Axolotl, my man @S.R.L. ! Thank you! I knew there was a schedule of the conference out there somewhere in the cyber-deeps, but all I could find was the Abstracts list. Now that I’ve had a chance to look over the people and schedule, I can pinpoint the lecture of June 9, 1994 starting at 3:15 PM by Prof. John Bockris of Texas A&M U.
At around 3:30 PM, everyone in that room became a sudden witness to a tragic event that still remains a great mystery today, namely the sudden, untimely and still baffling death of Jerrold “Ron” Johnson, age 43, who suddenly fell off his chair (one row behind me and 4 seats down) and crumpled to the floor. There was a doctor in the house, namely Larry Dossey, MD, who rushed over to do CPR on Ron but to no avail. After the EMTs arrived, they told Dr. Dossey that Ron’s death was even baffling to them because he showed none of the usual signs of weak and sporadic revival that other sudden fatalities show.
Because Ron was not only Hal Puthoff’s chief Engineer at Hal’s Institute of Advanced Studies in Austin, but also a high ranking member and officer in the Texas MUFON organization, then conspiracy theories immediately grew out of his death, as you can read here. Since I was a close eyewitness, I can say that many of the details reported around his death in the first paragraph are wrong, but such errors do not affect the final judgment of a still to this day unexplained death.

An equally disturbing and more recent death is that of Ron (Jerrold) Johnson, at the time MUFON’s Deputy Director of Investigations. Johnson was 43 years old and, it would seem, in excellent health. He had just passed a recent physical examination with the proverbial flying colors. However, on June 9, 1994, while attending a Society of Scientific Exploration meeting in Austin, Texas, Johnson died quickly and amid very strange circumstances. During a slide show, several people sitting close to him heard a gasp. When the lights were turned back on, Johnson was slumped over in his chair, his face purple, blood oozing from his nose. A soda can, from which he had been sipping, was sitting on the chair next to him.
Did Ron Johnson die of a stroke? Possibly. An allergic reaction? Another possibility.
Some of the more outstanding facts of Ron Johnson’s life might easily lead a more skeptical-minded person to a tentative conclusion that his death was probably neither accidental nor natural. For instance, his most recent job was with the Institute of Advanced Studies, purportedly working on UFO propulsion systems. He had been formerly employed by Earth Tech, Inc., a private Austin, Texas, think tank headed by Harold Puthoff. It would appear he held high security clearances, traveled frequently between San Antonio and White Sands, and had attended 2 secret NATO meetings in the last year or so. One of those meetings, it is rumored dealt with ET communications.
If all or most of the facts offered above are accurate, one thing seems obvious: Johnson was walking both sides of the street. This in itself was highly dangerous, and he may have paid the ultimate price in an attempt to serve more than one master.
As for exactly what killed Ron Johnson, a number of possibilities beyond natural ones present themselves. It is quite easy in this day and age to induce strokes through chemicals or pulsed radiation. It is just as easy, and has been for some time, to induce heart attacks and other physical debilitations, such as fast-acting cancers. The best bet is that Ron Johnson was eliminated by a quick-acting toxin, perhaps a nerve agent. As for exactly why he was killed, we will probably never know. The autopsy, somewhat ludicrously, has been officially classified as inconclusive.
