Curse Of The Men In Black: Return Of The UFO Terrorists
Page 15
One night Maria couldn't sleep and got up, at about 1:00 AM to look at the stars. She stood by the window overlooking the tennis court and was surprised to see a large, ball-shaped flashing light inside the tennis court itself, which was completely surrounded by wire netting. She looked at it for about five minutes, then turned away. When she looked again at about 1:30 AM the object had gone, but she heard a strange whirring sound and, looking up, she saw the object again just above the window, but there were no lights on it this time. The object then moved off rapidly.
The next morning, none of the other girls mentioned having seen anything strange during the night, and Maria kept her experience to herself. Later that morning she was playing tennis when she slipped and fell, and was surprised to see a large, shallow, circular depression seemingly burnt onto the tennis court, exactly where she had seen the object the night before. The next day the police arrived to inspect the damage, but Maria didn't tell anyone what she had seen two nights before.
Three or four months later Maria was in a math class when one of the nuns, Sister Jennifer, interrupted the class and took her out, saying that she had a visitor. Maria thought at the time that it was unusual for the class to be interrupted, visitors normally came only at weekends, and she was worried in case the visitor was bringing bad news. Sister Jennifer showed her into a dining room where, sitting at a large table, was not one visitor but two men dressed in black. The heat was on and
the room felt warm as Maria entered it, but as soon as she saw the two men she felt cold, and she put on the jacket that she was carrying.
Maria had never seen her visitors before, and she asked them who they were. They told her they were with Dr Black, her psychiatrist. She stared at their eyes, which weren't brown or blue, but a strange brownish grayish color. She found the experience frightening, and looked away.
The men asked her how she was and how she was doing at school, just a normal, polite conversation. As they talked Maria noticed several other strange things about her visitors. They looked the same, as if they were identical twins, their skin was smooth and featureless, no beard and no sign that they ever needed to shave at all. Their hair was shiny black, each brushed in the same style and not a hair out of place, their black suits, seemingly brand new, fitted perfectly as if tailor-made and having razor-sharp creases. Their ties and socks were also black, exactly the same black as their trousers and jackets. One of the men then asked
Maria if anything strange had happened at the convent recently. She instantly thought that they must mean what she had seen at the tennis court – but she was afraid to admit anything she knew to the strangers, so she said no. The two men obviously knew she was lying as they continued to press the question. Just then the school lunchtime bell rang. The man asked what the bell was for, then told Maria she had better go to lunch, adding that they had to leave.
Although the men looked to be like businessmen, they didn't appear to be wearing watches as one of them asked Maria the time. The men had been drinking coffee during their talk with Maria, but when she shook hands with them as she was saying goodbye she noticed that their hands were ice cold, despite the fact that they had been holding hot cups of coffee during most of the conversation.
One of the men asked Sister Jennifer if Maria could show them the way out, saying finally that: "we'll be back to see you again." She walked to the doorway and was amazed to see that the two men were walking and swinging their arms exactly in step with each other.
They walked outside to their waiting black car, Maria noticing as they did so that, although it was a windy day, their hair didn't move, as if it was glued down. The car had a chauffeur, also dressed in black, who must have been waiting all this time. As the car moved off Maria noticed that the number plate had white characters on a black background, which she thought was strange. It also had mirror windows; Maria couldn't see through the windows into the car, but she thought that the men could see out. She caught a glimpse into the car when one of the men opened a door, but all she could see was black, no seats, and no dashboard. It was as if she was looking into a black hole. The car moved off silently. There was no sound of an engine being started, no exhaust fumes. (An electric car?) She was also mystified that although she saw the car turn out of the convent gate, she didn't see it moving up the hill that led to the convent. It had completely disappeared on the only road leading to the convent.
Maria stood where she was for several minutes, unable to move. She could hear Sister Jennifer calling to her, but she couldn't turn around and go to her. Sister Jennifer asked her if she was all right, at which point she "snapped out of it" and was able to move again.
She asked Maria who the men were and Maria replied, saying that they were from Dr Black; although they were both surprised that Dr Black hadn't warned them that the men would be coming. When, a few weeks later, Maria saw Dr Black, she asked her about her visitors. Dr Black said she hadn't sent the men, and would never send anyone without informing Maria first.
Although Maria never saw her MIBs again, she did begin to develop psychic powers and have extraordinary experiences. While still at the convent she: Bent a spoon, Uri Geller style – Timed herself swimming under water for five minutes before surfacing – She had an out-of-body experience. Experienced an upsurge in her creative and academic abilities, tested and verified by Dr Black. Most amazingly of all, she also claimed that on one occasion, at night, she went out into the convent yard and began to fly. This was witnessed by several other girls, who ran around trying to catch her when she flew low enough.
After Maria left the convent her strange experiences and abilities continued. She found that she could make things disappear and reappear by just thinking about them. She could make light bulbs burn out; she started a stalled car engine (with a jammed starter motor and a totally dead battery) just by willing it. She claimed to be able to turn red traffic lights to green, repeatedly, even after they had just changed to red. Strangely enough, Maria also experienced several episodes where she was unexpectedly teleported over the distance of several miles. Once, she stepped out of her front door to get the mail and found herself standing on the sidewalk in a neighborhood over five miles from her home. This happened without any warning and, as far as she could tell, was instantaneous. Marie can offer no explanation on why these strange events have centered on her.
