Prehistory to 1970
- Thirteen to Fifteen Billion Years Ago
- The Big Bang, creating the universe. Within a billion
years, the Milky Way Galaxy forms. (The latest cosmological research provides two possible
figures for the age of the universe -- either 12 billion years or 13.5 billion years,
depending on which technique is used to reach the age estimate.)
- Five Billion Years Ago
- The sun ignites and Earth is formed.
- Four and a Half Billion Years Ago
- A rock is blasted off the surface of Mars by a meteor
impact. After floating in space, it eventually enters the atmosphere of Earth, and lands
in Siberia. It contains dormant biological organisms capable of entering living bodies.
(Terma and NASA)
- Millions of Years Ago, or more
- A virus sometimes known as the Black Oil and that has
the ability to take control of humanoid species is the "original inhabitant" of
the planet Earth, according to the Well Manicured Man. He adds that aliens came, also
apparently millions of years ago. Those that didn't leave have been dormant since the last
Ice Age, waiting for the Colonists.(Movie)
- 250,000 years ago
- A meteor crashes into Icy Point, Alaska, far north of
the Artic Circle. It carries several extraterrestrial organisms similar to worms that are
native to a cold ammonia environment. The worms have the ability to enter a human body and
cause the release of chemicals resulting in aggression. Two of the worms, however, will
not reside in the same body without kiling each other. (Ice)
- 35,000 B.C.
- Two human hunters follow a line of footprints through
the snow and enter an ice cave in what is now northern Texas, during the last ice age. The
footprints are three-toed, implying that they are not human. Inside the cave, they find
another of their kind, encased in ice. They are attacked by a highly aggressive creature
-- an alien. The alien is hard to see, but is based on a reptilian "grey" alien.
The first human is killed, but the second kills the alien. Black Oil pours out of the dead
alien and enters the body of the human. (Movie)
- Circa 1200
According to Mulder, reports of mysterious lights
around Brown Mountain go back this far, although the literature is vague abouthow this
date was established. There are no written records this old and the date derived from
Indian legend. The first written report by a white man will be in 1771. According to
Indian legend, a great battle was fought that year between the Cherokee and Catawba
Indians near Brown Mountain. The Cherokees believed that the lights were the spirits of
Indian maidens who went on searching through the centuries for their husbands and
sweethearts who had died in the battle. (Historical)
- Circa 1400
- A colony of tree mites infects a tree in what will
someday be the Olympia National Forest of northwest Washington state. They continue to
survive inside the tree as the years pass, and additional tree rings surround them. The
insects cocoon their prey and drain the fluids, attacking prey as large as humans.
Wherever the insects swarm, an oily residue is left behind. (Darkness Falls)
- 1513
- Juan Ponce de Leon makes his first exploration in
Florida, seeking the legendary "fountain of youth." Instead he finds death by an
Indian arrow. (Historical)
- Mulder speculates that if anyone actually found the
Fountain of Youth and remained living in the forest, they might have adapted to their
environment, and become significantly changed. He feels X-Files about "Moth Men"
may refer to those who drank from the Fountain of Youth. (Detour)
- 1771
- Geraud de Brahm, a German engineer and the first
white man to explore the reigon now known as North Carolina reports what has come to be
known as the "Brown Mountain Lights." The lights, also reported in Indian
legend, are described as dancing, flickering, and darting. Sometimes at night they seem to
drift slowly, fading and brightening. At other times they seem to whirl like pinwheels,
then dart rapidly away. Brown Mountain is located in Burke County, between Morganton and
Lenoir, in the western part of North Carolina. (Historical)
- Circa 1800
- Contradictory evidence suggests that around this year
an Extraterrestrial Biological Entity may have been frozen in ice near a glacier in the
Yukon Territory. The body found there in 1997 may also be a hoax. (Gethsemane)
- 1805
- Members of the Lewis and Clark expedition, exploring
the Northwest, write of Indian men who are able to change their shape into that of a wolf.
(Shapes)
- Just after entering what is now South Dakota, Lewis
and Clark visit "Spirit Mound," an isolated hill, alone in the middle of the
plains. Indians who live in the area refuse to approach Spirit Mound, because they say it
is the home of "little devils with large heads, whose arrows can kill at an unusual
distance." Lewis and Clark find no evidence of little beings with large heads, alien
or otherwise. In spite of efforts of local residents over several decades to make Spirit
Mound a state park, it remains under the private ownership of a farmer, with a large
cattle feedlot along one side. (The Journals of Lewis and Clark and current accounts)
- April 4, 1849
- The recorded date of birth of L.H. Rice, pseudonym of
Alfred Fellig. This may be Fellig's actual birth, but because he used a series of false
identities, it may be a false entry.(Tithonus)
- 1850
- Around this year, the Chinese Wanshang Dhole wild dog
is believed to become extinct. The dog, a scavanger, is also the basis for Chinese myth
and legend which calls it a trickster dog, able to open doors, steal wives and disappear
into thin air. The Wangshang Dhole may also be related to a form of Chinese werewolf,
which does not become extinct. (Alpha)
- 1855
- Yellow Fever, spread by mosquitoes, kills many people
in the United States as far north as Boston. This is the last of several epidemics of
Yellow Fever to impact New York, although the last great Yellow Fever epidemic was in New
Orleans in 1878. (Historical Accounts)
- L.H. Rice is hospitalized in an epidemic ward and
expects to die. He believes he sees a glimpse of Death walking through the ward, taking
the souls. He closes his eyes and refuses to look at Death, and his nurse died instead of
him. He recovers from Yellow Fever and finds himself to be immortal. (Tithonus)
- November 23, 1863
- Union troops, having held Chattanooga, Tennessee,
since September, join 60,000 other Union troops to attempt to capture the countryside
around the city. After two days, Confederate forces still hold Missionary Ridge, southeast
of Chattanooga, until the Union's General George H. Thomas moves in to relieve General
Sherman, taking the ridge in the process. (Historical accounts.)
