 J. Allen Hynek

Josef Allen Hynek (May 1, 1910 – April 27, 1986) was an American astronomer, professor,
and ufologist. He is perhaps best remembered for his UFO research. Hynek acted as
scientific advisor to UFO studies undertaken by the U.S. Air Force under three consecutive
projects: Project Sign (1947–1949), Project Grudge (1949–1952), and Project Blue Book
(1952–1969).

THE CONDON REPORT
The Condon Committee was the informal name of the
University of Colorado UFO Project, a group funded by
the United States Air Force from 1966 to 1968 at the
University of Colorado to study unidentified flying
objects under the direction of physicist Edward Condon.
The result of its work, formally titled Scientific Study of
Unidentified Flying Objects, and known as the Condon
Report, appeared in 1968.

After examining hundreds of UFO files from the Air

Force's Project Blue Book and from the civilian UFO
groups National Investigations Committee On Aerial
Phenomena (NICAP) and Aerial Phenomena Research
Organization (APRO), and investigating sightings
reported during the life of the Project, the Committee
produced a Final Report that said the study of UFOs was
unlikely to yield major scientific discoveries.
 THE ROBERTSON PANEL
The Robertson Panel was a
scientific committee which met
in January 1953 headed by
Howard P. Robertson. The Panel
arose from a recommendation to
the Intelligence Advisory
Committee (IAC) in December
1952 from a Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA) review of the U.S.
Air Force investigation into
unidentified flying objects,
Project Blue Book.
The panel was briefed on U.S. military activities and intelligence; hence the report was
originally classified Secret. Later declassified, the Robertson Panel's report concluded that
UFOs were not a direct threat to national security, but could pose an indirect threat by
overwhelming standard military communications due to public interest in the subject.
Most UFO reports, they concluded, could be explained as misidentification of mundane
aerial objects, and the remaining minority could, in all likelihood, be similarly explained
with further study.
The Robertson Committee (notice Albert Einstein), also known as The Robertson Panel
arose from a recommendation of the Intelligence Advisory Committee (IAC) in 1952 from
a CIA review of the U.S. Air Force investigation into UFO's by Project Blue Book.
 NICAP

NICAP was founded on October 24, 1956, by physicist Thomas

Townsend Brown. The board of governors included several
prominent men, including Donald Keyhoe, Maj USMC (Ret.),
and former chief of the Navy’s guided missile program RADM
Delmer S. Fahrney USN (Ret.)

Donald Edward Keyhoe (June 20, 1897 - November 29, 1988). In the 1950s he became well-
known as an UFO researcher, arguing that the U.S. government should conduct appropriate
research in UFO matters, and should release all its UFO files. Jerome Clark writes that
"Keyhoe was widely regarded as the leader in the field" of ufology in the 1950s and early-
to-mid 1960s.
S1 E1: The Fuller Dogfight

The Gorman UFO dogfight

The Gorman UFO dogfight was a widely publicized UFO incident. It occurred on October
1, 1948, in the skies over Fargo, North Dakota, and involved George F. Gorman, a pilot
with the North Dakota Air National Guard. USAF Captain Edward J. Ruppelt wrote in his
bestselling and influential The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects that the Gorman
Dogfight was one of three "classic" UFO incidents in 1948 that "proved to [Air Force]
intelligence specialists that UFOs were real."
S 1 E 2: The Flatwoods Monster

The Flatwoods Monster

In West Virginia folklore, the Flatwoods monster, also known as the Braxton County
Monster or Phantom of Flatwoods, is an entity reported to have been sighted in the town
of Flatwoods in Braxton County, West Virginia, United States, on September 12, 1952,
following the appearance of a bright object crossing the night sky. Nearly fifty years later,
investigators concluded that the light was a meteor and the creature was a barn owl
perched in a tree, with shadows making it appear to be a large humanoid.
S1 E3: The Lubbock Lights

The Lubbock Lights

Between the months of August and September, year 1951, unusual light formation was
seen over Lubbock City, Texas. The incident received lots of attention from the national
media, which dubbed it as the Lubbock Lights. It is also considered as one of the first and
biggest UFO encounters in the USA.
S 1 E 4: Operation Paperclip

Chiles-Whitted UFO encounter

The Chiles-Whitted UFO encounter occurred on July 24, 1948 in the skies near
Montgomery, Alabama. Two commercial pilots, Clarence S. Chiles and John B. Whitted,
claimed that at approximately 2:45 AM on July 24 they observed a "glowing object" pass
by their plane before it appeared to pull up into a cloud and travel out of sight.
