List of visits by men in black
The list of visits by Men in Black catalogues alleged post-experience visits by Men in Black (MIB) — dark-suited figures who reportedly call on witnesses, contactees, and researchers shortly after a UFO sighting, abduction, or public disclosure to demand silence, confiscate or demand the return of evidence, and exhibit strange behavior. Each entry is an alleged Men in black visit; see that article and Men in black for background. This list is preliminary and seeded from the most frequently cited cases.
