Explanation of Ratings

Once a debunker, J. Allen Hynek became this country's
best known and
most respected ufologist.
It is he who devised the "Close Encounters of the
'Nth' Kind" system
of sightings classification.
This book recounts his experiences as a consultant to
Projects
Sign and Blue Book and offers his analysis of the
cases that Blue Book ignored.
Included are descriptions of many sighting that the
Air Force
studies failed to adequately explain -- most by
highly
qualified witnesses like pilots and control tower
staff.
-- Glenn Campbell

From the Book Cover
"Crackpots" is what astronomer J.
Allen Hynek, a consultant on the
Air Force's Project Blue Book for
over twenty years, used to call
flying saucer enthusiasts. That
was back in the days when he
adhered to the provisional
conclusions of die-hard Project
Blue Book personnel. What was
it, in the late 1960s, that caused
this famed professor and staunch
enemy of the UFO cult to
significantly alter his opinionÑto
make the radical turnabout that
rocked the scientific world,
exposed high-level cover-ups, de-
authorized the authorities, and
advanced the march of science?
It's all in Tbe Hynek UFO
Report, which distills over
12,000 sightings and 140,000
pages of Blue Book "evidence."
From this mountain of once-
classified data, Dr. Hynek reveals:
- The lowdown on Project
Blue BookÑwhat its mission
was, and why
- The government's official
"debunking policy"
- Sightings the Air Force
claimed to have identified but
actually did not
- Eye-witness reports that
are far from mad ravings
- Close encounters of the
First, Second, and Third
Kind
This astonishing-but-true
account took many years to
compile. Sifting through masses
of material, conducting surveys,
and holding interviews, Dr.
Hynek takes the reader on an
incredible whirlwind adventure
as he, almost step-by-step, relives
those harrowing, spine-tingling
moments that led him to go where
few had dared to go, unraveling
the mystery behind loaffling UFO
phenomena. From UFO-basher to
the world's foremost authority on
UFOs, Hynek indeed made a
quantum leap.
To put Dr. Hynek's remarkable
career in proper perspective,
worldrenowned UFO expert
Jacques Vallee has contributed an
illuminating foreword, written
expressly for this reissue of the book.