- November 26, 1863
- Confederate soldier Sullivan Biddle dies in a battle
with Union troops in Hamilton County Tennessee, when Union troops of General Thomas catch
up with the retreating forces of Confederate General Clayborn near Apison House. Biddle's
lover, nurse Sarah Kavanaugh hides nearby in a bunker. 133 years later, Fox Mulder comes
to believe he was Biddle in a previous life. (The Field Where I Died)
- 1864
- The Peacock family builds a farm in Home,
Pennsylvania, and begins (or maybe continues) a practice of genetic inbreeding. (Home)
- Late 1800s
- A religious sect settles near Steveston,
Massachusetts. They believe in complete isolation from other people, except for the
occasional visit to the Steveston feed store. Actually, they (apparently) are aliens, with
the ability to change sex and to emit massive amounts of pheromones that can, among other
things, create extreme sexual desire in humans. (Genderbender)
There is limited evidence that other enclaves of aliens may exist in
other parts of the country, such as Georgia. January 1, 1895
- J. Edgar Hoover is born. (Historical)
- 1902
- Walter Chaco is born. (Our Town)
- 1903
- Eugene Victor Tooms commits a series of five murders
in the Baltimore area, but is not captured. An apparent genetic mutation, Tooms has the
ability to hibernate and to stretch his body. He begins a pattern of awakening from
hibernation every 30 years. His goal in each murder is to extract the liver of each
victim.(Squeeze) (Was Tooms an early human/alien hybrid?)
- 1908
- The US Government Special Agent Force is renamed the
Bureau of Investigation. (Historical)
- June 30, 1908
- At Tunguska, in Russian Siberia, a huge explosion
occurs, laying waste to a huge geographic area. No scientific study team reaches the site
until 1927. It finds fallen trees in a pattern radiating outward from a central point. No
crater is found. It is generally considered to be an explosion of a very large meteor or a
small comet. (Historical)
- Dr. Alexander Kazentsev is a member of the Russian
scientific team and is struck that immediately under the center of the explosion, the tops
of trees are missing, whereas their trunks are still standing. Surrounding them, trees are
down in uniform directions, radiating out from the central point. Years later, he later
studies the damage after the Hiroshima nuclear explosion, and finds tree trunks with their
tops missing directly under the coordinates of the aerial bomb explosion, and trees
farther away down in a radial pattern.
- He returns to Tunguska in another expedition and
finds radioactivity in the soil, as well as fragments of metal that appear to be alloyed.
In his official report on the new expedition, Kazentsev concludes that the 1908 explosion
was nuclear in nature, slightly more than a mile above the ground, and was the result of
the explosion of "some very large artificial construction weighing in excess of
50,000 tons, which was being directed toward a landing when its atomic engines
exploded." (Details from Stranger Than Science by Frank Edwards, copyright 1959,
Bantam books)
- 1917
- Harry Cokley is born in southeast Nebraska. He is the
only son in family of five daughters, and is often beaten by his father. (Aubrey)
- December 24, 1917
- In Maryland, young lovers Maurice and Lyla die in a
murder-suicide pact because they are anguished by World War I and the great flu epidemic
that is killing thousands of people across the country. Their pact is to always spend
Christmas Eve together, even after death. They become ghosts, often haunting residents of
the mansion as the result of their belief that murder-suicide is the greatest possible
expression of love and togetherness. Over the next 80 years three additional
murder-suicides occur in the mansion, always on Christmas Eve. A book is eventually
written about Maurice and Lyla's deaths, "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas" by R.
Grimes. (How the Ghosts Stole Christmas)
- 1925
- J. Edgar Hoover becomes Director of the Bureau of
Investigation, later renamed the FBI. (Historical)
- The Well Manicured Man is born, based on age of actor
John Neville.
- Arthur Dales is born, based on age of Darrin McGavin,
and the fact that the young Dales in Travelers looked like he was in his early to
mid-thirties.
- 1928
- Bill Mulder is born, based on age of actor Peter
Donat.
- July 21, 1929
- Photographer Lewis Brady is convicted for the murder
of two people. Lewis Brady is a pseudonym for Alfred Fellig, aka L.H. Rice, an immortal
man who hoped to encounter Death as his victims died. He later walks away from a prison
facility and is never recaptured.(Tithonus)
- 1930s
- Eddie Van Blundht, Sr., is born with a vestigial tail
and a unique layer of voluntary muscle under his entire layer of skin, which allows him to
"make faces" and appear to be other people. (Small Potatoes)
- 1930
- A Trego Indian boy named Ish is born.(Shapes)
- 1931
- Circa this date, Cigarette Smoking Man is born.
(Based on being an adult in 1953, as seen in 731.)
- 1932
- The Bureau of Investigation is renamed the US Bureau
of Investigation, later to be called the Federal bureau of Investigation. (Historical)
- March 1, 1932
- The abduction of Charles Lindbergh Junior from his
bedroom, called by many the "crime of the century." The Bureau of Investigation
participates in the investigation. A badly decomposed child's body is found May 12 and
publicly identified as that of Charles Junior, although the medical examiner refuses to
make a positive identification. Bruno Richard Hauptmann is eventually arrested, tried and
executed for the abduction. Questions persist for decades that suggest his innocence.
(Historical)
- 1933
- Tooms commits his second series of five murders, in
Powhattan Mill, but is not captured. Only four of the bodies are found, because one is
buried in the concrete floor of a factory. Among the investigators is a young officer
named Frank Briggs. The crime haunts him for the rest of his life. (Tooms) (The Tooms
crimes may be based on the Halls-Mill Murders, in October 1922 -- an infamous serial
murder case in New Jersey that was never solved.)
- 1934
- A WPA logging crew vanishes in the Olympic National
Forest in northwest Washington. (Darkness Falls)
- Amy Cassandra is born. She will eventually believe
that she is the victim of alien abductions. (Demons)
- Teena Mulder is born circa this year.
- Circa 1935
- A series of photographs is taken of The Kindred, a
sect of religious isolationists in Pennsylvania. In 1994, many of the same faces will be
seen on the Kindred farm. They are apparently from another world. (Genderbender) (Is this
the basis for the apparent ability of aliens to clone?)
