The men in black are a topic that is closely related to the UFO phenomenon, but what is their origin and how are they related to the mothman?

The Men in Black turned up during the famous “Mothman” sightings at Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in the 1960s. The Mothman Prophecies movie was
based on the book of the same title written by legendary Fortean author, John Keel, and told the story of this ominous, glowing-eyed, winged creature
seen in and around Point Pleasant in the mid-to-late 1960s. Despite its cartoon-style name, Mothman was a very unsettling, shadowy thing that haunted
the town’s old TNT plant and hung around in the shadows, like some grim-reaper-style thing.

Men in black have been popping up, usually whenever someone claims to have recently sighted a UFO. Shortly after each sighting, the person in question
is visited by strange men who usually wear black suits, black ties, and white shirts.The details and motives sometimes vary, but even stranger are the
variations in the descriptions of the men in question. While some tales simply describe them as cold, aloof gentlemen wearing black suits, others say
that they get an uncanny vibe from those who visit them. The stories tell of men who are unnaturally bald, men who talk in an almost robotic voice and
wear lipstick over lipless mouths. Some suggest that they are from another world, disguising themselves as humans to learn our ways. Others believe
that they are experimental cyborgs in the employ of the government. The truth behind the men in black is still shrouded in mystery, and we may never
know the identity of these strange stalkers.

Does anyone know earlier mentionings of the MIB? Any recent cases that are worth mentioning?
