The truth, according to David Duchovny at least, is out there. All we need to do, we're told, is keep watching the skies.
Well, believe it or not, that might well have paid off. Reports from the United States (of course) have come in that some claim to be the "best evidence ever" of extra-terrestrial life. Take a look at the video and make up your own mind.
An alleged UFO was spotted in the night sky and captured on camera, leading internet theorists to identify it as the alleged TR-38, a top-secret aircraft that some think is a surveillance plane developed by the United States Air Force and reverse engineered from alien technology.
Given that the last paragraph included "alleged", "some think", "some claim" and "internet theorists", you can make up your own mind on whether I think it's credible or not.
The folk who posted the clip on the internet need no convincing.
"On the 26 of January this amazing video was shot from a dashboard camera," reads the blurb under the video on YouTube.
"The footage captured a TR-3B UFO in mid-air and it might be the best evidence ever of the TR-3B UFO ever. The triangular object is coming in from the left of the screen and you can see that this object doesn't have any blinking lights like a normal airplane should have. It is flying at a very low altitude which is very strange for a normal airplane."
The theory behind the TR-38 is that it can go up into space and then come back into the atmosphere, allowing the US government to secretly keep an eye on us all.
Furthermore, it is alleged that they were made in highly confidential military bases such as Area 51, close to Las Vegas, and are constructed from technology recovered from aliens.
There is, of course, another theory that holds that it was just a plane and that everyone should calm down about the surprisingly explainable circumstances of a plane flying in the air.
The true experts on this, YouTube commenters, were not to be discouraged.
"I believe this to be reversed engineering from NASA or the Military Industrial Complex," wrote one rocket scientist. "Most objects we see in our skies nowadays are human made, but there is a small percentage that are unexplained."
Another wrote: "Of course it's a TR-3B, the US built about 60 of them. It's powered by nuclear energy and it's a military spy plane:"
Suppose that just about settles it then. I for one welcome our new alien overlords.