- July 1, 1935
- The US Bureau of Investigation is renamed the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. (Historical)
- Finger prints are taken of Henry Strand, which in
1999 Mulder finds match those of Alfred Fellig and Lewis Brady.(Tithonus)
- 1936
- Josh Exley is born in the Macon, Georgia, area. He
will disappear at age 6. (The Unnatural)
- September 3, 1939
- Britain declares war on Germany after Germany invades
Poland. (Historical)
- Southwest of the Bahamas, the British ship SS Queen
Anne is boarded reported sunk by a German torpedo. Mulder believes that it entered the
Bermuda Triangle and became caught in a time warp. In events that may be real or may be a
dream, Mulder visits the ship in 1939 and learns that the German troops boarded the ship
after picking up a radio message using the code word "Thor's Hammer." Initially
they believe that the ship has left America with armaments but they learn that Thor's
Hammer refers to a scientist who has expertise to build an atomic bomb. (See the entry for
Triangle on November 16, 1998, for more details.)
- September 27, 1939
- Warsaw, Poland, surrenders to the Nazi blitzkrieg.
(Historical)
- Mulder believes he lives a previous life as a Jewish
woman in the Warsaw ghetto. (The Field in Which I Died)
- 1940s
- Scientists of Germany's Third Reich conduct a series
of experiments on unwilling human subjects. Generally reviled as inhumane and barbaric,
they were intended to be the basis for a eugenics program to improve the race.(Historical)
- After Germany surrenders, many of the scientists of
the German eugenics program are brought to the United States as part of Operation
Paperclip. (Historical)
- A German industrialist named Strughold flees Germany,
apparently after the downfall of the Reich. He takes up residence in Tunis. (Movie) (Note
that exactly when Strughold fled Germany is vague. Instead of the end of WWII it is
possible that is happened later and with different circumstances, such as from postwar
Communist East Germany.)
- Reader Erik Pflueger provides the information that
this character is likely a reference to Hubertus Strughold, a real-life German scientist
whose work, because of Operation Paper Clip, aided the American space program, at the cost
of Jewish lives.
- 1940
- Margaret Scully is born circa this year.
- August 20, 1940
- In Mexico City, a Stalinist agent assassinates Leon
Trotsky. (Historical)
- Frohike believes that at that same moment, the person
to be known as the Cigarette Smoking Man is born, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. (This date is
not possible, since the Smoking Man and Bill Mulder were adults in 1953, seen in 731.)
- Frohike later relates to Mulder and Scully the
information the Cigarette Smoking Man writes about his character in the story A Second
Chance. Some elements may be semi-autobiographical. According to the story, as published
in 1996 in "Roman a Clef" magazine, Cigarette Smoking Man/Jack Colquitt's father
is an ardent communist activist, keeping the Soviet Union informed about American plans to
enter World War II. The man was executed in a Louisiana electric chair under the espionage
act of 1917, before his son could walk. His mother died of lung cancer before her son was
old enough to talk. The child becomes a ward of the state, sent to various orphanages
around the Midwest. He makes few friends and spends all of his free time alone, reading.
(Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man)
- 1941?
- The Philadelphia Experiment may have begun as early
as this year. Scully later says it was an effort to make battleships invisible to radar
during World War II, but as the Manhattan Project heated up, it was de-emphasized. She
says most of the scientists were relocated to Los Alamos, but Mulder claims most never
made it there, and were transferred to Roswell, New Mexico instead. Mulder has also
suggested that the Philadelphia Experiment reportedly caused the USS Eldridge to disappear
from Philadelphia and reappear in Norfolk, Virginia, after the Roswell incident in 1947.
(Dod Kalm) Other popular accounts suggest that it was in 1943 and that the ship
disappeared in Norfolk and reappeared in Philadelphia. Some suggest that it teleported and
some that it sailed while invisible. All accounts say that crew on the ship suffered or
died as the result of the experiment.
- The father of the Cigarette Smoking Man is executed
in Louisiana, for espionage. The young Cigarette Smoking Man becomes an orphan.(If you
believe Musings...)
- 1942
- A Japanese medical unit, 731, conducts human
experimentation similar to that of German Victor Klemperer, experimenting on human
subjects. Takeo Ishimaru is a leader of the effort.(731)
- FBI Special Agents Sam Chaney and Tim Ledbetter
disappear in Aubrey, Missouri, while investigating three rape/murders in which the word
"sister" was slashed across the chests of the victims. The partners use
psychology to solve crimes years before the FBI accepts the technique. It is learned years
later that they were killed by Harry Cokley, then a resident of Terrance, Nebraska, an
hour's drive away. Chaney was buried in a field and Ledbetter in the basement of the house
in which Cokley lived at the time. (Aubrey)
- Also sometime in 1942 six year old Josh Exley
disappears from Macon, Georgia. At about the same time, an adult black man calling himself
Josh Exley shows up in Roswell, NM, and begins playing baseball in the Cactus League. The
adult Exley is a gray alien, shape-changed to appear human, because he has fallen in love
with the game of baseball. The aliens do not allow participation in such games and he
leaves "his family" without permission, planning to play in the cactus league
because the scrutiny of the major leagues could compromise the secret of his background.
An alien bounty hunter becomes a Macon police officer, planted to watch for missing person
reports of the name Josh Exley, since apparently the aliens do not read sports news about
minor league baseball. (The Unnatural)
- 1944
- The existence of DNA is discovered. (Historical)
- A Navy transport plane carrying 42 year old Walter
Chaco is shot down over New Guinea, and he is the only survivor. He lives with the
cannibalistic Jale tribe for six months before being rescued. He learns from them how to
prolong life by cannibalism. (Our Town)
- 1945
- Harry Cokley, of Terrance, Nebraska, is convicted of
rape and attempted murder and sentenced to McAlister Penitentiary after carving the word
"sister" with razor on the chest of Linda Tibideaux of Edmund, Nebraska.
