2001: The Men in Black Phenomenon

Space 2001 MIB. One of the most unusual aspects of the UFO mystery is the Men in Black (MIB) phenomenon. It involves the subtle intimidation of UFO witnesses by strange visitors dressed almost entirely in black. The recent movie on the subject trivialized the whole issue, but what is the truth concerning MIB? Is it all just a baseless fantasy or is there really an agency that sends out darkly dressed men to secure peoples silence? Long term activity. Years of amassed evidence points to a definite trend that is no mere illusion. In the 1950’s a number of witnesses to UFO sightings claimed to have received threatening visits from men attired almost entirely in black. Typically they would be dressed in black suit and […] Read More

Appearance Often described as having olive complexions with Asian or Gypsy – like features. Eyes are often described as strange, sometimes glowing.

1998: Exploring The Myth of The Men In Black

Andrew Lunn, British UFO Research Assoc., and ISUR This section explores the myth of the MIB(Men In Black). It is mainly based on my MIB research regarding incidents after 1976 in England. Many seem to feel it was divisions of the USAF that created the MIB myth, but this could not be further from the truth. There is strong evidence to suggest that MIB have been co-existing with us, since we care to remember and this leads one to ask why there was ever such a need. The actual basis of their origin lies deep within the recesses of the UFO witness, as research suggests that MIB normally make an appearance after somebody has witnessed a UFO. This has often led me to believe whether […] Read More

2011: Lair of the Beasts: Monsters the Men in Black – Mania

Mothman & the MIB By Nick Redfern     May 21, 2011 For decades – or perhaps even for centuries, some firmly believe – the infamous Men in Black have been elusive, predatory, fear-inducing figures that have hovered with disturbing regularity upon the enigmatic fringes of the subject of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), coldly nurturing, and carefully weaving, their very own unique brand of horror and intimidation of a definitively other-world variety. The preferred tools of terror of the MIB are outright menace, far less than thinly-veiled threats, and overwhelming, emotionless intimidation. And they are relentless when it comes to following their one and only agenda – that is, to forever silence witnesses to, and investigators of, UFO encounters. Unfortunately, it has to be admitted, they […] Read More

1976: Agents of the Dark – Men in Black

‘The Unexplained’ No. 39 Rarely – if ever – do the threats of the mysterious Men In Black, following a close encounter, come to anything. So what could be the purpose behind their visits? In September 1976, Dr. Herbert Hopkins, a 58-year-old doctor and hypnotist, was acting as a consultant on an alleged UFO teleportation case in Maine, USA. One evening, when his wife and children had gone out leaving him alone, the telephone rang and a man identifying himself as vice-president of the New Jersey UFO Research Organisation asked if he might visit Dr. Hopkins that evening to discuss certain details of the case. Dr. Hopkins agreed; at the time, it seemed the natural thing to do. He went to the back door to […] Read More

2000: About Mothmen and Men in Black

What may well have been the most notorious of all “scares” involving reptilian beings, involved a combined “invasion” of pterodactylin-hominoid “Mothmen” and “Men In Black”. These creatures have been referred to as Mothmen, Winged Dracos, and Winged Serpents, depending on the source involved. They reportedly terrorized a particular area in West Virginia, according to John A. Keel, in the mid-1960’s. Keel is convinced that these malevolent entities were involved in the tragic “silver bridge” disaster in which several UFO witnesses perished, based on certain strange circumstances surrounding the event. In his book ‘THE MOTHMEN PROPHECIES’ (Signet Books., N.Y.) Keel reveals the following: “The moment I met Mrs. Hyre’s niece Connie Carpenter in 1966, I knew she was telling the truth because her eyes were reddened, […] Read More

1975: A Review of MIB’s (Men In Black): A History

Submitted by Linda Murphy  “MONSTERS: Giants and Little Men From Mars” DELL Publications (paperback) (C) 1975 Written by: Daniel Cohen Chapter 10 “The Men in Black and Other Terrors” When the Condon Committee was sampling public attitudes toward UFOs they gave this statement to a cross section of the American Public: A government agency maintains a Top Secret file of UFO reports that are deliberately withheld from the public.” The respondents were supposed to answer TRUE or FALSE.

Among teenagers, the credibility gap was even wider — 73 percent believed the statement to be true. General opinion studies conducted by the Condon Committee, and other surveys […] Read More
