"The Unnatural" is the 19th episode of the sixth season of the American science fiction television series The X-Files, which first aired on April 25, 1999, on the Fox network. The series centers on FBI special agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), who work on cases linked to the paranormal. This episode was written and directed by Duchovny (pictured), and received positive reviews from critics and a viewership of 16.88 million people on its debut. In the episode, Arthur Dales (M. Emmet Walsh), the brother of a previously recurring retired FBI agent, tells Mulder the story of a black baseball player who played for the Roswell Grays in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947 under the pseudonym "Josh Exley" (Jesse L. Martin). Exley is actually an alien who is later tracked down by the Alien Bounty Hunter (Brian Thompson) and executed for betraying his people. The episode was inspired by the 1947 Roswell Incident. Many of the outdoor baseball scenes were filmed at Jay Littleton Ballfield, an all-wood stadium in Ontario, California. The episode has been critically examined for its use of literary motifs, its fairy tale-like structure, and its themes of racism and alienation. (Full article...)

The European wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris) is a subspecies of the wildcat. It is native to the forests and grasslands of Europe, as well as Turkey and the Caucasus Mountains. Bulkier than both the African wildcat and the domestic cat, the European wildcat is also distinguished by its thick fur and non-tapered tail. Though it is predominantly nocturnal, the European wildcat may be active in the daytime in the absence of humans.
