MIB Encounters In Timothy Beckley's The UFO Silencer
Aliens are a world's mystery. Lots of people have claim to have seen aliens, while others create fake photos to get others to believe in them, but It's not the aliens that are terrifying, It's the things that come after the aliens; The men in black. Many people who report the sighting of aliens also see The Men in Black. Like the movie, these scary men in black suits also do the same thing. While in the movies the main protagonist zap the people with a small device to make people not remember things, these men in black however have threatened people not to tell. True horror to see a couple of men who come up to you and force you not to say anything. Thankfully these men in black aren't imaginary. Many have claimed sighting and have legitimate videos of their appearance …show more content…
According to Beckley, MIB have been with us for many hundreds of years, speculating that such diverse characters from the history of witchcraft and folklore as the Elizabethan "Black Men", the Native American "Black Man" and late nineteenth century reports of malevolent traveling salesmen, might have been manifestations of what we now know as Men in Black.
British ufologist Nick Redfern discussed his research into the Men in Black (MIB) phenomenon, in which he looked at numerous cases from the start of UFO sightings to the present day. The first report of Men in Black was associated with Albert Bender, who was studying UFOs in the early 1950s and formed a popular group called the International Flying Saucer Bureau. But then, he suddenly shut the organization down after he was visited by three men wearing black suits who told him that he was getting too close to the truth, and if he knew what was good for him, he’d leave the subject alone. Later, researcher Gray Barker popularized Bender’s tale, and implied that the Men in Black were government agents, Redfern

    Birth of the Blackface Minstrel Entertainment started in the late 1700s as theater performances created by White authors and actors portraying Black men. Blacks were not permitted by law to participate in these theater shows to correctly represent themselves in lieu of these stereotypes. The creation of this kind of entertainment resulted in the first preconceived image of the black man which was traversed throughout the South, North and much of Europe to many who until that time had ever seen a real black person. This image of the dark face, tattered clothes, drooping swooping exaggerated hunched over dancing and crooning coupled with the comedic broken English became the poster for all black men of that time. The audience loving this kind…

    On October 31, 1963, while on a downtown beat which he had patrolled many times over a period of several years, Cleveland Police Department detective Martin McFadden spotted two men, standing on a street corner at 1276 Euclid Avenue. Detective McFadden thought that the men, John W. Terry and Richard Chilton were behaving in a suspicious manner. Detective McFadden noticed that the two men walking back and forth and stopping to stare at a particular store window. After each trip back to the window, the men stopped on the corner to talk. This ritual was performed by the men about five or six times apiece. McFadden observed that after one of the trips, they were joined by a third man. After speaking with Terry and Chilton briefly, the man left. Detective McFadden suspected that the men were planning a robbery. Therefore, he followed them. As a result, he witnessed them rejoin the third man in from of a store a few blocks away (Cole and Smith, 2007, p. 268).…

    Area 51 Conspiracy Theory

    • 1037 Words
    • 5 Pages

    But to the reluctance of the government to address the claims of extraterrestrial activity, the conspiracy theories grew popular through the 1950s to the present. A poll showed that 57% of U.S. citizens believe that UFOs are real, therefore, beliefs in UFOs will not quickly dissipate. But recent evidence and personal accounts provide logical arguments with support to show that the claims of extraterrestrial interactions with the U.S. government in Area 51 is not true. Rather the lights and unidentified flying objects reported by people near Groom Lake were prototype aircraft that were being designed to aid the U.S. in the Cold War against the Soviet Union. The reports of UFOs only happened after the testing of experimental aircraft throughout the 1950s and 1960s, thus the correlation between the testing of the prototype planes and reports of UFOs verify that it was the aircraft tested by the U.S., not aliens flying over Area 51. The testimony by Robert Lazar is contested by retired service members who worked in Area 51 and Lazar’s questionable credibility. While there is no proof to support the conspiracy theories surrounding Area 51, people still believe and argue that the government has fabricated stories and that aliens do exist. But with no tangible…

    The Tuskegee Airmen

    The Tuskegee airmen are the first African American military pilots to serve during WWII (History of the Tuskegee Airmen). They also had a nickname, “The Red Tail Angels” because they escorted the B-52 bomber planes and painted the propeller and tail of their planes red. The Tuskegee airmen included pilots, navigators, bombardiers, and personnel who kept the planes in the air (Butkus). These men showed great courage and enduring determination in the face of racism within the military. An October 1925 report by the Army War College titled “The Use of Negro Manpower in War” reflected prevailing attitudes. The report concluded that the Negro man was immoral, mentally inferior to whites, profoundly superstitious, had less capacity for learning, and was a coward in darkness” (The Tuskegee Airmen). White officers who were not racist wouldn’t risk their career because of “the advancement of colored people” (The Tuskegee Airmen )As the war continued, The Civilian Pilot Training Act and The Public…

    It all began during Christmas of 1740 at a man by the name of John Hughson’s house. Hughson invited black slaves to his house for food, drinks, cards, dice, and dancing. There, they were also told of a plot; a plot to “set fire to the town and kill the white people.” Hughson made the blacks swear to this plot. He kept a list and said it was “an agreement of the Blacks to kill the white folks” and added black slave’s names to the list in ink.…

    African American Theatre

    Although the black performing arts population had to take the road of survival to gain self satisfaction in the theater, it was not painless. For a long time, black people were not allowed on the stage; instead black actors were mocked by white actors in "black face." Black face was a technique where white actors would physically cover their face with black paint and act as a black character. It was from this misrepresentation of the "black actor" that the names tom, coon, mulatto, mammy and buck derived. According to Donald Bogle, none of the types were meant to do great harm, although at various times individual ones did. He proceeds to say, that they were all merely filmic reproductions of black stereotypes that had existed since the days of slavery and were already popularized in American life and arts (4-9).…
