lot of weird stuff so we 30 00:01:31,969 --> 00:01:29,009 covered you know cryptids we did UFOs we 31 00:01:35,570 --> 00:01:31,979 did ghos we the whole gambit so yeah a 32 00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:35,580 lot of government projects and and even 33 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:37,110 got a little bit into conspiracy 34 00:01:42,169 --> 00:01:39,170 theories a bit but mostly focused on 35 00:01:44,029 --> 00:01:42,179 actual confirmed government projects 36 00:01:45,199 --> 00:01:44,039 looking into the paranormal absolutely I 37 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:45,209 think people really like hearing about 38 00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:47,130 though it's a fun topic we love talking 39 00:01:51,919 --> 00:01:49,200 about it I could go on all day about it 40 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:51,929 that's right well on that topic let's 41 00:01:56,210 --> 00:01:53,970 get into this week's project Bluebook 42 00:01:57,109 --> 00:01:56,220 discussion if you haven't seen it yet or 43 00:01:58,880 --> 00:01:57,119 you're not familiar with this show 44 00:02:00,949 --> 00:01:58,890 Project Blue Book is a dramatic series 45 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:00,959 on the History Channel it's a fictional 46 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:03,090 series but it's based on the US air 47 00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:05,130 force's real-life official study that 48 00:02:10,850 --> 00:02:08,640 ran from 1952 through 1969 and although 49 00:02:13,220 --> 00:02:10,860 the show is fictional it draws on real 50 00:02:15,110 --> 00:02:13,230 Project Blue Book cases and from other 51 00:02:17,780 --> 00:02:15,120 elements from UFO history and UFO lore 52 00:02:20,570 --> 00:02:17,790 using these for inspiration we're 53 00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:20,580 talking about episode 10 today the final 54 00:02:25,790 --> 00:02:23,520 episode in season 1 the episode is 55 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:25,800 titled the Washington merry-go-round and 56 00:02:30,350 --> 00:02:28,530 as we like to do before talking about 57 00:02:32,300 --> 00:02:30,360 the episode itself we'll do a quick 58 00:02:34,010 --> 00:02:32,310 run-through of the real inspiration 59 00:02:36,679 --> 00:02:34,020 behind the latest episode of Project 60 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:36,689 Blue Book and the inspiration used for 61 00:02:41,580 --> 00:02:38,170 the plot of 62 00:02:45,449 --> 00:02:41,590 so 10 was Maureen 63 00:02:48,420 --> 00:02:45,459 it was the 1952 Washington UFO flap or 64 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:48,430 sometimes known as the Washington DC UFO 65 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:50,890 incident now this is an interesting case 66 00:02:57,809 --> 00:02:54,250 because we have multiple witnesses and 67 00:03:00,240 --> 00:02:57,819 it happened over two full weekends so 68 00:03:03,930 --> 00:03:00,250 basically what happened is on July 12th 69 00:03:05,670 --> 00:03:03,940 and 19th again in 1952 there was an air 70 00:03:07,979 --> 00:03:05,680 traffic controller at the Washington 71 00:03:10,860 --> 00:03:07,989 National Airport called named Edward 72 00:03:13,470 --> 00:03:10,870 Nugent he all of a sudden spotted seven 73 00:03:15,059 --> 00:03:13,480 objects and on his radar and the 74 00:03:17,370 --> 00:03:15,069 movement was kind of erratic and they 75 00:03:19,559 --> 00:03:17,380 weren't sure what it is and he knew that 76 00:03:22,130 --> 00:03:19,569 it compared to normal air traffic this 77 00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:22,140 was something out of the ordinary and 78 00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:24,910 Nugent's superior also watched the 79 00:03:28,740 --> 00:03:28,209 objects on his radar scope so something 80 00:03:30,930 --> 00:03:28,750 was weird 81 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:30,940 they both collaborated together they 82 00:03:35,940 --> 