Project Blue Book -- Paul Hynek's Words - A Different Perspective

Kevin Randle reports on what a very important, though small, segment of the public seems to feel about the portrayal Project Blue Book makes of the character and career of Dr. J. Allen Hynek--the Hynek family itself. Kevin frankly professes ambivalence towards, but also enjoyment from, the show. Rich Reynolds responds to Kevin's comments in History Channel's Project Blue Book: Entertainment or Outrage? Rich focuses on the "distortions of activity" that together with "half-ass 'researchers' and 'investigators' (along with the news media)" that "muddle" the phenomenon. Jack Brewer sees a similar cultural problem in Sometimes It's Just Con vs. Con. Critical thinking, research ethics, and professional conduct deficits are rife in the field of ufology--and outside of it as well. Nick Redfern focuses on the series' second installment, first summarizing the "traditional" account of the 1952 Flatwoods Monster case, then pointing out some of the fantasy in the PBB episode, boiling down to his "main gripe: the show-makers seem intent on making real people look bad."
