When The X-Files returned in 2016, the internet was shocked to find out the CIA is also an X-File fan. In honor of the show’s return, the agency at the center of the TV show’s government coverups released their own “X-Files.” Much to the disappointment of most conspiracy theorist, the CIA files published didn’t include who shot JFK or if jet fuel can melt steel beams.

The CIA’s X File instead contained a list of instructions on what to do if you believe you spotted a UFO. Basically, the government released a list telling the public to immediately let them know if they see a UFO and the public isn’t falling for it. We don’t need a Roswell 2.0. The X-Files made us woke to the conspiracies.
