History
Project Blue Book was founded in September, 1999,
by Brian Uitti, with concept originator Jack Reed.
Early support came from Tharconian leaders,
WakefieldAlien and DarkFlite, and our
Shadows Theorist
Jeff O'Callaghan.
Brian's brothers Dan and
Stephen Uitti
provided additional development.
Other early support was from
Olde
employees, Jedi, tobert, and Ganga.
Project Blue Book is a non-profit team to provide volunteer services
to Seti@home as described by the scientific program.
Early members are from different parts of the United States of America.
A nation wide membership was quickly developed, which quickly lead to
International involvement.
Due to the team's early successes, many members joined the
team through simple recruiting efforts.
