Hynek And Close Encounters UFOs Scales

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.

It was Hynek's scale which was used in the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind, distributed to theaters in 1977. In fact, the movie was named after the third level of Hynek's scale. Perhaps, this is what made the movie more believable than others.

The scale which was used in the film, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, released in 1977, was created by Hynek. Most often, when looking to research a possible sighting, people turn to Hynek's book with regards to verifying an official sighting. Whereas, if there are other factors with regards to abductions, communications or tests, the scale often makes confirmation that much easier.

The six levels are encounters of the first kind in which the craft has radar confirmation. In most cases, these are more reputable reports showing that the objects are real. While this is the case, it should be noted that radar propagation can also be less than reliable.

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.

As shown in the movie, Close Encounters of The Third Kind, the third level includes some type of animated being such as robots or humanoids whom seem to be occupants or pilots of a UFO. While the fourth level represents evidence of an abduction of a human by a UFO or occupants. While not referenced, face to face meetings with species from another planet would most likely be represented at this level.

The third scale includes some type of animation between UFO occupants and humankind. Whether that be androids, humanoids or robots which were pilots or passengers of a vessel. Whereas, the fourth scale represents evidence of the abduction of a human or other entity by a UFO or occupants. While humans are often noted for initiating communication with other species, abductions, experiments and tests are often initiated by aliens and are rarely of a consensual nature.
