Katowice The next group of definitions takes us from “materialize” to “Menzelform.” One less familiar term here is “Men in Gray,” entities that John associates with the Romani. According to Gray Barker (in They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers), the word “Menzelform” was coined by Richard Hughes, publisher of the Flying Saucer News in the UK. The man credited with the term “Men In Black” should be Albert Bender, not Binder; maybe John’s typo was inspired by his friend Otto Binder.
I remember the “Mat” and “Demat” from his books. I don’t remember the Men in Gray. Did it ever make publication?

I don’t remember the Men In Gray either. It might have been a term that made it into some UFO newsletters and magazines, but didn’t really catch on.
