Trivia

*The title refers to the term used in Judeo-Christian theology, "apocrypha" (from the Greek word "απόκρυφα" meaning "those having been hidden away"), to denote texts of uncertain authenticity or writings where the authorship is questioned, as well as the term referring to any collection of scriptural texts that fall outside biblical canon. During the sixteenth-century, the word "apocrypha" acquired a negative connotation, becoming a synonym for "spurious", or "false".

*The door to the silo in which the salvaged UFO wreckage is stored bears the number "1013" [ten thirteen] which is the name of Chris Carter's production company named after his birthday of October 13th.

*Similar to its previous episode Piper Maru, Michael Bublé gueststars in this episode, but is not credited.
