and alien conspiracies. The rest of the world, and more close-minded FBI agents are left in the dark, unable to ever gain a clear image of what is truly going on. Even Mulder and Scully are in the dark; Scully due to her ignorance of unscientific events, and Mulder because of his inability to solve the mystery of his sister\u2019s disappearance thus far.<\/span><\/p>\nThough unconfirmed, we do actually see a potential extraterrestrial in the Pilot episode of <\/span>The X-Files<\/span><\/i>. When the third victim of these suspicious deaths is exhumed from his grave, the corpse that is discovered isn\u2019t human. Based on her initial autopsy, Scully claims the body is that of an orangutan or of similar origin. However, this is never confirmed nor denied, and is skipped over surprisingly quickly. Looking at the corpse, it doesn\u2019t look like a creature of this earth\u2014it\u2019s a rather horrifying example of body horror in the episode. The camera doesn\u2019t shy away from showing us the corpse in detail, unflinchingly. Even if Scully\u2019s observations were correct, and the body was an orangutan\u2019s, why on earth would that have been placed in somebody\u2019s coffin? And where was the victim\u2019s body put instead? It\u2019s ironic that the logical explanation is actually quite illogical when considered for more than five seconds. Thus begins the hilarious ongoing theme of Scully rejecting alien existence despite seeing it right before her very eyes, which continues for an amusingly long time throughout the show. Then again, the alternative is believing in aliens, which I suppose is quite the leap for one so skeptical. We can\u2019t have <\/span>two <\/span><\/i>believers, otherwise where would the fun discussions be?<\/span><\/p>\n
