James McDonald, Institute of Atmospheric Physics and UFO Advocacy

While Reich was working in Tucson, the Institute of Atmospheric Physics was founded nearby under the direction of Lou Douglas, a friend of President Eisenhower. Dr. James McDonald, a brilliant physicist at the institute, later became a leading advocate for the scientific study of UFOs.
