Frank Druce (played by Peter LaCroix) was a member of the US Military Special Operations Black Bierre and served in Mosul, Iraq during the Gulf War. He posed as a truck driver to escort a secret cargo for the military. He used the alias "Ranheim" when he was arrested for using a fire-arm on a county road in Tennessee in 1994. His report of strange silhouttes and UFO activity attracted the attentions of FBI Special Agents Mulder and Scully. It appeared to Mulder that the Lexington Police chief had been pressured by a higher authority to release Druce.
