The Sturrock panel on physical evidence
In 1998 Peter Sturrock organised a panel of scientists to review physical evidence associated with UFO reports.

The account
The panel heard investigators present cases with photographs, radar, ground traces and physiological effects. It concluded that the evidence for the extraterrestrial hypothesis was inconclusive, but that some cases were puzzling enough to deserve further study. Sturrock published its work as 'The UFO Enigma' (2000).
The sceptical view
The panel itself found nothing conclusive; sceptics note that 'worth studying' has been the verdict of every such review since the 1960s.
