So the alien colonization plot was never real?

we don't know if anybody was lying to Mulder... as has been done before.

indeed it was,this piece of script is from episode Gethsemane 4X24




(Kritschgau sits on a chair across from Mulder on the sofa. Scully is leaning against
the doorway between the dining and living rooms)

KRITSCHGAU:
The lie you believe, that they have cleverly led you to believe, Agent Mulder, is that there is intelligent life, other than our own, and that we have had contact with these life forms.

MULDER:
So you're saying this has all been orchestrated? A hoax?

KRITSCHGAU:
Which you've been used to perpetuate.

MULDER:
You come by this knowledge how?

KRITSCHGAU:
Working for the D.O.D. Watching a military industrial complex that operated unbridled and unchecked during the Cold War, create a diversion of attention from itself and its continued misdeeds by confabulating enough believable evidence to convince passionate adepts like yourself... that it really could be true.

MULDER:
And just by chance, you run into Agent Scully?

KRITSCHGAU:
(Gives the comment a snort and smile) I was just like you, Agent Mulder, suspicious of everything but what you should be. I ran the D.O.D.'s agitprop arm for a decade. I can show you records of disinformation dating back to the Korean War, before you were even born.

MULDER:
Why come to me now? Why not four years ago?

KRITSCHGAU:
I have a son who's very sick. He served in the Gulf War... The lies are so deep the only way to cover them, is to create something even more incredible. They invented you. Your regression hypnosis, the story of your sister's abduction, the lies they fed your father. You wanted to believe so badly. And who could have blamed you?

MULDER:
And the thousands of UFO sightings?

KRITSCHGAU:
Above top secret military aircraft, concept designed to feed hysteria.

MULDER:
Evidence of alien biology?

KRITSCHGAU:
Unclassified, but naturally occurring biologic anomalies science will eventually explain.

MULDER:
The body that was found?

KRITSCHGAU:
Meticulously constructed out of biomaterials created through the hybridization of differentiated cells. What are called chimeras. Frozen into place over the course of a year using sentiment and materials that would bear out its age, poured through a small channel drilled in the rock above.

MULDER:
They would have known that the body would be carbon dated, that it would be proved a fake.

KRITSCHGAU:
The body will never be tested, Agent Mulder.

MULDER:
What do you mean?

KRITSCHGAU:
You were only meant to see it, to make you believe the lie, so that you might finally commit and go public with the news.

MULDER:
(To Scully) This man is a liar.

KRITSCHGAU:
You can see for yourself, Agent Mulder. The body is already long gone.
