sychic　abilities　came　from　space　intelligences。　Mr。　Owens　has　racked　up　an　impressive　record　predicting　the　outes　of　football　games。　Mr。　Geller；　an　Israeli　psychic；　became　world　famous　after　his　alleged　contact　with　a　flying　saucer　on　a　desert　in　the　Middle　East。　Both　men　have　been　examined　and　tested　by　armies　of　scientists　and　parapsychologists。
　　
　　I　have　probably　examined　and　befriended　more　UFO　contactees　than　anyone　else。　Usually　their　experiences　follow　certain　patterns　which　they　are　not　even　aware　of　at　the　time。　A　long　series　of　seemingly　unrelated　events　occur　prior　to　the　first　overt　contact　These　events　can　begin　in　childhood　and　span　many　years。　Then；　too；　most　contactees　have　active　or　latent　psychic　abilities　before　contact。　People　who　see　ghosts　or　religious　apparitions　have　the　same　patterns　as　the　UFO　contactees。　And；　in　fact；　the　apparitions　described　in　religious　〃miracles〃　usually　share　the　same　physical　characteristics　as　our　UFO　entities；　that　is；　long　fingers；　dusky　plexions；　pointed　features。
　　
　　The　flying　saucer　lore　of　the　past　twenty…seven　years　has　been　built　on　three　main　ponents：　（1）　the　sighting　reports；　usually　poorly　investigated　by　amateurs　and　believers；　or　based　entirely　on　fragmented　and　often　inaccurate　newspaper　stories；　（2）　the　testimony　of　the　contactees；　（3）　messages　received　through　spirit　mediums　and　ESP。　In　recent　years　a　new　element　has　been　added　by　the　few　scientists　pulled　into　the　controversy。　This　is　the　tiresome　use　of　probabilities　to　explain　that　there　must　be　zillions　of　other　planets　and　therefore　there　must　be　uncounted　numbers　of　inhabited　places　in　the　universe。　In　the　early　1960s　exobiology　became　the　new　scientific　rip…off。　Various　foundations　and　NASA　poured　millions　of　dollars　into　the　study　of　extraterrestrial　life。　Since　there　were　no　samples　available　for　study；　and　since　there　is　not　the　slightest　bit　of　evidence　that　even　a　single　planet　exists　in　any　other　star　system；　exobiology　was　not　an　easy　field。　Scientists　had　to　justify　their　enormous　expenditures　with　reams　of　speculative　papers。　We　do　not　even　have　enough　facts；　after　fifteen　years　of　study；　to　form　a　real　basis　for　the　coveted　probabilities。　If　Nick　the　Greek　were　asked　to　make　book　on　the　existence　of　extraterrestrial　life；　he　would　find　the　scientific　arguments　so　tenuous　that　the　odds　would　have　to　be　somewhere　around　a　trillion　to　one。　Of　the　nine　planets　in　our　own　solar　system；　only　three…Mercury；　Earth；　and　Mars…are　solid；　and　only　one　of　these　three　is　infested　with　life。　The　appearance　of　life　requires　a　long　list　of　environmental　and　chemical　conditions。　For　all　these　conditions　to　exist　simultaneously　on　a　single　planet　also　requires　a　whole　series　of　improbable　coincidences。
　　
　　Men　have　always　gazed　at　the　night　sky　and　dreamed　of　other　worlds。　Four　thousand　years　ago；　Enoch　became　the　first　space　traveler；　visiting　seven　worlds　or　planets　after　being　roused　from　his　sleep　by　angelic　spacemen。　Swedenborg；　the　great　Swedish　mathematician；　went　wandering　through　the　cosmos　in　the　1700s；　and　a　proper　Bostonian　named　William　Denton　was　given　a　guided　tour　of　Venus　in　the　1860s。　George　Adamski；　Howard　Menger；　and　several　others　visited　the　moon　in　the　1950s；　preceding　Neil　Armstrong　by　more　than　a　decade。　Menger；　a　New　Jersey　sign　painter；　brought　back　some　〃moon　potatoes〃　that　looked　like　rocks　。。。　and　they　didn't　cost　the　taxpayers　a　cent。　Adamski；　a　California　eccentric；　found　the　backside　of　the　moon　rich　in　vegetation　and　water。　Others　observed　cunningly　concealed　underground　cities　there。
　　
　　Still　others　have　traveled　to　scores　of　unknown　planets　in　distant　galaxies。　Planets　with　exotic…sounding　names　adopted　from　ancient　Greek；　just　as　most　of　the　entities　who　stop　lone　drivers　on　isolated　back　yards　claim　names　from　mythology。
　　
