About this episode
Kaydra (finally) does an episode entirely dedicated to the lil green guys up above. The U.S. government’s Project Blue Book set out in 1952 to determine if UFOs were a potential threat for the nation's security, and to gain a better scientific understanding of UFOs. But what they found would be so baffling, so impossible to explain… the truth simply couldn’t stay hidden for long.
