The Macho Project has been monitoring millions of stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), the Small Magellanic Cloud, and the bulge of the Milky Way searching for gravitational microlensing. We have analyzed data from about 9 million stars in 11 square degrees of the bar of the LMC over a two-year span. This poster presents a preliminary catalog of aperiodic, variable blue stars. We have defined blue stars as having (V-R){sub macho} <0.3 and 14.0
