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?
One of the better shows on all of TV. All the reality shows on History go no where. At least the Project Blue is based somewhat on what happen.
The only show I recorded so I didn’t miss it. History channel messed up again.
You mean the Pawn Stars Channel (formally the History Channel) has cancelled Project Blue Book? I guess the Men in Black paid the executives a visit.
I was wondering the same thing
I feel it was one of the best shows the History Channel had to offer. Really tired of the never ending reality shows they feature. Too bad, I’ll find another Channel with more quality programming to offer
It’s a great show and I don’t think it should have been canceled . I hope they change their mind or at least someone else picks it up. I can’t believe you canceled this and vikings too. Also your cancelling it on a cliff hanger and leaving everybody hanging. Why can’t you people at least have the decency to give these shows an ending? You keep all these crappy shows on that is the same stuff week after week ( pawn stars, American pickers, oak island,etc.) All the reality shows get to stay year after year, but the good shows… Read more »
Totally Agree!
SPOT ON!!! AND WELL SAID!!! this man speaks sense. American pickers ive seen every episode about 5 times. Oak island is seriously boring. Every classic car show has been repeated and repeated no matter how similar one is from the last.. History Channel is NOTHING like it used to be!! Project Blue Book was to good for History. It could literally be turned into a blockbuster movie. (**MESSAGE FOR THE PRODUCERS**) Take your absolute winner of a series to a decent network and ask them to show the two seasons thats already been on History and then the 3rd while… Read more »
amen!!!
we need to get together people and tell history channel to put blue book back on
pls go to http://www.change.org for the save blue book petition posted by carsten krikorka–join over 13,000 fans signing and posting their opinions about pbb. there are also news updates from producers etc.
Project Blue Book is so great, and reflects the times then and now as to the existence of life out there!…..The actors are just perfect in their rolls, and my friends and I have fell in love & admiration of them……..There is so much garbage shows out there, and this is totally different and educational. (not another police get bad guy show!)…..Those real guys the show portrays were way ahead of their time, and this show is ahead of other shows out there, there is no competition !! Please keep it going!
Would hate to see the show prematurely end, but corporate content promoters often miss the mark when consumed by quantitative rather than qualitative response to a series. I bought the seasons through Apple TV and will continue to do so as long as it’s out there. The show takes some liberties with events, but always manages to pepper hostile oppression with the promise of revelation – enough to buy the next season. Perhaps the whole idea of huge content monopolies will someday be replaced by direct to consumer marketplace where viewer dollars – not MBAs – determine what is seen… Read more »
best show with all the action and intrigue and a great story line
I am really enjoying this show… love how the actual news/reports are matched at the end of each show… many people have never heard of these events/reports! KEEP GOING!!!!
We never miss an episode of project blue book love the show cant wait for new season
Love Project
Blue Book please renew may stories left to tell. Based on true investigations, makes it better.
Love Project Blue Bok
I love Project Blue Book. It is a refreshing look at the whole UFO phenomenon. Whilst dealing with the very real threat of Russian invasion. Is it UFO or Russians or both?
I look forward to this show each week. Please renew!!
