The truck looked awesome! I was thinking that they an excellent set designer that made that prop

I am so enjoying this series. Yes its embellished, who cares, pretty much everything released now are just vanity project 'documentaries' . Very little information from them...just seksi slow shots of the personalities and very little subject matter.

Anyhoo, from last nights episode, Karls thread
Major Donald Keyhoe's UFO Archives

very interesting about Keyhoe! Thank you for providing this info. Did not know his article " Flying Saucers are real" caused a sensation at the time.

I had some out missed out on this new show thanks will have to check it out.

Episode # 4 tomorrow night is about some type of bizarre airplane encounter with a ufo as I understand it....I am enjoying this show quite a bit so far. I find it both interesting and entertaining.

Shows title is Operation Paperclip.

another great episode IMO. As I mentioned and suspected based on last weeks episode it does appear the MIB have gotten involved in things. I had not heard of this particular incident the show was based on either, and it was a very early incident from 1948. Still enjoying this show a lot.

i'll admit i had to laugh at the picture of the "top secret aircraft" that they tried to pass off as the cause of the lights in the Lubbock Lights episode. nothing like using a picture of a Nazi testbed glider, as their own top secret, "highspeed aircraft" lol

Interesting they make Wernher von Braun a sinister conspirator. In the UFO mythology, he is a good guy. Such a move, that in making Von Braun a bad guy prompted me to look at who is producing this. Of course, most likely their just dramatizing the story and this is then incidental.

Nevertheless, the producer is a controversial figure who did the famous Back to the Future trilogy which is filled with all kinds of occult stuff and predictions, according to much lore.


Check out this groundbreaking YouTube I post every anniversary of 911 about Back to the Future and The Blue Book series Exec producer Robert Zemeckis' work.

In the closing days of the war, von Braun and a group of his rocket scientists surrendered to American forces. Although he had been a member of the German SS and had used slave labor at Mittelwerk.

great guy .......

On another note, we laughed at how bad their crop circle was! We fake them way better nowadays

Judge von B by his results [even if unintentional]. Freeman Dyson and other historians have written persuasively that the net effect of the V-2 program was Germany collapsing six months or more sooner due to the crushing demand for high-tech equipment and rare hi-energy fuels, that if applied to more conventional weapons could have lengthened the war leading to millions more fatalities in Europe and tens of millions in the Pacific.

Why would I judge him by the science results alone? No thanks, then I'd have to give kudos to the Nazi doctors that tortured children doing genetic experiments.
Y'all turn a blind eye if you need to feel better about getting a rocket to space.
I CAN say he helped get us to the moon AND he was a high ranking SS Nazi that used slave labor from a concentration camp.

See easy to give him credit for both.

He jumped ship when they were losing because he had a commodity to trade to save his skin, not from any noble gesture.

Good show, I loved the original too..as a kid it was fascinating. An interesting side note..this is filmed in B.C. and a good friend of mine has rented out props to the production.

The show is science fiction, if anybody thinks they will learn ABOUT UFOs from it, they are delusional.

Oh dude!! Why did u have to go and ruin it for all of us here?

I been telling everyone to watch because i figured some of life's greatest mysteries, particularly pertaining to all the classic UFO cases that involved Blue Book, were gonna be revealed to us, every Tuesday night. What a bummer. Major disappointment

Well anyways imma still gonna watch for entertainment purposes only then

Captain Quinn is so BAD ASS
He be busting Baseball bats right over his leg just like Jose Canseco used to. Did u see that episode, where he busted that bat over his leg? Happened in Lubbock!! That was my favorite part Captain Quinn is very strong!!!

Do you have a favorite part yet Jim?

I just watched last night's episode a few hours ago. So good!!! I'm still enjoying it even though that Jim dude told us it's "embellished" (Hi Jim )

The show looks good nice VFX to.

Haha

I remember First Blood, I think they filmed that in Hope.
Yes, it is filmed in the Vancouver area. The film industry is very strong here, I know quite a few people work in it. Just a few blocks from me is a place that gets used a few times a month.

My friend, runs a vintage audio store, they also have lots of cool display items, old radios, phonographs, tape recorders, microphones, any kind of unique vintage electronics. No meeting of any stars that I can think. Usually a prop person will come in, or phone in, and then they would pick up whatever they need for however long. They have supplied items for quite a few shows here, it kind of cool!

Just remember, it's the History channel. If they can screw it up, they will.

Heads up for episode 5 next Tuesday. It's the show about the legendary Foo Fighters..
