"I went into the fantastic and came up with the answer," declared
Albert Bender, the former director of the International Flying
Saucer Bureau, one of numerous amateur UFO organizations
prevalent during the '50's and '60's, this one being based in
Connecticut.  "I know what the flying saucers are." Bender
stated; unfortunately, the rest of the world at that time was
still none-the-wiser, for Bender was prevented from passing on
his discoveries by three sinister visitors: three men dressed in
black, known as the 'silencers.'
     It was Bender's intention to publish his remarkable findings
in his own journal, 'SPACE REVIEW', but before committing himself
finally, he felt he ought to try his ideas out on a colleague.
he mailed the report - and a few days later the 'men' came.
     Bender was lying down in his bedroom, having been overtaken
by a spell of dizziness, when he noticed "...three shadowy
figures in the room.  The figures became clearer.  All of them
were dressed in black clothes.  They looked like clergymen, but
wore hats similar to Homburg style.  The faces were not clearly
discernible, for the hats partly hid and shaded them.  Feelings
of fear left me... The eyes of all three figures suddenly lit up
like flashlight bulbs, and all these were focused upon me.  They
seemed to burn into my very soul as the pains above my eyes
became almost unbearable.  It was then I sensed that they were
conveying a message to me by telepathy."
     His visitors confirmed that Bender was right in his
speculations as to the true nature of UFO's - one of them was
carrying Bender's report - and provided additional information.
This so terrified him that he was only too willing to go along
with their demand that he close down his organization and cease
in the publication of his journal.  He was instructed not to tell
the truth to anyone 'on his honor as an American citizen.'
     Years later as a result of the persistent prodding of Gray
Barker and other colleagues Bender provided some additional
details which appeared in Barker's book, 'THEY KNEW TOO MUCH
ABOUT FLYING SAUCERS'.  Bender later published his own work
titled: 'FLYING SAUCERS AND THE THREE MEN,' which reads like a
science fiction thriller complete with descriptions of
interplanetary travel and bases, teleportation and manipulation
of matter, evil powers of darkness, underground cities beneath
Antarctica, grotesque inhuman creatures, etc., along with a
secret human society apparently very actively engaged in occult-
technology as well as other bizarre scenarios.  It has been
suggested by some that the implausibility of Bender's story is
designed to throw serious UFO investigators off the track.
Perhaps Bender was 'allowed' to write a fact-fiction account
which instead of concealing the truth behind UFO's rather tended
to throw ridicule on the whole subject, and in effect serve the
same purpose that censorship would have led to.  It is possible
that the 'three men' fed Bender with certain propagandist
discourses designed for this very purpose.  Then again, perhaps
what Bender wrote was basically true after all?  As they say,
'Truth is often stranger than fiction.'
     Daniel Cohen, in his work: 'MONSTERS, GIANTS AND LITTLE MEN
FROM MARS - AN UNNATURAL HISTORY OF THE AMERICAS' (Doubleday &
Co. Inc.,  Garden City, N.Y  1975), adds some interesting and
valuable insights necessary to help us understand where the 'Men
In Black' originate from.  He says:
     "The shiny new cars associated with 'MIBS' is reminiscent of
the Haitian belief in an evil society of sorcerers called ZOBOPS.
Haitians say that if you see a big new car going along the road
(apparently) without a driver it is under the control of the
ZOBOPS, and you had better not try to interfere with it."
     In his book, 'THE ALIEN WORLD' (MacDonald & Co. Pub.,
London.  1988), Peter Brookesmith gives some more revealing
details concerning these elusive 'Men In Black':
     "The archetypal MIB report runs something like this: shortly
after a UFO sighting, the subject - he may be a witness, he may
be an investigator on the case - receives a visit.  Often it
occurs so soon after the incident that no official report or
media publication has taken place: in short, the visitors should
not, by any normal channels, have gained access to the
information they clearly possess - names, addresses, details of
the incident and about the people involved.
