On June 16, 2017, a woman driving home late at night in Derry, New Hampshire, experienced a strange encounter after her car began making unusual sounds. Upon stopping and opening her hood, she was approached by three individuals dressed in black suits who exited a black car. The figures had pale, glowing eyes and included a tall man wearing a top hat, a medium-sized individual, and a smaller figure resembling a child. They claimed to be United States citizens who walk among people and invited her to join them aboard their supposed ship, even asking if she would consider giving up her soul, a proposal she firmly declined before they left.
The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) investigated this case, designated #127883, and classified it as "Unknown – Other" due to the peculiar nature of the encounter and lack of physical evidence. MUFON noted the typical elements associated with Men in Black reports, such as the black car and the unsettling behavior of the entities. The organization highlighted the importance of witness testimony in these cases and offered resources for those who believe they have had similar experiences. MUFON continues its independent research efforts, relying on volunteers and public reports rather than government funding.
This case exemplifies ongoing themes within unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and alien encounter narratives where unknown entities allegedly interact with humans in ambiguous and sometimes threatening ways. The Men in Black phenomenon has historical roots in UFO folklore, often involving attempts to intimidate witnesses into silence. This particular incident raises questions about the nature of such encounters, the psychological impact on witnesses, and the broader implications for understanding possible extraterrestrial or interdimensional visitors. MUFON’s emphasis on documentation and support underscores the continuing effort to bring clarity and rigor to an area often clouded by speculation and fear.
