Poor Object Blowback: on History's Project Blue Book - Skunkworks

The History Channel's tv series Project Blue Book still commands much attention among UFO researchers to the exclusion of the UFO phenomenon (or "UFO Effect") from which it theoretically derives. Quebec scholar/philosopher Bryan Sentes offers his philosophical perspective upon the first three offerings in the series, parsing out the good, the bad, and the just plain ugly elements he sees within it and how they affect the two different camps of UFO-interested people he delineates. With Bryan Sentes' Take on the First Three Episodes of History's Project Blue Book Rich Reynolds adds another resource in MJ Banias' trio of reviews. Rich also makes clear his uncompromising antipathy towards the program. Kevin Randle continues his series of series reviews in History's Project Blue Book - The Lubbock Lights. Kevin takes some "Ufological colleagues" to task for fearing the program "will harm the UFO field by the way it is presented, but I think that ship sailed a long time ago." Nonetheless, he feels compelled to right a few of the more egregiously ahistorical elements in the third installment of a series Kevin had described on January 9th as "About the only things that were accurate were the names of some of the people..." Jason Colavito senses more sinister purposes for the series which "tells this remarkable true historical story and is helping move the needle forward on this important real-life issue" in its creator David O'Leary's words; see TV Roundup: Fringe TV Ratings, Plus: Is "Project Blue Book" UFO Propaganda?