     "The victim is nearly always alone at the time of the visit,
usually in his own home.  His visitors, usually three in number,
arrive in a large black car.  In America it is most often a
prestigious Cadillac, but seldom a recent model.  At the same
time, though old in date, it is likely to be new and immaculate
in appearance and condition, inside and out, even having that
unmistakable 'new car' smell.  If the subject notes the
registration number and checks it, it is invariably found to be a
non-existent number.
     "The visitors themselves are almost always men: only very
rarely is one a woman, and never more than one.  In appearance
they conform pretty close to the stereotyped image of a CIA or
secret service man.  They wear dark suits, dark hats, dark ties,
dark shoes and socks, but white shirts: witnesses often remark on
their clean, immaculate turn-out, all the clothing looking as
though just purchased.
     "The visitors' faces are frequently described as vaguely
foreign, most often 'oriental': slant eyes have been specified in
many accounts.  If not dark skinned, the men are likely to be
heavily tanned.  Sometimes there are bizarre touches..."
     According to Brookesmith, "The MIBS are generally unsmiling
and expressionless, their movements stiff and awkward.  Their
general demeanor is formal, cold, sinister, even menacing: there
is no warmth or friendliness shown, even if their is no outright
hostility either.  Witnesses often hint that they felt their
visitors were not human at all.
     "Some MIBS proffer evidence of identity; indeed, they
sometimes appear in U.S. Air Force or other uniforms.  They
produce identity cards, but since most persons would not know a
genuine CIA or other 'secret' service identity card if they saw
one, this proves nothing.  If they give their names, and the
witness subsequently checks them, they are invariably found to be
false.
     "This interview is sometimes an interrogation, sometimes
simply a warning.  Either way, the visitors, even though they are
asking questions, are clearly well-informed, with access to
restricted information.  They speak in perfect, almost too
perfect, intonation and phrasing, and their language is apt to be
reminiscent of the conventional villains of crime films --
'Again, Mr. Stiff, I fear you are not being honest!', 'Mr. Veich,
it would be unwise of you to mail that report' - immediately
suggesting the unctuous threatener beloved of Hollywood writers.
     "The visit almost invariably concluded with a warning not to
tell anybody about the incident if the subject is a UFO
percipient, or to abandon the investigation if he is an
investigator.  Violence is often threatened.  And the MIBs depart
as suddenly as they came.
     "Most well-informed UFO enthusiasts, if asked to describe a
typical MIB visit, would give some such account as the foregoing.
However, a comparative examination indicates that such 'perfect'
MIB visits seldom occur in practice.  Study of 32 or more
detailed and reliable cases reveals that many details diverge
from the archetypal story: there were no visitors at all in four
cases, only telephone calls; and, of the remainder, only five
involved three men, two involved four, five involved two, while
in the rest there was only a single visitor.
     "Although the appearance or behavior of the visitors does
seem generally to conform to the prototype, it ranges from the
entirely natural to the totally bizarre.  The car, despite the
fact that in America it is by far the commonest means of
transportation, is in fact mentioned in only one third of the
reports; as for the picturesque details - the Cadillac, the
antiquated model, the immaculate condition - these are in
practice very much the exception.  Of 22 American reports, only
nine mention a car; of these only three were Cadillacs, only two
were specified as black and only two as out-of-date models.
     "On the other hand, these archetypal details tend to be more
conspicuous in less reliable cases, particularly those in which
investigators, rather than UFO percipients, are involved.  This
will be relevant when we come to consider possible explanations
for the MIB phenomena."
     In July of 1967, Robert Richardson of Toledo, Ohio, informed
the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO) that he had
collided with a UFO while driving at night.  After coming around
a bend, he was immediately confronted by a strange object
blocking the road.  Unable to halt in time, his car hit the
object, although not very hard.  Immediately on impact, the UFO
vanished.  Police who accompanied Richardson to the scene could
find only his own skid marks, but on a later visit, he found a
small lump of metal which he thought might have come from the
UFO.
