Subject: Dr. J. Allen Hynek (1910-1986)


One of the finest ufologist in the USA was Dr. Hynek, and we
lament that the new generation, involved in the most ambiguous
aspects of the UFO phenomenon, such as abductions, sometimes
don't even reconize his name.

This forgetfulness makes us sad and mortifies us profoundly. Dr.
Hynek was not only an excellent astronomer by his own merits,
but when he began inquiring about the then so called Flying
Saucers, he was the first to maintain that the only way to
aproach the phenomenon was using the scientific method and for
that he established CUFOS (Center for UFO Studies) in 1973 with
the hope to attracting other profesionals with similar interest.

But what seldom is said, is that in addition to his involment in
the UFO mystery, who resulted in the publication of several
books and numerous articles, Dr. Hynek was an excellent person
of total integrity, he never engaged into the quarrels that
characterize today ufology literature.

For those qualities, those who knew him well also respected him.
For us and for many others, it was a privilege to knew him
during the last years of his life, and we consider our
obligation to continue his work and remember his life. Such is
the purpose of this post.

Dr. Hynek came to this world on May 1, 1910, the year of
Halley's Comet, and left it during its next visit (April
27, 1986), an event that he foresaw and announced

We don't know where Allen is now but we are certain he already
knows the truth behind the UFO phenomenon and that he will be
smiling upon seeing the ideas, that in our ignorance, we are
espousing.
