#Project Bluebook

[usnatarchives]

Are they out there? 👽🛸

They are out there, or so we’ve often wondered. A mystery spanning decades, UFOs have captured the imaginations of skeptics and believers alike.

The subject matter feels like it’s ripped straight from a sci-fi movie, but it’s real and documented, buried deep within the vaults of the U.S. National Archives, under the moniker Project Blue Book.

Launched in 1952, Project Blue Book was a systematic study of unidentified flying object (UFO) reports conducted by the United States Air Force. Its mission was simple yet profound: investigate sightings of unidentified flying objects to determine their impact on national security.

Over a period of 17 years, Project Blue Book compiled reports of 12,1618 UFO sightings or related events. Their conclusion in 1969 was rated anticlimactic. The official stance? No UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force was an indication of threat to our national security.

Will we ever know if “they” are truly out there? The answer might not be evident but that doesn’t mean you can’t hunt for clues in our Catalog!

If you'd have stuck around

(Nathan Bateman x GN!reader)

Prompt: I waited for you

Words: 709

Warnings: Angst, No happy ending,

A/N: For my Event Nine weeks in hell and Angstember

They had waited, nearly a month to hear from him again. Nathan Bateman was not an easy man to get a hold of, even for his supposed girlfriend.  In such a short period they had gone from meeting him through a networking event, to visiting his remote strange home on the weekends, to not hearing from him. At first they was worried about him, not hearing from him for days at a time. Then they started to question what they had done wrong, trying to figure out why he wouldn’t talk to them. But at some point they stopped trying, their daily good morning and good night texts started to dwindle, and eventually their random “I miss you” and “I saw this and thought of you” texts were not around as frequent.  Finally they just snapped. They stopped caring if he would get back to them, if he couldn’t find time for them, they wouldn’t make time for him.

So when he showed up at their front door with a box of chocolates and a bunch of flowers, they felt entirely numb.

“Hey Angel face. I missed you.” He gave them a big grin. They gave him a deadpan glare that chilled him to the core.

“Nathan.” They said coldly. His smile faltered. 

“What no ‘Hey baby’ No ‘My Darling’?” he asked with a laugh. They rolled their eyes and walked inside, there wasn’t a point in trying to toss him out, he would just follow them in anyway.

“No I usually reserve pet names for people who talk to me on a regular basis.”  Their voice filled with venom.

“Whoa, what’s with the cold reaction, have a bad day?” Nathan said, as if clueless to how he had wronged them.

“Are you fucking joking Nathan? It’s been two months since I last saw you, and a month since we last talked.” They turned and looked at him, he swore he had never seen them so mad.

“Well I got busy, you know how it can be angel.” He cooed taking a step closer to them. They held up their hand.

“Don’t call me that. Don’t fucking pretend this is fine, that this is normal? I waited Nathan, I waited for you to return my calls, to text me back. And there was nothing. No word, no nothing. What was I supposed to think? That you died? That you started to rot in that isolated hellhole you call a home? And you have the audacity to show up thinking that flowers and chocolate can fix that?” as they spoke their volume increased, they was beyond mad, they was beyond furious, they was livid. Nathan looked at them shocked.

“I…I’m sorry…Babe I had…I just.” He stuttered, he wasn’t sure what to say.

“No, you don’t get to be sorry, you don’t get to apologize and find Narcissistic satisfaction in this shit. You just need to live with the fact that you just lost the one person who cared, the one person who gave a damn about you beyond the money, beyond Bluebook, beyond your stupid IQ points. You lost me and there is nothing  you can do to-”

Beeep! Beep! Beep! Beeep! Beep! Beep! Beeep!

They opened their eyes, it was all a dream. They rolled over to swipe the alarm off. They felt the familiar feeling of wet tears they had cried in their sleep. They sat up in bed and checked their messages. Still nothing from Nathan. Just the last messages they had sent. Looking back at them tauntingly 

Sent: I wish I knew if we talked for the last time. I would have told you I love you more. I don't think I got to say it enough Sent: I would have stayed up later that last night, to talk to you Sent: I wanna work on more of our project, but it feels weird without you. Sent: I want to hear your voice again. Sent: I wanna watch movies with you Sent: I really fuckin miss you. Sent: Please come back soon

They sighed and typed out a message.

Sent: I waited for you

The BlueBook account you have contacted is not in service, or temporarily disconnected.

He was gone.

And they were left with nothing, but a dead number, and a broken heart.

