Un poco al revés de aquellas filosofías que propugnan la búsqueda interior –el “conócete a ti mismo” de la Grecia antigua- como forma de acceder a la Verdad o el Conocimiento Trascendente, la búsqueda de una Verdad afuera de nosotros mismos es un poco el gran paradigma de la Civilización moderna occidental. Pero lo que se propone en X-Files es más que eso: en realidad se refiere a la búsqueda de una Verdad más allá de nuestra atmósfera.
En efecto, el leitmotiv de la serie más exitosa de los últimos tiempos, objeto de culto y reverencia por millones de fans (supe serlo y, en cierto modo aún lo soy por cierto), es la presencia alienígena en nuestro mundo y el mecanismo perverso de encubrimiento y engaño montado por élites poderosas para evitar que la Terrible Verdad llegue a las masas.
X-Files es una de las mejores intérpretes de la conspiranoia y de la alienofilia, fenómenos que forman parte del ADN occidental desde los tiempos de la Guerra Fría al menos. La idea de que el gobierno (o los gobiernos) saben más de lo que admiten comenzó a instalarse popularmente en la década del 70, coincidiendo con el abrupto final del Project Blue Book de la US Air Force (investigación sobre casos de avistamientos de OVNI en vigencia desde 1952 hasta 1969). La USAF encargó en 1966 un estudio científico de los casos. El resultado fue el famoso Informe Condon (CONDON REPORT: SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS, BANTAN BOOKS, 1969), a cargo del prestigioso físico Edward Condon de la Universidad de Colorado. El Informe fue puesto en tela de juicio por algunos miembros de la comunidad científica como una flagrante violación a los principios de la ciencia. Lo cierto es que el manido Informe Condon concluía que no había evidencia admisible para probar la presencia alienígena en la Tierra (ni la presente ni la pasada) y que el asunto de los OVNI debía ser tratado desde una perspectiva psicológica. Es decir, en cierto modo, que para la ciencia oficial, la respuesta estaba dentro (o sea, desde la perspectiva del sujeto y no del presunto objeto). Sin embargo expertos que habían sido consultados por la USAF, como el célebre astrónomo J. Allen Hynek, clamaron por la forma tan evidentemente absurda en la que se descartaron las piezas de evidencia respecto a que el “objeto” en cuestión existía fuera del individuo que lo observaba (o creía observarlo). Así comenzó la historia de la Ufología, una presunta rama de la ciencia empírico-racionalista-positivista que pretendía llegar a la verdad sobre los Objetos Voladores No Identificados. Lo cierto es que mucho les costó a los ufólogos mantenerse incontaminados de la parafernalia pseudo-religiosa o pseudo-mística, además de la fiebre mitomaníaca que rodeó inmediatamente al fenómeno. El esfuerzo sobrehumano por entender de forma exclusivamente científica a los OVNI, las misteriosas luces en el cielo, sucumbió rápidamente en medio de una psicodelia a mitad de camino entre la ciencia-ficción y el chamanismo-espiritismo New Age. Como sea al caer la URSS y llegar a su final la Guerra Fría el asunto de la conspiración para ocultar la verdad extraterrestre llegó a su paroxismo con el anuncio de 1995 de la aparición de videos perdidos que confirmaban la realización de autopsias a alienígenos recuperados por la USAF de una nave extraterrestre estrellada en Roswell en 1947. El lanzamiento al mercado televisivo de dichas filmaciones lo hizo la cadena Fox Broadcasting Company (la misma que emitía X-Files desde 1993) el 28 de agosto de 1995 con el título “Alien Autopsy: Fact or Fiction”. Pero el gran golpe llegó cuando comenzó a hacerse evidente que los films eran en realidad un sofisticado montaje.
X-Files comenzó a emitirse el 10 de setiembre de 1993. Y el impacto que produjo en la audiencia fue contundente. Mostraba con desnudez y realismo los mejores o peores terrores nocturnos de millones de personas en el mundo. En efecto, el complejo fenómeno de los visitantes de dormitorio y las abducciones también estaba en boga por ese entonces. Y con X-Files se incrementaron por cierto.
