Tom,

Finally a clear scientific response of quality! - for [1], I have the
PDF.
I agree with your conclusion, although I must admit that my opinion may
be biased as here you support my intuitive estimation that although to
me it looks like some kind of signal, no hard conclusions are possible
based on so little data with so much noise.

One thing though: Your remark that the plots are "forced to be
cyclical" is a little beside the point, as the claim is that the plots
are cyclical in a way that is consistent with motion through an ether.
For example 3 cycles in one turn would be a bad match.
As counter argument one may point out that an inhomogeneous temperature
distribution may cause a similar 2-cycle periodicity as one would
expect from ether theory.

Thanks again.
Harald
