Much of what we understand in the modern UFO movement can be accredited to a small number of people that were truly pioneers; J Allen Hynek is indeed one of those individuals. Hynek helped to add credibility to and popularize the study of UAPs and the search for extraterrestrial life. And while his traditional upbringing and educational background in astrophysics initially had him dubious, his efforts later in life blazed a trail for the public’s acceptance and understanding of the UFO phenomena. Who was this man and why did he change his mind? Tune in this week to find out!
