　　Three　days　later；　on　May　8；　Mrs。　Hyre　arrived　home　from　a　civic　meeting　around　11：30　P。M。　Just　as　she　was　opening　her　front　door　a　large　black　car　squealed　to　a　stop　directly　outside　her　house。　She　stood　on　her　porch　and　watched　as　a　man　got　out　of　the　vehicle；　raised　a　camera　to　his　face；　and　snapped　her　picture。
　　
　　〃His　flash　gun　was　very　bright；〃　she　reported。　〃It　blinded　me　momentarily。　While　I　was　standing　there　rubbing　my　eyes　he　got　back　into　his　car　and　it　drove　off。　I　couldn't　see　if　there　was　anyone　else　in　the　car。〃　She　paused。　〃Now　why　do　you　suppose　anyone　would　want　to　take　my　picture　like　that？〃
　　
　　Why　indeed。　Our　Men　in　Black　were　now　engaged　in　a　new　game。　Or　perhaps　the　game　had　been　going　for　years　but　no　one　had　ever　noticed　it　before。　As　if　I　didn't　have　enough　trouble　already；　now　I　was　chasing　phantom　photographers　all　over　the　landscape。
　　
　　On　a　rainy　night　in　April　a　man　from　Ohio　had　been　driving　along　Route　2　near　the　Chief　Cornstalk　Hunting　Grounds　when　a　large　black　form　rose　from　the　woods　and　flew　over　his　car。　〃It　was　at　least　ten　feet　wide；〃　he　claimed。　〃I　stepped　on　the　gas　and　it　kept　right　up　with　me。　We　were　doing　over　seventy。　It　scared　the　hell　out　of　me。　Then　I　saw　it　move　ahead　of　me　and　turn　toward　the　river。〃
　　
　　Months　later；　late　in　October；　he　returned　home　from　work　and　found　a　prowler　in　his　apartment。
　　
　　〃When　I　opened　the　door　I　saw　this　man　standing　in　my　living　room；〃　he　reported。　〃I　think　he　was　dressed　all　in　black。　I　couldn't　see　his　face；　but　he　was　about　five　feet　nine。　I　started　to　fumble　for　the　light　switch　when　he　took　my　picture。　There　was　a　big　flash　of　light；　so　bright　I　couldn't　see　a　thing。　While　I　was　rubbing　my　eyes　the　burglar　darted　past　me　and　went　out　the　open　door。　I　guess　I　arrived　just　in　time　because　nothing　was　missing。〃
　　
　　Burglars　with　flash　guns！
　　
　　Sixty　miles　north　of　Point　Pleasant；　a　young　family　in　Belpre；　Ohio；　was　having　the　full　range　of　UFO…associated　problems。　The　man　in　the　family；　I'll　call　bun　Ben；　had　seen　a　UFO　hovering　near　a　chemical　plant　on　the　river。　He'd　heard　you　could　signal　to　the　objects　so　he　flashed　his　car's　spotlight　at　it　The　spotlight　went　out　instantly　and　later　he　found　that　all　the　electrical　systems　in　his　car　had　burned　out。
　　
　　His　sighting　marked　the　beginning　of　all　kinds　of　weird　happenings。　First；　his　telephone　went　crazy。　Like　so　many　others；　he　had　not　reported　his　sighting　to　anyone　yet　he　began　to　receive　the　beeping　calls；　and　calls　from　〃metallic　voices；〃　urging　him　to　attend　undefined　meetings　（he　never　went）。　A　poltergeist　moved　into　Ben's　house。　Drawers　opened　by　themselves。　Objects　disappeared。　A　heavy　cabinet　pushed　against　a　window　was　moved　by　some　force。　（Later　I　tried　to　move　this　cabinet　by　myself　and　found　it　was　too　heavy。）　Ben's　wife　began　to　notice　unusual　people　in　the　neighborhood。　Ben　received　a　mild　scare　that　August　as　he　was　walking　down　the　Main　Street　in　Parkersburg　and　saw　two　black…garbed　Oriental…looking　men　who　grinned　at　him　broadly　as　if　they　knew　him。　They　appeared　to　be　confused　or　drunken；　he　noted；　and　seemed　to　have　difficulty　walking。　Ben　knew　nothing　of　the　MIB　lore；　but　the　men　so　alarmed　him　that　he　crossed　to　the　other　side　of　the　street。
　　
　　He　had　more　UFO　sightings。　And　more　freak　phone　calls。　Finally　he　mentioned　his　troubles　to　Parke　McDaniel　。。。　they　worked　together　。。。　and　Mrs。　Hyre　and　I　drove　to　Belpre。　Two　weeks　before　our　visit；　according　to　Ben's　wife；　a　black　car　had　stopped　in　front　of　their　house　and　a　man　in　a　black　suit　had　apparently　taken　photos　with　a　large　camera。　Two　of　their　neighbors　had　also　witnessed　this　and　corroborated　their　story。　The　photographer　did　not　pay　any　attention　to　any　of　the　other　houses　on　the　street。
　　
　　On　Long　Island；　less　than　thirty　miles　from　New　York　City；　UFOs；　Men　in　Black；　and　phantom　photographers　were　all　very　busy　that　summer。　Eventually　I　gathered　reports　of　the　photographers　from　as　far　away　as　Seattle。　An　aerospace　engineer　in　the　Northwest　reported：　〃For　some　three　days　photographs　were　taken　of　our　house。　We　thought　they　might^be　realtors　or　someone　doing　a　film　on　the　area。　Then　began　the　telephone　interference；　mail　stoppage　and　misdirection；　etc。〃
　　
　　The　engineer；　a　well…educated　man　with　a　responsible　position　in　a　major　aircraft　pany；　involved　himself　in　UFO　research　as　a　hobby。　At　first　he　assumed　the　photographers；　telephone　harassers；　and　all　were　agents　of　the　government。　Then　something　uncanny　attacked　his　new　home。
