Abstract
The interpretation of experimental results [L. A. Pobedonostsev, Sov. Phys. Tech. Phys. 34, 303 (1989)] on a test of the relativistic formula for the Doppler effect and the mistaken conclusion drawn by one author of the experiment that the special theory of relativity (STR) is unsound [L. A. Pobedonostsev, Galilean Electrodyn. 6(6), 117 (1995)] are criticized. It is suggested that the construction of the slit collimator be altered so as to take into account the aberration of light.
