The government came up with an ingenious idea: they created a group within the heart of officialdom whose job it would be to keep people away from the really important parts of the UFO phenomenon.
Area 51 The Revealing Truth of Ufos, Secret Aircraft, Cover-Ups & Conspiracies
Although the U.S. government had no real idea of who, or what, the real Men in Black were, the government realized that the phenomenon of the MIB could be used to the advantage of the likes of the NSA, the CIA, and military intelligence. It wasn’t just the MIB who wanted UFO witnesses silenced: the government did, too, but the government was concerned about threatening UFO witnesses—American citizens, in other words—and being outed in the process.
The government came up with an ingenious idea: they created a group within the heart of officialdom whose job it would be to keep people away from the really important parts of the UFO phenomenon. Threats, silencing, and intimidation were the orders of the day, but how was that successfully achieved?
By having their secret agents dress and act like the real MIB that had terrorized Albert Bender. In other words, they wore black suits, black sunglasses, and black fedoras and acted in a distinctly odd, emotionless fashion. The government really did not know (and probably still does not know) who or what the MIB really were, but that same government knew that it could exploit the phenomenon to its distinct advantage. Dressing as the MIB would offer the government an ingenious form of camouflage, and it did. It was a case of using fear to provoke the ultimate form of control.
As the 1960s became the 1970s, then the 1980s, the 1990s, and now the twenty-first century, the issue of two different types of MIB being in existence—
government agents and something supernatural—continued.
Let’s now take a look at some latter-day cases. In 2011, the following extraordinary account was provided to me by a British man named Tim Cowell, who is a freelance videographer and has been filming professionally since 2008.
He has a bachelor of arts degree in film, television, and advertising from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. His filming credits include fashion TV, corporate businesses, the Wrexham Council, the education sector, and various documentaries. Alongside his freelance work, he is currently studying for his second degree in creative media technology at Glyndwr University. He also volunteers his photography skills to the Wrexham County Borough Museum and Archives.
Cowell’s account demonstrates that whoever, or whatever, the Men in Black may be, they were as active in the 1990s as they were when poor Albert Bender was being terrorized back in the early 1950s. Notably, as our correspondence progressed, Tim revealed that—MIB aside—he had the lifelong experience of strange phenomena, including encounters of both a ghostly and a ufological kind. Just like Albert Bender, in fact.… “Dear Mr. Redfern, The reason I am writing to you is with regards to a strange experience I had back in 1997 when I was 17 years old.
Whether you may be able to shed light on my experience I’m not sure, but I came across your name and ‘real Men in Black’ article on the web a few moments ago and felt that your expertise on the subject might lift a nagging uncertainty that I have had for fourteen years.
