The Visitor is an American SCI-FI television series created by Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, who also created the Stargate movie and Independence Day, which was produced by Centropolis Television and 20th Century Fox Television that aired on Fox from September 19, 1997 to January 16, 1998. It starred John Corbett as Adam McArthur who was abducted by extraterrestrials 50 years earlier and escapes back to Earth to help improve life for humanity.

The series was created in parallel with the world's first webshows, the now defunct Thevisitor.com, which featured alternate characters, interweaving storylines and early use of DHTML animation. The premise of The Visitor is similar to the 2004 television series The 4400.

Premise:

Adam MacArthur (played by John Corbett) vanished in the Bermuda Triangle during World War II. He comes back to Earth 50 years later with strange, remarkable abilities. He wants to save humanity from self-destruction and help people get their lives on track. He travels across the United States while running from government agents and the aliens who first took him.

I really loved this show back in the day, I think I have only seen it once, never was able to do a rewatch. Unfortunately The Visitor has never been released on physical media! Very recently I found out that is free available on YouTube! Rewatch here we come!
