	Center for UFO Studies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) is a privately-funded unidentified flying object (UFO) research group.
		Based in Chicago, CUFOS continues to be a small research organization stressing scientific analysis of UFO cases.
		The current leader and scientific director of CUFOS is Dr. Mark Rodeghier, who holds a doctorate in sociology from the University of Illinois.

	Crisis at CUFOS
		The continued existence of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) is in question.
		By "continued existence" I mean that CUFOS as it has existed since 1973, when Dr. Hynek and Sherman J. Larsen created it, may fold within the next few weeks.
		CUFOS' principal revenue source is International UFO Reporter (IUR), published four times a year for $25.

	Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS)
		CUFOS and Mimi Hynek began the Journal of UFO Research to provide a scholarly outlet for articles as well.
		CUFOS also established itself as a repository of information about UFOs, disseminating this information through the International UFO Reporter and the Associate Newsletter.
		Although the organization of CUFOS has no doubt undergone changes since this was written, hopefully this brief synopsis will give the reader a basic "feel" for the reason for its existence.

	Identified flying object - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Of about 5,000 cases submitted to and studied by the civilian UFO organization NICAP, 16% were judged unknowns.
		In contrast, much more conservative numbers for the percentage of UFOs were arrived at individually by Allen Hendry, who was the chief investigator for the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS).
		Hovering aircraft such as helicopters or blimps, or aircraft that appear to be hovering, such as airplanes seen at night from the front with their headlights on as they approach for landing can often confuse the inexperienced witness, as can aircraft strobe lights.

	Trent Photo Case CUFOS Paper (1) - Maccabee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		This paper was originally published in the proceedings of the 1976 UFO conference of The Center For UFO Studies (CUFOS).
		During the Air Force funded investigation of UFO reports at the University of Colorado in 1967-1968 (the "Condon Report"), photo analyst William Hartmann studied in detail photographic and verbal evidence presented by two former residents of McMinnville, Oregon, Paul and Evelyn Trent.
		Figures A 14 and A 15 also illustrate the previously mentioned fact that the glare in an ellipse comparable to the image of the bottom of the UO (22 degree aspect ellipse with a major axis length of 1.6 degree) is about the same as in a 1 degree disc.

		CUFOS chooses to deal with issues, not personalities, and that of course is a wise course.
		Fuller and van Utrecht were well into their work when they contacted CUFOS (the first we had heard of it) and asked if they could publish in IUR.
		He was run out of CUFOS over his nastiness and, after first believing that he could be useful, Walt Andrus discharged him for the same reason.

	IGNORING HISTORY - The Century of Modern Ufology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		However, if we define UFO as something "strange, out of the ordinary, observed in the sky, lacking a prosaic explanation to the observer," then there is no denying that "sky oddities" seen all the way back to antiquity were UFOs.
		This paragraph in the CUFOS FAQ springs from an assumption which we hold to be erroneous: that there was something intrinsically different, or unique, about the "UFOs" reported after Arnold's sighting in June of 1947, as compared to UFOs reported before 1947, all the way back to antiquity.
		Clearly, CUFOS' view in this regard is an extreme and unjustified one.

	TRN - Mar/Apr 1996 - What's Smoo?
		It was written up more than a decade ago in the CUFOS Associate Newsletter [Center for UFO Studies] – the April-May 1984 issue to be precise.
		The wife of the group finally contacted CUFOS confessing she "always wondered who or what they were, and from where?" She also exclaimed, "I assure you, we are very normal people!!!"
		Though no UFO was seen, the unusual nature of the report was felt to maybe provide "a piece of the puzzle." They couldn’t explain it offhand and didn’t plan to do a follow-up, presumably because of the very late date of the case.

	CUFOS' Position on the Gulf Breeze Case - UFO Evidence
		Summary: CUFOS considers Gulf Breeze a potentially significant UFO case, but one that remains unproven, and it is essential that research into every aspect of both photographs and testimony, continue.
		We simply wish to make clear why we feel its wise to take a cautious view of this difficult case, and to await results of the still-unfinished investigation.

	Kevin Randle and Donald Schmitt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In a to-whom-it-may-concern letter, dated September 10, 1995, Kevin Randle, half of the Center for UFO Studies' (CUFOS) Roswell "investigation" team, scrambled to distance himself from Donald Schmitt (the other half of the team) and what Randle claims were Schmitt's numerous lies.
		Prior to the involvement of the CUFOS "investigators," Roswell "researchers" had always claimed the Blue Book records made no mention of the Roswell incident.
		It wasn't a lie that there were Blue Book "files" both on the Roswell incident and the Circleville case -- with the reader being misled into believing the "file" on Circleville contained letters, investigative forms, and an official weather balloon explanation, while the Roswell "file"...contained "nothing but that lone clipping".

		NOTE: The main text of this paper was started in 1977 and completed in 1981 and then submitted to the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) for presentation at the Second CUFOS UFO Symposium.
		The intent of this paper was to supplement the previous paper on the Trent photos, "On the Possibility that the McMinnville Photos Show A Distant Unidentifed Object," published by CUFOS in the Proceedings of the 1976 CUFOS Symposium.
		For various reasons this and the other papers presented at the Second CUFOS Symposium were not published until 1989 in the "Spectrum of UFO Research." Therefore, the previously published version includes the Addendum (1984) which provided further information on the analysis and further testimony regarding the Trents.

		Hynek said that CUFOS would provide "an avenue whereby the interests and talents of these scientists and other professionals can be focused and brought to bear on this challenging problem.
