'Project Blue Book': Dr. J. Allen Hynek is in the center of an alien consipracy in History Channel's teaser

Alongwith his skeptical partner, Captain Quinn, Hynek will unravel the biggest controversy in the history of scientific investigation.

History Channel is about to disclose one of the world's most well-known scientist's plight in its upcoming Robert Zemeckis-produced show, 'Project Blue Book'. Starring Aidan Gillen, ('Game of Thrones') as Dr. Allen Hynek and Michael Malarkey ('The Vampire Diaries') as Captain Michael Quinn, 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.

In the center of this extremely controversial project was Dr. Hynek, then the 37-year-old director ofOhio State University’s McMillin Observatory, whose experiences cannot be described as anything but being at the right place at the right time. In the teaser for the show, which has been shared by History Channel, Hynek is seen positioned in the center of the mystery surrounding the highly classified alien encounters that took America by the throat in the early '50s. The teaser opens with Gillen introducing himself as the doctor who is a member of Project Blue Book, who, as he claims, "investigate unidentified aerial phenomena."
