Mystery Men In Black, Who Are They Actually?

Since about 50 years ago, witnesses claimed UFO sightings visited by mysterious men in black who asked them not to tell their experiences. These mysterious men called the Men In Black.

History of Men In Black

Acts of Men In Black came to the surface through a book published in 1956 titled "They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers" by Gray Barker.

Barker is a resident of Braxton county which later became interested in the UFO phenomenon and began to collect information relating to ufo.

Then the story of Men In Black re-popularized by Albert Bender in 1962 through a book titled "Flying Saucers and the three men". Bender is a friend of Gray Barker who is also manager of the magazine Fate Magazine.

27 years later, Barker returned to write the story of the Men In Black through a book called "MIB: The Secret Terror Among Us" published in 1983. Both men are regarded as the person most responsible for the spread of the legend of Men In Black.

Description Men In Black

In the books published by Barker and Bender, Men In Black or popularly known as MIB is described as a man dressed in black who always visited the witnesses of UFO sightings and threatened them to keep quiet about their experiences. They also generally use sunglasses and big cars are also black.

MIB also said to have unusual facial features. They seem to have detailed information about the witnesses of UFO encounters, as if they had been stalking the witnesses quite a while.

Sometimes these mysterious men claiming to be from government agencies that are collecting information about an unexplained phenomenon. They also often convince the witnesses who visited that strange object being viewed is not really there or just a hallucination.

History encounter Men In Black

The first encounter with the Men in Black are known to occur in 1947. At that time, a harbor officer named Harold A. Dahl witnessed a UFO over the waters of Puget Sound, Washington.

Then a fraction of a UFO crashed into his ship and killed Dahl's dog. Some time after that encounter, a man dressed in black visited the Dahl and forced him to not discuss it with anyone sightings.

Then, in 1953, Albert Bender was jealous actively doing research on the UFO mystery claimed that three men visited her and warned her not to continue his research.

Bender is the story that later became the basis of Gray Barker's book "They Knew Too Much about Flying Saucers."

In subsequent years, there are still several more reports that seem to be somewhat difficult to confirm its validity. But at that time the story of Men In Black has become very popular.

Theories Men In Black

Of the many theories developed regarding the identity of the Men In Black, there are at least four theories are most often referred to, namely:

1. Alien

Some ufolog believe that the MIB is actually an alien, or at least android (human robot) is controlled directly by the aliens. They were sent to earth to help maintain the confidentiality of alien activity on Earth.

This theory is strengthened by the fact that in several occasions MIB look awkward and unfamiliar with the norms that usually done by humans, such as jokes or idioms of everyday life.

Then the MIB are called to speak with the notes that as stiff as arranged. There is even a witness who said that three men who visited him MIB have similar faces.

2. Visits Devil

Amazingly, this is precisely the mystical theory proposed by researchers like John Keel UFO themselves. He said there are similarities between the story of the visit reports MIB encounter with the devil in the past.

Keel stated the possibility that the MIB is a modern manifestation of the devil sightings in the past. Peter Rojcewicz, an expert on the stories of people agree with this opinion.

For those who believe in this theory, of course, they also have to believe that the whole UFO activity is the activity of the devil.

3. Government agencies, military or CIA

Regarding MIB, a writer named Bill Moore said that this MIB is actually a government agent who comes from the air force intelligence unit called the United States Air Force Special Activities Center (AFSAC). The headquarters unit is believed to be in Belfour, Virginia.

But Moore said that it was inspired by reports AFSAC MIB in the 1950s so that they can not be associated with the MIB before that year's visit.

The theory that the MIB is a government entity, whether AFSAC or not, it seems also confirmed by several clues.

For example in 1953, the CIA set up Robertson panel whose purpose was to investigate the UFO phenomenon, especially in the Washington area. And one of the methods is spying on independent UFO researchers. Shortly afterwards, reports emerged MIB visit.

One more thing that makes this theory plausible is some U.S. government agencies like the FBI require that employees use the black suit in charge.

Although the above three theories seem to have a fairly reasonable argument, but there is a huge question still hangs. Why only a handful of witnesses of UFO sightings that received a visit MIB? What about the other witnesses?

4. Hoax

In an article titled "Gray Barker: My Friend, the Myth-Maker", John C. Sherwood said that when he was 18 years old, he agreed to cooperate with Gray Barker to create a hoax about the "blackmen", ie the three occupants are killed ufo "Dr.Richard Pratt", played by Sherwood himself.

Sherwood writing seems to be confirmed by other researchers like John Keel ufo which discovered many irregularities on the story of Gray Barker. If Barker completely fabricate a story about Men In Black, then certainly the whole legend of the MIB is a hoax.

Men In Black - Conclusion

If you try to find the story of an encounter on the Men In Black in google, then you would have trouble because it always brought to the site Men In Black movie. Acts of Men In Black seems indeed very difficult to confirm.

Therefore, chances are the story of Men In Black is just a fantasy written by Barker and Bender. The books are written by the two men are very popular in those days so people tend to be paranoid.

If the MIB is actually a secret government agency or an alien who tried to hide UFO activity, then back again to the question above, why only a handful of witnesses who get a visit among the thousands of other UFO sightings?
