ise；　most　of　these　people　had　heard　the　voices　late　at　night；　usually　waking　them　up　with　a　sharp　mand。　For　example；　a　man　in　the　Southwest　claimed　he　had　been　jarred　awake　on　several　different　nights　by　the　sound　of　a　deep　male　voice　ordering；　〃Wake　up；　number　491！〃　A　woman　in　Ohio　heard　the　voice　while　driving；　〃873。。。。　You　are　873。〃　And　another　woman　in　Kansas　wrote；　〃Please　tell　me　who　these　people　are　that　keep　reading　numbers　to　me。　They　sound　as　if　they　are　standing　right　next　to　me　but　there　is　no　one　there。〃
　　
　　Do　we　all　have　a　number　tattooed　in　our　brains？　Hardly。　There　are　three　billion　people　so　some　of　them　should　be　numbered　2；834；689；357。　But　all　of　the　numbers　that　have　e　to　my　attention　contain　only　two　or　three　digits。
　　
　　Another　version　of　this　phenomenon　are　the　Morse　code…like　beeps　that　blast　out　of　car　radios；　telephones；　and　TV　sets　when　UFOs　are　active。　On　January　31；　1968；　a　woman　in　California　called　me　long　distance　to　tell　me　of　a　string　of　unusual　events　around　her　home。　Her　phone　was　〃going　crazy；〃　the　house　lights　were　flashing　on　and　off　periodically　and　the　electricians　couldn't　find　the　source　of　the　problem；　and　other　weird　things　were　happening。　As　she　talked　I　recognized　certain　patterns　which　suggested　that　a　repeatable　experiment　might　be　possible。　So　I　gave　her　some　advice　which　would　have　sounded　insane　to　anyone　overhearing　the　conversation。　I　instructed　her　to　go　outside　at　exactly　9　P。M。　that　night　with　a　flashlight　and　if　she　saw　anything　in　the　sky　to　signal　to　it。
　　
　　The　next　day　she　called　me　back　excitedly。　Her　husband；　who　had　been　skeptical　of　the　whole　UFO　business；　had　been　converted；　she　announced；　with　delight。　She　had　followed　my　instructions　and；　sure　enough；　at　9　P。M。　that　night　a　large　orange　sphere　appeared　directly　over　her　home。　She　flashed　the　light　three　times　but　there　was　no　response　from　the　object。　After　a　few　moments　it　scurried　off。　She　and　her　husband　re…entered　the　house　where　the　television　was　on。　As　soon　as　they　entered　the　living　room　three　loud；　very　loud　beeps　shot　out　of　the　TV　set。　Her　husband　was　pletely　flabbergasted。
　　
　　I　have　given　the　same　crazy　advice　to　other　UFO　sighters；　always　with　similar　results。　Sometimes　after　watching　an　object　their　telephones　will　suddenly　ring　。。。　and　there　will　be　no　one　on　the　line。　Or　their　doorbells　will　ring　by　themselves。
　　
　　Obviously　these　things　are　manifestations　within　the　electro…magnetic　（EM）　spectrum。　The　voices；　however；　seem　to　e　from　a　more　mysterious　superspectrum。
　　
　　In　hypnosis　there　is　a　simple　technique　called　post…hypnotic　suggestion。　The　hypnotist　can　tell　his　subject　that　fifteen　minutes　after　he　es　out　of　bis　trance　he　will　suddenly　feel　an　impulse　to　climb　up　on　a　chair　and　crow　like　a　rooster。　When　the　subject　is　brought　out　of　his　trance　he　behaves　normally　for　fifteen　minutes；　then　he　suddenly　climbs　onto　a　chair　and　crows。　He　can't　explain　why　he　did　it。　It　seemed　like　a　rational　action　at　the　moment。
　　
　　There　is　a　kind　of　post…hypnotic　suggestion　involved　in　many　UFO　and　psychic　incidents。　The　witness　is　driving　along　a　road　late　at　night。　He　hears　a　beeping　sound　and　lapses　into　a　trance　。。。　as　if　he　had　been　preconditioned　to　lose　consciousness　at　the　sound　of　the　beep。　Later；　he　awakes　to　the　sound　of　another　series　of　beeps。　Now　he　finds　he　is　some　distance　from　his　original　point　and　he's　baffled　about　what　happened　in　the　intervening　minutes…　or　hours…for　he　can't　remember　a　thing。
　　
