About this listen
The case against UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) has not been put to rest. Although UFOs "officially" did not exist for decades according to the government, reports of sightings continue to be made, and the latest releases from the government and related hearings have surprised the world. While the scientific community has put UFOs out to pasture, the evidence used to dismiss them is rare and unscientific.
Dr. Hynek, a scientist himself, and the only government-paid ufologist in history, looks at the decisions made by officialdom in the early days of ufology and how these decisions have held us back—to the point that we are still naively talking about UFOs as we were in the 1950s. Has seventy years of research made no difference at all in our understanding?
Dr. Hynek proves that there is a conspiracy afoot to hide the facts and that there are many cases that still need to be explained by mainstream science—not dismissed with facile jokes and stupid logic. Citing specific cases, Hynek challenges those in the ivory tower by raising questions that have still not been answered and refuting mainstream arguments that have yet to be proven.

Disappointed
I'm an assistant professor of physics at an R1 university, with an open mind to this topic and wanted to learn more. I chose this book as a recommendation from a recent NYT podcast. I find the author to be arrogant, self-centered, and clearly has a chip on their shoulder about the scientific community. The author uses scientific language as if to equate that to scientific meaning, but most of it means nothing. For example, when talking about sightings and quoting reports, the author relays angle changes, elevations, and arcs which all sound very science like, but isn't particularly interesting. The book mainly consists of making snide remarks about scientists, a laundry list of cases, and claiming how bad project bluebook is, despite the author being a part of the project. I was hoping for an actual scientific look into some of these phenomena, bringing forward any actual evidence that could be used. However, the author incorrectly equates multiple sightings of similar phenomena as evidence, mainly because they are similar (why is that so surprising?). Reports from trained individuals or groups are the most interesting part of the book (which can be found elsewhere), but the book fails to take this information any further than reported. Overall, I was very disappointed with this book and will continue to look for good resources to learn more about this subject, which certainly warrants proper scientific investigation. The most simple saying that the author overlooks is "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence".
