The real life X-Files has not really clarified anything.
Just like Ghost Hunters: “Didya see that? Didya hear that?”

Yep. I’m an ultra-skeptic.
Like conspiracy theories, I think paranormal topics are interesting, but I always start from a position of disbelief and wait for my mind to be changed. The needle rarely budges.
Ancient Aliens and Finding Bigfoot are slightly mainstreaming what used to be kooky underground topics, but that doesn’t change the fact that they are fiction masquerading as documentary.
What is more, the people deep in the government with the job (and the resources and the clearances) to investigate the paranormal on a hardcore level will never be disclosing anything with any meat, or anything at all, and it’s the job of either themselves or others to put out disinformation as S.O.P.
Basically, the topic is a waste of time for any joe/jane on the street, except perhaps as entertainment, if it appeals to you.
