Cultural references
- Much of the episode contains references to TV show The X-Files. Mulder and Scully are FBI agents from the series, and are voiced by their actors. The Cigarette Smoking Man from the show also appears.
- When Homer is asked to identify which alien he saw, the line-up includes Marvin the Martian (Warner Bros.), Gort (from The Day the Earth Stood Still), Chewbacca (from Star Wars), either Kang or Kodos, and ALF.

The Line up - This is considered the most illegal scene in Simpsons' history
- After Homer is been examined by Scully and Mulder, a view on Moe's Tavern is shown with brief description, after which "ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY" text is repeatedly written on screen. This refers to famous scene from "The Shining" by Stanley Kubrick.
