[edit] Oz Factor

After discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oz Factor it was decided that Oz Factor should be merged into this article. I've redirected it, please use the history to extract the relevant content. Conscious 21:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

The complete text is here:

The Oz Factor is a term coined by ufologist Jenny Randles and popularized by her 1983 book, UFO Reality.

Randles defined the Oz Factor as "the sensation of being isolated, or transported from the real world into a different environmental framework...where reality is but slightly different, [as in] the fairytale land of Oz." [1]

This quality is reported in many accounts of UFOs and related phenomena; Randles speculates that "The Oz factor certainly points to consciousness as the focal point of the UFO encounter."

[edit] Crop circles

She also co-authored a book in which Crop Circles were emphatically "solved" by recourse to the "scientific" theroy that atmospheric vortices were responsible for them. The theory, at first unlikely, proved absurd when complex shapes started to appear. It's part of her career I'm sure she'd rather forget, but still part of her history, and worth a mention.
