Hynek, 'The Hynek UFO Report'
Hynek's critique of Project Blue Book, drawing on cases from its files that he believed had been poorly or wrongly explained.

The account
After Blue Book closed, Hynek went through cases he had worked on and argued that the Air Force had prioritised public reassurance over investigation. Coming from the program's own scientific adviser, it carries unusual weight.
The sceptical view
Hynek's selection was made to support his thesis; Blue Book's defenders note that most of its explanations have stood.