00:03:33,130 called the control tower who also 83 00:03:38,850 --> 00:03:35,950 spotted the unidentified blips and they 84 00:03:41,580 --> 00:03:38,860 also spied it excuse me spotted a bright 85 00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:41,590 light in the sky that was Suman off at a 86 00:03:46,890 --> 00:03:44,769 fast rate of speed so other objects 87 00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:46,900 appeared they went over the White House 88 00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:49,239 and the Capitol and you can imagine 89 00:03:54,990 --> 00:03:51,910 during this time seeing unknown objects 90 00:04:00,060 --> 00:03:55,000 over the Capitol tends to spread a 91 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:00,070 little bit of concern for anybody but so 92 00:04:05,460 --> 00:04:02,530 this is all spotted the US Air Force 93 00:04:07,890 --> 00:04:05,470 sends out some f-94 starfire jet 94 00:04:10,289 --> 00:04:07,900 fighters from Delaware good old Delaware 95 00:04:12,170 --> 00:04:10,299 and they arrived in the objects vanished 96 00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:12,180 and they couldn't find them 97 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:15,310 disappeared from the radar and then once 98 00:04:21,630 --> 00:04:18,250 the Jets decided to leave they appeared 99 00:04:23,159 --> 00:04:21,640 back so what happened in an interesting 100 00:04:25,159 --> 00:04:23,169 thing and you're gonna we'll talk about 101 00:04:27,630 --> 00:04:25,169 this too that appeared in the show is 102 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:27,640 Captain rappel from the project Bluebook 103 00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:30,370 was in Washington DC at the time he did 104 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:32,560 not see the objects and he didn't 105 00:04:36,570 --> 00:04:34,450 actually find out about this but I find 106 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:36,580 this very curious he did not find out 107 00:04:40,620 --> 00:04:38,650 about this until he read a newspaper 108 00:04:42,930 --> 00:04:40,630 headline on Monday that said saucers 109 00:04:46,010 --> 00:04:42,940 swarm the Capitol and if you're running 110 00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:46,020 a government investigation program about 111 00:04:49,860 --> 00:04:48,550 UFOs and they're swarming the Capitol 112 00:04:51,780 --> 00:04:49,870 and you do not know 113 00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:51,790 you're not informed about this that's 114 00:04:57,060 --> 00:04:55,510 pretty crazy so of course he's still in 115 00:04:59,190 --> 00:04:57,070 Washington DC's like I want to 116 00:05:01,350 --> 00:04:59,200 investigate this can I please have a 117 00:05:03,420 --> 00:05:01,360 government car and they basically said 118 00:05:06,690 --> 00:05:03,430 no they said if you want to use your 119 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:06,700 personal money go for it but we're not 120 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:09,970 giving you a car and he was pissed off 121 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:13,090 rightly so I think so he's pissed off he 122 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:17,650 goes back to his base and decides like 123 00:05:22,770 --> 00:05:20,650 screw everyone a radar specialist also 124 00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:22,780 at wright-patterson Air Force Base then 125 00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:26,110 suggested that these were indeed just a 126 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:27,850 phenomenon dealing with weather 127 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:30,250 inclement weather basically there was 128 00:05:37,620 --> 00:05:34,210 temperature inversion to blame so people 129 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:37,630 are like alright whatever then a week 130 00:05:42,210 --> 00:05:38,490 later 131 00:05:44,250 --> 00:05:42,220 dun-dun-dun a pilot and flight attendant 132 