Ep. 71 The Men in Black: The Maury Island Incident

In this episode of Kraken Cans Cast, we dive into the Men in Black, starting with their first known appearance tied to the 1947 Maury Island incident—a bizarre UFO encounter involving strange debris, shadowy warnings, and a trail of fear that set the tone for every MIB story that followed.

We break down who (or what) the Men in Black are, their unnerving appearance, their oddly stiff behavior, and why witnesses consistently report the same details across decades. Government agents? Interdimensional enforcers? Something pretending to be human just well enough to pass?

To set the mood, we crack open Alien Church by Tired Hands Brewing—a hazy, otherworldly IPA that feels right at home in an episode about cosmic intimidation and reality not working the way it should.

From early UFO lore to modern encounters, this episode explores why the Men in Black remain one of the most unsettling figures in paranormal history—and why, once you notice them, you might already be too late.
