Siegfried ³ ³ Oklahoma Director of Investigations ³ ³ ³ ³The evolution of the comprehension of the UFO phenomenon and³ ³related subjects has, by April, 1993, accepted to some ³ ³degree such extraordinary happenings as abductions, cattle ³ ³mutilations, and even so-called Bigfoot sightings. I guess ³ ³it is time for me to acquiesce and consider the really far- ³ ³out subject of the infamous Men In Black. I don't like to ³ ³think about them for I have always thought the subject not a³ ³little silly. ³ ³ ³ ³Since 1977, the year of my great enlightenment, Men In Black³ ³have been mentioned to me by a few citizens. In fact, around³ ³1979, at an Ohio UFO Investigators public presentation in ³ ³Cincinnati, Ohio, my friends and I may have encountered two ³ ³of the "creatures." ³ ³ ³ ³During the registration for the conference two men entered ³ ³the lobby. They were dressed in very neat dark suits, ³ ³sported very GI haircuts and what looked like Air Force ³ ³regulation dress shoes. The twosome would not speak to ³ ³anyone. ³ ³ ³ ³Neither would they register, although they paid the ³ ³admission fee. Actually I have always thought that they were³ ³Air Force Intelligence agents who forgot to change their ³ ³shoes. ³ ³ ³ ³But then, at the end of the program we were walking down a ³ ³long corridor leading to our vehicles. The two mystery men ³ ³were walking ahead of us. We were laughing and talking ³ ³rather loudly. Both men turned and looked at us. At that ³ ³point the corridor made a right angle turn. They rounded the³ ³corner. Although we were probably no more than forty or ³ ³fifty feet behind them by the time we turned the corner the ³ ³two men had disappeared. ³ ³ ³ ³We were all astonished. We looked for a door that they could³ ³have ducked into and at the same time were wondering why ³ ³they would do that. Three of us ran to the outside door and ³ ³looked around the parking lot. They were gone. Unless they ³ ³did duck into one of the unmarked doors what they did was ³ ³inhuman. ³ ³ ³ ³Some years later a married couple moved into an apartment ³ ³complex just two blocks from my residence. The lady, a ³ ³nurse, had had some very unusual experiences. Somehow she ³ ³had found out that I was a MUFON investigator and came down ³ ³to the house to discuss her situation. I can't remember what³ ³she told me. ³ ³ ³ ³But, I do remember what her husband said. They had moved ³ ³from Akron, Ohio. While there the husband became the leader³ ³of a rather healthy UFO group of citizens. He would rent ³ ³part of the enormous hangar of the Goodyear Blimp and ³ ³conduct meetings in it. ³ ³ ³ ³Since it was so long ago I can't recall how the warnings ³ ³began but eventually the Men In Black became involved in an ³ ³attempt to scare him off. He didn't scare. That is, he ³ ³didn't become frightened until his little giris told him ³ ³that two men, in dark suits and hats, driving a large black ³ ³automobile, were following them to and from school. ³ ³ ³ ³The implication was clear. Either he stop his UFO activities³ ³or something would happen to the children. That is when the ³ ³family moved to Dayton. The gentleman would have nothing to ³ ³do with any UFO organization. ³ ³ ³ ³There was no reason for me to doubt the authenticity of the ³ ³story. ³ ³ ³ ³Somewhere around the end of the 1970s the Men In Black were ³ ³made known to me again. That time, I felt, the story was ³ ³filled with humor. ³ ³ ³ ³I taught a senior high school class in Anthropology. There ³ ³were two sisters, who were my students. Their heritage was ³ ³part Native American. In fact, their mother was a Native ³ ³American from South America. ³ ³Mrs. X was a citizen of Chile. During the terrible days of ³ ³the Chilean revolution and the following years of ³ ³dictatorship she became involved in supporting Allende, the ³ ³legitimate Communist presidente of that suffering nation. ³ ³Then, the Communists were thrown out of office, with