John Keel was een professionele journalist en auteur, bekend om zijn onderzoek naar ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten, het Mothman-fenomeen en andere paranormale onderwerpen. Zijn werk verbond hedendaagse UFO-meldingen op unieke wijze met oude folklore en religieuze ontmoetingen, en bood zo een controversiële maar invloedrijke kijk op de ufolgie. Keel wordt geprezen voor het populariseren van het concept van "mannen in het zwart" en voor het postuleren van een verband tussen UFO's en psychische verschijnselen. Hij omarmde de term "Fortean" om zijn bredere interesse in onverklaarbare gebeurtenissen te beschrijven.