     Three days later, at about 11:00 P.M., two men "in their
twenties" appeared at Richardson's home and questioned him for
about 10 minutes.  They did not identify themselves, and
Richardson - to his own later surprise - did not ask who they
were.  They were not unfriendly, gave no warnings, just asked
questions.  He noted that they left in a black 1953 Cadillac -
that is, a 14-year-old model: the number, when checked, was found
not yet to have been issued, proving that whatever or whoever his
visitors were, they were more than likely impostors of some sort.
     A week later, Richardson received a second visit from two
DIFFERENT man, who arrived in a current model Dodge.  They wore
black suits and were dark complexioned: although one spoke
perfect English, the other had an accent, and Richardson felt
there was something vaguely foreign about them.  At first they
seemed to be trying to persuade him that he had not in fact hit
anything at all, but they asked for the piece of metal.  When he
told them it had been passed to APRO for analysis, they
threatened him with the following words: "If you want your wife
to stay as pretty as she is, then you'd better get the metal
back."
     The existence of the metal was known only to Richardson and
his wife, and two senior members of APRO; presumably the only way
the strangers could have learned about it's existence would be by
tapping either his or APRO's telephone.  There was no clear
connection between the two pairs of visitors: but what both had
in common was access to information that was not freely and
publicly available.  And it may be that this is the key to the
MIB mystery.
     In September of 1976, a 58-year-old doctor and 'hypnotist'
by the name of Dr. Herbert Hopkins, was acting as a consultant in
the investigation of an alleged UFO teleportation case in Maine.
One evening, when his wife and children had gone out, leaving him
alone, the telephone rang and a man identifying himself as vice-
president of the New Jersey UFO Research Organization asked if he
might visit Dr. Hopkins to discuss the case.  Dr. Hopkins
agreed - at the time it seemed the natural thing to do.  He went
to the back door to switch on the light so that his visitor could
find his way from the parking lot, and saw the man already
climbing the porch steps.  "I saw no car, and even if he did have
a car, he could not have possibly gotten to my house that quickly
from ANY phone," he told his colleagues later on.
     But at the time he felt no particular surprise as he
admitted his visitor.  The man was dressed in a black suit, with
black hat, tie and shoes, and a white shirt: Hopkins later
recalled: "I thought, he looks like an undertaker."  His clothes
were immaculate: suit unwrinkled, trousers sharply creased.  When
he took off his hat he revealed himself as being completely
hairless, not only bald but without eyebrows or eyelashes.
     According to Dr. Hopkins, not only was his visitor void of
hair, but his skin was dead white, and his lips were bright red.
In the course of their conversation he brushed his lips with his
grey suede gloves, and the doctor was astonished to see that his
lips were smeared and the gloves were stained with lipstick!
     It was only afterwards, however, that Dr. Hopkins reflected
on the strangeness of his visitor's appearance and behavior.  At
the time of the visit Hopkins sat discussing the case in a normal
manner.  When Dr. Hopkins had given his account, his visitor
stated that his host had two coins in his pocket, which was
indeed the case.  He asked the Dr. to put one of the coins in his
hand: he did so.  The stranger asked Dr. Hopkins to watch the
coin, not himself: as he watched, the coin seemed to go out of
focus, and then gradually vanished.  "Neither you nor anyone else
on this plane will ever see that coin again," the visitor told
him.
     An interesting parallel to this can be found in Gary
Kinder's book 'LIGHT YEARS' (Morgan Entekin Books., Atlantic
Monthly Press., N.Y.  1987).  kinder describes alleged UFO
contactee Eduard 'Billy' Meier who claimed to have been visited
by human like beings now resident in the Pleiades.  Meier
attempted to make a coin disappear in front of several witnesses,
a 'trick' that was apparently taught to him by one of his cosmic
visitants.  Placing the coin in his hand, Meier went into a
trance-like state and after staring at the coin for some time he
went into shock, started convulsing, and nearly lost his life as
a result.  The object did not disappear, but was incredibly hot.
