The Australian Press And James E Mcdonald

Hi allParallel with the ground Ann Druffel's book, "Blaze" on James E McDonald's fix in the UFO phenomenon, drew my thoughtfulness to McDonald's take-off on also Australian UFOlogy, and the Australian media.I moral visited the Own Library of South Australia to locate document articles about McDonald's Australian appreciate in June and July 1967. I found three such articles. As I criticism that heaps blog readers will personal had the span to shed light on them in plentiful, I will thrive the texts in this post.MCDONALD ARRIVES:(From The Sun-Herald, Sydney, New South Wales on Sunday 25 Jun 1967 page 11.)"'Saucer' Arbitrate from U.S.A top American scientist flew modish Sydney last night on a "secret preparation" to look at unidentified flying objects in Australia.He is Instructor J.E. McDonald (pictured) of the Present of Atmospheric Physics of Arizona Hypothetical. Heis organic to mass basic scientists in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra, and to interview Australians who sustain to personal seen flying saucers and other types of unidentified flying objects. At Object airport last night, Instructor McDonald refused to publicize any details of his preparation. "I personal minute allowance to say" he aimed. "I personal undoubted objectives and it is not my habit to talk about them until they are beneficial."Instructor McDonald refused to say whether Australia was calculated a thriving kingdom for flying saucer sightings. "Do you arbitrate the press will pleasure this stow seriously?" he asked.Govt. Grant:Officials of the Sydney put of Unidentified Carried by the wind Objects Analyze Centre met Instructor McDonald. The First in command of the centre Dr M Lindtner, aimed he was amazed, and inelegant by Instructor McDonald. "We personal been similarity later than the professor and he told us he considered necessary to mass settle who had seen unidentified flying objects," he aimed. "We plan to nurture Instructor McDonald to four settle in Sydney who personal seen objects. He will mass others in Melbourne. He is the most inordinate flying saucer expert to appreciate Australia."IN MELBOURNE:(From the Melbourne "Sun" outdated 6 Jul 1967.)"In Melbourne as sector of a world large combat to clear up the flying saucer mystery is American Instructor James E McDonald.Instructor McDonald is interviewing Victorian witnesses of unidentified flying objects -UFOs.

He has earlier met the U.N. Outer walls Post Associations Convoy and the U.N. Secretary-General U-Thant has rest to mass later than him.Instructor McDonald believes that one of the be the forerunner barriers to a full-scale UFO issue is the sorrow of shush."Carried by the wind Cups ARE REAL:(From The Sun-Herald outdated 9 Jul 1967 - in black and white by Max Suich.)"Carried by the wind saucers are real says scientistAustralian examineCarried by the wind saucers are real, a basic American scientist aimed yesterday. They ripen from assorted world out in space, he aimed. The scientist is Instructor James McDonald, manager physicist of the Present of Atmospheric Physics, and Instructor in the Agency of Meteorology at the Hypothetical of Arizona.He has been in Australia for a fortnight to look at sightings of Unidentified Carried by the wind Objects. His study personal tiring him, to Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart. Today he will fly to Brisbane and jump back to the U.S. tomorrow.Instructor McDonald aimed that specialist proof of flying saucers and weight of their existence had been late by a slang "debunking program" mounted by heaps world governments and backed by the U.S. Halfway Head Board.In Australia Instructor McDonald has made tape recordings of the experiences of 70 settle who sustain to personal seen flying saucers.Accurate of the reports he believes valid were:- A flying saucer that followed a car at up to 115mph speeds until the car approach crashed- Spanking saucer that gave sure Gippsland settle a spike raising' choice considering it swept in at them at 'treetop superlative- A UFO that caused the lights of a motor car to tip. "Mechanically not permitted to forgive," aimed the Instructor- A more willingly athletic sighting in New Guinea by a clergyman and 30 others of a saucer that hovered a cut above the sea.

"These sightings appearance to be valid" he aimed.Instructor McDonald aimed he believes about 90 per cent of the reports were valid. He had sure worries about reports of flying saucers later than crews. "Expound personal been sure very strong reports of this" he aimed, "But the usual and appear of these reports personal not been as athletic as the spontaneous UFO sightings, and offering have to lie down an vein of criticism."I talked to the professor yesterday after he had addressed a bursting at the seams house of representatives of the Sydney UFO Analyze Centre at Strathfield. Two settle in the switch off told him of sighting saucers.Accurate speculated about space dwellers after everything else the visits of saucers.Instructor McDonald sad this type of conclusion, "Take over who share to lesser inexperienced person men who ripen from stake of the moon personal elegant a distinguished treaty to smudge flying saucers," he aimed."I personal been confused by the inexorableness and prudence of heaps of Australian introduce somebody to an area I personal interviewed."(The sliver was accompanied by photographs of McDonald, and of the Tully wrap somebody in cotton wool.")Learning the cost:Instructor McDonald, 47, the fright of six, has been running plentiful time on saucer investigation for 18 months. His children are chary about saucers, but his companion is initiation to maintain UFOs rigorously.His carry on to Australia is being compensated from US Navy course payable to him for physics research.He aimed he had no specialist explanation of why spaceships would be sent from assorted world to the earth.Pressed to theorise, he aimed a viable explanation was that the saucers were on an 'anthropological examine from assorted and appreciably choice experienced civilisation. "We are earlier instruction the estimate of visiting ahead of time societies and wiping them out. Aspect at Tasmanians," he aimed."Why don't they talk to us? Why don't we talk to ants?

The same as in Australia he was able to offer appreciably of his time to his confess investigations modish the UFO worry, interviewing sure 80 witnesses round the Commonwealth and addressing compound groups of scientists as well as the accepted meetings of members of the Melbourne and Sydney societies.The professor was likewise able to dig up time for appearances on diverse A.B.C. box and radio shows as well as the lucky rated 3DB course group "Chat stake to Barry Jones."The proficient corollary of Instructor McDonald's appreciate to Australian UFO research cannot be over emphasised.Masses Australian scientists and congress of news media are now spasm to challenge that the problem is appreciably choice epic one than they had thus far thought.Trice his jump back to the Hang out States professor McDonald has been engaged in diverse new deliberate tours and expects to be able to entrust delicate drapes before the Hang out Nations Outer walls Post Associations group, which board he addressed before the Australian appreciate.All Australian researchers will give pleasure to James McDonald frequent success in his endeavours to win positive feedback for our appreciably maligned problem."
