WILLIAM R. CORLISS

(Redirected from William Corliss)
'William R. Corliss' is an American physicist and writer who has come known for known for his interest in collecting data regarding anomalous phenomena. Since 1978, Corliss has published a number of works in the "Sourcebook Project": Each volume is devoted to a scientific field (archaeology, astronomy, geology, et cetera) and features articles culled almost exclusively from scientific journals. Corliss was inspired by Charles Fort, who decades earlier also collected reports of unusual phenomena. Unlike Fort, Corliss offers little in the way of his own opinions or editorial comments, preferring to let the articles speak for themselves. Corliss quotes all relevant parts of articles (often reprinting entire articles or stories, including illustrations). Many of the articles in Corliss's works were earlier mentioned by Fort works. Corliss has written many other books and articles, notably including 13 educational books about astronomy, outer space and space travel for NASA and a similar number for the Atomic Energy Commission and the National Science Foundation.
