== Response == An article by Sidney Shallet appeared in two consecutive issues of the ''[[Saturday Evening Post]]'' (April 30 and May 7, 1949) and supported Project Grudge's assessment that UFO reports could be explained by mundane phenomena, and that [[hoax]]es and [[wikt:crackpot|crackpot]]s played a prominent role in popularizing UFOs.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Shallet |first1=Sidney |title=What You Can Believe About Flying Saucers |url=https://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/reprints/what-you-can-believe-about-flying-saucers/ |website=saturdayeveningpost.com |publisher=[[Saturday Evening Post]] |access-date=2021-08-24 |ref=The Saturday Evening Post}}</ref> Astronomer and ufologist [[J. Allen Hynek]] criticized Project Grudge, claiming that the project was "less science and more of a public relations campaign". Project Grudge also received criticism from former intelligence officer [[Edward J. Ruppelt]], who was "convinced of the alien nature of UFOs and how he has seen the military and the U.S. government trying to discredit the extraterrestrial hypothesis". Both Hynek and Ruppelt claimed that Project Grudge was "as far from an objective, scientific examination of the phenomenon as one could get".<ref name="Barna William Donovan">{{cite book|author=Barna William Donovan|title=Conspiracy Films A Tour of Dark Places in the American Conscious|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bJkhqU1IXHAC&pg=PA48|year=2014|publisher=McFarland |isbn=978-0-7864-8615-1|pages=48}}</ref>