Tibideaux survives the assault, and has Cokley's son nine months later. Given up for
adoption, the child is given the name Raymond Morrow. Authorities do not connect the case
with Sam Chaney's case in Aubrey, Missouri, in 1942. (Aubrey)
- April 26, 1945
- The Joint Chiefs of Staff issue Order 1067 to General
Dwight David Eisenhower to "preserve from destruction and take under your control
records, plans, documents, papers, files and scientific, industrial and other information
and data belonging to...German organizations engaged in military research." The
effort is known as Operation Paper Clip and includes 127 German scientists and engineers
including Werner von Braun. (Historical)
- Apparently included in this group is Victor
Klemperer, who had conducted gruesome experiments on Jewish prisoners in concentration
camps. There are allegations he may have experimented on combining human and alien DNA,
then or later. (Might he have experimented on a Jewish woman from Warsaw, carrying Fox
Mulder's soul?) (731 & Nisei)
- Early August 1945
- A B-29 transporting a nuclear bomb similar to those
used on Japan, and an escort squadron of P-51 Mustangs, crash after an encounter with a
triangular-shaped UFO, known to pilots as a Foo Fighter, that also crashes, at 171E, 42N,
part way between the western Hawaiian Islands and the Aleutians. (Date is based on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, followed by Japanese surrender August 14, 1945.)
- The United States submarine Zeus Faber, under Captain
Sandford and XO Johansen, is dispatched to locate the planes, which it does. When a
Japanese destroyer approaches, the submarine hides on silent running, and crew members
develop radiation burns. Sandford is taken over by an alien that can occupy human bodies,
and appears to the crew to be acting irrationally. The alien resides in 50 weight diesel
oil, as a medium. When it occupies a human body, it gives the appearance of diesel oil
within the eyeball.
- Johanson seals the Captain in the ward room, and
takes the submarine back to Pearl Harbor. The other crew in the ward room kill Sandford,
and diesel oil evacuates the body. Of 144 men, only 7 survive, some of whom are
hospitalized for years. They never receive an explanation. Johansen remains on active
duty, so apparently is not disciplined for technical mutiny.
- The UFO, the aircraft and the nuclear bomb are all
left in place on the ocean floor. The alien may or may not have returned to America.
(Piper Maru, Apocrypha, 731 & Nisei)
- Note: Zeus Faber is the name of a deep sea fish that
changes color to blend into its surroundings.
- September 20, 1945
- German scientists from the V2 base at Peenemunde in
the US under Operation Paper Clip arrive at Fort Strong, Mass. The first group of seven
men includes Werner von Braun. Many of the Germans are eventually relocated to White
Sands, New Mexico, where 100 captured V2 rockets are reassembled and tested. (Historical)
- 1946
- J. Edgar Hoover opens the very first Unexplained
Phenomenon case, dealing with lycanthropy. During World War II a series of murders occurs
around the Northwest, including seven in Browning, Montana. Each victim is ripped to
shreds and eaten, as if by a wild animal. Several of the victims, however, were found at
home, as if they had invited their killer into their homes. In Glacier National Park,
authorities corner what they believe is this animal in a cabin. They shoot it, but when
they enter the cabin to retrieve the dead animal they find only the body of Richard
Watkins. The murders stop. Hoover locks the cases away in the X-Files, because they are
unsolved. A 16 year old Trego Indian boy named Ish briefly sees the animal transform near
Watkin's house and believes it to be a werewolf. (Shapes)
The Unexplained Phenomenon cases are initially filed under
"U" in the Washington DC FBI office. They will later be moved to the roomier
"X" drawer and will come to be known as "X-Files". (Travelers)
- Circa 1946, Walter Chaco settles in Dudley, Arkansas,
and begins building the chicken processing plant that becomes the major employer in the
community. He slowly begins teaching his neighbors what he learned in New Guinea about
prolonging live via cannibalism. (Our Town)
- 1947
- An X-File is opened on the Jersey Devil case after a
motorist is dragged off while changing a tire. The body is eventually found, with one leg
eaten off. A large naked man is cornered in the woods and gunned down. The autopsy shows
human tissue in the man's digestive tract.
- June 24, 1947
- A civilian pilot flying over the Cascade Mountains in
the State of Washington observes nine flying disc-shaped aircraft travelling in formation
at a high rate of speed. Although this is not the first known sighting of such objects, it
is the first to gain widespread attention in the public media. Hundreds of reports of
sightings of similar objects follow, leading to the first major "UFO Flap" in
the United States.
- June 29-July 2, 1947
- One of two brothers named Arthur Dales (not the one
in the FBI in the 1950s) is a police officer in Roswell, NM, and is assigned to protect
negro baseball star Josh Exley from racist threats that the game of baseball should be
kept white. Exley plays for an all-negro team called the Roswell Grays. Dales ends up
traveling on the team bus, and at night, in a lightning storm, Exley's reflection in the
bus window appears to be the image of a gray alien. The next day, during a game, Exley is
hit on the head with a ball and knocked out. He murmers words in an unknown language and
claims to be from Macon, Georgia. Dales finds green acid on the glove used to cushion
Exley's head and sends it off to be tested. Dales calls the Macom police and learns that
Josh Exley was a six year old child that disappeared about the time Exley arrived in
Roswell. The Macon police officer Dales talks with is really a bounty hunter. Exley denies
to Dales that he was ever in Macon. Dales thinks Exley "tanked" the game that
day because American League scouts were there and he did not want to be recruited into the
major leagues, because Exley has a secret. That night, Dales sees a gray alien in Exley's
room, wearing a baseball cap and holding a bat. Dales faints at the sight, but the alien
wakes him up and tells him he is Exley -- this is his real face. Exley morphs into a
pretty girl to prove his claim. The next day they talk more. Exley says his people guard
their privacy and don't allow intermingling, but when he discovered baseball he
immediately fell in love. The bounty hunter arrives in Roswell, looking for Exley. Posing
as Exley, he goes to the lab and kills the lab technician who was testing the acid on the
glove. Dales finds Exley and warns him that a witness claims he killed a man. Exley says
he talked "with his family" and they want him to come home. He leaves,
supposedly to go back home, and several "men in black" question Dales.
