The Real Story of the Men in Black: A History of Horror

Make mention of the Men in Black to most people and doing so will likely provoke images of Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. After all the trilogy of Men in Black movies were phenomenally successful and brought the subject to a huge, worldwide audience. Outside of Ufology, most people assume that the Men in Black were the creations of Hollywood. This, however, is very wide of the mark: in reality, the movies were based upon a short-lived comic book series that was created by Lowell Cunningham in 1990. Most important of all, the comic-books were based on real-life encounters with the MIB – which date back decades. In fact, in the movies, the characters portrayed by Jones and Smith are known as J and K. There is a good reason for that: they are the initials of the late John Keel, who wrote the acclaimed book, The Mothman Prophecies and who spent a lot of time pursuing MIB encounters, and particularly so in the 1960s and 1970s. In that sense, the producers of the Men in Black movies and comic-books were paying homage to Keel. Now let’s get to the heart of the matter, namely, the real Men in Black; not those of Hollywood. Who are they? Where do they come from? What is their agenda? If there is one thing we can say for sure when it comes to the matter of the MIB, it’s that they are the ultimate Controllers – they threaten, intimidate and terrify those into silence who they visit. Let’s see how the mystery all began.

It was in the early 1950s that a man named Albert Bender created a UFO research group called the International Flying Saucer Bureau. The group was based out of Bender’s home town of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Bender was someone who quickly became enthused by the UFO phenomenon when it kicked off in earnest in the summer of 1947, with Kenneth Arnold’s acclaimed and now-legendary sighting of a squadron of UFOs over the Cascade Mountains. The world was changed and so was Albert Bender. As a result of the establishment of the IFSB, Albert Bender found himself inundated with letters, phone calls and inquiries from people wanting information on the UFO enigma. Bender was pleased to oblige and he created his very own newsletter – Space Review. It was a publication which was regularly filled with worldwide accounts of UFO activity, alien encounters, and sightings of flying saucers. And on the worldwide issue, it’s worth noting that so popular was Bender’s group and magazine, he found himself inundated with letters from all around the planet: communications poured in from the U.K., from Australia, from South America, and even a few from Russia. Bender was on a definitive high: the little journal that he typed up from his attic room in the old house in which he lived, was suddenly a major part of Ufology. It’s most curious, then, that in the latter part of 1953, Bender quickly shot down the International Flying Saucer Bureau, and he ceased the publication of Space Review. Many of Bender’s followers suspected that something was wrong, as in very wrong. They were right on the money, as it happens.

‘Alien Bodies’ Ufologist Dismisses Analysis, Legal Threat—’I’m Not Worried’

Controversial UFO enthusiast Jaime Maussan dismissed claims made in a criminal complaint after two small, mummified specimens were unveiled to Mexican lawmakers during an event on extraterrestrial life.

Maussan, 70, a Mexican sports journalist-turned UFO enthusiast, presented the bodies in display cases earlier this week at the Mexican Congress and claimed they were not related to any life on Earth.

The congressional hearing, which was the first of its kind in Mexico, ignited curiosity in addition to condemnation by scientists.

Maussan claimed the bodies were recovered close to the ancient Nazca Lines in southern Peru and were carbon-dated by Mexico’s National Autonomous University to be about 1,000 years old.

He was also involved in the spread of the Nazca mummy story in 2017, although a 2021 paper published in the International Journal of Biology and Biomedicine that analyzed the remains and said, “the head of the small body is largely made of a deteriorated llama braincase and other unidentified bones.”

Elsa Tomasto, a Peruvian bioanthropologist, was frustrated that Maussan’s claims were given a large platform and cited several other apparent finds that were later found to be fraudulent.

He told Reuters: “What we said before still stands, they are presenting the same rehash as always and if there are people that keep believing, what can we do? It is so crass and so simple that there is nothing more to add.”

