This fact is corroborated, by J. Sturrock in his South Kanara and Madras Districts Manuals, and also by Haridas Bhattacharya in Cultural Heritage of India Vol.

This season was also significant in international terms for Sturrock as he made his Under-21 debut against Czechoslovakia in a 0 – 0 draw on 12 October 1976 in the first ever Scotland Under-21 side.

Sturrock also brought back to the club assistants Kevin Summerfield and John Blackley, who were previously with him during his first successful spell as manager.

Sturrock has also served as Chairman of the Plasma Physics Division and the Solar Physics Division of the American Astronomical Society.

Sturrock was also curious as to whether fellow scientists like the AIAA members ever reported seeing UFOs, i. e., anomalous aerial phenomena that they couldn ’ t identify.

Sturrock also found that skepticism and opposition to further study was correlated with lack of knowledge and study: only 29 % of those who had spent less than an hour reading about the subject favored further study versus 68 % who had spent over 300 hours.

Sturrock asked polled scientists to assign probabilities to eight possible explanations for UFOs.

In 1973, Peter A. Sturrock conducted a survey among members of the San Francisco chapter of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, where 1175 questionnaires were mailed and 423 were returned, and found no consensus concerning the nature and scientific importance of the UFO phenomenon, with views ranging equally from " impossible " to " certain " in reply to the question, " Do UFOs represent a scientifically significant phenomenon?

" In a later larger survey conducted among the members of the American Astronomical Society, where 2611 were questionnaires mailed and 1356 were returned, Sturrock found out that opinions were equally diverse, with 23 % replying " certainly ", 30 % " probably ", 27 % " possibly ", 17 % " probably not ", and 3 % " certainly not ", to the question of whether the UFO problem deserves scientific study.

In 1975, Sturrock did a more comprehensive survey of members of the American Astronomical Society.

Sturrock commented that the AAS members seemed more open to the question than the AIAA members in his previous survey.

Nonetheless, Sturrock found a strong majority favored continued scientific studies, and over 80 % offered to help if they could.

Strachan resigned in March 2004 ( to take a break from football ) and was replaced by Paul Sturrock, who had been in the process of guiding Plymouth Argyle to their second promotion in three seasons.

Until this appointment, Sturrock had most recently been at English League 1 club Plymouth Argyle in a business support role, having been relieved of his managerial duties, until he quit the club.

In October 2003, Sturrock had successfully taken Argyle back to the top of the Football League Second Division and left when Plymouth had just 12 games to play in what would prove to be another season when they would finish as divisional champions and return to the Football League Championship, formerly known as the First Division.

Sturrock soon appointed new signing Craig Easton, who he had previously managed at Swindon Town, as captain while another player from one of Sturrock's old clubs, Chris Barker, was later appointed as vice-captain, having initially been signed on loan, and then permanently on deadline day .< ref ></</ ref > It was not an easy task for Sturrock as his assistant, Tommy Widdrington left for " footballing reasons " on Wednesday 15 December 2010 .< ref ></</ ref > After a mid table finish in his first season, he has enjoyed more success during the current season, with Southend currently leading League 2.

The meeting was initiated by Peter A. Sturrock, who had reviewed the Condon report and found it dissatisfying.

Saints Chairman Rupert Lowe claimed that media speculation had proved too much for Sturrock to take, despite allegations that he himself placed much pressure on Sturrock.

When Sturrock left the club in August 2004 only two games into the new season, chairman Rupert Lowe revealed that Wigley had been appointed full time boss of the Saints and not just caretaker.

In March 2012, he had a trial with Southend United, but manager Paul Sturrock suggested he had concerns over Vine's fitness.

His international appearances were limited as Scotland had a number of other strikers at this time such as Kenny Dalglish, Charlie Nicholas, Mo Johnston, Steve Archibald, Paul Sturrock, Joe Jordan, Frank McAvennie and Andy Gray who were preferred to Brazil.

Astrophysicist Peter A. Sturrock wrote that " critical reviews ... came from scientists who had actually carried out research in the UFO area, while the laudatory reviews came from scientists who had not carried out such research.

Upon learning that Vallee had written several books about UFOs, Sturrock — previously uninterested in UFOs — felt a professional obligation to at least peruse Vallee's books.

Sturrock then turned to the Condon Report ( 1969 ), the result of a two-year UFO research project that had been touted as the answer to the UFO question.

There has been some debate in the scientific community about whether any scientific investigation into UFO sightings is warranted .< ref name = Sturrock / Stanford >
