TV show description:
Inspired by the personal experiences of Dr. J. Allen Hynek (Gillen), the Project Blue Book TV series is a scripted drama series, based on the real-life, top-secret investigation into Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and related activity, conducted in the 1950s and ’60s by the United States Air Force.
The story centers on Hynek, a top-notch college professor, married to the loyal Mimi (Mennell). The Air Force recruits Allen to lead its secret operation, code name Project Blue Book. On behalf of the government, he then researches thousands of cases — and hundreds of them still remain unsolved. Each episode uses actual case files and UFO theories, with historical events serving as the backdrop.
Hynek works under General James Harding (McDonough), a confident man with keen insight who oversees the Project Blue Book division. In turn, General Hugh Valentine (Harney), keeps a close eye on Harding and the new project.
Cases explored during the series include the West Virginia Flatwoods Monster Incident; the Fargo, North Dakota Gorman Dogfight; Texas’ Lubbock Lights; and the Chiles-Whitted UFO Incident of Montgomery, Alabama. While delving into these occurrences, it also examines issues including trust, instinct, real news vs. fake, and government coverups, as well as the unknown.
Series Finale:
Episode #20 — Operation Mainbrace
When UFOs and USOs (unidentified submersible objects) begin plaguing a massive naval exercise on the border of Russian waters, Hynek and Quinn realize it’s up to them to stop a rogue Admiral from starting World War III.
First aired: March 24, 2020.
What do you think? Do you like the Project Blue Book TV series? Should this TV show have been cancelled or renewed for a third season on History?
Very disappointed Project Bluebook ended after only 2 seasons. Very good and interesting show not to mention unique. Really should be at least a season 3. Big mistake to cancel it.
It should have a third season at least.
Love this show, the acting, directing, and story line and I know others who do too!. I hope it comes back as it is well done.
BTW… whoever was involved in cancellation of Project Bluebook NEEDS to be FIRED..
If.. it’s the CEO… Replace that individual…
I’ll come in and fire them all…
Who’s the “brainiac” that made this decision? Would Love to meet you..
This is one of the best shows The History Channel has aired in year’s.
Ancient Aliens, Project Bluebook and The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch by far give
Facts, Real-time and makes you think!
The History Channel credits. Hopefully, Netflix will get the contract. God, your loosing out! Behind the times, without any doubt.
Another, beyond dumb decession!
Keep handing the money to Netflix..
They are thanking you!
My husband and I really loved the show. We have been waiting for the 3rd season as promised but I am very disappointed and disturbed by the show’s cancellation. It really needs to be put back on ASAP, because people have the right to know what our government is hiding from us., even if the show is not entirely accurate. We will probably never know the truth
Was very enjoyable and entertaining. Please bring it back, I say it beat the competition hands down.
I really enjoyed the series and am very disappointed that it was cancelled . I hope that another network will pick up the show or better yet History Channel brings back the show
I was enjoying this show and it dramatizes the fact that UFOs are real. It’s sad that people are too busy sending tweets to watch. At least bring back Hanger 1
Great show. I have been waiting anxiously for the return. Very sad!
Great show. I do not know why it was cancelled. Please bring it back.
No.. I was looking forward to the next season! How disappointing 🙁
Bring this show back!!!!! I can not believe it was cancelled
