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?
Renew for season 3
Top notch television. Great dramatization of real world events in the Unidentified Flying Object investigations in the United States. Interesting Russian counter espionage aspects. Ready for Season 3 now!
Love the show. It has everything – action, drama, mystery, intrigue. Great show.
Please keep the series alive…it’s a worthy dramatization of actual Blue Book files.
My wife and I LOVE the show.
I like Project Blue Book show, acting is great. I like the way the stories show the possible true events, with the ones that can be explained. I would like to see the show last up until the death of Professor H..
I believe Project Blue Book is a well written and well acted out series. I do hope that it continues for a Season 3, anyway. It covers an era that many do not know much about or have any perspective on. I believe a Season 3 could bring the Blue Book era through the Eisenhower and brief Kennedy years, perhaps closing as the Johnson Administration leads to the Nixon years, and the official end on the Blue Book era (1952 to 1969.). I understand that the 1960 s has a lot of unexplainable UFO events. I guess we’ll see what… Read more »
Very entertaining. Lots of possibilities. Hope it gets renewed.
best tv show in years, hope this carrys on for 10 more seasons at least
A great TV Show..so good I bought Season One on DVD
Husband and I were enjoying it …then….nothing. Would like to see it continue.
So happy to see the new season of PBB. It is realistic, thoughtful, and compelling. Even though it follows history as best it can it still is a great show. Keep up the good shows.
As someone who was “debriefed” by Project Blue Book while I was part of the US military I can say it was not pleasant.
You mean Briefed right?? As opposed to ‘debriefed’ … yeah so u was
This series is wonderful waiting on new season to start.
Really enjoy this show and subject matter. Please continue it and when does season 2 start?
I remember Blue Book, as a kid, from the 50’s. I found the program by accident. Love it.
Please DON’T cancel.
