Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Those coincidences continued on and on after that with these different things that went on with him. Yeah, because for years he would keep calling and letting you in on his latest demonstrations. I would say easily 500 times, usually 2 o'clock in the morning. But I didn't mind. When the phone would ring, I'd know it was him, and he wouldn't identify himself. He'd just go right into what he's telling me. And I got to the point that my wife and I would immediately sit up, take notes, and then four or five days later, him would come. The predictions that he predicted someplace in the newspaper, and they'd be laughing at him. And then four or five days later, when the prediction actually happened, he transpired. Then we get the newspaper clipping. Earthquake here, a drought here, a flood here, a firestorm here. And he was incredibly accurate. What would you estimate his accuracy at? At the time, I said about 80% of the stuff I dealt with. That was even not even giving him full credit, 80%. It would depend on the timing. I had to be sure of the timing of his new favorite clips, because I didn't get them, he did. But they all had dates and times on them, and they were always in advance of the actual event. His predictions came in advance. He'd call them in verbally, and I'd record him sometimes, sometimes I wouldn't. Then he would send them in; he'd write them on a scrolling piece of paper, smelling cigar smoke, scribbled all over it, showing little symbols and signs. Signed the SCI man telling me what he was going to do. And then, a few days later, I get the newspaper that this actually had happened here, there, in India, or any place in the world. He predicted the entire planet, not just the USA. And, of course, we're using the term predictions, but he usually didn't refer to them as predictions. He said he's going to cause it to happen. He would say he's going to make it happen. And he went into his method with you? That he was causing it by? His only method was, the explanation was that he was in contact with the space intelligences, and he would ask them for certain things, and then they would happen. Right. I never bought that, but what else could I say? Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound The September 1979 hurricane, let's talk about that a little bit. Yeah. Ted Owens at that time had been upset by the Enquirer editor with whom I was working on that particular story. And the guy literally laughed in his face and just derided him over the telephone. And he was very upset. And we talked after we got off the editor. And he said, 'Look, I'm going to fix this editor. I'm going to bring a hurricane over the National Enquirer. I'm going to destroy him and you and the Enquirer and everybody else.' I said, well, don't, you know, I was just plain with him, don't do that, because, you know, we're right on the coastline, the stout, the helpless people, don't do such a thing. And within about a few days, we did, in fact, get Hurricane David coming across the Cape Verde Hurricane, which is one of the powerful, at one point hit Category 5 out there in the open Atlantic Ocean, and was coming straight for South Florida. And I called Ted and asked him not to do this. Ted turned the thing. And he said, I'll call you back. And he called back and told me he had been in contact with his FIs, his space intelligences or whatever he referred to them as. And that he had asked that this thing turned away not to hurt us. He said, I've never done this before, but I'm going to do it for you, Wayne, because I like you. And I didn't laugh at him. And we're sitting there under hurricane warnings. All of South Florida is boarding up and getting ready for this tremendous hit. And sure enough, this thing trucked across the Atlantic, got off our coast about 80 miles. and turned and went straight up north, northeast, north, northwest, and went into Savannah, Georgia, and Redald, Georgia, and South Carolina. And he called back that morning, the next morning, about 7, 8 o'clock, and said, Wayne, that was for you. So, coincidence? Who knows?

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Well, Hal Puthoff and I initiated a program at Stanford Research Institute to investigate psychic abilities, and that program started in 1972. So from 72 until 1995, there was an ongoing research effort at SRI to investigate and apply a human capability, which we call remote viewing, that allows a person to describe and experience what's happening at a distant location. Ted Owens had heard about our activity. We've been a recipient of a lot of press, principally because of our working with Uri Geller in 1973, and then we had some publicity when we published a scientific paper in 1974. In Nature magazine, concerning remote viewing and Uri Geller's apparent psychokinetic activity. Geller did not actually do anything at SRI, but there was a lot of newspaper publicity about Uri Geller and our psychic activities. Ted Owens was sending us telegrams during this period, 74-75, wanting to work with us because of his great psychokinetic ability; in fact, he called himself the PK man. We were just recovering from a lot of unwanted publicity concerning Uri Geller, and we were happy to work quietly with U. S. Army intelligence officers. Pat Price, who's a retired police commissioner, and Ingo Swann, who are all relatively low-key, under-our-control psychics, not looking for publicity. None of them were. Neither Swann nor Pat Price nor the Army people were looking for publicity, whereas Ted Owens seemed to be extremely interested in publicity. He felt that he was even more psychokinetic a person than Uri Geller. In his communications with us, he made a lot of very extreme, what seemed to us as flamboyant claims. And independent of whether or not he could move mountains, bring down airplanes, cause disasters, we didn't want to work with him because we were not working particularly in psychokinetic research, PK research. Human perceptual capabilities, and head-ons looked to us like trouble in the publicity realm, and we promised not to embarrass SRI. We didn't keep that promise because of all the tremendous notoriety generated by Uri Geller, but we now had a secret program with the CIA, and we were trying to be well-behaved scientists not to antagonize our host, which is SRI. Not wanting to be known as the ESP capital of the West. So we turned down Ted Owens, although he continued to send us telegrams, which was his favorite way of communicating with us. Finally, in the fall, I believe, of 1976, actually January 30th, of '76? Yeah, is when he sent you the prediction that he was going to end the drought. Well, I don't think it was a drought. It was the middle of winter. He was going to send us. No, actually there was, Russell. All right. I have all that documented. It was the middle of winter, but California was going through a drought at the time. I see. I didn't recall. I'm just going from my memory of this thing, which is now 30 years ago. What I do recall is that he specifically said that he would send us some very unusual freak weather, and he was capable of doing that. And it was almost like a threat as much as a demonstration of his psychic prowess. He said, 'I will send you freak weather.' You'll get a feeling, or like you'll get a taste of what I'm capable of. And that was on a Friday, I believe. And the next day, in sunny Palo Alto, northern California, we had a snowstorm. And the paper the following day did indeed say, 'Unusual freak storm hits Palo Alto,' because in the 40 years when I've lived here, I've now lived in Palo Alto 40 years. The only snow we had in 40 years was on the day that Ted Owens said he was going to send us a freak storm. And actually, I have the headline. It says, 'Rare Snowfall Ends Drought.' I see. Very interesting. For the Palo Alto Times, I think it's called. Yes. So the following Monday, Hal Puthoff called him up. said, 'That was our cinema wire, perhaps I think we called him and he sends us wires, yeah what I believe.' And Hal said to him, 'Well, that was a remarkable prediction exactly as you said; we were hit with his most unusual weather.' And he said, 'What do you mean, prediction? I didn't predict that storm. I caused that storm.' And it was around that time that I believe we handed him off to you. Within a couple of weeks of that, you seemed very grateful for me to take all of the files. Yeah, he was too exuberant for us. We had this low-key secret program that we were doing with the CIA and Air Force intelligence, and we just got rid of Uri Geller, and we didn't want to start out with another madman from the East who felt that he could create thunderstorms and bring down flying saucers. crash airplanes and so forth. So we were very grateful to you to rescue us from this loose cannon who wanted to come and work with us. And did you continue to receive any further communications from him after that? Not that I recall. I see. So he, I guess he came to understand that I had sort of taken over the files. That's right. He was all yours. Yeah. Did you ever meet him personally, Russell? I never met him. Okay, well, that's the story. Well, I have to say, we had probably a half a year correspondence with him. He was calling Hal Puthoff, so I didn't talk to him. I just was peripheral to these communications. I saw the wires he would send us. And I was the one who received the Palo Alto Times. So I brought this in and said, look at that, just as he said. And as I recall, you and Hal also managed to communicate this experience to Jim Bolan at Psychic Magazine, who ran a little story about it. Possibly, I don't recall that. I know Jim Bolan, but I didn't remember. They ran it as a news brief. And the reason that I ended up meeting Ted Owens was because people in London in the summer of 76 were experiencing another drought. And they read about him ending the California drought and invited him to try and work on the drought in London and invited him to present at a conference there of the Parascience Foundation. In 1976, we were busy writing up our paper, first big paper to be published. In the proceedings of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. So this is where we were trying to maximally establish our scientific credentials in the scientific community. So Ted Owens was not on our agenda. And that was a landmark paper. Yes, I think it was. Okay, well, I got what I really wanted from you about Ted Owens. Good. I'm sorry that I don't have more to say. What occurred with us. Okay. The only other thing I would like to get, if possible, from you, and I bet I can find them on my own, actually, is any photos that you might have of yourself at that time. So if I run this as a documentary, I can put some photos of you with your voice. There's a photo of Hal Puthoff and me on the back cover of MindReach. I know about that one. So that's the only one that I know of. Okay. I probably have some others in my own files, so I'll dig some out. Fine. Happy to help you. I'm very sorry to hear about your friend. Thanks, Russell.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Hello and welcome. This is Jeffrey Mishlove, host of Virtual You, and our conversation today is going to focus in on one of the most fascinating adventures of my entire life. We're going to explore the subject of contacting space intelligence. Contacting space intelligence, and this is an adventure and a research project in which I was engaged for over 10 years. Between 1976 and 1987, I was involved in the study of a most unusual individual, a man named Ted Owens, author of the book, Contacting Space People. Actually, How to Contact. Space People was the title of his book, a very obscure book published by Saucerian Press in 1969. How did I meet this man, and what were his powers? The story will unfold over the coming hours of this edition of Virtual You, and it is a story about a most unusual man, a man larger than life, a man whose powers were of shamanistic proportions, although I regard him as something like an American folk hero, a Paul Bunyan or a Pecos Bill type. And I swear to you, everything that I am presenting in this program is true. You're going to hear things that are unbelievable, but they are true, and I have the documentation to prove it. The story of Ted Owens would be interesting if it were just another, oh wow, story. We could sit around the campfire and tell stories like this, but it has profound implications for our human potential, for our self-awareness. And the story begins in 1976, when I was a graduate student at the University of California, at Berkeley studying parapsychology. And at that time, I was very interested in remote viewing, a clairvoyant procedure that was being developed at the Stanford Research Institute, now known as SRI International, by two physicists there, Russell Targ and Hal Puthoff, both of whom have become very prominent in the field of physics and in the field of parapsychology. Back in 1976, I went to visit them and learn about remote viewing, and it was at that time that they gave me their very extensive files on Ted Owens and encouraged me to follow his career and to initiate a research project of my own into the remarkable work that he was doing then, and I did. And let me tell you, why they thought it was such an important case to follow. You see, Puthoff and Targ had achieved a lot of public prominence in the early 1970s for their research with the Israeli psychic Uri Geller. Now, Uri Geller, many of you will know, had achieved a lot of fame and notoriety because he ostensibly had psychokinetic powers, mind over matter powers. And he was bending spoons and stopping watches. And people would hear him on television or see him on television, and they would discover sometimes that spoons would start bending in their own homes. And actually, around the world, it was quite a phenomenon. Hundreds of thousands of people began reporting metal bending, spoon bending, simply from watching Uri Geller on television. And people were holding spoon bending parties, and it even became a fad within the military. And it was quite exciting. Now, I knew about these things. I was in on it because I had sponsored Uri Geller's first major public appearance in the United States back in 1973 on the University of California campus at Berkeley. I was a graduate student and I was producing radio programs back then and organizing events like this. So I was kind of in the middle of all of this excitement. But put off, being serious scientists working at a major military-industrial think tank had by that time, by 76, become burnt out with the publicity and the controversy surrounding Uri Geller. Hopefully we'll spend another program and really go into depth about the Geller phenomenon, and perhaps we'll even have Uri Geller as a guest on this program. He's been an acquaintance of mine now for over 25 years, and there are many interesting things that could be said about him. But for now, simply let me say that Puthoff and Targ didn't feel that they could handle another controversial psychic. So when Ted Owens contacted them and said, 'Why are you guys wasting your time with Uri Geller? I'm the world's greatest psychic.' Well, they felt they simply didn't want to get involved, and they ignored him. His contacts, however, went on for some time, over a period of weeks, months, perhaps even years, and he kept writing to them and badgering them to send him money to work as a research subject. And one day in February of 1976, Owen sent Puthoff and Targ a letter. And his letter read, 'Look, you guys, just to prove to you that I am indeed the world's greatest psychic, I am going to end the drought that is now plaguing you in California.' And indeed, there was a very serious drought going on at that time. He said, 'I will make it rain and snow and sleet and hail. You will have all sorts of bizarre weather going on and there will be power blackouts and there will be UFO sightings. And your local newspaper is going to run a front-page story proclaiming that the drought is over.' And within three days, all of these things happened. I have the article that was published in the Palo Alto Times, the local newspaper down there near SRI, Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, California. And the article proclaims, 'Rare snowfall ends drought.' Of course, many of you listeners now are all over the country, so you may not appreciate that snow in the San Francisco area is a very rare phenomenon. Maybe once every 15 or 20 years do we get snow. So Puthoff and Targ were impressed, and they sent a postcard to Ted Owens congratulating him on his successful prediction. He immediately sent a letter back to them which said, in effect, 'Prediction hell no, I caused it.' And it was at that point, within a few weeks, I had visited S. R. I. I was meeting with Puthoff and Target, and it was then they said, 'Jeffrey, please take this case off of our hands. We don't know what to do. We don't want to do anything, but somebody should look into it-a promising young graduate student like yourself who doesn't have a major career already on the line that could be ruined because of controversy and publicity.' So I looked into the case, and they gave me stacks and stacks, about six inches. Thick of their files, including many, many letters that they had received from Ted Owens documenting similar demonstrations. And it turned out, at that time, there was a magazine published in San Francisco called Psychic Magazine. It later became New Realities, and I think has subsequently gone out of business. Psychic Magazine published a little news clip. Puthoff and Targ had talked to James Shinoda Bolin, the editor. James Bolin, the editor. His wife, Jean Shinoda Bolin, is the prominent Jungian therapist, the woman who wrote the books Goddesses and Every Woman, Gods and Every Man. But James Bolin was the publisher of Psychic Magazine at that time. He ran a little news story about this fellow, Ted Owens, who had successfully, apparently, ended the California drought. And Psychic Magazine went around the world, and it was read in England, because in 1976 there was a drought also going on in London, in England. It was so bad, in fact, that In some of the outlying towns away from London, the only water available had to be brought in by truck. And the British, that summer, were hosting a conference on parapsychology. I was attending it, and by coincidence, they had invited Ted Owens to attend the same event in the hope that he would also end the drought that was there. That drought was so bad that when I came to London, my friends told me, Jeffrey, would you like to have your picture taken on the front page of the London Times? It's no problem. All you have to do is go down to Piccadilly Circus carrying an umbrella. People will think it's so strange. They'll take your picture and put it in the newspaper. There was just no rain at all. It was dry. But the day Ted Owens arrived in England, it began to rain and rain and rain and rain. And there were power blackouts that also shut down the whole London subway system. And within, I think, a matter of weeks, the London Times proclaimed that the drought was officially over. Within a short time. Although when I first arrived in London, the newspaper headline said, 'No end in sight for the drought.' So I had now had two relatively convincing experiences that I could attest to in which Owens, in one way or another, seemed to be involved in suddenly and unexpectedly ending a drought. I didn't know whether he had caused these phenomena or had predicted these phenomena or whether it was a coincidence or whether perhaps it was simply a statistical fluke or maybe it wasn't even that. Maybe it was just happenstance. But my curiosity was aroused and I made a point of meeting Ted Owens. And we actually became good friends. He was a speaker at the London Parascience Conference held at Birkbeck College at the University of London, a very prestigious scientific institution, and many physicists and well-known scientists and writers were at that event when Ted Owens spoke. He had a large white beard. He looked like Santa Claus, and he spoke in a very booming, articulate voice. He was a member of Mensa, the organization of people with high IQs. And yet there was something peculiar about this man. He came into the auditorium carrying a toy wagon. And stacked in that toy wagon, about two feet high, were piles and piles of paper. And he claimed that he was the agent of the UFOs. He was their ambassador, their emissary. Or they had empowered him by operating on his brain, and they had authorized him to perform miraculous feats to end the droughts and to do wonderful things for people on Earth in order to convince the people on Earth of his connection with the aliens and his powers. And frankly, the audience laughed at him. They couldn't take him seriously. It just seemed too absurd, too ridiculous. And that's where I stepped in. Because I stood up and talked about what I had observed and known about in California. And I became his friend. And what followed from that friendship I will present after these messages. I'm Jeffrey Mishlove, host of Virtual You, back again talking about my adventures with Ted Owens and the space intelligences. In our first segment, I described how I met Ted Owens at the Parascience Conference in August 1976, Birkbeck College, University of London, and how he had already by then established a reputation for having extraordinary psychokinetic abilities. He even called himself PK Man, meaning the psychokinesis man, the man who had powers of mind over matter. And he also called himself the UFO Prophet. Now, when he stood up at the Parascience Conference to speak, people thought of him as being a highly inappropriate. And I have to say that that stigma followed him throughout his career. People thought that the man was an egotist, that he was brash. And although he was brilliant, a member of Mensa, he really didn't have an advanced educational degree. More working-class in his vocabulary and his mentality, and he seemed very much out of place at a scientific gathering, talking in his booming voice about how he was the ambassador of the aliens. I mean, polite society was simply not ready for that in 1976, and I doubt if they're ready for that yet. But and then when he carried his toy wagon stacked high with papers, which he claimed documented his feats, well, the whole thing seemed almost like the man was psychotic. And I think there were people in that audience who were willing to dismiss him as a nutcase. And there were people in the audience who were willing to dismiss him simply as being an arrogant egotist. And there were people in the audience willing to dismiss it largely because they were incapable of integrating what he was saying. And that was the difficulty throughout his whole career. Befriended him by standing up for him at that meeting and telling people what I personally was aware of with regard to ending the drought in February 1976 in the San Francisco Bay Area. And I think the audience quieted down a little bit and they began to listen to him. And after that talk, Ted Owens came up to me and I was doing radio interviews at the time and I actually interviewed him for my program on KPFA radio in Berkeley. I had a tape recorder with me then and we became friends and we were talking and he noticed that I had a little ceramic pin that I wore on my jacket. It was given to me by my girlfriend back then before I left for Europe. And it was a picture of what I took to be the planet Saturn with a rainbow behind it, a lovely New Age kind of design. And Ted Owens looked at that and he said to me, you know, that's the rainbow UFO. He said, do you know that every day I meditate on the rainbow UFO? He said, Jeffrey, I'd really love it if you would make a gift to me of that pin. It would mean so much to me. And gosh, I thought, wait a second, that's from my girlfriend. But there was Ted Owens, the UFO prophet, asking for it. And I did. I took it off my jacket and gave it to him. My relationship with my girlfriend really didn't last too much longer. But that's the way of things. Sometimes Ted Owens and I became friends. Good friends. Now he showed me his files, his toy wagon full of files, and I had some already at home that had been given to me by Putoff and Targ at SRI International. And as I looked through the many, many documents illustrating instances where he produced a wide variety of phenomenon. Lightning strikes and weather changes, heat waves and cold waves and hurricane controls and tornado controls and UFO appearances. I found in the files a letter from Dr. Max Vogel, who was the director of education for MENSA, the organization of people with high IQs. And that letter said that Ted Owens had, in 1973, promised Fogel he would produce a UFO sighting within a certain radius, a hundred mile radius of Norfolk, Virginia, where Owens lived in that area. He lived actually in Cape Charles, Virginia. And Fogel said, yes, and a UFO appeared. It was seen by policemen. It was reported in the local newspaper in Chase City, Virginia, where the policemen chased it. And there was an interesting coincidence. The police dispatcher who first reported the sighting was a woman named Marion Owen. And it seemed as if oftentimes in these demonstrations there would be a person named Owen or Owens involved. That was another scene. Signature of the space intelligences and it suggested that they had powers outside of our own dimension of time and space that enabled them to create meaningful coincidences. John Lilly, author of many books, Center of the Cyclone was one of his excellent books, or Programming and Metaprogramming of the Human Biocomputer. John Lilly, the great pioneer explorer of consciousness, often called this kind of a force ECHO, meaning Earth Coincidence Control. Some sort of intelligence that operates outside of the normal three dimensions of space and time that we experience. So I asked Ted Owens if he would produce a similar demonstration for me in the San Francisco area where I lived. Could he make a UFO appear like that and be seen visibly by reliable witnesses? And he told me he would do that. He would make a UFO appear in front of many, hundreds, he said, of reliable witnesses. It will be well attested. It will be photographed. He said, you can count on the photograph being published on the front page of one of your local newspapers. And the story of that demonstration will be presented next after these messages. Well, when I got back to San Francisco, I pursued the question with Owens of his demonstration, and he set it up with me in November of 1976 as follows. He said, 'I will cause a UFO to appear, and it will happen within 90 days, and it will happen within a 100-mile radius of San Francisco.' In fact, he said, 'I'll cause multiple UFO appearances, but one in particular will be seen by very reliable witnesses.' The photograph will be published on the front page of a local newspaper. And that's how you'll know it'll be my signature. And other things happened as well. He said there will be power blackouts. That's also one of his signatures. Well, in December 1976, it occurred. Pretty much. On schedule, December 12th, as I recall, in Sonoma State College, a small college campus about 50 miles north of San Francisco. The art department, on a clear December day, was sponsoring a live demonstration of an unusual art form, aerial artwork, a pilot, who was an artist, was flying his aircraft over the campus. He had smoke trailing out the back of his plane, and he was creating loop-de-loops and other designs in the air. And this was the demonstration. Hundreds of students were outside looking up at the sky. Some of them had video cameras. This is in the days before camcorders, but they were recording it, and there were photographs being taken. Many faculty members were out there. The pilot of this airplane was named Steve Poleski, and he was a visiting professor of art from Syracuse University. He was visiting Berkeley. And he was performing. I actually have the videotape of this event. And as he was doing his loop-de-loops around 3,000 feet above the Sonoma State College campus, a UFO appeared right in his airspace. He witnessed it from the air. He said it was about 15, 20 feet wide. And it just-it came out of nowhere. It was right there in his airspace, and it stayed there a few minutes and suddenly disappeared. And it was seen from the ground, and it was photographed. The photograph was published on the front page of one of our local papers, the Berkeley Gazette. And the videotape was actually shown on the Channel 9 Evening News, KQED-TV, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ted Owens had scored pretty much a direct hit. And there were many other events that occurred during that demonstration. UFO abduction. Well, there was a UFO abduction. There was an earthquake. There were power blackouts and other things. So I felt that I now had enough cause to really launch a serious investigation of Ted Owens. I was willing at that point to restructure my graduate program, my doctoral degree program in parapsychology at Berkeley away from the study of remote viewing and make it a case study of Ted Owens. Little did I know in my naivety the kind of opposition that would develop. But I called together a meeting of leading UFO and parapsychology researchers. I put together a report documenting what I had done with Ted Owens and documenting many other dozens of cases in the records. And we had J. Allen Hynek attending that meeting, the founder of the Center for UFO Studies in Evanston, Illinois. And we had Dr. James Harder there, who was the director of research for the Aerial Phenomenon Research Organization, one of the major UFO organizations at that time. I had many leading parapsychologists there. D. Scott Rogo, the author of about 20 books on UFO phenomenon and parapsychological phenomenon, attended the meeting. And I thought with this impressive group of people and this data that the time had come to launch a serious investigation to make a major breakthrough in our understanding of the phenomenon. And that with these powerful people there, something might be accomplished. But the tenor of the meeting went in a very different direction. Dr. J. Allen Hynek stood up and said, 'I wouldn't touch Ted Owens with a 10-foot pole.' That man is exhibiting powers of the subconscious mind. They are erratic. They are crazy. They're even dangerous. I don't want to go near him. And other researchers said, you know, he wants to get money from us. That's what this is all about. And furthermore, what if we don't agree with him about certain things? What if we don't comply with all of his wishes? What will he do? People were afraid of Ted Owens. And perhaps they had good reason to be afraid of Ted Owens. He was not always the most pleasant of people. He was like an American folk hero. And if you looked at some of his documented demonstrations, many of the best ones, in fact, occurred when he would go into a city and announce that he was the UFO ambassador who had come to help people. And he'd go into a local newspaper and they'd sort of laugh at him and say, 'Come on, get off of it.' And he'd say, 'Oh, you don't believe me? Well, I guess I'll have to teach you a lesson.' And sometimes very unpleasant things would happen. And I'll go into some of those, but unpleasant weather conditions or sometimes even individuals would get ill. Unpleasant things would happen to particular people who crossed horns with Ted Owens. And this was frightening to some of the researchers who I had brought together. And the upshot of it all was that in spite of the enormous potential of this phenomenon from a scientific point of view, nothing came of it. I was really encouraged to put aside this project and get back to my other studies in remote viewing, and indeed I did do that. I wanted to finish my doctoral degree, so I put aside my studies of Ted Owens. At least I was unable to raise funds to do anything serious, and it's unfortunate because he lived in a relatively impoverished condition in spite of his enormous talents. But many, many more things unfolded from our interactions, and I'll tell you about them after these messages. Hello again, I'm Jeffrey Mishlove, host of Virtual You on Wisdom Radio, and I've been talking about my studies and investigations of a most unusual man, Ted Owens, the PK man, the UFO prophet, the man who taught me how to contact space intelligences, a man who was larger than life, somewhat like a Pecos Bill or a Paul Bunyan. I think of him as an American folk hero whose talents had shamanistic qualities of extraordinary proportions. One of the researchers to whom I had introduced Ted Owens was D. Scott Rogo. Scott, who was actually a distant cousin of mine, you see my mother's maiden name was Rogo, died in 1990, but this is now 1976 and 77, and he was the author of about 20 different books dealing with parapsychological phenomenon. Well, by the time of his death, he had authored those books. I really, of all of the researchers who I attempted to interest in the Owens case, he became the most interested. In fact, he and I actually co-authored a book, still unpublished, about the Ted Owens case. And Scott, who was probably in his lifetime regarded as the single most knowledgeable person about the history of parapsychology and psychical research, told me that he thought that Ted Owens might just be the most powerful psychic in all of our history. He was the author, for example, of Parapsychology: A Century of Inquiry, one of the best historical books written in the field. And we're talking about some great psychics when you go back to the 19th century, people like D. D. Hume or Eusebio Palladino. There are extraordinary things that have been reported in the history of this field, and I will, from time to time, talk about them on this program, Virtual You. Ted Owens was in a class of his own. Really, we're talking about earthquake control, hurricane control, volcanoes, tornadoes. The forces of nature seem to respond to his thoughts. One of my friends, the Jungian scholar, Dr. James Driscoll, felt that Owens was in touch with the archetypal energies of the Greek god Poseidon, the god of the sea, the god who whose thoughts were expressed in the elemental forces of earth, air, fire, and water. But Owens himself saw it a little differently. If we look at his life history, he knew from childhood that he had some unusual experiences. When he went into the military in World War II, he was in the Navy. He describes, for example, both in his childhood and again in the Navy, there were moments when, like diving in the air from a diving board into a swimming pool, that he felt like he was suspended in midair for a while, and that people down below would see this and marvel at it. So while he was in the Navy, And producing effects like this from time to time and having other experiences, he wrote to J. B. Rhine, who was at Duke University, who had established a parapsychology laboratory there. And would you believe it, J. B. Rhine actually invited Owens to come to Duke University and work for him as a laboratory assistant. Rhine took an interest in Owens and his talents. And Owens did. He enrolled as an undergraduate student at Duke University and he worked for J.B. Rhine and he became very close to J. B. and his wife Louisa Rhine. And at that time, he learned about the scientific research that was being undertaken at Duke University in the field of extrasensory perception. J. B. Rhine had established an international reputation for his work in card guessing and for his work in psychokinesis where he'd ask people to concentrate on dice. He had a machine that would throw dice and ask people to make certain faces of these die come face up. Owens, of course, was really working in a wilder way. In a less disciplined way with these phenomena. He told me on one occasion he was in the office in the laboratory with Rhine and some of the research associates, and there was a scissors sitting on the table and he concentrated on that scissors and it levitated a few feet above the table. I tried to verify that event by talking to Dr. Rhine and his wife, and Of course, many decades later, nobody remembered it, but you know, they didn't really want to talk about Ted Owens either. I think they considered him an embarrassment. The Rhines had really, really struggled to make parapsychology a respectable scientific discipline, and it was an uphill struggle. Because the scientific community wasn't ready to accept even statistical, experimental, well-controlled proof of such a thing as extrasensory perception and psychokinesis, let alone to think of someone of the likes of Ted Owens. Until the mid-19 60s, in fact, 1969, before the American Association for the Advancement of Science granted recognition to the Parapsychological Association as an affiliate body to even recognize that they were doing valid science. And that was roughly about 40 years from the time that J. B. Rhine first initiated his research. So his struggles just to put parapsychology on the map prevented him from really appreciating not just Ted Owens, but many of the more far-out, more extraordinary, bizarre, remarkable, strange phenomenon in the parapsychological zoo, so to speak. But Ted Owens did get his training right there with the father of parapsychology, J. B. Rhine. He got married when he was an undergraduate student and left Duke University. And it was after that that he really began focusing his energies on controlling the weather. And he thought that he was in touch with the powers of nature when he observed that he could concentrate and cause clouds to move about or cause lightning to strike or cause storms to appear. I'll tell you more about his remarkable story after these messages. Welcome back to Virtual You. I'm your host, Jeffrey Mishlove, and I've been talking about my encounters with the man who taught me how to contact space intelligences. It's really quite a dramatic tale, and one that I rarely tell because it is so bizarre. But there are many deep insights that I've gleaned from this story. And I'll be back at six and a half minutes after the hour for another hour in which I'll go into much more depth about the not only the phenomenon that I observed, but the metaphysical lessons associated with that. If you're interested in this program, Virtual You, on Wisdom Radio, you should know, if you don't already, that we're on every weekday evening at 8 p. m. Pacific Time, where I live here in California. And if you live elsewhere, you have to adjust accordingly. On the East Coast, it would be 11 p. m. And I have a website, www. mishlove. com. That's my name, Jeffrey Mishlove, M-I-S-H-L-O-V-E. And if you go to that website, mishlove. com, you'll see links to many of my activities, many of my professional activities. associations and affiliations, and links that include the websites of all of my guests, past, present, and future. It's an incredible resource for those of you who really want to pursue in a deeper way the kind of self-exploration that is the keynote of this program, Virtual You. Now before we end, This hour, I should say some things about Ted Owens. He was a bizarre person. One might say that he had strange personality quirks, that he was even frightening and unpredictable and unpleasant and egotistical and sometimes paranoid and perhaps even psychotic. But he had an extraordinary gift. Not only the gift of producing miraculous phenomena, but there was a core to him that was very pure; a core to him that was in touch with an extraordinarily powerful spiritual essence. I want to let you know that because I'll be talking about that more when I return from our break at six and a half minutes after the hour. I'll be with you then.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Welcome back to Virtual You. I'm your host Jeffrey Mishlove and this is our second hour of exploring the phenomenon of space intelligences. Well, I haven't really gotten into space intelligences too much yet. What I've actually been talking about is my encounter with the ambassador of the space intelligences, Ted Owens, a man I studied from 1976 when I first met him until his death in 1987. And during that 11-year period, he produced about 200 documented demonstrations of unusual phenomenon which he attributed to the space intelligences with which he claimed to be in telepathic contact. Let me say a few more things about We were describing before the break how he had studied at Duke University in the 1940s, around 1947, and he actually was a research assistant to Professor J. B. Rhine in the parapsychology laboratory there. And he had left Duke University with his wife, traveling around the country, working at various odd jobs. And noticed that he seemed to have an ability to control the weather with his thoughts. If he wanted to make a storm come up, he'd think about it, he'd visualize a storm, and it would happen. And this seemed to happen over and over again. It got to the point where at one time, he even actually contacted the CIA and offered to demonstrate it to them. In fact, throughout his career, he made a real effort to interest the United States government in working with what he believed were his unusual powers. I think the United States government probably has extensive files on him because he was constantly bombarding them with information, but they were really ill-equipped to deal with a person like him. And as far as I can tell, while they kept files on him and maybe had people watching him from time to time, nothing ever came of those contacts. At some point, Ted shifted in his viewpoint. He originally thought it was nature. He was in touch with nature. And because of his link with nature itself, he was able to produce these phenomena. And then on one occasion, he actually saw a UFO while he was producing the phenomena. And there was a big UFO flap across the United States back in the 1960s. And it dawned on him then that it wasn't just nature, that he was in touch with some phenomenon outside of space and time as we normally think of it. The phenomenon he began to call 'The S. I. S.' or 'the Space Intelligences'. And he began to receive what he described as telepathic messages from the Space Intelligences. You might think he had totally gone off of his rocker at this point, but he believed that he had had a whole series of unusual experiences that made him believe that he had been abducted and that actually had had surgery performed on his brain that enhanced his natural telepathic abilities and allowed this to occur. Truly, as a psychotherapist, I can tell you that these kinds of stories are indicative of paranoid psychosis. Or schizophrenic psychosis. These are the stories of a schizophrenic, of a psychotic person, of an insane person, of a crazy person. And it's no surprise to me that people treated Ted Owens this way. I think perhaps what was unusual about me is I was willing to say, 'all right, mister', what is your evidence? And if you listen to the first hour of this program, you will know already that Ted Owens produced a great deal of evidence for me. And in fact, I have in my files hundreds of cases of weather control and UFO appearances and poltergeist types of phenomenon, that were associated with his demonstrations. And typically, what he would do to produce a demonstration is put in writing to scientists or journalists or other responsible members of society, what he planned to do. Usually something very unusual and bizarre, a heat wave, a cold wave, a UFO appearance, and then he would forward newspaper clippings of these events because they were so dramatic they were reported in the newspapers. And I have these in my files along with the original envelopes and postmarks and letters documenting the precise dates in which his predictions were made. He'd send them to multiple groups of scientists to make sure they were well documented. And many of these scientists, who really wanted little to do with Ted Owens, were happy to forward to me all of their documentation about the man. Well, he came to see himself as the agent. Of the space intelligences as their representative on Earth. And then he began to tell me, as I questioned him about the course of his life, he began to tell me some very interesting things. He told me, for example, that he believes that the space intelligences had been watching him throughout the course of his life. And he pointed out to me that he had held many different occupations. He had been a knife thrower in a circus act and a bullwhip artist in a circus act. And he had been a high-speed typist. And he had been a jazz musician, a drummer. And he had worked at a railroad as what he called an idea man. He had been in the Navy. He had been a parapsychology assistant to J.B. Rhine at Duke University. He had worked in a law office. And Owens believed that all of these strange careers were in some way guided or arranged for him by the space intelligences, and they had a purpose. Their purpose was to help him develop a mind that was so flexible that it was capable of manipulating very complex symbols from many different occupations and professions so that he could use those symbols in his telepathic contact with them. He also told me that these space intelligences had tried throughout history to establish such contact with many human beings from time to time. He said Moses was such a person. And often he compared himself to Moses. I think when one considers the accounts of Moses in the Book of Exodus and the miracles that were produced in Egypt at that time, ostensibly, I have no idea whether any of that really happened. There's no archaeological or other independent scientific evidence to support that any of that story is true. I consider it very likely a story of mythological dimensions, more than actual, but people will differ on these things. In any case, one can see the parallels. Owens, with his abilities to end droughts, with his abilities to cause UFO appearances, and many, many other things, seemed to have powers, a parallel to those of Moses. On one occasion, the parapsychologist D. Scott Rogo and I observed for a month or more Owen's ability to manipulate the movements of a hurricane in the Caribbean off the coast of Florida. Day by day, he was doing this. One direction, another direction, and reporting to us in advance of what was going on. All of this is well documented. Today, there are still hundreds of people who have witnessed these demonstrations of Ted Owens. And I have been in touch with many of them and have their affidavits on record. For example, and this is a Moses-like phenomenon, I have the affidavit of attorney Sidney Margulies in the Philadelphia area who was working in a law office where Ted Owens was employed. Back in the late 1960s, about 1967, when Owens was bragging to him as they were standing in the stairwell of this office building that he could control the weather. And Margulies said to him, well, if you're so good, why don't you make lightning strike right there at the Camden Bridge? And Owens pointed his finger. It was a cloudy day, but not lightning. And within a minute, a bolt of lightning came out of the sky, the only bolt of lightning in the sky at that time, and struck that bridge right where Owens was pointing. And that attorney, Sidney Margulies, wrote an affidavit attesting to his witnessing that fact, and I have spoken to him, and I have other affidavits of exactly that phenomenon, Owens' ability to point his finger and concentrate and cause lightning to strike. That's an unusual phenomenon, and we know scientifically speaking that the odds of predicting when lightning is going to strike are less than one in a million. That event alone is highly significant from a scientific point of view. Well, Owens tried throughout his career to encourage the United States government to work with him; he felt that our world was in great danger, that we're on the brink of a nuclear war and back then in the 60s and 70s many, many intelligent people were in agreement about the dangers that the world was in. I think these days it seems like somewhat of a less dangerous place than it did back then because of the Cold War and the hostilities between the communist world and the capitalist world that were going on at that time. And he believed that his intervention or the intervention of the UFOs was required literally to save the world. But he was laughed at. And when he was laughed at, as I've mentioned before, he sometimes produced demonstrations that were unpleasant in nature. In one instance, he came to San Francisco in the summer of 77, and he announced that he was here to end a drought. We were having another drought. And he walked into the offices of the San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle in order to make his public proclamation that he, the UFO prophet, had come to end the drought. And the guard in the lobby literally kicked him right out the door. So he said he would have to teach the people of California a lesson. And instead of ending the drought, he would cause forest fires. He said forest fires would be caused by lightning, his trademark. And I was a witness to this. Within weeks, 300,000 acres in California had burned. A thousand fires had been started by lightning. It was one of the worst devastations. It affected not only California, but the western states as well. And I was horrified. I was aghast. And I guess I have a little more distance from the phenomenon then. I actually went to the Examiner myself to report what I had documented because Owens had sent me in writing his prediction that he would cause these fires and then they had occurred, and I met with a reporter who was a close friend of an associate of mine. We met at a restaurant for dinner and I began to explain to him the whole sequence of events. And he got so indignant that I was telling him this preposterous tale that he got up and walked out of the dinner table, and I have never seen that reporter, whose name was Sandy Zane, since that time well over 20 years ago. But that was the problem of getting people to take this phenomenon seriously. I'll be back again after these messages. Hello again, I'm Jeffrey Mishlove, host of Virtual You, and I've been talking about my 11-year research with the UFO prophet, the PK man, Ted Owens, and I guess I've been tantalizing you, audience members, by telling you that what this program is about is contacting space intelligences. Ted Owens wrote the book, How to Contact Space People. It was published by Saucerian Press in 1969 in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Well, that book is a rare, out-of-print classic now. And I'm about to, for the rest of this program, talk about that process of contacting space intelligences. I've really given you a lot of background about Ted Owens because I think it's important that people understand the range and the depth of the phenomenon that we're discussing. It's the kind of phenomenon that might be called in the classic Greek sense, daimonic. You might think from a Christian theological perspective, it's daimonic. And many Christian theologians think that UFO phenomenon are the work of the devil. But in the Greek sense of the term, a daimon was a spirit that had both positive and negative qualities. And that seems to be more of an appropriate way to classify the Owens phenomenon and the space intelligences with which he worked. Now, he had a training program himself. He had students. I interviewed a number of these students. One was named Jade Swan, and she had a cousin named Janice Leslie, a cousin or a sister-in-law. Now, I've lost touch with both of these women, and I'm mentioning their names now because it's been well over a decade since I interviewed either of them. But perhaps they'll hear this program, or somebody who knows them will hear this program and urge them to get in touch with me through Wisdom Radio or through the virtual you program or through my website, www. mishlove. com. That's my name. Now, they took his program and they were interested in using it the way he used it. They were interested in going out into the woods late at night and making lights appear in the sky. And they described the many different kinds of lights. There were some that would kind of zip across the sky and they called them the Zippers. And then there were other lights that would hover sort of right above the treetops. And they went on many adventures like this after being trained by Ted Owens to do this kind of work. I also took the Ted Owens training program and I'm going to describe it as we move on through the hour here. And I've interviewed other people who have as well. Ted Owens told people that this kind of a contact with an other dimensional intelligence could be used in many different ways. If you had his makeup, his personality, his stamina, you might want to go out and cause UFO sightings or poltergeist types of appearances, but other people use the same kind of training purpose for healing. And when Ted Owens asked me when I finally took his training in January of 1986, about a year before his death, he asked me, Jeffrey, what would you like to do? What is your purpose? What is your intention in going through this training program to contact space intelligences? And I thought about it. And I said, Ted, what I really want to do with my life is to become an effective communicator to the public at large about the realities of the spirit. about the realities of parapsychology and consciousness. I was at a low point in my life because even though I had my doctoral degree in parapsychology, even though I had been on the radio going back to the 1970s, I had been slandered and libeled because after I received my doctoral degree I had become a target for the skeptics. It was intolerable to them that a person like me, would be a public figure, would have the visibility and the public credibility to talk about the kinds of phenomenon that I was researching and experiencing. And they had launched a big effort to actually get the University of California to revoke my doctoral degree in parapsychology, which incidentally is the only doctoral degree in parapsychology ever awarded by an accredited American university. It was a landmark of sorts, and it remains so today, 20 years later. And when they were unsuccessful in getting that degree revoked, an article about me was published, arranged by the skeptics. It was published in Psychology Today, which then had a circulation of nearly a million readers. Claiming that I probably really didn't even get the degree, and if I did get it, I certainly didn't deserve it because I was nothing but a bad person all the way around. And I felt mortified, and I withdrew from the field, and I did other things. I got my training in psychotherapy. I got business experience. I studied computers and computer programming, anything but being public in the fields that I loved of consciousness, of spirituality and parapsychology. But I asked Ted Owens then for that gift, that I could be out there in the world, that I could be an effective communicator once again for the realities that I knew so deeply. And I can tell you this, within a few months after taking that training, I launched my Thinking Aloud television series. In 1986, it was launched in May. We have now been producing programs every week since then, continuously, and we've been out on the satellite all over North America every week since then. The TV program is carried by Wisdom Television, and it's carried by public television stations throughout the United States and Canada. So I got my wish. And I have to say, that connection with the space intelligences was very positive and wholesome for me. And now, dear listeners, let me ask you to think: if you could contact space intelligences with such powers, what would you wish for? What would be your mission, your purpose, what would you like to fulfill? I'll be back. Welcome back to Virtual You. I'm your host, Jeffrey Mishlove, and I've been talking today about contacting space intelligences. My experience in this realm is multifaceted. It has to do with 11 years of a personal relationship in a research project with the UFO prophet and PK man, Ted Owens. An individual who died really in relative obscurity in 1987, but during the time that I knew him, he produced hundreds of what would have to be called miraculous events, healings, weather control demonstrations, demonstrations of UFO appearances, training other people to produce such unusual phenomena. During that time, I was also, I had a long-standing interest in UFOs. I had a long-standing interest in parapsychology, and a long-standing interest in spirituality, mysticism, and consciousness, and actually a long-standing interest in an important question relating to space intelligences, and that is the mathematics of higher dimensions of space. We talk about the spirit worlds. We talk about aliens coming from other dimensions of space and time. We have dream worlds. We have the worlds of shamanism. We have the worlds of mythology, the worlds of the gods and the goddesses and many, many other mythological creatures. Now, I postulate that if there is any reality at all to these ideas of other worlds, of spirit worlds and dream worlds and a life after death, well, if these things exist, they have to exist somewhere. And since they apparently don't exist in the three-dimensional space that we observe through our normal senses, perhaps there is another space where they exist. Perhaps other dimensions of space beside the three dimensions that we normally experience with our senses. And indeed mathematicians have for a long time known that it's no problem to mathematically postulate other dimensions of space. And for probably over a century now, mathematicians have asked questions like this. If there were, let's say, four dimensions of space or five dimensions of space, what would it be like geometrically, topologically? I mean, how would you, if you had a sphere and you wanted to take a pile up a bunch of spheres, How would they pile up in higher dimensions of space? You know, you can take a quarter and set it down on a table and you can pack six quarters and they all fit around the one quarter. That's on one dimension, a single plane. Actually, to be precise, two dimensions. A plane is two dimensions and in three dimensions you can take a sphere and pack other spheres around the sphere like a pile of cannonballs. In higher dimensions of space, each time you get more and more of these higher dimensional objects you can pack against each other. So mathematicians have studied this for a long time and there are even people who have been gifted with the ability to visualize with perfect clarity what higher dimensions of space are like. And they've been studied by mathematicians. But now we live in an era in which physics itself, mainstream physics, considers higher dimensions of space to be not only routine but even necessary. Probably today, the leading theory in mainstream physics is known as superstring theory, and it is the theory that unifies Einstein's relativity, his general relativity, his theory of cosmology that deals with the force of gravity, deals with the size and age of the universe as a whole, the physical universe as we know it, with quantum theory. Quantum theory is a very powerful theory developed in the early part of the 20th century that accounts for all of the properties of subatomic particles. So when you can unify general relativity with quantum theory, you're unifying the very, very large with the very, very small. And physicists today are hopeful that superstring theory will be something akin to a final theory, a theory of everything that is known in physics. Well, the unusual thing about superstring theory, it seems to be working quite well. There are now thousands of physicists engaged in the project of building and refining all of the nuances of superstring theory. But that is a theory that does indeed entail higher dimensions of space. To be precise, nine dimensions of space. One dimension of time. So it's a ten-dimensional theory. And when you get into more of the fine points of superstring theory, you see that the ten dimensions unfold into maybe 24 and 36 and up and up and up to virtually infinite numbers of dimensions of space. But the thought is that when the universe first expanded at the moment of creation from the Big Bang, that The three dimensions that we experience with our senses expanded. But the other nine dimensions of space remained as small as they were at the time of the Big Bang, a kind of infinitesimally small point of space. So we don't experience those dimensions. Our bodies, you might say, are too big, but they're there. And our minds perhaps do experience those dimensions. Perhaps we experience them in dreaming. Perhaps after we die, after we separate from our bodies, we can exist in those dimensions because even though they're tiny, tiny, infinitesimally tiny, size may not matter. We might exist and be no larger than a subatomic particle or a quark ourselves moving and vibrating through these ten dimensions and other dimensions. Size may have a totally different meaning for us. So when I think about these higher dimensions of space, I have a mathematical, scientific appreciation for the fact that they're not absurd and that they very well may relate to what we think of as alien encounters and mythological encounters and life after death and dreams. I'll be back with more after these messages. Welcome back to Virtual You. I'm Jeffrey Mishlove. We've been talking about space intelligence, and now I'd like to share with you one of the exercises for contacting space intelligences that was taught to me by Ted Owens. I'd like you to begin by thinking for yourself what you really want most for your life. What would be the most meaningful, the most rewarding experience that you could have? An experience that would fulfill your soul. Think of that. And also think about what you would like to contribute to this world. And hold those thoughts in your mind. And let me ask you now to Close your eyes, if you would, if you feel comfortable doing that, and visualize yourself moving through space. Traveling to a very, very distant part of the universe. Beyond our solar system. Beyond our galaxy. Beyond the cluster of galaxies of which our Milky Way galaxy is a part. Moving out farther and farther into the very depths of the universe itself. As you get farther and farther, you'll notice that there is a massive superstructure, the Great Attractor, the Great Wall of Galaxies. The huge structure is as if the galaxies themselves are the membranes of a giant cell and that the universe is a living organism. But we can move even, even further so that our local cell in the universe becomes smaller and smaller and fades away. And we're experiencing the wholeness and the wonder and the radiance of the universe as a whole. Coming to a place of great beauty. A place where the sky is blue, turquoise blue. And there are pink clouds and yellow clouds in the sky, a place of great comfort and pleasantness. And imagine, if you will, a glass sphere, a crystalline clear sphere suspended in this brilliant blue and pink sky. And allow yourself, as you float, through space, floating through the universe, to just enter into that sphere in your imagination. Entering into that sphere, you shed the gross part of your nature and you become like a spirit, being yourself, freed from, although you're not even in a physical body, but freed from any heaviness, freed from a sense of emotional attachment. The pure essence within you, there in that sphere. And there you'll find a place where you can settle, a chair, a place where you can sit. And you'll see a similar place across from you. And a being is there, a being of great beauty and wisdom. Perhaps an older man or an older woman or an androgynous being. An ancient being. And as you look at the face of that ancient being, you see many things. You may be frightened, but above all, you'll feel great peace and bliss, and knowledge, letting go of fear, and just communing with that being, that being from beyond space and time as we think of it; not a word is said, but knowledge and wisdom are shared. You feel a sense growing within you of connection with your life's purpose, of connection with your destiny; of connection with the inner resources that will enable you to function in a way that is more in tune with your own deepest nature, more in tune with your own spiritual essence, more in tune with God, in the finest way that you understand God to be, more in tune with nature. More in tune with the life force within you. Harmonizing your vibrations. Resynchronizing your energies. Clarifying your thoughts and your vision. And allow yourself to enjoy this communion. To enjoy this connection. To feel it flowing within your being. Knowing that even as you experience this beautiful crystalline place in the far reaches of the universe, you're also listening to wisdom radio in a body on planet Earth. And now, gradually, gently, allowing yourself to return to that body, bringing with you all the memories of this encounter, bringing with you the knowledge of the communion that you experienced, bringing with you the sense of connection, knowing that you can reestablish this contact with this great, wise, ancient one. Opening your eyes, returning to your room, looking about, knowing that you're listening to Virtual You on Wisdom Radio. And I am your host, Jeffrey Mishlove. It has been a pleasure sharing this two-hour program with you, exploring space intelligence, exploring really human potential and its possibilities, and I shall return again after these messages. The music that you're listening to for Virtual You was composed by Gary Takazian and produced for Virtual You by Lars Spivak. If you are interested in this radio program on Wisdom Radio, Virtual You is broadcast every weekday evening at 8 p. m. California time, where I am live, generally speaking, although not today. 11 p. m. Eastern Time. And I encourage you to listen often, and I also encourage you to visit my website, www. mishlove. com. That's my name, Jeffrey Mishlove. I think of my name in a way as representing who I am. Love for everything. Love for the whole. Love for the high and the low, the big and the small, the old and the young. Mishlove, M-I-S-H-L-O-V-E. I spell it the way it's pronounced. And I invite you to log on to my website. You'll learn many things about the affiliations and wonderful organizations with which I've had contact and the many guests past, present, and future on this program. Well, we've had two hours together exploring the many dimensions and wonders of contact with space intelligence, from the spiritual to the shamanistic to the UFO dimensions and the life of Ted Owen, something like a Pecos Bill or a Paul Bunyan, a larger-than-life folk character who I had the great privilege of knowing for 11 years before his death in 1987. Thank you so much for being with me in this program, allowing me to share one of the deepest nuggets of gold of my life. I wish You well. Good Night.

