Letter from Dr. J. Allen Hynek to Henry McKay

Background

In this letter, dated February 9, 1976, from Dr. J. Allen Hynek to pioneer physical trace ufologist Henry McKay, Hynek mentions setting up a CUFOS affiliate with Henry in Ontario, Canada.

Four months prior, Hynek contacted Henry requesting he investigate the Suffern Three Mile Lake Incident where a UFO reportedly landed on a road and a creature was claimed to have been seen wearing a one-piece, silver-coloured suit with a white or light-coloured globe on its head.

The letter is dated the year before the release of the Steven Spielberg movie, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”, a term coined by Hynek which inspired the movie.

Hynek handwrites the following note at the end of the letter, “Mimi and I will be seeing you on the 27th”. Mimi was Hynek’s wife.
