Notable Quotes
“If these stars are gravity powered they will be found to be pulsating… and should be throbbing about once each second.” Fred Hoyle (quoted by Norman)
“The mathematical formula used by Einstein to describe gravity could just as well describe anti-gravity by a simple change of a minus sign to a plus sign.” Paul Norman (on Einstein)
“The colour pattern usually is as follows: in sunlight they appear like metal. At night when hovering, dark orange and cherry red. If more driving power is needed, yellow, yellow-green. When at high speed, extremely white or whitish-blue.” Norman (on colour changes)
“VUFORS does not vie for the top position on the totem pole. We are satisfied to be the quiet achievers.” Judith Magee
