We present the results of a prelim minary observational run of the FRV sample (Fringant et al, 1983) of close pairs of UVX objects at high galactic latitude. The extragalactic physical pairs are ∼30% and most of them do appear as “interactivating” AGNs. The method seems equally adapted to find new gravitational mirages as well as really double QSOs.
