James E. McDonald (May 7, 1920 – June 13, 1971)

The clue about this scientist came from a YouTube video from Ellie Dreams Down Under.

Mr. McDonald’s reputation was rock solid, until he started to investigate UFOs. Then he was shunned by the scientific community. Then he was mocked by the U.S. Congressman from Massachusetts in a committee investigating the idea that a SST (supersonic transport) would harm the ozone layer.

In 1970 McDonald appeared before a committee of the United States Congress to provide evidence against the development of the supersonic transport (SST) plane, where he testified that the plane could potentially harm the Earth’s ozone layer. During that testimony Congressman Silvio O. Conte of Massachusetts—whose district contained factories that would help build the SST—tried to discredit McDonald by referring to his UFO research. Although McDonald defended his UFO work and noted that his evidence regarding the SST had nothing to do with UFOs, Conte stated that anyone who “believes in little green men” was, in his opinion, not a credible witness

That may have been the last straw. He (allegedly) committed suicide in June of 1971. Really?

His birth chart was already on my computer program. The timing looks randomized, but could also be inspired because of the conjunction of Saturn with the Virgo Ascendant, both in opposition to Uranus.

The Moon being inconjunct to a Jupiter/Neptune conjunction on his 12th cusp in Leo makes me doubt the suicide story. The government was out to get him, and he may have been removed from the world stage. Ellie’s description of his attempting suicide, but surviving, although blinded by his action, and then escaping from hospital, only to shoot himself again sounds suspect to me. How did he leave a note?

What do you think? Was he a prophet, way before his time?
