On the season finale of Project Blue Book, Hynek and Quinn were forced to choose between telling the truth or acting on the agenda of their superiors.

In the final hour of Project Blue Book, we got confirmation the aliens are indeed, trying to make contact with Earth. For what purpose? That we don’t know yet, nor does anyone in the government want to inform the public of what they know. Still the generals would rather assure anyone who is willing to listen that the entire aircraft incident in Washington DC can be explained as Russian interference.

Except hundreds of people saw those UFOs zoom by, not once but twice, and clearly citizens are going to become suspicious of these sightings. I guess it’s a good thing Project Blue Book sets up the show for more of the same in season two since I would expect there will be an influx of strange phenomena coming in for Hynek and Quinn to handle.

5. What was the giant beacon at the end of the episode?

Perhaps one of the biggest questions generated by the season’s finale is the ending. We see a man covered in furs trudging through an arctic landscape of some kind. Hynek’s voice can be heard talking on the phone about how he knows where they need to look for concrete evidence of aliens.

The camera pans to a giant beacon situated on a snowy turret. The man pulls out the artifact Hynek stole and it lights up, as does the entire beacon. Can we guess this is some kind of signalling device? Could this be a way to tell, whoever is out there in the galaxy, the time has come for an invasion?