Project Bluebook - S2E07, "Curse of the Skinwalker"

[horsesarecreatures]

Feeling the end of summer blues this week. 😔 The weather is cold and school work is piling up. I have 4 writing projects this semester, all ranging from 10-35 pages. I don't even mind the writing and researching itself, but I hate doing Bluebook citations. It's so tedious and convoluted compared to MLA and APA. It often takes longer to do the citations than write whatever it is.

[mander3-swish]

Here's a story slash book rec slash movie/tv show recs :)

So I eagerly got my hands on @jocarthage's pro-fic Nuclear Sunrise and zoomed through reading it (need to read it again! and I do recommend checking it out if you're able). It's set at the end of 1951 and involves a project where they are developing plutonium. And a whole bunch of other intriguing stuff is going on *no spoilers!* but like the hot springs tubs? so neat! Once I re-read, I'll try to do a proper spoilery gush :)

And then I started watching Fellow Travelers. And I was so happy for the historical context that Nuclear Sunrise provided into the blue envelopes people were getting when they were under suspicion and investigation on Fellow Travelers. I found it to be kismet that one sort of led into the other, 'forgotten' queer history-wise. (and Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey were perfection)

And then I started the Cat Sebastian audiobook We Could Be So Good. This is set at end of the 50's/early 60's, so the previous book and show provided context as the situation was really not any better. And then in the book they bring up the historic 1963 March on Washington - at least I think that was what was being referred to - like I said, audiobook. One of the characters attends as a reporter and comes back and mentions Rustin and his queerness being an open secret. So then, of course, I had to go and watch Rustin on Netflix last night to gain all of that context.

Isn't it so neat how all these different avenues of media end up being connected?

It also just all makes me want to rewatch Project Blue Book (set in '52/'53), to tie it all back to UFOs. (PS, has anyone written a Malex project bluebook AU?)

YOU KNOW WHO WOULD HAVE INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE BLUEBOOK PROJECT?

DO I NEED TO NAME HIM?

[abyssallake]

Originally an ENAsona I made for a TTRPG, but after 3 years of playing as her and creating her character she has become something separate from the cannon ENA lore. I have tried very hard to alter her design and separate her from ENA as much as possible while still keeping the early CGI/low poly humanoid look.

A Creature the International monster registry has classified as Datalings. EXE is one of few that we have knowledge of. She works under the U.S sector and had a hand in many cases for project bluebook. She claims to have come from a dimension that seems to be a combined space of a computer main frame and internet with its own social hierarchy, that is held to a strict statuesque.  She appeared in [REDACTED], West Virginia in 1911, At that time she worked freelance to handle Monster related mafia and gangster issues. The U.S military hired (thats a gracious way to put it...) her during WWII to scan through technological communications and crack codes. After the war the World governments enacted the Monsters In Hiding law, Forcing all monster species to either hide or take on a human disguise, EXE took on the persona of Evan [REDACTED] and took up the job to help monsters adjust to the new law (much to my own dismay as I find the law to be a violation of rights). She now works around the country as a detective for monster and cultist related crimes and is the loudest voice for monster rights, and is very vocal about her disdain for the justice system. ____________________________________________________________ Want to see something like this with your character?

Project Bluebook S1E04

Operation Paperclip

[pea-gravel]

Project Bluebook!

I want a Leverage/Stargate crossover in which Parker, Hardison, Eliot, and Sophie all know about Stargate and all think they are the only ones who know.

Eliot is easy. He worked for them. He's been off world and has seen aliens up close. He doesn't want that danger anywhere near his team and, if they knew aliens were real, they would seek them out.

Parker, pre-Leverage, was once going to steal from a goa'uld. She's hidden away and safe, but sees the goa'uld change hosts or similar. It is one of the few times she walked away without her score. She still stole something, just not what she had gone for. She also neatly accepted that mind controlling snake monsters are real and that made her much more accepting of the impossible and, weirdly, less afraid in general. Nothing beats a mind controlling snake monster.

Hardison hacked his way into the mountain base while setting up in Portland. He didn't go in deep; he was just looking for something cute and Santa related for Parker. Instead, he found a mission report some idiot had sent in via email. The report had video. Brutal video. He watched. Three times. And then bought himself a new computer solely to hack deeper and figure out if what he saw was real or fake. It was real. He was thrilled--space ships and aliens were real! He was terrified--space ships and aliens were real and not very friendly. He wanted no part of that.