　　For　example；　on　Wednesday；　July　26；　1967；　Mrs。　Marts　De　Long　and　Michael　Kisner　were　driving　in　a　park　near　California's　Big　Tujunga　Canyon　when　they　heard　a　bodiless　voice　which　instructed　them　to　watch　for　something　unusual。　There　was　a　flash　of　light　in　the　sky　and　a　glowing　disc　twenty　feet　in　diameter　appeared。　Soon　they　were　chatting　with　〃Kronin；〃　master　of　the　Kronian　race。　He　was　very　tall　and　both　boneless　and　eyeless；　and　said　he　was　〃a　space　robot　encased　in　a　time　capsule。〃
　　
　　As　soon　as　Mrs。　De　Long　reached　her　home　after　the　visit　her　phone　rang。　It　was　Kronin。　She　later　recorded　several　conversations　with　him　in　which　he　explained　the　problems　of　the　universe。　She　had　never　heard　of　Cronus；　the　Roman　god　of　time。
　　
　　Another　entity　popular　in　occult　circles　for　centuries　is　Ashtoreth；　the　Phoenician　goddess　of　love。　A　character　called　Ashtar　has　been　municating　with　UFO　fans　for　years；　ing　through　worldwide　stances；　on　Ouija　boards；　and　through　mental　telepathy。　Ashtar　is　a　big　cheese　in　the　Intergalactic　Federation。　Contactees　have　churned　out　dozens　of　books　filled　with　his　messages。
　　
　　A　woman　on　Long　Island　had　an　encounter　with　an　olive…skinned　gentleman　in　a　greenish　suit　in　May　1967　and　his　name　caused　me　some　problems。　He　called　himself　Aphloes。　I　finally　figured　out　that　it　was　from　aphlogistic；　a　word　derived　from　Greek　meaning　〃a　lamp　giving　light　without　flame。〃
　　
　　Woodrow　Derenberger's　Mr。　Cold　did　not　fit　this　pattern。　In　fact；　the　name　made　me　suspicious　of　Woody's　story　and　if　I　had　not　talked　with　others　who　had　shared　similar　experiences　on　the　same　night；　I　might　have　rejected　Derenberger　outright　because　of　it。
　　
　　In　earlier　times；　fairies；　demons；　and　even　human　witches　practicing　their　Black　Sabbath　rites；　chose　gravel　pits；　garbage　dumps；　cemeteries　and　crossroads　for　their　appearances。　Modern　hairy　monsters　and　UFOs　select　the　same　sites；　and　quite　a　few　UFO　contacts　have　occurred　near　crossroads　or　on　highways　still　under　construction　at　points　where　old　highways　once　intersected。　Derenberger's　first　contact　with　Cold　was　on　a　newly　pleted　highway　yards　from　an　old　intersection。
　　
　　Across　the　river；　the　vast　〃Indian〃　mounds　of　Ohio　stand　as　mute　testimony　of　some　earlier　culture　almost　identical　to　the　culture　which　constructed　the　great　mounds　of　Great　Britain。　The　latter　were　joined　by　straight　tracks　or　〃leys〃　which　formed　a　plicated　grid　system。　I　wondered　if　a　similar　ley　grid　may　not　have　once　existed　in　West　Virginia　and　I　studied　aerial　photos　and　old　maps　looking　for　such　a　system。　There　are　tiny　traces　。　here　and　there；　but　modern　fanners　and　builders　have　destroyed　most　of　the　old　artifacts；　just　as　they　had　destroyed　a　great　many　of　the　mounds；　stone　towers；　etc。；　that　stood　on　this　continent　when　the　first　Europeans　arrived。
　　
　　Had　Woody　been　stopped　on　a　cross…point　of　some　old　ley　network？　The　only　clue　lies　in　Mr。　Cold's　uncharacteristic　selection　for　a　name。　In　his　study　of　the　British　leys；　The　View　Over　Atlantis；　John　Michell　stated：
　　
　　A　peculiar　feature　of　the　old　alignments　is　that　certain　names　appear　with　remarkable　frequency　along　their　routes。　Names　with　Red；　White　and　Black　are　mon；　so　are　Cold　or　Cole；　Dod；　Merry　and　Ley。
　　
　　It　would　be　in　keeping　with　the　twisted　logic　of　the　entities　to　call　attention　to　a　West　Virginia　ley　system　by　staging　their　landings　at　specific　points　along　the　grid　and　adopting　names　like　Cold。　Apparently　this　is　exactly　what　they　did　in　1966…67。
　　
　　So　far　as　I　know；　Cold　and　his　mischievous　panions　never　presented　themselves　to　other　contactees　。。。　or　they　changed　their　names　to　suit　each　occasion。　This；　too；　is　a　break　with　tradition。　Ashtar；　Orthon；　and　several　others　with　names　that　sound　like　synthetic　fabrics　have　contacted　thousands　of　people　all　over　the　world　in　the　past　twenty　years。
　　
　　In　September　1973；　just　before　the　great　October　UFO　wave；　posters　sprang　up　all　over　Atlanta；　Georgia；　proclaiming　the　eminent　arrival　of　the　space　people。　A　Georgia　psychic　was　in　mental　munication　with　Zandark；　who　identified　himself　as　〃a　member　of　the　United　Cosmic　Council；　a　mander　in　Chief　in　Charge　of　Directing　Technical　Transmissions　Via　Mental　Telepathy　or　the　bination　of　Mediumistic　Telepathy　Under　the　Direction　of　the　Confederation　of　Cosmic
