The Father of Ufology. When J. Allen Hynek was working as an astronomer at Ohio State University in the 1940s, perhaps the last thing he expected was for the U.S. Air Force to come knocking—especially with such an unusual request: to meticulously analyze strange lights and objects in the sky that were increasingly worrying the public. Were they experimental military aircraft from enemies abroad? Or perhaps even aliens from another world? Most sightings could be explained away as meteors, strangely shaped clouds, or weather balloons. But then there were the other 20 percent. What Hynek would come to learn? The people at the top may not have cared much about finding the truth. And maybe that was the point all along.
