Watch the skies: Project Blue Book comes to TV

It sounds as if the History Channel has done their now typical sensationalized botch job.  I am, however, reading some of the links in the NYT article, and they make for interesting reading.

A channel that runs ANCIENT ALIENS should be taken seriously when it runs a show on Project Blue Book? :rofl:

45 or so years ago Jack Webb of DRAGNET fame did a short-lived series about Blue Book .... it was probably more accurate ..... save for changing names to protect the innocent.   

I just take this as Sci Fi stuff.

Back in the 1970s there was a show called Project U.F.O. that was based on the Blue Book.

I'm pretty sure that's the one that Jack Webb was involved in.

I remember watching it; I also remember that it wasn't particularly good.

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

I've followed some of it.  UFO paranoia is a deep, deep rabbit hole.
