a reputable, well-circulated journal, they approached Flying Saucer Review to gauge the depth of our possible interest in the proposed liaison. The position of FSR in this world of burgeoning interest in the UFO phenomenon is that we need not only to present the international aspect of the subject and to coiitinue to use the journal as a platform for informed debate, but also vigorously to present our home "product," the British UFO reports, to the world — a field in which our scope has usually been somewhat limited. So, when the suggestion was made that vie might be interested in having an effective and reliable source of UFO reports on our own doorstep, it goes without saying that FSR was interested. Again, we
