History Channel's Project Bluebook: Review

Project Bluebook, starring Aiden Gillen (Game of Thrones), is about a top secret investigation of Doctor Hynek and the Air Force.  Their goal is to find out if unidentified flying saucers are real.  The first show of the series begins with the doctor's involvement of the investigation.  The Air Force originally asks him to scientifically explain the sightings reported by pilots.  He is told to say the pilots saw weather balloons or enemy weapons in the sky.  Doctor Hynek is not willing to be the Air Force's "yes" man.  He believes the pilots are seeing UFOs.  According to the script, it is Hynek who coined the phrase UFO.  The doctor gets a pilot to take him up in the air and watch a weather balloon.  The two men crash.  

My Review: I love conspiracy theories so I am immediately hooked on this new series.  Can't wait to watch it tonight as it airs every Tuesday on the History Channel.  The website for the show is really cool.  Project Blue Book Full Episodes, Video & More | HISTORY  There are a variety of tabs that go with the real story of Project Bluebook, Men in Black, the Flatwoods Monster, and alien sightings.  The real Project Bluebook "concluded" that there was no evidence about the legitimacy of UFOs.  Do you believe?

That looks like a cool show. UFOs, weather balloons, the Air Force - it got that Roswell theme to it. As a pilot I haven't seen anything amiss but I'm sure there is more to the universe than human life. Great mini-review!
