Skilled Investigator
Fellows: In 1972 I was working as a Tower Operator on the New Haven Line of Penn Central, usually in Bridgeport CT or closeby. I worked with a nice fellow, who was a close associate of AL Bender, not the robot from Futurama, rather the man who invented MIB's, among other things.
Atrie Lynch was old school Railroad, but he was a big time UFO buff, so often we would talk for hours about this subject, it took a year or two, but he finally opened up about Bender and the MIB and other manifestations of a similar nature.....All of this was facsinating to me as a Vietnam aviator and National Guard Officer, especially the high strangeness factor.....In the military I was told, "Do not get involved with this (UFO's) as it is too wierd and squirrelly...." Well, since I was not on active duty, why not....
I seems that Art Lynch was present when Albert Bender had some of the encounters....What Artie had to say was most enlightening....For example, Art is at Albert's and the mailman delivers a package of some sort, Albert accepts it, closes the door, and stands catatonic for about 5 minutes or so, and then just like throwing a switch, start talking about the visit of the MIB, and some elaborate tale of abduction and going thru tunnels and such.....Artie told me that was why he quit the whole Flying Saucer thing, it was just too wierd for him to take.....After Art read the books, he was even more put off by the subject, I was the first person on the RR he ever told about this, and most likely the only one. All I can do is report what Art told me, as he is long gone to the big RR in the sky, as is Albert Bender and most of the people from that generation of UFO Buffs....
I wonder if anyone else has had such an experience with this sort of thing?
