The MIB I have encountered recently in casual passing were all plainclothes, off the clock and just grabbing a cup of coffee. No big thing for any of us involved at the time. I thought it was important to highlight that not ALL individuals working "behind the scenes" on these projects are cold, ruthless and intimidating persons/entities.

Some claim the Classic MIB have inter or extra-dimensional capabilities....which is kinda like the Agents abilities in the Matrix series.
Not everyone needs to be Neo. Not everyone WANTS to be "liberated" from the Matrix. Personally, I'd have punched Morpheus in the nose if he had pulled that whole "down the rabbit hole - you're stuck with the decision now" stunt on me. Bah. Hero's Journey movies. So it goes.
While I have no direct encounters with "old school" MIB agents that I can consciously recall, it would....based on the various transcriptions and gleanings that arise when reading civilian reports of encounters....seem that they are actively trying to protect humanity from what may - (or may not be) - genuine hostile or purely experimental alien or inter/extra-dimensional entities.
Please bear in mind, I don't know any of this as absolute fact, it's just the impression I seem to get the more I look into these reports.
I had an encounter back in 2003 with two lifeforms, it's available in RATS if anyone is interested. So yeah, I have a bit of a vested interest in this. More than I disclosed in that thread, but I'm not here to toot my own horn and expose myself to unwanted attentions from crazy UFO cultists.
I never posted the follow up to what happened the day after because it was somewhat scary and I don't like reliving that ordeal in my mind. I don't fear any sort of ramification or contact from disclosing those details. I prefer not to because I am well aware how "some" people would take that information and run absolutely wild with it in all the wrong directions.
For heavens sake - there are still some folks out there who would shoot first and ask questions later if a being showed up on their lawns. I mean, come on - can you blame the MIB for wanting to prevent the general public from inducing mass hysteria within their communities?
I can't blame 'em one damn bit.
The following video is a great example of how fear can be synthetically generated on the topic:
Spooky, errie music. Suspicious treatment of the entire MIB phenomenon and the call from the guy on the Art Bell Show just broke my heart. For whatever reason, he was only able to operate with part of the whole picture - but he was scared out of his wits. You remember the Orson Wells "War of the World" debacle all those decade ago. When people panic it spreads like wildfire. No wonder they cut the transmission. I'm sure the caller felt he was doing the right thing, but...yeah. Panic is never pretty.
The dude who had the re-siding done to his house....oi - don't get me started on that guy. I'm sure he's a swell person and all but - sheesh! - If there were "strange markings" on the side of the house after an experience - why the heck didn't he didn't he photograph those markings? Why just complain about the free re-siding job? Jeepers, some people.
When it comes to the subject of Aliens and UFO's in general - there is still a large percentage of the population that reacts from a primal center of their brain, instinctively and sometimes without better judgement. Sometimes those instincts can prove valuable, but most of the time it just creates further misinformation and wild fear-based speculation because most civilians and general populace aren't trained to deal with the "strange and unusual" in a logical and impartial manner.
Not to mention, some folks out there still really enjoy being the center of attention with the wildest story to tell around the campfire. Some will actively lie through their teeth for attention and to satisfy some deep rooted reason embedded in the framework within their psychological makeup.
If old school MIB are highly telepathic, it would explain why they're chosen for certain operations...they can weed out the bull# artists quickly. If they are the unblinking sort...it shows extreme mental focus and concentration. I can understand how those qualities might seem "unusual" to most folks, but for me....eh....it just seems to make sense.
Plus, I personally think Old School MIB fashion sense is completely off the hook. Classic, no frills "we mean business" dress. I totally respect anyone who can pull that look off with class.

Don't forget the superintelligent shades of blue and hyperdimensional thought forms.

How bizarre - watching that video made me remember a dream I had last night, which I'd totally forgotten. The video shows the time machine as having a sort of diamond gear stick handle - in my dream I was shown the largest diamond ever found, and was invited to inspect it closely. Within the main shape (it was rectangular, the size of a wardrobe lying flat on the floor, perhaps two metres long) there were dozens of bizarre vortices, little upside-down whirlpools spaced regularly throughout its structure. I don't remember anything else about the dream.
Synchronicity is a marvellous thing - if I'd not watched your video today, I might never have remembered that dream.
Perhaps the point, is that we should pay careful heed to what we all discuss & when we discuss it, because clues might rest in the very fabric of our synchronised thought-forms.

The MIBs could well have been the tactical response team, Human or otherwise, who literally needed to shield us from the harmful effects of what took place with all the magical/technological shenanigans of the late nineteenth & early twentieth century. Their scary demeanour & strange behaviour could just be part of the uniform of those who hold that the darkness should stay chained. Heck, they might have been angels for all we really know.
