usual, very boring type of affair, showing that inventiveness and imagination did not move too far beyond this approach. I do have evidence of the best six of these experiments. But for the most part, the visual experiments were not all that encouraging, and in private I apologized to Puthoff for this. For one thing, I was coming down with a cold, and my nose was running most of the time. Puthoff said something like "not to worry. It’s your overall work and ideas that are under review." But at one point, the EEK Scientists were invited to put things of their own choices in boxes and tape them shut with their initials or something on the tape. They were to ensure that no one, not even Puthoff, knew what was in the boxes. The EEK Scientists then presented three sealed boxes. Regarding two of them I approximated the hidden contents quite well. But with regard to the other, I indicated the box contained "something like a brown leaf -except that it was on the underside of the lid and not at the bottom of the box. It also seemed alive, but I didn’t understand how a brown leaf could be thought of as alive." The box contained a living moth the EEK Scientists had capture outside. It was reasonably large, was brown, and with its wings folded it resembled a brown leaf which nature had designed it to look like. When the box was opened, it was clinging to the bottom side of the lid. The two EEK Scientists looked at me with forlorn eyes. At this point, the work schedule was interrupted. Puthoff and the EEK Scientists went into closed conference with other officials at SRI. I was excluded. So I mopped at my dripping nose and drank coffee.
