- Philip Julian Klass (* 8. November 1919 in Des Moines; † 9. August 2005 in Merritt Island) war ein US-amerikanischer Elektroingenieur und Journalist. Er war einer der bekanntesten UFO-Skeptiker der USA und Mitbegründer des Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, damals Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal. Die Person Klass und seine Veröffentlichungen auf dem Gebiet der UFO-Forschung riefen sehr unterschiedliche Reaktionen hervor. Sie reichten von „Sherlock Holmes der Ufologie“ bis „ein besessener Spinner, der zur UFO-Debatte außer Lärm, seltsamer Rhetorik, pseudowissenschaftlicher Spekulation und Rufmord wenig beigetragen hat“.

- Philip Julian Klass (November 8, 1919 – August 9, 2005) was an American journalist, and UFO researcher, known for his skepticism regarding UFOs. In the ufological and skeptical communities, Klass inspires polarized appraisals. He has been called the "Sherlock Holmes of UFOlogy". Klass demonstrated "the crusader's zeal for what seems 'right,' regardless of whether it brings popular acclaim," a trait he claimed his father instilled in him. "I've found," said Klass, "that roughly 97, 98 percent of the people who report seeing UFOs are fundamentally intelligent, honest people who have seen something—usually at night, in darkness—that is unfamiliar, that they cannot explain." The rest, he said, were frauds. Longtime ufologist James W. Moseley illustrated the ambivalence many UFO researchers feel about Klass. On the one hand, Moseley argued that Klass was sincere in his motives and that his work ultimately benefited the field of Ufology. In his memoirs, Moseley contended that, when pressed, most leading ufologists would admit that Klass knew the subject and the people involved and was welcomed, or at least pleasantly tolerated, at UFO meetings. However, Moseley also wrote that he and Klass "have had and continue to have intense doctrinal and factual disagreements, and there are things about Phil's 'style', like his attack on James E. McDonald, that I do not admire or agree with." In a 1999 interview, fellow debunker Gary Posner wrote that despite some recent health problems, the 80-year-old "Klass's mind—and pen—remain razor sharp, to the delight of his grateful followers and to the constant vexation (or worse) of his legions of detractors."
