The X-Files and everything it presented is another one of those things that could only exist in a pre-9/11 America. During the Clinton years, the most nefarious thing people could imagine the government doing was hiding the truth about aliens, which given the rapid advancement of technology in the latter part of the decade, of course the government knew! But then 9/11 happened and suddenly the worst thing the government could do was try to convince us that somehow jet fuel could melt steel beams

And now, in the 20+ years since then, things have gotten worse. I mean, obviously, right? So now, with these hearings, even if the CIA or NASA or whoever suddenly come up to the stand and say "Yep, we've had contact with aliens for decades. In fact, here's one right now" and then Josh Exley walks up to the podium, half the country will yell from the top of their lungs that they knew the government has been lying this whole time and the other half will just yell that this is all a distraction from the REAL issues

I saw UFO twice in the 1970s. Don’t know if they ever played Wembley. https://youtu.be/aatjerFCRP8
