I think it was a case of jumping off a slippery slope. If one conspiracy can be proven or declassified, why not others? Where will it end? If the Tuskegee experiments were real, why not MK-Ultra or using crashed alien tech to make stealth planes?
But it turned out, those hunting for "the Truth(tm)" may have lost the plot entirely, and even if they find it, would anyone really care about alien bodies in drawers in Nevada anymore? Area 51 became a meme about anime sprinting....
This coda to "The X-Files" (remember them?) buried in the middle of the second relaunch season, seems particularly relevant in much the same way that the main series seems overtaken by the zeitgeist....