what ³ ³seems to be considerable support from the United States ³ ³intelligence community, Mrs. X, realizing that the Communist³ ³leader was far better for her country than the military ³ ³dictator, became quite vocal. Prudence dictated that they ³ ³flee while they were still alive. They went to Brazil. ³ ³ ³ ³The father and the daughters, my students, were American ³ ³citizens and I think the wife also was a U.S. citizen. ³ ³Peculiar things happened and they were unable to leave ³ ³Brazil for the United States. A long time passed and finally³ ³they made good their exit from Brazil before the authorities³ ³could catch on to their plan for legally leaving Brazil. ³ ³ ³ ³Both parents were professors at one of the Ohio state ³ ³universities. Both came in and lectured to my students about³ ³the primitive natives of South America and other peoples of ³ ³the world. ³ ³ ³ ³One day the gentleman told me about their experience with ³ ³Men In Black. ³ ³ ³ ³At that time the family lived in a community east of Dayton.³ ³By the time I had met them, the mother and both daughters, ³ ³because of their heritage, had been accepted into the local,³ ³urban, Shawnee Tribal Council. ³ ³ ³ ³What happened to them next is what we wish would never ³ ³happen in America. Someone was watching them. They ³ ³discussed the problem and decided that either a foreign or ³ ³United States intelligence organization was watching them ³ ³and at the same time intimidating them by being obvious. ³ ³They didn't consider the situation dangerous. ³ ³ ³ ³One evening two members of the Shawnee Indian Nation visited³ ³the family's home. The men in that council are large, for ³ ³the most part; very impressive physical specimens; proud ³ ³descendants of the famous Tecumseh. ³ ³ ³ ³Somewhere in the course of the conversation the one Native ³ ³American said, "There are two guys sitting out there in the ³ ³alley watching your house. What's going on?" ³ ³ ³ ³The response was, "Oh, those two sit out there about every ³ ³night. Don't worry about them. But they do make us nervous."³ ³ ³ ³The Shawnee replied, "Don't worry about them. We'll take ³ ³care of it." ³ ³ ³ ³The next night the black vehicle was once again parked in ³ ³the alley, both men, clad in dark clothing, were watching ³ ³the house. Suddenly the two Shawnee appeared, one on each ³ ³side of the car. ³ ³ ³ ³"Hey, man! What are you doing out here in the dark?" ³ ³ ³ ³The car windows were rolled down and the occupants had no ³ ³recourse but to respond. "Nothing. Just sitting here. We ³ ³aren't doing anything." ³ ³ ³ ³"Yes you are," said the deep voice of one of the Indians. ³ ³You are bothering our friends inside the house." ³ ³ ³ ³"No. We're just sitting here." ³ ³ ³ ³"Look, man, we say you are. Do you know what's behind your ³ ³car, at the end of this little alley? Well, I'll tell you. ³ ³There is a swamp. The swamp is deep and boggy. In fact, my ³ ³buddy and I could roll this car backwards into the swamp and³ ³it would sink and no one would ever find it. Get it? ³ ³ ³ ³Don't ever show up here again or bother our friends again or³ ³you will disappear forever." ³ ³ ³ ³My story teller, a college professor, mind you, laughed. ³ ³"They took baseball bats and smashed out all of the lights ³ ³and windows on the car. That's the last we ever saw of the ³ ³Men In Black." ³ ³ ³ ³Because of that story I never took The Men In Black very ³ ³seriously. I was prone to think they were costumed agents of³ ³a paranoid government agency running amok. ³ ³ ³ ³In the May 1992 edition of Lou Farish's UFO NEWSCLIPPING ³ ³SERVICE, there is an article that is far more serious than ³ ³what I have written. The validity of the report is ³ ³questionable. I don't know any of the people involved, ³ ³writers or witnesses. That isn't to say the story isn't ³ ³true. ³ ³ ³ ³=END= ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ ********************************************** * THE U.F.O.
