Moon

In 1993, FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder, trying to trick a bartender, into believing that he did not believe in flying saucers, remarked that he thought it was "all just a bunch of crazy people howling at the moon." (TXF: "Conduit")

Background Information

A shot of the moon slowly rising behind the silhouettes of trees is the first shot that appears in The X-Files: I Want to Believe, apart from the logo for 20th Century Fox, and is positioned to the right of the film's logo, remaining there while the logo fades onto the screen before disappearing.
