Need to Know's video: Dark Skies - Emmy Winning Main Titles - History is a Lie

@Dark Skies - Emmy Winning Main Titles - "History is a Lie"
These main titles for the NBC/Columbia TV series Dark Skies won the Emmy award for Outstanding Main Title Design. The narration is chillingly relevant to our situation today. The series main character John Loengard (played by Eric Close) states in the voice-over: "My name is John Loengard. I'm recording this because we may not make it through the night. They're here, they're hostile, and powerful people don't want you to know: history as we know it is a lie." "Dark Skies" was created by Bryce Zabel and Brent V. Friedman who wrote and produced the series for NBC as a primetime network TV series about an alien invasion. It was the first dramatic treatment ever of a possible connection between the JFK assassination and the UFO cover-up, told through the eyes of Majestic-12 agent John Loengard, his abductee girlfriend Kim Sayers, and their hybrid son created by the alien Hive. Airing in the 1996-1997 season, Columbia TV produced twenty hours of film of this "Dark Skies" series. In 2011, Shout Factory! released a critically praised DVD set of "Dark Skies." Get the Dark Skies Series @ Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Skies-Declassified-Complete-Series/dp/B00465I156 In the years since it went off-the-air, "Dark Skies" has established itself in the minds of a significant number of science fiction fans as a gripping piece of conspiracy drama set in the world of UFOs and abductions. It anchored NBC's Saturday night "Thrillogy" concept in the 1996 season premiere and starred Eric Close ("Nashville") and the classic character actor J.T. Walsh. In addition to the Emmy award it won for its Main Titles, its pilot screenplay received a Writers Guild of America nomination. The Syfy Channel aired it multiple times.

They called their movie "Dark Skies," but true fans know better. Please share.
