SILENCERS

SILENCERS, usually known as men in black – a term popularized by John Keel – are one of the most mysterious matter related to the conspiracy theories and plots. Many versions about their identity have circulated during last 70 years. Keel who was engaged in paranormal phenomena was initially hopeful that he could validate the prevailing extraterrestrial visitation hypothesis but after a year of investigations he concluded that the extraterrestrial hypothesis was untenable.

“I abandoned the extraterrestrial hypothesis in 1967 when my own field investigations disclosed an astonishing overlap between psychic phenomena and UFOs (...) The objects and apparitions do not necessarily originate on another planet and may not even exist as permanent constructions of matter. It is more likely that we see what we want to see and interpret such visions according to our contemporary beliefs.” — John Keel
