For the last two days I have been hearing the Men in Black song by Will Smith, looping over and over again. I didn't have the radio or television on when I would hear it. My Clairaudience was kicking in. I was hearing it off and on, that I would be around the house singing the chorus.
So who, what, are the Men in Black? Was it just a catchy rap performed by Will Smith, or is there more meaning behind the term?
When most hear Men in Black, they think of Will Smith. Then there are those who have had an experience with strange looking humanoids dressed in black, who I had heard through different contactees experience telepathy.
How did their presence come about?
We have to go back to Washingtin's Maury Island in 1947. Harold Dahl was on his boat when he saw six metallic donut shaped craft hovering above his head.
The next day a man in a black suit appeared asking Dahl about what he had seen. Recounting his every move while the ship's were in sight. The man in black told Dahl to never speak of it again, threatening him with dire consequences if he every did.
The ufo community grabbed hold of this story, even though it later became known as a hoax. This men in black story would later evolve a MIB mythos that morphed into stories and movies.
Harold Dahl wasn't the only story. In 1947, Kenneth Arnold would write the book, "They Knew To Much About Flying Saucers." Kennenth Arnold was a pilot who had a UFO sighting in 1947. This is what brought the MIB figure and UFO narrative into a broader spectrum.
In 1950, Albert K. Bender, a UFO enthusiasts, also made claims of having encounters with MIB figures.
How have the Men In Black been described?
According to Wikipedia, "men in black (MIB) are allegedly government agents dressed in dark suits, who question, interrogate, harass, and threaten unidentified flying object (UFO) witnesses to keep them silent about what they have seen. The term is also frequently used to describe mysterious men working for unknown organizations, as well as various branches of government allegedly tasked with protecting government UFO secrets or performing other strange activities. They are typically described as tall men with expressionless faces, slightly pale skin, and usually wearing black suits with black sunglasses."
Another case was recorded in 1976. Dr. Herbert Hopkins.
"...the men in black visited Dr. Herbert Hopkins, a respected physician, and UFO investigator.
Back then, Dr. Hopkins was dealing with a strange UFO case in the nearby town of Norway, Maine.
The case involved two workers who spotted a strange flying object and tried to approach it, as they reach close to the unidentified craft, they were engulfed by a blinding white light and they passed out.
When both the workers came to their senses, they found themselves a mile further down the road and realized that they had been lying there for hours and could not recall anything that happened.
Being a trained hypnotist, he examined one of the workers and was fascinated by the accounts provided by the worker of the missing time.
Hopkins felt that he was on the edge of a breakthrough in understanding the phenomenon of Alien abductions."
The story continues with Dr. Hopkins receiving a phone call from a man claiming to be the Vice-president of the New Jersey UFO Research Organization, wanting to speak about the case he was working on. Dr. Hopkins agreed giving the man his address. After the call, Dr. Hopkins went to the porch to turn the light on. He noticed a man approaching the house thinking, this could not be the man.
There were no vehicles in sight. The man approached, with Hopkins taking note of his appearance. The man was in a black suit with a black Homburg hat. His skin was chalk white when he removed his hat.
They discussed the case in a calm manner. When the man got ready to go his demeanor changed. The man's voice was menacing. He told Hopkins to get rid of the tapes. He gave Hopkins a coin. Hopkins watched it disappear in front of his eyes. The man in black then said, "Neither you nor anyone else on this planet will ever see that coin again. We can do the same to your heart."
Well, damn.
Needless to say, Hopkins destroyed the tapes and all other materials he had.
It's said other researchers were visited by the MIB, who also decided to go silent.
I still don't fully know why this song took hold of me the way it did. It started about three weeks ago, and even now, every so often, it creeps back in silently, and there I am, singing it again.
Maybe it was nothing more than a catchy hook resurfacing from memory attached to something or someone. Or maybe, given how my clairaudience tends to work, something was trying to get my attention long enough to send me down this rabbit hole. Either way, I know a lot more now about who, or what, the Men in Black actually are than I did two weeks ago.
So I decided to ask my dowsing rods a few questions about it.
