Men In Black (not the movie!)
Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2012 11:07 pm
The Men in Black I am talking about are the strange and intimidating men who, in many accounts from UFO witnesses, show up to interrogate and harass them and order them to keep silent about what they've seen.
Any thoughts on the MIB? Who they are, who they may be working for?
I will preface my own thoughts by saying - yes, I know, you find some crazy and deluded people in UFO circles. But when one actually starts to read some of the matieral that UFO researchers put out and starts reading accounts of UFO witnesses and the people who have interviewed them, you find out that there are also many, many sensible, ordinary and down-to-earth people who claim to have seen something strange. Many are people who were either non-believers in UFOs - until they saw one for themselves - or were people who paid no attention/gave no thought to the phenomena. Many have been frightened and confused by their experience and are utterly convinced that they have seen and/or experienced something strange.
Now as to what these people may be seeing...that's not the subject of this post, so i'm not going to talk too much about it. I'm open to the idea of there being life on other planets, in fact I think it's quite probable. I'm open to the idea that perhaps some UFOs *may* be aircraft from intelligent life from other worlds.
I also think it's possible that a lot of sightings could alternatively be government or military aircraft, of which the general public is not aware.
And this is where the MIB come in.
Many UFO witnessess report, in the wake of their encounter, being approached/contacted by men, usually two in number, who not only behave quite strangely but are usually intimidating and make veiled and sometimes clear threats. Their purpose is to interrogate witnesses about what they have seen and bully them into silence, by implying that if they tell anyone of what they have experienced, the consequences will not be pleasant. A lot of people emerge from these encounters genuinely frightened and intimidated. Another factor is that the men usually seem to know an awful lot about what the witnesses have experienced and sometimes have been aware of quite personal information about the witnesses themselves.
A lot of people reporting MIB encounters are not cranks, they are people who are confused about what they've seen and/or experienced. Because reports of the MIB are so prevalent, I believe that people really are approaching UFO witnesses and intimidating them.
Jenny Randles, a British UFO researcher, believes that the MIB are most likely working for intelligence agencies. I think that is the most likely explanation as well. After all, would anyone really put it past an agency like the CIA (or the equivalents in other countries) to send people around to harass and intimidate people if they've seen something they don't want the general public to know about? If a lot of sightings are in fact top-secret military or government aircraft, then I don't think it's unreasonable to think that intelligence agencies and perhaps people within governments would not be adverse to bullying the witnesses into silence.
Of course, that could also apply to the idea that the UFOs are genuine alien aircraft...some might say that intelligence agencies don't want people to find out the truth about aliens.
But what these sightings actually are isn't the point, it's who and what the MIB are. My opinion is that they are genuine and I think it's likely that they work for intelligence agencies. It would explain why they often seem so powerful, how they have access to sometimes personal information, etc.
