1971.0302 McDonald at SST hearing

On 2 March 1971, James E McDonald gave evidence before a subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee conducting hearings on the “Civil Supersonic Aircraft Development (SST)”. Following James E McDonald’s evidence, Representative Conte provoked laughter in the hearing room by stating, “A man who comes here and tells me that the SST flying in the atmosphere is going to cause thousands of skin cancers has to back up his theory that there are little men flying around the sky”.

Web Resources

There is a rapid turnover of UFO material on the Internet. Many links to material on UFO websites quickly become out of date. Therefore, instead of giving many links to specific webpages I have instead focused on providing tables of references to discussion of UFO incidents, personalities and other matters in various books. Those tables of references to discussion in books can be sorted by author, length and date. I hope these tools are useful.