　　Several　variations　of　this　hypnosis…inducing　tactic　occur。　Some　witnesses　see　an　approaching　aerial　object　with　numbers　clearly　marked　on　it。　As　they　study　the　numbers　they　lapse　into　a　trance。　In　some　cases；　ancient　lettering　like　Greek　or　Chinese　appears　on　the　object。　The　effect　is　the　same。　Months；　even　years；　later　the　same　percipient　may　again　see　the　same　numbers　or　letters　on　an　object；　or　even　on　a　set　of　license　plates　or　a　sign；　and　again　falls　into　a　deep　trance。
　　
　　III
　　
　　The　U。S。　Air　Force　and　the　CIA　were　blamed　for　the　many　weird　telephone　problems　that　plagued　the　tiny　bands　of　UFO　investigators　around　the　country　in　the　1960s。　They　were　convinced　that　the　government　was　out　to　get　them。　But　these　things　have　been　happening　from　the　earliest　days　of　the　modern　UFO　age　when；　in　June　1947；　before　the　air　force　or　the　CIA　were　even　mitted　to　UFO　investigation；　pilot　Kenneth　Arnold　was　checking　into　the　Maury　Island　sightings　in　Taa。　He　and　a　fellow　pilot　ran　their　investigation　from　a　hotel　and　some　unidentified　person　repeatedly　called　the　local　newspapers　and　told　reporters　everything　that　was　transpiring　in　that　hotel　room。　Arnold　tore　the　place　apart　looking　for　hidden　microphones；　but　there　didn't　seem　to　be　any。
　　
　　The　official　air　force　report　on　the　sighting　of　a　Florida　scoutmaster；　Sonny　Desvergers；　in　1952；　states：　〃Captain　Corney　＇an　air　force　intelligence　officer＇　was　asked　about　the　facts　of　supposedly　anonymous　threatening　telephone　calls　that　Mr。　Desvergers　had　received。　He　stated　that　Desvergers　had　called　him　approximately　two　weeks　ago　and　stated　that　he　had　been　receiving　anonymous　threatening　telephone　calls　while　at　work　in　the　establishment　in　which　he　is　employed。　The　gist　of　the　calls　were　threats　telling　Desvergers　to　lay　off　of　his　story　and　that　if　he　didn't　he　would　be　sorry　and　several　other　things。〃
　　
　　Witnesses　to　landings　and　low…level　overflights　are　often　singled　out　for　harassment；　even　when　they　don't　report　their　sightings。　Publicized　contactees　like　Woodrow　Derenberger　receive　the　full　treatment。
　　
　　Like　many　sincere　contactees；　Woody　decided　to　write　a　book　about　bis　experiences　and；　like　most　contactees；　ended　up　paying　for　the　cost　of　printing　himself。　Contactee　books；　and　there　are　hundreds　of　them；　have　a　very　limited　fringe　market　of　only　two　or　three　thousand　people；　so　Madison　Avenue　publishers　understandably　give　them　short　shrift　In　Woody's　little　effort　he　stated：　（2）　
　　
　　
　　
　　＇2＇　Woodrow　W。　Derenberger；　with　Harold　W。　Hubbard；　Visitors　from　Lanulos　（New　York：　Vantage　Press；　1971）。　
　　
　　
　　
　　As　I　write　this　book；　I　keep　getting　phone　calls　warning　me　to　stop。　They　have　even　called　my　wife　at　her　place　of　employment；　telling　her　to　stop　me　or　they　will。　These　people　have　also　called　my　friends　making　the　same　threat。　I　have　no　way　of　knowing　who　these　people　are；　yet　they　are　calling　too　often　to　be　crank　calls。　Several　times　I　have　written　material　that　has　disappeared　from　my　home。　When　I　leave　home　for　any　reason；　I　always　lock　all　doors　and　windows；　yet　several　times　when　we　returned　home；　we　found　our　home　had　been　ransacked；　drawers　pulled　out；　papers　strewn　all　over　the　floor；　and　valuable　tapes　missing；　and　my　tape　recorder　broken。　。。。　I　have　mailed　letters；　dropped　personally　by　me　in　the　Post　Office　letter　box；　that　have　failed　to　reach　their　destination。
　　
　　After　Woody's　contact　became　widely　known；　two　gentlemen　dropped　into　the　appliance　store　where　he　worked　and　walked　directly　up　to　him。
　　
　　〃We　think　you　know　who　we　are；　Mr。　Derenberger；〃　they　said　flatly。　〃We'd　advise　you　to　forget　all　about　what　you've　seen。〃
　　
　　They　left　as　abruptly　as　they'd　arrived。　Woody　described　them　as　being　short；　stocky；　dressed　in　black　suits；　and　having　olive　plexions。　For　some　reason　he　concluded　the　Men　in　Black　were　really　from　the　Mafia。
　　
