We are honored to announce that Dr. Kevin Knuth, a member of the Society’s Board of Advisors, will deliver the 2025 J. Allen Hynek Distinguished Lecture, our annual flagship event dedicated to advancing the scholarly study of UAP in the spirit of Dr. Hynek’s legacy.

 

Dr. Knuth will present findings from his recent peer-reviewed study The New Science of Unidentified Aerospace Undersea Phenomena, published in Progress in Aerospace Sciences. This landmark paper, co-authored with a multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and defense experts, offers a rigorous analysis of over 100 high-credibility UAP cases across aerospace, undersea, and transmedium environments.

​

Bringing together physics, systems analysis, and sensor data interpretation, the study identifies patterns of motion and performance that appear to exceed known technological capabilities. Dr. Knuth’s lecture will explore these results in detail, consider their theoretical implications, and make the case for a disciplined, open, and scientifically grounded approach to the UAP question.

 

This event continues the Hynek Lecture tradition of championing intellectual rigor and academic courage in the pursuit of understanding anomalous phenomena.