NASA Report: UFOs Are a Threat to US Airspace, Administrator Nelson Says Aliens ‘Out There’

According to a recent NASA report, there are still unidentified objects in our skies that might pose a threat to US airspace. NASA has also named a new head for UFO research to investigate further, The Telegraph reported on Thursday.

NASA’s Search for Life, Report States UFOs Threat to US Airspace, NASA Administrator Nelson Remains Hopeful

NASA is actively searching for indications of life, whether it existed in the past or exists currently, according to Sky News. Bill Nelson, NASA administrator, is optimistic that they will identify another planet suitable for life within the vast universe.

“The NASA independent study team did not find any evidence the UAPs have an extraterrestrial origin, but we don’t know what these UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) are,” Nelson said. “The mission of NASA is to find out the unknown. We don’t know what the UAP is, but we are going to try to find out.”

The US Space Agency revealed findings from a 15-month investigation into UAPs. However, the report cautions that the available data doesn’t allow for “definitive scientific conclusions.”

An independent team of 16 researchers shared their early findings in May, News 18 reported. They stated that most UFOs can be attributed to natural occurrences. These include common things like airplanes, balloons, drones, weather patterns, or even problems with the recording equipment.

The report dismissed the 2015 “Go Fast” video captured by a Navy fighter jet pilot aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt. In this video, the pilot described an object zipping across the ocean at great speed. The investigative team determined that there was no evidence of a propulsion system. It suggested that the object was likely drifting with the wind rather than exhibiting extraordinary propulsion capabilities.

However, the report’s authors cautioned that certain UFOs still defy explanation. They emphasized the need to leverage satellite data and crowd participation to delve deeper into these enigmatic occurrences.

NASA publishes findings of a long-awaited study on UFOs today

NASA released the findings of its highly-anticipated study today, scrutinizing more than 800 sightings of UFOs across three decades — with ‘inconclusive’ results for those who ‘want to believe.’

‘To date, in the peer-reviewed scientific literature, there is no conclusive evidence suggesting an extraterrestrial origin for UAP,’ NASA’s panel of experts wrote in their new report which was, in part, designed to recommend future investigative avenues.

The US space agency announced last year that it would review evidence regarding unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), more commonly known as unidentified flying objects (UFOs), with the goal of advising how NASA tools could aid the search.

The panel defined UAP as sightings ‘that cannot be identified as aircraft or known natural phenomena from a scientific perspective.’

But NASA’s team elaborated their scientific view that the bar for proof of extraterrestrial visitors to Earth must be kept high.

‘In the search for life beyond Earth, extraterrestrial life itself must be the hypothesis of last resort,’ the panel wrote, ‘the answer we turn to only after ruling out all other possibilities.’ 

‘As Sherlock Holmes said, ‘Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.”

‘Alien corpses’ unveiled at Mexico’s Congress as UFO speculation intensifies

An “alien” discovery was on the docket in Mexico’s Congress on Tuesday, as “non-human” corpses were unveiled to politicians at a public hearing.

Prominent Mexican UFO expert and journalist Jaime Maussan presented two small mummified corpses he testified under oath were not part of “our terrestrial evolution.”

The hearing discussed alleged evidence of extraterrestrial life, including the unearthing of three-fingered humanoid corpses with elongated heads as well as various UFO sightings.

The purported alien cadavers were retrieved from Cusco, Peru. “These aren’t beings that were found after a UFO wreckage,” Maussan said. “They were found in diatom mines and were later fossilized.”

Maussan claimed that the bodies were examined by scientists at the National Autonomous University of Mexico who used radiocarbon dating to conclude that the corpses were approximately 1,000 years old. Radiocarbon dating is not a perfect science, however, as results can be skewed by several factors including contamination.

It was also found that 30% of the specimens’ DNA was “unknown,” while both corpses were said to have implants of rare metals like osmium, with one body containing eggs inside, according to the experts who testified.

