I guess you know this poster is also on display in TV's X-files office of
Muldaur? You can see it on occasional repeats.

Good catch!
Of course, the next question is, which came first? When did X-Files start--
1993? It was certainly well after Lazar came forward. The "X-Files"
was based on the folklore at the time it was created, which certainly
included Lazar (even inspired by Lazar perhaps!).
The question remains unresolved whether there was a similar poster
that pre-dated Lazar's claims. Someone recently suggested that
there was. I think it was from the Movie "V," but I've lost the original
message. The original poster said, "They're Here!" but the craft
was different. It could have inspired either Lazar (if lying) or the
people who created the poster Lazar saw at S-4.

Another reader thinks that the "They're Here!" poster originally
came from the TV mini-series "V".

Glenn:
I looked into the movie "V" as a source for the "They're Here" posters. Not
much luck. The original show was a two parter airing 5/1/83 and 5/2/83.
The show came back with 3 new parts (This time called "V - The Final Battle")
on 5/6/84, 5/7/84 and 5/8/84.
Lastly, there was a short lived series that began on 10/26/84.
I took a look at some newspapers and s few magazines from the period around
the very first showing, but couldn't turn anything up. I'm still inclined to
think that was the source however. I'm going to check some video stores and
see if any have it. There might be something in the movie itself.
BTW, the plot is a whole slew of GIANT discs (Like 1 mile in diameter) show up
in the skies, and the aliens (who look pretty much like us) offer us all sorts
of fantastic technical advances in exchange for our garbage from which they
plan to extract chemicals they need. Of course it's too good to be true, and
they have sinister motives. Top scientists start disappearing, those who've
figured out what they're up to.
