HISTORY's Project Blue Book tackled another widely known case from the archives of the real United States Air Force Blue Book investigations with the "The Flatwoods Monster." Creator/executive producer David O'Leary and showrunner/executive producer Sean Jablonski recreated the event that spurred a panicked reaction in rural West Virginia with epic scope and mystery.

In this week's Project Blue Book: The Official Podcast episode, SYFY WIRE's senior producer, Tara Bennett, welcomes back creator/executive producer David O'Leary and showrunner/executive producer Sean Jablonski, along with first-time guest, actor Michael Malarkey, who plays Captain Michael Quinn. Together, they dissect the specifics of bringing the notorious UFO sighting to life, expand on the Cold War paranoia of the time, and introduce the official name of the Hynek/Quinn partnership.