He might well be the world's most controversial— and most unorthodox psychic. He is Ted Owens of Virginia, and he claims to have established a strong communication link with UFO intelligences. BY BILL R. QUINALTY Other-Dimensional forces are saturating this area,” remarked the husky, middle-aged man sitting next to me in the car. His voice had a ring of authority and, during the two days ahead, I would become convinced myself of the existence of that mysterious “Other-Dimensional” (OD) power to which he referred. The man?—Ted Owens. But he is not just an ordinary man—at least not by ordinary standards. He is a very controversial (and somewhat unorthodox) psychic! With an impressive background of ESP research and many related mental/psychic skills, plus experience gained from diverse professions, it was probably only natural that Ted would develop extraordinary psychic abilities. In ages past, he might have been called a prophet, magician or wizard. Today he is most widely known as “PK man.” (PK stands for psychokinetic) From the psychic viewpoint, Ted Owens may have advanced far ahead of his time, because he not only predicts coming events but—with help from the UFOs—actually commands the forces of nature to bring them about on occasions! A virtual library of documented evidence and testimonials of ‘OD’ miracles now back him up. Prior to our actual meeting, I had learned of the ‘PK’ man due to my interest in metaphysics and psychic matters. But merely reading was not enough. Determined to see for myself what type of person he really was—in addition to expanding new mental skills—I set out for Cape Charles, Virginia, in July of 1973. I had expected the psychic to be a super-cool, slightly aloof personality. Reality proved otherwise—psychics are human too! In fact, I had not known ARGOSY UFO 21 Continued on page 56 === **Page: 3 of 9** TED OWENS Continued from page 21 exactly where we were meeting, I could have mistaken this heavily-framed, casually-dressed gentleman in brown shirt and black trousers for an average "man on the street." Upon approaching closer, however, I instinctively sensed an aura of power radiating from him. I then realized I was in the presence of a dynamic person. Ted Owens has accomplished nearly 500 proven "miracles"—true! That is simple fact, and the list grows longer daily. Though he does not "beat around the bush" about his accomplishments, one should be careful not to confuse this directness (typical of Ted) with arrogance. A family man, who is quite fond of his loved ones, Ted says, "... My children and my wife ... are my life. Without them, there would be no meaning." His activities and lifestyle are unpretentious. One feels welcome in the friendly, warm atmosphere of the Owens' home—an old-style, but neat, two-story building, nestled in pleasantly simple surroundings. With the fantastic psychokinetic strength he has developed throughout years of intense training, this master psychic claims to have literally unleashed powerful storms and caused hurricanes to change their course, when desirable; yet he has a subtle gentleness about him that is not always apparent but that is recognized and trusted by children. Both "Beau" (Bograde Owens, age 10) and "Teddy" (age 2½) regard their dad as a real pal. And, why not? He's a man who always finds time to lovingly hug or play around with his youngest son Teddy, no matter how busy his life may be. Like any other human being, psychic or not, Ted has down-to-earth traits too. Among other things, he appreciates good food, ("Chef" Owens prepared a scrumptious breakfast on my second day there) and enjoys an occasional cold beer during hot weather. The Owens' are not petty, but simply likable people—as some folks might say, "neighborly." "Just make yourself at home," Ted admonished immediately after my arrival. Ted's manner of speaking was notable. He talks with conviction and his brisk conversation reminded me of a radio or television commentator's style. After introducing ourselves, we shook hands and Ted motioned me to his car. As we stepped inside, I glanced back at the quaint combination drugstore-bus station I had just left, situated in the heart of downtown Cape Charles (a small, quiet community on Virginia's eastern shore peninsula). I had left Norfolk at 4:30 that morning on a northbound bus and arrived in Cape Charles at 6 a.m.—the early departure being necessary since busses stop in Cape Charles only twice a day. After exchanging a few more casual comments with Ted, I looked around once more. We drove slowly down the street and I observed a few people starting to mill about. A couple of "old timers" could be seen sitting outside a store, talking—possibly sharing past experiences still vibrant in their memories. Across the street, a woman was busily toting a bag of groceries to her car. A young couple strolled by, oblivious to all but their own emotional world. The whole business area, consisting entirely of a few small stores, one food market and a gas station further down the street, reminded me of similar country towns in my own native state (Arkansas). At first we discussed conventional topics. Then Ted changed the conversation: "I'll take you for a short drive to show you the area around." A few sailboats and small fishing craft could already be seen dotting the water. In the distance, the long Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel was partially visible, and a new morning sun was peaking through the clouds as if to assure us of a clear day ahead. As we approached the curved cape road outlining a beach strip, a rustic wood-framed hotel appeared on my right. "It's all rather scenic," I remarked, glancing down toward the beach that was now coming into view. Ted agreed, emphasizing that he also liked the area because it was far removed from larger cities with their pollution and noise. But, "Most of all, I've always wanted to buy my own place and settle down near the ocean some day," he added. Reflecting his innate love for the sea. I then remembered that there was another great psychic who had settled down and carried on his life's work not too far from this very spot—Edgar Cayce, the famous "sleeping prophet" of Virginia Beach, who is said to have literally tapped the Universal Mind. A wisdom far beyond his own seemed to guide Cayce from childhood, as he gave fantastic health readings and life-changing philosophy to thousands. There are definite parallels between the two Virginia psychics. First, Edgar Cayce practiced the art of healing by utilizing a (then, unorthodox) system that combined psychological and physical methods, tailored to individual patients. He also believed in higher spiritual intelligences, who apparently channeled vital information through him while in a trance. In addition, many of Cayce's prophecies, like Ted's, were of the earth-shaking variety: earthquakes, shifting of large land masses, violent disruption and sinking of continents, and other dramatic changes in the physical (as well as moral) planet environment. (However, out of such turmoil an age of love and enlightenment is eventually to emerge.) With the exception of so-called "readings," Ted has done all the psychic marvels that Cayce has done, perhaps more. However, his system has expanded far beyond the confines that limit most modern psychics. He works with mysterious but powerful "Other-Dimensional" mechanisms, which, according to Ted, "are not within the framework of this world's physical laws." There are testimonials of healing in Ted's files that back this claim—some cases were beyond the help of conven- 56 === **Page: 4 of 9** tional medical science, when he stepped in and turned the tide. Nevertheless, Ted does not oppose the medical profession. He urges the use of doctors and medicine in circumstances where it is practical, but reminds people that the "giant subconscious mind" can also be depended on to supplement medical or dental aid. At one period during Ted's long years of work with psychic forces, he came in contact with advanced beings who are not of this world. Evidently, they recognized his potential and singled him out as the one-in-a-billion earth creatures worth establishing communication with. Called "SI's" (space intelligences) by Ted, these awesome entities have formed a link between Ted Owens and themselves. They are the underlying influence behind many of the psychic's fantastic "miracles." As to their ultimate purpose, Ted has only been able to conclude that they are working within some kind of universal framework. Part of their mission at present is to get this sick planet back into balance and to save nature from man's contamination. Through their spokesman, Ted, the SI's are also trying to get the attention of those in authority and impress upon them that they do exist and are trying to help us. It is also evident that the SI's stand by to defend the cause of justice, if mankind continues to disregard its moral responsibilities. Interrupting my wandering thoughts, Ted announced, "I just completed an experiment a few weeks ago at a large radar installation near here ... controlled the radar with my mind while experts watched." "It was rather strange how the whole thing came about," he added, candidly. Apparently Ted had an acquaintance who worked at the complex. While talking with him on the telephone one day, Ted was casually asked if he might be interested in seeing the installation. He admitted that he would like to visit, but that he knew tight security must surround such a place, since it was government-operated. Nevertheless, Mr. Owens was assured that much of the red tape could be cleared within a few days for him—and it was. After a brief tour of the station, Ted received a go-ahead from higher officials for a psychokinetic experiment that would demonstrate the awesome nature of what he terms "Other-Dimensional" powers. Ted stood near the center of the main complex for a while, observing its impressive electronic array. Then he gazed directly into a computer-linked radar console, as if in deep contemplation. Suddenly, mouths dropped and eyes widened as they fastened on the screen. The radar had suddenly "lit up like a Christmas tree!" From twenty to fifty UFOs appeared, streaks of light flashed, and, to top things off, a huge "shaft" of white, glowing light appeared across the screen. An amazed technician gasped with excitement—explaining later the reason for his reaction: The shaft was, he said, an indication that "a powerful force is coming from somewhere right in this room." "Don't you think it might be coming from my mind?" Ted inquired. (This phenomena, incidentally, is well documented. A notarized statement was signed by a government official at the installation.) Not fully realizing at the time just how much power he had unleashed in the area, Ted became somewhat concerned over the secondary effects of "OD" forces. "You see, Other-Dimensional energy takes weeks, sometimes months to wear off," he explained to me with a note of seriousness, pointing out that, although such was not purposely intended, it could cause adverse reactions in the atmosphere, affecting aircraft and possibly ships at sea, for miles around. We then drove to a restaurant along the nearby highway and had a quiet breakfast while discussing general topics, in addition to mysteries of the human mind. Ted described the "SI system," which I had wanted him to teach me (a mind conditioning program developed by him over the years, under the direction, he claims, of the Space Intelligence themselves.) Next, we stopped briefly at the motel where I was to spend the night and checked in. Ted went over the room thoroughly; turning on the television to check its operation, testing the firmness of the bed's mattress with his hand, and making sure things were in order. I later learned that there was good reason for this. First, I was told that a good, sound night's sleep would be essential, as a heavy build-up of "OD" energy would tax the body. Ted explained that "OD" recharges one's whole system during training, somewhat as a battery is recharged. Nevertheless, the body has to slowly adjust to such additional "voltage—by letting it settle, so to speak. (Once during our sessions, after Ted recommended a half-hour break, I was made even more aware of "OD" effects on one's system. I could almost sense a subtle, but vital, "electric" influence in the air. I took a short walk to a local cafe—and promptly dozed off while sipping coffee!) As for the television adjustment, apparently the SI's are able to project needed symbols and/or general communications into a television set, where they are absorbed and, in turn, used by one's deeper mental levels. While en route to Ted Owens' home, I asked numerous questions and absorbed more information. I was told of a recent trip he had made to California with his oldest son, and of the sighting of a "golden globe of light" by Ted, his boy, and another witness who happened by while they were traveling in the Arizona desert. (This incident is also documented.) Evidently, the SI's were observing the psychic throughout his trip. In addition, he was later directed to stop at a spot in the road, where he discovered a smooth, round rock, strongly resembling an alien face, complete with eyes, nose, mouth and other features. Ted wonders if perhaps this is a "petrified head" of some small UFO humanoid who once walked the earth ages ago. === **Page: 5 of 9** Before we entered Owens' house, Ted delighted in showing me a once-withered plant that had been transplanted and was showing marked signs of recup- eration. First we went through the spacious back yard, where I observed his pets-a small squirrel monkey and a white rabbit. As we approached for a closer observation, Ted explained: "The mother rabbit actually adopted the baby mon- key as her own." The little fel- low, sensing a stranger, was now clinging closely to his "mother's" back. Ted talked to the animals and we watched their antics a while before enter- ing the house. A large number of Ted Owens' uncanny demonstrations re- volve around a highly-advanced psychokinesis (mind over mat- ter) system, which in turn is linked up via his brain with Other-Dimensional ("OD") forces. "OD" energy normally functions outside of our own third-dimensional plane, and is awesome in its scope. The very possibility that such phenomena could exist fasci- nated me from the beginning. Later, on the basis of personal experience and observation, I was able to accept much of what Ted claimed himself. With a background in metaphysics, it was probably natural for me to recognize parallels between Ted's situation and certain bibli- cal events. For example, in Sun- day school most of us learned how prophets of old, such as Moses, Elijah and others com- manded nature's forces to do their bidding: Elijah caused "fire" (lightning?) to descend from "heaven." He also caused both draught and rain. Moses was constantly surrounded by paranormal events-influences potent enough to push aside a path in the sea, manifest "pil- lars" of fire and smoke, cause intense plagues, etc. In Ted's case, we seem to be dealing with similar Other-Dimensional phenomena-only with a more modern terminology being used to describe it. According to Ted, Other- Dimensional power expands- that is, like other things in na- ture, it grows with time-and is 58 essentially used to radiate a con- structive influence. The Space Intelligences are able to tap this energy directly, but they often relay it through Ted. (He uses "OD" in his healing work and to promote better weather condi- tions.) Extraordinary results have appeared in countless cases. Nevertheless, since Ted Owens works with the "SI's," who have a superior knowledge and better overall perspective of things, he admits he cannot al- ways "call the shots." Many plastic "SI" discs have been carefully and patiently charged with beneficial "OD" forces by Ted-then distributed to those in need of them. Heal- ings, protection, good luck, bet- ter jobs and other benefits are reported by people who wear the discs. Other-Dimensional forces ap- pear to be linked up with the uni- versal principle of cause and ef- fect, and Ted has been quite out- spoken in this area. He is con- cerned about mankind's con- tinued abuse of nature and disre- gard for moral responsibility. Perhaps the "bad seeds" we have sown over the years (war, intolerance, greed, etc.) are now bringing their unpleasant harvest in full force. Most psychics feel that the long build-up of negative energies has only started to un- leash unpleasant retribution. Logically, the Higher Intelli- gences would find it necessary to take appropriate steps towards normalizing conditions. Unfor- tunately, however, if the ancient prophets are on target, our planet could be in for a period of cataclysmic change brought about by natural and cosmic agents in order to purify it. Such assumptions coincide with the Space Intelligences' messages issued through Ted. One of their earliest communications was a warning to planet earth; yet, in the same note, the UFO/Inter- dimensional entities promised to help us, if we would only coop- erate with higher powers, with nature and with our fellow man. Ted has constantly tried to get proper recognition from gov- ernment spokesmen and scien- tific officials for his important work. For the most part, he has been dismissed lightly, without fair and unbiased consideration. Ted feels that disaster can be a- verted in numerous cases-in spite of ourselves-if we but wake up and take proper steps in time. But, we are told, it may already be too late! Beings of higher wisdom such as the SI's, wish to set a "salvage" plan in operation that will bring every- thing back into balance on this planet-and they indeed have the means to do it-but since they respect human choice, they will not force it down our throats. In a letter to various scientists observing his work, Ted ex- plains why the ways in which Other-Dimensional effects are manifested often seem so un- usual to humans: "The reason my psychic work is so hard and difficult to under- stand . . . is because I work other-dimensionally . . . with that half of my brain that the SI's changed, modified, to link my brain with/into their dimension. And being other-dimensional . . . the laws of that other dimen- sion do not apply to, or agree with, the physical laws in this dimension. But they will bring about cause and effect with our physical laws nonetheless. Why modify half of my human brain? Because, in this way, I can 'translate' the SI Other- Dimensional effects into this di- mension . . . so that (they) . . . can be understood in our own cause and effect language." Although a good percentage of Ted Owens' prophecies appear startling, they are often accom- panied by even more un believa- ble demonstrations. The evi- dence is impressive and well- documented. It would take a large volume to cover all the var- ied types of predictions and "miracles" Ted has to his ac- count. His first major psychokinetic experiments involved weather and other activities of nature. More specifically, they involved such activities as: drenching chosen areas with torrents of rainfall (for days at a time), un- leashing powerful thunder and lightning storms, and-believe it or not-directing and/or divert- ing the course of hurricanes! His === **Page: 6 of 9** book, How to Contact Space People contains accounts of these experiments, as well as the large east coast "blackout" ordered by Ted, which occurred in the late 1960s. One can only conclude that the SI's mean business; and, even though their initial purpose was to help us, they will not sit back at present and be passive while we senselessly try to destroy ourselves (and our world). The major areas covered by Ted's amazing psychic foresight in the last few years include: EXTREME WEATHER PHENOMENA Note the following headlines gleaned from US News and World Report (June 11, 1973): Odd Weather: No End in Sight. Among the unusual weather patterns that year were-- Heavy rainfall in the east, while... Drought was experienced in the northwest Floods "damaged crops over a vast area" An unprecedented volley of disastrous tornadoes occurred (169 in a four-day period!) In his November, 1971 news-letter, Ted had written: "My demonstrations will be...in the skies and heavens overlooking our earth," adding that it would be his own work and not involve the Space Intelligences. It is very interesting to note that the aforementioned odd weather news account stated that erratic jet streams flowing through the upper atmosphere were responsible for most of the unusual weather. You may inquire: "But can Other-Dimensional forces actually control the jet streams?" They did, according to Owens. EARTHQUAKES AND ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA Major quakes and minor tremors have also been plentiful in the 1970s. But a specific case loosely tied in with erratic atmospheric behavior (predicted by Ted) took place about mid-1972. Ted, in a letter to his circle of scientists and researchers, reminded them that he had been working to cause an earthquake in northern California. "One was produced," he affirmed, "...off target somewhat, but in the time frame specified." The major part of the quake occurred in Hawaii--200 miles southeast of Oahu Island on April 1, 1973. It was indeed quite mysterious at that! During the earthquake, the ionosphere apparently vanished, mystifying scientists considerably. Various other strange things "smacking of science-fiction" according to an AP report, also took place in the atmosphere shortly before a major tremor reached the largest island. Suddenly, long-wave radio signals, "began drifting and not making sense. The ground vibrated for about two hours," (after the quake first registered) whereas it should have ceased within about a half-hour span. One person was quoted as saying the quake "shook this island like a rug." Because of such unusual circumstances, one is tempted to conclude that a paranormal force was, in actual-ity, at work here. California was not entirely spared either: From the April 12, 1973 Costa Mesa Register, we read of, "The fourth earthquake in two weeks" which struck the Fontana-Rialto area west of San Bernardino (registering 3.5 on the Richter scale). One man was reportedly knocked out of bed, but "otherwise there were no reports of damage." On the same day tremors, registering 5.0 on the Richter scale were reported in Mexico City (as in the above account, however, reports of damage or casualties were not evident). FLOODS In August, 1972, Ted Owens again reminded contacts of the earlier prediction, adding: "Now I would assume from here on...planes might be in danger, and the water attack (catastrophic flooding) that I write of...might be even more dangerous than it has been." (Hurricane Agnes in West Virginia, floods in South Dakota, etc., not to mention the worst typhoon in Philippine history) "So here it is. The power I 'sent up' in 1971...has arrived." Re-ferring briefly to the "lag" in this particular prediction, Ted explained that there are occasional time variations due to dimensional differences between our world and that of the SI's. In 1971, Ted made comments on prior floods: "This (situation) was brought about...because my word of warning was not heeded...regarding further pollution. Now...the very air of the earth overhead...will be a no-man's land..." Each day new and formerly unknown dangers threaten an atmosphere already saturated with poison. Some experts say that we may have already passed the point of no return in atmospheric pollution. As Ted predicted in 1973, nature has truly started her war of retribution on man. We can expect more unusual weather patterns and drastic earth and atmospheric changes to come, warns Ted. WORLDWIDE DROUGHT In the latter part of 1972, the SI's informed Ted that they had set in motion drought conditions to "demonstrate their reality...their power to control the natural resources of our earth," and to teach "the human race a lesson it badly needs to learn...not to pollute and waste the earth's water." Note the following evidence: From the San Francisco Chronicle, June 14, 1973, we read the heading: "Dry Spell Worst in 25 Years." The report says, "The United Nations early warning system for famine is signaling a red alert." Major world areas such as Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East were affected by prolonged dry spells. Ted realizes that some people will claim that droughts occurred prior to his prediction, but he points out that these scattered situations did not all jell together in a specific time/group pattern until shortly afterward. For the short period involved, it seems they intensified and multiplied unusually fast! Realizing the harshness of these lessons, Ted assured correspondents that he felt "very deeply for the people all over the earth," who were deprived of water; he noted that === **Page: 7 of 9** the droughts were not something he wished on the earth. Instead it was a temporary, though drastic, measure taken by Higher Intelli-gence who have the whole pro-gressive cosmic plan in mind, not just one egotistical, un-cooperative little planet. In spite of man's inhumanity toward his fellow beings, Ted has not completely given up hope for the human race. For that reason he has won SI ap-proval to carry out a plan: Will-ing to go the "second mile" rather than merely express con-cern, Ted volunteered to use his own personal psychokinetic ability to influence nature and work to replenish stricken areas. His offers to help countries if their officials would simply con-tact him are a matter of record. But, in spite of proven creden-tials, there seem to be no au-thorities interested in such quick, unorthodox methods. Nonetheless, Ted Owens is no "quack," nor is he a "crackpot." He is a man of both high ideals and intelligence - a member of "Mensa", an inter-national organization requiring an exceptionally high IQ for membership, a devoted family man, and an individual with straight-forward, simple man-ners who is deeply concerned about the problems of our coun-try and our world. His warning to those who would try to obtain and abuse supernormal powers from advanced spiritual entities leaves no room for doubt: "If they feel you will use them self-ishly (against your fellow man), they will ignore you, for the SI's are only interested in finding and developing those humans who will use their new powers to ad-vance the human race creatively and constructively!" It is a fact that Ted Owens has used paranormal powers to success-fully rid select areas of drought, even though proper credit has not always been given where due. It is clear to many scientists and far sighted thinkers that, through nature's erratic pat-terns, she is trying to tell us something vital. The point is, will we take heed? A most unusual warning, re-cently circulated by Ted Owens concerns what he calls the "rich gang" (an international under-ground organization of economic manipulators). These men, he feels, are the power be-hind much of the political cor-ruption and inner turmoil in this country. He stresses that they try to gain control of key officials in various countries through ad-vanced psychological tactics, fi-nancial power or graft, and occa-sionally, downright violence in subtle forms. We have only re-cently discovered a few small exposed "cogs" within the vast machinery built by these power-crazed, wealth-hungry men. The largest portion still remains well hidden - and, as long as individuals allow greed to rule their better judgment, it will remain so. Ted does not beat around the bush about the "rich gang's" diabolical objectives: "Their purpose was to 'take' the world . . . by first gaining con-trol of the U.S., the most power-ful country . . . on down the line . . . so that they could make and dictate our policies, rig the mar-ket, control things," says Ted. "The only shield against them . . . is principle, morals, ethics. Their money goes over, under and around just about every-body's principles, morals, and ethics . . . except a handful. They'll be back with a 'new ballgame' in time ahead," warns Ted. He thinks this "gang" may have been the "incredibly intel-ligent brains" behind numerous assassinations of progressive leaders. Other murders and "dirty work" are made to look ac-cidental. The "rich gang" gains governmental advantage by set-ting up puppets within certain essential areas of the particular system's structure. Whether the puppets are aware of it or not, they can be used to advantage by the diabolical manipulators. Ac-cording to Ted, these men are "picked . . . and patiently ma-neuvered into position." The "rich gang" is not just made up of dishonest, wealthy financial Barons or Mafia types; it may also include corrupt individuals who are their "dupes" and who have infiltrated the ranks of poli-tics, religion, business and vari-ous organizations, such as un-ions, industry, media and higher educational institutions. Unfor-tunately, since a large majority of the people in our land today are apathetic, their attitudes add immensely to the "rich gang's" success. We can gain courage however, from the fact that spiritual forces such as the SI's are causing a "chemicalization" (or stirring of negative forces like this to the surface, much as im-purities are brought to the sur-face of a liquid mixture and skimmed off for purification). It is a painful, trying process, but a necessary one. SPACE EFFORTS The SI's appear to be keeping a close eye on our space shots, probably to insure that we do not spread our destructive tenden-cies and greed to other worlds. Some noteworthy researchers into extraterrestrial and Other-Dimensional theories, such as Brinsley LePoer Trench, feel that earth was placed in a type of "quarantine" in the dis-tant past by space people. They tell us that once enough men of strong character, linked with higher perception, emerge from this present challenging age, however, our planet will gravi-tate toward harmony, and the quarantine will be lifted. Earth will again have open communi-cation with advanced races - as did the ancient masters. In the meantime, "they (the SI's) sim-ply do not want us humans 'up there' fouling outer space as we have 'fouled' our own nest," remarks Ted in his typical direct manner. News media accounts of instances where space shots were dogged by difficulties are quite plentiful. In addition, the space programs involving as-tronauts have often had a pattern of bad luck mysteriously clinging to them. Such events are now a matter of history, so they will not be covered in detail here. Suffice it to say, the troubles have been many. For example, consider the Skylab missions. Skylab III was "peppered with problems from the beginning," according to a spokesman. One AP report quotes the flight director as say-ing that troubles had been so numerous, "I have the feeling somebody doesn't like us," add 62 === **Page: 8 of 9** ing later, "It can't be real." Ted's reaction to this was . . . "It always seems with SI mira- cles good and/or bad . . . 'it can't be real!'" CELEBRITY TRAGEDIES Ted has accurately predicted the tragic fate of a number of movie stars or well known personalities—for instance, the suicide of a government official (Congressman Mills), the di- vorce of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, the death of several celebrities within a two week period . . . Robert Ryan, Veronica Lake, Joe E. Brown, Lon Chaney and Jack Hawks. PRESIDENT NIXON Over five years ago, Ted predicted that President Nixon would not be able to complete his term in office for some reason. In What the Seers Pre- dict for 1971, by Warren Smith (Lancer Publications), Ted says: "President Nixon will not end in office. Something most unusual will occur, and he either will re- sign or be forced out of office." THE FUTURE As to the future, here is a summary of things we may ex- pect. (Many are already well un- derway): * more inflation and eventual depression * failing crops * insect invasions * shortages of food and water * negative influences from outer space * more drastic earth changes (in the form of unusual weather, earthquakes, etc.) * discoveries of new lifeforms in space. * more exposure of corrup- tion in "high places" There is a positive note to add to such bleak news as the above: The SI's have led Ted into new, expanded areas of assignment concerning constructive OD. So far, he has successfully ex- perimented with "coding" numerous SI disks with OD mechanisms, then spreading them over large areas—such as farms. The objective is "to pro- duce favorable weather and growing conditions," and also, "to control insect infestation of crops." Ted writes: "My new project . . . told to me by the SI's just last week (and I had been stand- ing by for months waiting for their instructions) . . . is to get around the world, putting things right that go wrong . . . by using OD mechanisms and powers (stopping destructive volcanos; blocking hurricanes from hitting land mass; and so on and on in a thousand different mediums). "All of the above, of course . . . is positive and constructive . . . and they have 'jumped me up' to a higher plateau . . . re- quiring much more issuance of OD power on my part . . . so evidently my mental power has grown much more this past year, or they would not consider me ready for this assignment." From the moment I met Ted Owens, unusual things hap- pened! Most of my initial curio- sity over his work centered around that mysterious group of entities Ted calls SI's (space in- telligences). While with him, I continually had the feeling we were not alone! Was he indeed in contact with higher intelli- gences, as claimed? Ted had told me that the SI's kept him under constant observation with one invisible UFO craft hovering overhead at all times—no matter where he was. However, I did not expect them to provide us with an impressive demonstra- tion soon after my arrival! The first phenomena occurred at Ted's home where I was to re- ceive training in the SI System mentioned earlier. Early in the training sessions, I had sensed a presence of some kind within the room, followed by a strong feel- ing that I was under close obser- vation. Instinctively, my impression was that this was a friendly influence so there was no alarm. And the "third per- son" did not limit him (or her) self to just one demonstration. A factual description, recorded by Ted on the spot, gives the details of this case: "At 6 P.M. Bill and I (Ted Owens) seated ourselves at a table at a local restaurant to have dinner. The waitress called over to Bill and me from a distance of 20 feet away: 'How many of you? Are there three of you?' Bill and I looked at each other puzzled. We were sitting at a table by ourselves, no other people within 30 feet. I called the waitress over, remembering that Bill had experienced sensing a third person present in my office today, when in fact there was none, and asked her why she had asked if there were three at our table. She said, 'Why I thought I saw another person sitting with you!' I was stunned. Two differ- ent people today, strangers to each other, and in different geo- graphical locations . . . had seen or sensed another person near me!" A placemat—the only paper immediately available on which to write—was signed by the waitress and witnessed by myself. Ted still has it in his files. "The SI's are directing vari- ous people to me for training," Ted had informed me earlier. His task was to wake up these "sleepers" to a fuller psychic potential. But, from that time onward, their progress would be measured in proportion to their own initiative. According to Owens, the SI's could, quite log- ically, appoint people from all walks of life to work with di- rectly. However, he emphasizes that the requirements are very challenging and require strong character as well as mental dis- cipline. Ted explains that the SI's have ingenious methods of testing one's real motivations— such as dream projections test- ing reactions to different simu- lated situations in these dreams. The fact remains that only the SI's themselves know whom they will ultimately select as contacts and coworkers. The training sessions with Ted Owens were most memorable. In addition to giving the subject the ability to program his mind into positive patterns, Ted states that he "recharges the bat- teries" psychically—meaning that their whole system is ener- gized while conditioning takes place. One might compare the psychic channel, Ted, to a sort of receiver/transmitter for Other- Dimensional forces. Basically, the program deals with all essen- tial areas of a person's makeup (mental, spiritual, physical). In === **Page: 9 of 9** Before I joined the Payroll Savings Plan all I could save was string. When it comes to saving money, most of us can use all the help we can get. Joining the Payroll Savings Plan is one easy way to force yourself to save. When you sign up, an amount you specify is set aside from each paycheck and used to buy U.S. Savings Bonds. It's automatic. Everything is done for you. And now there's a bonus interest rate on all U.S. Savings Bonds-for E Bonds, 534% when held to maturity of 5 years, 10 months (4% the first year). That extra 34%, payable as a bonus at maturity, applies to all Bonds issued since June 1, 1970... with a comparable improvement for all older Bonds. Stick with the plan and before you know it you'll have a bankroll waiting. That's when you'll find you can do a lot more with money than you can with string. Bonds are safe. If lost, stolen, or destroyed, we replace them. When needed, they can be cashed at your bank. Tax may be deferred until redemption. And always remember, Bonds are a proud way to save. Take stock in America. Now Bonds pay a bonus at maturity. The U.S. Government does not pay for this advertisement. It is presented as a public service in cooperation with The Department of the Treasury and The Advertising Council. 66 addition, Ted often has the uncanny ability to 'psyche out' certain problem areas, injecting a more personal approach toward specific 'hang-ups' when needed. During breakfast Saturday morning, as we discussed present world conditions and our country's domestic problems, Ted pointed out the need for better political leadership in our country, for stronger officials with greater integrity to steer us through the storms of social and political unrest and turmoil. I could see that he was greatly concerned about the world's present situation. I was not told just exactly how the SI's plan to deal with such conditions on this planet, but I was made to realize that, in the larger perspective of things, their purpose is constructive. In spite of occasional "chastisement," the SI's are here to implement a positive plan to salvage this planet before it is too late. By working through people and events, they are bringing about a needed balance. Remembering various supernormal interventions described in Biblical accounts, I asked, "Could the SI's be compared to angels of ancient times?" "They were probably called angels back then," affirmed Ted, stressing that early men, with a limited technical background, would see them from a slightly different perspective than we do and, therefore, attach a different label. But whether seen from the eyes of ancients or moderns, these UFO entities possess vast knowledge of the universe far beyond the realm of known science. From previous articles on Ted, I learned that the SI's are from another dimension entirely outside our own space/time continuum and that they possess fantastic powers that could make our most cherished marvels look puny by comparison. They pro- vide the channel for the 'OD' powers. Why they selected Ted as a contact is yet another lengthy story which has been covered well in numerous other magazine articles (See Saga Magazine: August and September, 1970; March and April, 1971). Nearly a dozen books by noted writers in the occult/ psychic field also describe his works. Ted is certainly not a "fly by night" operator. He claims the SI's have been working with him since childhood. For over 50 years, he has been involved in numerous mental/psychic innovations including the initial ESP experiments at Duke University years ago. And his communications with space intelligences is the result of painstaking effort over a large number of years. Presently he is in touch with various scientists who are observing his psychokinetic experiments. When a man devotes most of his life to developing powerful mental and psychic aptitudes, he should have ample basis for claiming psychokinetic (mind over matter) ability. One thing is evident: Profit has not been Ted's major motive. He has unselfishly given much time and effort to the SI's plan (to save this planet), while also saddled with the responsibility of supporting his family. Sometimes the going has been rough, because no one has seemed interested in giving the SI work the support it needs in order for Ted to be freer to devote more time to his research; yet he has often used his ability to help numerous people in need without asking compensation. Though his approach is unusual in comparison to most other psychics, Ted might truly be considered a master psychic-perhaps an essential earth link to other dimensions. One might even call him a UFO Prophet. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