Many of the things that happened to her were witnessed by others and were undoubtedly real. The UFO she saw left a depression and burn marks on the ground which was there for all to see; her MIBs were seen by other people and they drank
their coffee; her spoon bending, the increase in her academic and artistic abilities, light-bulb popping, some teleportation incidents, UFO sightings and other events can all be testified to.
In another weird case, also in Great Britain, Mrs. Evans (pseudonym) of Portsmouth, Hampshire went to visit the local grocer's store one morning in the autumn of 1977. In the shop she saw a tall man, dressed in black. He was ahead of her, so she stood back to wait until he was served.
As she stood in line Mrs. Evans noticed that the man's gaze was fixed upon her. She found this unnerving; he looked at her as if he knew her, as if he had been expecting her. He left the store when it was her turn at the cash register.
When she left the shop, Mrs. Evans noticed that the man was standing nearby, as if waiting for someone. As she started to walk, he began walking also, keeping five or six paces ahead of her. As she watched him she began to form the impression that he was "unusual," although she couldn't say just why.
Mrs. Evans was half-way home when he turned left into a side road. As she crossed the road, she looked to her left out of curiosity only to see the same person standing in the middle of the road. Facing her now, their eyes met once more. He nodded three times, without any change in his facial expression. His gaze was intense and penetrating. Then, to Mrs. Evans's utter amazement; he vanished without moving from the spot, "like someone turning out a light."
Thorou
ghly unnerved by now, she hurried home later recalling several strange things about the man:
* His clothes looked brand new, as though they had only just been bought. He was dressed from head to foot in black (except for his white shirt). * His skin was albino-type white, as was his hair, which was wispy. His eyes were jet black, and he appeared to be in his early 50s, but there were no wrinkles on his skin, and no sign of any facial hair or stubble.
*He had unusually broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and he walked upright with a stiff gait. There seemed to be no natural curve to his spine, which was seemingly perfectly straight.
This was not Mrs. Evans only encounter with the unusual; in 1979, over a year after her original MIB encounter. In her kitchen one day, she became aware that there was a figure standing beside her. Her husband walked in and shouted: "Who's that? What's he doing here?" Whereupon the figure, which did not seem to be totally solid, ran out of the open kitchen door and disappeared.
On another occasion, Mrs. Evans was returning home one evening when she saw, in the light from a street lamp, a tall figure. The figure was completely black and seemed to be wearing some kind of helmet, making her think of a scuba diver. At this moment her husband walked out of the front door and again shouted: "Who's that? What's he doing here?" He was convinced by now that this was Mrs. Evans's secret lover.
As her husband shouted, and as their dog started to bark, the figure glided forward, going through her neighbor's front garden hedge. She later recalled that the figure appeared at first to be completely solid and real, but it grew more transparent and eventually vanished as it slowly went through the bushes.
On another day, in broad daylight, Mrs. Evans encountered a "strange little man" who appeared in front of her and walked on by. On turning around, expecting to see his back, she was shocked to find that he had vanished.
She described the man as small, about five feet tall, olive skinned, large, round dark eyes, and black hair, slicked straight back. He seemed to be wearing some kind of RAF uniform except that it looked made-to-measure, perfectly cut and stitched. His shoes looked brand new but were not the current fashion. He walked towards her with his arms held up in front of him, gazing straight ahead with blank eyes.
On yet another occasion, again in daylight, Mrs. Evans was out walking, and she came upon a small van parked in the road. The van was white, with what looked like blue clouds and flowers painted on it. As she approached the van, its door suddenly opened and a little person jumped down in front of her. She just kept slowly walking as she and the little person gazed at each other.
At first she thought she was seeing a doll, or puppet wearing a checkered shirt and blue jeans, but she was startled as she looked into his eyes, which were jet black, marble-like, with two white dots where the pupils should have been.
He seemed to have Eskimo features, with dull black, dead straight hair, roughly cut in a pageboy style. He seemed to have a knowing look in his eyes, which disturbed her. As he passed by her she tried to look over her shoulder to see him, but her neck did not seem to be moving normally and she could only see him out of the corner of her eye.
Mrs. Evans thought he seemed to be a freak of some kind, although he was perfectly proportioned. In this case and others, it was the eyes that made her realize that she was not seeing something normal.
Another encounter came one evening in Mrs. Evans's front garden. She noticed movement within a large bush that was in the garden; as if a cat or other small animal was inside it. She remembers that everything seemed unnaturally still and quiet. Slowly, the bush began to part in two or three places. Instead of the cat that she was expecting, she was amazed to see faces, seemingly those of children. When she realized that these were not children, she froze, and the hairs on the back of her neck stood up on end. She began to hear soft clucking sounds, the sort of noise one makes when trying to make friends with a shy animal.
