Sell Your Project Blue Book 1 February 1966 Re UFO’s
Project Blue Book was the code name for the systematic study of unidentified flying objects by the United States Air Force from March 1952 to its termination on December 17, 1969. The project, headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, was initially directed by Captain Edward J. Ruppelt and followed projects of a similar nature such as Project Sign established in 1947, and Project Grudge in 1948. Project Blue Book had two goals, namely, to determine if UFOs were a threat to national security, and to scientifically analyze UFO-related data.

Nate D. Sanders Auctions has sold the following similar memorabilia:
Scarce model from the 1979 film ”Alien” of the famed ”Space Jockey” character aboard the ”Derelict Spaceship”, designed and hand-painted by H.R. Giger. One of the most recognizable scenes in sci-fi cinema, the haunting Space Jockey aka The Pilot, found dead aboard the alien spaceship, was conceived and designed by famed Swiss surrealist painter, sculptor and visual effects artist H.R. Giger, whose work on ”Alien” won an Academy Award in 1980.
The enormous Space Jockey and cavernous spaceship are quintessential Giger, renowned for human-machine melded beings called biomechanoids; the walls of the spaceship appear to be either vertebrae from a once living creature, or cogs in a vast industrial machine system, or perhaps both. Space Jockey is fused into his command station and wears either a mask, or has a elephantine trunk extending from his face. In the ”Alien” set — which was built based on this model — Space Jockey sits 26 feet tall, dwarfing the characters of Kane, Dallas and Lambert who find him dead, his rib cage blasted open, serving as foreshadowing to what awaits the crew later in the film.
So pivotal was the scene — establishing the world of the Alien creature and serving as ground zero for the film’s mythology — that Ridley Scott insisted upon its construction, despite the enormous cost of building the life-size (or larger than life) set. Space Jockey so enthralled the audience of ”Alien”, that the character would even go on to serve as a critical and central story point in Scott’s ”Promethus”, the ”Alien” origin story released in 2012.
The model is reportedly one of only three or four known to exist and comes from the collection of Peter Beale, former 20th Century Fox executive who was given the model by Giger and whose LOA accompanies the piece. The original mold was intentionally cut into smaller parts to be used by the technicians who constructed the set, so the remaining models are the only extant original sculptures of the scene. This model measures 43” wide x 36” long x 16.25” high, hand painted in tones of grey, brown and black by Giger. Space Jockey is fused into his pilot seat, which swivels around on a circular platform. The swiveling piece can be removed and measures 13.5” long x 10.25” high x 4.5” wide. Entire model weighs over 47 lbs., glued to a painted sheet of plywood. A few chips to the resin, otherwise in near fine condition. One of the finest ”Alien” props ever to be sold at auction. Sold for $31,250.

Entire set weighs approximately 25 pounds. Minor wear, else near fine. With a COA from MGM. Sold for $25,000.
Screen-Used Ralph McQuarrie Original Model of Star Trek’s USS Enterprise From 1976
Ralph McQuarrie and Ken Adam designed model for Star Trek’s USS Enterprise, with McQuarrie’s influence evident in the model’s triangular design, while still retaining the original Starship Enterprise aesthetic by Matt Jefferie. Made in 1976 for the unproduced “Star Trek: Planet of the Titans”, this model was subsequently screen-used in “Star Trek: The Next Generation” as part of the armada destroyed in the epic “Battle of Wolf 359” between the United Federation of Planets and the Borg Collective.
At the time of this model, McQuarrie was completing work on “Star Wars”, whose influence has been noted here, specifically, its similarity to the Star Destroyers of “Star Wars”. The design of this model is also the inspiration for the redesigned USS Discovery starship in 2017’s “Star Trek: Discovery”. Ship measures 15″ x 8″ wide, made of wood and plastic and with tape and ink accents. Professional repair where nacelle pylons meet the secondary hull, overall in very good condition, stunning for display. Accompanied by the book “The Art of Star Trek”, where the model is photographed and featured on page 56. Sold for $9,725.
Alien Concept Original Drawings by Famed Artist Ralph McQuarrie — 52 Sheets With Dozens of Drawings
Large collection of original alien and spaceship concept drawings by artist Ralph McQuarrie, the illustrator, concept artist and designer for a slew of blockbusters including “Star Wars”, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”, “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, “The Empire Strikes Back”, “Return of the Jedi”, “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” and “Cocoon”, for which he won an Academy Award. Sketches number in the dozens, composed on 52 sheets, replete with various alien creatures (one resembling his E.T. character), and spaceships resembling parasites. One sheet shows cars in bubbles populating the sky, as the artwork was done for a Chevrolet-Showscan collaboration; Showscan was a high-speed, large-format movie process designed by Douglas Trumbull in the late 1970s. Many of the sheets are initialed “R.M.Q.” by McQuarrie, who also adds “Showscan ‘Chevy’” at the bottom. Size of sheets vary, with most measuring 12″ x 9″ and some as large as 17″ x 11″. Most sketches are done in pencil, with some in colored pencil and watercolor. In very good to near fine condition. From the collection of Peter Beale, 20th Century Fox executive on “Star Wars” and “Alien”. Sold for $8,011.