But take a look at the evidence: sightings of UFOs by mariners on the open sea, strange radar signals, eerie lights from the depths...* BY IVAN T. SANDERSON ONE evening in the Antarctic, aboard an icebreaker participating in the U.S. Navy's Operation Deep Freeze, Dr. Rubens J. Villela watched in amazement as suddenly something came rearing out of the sea, through no less than thirty-seven feet of ice and went up into the sky like a vast, silvery bullet. The icebreaker was in Admiralty Bay, facing the South Atlantic Ocean. As it was an extremely cold day and all other personnel were below deck, the only other witnesses were the helmsman and the officer on watch. Further, these witnesses saw only the end of the strange perfor- mance because they were busy with their charts. But what they did see was quite enough: enormous blocks of ice, hurled high in the air, that came cascading down around the hole burst through the thick ice-sheet, and the water in the hole roiling and apparently boiling, while masses of steam issued from both the hole and the descending ice. It might be a frightening question to ask, but are there rational creatures living under the ocean? Have parts of the ocean bed, possibly around the Indian Ocean, been colonized by beings from outer space? In other words, could some of the ARGOSY UFO 33 === **Page: 2 of 13** many mysterious lights reported as seen under the seas and oceans be evidence of "civilizations" flourishing on their bottoms? It may come as a shock to UFO buffs to learn that, by actual count, more than fifty percent of all so-called sightings of UFOs have occurred over, coming over, plunging into, or coming out of water. Take another example. Sometime in 1963, the United States Navy conducted some exercises to train personnel in the detection and tracking of underwater craft. The maneuvers were conducted off Puerto Rico some 500 miles southeast of the continental United States. All reports seem to agree that there were five "small" naval vessels concerned, but in more than one account, the Air- craft Carrier Wasp is stated to have been the com- mand ship. There appear also to have been a number of submarines engaged in these exercises, and all vessels were intimately linked by advanced electronic communications systems. There were also aircraft, at least one of which trailed a detec- tion device a little below the surface of the ocean from a line, while flying at very low altitude. The submarines are said to have been fixed for "silent running." There then occurred a rather special and par- ticular uproar which, at least as far as I have been able to discover, was initiated as follows. A sonar technician on one of the small vessels, otherwise listed as a destroyer, reported to his bridge that one of the submarines had broken formation and gone off in what appeared to be pursuit of some unknown object. This operator did not, of course, know if this was a "plant," since the maneuvers they were engaged in were exercises designed to train personnel in detection of enemy craft, and in such exercises decoys must always be employed. However, this operator's report was not at all within the limits of such simulation. The trouble was that said unidentified underwater object was travelling at over 150 knots. The deck officer immediately reported to the skipper who, after calling his electronics boys on the intercom, got in touch with the command ves- sel, the Wasp, but was then somewhat frustrated 34 to learn that their radio intake was virtually jam- med with similar reports coming in from all the other ships and from the sonar-trailing aircraft. No less than thirteen craft (including submarines and aircraft) noted in their official logs that their sonar divisions had latched onto this ultra-high-speed submersible; and all of this is said to have been immediately reported to COMLANT, in Norfolk, Virginia. Many people, including deck officers and technical personnel, aboard all these ships stated that they either observed or heard the radar and sonar blips caught by their modern, sophisticated, electronic devices, and all concurred that this ob- ject was being driven by a single propeller at more than 150 knots. Now, the world record for a propeller-driven surface craft is 200.42 mph, but this was with a Rolls-Royce-engined hydroplane. The record for a diesel-engined craft is 60.21 mph. The all-time high was achieved by Donald Campbell in his turbo-jet engined Bluebird K.7 at 328 mph. The fastest speeds for submerged submarines have been achieved by the Skipjack class of pear-drop shaped nuclear vessels of the U.S. Navy. The semi-official record is forty-five knots (51.8 mph). Thus, this object beat in speed anything that we can do at the present stage of our technological development, and by nearly four times. But that was not the whole story. It is said that our sonar technicians kept track of it for four days, and that it maneuvered about and down to depths of 20,000 feet. The record dive for a standard sub- marine is 6,250 feet, achieved by the U.S. Aluminaut on November 12, 1967. The record for mere submersion is, however, the descent to 35,800 feet made by the little Trieste in the Pacific in 1960. However, the craft could hardly move along at all, while the Skipjacks cannot go down to more than a sixth of that depth. In other words, this thing was literally out of this world. What was it? This is by no means an unique case. There have been numerous other reports of a similar nature by and to our Navy since that date, and others re- ported by several other navies. Also, there have been equally surprising reports made by both === **Page: 3 of 13** naval and commercial ship's officers, mostly with names and dates, and going back more than 100 years. Here are two recent cases which are intriguing. The log of the Norwegian ship T.T. Jawesta records that on July 6, 1965, while in passage between Venezuela and the Canary Islands, the lookout on the bridge reported a bright object in the sky moving in a northerly direction. The captain, H. A. Trovik, was alerted by ship telephone, and later submitted a report to the Geophysical Institute in Bergen, Norway, because his chief mate, Torgrim Lien, stated: "I can say with complete certainty that it was no question of an aircraft of conventional type, or rocket, or meteor, or ball lightning." The object is described in considerable detail as issuing tongues of flame and making sudden turns, and the report then goes on to state that "its speed was tremendous, and it was visible for about thirty to forty seconds. It was moving at the time in a N to S direction. Despite its enormous speed and the closeness of its passage, we could not hear the least sound from it. The lookout on the port side, Seaman Hernandez Ambrosio, maintained that it seemed as though the object had come out of the sea, and that it was traveling northward, and then suddenly changed course toward us. The helmsman, Narciso Guillen, an ordinary seaman, saw the object just after it had passed over the ship." Another recent significant case was reported on July 20, 1967, in the log of the Argentinian ship, Naviero, belonging to the Argentine Shipping Lines Company. This occurred 120 miles off the coast of Brazil, at six fifteen p.m., Argentine time. The Naviero was running at seventeen knots. "The officers and crew were at their evening meal at the time. The Master, Captain Julian Lucas Ardanza, received a call on the intercom system from one of his officers, Jorge Montoya, to the effect that there was something strange near the ship. Arriving at once on deck, Captain Ardanza beheld a shining object in the sea no more than about fifty feet away on the starboard side. It was cigar-shaped, and he estimated its length at about 105 to 110 feet. It had a powerful blue and white glow, made no noise whatsoever, and left no wake in the water. There was no sign of any periscope or railing or tower or superstructure; in other words, no external control surfaces of protruding parts. The mystery craft paced the Naviero for fifteen minutes. Captain Ardanza estimated its speed at up to twenty-five knots, as against the seventeen of his own vessel. The next development, however, was disconcerting, to say the least. The mystery craft suddenly dived and passed right under the Naviero and vanished rapidly in the depths. As it went, it glowed brightly beneath the water." History is clogged with reports of this nature. Of significance, before the Puerto Rican U.S.N. antisubmarine maneuvers uproar, is the very strange mention in Thor Heyerdahl's classic, Kon Tiki, which states simply: "On several occasions, we glided past a large, dark mass, the size of the floor of a room, that lay motionless under the surface of the water like a hidden reef, which it couldn't be, since the raft was in the middle of the Pacific, between the Peruvian harbor of El Callao and the island of Raroia, with many hundreds of fathoms under her. It was presumably the giant ray of evil repute, but it never moved, and we never went close enough to make out its shape clearly. Then again, about two o'clock on a cloudy night, when the man at the helm had difficulty distinguishing black water from black sky, he caught sight of a faint illumination down in the water which slowly took the shape of a large animal. It was impossible to say whether it was plankton shining on its body, or whether the animal itself had a phosphorescent surface, but the glimmer down in the black water gave the ghastly creature obscure, wavering outlines. Sometimes it was roundish, somtimes oval, or triangular, and suddenly it split into two parts which swam to and fro under the raft independently of each other. Finally, there were three of these large shining ARGOSY UFO 35 === **Page: 4 of 13** phantoms wandering in slow circles under us. Reports such as this are numerous and are not confined to modern times. In 1887, we find in the log of the Dutch (Hollandsche) Barque, J.P.A., Captain C.D. Sweet recording that, "In a fierce storm, two objects were sighted in the air above the ship, one luminous, the other dark. They fell into the sea with a loud noise." Or, going back even further than that, there is the following report (reproduced by permission of the "UFO Investigator," the journal of the National Investigation Committee on Aerial Phenomena, of Washington, D.C.). This tell us that in "The Diary of Andrew Bloxam," published in 1825, there appeared the entry: "About half past 3 o'clock this morning (August 12, 1825), the middle watch on deck was astonished to find everything around them suddenly illuminated. Turning their eyes to the eastward, they beheld a large, round, luminous body rising up about seven degrees from the water to the clouds, and falling again out of sight, and a second rising and falling. It was the color of a red-hot (cannon) shot and appeared about the size of the sun. It gave so great a light that a pin might be picked up on deck." But coming back to present times, a report, as carried by the international wire services, read as follows: "A photograph of the sea bottom taken at 2,250 fathoms, 1,000 miles west of Cape Horn, South America, has the scientific crew of the visiting United States research ship Eltanin completely baffled. A photograph which, to a layman, shows something like a complex radio aerial jutting out of the mud bottom, was taken August 29, 1964. Dr. Thomas Hopkins, senior biologist on board, said that it could hardly be a plant. "At that depth, there is no light, so photo synthesis could not take place and plants could not live," he said. "If it is some strange coral forma tion, then no one on board has ever heard of it before. I wouldn't like to say it is man-made be cause this brings up the problem of how one would get it there. But it's fairly symmetrical, and the offshoots are all ninety degrees apart. This is why it has been argued over for so long." Dr. Hopkins, a graduate of the University of Southern Califor nia, said that the ship photographer had been thoroughly questioned on developing the photo graph, and "everyone was certain the picture was not faked." And yet, what was this complex ae rial? If not man-made, then made by what—or whom? Another puzzling incident, cited in an article by Ed Hyde in "Man's Illustrated" of March, 1966, tells us about a group of O.N.R. scientists who had begun a series of long-range underwater com munication tests. "They were quite aware that long-distance communication beneath the sea had been tried—and had failed. However, one scien tist came up with a completely new theory and decided to try it out. He set up a mile-long antenna to prove his point. The antenna was laid along the continental shelf, which stretches out 100 miles from the east coast of the U.S. before dropping into the deepest areas of the Atlantic. Far out to sea was an O.N.R. research ship with instruments lowered close to the bottom to pick up the signals. Transmission of the signals got under way. What startled the men aboard the research ship was the reception of the signal, and then a repeat of the signal followed by a strange code which the com puters are still trying to break. What happened, according to a later naval report, was that the signals in the experiment were picked up and mimicked by 'something unknown,' and then this 'something' began transmitting its own signals on the same wave lengths used by the Navy scien tists. 'Something strange was definitely down there,' the Navy report stated. Alert O.N.R. sci entists had even tracked the source of the alien signal and discovered that it appeared to emanate from one of the deepest areas of the Atlantic—a spot with depths measured at 29,000 feet. Could that have been intelligent life, trying to contact our species? It is always interesting to note that the dawn (about 1947) of our so-called "space age," with the release of contrived atomic energy and so forth, also ushered in the age of "saucermania" and "Ufology" in America. In that year, we had a "something" off southern California that much upset the populace. This occurred on the twentieth of September of that year, and was reported by the U.S. Coast Guard as "a flaming object (which) fell into the sea off that coast; no planes missing; ob servatory at Griffith Park did not think it was any kind of meteor." Odd indeed, since it sounded very much like a meteor, and this is normally orthodoxy's first line of defense in such a case. However, further in quiry elicited the fact that the damned thing ma neuvered, and for some time; and that it had thereby considerably peeved the Coast Guard. Similar occurrences continued. On July 22, 1955, witnesses in Santa Maria, California reported that a long, silvery object emerged from the water. Another intriguing underwater sighting occur red in January, 1965. As reported in "Flying Saucer Review": UFO in Kaipara Harbor, New Zealand. On January 12, 1965, a Captain K. (al though identified here as Captain K., this would seem to be Captain Bruce Cathie, a National Air ways Corporation pilot) carried out a 'positioning' flight (no passengers) from Kaitaia, north of Auck land. The crew comprised Captain K., a first of ficer and an operations officer. They left at eleven a.m., and were to reach Kaitaia by twelve-ten p.m. Captain K. decided to fly visually, following the coastline at low altitude. On approaching the southern end of Kaipara Harbor (just north of Helensville), he dropped 500 feet to have a closer look at anything on his flight path. The plane was a DC 3. The tide in the harbor was well out and the water over the estuaries and mud flats quite shal low. When about one-third of the way across the harbor, he spotted in an estuary what, at first glance, he took to be a stranded whale. He veered the aircraft slightly to port in order to fly more directly over the object, and on approaching it, he saw that it was a metallic structure of some sort. === **Page: 5 of 13** He observed the following details: 1) It was perfectly streamlined and symmetrical in shape; 2) It had no external control surfaces or protrusions; 3) It appeared metallic and there was a suggestion of a hatch on top, streamlined in shape, not quite halfway along the body, as measured from the nose; 4) It was resting on the bottom of the estuary, suggested by the streamlined shape; 5) the shape was not that of a normal submarine; 6) Captain K. estimated its length at 100 feet, with a diameter of fifteen feet at the widest part; 7) the object rested in no more than thirty feet of water, and the craft was very clearly defined. At this point, I would like to point out that the Office of Naval Research is alleged to have developed—and not just on the drafting board—a device that can go into and come back out of water. I have also been told in an official news briefing that a private citizen in Hawaii has, at his own expense, also developed a machine capable of traveling from Hawaii to San Diego, a matter of 2,400 miles, in four “skips” under water. This machine is powered by liquid freon gas, using sim- ply the forces of gravity and counter-gravity, i.e., buoyancy. The technique of this is, of course, immediately questioned by all technicians. The facts, though basically very simple and perfectly understandable to a mere reporter when explained by the senior scientist for such matters on behalf of the U.S. Navy, appear to be incomprehensible to technicians. Therefore, we suggest that any who are further interested apply to us for a detailed, written statement. Then again, there was also a device built by one Mr. Donald V. Reid of Asbury Park, New Jersey, in 1967, which actually flew in the air and pro- ceeded along ten feet under water. Amazingly, this was propeller-driven. This, of course, is going to change everything all over again, in that the press and all other skeptics may attempt to lull the public once again by saying that all the new “into-and-out-of-waters” are ob- servations of these wondrous devices that we have invented. Then again, for more than 100 years, mariners, including commanders, captains, masters of ships and their senior officers, have been reporting im- mense displays of what they rather naturally call “lights” under the surface of certain seas. There are about 100 such cases in my files, and I know of dozens of others, the full details of which I do not yet have; and I know there are still more dozens, if not hundreds, tucked away in nautical journals, both naval and mercantile, and in the records of every seagoing nation. Others are mentioned in ancient Indian literature. And well might these people have recorded such occurrences, since al- most all of them have centered around the Indian Ocean. So let me attempt a composite picture of just what these seasoned mariners have reported for so long. Most of these reports state that a pulsating light appears on the horizon, or between the horizon and the vessel. In due course, this resolves itself into, not a pulsating, but a series of beams of intense light sweeping around, apparently just under the surface of the sea. As to size, there is apparently enormous variation. Also many ships’ officers have also reported that, observed through binoculars, the hubs were beyond the horizon, yet the beams swept their vessels’ hulls and in most cases seemed to have continued under them, or passed through them. It was at first suggested that these displays are “electrical” phenomena. But what sort and how come their unique form? Another idea, that the source is animated, assumes that it is some man- ifestation of marine life such as the Noctiluca—the tiny single-celled creature that causes what we mistakenly call “phosphorescence.” Finally, we have the possibility that the source of this triggering is mechanical. If so, are these mechanical devices of extra-terrestrial origin? Any craft that can travel through space should be able to continue on into a gaseous and then to a liquid medium, since said craft must be completely sealed. But why should such extra-terrestrials pick on the Indian Ocean? Perhaps it is only in that area and, maybe to a lesser extent, in the Carib- bean, that local conditions (Noctiluca in abun- dance, clear water of a certain constitution, etc.) cause some of their beam casts to become visible to us. Perhaps they prefer water of a certain tem- perature; perhaps they need the enhanced “spin” of the equatorial belt to help them braking for land- ings and thrust for takeoff; perhaps they just stum- bled on base in the Indian Ocean. But one can speculate on this bizarre business forever! To sum up, we may, I feel, legitimately envisage the possibility of some living entities having evolved in our hydrosphere which eventually reached a stage of what we call intelligence. These would most likely have so evolved on the bottoms of seas rather than oceans, just as the vast majority of other marine life appears to have done. They, like us, who evolved at the “bottom” of the at- mosphere, would then start “building” and perhaps even using caves at first when such might be available. Our own ancestors started building wigwams, then tents, then houses, and finally stone edifices. Underwater types might have pro- ceeded to domes or such, but eventually they would wake up to the fact that drilling into the solid rock of the edges of the continental shelves and the great oceanic mountain ranges would be much preferable. By the time technology developed to this extent, any sub-aqueous civilization would most certainly have done just what we are now doing: namely, get up out of the water into the air and, once having done this, more or less automatically go on out into space. If there is an underwater civilization indi- genous to this planet, it would probably be a con- siderable way ahead of us, since all life appears to have originated in water. It (they) might even have hundreds of millions of years head start on us. But, of course, the basic question remains: Is there such a civilization? Judging by the reports that have been made of various natures that we have described, on the one hand, and by the really deafening silence about these on the part of of- ficialdom, on the other, it is my considered opinion that there just might be. ARGOSY UFO 37 === **Page: 6 of 13** 38 Above: One of the many UFOs photographed and submitted to the Air Force during the last of Bluebook. === **Page: 7 of 13** The Air Force Closes Its Blue Book In 1975, the Air Force's Project Bluebook files on UFO Investigations conducted between 1967 and 1969 were closed to the public. Now, in an exclusive to Argosy UFO, UFO researcher Kevin Randle reveals what he found in the last of the open Bluebook files. By Kevin D. Randle In December, 1969, after 22 years, millions of dollars, and several studies, some of which were and still are secret, the Air Force concluded that UFOs did not pose a threat to the United States. Reasoning that this was all they were to be concerned with, and that it was all the explanation that the public requires, they let their official investigations of the phenomena expire. The report and study done under Edward Condon at the University of Colorado, and used to verify the Air Force position, was a master-piece of double-talk and invalid conclusions. But the Air Force didn't care because it got them "off the hook," or, at least they thought that it did. With the Condon Report being circulated and a decrease in the number of UFO sightings, the Air Force, some of the media, and millions of Americans thought that UFOs were gone for good. Because interest was waning, the Air Force felt that it could safely offer the files to the public, as long as the files were not accessible to too many. And they never officially told the public that the files were open but allowed some private researchers to discover it for themselves. In January, 1975, just a few months before the files were sealed again, I was able to do research at the Air Force Archives at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. I signed no statements saying that I would withhold the names of witnesses or details of the investigations. In other words, the Air Force allowed me to look at everything without any restrictions. Project Bluebook files have since been transferred to the National Archives in Washington, DC, and six Air Force reserve of- ficers are going through every file removing names, locations and details of investigations. After the deletions are made, the public will again be allowed to see the files, but for what purpose? What good will they be? Even before the recent move to destroy the usefulness of the Bluebook files, the Air Force was doing a good job of hiding its information. Naturally, while at Maxwell, I asked to see the newest cases first. These were the ones that had received the least publicity, because they had been over-shadowed by the Condon Committee's investigations. According to Air Force records, there was only one "unidentified" case in 1969, while there were four in 1968 and less than two dozen in 1967. In addition, there were nearly 40 reports of UFO photographs taken between the middle of 1967 and the end of Bluebook in 1969. But it was the "unidentifieds" that interested me; of those cases, the files showed that there had been some very bizarre happenings. On Jan. 17, 1969, the last report to be classified as "unidentified" was made to Project Bluebook. There would be other reports, including several photographs but the January report from Crittenden, Virginia, would be the last UFO. The witness, an employee of NASA, did not want his name connected with a UFO sighting, and, although I am not required to do so, I will respect his wishes by using the name John Kincaid. Kincaid claimed that he had been asleep since 10:30 p.m. that night, but that he had been awakened at 3:24 a.m. by an extremely loud hum. The sound fluctuated from very loud to a low buzzing, then back to loud. Kincaid got up and walked to the window, staring out toward the sound, but saw nothing. After a few seconds, a lighted object appeared in the Southeast. As Kincaid watched the UFO come slowly toward him, he saw that the bottom seemed to be elliptically shaped with blunt ends. The UFO was about 100 feet above the ground, about 30 feet wide and over 100 feet long. It moved slowly and came within 100 feet of Kincaid so he was able to get a very good look at it. He called to his wife, but she didn't hear him, apparently because the noise from the UFO smothered his words. Around the bottom of the UFO, Kincaid could see a series of windows that were all brightly lighted except for one at the rear that blinked. It may have been blinking in time to the changes in the pitch but Kincaid couldn't be sure. The windows were rectangular and appeared translucent. They would allow the light out but Kincaid couldn't see in and each seemed to be surrounded by a glow or haze, further restricting his vision. Kincaid could see the center of the craft in that light and said that it was solid, apparently metallic, and reflected some of the light. The UFO continued to drift across Kincaid's field of vision. It rocked gently as it moved, making it appear to move up and down slightly, but it never gained or lost much altitude. Finally, Kincaid said that it made a very gentle turn, tilting slightly and moving to the West. A few seconds later, the craft faded from sight. Kincaid also reported that he felt a "tingling of his nerves" as the UFO flew by. He complained 39 === **Page: 8 of 13** that he had unusual mental im-pressions and felt a hypnotic re-laxation pass over him that calmed his fear. He was at a loss to explain any of the feelings. When the UFO disappeared, Kincaid asked what he had seen. The hum was still audible. When Kincaid picked up the phone to call the operator, He asked the operator if she could hear it over the line, and she re-plied that she could. Kincaid, sur-prised, asked, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I can hear it." When the noise finally faded, he decided that he should report the sighting to the authorities and asked the operator to connect him with nearby Langley Field. He was routed to the local "Project Bluebook" officer who took the report and then told him how to file an "official" report. The of-ficer didn't stay on the phone too long and was obviously unim-pressed with the fact that the UFO had just been sighted. By 3:35, Kincaid was back in bed, the whole episode having lasted less than 15 minutes. The next morning, on the way to work, Kincaid told the others in his car pool about the UFO. They listened politely but didn't seem to care about a UFO report. At work, he told some of his friends and they seemed more interested. One of them called the local paper and Kincaid was interviewed by a reporter. Later that day, Kincaid tried to find the operator that he had talked to during the night. He failed at first, but kept trying. On Jan. 22, he was connected with the supervisor and was told that the operator could not have heard anything other than a plane. Kin-caid persisted, claiming that the operator had heard the strange hum and not the engines of a plane. The supervisor was equally insistent and refused to give Kin-caid the operator's name or let him talk to her. On the afternoon of Jan. 17, Kincaid tried to find others who may have heard the sound or seen the craft, because he wanted some confirmation of the sight-ing. He located one woman who thought that her mother, Susan Johnson, may have heard the UFO. Mrs. Johnson and a three-year-old granddaughter had heard the sound and had both awakened, frightened. Mrs. Johnson didn't get up to look but said that the sound was so close that she thought that something was "coming through the roof." Kincaid continued the search for other witnesses. In nearby E-clipse, Virginia, he found another woman who had heard the UFO. It had awakened her four-year-old daughter and had badly frightened her, to the extent that she didn't look out the window. She said that it sounded as if "it was going to land on top of us." A few days later, he found a couple who had heard the strange, electrical hum. Kincaid interviewed them, and all decided that they had heard the same thing. Still later, he found yet another witness in a nearby town. Kincaid then filed a report with a private UFO research group be-fore trying to forget about the in-cident. One point should be made about this sighting. Several de-bunkers have said that the wit-ness' activities after a sighting are very important. Anyone seeing what he or she thought to be an extraterrestrial spacecraft would be very excited about it. By find-ing out how the witnesses reacted hours after the sighting, we can gain a clue to the accuracy of the case. Kincaid was very excited. He had lain awake the rest of the night. He told his friends im-mediately, and he had tried to find others who had a similar ex-perience. His reactions were not those of a person playing a hoax. The Air Force reactions, how-ever, were not impressive. Two months after Kincaid filed his re-port, the Air Force finally began its investigations. After such a long time lapse, the trail was cold. First, the investigators tried to find out if there had been any helicopters in the immediate area, but Langley Field showed no traf-fic of any kind. Next, they tried the civilian airport but were told that such records are kept only for 15 days and that they were 45 days too late. None of this bothered the Air Force men, who tried to con-vince Kincaid that he had seen a helicopter. The official Air Force record shows that Kincaid "was unreceptive to this line of reason-ing." When that failed, they tried to convince him that he had seen the Goodyear blimp or an aircraft taking night photographs of the area. However, all attempts to prove to Kincaid that he had not seen a UFO having failed, they fi-nally concluded that the case was "unidentified." I finished reading the file with a sense of frustration. If the Air Force wasn't going to do anything with all the data it collected, why insist that it be kept in a place that was almost outside the reach of serious researchers? Why Max-well Air Force Base? How many knew the files were there? And how many could get to Maxwell to read them? Moving down the list, I asked for the case from Newton, Geor-gia, dated Dec. 23, 1968. The lady at the archives took the request and returned a few minutes later asking if I was sure that I had the date right. We looked it up in the master index and found that I was right. The case was missing from the files—completely. No small reference card, no empty folder, just the mention in the index. I then requested the files for several of the next "uniden-tifieds," hoping to find at least one. She returned with a stack of folders, and I opened the one on top. It was dated June 24, 1967, and was from Austin, Texas. Ap-parently the witness had had the same troubles as Kincaid, be-cause there was a blistering letter from him about the lousy investi-gation. Ray Rosi had been driving near the north side of Mansfield Dam (in the area of Austin) and had stopped to let his dog out. It was about 3:12 a.m., when his atten-tion was drawn to a bright, elon-gated, solid-looking, blue object, just above the horizon. A minute before the UFO appeared, two men in a small red sportscar had driven by, slowing down near Rosi but then speeding on their way. He thought nothing of it until he saw the UFO. The car pulled to the side of the road only 250 feet from him. "I wondered why they would be at such a place that time of night. They parked with lights tilted up the hill and flashed their beams several times (emphasis added by Rosi). It was a short time then, when the strange object ap- 40 === **Page: 9 of 13** peared on the northwest horizon. Occupants of red auto pulled over to the other side of the hill, and stopped the car again—out of my sight. After seeing the apparent signal, Rosi took out his big spotlight and started flashing the "only code that I could think of that anyone might understand (mathematical: '3.14', pi)." He flashed it a few times, and the object "stopped dead still." The illumination faded for a second or two, and then brightened again, but the UFO continued to hover. Finally it started again, following the same path. As the UFO continued, Rosi got out a pair of binoculars. Through them, he could see a blue, cigar-shaped UFO. When he flashed the light code again, the UFO slowed, the brightness faded, then brightened, and the UFO resumed its original speed. At 3:22 a.m., the UFO disappeared into a low cloud cover moving in from the south. After the UFO disappeared and Rosi had collected his dog, he drove to the nearest phone to call the Air Force. They responded with the standard form and one officer, Lt. Robert Foreman. As he was completing the form and discussing the case with Foreman, Rosi mentioned that he had the feeling that he was being watched. He compared it to "a youngster doing something wrong in the backyard of a home who all of a sudden felt that he is being watched." He said that it was a feeling of communication "somewhat like mental telepathy, yet not strong enough because I have never experienced or received any message by brain wave." Foreman completed his investigations, took the completed Air Force form, with its quagmire of questions and drawings and left. He submitted them to the project headquarters. Rosi, of course, had an interest in the case and later asked what was being done. === **Page: 10 of 13** Finally, he received word of the decision on his sighting. It was stamped INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS. Rosi was furious. He filled out another form to forward to the Air Force but added a lengthy comment to question 35, which asks for "Information which you feel pertinent, and which is not adequately covered in the specific points of the questionnaire or a narrative explanation of your sighting." Rosi wrote: "It is a real mystery to me why you state in your August 21 missive, 'The information which we received is not sufficient for a scientific evaluation,' in consideration of the fact that the very thorough report which Lt. Foreman took and supposedly submitted to you contained far more definitive information... than could be elicited via your questionnaire." Rosi continued, adding that more information was available through Foreman's report than in the form that was being sent, but that their handling of the case "leads me to believe... that the accusations of negligence heaped upon you... by some independent investigations in recent years may not be entirely unfounded." Rosi, like others, was caught wondering what was missing from his reports and those of Lt. Foreman. What data was needed so that a "scientific analysis" could be made, and why wasn't that point covered in the forms? It seemed that a great deal of time and effort was being expended to gather data that was later found to be lacking some important factor. After reviewing Rosi's new forms, re-evaluating the Foreman report and doing more research into Rosi's background, the Air Force changed the status of the report. No longer was it "Insufficient" but "unidentified." Considering Rosi's rather technical background, his education and obvious sincerity, the Air Force had found itself in another of its famous holes. Rosi's experiences, both with the UFO and with the Air Force, were interesting. His report was one of the best found in the files. And, it had received no public dissemination. No one outside the Air Force knew about it, and, if the Air Force had its way, no one ever would. About two weeks after Rosi's experience, another southerner, living in Meridian, Mississippi, reported a UFO. The man, a retired military officer, reported that the object stalled his car. Now, after having seen two hidden reports outlining possible mental contact with UFO's, I found a case involving electromagnetic effects, and all were labeled "unidentified." While all this was going on, the Air Force would have us believe that nothing extraordinary was happening, or had happened. Philip Lanning was driving south in Meridian, on the evening of July 10, 1967, when his car coasted to a stop and the radio faded. Lanning got out and started to look under the hood when an object of "excessive size passed forward of my position and perhaps 200-300 feet over my head." The object was moving silently except for the "rushing of an extreme wind." It was heading to the East and Lanning thought that it was about to crash into a clump of trees. "Just before reaching the trees, it tilted upward, appeared to be moving to the immediate right and then accelerated rapidly at an angle almost straight up and disappeared into low flying clouds." Lanning thought the object was in sight for three to five seconds and one Air Force officer thought that was important. In his opinion, no one could have observed all that Lanning claimed he had seen in only five seconds. The officer overlooked the fact that most people are notoriously poor at estimating time, especially when excited. The object, itself, was "like a cymbal on a drum set and was a dirty metallic grey in color on the underside." When it tilted upward, Lanning was able to see the top, which he said was colored "like the bluing of a good weapon." He saw no portholes or hatches, and could hear no sound. He was not sure how big it was but felt that "it could be compared with the length of a house." Lanning wasn't sure who would be interested in the report but he felt that it should be sent to "someone in the U.S. Government." | DATE & TIME GROUP | P.20 | |---|---| | 24 June 67 | 0530Z | | 2.

