1957: AH, THOSE MEN IN BLACK!

By Associate Charles A. Marcoux On Saturday, April 28, 1957 Howard Menger gave a talk on Flying Saucers in Flint, Michigan. Many leaders of Michigan UFO groups were in the audience. I was more impressed by the men in black who accompanied him than I was by Menger himself. They let him hold the attention of the group while they watched him, like a hawk about to pounce on its prey. There were two of them, dressed in high quality black suits of a material which literally shone. I would like to have examined them more thoroughly, but sensed a menace there which later proved all too real. Here are a few notes from Menger’s talk. Claimed he first sensed the aliens in 1931 when […] Read More

Flying Saucers and the Three Men by Al Bender In 1953, American UFO research pioneer Al Bender was visited by three strange men, dressed entirely in black, who transported him to their craft but warned him against making any of their revelations public. Part 1 by Albert K. Bender 1963 Extracted from his classic book: Flying Saucers and the Three Men First published in 1963 by Neville Spearman Limited, London, UK and more recently by Illuminet Press, USA as a limited edition Discord first arose at IFSB [International Flying Saucer Bureau] headquarters at a meeting held early in March 1953.

1992: MIB Want Photograph

“Reed’s encounter with the unknown” by Norman Kissell. (Dearborn Co. Register; Lawrenceburg, IN. March 19, 1992. CR: D. Worley.) Reed Thompson, a Milan High School freshman, was at his home on Hickory Lane in Milan early in the afternoon of Jan. 19, 1967, due to a partial school day. Thinking he saw a light outside where none was supposed to be, he realized that a silver-colored object about 200 yards away was moving slowly toward the house. The object was about 20 feet off the ground and was moving at about the speed of a walking man. Later it was estimated to have been approximately seven feet in diameter and five-and-a-half feet high. It had tiny portholes. Reed succeeded in taking a picture of the object […] Read More

1998: The MIB Enigma

By: Louise A. Lowry Who are these strangers called Men-in-Black (MIB)? Arguments for and against do little to resolve this ever-increasing mystery. Are they part of our own “Secret Government?” Or are they extraterrestrial entities themselves? Often people saying that the faces of these MIB were Oriental looking. And what about the reports of them even being “Robots”? Here are reports and stories so bizarre that many of them defy any sort of earthly explanation, stories of actual UFO sightings and people’s harassment by the MIB. Including my own true story when I was a child and the stranger that dared to come. A Craft Sighting, Plus a Stranger As I think back on this time in my life, I find it very weird as […] Read More

1997: Men in Black

They sat quietly, leaning toward the lectern in a dark-paneled room near Lake Calhoun as a professor from New York told of his encounter with one of the mysterious Men in Black. In the audience were people like biophysicist Otto Schmitt, a retired professor of electrical engineering at the University of Minnesota, retired aircraft developer and physicist Cecil Behringer, physician Steven Zuckerman and polymer scientist Arthur Coury, Medtronic’s director of venture technology. Peter Rojcewicz told them there have been hundreds – perhaps thousands – of such encounters over the centuries. “The Men in Black are part of the extraordinary encounter continuum – fairies, monsters, ETS, energy forms, flying saucers, flaming crosses,” said Rojcewicz, a 37-year-old professor of humanities and folklore at New York’s Juilliard School. […] Read More

1947: Men In Black and the Maury Island Incident

Introduction Rest assured, to many whom have experienced some form of ufotic experience, followed by later visitations of a surrealistic nature, the Men in Black (MIB) scenario may be considered more fact than fiction. Regardless of what you may think about this aspect of the UFO – Extraterrestrial continuum, fact or fiction, it seems to have evolved to a mythological level of its own. Will the mysteries behind the MIB ever be solved? Can humanity, at its present level of evolution, hope to answer the previous question? Or are we not yet ready for the answers, psychologically, emotionally, or physically. Could be we are not ready. But that won’t keep us from the attempt to find them. It is best to look at all paranormal […] Read More

1998: Men In Black: Menace Or Mirage?

Ominous entities visit UFO witnesses to threaten and coerce them to silence. Men in black are unknown entities who threaten and menace UFO witnesses. They claim to be from obscure government agencies that don’t exist and they drive brand new vintage cars with license plates that subsequently prove to be unissued numbers. Men in black ultimately prove to be harmless, despite all their threats of beatings and kidnapping. But who are they and who sends them to the homes of UFO witnesses? An encounter with the mysterious figures can be one of the most disturbing experiences a UFO witness can have. Visits from MIBs follow a set pattern and usually happens to a male UFO witness who reports his sighting or encounter. Immediately after (and […] Read More

1998: Men In Black

Also referred to as the ‘Men In Black‘ or ‘Horlocks’. These are apparently in many cases humans who are controlled by draconian influences, although other ‘MIB’ have been encountered which do not seem human, but more reptilian OR synthetic. The ‘MIB’ have been encountered often after UFO sightings, usually intimidating witnesses into keeping silent about what they’ve seen (many of the witnesses may be ‘abductees’ with suppressed memories of the event). Their ‘threats’ appear to be motivated by attempts to utilize ‘terrorism’, ‘fear’ or ‘intimidation’ as a psychological weapon against witnesses. This ‘weapon’ may not only be used to keep the human ‘MIB’ under control but by the human MIB themselves. ‘They’ are often though not always seen in connection with large, black automobiles, some […] Read More

1993: Men In Black, An Investigation

BoB Oechsler (reprinted on totse.com) Men In Black 11-11-93 Among the attachments included here are responses to questions submitted regarding CURSE.TXT, Guardian, “Original Guardian”, Alien Liaison book reference authored by Timothy Good, etc. and the following file listings. 11] Biographical Information Sheet – BoB Oechsler 12] Guardian Investigation – UFO Video Case (February 1993) 13] Insider’s Report – Investigating the Guardian Enigma The latter is an indepth report on the investigation through May of 1993. There have been other interesting revelations and discoveries since then that again tend to support more of Guardian’s claims reported as “preposterous” by Robert Stack on the “Unsolved Mysteries” broadcast of 2-03-93. My personal experience indicates that this one case has been subjected to more diversified scientific scrutiny than any […] Read More

1988: Men in Black: The UFO Terrorists

Anne Jablonicky, UFO UNIVERSE Vol.1, No.3, Nov.,1988 I have never dared to tell this story before. First off, nobody would believe me, and second of all, how does one go about coming to terms with a terror so unbelievably real that it literally make the hair on your arm bristle, and your flesh crawl? The “Men in Black” – or “MIB” for short – have had this ominously evil effect on dozens of other level-headed individuals. But let me explain in more detail for those not aware of the regin of terror that has gone on in the UFO field, almost totally undetected for so many years. There are it would seem, at leased two different distinct types of MIB that we must contend with. […] Read More
