On July 2, 1947, a spacecraft of unknown origin crashed in the New Mexico desert outside Roswell Army Air Base. Four bodies - known as the Grays - were recovered. Everything you think to true about American history, from that moment on, has been influenced by that event.On February 17, 1962, another event occurred, related to the first, but one that has, until now, been kept completely suppressed.You are being trusted with that secret. |

Along with Wild Palms, Nowhere Man and American Gothic, Dark Skies is definitely one of the most overlooked TV series of the nineties.
In many ways the success of the X-Files overshadowed Dark Skies which was a real shame as this was an incredibly original series.
It takes me back to a time pre-internet/pre-truthers when conspiracy theory, UFOlogy, occulture and deep politics were still very much part of the subcultural mileu and in many ways Dark Skies lifted the lid on the world of fanzines and obscure books with the occasional documentary thrown into the mix.
Perhaps there was less signal back then, but equally there was far less noise to deal with.
Thanks for the uploads
Didn’t know about this show until I saw your post in the sidebar and investigated. Glad I did, looks interesting, going to watch this, thanks for requesting the links,and thanks to the linkers for getting them as well!
I think I watched this series too but man, 1996 was eons ago! I like Eric Close and he seems to have disappeared for awhile and popped up again in a a movie from 2018, Legal Action. I may have to watch this series again.
