Arguably, real humans do this too, "rationalize" events they don't understand. Maybe that results in supernatural assessments of natural events, or maybe that results in rational explanations of supernatural events. Depends on who you are, huh?

@George Thomas it literally can move from body to body. There was a episode where these shipwreck scavengers discovered a missing and crashed ww2 fighter plane where there was this black eyed human feigning for help and when the guy in the diving suit went down this creature jumps from the long dead pilots body (the alien was in) into to the guy (something with looking them in the eyes) and the guy in dive suit had that black swirling shii in his eyes pointing out that this black stuff can jump from human to human like invasion of the bodysnatchers it would kill another human to take its place (which the long chain of crazy events is how scully n Mulder are behind its trail 👣) the show is extremely dense and each episode has its own relation to the main story but episodic that events play out over time while still being fresh and having scary to funny based episodes (like the old baseball ep where there were these evil aliens in kkk costumes riding horses with torches[had me cracking up at the visual of racist aliens yall should check that scene out ! ) to get at the good alien(the baseball player that is the black man who is a good alien and his fellow teammates/one of the cops who are humans helping him out among the team - hilarious light hearted and wholesome episode )yeh I loved these ones - the show is wonderful in this aspect .

Check out the show old show "Fringe" - some of the actors from the X-Files appeared in it too and that show would (once in a while) do their own versions of X-Files topics. There was even an episode that for a brief second, as the camera pans across an apartment interior - there's an X-Files episode playing on the TV. This series is mostly about bizarre bio-warfare experiments and a parallel universe - no UFO stuff. Several episodes into the first season, the equivalent of the serious version of the "Men In Black" begin showing up - except in this series, they're called "The Observers." A pattern is then set up for the series - they'll appear on one episode then there will be 6 or 7 other episodes in between of other topics and then the MIB will appear again.

Kie watched his own planet be destroyed by the order. as he crashed through the divine Shadow decided that Kie would be turned into an assasin. Kie's body was transported to the Bioscolars where assasins had been kept until they were needed. Millenia ago then after a man named Stanely Tweetle. a robot head unit number 790 and love slave part Cluster lizard named Zev wound up on a huge bug ship known as the Lexx. with help from Stan and Zev Kie was able to retrieve his memories in life and kill his divine Shadow. the lightzone was the good section where good existed. and in the dark zone was full of evil which is where Stan doesn't wanna be. heretics that tried to steal the Lexx died and the key to the Lexx was passed on to Stanley in death of a heretic he became that ships captain. Ezenbar Prince a ruler of this planet fire is another mystery. the desert planet with no water had been at war with this other planet called water. that planet had very little land on it some played games others had gardens on it. and of course Stanley Tweetle enjoyed this one city called Boom Town where people have sex all day long. anyway Prince and another ruler on the planet fire called Duke were rivals. they would die but come back to life whereever and when they chose to. Prince was able to assume whatever form that he decided to be.

[@roobear78]

biggest problem with the x files was carter and the writers couldnt further this backstory without over complicatng it to the point no one cared or were so confused they just gave up

[@PyramidHead316]

Carter also couldn't bring himself to end the show. Once the Syndicate was killed, the agreement with the 'aliens' was null and void. The Colonists had no reason to honor it. Carter knew this. But he also wanted the show to run for "20 years". So, he tried to take the cheap way out - by re-writing everything that he had done before. It didn't exactly work. Some stories don't have happy endings. Mulder being exposed as having the truth, only for the Colonists to raze everything to the ground a few days later would have been a fitting end to the series. The Outer Limits did that several times throughout its run. But Carter was too afraid to do that, and too greedy for the money he was getting from Fox. Sometimes you have to know when to give it up.

One thing you mentioned, regarding how most people who claim to have seen an alien see a 'gray', has a simple explanation. After Close Encounters came out, that's when people started seeing the 'grays'. Before that, alien sightings were far more varied. See the Flatwoods monster, as an example.

[@LaserGuidedLoogie]

Very interesting. I'm a physicist, not a biologist, but one thing that strikes me is that if you broke down all of those cells in such a rapid fashion, it would generate a huge amount of heat energy. That might be enough to destroy the viruses, or at lease limit them. After all, we already know that this is how the body protects against viruses in the first place. Also, if somehow there was such a self-sustaining breakdown, it would probably degrade the gelatinous form as well. Anyway, I really like your analysis, subbing.

[@AzetheReal]

I haven’t watched a single episode of X-Files cause I too was around 6 years old and the theme would scare the hell out of me too. I’ve been saying it for years and you’re the only person to admit it was legitimately scary.
