Today In UFO History - The Grinning Man (Who Didn't Actually Grin) / Ingrid Cold
November 2, 1966
1/ 7:25 p.m. Woodrow Derenberger is driving his panel truck home to Parkersburg, West Virginia, on Interstate 77 when a low-flying dark object
2/about 35 feet wide cuts in front of him and forces him to stop. It hovers a foot above the ground, only 20 feet ahead. The object has a profile similar to a kerosene lamp chimney flattened on the bottom side. A door opens and a smiling man of dark complexion descends, wearing a
3/ topcoat (“blue and quite shiny, having a glistening effect”) over shiny blue trousers. Without opening his mouth, which bears a fixed grin, he addresses Derenberger telepathically, asking him to open his window. For the next 10 minutes he conducts a telepathic conversation,
4/first asking Derenberger’s name and saying that his own is “Indrid Cold” from a planet called Lanulos in the “Ganymede galaxy.” He tells Derenberger not to think of him as an alien and concludes by saying, “We will see you again.” After admitting Mr. Cold, the UFO rises
5/vertically and disappears. A truck driver named Walter Vanscoy is going north on I-77 and sees, in apparent confirmation of the encounter, a truck parked on the berm of the southbound I-77 lanes with a man wearing a knee-length coat standing by the passenger side. Derenberger’s
6/ space adventures are only beginning. (Eberhart)
