James McDonald was an advocate for the right thing. Proper scientific investigation instead of ignorance and ridicule.
Scientific American recently published a rather interesting
piece on
the problematic relationship between ufology and science. I have to stress that I strongly agree with that particular perspective on the subject.
Even more interesting is the writeup of McDonald's speech
Science in Default: 22 Years of inadequate UFO
investigations (also available
here in PDF
format), which he held in 1969 at the 134th Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
He was a true researcher with all the credentials required to make a great impact throughout the field of ufology. It's really sad that such an
accomplished individual became one of the victims of the UFO debate and its ridicule.
