Mysterious 'men in black' seen on Iowa roads

That might be the least spooky explanation when it comes to the mysterious “men in black” several people claim they've seen in an Iowa town. So many people have reported it that a local sheriff's office has publicly urged other witnesses to step forward.
The shadowy black trench coat-clad figure – or possibly figures – is typically seen standing on the roadside late at night or in the early morning hours, sometimes stepping onto the street when a vehicle passes.

“It was really a frightening experience to him,” she wrote.
Even the Muscatine County Sheriff’s Office is taking the reports seriously.

It would be extremely helpful to the Sheriff's Office, if you witness this type of activity, that you call 911 immediately.”
