I wonder, how do they know whether or not you've had a UFO sighting, an alien encounter, or if you've been abduction? And how do they find out so fast? Yes, sometimes these eyewitnesses blab to others, but there are many that keep quiet, who are too freaked-out to attract attention to themselves. Something or someone scared them senseless. The UFO investigators have a hard enough time finding these people, so it makes you wonder how quickly the MIBs locate these individuals, likewise they and know all about their specific cases and details of their personal lives in advance.
Are they psychic or telepathic? Or do they have some kind of advance spy technology that allows them to keep an eye on anyone and everyone that inadvertently experience these extracurricular events? Furthermore, if these are simply government agents, is it plausible that they wield such psychic abilities enabling them to zero in on witnesses of these sightings or victims of alien abductions? It just doesn't add up. Clearly, extraterrestrials would possess these advanced abilities, but does that mean that these MIBs are aliens -- or even alien/human hybrids? Let's not discount the equation that psychic abilities are innate in human beings, because I emphatically believe that all humans have psychic potential, but most of us just don't use it as we should. So how could we expect government agents to be this acutely psychic or telepathic? Or as I suggested, they could have advanced spy technology. All of these possibilities are just speculation, and there is no absolute proof one way or the other.
Precisely how are victims being harassed by these venomous visitors?
There have been reports that these ominous strangers have hypnotic abilities, can read people's minds, can subdue their victim into a tranquil state and convince them to discuss everything about their incident. And then afterwards, when the witnesses snapped out of it, like coming out of a trance, they couldn't figure out why they were so receptive to these dark strangers whom they would normally not even allow into their houses. Other reports have suggested that they can cause hallucinations or enter their victim's dreams. Some reports suggest they have tapped the phone lines of victims and intercepted their mail, and even physically assaulted them or used firearms against them, if not to kill them then to frighten them. Other claims declared that witnesses were captured and taken to mysterious locations where they were bodily threatened and forced to keep silent about their UFO encounter or such phenomena. Alright, folks, are these actual accounts or just wild stories? The lines of fact and fiction are often blurred in these cases.
Exactly who or what are these strange dark-suited strangers who stealthily scurrying around at large, harassing eyewitnesses of extraterrestrial phenomena? Where do they come from and what is their origin?
We can't be sure that they are completely human, nor do we know whether or not their origin is alien. They could literally be secret agents working for the government, or even for the extraterrestrials.
There is the possibility that the extraterrestrials have recruited (if not abducted) specific human beings, those with a certain aptitude and character their mission would require. Although it's possible some could be willing abductees, it would be more likely that they were convinced were brainwashed. Then they would be trained in psychic abilities and other areas of expertise (such as cruel harassment). They would need to have little or no conscience, be able to treat victims as objects and not living beings, and they would have no real feelings, except the feeling of pleasure in frightening and tormenting others. These traits would seem to be necessary, because if they had any misgivings or regrets in the manner in which they treat people, they would obviously make lousy agents and would be washed out very soon. But once they're training is completed, they would be sent back in our midst to do their masters' dirty work. Also they could have been trained in operating alien spy technology.
The other possibility is that these ominous Dark Intruders are alien/human hybrids -- which I disbelieve, because it makes me frown horribly into a nasty grimace, probably imitating some nasty alien's face. But let's speculate, and entertain this daring yet ludicrous notion. A typical Man in Black has the best of both world, Earth and Whateverworld (a good enough moniker since we don't know where they come from), so they can act and look and talk human but internally be totally alien. But how would these hybrids come to exist? There have been rumors that women were abducted and artificially inseminated with alien seed. Then she would give birth to a typical hybrid into the world. Perhaps this is how the sinister extraterrestrials create Men in Black, ominous protectors of their alien masters' very presence in this world and all of their secret agendas. Hmmm. Sounds like science fiction.
It's quite possible that there is a definite connection between MIBs and the mysterious Majestic 12, sanctioned by the US government of course. This was an ultra top-secret group of scientists and military personnel formed in 1947, by the order of President Harry S. Truman. Its initial task was to investigate the UFO crash near Roswell, New Mexico, or any other UFO and extraterrestrial phenomena for years to come. Although part of their job was to investigate and cover up UFO events, Majestic 12 itself was covered up, since the government denies its existence. Considering an important aspect of their job was to hide the truth about UFOs to the public, it makes a lot of sense that they could have been behind the formation of Men in Black, whose mission was to silence UFO eyewitnesses. So essentially, this would mean that Majestic 12 and the Men in Black are one and the same. But this is just another theory, but pretty plausible, if you ask me.
Victims have relayed their descriptions of these mysterious intimidators, many of which are very similar, although there are some inconsistencies. What these sinister strangers have in common are the black suits, black automobiles, arriving in threes, and their aggressiveness and coercive nature. Some of the inconsistencies are that some victims claimed they have racial appearances, such as East Indian or Oriental; some say they speak with foreign accents, and others say their English is plain yet awkward; others report that they appear to have brown or tanned skin, yet others say they have pasty white skin. So, what is really going on here, considering all these varying discrepancies? This could either mean the victims are saying what they want to see, or fabricating what they see, are entirely making their stories up. Or it could mean these Men in Black come from different backgrounds and appear differently to different people. Either way, I believe it's all part of the government cover-up.
Also some people have suggested that the MIBs could be "paraphysical" or "interdimensional" beings. Essentially this would simply mean that they come from a totally different dimension from that of our own, and that they travel through a space-time continuum and then step through a mysterious portal into our earthly dimension. But since they drive black Cadillacs and such, they would drive through such a vortex, and there are some quite vague reports that say these vehicles have appeared from nowhere and then just as mysteriously disappeared back into nowhere, or so some victims claimed. Yikes! I think someone's been watching the Sci-Fi Channel a little too much!
Alright, folks, here's the rundown; I'll give you several outrageous theories on who the MIBs might be:
1. Pretenders or practical jokers masquerading as the so-called MIBs, whether supported by the government or just independent parties2. Covert government agents, or the military, and possibly connected to Majestic 12
3. Alien/human hybrids (yeah right!)
4. Humans recruited by aliens to do their dirty work
5. Aliens disguised as humans
6. Beings from another dimension
7. Beings from the future, whether alien or human
So, what's with the black suits and the black hats and the dark shades and the black sedans and the strange mannerisms? Are these half-human/half-alien beings? Or are they government agents masquerading as strange mysterious characters in order to fool us, and even purposely creating the whole MIB myth?
