UFO/1900s-80s

===1900s===
On June 30, 1908, Tunguska tribesmen and Russian fur traders looked up into the southeastern Siberian sky and saw a fireball streaking to Earth. When it hit the atmosphere, it created a series of cataclysmic explosions that, even in November 1996, was still considered to be the largest single cosmic event in the history of the human civilization. The power of the blast leveled trees in a radial pattern for 2000 kilometers.
By 1996, no real, definitive evidence had ever been found to provide a satisfying explanation of what the fireball had been but it was speculated that it had been a piece of a comet, an asteroid, or even a piece of anti-matter In November 1996, Mulder uncovered evidence that the fireball had been a rock carrying an alien cancer known as "". 
===1940s===
Around the conclusion to World War II, news stories reporting UFO sightings were released to the public According to in 1997, these UFO sightings were part of a military hoax that started when, playing on a virulent national appetite for bogus revelation and a public newly fearful of the atomic bomb, the US Military Command began to "fan the flames" of UFO stories released to the public and used this phenomenon to satisfy the military's need for something to deflect attention away from its nuclear arms strategy. 
In 1945, a UFO crashed into the Pacific Ocean as the consequence of a hostile encounter with a B-20 that was transporting a nuclear bomb planned to be the third similar bomb dropped on Japan during World War II, and an accompanying squadron of P-51 Mustang airplanes. The American planes also crashed into the ocean following this encounter. Several secret salvage attempts to recover the UFO were made after this incident, including a search of the area later the same year by the Zeus Faber, a US submarine whose crew were mostly killed by an alien virus they unknowingly brought aboard. 
In 1947, the year of the first supersonic flight, a UFO reportedly crashed in Roswell, New Mexico This spacecraft and a body at the site were reportedly recovered at the time Parts from the wreckage of the craft were supposedly shipped to six sites, including Ellens Air Base in Southwest Idaho "" would later claim that, after this incident, even at the height of the Cold War, an ultra secret, international conference took place at which the attending countries agreed that, should any extraterrestrial survive a crash, the country that held that being would be responsible for its extermination Also following the Roswell incident, the US military opened several official investigations - such as Project Sign, Project Grudge, Project TWINKLE, Project "Blue Book" and Operation Majestic 12 - and brought in college professors and Congressmen who, after being provided with facts, fuzzy pictures and eyewitness accounts, became convinced that aliens had been visiting Earth, a belief that Doug MacArthur also came to share.
According to Michael Kritschgau, the military had realized that, the more they denied the Roswell story, the more people thought it was true that aliens had indeed landed and the realization that this represented a made-to-order cover story for Generals looking to develop the national war chest had led the military to open their official investigations related to UFO reports. Kritschgau described the facts that the military had shared with the college professors and Congressmen as "bogus" ones, "fed" to those people, and believed that Doug MacArthur had been "hooked" by the military into believing their hoax of alien visitations. Kritschgau also believed that, soon after the first supersonic flight, every experimental aircraft being flown had been a UFO sighting. 
Information about both the Roswell incident and the location of the UFO that crashed in the Pacific Ocean was added to the MJ documents. 
===1960s===
In August 1967, four sightings of UFOs were made near Lake Okobogee, Iowa. One of the sightings was reportedly witnessed by the pilot of a National Weather Service plane as well as four of the nine girls in a Girl Scout troop and their Den Mother. The four Girl Scouts were Lisa Tyrell, Bonnie Winston, Doreen McAllister and Darlene Morris. The United States Air Force claimed that the UFO was a weather balloon caught in a wind sheer, but no weather balloons were launched that day within seven hundred miles. By 1993, Darlene Morris' name was on record at the Center for UFO Studies in Evanston, Illinois, in connection with the sighting made by her and the other Girl Scouts. 
In 1994, "Deep Throat" claimed that, while he was with the CIA in the Vietnam War, a UFO was sighted for five nights over Hanoi but was shot down by the Marines and brought to "Deep Throat"'s group. 
===1980s===
For some of the night of June 3, 1985, a UFO could be seen in Pulaski, Virginia, outside and above a ramshackle house where lived. The craft was present as extraterrestrials visited him there.
