The picture above is of Joseph Allen Hynek, an American astronomer, professor, and ufologist. Hynek acted as a 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 man next to him is Dr. Jacques Vallée; more on him below.

Throughout history, the field of ufology and the examination of the extraterrestrial hypothesis have, without a doubt, been overcome with a plethora of disinformation. Those who have dived into the depths of ufology know this best, as it’s well documented that ‘outsiders’ from intelligence agencies and governments have infiltrated the field. They did this, and perhaps still do, to deceive researchers and people who are interested in the topic for one simple reason, to keep them away from the truth. On top of these disinformation campaigns there has long been an “official campaign of ridicule and secrecy” (Roscoe Hillenkoetter, Ex CIA director) associated with the subject. But perhaps things are changing with recent revelations, but that’s another discussion in itself.
