UFO/Phenomena

===Associated Phenomena===
During Billy Miles' consecutive abductions of both Karen Swenson and Theresa Nemman in Oregon in 1992, a bizarre dust devil momentarily swirled around each abductee as the bright light from the UFO engulfed the area and then faded. After the abduction of Karen Swenson but prior to that of Theresa Nemman, Scully discovered strange dirt on the floor of the same forest where the light from the UFO had appeared.
Shortly after finding that nine minutes had gone missing during their own encounter with the bright, white light while driving, Mulder told Scully that abductees and people who had made UFO sightings had also often reported unexplained . Conventional science, however, held that time was a universal invariance and could not just disappear. Other unexplained phenomena the agents encountered about the same time were a compass in the car strangely spinning in different directions and the car losing all power, including the vehicle's brakes and steering; the car would not start when Mulder tried turning the key but the vehicle powered up, seemingly of its own accord, soon after. This incident occurred on a section of highway where Scully and Mulder had previously driven, upon arriving in Oregon. Mulder had spray-painted the road with a large orange "X" after the radio in the car he and Scully had been traveling in had abruptly become active and had begun searching through radio bands without either of the agents controlling it. 
:Mulder also implies a relation between the area's UFO activity and turbulence experienced by the 747 he and Scully take to Oregon, moments before the aircraft lands.
Pilots assigned to Ellens Air Base exhibited abnormal behavioral problems. About two years prior to his disappearance in 1993, Colonel Budahas, a test pilot who had likely never washed out of anything in his life and had been presented with a presidential commendation, developed a rash under his arms that he and his wife, Anita, noticed. Even though they thought the rash was an innocent allergic reaction, Colonel Budahas' entire personality subsequently seemed to become more crazy and unpredictable; he started to do things like sprinkle Tetrameal-D all over his food, at a dinner party he and others had. When his wife tried to talk to him about these things, he would get extremely angry, yell at their children - Josh and Leslie - for no reason and then shake, like he was having a seizure.
Shortly before his disappearance, Colonel Budahas reportedly suffered a psychotic episode, violated base security procedure and commandeered a military vehicle. After he barricaded himself in his home, Military Police, who believed he was armed, raided his home and found him sitting trembling in a corner of a room, wearing only his underwear, and his skin had a crimson red, oozing rash that looked as if it had been burned and blistered. Colonel Budahas was subsequently hospitalized but members of the military, including a Colonel Kissel, refused to make any comment on him at all. After Colonel Budahas was returned home, Scully suspected that his strange behavior was due to a nervous breakdown but Mulder argued his belief that pilots such as Colonel Budahas and were physiologically incapable of dealing with the stress of flying such sensitive and advanced aircraft, of doing the kinds of maneuvers the agents had witnessed when they had seen the two UFOs above the airbase, performed at the extremely fast speed the agents had seen the maneuvers being done.
Similar to their refusal to remark on Colonel Budahas during his disappearance, the military, in regard to the six pilots who had gone missing from Ellens Air Base since 1963, would say only that the pilots had accepted the risks of flying experimental aircraft.
Like Colonel Budahas, Jim McLennan was another test pilot who was assigned to the base but started acting strangely almost two years before Mulder and Scully investigated the pilots in 1993. When the agents visited him, they saw him pull strands of hair from his closely shaved head and tie them to a hook used for fly fishing. His wife stated that she thought her husband acted strangely due to stress and claimed that the military had given him "plenty of therapy and treatment". Even though Scully later reinforced the idea that Jim McLennan's odd behavior was due to extreme stress by suggesting that he was suffering from a syndrome called stereotypy, Mulder reminded her that pilots were supposed to thrive on pressure, not fold under it. 
:Following Colonel Budahas' return, he demonstrates memory loss but Mulder attributes this condition to the military having selectively wiped parts of the colonel's memory rather than attributing it to the UFOs flown by the military. Mulder later demonstrates memory loss himself, after being captured on Ellens Air Base and being experimented on, injected with an unknown substance and having drops forced into his eyes. This supports his theory explaining the loss of memory he and Colonel Budahas experience.
