1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000 Welcome to Sightings. I'm Tim White. 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000 From MIBS, that's an acronym for Man in Black. 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,000 These Man in Black are one of the least known and yet most disturbing elements of the UFO experience. 4 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,000 The phenomenon is reported worldwide and the stories that witnesses tell are remarkably similar. 5 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000 Seeing a UFO can be an exhilarating experience, 6 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000 but for some that excitement soon turns into desperate paranoia. 7 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,000 After a sighting, some witnesses report that they're threatened and harassed by mysterious thugs 8 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000 known to UFO investigators as MIBS, Men in Black. 9 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000 Just who are these men in black? Where do they come from? 10 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000 And why do they seem to be tracking and spying on those who've had a close encounter? 11 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:54,000 There it was. It's a long, lit-up, cigar-shaped object heading just over the rooftop. 12 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000 Then it moved out of sight and I went back home. 13 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000 And when I got home, my wife said, you just got a phone call. 14 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,000 I said, a phone call? And it said that if you talk to the media about this, that your daughter will die. 15 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,000 Immediately following a UFO sighting, the strange encounters with MIBS begin. 16 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:17,000 They would walk in seemingly from nowhere, be driving a car that may be as old as 25 years. 17 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000 It would be immaculate, shiny without a mark on it. 18 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:28,000 The individual, in several cases, drove down to the end of the street, turned, the guy ran down after them, and they were completely gone. 19 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:35,000 Men dressed in black, driving black cars, reportedly follow and sometimes even threaten UFO witnesses. 20 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000 And their motives appear to be strangely sinister. 21 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,000 Witnesses driving home from having lunch at a restaurant have reported seeing a UFO. 22 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000 Before they could get home, they had cars waiting for them, warning them not to talk about the case. 23 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000 An investigator was approached by a very saturn looking man. 24 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000 He said, you know, people that look for UFOs sometimes find problems. 25 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:03,000 There have been a few cases where individuals have died under mysterious circumstances. 26 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,000 Reports of contact with MIBS seem to follow a definite pattern and occur throughout the world. 27 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,000 One horrified witness was harassed by MIBS after sighting a UFO near Toronto, Canada. 28 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000 And it was about three o'clock in the afternoon. There was a knock on the door. 29 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:27,000 I opened the door and there was this very odd looking man standing there. 30 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:35,000 He had a photograph album in his left arm and he didn't say anything for a whole minute. 31 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,000 He was about five foot six. He was extremely thin. 32 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:47,000 He had a slightly enlarged head. His face was a very strange olive hue. 33 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:53,000 He wore a black turtleneck. He wore a black pants. He was dressed entirely in black. 34 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:59,000 His eyes, they were not oriental looking. They were extremely long. 35 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,000 They literally wrapped around his temples. I have never seen eyes like that. 36 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,000 Those eyes held me. They held my attention. They seemed to be boring into me. 37 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:16,000 I felt very intruded upon on a mental level by those eyes. 38 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:23,000 The men in black cases for the most part have stirred up great amounts of paranoia. 39 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:31,000 In many cases, these people have attempted to pass themselves off, either as government agents or in some cases, Air Force officers. 40 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:40,000 At one point, the FBI was very heavily involved in tracking these cases down and attempting to arrest someone, but no one was ever caught. 41 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:50,000 Composite drawings created from witness testimony lead researchers to believe that MIBS could be aliens who have come to earth to silence people who know too much about UFOs. 42 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,000 In Russia, one witness reported being harassed and physically transformed by a MIBS. 43 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:01,000 Professor Paul Stonehill translated the Russian newspaper story about the woman's MIBS experience. 44 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:08,000 His touch was paralyzing and left effects upon the body of those whom he touched. 45 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,000 The daughter, she became magnetic and she would attract metals. 46 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:21,000 And like her hands became sort of electric conductors, her touch caused electric shock. 47 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,000 This is taking place now because the article is from April of 1992. 48 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,000 MIBS encounters are so disturbing, investigators fear many valuable witnesses might never come forward. 49 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:43,000 Those who do believe their lives are in danger and claim MIBS surveillance intensifies when they contact the media. 50 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,000 I think what has happened is they've gone to the black helicopters. 51 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:57,000 So I think that the men in black have just left their black Cadillacs behind and taken up black helicopters. 52 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:11,000 These helicopters, which have been described almost as a black, U.E. type Army helicopter with no numbers visible, have appeared almost silently with no helicopter noise that you associate with it. 53 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:20,000 Shirley and George Coyne are the Midwest directors of the Mutual UFO Network, MUFON, a UFO research organization. 54 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:29,000 The Coynes claim that they are being tailed by this silent black helicopter devoid of the necessary FAA identification numbers. 55 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,000 This video shot by Shirley Coyne is the only footage of an alleged MIBS encounter. 56 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:46,000 Well, this is the day we had a meeting and the copter met us about halfway between flushing and flushing and followed us all the way to our meeting place. 57 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:56,000 I'm not afraid of them because they haven't done anything to us yet and I feel the more vocal I am, the less they're going to do. 58 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,000 Is it possible that aliens with a secret agenda are harassing UFO witnesses? 59 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:08,000 Or could MIBS be cleverly disguised humans trying to silence those who've had close encounters? 60 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000 Investigators continue to search for answers. 61 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000 It's just something that there is no explanation for. 62 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:25,000 And by working on these cases and trying to use a scientific and investigative formula, we try to get to the bottom of them, but sometimes there doesn't seem to be a bottom. 63 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,000 Thank you.
