Gray Barker (1925-84) was an American writer best known for his books about UFOs & other paranormal phenomena. His 1956 book They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers introduced the notion of the Men in Black. The concept of the Men in Black has become a major part of UFO lore. The book inspired a fictional comic book written by Lowell Cunningham, which in turn inspired a popular film & animated tv series. Barker himself became the subject of two documentary films: Whispers From Space (1995), which was created by The Last Prom, & Shades of Gray (2008), which was directed by Bob Wilkinson. Recent evidence indicates that he was skeptical of most UFO claims & mainly wrote about the paranormal for financial gain. He sometimes participated in hoaxes to deceive serious investigators.
