Dr Chris French??

This might be one for UK based members.

When I see TV show in the UK that discusses a paranormal topic you can bet Chris French will pop up and raise the same points and debunk the issues raised.

I'm all for objectivity but why always the same chap ??

Does anyone have an opinion or higher knowledge than myself on his work ?

Thanks for the info Han.

He is very much the skeptic on TV appearances and debunks the paranormal.

I'm sure he stated on TV that the light in the Rendlesham incident was nothing more than a nearby lighthouse.

I was just wondering if anyone else had an opinion of him??
