Case · UFO Afrinews No 20, July 1999
George Smyth's three visitors (book review retelling)
1968 ยท George Smyth's house, United States, United States
Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.
What was reported
Both books discuss the May 1968 case investigated by John Robinson. Three men visited George Smyth and afterwards stood outside his house for a long time. When Smyth described them minutely, Robinson at once recognised the descriptions as three leading ufologists, John Keel, Gray Barker and James Moseley, none of whom Smyth had ever heard of. All three were subsequently proved conclusively to have been somewhere else at the time. Wintle offers it as the extraordinary doppelganger element that makes MIB reports so hard to place within either the government or the supernatural explanation.
What Hind made of it
