Multiple elastic scattering of both scalar [1] and electromagnetic waves from a collection of randomly distributed objects is studied. Novel universal properties of the spectra of random Green matrices involved in the description are discovered. A striking physical interpretation within various models of the single scatterer is elaborated. Proximity resonances and Anderson localization are considered as two illustrative examples. Generalizations of 2D numerical transmission experiments [2] are also given.
