Dark Skies is criminally under appreciated, my friends and I were so pissed when it was cancelled back in the 90s
@AJ I've been watching the why files for many years now I think from the start actually before you got very huge but I wanted to thank you for always cheering me up ,I live alone and sometimes feel very depressed I got no one in my life no family nothing but you and your channel keep me going always love the episodes, I always sleep with the episodes playing at night too haha , thank you why files, don't stop!
Thank you Why Files crew . You all rock ❤
I'm an old man that missed Dark Skies in 96. Pausing here to watch it. Plus my 18 year old dog just died and I'm sort of lost.

Losing a pet is traumatizing.
Dark Skies & X Files were my 90’s go to’s!😊
His new podcast sound light and frequency is freaking outstanding,
I hadn't seen Dark Skies before this Basement episode. Now I'm already on episode 3!
I love watching AJ in interviews because you get to see just how smart he is. And I love that folks feel comfortable to share and go deep.
