Dark Skies

A young American couple in the 1960s embarks on a perilous quest to uncover the truth about an extraterrestrial invasion, all while a clandestine government agency pursues its own agenda in response to the threat.

20th century history is reevaluated in this series, revealing a shocking truth: aliens have been living among humans since the 1940s, but a government cover-up has kept this fact hidden. The story follows John Loengard and Kim Sayers as they work to disrupt the alien Hive's plans, which often involve manipulating historical events and figures. Meanwhile, they must also evade a secret government agency, Majestic-12, tasked with combating the aliens while maintaining the conspiracy of silence.