Exley actually, however, returns to the baseball team and plays a
night game. After a home run, several men in the white sheets of the Ku Klux Klan and
carrying guns ride up on horses. Exley has gotten too good and the KKK wants to keep the
game of baseball white-only. They threaten Exley, but the white baseball team overcomes
the klansmen, one of whom, knocked unconscious, is seen to be a gray alien. Everyone else
runs off and Exley confronts the bounty hunter, who quickly awakes. The bounty hunter says
he warned Exley and tells him to show his true face so he can die with honor. Exley does
not morph. Dales drives up as Exley is killed. The bounty hunter escapes and Dales
concentrates on Exley, who is dieing. Exley warns Dales that his blood is like acid, but
Dales finds only red blood. Exley apparently loved the game of baseball so much that it
transformed him into a human, but Mulder can't figure out if the story is
metaphorical.(All events described by Dales to Mulder in The Unnatural.)
- July 4, 1947
- The alleged Roswell New Mexico UFO incident, on or
about this date. On July 8 a news release is issued from Roswell Army Air Field claiming
to have recovered a crashed "disk." The following day, however, another news
release says it was actually the remains of a weather balloon.(Historical accounts.)
- Deep Throat later says that alien DNA was first
obtained in 1947, but that Roswell was a smoke screen, and that a half dozen better
samples were obtained between 1947 and 1994. (The Erlenmeyer Flask)
- In The Unnatural, Mulder said Josh Exley disappeared
without a trace, although he was seen to be killed by the bounty hunter. Did the men in
black recover his body, then stage a UFO hoax to cover their tracks?
- In Two Fathers, several references are made to
"50 years, since Roswell." Regardless of whether it was a UFO crash or not,
apparently contact is made at Roswell between the alien colonists and the government.
- As a result of whatever happens at Roswell, a secret
government project begins within the State Department to investigate and study the aliens.
The Project is staffed with German scientists given immunity from war crimes and allowed
to continue the eugenic experiments of the Third Reich. Japanese scientists also
participate in the work.
- Less than nine months after the Roswell crash,
according to Mulder, the scientists of the Philadelphia Experiment reportedly cause the
USS Eldridge to disappear from Philadelphia and reappear in Norfolk, Virginia. Mulder
believes they were manipulating naturally-occurring wormholes. (Dod Kalm)
- Deep Throat also says a super-secret meeting of
representatives of many nations meets in 1947 to agree that any alien survivors of UFO
crashes shall be exterminated. (E.B.E.) At another time, he says this order was from
Security Council Resolution 1013. (Musings...)
- September 24, 1947
- It has also often been reported that in 1947, the Top
Secret US Government project known as Majestic 12, or MJ-12, is created, possibly by a
special classified executive order of President Truman on 24 September, 1947. According to
some reports, membership of MJ-12 included Dr. Detlev Bronk and Dr. Jerome Hunsaker, names
mentioned by Dana Scully in her Senior Thesis.(Popular reports and Musings...)
- January 6, 1948
- Paula Gray is born, the granddaughter of Walter
Chaco, who is in the process of building his chicken processing plant in Dudley, Arkansas.
(Our Town)
- 1949
- A royal battleship disappears between Leeds and Cape
Perry, on the 65th parallel northwest of the British isles. The seas were calm and the
weather sunny.(Dod Kalm)
- Circa this date, the Cigarette Smoking Man enters the
Army. (Musings...)
- Melvin Frohike is born, based on the age of actor Tom
Braidwood.
- 1950s
- In McMinnville, Oregon, a UFO is photographed above a
field. This photograph is the first picture shown in the X-Files opening credits.
- In Christmas Carol, Scully dreams that her mother,
Margaret, tells about being given a cross necklace at about the same age by her mother.
Given Margaret's apparent age, and the ages at which her children were born, this gift was
probably given to Margaret by Dana Scully's grandmother in the 50s.
- Young military officers Bill Mulder and Alvin
Kurtzweil are recruited to "the Project." Kurtzweil eventually becomes
disillusioned, and leaves. He becomes an OB/GYN doctor, and publishes several books about
doomsday ahead, but he is generally discounted. Bill Mulder remains with the Project for
many years, operating under the cover of being employed by the State Department. Mulder,
however, has ethical problems with the way the Project is run. (Movie)
- 1952
- Walter Sergei Skinner is born. (Date based on the age
of actor Mitch Pileggi, which is consistent with Skinner being in Vietnam at age 18, in
1970. Middle name given in Tunguska.)
- The first Unexplained File dealing with what comes to
be known as the "Moth Men" case is opened. The case involved primitive-looking
men with glowing red eyes.(Detour)
- 1952 ????
- The Unexplained Files overcrowd the "U"
file drawer in the Washington D.C. FBI office. At some time in 1952 or earlier an
enterprising file clerk moves the files to the roomier "X" drawer, and they
slowly come to be known as "X-Files." (Travelers)
- 1952 ????
- Veterans Edward Skur and two other men are told they
need surgery for war wounds. In reality, German scientists working for the US government
graft other living organisms into their bodies. The organisms occasionally emerge through
their mouths and can dissolve all of the internal tissue of other people. Out of revenge,
Skur begins to plot to kill the German scientists. (Travelers)
- 1952
- Operatives of the conspiracy use positions of power
in the House Un-American Activities Committee to pursue their goals. (Travelers)
- June 24, 1952
- One of two brothers named Arthur Dale (not the one
who was a police officer in roswell, NM) and his partner, Agent Hayes Michel, arrest
Edward Skur for failing to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee of the
US Congress. Dale is later told that Skur has hung himself in his jail cell and there are
photographs that it is later learn are faked. Dale goes to the Skur home to tell Mrs. Skur
of her husband's death, but encounters Edward Skur there. They struggle and Dale sees
something attempting to emerge from Skur's mouth, but there is a disturbance and Skur runs
off. Dale files his report but the HUAC prosecutor, Mr. Cohn, convinces him to change his
report to not identify Skur, saying that some things must be kept from the public.
