These new revalations about famous astronomer Dr Carl Sagan bring the whole Ufo topic back into the public spot light. As you may know Mr Sagan was one of the founders of SETI (Search for extraterrestrial Intelligence) and his advice was used for the movie close encounters of the third kind and his book 'contact' became a well known movie with Jodie Foster in 1997. So well resepected was Dr Sagan in the scientific community that Nasa even named their recent '
Study of Extraterrestrial Worlds scholarship' after Mr Sagan.
Although Dr Sagan always officially rejected the idea that Ufos have visited earth secretly he knew they were real. Apparently he wasn't able to express his true opinion as it would have risked funding for research projects like SETI (whose whole basis holds onto upon the flawed belief that ufos & ET's haven't made it to earth) . According to new information, he confided this with Dr. Allen J. Hynek who was well known for runing the US Airforces only official investigation into Ufos -
project Bluebook. Its well known that Dr. Allen J. Hynek
came out before his death to say that project Bluebook was both a media stunt and scam used by the US Airforce (who still rely upon this outdated study to this day to reject all further Ufo investigations) to ensure the Ufo topic reamins 'case closed' . Dr. Allen J. Hynek confided his revelations about Dr Sagan to his former associate
Paolo Harris who revealed this conversation recently:
Renowned astronomer and astrophysicist Dr. Carl Sagan revealed to Dr. J. Allen Hynek that he believed UFOs were real but avoided any public statements to prevent the loss of academic research funding.
In an interview with research journalist and author Paola Leopizzi-Harris she commented:
“My recollection is that Hynek said it was backstage of one of the many Johnny Carson Tonight shows Sagan did. He basically said (to Hynek) in 1984, ‘I know UFOs are real, but I would not risk my research (College) funding, as you do, to talk openly about them in public.’ ”
This startling revelation about Carl Sagan, one of this century’s most esteemed scientists and writers, has now been made public by Paola Leopizzi-Harris, a former associate of Dr. Allen J. Hynek who worked with him from 1980 to 1985.
Carl Sagan - "I know UFOs are real..." Dr. J. Allen Hynek served as a civilian scientific consultant to the U.S. Air Force Project Blue Book from 1952 to 1969, initially taking a very critical and skeptical position on anything related to the reality of UFOs. In one of his own reports he stated...
