Description:  Bureau of Alien Detectors (BAD) is a 1996 animated series about an elite, top-secret team called the Phalanx Squad, which is tasked with finding, confronting, and containing alien life on Earth. Led by war hero Ben Packer, the team includes psychic Casey Taylor, biologist Shane Sanderson, computer expert Colin Marcus, and alien survivor Moose Trengannu, who has shapeshifting powers. The show, described as "X-Files meets The A-Team," was noted for its adult-oriented themes, including government conspiracy, but was short-lived, running for only 13 episodes on UPN Kids.

Premise: A secret organization, the Bureau of Alien Detectors, exists to protect humanity from extraterrestrial threats that have arrived on Earth.

Team: The five-person Phalanx Squad includes: Ben Packer: The leader, a military war hero. Casey Taylor: A psychic. Shane Sanderson: A life science expert and medic. Colin Marcus: A computer and intelligence specialist. Moose Trengannu: An alien encounter survivor with super-strength and the ability to "Elemental Morph" by taking on the properties of objects he touches.

Tone: The show is described as having a more mature and intense tone than a typical children's cartoon, with an emphasis on action, government conspiracy, and themes of trust versus corruption.
