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 often before) he reports the sighting, two or three
figures who appear to be almost human, dressed in black conservative suits,
often with sharply white shirts, black ties, dark hats and black shoes,
arrive at the witness's home.
They appear to be FBI agents from early black and white B-movies. Some
appear to be suntanned or olive skinned with Asian features. Some are pale
and wan. They flash badges and ID, claiming to be from government agencies
or UFO investigating organizations.
They often appear awkward or ill-at-ease and talk in the stilted, dramatic
slang of 1940s gangster movies, warning witnesses that if they want their
wives to "... stay as pretty as she is," they will keep their mouths shut or
recover samples or photographs sent to labs for analysis.
Their cars are as unusual as the entities. Classic reports of MIBs state
they arrive in brand new Cadillacs (in America) or brand new Jaguars (in the
UK and Europe), although the models they drive have been out of production
for 20 or 30 years! License plates, when checked, are always numbers that
have not been issued. A third entity will often remain in the car, sometimes
enshrouded in an ozone-like aura.
One explanation of the enigma is that they are some kind of transmitted
hallucination. Another is that they are pure hallucinations conjured from
the minds of the witnesses, perhaps as a result of the stress associated
with a UFO encounter. But why their appearance and mannerisms remain so
consistent in reports from worldwide sources, including from people in
remote areas who know little or nothing of UFO lore, remains a mystery.
More complex theories purport that MIBs are a part of some elaborate
psychological experiment conducted by government agencies, both foreign and
domestic, using subliminal transmissions and telepathy to either implant the
images or to test a witness's integrity.
In 1976, Dr. Herbert Hopkins was working as a consulting hypnotist on an
alleged UFO abduction case in Maine. One night when he was home alone, he
received a telephone call from a person who said he represented a New Jersey
UFO research group, a claim which later proved to be false.
The caller asked to visit Hopkins to discuss the abduction case and the
doctor agreed to meet with the caller. It was only after the meeting that he
would reflect upon how odd it was that he had so readily agreed to share the
details of the case with a stranger.
He did not even consider it odd at the time, however, that only seconds
after the call he found a man waiting at his front door. The man was
hairless; bald and completely without eyelashes or brows. He was dressed in
the classic black suit, white shirt. black ties, black shoes. Hopkins
imagined that he was a mortician.
Completely at ease with this unusual visitor whose dead-white face was
punctuated only by lips that appeared to be covered with lipstick, Dr.
Hopkins invited the man in and sat with him for some time while the details
of the abduction case were discussed.
After a period, Hopkins noticed that the stranger's speech was slowing and
his movements appeared to become unsteady. His parting words to his host, as
he rose to leave, were: "My energy is running low. Must go now. Good-bye."
Only after the MIB had staggered away did Hopkins understand the strangeness
of the event.
With certain variations, this visit is considered to be typical of the
legendary Men In Black, beings who are on the surface human, but who are
clearly something else. Since the 1950s, MIB have become almost an adjunct
of some UFO sightings and have attained a near-mythical status in UFO lore.
Many MIB appear to be puzzled and confused about such everyday items as
ball-point pens and eating utensils. Nearly all have in common a somber
appearance and immaculate black and white attire. They tend to be robotic or
android-like, emotionless and business-like in their mannerisms. Some
instill fear by their very appearance and presence.
Although there has never been a report of actual physical harm, MIBs often
threaten witnesses with all sorts of violence to dissuade them from talking
about UFO sightings or seeking information about them.
The theory that MIBs are from some government organization has gradually
lost favor, primarily because no one can imagine any but the most paranoid
and nefarious federal agents of perpetrating such a conspiracy, but that is
not to say that paranoid and dangerous federal agents are not out there
listening to your phone calls or reading your mail.
Whether or not they paint their faces and dress in pressed black suits to
dissuade you from investigating your UFO encounter too closely is another
question, and one that may never be satisfactorily answered.
NEWS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
SHOOTING THE MOON
In an article from the January 26, 1994 edition of the Bakersfield
Californian, "An unmanned spacecraft roared off the launch pad Tuesday for a
seven-month mission to photograph the moon as part of the first U.S. lunar
exploration mission in 21 years.
"Clementine I will use sensors built by the Defense Department for missile
defense to create strip photographs of the moon and an asteroid called
Geographos.
"Data collected when Clementine I points its instruments at the moon next
month and at Geographos next summer will be merely a by-product of a $75
million plus mission primarily intended to test new defense technology."
UFO researchers have learned that Clementine I will also be sending detailed
photographs of the "artifacts on the moon" first reported in the early
1970s.
LASER WEAPONS
In a January 9, 1994 article in The London Sunday Times, Lois Rogers states:
"The International Committee of The Red Cross is demanding a ban on
futuristic laser guns which it says are being developed to blind enemy
troops by burning out their eyes.
