X-Zone Broadcast Network - Auturo Interian - Project Blue Book


In the most recent show, I had the opportunity to speak with one of the forces behind Project Blue Book: The TV Show. Auturo Interian is a senior vice present at A&E which owns History and he provided some insight into the way the series has been structured and the thought processes behind the construction of the series. You can listen to the show here:


The one thing that has come through, loud and clear, in my communications with Auturo and in our discussion of the show is his deep interest in UFOs. He said that his interest was sparked by Close Encounters of the Third Kind and from that point on, studied the subject. What caught my attention was that he was aware of some

of the more esoteric aspects of UFOs. When I asked who was Neal McDonough was, meaning who is the general he plays, Auturo said he was a combination of Nathan Twining and Charles Cabell. While most people know who Twining was, far fewer understood the role of Cabell in all this.

There are other examples of this. He mentioned that the group we sometimes see around a big, round table, is not MJ-12, but could be considered one of many different organizations that existed over the years that sort of oversaw the investigations into UFOs including the Science Advisory Board.

And that Quinn, the captain running around with Allen Hynek, is not Ruppelt, the one-time chief of Blue Book, but a combination of people because once you move beyond Ruppelt you run into leaders of the investigation who are either disinterested in UFOs or rabidly set against the idea they exist in any form.

There is one more thing. When I was on the set of Roswell, the ShowTime movie about, well, Roswell, I was the military consultant. I mentioned something to the director, Jeremy Kagan. He said to me, “Remember, we’re making a movie, not a documentary.” This is advice that some of the critics of the Project Blue Book show should remember as well.

Coming up next… I’m not sure yet. There are several possibilities and I’m looking for the best guest.

  1. Sort of off-topic but Gen. Charles Cabell was fired by JFK along
    with CIA Director Allen Dulles...some believe that the CIA was
    involved in the JFK assassination. Well, what came out in the
    last release of documents last year was that Charles Cabell's
    brother Earle Cabell who was the mayor of Dallas in 1963 was
    also a CIA operative. Some believe JFK's murder was because
    he wanted to disclose some of the most critical secrets to the Soviets
    and wanted to have the Soviets work with the US in our goal to land
    men on the Moon safely. JFK was far-thinking and may have avoided
    a nuclear war with the Soviets by him not taking the advice of his
    generals. My belief is that Aliens are concerned about our advances
    in nuclear weapons technology. (Just look at Robert Hasting's work on
    UFO's & Nukes.) Mankind is playing with fire in this regard, and it will
    not end well for the Human Race if we continue on this path. Scary
    to think many of the Nuclear nations in our world believe we need these
    things. Even scarier is the lack of any concern or critical thinking on
    this subject. Our "controlled" news media gives zero attention to this.

    Yes "some" believe all sorts of ridiculous things. The fact is, JFK was very much a conventional politician of his time. His Cold War rhetoric rivals Reagan in terms of it's defining what the Cold War was all about.

    I know he has been reinvented in some circles as a (early) version of George McGovern.....but it's just not true.

    I can't imagine why: it's going to take us thousands of years to reach the nearest solar system. And even if we came up with the technology tomorrow to get there faster.....likely any race we encounter who has come here has the technology to deal with such a threat. (Or at the very least: counterbalance it. Sort of a interstellar version of MAD.)
