The Sci Fi Channel moves its daily dose of Sightings to a morning slot, while a weekend storm of alien-oriented films and TV programs dwindles into a trickle of puzzling evidence by mid-week. On the radio, Hilly Rose keeps chasing those mysterious triangular craft.

(all times Eastern)

12:00 AM The X-Files (FX) - Tunguska
Conspiracy/alien drama. The weasel-like Krycek returns, this time leading Scully and Mulder into a Russian trap involving the "black worm" form of the sinister oily aliens. Meanwhile, Marita, a/k/a Uniblonde, offers little help. (first part of two)

Conspiracy/alien drama. In their big screen debut, Scully and Mulder travel to the ends of the earth, from the deserts of Texas to the icy plains of Antarctica, out to stop the alien menace and menaced by FEMA and bees every step of the way.

12:30 AM Repo Man (Bravo)

Conspiracy/alien comedy. Edgy film blends UFO paranoia, the web of synchronicity, mid-1980s Los Angeles and other strangeness, with Emilio Estevez, Harry Dean Stanton and a cameo appearance from punk band Circle Jerks.

1:00 PM Dark Skies (SciFi) - Hostile Convergence

5:40 PM Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Encore)

Alien drama. Musical aliens get up close and personal with Francois Truffaut (as a thinly-disguised Jacques Vallee), Richard Dreyfuss, Teri Garr, J. Allan Hynek and other Earth people, while "tinkerbell" brings up the rear. A classic example of Steven Spielberg's sensibilities circa 1977.
