SPOILER ALERT: ‘I can only classify as alien’: Scully morphs into an extra-terrestrial in opening scene from The X-Files finale

She’s spent much of the series denying the existence of aliens.

But if the opening scene of the X-Files finale is to be believed, Dana Scully is one.

The two-and-a-half minute sequence, which gives a sneak peak into the last episode of the revival miniseries, finishes with Gillian Anderson physically morphing into an extra-terrestrial.

The final episode starts just like the first one, but instead of Fox Mulder bringing viewers up to speed using photographs from old cases, it’s his partner who sets the scene.

‘Soon after joining the FBI, I was asked to review the work of a fellow agent, Fox Mulder, and to debunk the X-Files – cases involving what my superiors regarded as science fiction… and a waste of resources,’ she explains over throwback stills from the early ’90s.

‘I quickly came to understand that Mulder’s work on the paranormal wasn’t such as I’d been led to believe; that the X-files were worthy of Mulder’s investigations, and of mine.

As Scully stares at the camera, her hair disappears, her skull balloons, her nose recedes into two slits and her eyes become enormous black pools – in what may or may not be a vision or dream sequence.

The final episode of The X-Files airs on February 22!
