Flying Saucers (Oscar Aibar, 2003) and Men in Black (Barry Sonnenfeld, 1997) are, I think, the best two films have captured the geek side of ufology. In the U.S. we are hoping to premiere the third, but it looks like it will for long. The opening scenes were filmed in late 2010 and since then, the shooting appears to be stopped. At present, it is not clear that there is a final script, although the recent addition of Josh Broslin optimism. Legend of
Men in Black (MiB) is almost as old as the first sightings. The only odd thing is that there is something true. The first researcher to report that the government had concealed information and officers of harassing witnesses was the pioneer Donald Keyhole (author's first book on the subject: Flying saucers are real, 1950).
The agency gave some truth in a document entitled 'The role of the CIA in the study of UFOs, 1947-90. " But these cases are not the originators of the MiB. However, viewed in perspective, some people believe something, despite the denials of rigor, nor was anything unusual taking into account that Area 51 official not yet exist.
The presence of curious characters dressed in black took to establish itself as a hard core of ufology. The credit was Gray Barker and his books (especially knew too much about flying saucers) and their tenacity in exploiting the reef.
Barker was chief scientist at the International Flying Saucer Bureau, an organization led by Albert K. ufologists Bender, who edited Space Review. In April 1953, the magazine announced a huge exclusive for the next issue: the truth about UFOs. Months later, the magazine and the Bureau mysteriously closed its doors, and we're still waiting for the big revelation.
In 1956 hit bookstores knew too ... explaining how three mysterious men dressed in black with matching glasses and traveling in a black car, Bender had threatened to kill him if he talked. Thus was born the legend.
curious thing about the 'MiB' is that if they wanted to go unnoticed, go in deep mourning in a black Cadillac did not help. Guerrero is the effect of the Mask, with the mask and the cross, you see it coming a mile away.
Barker and Barker was much devoted part of his life to beating around the bush with the item. His relationship with the world of ufology was strange. It was one of the indisputable reference, but heavy drinker and homosexual, his credentials were not the best (which explains his resentment against the scene). Barker never believed nor a damn about anything having to do with UFOs. Falsified everything he could and more, and wasted little time in hiding. It was great.
moving money is undeniable, but also for fun, a detail that redeems him. Barker got Ray Palmer (another reference to the UFO) published the letter of the mysterious Dr. Richard H. Pratt, actually written by a boy of 17 years named John Sherwood. In it, the doctor explained that he had been threatened by agents of an organization called BICR after discovering that UFOs were ships carrying by time. There ufologists still take it for sure.
But his greatest contribution to the cause was a day-blind as a top, according to his friend James Moseley-called another researcher John Keel (who invented the acronym MiB). Posing himself and faked his own voice has got merit-Keel believed he had been supplanted by a robot friend that black men were after him.
Barker was a mug like the top of a pine. Like most, he made money by selling stories he knew were lies and does not excuse that many do the same. But it did much sense of humor and without a mask. Although today is half-forgotten by the big misteriodistas, his name is linked to hundreds of cases, as the Philadelphia Experiment, Mothman or the adventures of George Adamski. A MiB III to its height would be the best of tributes.