Apparently Meier was attempting to open himself up to
electromagnetic forces and channel these through his body in such
a way as to make the coin phase-out into another branch of the
electromagnetic spectrum.  However as one can plainly see what he
attempted to do almost destroyed him, bringing up the idea that
there are certain forces and energies which man was not meant to
interfere with, not only for his own good but for the good of
others.  This might be likened to a child playing around inside a
nuclear generating plant, wondering what buttons to push and so
on.  The government in it's ignorance has on occasion
experimented with unknown forces, uncertain of what their
tamperings might produce.  Some of the scientists on the
Manhattan project to develop the atomic bomb were praying that
the first test explosion would not cause a chain-reaction
igniting the entire atmosphere of the planet.  In other words,
they did not know exactly what was going to happen.  In a similar
manner the lesser publicized yet no less important 'Philadelphia
Experiment' (mentioned elsewhere in these files) produced
horrifying after-effects which the scientists could not have
predicted.  Such are the dangers which may result when created
beings attempt to 'play god' by manipulating energies which the
Creator alone fully understands.
     As for Mr. Hopkins' strange visitor, after talking a while
longer on the topic of UFO's he noticed that the Man In Black's
speech was slowing down.  The 'man' (or who or whatever he was)
rose unsteadily to his feet and said, very slowly, "My energy is
running low - must go now - goodbye."  He walked falteringly to
the door, and descended the outside steps uncertainly, one at a
time.  Dr. Hopkins saw a bright light shining in the driveway,
bluish-white and distinctly brighter than a normal car lamp; at
the time, however, he assumed it must be the stranger's car
although he neither saw nor heard it.
     Later, when Dr. Hopkins' family had returned, they examined
the driveway and found marks that could not have been made by a
car because they were in the center of the driveway, where the
wheels could not have been.  By the next day, even though the
driveway had not been used in the meantime, the marks had
vanished.
     Dr. Hopkins was very much shaken by the visit, particularly
when he reflected on the extraordinary character of the
stranger's conduct.  Not surprisingly, he was so scared that he
willingly complied with his visitor's instruction to erase the
tapes and the hypnotic sessions he was conducting with regard to
his current case, and to have nothing further to do with the
case.
     Strange incidents continued to occur both in Dr. Hopkins'
household and in that of his oldest son.  He concluded that there
was some connection with the extraordinary visit by the man in
black, but he never heard from the visitor again.  As for the
'New Jersey UFO Organization', no such institution exists.
     When Dr. Hopkins' wife and children came home after his
peculiar visit, they found him severely shaken, with the house
lights blazing, seated at a table upon which he had placed a gun.
They confirmed the marks on the driveway, and a series of
disturbances on the telephone that seemed to commence immediately
after the visit.  So it would seem that some real event occurred,
although it's nature remains mysteriously uncertain.
     The concrete or factual nature of the phenomenon was
accepted by the U.S. Air Force, who were concerned that persons
passing themselves off as USAF personnel should be visiting UFO
witnesses.  In February of 1967 Colonel George P. Freeman, a
Pentagon spokesman for the USAF's Project Blue Book, told UFO
investigator John Keel, who had personal friends and
acquaintances in the Pentagon, the following in the course of an
interview:
     "...Mysterious men dressed in Air Force uniforms or bearing
impressive credentials from government agencies have been
'silencing' UFO witnesses.  We have checked a number of these
cases, and these men are not connected with the Air Force in any
way.  We haven't been able to find out anything about these men.
By posing as Air Force officers and government agents they are
committing a federal offense.  We would sure like to catch one.
Unfortunately the trail is always too cold by the time we hear
about these cases.  But we're still trying."
     On September 24, only a few days after Dr. Hopkins had his
frightening encounter with the MIB, his daughter-in-law Maureen
received a telephone call from a man who claimed to know her
husband John, and asked if he and a companion could come and
visit them.
     John met the man at a local fast-food restaurant, and
brought him home with his companion, a woman.  Both appeared to
be in their mid-thirties; they wore curiously old-fashioned
clothes.  The woman looked particularly odd, her breasts were set
low, and when she stood up, it seemed that there was something
wrong with the way that her legs joined onto her hips.  Both
strangers walked with very short steps, leaning forward as
though frightened of falling.
     They accepted Coca-Colas, but did not so much as taste them.
