TRIVIA

FBI Agent Mulder (with Scully) comes to town to solve a mystery involving the disappearance of a young girl and spends one scene in a diner eating more than his fair share of pie. This is a tongue-in-cheek nod to the character FBI Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) from David Duchovny's previous "spooky" series, "Twin Peaks" (1990). Cooper went to the quiet mountain town to solve the death of Laura Palmer and had a taste for pie. Duchovny guest-starred on that as a cross-dressing DEA agent.
At the end of the episode, when we hear Jose Chung narrating part of his book "From Outer Space," he refers to agent Mulder as "Renard Muldrake." "Renard" is French for "fox."
The name of the 'alien', Lord Kinbote, is a reference to Charles Kinbote, the unreliable and probably insane narrator of Vladimir Nabokov's ‘Pale Fire’.
The character of Sergeant Hynek is named after Dr. J. Allen Hynek, prominent UFO investigator and author.
