There are a slightly alarming number of reports of "Men in Black".

Stories vary, with the men sometimes appearing to be some kind of government official (albeit, not a very subtle one) or an actual alien (similarly unsubtle, but they have the excuse of not being from Earth).

This is one story from Reddit user MY_SH*T_IS_PERFECT:

So my dad was in his teens. He's out in his driveway for whatever reason, doing whatever people do when they live in a woodsy rural area.

Suddenly, this big, black car pulls into his driveway. Tinted windows, completely black. My Dad just kind of watches it pull in, not sure what to think.

[...] The door opens and out steps a super tall, fair-faced white man. He has blonde hair, an extremely well-tailored black suit, and black sunglasses on. Right away, my Dad could see there was something off about him. He looks too perfect. Flawless skin, a child-like smile, and very overdressed for a hot summer day. He looks distinctly out of place.

The man walks up to my Dad and asks for his name. My Dad (around 15 at the time) asks him why he wants to know. The man smiles and explains that he just wants to ask him a few questions and he means no harm. Bemused, my Dad agrees, but he's still wary of this strange man.

First, the tall white dude asks my Dad if he lives here [...]The man has a completely relaxed, non-confrontational tone, and seems almost giddy - like he was really excited to be having this conversation. His childish, overzealous grin hadn't faded in the least. He asks my Dad if he had seen, felt, or heard anything that he felt was outside of the ordinary. My Dad said sometimes, and again asked why he wanted to know.

The man just kept grinning, and by now my Dad was feeling pretty comfortable. He had never seen this guy before in his life. He didn't appear to be any kind of government agent - his behavior was far too unusual.

Suddenly, the man's demeanor completely changes. His grin disappears and he looks worried. Without so much as a goodbye, he opens his car door, gets inside and drives away - still making no noise at all.

Even weirder, OP's mother apparently saw the same guy 30 years later.

Men in black stories pop up all over the place, but it's difficult to believe that any kind of government agent would really be so unsubtle.
