MAJIC EYES ONLY and the Men in Black

When it comes to the mysterious Men in Black, there is one area of the subject that is seldom discussed - namely their deep and longlasting links to the crashed UFO phenomenon.

But, the more we look, the more we find evidence of witnesses to UFO crash events who have been intimidated, threatened and silenced by these dark-suited characters.

And a very good source for such MIB-themed UFO Crash-Retrieval data is Ryan Wood's book, MAJIC EYES ONLY: Earth's Encounters With Extraterrestrial Technology.

Wood's title includes a large body of fascinating data that strongly suggests the MIB have played significant roles in certain prominent cases of UFO crash/retrieval.

Wood cites, for example, the apparent confiscation by "the Government" of materials and evidence relative to the famous story of a UFO crash in 1897 at Aurora, Texas.

Men in Black and sophisticated surveillance of UFO eyewitnesses are also integral aspects of the reported UFO crash at Maury Island, Tacoma in June 1947 - which is the subject of a chapter in MAJIC EYES ONLY.

"Leave it well alone" were the words spoken by a sinister military officer to a former employee of the British Ministry of Defense when that same former employee went looking for data on a UFO crash - and the subsequent recovery of a number of non-human bodies - that is said to have occurred near the old East-West German border in 1962, as Wood reveals.

MAJIC EYES ONLY also includes a 6-page chapter on the crash of an aerial craft of unknown origin in the British Isles in early 1964. The witness - Harold South - speaks on the record about how he was detained and threatened in the wake of the affair, and how he came to be placed under apparent secret surveillance by the British military, when he elected to discuss with the UFO research community the bizarre events in which he was implicated.

The crash of a UFO at Kecksburg, Pennsylvania in December 1965 is well known within the field of Ufology. Notably, as MAJIC EYES ONLY makes very clear, the Kecksburg event also has a quasi-MIB angle to it. John Murphy - of the local WHJB Radio - found himself on the receiving end of a visit from certain "government men" that confiscated priceless audio-recordings of witness testimony to the event, clearly indicating that something very strange occurred at Kecksburg - an event that is still shrouded in secrecy to this day.

Wood also cites an account that surfaced from legendary UFO crash/retrieval investigator Leonard Stringfield, who uncovered shocking data on the discovery of a number of seemingly alien bodies on ranch land in Western Kentucky in 1987. In this case, Wood notes, the rancher had the "fear of God" put in him by highly-intimidating military personnel.

And, needless to say, the list goes on and on. In other words, as Ryan Wood's MAJIC EYES ONLY makes clear, if you have been witness to the crash and retrieval of some form of advanced craft of unknown origin, you too may one day be the recipient of a visit from the dreaded Men in Black.

You have been warned...

Check out Ryan Wood's book, MAJIC EYES ONLY: Earth's Encounters with Extraterrestrial Technology, which is the definitive guide to UFO events of the crashed kind.

And here's the publisher's information on Ryan Wood's book, which, for crashed UFOs devotees, makes for essential reading:

MAJIC EYES ONLY is the most authoritative and comprehensive chronicle ever published on the subject of worldwide UFO crashes and subsequent military retrievals from 1897 to the present. The author guides the reader through 74 UFO crash incidents supported by compelling evidence in the form of official documents, eyewitnesses and in some cases physical evidence.

Since 1984, multiple sources have leaked, revealed or discovered some 3,500 pages of UFO documents, hundreds classified Top Secret and linked to Majestic-12. These MJ-12 documents, coupled with the Leonard Stringfield data and strong investigations by other case experts, provide a powerful core of UFO crash incidents.

The idea that major governments have covered up the true nature of the UFO phenomenon for more than half a century through unprecedented secrecy, deception and intimidation strikes many reasonable citizens as preposterous. Yet, this book provides a wealth of evidence, including declassified and leaked government documents and credible eyewitness testimony, that supports the uncomfortable truth of this "preposterous" notion.

Majic Eyes Only is the Top Secret security classification for overwhelming proof of the most deeply held secret on the planet: we are not alone in the universe. Furthermore, several major governments have captured and exploited both extraterrestrial spacecraft and living aliens, for purposes that may sometimes defy understanding but which undoubtedly include the relentless quest for military supremacy and the preservation of society's established power structures.