At one time during the observation the object could hover or make an oyster. The object could hover or make an oyster. The object made rapid speeds in any direction. One huge red light was noted at exact end. At close range, a row of windows were visible. Efforts to determine the cause of the sighting were made. Contact with the FAA did not reveal any information helpful in the investigation. CONCLUSION: This has five witnesses, the report contains information for a meaningful evaluation. Weather data and witnesses were adolescents. Case could be classified aircraft, or possible balloon, or possible unknown. Above: Author Kevin Randle reading some of the Bluebook files, while doing research at Maxwell Air Force Base in January, 1978. Left: This report on a UFO sighting at Scotch Plains, N.J., concludes, "Investigation did not reveal any possible explanation." Below: Kevin Randle offers these photostated reports as evidence of the accuracy of his article. We have another characteristic thing here for publicity. Witness specifically requested that no corroborative evidence was found, be the whole thing. Also, characteristic of this type of sighting is that the object "tilted upward, accelerated, and disappeared into the clouds" - all in a matter of a few seconds. In the scientific framework, of course, this is utterly impossible. We know of no way of accomplishing this, even of accomplishing it. Therefore, we either must admit ignorance, or in some cases admit "possible psychological", or I would prefer the latter in many cases since we have no evidence that this person was mentally disturbed. The tempting thing to do is to call it mass hallucination. This we recognize as simply another label for our own ignorance. I would recommend that in a number of cases of this type, possibly even in this one, that the cooperation of the witness be obtained and a series of interviews and tests conducted, for scientific purposes and without any fanfare whatever. Whether such witnesses exhibit any psychological peculiarities can only be determined in the course of just a few interviews by a competent psychologist. It would be far preferable to take a few cases like this and work on them in depth, rather than to pay superficial attention to hundreds of cases. The latter procedure carries little or no scientific potential. In summary, case should be carried as "unidentified". J. Allen Hynek ARGOSY UFO === **Page: 12 of 13** BLUEBOOK Continued from page 43 ment," so he forwarded it to a friend in Naval Intelligence. The Air Force received it and began an investigation. Once again, they were impressed with the background of the witness. Lanning, as a former military officer, had received a great deal of training and was, therefore, considered very important. That was not questioned. Nearly a year later, a further outline of the sighting was made. One man noticed that some of the statements made by Lanning were "characteristic of this type of sighting." The object tilted upward and accelerated, disappearing into the clouds in a matter of seconds. Sandwiched right between the Austin, Texas, sighting and the case from Meridian, Mississippi, was one from Scotch Plains, New Jersey. Air Force records don't contain too much information about the June 29, 1967, sighting. It was about 5:30 a.m., when Franklin Brown noticed the strangely lighted, cone-shaped object. He was driving along route 22 near Scotch Plains when the lights caught his attention. For several minutes, he watched them doing aerobatics. It was a clear night, so Brown got a good look at the UFO. As it maneuvered, he could see that it was rounded at the bottom and that it tapered upward, giving it the cone shape. There seemed to be one huge, red light at each end and at close range there seemed to be a row of blue lights. At one point in the sighting, Brown said that he saw an aircraft. Most investigators would assume that the plane could explain the sighting, except that Brown claimed that the UFO circled the plane several times. Brown saw the UFO hover and then dart away, changing direction instantly. Brown finally stopped the truck and got out to watch the UFO, which he called to the attention of his passenger, Shirley Tucker. As they watched, the UFO descended, slowed, and began to follow a car. It was now traveling about 20 miles an hour and was quite close to the ground. It followed the car for about 500 feet before veering to the South and disappearing in a great burst of 50 === **Page: 13 of 13** speed. The Air Force followed its stan- dard procedure in such cases- leaving it alone for several weeks. When the investigation was finally started, the witnesses could not be located. Brown, a truck driver, apparently did not live in the area and the Air Force base taking the report neglected to get his home address. They had the same luck with Tucker. The letters they sent her were returned unopened, and they could not find a phone number. The original report made to Bluebook headquarters men- tioned that there were several corroborating witnesses. The driver of the car followed by the UFO was one. The pilot of the plane was another. And yet, at at- tempts by the Air Force to find these people failed. In the end, the Air Force investigators were forced to say, "Investigation did not reveal any possible explana- tion," and the sighting was listed as "unidentified". In reading the case history, many researchers were impress- ed with the report, but were worried about the reliability of the witnesses since they couldn't be located. One man wrote that the case was "so bizarre and so suggestive of something strange that there should have been an immediate and comprehensive follow-up." The case can provide little insight into the UFO phenomena, but it does give good clues about the UFO project and the investigative technique employed. For 22 years, the Air Force claimed that it was investigating UFOs; but in these, the last of the Bluebook "unidentifieds," I found that the investigation was in name only. Sightings were ig- nored, investigations were de- layed and witnesses were not found. In the January, 1969, sighting, the man reported a low flying UFO, mental impressions from it, and listed a number of cor- roborating witnesses. The Air Force didn't care and delayed the investigation. In Austin, they at- tempted to put the man off by say- ing, "Insufficient data," and over- looking the other important ques- tions. They were unconcerned about the two men in the red ARGOSY UFO sportscar who flashed his lights at the UFO. In Meridian, a reliable observer had reported elec- tromagnetic effects, but nothing was done for weeks. The last cases from Bluebook are revealing, because they cover ground that the Air Force refused to admit existed. Anyone claiming mental contact, however slight, or saying the UFO stalled the car, was labeled a crackpot. Such cases were labeled "uniden- tifieds" even before they were filed. That in itself may be sig- nificant. These cases indicate a double standard. Tell the public that UFOs don't exist and that the people seeing them are crazy, but continue to gather data and hide it in the files. And, if the case is really bizarre, bury it so deep that it will never be found. Today it appears that someone has realized that too much was left. What good will the Austin case be with the names removed, the location gone and the inves- tigative data missing? In fact, the investigative data is a prime part of that report. By removing similar data from the Virginia case and the New Jersey report, the Air Force can ensure that no one finds out about the long delays before investigation. Instead, the public might wonder why witness- es couldn't be found or why Air Force investigators failed to find any corroboration. The move pro- tects the Air Force, overlooks the public's right to data gathered with public money and effectively ruins many cases. The files are becoming worthless. Fortunately, a few researchers were able to see the data, copy large parts of it and read the rest before the Air Force clamped down the lid. This may be the last chance to see the data before those officers finish butchering the files.

I'm not going to waste your time. This is a "how to do it" article, and if you're interested in doing the following by using your mind, then this is for you: * Hypnotize yourself at will (with a double safety). * Summon storms to rain on drought areas. * Direct lightning at certain targets. * Make and guide hurricanes. * Control airplanes in the sky. * Control ships on the sea (and submarines, too). * Manipulate and control *groups of humans*. * Help and heal human beings who are beyond the reach of modern medicine. * Control the minds of humans, near or far, either singly or collectively. * Create earthquakes and floods whenever you wish, wherever you wish. There is much, much more that you will be able to do, once you learn how to apply the instructions in this article, but the above is only a small sample of what you can bring about *with your mind!* At this point you should be extremely skeptical of the above statement. In fact, you shouldn't believe a word of it. Because to do the things mentioned above would not be humanly possible. Or . . . would it? Now let's see . . . Moses did things like that, didn't he? And 34 ☐ SAGA === Page 2 of 10 Best wishes to Dr. Leo Sprinkle.. Illustrated by Morgan Harris Owens "PK Man" 3/18/72 === Page 3 of 10 Ezekiel? Way back in Biblical days? But more important to you is who is Ted Owens and what does he do? What are his credentials for making such seemingly wild claims? If that's what you're thinking, then you're thinking correctly, and we're getting somewhere already. I'm Ted Owens, the "PK Man" who uses psychokinetic powers and special effects to produce miracles; Otto Binder wrote about me in SAGA in August and September of 1970 and again in March and April of 1971. I've already done the seemingly impossible things listed above, and have sworn, notarized affidavits saying so from responsible people. As a matter of fact, I've performed over 200 recorded "miracles" to date, using mind over matter power. Just recently, in a span of three weeks, with scientists watching "over my shoulder," so to speak, I brought a tremendous rainstorm to the Norfolk area--which had been stricken by months of ruinous drought--directed lightning attacks on the Norfolk area; produced a hurricane and brought it so close to Norfolk that the rain fell unceasingly for four days; and just to put the "icing on the cake," I had a UFO ("mysterious halo in the sky" as the TV stations called it) appear over Norfolk so that all could see it . . . simply as a "signature" to the other phenomena I had produced. But before all this happened I had notified scientists, government agencies, and local newspapers by letter that it would happen, so that when it did occur it could not conceivably be called "just a coincidence." I have sworn affidavits to this event. All the above are only a few of the over 200 miracles I've performed. All right . . . so I have credentials strong enough to impress an army of skeptics. What's the next step as far as you are concerned? Well, before we get down to fundamentals on how you can proceed to perform miracles, we first need some general background information so you'll have a better idea of how this all came about. I was born in Bedford, Ind., 50 years ago. Forty of those years were spent learning and perfecting the powers you will be able to use after you read this article! But that should not be so surprising--Edison conducted 50,000 experiments over many years before he perfected his first workable light bulb. Once he had it and made it public knowledge, anybody could build a light bulb in short order. Actually, I am only part human. My brain was modified by UFO intelligences (who we'll call SIs, for "space intelligences") so it would become a two-way sending and receiving set for the SIs. Once you follow my instructions, the same thing can happen to you, and then you will also be able to not only communicate with these UFO creatures, but perform miracles as well. There are a few books you should read. *Secrets of the Ages*, by Robert Collier, is one. *The Sky People*, by Brinsley le Poer Trench, is another. *Flying Saucers Are Watching Us*, by Otto Binder is yet another. These are must reading in order for you to obtain a proper background for what I'm teaching. The books are easy to read and easy to understand, yet all three are key books. Once you've received the proper background and mastered the instructions in this article, then you will perhaps be able to "move the world." The obvious question arises--why place this priceless information before the general public? Isn't it dangerous? Suppose someone with evil intent got hold of it and used it against the U.S. or the world? That's a fair enough question. Now I'll answer it. There are certain people among us now who are "sleepers"--that is, people who have the potential to become great--to enrich humanity--given the proper training and instruction. It's no secret that the U.S. is now in deep trouble. The SIs are going to try to help us out of the mess we are in by finding and activating these "sleepers," just as they found and activated me. As soon as my instructions are 36 - [ ] SAGA === Page 4 of 10 The goal of the Space Intelligences (who come from another dimension and whose powers and intellects are unimaginably superior to ours) is to help mankind. If after scanning your past, present, and future, they decide you have the capacity for it, they may bestow superhuman powers on you. But if they feel you will use them selfishly--to obtain money, or hurt, rob, kill, or hate your fellow man--they will ignore you, for the SIs are only interested in finding and developing those humans who will use their new powers to advance the human race creatively and constructively! first pass exhaustive, rugged IQ tests--the minimum IQ necessary is 148. Yet the SIs may choose a farmer, a soldier, a secretary, a truck driver--that is, anyone who might follow the instructions in this article--and build up their minds so they will have superhuman brains that would put a member of Mensa to shame! That person could very well be you! All right. Enough background. Let's get down to business now. You want the instruction; the system. Now bear in mind that it is unorthodox. But never mind that. While you are learning it, putting it into practice, do not discuss what you are doing with anybody, except your "helper"--one person, who will assist you, as I'll soon describe. **F**irst thing in the System--get the book, *Roth's Memory Courses*, by D. Roth. This book teaches you how to memorize lists of words by associating unusual thoughts. It is only necessary that you master the first 20 words. For instance, No. 1 is "hat" . . . and what you want to memorize, like an airplane, goes with a hat, as No. 1. To memorize it, you simply see a giant 747 plane taxiing around the rim of a tophat. Silly, yes? It's supposed to be. Helps you to remember. This is the technique of "mental imagery," and mental imagery is one of the two keys to becoming a superhuman. Get Roth's book, practice the first 20 words to be memorized therein . . . hat, hen, ham, hare, hill, shoe, cow, hive, ape, woods, tide, tin, team, tire, hotel, dish, dog, dove, tub, and nose. Practice getting up in front of groups (this will make you a big hit at parties) and letting members of the group call out objects, one at a time, which another member writes down on a pad, starting with No. 1. When you've gotten to 20 stop them, and then you can call back the entire list in any order, backwards or forwards! mastered and put into operation the SIs will be alerted. At that time they'll scan your mind, telepathically, just like you are reading this article. All that you have been and done will be "seen" by them. Also everything you can do in the future will be observed, because they can "see ahead" in time. They will decide then whether or not to contact you, modify your brain, give you superhuman powers, as they did with me, and use you to *benefit* and lead mankind. Should you be interested in hurting, hindering, robbing, killing, hating your fellow man, or acquiring money and riches, they will ignore you. THE SIs ARE INTERESTED ONLY IN FINDING AND DEVELOPING THOSE HUMANS WHO WILL USE THEIR NEW POWERS TO ADVANCE MANKIND CREATIVELY AND CONSTRUCTIVELY. So I assure you, there is absolutely no danger whatsoever of "bad people" using these priceless secrets to harm either the human race or the U.S. Now, you would think that the SIs would find and develop only the brilliant minds among us, wouldn't you? For instance, I happen to belong to "Mensa," an international organization of some 15,000 members whose IQs are exceptionally high. In order to be accepted by this organization you have to Now why, you ask, is this parlor trick necessary in order to become superhuman? When you finally communicate with the SIs, and when you perform your miracles, assuming you get to that point, it will all be done through mental imagery. Therefore, while you are performing your "parlor trick" of giving memory demonstrations, you are actually *building a muscle* in your mind for mental imagery! Each time you do the memory exercises, it will easier and easier for you to see pictures in your mind, and to *control* these mental pictures. Let me give you an idea of how important this mental imagery is to become superhuman. While in Maine several years ago I told a prominent real estate man, Mr. Ed Ames, I would communicate with the UFO (Continued on page 66) SAGA - 37 === Page 5 of 10 THIN HAIR RECEDING HAIRLINE? FACT: As some men become older, the dermis of the scalp becomes thin. This limits blood circulation to hair follicle. Eventually the hair dies. NORMAL YOUNG SCALP * Normal Dermis is fairly thick, acts as a cushion, and allows blood to circulate freely to hair follicle. OLDER SCALP thin dermis * Less fatty tissue between scalp and skull. This causes: * Restricted circulation to hair follicle * Loss of adequate protein nutrition to hair * Thin hair * Hair dies Introducing HAIR PRO Hair is Protein - HAIR PRO is concentrated Protein!

He said all right, he'd like to see if that could happen. So I used mental imagery to contact the SIs, then used mental imagery to show the SIs what I wanted as a demonstration. A few days later a flying saucer was sighted over the Brewer-Bangor area, knocked out automobile power, and then vanished. And the story appeared on the front page of the local newspapers. (I have Mr. Ames's sworn affidavit on this event.) Now, without mental imagery I could not have performed this "miracle." Or take the case of Brenda Sue Pennington, a girl in a hospital just outside Washington, D.C., who had a crushed skull and was dying. Her parents asked me to try to save her. I used mental imagery to contact the SIs and "tell" them what I was attempting, then stood inside the girl's hospital room and used mental imagery to place other-dimensional symbols onto the girl so that they would grow and help her. One, for instance, was a rainbow effect on top of her head, which would then spread and grow larger with the passing of each day, until it eventually filled her entire hospital room! That was the turning point for the girl, who'd been given up for dead by the doctors; today she is living in West Virginia. The point, is, without mental imagery the whole thing would have been impossible. (That case also is documented.) I first stumbled upon, and learned, the Roth memory system when I was 18 years old. Of course, I hadn't really "stumbled" onto it; the SIs had led me telepathically to it, just as they would lead me, a "sleeper," to all the other necessary materials for communicating and working with and for them. So you can see how vitally important it is for you to learn and develop this mental imagery technique! It isn't hard; it's lots of fun; it's entertaining to your friends; and best of all it will make your brain more powerful! (By the way, if any of you have questions about any of this, or difficulty in following the directions for this System, just write to me care of SAGA magazine, 333 Johnson Ave., Brooklyn, N.Y. 11206, and I'll help you personally, as much as my time allows, by answering your letters. It could take a while for me to answer, so please be patient.) The next step in learning this System, is the most important! A famous scientist, who wants to remain anonymous to protect his reputation, thoroughly investigated me and my work and stated unequivocally that it had to be my mastery of self-hypnosis that was the key to the SIs being able to give me superhuman power! And that is your next step-to hypnotize yourself. I'll make it simple for you, too. Some people take years to learn autohypnosis, but you'll be able to do it in days. Actually, self-hypnosis is the key that unlocks a secret door in your mind that leads to a storehouse of tremendous === Page 6 of 10 unused power! Let me give you a few examples of what can be done with self-hypnosis. Some years ago in Texas, I bought a car from a salesman named Charlie Turner. Charlie was English, and his accent interested me. We chatted as I filled out the necessary papers, and he said it had been the first car he'd sold in several months, that he was broke. I "scanned" his mind and telepathically ascertained that there was an unusual man, one with great potential. So I told him that I taught self-hypnosis, and that he should learn it. He said he hadn't the money to pay for the instruction. I said that it wasn't necessary, I'd be glad to train him for nothing. So he made an appointment, and I began training him. Shortly after learning self-hypnosis he quit selling cars, and started an import-export business. Within months he'd become fantastically successful! He had quite a bit of money in the bank and was becoming widely known in his field. He attributed all this success to his learning of autohypnosis and application to his daily life. But that wasn't all. One night Charlie, who lived far out in the suburbs, lifted an outboard motor on top of his stove to repair it, and the stove's pilot light ignited the motor; it blew up, spraying flaming gasoline on Charlie's left hand and arm. Charlie quickly doused the flames and called an ambulance, which didn't get there for almost half an hour (this happened at 3:30 in the morning). Charlie told me that if he hadn't used self-hypnosis on himself to deaden the excruciating pain, he'd have gone out of his mind. But worse was to come. After Charlie reached the hospital he removed the self-hypnosis from his arm (as I had taught him to do) so the doctors could work on him, that's when he was told that they couldn't give him a shot to ease his pain until the doctor arrived to authorize it! Therefore because the pain was unbearable, Charlie put himself under hypnosis again, and sat for 40 minutes until the doctor got there. The doctor told Charlie that he might never be able to use the arm again. It was burned that badly. And then, at that point, Charlie deviated from my instruction and told the doctor he would treat the arm himself without the doctor's help! Charlie took a cab home and stayed in bed for a week, using autohypnosis not only to deaden the pain in his arm but also to rebuild and restore the skin and muscle! At the end of that week he climbed up on top of his house and installed a new TV aerial, using the left arm the doctor said would be useless! The following week he was up and about driving his car and doing all his normal chores. The week after that he came to see me, told me the story, and showed me his left hand and arm. Only a tiny brown spot remained on the back of his left hand. The arm was entirely normal! I've gone into this case in detail because it demonstrates how self-hypnosis can help, both your life situation as a whole and in countless emergency situations. Of course, pain is a warning signal, and autohypnosis should be used only in an emergency until you get to a doctor. I bawled Charlie out for not staying in the hospital and following the doctor's instructions. "Medicine and doctors and SENSATIONAL -- NEW MODERN MIRACLE!!

"Then use auto-hyp." Control of useless pain is only one of thousands of possible uses for self-hypnosis. One man learned autohypnosis because he had a deathly fear of dentists--hadn't been to one for 12 years. As soon as he mastered the technique, he marched to the nearest dentist and had 12 teeth pulled, all under self-hypnosis! In order to find out more you should read some good books on autohypnosis. There are a number of them, so I'll leave the choice up to you (they are for background and general instruction). I'm going to teach you a superior method right here, which is sufficient for your use. Before teaching you how to hypnotize yourself, let me give you some preliminary instruction. Pain is a warning signal; you should only use self-hypnosis to deaden pain in an emergency, until you can get to a doctor; then you should remove the autohypnosis, because you need the pain as an indicator for the doctor to work with. ALWAYS WORK WITH THE DOCTOR. Self-hypnosis should not be used to take the place of medicine, or doctors, or surgery! I can't stress that point enough. By the way, allow me to quote some people who I taught self-hypnosis (names are unimportant, but they are identified by profession, to show its scope). Business owner: "Since I've used autohypnosis I find that people can't irritate me or insult me anymore. It just seems to bounce off me. I'm much happier. I feel like a new man!" Court reporter: "Since I've learned autohypnosis from you I've been amazed at the good results of it! And I've been deeply happy since using it!" Jeweler: "Money could not buy what your autohypnosis has done for me, Mr. Owens!" Secretary: "Nothing happened the first two weeks but suddenly I've become happier than at any other time in my life. I can't believe it, and I'm scared that it might go away. I'm so happy!" Lawyer: "My work has improved 30 percent because of the autohypnosis you taught me. It's really working!" Court reporter: "This week I have been happier, made more money, and got more work done that at any time in my entire life! I even increased my stenotype speed by 25 words per minute by using my autohypnosis. This autohypnosis is the best thing that ever happened to me!" Nurse: "It's like a miracle! Now I'm sleeping like I used to years ago! For years I have only gotten half a night's sleep, until now." Electronics expert: "I didn't believe in this for a couple of weeks, but now I'm sleeping without pain, and soundly." These comments from former pupils go on and on but you can see how powerful and effective this method is. Used intelligently (with the cooperation of your doctor, if you so desire), self-hypnosis can improve your life tremendously! But even more important, it can lead you directly to the SIs and to superhuman power. (Two superior books I suggest you read are: *Autoconditioning* by Dr. Hornell Hast, and *Hypnosis* by Drs. S. J. Van Pelt, Gordon Ambrose and George Newbold.) Now, the autohypnosis I'm going to teach you is designed to lead you to the SIs. However, here are a few of the things it can do for you when it is used simply for itself: * It can make you feel happy and cheerful, instead of depressed and blue. * It can give you the courage to face anything. * It can refresh you in minutes, if you are tired. * It can keep you wide awake, if that is necessary (be careful not to extend this over too long a period of time.) * It can put you soundly to sleep, all night long, or at any time. * It can relieve pain and discomfort. (Useless pain, that is. Read those books I referred you to concerning this point.) * It can help you break bad habits, such as procrastination, overeating, smoking drinking, etc. * It can remove panic, fear, tension, self-consciousness, etc. * It can help improve your personality and your attitude toward people, and situations. * It can help you improve your income, by improving you. But what is the "secret" of self-hypnosis Just this: in your normal conscious state your thoughts do not register very deeply upon your subconscious mind. In contrast, when you utilize your autohypnotic "trigger" mechanism, all your mental power is focused on whatever you are concentrating on, and when you come out of your self-hypnosis your mind is set, just like an alarm clock, to get the maximum results that you have ordered while under autohypnosis. (This is called post-hypnotic suggestion.) You see, in your normal conscious state you use a mere five to 10 percent of your brainpower. But your subconscious mind, controlled by your self-hypnosis, gives you access to approximately 70 to 90 percent of your brainpower! Quite a difference! O.K. Now I'll teach you *exactly* how to hypnotize yourself, step by step. The first step is to have you hypnotized by your "helper"--your husband or wife, or girlfriend or boyfriend. Someone you trust who will take this seriously *and* not make fun of it, and will above all else, be considerate and cautious. If you have any doubts or reservations, you should not attempt it (and that goes for any step along the way). A pendulum will be needed--one can be acquired in novelty or magic shops, or you can simply tie a ring to a six-inch string. Turn off all the lights in the room except one just above and behind your head, as you lie on a couch. Your helper will be seated beside the couch in such a position that he can hold the end of the string of the pendulum and let it dangle in front of your eyes, swinging it back and forth. He can put this page in his lap and read the instructions below, as he slowly swings the pendulum back and forth about six inches in front of and slightly above your eyes, so that you have to look up at it. Then he begins reading out loud as you *keep your eyes focused on the swinging pendulum, moving it slowly back and forth*: "Now, all you have to do is listen to my suggestions, and imagine the suggestions taking effect. Just watch the pendulum, (*Continued on page 70*) === Page 8 of 10 EVER WANTED A SPOT WHERE YOU COULD GET AWAY FROM IT ALL? Maybe it's time to think about getting away from civilization.

Now your feet and legs are becoming heavy . . . heavy like lead. Your entire body is becoming quiet, heavy, and relaxed. You are breathing more slowly, and more deeply, and feel your eyes getting heavier and heavier . . . more and more relaxed and heavy. Feel your entire body now getting heavier and heavier . . . more and more relaxed . . . feel as if heavy weights were pulling down on your eyelids . . . feel your eyes getting heavier and heavier. Now, at the count of two, let your eyes close, then listen only to my voice. One . . . two. Close your eyes. Now do not try to open your eyes, or come out of your deep concentration until I count back to zero later on. "Listen only to my voice and let nothing bother or disturb you. You are now going to relax deeply. Each time you breathe your body will become much heavier and your feet, legs, hands, and arms will become heavier and more limp. Listen closely to my voice for it is going to help you, and you will not listen to other sounds, and they will just fade away. Now feel your feet, your legs, your hands, your arms growing heavier and heavier and more and more relaxed. Let your hands become as limp as though they were pieces of cloth, or two empty gloves lying on top of a dresser, completely heavy and limp. Remember, all you have to do is listen to me and imagine what I am suggesting. And the better you concentrate your mind on listening to my suggestions, the better the results you will obtain through the power of your mind. Now be aware of any tense muscle in your body, and simply let it relax, let it go limp. Just let go and keep on letting go. Now your entire body is getting heavy, limp, quiet, and relaxed. Feel your hands getting still heavier and heavier, and more and more relaxed. "Feel more and more peaceful. Feel a sense of peace and well-being coming over you. Feel at peace with yourself. Now turn your attention to your face and neck and let all tension and nervousness go out of your face and neck. Just relax your face and neck and let those areas become quiet, peaceful, and relaxed. Feel a great peacefulness. Feel at peace with yourself. Now, with your entire body relaxed, quiet, peaceful, limp, and relaxed, I am going to count from one to four, and as I count feel this relaxation and quiet peacefulness sinking in, deeper and deeper. One, more relaxed. Two, deeper and more peaceful. Three, more quiet, more relaxed. Four, still deeper, more quiet, more peaceful. Now you are deeply relaxed, and must not try to come out of your concentration until I count back to zero. "Now listen carefully . . . from this minute on, whenever you practice your self-hypnosis, it will be five times deeper and five times more powerful for you than ever before! And each day, as you use your self-hypnosis, you will become happier and more relaxed and your nerves will become calmer and calmer, and you will be able to relax more quickly each time you practice it and more easily each time you use it. And each time you practice you will be able to let yourself sink into the concentration more easily, and more quickly. "Now, listen to me carefully, and ac- === Page 9 of 10 cept each of my suggestions. The following suggestions will be indelibly engraved upon your subconscious mind for the rest of your life, and will serve you powerfully for the rest of your life. Powerfully! "From now on, whenever you wish to hypnotize yourself, look at the moon of either of your thumbnails, and simultaneously say, or think, the words 'deep asleep.' Always remember these two key words, 'deep asleep.' Then feel your eyes get heavy, and let them close. Next picture in your mind a dark light bulb and touch your forehead between your eyes and see this light bulb in your mind click on. Now, that much is your 'trigger mechanism,' and the instant you have completed it you have turned off your conscious mind and turned on your giant, subconscious mind... although there will be no apparent difference to you, that you're aware of. Next, count to three, slowly. Then you are ready to give yourself your autosuggestion... and you must speak to yourself with emotion and feeling... also over and over, to make it stronger. For instance, instead of just saying, 'I'll be happy today,' say 'Today and every day I'll be happy, relaxed and calm, and the things that have been worrying me, irritating me, will no longer have the power to upset me; they will just bounce off me like a rubber ball off a wall.' In other words, give yourself a regular pep talk under your own hypnosis... then repeat it over and over several times, to make it even stronger. Then you are ready to wake yourself, and for this you always follow the same procedure, saying 'I'll waken now at the count of zero, wide awake, refreshed and happy, with my mind and body in perfect balance, and going with God.' Then you count backward... four, three, two, one, zero... see the light bulb in your head click off when you touch your forehead, say to yourself out loud, 'wide awake now!', open your eyes, and snap your fingers right in front of your eyes... just to make sure that your are out of your deep concentration. Do you have these instructions in mind? (He or she nods) "Good. Now I'll touch your forehead and these instructions will be indelibly engraved upon your subconscious mind for the rest of your life, and will serve you powerfully! Powerfully!" (The helper touches the subject on the forehead between the eyes and says "there!") "Now, before you come out of your deep concentration, a few more instructions. For the next two weeks do not try to analyze what is going on or it might keep it from working. It would be like your going into a dark closet with a bright light to see if there was any dark in there. The secret to obtaining powerful results is to just let yourself go, and follow these instructions. Also, it will take two to four weeks before you have completely mastered this skill, so do not expect any miraculous results before that time. Now, for two minutes there will be quiet." (At this point the helper puts his hand on the listener's forehead, closes eyes, and says a personal prayer... asking God to make the listener happy and healthy.) "Now you will come out of your deep concentration at the count of zero... wide awake, happy and refreshed, your body (Continued on page 74) # Give Happiness The United Way # MARKET PLACE For ad-rates write Classified, 100 E.

SAGA ☐ 71 === Page 10 of 10 (Continued from page 71) and mind in perfect balance, and going with God. Your nerves will be relaxed and quiet. All tension will be gone from your body and mind. Your body will feel refreshed and light. If there have been any worries, fears, or anxieties on your mind, they will be gone when you come out of your concentration. Four, three, two, one, zero! Wide awake!" (The helper snaps his finger right in front of the listener's just-opened eyes.) All right, now, readers. That is the rather long, but necessary "magic formula" for your helper to teach you the self-hypnosis routine. The entire procedure outlined above should be repeated once more the next evening or at some time during the same week. Then all you have to do to hypnotize yourself at any time during the rest of your life is look at the white, or moon, of either your left or right thumbnail, say or think the words "deep asleep," close your eyes, count to three slowly . . . one, two, three . . . and you are ready to tell yourself the suggestion you want to take effect. All that remains now to reach the SIs, the UFO intelligences, is: type or print on a card, which you will keep in your handbag or wallet, the following: "I am now sending my mind back through the ages . . . to the times of the ancient Egyptians, Incas, Aztecs . . . to learn the great secrets of those times, and to bring those secrets back to me here, so that I can know them and use them in the world I live in today to help mankind." Now, you will take that formula to bed with you twice a week after you learn how to hypnotize yourself. Just before going to sleep you'll autohyp. go through the routine, and tell yourself before you open your eyes that "when I open my eyes, what I read to myself will take effect on my life with all the power of Nature." Then simply open your eyes and read that formula off the card. When finished, set the formula aside, turn off your light, and go to sleep. On a second card, type a second formula, which reads as follows: "I hereby give my mind, my soul, and my body to God, to do with as He sees fit to improve the world, to improve mankind. But I deny and reject the Devil and evil completely and entirely!" You use this second formula twice a week, but in the morning just after you awaken. Just go through your autohyp routine, open your eyes and read this formula out loud to yourself, close your eyes and count backward and bring yourself "out." And you'll have a happy day. O.K. . . . let's take a brief look at what you need to do: learn Roth's memory system, at least the first 20 words, but practice until you are an expert with those 20 words. Get your helper and have him teach you autohypnosis as outlined above. All he or she has to do is use the pendulum to make your eyes tired, read the passages from these pages, and presto, you learn how to hypnotize yourself. Once that is done, make out your two formula cards and begin to use each of them twice a week on yourself, under your autohyp. Any questions? If your helper should at any time deviate from my written instructions and give suggestions of his own, then you just come awake and get another helper at some future time. You must have a helper you can trust. I've worked out this formula word by word, precisely, with thousands of people, and it works like a charm, if followed correctly. That is why I stress that your helper must be someone you can trust. Some of you will read this and say, I haven't time to learn a memory system and all these instructions. Too much trouble. Interesting, though. And you'll close the magazine and watch TV. Some of you will read this, go to the trouble to get Roth's book, learn the 20 words, become a whiz at entertaining at parties, and let it go at that. Some of you will go further--you'll learn the memory system and develop a strong mental-imagery technique; then you'll get a helper and learn autohypnosis as outlined above. And you'll feel like a million. You'll get happier, and as time goes by your entire life will change for the better. But the cards and formulas will seem silly to you, and you'll skip that. A few of you will go the whole route: learn the memory system master the autohypnosis, use it as instructed, and apply the formula system as instructed. Then one of two things will happen: the SIs will be alerted automatically, as if you'd rung their doorbell, so to speak . . . and they will scan your mind to determine if you are the right kind of person to handle the awesome responsibilities of secrets from Infinity . . . from another world, their dimension. If when they scan your mind and find you wanting, or weak, or power hungry, or greedy, or mean and cruel--and they can see it clearly, no matter how you've fooled the people around you--then it will not go any further. The superhuman powers will be denied you. But somewhere in your midst--perhaps a housewife, an office clerk, a truck driver, a lawyer or ballplayer, perhaps even a college youngster--will be a chosen few "sleepers" who will zealously master what I've written . . . use the formulas . . . have their minds scanned by the SIs . . . and pass the test! From that point on the SIs will take you in hand and bestow on you superhuman powers. Just as they did with me. And the rest will be history. The world will hear about you and the "miracles" you'll perform. You are needed badly, right away, by the SIs for training and use, because the world is in a dangerous state today. Mankind could be destroyed on any day of the week. But if some of you can be found by the SIs--and accepted and trained--then perhaps there is still a chance for the world to be made a happy, safe place. Healthy to live in and with no more wars and killing and hate. I want to express my deepest thanks to SAGA magazine for allowing this unusual message and set of instructions to be printed for the general public. SAGA is probably the only magazine in the world with enough interest in mankind to try this unorthodox approach. The SIs also wish to thank SAGA. In closing let me say God bless you, readers, whoever you may be, and if you feel inspired, or feel the urge to follow these instructions, please do it, for God's sake! ★ THE END # ESCAPE TO SEA *(Continued from page 40)* can have it.

