Predict away. I voted for Hynek.

If I had five votes, it would have been Hynek, Keyhoe, Ruppelt, Vallee and Friedman. But I hope our mutual friend Jim Moseley gets in this year too! ;-)

I did as well, and your list of five is not altogether far removed from mine. I'm happy to say that I've met everyone of them, other than Ruppelt, and that, of course, includes that guy Moseley.
 
Vallee. He's one of the few reputable long term investigators who hasn't made a fool of himself one way or another, and seems to be the only original thinker still with us. I would have voted for Friedman, but he just seems hellbent on sticking th his ETH hypothesis. And then there's the MJ12 fiasco. Considering all the work Stan has done for the government, he should easily recognize an AFOSI disinformation scam when he sees one.
 
Assuming one takes this all seriously (and I do, as far as it goes), you have to take a look at the entire history of the study of the UFO phenomenon. I agree that Vallee would be a probable first-ballot hall-of-famer, but without Keyhoe or Hynek, we probably never would have had a Vallee or Friedman. In other words, Vallee might be Hank Aaron, but Keyhoe was Cobb, and Hynek was Ruth. Because of his scientific credentials, and years of work with Blue Book, I rate Hynek highest, even with the swamp gas fiasco. He also gets kudos for founding CUFOS, which still exists, a rare thing for a UFO group these days.
