On several notable occasions, Huizenga and Morrison also developed
severe, sudden and transient problems with their ears, eyes and
ability to speak when confronted with evidence they did not
appreciate.
Srinivasan described a hilarious occasion when Morrison was at BARC:
"Those chips are still preserved by us -- and they still give this
signal. For instance, when Douglas Morrison visited us at the time
around August 1990, I showed him that. The moment we loaded one of
those chips into the detector, the count rate indicated a very high
level of activity, giving a beautiful beta [electron energy]
spectrum. I showed him this beta spectrum, and asked him to
speculate as to where it could come from. I even gave him copies of
the spectrum. He has never talked about it anywhere, or mentioned
it in any of his writings."
I was with Huizenga when the people from Amoco showed him their
data at ICCF-4. To make a long story short, he turned green around
the gills, fled the room, and has never said one word about it.
