<blockqoute>An Open Letter To Dr WC Levengood from Robert Irving.
10 June, 1995
Re: H-Glaze/Iron filings debate
Dear Dr Levengood,
You might be disturbed to learn that one of your British acolytes, namely Paul Vigay, is distributing a story that you have submitted samples of `glaze' for independent comparison with samples of iron filings supplied by me. As you have yet to respond to my offer to supply you with such samples, we both know that this cannot be true. If, however, you have made a comparison with other filings (as any fine-grade iron filings should suffice---there was nothing particularly special about mine) it would better serve your cause to state exactly that. Untrue or dubious variations, such as those consistently promulgated by Vigay and his ilk, cannot but hinder any credibility you might achieve in your quest for discovery.
You will be interested to learn that samples of my filings, along with samples of the original `glaze' (as supplied to me by Peter Sorenson, and of the same batch initially sent to you) are available for analysis by any interested, independent, and sufficiently accredited party. I'm confident, even in the context of present crop circle research, these criteria are not as limiting as they might first appear. Offers from any University-level metallurgy department, or from a certain Jet Propulsion Laboratory representative, would be especially welcome. Although I fear this proposal may eventually prove redundant, it is my hope that any findings could be freely, and quickly, distributed---thereby negating further silly claims made on your behalf. As a scientist with an apparently impeccable background you would be the first to recognise that such action would release the debate from its current, seemingly disingenuous, impasse.
Sincerely, Robert Irving
N.B1---Although you will have no reason to doubt the authenticity of the original `H-Glaze` sample offered for inspection, others might. The sample was supplied to me by Peter Sorenson last summer. It was signed by him, and the transaction recorded by us both on camera and audio tape, along with his confirmation that the sample was collected from the Yatesbury/Cherhill crop formation and of the same batch upon which your findings are based. Sorenson, being one of the most pleasant, cheerful, and unprejudiced fellows anyone is likely to meet, will no doubt confirm this.
N.B2---My apologies for presenting this letter in open format. I have it on completely unreliable authority (Vigay's `net-whining') that John Burke ``refuses to respond'' to offers made one year ago to supply you with samples; an attitude which hardly leads to a natural progression of understanding for others who may be interested in an honest appraisal of comparative tests. It would be sad, but not untypical, if an eventual outcome were to be shared only by those keen to prolong (or promote?) staled arguments.
Your turn Lindy. About those witness who observed crop circles being made within seconds...
