'Project Blue Book' Season 1 Episode 4 will see General Harding spearheading the highly secretive 'Operation Paperclip'

He is a war veteran with many medals to his name, but he is possibly up to something that could bring shame to all his honor
UPDATED JAN 29, 2019

Every story needs a villain, and 'Project Blue Book' has found its ideal villain in Neal McDonough's character, General James Harding. Starring alongside Aidan Gillen as Dr. J Allen Hynek, Michael Malarkey as Captain Quinn, Laura Mennell as Mimi Hynek, and Ksenia Solo as Susie Miller, General Harding is the stark representation of everything that went wrong with Project Blue Book.

Based on the real-life General Harding, who served as squadron commander for a 400-person unit at Lackland Air Force Base and as an A-1 Skyraider combat squadron commander, the character in the Robert Zemeckis-produced show has been painted in a much darker shade.
