The Center for UFOStudies (CUFOS) is a privately-funded unidentified flying object (UFO) research group.
Although Dr. Hynek started out as a skeptic and helped the Air Force to debunk most UFO reports, he gradually became convinced that a small number of UFO cases were not hoaxes or explainable as misidentifications of natural phenomena, and that these reports might represent something extraordinary - even alien visitation from other planets.
Following Dr. Hynek's death in 1986, CUFOS was renamed the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFOStudies in his honor.