The strangers sat awkwardly together on the couch as the man
asked a number of detailed personal questions: Did John and
Maureen watch television much?  What did they read?  And what did
they talk about?  All the while, the man was pawing and fondling
the female companion, asking John if this was all right and
whether he was doing it correctly.
     John left the room for a moment, and the man tried to
persuade Maureen to set next to him on the couch.  He also asked
her 'how she was made' - and whether she had any nude photographs
of herself.
     Shortly afterwards, the woman stood up and announced that
she wanted to leave.  The man also stood, but made no move to go.
He was between the woman and the door, and it seemed that the
only way she could get to the door was by walking a straight
line, directly through him.  Finally the woman turned to John and
asked, 'Please move him; I can't move him myself.'  Then,
suddenly, the man left, followed by the woman, both walking in
straight lines.  They did not even say goodbye.  If these two
were 'human', they were of such a divergent nature from
mainstream humanity that it was necessary for them to 'imitate'
our human behavior to some extent.  There are other possibilities
however, one being that a 'manufactured form', somewhat human-
like, was utilized.  This might explain some of the strange
aspects of the encounter.
     Peter Brookesmith, in his volume 'THE ALIEN WORLD', gives
some additional details on the MIB phenomena, and the peculiar
characteristics often observed in the strange visitants:
     "...One curious recurrent feature of MIB reports is the
ineptitude of the visitors.  Time and again they are described
as incompetent: if they ARE impersonating human beings, they
don't do it very well; they arouse their victim's suspicions by
improbable behavior, by the way they look or talk, by their
ignorance as much as by their knowledge.  Of course it could be
that the only ones who are spotted as impostors are those who are
not good at their job: and so there may be many more MIB cases
that we never learn about simply because the visitors
successfully convince their victims that there is nothing
suspicious about the visit, or that they will do best to keep
quiet about it.
     "A feature of a great many MIB visits is the instruction to
the witness not to say anything about the visit, and to cease
all activity concerning the case: clearly, we know of these cases
only because such instructions have been disobeyed.  Curiously,
however, no terrible retribution follows, although violence is
frequently threatened if the witness does not comply with
instructions.  Canadian UFO witness Carmen Cuneo, in 1976, was
told by a mysterious visitor to stop repeating his story and
going further into his case, or he would be visited by three men
in black.  'I said, "What's that supposed to mean?"  "Well," he
said, "I could make it hot for you...It may cost you certain
injury."'  A year earlier, Mexican witness Carlos de Los Santos
was stopped on his way to a television interview by not one but
two black limousines, and one of the occupants - dressed in a
black suit and 'Scandinavian' in appearance - told him, 'Look,
boy, if you value your life and your family's too, don't talk any
more about this sighting of yours.'
     "However, there is no reliable instance of such threats ever
having been carried out..."
     Not only UFO witnesses, but certain well-known investigators
themselves have allegedly had encounters with these cosmic
'secret service' agents.  John Keel, for instance, claimed that:
"...on a number of occasions I actually saw the phantom Cadillacs
as advertised, complete with sinister-looking Oriental-like
passengers in black suits."

     Mr. Brookesmith makes a few more observations based on the
over-all phenomena of MIB encounters, and that such visits tend
to vary slightly from case to case, but moreso in the conclusions
drawn by other investigators:
     "...At one extreme we find contactee Woodrow Derenberger
insisting that the 'two men dressed entirely in black' who tried
to silence him were emissaries of the Mafia: at the other end,
theorist David Tansley suggests they are psychic entities,
representatives of the dark forces, seeking to prevent the spread
of true knowledge.  More matter-of-factly Dominick Lucchesi (who
by the way claimed to have had contacts with a human pilot of a
instrument-laden UFO from an underground subtropolis called
'Kabara Khoom', below South America), one of Albert Bender's
friends, held that they emanated from some unknown civilization,
possibly underground, in a remote area of Earth - the Amazon, the
Gobi Desert or the Himalayas.