Maussan has made similar claims in the past. In 2017, the UFO expert was involved in a hoax surrounding five mummified corpses found in Peru. Similar to the recent Peruvian discovery, these corpses were three-fingered and humanoid with elongated heads and turned out to be human children.

This prompted professor Konstantin Korotkov from the Russian National Research University to remark, “Those involved in ‘scientifically’ examining the mummies seem to believe they are ancient aliens, but they are suffering from the wish to believe.”

Maussan has worked at some of Mexico’s most recognized news outlets, including 60 Minutes and TV Azteca, and is the subject of the documentary Maussan’s UFO Files.

They Knew What They Had Seen

The thing is: If aliens are real and have made contact, then nothing else matters. Everything we could possibly know about the world goes out the window. Their existence would instantly obliterate history, politics—all that once mattered would evaporate into the narcissism of small differences. At least, that’s what they represent to believers—a clean slate, a starting over, where all of human history is merely prelude, and things like race and class and creed become irrelevant.

After the modern UFO age began with Kenneth Arnold’s sighting of nine metallic craft flying near Mount Rainier in 1947, there were various individuals who asserted that they had made contact with extraterrestrials. One was George Adamski, whose 1953 book Flying Saucers Have Landed detailed a meeting in the California deserts with a man from Venus who had long, sandy-brown hair and a brown suit, and who telepathically communicated a concern about mankind’s nuclear weapons. Other contactees quickly followed suit, many of them making the same claim that the Venutians wanted us to stop making nuclear weapons. For a secular atomic age, writers who met such extraterrestrials placed them in the same role as God: bearing an unimpeachable command that transcended politics and nation and had to be obeyed.

But it was Betty and Barney Hill, an interracial couple living in New Hampshire, whose strange experience on the night of Sept. 19, 1961, would become the first truly credible story of an alien encounter. Driving south on Route 3 through the White Mountains, they saw a light in the sky sometime after 10 p.m. They followed it for a while, stopping to get a better look. They continued driving, getting home around 5 a.m. They shouldn’t—given the trip’s distance—have been home any later than 2:00, but neither could explain the lost time. Though at first reluctant to talk about what happened, Betty slowly began to tell people that they had seen an alien spaceship. Eventually, the Hills underwent hypnosis with the aid of psychiatrist Benjamin Simon, and would come to believe that at some point they had made contact, been taken aboard the alien ship, and had separately been probed and examined by their captors before being released.

Nearly everything we know—or think we know—about alien abductions begins with Betty and Barney Hill. They were the first people to claim that they had been abducted by aliens, the first people to describe aliens as not looking like science fiction’s men in jumpsuits (they were, the Hills reported, short, with gray skin), and the first to be widely believed.

UFOs Have Broken Into America’s Backyard And No One Is Effectively Coordinating Any Response 

It was February 2023.

The month began with a Chinese surveillance balloon that both startled and puzzled politicians and civilians alike.

It was symbolic – the Chinese had broken into America’s own backyard. 

Cue, the political and media pressure – it was swiftly shot down when clear from built-up areas. 

Then in quick succession, three smaller unknown objects were taken down, thought to be a potential threat to air traffic. 

All were shot down at the command of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). 

The events were a huge wake up call – not only were the Chinese operating in America’s back yard, but so were unknowns.

Their origin? Unknown. Their operators? Unknown.

When it comes to 21st-century warfare, America, as the world’s dominant superpower, can deal with most potential global threats. From under the ocean to within Earth’s atmosphere, there is nowhere it cannot project its immense power.

That is with the exception of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) – objects which appear to act with impunity without any consequence over military ranges. Like a soccer goal left wide open with the goalkeeper nowhere to be seen, these occurrences are like loud open invitations to unknowns and enemies to score a goal against the most sophisticated and heavily-funded defense apparatus on the planet.