What she saw made her think of elves, pixies and the like. They did not seem to be totally solid looking and the bushes covered their lower bodies. As their misshapen hands extended out towards her she decided that she had seen enough and ran indoors. As she ran upstairs her husband called out to her, asking if she had seen what it was that had just bolted out of the front garden. Later, with her heart still fluttering, she came down and looked nervously outside. The "elves" were gone, but she saw, walking towards her down the path near her home, a dark figure lit by an aura that moved with it. Before it suddenly disappeared, Mrs. Evans saw that the figure had short, dark curly hair and a pointy face with very high cheekbones. Its eyes seemed to glow as it stared at her in a menacing way.
Like others who have had similar experiences, Mrs. Evans found herself undergoing a whole series of unexplainable occurrences. As a young girl in 1947, there was a poltergeist in the family home, although she herself did not realize this and her parents who had never even heard of the poltergeist phenomenon did not tell her about it until many years later.
October 16, 1973 - her father sees a massive UFO. Winter 1977/Spring 1978 – Mrs. Evans sees (with her husband) her first UFO. Christmas 1978 - early New Years 1979 - UFOs, hauntings, poltergeists. Her husband and neighbors also experience these phenomena, but her house seems to be the focus. She begins to notice strange marks, burns, bruises, and puncture marks on her skin, which seem to appear in the mornings after restless nights. Mrs. Evans reports seeing "about a dozen" UFOs from Christmas 1978 to November 1979.
A blood-like substance appeared "out of thin air" at her home, also a "transparent, jelly-like" substance. Strong smells – she, her husband and her neighbor saw a small, yellowish cloud, accompanied by a strong smell of sulphur. On another occasion there was a strong, "overpowering" smell of incense, also smells of zoo animals' cages and wet animal fur. On two occasions when "something unusual" passed over her head, she felt a click, or tap, on her temples, somewhat like a tiny electric shock.
Things appeared and disappeared in her home: keys, jewelry, eye glasses. Her purse rose from the table, flew through the air and landed in her left hand. The teakettle whistled as if boiling, but there was no water in it, and the gas was not turned on. Flames came out of fingernails, which turned bright turquoise overnight, the color being on the underside of the nail.
A "paper tape streamer" appeared out of nowhere and flew through the air in her living room. It bore the words: "Don't be afraid - we are coming back in October." Her milkman saw her standing at her front door and waved to her, and then he turned around and saw her walking down the street towards him. Other people reported seeing her at various other places when she was actually miles away.
In an article titled: "MIB Activity Reported From Victoria B.C.", (Flying Saucer Review, January 1982) Dr. P.M.H. Edwards, formerly professor of linguistics at the University of Victoria, detailed an unusual case of MIB teleportation.
In October 1981, three days after a UFO sighting in Victoria, British Columbia, Grant Breiland saw two sun-tanned expressionless men who lacked fingernails observing him at a K-Mart department store. They were stiff, seemingly "at attention," and were dressed in very dark blue clothes. They approached, and one asked Breiland in a monotonous, mechanical voice, "What is your name?" Their lips did not move when they spoke.
Breiland said, "I'm not going to tell you that."
The other man asked where Breiland lived, and then, "What is your number?"
Breiland did not respond. The two strange men stared at him for a few seconds, then turned and left, but Breiland followed them out of curiosity. The two men waited at the edge of a muddy, plowed field and, as Breiland watched them, he thought he heard someone call his name. Turning around, he saw no one. The two men walked into the field, and again, Breiland thought that he heard someone call out his name. Suddenly, the two men vanished three-quarters of the way across the field. Checking around, Breiland was unable to locate any footprints in the muddy field. It was as if the two men were ghosts.
Breiland noted that, mysteriously, no o
ther persons were in sight at the busy shopping area during the entire incident, and the setting was only repopulated after the strange men had vanished. The "depopulation" anomaly has been noted in other UFO and MIB cases, and has been termed the "Oz effect" by British UFO researcher Jenny Randles. This zone of unreality seems to indicate that these incidents could be paranormal in nature.
Smile MIB –Your On "Candid Camera"
I can't help but believe that when you take matters into your own hands and reverse the tables on them that the MIB will make a quick exit. While they do have untold capabilities to menace and perhaps even maim, at times they also seem unnecessarily timid. It is of course possible, as we have begun to realize through the pages of this study guide on the men in black, that the MIB are of various kinds. Some are secret agents of a known – or unknown – government, while others appear to be a visitor in their own right. I myself believe that the MIB are interdimensional, and are not rooted in our reality. Some might be here drawn to our world without knowing why or how to exit.
I know in the case where I photographed an MIB while in the company of Jim Moseley, he was never again seen in the neighbor in Jersey City where he had been plunked down like a zombie keeping watchful building Robinson lived.
Jim and I drove over from Manhattan without alerting the Robinson's to the fact that we were coming just in case the entire episode was being made up or fantasized by the couple. This way we could catch them off guard. Will the MIB was there just as they claimed it would be. Moseley was driving while I was in the passenger seat. Jim handed me the camera and without making a comment I took a photo of this individual hovering in the doorway along with a black car parked at the curb. Because there was traffic behind us and we wanted to park to quiz the person dressed in black we drove around the block. When we returned the individual in dark clothing was gone along with any type of car resembled anything the MIB would want to drive.
