'Project Blue Book': Episode 5 is cringeworthy, but Hynek remains the hero of the story

Hynek has been unable to cooperate with the government when it comes to maintaining secrecy, but is that all the show is about?
PUBLISHED FEB 5, 2019

History Channel's 'Project Blue Book' has seen a steep decline in its viewership rating and it can be said the show's tendency to treat fiction with greater verity than truth has resulted in its downfall. It seems that with every episode, the story keeps getting more unreal and that is exactly what went wrong with Episode 5, titled 'The Foo Fighters'.

Starring Aidan Gillen as Dr. J Allen Hynek, Michael Malarkey as Captain Michael Quinn, Laura Mennell as Mimi Hynek, Ksenia Solo as Susie Miller, and Neal McDonough as General James Harding, each episode of the show is based on a true incident that contributed largely to the UFO conspiracies of the early 1950s.
