what if they actually made MIB so that we would consider "those" as only part of Hollywood fiction?

There is a book I read called The Mothman Prophecies by John A Keel which was later turned into a crappy movie. Don't think I buy it really happened but it does make for very creepy read regardless. In the book sightings of MIB are referenced.
 
There really are a lot of different categories of MIB encounters, that kid of differ with the time period. Back in the 40's and 50's, they were basically just normal people with military credentials that silenced witnesses using either patriotism, or fear. After that, is when the weird ones come, where they were people, but maybe not exactly human, and the manner of dress, etc. was (by then) a bit antiquated... (and these used primarily fear and intimidation, to silence witnesses and seize evidence). I suspect that these days, we've likely gone back to the model of the 40's and 50's, and just use national security as the justification. Recent MIB cases other than this, are really, really rare. Most of them are far older accounts.

I've spoken a lot with Jenny Randles, probably one of the most passionate researchers on the MIB phenomenon. I don't necessarily agree with her conclusions all the time, but her books are certainly full of research on these cases.

Did u read the mothman book?
 
Yes, and I've read many of the newspaper articles, and other books that mentioned the case (though this was some years ago). It's definitely a strange one, nearly unique in UFO lore. It's still hard to even say it IS a UFO case...but has so many similarities, in spite of the differences.

It's more akin to the Jersey Devil type local legends than a UFO case....and yet the encounters are more like early UFO ones. I really don't think there's any connection to the bridge collapse and the sightings. This always seemed like just the author's fabrication not based on any evidence.

The book is far better than the film. Yea a bit far fetched but still makes for interesting read.
 
will prolly get my own copy,not any translated one,but in the original lingo.