     "But there is one feature that is common to virtually all
MIB reports, that any theory must account for, and that perhaps
contains the key to the problem.  This is the possession, by the
MIBs, of information that they should not have been able to come
by - information that was restricted, not released to the press,
known perhaps to a few investigators and officials but not to the
public, and sometimes not even to them.  One person who DOES
possess that knowledge is the person visited.  In other words,
the MIBs and their victim share knowledge that perhaps nobody
else possesses (there are also possible indications that some
UFO witnesses who have had later visits from 'Men In Black' may
have been taken aboard the craft, only to have their memories of
the events erased or suppressed through some form of technosis
- Branton).  Add to this the fact that in almost every case the
MIBs appear to the witness when he or she is alone - in Dr.
Hopkins' case, for example, the visitor took care to call when
the wife and children were away from home, and established this
fact by telephone beforehand.  The implication has to be that
some kind of paranormal link connects the MIBs and the persons
visited.
     "To this must be added other features of the phenomena that
are not easily reconciled with everyday reality.  These notorious
black cars, for instance: where are they, when they are not
visiting witnesses?  Where are they garaged, serviced?  Do they
never get involved in breakdowns or accidents?  Can it be that
they materialize from some other plane of existence when they are
needed?"
     Another investigator, Ramona Clark, related the account in
'THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MEN IN BLACK' of another investigator who
was confronted by three MIBs on 3 July, 1969.  "On the window of
the car in which they were riding was the symbol connected with
them and their visitations.  This symbol had a profound
psychological impact upon this man.  I never encountered such
absolute fear in a human being." (Could this have been the 'eye
in the triangle' symbol which, according to John Keel, is a
symbol sometimes used by the 'Men In Black'?)
     That first meeting with the MIB was followed by constant
harassment.  There were mysterious telephone calls; the man's
house was searched.  He began to hear voices and see strange
shapes.  "Black Cadillacs roamed the street in front of his home,
and followed him everywhere he went.  Once he and his family were
almost forced into an accident by an oncoming Cadillac.
Nightmares concerning MIBs plagued his sleep.  It became
impossible for him to rest, his work suffered and he was scared
of losing his job."
     On one occasion a friend confirmed that, while they talked,
there was a strange-looking man walking back and forth in front
of the house.  The man was tall, seemed about 55 years old - and
was dressed entirely in black.
     In the early 1980's Australian 'contactee' Colin Boyd
Cameron told of a strange encounter with the MIB just outside of
Sydney.  One afternoon he observed two aerial lights, one reddish
and one bright white, flying in formation.  The red light
separated and landed in a remote wooded area near a golf course
just outside of the city.  Cameron made his way towards the area
and eventually noticed a large black automobile near the site.
Apparently from his description a large 7 ft. tall 'dark' entity
emerged from the reddish craft and joined two 'men in black' in
the large automobile.  The two men seemed human, but the creature
that entered the car seemed to be physical yet strangely
quasiphysical at the same time, and Cameron could only sense
darkness and evil emanating from the creature.  The 'men' noticed
that they had been spotted, and pointed a rod-like object in
Cameron's direction at which point a wave of absolute terror
gripped him, which he tried to fight off.  He heard or sensed the
two men saying something about the being in the back seat, who
they referred to as "Samanah", and one of the men made a comment
to the other that they should leave before he (Cameron) could get
a close look at the creature, in which case they would be
"finished" or something of the sort.  They also said something
like "Throw the book at him!", referring to Cameron, before they
left.
     The entities left in the car, yet Colin could still make out
the brighter light hovering in the sky in the distance.  A sudden
invisible beam or ray from this craft apparently fell on Cameron
and the craft communicated to Cameron through the beam.  It
"told" him they it was an "Ashtar Command" craft and that it
would protect him from the other negative craft.  If this were
truly the case then why was the "Ashtar" craft allowed to follow
the reddish object, which did nothing to prevent pursuit?
     Colin Cameron later learned that one of the highest-ranking
members of an international Satanic cult lived in that very city,
and he heard through the grapevine that the very night of his
encounter, at midnight, a secret satanic mass was performed
somewhere in the city, and that the date and time of the mass
corresponded with the numbers "666".
