'Project Blue Book': The truth behind the History Channel series is stranger than fiction

A tug-of-war between the government and a scholar about a truth neither can deny or prove, is what forms the basis of the show

History Channel is about to disclose one of the world's most classified files in its upcoming Robert Zemeckis-produced show, 'Project Blue Book'. Starring Aidan Gillen ('Game of Thrones') and Michael Malarkey ('The Vampire Diaries'), the series will bring back the highly classified incidents that led to the formation of the controversial Project Blue Book in 1952 but collapsed in 1969 when evidence failed to turn in the favor of what scientists were expecting to be UFO interventions.

Picking up on the true story about the UFO conspiracies, which were kept classified by the government for the longest time, 'Project Blue Book' centers around J. Allen Hynek (played by Gillen), the man who spearheaded the entire investigation as an adviser.
