==Project Blue Book in fiction== ===''Project UFO''=== [[Jack Webb]] produced and narrated ''[[Project U.F.O.]]'', a 1978-1979 television series based on Project Blue Book (though shifting the investigation to the present day rather than its original 1950s-1960s era.){{Citation needed|reason=No citations at all in new sub-section|date=August 2023}} The series followed two Air Force investigators, [[William Jordan (actor)|William Jordan]] as Major Jake Gatlin (replaced in the second season by [[Edward Winter (actor)|Edward Winter]] as Major Ben Ryan), and [[William Caskey Swaim|Caskey Swaim]] as Staff Sergeant (later Technical Sergeant) Harry Fitz, covering a wide variety of UFO incidents.{{Citation needed|reason=No citations at all in new sub-section|date=August 2023}} A former Project Blue Book officer served as the technical advisor for the series. Each episode ended with the following statement superimposed over the U.S. Air Force service mark: "The United States Air Force, after twenty-two years of investigations, concluded that none of the unidentified flying objects reported and evaluated posed a threat to our national security."{{Citation needed|reason=No citations at all in new sub-section|date=August 2023}} ===''Twin Peaks''=== Project Blue Book played a major role in the second season of the 1990β1991 television series ''[[Twin Peaks]]''. [[List of Twin Peaks characters#Garland Briggs|Major Garland Briggs]], an Air Force officer who worked on the program, approaches protagonist [[List of Twin Peaks characters#Special Agent Dale Cooper|Dale Cooper]] and reveals that Cooper's name turned up in an otherwise nonsensical radio transmission intercepted by the Air Force, which inexplicably originated from the woods surrounding the town of Twin Peaks. As the season progresses, it is revealed that the source of the transmission is the transdimensional realm of the [[Twin Peaks (fictional town)#Black and White Lodges|Black Lodge]], inhabited by beings which feed on the human emotions of pain and suffering; it eventually comes out that Briggs worked with Cooper's rival, corrupt FBI agent [[List of Twin Peaks characters#Windom Earle|Windom Earle]], on Project Blue Book, and that the two men apparently uncovered evidence of the Lodge during the course of their work. ===''Galactica 1980''=== Every episode of the original ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'' spin-off series ''[[Galactica 1980]]'' ended with a short statement about the U.S. Air Force's 1969 Project Blue Book findings that UFOs are not proven to exist and "are not a threat to national security". ===''Project Blue Book'' (2019)=== Project Blue Book is the inspiration for the drama series ''[[Project Blue Book (TV series)|Project Blue Book]]'', which began airing on the [[History Channel]] in January 2019.<ref name="History">[https://www.history.com/shows/project-blue-book/about Project Blue Book β About]</ref>
