Jenny Randles

Biography

One of the most prolific and rigorous British field investigators. She documented the Pennine wave and the PC Alan Godfrey (Todmorden) case, and co-wrote the first extensive investigation of the Rendlesham Forest incident. She coined the 'Oz Factor' to describe the altered state of awareness of witnesses in close encounters. Her method —open but critical, separating the waking sighting from material recovered under hypnosis— is a reference for the prudent handling of testimony.
