American astronomer and ufologist (b. 1950), chief investigator for CUFOS in the 1970s, known for careful case work.

The account
Jerome Clark called him one of the most skilled investigators in UFO history. Working for Hynek's CUFOS, he investigated hundreds of reports and analysed Jimmy Carter's 1969 sighting, concluding it was probably Venus.
The sceptical view
Hendry's own work is a reminder that most UFO reports dissolve under investigation.