X-Files puede definirse como un eterno bucle racionalista-empirista. El dilema occidental científico entre descubrir la verdad por mi propio razonamiento lógico o hacerlo a través de la experimentación objetiva. Entre fiarse plenamente de mi capacidad de discernimiento y mis sentidos o desconfiar totalmente de ellos. Entre la duda y la certeza íntima. El agente Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) es más bien un racionalista. La agente Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) por su parte es casi exclusivamente empirista. Lo que no quedan dudas es que ambos confían en el modo científico de llegar al conocimiento, solamente que Mulder es más heterodoxo que Scully. Mulder es más del estilo “si brilla es un OVNI”. Scully por el contrario diría “no todo lo que brilla es OVNI”.
Mulder quiere creer, con desesperación, pero a la vez se cuida de no ser engañado por esa necesidad obsesivo-compulsiva de buscar la verdad. Scully no busca creer para nada, porque en los hechos no cree casi en nada. Ambos forman un equipo absolutamente complementario y con mucha química por cierto (lo que constituye uno de los secretos del éxito de la serie). Conforman una de las mejores parejas del mundo televisivo. Scully es el ancla que frena a Mulder y lo hace aterrizar cuando se evade demasiado del mundo real. Mulder es la dosis de duda, de pasión y de fe o intuición que necesita Scully para no caer en un pozo negro de absoluto escepticismo.
El “Universo X-Files” consiste en 9 temporadas de la serie central emitidos entre el 10 de setiembre de 1993 y el 19 de mayo de 2002. Además incluye dos series relacionadas o spin-off: Milennium (tres temporadas emitidas desde el 25 de octubre de 1996 hasta el 21 de mayo de 1999) y The Lone Gunmen (una temporada emitida entre el 4 de marzo y el 1 de junio de 2001), ambas de corta duración. La serie The Lone Gunman causó un impacto extraordinario debido a su episodio piloto en el que se planteaba un complot de los servicios secretos de EEUU para estrellar un Boeing 747 contra las Torres Gemelas…seis meses antes de que el hecho realmente ocurriera!. Por su parte el episodio final de la 9º Temporada de X-Files (The Truth), emitido el 19 de mayo de 2002, contribuyó a la mini-paranoia milenarista del 2012. En ese episodio se anunciaba la invasión extraterrestre definitiva para el 22 de setiembre de 2012…coincidiendo con las supuestas predicciones mayas.
También forman parte de este universo dos películas: The X Files: Fight the Future (1998) y The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2007).
En marzo de 2015 la FOX anunció el próximo regreso de la serie en su décima temporada. El primer episodio se estrenará el 24 de enero de 2016. Esperemos que la serie que hizo escuela en el mundo televisivo-cinematográfico vuelva a sacar lustre a la pantalla.

