The Hollywood blockbuster film, Men in Black was an entertaining piece of science fiction. The film’s story involved special agents investigating aliens and unidentified flying objects (UFOs). The Roots of the film actually lie in the weird encounters by the agents.
Actual real men in black encounters have been reported for over 50 years! As with UFO theories, no one knows whether men in black are real or fake. In 1956, American author, Gray Barker, published a book on the subject called "They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers". With this book, Barker revealed to the world that the men in black actually exsisted.
The real men in black are claimed to magically appear after a UFO sighting. They are weird looking men wearing clean black suits and black hats. The real men in black are said to be either very short or very tall ,no one is of normal size, and to wear wigs and make-up to cover up their true identity. They are also said to arrive in either very new or new looking, old style black Cadillacs. They claim to be either from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), FBI, or some other secret agency.
The men in black supposivly question or interrogate the people whom spotted the UFO's and threaten them emensly not to reveal anything they have seen. The men then disappear as quickly and mysteriously as they had appeared. Most of the theories regarding the real men in black say that they are actually alien beings. This theory unfortunately, cannot be proved, and there have only been 40 documented accounts of encounters.
Another theory regarding the real men in black was put forward to the public after anonymous articles were sent to websites and newspapers. The articles report that astonishonally, there is a very real agency called the Office of Scientific Investigation and Research (OSIR). The OSIR are concerned with all things scientific, including the paranormal (aliens, ghosts, gools) , supernatural and metaphysical.
The OSIR is said to have a special Phenomenology division that deals directly with extraterrestrial life. They also deal with unexplainable events and happenings such as crop circles, ancient mysteries and distortions of space. The OSIR is said to be staffed by the world’s scientific experts. It also has links to numerous intelligence agencies and government offices around the world.
In 1990, the OSIR was said to have created and opened a Public Relations division to interact with the public domain. Ten years later though, this division was shut down and nothing has been heard from them since. The OSIR is said to have major powers that supersede all government officials and agencies. Are the investigators from the OSIR the real mean in black?
The truth about the real men in black may never be known to the public. It is now common knowledge that secret government agencies such as OSIR exist, but the question is, why would they appear for 10 years only to disappear? Speculation exists that information was being fed to the public during this time through the media from the OSIR. Whether these encounters are true or just more speculation to feed the public’s paranoia remains to be seen.
