The series shares the aforementioned name as the real-life U.South. Air Strength investigation into unidentified flying objects (UFOs), which was called Project Bluish Book. That investigation launched in 1952 and connected until 1969. Experts examined more than than 12,000 UFO sightings (of which more than than 700 are still unexplained), co-ordinate to serial creator and executive producer David O'Leary.

"For me, UFOs have been a lifelong obsession," he told Space.com. "I have e'er been fascinated past the question [of] 'Are we solitary in the universe? And I never felt you could honestly answer that question without examining the UFO issue."
O'Leary said through his research on Project Blue Book, he became convinced that at that place "really is a phenomenon" of UFOs, even though experts often debunk the purported sightings, or say that the beingness of UFOs doesn't necessarily mean that aliens are in our airspace.
"In one case I learned the chief of scientific consultants for the U.S. Air Force [J. Allen Hynek] and the get-go director of that program [Edward J. Ruppelt] both became convinced through this program that UFOs are real and stand for a truthful scientific mystery and worthy of true scientific study, something clicked for me. This is unbelievable. So this is a drama series that examines this programme through the eyes of these two men."
O'Leary has spent many hours reading the start-hand research from both Blueish Book, via the declassified documents in Hynek's book "The UFO Experience" (Regnery, 1972), and from contained UFO historians. The producer as well interviewed the last living manager of Blue Book — Robert J. Friend, who died in June 2019 at historic period 99. Friend not only provided details of the investigations, but also discussed matters such as what the projection's offices looked similar. His testimony helped with the sets on the show, O'Leary said.
Some of the more famous examples of Blue Book investigations include the Roswell incident (in which a purported UFO crashed virtually Roswell, Due north.M.) and Area 51, Nev., a acme-secret military testing basis that some people say is linked to alien research.
Season 1 of Project Blue Volume ran betwixt January and March 2019, with ten episodes — each one examining a UFO conspiracy in detail. Some of the stories examined include:
- A reported UFO "dogfight" over Fargo, N.D.,, in 1948, which some say was a conditions balloon — although O'Leary's enquiry indicated that there was a more ambiguous explanation. "It's a pretty intense and incredible sequence, where the pilot engages with this aircraft that seems to maneuver like null he's ever seen before," O'Leary said.
- A discussion almost "foo fighters," or foreign aerial phenomena that Allied aircraft pilots reported during the Second World War . Theories virtually these sightings range from aerial phenomena to fighter pilot fatigue. That said, Friend was a former foo fighter and O'Leary said that the old pilot genuinely believed that he saw something in the heaven.
- The "Washington Merry-Go-Circular" incident in 1952, when something breached restricted air space in Washington, D.C., two weekends in a row, sparking President Harry Truman's administration to scramble fighter jets, O'Leary said. "Nosotros nonetheless have no thought what they were.
O'Leary added that the show tries not to bear witness the same kind of UFO sightings in each episode; some have focused on matters such as an "10-Files"-like hunt of something in the forest, people who felt that they fabricated telepathic connections with aliens, and a Kentucky family unit reporting an alien home invasion.
While a Flavour 3 hasn't been confirmed yet, O'Leary said the show's squad would be interested in producing more episodes. "We accept a lot of new ideas, and areas to explore," he said, once more pointing to the hundreds of unresolved cases under Project Blue Volume.
