Michael Malarkey stars in HISTORY’s new series Project Blue Book. He plays Captain Michael Quinn; an air force officer determined to show the world there is nothing mysterious to the UFO phenomenon. However, his motivation may be more than pure skepticism.

Project Blue Book was a real-life government program to investigate UFOs. It ran from 1952 to 1969. It was the third and last USAF UFO program, preceded by Project Sign and Project Grudge. The first began in 1947. In 1948 the USAF enlisted the help of Dr. J. Allen Hynek, an astronomer who thought the UFO subject was ridiculous. However, over the years Hynek found the UFO subject to be much more mysterious than he first thought.

In HISTORY’s Project Blue Book Hynek is played by Aiden Gillen, and Malarkey plays a USAF officer tasked with keeping Hynek focused on solving UFO cases. That means coming up with mundane answers. The problem is Hynek finds many to be unsolvable. Like Hynek, Malarkey sees a genuine mystery in the UFO phenomenon, and in this interview, we talk about his views on UFOs and a potential government cover-up.

Project Blue Book premieres on the History Channel on January 8, 2018, at 9 pm central.