Moments before Ruby Morris was abducted near Lake Okobogee in 1993, she was sleeping with her brother, Kevin Morris, while their mother, Darlene, slept in a cabover camper nearby. The camper shook with a tremor that started as a mild tremble and grew in intensity, while light started to flood through the camper's windows, to become a rocking quiver until both the light and the shaking dissipated. When Darlene Morris tried to leave the camper moments after her daughter's abduction, she burned her hand on the exit door, which was searing hot, but finally managed to open the door using an oven mitt.
The top of the camper's exterior was later discovered to show evidence of blistering heat, as the paint on the roof had been charred black and could be easily crumbled into ash. Similarly, the leaves on the treetops near Lake Okobogee had been burned away, leaving only thick trunks; this was evidence of either extreme heat, or an electrical storm. On the waterfront, grains of sand had solidified to become a shard of glass, as they would at a temperature of twenty-five hundred degrees Fahrenheit. After Ruby Morris was returned, Agents Mulder and Scully found that Ruby's medical records showed there was both an attendant reduction in the lymphocyte population and a release of glucocorticoids, symptoms of weightlessness similar to imbalances reported by shuttle astronauts.
:During the duration of Ruby Morris' abduction, binary sequence handwritten by Kevin Morris is decoded as encrypted contents including a classified defense satellite transmission, the illustration Da Vinci's Universal Man, a DNA double helix, a section of music from the Brandenburg Concertos, some lines from the Koran and a Shakespearean sonnet. Mulder and Scully later find sheets of binary sequence on the floor of the Morris residence, arranged in such a way as to resemble a large picture of Ruby Morris' face. The source of this digitized information is not directly established as being a UFO but, after Kevin Morris claims to be receiving the information from static on a television, Mulder comes to the conclusion that Kevin is some kind of conduit, link or connection to whoever or whatever has taken Ruby and, if there was an abduction, that Kevin was "touched" in some way.
The bartender at the Pennsylvania Pub in 1993 had a deformed ear that looked like the skin had been badly burned, but he kept it hidden under his hair. After Mulder entered the pub with Scully and claimed to the bartender that he himself was a nonbeliever in flying saucers, the bartender showed his ear to the agents as an example of the kind of things that might change Mulder's mind and told the agents he had gotten "a killer sunburn in the middle of the night". 
Another type of older alien spacecraft has been seen at least twice. This type is at least several million years old, and features writing engraved on the hull. The writing contains passages from religious texts and excerpts from world mythology, as well as scientific data about human origins, evolution, and genetics. One such ship was discovered on the Ivory Coast, buried beneath the sand on a beach, while another was found buried on the Canadian side of the U.S.-Canada border. These ships, and even components of them, were shown to be extremely powerful. Even rubbings of the writings etched in to the hull, or images of pieces of the ship, could have a profound effect on certain individuals. Particularly those whom had previously been exposed to alien experimentation or the black oil/purity virus. Associated phenomenon include hallucinations, illusions, strange animal activity, and the onset of dangerous over-stimulation in the frontal lobe, as occurred in the case of agent Mulder. In addition, a shard of the hull was shown to be able to move under its own power, by both spinning and flying across a room. 
This type of vessel was, in at least once case, shown to be capable of operation even after millions of years of disuse. This second craft of this type sported similar etchings, but of slightly different material. It, and a component from it, were shown to react to the presence of William. A piece of this craft was also capable of levitation, and was able to heal injuries. It was capable of killing people of its own volition, using some sort of fire-based method. That it was able to target a crowd of individuals yet specifically shield William from any harm suggests that it may have had some degree of intelligence. 
Like the super-soldiers, at least some alien craft were vulnerable to disruption when exposed to magnetite. According to the , the craft that crashed in Roswell was brought down by magnetite. It is unclear if this was accidental due to the craft drifting too close to a deposit of the ore, or if magnetite was actually used to intentionally attack it.
