Unsolved Mysteries Clips: Men in Black

This is an 8-minute or so clip from the original Unsolved Mysteries, hosted by Robert Stack. It's about the ongoing mystery of Men in Black, mysterious strangers often associated with UFO sightings. MIBs are one of the most intriguing mysteries of the last 60 years or so as the questions about them could be endless: are they government agents? Are they extraterrestrials in human disguise? Are they just dudes who like to wear black and mess with people who claim to have seen UFOs? They are not Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, so just put that right out of your head now, you blog reader, you.

What--or who--ever they are, they often "generate" (in the words of one interviewee in this segment) a "sinister, evil nature."

Men in Black reports seem to have diminished over the years, but UFO reports still hit the news on a regular basis. It may be the MIBs gave up trying to quiet folks and went back to the mothership. If they ever existed at all.

The show has been re-packaged with Dennis Farina hosting and still airs on Lifetime each weekday at 4 and 5 p.m. ET.
