'Project Blue Book' episode 7: 'The Scoutmaster' could feature the influence of communism in the hunt for aliens

It isn't a surprise, since the time period of the show, the 1950s-60s, saw an emergence of several theories which suggested communism can only be established by alien intervention

We were introduced to Michael Imperioli's character Edward Rizzuto in Episode 6, titled 'The Green Fireballs' in History Channel's, 'Project Blue Book'. Coming from producer Robert Zemeckis, the show follows the real accounts of UFO sightings that were being investigated by Dr. J Allen Hynek (played by Aidan Gillen) and Captain Michael Quinn (played by Michael Malarkey) under the command of the U.S. Air Force. The show has brought in several characters who are dubious in nature, and Edward is no different. 

He initially posed as a man determined to seek revenge on the woman who had broken his heart, but it is soon revealed Edward is actually a soldier at the White Sands Missile Base, who was basically trying to watch over the work being carried out by Hynek and Quinn. Nothing much was revealed about this character in the episode, but it seems that the character will have an interesting story to tell in Episode 7.
