'Project Blue Book': Stark contrast between Michael Quinn and Dr J Allen Hynek will be a major focus of the show

From the viewers' perspective, the nuanced display of Quinn's restraint in the project, highlights Hynek's eccentric nature

History channel's upcoming show, 'Project Blue Book' has it all. Based on the real-life phenomenon that saw over 12,000 alleged alien and UFO sightings reported back in the '50s in and around the Washington DC area, the story is a recount of Dr. J. Allen Hynek - the only civilian involved in the project - and his journey of skepticism and faith in the existence of extra-terrestrials.

Another significant aspect of the show that sets it apart from regular shows of the alien genre is how it digs deeper into the lives of the people involved in the case, as it divulges nuances of trust and relationships beyond the topic of aliens.
