Donald G. Carpenter

Donald Gilbert Carpenter (May 23, 1927 - March 27, 2011) was an American nuclear physicist and decorated United States Air Force officer who worked under the Aerospace Defense Command on the U.S. satellite tracking program SPACETRACK, which included a command posting with the 16th Surveillance Squadron at Shemya AFB, Alaska. Carpenter also pursued interests in gerontology, ghostology, and ufology; the latter interest was expressed in his authorship of a controversial chapter, "Unidentified Flying Objects," in a USAF Academy physics textbook Introductory Space Science (reprinted as Environmental Space Sciences in 1972).