     Cameron's communication link with the so-called "Ashtar"
craft continued and the entities on board the craft began feeding
Mr. Cameron with all sorts of "cosmic" information, much of it
very much directed towards his ego.  Eventually Mr. Cameron was
convinced that he was "King David the holy spirit" reincarnated,
and that he was to be a future god-king overseeing the "crystal
chandelier" movement which involved never-ending copulation
between King Cameron and countless cosmic high-priestesses and
out of this a race of gods would be born to rule the universe.
This would certainly be a devastatingly seductive promise to any
man's ego, however the human ego when faced with such egocentric
promises often accepts them regardless of whether they have any
basis in fact or not.  Promises which seduce the human ego have
been extremely effective as weapons when utilized by the enemy of
men's souls.  For instance many Muslims are told that if they go
out and kill an unbelieving infidel or two, or are 'martyred'
while trying to do so - regardless of the innocence of the victim
- they will spend eternity in some imaginary sex garden
surrounded by a harem of beautiful women.  Such fallen
motivations sent many Japanese Kamikaze pilots to a useless death
during World War II.  Unfortunately, many of the fallen rulers of
this world know the power in seducing the ego of their followers
through "religious" manipulation, in order to motivate them to
carry out their desires such as conquering other nations and so
on.  In Colin Cameron's case it appears that such strategies are
utilized by other-worldly despots as well, and from this fact we
can deduce that the so-called "Ashtar" craft which uneventfully
accompanied the red craft, was merely a "decoy".  Maybe in a
sense the Men In Black did succeed in "throwing the book" at him.
     Further details on the strange nature and activities of the
Man In Black can be found in Ivan T. Sanderson's book 'UNINVITED
VISITORS' (London, Neville Spearman.  1969):
     "The new type of 'visitor'--almost invariably dressed in
black--was alleged to spend the entire interview asking
penetrating questions, refusing to answer any himself, giving
out not one iota of information.  These MIB posed in all manner
of guises, all the way from FBI or CIA agents and military
personnel to insurance brokers or electric power or phone
inspectors.  Since impersonating an officer is a grave offense,
local police forces, state police, and newsmen naturally sought
both information and guidance from the proper authorities.  Not
only did all such proper authorities emphatically deny having
prompted any such cloak-and-dagger interviews but, I am told,
expressed themselves as being seriously concerned about these
reports.
     "I recently received a firsthand report from an old friend--
John A. Keel--who until last year was as skeptical a news hound as
I have known.  In substance, this was a detailed account of a
prolonged investigation of a UFO sighting witnessed by two
families.  Both families are solid, and both were previously
skeptical of UFO's.  In due course, a most extraordinary person,
almost seven feet tall, with a small head, dead white skin,
enormous frame but pipe-stem limbs, turned up after dark on a
cold blustery night on the doorstep of one of these families.  He
announced that he was an insurance agent searching for a certain
gentleman who had the same name as the head of the house, because
that man might have inherited a great deal of money.  This weird
individual just appeared out of the night wearing a strange new
hat with a visor and only a light jacket.  He flashed an
official-looking card on entry, but put it away immediately.
Later, when he removed his jacket, he disclosed an official-
looking golden shield on his shirt which he instantly covered
with his hand and removed.
     "He requested exactly forty minutes in which to ask some
questions.  This was granted, and he proceeded to use up exactly
thirty of these minutes with some penetrating questions about
scars on the father's chest, and other details that were not
known even to some of the rest of the family.  He then got up to
leave but spent ten minutes giving the astonished people a long
and rambling conundrum.  He asked the people to try and solve his
riddle.  Then he left.  However, the eldest daughter had become
greatly intrigued by this individual during his 'interrogation'
because his tight pants had ridden up his skinny legs and she had
seen a green wire issuing from his sock and going up his pant's
leg, INTO his flesh at two points which were bridged over with
about an inch of dark scar tissue.  As a result, she ducked out
of the back of the house and observed the person's exit.  There
was no yard lights and it was a dark night, but the girl was able
to see a large black car and it drove off, STILL WITHOUT LIGHTS.
