� THOSE MYSTERIOUS MIBS �
� �
� by Richard D. Siegfried �
� Oklahoma Director of Investigations �
� �
�The evolution of the comprehension of the UFO phenomenon and�
�related subjects has, by April, 1993, accepted to some �
�degree such extraordinary happenings as abductions, cattle �
�mutilations, and even so-called Bigfoot sightings. I guess �
�it is time for me to acquiesce and consider the really far- �
�out subject of the infamous Men In Black. I don't like to �
�think about them for I have always thought the subject not a�
�little silly. �
� �
�Since 1977, the year of my great enlightenment, Men In Black�
�have been mentioned to me by a few citizens. In fact, around�
�1979, at an Ohio UFO Investigators public presentation in �
�Cincinnati, Ohio, my friends and I may have encountered two �
�of the "creatures." �
� �
�During the registration for the conference two men entered �
�the lobby. They were dressed in very neat dark suits, �
�sported very GI haircuts and what looked like Air Force �
�regulation dress shoes. The twosome would not speak to �
�anyone. �
� �
�Neither would they register, although they paid the �
�admission fee. Actually I have always thought that they were�
�Air Force Intelligence agents who forgot to change their �
�shoes. �
� �
�But then, at the end of the program we were walking down a �
�long corridor leading to our vehicles. The two mystery men �
�were walking ahead of us. We were laughing and talking �
�rather loudly. Both men turned and looked at us. At that �
�point the corridor made a right angle turn. They rounded the�
�corner. Although we were probably no more than forty or �
�fifty feet behind them by the time we turned the corner the �
�two men had disappeared. �
� �
�We were all astonished. We looked for a door that they could�
�have ducked into and at the same time were wondering why �
�they would do that. Three of us ran to the outside door and �
�looked around the parking lot. They were gone. Unless they �
�did duck into one of the unmarked doors what they did was �
�inhuman. �
� �
�Some years later a married couple moved into an apartment �
�complex just two blocks from my residence. The lady, a �
�nurse, had had some very unusual experiences. Somehow she �
�had found out that I was a MUFON investigator and came down �
�to the house to discuss her situation. I can't remember what�
�she told me. �
� �
�But, I do remember what her husband said. They had moved �
�from Akron, Ohio. While there the husband became the leader�
�of a rather healthy UFO group of citizens. He would rent �
�part of the enormous hangar of the Goodyear Blimp and �
�conduct meetings in it. �
� �
�Since it was so long ago I can't recall how the warnings �
�began but eventually the Men In Black became involved in an �
�attempt to scare him off. He didn't scare. That is, he �
�didn't become frightened until his little giris told him �
�that two men, in dark suits and hats, driving a large black �
�automobile, were following them to and from school. �
� �
�The implication was clear. Either he stop his UFO activities�
�or something would happen to the children. That is when the �
�family moved to Dayton. The gentleman would have nothing to �
�do with any UFO organization. �
� �
�There was no reason for me to doubt the authenticity of the �
�story. �
� �
�Somewhere around the end of the 1970s the Men In Black were �
�made known to me again. That time, I felt, the story was �
�filled with humor. �
� �
�I taught a senior high school class in Anthropology. There �
�were two sisters, who were my students. Their heritage was �
�part Native American. In fact, their mother was a Native �
�American from South America. �
�Mrs. X was a citizen of Chile. During the terrible days of �
�the Chilean revolution and the following years of �
�dictatorship she became involved in supporting Allende, the �
�legitimate Communist presidente of that suffering nation. �
�Then, the Communists were thrown out of office, with what �
�seems to be considerable support from the United States �
�intelligence community, Mrs. X, realizing that the Communist�
�leader was far better for her country than the military �
�dictator, became quite vocal. Prudence dictated that they �
�flee while they were still alive. They went to Brazil. �
� �
�The father and the daughters, my students, were American �
�citizens and I think the wife also was a U.S. citizen. �
�Peculiar things happened and they were unable to leave �
�Brazil for the United States. A long time passed and finally�
�they made good their exit from Brazil before the authorities�
�could catch on to their plan for legally leaving Brazil. �
� �
�Both parents were professors at one of the Ohio state �
�universities. Both came in and lectured to my students about�
�the primitive natives of South America and other peoples of �
�the world. �
� �
�One day the gentleman told me about their experience with �
�Men In Black. �
� �
�At that time the family lived in a community east of Dayton.�
�By the time I had met them, the mother and both daughters, �
�because of their heritage, had been accepted into the local,�
�urban, Shawnee Tribal Council. �
� �
�What happened to them next is what we wish would never �
�happen in America. Someone was watching them. They �
�discussed the problem and decided that either a foreign or �
�United States intelligence organization was watching them �
�and at the same time intimidating them by being obvious. �
�They didn't consider the situation dangerous. �
� �
�One evening two members of the Shawnee Indian Nation visited�
�the family's home. The men in that council are large, for �
�the most part; very impressive physical specimens; proud �
�descendants of the famous Tecumseh. �
� �
�Somewhere in the course of the conversation the one Native �
�American said, "There are two guys sitting out there in the �
�alley watching your house. What's going on?" �
� �
�The response was, "Oh, those two sit out there about every �
�night. Don't worry about them. But they do make us nervous."�
� �
�The Shawnee replied, "Don't worry about them. We'll take �
�care of it." �
� �
�The next night the black vehicle was once again parked in �
�the alley, both men, clad in dark clothing, were watching �
�the house. Suddenly the two Shawnee appeared, one on each �
�side of the car. �
� �
�"Hey, man! What are you doing out here in the dark?" �
� �
�The car windows were rolled down and the occupants had no �
�recourse but to respond. "Nothing. Just sitting here. We �
�aren't doing anything." �
� �
�"Yes you are," said the deep voice of one of the Indians. �
�You are bothering our friends inside the house." �
� �
�"No. We're just sitting here." �
� �
�"Look, man, we say you are. Do you know what's behind your �
�car, at the end of this little alley? Well, I'll tell you. �
�There is a swamp. The swamp is deep and boggy. In fact, my �
�buddy and I could roll this car backwards into the swamp and�
�it would sink and no one would ever find it. Get it? �
� �
�Don't ever show up here again or bother our friends again or�
�you will disappear forever." �
� �
�My story teller, a college professor, mind you, laughed. �
�"They took baseball bats and smashed out all of the lights �
�and windows on the car. That's the last we ever saw of the �
�Men In Black." �
� �
�Because of that story I never took The Men In Black very �
�seriously. I was prone to think they were costumed agents of�
�a paranoid government agency running amok. �
� �
�In the May 1992 edition of Lou Farish's UFO NEWSCLIPPING �
�SERVICE, there is an article that is far more serious than �
�what I have written. The validity of the report is �
�questionable. I don't know any of the people involved, �
�writers or witnesses. That isn't to say the story isn't �
�true. �
