Project U.F.O.: A 1970s UFO Phenomenon
Project U.F.O. was a 1978-1979 NBC series about U.S. Air Force investigators examining UFO sightings, inspired by Project Blue Book. Created by Jack Webb, it ran for two seasons.
A Show About UFOs
Project U.F.O. was an American television series that aired on NBC from 1978 to 1979. The show ran for two seasons, with 13 episodes in each season, and was based loosely on the real-life Project Blue Book. The show was created by Jack Webb, who pored through Air Force files looking for episode ideas.
The show was a production of Mark VII Limited in association with Worldvision Enterprises, now CBS Television Distribution, and was Webb’s last weekly series produced before his death. It was also one of the rare times that Webb did not produce a series with Universal Television or Warner Bros. Television, with whom he had collaborated on every series he made following his departure from Warner Bros.
Project U.F.O. features two U.S. Air Force investigators with the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, charged with investigating UFO sightings. The first season starred William Jordan as Maj. Jake Gatlin alongside Caskey Swaim as Staff Sgt. Harry Fitz. Swaim, who had never had any significant acting experience before landing the role, added diversity as a Southerner with a pronounced accent. In season two, Jordan was replaced by Edward Winter as Capt. Ben Ryan.
In the pilot episode, Gatlin informed the newly assigned Fitz that their job was to prove that each UFO sighting was real by researching and disproving possible alternate explanations. Gatlin also told Fitz that he himself had once seen “something I can’t explain” while flying as an Air Force pilot, which led to his interest in Blue Book.
Project U.F.O. was an intriguing show that explored the mysteries of UFOs and alien sightings. The show’s attention to detail and realism, combined with its intriguing storylines, made it a hit with audiences. The show was also notable for its use of real-life Air Force files and reports, which added to the show’s authenticity.
Project U.F.O. was a groundbreaking television series that explored the mysteries of UFO sightings. The show’s attention to detail, realism, and intriguing storylines made it a hit with audiences, and it remains a classic of the science fiction genre.
