BACKGROUND

One of the better X-Files clones thta emerged in mid-Ninties. 
The premise was interesting.The incident that was supposed to have happened
in New Mexico in 1947 did actually happen and aliens have been manipulating mankind ever since. 

With stories keyed into real life historical events, the series was to have run into the 1970's,
80's & 90's with Loengard pursuing the truth into the Millenium. It was cancelled after 19
episodes but was nearly brought back for a mid-season replacement which sadly did not
materialise. An intelligent show that should have had time to develop and expand.
