Project UFO was an NBC television series which lasted two seasons, from 1978 to 1979. Based loosely on the real-life Project Blue Book, the show was created by Dragnet veteran Jack Webb, who pored through Air Force files looking for episode ideas. This was the final show produced by Webb's Mark VII Limited. The show featured two U.S. Air Force investigators charged with investigating UFO sightings. The first season starred William Jordan (as "Maj. Jake Gatlin") and Caskey Swaim (as "Staff Sgt. Harry Fitz"). Jordan was a rather nondescript leading man, while Swain added diversity as a Southerner with a pronounced accent. In season two, Jordan was replaced by Edward Winter (as "Capt. Ben Ryan"). Aldine King ("Libby") was another regular. Dr. Joyce Brothers appeared in two episodes. In the pilot episode, Gatlin informed the newly-assigned Fitz that, since it is impossible to prove a negative, 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. In retrospect, "Project UFO" anticipated many of the themes of the X-Files, though of course without that show's romantic subtext or anti-government (or for that matter, anti-alien) paranoia. As with Blue Book, many of the UFO sightings on "Project UFO" turned out to have conventional explanations. Some, however, were left unexplained, and suggestive of alien contact. By the second season, the investigators had themselves experienced a UFO sighting.

Project UFO......
I was a child when this show aired on TV. I was fascinated by it then and now, over forty some odd years later, I'm still fascinated with it. Project UFO was an NBC series that aired in 1978 and lasted only two seasons. It was based loosely on Project Blue Book. The show was created by Dragnet veteran Jack Webb, who looked through Air Force files looking for episode ideas. These days, it's looked upon as an early version of The X-Files but with more conventional explanations of what people saw(even though some episodes were left unexplained). UFOs and alien contact is something I've been fascinated with for years and this show still captivates me as much as it did when I was little. I highly recommend this series for those interested in the subject.

it is very 70s but I still love it just the same
I saw this when I was 10 years old and loved it so much. I'm re watching it and it is very 70s but I still love it just the same. One of my favorite things about the show is that all the sightings are almost of the third kind and all the ships look like Star Was Bounty hunter ships. They are all obviously made from flea market junk and model kits. Also all the Americans investigated are almost all haughty crazy Southern folk. It's a classic show and I would totally buy it if I could.

When I was growing up
I saw this when it aired on NBC and was so into it. Wish NBC would release this or History Channel on DVD/Blu-Ray. For as campy as it was, UFOs have always been a subject of interest and the government cover up along with it. There is a person on here who says he watches it. It would be great if he made copies of what he has and sold it on Ebay cause if he tried here, someone would claim copyright.
