In the dark days after the devastating Pearl Harbor attacks during the spring of 1942, the United States was determined to show the world that the Axis was not invincible. Their bold plan? Bomb Tokyo. On April 18, 1942, sixteen B-25s, known as the Doolittle Raiders, hit targets across Japan before escaping to China. The eighth plane, however, did not follow the other raiders. Instead, Plane 8's pilots, Captain Edward "Ski" York and Lieutenant Bob Emmens, never attacked Tokyo, but headed across Japan to the Soviet Union, supposedly due to low fuel.

For twenty-two years, the U.S. Air Force ran an office whose only job was to investigate reports of unidentified flying objects. It collected 12,618 case files. It closed all but 701 of them to its own satisfaction. Then, in December 1969, it shut its doors for good -- and the argument over what those 701 unknowns actually mean has never really stopped. Most people have heard of Roswell. Far fewer know about the real government program that spent more time investigating UFO reports than any other office in American history: Project Blue Book, and its two forgotten predecessors, Project Sign...
