Paul C. Cerny

Paul C. Cerny was a prominent American UFO researcher active for over 40 years, primarily with the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) and KJFON. He maintained an extensive personal collection of UFO materials, which he generously shared with researchers, including providing a great variety of documents for Loren Gross's 'UFOs: A History, 1957' compilation. Cerny's archives were recognized as rivaling those of major UFO organizations. He is listed in declassified CIA documents detailing NICAP personnel involved in UFO investigations, alongside figures monitoring Project Blue Book. No birth or death dates are confirmed in available records, and specific publications or testimonies by Cerny are not detailed, though his contributions supported key UFO case analyses.
