Episode Guide

Dark Skies is an American UFO conspiracy theory-based sci-fi television series that aired from the 1996 to 1997 season for 18 episodes, plus a two-hour pilot episode. The success of The X-Files on Fox proved there was an audience for science fiction shows, resulting in NBC commissioning this proposed competitor following a pitch from producers Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman. The series debuted September 21, 1996 on NBC, and was later rerun by the Sci-Fi Channel. Its tagline was "History as we know it is a lie."

Alien obduction...invasion...conspiracy....government cover-up....no, it´s not x-files Although there are some similarities Dark Skies takes a fictional plot and puts it inside actual historical events. It works in a this-is-how-it-could-have-been way. There are a bunch of historical figures involved in the story. The plot was supposed to cover four decades, from the 60s to the new millenium, unfortunately it fell short and I think got cancelled in the end. Which was really a shame as this was one of the most promising plots I had seen. So this will go into the history books of TV as another "what if...." show. Come to think of it, I guess Spielberg took the general plot idea for "Taken"
