The directly copied information from http://http//www.ufopsi.com/articles/albertbender.html is now removed .the information from this website was important for my article so i just reffered from it .please do not delete it took  2 hours to make the article i will be disappointed very  much  if the article deleted  .the article will be very reliable for ufo geeks


 * The original sources that you used for the article were not reliable. Two of them were from the same main website and the other was a blog. Do you know of any reliable sources that talk about Bender's life? I have been working on editing the page, but I can only find a handful of good sources but they don't talk much about him. Thanks!

Photo is not Bender's father
The photo labeled Bender and his father is incorrect. The other man in the photo is Max Steiner, a jazz musician. Bender was the founder of the Max Steiner music society. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RobertoTenore (talk • contribs) 17:44, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Seriously strange to let his unproven claims stand in an Encyclopedia
In the paragraph titled Supernatural Encounters" Bender's claims are written as fact, and are uncontested and qualified only in partially. Considering how science almost completely disregards the claims made by ufologists, I wonder if this is really appropriate for an article in an Encyclopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Die-yng (talk • contribs) 19:50, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Albert K. Bender
Although I will not make an effort to edit the article, I will place a comment here to consider re: the history of the Men in Black. The first mention of MIB was connected to The Maury Island UFO Incident in 1947. Here is a link that discusses it. I won't try to edit the article about the Maury Island Incident either, as it is said it was a hoax. I disagree in that not enough was done to research the wiki. Initially, the witnesses said it was a joke but later, they recanted this and said that they were threated with their lives if they didn't refute their story. In addition, the Government said the B-25 bomber at McChord field was a "joy ride" by the pilots and then later said it was indeed on a mission to investigate Maury Is. and bring back debris (classified cargo) to Hamilton field Ca. that was collected. Thus, Maury Island is considered to be the origin of the MIB legend with Bender adding to it years later. I happen to live 10 miles west of where the B-25 crashed on Aug. 1, 1947. To me, Maury Island is a bigger story than even Roswell and preceded it by weeks. It was even three days earlier than Kenneth Arnold's sighting near Mt. Rainier when he coined the term "flying saucer." https://www.history.com/news/men-in-black-real-origins DarellPhillips (talk) 10:16, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
