"I WANT TO BELIEVE"
[ The famous UFO poster hangs behind Agent Mulder's desk in the basement of the J. Edgar Hoover Building, Washington D.C. ]

The truth. Mulder has chased it for six seasons. A sister taken by -- what?
Extraterrestrial biological entities? Government conspirators? The answer may be
the same. Fox Mulder believes. Dana Scully questions. Together
they investigate the X-Files: unexplained cases buried in the FBI's basement.
Cases too strange, too dangerous, or too impossible for anyone else.

| FAN THEORIES: The Alien Conspiracy |
Theory 1: The Colonization Timeline
The alien colonists plan to colonize Earth. The Syndicate -- a shadow government
group including the Cigarette Smoking Man -- made a deal: hand over family members
as hostages in exchange for time to develop an alien/human hybrid vaccine.
Mulder's sister Samantha was one such hostage...
Theory 2: It's All a Government Hoax
Agent Scully's skeptic position: some "alien" phenomena are government experiments
using human test subjects. The black oil may be a classified biological weapon.
The "aliens" may be genetically engineered soldiers...