"The move follows a four-year inquiry by medical, military and legal
experts, and will be put to United Nations delegates in Geneva next month.
It is hoped that a ban on blinding weapons, including an existing Royal Navy
system, will be part of a new UN weapons convention next year.
"Concern centers on a range of laser systems being developed in America
which, experts say, could be used as anti-personnel weapons. The report also
highlights a British laser system which has been used on Royal Navy ships
for more than 10 years, designed to dazzle pilots in attacking fighter
aircraft. Three Argentine planes are thought to have been brought down by an
early version of this weapon.
"It has been reported that one U.S. weapon has been demonstrated to the
Royal Marines. That system, code-named Stingray or Outrider, targets the
optics and range-finding equipment of enemy tanks, blinding them with laser
beams to render them useless without destroying them. American officials
deny that anti-personnel laser weapons are being developed.
Ministry of Defense laser research has concluded that there is a threat to
British troops and John Marshall, professor of opthalmology at St. Thomas'
Hospital in London, was commissioned to research anti-laser goggles. He
concluded that there is no total defense against laser beams.
"His alarm is shared by Major General Bengt Anderberg, Chief of Planning and
Budget in the Swedish Defense Staff, and co-author of a book on blinding
weapons. He says, "It is difficult to care for a lot of people blinded at
the same time."
MISSING AT LOS ALAMOS
What's $12 million between friends?
In a recent article from the Albuquerque Journal, Tamar Stieber says: "A
pittance, if the friends happen to be the U.S. Department of Energy and Los
Alamos National Laboratory.
"The laboratory, part of the DOE's national nuclear weapons complex,
acknowledges it has lost track of about $12 million worth of property_mostly
scientific equipment but also things like computers, copiers and electronic
components.
"Officials say most of the missing equipment is somewhere on lab property_43
square miles of it_they're just not sure where. And the lab's own
"wall-to-wall" inventory still hasn't solved the mystery.
"They also point out that compared to the lab's $1 billion inventory, the
missing equipment is statistically 'insignificant'."
OH, THAT $32 BILLION AMPLIFIER!
Cooleemee, North Carolina.
"Roger Spillman paid $75 for what he thought was a radio amplifier at a
salvage auction. He never got it to work and never got a refund.
"There may be some consolation in knowing the device would have survived a
nuclear blast, however.
"Turns out the device is a $363,735 piece of military hardware, part of a
planned global communications system designed to survive nuclear war,
according the Winston-Salem Journal in a January 1994 article.
"The Air Force showed up with a court order in December and reclaimed the
device. It only learned about the missing amplifier when Spillman, unable to
get it to work with his radio, turned to a local ham-radio operator, who
called the amplifier's manufacturer, Raytheon Corp., for an instruction
manual. Raytheon employees asked for the serial number, then called the Air
Force.
"Air Force Special Investigations found out that Raytheon sent two Extremely
High Frequency (EHF) Amplifiers to the Milstar program at McClellan Air
Force Base in Sacramento, California in December 1992.
"Several Air Force officials couldn't explain how such a sensitive piece of
equipment could be missing for nearly a year, how it ended up in the freight
salvage yard or how it came to be sold.
"The new pale-green amplifier is part of the $32 billion Milstar system
designed to send and receive military messages throughout the nation's
nuclear arsenal even while under nuclear attack, the paper reported."
OH, THIS SATELLITE!
The New York Times, January 17, 1994
"An elaborate satellite system created to help fight a long nuclear war with
the Soviet Union is being prepared for launch next month, even as questions
mount in Congress about its cost and need, given the diminished prospects
for such a conflict.
"Built to act as a space-based brain for nuclear war, the Milstar system
would be a global switchboard_a network of satellites to relay military
commands long after Washington and the Pentagon were destroyed in battle. It
would also be one of the most expensive projects in the Pentagon's history.
"Designed to allow the United States forces to endure a six-month nuclear
Armageddon, it has already survived attempts by the Air Force to eliminate
it to save money.
"The first Milstar launch is scheduled for February 5th from Cape Kennedy,
Florida.
"Although many of Milstar's abilities remain secret, the original goals for
the system included the ability to retreat from an orbit of 23,300 miles to
a deep-space orbit of 110,000 miles to evade potential attackers; the
ability to shield itself from nuclear explosions, including the
electromagnetic pulse, a tidal wave of charged electrons that could
devastate the nation's electronic circuits; and the ability to foil enemy
effort to jam their messages.
"Eric DeRitis, a Lockheed spokesman, said, 'There is no satellite system
that can do what's slated for this system.' But Pentagon officials
acknowledge that it will take years, and a large-scale war, before they know
if Milstar can do what it was designed to do."
