00:01 | Here's the subject in a man to intrigue you the country's gone wild now with reports of UFO unidentified flying objects they're going all over the place recently we had a guest on the show Frank Edwards who is convinced UFOs are from another planet and he's written a
00:20 | book about it and has pretty good arguments. Today a UFO expert Dr. Allen Hynek he is director of Lindh heimer astronomical research center at the Northwestern University and he's
00:33 | consultant to the Air Force on UFOs is
00:36 | here to tell us what he thinks of this
00:38 | phenomena so here is Dr. Allen Hynek
00:44 | we're all gonna hang on every word
00:46
doctor I tell you that everywhere you
00:52
the paper you pick up magazine it's
00:54
getting hotter the whole it is it is
00:56
really what do you think well I think
01:00
that I started to feel better you know
01:03
way back in 1948 and then you started
01:06
this I mean I started investing and then
01:12
I think I would have taken just about
01:13
any bets that by 1960 or 51 we would
01:16
have forgotten the whole thing there
01:18
would have been something like the
01:20
multi-member they shouldn't both ischium
01:23
phase and so what sure a knowledge ism
01:25
and the reports that persisted and not
01:31
only have they persisted but they're
01:32
getting more and more are you not the
01:35
one dr. recently in the reports at the
01:40
girls school up in the northwest of one
01:43
up and said it was gas or something or
01:45
over or was a cash they are all again
01:51
no I I'm sorry there's nothing you reach
01:54
welcome but this is a very special case
01:58
and how do you have about half an hour
01:59
is one of the chemistry this to show we
02:01
don't go anyway
02:03
well I think therefore postpone that
02:05
unless you want alright I've been on in
02:08
the note but all I want from you it was
02:09
definitely according to your
02:11
investigation a gas rising from a pond
02:14
right this was a very likely explanation
02:17
since the exciting's occurred both of
02:20
them in Dexter and in Hillsdale they
02:22
expose occurred in swamps and a few of
02:26
them have been near electrical plants
02:28
yes so I think it is part of a great big
02:31
electrolysis whether on these two
02:33
offshoots of a atoms of electricity
02:35
might split the moisture and two
02:38
hydrogen and oxygen and the two gases
02:39
have several covers there's our
02:41
chemistry did you know this would be so
02:47
Justin's doctor said and this often
02:49
happens on this show we have all the
02:51
solvent on occasion is to sort of a
02:52
society editor the science editor of the
02:57
New York Times and he suggests that's a
03:00
likely explanation yes it's a very
03:03
unusual explanation interesting movie
03:05
because I think if the papers jumped on
03:07
that and said because this was a likely
03:11
explanation in that case is explained
03:13
all UFOs well it certainly doesn't in
03:15
fact I think that was the only case we
03:17
had in out of the four thousand Hazen
03:19
why am I not get a scientist over to say
03:22
that is definitely the explanation well
03:25
because he decided he is bound to be
03:29
cautious he's supposed to weigh in
03:31
consider he doesn't jump in and jump to
03:35
conclusions on this he had some evidence
03:37
what do you think doctor UFOs are first
03:40
of all their report yeah I've got a
03:42
little thing here he just so happens
03:44
this sheet on the dear George Moore by
03:48
George Carlin a student wrote in to dear
03:51
George I'm looking for proof that
03:52
unidentified flying objects exist
03:56
somebody says do that information on
03:58
this matter
03:58
do unidentified flying up
04:01
exist and what exactly are they Stein
04:04
student George website dear students
04:08
unidentified flying objects do exist
04:11
obviously if we knew what they were they
04:15
would no longer be unidentified flying
04:17
object would be identified by our
04:20
extinct man think and that's exactly
04:22
what the whole point is UFOs our reports
04:25
and the great great majority of them
04:27
turned from UFOs in the IFO identified
04:31
flying on to the great majority there is
04:33
for the under identified one now let's
04:36
talk about the height and what are the
04:37
possibilities what might they be
04:40
well the generally one there's a great
04:46
school that says they're all nonsense
04:48
then there are some people who say that
04:51
you could devices that where the
04:53
government is testing something and we
04:54
really because they come off a can't you
04:57
really tell me now God won't tell