　　No　matter　where　he　moved…and　he　moved　several　times　in　1967…the　phone　pranksters　and　black　Cadillacs　managed　to　find　him；　he　claims。
　　
　　Meanwhile；　his　pretty　young　wife　and　their　two　children　also　met　Indrid　Cold　and　his　colleagues　from　the　planet　Lanulos。　Mrs。　Derenberger　was　frightened　of　them　and　felt　they　were　engaged　in　something　evil。　They　were　just　like　us；　she　told　me；　traveled　about　in　ordinary　automobiles；　and　were　probably　infiltrating　the　human　race　in　large　numbers。
　　
　　Woodrow　Derenberger's　story　troubled　me　from　the　outset；　and　for　many　reasons。　It　did　not　fit　the　mold　of　the　usual　UFO　contact　tale。　While　the　telepathy　element　was　mon　enough；　the　total　physicality　of　his　experiences　seemed　too　real。　They　defied　easy　classification　and　would　not　fit　into　any　of　the　pigeonholes　I　had　constructed。　Either　he　was　the　world's　most　convincing　liar；　and　had　somehow　trained　his　wife；　children；　and　friends　to　back　up　his　lies；　or　he　had　had　a　very　special　set　of　experiences　beyond　the　limits　of　ufology。
　　
　　By　March　1967　the　crowds　had　given　up　in　discouragement　and　Mr。　Cold　was　able　to　safely　land　his　spaceship　on　Woody's　farm。　Woody　went　aboard；　according　to　his　story；　and　took　a　flight　all　the　way　to　Brazil　and　back。　The　interior　of　the　spaceship　was　disappointingly　normal；　with　bunks　and　equipment　of　obvious　terrestrial　manufacture。　Later　that　year；　Derenberger　would　be　flown　to　Lanulos　。。。　a　pleasant　little　planet　where　the　people　ran　around　nearly　nude。　Most　contactees　who　claim　to　have　visited　other　planets；　and　there　are　many；　usually　described　a　futuristic　world。　There　was　something　mundane　about　Woody's　descriptions　of　that　nudist　colony　in　outer　space。　Too　mundane。
　　
　　In　his　later　adventures；　Woody　usually　met　the　spaceships　in　some　isolated　spot；　often　near　a　highway　under　construction…a　seemingly　trivial　detail　yet　one　that　is　most　significant。　Cold　or　one　of　his　partners　would　pick　Woody　up　in　a　Volkswagen　and　drive　him　to　the　rendezvous　point。
　　
　　His　world　was　now　thickly　populated　with　space　people　named　Kemi；　Clinnel；　Demo；　Ardo；　Kletaw；　etc。　They　assumed　real　personalities　and　were　very　real　to　him。　But　I　knew　that　in　most　UFO　contacts　the　entities　use　names　adopted　from　ancient　Greek　and　from　mythology；　so　I　was　puzzled　by　these　〃fairy〃　names。　However；　many　of　Woody's　experiences　had　definite　fairy　tale　overtones。　And　two　of　his　friends　had　a　classic　fairy　experience。　A　young　man　named　Jim　Hacket；　and　his　cousin　Daria　Sartor；　were　out　sky…watching　at　a　place　called　Bogle　Ridge　one　night　when　they　saw　a　group　of　red；　green；　and　white　lights　descend　from　the　sky　and　drop　into　a　gully　close　to　their　position。　A　moment　later　there　was　a　bright　flash　and　Jim　felt　his　face　tingling；　like　a　mild　electric　shock。　Then　he　heard　voices　outside　the　car　。。。　voices　which　Daria　could　not　hear。　Suddenly　there　was　a　sharp　rap　on　the　window；　causing　the　pair　to　jump　with　alarm。　A　man　holding　some　kind　of　red　light　stood　outside　the　car　and　Racket　received　a　mental　message　to　get　out　of　the　car。
　　
　　〃Is　she　your　wife？〃　the　man　asked。
　　
　　〃No；　she's　my　cousin。〃　
　　
　　The　man　told　him　to　tell　Daria　to　stay　in　the　car。　Then　he　led　young　Hacket　off　into　the　darkness。　When　he　returned；　his　shoes；　socks；　and　watch　were　missing。　He　said　the　man　had　taken　them。　It　had　been　raining　and　the　ground　was　muddy　so　his　shoes　had　been　coated　with　mud　and　water。
　　
　　Jim　and　Daria　visited　Woody　the　next　day　and　the　contactee　acpanied　them　to　the　same　spot　on　Bogle　Ridge　that　night。　Indrid　Cold；　Karl　Ardo；　and　Demo　Hassan　were　waiting　for　them。　Woody　explained　what　happened　and　the　spacemen　said　Hacket　had　encountered　〃humanoids〃　who　were　no…good　thieves。　He　was　lucky　he　had　lost　only　his　shoes；　socks；　and