00:05:46,740 --> 00:05:44,260 over the weekend of July 26 through the 133 00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:46,750 27th observed strange lights above the 134 00:05:52,830 --> 00:05:50,290 plane radar centers at both the National 135 00:05:54,330 --> 00:05:52,840 Airport and Andrews Air Force Base also 136 00:05:56,460 --> 00:05:54,340 tracked these unknown objects so 137 00:05:59,220 --> 00:05:56,470 basically they returned and they were 138 00:06:01,230 --> 00:05:59,230 all over the place they were moving in 139 00:06:03,890 --> 00:06:01,240 various methods sometimes at speeds up 140 00:06:07,140 --> 00:06:03,900 to 7,000 miles per hour 141 00:06:10,050 --> 00:06:07,150 obviously not normal aircraft so again 142 00:06:12,810 --> 00:06:10,060 they send out these f94 fighter jets and 143 00:06:15,690 --> 00:06:12,820 they chased what they could you know 144 00:06:18,350 --> 00:06:15,700 bogeys below a thousand feet and they 145 00:06:20,940 --> 00:06:18,360 said there was white glowing objects and 146 00:06:22,950 --> 00:06:20,950 two more jets were scrambled out and 147 00:06:26,460 --> 00:06:22,960 they couldn't figure out what this stuff 148 00:06:28,530 --> 00:06:26,470 was so then the president's like alright 149 00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:28,540 this is two weekends what's going on so 150 00:06:33,050 --> 00:06:30,400 President Harry Truman is like somebody 151 00:06:36,750 --> 00:06:33,060 please explain to me what these are and 152 00:06:39,870 --> 00:06:36,760 basically Project Blue Book came out 153 00:06:43,410 --> 00:06:39,880 with that these were the result of 154 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:43,420 temperature inversion plus misidentified 155 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:47,050 meteors stars and city lights so clearly 156 00:06:51,420 --> 00:06:49,330 they kind of toss this all up and it 157 00:06:53,990 --> 00:06:51,430 blows my mind also that that this is a 158 00:06:56,220 --> 00:06:54,000 case that had such a national 159 00:06:59,340 --> 00:06:56,230 recognition and it was super important 160 00:07:01,590 --> 00:06:59,350 over the Capitol and then they're just 161 00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:01,600 like oh yeah just if the temperature was 162 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:02,660 weird yeah 163 00:07:07,030 --> 00:07:04,490 you know they showed that really well in 164 00:07:08,650 --> 00:07:07,040 the episode and in fact I don't know 165 00:07:11,290 --> 00:07:08,660 what do you think I think of all of the 166 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:11,300 episodes all 10 episodes this one 167 00:07:18,180 --> 00:07:15,370 probably stayed true the most and had 168 00:07:20,950 --> 00:07:18,190 more elements of the actual inspiration 169 00:07:23,530 --> 00:07:20,960 than other episodes I would completely 170 00:07:24,580 --> 00:07:23,540 agree with you we see that the 171 00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:24,590 government won't let him investigate 172 00:07:29,770 --> 00:07:26,990 this the president comes out and and 173 00:07:31,090 --> 00:07:29,780 again they they say yeah this was 174 00:07:33,550 --> 00:07:31,100 something to do with temperature but 175 00:07:36,190 --> 00:07:33,560 then they of course have to tie in this 176 00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:36,200 mystery men and black element where he's 177 00:07:41,410 --> 00:07:39,710 been sent Hey Hynix been sent there 178 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:41,420 because they are coming and he's 179 00:07:46,390 --> 00:07:44,210 supposed to find that out and again we 180 00:07:51,340 --> 00:07:46,400 have these just weird glowing lights 181 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:51,350 that fly over the monument and what have 182 00:07:56,470 --> 00:07:53,930 you there was one thing that I kind of 183 00:07:58,780 --> 00:07:56,480 like and I may be stretching this a bit 184 00:08:01,330 --> 00:07:58,790 but I'm really hoping that this is why 185 00:08:04,570 --> 00:08:01,340 they put that in you know