- Skur's name keeps coming up in Dale's life. He and
Michels are called to the home of a former German scientist who is dead with all of the
internal organs of his body missing. A note Dale finds there summons Dale to a secret
meeting with Bill Mulder who tells him that Skur is a patriot. He and two other men had
something done to them against their will and Skur wants vengance. It becomes clear to
Dale that HUAC is a cover-up for a more sinister conspiracy within the American
government. Skur thinks Dale and Michel are part of the plot against him. Dale calls
Michel's home, but Skur has already been there and Michel is dead. Viewers see some kind
of living organism exit Skur's mouth to kill Michel -- apparently entering his body and
destroying the internal organs.
- Later, when Dale is at the Michel crime scene, Cohn
arrives and proclaims "national security" to have the body removed. Dale
investigates the other two men identified by Bill Mulder. One, Gissing, was found dead in
the last few days alongside another German scientist, whose internal organs were all
missing. An autopsy finds a living organism inside Gissing's throat, held in by sutures.
Dale calls on Mrs. Skur and accuses her of knowing her husband is still alive. He says
Skur was the victim of Xenotransplantation -- the process of grafting another living
organism into a human body. He says German scientists experimented with it during WWII.
When Dale leaves, Mrs. Skur goes to her husband in a backyard fallout shelter, the
organism emerges from his mouth and kills her.
- Dale is taken to J. Edgar Hoover who lectures him
about the communist threat and gives Dales one chance to save himself. He is sent to an
arranged meeting with Skur, wearing a hidden transmitter. Bill Mulder is one of the
escorts to the meeting site. Skur tells Dale that "they" want Dale dead. They
fight and the organism begins to emerge from Skur's mouth but Dale manages to handcuff
Skur and escape death.
- Bill Mulder eventually helps Skur escape captivity.

- Birthday of twins Roland Fuller and Arthur Grable.
They are separated in childhood, and Roland becomes autistic. Arthur becomes an
experimental physicist. (Roland)
- 1950s
- Use of radiation to treat various ailments is common,
because the medical profession does not understand the dangers. Certain governmental
agencies conduct testing of radioactive treatments on civilians without their informed
consent. (Historical)
- Early 1950s
- According to Deep Throat, the federal government
learns that the Soviets are experimenting with eugenics in order to attempt to develop a
super soldier. In reaction, the government somehow manages to clone two people. Eight sets
of boy and girl clones are born and raised in a controlled compound at a place called
Litchfield. The project comes to be called the Litchfield Experiment. The boys are called
Adam and the girls Eve. (Eve.)(Deep Throat occasionally lied to Mulder, or distorted the
truth. Details could be different from what he reported.)
- 1953
- Beginning this year, Majestic begins flying aircraft
using antigravity propulsion systems. It is learned that antigravity propulsion operates
by bending space-time. It is also learned that lost time is a common symptom of close
proximity to antigravity propulsion systems.(Dreamland)(Dreamland is not clear, but the
antigravity propulsion system is apparently based on UFO technology. If so, the technology
was apparently obtained after the Roswell crash.)
- August 19, 1953
- The last survivor of the ward room of the Zeus Faber
is interviewed by a task force from Washington that includes William Mulder and the
Cigarette Smoking Man. They ask if the crewman considers the oil that seeped from Captain
Johansen to have been an entity. Even this early, the Smoking Man smokes Morley
Cigarettes. (Apocrypha)
- Note: Given that Bill Mulder and the Smoking Man are
seen as Army Captains in 1962, they may be junior officers at this time, although they
appear in civilian clothes. (If you believe Musings...)
- 1954
- An second series of murders in the northwest, in
which the victims are ripped to shreds and eaten. The case remains unsolved. (Shapes)

such as the SR-71 Blackbird and the F-117A fighter. (Published accounts)
- At some point, the testing of antigravity propulsion
systems based on alien technology is moved to Groom Lake.(Dreamland)
- July, 1955

other people's death. (Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose)
- A third series of murders in the northwest, in which
the victims are ripped to shreds and eaten. The case remains unsolved. (Shapes)
- 1960
- Circa 1960, Albert Tanner is born. He has the unique
ability to regenerate injuries to his body, and must consume cancer in order to survive.
Mulder will later speculate that Tanner is a mutation that incorporates cancer into the
"normal" condition of Tanner's body. (Leonard Betts.)
- Warren James Dupre is born in Klamath Falls,
Washington.(In Lazarus, Dupre said he was born in the Year of the Rat, which was January
28, 1960 to February 14, 1961)

- The Bay of Pigs invasion, in which the American
government secretly supports an invasion of Cuba by expatriates at the Cienaga de Zapata
swamps of Las Villas Province, Cuba. The invasion fails when the anticipated popular
uprising does not occur. Many of the invasion forces had been trained by the Cigarette
Smoking Man, who meets E. Howard Hunt during this training. (Historical and Musings...)
- May 17, 1961
- Clayton Jones pulls off the road for a nap near
Dudley, Arkansas. He is found three days later in a deranged condition, claiming to have

- Cigarette Smoking Man aides Dominican locals in the
assassination of Raphael Trujio. (Musings...)
- September 19, 1961
- Betty and Barney Hill have an encounter with a UFO on
a rural stretch of highway between Lancaster and Concord, New Hampshire. They experience
missing time, and over the months become more and more disturbed about the events.
Finally, in 1964, they undergo a series of hypnotic regression sessions, with a trained
psychiatrist. Under hypnosis, they independently confirm each others stories of being
taken on board a UFO and subjected to tests. The psychologist concludes that the
experiences may have been based in a dream by Betty, and that Barney may have absorbed his
account from her descriptions of her dream. Betty and Barney, however, finish the therapy
with the definite opinion that they were abducted. (The Interrupted Journey, by John G.
