The first season of The X-Files commenced airing on the FOX network in the United States on September 10, 1993 and concluded on the same channel on May 13, 1994.
Season 1 introduced the two main characters, FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. The mythology arc was also established, which would serve as the central focal point of the entire series.
FBI Special Agent Dana Scully is assigned to work with Fox Mulder on a group of unexplained cases labeled as X-Files. Mulder believes that the paranormal can explain most of the cases, whereas Scully is more interested in finding a scientific, logical explanation.
Her first case with Mulder involved a series of unexplainable deaths of young people in a small Oregon town. Mulder fears that Scully may be a spy for the higher ups at the FBI but still boldly theorizes that it is the work of extraterrestrials. Discovering a non-Human corpse in the coffin of one of the victims they exhume doesn't dissuade Scully's skepticism but as the strange occurrences such as time loss, flashes of light, and strange implants in the corpse mount up even she is willing to believe Mulder's theory a bit. When she comes to Mulder fearing she has the same marks as the victims on her own back, he tells her they are merely mosquito bites. Seeing her vulnerable and embarrassed, he asks her to stay and they get to talking. He confides about the disappearance of his sister Samantha Mulder, his FBI career and study of the supernatural & the X-Files, and of a conspiracy to suppress his work on the X-Files. Scully may not believe everything he is saying but a bond has formed between them.
They realize that one of the young people from the same graduating class, Billy Miles, has been delivering people to the woods and Mulder is present for Theresa Hoese disappearing in a bright light. While most of the evidence is stolen or burned in a fire at the motel, Scully brings back the implant made of an unidentifiable material that supports what she and Mulder experienced.
When Mulder intends to investigate pilots disappearing from Ellens Air Base in Idaho, an enigmatic man warns him not to look into it because the military won't tolerate an FBI investigation. Mulder ignores him so he and Scully go to Idaho and learn that the Air Force may be using planes with alien technology in them. Vehicles so advanced that the Human body can't take it and the missing pilots were wash-outs who had to have their memories altered. Mulder gets too close to all of this and his memory is altered.
Back in DC, the mystery man again meets Mulder and explains his purpose is to provide information in service of the truth. He tells Mulder that the aliens have been here for a long time. Mulder refers to him as Deep Throat and it starts a useful partnership where Deep Throat gives whatever information he chooses to give despite clearly knowing far more than he ever tells Mulder and Scully. While he sometimes tips Mulder off during an investigation, he would lie on other occasions. Such as his deliberate misleading of Mulder during their hunt for a UFO downed by an Iraqi fighter jet.
While Mulder and Scully's pursuit of information on aliens often is prevented by government or military intervention, their other investigations usually prove more fruitful. Such as their apprehension of Eugene Victor Tooms, a strange mutant and serial killer who would be killed by Mulder after his later release.