On March 5, 1942 Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall created an inflection point in history by issuing a Top Secret memorandum to President Roosevelt that inaugurated one of the most secret enterprises the world has ever seen: the Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit (IPU). The existence of the IPU is not speculation; it has been acknowledged in several Freedom of Information Act requests. It was within the IPU that re-investigation of the 1897 Aurora, Texas UFO crash retrieval began, along with investigation of two UFO crashes that occurred in February 1942, one in the mountains of San Bernardino, California, and the other just off the Southern California coast - all of this years before Roswell.

MAJIC EYES ONLY is a landmark synthesis and review of every credible UFO crash retrieval event uncovered worldwide to date. Assembling data from his own research and numerous other investigators, including crash retrieval pioneer Leonard Stringfield, the author presents 74 UFO crashes from 1897 to the present, supported by compelling evidence in the form of official documents, eyewitnesses and in some cases physical evidence. Incidents do vary in quality, evidence, and therefore authenticity. However, any reader who starts from a neutral position will find, by the end of this book, that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that: 1) UFOs have crashed on earth, 2) governments have recovered and exploited these alien technology gifts and 3) most disturbing to a democratic free society, the "alien secret" is more important than constitutional or individual rights.

Neil Arnold - Reviewing TRMIB





Neil Arnold (pictured with me at the Center for Fortean Zoology's Weird Weekend in August 2009), author of such books as Monster!; The Mystery Animals of the British Isles: Kent; and Paranormal London - among others - reviews The Real Men in Black. In part, Neil says TRMIB is "...a fantastic book that breaks the mould." And here's where you can find the full review.

Killers on the Moor and MIB





If you're familiar with the books of Center for Fortean Zoology Director Jon Downes (and, if you aren't, you really should be!), you'll know that in a number of his books, Jon references a disturbing series of animal mutilations (specifically of ponies) that occurred on the mysterious wilds of Dartmoor, England in 1977.

And, it's a case that I touch upon too, in my latest book, The Real Men in Black. The reason: a weird spate of telephone interference (a classic facet of MIB phenomena) that hit certain players in the saga.

Well, I'm very pleased to say that a new book has just surfaced that addresses this very case, as well as the wider, worldwide animal mutilation puzzle.

Published by Book Guild Ltd, its title is Killers on the Moor: The Case of the Dartmoor Ponies and Beyond and is written by a guy named Mike Freebury, who - in one of those synchronistic events - happens to hail from my home-town of Walsall, England. And, it's a big book too: it's a hardcover production running at 400-pages.

As soon as I've read the book, I'll be reviewing it right here.

Here's the Amazon link to the book, and here's the description from the publisher:

"On Easter Monday 1977, a man and his family were enjoying a walk on Dartmoor in south-west England. As they approached a small remote valley below White Tor they were horrified to come upon the twisted bodies of four Dartmoor ponies. The ponies' necks and backs appeared to have been broken in what must have been a very violent attack.

"Worse was to come, when more dead ponies were found only a hundred yards away. In total fifteen animals were found dead and mutilated. The police and the RSPCA were called in, but despite detailed investigations were unable to give convincing accounts of what might have happened to the animals.

"Mike Freebury became interested in the case due to press coverage in 2000. He was to discover that horrific unexplained animal deaths and mutilations have been occurring all over the world for many years. As he became more fascinated by the phenomenon, and began to investigate incidents for himself, he somewhat reluctantly came to a startling conclusion. The mutilations appear to be a sampling programme by an extraterrestrial intelligence, and evidence is being systematically covered up and denied by government departments worldwide.

"Mike Freebury was born and brought up near Birmingham. He has enjoyed a career in advertising, construction and then manufacturing and is now finance manager for one of the oldest firms in the West Midlands.

"Mike is currently operations director of the Animal Pathology Field Unit (APFU), investigating animal mutilation cases throughout the UK and abroad. Mike and his wife Jill still live in Walsall, West Midlands and have two grown-up daughters."

Here's the link to the complete review.

MIB Origins

There's a tendency amongst many within Ufology to assume or conclude that the Men in Black surfaced when the modern era of Flying Saucers began in the summer of 1947. Maybe not. While reports of the MIB have certainly dramatically increased over the course of the last 60-years, there's evidence to suggest the phenomenon may be far, far older than most imagine - as my latest post at Mysterious Universe demonstrates...

Alien UFO Truth Review

The Real Men in Black is reviewed at Alien UFO Truth.

In part, the reviewer states:

"I read this book and could hardly lay it down. I feel very sure that once you read this book you will look at the whole 'Men in Black' thing much differently. Nick’s book answers many, many questions. It also brings up more. But it leaves very little room for doubt that there is much more than meets the eye going on!"
