ly the dogs may have served some other purpose altogether 。。。 a purpose that might turn our hair gray instantly if we knew the full details。
In messages passed along to Italian contactee Eugenio Siragusa； the mischievous entities have tried to explain their 〃volumetric logic〃 in cosmic double…talk。 Dr。 Jacques Vallee has called it 〃metalogic；〃 suggesting that the entities have a logic system quite different from ours and when they try to translate things on our level their statements e out absurd。 He does not consider their need for deceit which is based upon their urge to manipulate us through beliefs and what the British call 〃acceptances。〃 Once Woodrow Derenberger accepted Indrid Cold's existence； and the existence of Lanulos； his view of reality could be manipulated to include those beings and places。
In March 1967； a truly astonishing UFO 〃attack〃 took place in West Virginia； apparently supporting the vampiric theories I was entertaining at the time。 While other UFO investigators had been collecting endless descriptions of things seen in the sky； I was out examining dead animals in remote fields； pondering the real meaning behind the bloodless carcasses。
On the night of March 5； a Red Cross Bloodmobile was traveling along Route 2； which runs parallel to the Ohio River。 Beau Shertzer； twenty…one； and a young nurse had been out all day collecting human blood and now they were heading back to Huntington； West Virginia； with a van filled with fresh blood。 The road was dark and cold and there was very little traffic。 As they moved along a particularly deserted stretch； there was a flash in the woods on a nearby hill and a large white glow appeared。 It rose slowly into the air and flew straight for their vehicle。
〃My God！ What is it？〃 the nurse cried。
〃I'm not going to stick around to find out；〃 Shertzer answered； pushing his foot down on the gas。
The object effortlessly swooped over the van and stayed with it。 Shertzer rolled down his window and looked up。 He was horrified to see some kind of arm or extension being lowered from the luminous thing cruising only a few feet above the Bloodmobile。
〃It's trying to get us！〃 the nurse yelled； watching another arm reach down on her side。 It looked as if the flying object was trying to wrap a pincers…like device around the vehicle。 Shertzer poured on the horses but the object kept pace with them easily。 Apparently they were saved by the sudden appearance of headlights from approaching traffic。 As the other cars neared； the object retracted the arms and hastily flew off。
Both young people rushed to the police in a state of hysteria。 The incident was mentioned briefly on a radio newscast that night but was not picked up by the newspapers。
In cases like this we have to ask： Did the UFO really intend to carry off the Bloodmobile？ Or was it all a sham to 〃prove〃 the UFO's interest in blood。 Later I tried to check to find out if any Bloodmobiles had actually vanished anywhere。 The Red Cross thought I was a bit nuts。
But I often found myself seriously wondering if we only hear about the people who get away！

A few nights after the remarkable Bloodmobile incident； Point Pleasant police officer Harold Harmon was making a routine patrol through the dismal； unlit TNT area when a dark object hovering a few feet above a small pond caught his eye。
〃It was definitely a solid machine of some kind；〃 he told me later。 〃I could even see what appeared to be windows in it。 It rocked unevenly like a boat hitting waves； and then it floated silently away over the trees。〃
Another nationwide UFO wave was underway that March； but the now…jaded national news media ignored it。
Scientists from the newly missioned Colorado University UFO project trotted around the country trying to investigate new reports while the project's head； Dr。 Edward U。 Condon； plained that it was like a fire department that answered only false alarms。 That spring some of the scientists spent weeks in the Harrisburg； Pennsylvania； area observing the 〃meandering nocturnal lights〃 that busied themselves there nightly。 Their learned conclusion was that the Pennsylvanian skies were 〃most remarkable。〃
Ships in the Atlantic were reporting huge luminous 〃cigars〃 discharging small globes of light which sailed toward New York and Long Island。 And on Long Island and neighboring Connecticut； those globes were cutting nightly capers。 During my frequent treks out to Long Island； I saw several of the objects myself and I collected some eyewitness testimony that boggled my already much…boggled mind。 One family of seven people swore they had seen a circular object land near a wooded area on Long Island。 They stopped their car to watch and were astonished when they saw two figures； normal…human…sized beings； exit through a door in the object as a large black car crossed the field and stopped nearby。 The two beings got into the car and it drove off。 The object took off quickly and disappeared into the night sky。 Similar incidents had been reported in South America； France； and England； but this was the first time I had e across one in the United States。 The family was terrified。 They knew they should report it to someone but they kept silent until they heard me on a radio program a few days later。
Meanwhile； the Ohio valley was lit up by these things nightly； from Cairo； Illinois； in the south； where the Ohio River linked with the Mississippi； to the northernmost tip of the river in Pennsylvania。
On March 12； 1967； a woman in Letart Falls； Ohio； was driving home from church at 11：30 P。M。； acpanied by her twenty…year…old daughter； when； as they rounded a corner in a wooded area； a huge white thing appeared directly in front of their car。 They said it had curved wings about ten feet wide。 There was a head on the creature and it appeared to have very long hair。 It was in view of their headlights for several seconds before it flew upward and vanished from sight。 The witnesses were very religious and assumed they had seen an angel； or even Jesus Christ himself。 After their sighting their telephone went haywire and their television was suddenly subjected to heavy interference。 I found a number of UFOs had been seen in the Letart Falls area； with concentrations around a large gravel pit there。
Sightings in the Northeast were keeping me busy at that time。 But I talked with Mary Hyre frequently。 She was receiving more UFO reports than she could print and some other strange things were happening in Point Pleasant。 Three very tall； dark…plexioned （not Negroid） men were causing the local police some consternation。 These men knocked on doors late at night； purportedly selling magazines though we couldn't find anyone who had ordered subscriptions from them。 They spoke fluent； unaccented English and were described as 〃good…looking〃 with heavily tanned skin。 Their height and broadness impressed the witnesses the most。 Although these men continued to appear throughout the region for a month； Mrs。 Hyre and the police could not find out where they were staying。 They were alw
