Topic: Project UFO - Queen Mary

Being in a nostalgic mood, I looked up on an old American TV series I quite liked when i was 10 à 11 years old. I remembered something about "Project" and "Blue", but it seems that it is "Project UFO" based upon a real based Project Blue Book (I think it was aired in Belgium under that name).

I remember an episode where the two investigators are in a highrise in Long Beach looking in the air, with the Queen Mary in the distance.

In those pre-internet days, every glimpse of the QM in her new surroundings was an event.

Looking now, there seems to have been a complete episode having been filmed aboard the Queen Mary, standing in for a fictional "Atlantic Queen".

HAs anyone also memories of Project UFO and from this particular episode?

I remember that series very well. The theme was catchy and I think it was produced by Jack Webb of Dragnet fame. I wished I had recalled that show.
