Is Arthur C. Clarke too obvious to mention here?

Is he actually a Fortean, or did he just do the programmes and front the books?

And Colin Wilson.

And Reg Presley of the Troggs, who wrote 'Love Is All Around'.
He is a ufologist and I belive has experience of 'phantom broadcasts'.

At the end of each chapter/episode, he voiced his own opinion on that particular subject and was, I recall, equally balanced between belief and scepticism so yes, I'd regard him as having a Fortean outlook, certainly...

Must say from what i've read of his writing he's closer to an evangelical shamanist than a balanced Fortean.

Not that he's not a dude. Cool

I'm quite surprised that the Lib Dems shadow Welsh secratary Lembit Opic hasn't been mentioned yet, well he has been now and he dose know quite a bit about UFOs.

What about the Troggs' Reg Presley ? He is obsessed with crop circles and is one of the leading experts in the field . (Pardon the pun)

Speaking of famous Forteans, Father Lionel Fanthorpe appears to live around the corner from my new flat. I've seen him in the local paper shop.
