Nice interview with the two sons.
They related how they had contacted the makers of the History Channel show and to their credit they aksed them to be content advisors.
Aidan Gillen and Laura Mennell, who play the Hynek parents, aked them to be sure how they got their parents right.
And they seemed happy enough with the dramatization of the events, because they thought it would reach a broader audience.
They said there Dad's turning point was around the time of the
Sorocco case
Afterwards they said he had to tread a fine line, to keep the USAF happy, he couldn't speak his mind completely, as he would have lost access to the data, and it would have threatened his academic career. On the other hand he was be pursued by people like
James E. McDonald to blow the whistle on what he knew.
Hadn't heard he stood in front of the UN in 1977. Lee Speigel came on for a while and related a very interesting story about a chapter of the USAF 1968 handbook specifically on UFOs. He got from Hynek when he asked him if he had a smoking gun. Listed UFOs going back to 50,000 on earth.
Looked for this but couldn't find it.
Anyone know if there is a copy of this anywhere?
