Project Blue Book was a US military project for studying UFOs in the 50s and 60s. They collected reports, mostly. In UFO lore this part of the program was a cover, and in reality Blue Book was a plan to UFO-inspired projections into the sky (or other technologies up to and including reverse-engineered UFOs) in order to fake an alien invasion.
I believe that - unrelated to Project Blue Book - there are some declassified and/or leaked docs that show US agencies (mostly Intel community iirc although the Air Force is working on somewhat related tech [full spectrum, reportedly plasma-based]) have brainstormed essentially the same idea for other use cases, sometimes using religious imagery instead of UFOs based on the culture of the targets. I haven’t seen anything that officially indicates Blue Book had anything to do with a fake invasion for the purposes of domestic manipulation. It’s a powerful idea, though, they helps illustrate how growing power imbalances can be exploited in contemporary times. Some rich kids from Houston could buy drones and jump across the border to cause havoc among rural farmers in Mexico and go viral among bigots, if they could maintain their attention long enough to plan it.