Fuller)
- October 13, 1961
- Fox William Mulder is born, to William and Tina
Mulder. The family home is in Chilmark, on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, near Otis Air
Force Base and Camp Edwards Military Reservation on the mainland. The family also has a
summer home in Qounochontaug, RI, (pronounced QUAN-uh- kah-tagh) near US Highway 1 in
southwest Rhode Island. William Mulder allegedly works for the State Department, but in
fact is deeply involved in the work of The Conspiracy. Fox presently discovers he is
red-green color blind. (Bill Mulder calls Fox a one year old in a Musings... scene
identified as October 1962. Some fan sources once gave October 11th as Fox's birthday. The
13th was on the file folder in Paperclip, and repeated on the driver's license in Small
Potatoes.)
- 1961
- William and Maggie Scully are married in this year,
or earlier. A favorite song of William's, Beyond the Sea, is used in the ceremony,
recognizing that he is an officer in the US Navy.
- 1962
- Melissa Scully is born. (Based on her grave stone,
seen in Apocrypha.)
- Vickie Crump is born. (Drive)
- April 18, 1962
- A UFO is seen by many witnesses to fly across the
United States. First seen near Oneida, New York, it is reported in several states. A UFO,
probably the same one, lands near a power substation in Utah, causing a large blackout.
The UFO later apparently explodes in western New Mexico, lighting up the evening ski in
nearby Reno. The light of the explosion is reportedly visible in California. The Atomic
Energy Commission denies that any nuclear test is conducted on this day. Air Force
personnel state to reporters that the UFO has been racked on radar. (News accounts)
- On December 24, 1991, Deep Throat mentions "all
of our work in the past 30 years, all of our victories..." to the Cigarette Smoking
Man, implying that their work together, or a major project began in late 1961 or early
1962. (Musings...) This does not particularly agree with One Son, which places 1973 and
1947 as the major events in the history of the Consortium.
- October, 1962
- Young Fox Mulder speaks his first words,
"JFK." His mother sends a photo of herself and Fox to Bill Mulder, at Fort
Bragg, where he is stationed. A copy ends up in the possession of the Cigarette Smoking
Man. (Musings...)
- October 22, 1962
- The Cuban Missile Crisis. (Historical)
- William Scully is at sea with the US navy during the
missile crisis. When he arrives home, a favorite song, Beyond the Sea, is played in his
honor. His wife later mentions something about him marching off the boat and proposing to
her. (Beyond the Sea) Given that Melissa Scully was born in 1962 (Apocrypha), either
Maggie Scully was not clear in her statement about the proposal, or Melissa was
illegitimate.
- October 30, 1962
- At the Center for Special Warfare, Fort Bragg, North
Carolina, the Cancer Man, a Captain in the Army, is recruited to kill President Kennedy,
by General Frantz. Frantz, a two star general, is also an aviator (based on the wings on
his uniform) and smokes Morley cigarettes. Cancer Man lies and says he never touches
cigarettes, although he has been smoking since at least 1953.
- Bill Mulder is in the same military unit, and
presumably of similar rank, since their bunks are adjacent to each other.
- The Smoking Man is seen to be reading The Manchurian
Candidate, about brain washing and assassination, and comments he would much rather read
the book than see the movie. (Musings...)
- 1963
- Diana Fowley is born circa this year. (The Official
X-Files Site says she is "in her 30s." 1963 would make her 35 when she first
appears in The End.)
- At some point early in the Litchfield Experiment, Eve
7 escapes. She is raised by a geneticist employed by the experiment and grows up
relatively normal, by the standard of the other Eves. She develops the goal of becoming a
geneticist and helping the other Adam and Eve clones become better adjusted.(Eve.)
- November 22, 1963
- The Smoking Man, under the name of Hunt (probably
borrowed from E. Howard Hunt) gets Lee Harvey Oswald to leave a rifle on the sixth floor
of the Texas Schoolbook Depository, under a pretext. He participates in the assassination
of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, firing from a storm sewer opening. All record of his service
is eliminated, and he moves on to other highly classified assignments. Lee Harvey Oswald
is made a patsy, although he fires no weapon at Kennedy. Knowing of the conspiracy, Oswald
kills a police officer he believes to be a Conspiracy operative. He is subsequently
arrested at the Texas Theater, where he has gone to try to find Cancer Man. Feeling the
stress, Cancer Man begins smoking more, and enjoying it less. (Musings...)
- John Fitzgerald Byers is born. His parents name him
after the assassinated President.(Unusual Suspects)
- 1963
- Tooms commits a third series of five murders.
Detective Frank Briggs holds a desk job and is not permitted to investigate, but gathers

65th parallel, northwest of the British Isles. The seas are calm and the sky sunny. (Dod
Kalm)
- 1964
- A fourth series of murders in the northwest, in which
the victims are ripped to shreds and eaten. The case remains unsolved. (Shapes)
- Alfred Fellig registers with New York City police as
a free-lance photographer, in order to be permitted to visit crime scenes. He reregisters
every year until 1999, and his photographs each year show he has not aged. (Tithonus)
- January 22, 1964
- Samantha T. Mulder is born. Her smallpox vaccination
certificate (seen in Paper Clip) says the family lives at 62 Greer Street, Martha's
Vineyard, Connecticut (even though the island Martha's Vineyard and the community of West
Tisbury is in Mass.)
- February 23, 1964
- Dana Katherine Scully is born to William and Margaret
"Maggie" Scully.(One Breath) Her birth certificate (seen in Paper Clip) says the
family lives at 1170 W. 53 Road, Annapolis, MD. (February 23 established in Lazarus.) Her
two brothers are Bill Junior and Charlie. Their exact ages are unknown, although in
"Roland" Dana says one brother is older and one younger. Dana's older sister,
Melissa, was born in 1962.(Apocrypha) Presumably Bill, Jr., is the eldest son, both
because of his name and because he tends to act like an older brother in various episodes.
