MIB 3

Over at his Silver Screen Saucers blog, Robbie Graham alerts us to the latest news on the third installment in the Men in Black movie series.

Here's the link!

Listing the MIB

Patrick Huyghe of Anomalist Books has alerted me to this: a lengthy listing of MIB reports prepared for the Magonia Blog by Gareth Medway. It doesn't, of course, include every MIB story that has appeared in-print, but it does offer the MIB researcher a good selection of data, much dating back decades.

Red Dirt Report Review

At Red Dirt Report, Andrew W. Griffin reviews The Real Men in Black. Describing the book as "very creepy," he says: "Redfern, an authority on conspiracies, high weirdness and the paranormal, offers up this spooky-and-interesting information in an easy-to-read and conversational way."

And here's the link to the complete review.

New Dawn Q&A

A couple of months ago, the Australian magazine New Dawn did an interview with me for the print-edition of their magazine on my The Real Men in Black.

But, the interview has now been posted online at their website, and you can find it right here.

As I note in the interview: "My personal conclusion is that there are at least two things going on. There are the government-originated MIB, and there are the weirder MIB. As for the former, I prove in the book that some can be traced back to official agencies of at least several governments. As for those stranger MIB, my personal view is that they are paranormal. Of course, much of this depends on how we define the paranormal! My personal view is that the MIB may be the inhabitants of multi-dimensions or extra-dimensions that co-exist with ours, and whose role it is to keep us away from the truth about not just UFOs, but a whole range of strange phenomena too. But as for why, that is the big question still eluding us!"

The Real Men in Black in Fate

The new issue of Fate magazine includes an excellent, 4-page review of The Real Men in Black from Jerome Clark.

Jerry describes the book as being "breezily written" and spends a great deal of time discussing Joshua P. Warren's theories in its pages concerning the theory that the MIB may be time travelers.

You can find out more about Fate magazine right here.

Info Ovni & The MIB

Over at Info Ovni, you can find a new Q&A with me about my thoughts on the Men in Black. Here's the link...

Poll Results on MIB Origins

Well, the poll results relative to my question posed here - namely, who or what are the Men in Black? - are in. And those same results make for interesting reading.

They are as follows:

Government agents: 26 percent.
Aliens: 19 percent.
Paranormal Creatures: 38 percent.
Hoaxing and Misidentification: 15 per cent.

As for the remaining 2 percent? Well, I have no idea where they went to at all! Confiscated by the MIB, maybe?

But, that most people view the MIB phenomenon as being real, albeit of an other-world nature (whether alien or paranormal) is intriguing, and a conclusion with which I agree.

Of course, that more than a quarter of all those who voted concluded that the phenomenon has its origins in the world of government is notable too, given the fact that - as I note in my The Real Men in Black book - there are clearly two sides to the MIB. There are ours and then there is..."something else."

But, precisely what that "something else" may be is a matter of ongoing debate.

Many thanks to all those who voted!

The Conscious Life Expo

As a reminder, I'll be lecturing on The Real Men in Black this weekend at the Conscious Life Expo, Los Angeles. If you'll be there, say hello!

Monsters and the MIB

The Men in Black, the Loch Ness Monster, strange balls of glowing light, and even Armageddon - they're all a part of a strange story I relate over at Mysterious Universe!

The Real Men in Black in New Dawn Magazine

The new issue ("Special Issue 17", as it's listed) of Australia's New Dawn magazine includes an extensive, 3,600-word, 5-page interview with me about my The Real Men in Black book.

In what turned out to be a lengthy Q&A, we covered such issues as (A) the early 1950s experiences of Albert Bender; (B) the connections between the MIB and the glowing-eyed Mothman of Point Pleasant, West Virginia; (C) the MIB research of John Keel; (D) the groundbreaking work of Brad Steiger; (E) government files on the Men in Black; (F) the MIB caught on camera in 1968 by researcher Timothy Green Beckley; (G) the fascinating MIB-themed experience of Fortean author Colin Bennett; (H) the links between MIB encounters and alien abductions (with an emphasis on the disturbing experiences of researcher, author and good friend, Marie D. Jones), and (I) the intriguing theory that the MIB might be time-travelers!

New Dawn is an excellent publication that, if you haven't seen it already, you really should!

Cosmic Particles With Dr. Meg

Tonight, I'll be on the Cosmic Particles With Dr. Meg show talking about The Real Men in Black. Here's the link to the show.

Polling The MIB

As you'll see on the right of this page, just underneath the main banner, I have added a "Poll" section to the blog. Each month (for 30 days), I'll have a new question which - if people click on it and offer their opinions - will hopefully provide some understanding of how the community views certain aspects of the MIB phenomenon. Let me know your views!

The Real MIB on Radio Misterioso

On Sunday night I was interviewed live for 2-hours by Greg Bishop on his Radio Misterioso show on my latest book, The Real Men in Black. Aliens, time-travelers, Tulpas, demonology, government agents and much more were all ripe for discussion! For those who may have missed the show and want to hear it, it's now archived and available online. Here's the link.

Mysterious Universe and the MIB

A few days ago Ben Grundy of Mysterious Universe did an extensive interview with me about The Real Men in Black. The interview is now available for download - right here!
