Medvedev a new ‘Men in Black’ agent in the making? Russian premier jokes about aliens

MOSCOW – “Men in Black” agents K and J may be about to recruit a new Russian assistant: Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

Medvedev has spoken about top secret files on aliens that may have landed in Russia.

In footage recorded Friday after a television interview, the former president joked that each Russian leader gets two folders with information about extraterrestrials that visited our planet — and stayed here.

Unseen on camera footage, he is heard telling a Ren TV journalist he could not tell “how many of them are among us, because it may cause panic.” He said more details could be found in Barry Sonnenfeld’s “Men in Black” films.

During his 2008-2012 presidency, Medvedev showed a sense of humour slightly more subtle that Putin’s sometimes brutal jokes.
