[ link to www.livescience.com (secure)] UFO 'invasion' of NATO war games revealed in 'Project Blue Book' season finale
When a massive international war-games exercise known as Operation Mainbrace convened in the North Sea in 1952, it brought together 80,000 military personnel, 1,000 planes and 200 ships from nine countries. There were also some unexpected attendees: UFOs.
Multiple sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) during Operation Mainbrace (also known as Exercise Mainbrace) were documented by pilots and naval officers and appeared on radar, according to the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), a federal agency that compiled witness accounts of UFO encounters from the 1950s through the 1980s.
This still-unexplained incident inspired the Season 2 finale of the History channel's "Project Blue Book," the dramatic series about the U.S. Air Force program — also named Project Blue Book — that investigated UFO sightings from 1952 to 1969, when tensions from the Cold War were at their highest. Airing tonight (March 24), the episode leads UFO hunters Dr. J. Allen Hynek (Aidan Gillen) and Capt. Michael Quinn (Michael Malarkey) into a tense naval standoff, in which the appearance of unknown flying and diving UFOs nudges edgy military commanders toward the brink of war with the Soviet Union.
