The Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) is a civilian research organization founded in 1973 by astronomer and former Blue Book consultant J. Allen Hynek, based in the Chicago area. It collects and scientifically investigates UFO reports, including the Val Johnson car-damage case and the Tinley Park lights. It matters as a leading serious civilian successor to government study after Blue Book closed, carrying Hynek's more rigorous, classification-driven approach (the 'close encounters' scale).
