Dr. Hynek came to Mobile to investigate a credible UFO landing on Oct. 11, 1973, while I was at Pensacola Flight School. It was interesting to see the reporting on whole incident unfold over several nights on the evening news.
It progressed from the newsroom staff on the first night joking about the fishermen having a little too much adult beverage while they were fishing. On the second night of reporting a reporter had driven over to interview the two fishermen and he believed them. He said they were still in shock. By the third night, Dr, Hynek and his Air Force Project Blue Book team had arrived.
My Dad worked with J. Allen Hynek and James Van Allen at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab during WWII, on the Proximity Fuse Project.
My Mom said that they both came over for dinner, but that was a year or so before I was born, so I missed getting their autographs.
I remember the Pascagoula incident well. Those 2 guys were credible (to Hynek too)...and quite shook up.
THANKS, loved the post
Nice. Many freepers are from good genes.
