In this mid-season "bottle episode" (contained in production to save money), Zabel and Friedman made the episode about Loengard testifying before the Warren Commission about the JFK assassination.

We shot it once for the original pilot, then again just a few months before air. You can watch them one after the other. Why it happened is another story that will be revealed in Sound, Light & Frequency.

In the pilot episode, John Loengard joins Majestic-12 and his first field assignment is to investigate a mysterious crop circle. This means meeting Elliot Grantham who will go down in Dark Skies history as Patient Zero in the quest to track the Hive infection vector.

After having covertly given President Kennedy a piece of the Roswell crash, John Loengard is summoned to Hickory Hill, RFK's home, and gets told he must stay in Majestic-12.

After appearing on Coast-to-Coast with Art Bell, Bryce Zabel cast the radio phenomenon as William S. Paley, the chief of CBS but, more importantly, a member of Majestic-12.

By 1967, John Loengard and his partner Juliet, have infiltrated the counter-culture movement of Timothy Leary. Loengard takes a trip inside the mind of the Hive thanks to one kind of brown acid.

In the final episode of the series, Majestic-12 Captain Frank Bach loses his job and so much more...