It has 2,000 square feet of living space with plenty of room for his wife, two children and their two teen-aged friends. The freighter was completely renovated before Thomas took off, even to the addition of paisley wallpaper in the playroom. He sold all his belongings and cashed in his life insurance to do it, and it's still not as complete as he would like. But even though his "Shangri-La" doesn't have all the comforts most Americans consider standard--air conditioning, television, telephones, and cars--Thomas has no regrets. "When the money for food and fuel runs out, I'll start drilling teeth again," he says. With his white beard, battered blue sneakers, and old work clothes, Thomas looks every bit the seadog as he stands on the fantail of his bright red steel ship looking out to sea. "I wanted to see how other people live, learn their customs and understand their problems. Just thinking about it took my mind off mundane things." He plans to visit the Caribbean, South America, and eventually the South Pacific. "The only reason to go back to work is to eat."

Up to now, no one has paid any attention to his ominous warnings of an imminent crisis, but can we much longer ignore TED OWENS *Flying Saucer* # PROPHET of DOOM 22 - [ ] SAGA === Page 3 of 10 By Otto O. Binder Illustration by Gil Cohen === Page 4 of 10 In Part I of the Ted Owens story (SAGA-March), Otto Binder described the amazing fulfillment of the predictions made by the incredible PK man. Now, in Part II, Binder explains how Ted came into possession of his fantastic powers, and why the Saucer Intelligences chose him to be the agent for their vital mission to Earth. Somewhere in another eerie dimension, strange beings of pure energy cast their all-seeing eyes upon the tiny planet earth. They see strife and trouble and moral degeneration there. Moreover, they see organic creatures (humans) defiling their beautiful world, spreading pollution senselessly. They pity the disorganized earthlings who are unknowingly heading for worldwide disaster and eventual oblivion. A voice booms out to the DIs, (Dimension Intelligences), an omniscient voice, one that the DIs, through ages of spiritual development, have often tuned in directly. The Voice commands--"Go to that doomed planet and help those pitifully blundering souls to save themselves before it is too late. Go!" Obediently, the DIs utilize their ultra-scientific and supernormal powers to penetrate to the earth-dimension in craft shaped like flying saucers. The DIs are now the SIs, or the Saucer Intelligences, as far as earth is concerned. Their super-ray monitors scan the teeming millions on earth below. Where can they find a human mind less primitive than the average and capable of receiving ESP communications from them? It is no easy task to match minds from two utterly different dimensions. No such mind is found, not one that would withstand their powerful and indeed lethal thought-impulses. Ah, but that child--his brain and mind might be developed to the point where it would not be blasted and burned out by an interchange of communication. It would take time--an earthly lifetime, in fact--but there is no other alternative. They must begin now, for time is running out for earth. . . . Harry T. Owens was born in Bedford, Ind., in 1920. The "T" doesn't stand for anything, but an aunt began calling him Ted and the name stuck. From the beginning, Ted was a "loner," uninterested in joining other children in their "silly" games. Only sports interested him, somewhat, in school. And here the first indications of his strange powers became evident. In basketball, he would make a 20-foot shot with his back to the basket. The ball would swish through the hoop miraculously. When he passed the ball, nobody saw it move, yet the boy he shot it to would suddenly find it in his hands. Needless to say, his friends began to shun him for his mysterious doings. Ted took up boxing later, excelling in it. However, when he fought a much bigger boy, he was battered savagely in the head and suffered a latent concussion. As Ted sees it today, this seemed to have been deliberately planned by the SIs. Even before that, at age five, Ted had been playing in the street when a car struck him and knocked him 15 feet, leaving him unconscious for hours. Then, after the boxing incident, he received more "brain-rattl- Ted Owens was parked on a one lane mountain road years ago when a car passed through his! 24 - [ ] SAGA === Page 5 of 10 ing" blows as if his brain were being "shook up" or "scrambled"--for a purpose. While playing, another boy rolled a huge log down on Ted that ripped his scalp open. As a teen-ager, Ted was a passenger in a car that ran off the road at 90 miles per hour. The car was totally smashed, and Ted's head was almost split open. Ted's head and brain received four brutal blows, from which he always miraculously recovered. That is certainly, and oddly, more than most people suffer. Ted has since found out from the SIs, he says, that these "accidents" were necessary in order to allow one of the invisible SI entities to enter his brain at the moment of injury and perform a strange healing that altered his brain each time, for future SI communications. Then, in April, 1970, a deep indentation appeared behind Ted's right ear. Martha exclaimed--"Why, Ted, it looks like something has been inserted there!" In October 1968, Ted also had felt a new ridge of bone at the back of his head, below the brain case. Now the other "indentations" and "scars" might conceivably have been ordinary bruises that Ted received unknowingly. But when a ridge of solid bone appears overnight--and stays--we can't explain that away. Another remarkable change in Ted's physiognomy occurred recently, in July, 1970. Ted woke up with two sets of eyebrows. In the mirrors, he distinctly saw a new growth of reddish hair over his normal brown eyebrows. It could have been another sign of brain "tampering" by the SIs. of odd growths were found on the frontal lobe of the cerebrum. They were called "dendrites" and seemingly had something to do with the ESP communications the contactees claimed to have had with the saucer people. (In medical terms, dendrites are bunches of tiny sensory tips which link up brain cells. The more dendrites, the more sensory impressions going through the brain. Presumably, large growths of dendrites were found in the dissected brains of the contactees, which might have given them extra-sensory powers. This would give more credence to their stories of receiving ESP messages from saucer people.) This story naturally cannot be verified, if true, as it would obviously be classified by the government to camouflage its secret interest in the "non-existent" UFOs. Ted is sure that something similar to dendrites have been implanted in his brain by the SIs to make him a sensitive ESP receiver. Up until March, 1965, Ted had believed he was in communication with the "Intelligence behind Nature" who had given him his PK powers to create or guide storms. Then, as related in the previous issues of SAGA (August and September, 1970), Ted suddenly became aware that he was being contacted by the SIs. At first their ESP communications were vague, but gradually, as the SIs "modified" his brain properly, the messages became more direct. The exact contact method kept changing, too. For example, in August, 1965, the SIs switched (Continued on page 70) This becomes more credible when one remembers that head and brain injuries have played a part in the careers of noted psychics. Peter Hurkos fell off a ladder onto his head, for instance, and thereafter gained his famed psi-powers (a fully documented story). Dr. Franz Polgar was shot in the head in WW I and lived to become a noted "sensitive." There are hints from the SIs that those men, and others, might have been earlier experiments of theirs to reshape a human brain into an SI "receiving station," but without success. Only in the case of Ted, it seems, could the SIs go all the way. Sheer imagination? Blatant nonsense? Then read these excerpts from Ted's diary. July 4, 1966--"Woke up this morn with two sore spots on back of head, proportionately spaced. . .two little bumps. Family noticed them immediately, said they were never there before." July 1, 1968--"Martha (his wife) pointed out this morn. . .two deep scars under my ear, on neck. . .that have never been there before. Did the SIs do something to me overnight?" The SIs have since told Ted what they are up to in these brain "modifications." It was a form of "psychic surgery" to beef up the right lobe of his brain in order to allow him to perform PK feats and also to receive their high-voltage ESP messages. These weird alterations within Ted's brain are given strong credence by Dr. Ansel Kowzak (his real name is not given to protect his position), an astrophysicist as well as an expert in paranormal phenomena. Kowzak told Ted that the government had performed secret autopsies on several "contactees," notably the famed George Adamski. The results were startling. In all the dead contactee brains, a pattern SAGA - [ ] 25 === Page 6 of 10 ### UFO PROPHET OF DOOM-- *(Continued from page 25)* from vague "voices" in Ted's mind to "mental TV." Ted then saw two odd creatures appear called Twitter and Tweeter. They appeared on a "screen" and relayed messages to him from "Control." This involved changing earth language into "color and sound codes" and then into the SIs' own language. By September, 1965, Ted writes--"The SIs have taught me to write what I want on a (mental) tablet . . . on 'Men-Tel.' What I write then changes to odd symbols that 'crackle and pop' into odd sounds . . . and the SIs read those sounds." Evidently this was part of a program to improve communications, for only a few days later, Twitter and Tweeter did not appear on the Men-Tel screen and instead a figure with a shadowy head used a long pointer. The figure seemed to ask Ted what he wanted and told him to use mental images, which were then mirrored on the huge screen. The shadowy figure, Ted learned, was the great "Control" himself, the top commander aboard the SIs' most gigantic spaceship hovering far above earth. Thus Ted had been "graduated" from the roundabout T and T method to direct mental contact with Control. On June 27, 1968, Ted's diary entry is--"Control will flash 'yes' or 'no' on screen now, instead of flashing a light." This was the first yes-no contact, which Ted is using today, plus a unique method of passing along information. As Ted explains it, he calls for Control when he wants contact and immediately the Men-Tel image of the shadowy form leaps into his mind's eye. Ted then transmits his questions or requests, and the screen lights up with a "yes" or "no." For example, if Ted wants to perform some PK feat, he first asks permission. If he gets a "yes," Control also sends along a "capsule" of rapid-fire information on how to accomplish the task. In one split second, Ted is given an intricate series of instructions about PK units, "boxes," and other PK manipulations. So much for mere communications. Now, just what are the awesome PK powers the SIs have bestowed on Ted? More than earthly "psychokinesis," for Ted has been allowed to tap a reservoir of powers called the ODE forces. ODE stands for "Other Dimensional Effects." These ODE powers extend Ted's PK performances into any and all conceivable 70 - [ ] SAGA === Page 7 of 10 areas, via various "boxes" and "bubbles" and other amazing devices he visualizes in his mind. We cannot go into this deeply without getting too complicated, but a partial list of these mental devices will give an inkling of the ODE range--Electromagnetic Field Box, Laser PK-Light Projector, Emmy-Emma Rolling Lightning Box, Sound Force PK, Weight PK, Poltergeist Box, Magnetic Bar PK, Crystallization PK, Floating Wand PK, PK Fist, Earthquake Box, Moonray PK, Rainbow Door, Nature's Mailbox, etc. The list goes into many more eerie avenues and subdivisions. Ted has been making precise and orderly lists of these PK-ODE powers and how each or several were applied to a particular case. Ted's record is a glimpse into the awesome powers and forces that the SIs wield. Probably only a tiny portion has been relegated to Ted for use on earth. All these facets of Ted's life and his partnership with the SIs are necessary for a full understanding of why the UFOs are here on earth--the big riddle we promised to answer in the previous issue of SAGA. And there is still more to tell about Ted's personal life, which ties in strongly with the great "mission" that the SIs have revealed to Ted recently. If this sounds "over-dramatic," you will see that, if anything, it falls short of describing the SI's Master Plan. After examining Ted's life, we find that "paranormal" incidents have always happened to him, everywhere he goes. For one thing, he seems to make that old legend of the "charmed life" come true. Years ago, while driving out west at night, Ted followed a winding mountain road wide enough for only one car. He stopped and worriedly thought that if another car came from the opposite direction, he would have to back down a long way for it to pass. Suddenly, to his horror, a car's headlights appeared, coming straight for him. Seeming not to see his parked car blocking the way, the other vehicle roared closer. Ted prayed and awaited the deadly crash. But nothing happened! Ted opened his eyes to see the other car behind him, speeding safely away as if it had gone right through his car! There was no other possible explanation. Another time, while lifting the hood of his automobile to show a mechanic a problem he was having with his engine, Ted carelessly stuck his hand into the engine's whirling fan-blades. The mechanic turned white, expecting Ted's hand to be sliced into bloody shreds. Ted withdrew his hand, unmarked. But even more dramatic are the cases where mysterious assailants seemed to be after Ted's life. At least six times, cars or trucks deliberately tried to run him down. In some cases they missed as some sixth sense made Ted jump aside, but in two cases Ted swears the vehicles struck him--and passed through his body without harm (as in the above case out west). There are other episodes in Ted's diary where attempts on his life were made in various ways, and he often mentions odd-looking men in dark clothes. This is strongly reminiscent of the many "MIBs" (Men-in-Black) in UFO records, who seem to be mysteriously bent on silencing those SAGA - [ ] 71 === Page 8 of 10 who have made contact with saucer occupants--why, nobody knows. Ted believes the MIBs are the agents of the OIs (Other Intelligences) who, the SIs have told him, are here on earth for nefarious purposes. Ted thinks he has found the explanation for his "charmed life" since those things happened. As early as 1965, the SIs told him how to put protective and good-luck "bubbles" around himself and his family, which would account for his narrow escapes from death or bodily harm. But there's more to the picture. In November, 1968, a medium met Ted and notified him that she could see an invisible Indian "guide" behind him, named White Eagle, who acted as his "guardian angel," apparently allocated to him by the SIs. Furthermore, Ted has had several messages from the SIs saying his "life is too valuable to lose," and that they are "monitoring" him night and day, using a peculiar ray from above that penetrates solid matter so they can observe him anywhere. Ted can only surmise (some things are never made crystal clear to him) that many of the psi-phenomena that dog his footsteps are manifestations of the SIs guarding him and aiding him in difficult situations. Once, during an interview regarding a radio appearance, the questioner was hostile but suddenly turned friendly and arranged a long four-hour show for Ted, cancelling other programs. The SIs later told Ted they had sent down a ray to "change his mind." As if to also remind and reassure Ted at all times that he is their special "ward," the Owens TV set--no matter where they live--has for years shown crawly things like tarantulas superimposed over the screen. These are *different* TV sets and could not all exhibit the same aberration if they needed repairs. His wife and children see them as clearly as Ted does. The crawly figures are somewhat similar to Twitter and Tweeter who had "grasshopper" forms. Ted thinks these "tarantulas" on TV are some form of lower life in the SI's world, whose images they project as a "sign" to Ted that they are always around. Another significant event in Ted's life includes his acceptance by Mensa in 1968. Mensa is the group for people who have IQs of 148 or above (genius level). Its members include those from the top two percent of the human race; in short, the intellectual elite. Ted's basic IQ is 148 but it can vary up to 152. And for those among you who perhaps put Ted down as a "madman" for telling his "wild" story about being the SI's representative--a seemingly paranoid syndrome--it should be noted that the Mensa organization with its lofty intellects is far too canny to be fooled into accepting a psychotic. Thus Mensa, in effect, has put its stamp on Ted's mental balance, clearing him of being any sort of crackpot with vivid hallucinations, illusions, delusions, or what have you. The Mensa tests are exhaustive and thoroughly preclude any "mad genius" gaining their sanction. Ted Owens, the PK Man, is of sound mind. 72 ☐ SAGA This is further borne out by Dr. Ansel Kowzak, the earlier-mentioned astrophysicist who has also studied UFO phenomena for many years. When he heard Ted's story in 1965, he did not laugh or edge away or call the men in the white coats. He became more and more excited, and, after careful examination of Ted's record of accomplished PK feats, he pronounced Ted to be "one of the world's greatest psychics" and said he "might be the most powerful mind on earth today." Dr. Kowzak, far from doubting any of Ted's testimony, flatly stated (in writing) that his PK deeds were authentic and also that it was proof positive that the SIs did exist around earth in their flying saucers--Condon Report and Project Blue Book to the contrary. Kowzak was dismayed that the government would not recognize Ted or even acknowledge the presence of aliens in our skies. In only one area did Dr. Kowzak differ with Ted, saying that Ted was "erroneously" using the SI's PK power for "destructive" deeds of a negative nature. What good would it do the world for the SIs and Ted to create hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and plane crashes? This is the most difficult thing for Ted to put across to people--that in actuality, the aims of the SIs are to help earth, not destroy it. And that their seemingly "brutal" methods have a definite and positive purpose for good. Even Ted himself rebelled at times against the disasters planned by the SIs (Ted plans very few of them). As we noted in the previous issue, the astronauts of the Apollo 12 and Apollo 13 moon flights were "saved" by Ted himself. The SIs had grimly informed Ted that their crews would die (to jolt the U.S. into realizing once and for all that some greater "power" existed in space). In his diary, Ted records how he "hotly protested" this until the SIs gave in. They then allowed both astronaut crews to return alive. Then, in his entry for April 26, 1968, Ted wrote--"SIs told me to write letter . . . would bring down airplanes over cities . . . but I chickened out." Ted, in fact, refused to PK any planes out of the skies; but the SIs adamantly carried out the program on their own. Many of the plane crashes that have occurred around the world are listed in Ted's files as SI-caused. But Ted balked even more in this entry of June 6, 1970--"Just had an earthquake that tore up Peru and killed 50,000. GOD! I contacted Control and quit. But Control argued back . . . if we quit now we've wasted those lives for *nothing*. The demos (demonstrations) have to be completed to impress U.S. government to cooperate." Therein lies the crux of the whole SI venture with Ted as the earthly focus of their mighty ODE (PK) powers--they are *trying to get the attention of the world, and particularly the U.S. government, in order to help the world out of its many difficulties!* A question immediately pops into mind--why don't they just land on the White House lawn and introduce themselves to the President? In answer to that old chestnut of UFOLOGY, Ted writes--"That is so funny, to me. Because nobody knows what it is like to be close to the SIs." Ted describes an experience years ago, which his former wife and her mother shared. First Pat (his ex-wife) went into the living-room and ran out screaming about a huge shadowy "thing" in there. Pat's mother scoffed and went in to take a look for herself--and she too ran out hysterical. After calming them down, Ted decided to solve the mystery and entered the other room. "It is an experience that is indelibly engraved on my brain," Ted wrote in a detailed account. "As I went into the room, every step was against a powerful force . . . a force I could *feel* into the bone. At the same time my hair simply and truthfully stood right up on my head . . . goosepimples covered me, and I gasped for air. I felt like electricity was running through me. I wanted to yell, scream. I made it to about the middle of the room and could stand no more exposure to it (the shadowy figure) and ran out as fast as I could." Ted draws a simple but eloquent truth from this--"That is the sort of thing the President would be exposed to. He'd last about two seconds." Ted was never able to adequately describe the alien presence, for he later found out the SIs are from another dimension entirely, are invisible, and are only known to us as a vague shadow, exuding terrific forces that no human body can withstand. They seem to have no way of "toning down" these deadly forces. And for this reason, quite logically, Ted is not a typical "contactee"--he has never met the SIs face to face or taken a ride in their saucerlike spaceships. And the SIs ultra-alien forms would naturally lead to their desire to contact some human being by ESP alone from afar. That person would then become their "spokesman"--and Ted was chosen. Actually, he was pegged for the job as a child, and the above episode might have been an "experiment" by the SIs, with their forces toned down, that didn't work. Thus it is Ted who would meet the President and transmit SI messages to him. But the government has never accepted Ted's "credentials" (his mighty PK-feats), much less the many messages from the SIs constantly relayed by Ted. All their efforts were laughed at, forcing Ted and the SIs to draw attention through major PK feats, not nice ones like making flowers shower down on a city, but "destructive" feats. What else would really put fear and wonder in people's hearts? Ted had one slight ray of hope in August, 1970, when he received a letter from a government official (whose name of course is wrapped in security) who said the government was "interested" and that if Ted could furnish documentation of his PK powers, and also perform some striking PK feat for them exclusively, they might "computerize" his powers and come to some "favorable conclusion." Typical official doubletalk that means "try and prove it!" When Ted tried to make further arrangements with that mysterious party, nothing came of it--the same old story. Ted has been "pestering" the CIA, FBI, Secret Service, National Security Council, NASA, and many other government agencies for years for a "fair hearing" in (Continued on page 74) === Page 9 of 10 (Continued from page 72) behalf of the SIs, with no result except a chilling silence (plus routine investigations by the FBI which could only clear him of any "maniac" tendencies or plans). What is the urgent message from the SIs that earthly authorities must heed? The full and stark message? Through Ted, the SIs have constantly warned that a "great crisis" faces the world, and that they, the SIs, need a "base of operations" in the U.S. in order to stave off that catastrophe. And now we are coming close to the great revelation Ted recently perceived--just why the SIs here on earth are operating through Ted Owens. What tremendous "crisis" could possibly require their inconceivable supernormal powers? To give the answer its proper perspective, we must first examine certain key "insights" that came to Ted through the years. The answer lies partly in the Bible. Ted scrawled in his diary some years ago--"I was horrified at the death and destruction which ensued (after he had contacted the SIs). I asked them, why such horrendous deeds?" The SIs gave a rather strange answer: that Ted was the first human being they were able to communicate with since Moses; and that he would find the answer to his agonized question in the Biblical account of Moses. As we know, Moses warned the Egyptians that "seven plagues" would strike them if they did not free his people, the Israelites, from bondage. When the Egyptian Pharaoh "hardened his heart," the "predictions" of Moses came true--plagues of locusts and vermin and diseases and storms that ravaged Egypt, until the Israelites were released. Ted saw the analogy with himself--in order to achieve a good thing, Moses had been forced to be the harbinger of evil things, but only because of the stubbornness of the ruthless Pharaoh and his priests (the "authorities" of that era). Ted also saw that he was akin to a modern Moses. Substitute "U.S. government" for "Pharaoh" and there it was plain as day. Significantly enough, when Ted and his small daughter were first visited by a low-flying UFO back in 1965 (SAGA, August and September, 1970) it was a pillar-shaped object. Moses led his people through the desert, guided by a "pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night." These are excellent descriptions of today's UFO sightings by day and by night. However, his role as latter-day Moses did not fully satisfy Ted. Things did not quite fit. He wasn't freeing enslaved people and leading them to a promised land except in a vague symbolic sense. And then, in 1968, came the really blinding insight, when the SIs informed Ted he was partly like Moses but more like Ezekiel. First of all, as some of you may know, Ezekiel's vision in the Bible is an unmistakably clear description of a flying saucer coming down, with its "wheels within wheels" (or disks) . . . "glowing metal in the midst of fire" . . . "burnished brass" . . . "wings" . . . and many more "technical" terms utterly surprising when read in the scriptures. Secondly, the voice of the "Lord"--obviously the commander of this imposing UFO--boomed down and told Ezekiel that he must prophesy all sorts of catastrophes that would be visited on the people of that time, who had fallen into decadence. That should immediately remind you of Ted Owens, for Ted has repeatedly warned that civilization is going downhill morally, with the general breakdown in law and order and the spreading of social conflicts. Can anyone deny the steep rise in crime today, the constant threat of war, juvenile drug-taking to "escape reality," corruption of public officials, race riots, poverty in the midst of affluence, and all the other evils of present-day society? Hardly anyone believes the "world is still a good place to live in." But take Ezekiel's day. The UFO-master (Lord) enumerated all the "sins" of the ancient people--oppression of the poor, usury for illicit wealth, whoredom or promiscuous sex, slayings and savage little wars, worship of the money idol, and most of all, pollution of the land. Who can deny that all these earmarks of a declining culture exist today and are steadily--or rapidly--increasing? Another analogy between Ted Owens and the prophet Ezekiel is uncanny. . . Ezekiel was told to "smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot" to cause widespread famine, pestilence, and upheaval--how else but through some mighty "PK power"? Similarly, Ted Owens has been constantly ordered by the SIs to whip up hurricanes, lightning, violent storms. But why do you think Ted Owens, who often balked at the SI's "holocausts," did not simply bow out and decline their offer to be their "representative?" Ezekiel was plainly warned by the Lord that if he did not give his prophetic warnings and carry out his feats, the blood of the dead would be on his (Ezekiel's) hands. In several diary entries, Ted reiterates that the SIs gave him no other choice--"Carry out our plans or you will suffer." The SIs are not playing patty-cake. But now we can reveal the full scope of the SIs "grand mission" on earth (akin to the Biblical "angels" and "messengers" of the Higher Power who runs the entire cosmos)--and with it, Ted's ultimate mission. The SIs made it all clear in the following "message to earth" via Ted Owens (which was ignored by the national press and printed only in a limited-circulation UFOlogy pamphlet)--"Through us you have the opportunity to discover the secrets of space, of faraway places, of advanced technology. But better still you have the opportunity of surviving, for as a race YOU ARE UTTERLY DOOMED AS OF NOW. Many civilizations before you (on earth) have so doomed themselves." There you have the stark truth, that civilization is doomed unless mankind changes for the better with the aid of the SIs. Sheer nonsense? The twisted thinking of a "messianic" mind that has gone mad? Someone else, oddly enough, seems to think Ted's mission is somewhat like John the Baptist's. Dr. Morris K. Jessup, before he died in 1959, was an eminent scientist who also researched UFOs thoroughly. He wrote five penetrating books on UFOs, including UFO and the Bible. Jessup in that book analyzes portions of the Bible, particularly the Gospel according to St. Mark, Chapter 13, and comes to the conclusion that Christ's prophecies of destruction to the world--when it had become too "evil" to exist--could very likely come true in our time. "The imminence of catastrophe," wrote Jessup in 1950, "may be measurable on a comparable (future) scale or on a shorter one. 'Even at the doors' (Christ's warning after all his prophecies of intervening events had taken place) may mean tomorrow, or this afternoon. It may mean next month or next year--perhaps 10 years from now; but it almost certainly does not mean 100 years from now, and perhaps not even 50." After further analysis of the "time scale," Jessup comes to a shocking conclusion--"If that is correct (his analysis), and if we have a margin of about a generation in which to anticipate destruction, then we can roughly say that something (of world destruction) should be expected within the 30-year period starting sometime in the postwar decade (after WW II)." He comes to the grim point--"Should we say, then, between 1950 and 1980?" Now Ted Owens has consistently been warning the U.S. government (and the world through them, presumably) that a great crisis is imminent. Ted has never been given any exact time by the SIs, but he has the urgent feeling it will be soon, within a few years at the most. His warnings from the SIs have more and more included words like--"Tell your people the time is running dangerously short." Is there a "deadline for doom?" And will it be before 1980 as Dr. Jessup calculated? At first, Ted thought the SIs warnings might mean to beware nuclear war engulfing the world. But very recently, a new illumination came to Ted from the SIs, and now he knows it will be NATURE'S WAR ON MAN that will wipe out humanity. And "Nature's War" does not necessarily mean the SIs will destroy mankind with storms, but that man himself will bring about his own end. In Ezekiel, key words appear over and over--pollution, filthiness, fouling, defilement. The Israelites were polluting their environment and their minds. Are we not doing the same today, asks Ted? Pollution of the air, of water, of the soil; industrial carbon dioxide pouring out in such great volume that it threatens to upset the world's weather balance; mountains of trash and junk piling sky high; litter and debris tossed carelessly to the wind. But even worse is the pollution of the mind by ever-spreading materialistic, greedy, dog-eat-dog, anti-Christian, soulless doctrines. People want a "piece" of money-making things but never "peace" of soul. How long can three and one half billion people keep it up, without forever poisoning their dwelling place? And their minds? When animals foul their nest, they must leave and go elsewhere. 74 ☐ SAGA === Page 10 of 10 If earth is fouled, where do we go? Hence, Ted Owens, the Ezekiel of the SIs, is not saying the SIs will destroy us. We are doing that job ourselves, in blind stupidity. It will cause a "backlash" by Nature and its natural forces, and the big guns may start soon in the war on man. It's a war man can never win. And has that war already begun? The signs? The corn blight that wiped out much of the crop this year . . . oil pollution of tidewaters . . . mice and rat rampages in Europe . . . the starfish destruction of coral reefs in the South Pacific . . . the violin spider and fire ant in the southern U.S. . . . smogs in many big cities causing deaths . . . tests proving radioactive (nuclear) wastes have poisoned portions of the oceans. All of these and many more may build up to a crescendo of adverse "natural" bombshells all over earth, in time--in a short time. As Ted puts it, "Nature has started to turn its hand against Man. Nature has had it with Mankind and only wants to rid the earth of him." And who would replace man on earth? Ted has an ominous answer out of the documented files of UFOlogy. The Mothman, the Michigan Monster, the "little men" humanoids, and the various other non-human creatures seen emerging from flying saucers--they may be SI experiments to find a being able to replace man on earth. They are "monsters" only in our egocentric eyes. In the eyes of the SIs, human beings may be the worst "monsters" known. Yet the world can be saved! That's what SI messages through Ted Owens indicate. Suppose the miracle happened. Suppose the U.S. government "unhardened its heart" and backed up Ted. All he asks for is sanction and the means to meet the SIs in person, at some isolated spot where others can't be harmed. Ted himself will somehow be protected from the SI-forces radiated by their pure-energy bodies. Ted would then return with absolute proof of their existence, plus a world plan for reversing the self-inflicted doom syndrome to which all of humanity is heedlessly contributing. These plans would include, Ted says, a way to totally disarm the world and outlaw war . . . to end poverty and injustice . . . to wipe out disease and prolong life . . . to bring new joy and understanding to human spirits. A large order? All wishful thinking? Then read the book of Ezekiel in the later chapters, and see what the "Lord" promised his people if they repented. If there is any truth in the Bible at all, those are the kind of magnificent "world reforms" that the SIs perform as "angels." Ted's personal plans--if the world follows the SI program--are equally altruistic. He yearns to found the Church of Sota, a long-time dream of his. "Sota" means Secrets of the Ages. And in that, Ted includes healing secrets, both for the body and mind. Ted has fully outlined his grand establishment, which will include the Sota Library of Great Books, the Sota Hospital, the Sota Research Foundation (into "faith healings"), the Sota Haven for the Poor, and many other programs that will strive to uplift humanity. Even with his Church of Sota unborn, Ted for years has still sent out his PK disks to anyone requesting them--free. Each one is "charged and coded" with PK power to aid the particular person receiving it. And it is on record (SAGA, August and September, 1970) that Ted has received thousands of letters from grateful people, stating that "miracle cures" occurred when they wore his disk, or sudden "good luck" came to the despairing. Ted bears all the cost and effort of making the disks, charging them, mailing them, and writing long sympathetic letters to each claimant. There is a plain and simple word for it--humanitarianism. Perhaps you believe nothing of what has been written above. You, the reader, have the right to call it all sheer poppycock; the ravings of a demented man with illusions of grandeur, compounded by a messiah complex. But Dr. Jessup had this to say--"Seers and prophets, such as are quoted and written about in the Bible, would be considered crackpots today and reckoned insane."

It all started with the Oct. 22, 1972, edition of the TATTLER when DeLouise criticized the claims and tactics employed by Owens. "He hurts the image of legitimate ESP," DeLouise charged. After reading the TATTLER story, Owens flipped his psychic wig and wrote a scorching letter to DeLouise and dared TATTLER to print it. In addition, he told TATTLER he would "hex" the Chicago Bears pro football team. In his letter, Owens writes to DeLouise: "You have to be stupid. You know, dumb. No one in this world, in their right mind, would take me on. Not after I have documented causing hurricanes with my mind; controlling radar installations with my mind; controlling pro teams with my mind..." "Mind you, we are speaking of documented before-the-fact actions. But you have chosen to insult me...as did Long John Nebel some years ago, then he lost his prime time radio show; then his wife committed suicide; then he got cancer...and, so, you will get what you richly deserve, as time goes by." "You have to be stupider and dumber than me, because my IQ is scientifically certified. I am a member of Mensa. You are not. You couldn't make it. So...you are a dumb bunny." "As a psychic, fella, you are a nothing. So you can make some predictions. Big deal. I can make predictions that come true; also I can control exploding volcanoes, control the weather, control military forces, heal people given up by doctors for dead, control pro football and basketball teams, control radar installations...and on and on..." Owens signed his letter "Ted Owens, PK man" evidently the initials stand for "psychokinesis," the ability to control matter with one's mind. DeLouise reacted calmly to the tirade in writing, he told TATTLER: "I think Mr. Owens smelled publicity; and that's fine. But, after reading his letter, I have even more doubts about him than before. He claims he can control all those things, but it appears he can't control his mouth too well." "As for his promise to hex the Chicago Bears, I'm laughing...since his so-called hex the Bears, who hadn't won a game, won three straight...some hex. With results like that, I hope he hexes me." Owens claimed he "doubled the power of P.K." against the Bears and they will continue "to lose games and lose men to injuries until DeLouise makes a public apology to me." Owens charged DeLouise with seeking publicity by attacking him in the first place. DeLouise, however, stuck to his original guns. "I am convinced that Mr. Owens' claims are a detriment to legitimate ESP. In his letter to me, he actually takes credit for doing terrible harm to another human being - Long John Nebel, the New York radio man. He claims he causes football players' injuries." "That's an easy claim to make, football players are always getting hurt. However, I do understand the power of the human mind and the forces of psychokinesis...it is entirely possible to do others harm in the manner Owens claims. Therefore, if he insists on taking credit for causing injuries, he should take credit for causing death, for deadly harm to the masses of people." One of Owen's followers, Bernard Brugger of Edmonton, Canada, wrote TATTLER with the Owens' point of view: "Mr. Owens' activities (as attacked by DeLouise) have been taken out of context and I can assure you that Mr. Owens' purpose is not, but absolutely not, to hex football teams, etc., for the sake of doing evil or forcing the teams' owners into hiring him for a handsome salary." "He is using his tremendous mind powers in order to make people aware of the tremendous mind powers to deliberately harm another individual...they taught their philosophies by example, they showed others the right way with their actions." "Owens, then, is teaching others that if the world doesn't take your word for something you believe, you have every right to cause injury, sickness and even death. This is simply not true nor logical." "I'm not giving this character any more of my time or energy...as far as I'm concerned, I've made my point and that's that." Caught In Gas War, This Station Owner Drives His Tanker To Rival Station And Says--'Fill 'Er Up' Gas station owner Hugh Maldonado, 7, told a fellow trucker, "Fill it up." "We've been friends for a long time, and we're old buddies," said Maldonado. "I told him we were in a gas war, and I didn't have any gas. I couldn't get a gallon for a customer. So I drove my tanker over to his station, and I told him to fill it up. He did." "I told him that the owner of the competing station wasn't his enemy, about fought a battle at the local level," said Maldonado. "We've been friends for a long time, and we're old buddies," said Maldonado. "I told him we were in a gas war, and I didn't have any gas. I couldn't get a gallon for a customer.

