Distinguished Lecture Series

Each year leading thinkers in UAP studies will deliver lectures in honor of the pioneering investigator J. Allen Hynek, who was instrumental in promoting the study of unidentified aerial phenomena as a topic of serious scientific and academic concern.

The Society values debate and skepticism. Each year, in the spirit of openness and free inquiry, the Society holds a series of lectures delivered by prominent scholars either noted for their criticism of aspects of the study of UAP, or for their advocacy of agnostic but serious scholarly or scientific study of these phenomena.

Abduction reports and alleged entity encounters are perhaps the most puzzling and scientifically challenging aspects of some UAP reports. In this lecture series we invite scholars to offer their audience a systematic investigation into this vexatious subject.
