Allen Hynek Dies: The Dean of Ufology Passes at 75

One day after the Chernobyl disaster, Allen Hynek dies in Scottsdale, Arizona at the age of 75 after extensive cancer treatment. Often referred to as the 'Dean of Ufology' and 'Galileo of Ufology,' Hynek's contribution was substantial, particularly his emphasis on 'scientific ufology' which elevated the level of discourse among researchers. His gradual transformation from skeptic to believer — from Air Force consultant dismissing sightings to founder of CUFOS — remains one of ufology's most significant stories. A few months later, APRO founder James Lorenzen also dies, leaving his wife Coral as sole leader of the declining organization.