Here's ↓ Owens' Reply === **Page: 2 of 2** Tattler editor... read this first = before forwarding = Owens Here's Owens' Reply Oct. 7, 1972 Mr. Joseph DeLouise, Psychic Chicago c/o National Tattler Hello.... A friend of mine in Chicago saw an article today, in which you say some nasty things about me in Tattler. You even have the gall to insinuate, as he explained it long distance, that I might be a 'frape and phony'. Let's take it one step at a time. You have to be stupid. You know, dumb. No one in this world, in their right mind, would take me on. Not after I have documented causing hurricanes with my mind; controlling radar installations with my mind; controlling pro teams with my mind; controlling pro football and basketball teams, control radar installations...and on and on... Did some John Doe, some years ago (then I lost his prime time radio show; then his wife committed suicide; then he got cancer)...and so, you will get what you rightly deserve, as time goes by. You have to be stupider and dumber than me, because my IQ is scientifically certified. I am a number of leaps. You are not. You couldn't make it. So...you are a phony. Second: (we've taken up the mental, now the psychic)...you are a psychic, folks, you are a phony. So you can make some predictions. Big deal. My prime predictions are the ones where I use my control abilities...hurricanes, control the weather, control radar installations, control pro teams, control doctors for dead, control pro football and basketball teams, control radar installations...and on and on. And all of it is documented. I have notarized, signed affidavits from clergymen, scientists, etc. So the truth is, that I have control abilities. You are a phony. I have hard work, I devote a certain time and places so that scientists and others could examine them with binoculars, etc. This, also, is proven. So...you have to be stupid to call me a frake or a phony. Third: why try to Hex football players to cause Chicago and others in the nose? My Hex over the Rams is. It's real. It's documented. It's real. It's real. I have notarized, signed affidavits from clergymen, scientists, etc. I can see a dirty, lousy, yellow coward. That is what I label you. Now, if you are a...go on down and get a source off in my Tattler with your crap. I am 52 years old. I am a minister, I am out of condition...but it would be a pleasure to give you a lesson in manners. Look at it any way you want to, folks...mental, psychic or psychic...you are a phony. You are from some nothing, of doing nothing, like Ted Owens. I am. And for your sake, you'd better believe it. Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 47, Ona, Carolina, Virginia 23910 Owens God Bless, Tattler. In his letter, Owens writes to DeLouise: "You have to be stupid. You know, dumb. No one in this world, in their right mind, would take me on. Not after I have documented causing hurricanes with my mind; controlling radar installations with my mind; controlling pro teams with my mind; controlling pro football and basketball teams, control radar installations...and on and on..." Owens signed his letter "Ted Owens, PK Man" evidently the initials stand for "psychokinesis," with the ability to control matter with one's mind. DeLouise reacted calmly to the tirade in writing, he told TATTLER: "I think Mr. Owens smelled forces, heal people given up by doctors for dead, control pro football and basketball teams, control radar installations...and on and on." Owens signed his letter "Ted Owens, PK Man" evidently the initials stand for "psychokinesis," the ability to control matter with one's mind. DeLouise reacted calmly to the tirade in writing, he told TATTLER: "I think Mr. Owens smelled in the first place. DeLouise, however, stuck to his original guns. "I am convinced that Mr. Owens' claims are a detriment to legitimate ESP. In his letter to me, he actually takes credit for doing terrible harm to another human being - Long John Nebel, the New York radio man. He claims he causes football players' injuries. "That's an easy claim to make, football players are always getting hurt. However, I do understand the power of the human mind and the forces of psychokinesis...it is entirely possible to do others harm in the manner Owens claims. Therefore, if he insists on taking credit for causing injuries, he should be jailed for assault with a deadly weapon." TATTLER asked Owens why he made such claims and what reasons did he have for attacking pro sports. "I do what I do to make people aware of the existence of higher spiritual entities who are not happy with the trends of our society." Owens claims that, by attacking pro sports, he attacks a decadent level of society without doing great harm to the masses of people. One of Owen's followers, Bernard Brugger of Edmonton, Canada, wrote TATTLER with the Owens' point of view: "Mr. Owens' activities (as attacked by DeLouise) have been taken out of context and I can assure you that Mr. Owens' purpose is not, but absolutely not, to hex football teams, etc., for the sake of doing evil or forcing the teams' owners into hiring him for a handsome salary. "He is using his tremendous mind powers in order to make people realize that such powers exist and that space people exist, too." Brugger lauded Owens' healing ability and the positive side of the man who claims he caused Los Angeles Rams pro football quarterback Roman Gabriel's lung ailment earlier this year. In ending his defense of Owens, Brugger wrote: "What do you think of Moses? Didn't he use sinister powers as Ted Owens? Sometimes, in a spectacular way, you have to admit. Should he have been jailed, also?" DeLouise, upon reading Brugger's defense, said: "Some people will believe anything. I accept that Owens could be an excellent healer and psychic - I don't attack healers and psychics who use their abilities for beneficial purposes, but his reasons for putting the hex on football players and persons who he insults him are weak and a little sick. "Moses didn't pick on the little things, like Egyptian chariot racers, he reluctantly used his God-given powers only when absolutely necessary. Moses and Jesus and other Higher Beings who worked among the masses never used their powers to deliberately harm an other individual...they taught their philosophies by example, they showed others the right way with their actions. "Owens, then, is teaching others that if the world doesn't take your word for something you believe, you have every right to cause injury, sickness and even death. This is simply not true nor logical. "I'm not giving this character any more of my time or energy...as far as I'm concerned, I've made my point and that's that." In an effort to get expert opinion, TATTLER asked Jeanne Dixon, one of the world's leading prophets, to comment on the controversy: "I don't like to grace such a thing publicly, but all persons with the psychic gift should use their talents for constructive reasons. I use my talents to help people. I'm here to help and not destroy." Joseph DeLouise ... 'Owens can't even control his mouth'. Ted Owens ... His hex on the Bears didn't work.

(AP) - The horror of the flood that torn life out of the Black Hills didn't really strike me until dawn Saturday. It started about 3 p.m. Fri- day with a call from Journal photographer Don Polovich. He had heard reports of high water along Rimrock Highway in the Hisega area west of Rapid City. It began as sort of a lark. I knew it was raining hard, but no one had prepared us for the wild night--and morning--ahead. There didn't seem to be any real danger. The water from Rapid Creek was running across the road in some places on the way up, but our two pickups made it through in good shape. But it was starting to look more serious. As we headed toward Hisega, the rain really hit. We pulled onto the shoulder and watched in amazement as a small stream spilling from the hill- side turned into a 4-foot-wide tor- rent. We turned back at this point, but were halted along with a number of other vehicles by a 3-foot wall of water spilling across the highway. We were stuck, but it seemed the water would subside in a couple of hours. Then we heard that at least one bridge was out and it would be days before traffic was moving normally again. We decided to walk back to town, shooting pictures on the way. Rapid Creek, 40 feet to our right, normally is clear and placid. But now it sounded like a freight train passing in the night. It must have been 150- feet wide in some places. We could hear people trapped in houses on the other side of the creek calling plaintively, rather than desperately, for help. It was pitch black, rain was falling sheets and all we could do was listen to the pleas. How many people were swept to their deaths in that area alone, I'll never know. About dawn we decided we'd hike toward Rapid City about three miles east. The carnage was unbelievable as we picked our way down a major Black Hills highway. Gigantic blocks of asphalt and concrete as large as the walls of a house were strewn across the roadbed. Boulders lay haphazard and bridge structures were ripped and dangling. The smell of a world ripped apart hung in the air. It was like nothing I've ever smelled before and hope to God I never do again. Mud was everywhere. Once- beautiful homes had been ob- literated. Articles from a shat- tered world lay scattered eve- rywhere. Here a shoe, there a table top, beside us a crushed toy. As we slogged down the high- way we came to the Cleghorn Springs fish hatchery on the outskirts of the city. The rear- ing ponds were under water, the offices were smashed and we could see where the creek had come out of its banks. Here and there little knots of people stared blankly at their homes -- or where their homes had been. Rapid City con- tractor Owen Emmet gave us a short lift to where his home had been. It was still there, but it was smashed and mangled. His wife wondered aloud wheth- er their dog was all right. Several survivors were perched on roofs and the only sounds were the soft squish of tires on mud, the occasional bark of a dog and faint, meaningless greetings of "Morning." Near once-beautiful Canyon Lake Park the smell of propane gas escaping from ruptured tanks was almost over- powering. Canyon Lake was gone. Rap- id Creek rushed through a sea of mud, automobiles and home furnishings. (It looked as though some insane giant had taken the palm of his hand and slapped it into the lakebed, emptying it.) The dam at the lower end of the lake had liter- ally been ripped from its stone anchors. The park was like a desolate moonscape. Giant trees were uprooted. Picnic tables, play- ground equipment, and the arti- cles of everyday life cluttered the land. The beautifully mani- cured grass had huge gouges torn from it. A body lay in a jumble of wreckage. We hurried past. And the horror of life torn apart was the only thing on my mind. I didn't want to see any more. TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS... (1) another case of water attacking again! (See previous letter from me re the dam, at Man, bursting!) (2) Last week I aimed the Si's brand new psi force technique, "The Deadly Triangle", at the Cleveland, Ohio, area...whilst waiting for my xerox copies to be returned from Norfolk, to be sent out to you. Now, this South Dakota flood, "once in a hundred years" occurrence...would be the natural phenomena resulting from the Triangle attack...IF IT HAD HAPPENED AT CLEVELAND! Of course...I did not want any deaths or injuries But I tell you in all seriousness...my mind has become powerful enough to have brought this flood about. I know this for a fact...but it may take you a while to realize it, as fact. The question in my mind is: since I directed the Triangle mentally at Cleveland, without consulting a map...could there have been a natural human error on my part, geographically? (Geography is one of my poorest subjects.) Owens XPKMant PS...many of you can refer back to my files of years past...and dig out a letter I sent to you where I had PK'd Florida...and an airplane crashed weirdly (believe it was an astronaut)...and the newspaper clipping said "It seemed as if a giant hand had pushed the plane straight down into the ground." Then, when I PK'd Nevada...another weird plane crash involving a nuclear scientist...and again the news clipping said "It seemed as if a giant hand had slammed the plane down into the lake." Now read the clipping here, and the reference once again to a "giant hand." === **Page: 2 of 3** June 1, 1972 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS.... aside and apart...from psi-force phenomena...thought you would be interested in this. on Jan. 21, 1972, I wrote J. Edgar Hoover, FBI...sending copy of the attached letter, which is self-explanatory. Note: I recommended that the dummy stack of $100 bills (or whatever amount) be time-set to go off in three minutes. While in Cleveland last week, May 19, 1972...I found this item below in the newspaper. The dummy stack of bills idea had been used...along with the three-minute timing suggestion. I had never heard from the FBI in answer to my letter. But it is interesting, yes? Owens & PK Mant 5/19/72 Tear Jerker KENNETH CAIN coolly grabbed a bundle of five-dollar bills from the counter at the Trust Company of Georgia's Bibb County branch, stuffed it down his trousers and ran off. Then he found the bills were too hot to handle. Three minutes later, when Cain was in a cafe ordering a meal, tear gas started pouring down his trouser legs. The bundle of bills was booby trapped to go off when tampered with. Other people in the cafe stamped for the street, coughing and sputtering. A passing policeman dashed in, ripped off Cain's smoking trousers, wrapped him in a table cloth and took him into custody. All the stolen money was recovered. === **Page: 3 of 3** January 21, 1972 Mr. J. Edgar Hoover Federal Bureau of Investigation Dear Mr. Hoover: My 9 year old boy and I were "brainstorming" on how banks could foil bank robberies, and came up with the following plan: Tellers of banks would be given, by the FBI, ten stacks of counterfeit $100 bills. (Just on top and bottom. Say 20 bills to a stack; the center bills could be blank green, but the stack would be sealed so that the robber wouldn't have time to break the seal and check the stack. It is assumed anyway, that the robber would be in an abnormal state of mind...watching for guards, cameras, etc., hence would simply sweep the counterfeit stacks into a briefcase, or bag.) Then: (1) One of the stacks of bills would contain a signaling device in the center, a dummy stack...and the teller would simply slide a button forward on the stack to activate it. From that moment on...the robber could be tracked inside the city with special equipment to coordinate the signals on the signaling device, thus locating the robber/s very easily. Or (2) one of the dummy stacks could have a timing device, again by a button slid forward by the teller...with an explosive inside it. The robber would scoop the stacks of 100's into a bag...run out to his car...and three minutes later the car explosive charge inside it go off. I made inquiry of Mr. Lusk of the Virginia National Bank in Cape Charles, Virginia, as to what he thought of the explosive device...and he said that it could possibly be a danger to have in the bank. That, of course, would be up to the FBI to evaluate. But I believe that the idea of the dummy stacks of 100's, with the signaling device, might work admirably. The robber/s would be watching the tellers...on guard against their pushing floor pedals, buttons, etc., but the psychology of this plan is...they would not suspect the very money they were stealing! Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Men) Box 48, Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 Virginian-Pilot, Thursday, June 8, 1972 How to Make a Bandit Cry FLINT, Mich. (AP)--A tear-gas bomb stuffed into a robber's sack along with $1,100 is credited with bringing about his capture only a bit more than 3 1/2 minutes after a lone bandit fled from a West Side branch of Genesee Merchants Bank & Trust Co. The man, not immediately identified by police, was run down by a plant security guard after he abandoned the tear-gas fog that enveloped the interior of his getaway car six blocks from the bank. Teller Judy Yonar, 24, said a man walked up to her window and demanded money. She said she gave him $1,100 in a bag into which she also slipped the tear-gas bomb, set to go off in 3 1/2 minutes. Grabbing the bag, the robber fled, jumped into a car, and sped off. Six blocks later Judy's bomb exploded. Clarence Beuerle, a retired Michigan State Police sergeant, suspected that something was wrong and gave chase. He soon overhauled the near-blinded man, who had abandoned the car. SCIENTISTS: As you can see from this file...my idea has been put into action...and thus far (at least as has been published) it has quickly, easily and safely...solved two bank robberies...both within the three-minute time span I recommended to the FBI. -Owens Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Nixon, dated July 30, 1969, read in part: "The SIs told me that there is a plot already underway . . . has been completely planned . . . to kidnap you at your Key Biscayne residence (Florida). The 'bad guys' (Cubans) know how well protected you are . . . but they are going to strike at night, by water . . . with fast boats . . . with a highly skilled commando group of 50-100 men." The letter was signed, Ted Owens, PK Man. The Miami Herald on August 24, 1969--only three weeks later--carried the headline: SPY PLOT SHATTERS PROSPECTS FOR RENEWING U.S.-CUBA TIES. After revealing that Fidel Castro's U.N. diplomats doubled as spies, the text stated: "The U.S. public is likely to consider the recruitment of spies for a mission relating to Presidential security very much more seriously than guerrilla activities in a faraway land. There was, according to some reports, a James Bond touch to the recruitment plot . . . These reports claimed the plan was to study President Nixon's movements at his Key Biscayne home, using scuba divers as part of the surveillance team." On March 10, 1966, after years of drought in the Northeastern states, Ted Owens wrote to Pres. Lyndon Johnson: "I have some very good news: from the UFO Intelligences . . . to PK man . . . to you. The SIs have decided to end the entire drought on the East Coast. In the days, weeks, and months to come there will be rain, rain, rain . . . not just a little, not just 'above average,' but phenomenal rain . . ." From the Philadelphia Enquirer of July 22, 1967: "We were pleased to note . . . the admission by the United States Weather Bureau . . . that the drought which plagued the northeast corner of the country for the last six years, has ended." After citing that abnormal rains had been reported all through the northeast during the spring and early summer, it was stated that New York's reservoirs "could 22 - [ ] SAGA === Page 3 of 8 747 CRASHES BLACKOUT ASSINATED! 76'ers Lose Play-off INJURY CURSE HITS EAGLES === Page 4 of 8 hardly be fuller." The year 1967 was also called the "year that had no spring" because it rained so much. The sunny days of blossoming flowers and awakening life were rare. The rainy spring led to an even wetter summer, as if nature was making up for the six years of drought all in one year. On October 26, 1965, a telegram sent to George Clark, CIA, Washington, D.C., held this alarming statement: "A rare warning. They (the SIs) will unleash a terrible catastrophe within 10 days." Signed: "PK man" (Owens). A little more than 10 days passed without incident. But on November 9, 1965, the Big Blackout hit seven northeastern states and parts of Canada, plunging 30 million people into darkness. Without electrical power for up to 12 hours, the lights of entire cities flickered out, machines stopped, and TV and radio went off. Emergency measures were required to rescue people trapped in stalled elevators and subway trains. Hospitals switched on their own power generators for critical operations. Was this what the telegram meant? On the morning of November 14, 1969, the Apollo 12 was in the final stages of the countdown, ready for lift-off to man's second moon landing. North of Cape Kennedy, in Virginia Beach, Va., three prominent citizens (their signed and sworn affidavits are on file) heard Ted Owens state that lightning would strike either the pad or the spacecraft. Seconds after the giant rocket roared into the overcast sky, the control crew at Cape Kennedy was alarmed to see a sudden drop-off of telemetered data from the spacecraft. Through an alternate voice-circuit, astronaut Charles Conrad told how lights had gone out within the spacecraft, adding: "I don't know what happened. I'm not sure we didn't get hit by lightning." The PK man had done it again. More tragic was the prediction in a letter of March 4, 1968, sent by Ted Owens to government agencies, relaying a warning from the SIs of the "destruction of one or more highly-placed U.S. Government Officials --by assassination." Within 12 weeks, Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were killed by assassins' bullets. The above are only a few cases out of more than 200 documented predictions and paranormal phenomena originated by Ted Owens. Now, just who is this Ted Owens, the PK Man? He is a tall, broad-shouldered man of 50, with Illustration by Hal Frenck 24 SAGA === Page 5 of 8 a receding hairline, thin lips, penetrating brown eyes, and an IQ of 150. But that doesn't tell you who or what he really is. Let the man who knows him best do that, Ted Owens himself: "I am the only human being alive able to communicate two ways with the SIs, and prove it. I'm the PK Man." The SIs are Saucer (or Space) Intelligences. PK stands for "psychokinesis," the power to manipulate, move, or otherwise affect physical objects, through mental forces alone. The two are related. Ted Owens claims he gets his PK powers from the SIs. It all began, says Owens, in 1965. In order to support his wife and three children, he had already "mastered 50 professions," a bewildering variety including lecturer, jazz drummer, magician, hypnotist, bodyguard, boxer, private investigator, office manager, fortune teller, teacher of auto suggestion, instructor in knife throwing, designer of jewelry, psychiatric secretary, lifeguard, and last (of this incomplete list) but hardly least--rainmaker. He cheerfully admits he has no academic degree or official standing in the "establishment", yet it's a matter of record that he has an IQ of 150 (genius starts at 140), and for two years worked with Prof. J.B. Rhine at Duke University in various ESP experiments. In a private gathering with Rhine and his wife, Louisa, plus friends, Owens startlingly demonstrated his PK powers by causing a scissors to whisk off a table and fly for several feet without being touched. It all really began on that day in 1965...but let Ted Owens himself describe it (from his book--How to Contact Space People--Saucerian Publications, 1969): "While living in Fort Worth, Tex., my daughter and I were driving in the country one night, when a cigar-shaped UFO suddenly appeared at our left over a field, and came floating toward our car making no noise. It had red, white, blue, and green colors flaming vividly from it. Its nose was tilted down towards the ground. As we watched, it approached close to our car, then instantly vanished, just like a light turned off." At first glance, this seems to merely be one of the many vivid, although common, saucer sightings. But it was far more than that for Ted Owens, as he wrote: "From that day on, my life changed radically...While in Fort Worth I gave my daughter, Lornie, several demonstrations of making lightning strike in certain areas during thundershowers. I was playfully experimenting with a theory I had on the practical application of PK or psychokinetic power, to nature's forces." Notice the word "playfully." Owens was soon shocked to discover that his "playing" was real after his family had moved to Phoenix, Ariz., which at that time was in the midst of a bad drought. The idea to experiment with ESP for weather control came to me again, so I gathered my children together and showed them how I would make it storm. It did, so intensely that the city was declared a disaster area." We can infer that Ted Owens was more amazed at his success than he admits, and a bit dubious of his presumed PK powers. "To make sure that it was I who had brought this about, and not just a coincidence, I announced to my family we would make a series of storms--and I wrote to the local papers to that effect." Owens was certainly gambling, for it would be the first publicized demonstration of his PK powers--if he had them. The results were astounding. (Continued on page 90) Ted Owens's past record--200 documented predictions and paranormal phenomena--is indisputable testimony of the man's unique role as a "go-between" for the Space Intelligences. For instance, in June 1967 he notified the U.S. Hurricane Center that the SI's would produce three simultaneous hurricanes. This had happened only four times before since 1886. In September 1967, Hurricanes Beulah, Chloe, and Doris were all active on the same weekend, something that the weather bureau admitted was "unprecedented" in modern times!

(Continued from page 25) "It produced eight terrible, rocking thun- derstorms complete with tremendous ligh- tning displays, within a period of three weeks." Owens has signed and notorized state- ments from his family that all this is true. Now all of Owens's doubts vanished. "Electrified by my success, and know- ing for certain that I had something, I wrote to government agencies and to many important people, but to no avail. No one would believe me. We moved then to Los Angeles, also in the middle of a drought, and I made some tremendous storms there." This too is fully docu- mented. Owens was careful to document his apparent PK feats by telling various offi- cials or prominent people what he pro- posed to do, then having them sign an affi- davit before or after the event occurred on schedule. Some of these will be quoted later, in connection with more important events. But gradually, there came a great- er revelation to Ted Owens. "Now, I figured that somehow I had managed to contact the essence of the in- telligence behind Nature herself." This seemed to be so, because soon after, when Hurricane Cleo began roaring off the coast of Florida, Owens excitedly drew a rough map and told his family he would "con- trol" the storm. He writes: "To the amazement of my family, the hurricare followed my map to the letter!" Now sure of himself, Owens then stuck his neck way out. In October 1966, he bol- dly announced to the Florida weather bu- reau exactly what he was going to do-"guide" Hurricane Inez north from Cuba instead of west as expected, then make it backtrack and hit the Florida coast when all the "experts" said it would go out to sea. Inez followed Owens's "schedule" to the hilt. Weathermen ad- mitted it was "unorthodox," almost im- possible. Even more "impertinent" was Owens' notice to the Chief of the U.S. Hurricane Center in June 1967, saying that the SI would produce three simultaneous hurri- canes. This had happened only four times before since 1886. In September of 1967, Hurricanes Beulah, Chloe, and Doris were all active on the same weekend, some- thing that the weather bureau admitted was "unprecedented" in modern times. Obviously, if he really had this power to turn and guide hurricanes, Owens could perform a great service for the country. He thereupon bombarded government offi- cials in Washington with letters, telling them what he could do and offering his "anti-disaster" powers. Some men, like Clark of the CIA and Eastwood of NASA saw him in person, and admitted a strong interest in his claims, but the regret was, as Owens puts it-"no action." If they didn't consider him a harmless crackpot (he does not resemble one), they were apparently hamstrung in their attempts to reach their superiors. Another big turn in Ted Owens's per- sonal life came when he discovered that he had not, by himself, created or guided (Continued on page 92) SAGA 90 === Page 7 of 8 (Continued from page 90) storms by some eerie contact with the "essence of the intelligence of Nature." It was some *other* intelligence, and he writes that, after moving to Washington, D.C., in 1965, "I discovered for the first time it was not Nature, but the UFO Intelligences who I had been contacting, and who had been guiding me." Owens had become aware of a "saucer flap" in the area, which was part of the great UFO wave of 1965-66. Then, quite unexpectedly, he received a message from the SIs telling him to inform the CIA that incredible magnetic phenomena would occur at the north and south poles. After sending this "prediction" to CIA man Clark, Owens wrote: "On July 8 (1965) all the newspapers carried a startling story: FLYING SAUCER IS REPORTED OVER TWO SOUTH POLE BASES! This huge disc-shaped UFO was clearly seen and photographed by many scientists of several nations, and they reported that it created powerful electromagnetic (per Owens's prediction) forces on their instruments. A bombshell burst in Ted Owens's mind . . . "I found out, with a jolt, that what I had been dealing with . . . were UFO Intelligences!" From then on, relates the PK Man, he was able to mentally "tune in" these Space Intelligences at any time. They arranged between them a series of phenomena whereby Owens would "predict" something and the SIs would make it come true. In some cases, they did this by beefing up his PK powers and letting him work the deed. In other cases, the SIs would do the job directly, keeping Owens informed. The result has been the 200-plus PK feats and incredible predictions--all apparently documented--that have flowed from Ted Owens during the past six years. Let's establish one thing here and now: Ted Owens is not a wild-eyed "contactee." He has never met an SI face to face nor has he traveled in their ships; he has not been whisked to their far off Utopian world nor has he eaten their exotic foods. Owens makes it quite plain, repeatedly, that he has only a *mental* contact with the SIs, that for some reason unknown even to Owens (as he himself freely admits) his brain is the ideal "receiving station" for SI telepathic messages, and most significantly, that he can "talk" directly to them on a *two-way* hookup. Owens believes that he is the only one on earth today with this remarkable ESP ability, and that in the past, perhaps only Edgar Cayce, Moses, and the wise men from some ancient civilizations had such direct SI contact. Ted Owens variously calls himself a "go-between" for the SIs in their dealings, or attempted dealings, with mankind; their "mouthpiece," their "front," their human "relay station" for messages. Owens constantly reiterates that he is not "responsible" for what the SIs do, even through his own PK powers, as they do all the planning and executing. Their purpose in all their paranormal doings, via Owens, is to *prove their presence* so that the authorities will listen to them (via Owens) and accept help. Whatever seeming "disasters" Ted Owens has been connected with, in the following accounts, the SIs claim they are here on earth to prevent a greater calamity. We will examine the motivations of the SIs more fully later on. Although Ted Owens has never been a UFOlogist or been active in the UFO field in any way, his special and personal relationship with the Saucer Intelligences has shed light on certain UFO phenomena in general. EM-effects. In answer to the question "Why do flying saucers affect cars and electrical instruments when they come close?," Owens says: "I'm glad you asked that, because the SIs just recently explained it to me . . . When they come into an area they want to investigate they throw out a 'net,' just like a fisherman throws his net overboard . . . They extend an electromagnetic net all around them that will trap and stop all power in that area in order to keep anybody from being able to communicate with humans outside the SI net, to radio for help, or to radio for airplane interference (from Air Force bases). . . Why don't Forest Rangers, who take care of our national forests, shoot bears and animals instead of tranquillizing them and tagging them? The SIs could actually destroy all humans in that area if they wanted, instead of throwing out a tranquillizing, power-stopping electromagnetic net." This implies (perhaps the most the SIs have revealed to Owens) that those landings which exhibit EM-effects are for the purpose of "tranquillizing" and "tagging" certain human specimens. This activity of course is not seen or reported in saucer sightings. We actually know little about the strange activities the SIs carry on when they mingle with humans. Falls from the sky. Though not always directly connected with sightings of UFOs, objects falling from the sky have been a riddle all through history. Huge falls of fish, toads, chunks of meat, blood--almost anything. Hundreds of these reports were collected by Charles Fort and these occurrences still continue in modern times. Sometimes they happen just after a UFO has flown over. And one particular substance--angel hair, a mass of odd fibers--has often been directly seen falling from a UFO. In answer to a question about a recent report of flesh and blood falling from the sky, and whether the SIs had anything to do with it, Owens provides a fascinating answer: "I don't think the flesh and blood fell from the sky. I think the flesh and blood fell out of the other dimension (from which the SIs come). In all the cases where I have read of a shower of fish or rocks falling from the sky, I believe it is caused by the SIs opening a crack in their dimension to let their craft in or out." Owens gives a more specific example in which he supposes that a UFO is rising out of the water and "they see people on the bank of the lake or the ocean, so they switch off into another dimension. But as they have come up out of the water, their power (EM field) might draw fish up with them, or rocks, or even people. When they switch on again into this (Earth) dimension (a moment later), in a different area than before, perhaps clear across the world, then those same fish or rocks or people--or parts of people--come back out with them and shower down." A rather gruesome explanation as to how flesh and blood might fall from the sky. Ruthless? Cruel? But if our spacecraft some day land on another world and the scheduled time for take-off comes, would the astronauts turn off their rockets just because a few natives or animals were within the blast area and might get burned to death? "Monster-men" and "Humanoids." Owens admitted he knew very little about these creatures so often seen during saucer landings. But he ventured this concept, which should interest Coral Lorenzen, who in one of her books advanced the same theory. She wrote that people saw humanoids or "hairy dwarfs" step out of saucers to collect plants or rocks. Owens said: "Yes, these are the SIs pets, which collect samples from earth for the SIs. Just as we use chimpanzees or porpoises, cats and dogs and horses, etc., to do the work for us. But for what purpose they want these samples, I don't really know." He says the SIs do not consult him on weighty matters, nor include him in master conferences concerning Earth's fate. His messages from them are strictly limited to the PK duties he is to perform. This should make most of us pause before calling this man a charlatan or self-deluded kook. Kooks and crackpots, as everyone knows, always place themselves one step below God (if they're modest) and share his omniscience. Various reporters, columnists, and other influential people (who will be named below) have said the PK Man's remarkable predictions *might* be coincidence or luck, but not likely. The facts seem to speak for themselves. Let's look at one of Owens's most sensational PK feats. Owens once said to a sports writer: "Sports is a superficial thing. But it's an excellent way to demonstrate the SIs power over a small group of men." Owens demonstrated the truth of his dictum by creating havoc with two Philadelphia sports teams, the Eagles of the National Football League and the 76'ers of pro basketball. Why he chose Philadelphia is a question that remains unanswered. He wrote to a dozen sports writers before the 1968 season opened, that he "would take the Eagles apart with PK," and absolutely crush their chances for the championship. He promised that the Eagles would have at least 20 injuries and would lose more games than they won. The Eagles had 30 injuries that season and lost 11 games in a row. That this was totally unexpected and almost weirdly unbelievable is seen from these expressions and quotes in the columns of sports writers: "Injury curse hits Eagles" . . . "Talk of jinxes and voodoo" . . . "The bewitched Eagles" . . . "Some whammy working on the team." Writer Stan Hochman wrote in the *Philadelphia Daily News*, September 30, 1968, after taking Owens to an Eagles' game, "I figured I'd pin him (Owens) down as to his claims of hexing the team. (Continued on page 94) 92 ☐ SAGA === Page 8 of 8 (Continued from page 92) When the Eagles scored and went ahead 3-0, Owens said, 'The SIs are going to have to get Woodeshick. Get him out of the game.'" Woodeshick was the team's star. A brawl began between two other players and "suddenly there was Woodeshick out there. . . They threw him out of the game for fighting, (italics added). . . The game even got stranger in the third quarter. . ." After a fumble, four Eagles were unable to pick up the ball and the Cowboys took possession. The Eagles lost the game. In another column Stan Hochman wrote: "For a while, Ted Owens was content to cause rainstorms where there had been no rain for six years. He did work up that satisfying power blackout in 1967 (June) when he snuffed out the light for the East Coast. But . . . nobody came clamoring after Ted Owens to buy his cloud-bursting, light-snuffing services." Hochman then recited the incredible roster of injuries, freak plays, and hard-luck breaks that overwhelmed the Eagles during the 1968 exhibition season. (They were to continue throughout the regular season). Without endorsing Ted Owens's claims, Hochman reiterated that everything that had happened to the Eagles was foretold by the PK Man and published. Paid attendance to the Eagles' games naturally fell off and Jerry Wolman the team's owner, filed bankruptcy. Was it all a fluke? Were the Eagles destined to flop on their faces in 1968 without the intervention of the PK Man's alleged powers? Owens tested himself again in pro-basketball. On April 23, 1968, a prominent lawyer signed a statement that Owens had predicted the Philadelphia 76'ers would lose their play-off games with the Boston Celtics, and that the 76'ers would miss their shots to an incredible degree. George Kiseda, sports writer: "76'ers shooting is off . . . They might as well have been trying to put a medicine ball in a teacup." Sam Jones of the Celtics was quoted as saying: "I don't think (our) defense is what's beaten them. They're just missing shots." Again a sports writer: "The 76'ers simply couldn't put the ball in the basket." The strange part was that the 76'ers were famed as a "sharp shooting" team. The payoff, as another sports writer put it: "They went blind from the floor . . . and suffered a 122-104 crushing. Back to Boston Wednesday and the blindness continued . . . They shot a pathetic 18-for-68 and the Celtics had little trouble in slipping away with a 114-106 win that evened it all at 3-3 (games)." The Celtics, the underdogs, went on to win the play-offs, the first team even to come from behind and win. Keeping all the above extraordinary factors in mind, either the laws of chance went completely haywire--or the awesome forces exerted by the PK Man fulfilled his threatening prophecy. Take your pick. Some of his more recent predictions have been startlingly fulfilled according to the available evidence. On February 10, 1970, Owens was interviewed by Lawrence Maddry of the Virginian-Pilot, Virginia Beach, Va. Picking a distant state, Owens predicted that a flying saucer would be sighted over the Brewer-Bangor area of Maine, and that some sort of power failure would occur at the same time. The deadline was two weeks but after only one week headlines from the Bangor area press screamed of a flying saucer sighting; there was also the story of one witnesses's car whose battery went dead. During the interview, Maddry had asked: "Well, Mr. Owens. What do you think will happen while you're here?" "I look for some kind of power failure," he said. When the reporter went out to start his car, he had a dead battery. Maddry's column dryly says--"Informed of this, Owens's eyes rolled slightly in their sockets . . . 'Hmm, they must be very close.'" In early January 1970 Owens handed a letter to a reporter stating that he would make one or more earthquakes for the reporter's paper on January 22nd. . . On that date earthquakes were reported in Berkeley, Calif., and in Japan. In fact, six earthquakes were reported from January 22nd to February 12th, which Owens explains as the SIs being unable to control the "echo" earthquakes that resulted from those of January 22nd. More impressive is Owens's bold statement to Lawrence Maddry and other reporters that the SIs would carry on a "private war" with Pan American Airways and that the Atlantic Ocean would become a "no man's land" for their giant 747 superliners. Two days later a Pan Am-747 left Puerto Rico, became disabled over the Atlantic and had to return to the airfield. The next day a 747 leaving London had to jettison fuel and also return to base. The following day a 747 crashed on the runway at Stockton, California. Is that guessing--or knowing? There is much more to tell about Ted Owens that could not be included here but will be presented in the next issue of SAGA. To be covered will be Owens's cases of PK healing, which are far fewer than those of the renowned Edgar Cayce but no less astounding. Also an intriguing explanation of who and what the SIs are, how many UFOs they have, how they operate, and what the fate of Earth will be if their (SIs) battle against the evil OIs (Other Intelligences) does not succeed. Then, there is the strange way the SIs communicate with Owens, involving "Tweeter and Twitter," two amazing SI creatures. Let us conclude with one more prediction by Ted Owens--which is really a message from the SIs as to their future plans. It should make all true UFOlogists sit up and take notice. The written-out and signed prediction is dated February 13, 1970, and was confirmed to me in another letter a week later. Here it is, verbatim: "This time the experiment (of the SIs) will not be confined to just one country . . . it will be a worldwide demonstration of UFO power! As of this date I am contacting the SIs and asking them to activate a special apparatus they have . . . to control weather . . . on a worldwide scale! The object: to prove the existence of the SIs, and their ability to receive communications from me. The objective: to cause violent weather worldwide, from this day on, throughout the entire summer coming up in 1970. "Not only that. But for the SIs 'signature' to this, they will appear in great numbers, here, there and everywhere. "In short, you are now going to be privy to one of the greatest shows ever put on, on this earth. And it will be put on by the UFO Intelligences, using their great powers. And these powers will issue forth from the Bermuda Triangle and the Devil's Triangle in the Pacific, I am positive." Well, there you have it. Ted Owens has more-or-less staked his reputation on this direct prediction to SAGA. If, when you read this, the world is being plagued by violent storms and disasters, and if there is also the greatest wave of UFO saucer sightings and landings in history, it could be coincidence. Or it could be the word of Ted Owens, PK Man, coming true.

