The J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, also known as CUFOS, is an organization that archives and disseminates information on UFO investigations. The organization was founded by Dr. Hynek, who served as the astronomical consultant to the United States Air Force's investigation into UFOs. Initially, he was a skeptic, but became convinced that UFOs required serious study after examining hundreds of UFO reports by credible witnesses.
Bill Murphy, long-time CUFOS board member, dives into the organization's founding and how the modern era of UFOs began in the summer of 1947.
