Given what I've seen on this channel, swamp gas appears to be more rare than actual UFO's.😂

Years later, Hynek mentioned that his "swamp gas" statement was his "greatest regret"

[j.d.leslie]

Swamp gas just as absurd as 'ball lightning'

[paulatreides]

After reading the Jacques Vallee's journals, I learned that Hynek was forced by the conjuncture to do this type of declarations because otherwise the Air Force would kick him out and he wouldn't get the chance to find out what's happening.
The "Blue Book" series was depicting also this situation.

Thank you EOC UR DOING HISTORY JUSTICE

He eventually changed his mind as we all know!

A little bit of swamp light goes a long way.

[naturalobserver]

I live up the road from where that happened.
Mostly subdivisions now very little swamp left.🤷‍♂️

[aflaz]

No swamp gas in the city I am in and I've seen a ufo. Though sometimes I think my neighbours house is a swamp.

[phibeta]

I’m glad Hynek saw the light eventually and quit making bs explanations for actual sightings

[mustardfj]

Dr. Swamp gas Hynek! Proof that if you pay a “scientific” person enough money, they will say what they’re pay to

[MrWolynski]

The actual sighting that needed an explanation was in the actual sky of bright objects flying in formation at high velocities.

He was paid to debunk.

If you think swamp gas looks strange, just wait until you smell it!

[FascinatingMaterial]

Bruh, EOC is about that life, all we need is some real footage, authentic old footage, EOC i know is gonna drop something SOON, keeping my fingers cross, bruh where u getting al this meant to say laughing gas, enough

After watching the uncut Apollo videos After watching those videos I felt bad for the astronauts what they had to go through after seeing all that stuff and probably not even being told what they were going to see or given the full extent of what they were supposed to see in space .and then afterwards not being able to talk about anything being censored and once I saw the video of them looking out the window and seeing these blue things around there and you can see they're scared I felt really sad for them.. those darn UFOS came so close to the Apollo SHIP! AT ONE POINT THE NASA STATION SAYS CAN YOU SEE ANYBODY LOOKING BACK! and I'm not kidding they said that. Crazy

J. Allen Hynek was in the ending scene of Steven Spielberg’s movie:

I’ve always seen so much hate towards this point in Hynek’s career, but it’s really ill-deserved when you look at it. Hynek’s official written reports on the Michigan sightings specifically emphasized that SOME of the sightings could very well have been swamp gas, and of course he couldn’t prove it, but it still presented itself as a valid scientific explanation for SOME. And yet, the dull-minded seemed to run with it from that point as the supposed explanation for all the Michigan sightings, and even that Hynek and Blue Book were claiming all UFO sightings to be swamp gas, which was untrue. It’s the moment that painted in peoples minds from that point that Hynek was nothing more than a bumbling debunker during his time with the Air Force.

[hertzair]

Hynek was still under Air Force pressure to to explain away the UFO’s in any non-alien way possible…

I will never forget when I was around 10 years old the news said there would be ball of light flying in the air by where I lived and they said it was ball lightning..me and my parents went out for dinner that night and seen them in the sky about 10 of them flying horizontaly they were probably 20 feet in diameter perfectly round I to this day doubt it was ball lightning
