The Why Files Indrid Cold, the Truth about Planet Lanulos

The full title is; Indrid Cold, the Truth about Planet Lanulos and the Mystery of the Smiling Man ... It is amazing the stories that came from 50s and 60s in UFO Lore IMO.. The hippy experience, God, Christmas and friendly Aliens one heck of a story. I think the story from Woody is one of the reasons most people always want to say, "B.S." on these UFO stories.

Indrid Cold, the Truth about Planet Lanulos and the Mystery of the Smiling Man

On November 2nd, 1966, Woody Derenberger was driving home from a business trip when he encountered an extraterrestrial being named Indrid Cold.

Cold communicated with Woody telepathically, and the two went on to be lifelong friends. Other people close to Woody, including family, friends, and even his therapist claimed that they, too, had experiences with Indrid Cold.

Woody wrote and published a detailed account of his experiences, and never went back on his story. Since the 1960s, the legend of Indrid Cold has become one of the most famous in all of UFO lore.

Taken at face value, this story sounds strange.

But the real story … is even stranger.

Thanks, Sky; I love the Why Files and the way they're presented!

I've noticed that David Paulides follows the same model of story telling in his books 'Missing 411' , which seems to keep these guys off the 'crackpot' list.

Didn't this have something to do with the Moth Man?

Or was that just a movie?

The same guy John Keel wrote "The Mothman Prophecies".

I dated a girl years back whose father grew up in Point Pleasant. The only time I ever saw emotion from him was at the point in the movie were Richard Geres character gets a mystery phone call, during that scene the man got up screaming a weird shrieking noise, ripped the DVD player from the connections and threw it in the trash can outside. Told us never to bring it back into his house and never watch that movie again.

The first podcast I've ever said 'Oh! Its Thursday, Why Files night!'

And the last few episodes, come to ATS to discuss!

Indrid Cold and Mothman were a few topics touched on by Greg and Dana Newkirk in Hellier parts 1 and 2. They have a new doc coming out, not sure if it's related

Mmmmm….everything tastes good on a Ritz cracker…..

What is the name or topic of their new documentary and do you know when it will be released?

I don't, just that they have/had been working on it, think it's done, but they haven't clarified whether it's Hellier part 3 or something different

Indrid Cold's appearance(s) were chronicled in John Keel's 'The Mothman Prophecies'.

I recommend you ignore the movie and absolutely do read the book.

He's crazy or was it a clever strategy to protect his daughter from you?

I'm halfway through the book now. Thanks for recommending it.

It is not what I was expecting so far. But I'm enjoying it.

Just finished the book.

I'm not sure what to believe. But it was extremely interesting.
