'X-Files' star David Duchovny debunks government conspiracy theories in search for the truth

David Duchovny who played FBI Agent Mulder to Gillian Anderson s Scully for nearly a decade wants to believe The actor who starred in The X-Files from to is now hosting and producing a new History Channel series Secrets Declassified with David Duchovny The -part show promises to explore the executive s the majority secretive strange and mind-blowing exercises that have been declassified throughout history The -year-old described Fox News Digital that the truth is out there DAVID DUCHOVNY ADMITS TO TROUBLE REATTACHING TO DAUGHTER AFTER NEARLY LOSING HER TO 'HORRIFYING' RSV BOUT What I find true is that there are certain things that the regime has inevitably done in secret and that s just the way of doing business because not everybody has our interests at heart the way we have our interests at heart he explained There has to be particular covert action from time to time he announced Not everything can be transparent What I find captivating about these particular stories and about a multitude of stories having to do with the cabinet is that when you see what has been done you realize that these are just flawed people trying to do in several cases the best they can And sometimes what they re doing is absolutely ridiculous and you ask yourself How the hell did you think that was going to work That can be funny but on the other side of the spectrum specific of these actions really hurt people so that s not so funny he added The first episode which premieres Friday focuses on Secrets and the Skies It details how a plane crash in North Carolina almost triggered nuclear Armageddon And of syllabus there s talk of Area a remote formerly top-secret U S military base that has long been the subject of UFO and space alien lore Duchovny hopes the episode will debunk misconceptions and shine a spotlight on the experts who weighed in These files that we re dealing with on the show are declassified and for the reasons of protecting living persons a lot of files will be classified for the length of their lifetime length of a normal person s lifetime he explained LIKE WHAT YOU RE READING CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS So these are true stories that we are revealing for the first time as they ve been declassified And that s intriguing So whatever we re telling you about Area is coming out of regime files that s way better than coming out of me But unlike Mulder Duchovny is also a bit of a skeptic In late a great number of mysterious drones were announced flying over New Jersey and across the eastern U S Despite the countless theories that promptly floated around the star says he knows exactly what they were I think they were drones he chuckled Usually I go by Occam s razor which is the simplest explanation is the true one and that would be it for me Duchovny may be onto something The FBI the Homeland Safeguard Department and state agencies investigated the sightings but functionaries noted there has been nothing so far to suggest any of the drones posed a national assurance or masses safety threat Executives explained a multitude of of the sightings were legal drones manned aircraft helicopters and even stars WATCH OLIVER STONE EXPLAINS WHY JFK S DEATH SHOULD BE REINVESTIGATEDThere are also the JFK Files In March more than pages of records related to the assassination of President John F Kennedy were disclosed following an order by President Donald Trump Numerous of the documents were without the redactions that had confounded historians for years and helped fuel conspiracy theories On Tuesday Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone whose film JFK portrayed Kennedy s assassination as the work of a shadowy administration conspiracy called for a new congressional review Duchovny is not convinced What s engaging about the declassification of the JFK files is that there s no new information about a conspiracy because there was no conspiracy There is no conspiracy he stressed That s usually my point of view is that there are particular bad actors there are specific people that commit crimes he mentioned There are specific people that work for the authorities that commit crimes in whatever name they say they re doing But there s no grand conspiracy and there s no new information on these big-ticket conspiracy ideas I could be wrong but that s my feeling I don t have any other subjects that I would like to see uncovered he reflected But I m sure they exist And I m sure as they come to my attention they ll be intriguing But I just don t have that I find the life in front of me just as enthralling as any of these stories And then there are aliens He argued that given the size of the universe then surely we aren t alone But Duchovny admitted he just doesn t think about the extraterrestrial stuff What you realize when you go through a series like this is yeah there may be conspiracies but they re usually conspiracies between three or four people five people people he mentioned There s no grand conspiracy going on and there never has been These are just singular small groups of human beings trying various weird s--- sometimes to achieve their goals But there s no grand conspiracy And if there were no one would keep that a secret for long he declared For him life alone is an encounter with the unexplained He noted that Secrets Declassified lured him in because it was based on what he was more interested in the truth I was looking around at all of these conspiracy theories floating around in this world in the current era and not believing in of them he commented And then I thought this is absorbing because these are the kinds of stories that people have a lot of theories about and yet here s the truth I m sure it won t stop people from thinking about conspiracies because they re going to think that it is just another part of the conspiracy to come out with the truth But truth is stranger than fiction Does Duchovny have any secrets of his own ones that would leave Mulder loosening his tie in anticipation DAVID DUCHOVNY FAILED 'FULL HOUSE' AUDITION BEFORE LANDING 'X-FILES' ROLE 'I WAS REALLY BAD'He s not giving that up All those secrets are classified until after my death he revealed Hopefully maybe years after my death
