"He said his name is JC, to call him JC. He says he's from the Office of Naval Intelligence. They basically are saying, we'd like to strike some kind of arrangement, some kind of deal with you guys. We would help give you some information that might be useful to you, and you would try to accommodate that into some of your future scripts."
Bryce Zabel, creator of the 1996 NBC series Dark Skies, claims men identifying themselves as Navy intelligence officers appeared at his home and office during production, offering classified UFO information in exchange for incorporating it into episodes. The approach included specific directives about portraying underwater UFO activity and promises of briefings. Zabel says the encounters culminated in a bizarre request to meet an admiral at a cemetery at midnight, which he declined.
