===''Twin Peaks''===
Project Blue Book played a major role in the second season of the 1990–1991 TV series ''[[Twin Peaks]]''. [[Major Garland Briggs]], an Air Force officer who worked on the program, approaches protagonist [[Dale Cooper]] and reveals that Cooper's name turned up in an otherwise nonsensical radio transmission intercepted by the Air Force, which inexplicably originated from the woods surrounding the town of Twin Peaks. As the season progresses, it is revealed that the source of the transmission is the transdimensional realm of the [[Black Lodge]], inhabited by beings which feed on the human emotions of pain and suffering; it eventually comes out that Briggs worked with Cooper's rival, corrupt FBI agent [[Windom Earle]], on Project Blue Book, and that the two men apparently uncovered evidence of the Lodge during the course of their work.

===''Galactica 1980''===
Every episode of the original ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'' spin-off series ''[[Galactica 1980]]'' ended with a short statement about the U.S. Air Force's 1969 Project Blue Book findings that UFOs are not proven to exist and "are not a threat to national security".
