'X-Files' 25-Year Song Mystery Solved

Unidentified Country Song 'Staring at the Stars' Discovered to be Work of Dan Marfisi and Glenn Jordan

An unidentified country song from a 1998 episode of 'The X-Files' has been discovered to be 'Staring at the Stars', written and recorded by Dan Marfisi and Glenn Jordan.
The song, described as a 'love song from an alien abductee to the alien who disappeared', was not listed in the show's credits or included on an 'X-Files' theme album, leading to a 25-year mystery about its origins.
The mystery was solved when a viral thread on social media platform X, initiated by Lauren Ancona, led to the identification of the song and its creators.
Marfisi and Jordan, who were unaware of the song's cult status, are now considering ways to monetize the discovery and plan to officially release the song.
The song was used in 'Dreamland II', the fifth episode of the show’s sixth season, and was never released elsewhere, leading to its obscurity.