how we've seen 186 00:08:09,850 --> 00:08:04,580 elements throughout each case that ties 187 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:09,860 into little bits of you of UFO lore and 188 00:08:15,130 --> 00:08:12,050 there is a scene while they're waiting 189 00:08:17,710 --> 00:08:15,140 for the objects to appear that a kid 190 00:08:22,510 --> 00:08:17,720 throws a frisbee up in the air and I was 191 00:08:25,150 --> 00:08:22,520 like that has to be in there on purpose 192 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:25,160 because that obviously UFOs have been 193 00:08:29,740 --> 00:08:27,410 accused of being frisbees as well so 194 00:08:31,930 --> 00:08:29,750 yeah yeah a lot of the the UFO 195 00:08:34,839 --> 00:08:31,940 photographs the old UFO photographs and 196 00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:34,849 I think they've done that a lot in this 197 00:08:39,370 --> 00:08:36,710 show and it's fun I mean like we've said 198 00:08:41,380 --> 00:08:39,380 that before it's fun for you know UFO 199 00:08:43,029 --> 00:08:41,390 geeks like us those little Easter eggs 200 00:08:45,150 --> 00:08:43,039 that are thrown in here and there I 201 00:08:47,410 --> 00:08:45,160 think they're done intentionally for us 202 00:08:48,940 --> 00:08:47,420 because the people doing the show are 203 00:08:50,710 --> 00:08:48,950 you up O'Keefe's they love this stuff 204 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:50,720 and they put a lot of that little fun 205 00:08:54,810 --> 00:08:52,250 stuff in there I like it I'm sure 206 00:08:56,830 --> 00:08:54,820 denoise other people yeah of course but 207 00:08:58,750 --> 00:08:56,840 it's fun and I'm glad you brought that 208 00:09:00,550 --> 00:08:58,760 frisbee up cuz I when I saw that I was 209 00:09:01,900 --> 00:09:00,560 like yeah that's fun that was my money 210 00:09:03,550 --> 00:09:01,910 yeah that was my favorite part of the 211 00:09:05,830 --> 00:09:03,560 episode I was like oh frisbee yeah but I 212 00:09:07,710 --> 00:09:05,840 hope that's what it yeah intentional but 213 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:07,720 yeah there were there were so many 214 00:09:13,810 --> 00:09:10,490 elements of this of the real inspiration 215 00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:13,820 in this episode it was almost almost all 216 00:09:18,939 --> 00:09:15,529 of it I mean they covered it well 217 00:09:22,150 --> 00:09:18,949 I thought so I mean we didn't see that 218 00:09:25,809 --> 00:09:22,160 through you know a lot of the the season 219 00:09:27,579 --> 00:09:25,819 but like we've said I think they rushed 220 00:09:29,139 --> 00:09:27,589 a lot with this season because they had 221 00:09:30,879 --> 00:09:29,149 no idea what to expect from the show 222 00:09:33,009 --> 00:09:30,889 they didn't know if they'd get cancelled 223 00:09:34,660 --> 00:09:33,019 they did though if they'd be brought 224 00:09:38,139 --> 00:09:34,670 back and we now know that they will be 225 00:09:41,069 --> 00:09:38,149 coming back with another season what do 226 00:09:46,269 --> 00:09:41,079 you think of the the sort of cliffhanger 227 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:46,279 ending with the yeah kind of uh I don't 228 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:48,050 know I don't know how I feel about the 229 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:49,850 ending I hope they're not going 230 00:09:53,170 --> 00:09:51,410 somewhere I think they're going but I 231 00:09:55,299 --> 00:09:53,180 know I think they're going there too I 232 00:09:59,379 --> 00:09:55,309 think and I just I almost don't want to 233 00:10:01,059 --> 00:09:59,389 talk about it because I you know I when 234 00:10:03,579 --> 00:10:01,069 that came on all of a sudden it was like 235 00:10:05,410 --> 00:10:03,589 switching gears to the and like what's 236 00:10:07,379 --> 00:10:05,420 gonna happen next season and we're gonna 237 00:10:11,650 --> 00:10:07,389 start off on a really crazy now yeah 238 00:10:14,829 --> 00:10:11,660 well I did see that the creators have 239 00:10:17,769 --> 00:10:14,839 commented