Quote from the article:
“An American scientist contended Saturday that flying
saucers were visiting the earth from another world and accused governments of a
deliberate program to debunk their existence.
Prof. James McDonald, 47, senior physicist of the Institute of Atmospheric
Physics and professor in the department of meteorology at the University of Minnesota
But he told newsmen here that scientific proof of
flying saucers and acceptance of their existence had been delayed by a
deliberate debunking program arranged by many governments and backed by the
U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.
McDonald, who was in Sydney
to investigate sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) seen over Australia
This, he said, was a device to solve the problem of
the large number of operatives tied up on UFO sightings.”
NOTE: Dr. James E. McDonald was a professor at the University of Arizona ,
not Minnesota