     "The next day, the head of the family, a prominent local
businessman and still a profound skeptic, was called to the phone
and a female voice told him flatly and rather curtly that they
had found the man (of the same name) they were looking for in
California, and then hung up.  Not once during the
'interrogation' were UFO's mentioned nor the family's experiences
with them.  However, the other family who had witnessed the UFO
was also contacted by phone in a long series of most strange, and
in some ways ridiculous manner."
     In his book, 'OPERATION TROJAN HORSE', John Keel himself
describes his own investigations of the MIB phenomena in a way
which seems to suggest that we are at least in part dealing with
the 'secret service' agents of some hidden society which is very
intent on protecting it's 'national security', perhaps a
subterranean society of oriental-appearing people.  This may
explain SOME, though perhaps not all, of the 'Men In Black'
reports.  If we were dealing with an extra planetary society it
might not make sense for such people to go to such great lengths
to protect their domain.  Here is some of what Mr. Keel
discovered during his years of investigation:
     "...Mystery men appeared in flap areas and warned, even
threatened, witnesses into silence.  Some of these men appeared
in Air Force uniforms, and when fragments of these stories
reached the cultists, they howled even more about 'suppression of
the truth.'
     "I have investigated many of these cases myself, and I
quickly discovered, to my amazement, that these 'Air Force
Officers' all looked alike.  They were slight, olive-skinned men
with Oriental eyes and high cheekbones.  Some witnesses said they
looked like Italians; others thought they were Burmese or (Far-
eastern) 'Indian'.  I reported this to the Pentagon and found
that other cases had been turning up, and that military
intelligence, AND EVEN THE FBI, were involved in investigating
some of them.  Early in 1967, I published a newspaper feature on
these Air Force impersonators, and it was reprinted around the
world.
     "'Three "men in black" have repeatedly driven up to the
homes of witnesses in their shiny black Cadillacs to frighten the
people into silence.  In nearly every case, these men have been
described as short, dark-skinned Orientals.  For years many of
the UFO cultists have believed that the government was tapping
their phones and censoring their mail (much UFO mail seems to go
astray).  Recently New York's District Attorney Frank Hogan
revealed that it takes six men to maintain a full surveillance on
a single phone.  Phone tapping is a very expensive procedure, and
we can seriously question the need or justification for the Air
Force and CIA maintaining taps on the phones of teen-agers and
little old ladies involved in UFO research.  But if the phenomena
itself is electromagnetic in nature, it might be able to
manipulate our telephone systems just as it seems to manipulate
automobile ignition systems.
     "The real truth is that the UFO cultists have been played
for suckers for years, not by the government, but by the
phenomenon.  Mischievous, even malicious rumors and nonsense have
been passed on to them through the contactees, and they have
accepted this rubbish as fact... Situations have been engineered
by the phenomena to make the UFO cultists suspicious of the
government and of one another.  The in-fighting between the
various groups deserves special study by itself.  Many cultists
are living in genuine terror.  Some no longer trust their own
families.  Several have suffered nervous breakdowns.
     "...By early 1967," Keel continues, "I had decided that the
evidence for the extraterrestrial origin was purely
circumstantial, and I began to hint in print that perhaps a more
complex situation was involved.  To my astonishment, my rejection
of the outer-space hypothesis focused the wrath and suspicion of
the UFO cultists on me.  Rumors were circulated nationwide that I
was a CIA agent.  Later, contactees began to whisper to local UFO
investigators that the real John Keel had been kidnapped by a
flying saucer and that a cunning android who looked just like me
had been substituted in my place.  Incredible though it may
sound, this was taken very seriously, and later even some of my
more rational correspondents admitted that they carefully
compared the signatures on my current letters with the prerumor
letters they had received..."
     There are some indications that the 'Men In Black' are
actually emissaries of a high-tech 'secret society' existing in
some deep recess of the planet, who closely monitor and attempt
to manipulate conditions in the outer world.  Whether they are
part of the ancient 'serpent cult' described by William Cooper,
which he alleges is the power working behind the Illuminati, or
whether the 'Men In Black' hail from some other unknown source is
a matter of debate.