Sophie conned her way into a dinner with military officials. It wasn't even for a job. She was just bored and wanted to test out her skills. (Part of her also wanted to get caught. Part of her post-Nate was a bit self-destructive). She found a man fuming and lent a listening ear. With a bit of alcohol and a lot of pretending to know more than he did, she learned about the Stargate program. She locked that knowledge up deep, ready to wield it if ever needed.

And then, one day in New Orleans, SGC comes knocking for Eliot. It is one of the times that Hardison is home with them. Eliot is cooking and Hardison and Parker are teasing him in the kitchen. Harry is out. Breanna is working to undo a virus Hardison created for her as a challenge.

Then, say, Cameron Mitchell walks in. Eliot glances over from where he's cooking at the stove and says, "No. Turn around. Walk away."

Hardison has gone still. He remembers Cameron's face from the reports he read and watched. "How do you know Eliot?" he asks.

"We used to work together."

Hardison turns to Eliot, eyes wide. "Eliot?"

"Better question," Eliot says, turning off the heat. "How do you know Mitchell here?"

"Someone has to keep an eye on what the government is doing," Hardison vamps, part of him still hoping to end this conversation without Parker learning about the spaceships and aliens.

"Dammit Hardison."

By this time, Parker has hopped off the counter and walked up to Cameron to get a better read on him. She also nicks his wallet and firearm. "Catch," she calls to Eliot as she tosses the firearm to him.

"Parker!" Eliot chastises as he snatches the gun. "Don't throw firearms."

She shrugs. "I knew you'd catch it."

This is the first time Cameron has looked wrongfooted this entire time. "What?"

"Cameron Mitchell," Parker reads from his ID. "Airforce."

Cameron swipes it back from her. Parker lets him. As she turns, she catches Breanna's eye and gestures to her ear.

Breanna pulls out of the code she was working on and starts looking for any foreign frequencies to find out who is talking to Mitchell.

Sophie, who has been watching quietly this entire time and noting Cameron's military standing, takes into account his actual division and the ways Eliot and Hardison are acting and clearly talking around something. She decides to make a gamble.

"Does this have anything to do with the Stargate program?"

Eliot, Hardison, and Cameron all freeze and look at her.

"I'm sorry, ma'am," Cameron says, "But how do you know about the Stargate program."

Sophie offers him a beatific smile. "People do talk--" she pauses and gives him a searching look "--commander is it? Interesting that the commander himself came to talk." She turns to Eliot. "This might be important."

Cameron spins to Eliot. "Did you tell her?"

Eliot crosses his arms. "I've not said anything."

Parker raises her hand. "What's the Stargate Program?

Hardison is the first to speak up. "It is a secret program that deals with threats from space."

"Like aliens?" Breanna asks, continuing to hack into Cameron's comms. She's surprised by the layers of protection.

"Yes."

"Okay," Breanna mutters. "Cool. So aliens are real."

Parker raises her hand again.

"You don't need to raise your hand, Parker," Eliot mutters into his hand.

"Are any of these aliens mind controlling snake monsters who like Egyptian antiquities?"

Now every eye is on her.

"Yes," Cameron says, stretching the word out. "How?"

Parker just hops back up onto the counter. "I stole from one."

"Did she just say she stole from one?" A woman's voice plays from Breanna's corner.

"So I've hacked their comms," Breanna says.

Cameron nearly growls in frustration. This was not how this was supposed to go.

"Why don't you invite the rest of your team in?" Sophie says. "Eliot, will we have enough food?"

Eliot rolls his eyes and turns back to the stove. He turns the heat back on and gives his dish a stir. "I was making enough for leftovers. We'll be fine."

"Who are you people?" Cameron asks. "I mean, I've read your files, but--"

"Oh, how did you like those?" Hardison asks. "Beauties, aren't they?"

"You forged your records?" Cameron asks, his tone flat.

Sophie touches his elbow and guides him to a seat. "When you've taken over a small country, darling, paperwork is child's play."

Cameron looks at her, sees she isn't lying, and laughs. "Okay. Fine." He calls his team in. They'll have dinner. And then they'll discuss saving the world.

