'Project Blue Book': Alien conspiracies, bold female portrayals, and a strange friendship are what you can expect in Episode 1

The story is old and full of facts, which makes it an almost uncomfortable yet compelling watch as it dives deep into alien conspiracies
PUBLISHED JAN 8, 2019

History Channel's harrowing take on the UFO conspiracies of the late 1950s is set to air on Tuesday, January 8, at 10 pm. Starring Aiden Gillen, Michael Malarkey, Ksenia Solo, Neal McDonough, and Laura Mennell, 'Project Blue Book' will throw light on the incidents which led to large-scale conspiracy theories about the existence of aliens. At the center of it all is Doctor J. Allen Hynek, played by Gillen, who is hired by the US Air Force to work alongside Captain Michael Quinn, played by Malarkey, when a civilian pilot informs the airforce about a strange unearthly incident he encountered while flying his private jet.

Episode One kicks off with this uncanny tale where Hynek and Quinn agree upon a rather tumultuous partnership which will only lead them to discover truths they were never prepared for.
