The X-COM Files

Imagine everything you know about the Alien War is wrong.

What if there really are no aliens as the world goverments had been telling us until the start of the Alien War? What if there was a war but X-COM was merely a work of fiction designed to cover what really happened? What if the 'aliens' were really the ones who tried to protect Earth from the forces that wanted to take control of it? And finally what if those forces won and they are keeping you from knowing the real truth about the Alien War and X-COM?

Troubling isn't it?

Oh sure, they will tell you that a conspiracy of that size couldn't be kept in the dark and that someone will undoubtly spill the beans about what really happened. That there would be public outcry and indignation and the culprits would be found and burned at the stake for lying to the entire world. Or even that it would be impossible for any nation or group to create such a convincing story and making everyone believe it.

As stated above, everything you know is wrong.

Remember that the official story states that Earth simply ignored the aliens existence before 1998 despite the fact that there were numerous public and private commissions that studied the issue? Well, isn't it strange that no one before 1998 bothered to take these reports seriously? Or isn't it strange than X-COM took less than a month to establish itself (despite the bureaucracy and the necessary coordination of 16 nations who can't agree in pretty much everything else) after the decision was taken by the Council of Funding Nations? Or that Laser Weapons suddenly became available for battlefield use in a matter of months when they were supposed to be decades away from being pratical applications.

If that doesn't make you think, well buddy I got this propriety on Mars that you might be interested on buying...

But for those like me who want answers here are the X-COM Files