[vomitnest]

been reflecting on my last psychotic break as well as some of the conspiracy theory bullshit from my youth which i gradually grew out of. this of course leads me to also contemplate the stuff that i haven't seemed to have entirely put behind me. it's interesting to sort of compare and contrast and see what stuck and what didn't. for some reason i feel like i need to sort it out. as if it will be good to have a better grip on what exactly i do and don't believe is real before my next episode unfolds. hopefully there won't be another one but i always think it's my last one until it's not. it doesn't seem one hundred percent preventable. and i'm not sure this will help. no harm, no foul i suppose.

anyway so when i'm having an episode my brain tries to figure out what the fuck is going on in the world to try to explain what appears to be happening with the people around me (and when i say people around me that includes basically everyone including people in the workplace, the store, the internet, the TV, the radio, the press.)

during this last episode my theory of what was going on was kind of a hodge podge of stuff all spun together which included a lot of the usual suspects: big finance, big media, big pharma, the fbi, the cia, the nsa, intelligence organizations, espionage, agent provocateurs, psyops, brainwashing, sleeper agents, mk-ultra, cointelpro, psychiatry in the military, mass surveillance, PMSC's, militias, misinformation, vigilantes, institutional gaslighting, gangstalking, targeted individuals, human trafficking, carceral psychiatry, medical kidnap, emergency custody orders, forced hospitalizations, institutionalization, detention centers, child protective services, public corruption, crooked judges, crooked cops, organized crime, street gangs, economic hitmen, corporate malfeasance, the church, the military, the press, operation mockingbird, operation paperclip, project bluebook, area 51, nato, tigerswan, skunkworks.

a lot of this stuff is probably not in actuality something that is very pervasive or experienced by very many people. mk-ultra, for example. or even human trafficking or medical kidnap. when i'm delusional it seems to be everywhere and i'm right in the middle of it all and it includes everyone and people are in on it and shit. it's really dark and bizarre. and i always seem to suspect that aliens fit into it somehow as well. fairly standard conspiracy theory stuff. with its own angle. but yeah i basically tried to fit everything into it that one might expect. even adrenochrome, the vatican, cults... but it's not like each part is of equal relevance or importance to the whole. some things are most likely just bizarre stuff happening on the fringes that don't have much to do with anything. hypothetically speaking, of course.

but i still have questions about it now. what is the crux of it all. what is happening essentially. in a nutshell. (as far as conspiracy stuff goes). and how much does the therapeutic state actually have to do with it. or "dark psychology" or psychiatry or "manufactured consent" or social engineering or mind-control. the science of predicting and controlling human behavior. spies. cons. psyops. secret societies. psychological warfare. those sorts of things seem like they might not be as pervasive as the more general problem of algorithms and mass media, bad politics, journalism, misinformation, talking heads...

again, this question: how much does the therapeutic state actually have to do with it.

to answer that, and to extrapolate a basic framework of what is happening in general, it probably helps to look at what sorts of people in particular are being oppressed. obviously mentally ill people and those who are labeled mentally ill aren't the only ones. it's much broader and more diverse, including poor and working class people, bipoc, lgbtq, leftists, religious minorities, etc.

so i don't know. psychiatry does have a horrific history and has demonstrated that it can be a powerful instrument of coercion and repression. for example the diagnosis of drapetomania. or the subproject 68 mk-ultra experiments in montreal. i do believe the therapeutic state is real, but that maybe it is just one aspect of many other equally important facets of the larger clusterfuck that is the military-industrial complex and beyond.

apparently, the way to deal with this is through concerted collective action. class struggle, specifically. not conscious consumerism, or clicktivism, or decalcifying the pineal gland, or boycotting amazon, or buying local, or eating organic, or any of that new age david icke reptilian bullshit. activating the chakras, drinking ayahuasca, doing yoga and meditation to escape the matrix. more often than not, the whole spiritual rigmarole is an ego trip. it's not enlightenment. it's no more helpful than virtue signaling. or driving an electric car. it doesn't make you more human or more soulful or free, much less pose any substantial challenge to the system or contribute anything of value to the plight of civilization in the grand scheme of things. if you want to be free, if you want to be more deeply human, if you want to contribute something of value to the real struggle, you have to get away from these entirely individualistic approaches. the garden variety "self-help" spiritual narcissism that's being peddled to people as a viable way out is an unfortunate distraction. there's nothing wrong with focusing on individual solutions as long as there is equal importance given to collective direct action. it will not help for people to try to beat the system as enlightened individuals "doing their part". whether that's conscious consumerism or personal wellness or going off the grid. or shamelessly blogging on tumblr about the weirdest shit ever because it feels like the right thing to do at the time. class consciousness and class struggle is the difference between real solutions and false consciousness.

Random SG1 idea

100. When Senator Kinsey shows up in season one trying to pull his crap, it results in him and a bunch of people getting arrested for accessing and spilling classified military secrets, the SGC being "temporarily closed" project bluebook being closed on paper, and a new project is opened with a different name and all the bluebook personnel, same or different location.
