Bender ran a saucer-research club from Bridgeport, Connecticut, and closed it abruptly in 1953, later writing in Flying Saucers and the Three Men (1962) that three visitors had warned him off. Gray Barker built the Men in Black legend on his story. He died in 2016. The corpus mentions him as the origin of the motif.
