Josef Allen Hynek was a U.S. astronomer, professor, and ufologist, perhaps best remembered for his UFO research. He acted as scientific adviser to well-known UFO studies undertaken by the U.S. Air Force, such as Project Blue Book (1952 to 1969).

In this six part audio documentary from 1978 we hear Dr. Hynek elaborate on his UFO research. Interesting stuff.

There exists today a world-wide phenomenon… indeed if it were not world-wide I should not be addressing you and these representatives from many parts of the world.

There exists a global phenomenon the scope and extent of which is not generally recognized. It is a phenomenon so strange and foreign to our daily terrestrial mode of thought that it is frequently met by ridicule and derision by persons and organizations unacquainted with the facts.

Yet, the phenomenon persists; it has not faded away as many of us expected it would when, years ago, we regarded it as a passing fad or whimsy. Instead, it has touched on the lives of an increasing number of people around the world.