　　
　　'Twice　a　very　powerful　specterlike　influence　visited　the　house　which　projected　FEAR　of　an　incredible　nature；〃　he　wrote。　〃I　am　certain　that　anyone　who　did　not　understand　these　things　would　have　been　driven　in　very　short　order　to　the　state　mental　hospital。　Another　attack　was　interference　with　the　time　Constance　of　a　heart　beat。　I　would　be　awakened　with　a　pulse　of　over　two　hundred！　However；　I　always　awakened　because　I　sleep　with　plastic　ear　stoppers　and　in　each　of　about　thirty　to　thirty…five　instances　the　noise　awakened　me。〃
　　
　　I　had　heard　of　this　heart…beat　phenomenon　in　Massachusetts　and　several　other　places；　and　put　it　down　as　more　psychological　than　physiological。　When　Mary　Hyre　plained　of　hearing　a　loud；　pulsing　heart…beat　sound　late　at　night　I　knew　she　had　suffered　one　severe　heart　attack　and　worried　that　she　was　really　hearing　her　own　heart　beat。
　　
　　The　Linda　Scarberry　and　the　McDaniels　plained　of　hearing　the　same　sound。
　　
　　Roger　Scarberry　was　haunted　by　something　else　。。。　by　dreams　of　a　great　eye　floating　in　the　sky　over　Mary's　house。　Point　Pleasant　was　filled　with　omens　and　portents。　A　man　and　a　woman　carrying　a　camera　visited　Steve　and　Mary　Mallette；　wanting　to　take　pictures　of　them。　Mr。　Mallette　took　down　the　license　number　on　their　Volkswagen　and　when　Mary　had　the　police　check　it　out　it　proved　to　be　nonexistent。　This　business　with　license　numbers　was　repeated　over　and　over；　and　in　many　places。　Witnesses　would　carefully　note　the　plates　on　the　black　Cadillacs　and　mysterious　panel　trucks；　but　when　the　police　ran　a　routine　check　the　puters　came　up　with　a　blank。
　　
　　When　you　consider　the　many　millions　of　licenses　issued　in　the　United　States；　the　odds　against　your　being　able　to　manufacture　an　unlisted　number　are　astronomical。　Yet　our　MIB　always　manage　to　e　up　with　unused　numbers。　（There　were　more　incidents　of　this　type　during　the　October　1973　wave。）
　　
　　Phantom　photographer　reports　have　been　rare　in　England；　but　in　1973　two　leading　British　ufologists；　Brinsley　Le　Poer　Trench　and　J。B。　Delair；　came　across　an　incident　involving　the　Bogart　family　who　live　in　a　forest　near　Maresfield；　Sussex。　The　Bogarts'　isolated　cottage　has　been　plagued　with　apparitions；　strange　sounds；　and　poltergeist　activity。　And　a　large　number　of　low…flying　luminous　objects　have　been　seen　repeatedly　in　the　vicinity。
　　
　　〃On　more　than　one　occasion　Mrs。　Bogart　alleges　that　she　has　been　perturbed　to　find　a　yellow　Volkswagen　car　（having　smoked…glass　windows）　following　her　discreetly　at　a　distance；〃　Delair　reports。　（*）　〃Once　this　involved　the　vehicle　slowly　following　her　down　a　woodland　cart…track　leading　to　Piltdown　Lake；　of　it　then　stopping　some　distance　from　her；　of　two　medium…sized　individuals　emerging　and　hurriedly　taking　photographs　of　her；　and　of　the　individuals　quickly　re…entering　the　car　and　driving　off　in　the　opposite　direction。　On　another　occasion；　in　Maresfield；。　the　same　vehicle　（or　one　exactly　similar）　seemed　to　be　'kerb…crawling'　several　yards　behind　her。　Mrs。　Bogart　has　no　idea　to　whom　the　Volkswagen　belongs；　or　why　it　should　apparently　follow　her　about　in　such　furtive　fashion；　nor　why　she　should　be　so　mysteriously　photographed。〃

　　If　you　review　the　thousands　of　UFO　contact　reports　you　will　find　that　many　of　them　begin　with　the　appearance　of　an　entity　holding　some　kind　of　〃flashlight〃　which　is　shone　directly　at　the　witness。　In　cases　in　which　the　percipient　was　taken　aboard　a　saucer；　a　light　flashes　and　he　is　told　his　picture　has　just　been　taken。　In　other　instances；　some　of　which　have　already　been　described；　the　entity　approaches　the　witness　and　suddenly　flashes　a　light　at　him　which　causes　paralysis。
　　
　　Woodrow　Derenberger　was　among　the　very　few　contact　claimants　who　did　not　describe　such　flashes。
　　
　　In　trying　to　nail　down　the　exact　chronological　order　of　events　in　the　contactee　experience；　I　found　that　the　witnesses　observed　the　flash　first　and　then　they　saw　the　entity　approaching　with　some　kind　of　flashlight。　A　second　flash　paralyzed　them　or　rendered　them　unconscious。
　　
　　The　phenomenon　takes　yet　another　form。　The　witness　is　stepping　out　his　door；　or　getting　out　of　his　automobile；　when　there　is　a　sudden　burst　of　light　〃like　a　flash　gun　going　off。〃　No　photographer　or　camera　is　visible。　There　is　no　sudden　paralysis　or　ill　effects。　The　witness　just　scratches　his　head　in　bewilderment　and　goes　about　his　business。　However；　those　who　see　these　flashes　have　usually　had　psychic　exp
