CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (AP) - A late West Virginia author whose UFO writings inspired the "Men in Black" movies is the subject of an upcoming documentary.
Clarksburg native Gray Barker wrote extensively about the infamous Flatwoods Monster, Mothman and other strange subjects -- fueling America's fascination with flying saucers in the 1950s. He died in 1984 at the age of 59.
West Virginia filmmaker Bob Wilkinson says Barker was a complex character.
David Houchin -- a librarian at the Clarksburg-Harrison Public Library -- says Barker didn't believe in these conspiracies, but would simply write about it and pass it off as fact. The library has a room dedicated to Barker's life and writings.
