'Project Blue Book' season 1 episode 3: The truth behind The Lubbock Lights from 1951
History's latest series 'Project Blue Book' is just three weeks old and has already set itself a class apart when it comes to the aliens and UFOs genre. Mingling historical facts with nuanced fiction, the show from Oscar winner Robert Zemeckis and starring Aidan Gillen as Dr. J Allen Hynek - the real-life astrophysicist involved in the titular investigation that was undertaken by the US Air Force in the 50s - shows Dr. Hynek trying to unfurl the truth behind a sudden surge of mysterious extra-terrestrial sightings back in the time.
And much like its last two episodes, the third episode will show Dr. Hynek, and his Air Force counterpart Captain Michael Quinn (Michael Malarkey) attempt to divulge the truth behind yet another true but mysterious phenomenon from 1951, called The Lubbock Lights.
This week’s all new episode of #ProjectBlueBook delves into the true story of the Lubbock Lights phenomenon. The case will be illuminated on @History Tuesday at 10/9c. pic.twitter.com/QAb1Uk93ok
