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.

What do you think? Do you like the Project Blue Book TV series? Should this TV show be cancelled or renewed for another season on History?
I really enjoyed this. Looking forward to the rest of the episodes.
Renew Blue Book! It is based on fact. I like it a lot.
Saw the initial show and it appears to be quite good. My only problem is that most times the background sound, which continuously plays, drowns out the words of the characters. Would be nice if someone could get control of this. The Air Force Captain overacts his role but I can get around that.
Having separate channels on your sound system and increasing the center channel volume should correct this. I’m not sure who your provider is. But I didn’t have this problem.
