"Project Blue Book," "The History Journal," and the New York Times - Journal of a UFO Investigator

For those UFO researchers who've pooh-poohed the dissatisfaction others feel about the ahistoricism of The History Channel's new series "Project Blue Book." David Halperin offers a typically thoughtful evaluation of the program and its promotion. As expected, the new show's promoters have positively spun the size of its viewership. Perhaps just as understandably, Jason Colavito sees things differently. His Crash and Burn: This Week's UFO TV Disappoints in the Ratings maintains that the pilot "returned remarkably low numbers given its extensive promotion across television," in spite of the "fake newspaper wraparound on last Sunday's New York Times" that Halperin discussed. Christopher Knowles has a different angle on what has "hooked" him on the series, and it's not likely to make its UFO research community supporters especially happy. Knowles says that the show is "a dumpster fire of epic proportions." His title Project Blue Book, or Putting the Sex in Subtext indicates what seems to Knowles the most attractive aspect of the pilot episode. His blisteringly skeptical article may be hard to read at times. (WM)
