The Original Men In Black
This featured book has been sold, not too long after its posting here, it is no longer available. We furnish this for "book review" type purposes.
They call them the MIB. They made a movie. It was successful, then they made another. It was successful. There was an X-Files episode, with cameo performance by two TV personalities: Jesse Ventura and Alex Trebeck, who dressed in black suits and drove around what looks like a massive black vintage Cadillac.
It all started with this 1958 book. We read it years ago, thought it was too sinister and bleak to finish. And then we found out recently that the whole book was itself a parody, or satire. We came across a copy not too long ago, click the picture of the book if you want to know more. The dust cover (which we do not have) showed the silhouette of three dark suited figures (with hats!) who supposedly would come calling on "ufo researchers", to check up on them.
But the book is written with a straight face, in and authoritative, reportorial style. And if anything, it challenged the prevailing mythos of the 50s among some saucer groups that the aliens were not a world-destroying menace, as was depicted in the movies, but a gentler and kinder "space brothers." They were not abducted, as the experience is outlined now, but rather they were willing travelers to exotic places like Venus and Mars.
Thousand of people would gather together to talk and meet. If you want to explore about this interesting sub-culture of the 50s, you can look up George Van Tassel and the Integratron, a building constructed out in the California desert. There are some newsreels of the times of the thousands of people who gathered there to share their beliefs and their experiences.
Charles Lingford, one of the earliest entities to make contact with Probert. He was at one time a dancer and entertainer, and has a decided sense of humor. He now occupies himself mainly with music and painting, along with scientific and philosophic matters, on “the other side,” where we are assured exist great libraries and other impressive sights.
Saucerians, according to these informants, are not interplanetary visitors, as we would ordinarily consider that principle, but rather superior entities who exist in other dimensions of matter—a fourth dimension, if you choose to call it that. The BSRA prefers to call these entities “etherians” and their saucers “ether ships.”
it is difficult for the “controls,” as the ghostly communicators are known, to explain such a complicated principle; in reading their messages one is not so sure that they, themselves, can.
Because etheric matter, utterly unlike our matter, is subject to the play of subtle forces, as the power of the mind, Layne further adds that most of the saucers are constructed simply by thinking about them.
Where do the etherians come from? Since their world can be considered coexistent with our own, maybe one is right there in the room with you now, on the bus, or wherever you happen to be reading this. But many of them originate not on Venus (as we would normally consider that planet as a physical state), but on the etheric counterpart of Venus. They also come from other planets, and from even beyond the Milky Way, considering these locations on the same non-materialistic basis.
Traveling such vast distances faster than even the speed of light is no trick at all, for they can transport themselves through space by merely believing they are at some particular location, and willing the fact into existence, so to speak.
This is akin to, though not quite the same thing, as teleportation, which some mediums have made graphically convincing, at least to some people. By the phenomenon of teleportation, an object, such as a vase for instance, can be made to vanish from one place and turn up some other place instantaneously, or so say the mediums. Scientifically it might be stated the atoms of the vase are disintegrated at one location and then reassembled in the identical pattern at some other location through some kind of power possessed by the mediums.
How the etherians can travel vast interstellar distances quicker than you can say “flying saucer”’ is enlarged upon by Layne, who points out that to these beings time and space are meaningless.