Binder *Illustration by Hal Frenck* According to the man who claims to be their one and only "contact" on Earth, the Space Intelligences are now hovering in four huge, invisible craft positioned around our globe and "are trying to put the world in balance by cancelling out wars, hate, killing... drought, famine, etc." And with their fantastically advanced science, they are determined to make their presence known by unleashing and controlling the very forces of nature! ARTICLE STARTS ON NEXT PAGE SAGA - [ ] 23 === Page 4 of 9 "The Space Intelligences are pure energy and are invisible," says Owens. "Only the top members of the SIs can construct a form with their intelligence and pour themselves into it." Where do they come from? "The SIs are from a different world entirely. They are from another dimension. But they have discovered how to switch from their dimension into ours!" 24 - [ ] SAGA === Page 5 of 9 The Big Blackout of the eastern U.S. on November 9, 1965... Hurricane Inez in 1966 that turned the "wrong way"... Three hurricanes simultaneously hitting the U.S. in 1967... The ending of the northeast's drought in 1967... The mysterious "hex" that in 1968 made the Philadelphia Eagles football team lose 12 out of 14 games... The lightning bolt that struck the Apollo 12 mooncraft in December 1969... These and 200 other headline events (SAGA, August 1970), are claimed as PK (psychokinesis) feats performed by one man--Ted Owens--with the aid of the SI (Space Intelligences). A bold statement, yet Ted Owens has impressive documentation. Signed statements of government officials, lawyers, scientists, radio interviewers, sports writers, and many others all attest that Owens predicted those events. He was able to predict them because, he claims, the SIs had given him enormous PK powers. Whether you believe him or not, it would be difficult to explain all those sworn affidavits. For a man to guess right so many times is equally unbelievable. Keeping a careful account, Ted Owens states that 85 percent of his predictions have been fulfilled. He admits there are misses, for not even the SIs with their uncanny powers can always whip up a hurricane or earthquake on schedule. But the record is remarkable; over 200 fulfilled prophecies in five years, from 1965 to date. The PK Man's predictions have ranged far and wide, covering almost every category of world event--sneak attacks against U.S. aircraft carriers in Vietnam, the loss of three submarines in one year, the series of earthquakes that jolted California in late 1969, the failure of various Ranger moon probes, the unexplained crashes of military planes, a violent lightning storm in 1966... on and on the list goes. These calamitous events--at least those for which Ted and the SIs are responsible--supposedly have a "good purpose," as will be seen later. But first, let's get further insight into the life and mind of Ted Owens. In answer to the question, "Why did the SIs contact you and you only?" Owens replies: "As I have gotten it from them rather spottily, they had worked with me since early childhood, attempting to get through to me. As I grew up they kept trying. I worked for Dr. Rhine at Duke (Univ.) in the ESP experimentation there and was found to be loaded with paranormal ability... But the SIs still hadn't gotten through to me. It seems to have been a combination of the close approach of their UFO to our car in Fort Worth in early 1965 (SAGA, July 1970), and then my work in hypnosis and allied fields... that finally made it possible for them to get through to me." He goes on to explain the actual method of contact. "Now in 1965, when I discovered it was actually UFOs that I was dealing with, and not 'Nature,' the UFOs gave me a system to use to call upon them, just as if I'd pick up a phone and talk. They showed me, in my mind's eye, a small chamber. Inside the chamber were two small creatures, resembling grasshoppers, standing on two legs. These creatures looked down into a large round oval machine. In it they could see me. If I talked, they heard the sound, but the machine quickly turned the sound into symbols, and the symbols into very high-frequency sound that they could understand... For very important communications I was to appear on the screen and ask for 'Control,' and their Higher Intelligence would appear and listen to me." Owens bestowed on the two little creatures his own names--Twitter and Tweeter. But were they the actual physical form of the SIs? "No," says Owens, "the SIs are pure energy and are invisible. Only the top members of the SIs can construct a form with their intelligence and pour themselves into it. Twitter and Tweeter are merely convenient bodies for handling their apparatus." Where do the SIs come from? "The SIs are from a different world entirely. They are from another dimension. But they have discovered how to switch from their dimension into our dimension." Questioned closely, Owens shrugs and confesses he doesn't know anything more about their world. They have revealed very little to him, which is quite different from the all-inclusive knowledge most contactees claim to have. "They don't confide things like that. They just give me (Continued on page 52) Owens' plastic disk has "cured" sick people. SAGA - [ ] 25 === Page 6 of 9 UFO MISSION TO EARTH (Continued from page 25) assignments and training, all pointing at certain objectives." What are those objectives? Owens's voice turns grim and earnest as he gives this brief, chilling answer: "'The SIs will allow Russia and China to destroy us (the U.S.), if we don't cooperate with the SIs. Think of the world as a large field on a farm. If one section of the field won't grow crops, or be productive, then the farmer will just quit planting it and let it go to rot. And that's what will happen to the U.S. if we don't pay attention to the SIs." Owens has reiterated that all the earthquakes, hurricanes, crashing planes, and other events caused by the Owens-SI team via PK, are only spectacular attempts to attract attention to the SIs and prove they exist. And that Owens has been chosen as their sole "emissary" to make formal contact with earth authorities. Their lack of physical form and the handicaps of their alien origin preclude their ever landing and appearing in person on earth. Hence their "training" of Ted Owens and their gift to him of PK power to perform "miracles" of nature is in the hope of getting the U.S. government to accept their presence, and proffered help. So says Ted Owens. When asked why the SIs want to help or "guide" the U.S. in particular, Owens says: "The SIs are trying to put the world in balance by cancelling out wars, hate, killing, upset weather conditions, drought, famine, etc. They can do all these things easily!" And if they can lend Owens the PK powers that created certain hurricanes and earthquakes, caused vast power blackouts, and ended a six-year drought, they can use these powers in reverse without question. What they can unleash, they can also control. "But first," continues Owens, "they want a base to work from, and they chose the United States, perhaps because it is the most influential nation on earth." Another question really stumped Owens: "Just why have the SIs come here to help earth in the first place?" His candid answer: "I don't know. I haven't the foggiest notion of why. I have wondered about that myself." Conversely, a bleak future is painted for the U.S. if it continues to ignore the SIs. "Russia and China will combine to attack America and destroy it with both nuclear and biological weapons. The Asian race will become the main power of the world after the U.S. is destroyed, and the black people (of Africa) will become the second largest power." Eventually, Owens finishes, "the whites will practically be nonexistent." Just how the SIs intend to change this course Owens does not know. His only "job" is to keep performing his sensational PK acts, obtain the ear of the government, introduce them to the Space Intelligences by proxy, and then they will tell the U.S. what to do to avoid the above holocaust. This is the "mission" of Ted Owens. The sincerity of his devotion to this cause is beyond question. He has gained no wealth from his "crusade" and in fact, is today in debt with no possessions or home. "Broke at 50," as he puts it. For six years, since 1965, he has wandered with his family to several temporary locations, taking any job he could find. Any confidence man would have given up this poor-paying "racket" long ago, which has netted Owens nothing. One can only assume that Ted Owens, keeping at it doggedly for six years, has no ulterior motives but means exactly what he says. During his life, affluence and Ted Owens never got together. He has two children from a former marriage--Lornie and Rick--but after a divorce, they went with his ex-wife who offered to finance them through college, where they are today. Owens now lives with his second wife and their son, Beau, age 8. His family is one of his strongest supporters. There are signed and notorized statements from his older children on how he drew a map to "guide" a hurricane, or on how he made a prediction on a given date that later hit the headlines when it materialized. One of his most amazing prophecies came in a letter to Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson on May 10, 1966: "The SIs warn that a man is planning to load a small plane with high-explosives, and send the plane, kamikaze style, into the White House or the Johnson Ranch (in Texas). This man has planned this for a long while . . . put it off once, but now is getting 'worked up' to do it. Of course he'll be killed but he doesn't care. Believe he's an ex-Army flyer . . . service man, anyway." Signed, Ted Owens. One can imagine the reception this got from Presidential aides. Utterly preposterous! No President-hater, no matter how insane, would pull that ridiculous manner of assassination. It couldn't happen in real life. The New York Times, May 4, 1967: "FLIER DENIED BAIL ON THREAT OF CRASHING INTO THE WHITE HOUSE. A former Air Force pilot . . . has been jailed pending sentence because of an alleged threat to plunge a plane into the White House . . ." Somehow, the SIs had read this maniac's innermost mind a year before, and knew that someday he would get up the nerve to commit his spectacular deed. It is doubtful that any other so-called "seer" predicted this unlikely plot, except Ted Owens. Ted Owens still has fascinating revelations about the Space Intelligences: for instance, how they produce earthquakes. Owens reveals that: "There are four great SI craft positioned around our globe. It is these four craft that I signal when I wish to give a demonstration of earthquakes all around the world, as I have done twice for government agencies and scientists." Asking how big those four UFO's are, you get a staggering answer: "These craft are so big, we couldn't even imagine their size. Each one could be bigger than our earth itself." Yet, being from another dimension, they are completely invisible. Owens explains vaguely that the giant UFOs send down much smaller craft, which are the familiar saucers of sighting reports and which have somehow gained visibility. As to just how they create earthquakes: "After I signaled them, they (the four big UFOs) emitted an electromagnetic effect that slightly affected the rate of the earth's spin or movement, causing earthquakes, floods, and unusual weather." Again rather vague, but if true it means the four SI craft must have a colossal storehouse of electromagnetic power, able to grip the whole planet and give it a slight wrench. Ted Owens must feel like a man in a goldfish bowl, or like an insect under a microscope, because for the past six years: "They have used a monitor on me wherever I go. It is like a beam of light which extends from me through metal, rock, or any material, high up into the sky from wherever I happen to be--in a deep cave underground or on top of a skyscraper, it would make no difference." The SIs Owens says, have often, told him his life is "very important" for their purposes and that they are thus keeping constant watch on him and lending him special PK powers when there is danger. Owens then states that his life has been endangered at least 15 times, and recites several cases, some of which cannot be documented. As a young man, Owens was in Durham, N.C., with a girl friend when six toughs approached, with knives. They cornered the pair on a side street with assault and rape in mind. Owens had a .25 automatic in his pocket but merely withdrew it and handed it to the girl as a last-ditch defense. "Then," says Owens, "I walked right down the street at the gang coming toward us. I stared them all in the eyes 52 - [ ] SAGA === Page 7 of 9 and they froze. I grabbed the ringleader by his coat and told him to take his gang and get away from us. And that is just what they did." On other occasions the same thing happened, Owens staring and some mysterious power making a would-be assaulter "freeze" and lose all desire to inflict harm or death. One of the most dramatic cases, and this one fully attested to in writing by his daughter, Lornie, occurred when Owens and Lornie were walking along a street in San Antonio, Tex. Suddenly, a man they had never met rushed at them with a long knife, yelling insanely that he was going to kill them. Owens repeats, rather monotonously: "I stared into his eyes. Suddenly he dropped the knife, got down on his knees, and began to pat Lornie on the head, apologizing for threatening us." Since we have his family's sworn statement that this attack was not a figment of Owens's imagination, how do we explain his extraordinary power to render his assailants helpless without laying a hand on them. If it isn't PK power, *what is it?* If the SIs are keeping watch on him, they are doing a darn good job. Ted Owens also makes the enigmatic statement that he is *part* SI. Then he adds, "Somehow, as time went by, they changed the right lobe of my brain so that I could get to this point (to two-way ESP) with them, because the ordinary human brain will not pick up or send back messages to the SIs." If his brain has been modified or altered to accept SI communications, then technically he is part SI. Furthermore, says Owens, "The ordinary human brain will break down under SI communications . . . The other human beings (they attempted to work with) always had a heart attack or brain hemorrhage or broke down completely in some way. *That is why I am so rare.*" In a sense, Owens is then a "tailor-made" human receiver, deliberately fashioned in the mental sense into the most powerful PK mind living today. This brings us to another amazing facet of Ted Owens's powers--healing. Though he disclaims being another Edgar Cayce, he has to a limited degree been able to perform certain "miracle cures." In one case, a young girl savagely beaten by a street gang suffered a skull fracture and doctors gave her only hours to live. Informed by a friend, Owens went to the hospital and obtained permission to see the patient. Though he does not know just how he did it, Owens believes he "radiated" PK healing power so that the girl survived. The attendant doctors shook their heads and called it a "miracle" beyond medical science. To spread whatever he could of his healing powers among the people, Owens had red plastic medallions made; on them were stamped his private "emblem"--a circle with a line through it and a lightning bolt below. By fingering it before mailing it out, Owens believes he "charges" it with PK power that will work beneficially for the recipient. Owens has sent hundreds of these, *without charge* to whoever requests them. He says, "This is not a commercial enterprise, but an expression of compassion by the SIs for humans, and of their love and affection for us." Do these "charged" disks have any hidden powers? Some of the letters Owens has received may provide the best answer. Mrs. B. C. of Willowdale, Ontario, Canada, writing of her daughter: "Dr. M. (surgeon) had six or seven doctors with him when he operated on Ruth. Cancer was found in tumors which had spread all through her right (side) up into each lung." The doctor added that if she survived the operation, she might live up to six months, no more. Mrs. B. C.'s letter goes on: "Immediately after she'd been operated on, a disk was sent by you (Owens) and placed on Ruth." Almost a year later doctors reviewed her case and "they can't understand how she can still be alive plus the success they are having with her treatments." One item does not prove the case, however. Mrs. E. B. of Lockwood, Mo. "My husband . . . seems almost entirely free of the terrible neck pains he had had for two years. They were driving him insane." Her husband kept his disk with him day and night. G. B., a woman in Cincinnati, Ohio, who has a PK disk: "My doctor told me today that my back seemed straight. He was a bit puzzled because he did say he SAGA - [ ] 53 === Page 8 of 9 could not straighten it." (Italics added.) Mrs. L. W., of Canoga Park, Calif., a lady whose hands were almost completely crippled by painful arthritis: "As you will notice I am able to write this letter with my hands . . . I am even able to use the sewing machine to make clothes for my family. This is how much I have improved . . . Most of the time this past month I have been free of pain also. . ." The PK disk's power is not limited solely to "faith cures." From Kodiak, Alaska, a woman writes about her husband's luck in fishing for queen crabs: "He put his pots out in one spot in Alitak Bay . . . He only had 13 pots that first time and in seven fishing days he brought in a full load of tanner (queen) crabs, which is real good. Here is the oddest part of it; a whole flock of boats moved in on him, had him surrounded with their buoys and pots. They didn't do any good at all and they picked up their pots and left . . . But he (her husband) got another boatload of 7,500 crabs. He went back and got his third load of crabs from the same spot, while these other boats got so few they picked up their pots and left. . ." Her husband had been carrying the PK disk. There is yet another angle to this story that makes it even more fantastic. This same woman had first written to Ted Owens, on October 30, 1967, requesting a PK-disk, with this explanation: "My husband's problem is this: in 1964 we lost two commercial fishing boats . . . in the Alaskan Good Friday earthquake. We had to get an SBA loan and went $82,000 in debt . . . With the high cost of living in Alaska, we are very much afraid we are going to have our (new) boat repossessed, as my husband is a crab fisherman and just can't make it unless he *catches more crabs*." Now reread the woman's first letter and you will see *why* her husband miraculously caught crabs where nobody else could. Fishing luck, of course, is notoriously quixotic, but the kind of luck that fisherman had is incredible! Unless it was more than luck. One more medical case is startling, according to this note from a woman in Pensacola, Fla.: "Concerning my brother . . . being mentally ill and had been for 15 years . . . Don't know what has happened but his mind is OK now and he is home from the hospital." She had left a PK disk with him a month before. In the stack of letters Ted Owens has received from grateful people to whom he sent his PK disk, these phrases appear over and over--"The doctor was amazed," . . . "The doctor couldn't believe it," . . . "The doctor acted stunned." However, Ted Owens is not touting himself as a miracle healer nor usurping the province of doctors. Far from it. He states firmly that: "I warn all that I work with, to work closely with their doctors, dentists, etc., the PK methods certainly do not replace our human medicine and surgery. . . I explain carefully the UFO intelligences cannot pull teeth, or remove an infected appendix . . . OD (Other Dimensional) methods are to be used, with the doctor's permission, only after all regular medicine and surgery have failed." Owens is also careful not to claim godlike powers for the SIs, although he quickly adds that "the SIs are doing God's work." Owens has pondered the past six astounding years of his life and has come to the conclusion that there are certain parallels between him and Biblical people--notably Moses and Ezekiel, who both performed "miracles." How? With the same *PK powers* that were bestowed upon Owens. Certainly the ability to conjure up lightning storms, turn hurricanes, and heal the sick--if Owens really has this ability--is comparable to Moses making water pour from a rock, or Ezekiel summoning a strange mechanical "whirlwind" to carry him away--which was undoubtedly a UFO! Hence the strong linkage Ted Owens finds between God, the Space Intelligences, and his own superhuman PK powers. Not that he knows all the answers, which he readily admits. Another reason the SIs may be here as "watchdogs" of earth is because of the OIs--Other Intelligences. Owens cannot elaborate on them, except to say the OIs are "evil" as compared to the SIs. When asked if the SIs and OIs are using earth as a battleground, Owens says, "I think it's more like a game of chess between the *several* kinds of Space Intelligences, and we are the chess pieces. They (the SIs and OIs) are too advanced to shoot at each other, as we do. They think in such dimensions, and at such depths, that it would be beyond our tiny, limited minds to even imagine." For this reason Ted Owens tried to obtain $5,000 in 1968 to have a free year in which to contact the SIs more closely and find out all those answers. Owens was thwarted in gaining the backing of the U.S. government. He had planned it this way: "The U.S. would send me to Europe with one Special Forces man, as a bodyguard and witness. I would be guided by the SIs to select an old deserted castle in an isolated location. I would live there for one year. Sometime during that time the SIs would appear to me for a face-to-face meeting, and arrange a way to meet with the President (of the U.S.)." Owens is serious about this being his "mission," however, he has given the government an alternative. He recently wrote President Nixon and offered to spend 30 days in the Bermuda Triangle, if they would furnish him with a comfortable boat plus a submarine nearby to observe. He would also spend 30 days in the Devil's Triangle near Japan. Owens said his mission would be to make contact with the SIs. The PK man would not guarantee results but said the SIs might very well come to him in either or both triangles because he is the only human being who can "call" them. This raises the point that the SIs, as Owens believes, have been training him all along. In a letter to me, Owens states: "Yesterday I awoke, and realized that the SIs had been at work on my brain (during sleep). This time they have given me the key to something that has been puzzling me for years. Namely, what has motivated me to learn 50 professions? . . . "Each profession demanded that I learn a 'language'. With Gregg shorthand (my speed was 200 words per minute) I had to learn all the symbols. . ." He goes on to list how typing forced him to learn the keyboard system . . . As a steel mill inspector he had to learn calibration and other measurements . . . In teaching autohypnosis, it was the symbology of the Brain Wave Synchronizer . . . and so on. "So," concludes Owens, "when it came to the SIs getting a breakthrough into my mind . . . teaching me their OD (Other Dimensional) symbols . . . I had already developed a strong 'muscle,' so to speak, with which to receive their information." This reminds one of the rigorous training astronauts go through in order to "think space," which, with its zero-G and third-law-of-motion characteristics is entirely different from "thinking earth." Without intensive training, no man could ever have mastered the semi-computerized thought processes necessary to fly a ship into space. Similarly, no human mind could possibly grasp the intricate symbology of (Continued on page 56) === Page 9 of 9 (Continued from page 54) pure-energy intelligences from another dimension unless it was thoroughly programmed, like the mind of Ted Owens. Logical, understandable, rational, Owens's whole approach to the mystery in which he finds himself is scientific and not mystical as with the contactees. This is clearly seen in Ted Owens' own "SI Glossary" in which he defines various ODEs (Other Dimensional Effects): Nature's Mailbox--A visual-image "mailbox" into which he puts "letters" to be acted upon--as when requesting a storm. Angel Box--ODE container which releases good intelligences which can be assigned to sick or hurt persons (apparently the mechanism by which the PK-disks work). PK Bubble--An ODE force placed around a person, thing, city, or even the U.S., to perform a specific task (which may be one clue to how Owens manipulates his PK powers) White Box, Rainbow Door, Messenger Units, Sound Force PK, Weight PK, Electromagnetic Bubble, Laser PK, (other ODEs based on scientific extrapolations of known forces and energies.) Let us conclude with some more sensational PK feats and fulfilled predictions made by Ted Owens in the past six years, which far exceed the accomplishments of such nationally known psychics as Jean Dixon and Peter Hurkos. On June 1, 1966, in a written notice to the CIA and other agencies, Ted Owens predicted an early hurricane, within days, long before the traditional hurricane season. Loud laughter from the hurricane center must have turned into gasps when on June 7th, Hurricane Alma rose in wrath, the earliest Atlantic hurricane ever to hit the U.S. mainland. One June 18, 1966, Owens' predicted that violent electrical storms would soon strike the Philadelphia area. By the end of June and into July, that city was bombarded by electrical bolts seldom seen before. During this period, with a group of friends, Owens pointed and said a lightning flash would strike over a certain building--this happened within minutes. Owens made it strike there, he claims. It will definitely interest UFOlogists to know that the following "classic" sightings of saucers and occupants were predicted in advance by Ted Owens, and in some cases "ordered" by him. •The "Michigan Monster" case of August 1966, in Monroe County, where Christine Van Acker, a 17-year-old girl and her mother came upon a hairy, black, seven-foot monster. •The "meteor" of August 19, 1966, which was so bright that it cast shadows as it flashed across the skies over Pennsylvania and Ohio. Puzzled astronomers admitted it was too slow for a genuine meteor. It was, says Owens, a spectacular UFO that he had "promised" would manifest itself over Pennsylvania. •The semi-tragic tale of the saucer named "Floyd"--a police code name. In April 1966, State Police officer Dale Spaur and several other troopers pursued a low-flying saucer from the state of Ohio into Pennsylvania, without ever catching up. The sighting came to haunt Dale Spaur to the point where he lost his job and his wife. He became a broken-down hermit because he, or one of the other policemen, had fired at the UFO, which Ted Owens had prophesied would mean the police would be "without one officer." •The "Penninsula Monster" at Erie, Pa., on July 31, 1966, where Betty Jean Klem and three other hysterical teen-age friends in a car were accosted by a hulking gorilla-like creature, which later flew off in a saucer. But of course Ted Owens' most recent and significant prediction, as of February 1970 (SAGA, July 1970) was that the summer of 1970 would usher in the greatest UFO wave in history as saucers would appear in "great numbers everywhere on earth." Is that worldwide saucer flap going on right now? We might also ask that if the flap is going on is it being successfully smothered by the news blackout that has been clamped on all UFO reports since the Condon Report of 1969? If so, Ted Owens today is a frustrated prophet indeed. Finally, here are two more predictions by Ted Owens, which, if they haven't already been fulfilled, will be in a short time. Owens is confident they will. Prediction 1) There is a "terrible threat" to our forces in or near Vietnam. Owens says the SIs showed him the symbolical image of a black triangular mass silently converging there, either through the air or the water. He is not clear as to the exact nature of the threat but it's a "blockbuster force" and will be a major headline about Vietnam. Prediction 2) That Nigeria, because of its inhuman treatment of the conquered Biafrans after their war ceased, will suffer greatly unless they change their policy. "The long unlimited hand of the UFO intelligences," wrote Owens in a letter to President Nixon, "will now reach out and strike at the Nigerian government and teach them a lesson they will never forget. From now on, Nigeria is a marked country, until the present government and all the people responsible for the miseries of the Biafran innocents have been struck down with illness and death and misery themselves." Owens seems to imply that something akin to the "seven plagues" that struck Egypt in Biblical times will scourge the Nigerians. It is a matter of record that as of mid-February, a deadly new virus struck Nigeria only, with a frightful fatality rate of 50 percent. Three out of five medical lab technicians sent by the U.S. died promptly of this Lassa Fever, as it is called, and medical authorities called it an emergency. "The greatest mystery," to quote the The New York Times, "is where the disease came from." An SI warning to the U.S. about trouble in Vietnam (not caused by the SIs), and an SI vengeance on Nigerian cruelty. So says Ted Owens, mouthpiece of the SIs. ★THE END Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

EDITORIAL Why must we always assess the intelligence of UFO-flying space travellers by our own limited knowledge and claim they utilize some complicated means of propulsion? Could they not already, centuries ago perhaps, have gone through the various 'ages' from which this planet has emerged, and now reverted to the simple medium of gravity for their driving force? Perhaps they create their own gravitational force by means of electro-magnetism, as they travel. They have been seen to carry out manoeuvres far beyond the capability of any Earth-made machines at speeds of which we can only dream and they can come to an abrupt halt just when we think they are about to crash. Two such cases come readily to mind. The first case was reported to have taken place over a caravan park in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, and was witnessed by three people who observed a UFO behaving in a peculiar manner - as if in trouble. It was wobbling about the sky like a top that was running down. Then another object was seen to come in very fast and, just when it seemed about to collide, it came to a sudden stop after which the one apparently in trouble moved away very slowly. The second case concerns a number of UFOs, over New South Wales, which came in from different directions - on what we term a crash course. Just when it was thought they would hit, all stopped abruptly, paused and then flew off together in the same direction. Was this a meeting of the clans? Or were they generating current which would recharge their machines? We all know the simple principles of electricity; that by cutting lines of force we generate electricity. When the UFOs cut across Earth's lines of force, do they utilize this form of power for travel within our atmosphere? Flying Saucers are not new as some of our bewildered scientists are discovering. In the days of Alexander the Great, 'flying shields' caused his armies to be dispersed in fear on at least three occasions. In biblical days 'clouds' spoke to people and the beings who reportedly flew in these 'clouds' were depicted as having very large wings which would be useless for flight, as some Earthmen discovered according to our history, much to their sorrow --- and to the demise of some! These reports of flying shields, clouds and fiery and flying chariots, as mentioned in the Scriptures and in other ancient literature, make us aware that a means of propulsion existed, and was obviously in use many centuries ago, which men of Earth have not yet discovered as a medium of flight. Whilst we are still sending our astronauts into space 'chased' by enormous 'fire crackers', the UFO-nauts have obviously found a means of propulsion which we should work overtime to discover - if only because of its possibilities regarding a means of transport.

RESEARCH SOCIETY. by L.E. Adam 1. REQUIREMENTS OF SPACE VEHICLE PROPULSION: Two requirements exist, or rather two areas of requirements governed by environmental circumstances exist. Basically these are as follows:- (a) The launch propulsion system and its attendant atmospheric environment; (b) The space propulsion system and its attendant vacuumeric environment. In actual fact phase (a) will overlap into phase (b) and thus the requirements evolve as one requirement totally compatible in either atmospheric or non-atmospheric conditions. In other words, as all combustible fuels require an oxygen supply in order to sustain their combustion it becomes apparent that for a fuel to burn in both an atmosphere and a vacuum it would be necessary for the vehicle to carry an adequate supply of oxidant. Therefore, unlike a pure jet which derives its oxidant from the atmosphere, a space jet (which the so-called 'rockets' in fact are) must carry its own supply of oxidant, and subsequently the useful payload is reduced due to this additional loading. This has, from the outset, been a limitative problem which has beset space engineers for quite a considerable time - particularly when evaluated in terms of dollars and cents which show an average deep space manned launch cost of $27 million. Payload then becomes a most valuable commodity. Thus, efforts have been made to extend the useful payload capability without increasing the launch costs. Presuming that all equipment was necessary the obvious area for weight reduction would be the fuel poundage, and this has meant the careful investigation of methods of propulsion other than the traditional chemical system. Out of this need, and with the valuable payload goal in view, scientists of the Space Propulsion Laboratories turned their attention to two possible alternatives. Firstly, a nuclear system was examined but failed to produce a fully acceptable and fail safe method of sustained propulsion. Then considerably more promise was shown in the experiments with a heavy light system. This method entailed the ionisation of a coherent beam of light causing the light to have 'body' or 'substance' and therefore, just as a stream of water will propel a garden hose about, so the 'heavy' beam of light would tend to propel the vehicle creating the beam. This proved to be fine in theory but in practice had many anomalies. In the atmosphere the diffraction of the atmospheric light upon the beam caused a back pressure degener- (to page 3) 2 ION ENGINES (from page 2) ation just as our previously mentioned hose would show should the same be experimented with under water. Also the enormous power requirement to generate a useful thrust posed innumerable problems of storage and generation. However, these experiments were not wasted for out of them a hybridisation of the two systems investigated has begun to emerge as a very practical means. The Ion Engine. 2. WHAT IS AN ION ENGINE? All known substances, to a greater or lesser degree, are capable of being electrically charged either positively or negatively. In this process the minuscopic particles of the elements accept the charge individually. These tiny individual particles are known as ions and the process of charging them electrically is called ionisation. The ions, in accordance with the charge being applied become negative (or cationic) in potential, or positive (or anionic). Furthermore, as laid down in the mathematical laws of force, we know that when a conductor is passed through the field of a magnet a current will be caused to flow in that conductor. This is how electric motors and generators work. Therefore, it is apparent that magnetism exerts an influence over particles of matter in proportion to their conductivity. Also, by these same mathematical laws we know that when a conductor is surrounded by a magnetic field and a direct current is applied to it the conductor will be forced toward one direction or the other dependent upon the direction of the current flowing in the conductor. Hence it is not now difficult to see how a magnetic field surrounding suitably charged ions would cause those ions to be forced in one direction or the other according to the charge present (i.e., whether they are positive ions or negative ions). To take this a step further we find that the forcing of these ions in a particular direction constitutes a useable thrust. This is due to two factors namely:- (a) The ions are forced away from the field (to page 8) EDITORIAL (from page 1) it could have on the potential size of our space capsules! And consider this means of air transport instead of wheeled vehicles....! We have learned that stars and planets give off radio signals which would mean that they also have magnetic fields of some strength. Perhaps the space travellers use these as 'homing beams' and tune in to these signals to guide themselves through space. As the UFOs appear to have been with us since B.C. they must, by now, have 'plotted' all or many of the stars and their signals. Do these frequencies alter and require replotting? And do the UFO entities return from time to time to plant new navigational markers? Is this such a far-fetched idea? Once upon a time, and not so long ago either, it was thought that heavier-than-air machines would not fly, that we would never send a man to the moon and that "space travel is utter bilge" to quote the Astronomer Royal. But note the results of persistent research! If the U.F.O. groups keep plugging away at their research, even though at the moment UFO sightings may be somewhat scarce, perhaps in the not-too-distant future someone will, despite the oil companies, come into the open with an engine or a machine which will accomplish the same feats as the remarkable 'saucers'. If on the other hand, we continue to live as we do; building nuclear power stations willy-nilly, exploding atomic bombs and fighting wars among ourselves in headlong pursuit of global devastation, we may learn first-hand from a civilization which has been here before, brought with it its culture but departed too soon! ★ An English Doctor of Divinity, who is at present writing a book on UFOs and on the many aspects of the phenomenon, states "when you come near UFOs, you very nearly come near everything!" It would seem that many people are coming to similar conclusions. One such writer, scientist Otto O. Binder, in his book 'Flying Saucers Are Watching Us', says that science, history and the Bible will come to revolve around the U.F.O. 3 === Page 4 of 17 # ORTHODOXY VERSUS HETERODOXY **W. G. Manifold** Ufologists (horrible word!) are incensed that officialdom appears to suppress all knowledge of their pet subject. Understandably, they feel that there is a special effort directed against them: that it is the extra-terrestrial nature of their subject that brings out this antagonism or that there is an official conspiracy to keep this knowledge from the public because of its bearing on defence. The logical mind always tries to find a logical explanation, even for governmental action. It would be altogether too traumatic for civilised man to have to revert to primitive explanations such as good or evil spirits, and even worse to descend into the complete chaos of no reason at all. So, while I believe it is not really important whether officialdom believes in UFOs or not (unless they go so far as to prosecute or persecute Ufologists) I do feel that it is important to take a look at this whole question of orthodoxy versus heterodoxy. Humanity being what it is, medical matters must always have been of prime importance to our ancestors, but it has been only in historically recent times that orthodox medical circles accepted the two theories we now take to be so much their stock-in-trade as to seem practically self-evident: that of germs and that of circulation of the blood. But Lister had to fight for years against top-ranking surgeons who wore their dirty, blood-stained garments as status symbols, and Harvey similarly fought for years against the closed minds of his superiors. Both these men had formulated their ideas from direct observation which could be repeated, whereas entrenched authority clung desperately to its quite untenable errors. The establishment had climbed to power in spite of the gangrene in its hospitals and in spite of oceans of blood-letting, so the new doctrines would seem somewhat irrelevant. It would be too much to expect the leaders to admit past errors, even though these errors were merely gaps in their knowledge for which nobody could be blamed. It took 160 years for Harvey's theory of the circulation of the blood to gain acceptance, whereas one would suppose the matter could have been demonstrated even in his day within a couple of hours. To Medicine's credit, the modern heterodoxy Chiropractic has been much quicker to win converts. Numerous doctors readily accept it for the simple reason that it works, however contrary to orthodox theory, and it would seem that the two theories of dis-ease are rapidly reaching a stage of peaceful co-existence if not mutual acceptance. True science is based soundly on the observation of facts and, while there is plenty of (to page 6) 4 VIETNAM NAPALM A BOMBS U S A BLOODY RIOTS MISSILES ARAB JEWISH APARTHEID BIAFRA W.A. STAPLETON "IT WOULD BE FOLLY TO TRY TO CONTACT THESE BACKWARD AND PRIMITIVE BARBARIANS" === Page 5 of 17 ORTHODOXY VERSUS HETERODOXY (from page 4) room for error in isolating the correct cause-effect relationship in the first place, it is the scientist's job to design experiments to demonstrate the true fact in isolation. That is why medical theories are difficult to prove one way or the other. There are so many factors which it is hard or impossible to isolate without killing the patient, and this leads to a type of experiment which begs the real question entirely, such as the celebrated method of proving that headaches are due to aspirin deficiency... It is, of course, necessary to be sure that the living body, the reality, is preserved, while the hypothesis (even when dignified by the name of theory) is mercilessly dissected. Similarly, in Finance, it is possible to believe that interference of any kind is bound to be fatal owing to the number of interacting factors, but this again begs the question of what is the reality and what is the theory. Orthodoxy claims that the financial system works as it now is and that anyone who thinks it needs reform is a crank or a charlatan or both. When C. H. Douglas applied his engineer's mind to the matter 50 years ago, and produced his analysis of the Farnborough aircraft establishment's cost-accountancy, he too was ridiculed. Over the years orthodoxy has had to admit the truth of some of Douglas's discoveries but, in clinging to power, still manages to keep dark Douglas's proposals for making finance into mankind's servant rather than his master. The very great power of orthodox finance makes this particular struggle more one-sided than most ortho-hetero battles, but even so there are signs that orthodoxy, because of its failure to distribute the world's production, is on the retreat. It would seem particularly sad that, in refusing to accept Douglas's heterodoxy, finance will probably succumb to the complete antithesis put forward by Marx, with or without the help of his admirer Keynes. The present thesis, anyway, is borne out by the remark of one orthodox banker. "Events", he said, "seem to be in the pay of Douglas". Mathematics is not generally understood to contain more than one doctrine, but there is room for doubt even here. Dunne points out that greater reality is given to the expression 1/3 than to .33 recurring, though both are supposed to be exactly the same. It is not, perhaps, the fault of Mathematics but Dunne contends that, by using the serial form in relation to the dimension Time rather than the finite form, new vistas of knowledge are opened up. His Serial Time accounts neatly for extra-sensory perception, ghosts and immortality in a perfectly scientific manner, complete with experiment to prove it, albeit statistically. Orthodoxy refuses acknowledgement. The easily repeatable experiment is ignored. In Archaeology, similarly, de Perthes had to struggle for years to get recognition for his extraordinarily simple claim that human bones and artifacts which were found intermingled with prehistoric animal bones must have been contemporaneous with those artifacts and animal bones. Authority claimed that man just could not have been so ancient, and would not budge. As de Perthes wrote, "...They did not discuss my facts, they did not even take the trouble to deny them. They disregarded them". To be fair, the Establishment was really taking the proper attitude in this case. It is simply a matter of what constitutes a fact and what does not, and whereas all discoverers and inventors believe that they are dealing in facts, there is no doubt that some of them have been mistaken. Further, for reasons of their own, men sometimes do try to deceive their fellows. It may have seemed a long time to de Perthes, but in fact the archaeologists, as soon as they had repeated the same discoveries for themselves, accepted his claim and gave him full recognition. Amusingly enough, it was also proved that some of de Perthes' later diggings had been liberally 'salted' by his workmen! But archaeologists may well be superior characters, being continually confronted with facts which contradict previously held theories. When Cartailhac, the acknowledged authority, was finally convinced that the Altamira cave-paintings were genuine and not some sort of hoax, he published a complete apology to the discoverer, de Sautuola, and, since the latter was by then dead, made a ceremonial visit of apology to his daughter. His mistake, it would seem, was his slavish adherence to Darwinism. He simply could not admit to prehistoric man having been an artist when, 10,000 years ago, he was theoretically little different from an ape. But it has taken a long time for Archaeology to discover, by painstaking observation of facts, that Darwin's theory was altogether too simple: that over some periods and in certain respects mankind has actually degenerated. Again, possibly the most remarkable heterodoxy that has come to my notice concerns the diagnosis of human ailments. A device developed by one De La Warr in England produces a photograph of a patient's tumour or lesion or thrombosis or developing embryo or whatever it is 'tuned' for, from nothing more than a sample of his or her blood. The device has been demonstrated to all sorts of eminent scientists and doctors but they prefer to ignore it. I asked a well-known Australian retired doctor and Professor of human physiology if he had heard about the machine. "Oh yes!", he said, and told me that he had talked to some atomic scientists who had visited De La Warr from Harwell and who had seen the machine demonstrated. They told my friend that it was all perfectly genuine and that it did what the inventor claimed, but it was right outside their orthodox scientific knowledge so it was nothing to do with them. Further, they did not approve of the fact that De La Warr (who had no other income) was actually selling his machines. Such commercialism put him right outside the scientific pale! Yet Science, to the non-scientific anyway, is the modern religion. There is nothing it does not know, nothing it cannot explain. The faith in which it is held by politicians and journalists and even by ministers of older religions is quite frightening, but the indeterminate areas are strictly off-limits to them. The continuing battle between Newton's corpuscular and Huyghens' wave theories of light and so on are tactfully kept in the cupboard, and the extraordinary hiatus in scientific knowledge when it comes to gravity is given the silent treatment. It is not, perhaps, appreciated even by many Ufologists that Science regards gravity in much the same way as the ancient Greek civilisation regarded what we call electricity. To them, it was a property of some substances, notably amber, of attracting small particles to themselves after they had been rubbed. Their name for amber, elektra, thus became their only contribution to that vast field of knowledge which lay in hiding behind that insignificant little quirk of nature. Today, Science is as completely in the dark about the mechanism of gravity as those Greeks were about the mechanism of their rubbed amber. And while our scientists can calculate to an un-dreamed-of accuracy the amount of attraction between a spacevehicle and the moon (as the Greeks might have calculated the attraction between those tiny particles and the amber), they still have not the faintest idea how it works. It is, perhaps, this very knowledge of their own lack of knowledge which turns some people sour at the thought that others, possibly not even humanoid others, might have discovered the mechanism first and be using it to their own advantage just as we use electricity. But it was not my purpose to digress into Ufology itself other than as just one other example of anti-heterodox attitudes, and in this respect it would seem that the attitude of authority to UFOs has been certainly no more anti than one might expect from the earlier examples. In passing, however, it may be worth pointing out that Michael Faraday would probably never have discovered the relationship between magnetism and electricity if he had been confronted with a nuclear power station right from the word go. He had to come upon it in the simplest form, the current-carrying wire and the compass, whence the principle could be seen free of complexities. Thus while UFOs, by demonstrating the fact of gravity-control, should spur us on, our task really lies with the fundamentals of gravity, mainly within the laboratory. To conclude, then, what is so often taken for deliberate anti-heterodoxy is more often (to page 8) (to page 7) 6 7 === Page 6 of 17 ORTHODOXY VERSUS HETERODOXY (from page 7) than not either cautious good sense or sheer apathy, but there is still occasionally the deliberate attack. We should realise that until Lister's observations had been accepted microbes, if they existed, were nothing to do with medicine nor, similarly, was Harvey's idea about the circulation of the blood. Neither, not so long ago, did economists think that the issue of financial credit (if there was such a thing) was within their province, nor do physicists and mathematicians yet feel that it is their job to include dreams in theirs. Before we criticise these establishments too severely, we should learn their languages and respect their fields of activity. They have reached the tops of their respective professions because of rigid adherence to certain laws, and it would be naive of us to expect them to discard these now, particularly to bring in something they do not regard as their business anyway. Neither the Government nor Science nor the Air Force are likely to sort out the UFO problem for us. Like Faraday or Harvey or Lister or de Perthes or Douglas or Dunne we must make our observations, formulate our theory and perform experiments to prove it. Then, and then only, can we expect 'Ufology' to take its place amongst the sciences, thereby transforming them. As Leonardo Da Vinci stated: "Many will believe that they can with reason censure me, alleging that my proofs are contrary to the authority of certain men who are held in great reverence for their inexperienced (i.e. without experience) judgements, not taking into account that my conclusions were arrived at as a result of simple and plain experience, which is the true mistress". ★ **Bibliography:** Encyclopaedia Britannica "Economic Democracy" and "The Monopoly of Credit" C.H.Douglas.

