Close Encounters UFOS Scales By Hynek

By Douglas Anderson


Since the inception of film, there have been many movies made about aliens and flying saucers. When it comes to Close Encounters UFOs, the movie Close Encounters Of The Third Kind is often considered one of the best portrayals of an unidentified flying object and associated experiences. For, a UFO sighting describes an event in which an individual witnesses something unknown in the sky. It was not until 1972 and a book written by J. Allen Hynek's book The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry that the term UFO became so widespread. It should be noted that anything which can not easily be identified is often considered a UFO.

A book related to unidentified flying objects, written by J. Allen Hynek is believed to have been largely responsible for the huge interest of close encounters since it was released in 1972. In the book, a close encounter is described by an individual whom witnesses having seen some type of UFO. Regardless of such sightings, UFOs remain an aspect of the paranormal along with demons, ghosts and spirits.

While still classified as an aspect of the paranormal, research and science related to UFOs and alien life is also at an all time high. At the same time, there still remains skepticism among researchers and scientists. One reason this is the case, is because most often sightings are logged as being nothing more than discs of daylight, radar visuals or nocturnal lights without further research.

With regards to Hynek, the scientist generated a six encounter scale map which could be used in identifying different types of UFOs and encounters. The scale is based on different locations and actions of the objects. While not an actor, the scientist also made a cameo in the film.

A scale with levels 1 through 7 authored by Hynek as a method of mapping different experiences with aliens and UFOs has been widely accepted by UFO researchers. For, the scale is based on different actions and interactions between aliens and humans. As a result, researchers and scientists can now start comparing various witness accounts to see if there are matches which can confirm the existence of aliens and UFOs.

On the first scale, a craft has provided some type of radar movement and confirmation. In almost all cases, there was confirmation of a blip on radar. At the same time, it should be noted that radar at the time had been known for propagation and reliability issues. Like HAMM radios, which were quite popular at one time, radar was still a new technology and scanners had issues with identifying operators and locations on an ongoing basis.

The second scale involves a close encounter which provides that some type of interaction took place. Most often, reports related to equipment malfunction, electronic disturbances or animals presenting strange and unusual behavior fall into this category. It is most likely this category which has kept Ufology, ghosts and spirits as being aspects of the paranormal.

In the Fifth through Seventh levels of Hynek's scale, a UFO or occupants share direct communication with aliens. For example, the sixth level represents a human or animal whom has died in conjunction with a UFO sighting. Whereas, the seventh and final level is the one in which a human hybrid is created either through a sexual encounter or artificial intelligence.
