How active, if at all, is Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz in the UFO world? Do they participate in any MUFON meetings? Do they do any field investigating into UFO sightings? What are their “real life” stances on UFOs, abductions and other extraterrestrial events? Have they ever stated this?
To my knowledge they’ve never said anything like this. And given their lack of research into basic biology (can **all ** ova be removed at once? how long do pregnancies last, a full year, right?) I doubt they are the type of writers who collect first hand data.
Of course not - they are not of the body.
The writers of The X-Files, unlike a small subset of their fans, are fully aware that they are writing fiction.
Remember also that only a relatively small number of X-Files episodes, plus the first movie, deal with aliens and UFOs at all.
