For Immediate ReleaseCarl Sagan knew UFOs are real - confidant reveals
But Sagan kept his viewpoint quiet to avoid losing academic funding
"ZNN" - 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. Sagan's once powerful influence on mainstream science to play-down the reality of UFOs is now in question.
In an interview with research journalist and author Paola Leopizzi-Harris she told ZlandCommunications:
"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.
Dr. J. Allen Hynek served as a civilian scientific consultant to the U.S. Air Force Project Blue Book from 1952 to1969, initially taking a very critical and skeptical position on anything related to the reality of UFOs. In one of his own reports he stated:
"I had started out as an outright 'debunker,' taking great joy in cracking what seemed at first to be puzzling cases. I was the arch-enemy of those 'flying saucer groups and enthusiasts' who very dearly wanted UFOs to be interplanetary." Hynek, J. Allen. "The Hynek UFO Report". Dell Publishing Co. 1977
After leaving Project Blue Book - the U.S. Air Force's pseudo-investigatory public relations scheme on UFOs, Hynek later wrote:
"Now, however, documentation which puts the UFO- U.S. government controversy in quite a new light has become available. The [UFO] authors have made revealing use of documents released through the mechanism of the Freedom of Information Act and other data which have been made available to them... which show that the CIA and NSA protestations of innocence and lack of interest in UFOs are nothing short of prevarication.
Hynek went on to say: "For the government to continue to maintain that UFOs are nonexistent in the face of the documents already released and of other cogent evidence presented in this book is puerile and in a sense an insult to the American people.
