'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 establishment s greater part secretive strange and mind-blowing engagements that have been declassified throughout history The -year-old advised 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 unfailingly 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 specific covert action from time to time he reported Not everything can be transparent What I find gripping about these particular stories and about a multitude of stories having to do with the administration is that when you see what has been done you realize that these are just flawed people trying to do in chosen 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 chosen 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 curriculum 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 enthralling So whatever we re telling you about Area is coming out of administration files that s way better than coming out of me But unlike Mulder Duchovny is also a bit of a skeptic In late multiple mysterious drones were stated flying over New Jersey and across the eastern U S Despite the plenty of theories that fast 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 Precaution Department and state agencies investigated the sightings but authorities disclosed there has been nothing so far to suggest any of the drones posed a national measure or general safety threat Bureaucrats reported plenty 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 published following an order by President Donald Trump Various 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 cabinet conspiracy called for a new congressional assessment Duchovny is not convinced What s thought-provoking 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 various bad actors there are certain people that commit crimes he mentioned There are several people that work for the ruling body 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 compelling But I just don t have that I find the life in front of me just as captivating 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 reported There s no grand conspiracy going on and there never has been These are just singular small groups of human beings trying certain 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 noted 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 currently and not believing in of them he mentioned And then I thought this is gripping 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 disclosed Hopefully maybe years after my death
