Now declassified, the most intriguing of these unsolved cases are revisited in the History Channel series "Project Blue Book." Premiering tonight (Jan. 8) at 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. CT., the show offers UFO aficionados and skeptics alike a peek at how it all began.
Unidentified flying objects (UFOs) have long inspired curiosity and speculation, but when did our fascination with UFOs really take off? A new television drama explores the origins of the UFO phenomenon, drawing from the incredible true story of the U.S. government’s decades-long investigation of reported UFO encounters.
The secret program — dubbed Project Blue Book — launched in 1952 and was monitored by the U.S. Air Force until the project's termination in 1969. During that time, experts investigated more than 12,000 reports of UFO sightings, of which over 700 remain unexplained, according to records in the National Archives.
Aidan Gillen (Littlefinger on HBO's "Game of Thrones") stars as Dr. J. Allen Hynek, the real-life professor and astrophysicist who acted as the science adviser for Project Blue Book, and who is known to many as the "father of UFOlogy," show creator and executive producer David O'Leary told Live Science.
In the series, Hynek joins Air Force officials to investigate and explain sightings of peculiar lights in the sky, mysterious glowing fireballs, "flying saucers" and even purported extraterrestrials, History Channel representatives said in a statement.
But as "Project Blue Book" unfolds, Hynek comes to an unpleasant realization: His scientific curiosity about UFOs may run counter to a government agenda that wants to bury events that prove unthreatening, but nonetheless truly defy explanation, O'Leary said.

I believe many of those were based on actual reports from those who allegedly saw these craft.
I love the way Jack Webb narrates it in the video.
was sad
There is a whole “Project Bluebook” set of books/records at the National Archives at College Park, Md., Room 2000 has the summary report and tells you where the records are located that you can order for viewing/copying.
All the “aliens” I know about live in the SW, Illinois, Minnesota, NE and the DC area. However, I have some questions about Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who looks like the Melkot in the original Star Trek series.
The actual report and Hynek’s book were more interesting than the silly show
Funny how UFOs disappeared just when 99% of the population has a phone camera capable of photographing them. Tricky little bastards!
The project is history. The shoe is not
I seen mystical things in the desert and sea.
I understand.
They are now cloaking. Lol
The halo lights in the desert, the glowing sands on the sea...

I knew a guy who lived in a remote area of Nevada and he and his wife would see what they called “Arrowhead” UFO’s. It turned out to be our stealth aircraft before they were made public.
That's because Sensa Stark set him up real good.
Arya. Love me some bad you know what Arya. You know Arya is good when she gave Brienne of Tarth a good workout.
I recall seeing that very episode when it originally aired. I was just a kid and had a fascination for UFOs.
Oh they don’t do that stuff over nyc
Found this update on it:
Odd coincidence, that.
