Vice Investigates Extraterrestrial Life With Real Life X-Files Characters in Roswell, New Mexico

In a recent episode of The Real series, Vice reporter Casey Feldman travelled to Roswell, New Mexico to speak with several well-known “UFOlogists” including Stanton Friedman, the original investigator of the Roswell Incident and a real-life Fox Mulder along with paranormal investigator Joe Nickel whose skeptical style is more akin to Dana Scully.

VICE meets up with Joe Nickell, a longtime paranormal investigator who’s been called the real-life Scully. We travel with him to Roswell, NM on the anniversary of the 1947 UFO Crash to talk to believers, skeptics and UFO witnesses alike to see if the truth is really out there.
