Renāla Khurd In the second part of this “Special Report,” intended for other researchers rather than for publication, John lists more UFO sightings, contact reports, odd visitors, strange footprints, and fires around Point Pleasant. He visits Woodrow Derenberger with Gray Barker, and tries to figure out why the local Naval Station is stockpiling slag. Point Pleasant was certainly a hotbed of weirdness in 1967.
Thanks. Another intriguing read.

Is this the first mention of Ingrid Cold by Keel?

Well, it’s an early one. He says that Derenberger’s story has already been publicized, so it’s probably not the first one.

[…] technology, we relied on clear witness testimony to feed our hunger for more illumination. This Special Report on Incidents in Ohio and West Virginia caters to that need, and it’s an enjoyable stroll through ufology’s past. […]

I think Woodrow Derenberger is one of the last of the “1950’s” contactees who met human looking aliens and took bizarre trips to planets. After that we seemed to enter the phase of the greys. The phrase “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma” sums up these accounts quite accurately. Now we have the history channel and ufo conventions feeding into what the public wants to see and here and pay for. I’m really grateful we had a reporter like John Keel at the right time to document events and not try to feed the public tabloid ufology.

Nice to see the original notes for tales used in “The Mothman Prophecy”
