MIB, What Are They?

Some of us have heard the term MIB. We know that this stands for Men In Black. There is even a movie by this name, it stars Will Smith, and Tommy Lee Jones. But that is not what we are going to talk about here. We are talking about the "myth" of these men, and sometimes woman dressed in black and showing up after UFO sightings. They are known to question those people who have seen UFO's and are said to interrogate and harass these individuals. They threaten people into not saying anything about their experiences. Like they want to keep these sightings quiet. So are they associated with the UFO's or are they hunting down information about the UFO's. Research shows evidence that this all started back around 1976 in England. It is not originally and American phenomenon.But I have found other research that shows sightings back in 1947.

If questioned, these men will say they are repairmen, salesman, or representatives from official groups. They are mysterious, speak in low, monotone voices and are always dressed all in black. The American records state that they usually drive Lincolns or Buick's. But the English records state that they drive Jaguars. I guess if you are going to be mysterious, you might as well drive a nice car. It kind of goes along with the dressing in black and nicely.

So, with many reports you may be asking is this real or just folklore. The stories have been floating around since the 1970's. So how do we know what is the truth and what is not. There is much documentation, but that doesn't always prove truth. With so many stories, from so many different people in so many different places, it makes one think that this may actually be real. These stories parallel each other.

I would say that ultimately it is your choice whether to believe it or not. You can take things at face value and believe that these people exist, and ultimately aliens and UFO's too. Or you can question all the truth in it. You would have to take it all as a package, the UFO's, aliens and Men in Black. So, where do you stand? Personally, I do not take it as truth. But that is my opinion.
