In case you missed it, the new season of The X Files has begun in the US, with Mulder and Scully together again to investigate the paranormal.

If you would like to do a little detective work yourself, you’re in luck, as the CIA has released ten previously classified documents which both attempt to prove and disprove that UFOs are real.

The first five are for those of you like Mulder who would love to prove that Aliens really have visited our planet, while the other five are for sceptics like Scully who would like to debunk such rumours.

Access the documents through the CIA website, here.

All ten were once classified documents from the 50s, but were made declassified in 1978, along with thousands of others.

The CIA also Tweeted out (yes, they have a Twitter account) their ten tips on how to tell if a flying saucer has been spotted.

Meanwhile, for us Brits who would like to see the detective duo back in action, the new season of The X Files is back on 8 February on Channel 5.
