Observational evidence is presented which calls into question the adequacy of present methods for the measurement of distances to extragalactic objects. Phenomena adduced in support of this thesis include preferred values and periodicities in redshifts, and significantly different redshifts among galaxies physically associated in space, such as the pairs of galaxies NGC 7603 and NGC 53. More importantly, evidence has been found for the association of pairs of multiple QSOs with very different redshifts. The most significant such case is that of NGC 1073, where there are three QSOs with redshifts of 0.594, 1.40, and 1.95 lying within 2 arcsec of the center of the galaxy. It is suggested that a part of the redshift effect observed in the objects cited is not due to the expansion of the universe.
