The podcast welcomes its first-ever guest, historian Kate Dorsch. Kate is a postdoctoral lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania and is writing a book about the U.S. Air Force's UFO investigations from 1947 to 1969, including Project Blue Book.   How should we understand these investigations within the context of the Cold War? How weird was Project Blue Book, really? How did J. Allen Hynek become J. Allen Hynek? And what does Kate think about that show on the History Channel?   You can read Kate's dissertation here: https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/3231/   Also check out her recent piece in Foreign Policy: https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/06/06/ufos-space-cold-war-pentagon-military-aliens/

Project Blue Book (w/ Kate Dorsch)

Sarah Scoles

UFOs are real. Straight up. There are unidentified objects flying around — but does that mean they’re aliens? Two experts in the research and culture of Unexplained Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) -- science journalist/author Sarah Scoles and Dr. Kate Dorsch, a scholar in the History and Sociology of Science -- joined Alie moments after Friday’s breaking news of the Pentagon’s UAP report. Strap in for “tic tacs,” space rocks, black triangles, fighter pilot sightings, Roswell, abduction trends, secret military missions, surprising conclusions, and the -ologists’ own wacky field experience researching UFOs … and the people obsessed with hunting town the truth. Which is out there.Follow Sarah Scoles and Kate Dorsch on TwitterLearn more about Sarah ScolesAnd Dr. Kate DorschBuy Sarah’s new book, “They Are Already Here: UFO Culture and Why We See Saucers”Or Sarah’s previous book “Making Contact”A donation went to Friends of the Denver Public LibraryMore episode sources and linksSponsors of OlogiesTranscripts &amp; bleeped episodesBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a monthOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, totes, masks… Follow @ologies on Twitter and InstagramFollow @alieward on Twitter and InstagramSound editing by Jarrett Sleeper of MindJam Media &amp; Steven Ray MorrisTranscripts by Emily White of The WordaryWebsite by Kelly R.