The Pentagon’s UFO office is sending cryptic ‘alien’ messages

Last week, the Pentagon’s new UFO office, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), unveiled its long-awaited website. Tucked among previously-released graphics, transcripts and videos is an important new document outlining the office’s mission and objectives.

Within hours of the site’s launch, eagle-eyed sleuths noticed that an image of a spherical object, divided into quarters, appears on the corners of the “Mission Overview” document. Further analysis determined that the image is a stock photo titled “alien technology in a metallic ball.”

While such “alien” and “metallic ball” references might otherwise be chalked up to a crude prank, closer analysis suggests that there is more than meets the eye.

According to AARO director Seán Kirkpatrick, the most common observations claimed in the 800 reports received by his office as of late May are of “spheres,” 3 to 13 feet in diameter and “white, silver, [or] translucent” in color. Two videos and two images of objects fitting this description, all recorded by U.S. servicemembers, have emerged in recent years.

US F-22 Raptor ‘Shot Down’ A UFO & Not A Chinese Spy Balloon Over Northern Canada In Feb – Reports

In an unexpected twist, a new report suggests that an object initially believed to be a Chinese balloon, downed by an F-22 fighter jet in February over the Yukon territory in northern Canada, may belong to the category of ‘unidentified anomalous phenomena’ or ‘UAP.’ 

The UAP is the official term used for what is more commonly referred to as “unidentified flying objects” or “UFOs.” In the last few months, the Pentagon and American lawmakers have accelerated their investigations into what they call ‘unidentified anomalous phenomena’ or ‘UAP. 

On September 6, CTV News, based in Canada, reported that in February, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau received a classified memo on “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).” 

Based on information obtained through a freedom of information request, the report revealed that an unidentified object was detected and shot down over northern Canada’s Yukon Territory on February 11.

The incident occurred shortly after an F-22 aircraft downed a Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina on February 4.

H.G. Wells’ Predictive Programming Revolution: UFOs, Drugs, And The Great Reset

Just when you thought that every possible type of propaganda has already been unleashed onto the world, Congressional hearings on aliens entered the scene in 2023

Of course, the world has been awash in UFO-themed narratives within pop culture since the earliest days of the Cold War.

Even Laurence Rockefeller himself (4th grandson of John D. Rockefeller) got into the game in 1992 by creating the Disclosure Project and bankrolling a bodybuilding military physician named Stephen Greer while recruiting the Clintons and John Podesta into the cause of ‘UFO Truth’… but it is only in the past few years that official Congressional, Pentagon, and NASA investigations “into off world vehicles not made on this earth“, Area 51, Roswell crashes, and crop circles have become part of the official mainstream discourse of the nation.

The Pentagon — not known for any love of transparency (having failed literally six audits since 2001 and losing over $21 trillion according to some estimates) — has deemed it fitting to admit publicly that “off world vehicles not made on this earth” have been in the possession of government agencies for decades.

Former intelligence officials like David Grusch, and Cmdr. David Fravor have been hailed as courageous whistleblowers for admitting that the US military has been talking to aliens since an interstellar ship traveling faster than the speed of light crashed into a desert in Roswell in the 1947. According to Grusch and company, these alien beings are such bad pilots that numerous crashes have occurred over the past 70 years resulting in dozens of crashes and clashes with US fighter pilots.

When asked by Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla, how these secret government programs receive funding, Grusch stated that they are “above congressional oversight” and funded by “misappropriation of funds.” So not only do we now know the truth about aliens, but we finally know where the missing $20 trillion of Pentagon spending went… so we can stop thinking about that too.

One thing that Grusch and other ‘whistleblowers’ feel confident in proclaiming: These alien beings are not necessarily friendly at all, and humanity should be scared.

As fellow whistleblower Cmdr. David Fravor stated during the hearings: “If you had one, you captured one, you reversed-engineered it and got it to work, you’re talking something that can go into space, go someplace, drop down in a matter of seconds, do whatever it wants and then leave and there’s nothing we can do about it. Nothing.”