on that ending scene saying 240 00:10:19,869 --> 00:10:17,779 that trying to explain it a little bit 241 00:10:22,269 --> 00:10:19,879 and saying what it's not because it 242 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:22,279 clearly they set it up and it looks like 243 00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:25,490 you know they sort of activated this 244 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:27,110 beacon and they're calling the 245 00:10:33,189 --> 00:10:29,569 extraterrestrials they said that's not 246 00:10:35,049 --> 00:10:33,199 what happened that it's not a beacon 247 00:10:36,970 --> 00:10:35,059 that was activated it's not sending a 248 00:10:40,329 --> 00:10:36,980 message in calling the extraterrestrials 249 00:10:43,059 --> 00:10:40,339 so well you kind of essentially said 250 00:10:44,199 --> 00:10:43,069 that's what it was in the show but now 251 00:10:46,179 --> 00:10:44,209 you're saying that's not what's 252 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:46,189 happening so who knows what they're 253 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:47,569 doing they'll probably change their 254 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:49,730 minds too but I will say this that alien 255 00:10:56,499 --> 00:10:52,730 Con in Baltimore they sort of and this 256 00:10:59,860 --> 00:10:56,509 is before the show it even started they 257 00:11:01,600 --> 00:10:59,870 were somebody asked about you know where 258 00:11:02,980 --> 00:11:01,610 they wanted to take the show or you know 259 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:02,990 if they happen to get another season 260 00:11:07,660 --> 00:11:05,569 what they would do and I didn't like the 261 00:11:10,509 --> 00:11:07,670 answers I got back then because they 262 00:11:12,009 --> 00:11:10,519 were just you know going crazy it's been 263 00:11:14,860 --> 00:11:12,019 balling ideas and stuff but they even 264 00:11:17,879 --> 00:11:14,870 brought up the topic of like time travel 265 00:11:22,239 --> 00:11:17,889 and stuff no no please don't do that 266 00:11:23,889 --> 00:11:22,249 yeah that's a little I mean but the 267 00:11:26,169 --> 00:11:23,899 thing is is we have seen in these 268 00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:26,179 documents recently that were released in 269 00:11:32,329 --> 00:11:28,889 January that some of the things like 270 00:11:35,090 --> 00:11:32,339 it was investigating but that was a part 271 00:11:37,460 --> 00:11:35,100 of a tip was time-travel work drive so 272 00:11:39,949 --> 00:11:37,470 that was also something that was going 273 00:11:43,669 --> 00:11:39,959 on in the 50s as well so is a very good 274 00:11:46,369 --> 00:11:43,679 point it's not very good yeah but I get 275 00:11:48,590 --> 00:11:46,379 it I get that element set because we 276 00:11:49,329 --> 00:11:48,600 don't have done meet some people believe 277 00:11:55,699 --> 00:11:49,339 we do 278 00:11:58,669 --> 00:11:55,709 can actually even get close to 279 00:12:00,109 --> 00:11:58,679 time-traveling you know of course 280 00:12:02,059 --> 00:12:00,119 there's always those people that there's 281 00:12:03,739 --> 00:12:02,069 the photograph said that how was that 282 00:12:05,629 --> 00:12:03,749 cellphone in that picture he looks like 283 00:12:09,319 --> 00:12:05,639 he's talking on a phone and it was 1910 284 00:12:11,659 --> 00:12:09,329 you know but we don't really have any 285 00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:11,669 hard proof unless somebody from the 286 00:12:16,189 --> 00:12:13,769 government wants to delete a file or - 287 00:12:17,569 --> 00:12:16,199 yeah we take that but also I mean the 288 00:12:19,609 --> 00:12:17,579 thing to keep in mind that I know it's 289 00:12:21,919 --> 00:12:19,619 difficult for the show and we have to 290 00:12:23,359 --> 00:12:21,929 sort of suspend belief - but the show is 291 00:12:25,309 --> 00:12:23,369 called Project Blue Book it's supposed 292 00:12:26,479 --> 00:12:25,319 to be about Project Blue Book right and 293 00:12:28,489 --> 00:12:26,489 the people who were involved with 294 00:12:30,650 --> 00:12:28,499 Project Blue Book so when you start 295 00:12:32,119 --> 00:12:30,660 bringing these other elements into it 296 00:12:34,220 --> 00:12:32,129 that really Project Blue Book had 297 00:12:38,359 --> 00:12:34,230 nothing to do with you start stretching 298 00:12:39,829 --> 00:12:38,369 quite quite a bit and they can do that 299 00:12:41,809 --> 00:12:39,839 and they've had fun certainly what the 300 00:12:43,669 --> 00:12:41,819 episodes they've done but if they're 301 00:12:46,489 --> 00:12:43,679 getting into these other alleged 302 00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:46,499 government programs seems to be 303 00:12:51,799 --> 00:12:49,110 deviating a bit from the core of the 304 00:12:53,449 --> 00:12:51,809 show we'll see what they do I mean I'm 305 00:12:55,639 --> 00:12:53,459 excited I'll certainly watch the next 306 00:12:57,919 --> 00:12:55,649 season I mean again it's a dramatic show 307 00:13:01,909 --> 00:12:57,929 they've got a gonna add these elements I 308 00:13:04,639 --> 00:13:01,919 get it having some like consistent theme 309 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:04,649 aside from just these guys are military 310 00:13:10,429 --> 00:13:07,410 project investigating UFO cases I have a 311 00:13:11,809 --> 00:13:10,439 question for you oh yeah so you know 312 00:13:14,749 --> 00:13:11,819 obviously coming up we're gonna see a 313 00:13:16,429 --> 00:13:14,759 lot more cases and things is there a 314 00:13:19,369 --> 00:13:16,439 particular case that project Bluebook 315 00:13:22,479 --> 00:13:19,379 has investigated that you would like to 316 00:13:24,499 --> 00:13:22,489 see them cover in the upcoming season 317 00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:24,509 that's a good question and I was 318 00:13:30,470 --> 00:13:26,910 thinking about that as the season was 319 00:13:36,919 --> 00:13:30,480 was progressing and I think my real 320 00:13:38,989 --> 00:13:36,929 answer is no but I would like them to I 321 00:13:40,870 --> 00:13:38,999 guess the answer is I'd like to see them 322 00:13:43,750 --> 00:13:40,880 better depicting 323 00:13:45,850 --> 00:13:43,760 a true unknown and not making it so like 324 00:13:47,710 --> 00:13:45,860 over-the-top extraterrestrial mm-hmm 325 00:13:50,830 --> 00:13:47,720 right because that's a lot of what they 326 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:50,840 did investigate they've done a and maybe 327 00:13:56,470 --> 00:13:54,410 even showing a little better of knowns 328 00:13:58,930 --> 00:13:56,480 to because even the ones they've been 329 00:14:02,050 --> 00:13:58,940 able to identify have been super crazy 330 00:14:04,180 --> 00:14:02,060 and kind of hard to believe but they 331 00:14:06,930 --> 00:14:04,190 come up with the the easy explanations 332 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:06,940 but a lot of Project Blue Book was 333 00:14:10,690 --> 00:14:09,290 investigating things that turned out to 334 00:14:12,820 --> 00:14:10,700 be a whole lot of nothing and just 335 00:14:16,930 --> 00:14:12,830 everyday things so I like that being 336 00:14:18,370 --> 00:14:16,940 shown but the true unknowns also and I 337 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:18,380 don't know how they would do that I mean 338 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:20,090 I guess I'm asking the impossible but 339 00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:23,210 I'd like to show them so one of the true 340 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:25,910 owned owns but not have it be so like 341 00:14:31,090 --> 00:14:28,610 sci-fi II and yeah terrestrial I mean I 342 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:31,100 don't think showing in like something 343 00:14:35,710 --> 00:14:32,890 that they solve right away that we're 344 00:14:37,390 --> 00:14:35,720 positive is you know you're right every 345 00:14:39,340 --> 00:14:37,400 case has been like oh if they give an 346 00:14:42,820 --> 00:14:39,350 explanation but then there's still 347 00:14:45,670 --> 00:14:42,830 clearly they're saying it's not right so 348 00:14:47,500 --> 00:14:45,680 yeah I think that if they covered maybe 349 00:14:49,270 --> 00:14:47,510 a few cases at the beginning that had 350 00:14:52,030 --> 00:14:49,280 explanations and they could actually 351 00:14:52,990 --> 00:14:52,040 that was tangible and get those out of 352 00:14:56,110 --> 00:14:53,000 the way and then they get to an 353 00:14:56,770 --> 00:14:56,120 anomalous unknown that that would be 354 00:14:59,410 --> 00:14:56,780 nice 355 00:15:00,970 --> 00:14:59,420 it'd also be cool if they you know 356 00:15:04,540 --> 00:15:00,980 showed more the scope of project 357 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:04,550 Bluebook and and you know how it was 358 00:15:08,380 --> 00:15:06,290 more than just two people right yeah 359 00:15:11,140 --> 00:15:08,390 yeah yeah that's a very good point there 360 00:15:13,540 --> 00:15:11,150 was basically a project Bluebook person 361 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:13,550 at every single Air Force Base across 362 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:16,850 the country and I mean I think a lot of 363 00:15:20,860 --> 00:15:19,250 people don't realize like what why is it 364 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:20,870 named Project Blue Book well it was 365 00:15:25,810 --> 00:15:23,210 based off of the little notebooks that 366 00:15:29,380 --> 00:15:25,820 people would write the notes on and then 367 00:15:31,270 --> 00:15:29,390 send to the to the leaders of project 368 00:15:32,770 --> 00:15:31,280 Bluebook yeah it was a huge program it 369 00:15:35,110 --> 00:15:32,780 was a huge program so many people 370 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:35,120 involved in it and the personnel changed 371 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:36,890 over the years too I mean it was a 372 00:15:41,260 --> 00:15:39,770 long-running program and yeah it's kind 373 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:41,270 of a revolving door at times too but 374 00:15:45,700 --> 00:15:43,370 yeah it would be nice to show that but 375 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:45,710 again up to people that do research if 376 00:15:49,510 --> 00:15:47,090 they want to find out more about Project 377 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:49,520 Blue Book for sure I'm kind of hoping 378 00:15:53,180 --> 00:15:52,490 that we get a see our buddy Lonnie Z in 379 00:15:55,970 --> 00:15:53,190 his 380 00:15:58,189 --> 00:15:55,980 police sightings that would be cool yeah 381 00:16:00,439 --> 00:15:58,199 I could do some interesting things with 382 00:16:03,439 --> 00:16:00,449 that with like the egg-shaped UFO and 383 00:16:05,389 --> 00:16:03,449 you know because I've seen other people 384 00:16:07,670 --> 00:16:05,399 comment on this too and I don't know if 385 00:16:11,269 --> 00:16:07,680 it was for budget reasons or what else 386 00:16:14,389 --> 00:16:11,279 but I would like to see a non ball of 387 00:16:15,949 --> 00:16:14,399 light UFO exactly yeah because they 388 00:16:18,530 --> 00:16:15,959 certainly did investigate those yeah 389 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:18,540 absolutely that's a good point but yeah 390 00:16:24,079 --> 00:16:20,610 balls of light are much easier to do 391 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:24,089 effects wise sure I get it yeah 392 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:26,730 well it's been fun recapping these 393 00:16:30,079 --> 00:16:27,930 episodes and going through the history 394 00:16:31,490 --> 00:16:30,089 cases and lore that provide the 395 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:31,500 inspiration for the plot of these 10 396 00:16:35,629 --> 00:16:33,930 episodes we know that Project Blue Book 397 00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:35,639 is coming back for another season so 398 00:16:40,369 --> 00:16:37,769 it's a pretty good bet that we'll be 399 00:16:42,590 --> 00:16:40,379 doing the same thing next season we now 400 00:16:45,319 --> 00:16:42,600 know that another show is coming our way 401 00:16:47,629 -->
