Keel argued that UFOs, monsters and apparitions were faces of one phenomenon that adapts to the observer and conceals itself, and he coined the term 'Men in Black' as it is now used. He died in 2009. Guests on the channel cite him with Jacques Vallée when they describe the phenomenon's 'trickster' quality.
