Real Men in Black Exist, Air Force Memo Suggests

For decades, UFO researchers have encountered mysterious “Men in Black,” individuals who pose as military officers with a goal to “suppress investigation into the UFO mystery, discredit the individuals who are involved in such investigations, instill fear and confusion in witnesses,” as John Keel once put it.

We’ve come across an old US Air Force memo that says the branch and Project Blue Book were aware of these men, and documented several cases where they intimidated UFO witnesses, and even confiscated photo evidence.
