Who are the men in black?
Have you heard the story about the men in black? And before you answer no i don't mean the movie men in black im talking about the “the agent of suppression” that some believe to be beings from another planet in disguise. This originates back in the 1950’s-1960’s who remains a mystery. Some claim that all of this really started in the 1940 to what people know as the Roswell incident. This is what brought upon the idea of government conspiracies. There have been over 30 reports of these mysterious people in suits most after sightings of UFOs. According to UFOs witnesses and investigators and reporters they all share one thing in common: they were all threatened and harassed by these mysterious men if they are even that to maintain silence about their experience. The most known description is three men in black suits and hats that traveled in black cars that were American made. Some believe that these men worked for a secret organization trying to cover up the fact that UFOs even exist, but is that the case?
As this grew people started to believe these were not humans at all no, that they were aliens themselves. We’re going to look at some of the cases of sightings of the men in black, starting in 1952 with former aircraft operator Albert k bender who later turned author after his experience with the men in black. Who set up an organization to investigate the sighting of UFOs called the international flying saucers bureau. It was going smoothly at first with the organization publishing a Weekly newsletter that reached to all the believers all over the nation. Then it started to go downhill after that in the early 1953 when bender just randomly shut down the whole thing. Leaving one more newsletter with a weird unlikely tone warning people who investigate the strange phonemes to do so cautiously. Bender colleges all notice his weird change in his behavior.
Stating that he now seemed just agitated and nervous as if something happened as if something so bad scared him to just drop the whole thing. He would not sleep or eat properly after shutting down his operation. He would often suffer from major headaches. When asked he would never go into details about why he randomly shut down his whole thing. Bender would go on to keep up this silence until 1962 where he explained that he was visited by three men in black suits who had come out of nowhere as if they just appeared in thin air. Warning him to not continue his investigation into these sightings. Who were these men and why were they warning him to stop if there was nothing to hide right?

We now go to 1976 where well respected physician Dr. Herbert Hopkins had his own report of his experience with the men in black where he was home alone studying and investigating sightings of UFO that had happened a couple months beforehand, at his house is old orchard beach, maine on the night of the 11th of september. When suddenly his phone rang when he answered he heard the voice of a man who claims to be representative of the New Jersey UFO Organization which turned out to not be what it seemed. Where the person on the phone asked Herbert if being home alone was weird right? Then to add on to the weirdness go’s on to ask if he can come by to talk to dr hebert about the UFO sighting case he was working on. Not knowing this wasn't what he thought he agreed. Telling Hopkins he would be there shortly. Hopkins, not expecting what was about to happen next, gets up to turn off the porch lights and finds the man already coming up the steps. Unease by this He states that even if the call was made by the neighbors phone there's no possible way for the man to already be coming up the stairs. Feeling bad about the whole situation he was still curious of what the man wanted to talk about or say so he opened the doors for the man. But when he opens the door he is struck by the strangers appearance. Dr Hebert described him as a tall skinny man wearing a black suit with pale smooth skin. Hopkins invites the man in and when he took his hat off his head was weirdly bald as if it never even had grown hair in the first place. The man spoke with no emotion in his voice, evenly spacing his words Just wait it gets even weirder the man remained motionless. The only thing moving in his mouth but when he did it was to wipe his mouth with the back of his hand which left a red smeer around his cheeks. Then only did Dr Herbert figure out that the man was wearing lipstick. Then to add after realizing that the man's mouth wasn’t normal it was a perfect slit. Then the man made a strange request that Hopkins remove the bag of coins he had in his pocket. How'd he know he had remained a mystery. Hopkins believed that this man was reading his mind that night. But he did as he was asked, already scared of the situation. Hopkins held the coin flat in the palm of his hands seconds later the man in black turned a copper coin into a silver coin. Then it became blurry as if it was a camera out of focus, Then right after it just disappears out of thin air. The man then threatened Hopkins saying if he doesn't stop his investigation that he would end up just like the coin did. As he said this his words began to slow down and he started to slur his words. He then tells Hopkins that his energy is running low and he has to go. The Dr showed him the door the man grasps onto the stair railing as if he was hurt or crippled turning out of sight then Hopkins reports a flash of light coming from the man's direction then nothing but silence. Later that night Hopkins' family returned to find him in the living room staring into space with every house light turned on.
I now take you to the year 2012 where a video surfaced on the internet. The video itself was taken four years before in 2008. Taken from a CCTV camera of a hotel close to Niagara Falls in Ontario, Canada where an employee reported UFO activities happening above the Niagara waters. This leads us to the next encounter of the strange men in black where two men walking exactly the same way into the hotel building not only that but wearing the same clothes are all caught on camera. Having the same body builds the same face structure as if they were identical twins. Witnesses from the hotel all say they were tall and very thin. Having the same features as Hopkins describes in his report. The people who came into contact with these men had the same feeling of exposure as if their minds were being read as if they had no secrets to hide from them. They didn't hide why they were there, they were asking to speak to the young man who had seen the UFO two weeks earlier before. Thankfully the young man was not working that night when the men came to look for him. When they failed to find the young man, they started to ask the other employees about any other UFO or other strange activities that happened. They weren't happy or upset with the answer given by the other employees as if they were just gathering intel. After getting what they asked for they just left to never be seen again.
Other experiences report that there were no odd behaviors from the men so what do we believe? Are they real? Are they from this world? If so, who are these men and why are they trying so hard to hide UFOs? After all these experiences there is little to no evidence that they even exist. Some think the video was a marketing tool for the movies franchise men in black but that wouldn’t explain the 2008 date stamp. These sightings don't only live in North America but there are countless reports all over the globe such as Europe and Australia. These reports outdated even the 1940s during the Middle Ages people have said that there were men who wore black robes and hats. Every experience reports the same description leading others to believe that they were all just manifestations of just one man. If that is the case, then who is this man and why is he trying to hide UFOs. Whether they are real or not they are known to be not from this planet. So, if you are lucky enough to see a UFO just be cautious of what comes with it and whatever you do if you hear a knock don’t open it.
We look at another case that dates back to June 21st, 1947, near the east coast in Maury Island, Washington also known as the world's dirtiest hoax, or was it? with eyewitness Harold dahl where he was on a conversion mission where dahl was with his 15-year-old son and his dog. Dahl states that he was collecting logs When all of a sudden, he saw six donut like objects floating 1,500 feet above his boat shortly followed by a shower of falling metallic debris which hit Charles dahl son and taking the life of their family dog. Research says Dahl was able to take pictures of these mysterious objects which he soon showed his supervisor, Fred crisman. Suspicious of the whole thing went himself to figure it out. As luck would have it he saw a strange aircraft that looked exactly like the pictures he had been shown by dahl, The following day dahl reports that he was visited by the men in black where they would find their way to the local dinner, Where the strange man was able to tell dahl every last detail of what happened that night. The question is how? How did the man know was he reading his mind? Or did he have something to do with those strange events? The man told Dahl that if he was to ever open his mouth about his experience something terrible would happen to him. The government deemed it a dirty hoax. But the question out of all these sightings so far is who is this man and how is he connected to these events? Is the government on it? If so, why are they trying to hide it? There are so many questions tied to these events and the answers only lie with the witnesses themselves and the credibility to their characters as people. This still leaves the question of who are the men in black? Are they CIA, FBI, some other sort of secret government agency? Or are they beings not from this world?
