2012

2012 is a year in the 21th century.

Events

This year is supposedly the dawning of a new kingdom, according to the followers of the Church of the Red Museum. They are supposed to have the world ready for this "new age". (TXF: "Red Museum")
December 22:
- This is the final date on the Mayan calendar.
- This is the planned date for the alien colonization. Assuming the aliens colonized, a shadow government planned to operate out of the Mount Weather Complex in Bluemont, Virginia, either with or against the Greys. (TXF: "The Truth")

According to Frank Spotnitz on his own website, Chris Carter was already imagining, when Frank Spotnitz joined The X-Files' production staff in the series' second season, that the alien invasion would take place in 2012. [1] It is possible that this date was based on the 2012 phenomenon.
