Ep. 180: Men in Black, Pt. 1 - Middle-Aged White Guy Activities

Best known today for diminishing cinematic returns, the Men In Black have been one of the creepiest boogymen of the UFO community for nearly 80 years. This week, Sean takes us all the way back to 1947 and the first reported incident of someone being approached by a black-suited government agent after a UFO sighting and told to keep quiet. Next we jump ahead to the early '50s to meet Albert Bender, whose own encounters with so-called Men in Black were decidedly more sinister. What did Bender see in 1953 that made him stop investigating UFOs altogether? And if the Men in Black aren't really men... What are they? This #HotMothSummer, Ain't It Scary has the answers. ________________________________________ Connect with us on social media: Facebook: www.facebook.com/aintitscary Twitter: @aintitscary Instagram: @aintitscary Patreon: www.patreon.com/aintitscary Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/aint-it-scary?ref_id=27696 ___________________________________________ Thank you to our sponsors: Neuro Gum - Get up to 30% off your order of Neuro Gum at tryneurogum.com/aintitscary!