- 1965
- Takeo Ishimaru reportedly dies, but continues his
work in secret, attempting to combine alien and human DNA. The conspiracy relocates him to
Perkey, West Virginia, under the name Dr. Shiro Zama. He operates a Hansen's Disease
Research facility. Other people are periodically brought in, kept segregated, and during
"treatment" sustain severe burns. (These burns could result from simple
radiation experimentation or from exposure to alien life, such as found on the Pacific
UFO.) (731 & Nisei)
- A photo of 2 year old Melissa Scully in a forest is
taken that her sister will look at in Christmas Carol.
- Raymond Morrow becomes a police officer in Aubrey,
Missouri, and has a daughter, named B.J. Morrow. (Aubrey)

has a vestigial tail and the ability to morph.(Small Potatoes)(Date is an estimate. See
1979 entry.)
- 1966
- A photo of 3 year old Melissa Scully is taken in the
Nagoya Farmer's Market in Japan that her sister will examine in Christmas Carol. Was Bill
Scully stationed in Japan in the US Navy?
- March 16, 1966
- The Gemini 8 mission suffers serious thruster
malfunctions, causing the craft to tumble and roll after the first-ever American
spacecraft docking in space. The crew battles the malfunction with manual thrusters, and
eventually aborts the flight for an emergency reentry, landing in the Western Pacific. The
crew consists of Neil Armstrong and Dave Scott. (Historical)
- The episode Space indicates that Astronaut Marcus
Aurelius Bolt was on this flight, and that there was also an oxygen loss. The implication
is that some entity intercepted the spacecraft, and somehow took at least partial control
of Belt's mind. In Space he will be seen to morph uncontrollably. There are implication
that in the future he will be forced to participate in sabotage of certain space missions.
- (When originally broadcast, it was probably the
intent that actual aliens had intercepted Belt in order to keep humans from learning about
their existence in the space nearby Earth. In light of later seasons, the Conspiracy may
well have had reason to limit NASA, and may have used hypnosis, alien gene therapy
treatments and spacecraft based on alien technology to intercept Gemini 8.)
- November 14, 1966
- What is known as the "Mothman flap" begins,
in a field near Salem, West Virginia. A creature with glowing red eyes, described as two
inches wide and six inches apart is seen several times over the course of the following
year. The creature is described as shaped like a man, but larger, and also sometimes
described as having wings, like a bat or moth. It is sometimes reported to be able to fly
without flapping its wings. Some descriptions say it has no head, and the eyes are set in
its shoulders. Television interference is sometimes reported in association with the
Mothman. All reports of the Mothman are generally around the Point Pleasant, West Virginia
area. During the same period of time, over 1,000 UFO sightings are reported in the Ohio
River Valley area, part of a major world-wide "flap" of UFOs, culminating with
the collapse of a Point Pleasant-area bridge on December 15, 1967, that kills 37 people,
and coincides with an intense series of UFO sightings in one evening. Things then return
to normal. The best scientific explanation for the Mothman is a series of sightings of the
rare Sandhill Crane, a very large bird with red eyes. (News accounts)
- Mulder believes the nearly invisible creatures he and
Scully encountered in western Florida in late 1997 might be related to the
Mothman.(Detour)
- 1967

"Ringo," was not given on air but is based on an earlier version of the script
for Unusual Suspects.)
- Marita Covarrubias is born circa this year.

Okoboji, in northwest Iowa. One is sighted by a National Weather Service pilot. Four girl
scouts, including Darlene Morris, and the adult girl scout leader make another sighting,
and one girl photographs what appears to be a flying disk with a brownie camera. (Conduit)
- October 13, 1967

abnormal strength and IQs up to 265 as the result of having 56 chromosomes. (Eve)
- March 1968
- Cancer Man writes a story, based on his own
experiences, Entitled "Take a Chance: A Jack Colquitt Adventure" he uses the pen
name Raul Bloodworth.
- A group including General Frantz and J. Edgar Hoover
consults Cancer Man about how to discredit Martin Luther King. Cancer Man, who respects
King, also considers him to be a threat, because he has begun using Marxism as an
illustration of the negative aspects of democracy. Cancer Man becomes concerned that if
King were to convince black men to not serve in the military, the Vietnam War would be
lost. He tells Hoover that the only alternative is to assassinate King. (Musings...)
- April 4, 1968
- Cancer Man assassinates Martin Luther King at the
Lorraine Motel, room 306, in Memphis, shooting from the bushes at the top of an embankment
directly across from the motel, as opposed to the rooming house bathroom, as believed by
some authorities. Cancer Man still carries the photo of one year old Fox Mulder, and his
mother, obtained from Bill Mulder in 1962. (Musings...)
- Raul, possibly taken from Raul Bloodworth, is the
name given by James Earl Ray, arrested for killing Dr. King, who was actually on an errand
for Cancer Man during the assassination. Ray discovers that he is a suspect and escapes
Memphis. He is eventually arrested in London. Ray confesses, hoping for a light sentence.
He is sentenced to 99 years, and recants his confession three days later. (Historical)
- August 9, 1968
- Gillian Anderson's birthday.
- November 1, 1968
- Albert Goodwinkle, of Montgomery and Glick
Publishing, rejects Cancer Man's story "Take a Chance: A Jack Colquitt
Adventure," calling it "crap." Cancer Man receives the letter at 555
Brooksbank Avenue, Apartment 24, Washington DC 20091. (Musings...)
- Cancer Man is familiar enough with the poetry of
Aeschylus to quote it from memory.(Musings...)
- Circa 1969
- Fox Mulder encounters a preying mantis while tree
climbing, and decides he hates insects. (War of the C.'s)
- A UFO is seen over Hanoi. The Marines attempt
unsuccessfully to shoot it down. Deep Throat is with "The Company" at this time.
(Musings...) Apparently referring to the same incident, Deep Throat later tells Mulder
that he became one of the three men to have exterminated an alien, with the CIA in
Vietnam. He tells Mulder that the death of that innocent alien haunts him and that is why
he wants the truth to be known. (E.B.E)
- Deep Throat may have been blurring the facts, and may
have actually been describing the killing of an alien in 1991. (Musings...)
- Jack Conroy is born. He eventually becomes a US
Customs officer, based on San Pedro, California. (Alpha)
