Center for UFO Studies
U.S. UFO research organization
The Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) is a privately funded UFO research group. The group was founded in 1973 by J.
Allen Hynek, who at the time was chair of the Department of Astronomy at Northwestern University in Illinois.[1][2]
History
Hynek was a scientific consultant for Project Blue Book, the United States Air Force official study of the UFO phenomenon from 1948 to 1969.[3] Although Hynek started out as a skeptic and helped the Air Force to debunk most UFO reports, he gradually became convinced that a small number of UFO cases were not hoaxes or explainable as misidentifications of natural phenomena, and that these cases might represent something extraordinary—even alien visitation from other planets.[4] When the Air Force shut down Project Blue Book in 1969, Hynek, in 1973, founded the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) to continue to collect and study UFO reports.[2]
