It would have something to do with they way he discounts EVERY astronaut sighting by saying that if you research them, you will find they are all bogus...
Civilian scientific consultant to the U.S. Air Force (1948/49-1969) i.e. 20 years. He began as a debunker of UFO sightings, however he discovered there was what he felt were a significant percentage of these reports which he could not explain. He became convinced they deserved further study by the scientific community.
In 1973 Hynek formed the "Center for U.F.O. Studies" (CUFOS), an organization dedicated to the scientific study of this elusive but persistent phenomenon. He was the first legitimate scientist to head a major group of this type.
