Flying Saucers, the Men in Black, and Mysterious Cars

Nick Redfern explores the connection between flying saucers, Men in Black, and mysterious cars.

For years – or perhaps even for centuries – the Men in Black have been elusive, fear-inducing figures who hover with disturbing regularity upon the enigmatic fringes of the UFO subject. They nurture and weave their very own unique brand of terror and intimidation. Like true specters from the outer edge, the MIB appear from the murky darkness, and roam the countryside provoking paranoia and fear in their notorious wake, before returning to that same shrouded realm from which they originally oozed. Very often traveling in groups of three, this definitive trinity of evil seemingly appears and disappears at will. They are very often seen driving 1950s-style black Cadillac’s. Particularly strange is the fact that most of the witnesses say that the cars of the Men in Black vanish almost impossibly quickly. It’s almost as if the vehicles of the MIB are beamed aboard UFOs. Maybe, that’s not too far from the truth. Read more

When a Bit of Paranoia in Ufology is Justified

Nick Redfern reveals why a bit of paranoia in ufology is justified. As the saying goes, just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

In a recent article here at Mysterious Universe I described how, on occasion, people in the UFO research field have fallen victim to paranoia. And, on some occasions, to an almost life-crippling degree. In many cases, the paranoia was provoked by wholly down to earth issues that were misinterpreted and blown out of proportion. A perfect example of one such case: back in the 1990s, I had a friend, Wayne, who lived in a little village in the north of England; a friend who was deeply involved in the UFO subject. Wayne told me that on three occasions across a period of several weeks, an old, black-colored Jaguar car was parked directly opposite his house, on the other side of the road. He was seriously concerned it was the Men in Black, carefully watching him. It was not. Read more

Mysterious Men in Black Question Residents About Unexplained Booms

Men in Black aren't just interested in UFOs. They have recently been questioning residents aboutunexplained booms.

The ongoing saga of the mystery booms being heard across the United States continues, and possibly taken a turn for the spooky. Over the past year, unexplained explosions and booming noises have been shaking homes and terrifying residents in many rural parts of the continental U.S. While the vast majority of these anomalous booms are left unexplained, the FBI has taken a particular interest in mysterious explosion noises recently heard across rural Pennsylvania just north of Philadelphia. Does this mean some sort of sleeper cell terrorist group might be practicing with improvised explosives? Read more

10 Creepy Encounters With tge Men In Black

Gregory Myers shares ten creepy stories of encounters with the "Men in Black."

Men in black have been popping up for awhile, usually whenever someone claims to have recently sighted a UFO. Shortly after each sighting, the person in question is visited by strange men who usually wear black suits, black ties, and white shirts.

The details and motives sometimes vary, but even stranger are the variations in the descriptions of the men in question. While some tales simply describe them as cold, aloof gentlemen wearing black suits, others say that they get an uncanny vibe from those who visit them. The stories tell of men who are unnaturally bald, men who talk in an almost robotic voice and wear lipstick over lipless mouths. Some suggest that they are from another world, disguising themselves as humans to learn our ways. Others believe that they are experimental cyborgs in the employ of the government. The truth behind the men in black is still shrouded in mystery, and we may never know the identity of these strange stalkers. Read more

Putin Becomes the 2nd Russian Leader to Discuss Men in Black

Russian President Vladimir Putin reveals why nothing every changes no matter who is elected.

Has Russian President Vladimir Putin joined the ranks of conspiracy theorists who believe that many world leaders – excluding himself and his Russian counterparts – are aliens working with the Men in Black? In a wide-ranging interview this week with the French newspaper Le Figaro, Putin may have let something slip out unintentionally: Read more

Dan Aykroyd's Men in Black Experience

Actor Dan Aykroyd reveals that he once had a Men in Black encounter.

In the must-see documentary Dan Aykroyd: Unplugged On UFO's director David Sereda spoke to the legendary Ghost Buster himself Dan Aykroyd about ufology (Dan is practically an expert on the top) and other interesting things. At one point, Sereda asked him to explain an MIB experience he had back in 2002.

Out There was filmed in late 2001 and early 2002 before it was cancelled in January 2002. Dan mentions Britney calling him to appear with him on SNL. The Saturday Night Live with Britney Spears episode (with Dan) aired on February 2, 2002 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0694810). She appeared on it to promote her 2002 movie Crossroads (which also starred Dan): Read more

UFO Sighting Results in Possible MIB Encounter

Lon Strickler reports that a UFO witness thinks he may have also had a Men in Black encounter. If he did, they seem to have updated their wardrobe.

I received the following report on Sunday evening. I needed to edit the original for various reasons:

Hello Sir. I was directed to you by a forum contributor who reads your website. I work as a night security officer at a warehouse in Plainfield, Indiana. The building is located about a mile west of the Indianapolis International Airport on Reeves Rd. At the time of the incident I was working with another security officer. Read more

Women in Black

In Ufology, a lot is heard about the Men in Black (MIB), but not so much about Women in Black. Are Women in Black just MIBs in dresses, or are they something else altogether?

Within the world of UFO research, the Men in Black are just about as legendary as they are feared. These pale-faced, ghoulish entities have for decades terrorized into silence both witnesses to, and researchers of, UFO encounters.

Theories for who, or what, the MIB might be are many. They include: extraterrestrials, government agents, demonic creatures, time-travelers from the future, and inter-dimensional beings from realms that co-exist with ours.

While much has been written on the sinister, and occasionally deadly, actions of the MIB, practically nothing, at all, has been penned on the subject of their equally bone-chilling companions: the Women in Black. Make no mistake: the WIB are all too real. And they are as ominous and dangerous as their male counterparts. Read more

Men in Black Encounters: A Short Catalog

The Men in Black are a fascinating part of the UFO phenomenon. Gareth J. Medway has compiled a short catalog of MIB encounters.

The following list cannot be complete, but it does I think include all of the well-known cases, and many little-known ones. Obviously, nearly every entry should include the word ‘allegedly’ or ‘supposedly’, but I have generally omitted them as they would get too repetitive, though their presence should be assumed. References are to the particular editions of books that I have consulted – for clarification, John Keel’s Visitors from Space is the 1976 British edition of the work better known by its original title of The Mothman Prophecies. Suggestions for additions and amendments to this catalogue are welcome. Please send to pelicanist@rocketmail.com. Read more