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
A little backwards of those philosophies which advocate the search within-the "know thyself" of the Greece Antigua-like way to access the Transcendent Truth or knowledge, the search for a truth outside ourselves is a little great paradigm of modern Western Civilization. But what is proposed in X-Files is more than that actually refers to the search for a truth beyond our atmosphere.Indeed, the leitmotif of the most successful series of recent times, cult and reverence by millions of fans (be learned and, in some ways still am by the way), is the alien presence in our world and the mechanism perverse of concealment and deception mounted by powerful elites to prevent the terrible truth to the masses.X-Files is one of the best interpreters of the conspiranoia and alienofilia, phenomena that are part of the western DNA from the times of the Cold War at least. The idea that the government (or governments) know more than they admit popularly began to settle in the 70s, coinciding with the abrupt end of Project Blue Book of the US Air Force (research on cases of UFO sightings effective from 1952 to 1969). The USAF ordered a scientific study in 1966 cases. The result was the famous Condon Report (CONDON REPORT: SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS, Bantan Books, 1969), by the renowned physicist Edward Condon, University of Colorado. The report was questioned by some members of the scientific community as a flagrant violation of the principles of science. The truth is that the tired Condon Report concluded that there was no admissible evidence to prove the alien presence on Earth (or the present or the past) and that the matter of UFOs should be treated from a psychological perspective. That is, in a way, that official science, the answer was inside (that is, from the perspective of the subject and not the alleged object). However experts who had been consulted by the USAF, like the famous astronomer J. Allen Hynek, clamored for so obviously absurd way in which the discarded pieces of evidence regarding the "object" in question was outside the individual I watched (or believed watch). Thus began the history of ufology, an alleged branch of the positivist-rationalist-empirical science that aimed to reach the truth about unidentified flying objects. The truth is that much cost the ufologists remain uncontaminated by the pseudo-religious or pseudo-mystical paraphernalia in addition to fever mitomaníaca immediately surrounding the phenomenon. The superhuman effort to understand purely scientific way to UFOs, mysterious lights in the sky, quickly succumbed amid a psychedelic halfway between science fiction and New Age spiritualism-shamanism. Anyway after falling the USSR and reach its final Cold War the issue of conspiracy to conceal extraterrestrial truth he reached its climax with the announcement of 1995 the appearance of lost video confirming conducting autopsies on alien recovered by the USAF of a crashed alien spaceship in Roswell in 1947. The television market launch of these films did Fox Broadcasting Company (same emitting X-Files since 1993) on August 28, 1995 entitled "Alien Autopsy: Fact or Fiction ". But the big blow came when it started to become apparent that the films were actually a sophisticated assembly.X-Files first aired on September 10, 1993. And the impact it had on the audience was overwhelming. He showed nudity and realism with the best or worst night terrors of millions of people worldwide. Indeed, the complex phenomenon of visitors bedroom and abductions was also in vogue at the time. And with X-Files they were increased by the way.X-Files can be defined as a rationalist-empiricist eternal loop. Western scientific dilemma discover the truth for my own logical reasoning or do so through objective experimentation. Among fully trust my discernment and my senses or completely distrust them. Between doubt and inner certainty. The agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) is more of a rationalist. Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) meanwhile is almost exclusively empiricist. What is left in no doubt is that both rely on scientific way to get to know only that Mulder is more heterodox than Scully. Mulder style is more "if it shines is a UFO." Scully instead say "all that glitters is not UFO".Mulder wants to believe, desperately, yet is careful not to be fooled by that obsessive-compulsive need to seek the truth. Scully believe not looking for anything, because the facts do not believe almost anything. Both are absolutely complementary and with great chemistry by certain equipment (which is one of the secrets of success of the series). They are one of the best pairs of the television world. Scully is the anchor that slows Mulder and makes landing when too evades the real world. Mulder is the dose of doubt, passion and faith or intuition that Scully needs to avoid falling into a black hole of absolute skepticism.The "Universe X-Files" consists of 9 seasons of the central series issued between 10 September 1993 and 19 May 2002. It also includes two related series or spin-off: Milennium (issued three seasons since 25 October 1996 through May 21, 1999) and The Lone Gunmen (a season issued between March 4 and June 1, 2001), both of short duration. The series The Lone Gunman had an extraordinary impact due to its pilot episode in which a plot by the US secret services was raised to a Boeing 747 crashing into the Twin Towers ... six months before the event really happened !. Meanwhile the final episode of the 9th season of X-Files (The Truth), issued on May 19, 2002, contributed to the mini-millennial paranoia 2012. In that episode the final alien invasion announced for 22 September 2012 ... coinciding with the alleged Mayan predictions.Also part of this universe two films: The X Files: Fight the Future (1998) and The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2007).In March 2015, FOX announced the upcoming return of the series in its tenth season. The first episode will premiere on January 24, 2016. We hope that the series-made film school in the television world to polish again the screen.
