Dear Elma Statisticians;
I still follow the instinct that guides me in the direction of some
industrial, or environmental deposition from industry, air travel, or
other man related waste product. Though not having been to Park Forest
specifically, the concentration of humans and industry with in a 100
mile radius of the area, and of the visual impact of the air and water,
would certainly offer indication that any anomalous substance could come
from human/industrial origin. Gary Indiana is not that far away, and
historically, it is a giant boiling tea kettle of environmental questions.
Has there been an attempt to search a grid pattern outside of the
inferred strewnfield for like specimens? A controlled experiment zone
to prove that the unknowns are ONLY in the affected area would be quite
useful. Again, I wonder where the nearest large incinerator is to the
area. Foundries, aggregate dryers, blast furnaces all seemingly would
emit something during casualty situations........OR,
 X-files, how about Soylent Green?
Good morning,
Dave Freeman
