The Men in Black

The Men in Black

In popular culture and UFO conspiracy, men in black or MIB are supposed men dressed in black suits who claim to be government agents who harass or threaten witnesses to keep them quiet about what they have seen. It is sometimes implied that they may be aliens themselves.

The term is also frequently used to describe mysterious men working for unknown organizations, as well as various branches of government allegedly designed to protect secrets or perform other strange activities. The term is generic, used for any unusual, threatening or strangely behaved individual whose appearance on the scene can be linked in some fashion with a UFO sighting.

Folklorist  James R Lewis compares accounts of men in black with tales of people encountering the Devil and speculates that they can be considered a kind of “psychological drama”.

Subtle Impressions

Photographer Unknown, (Subtle Impressions on the Mind)

“And then the sly arch-lover that he was, he said the subtlest thing of all: that the lover was nearer the divine than the beloved; for the god was in the one but not in the other – perhaps the tenderest, most mocking thought that ever was thought, and source of all the guile and secret bliss the lover knows.”
― Thomas Mann, Death in Venice and Other Tales

Bread and More

Photographer Unknown, (Bread and More)

“There he got out the luncheon-basket and packed a simple meal, in which, remembering the stranger’s origin and preferences, he took care to include a yard of long French bread, a sausage out of which the garlic sang, some cheese which lay down and cried, and a long-necked straw-covered flask wherein lay bottled sunshine shed and garnered on far Southern slopes.”