(b) As the ions are in fact particles of matter they therefore also have mass (i.e. body or substance, they exist, they are physical particles of matter that have weight). Thus if they have mass, and subsequently weight, an amount of kinetic energy must be expanded to cause their acceleration out of the field of magnetism. Now, as Newton's law expounds, "For every action (force) there is an equal and opposite re-action (force)." Therefore, to put it simply, for each pound of force exerted by the field to thrust the charged ions away in one direction the same number of pounds of force will push (or tend to push) the magnetic field in the opposite direction. Hence, in summary, an ion engine is simply a device to charge particles (i.e., it has an ionisation chamber) and a magnetic field to thrust the ionised particles away from it, thereby exerting a force upon itself in the opposite direction just as a jet engine does when the expanding gases are forced to exhaust in one direction only. (to be concluded in the next edition.) ---------- BACK ISSUES OF THIS MAGAZINE ARE AVAILABLE # A CONSIDERATION OF THE "MEN IN BLACK" RUMOUR ## Allen H. Greenfield "He was working on his project On a dark and lonely night; How the lightning flashed and Thunder roared outside. His name was Al K. Bender And he was to have a fright From some visitors who In the dark did hide...". (from "The Three Men in Black" by Donny Barker, in Saucer News, Spring, 1970). Albert K. Bender was not the only person connected with the UFO phenomenon who allegedly had an experience with strange visitors. In fact, an overview of the history of modern UFO investigations might indicate a web of such incidents - or rumoured incidents - stretching back to the very earliest events of 1947. On pages 34-35 of The Coming of the Saucers by Kenneth Arnold and Ray Palmer (Amherst Press), one can read an account of a mysterious visitor appearing, as I understand it, at the time of the Maury Island mystery in 1947. In Flying Saucer Review's special "Beyond Condon" issue, pages 57-62, John A. Keel's article "The Cape May Incident" includes an account of a strange visitor who appeared in 1967. The term "men in black" may be somewhat narrower than the actual scope of the phenomenon being dealt with; actually, mysterious visitors may come in various sizes and forms of attire. The 'black' reference, though, is perhaps a very real one, both with reference to the mode of dress of some of these visitors, and to the dark complexions they may reportedly have. I have never, to my immediate knowledge, had an experience with anything so dramatic as three visitors coming to my door with eerie knowledge of the UFO mystery, telling me to cease research or face the consequences. But then, there was that lady that sat out in the front of my old office while I and another UFOlogist 'talked shop'; and then there were those two telephone calls.....but more about my own experiences later. Right now, I am going to briefly quote a segment from an article by Rick R. Hilberg, a gentleman I have personally known for a number of years. The following paragraph is extracted from Saucer News, Spring, 1970, page 48, from an article entitled "The Enigma": ".....I myself became involved with this sort of cloak and dagger mystery during the summer of 1965 when two men dressed as Cleveland police detectives visited my home to ask me questions about my saucer activities, allegedly on request of a potential UFO MAGAZINE subscriber in Florida. They stayed about a half-hour and asked questions which only an 'insider' to the saucer mystery would know. They also had a substantial knowledge of local as well as national UFO personalities.....". There is nothing unduly spectacular in the (to page 11) 9 === Page 7 of 17 WHAT'S THAT WEIRD NOISE? -SOUNDS LIKE MUSIC! IT'S PROBABLY RADIO FREQUENCY MODULATION OR PARASITIC OSCILLATIONS W. STAPLETON A CONSIDERATION OF THE "MEN IN BLACK" RUMOUR (from page 9) above incident. By the same token, there is nothing so incredible as to be unbelievable about it. Yet if this sort of thing does go on, we might do well to ponder the question of responsibility for such incidents. Who is doing it? The Government? If so, which government, and why? Is it the CIA? In an article appearing in the Volume 3, Number 2 issue of my own publication, Alternate Horizons Newsletter, published some time ago, Richard S. Hack stated: ".......... In a book entitled UFOs Over the Americas, Jim and Coral Lorenzen put forth the hypothesis that many of the incidents attributed to strange persons in black clothing were really efforts of the Central Intelligence Agency and/or sundry other intelligence groups to keep a security lid on the subject in the national interest. "My views parallel theirs in some respects, but differ in others. For instance, I believe that the authors make a good case for the existence of some sort of UFO interest by the CIA or some other national agency. There are several valid reasons for believing this. One is the fact that the CIA would presumably receive intelligence reports on the phenomena from the Air Force. Secondly, the Green Bay gentleman who inadvertently revealed that he had drawn up an intelligence estimate on the Lorenzens. Third, the OSI (Office of Special Investigations) dossier reputed to exist on the Lorenzens. Fourth, the intelligence report indicating close surveillance of the Lorenzens reportedly discovered by Dr. Olavo T. Fontes. Fifth, and finally, the Robertson Panel's comment to the effect that such organizations as APRO should be watched due to the possibility of their being subverted sometime in the future. "However, from here my views sharply diverge from those of the Lorenzens. The later incidents they reveal seem to me to indicate a third factor - the one we call the Men In Black. "For instance, they cite the case where deposits of angel hair were apparently deliberately destroyed by the supposedly 'accidental' dumping of fuel oil on the area. To me it seems unlikely that the CIA has enough personnel to maintain such a wide surveillance of individual investigators that within two days after a phone conversation with the Lorenzens concerning the incident, they were able to locate the investigator's angel hair site and arrange its destruction, simply to destroy 'hard evidence'. In other words, the effort expended seems disproportionate to the importance of the incident. "Again, would the CIA track down witnesses to simple sightings all over the world and illegally threaten and even kidnap them solely to prevent their stories from leaking out? I maintain that the normal intelligence procedures cited by the Lorenzens do not include such fantastic procedures as dressing up in black suits and running around trying to look like aliens! If the Air Force isn't doing it, why ascribe omniscience to the CIA? "Again, note that APRO admits that the Ohio Valley is crawling with such incidents, yet refuses to consider the possibility of a connection between this fact and the numerous phenomena uncovered by John Keel in this area. "And the most devastating indictment of this CIA scenario is the physical fact of Men In Black - men with uniform descriptions and apparel who, to say the least, have strange abilities, some which may be considered outside the range of even the CIA. When a UFO witness gets crank calls within scant hours after his sighting, and before he even tells anyone of the event, it is hard to suggest CIA involvement without postulating that the CIA has ears in every wall. "True, one may ask, 'Well, how can these MIB pull these things off, and why would they, if the same things are not rational when attributed to the CIA?' Sadly, I have no reply - except to say that at least the ring of truth, as it were, does not hang on the suggestion of such strange practices being the work of hidebound government bureaucrats - and that is what the CIA is run by, if the agents themselves are not.....". Perhaps one of the most damning points against the men-in-black-are-all-government-agents concept is similar to an argument against UFOs being simply 'secret weapons' of (to page 12) 11 === Page 8 of 17 A CONSIDERATION OF THE "MEN IN BLACK" RUMOUR (from page 11) quite earthly origin made on historical grounds: that UFOs have simply been around far, far too long for any conventional earthly government to be responsible. Men In Black-type cases may similarly be of extreme vintage, as indicated by my own research and discussed in the article "A Historical Perspective On The 'Men In Black' Legend", written by me and published in UFO Chronolog, 43 Richland Drive, Newport News, Virginia 23602, USA, January-February, 1970 issue, and also published in Quest UFO Report, 489 Krug Street, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, July-August, 1970 issue. The article suggests the possibility that Men In Black-type incidents may date back hundreds of years. In my booklet, Extracts From Alternate Horizons Newsletter, I describe an incident which took place 'at' my office, then located in a local shopping center in Atlanta, Georgia USA, where I reside. The incident was at the time of a skywatch in August, 1968, for which my office was serving as communications headquarters. At about 10.15 in the evening a strange call came in; a voice speaking in monotone apparently stated, ".....you will discontinue this project or reap the result(s)". The voice was accompanied by a strange background noise. At a later date, this time at my home, I received another unusual telephone call, this one consisting of strange sounds quite distinct from the background sounds of the earlier call, and not accompanied by any voice. It is quite possible that the former incident could be a hoax of some sort, while the latter might have a natural explanation related to telephone problems -- or it could have been another hoax. On the other hand, if the former was a hoax, it might well be considered a 'technically quite professional' one; this was not the voice of a giggling adolescent playing a momentary prank, though this hardly proves it was not a hoax. I titled this article "A Consideration of the 'Men In Black' Rumour". Perhaps this is the type of context that the rational UFOlogist should keep this problem in at the present; the Men In Black are a rumour connected with the UFO problem. There may be too much data associated with the rumour readily available to dismiss the matter lightly, but too little readily available to justify any unduly strong commitment to the concept that there are men in black. They may be, and they may not be. ★ THE FOLLOWING EXCERPT WAS TAKEN FROM SPACEFLIGHT VOLUME 12 NUMBER 8, AUGUST 1970, PAGE 327, FROM "PERSONAL PROFILE" BY J. GORDON VAETH, SPACE ENGINEER. Also at White Sands took place the UFO episode: Charlie Moore of General Mills Inc., contractor for our 9UJI balloon operation, and four enlisted personnel from the Proving Ground's Navy Unit had set up near Arrey, New Mexico, to observe local weather. At 10.20 on Sunday morning, 24th April, they released a pilot balloon to check the winds. Tracking equipment consisted of a ML-47 David White theodolite with 25-power scope. With the balloon at $210^{\circ}$ azimuth and $45^{\circ}$ elevation a whitish object was suddenly noticed at the approximate same bearing, moving east at $5^{\circ}$ of azimuth change per second. Visible to the naked eye and filling the field of the theodolite scope, it appeared to be an ellipsoid about 2 1/2 times longer than wide and gleaming white except light yellow on its underside at the tail. Moving from south-west around toward north-east, getting slightly smaller as it did, the object held constant at about $20^{\circ}$ azimuth, its elevation angle increasing from $25^{\circ}$ to $29^{\circ}$. At that point, it was lost to sight. The sky was cloudless. There was no vapour trail or exhaust. The object made no noise. I found Moore and the others pretty excited when I drove up to their site a couple of hours later. A detailed report was filed. The incident has never been satisfactorily explained. ********** For the above excerpt we thank Dr. Paul Zeck. Perth, W.A. ********** 12 # UFOS AND E.S.P. ## Otto O. Binder It is the opinion of a growing number of people that global natural disasters are not only on the increase but are breaking all other catastrophe records. They claim, furthermore, that these events coincide with an increasing number of UFOs in our skies. The following article was received in September 1970. Since that time a great tidal wave, which may turn out to be the greatest disaster in recorded history, has hit East Pakistan. The writer of this article, Otto O. Binder, is also the author of two UFO books entitled "What We Really Know About Flying Saucers" and "Flying Saucers Are Watching Us". In a note, which accompanied his article, Mr. Binder wrote: ".....As to the predicted 'UFO Wave', I've heard from UFOlogists and newsclip gatherers that there were many sightings so far in 1970, reported only in small-town papers, never in metropolitan dailies where the government policy of 'no saucers exist' holds sway. Maine definitely had a flap, and probably Kansas. "As for the 'disasters' prediction of Ted Owens, the Peru earthquake killing 50,000 was succeeded by a massive power-blackout in the middle Atlantic states 'greater than ever before' and the present-time raging prairie fires in California, the worst in history, burning out countless homes. Before the year is over, 1970 may well prove out Ted Owens' prophecy as one of the worst years for world-wide catastrophe." By the time you read this you will know that the summer (northern hemisphere) of 1970 saw the grandaddy of all UFO waves --- if the prediction of Ted Owens was right. Ted Owens claims to be the 'mouthpiece' of the UFO-people, who are in constant telepathic touch with him, revealing their secrets and plans. And Owens, as of 13th February 1970, predicted that a worldwide barrage of violence (storms, earthquakes, hurricanes, great blackouts and such) would be engineered by the UFOs to prove their powers to us. Along with that would come the most massive UFO wave in history and more landings than ever before. They would issue forth from the Bermuda Triangle and the Devil's Triangle in the Pacific Ocean, near Japan (as in my recent SAGA article). From all indications, there might have been a giant UFO wave in 1970 but the Saucer Barrier of censorship kept it effectively smothered. Ted Owens cannot be blamed for that, nor his prediction denied. As for natural disasters these, including the Peru earthquake, did rumble through 1970. Regardless of the saucer-riding contactees, this matter of ESP contact with the saucermen is rapidly gaining ground. I personally have corresponded with (and met) a lady who, though I am unable to identify her here, has in the past few years typed reams of messages from UFOs -- messages which contain scientific terms and concepts that seem entirely beyond her capacity. (to page 16) 13 === Page 9 of 17 # WAS IT A FLYING SAUCER? From a special representative TAMWORTH, Sat.--A mysterious saucer-like hole--scorched in the earth--has been discovered in a remote paddock, about seven miles east of Boggabri. Many local residents fear the large hole has been made by a flying saucer. They claim the hole is similar to others in south NSW and parts of Victoria where UFOs have been allegedly landed. Already, officers from the Unidentified Flying Objects' Centre and Agricultural Department officials have visited the Boggabri site. All say they are mystified about the indentation. The hole was discovered in a paddock on Mr. Willoughby Erratt's property. The hole is 6 ft. in diameter and about 6 inches deep with a large hole in the centre. One nearby resident said the centre hole was the size of a small plate, but it was about 18 inches deep. There are seven more smaller holes around the edge of the main indentation. Residents claim the seven other holes looked as though they could have been made by the legs of a flying saucer. One of the strangest things was a fine white powdery substance at the base of the hole. They believe this could be a burn mark from a rocket blast. A senior officer of the Soil Conservation Office said the land disturbance was "a very strange phenomenon." "SUNDAY TIMES" Perth, W.A. 22/11/70 # Someone up there spies me PERTH. -- "I don't believe in little green men," the camp supervisor at a copper mine, Mr T. Murphy, said today. But Mr Murphy and the miners are convinced that something, perhaps from outer space, is watching them work. The miners work the remote Thaduna open-cut mine, 500 miles north-east of Perth. The nearest town is Meekatharra, 120 miles to the south-east. "HERALD" Melbourne, Vic. 8/12/70 Mr Murphy said today that an oval-shaped "thing," colored white and orange, hovered over the mine for two hours yesterday. "It gave off a loud hissing noise," Mr Murphy said. "It was first sighted by nightshift workers about 3.30 a.m. "They woke their workmates and we all watched it up there in the sky till about 5.30 a.m. "Then it moved off slowly, passing over the north end of the cut to the south end. "It just hovered there." The sighting is one of several reported to the Department of Civil Aviation in Meekatharra in the past few weeks. The last sighting was at Errabiddy station, about 120 miles west of Meekatharra. Stockmen described it as orange and oval-shaped. # "TELEGRAPH" Brisbane, Q'land 18/12/70 # STRANGE FLASH IN SKY REPORTS A mysterious explosion in the air was reported at Indooroopilly last night Mr. R. F. Allen, resident janitor of the Indooroopilly State High School, said the explosion was accompanied by a vivid white light and was violent enough to shake his house and wake his wife. "It happened at 11.17 p.m. I was awake and looking out my front window," he said. "The explosion was preceded by a whine, increasing in volume, similar to a jet or a descending shell. But it was not an aircraft. # VIVID WHITE "I was an Army engineer during the war and saw plenty of planes go up. A plane exploding is orange colored because of the fuel and is accompanied by falling debris," he said. "This was a vivid white and I saw nothing fall," he said. "The explosion appeared to be about 1000 feet up. "It was about a 40 degree angle to my line of sight as I faced towards the suburbs of Graceville, Sherwood and Gailes." The sound of the explosion also was reported by a St. Lucia housewife. DCA and Weather Bureau officials today said they had heard no reports of the explosion. # Navy coming -- UFO at St Helens A ST HELENS man who saw an unidentified flying object late last month will be interviewed by a Navy Department official. Mr M. G. Beven said he was told by police on Monday night "that someone from the Navy Department was going to come up and interview me." He said he was not sure when the interview would take place. On October 28, Mr and Mrs Beven and their neighbours in Bowen St, St Helens, Mr and Mrs J. Riley, watched a cigar-shaped object moving across the sky. "It was about 6.06 pm when I first saw it and I watched it for about eight minutes," Mr Beven said. The object was travelling towards the north-east when he first saw it and then it turned around and moved from Eddystone Pt south along the coast towards St Marys. "It was at a tremendous height -- about 50,000ft." When he looked at the object through a pair of cheap field glasses he said he could make out the colours of red, white, and blue. "It had small fins and could have been a rocket, but it was travelling too slow." The object moved slower than a jet, made no noise, but left a long white vapour trail. Mr Stan Glatty, of Binalong Bay, also saw the UFO and made a report to police. "Mr Glatty said he saw the object come up out of the sea," Mr Beven said. "MERCURY" Hobart, Tas. 11/11/70 # 'FLYING SAUCERS' SEEN THROUGHOUT RIVERINA Unidentified flying objects have taken the Riverina by storm, according to numerous reports by residents in the past two weeks. More than seven reports of sightings of unidentified objects have been made by people over a wide area. One woman, Mrs. Shirley Ryall, of Barmedman, was quite adamant that an object which "looked like a spaceship" landed in a paddock about a mile from her home last week. Mrs. Ryall and her brother, Mr. Bevan Adams, said they sighted a strange light in the sky near Yiddah at about 8.45 p.m. "It was lower than a star and it was moving," Mrs. Ryall said. # Bright "There was a bright yellow light and it appeared to have a tail. "The tail was a smaller light that occasionally disappeared. "This strange light seemed to follow us and it was still in the sky when we saw the "spaceship" about a mile from home. "When we reached the top of a hill in our car we noticed the object in one of our paddocks, near the roadway. "There was light emitting from several small windows in the spaceship and it had antennas on top. "It was shaped like a football but there didn't appear to be any landing gear underneath. "I did not stop the car. I was too scared and kept on driving. # Griffith "The object later flew over the top of our house and in the direction of Griffith," Mrs. Ryall said. Mrs. Ryall said she was surprised her friends believed her when she told them what she had seen. "They didn't think I was mad and I'm sure anyone would believe it if they saw it too," she said. On the same night September 8, a Leeton woman, Mrs. Fay Bulgaries, said she also saw an object which looked like a spaceship. # Floating Mrs. Bulgaries said she saw the object floating in the area about 500ft above her home at 7 p.m. An 18-year-old Narrandera railway employee spent about 10 minutes on Wednesday night watching an object in the sky. The youth, Mr. Kevin McClure, said the object was about 150 feet to 200 feet above the ground and that it changed colour from orange to red and also emitted a blue light. Also on Wednesday night a Yanco couple, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Tremellen, said they saw an unidentified object in the sky shortly after 9.40 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Tremellen said they had seen a bright light to the west of their home and as it descended it changed colour quickly, turning blue, green, red and white. Late last week Mr. David Whybrow, of Junee, and Miss Nola Kelleher, of Harden, both saw an unidentified flying object in the sky near Junee. They said the moving light appeared to change colours. Five residents of the Nubba district also reported similar sightings. Two of the residents, Mr. John Chapman of Murrumburrah, and Miss Alison Taylor, both saw an object which appeared to "meet with another object." They could not identify the objects. A vice-president of the U.F.O. Investigations Organisation of N.S.W., Mr. T. V. Homan, of Glebe, said the organisation was interested to hear of the Riverina sightings and would send some people questionnaires. "On the whole it has been very quiet lately and there have been no sightings for several months," Mr. Homan said. "When we get the reports back we will attempt to evaluate them and see if there is anything at the bottom of the sightings." # Sceptics Mr. Homan, an essential oil distiller said there had been numerous sightings throughout N.S.W. reported to the organisation in past years. "Sometimes many of the sightings are eliminated after investigation but we think there is something at the bottom of all these sightings. "People have claimed actual contact but we regard them as extreme sceptics," Mr. Homan said. "ADVERTISER" Wagga, N.S.W. 18/9/70 === Page 10 of 17 UFOs AND E.S.P. (from page 13) And it is significant, if you go back over old UFO reports, how many witnesses said they "heard words" in their minds from hovering UFOs or from occupants stepping out of landed craft. It is one of those too-many-times-repeated phenomena that have the ring of truth. The lady previously mentioned has been receiving repeated warnings of some world-wide series of disasters to come (no date given) which will wipe out current civilization - because it is going downhill morally and decaying - and force mankind to make a new start. This is not unlike the messages and predictions received by other 'sensitives', even famed ones known nationally. There almost seems to be a concensus among prognosticators that some major catastrophe lies ahead for Earth, before the year 2000. In fact, the implication is there (sometimes stated flatly) that the reason UFOs have appeared in massive numbers around our world for twenty-three-odd years is because this world calamity will occur. Whether they are here merely as observers, or as actual instigators, or as rescuers, is anybody's guess. At least the whole theory hangs together, ominously. To add to the ESP factor - for years, while my newspaper feature OUR SPACE AGE ran, I received many letters mentioning such 'mental contacts' with saucermen. Another woman, in New Jersey, described three separate sightings in which "soothing messages" flowed into her mind. It is hard to believe that all those people simply have a superb imagination - they are often simple people who have little imagination about anything. Their experience always comes unexpectedly, shockingly, without any warning. Hardly the sign of a neurotic who has been 'hearing voices' all his life. If the world was gripped by disasters, plus flocks of UFO sightings and landings galore in 1970, then Ted Owens will be vindicated and the case for UFO-E.S.P. will be wrapped up ---except, of course, for the professional disbelievers of The Establishment. But even they will have to wonder! ★ 16 # BOOK REVIEW Written by Peter Kolosimo, NOT OF THIS WORLD is selling in Melbourne at $4.90. I found this a 'meaty' book mainly because of the very nature of its subject matter - the historical aspect of UFOs and the visits to this planet in the past (and the present) by beings from other worlds. The theme of the text is similar to that of Erich von Daniken's books - that the orthodox or traditional ideas on evolution are out of date and cosmic evolution is in, suggesting that we are the descendants of extra-terrestrial beings. Because of the wealth of absorbing material contained in this book I advise readers to digest a chapter at a time rather than try to read the whole book quickly. (May I suggest that keeping a special notebook is a handy aid to summarizing the more important points in each chapter and thereby facilitating the retention of facts as well as providing a use-ful future reference to the contents of the book. These reference notebooks might also be prepared on all your UFO literature.) Unfortunately this book does not contain an index or bibliography which, to me, are essential in a work of this type. The book is obviously well researched and the author well-read and knowledgeable which makes these omissions the more lamentable. The contents, covering a wide variety of topics, are divided into two sections. The first section deals with ancient manuscripts, relics and legends about 'other beings'. It makes one want to read the author's earlier book 'The Timeless Earth'. The second section concerns itself with ancient civilizations and their possible founding and destruction. NOT OF THIS WORLD contains 33 interesting illustrations which add to the quality of the book and to its better understanding. ★ Michael McNamara # "AVIATORS" OF ANTIQUITY Reprinted from CANADIAN UFO REPORT, BOX 758, DUNCAN, B.C., CANADA. (Vol.1. No.8.) by special permission of John Magor, editor. An absorbing aspect of ufology is the study of evidence suggesting that advanced beings from space may have landed on earth in ancient times beyond record and had a part in the growth of our civilization. Possibly, in fact, they shared in our evolution. Consider these words in Genesis V1-1: "...the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took to wife such of them as they chose." Reference to the "sons of God" is frequent in the Bible yet there is no real certainty as to exactly who they were. In his book 'Flying Saucers Are Watching Us' Otto Binder suggests this: "remember that all theologians do not agree that the words God, Jehovah, Elohim and such necessarily all meant the God. It is open to question whether in many cases a nondivine being was meant, a messenger from the sky. Reinterpreting the Bible freely, and more logically, the Adam and Eve story might really be a garbled account of how men in flying saucers landed on earth and intermarried with earthly women of some pre-historic type. Or even more likely, with a sub-human species more than a million years ago." While it is hard to believe that beings so mature would have any taste for ape-like females, it is possible they used artificial insemination as part of some plan to colonize our embryonic planet with an intelligent species. Then perhaps returning long afterward as what were thought to be "sons of God", they were pleased with what they had wrought and took unto themselves wives. It is theorizing of this sort that sends orthodox scholars groping for the nearest wall but these same scholars are often notably lacking in answers of their own. Here, for instance, are significantly unanswered questions concerning the biological development of man listed by Max H. Flindt in his studious work 'On Tiptoe Beyond Darwin': A. Why did the race of Aurignacian Man (circa 30,000 B.C.) according to his fossil bones, have a brain case 100 cubic centimeters bigger than that of modern man with 1,300 cc capacity? Where did this huge brain case, three times that of a gorilla, come from? And was this large-brained sub-man one of our immediate ancestors, through some unknown bio-genetic program of interbreeding with men of space? B. Why is a man's brain weight more than triple that of other animals, in proportion to body weight, with a thinking capacity ten times greater than any species of the primates? C. Why did man alone, out of hundreds of rival mammalian species, develop this tremendous brain power? (Recent studies of the mental behaviour of dolphins indicate man may not have been alone. Possibly space visitors also carried out their experiment on aquatic life where diversity was infinitely greater - Ed.) All other creatures had just as many millions of years to evolve their (to page 18) 17 === Page 11 of 17 "AVIATORS" OF ANTIQUITY (from page 17) D. Why is it that the fertilized ovum of the human female buries itself in the uterus wall, something that happens with no other creature on earth? E. Why does man, unlike all other animals in nature, come in a wide variety of skin colors, statures, cranial shapes, color of head hair, and facial features? Why does man in that sense resemble domesticated dogs, cats and cattle, who have been bred by us - much as we may have been bred - into a great variety of types? As Binder remarks: "None of these riddles is fully explained by the theory of evolution. Max Flindt quotes from Sir Arthur Keith, the great anthropologist, who states that 'thirty percent of man's structural details (of his body) are peculiar to man himself and not shared with any other of the primates.'" While the theory of 'manipulated' evolution seems to answer such riddles, there is danger of over-simplification if we follow this line of thought without considering other riddles in man's development. To judge from the discovery of miraculously contrived artifacts far older than the most primitive kind of relics, man's growth has been a history of interruptions. There must have been periods of tremendous accomplishment followed by others of near extinction. This view has been notably developed in the prodigious studies of scientist and historian Immanuel Velikovsky, and in issue no.2 we listed some of the remarkable relics tending to support it. But with the exception of the ancient Piri Reis maps showing areas of the world thought to be unknown to earthbound explorers, these particular examples gave no evidence that their creators were masters of flight - though some of the building feats suggested the use of flying craft. (A friend of ours who recently questioned Velikovsky on the subject found that, understandably because of his preoccupation with other avenues of his immense study, he had not concerned himself with the possibility of manned flight in ancient times. Thus he has not paid particular attention to the controversy over UFOs. Interestingly, however, Velikovsky makes this statement in his 'Ages in Chaos': "With colorful imagination 'Kebra Nagast' recounts the bridal night of Solomon and the Queen of the South; among the presents he gave her there were 'a vessel wherein one could travel over the sea and a vessel where one could travel by air.'") So now let's look at another centuries-old creation of skillful design where the involvement of flight seems unmistakable. In fact, more than anything it resembles a set of navigation aids for aviators arriving from great altitudes. The scene is the unbelievably dry coastal desert about 250 miles south of Lima, capital of Peru. There, between the Ica and Nazca valleys, are vast tracings on the pebbly surface that obviously have a connection with astronomy as well as being symbols of an unknown culture. Mystifying as the tracings are for their design alone, the real puzzle is that their outline becomes apparent only when seen from the air. While for countless years travelers must have trudged right through them, they were hardly noticed until a commercial airline was established in the region. Passengers and crewmen observed a bewildering maze of designs covering the mesa-like uplands, and soon the tracings became a scientific curiosity. The manner in which they were etched on the desert was simply explained. The originators had removed a thin layer of weather-darkened pebbles where they wished to show the outlines and piled these along the border of the exposed subsurface. The result was yellowish inner strips bounded by dark edges which were immediately noticeable when viewed from a height. But how these early-day 'sidewalk' artists completed their enormous patterns if they had no help above ground level is so far unexplained. Now known simply as the Nazca Lines, the tracings in some cases represent huge men with arms aloft and bird-like creatures or insects. In other cases the drawings are geometric, with lines running parallel for miles or fashioned as triangles that seem to have a directional purpose. Some of the lines appear to go straight into the (to page 20) 18 ********** Desert tracings like these are unexplained. ********** === Page 12 of 17 "AVIATORS" OF ANTIQUITY (from page 18) bases of mountains and come out again on the other side, at the same level and in complete alignment. Still more mystifying is how several of the lines were given a precise astronomical bearing. First scientist to discover this remarkable fact was U.S. anthropologist Paul Kosok who went to Peru in 1940 to study the development of remote "irrigation societies". Having heard of the lines and thinking they might throw light on his subject, he went to investigate. Like others before him, he failed at first to see any meaning in the designs. Then one evening on a second visit a year later Kosok and his wife were studying a series of lines at the top of a mesa when they were surprised to notice that the setting sun touched the horizon precisely over one of them. Immediately they recalled the date was June 22, the day of the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere. Surely this was a solstice line! From that chance beginning Kosok came to conclude that the markings were nothing less than the "Largest Astronomy Book in the World". Other commitments obliged him to leave the region before his work there was finished but in Lima he had the good luck to meet a German-born scientist, Dr. Maria Reiche, who was trained in both mathematics and astronomy. Instantly captivated by what Kosok told her about the lines, Dr. Reiche became something of a miracle in her own right. Going to see the tracings for herself, she has never departed. Today she lives in a simple abode hut near the desert and spends her days charting and measuring the lines and comparing them with the positions of the stars and planets at different times of the year. While Dr. Reiche, as far as we know, never assumed that space beings had a part in the history of the tracings, she did at one time admit by her own actions that height was needed to study the lines properly. This occurred when, to photograph the maze of drawings, she had herself strapped to the outside of an airplane so she would have an unobstructed bird's-eye view of all the configurations. Speculation about why the drawings were ever put there usually proceeds from the premise that they were an aid to early inhabitants in forecasting seasons favorable to crops, with some religious connotation possibly included. Since no rain ever falls on those particular plains - which explains why the lines have not been erased - the people who would benefit were presumably those who lived in the valleys where irrigation was possible. While this reasoning is probably correct to some degree, it fails to account for the seemingly endless complexity of the drawings. Although she is making a life-study of the mystery, Dr. Reiche still has not exhausted its astronomical possibilities. How simple farmers, even with the help of their more knowledgeable high priests could fare any better - to say nothing of creating the diagrams in the first place - remains completely unexplained. So here again we run into the stiff academic attitude that if anything scientifically unacceptable, such as UFOs, must be introduced to solve a mystery, it is better to let the mystery remain. If the Nazca lines were strictly a local feature, without anything similar elsewhere, it might be stretching the case a bit to suggest ufoperators found this particular spot for their navigational aids. But these strange drawings are not an isolated instance of their kind, though they are certainly the most complex. In the Zana and Lambayesque valleys of northern Peru there are "roads" similar to those in Nazca, while other drawings that take on form only when viewed from the air are located just outside Lima and in northern Chile. A 602-foot-high candelabra-like figure is carved into a cliff above the Pacific near Pisco, also in Peru. It points exactly north and south. In the midwest U.S. there are unexplained mounds that are more apparent seen from above than on the ground, and there are giant pictographs on the sun-parched mesas of California. One hundred miles upstream from them, on the Colorado, is a mysterious rock "maze" consisting of many acres of ground covered with a patchwork of parallel roads of small stones, scraped together in small ridges. This is (to page 21) 20 "AVIATORS" OF ANTIQUITY (from page 20) called the 'Mojave Maze' but the Mojave deny having built it, nor do they know who did. The confusion of designs and forms suggests these puzzling relics of a time before recorded history had more than a single purpose. If we are bold enough to assume they were created by a civilization in space, we might also assume the creatures depicted are symbols of another world where such creatures exist. Perhaps they have a religious intent or perhaps they serve the more earthy purpose of identifying the region in which they are located, much as we identify our airfields by particular radio signals. Going a step further with the idea of a relationship with space beings, we can wonder if the drawings so like direction signs on the changeless sands of South America have some connection with the UFO power-grid theorized by Captain Bruce Cathie of New Zealand and mentioned later in this issue. Could these signs be used to take bearings on important sectors of the grid? To orthodox scholars this may seem to be heaping wild guess on wild guess but at least it suggests a purpose that is so far utterly lacking. There are two other pieces of evidence that may not fit into this particular puzzle but are so similar in format they might have been cut with the same jigsaw. One is this item from an article in 'Astroview' by Joseph F. Goodavage on lost continents and civilizations. "Now, however, we have a newer, even more mysterious discovery (Goodavage had been discussing five miles of enormous submarine stairs off the northern coast of Puerto Rico) - the remnants of an ancient 'Atlantis' in the depths of the Pacific off the coast of Peru. These rock columns jut from the silt of the ocean's bed in the middle of a zone of submarine earthquakes and belching volcanoes that encircles the entire Pacific. "Dr. Robert Menzies, director of ocean research at the Duke University Marine Laboratory, recently lowered his cameras from the research ship 'Anton Brunn' beneath a few thousand fathoms of water to within a few feet of the bottom and switched on his lights... Dr. Menzies' cameras accidentally photographed unnatural rock columns, several of them with engraving in some totally alien-seeming language. 'Was this some new Atlantis or Lemuria? There are no islands nearby from which they could recently have fallen; experts who studied the pictures believe they predate the ancient Inca civilizations by centuries - perhaps millennia! It happens that the people of ancient Peru had one of the most magnificent civilizations on earth when Europe was still in the Dark Ages. In addition to their well-known temples and pyramids, they also built what we call macadamized highways several miles long and suspension bridges! The other bit of evidence that may help explain the strange desert patterns in Peru is contained in an article in 'Esquire' on mod movie director Dennis Hopper, of all unlikely people, who made a hit with 'Easy Rider'. Describing an interview with Hopper on location for shooting a movie in Peru, the article said: "Beside him is the beautiful Pilar, staring moodily out at the dirt road, at brown Indians on muddy hillsides herding testy foolish-looking llamas, at the occasional brown cluster of roadside huts, and at the highest Andes jutting too abruptly and independently back-lot peaks painted on expertly stretched canvas. " 'Dig those mountains, man. Far out. The Indians have seen flying saucers land up there.' " This will not come as news to ufologists. The Andes, and in fact most of South America, are known by them to have a special attraction for our visitors from space. But the point is lost on orthodox scholars who try vainly to identify the ancient civilizations of that continent while ignoring our "ancestors" from other worlds. In varying degrees of size and feature, UFO occupants have been observed to resemble ourselves. If there were not some relationship, the odds against this being so would be beyond calculation. So out in space, it would seem, is the connecting link between us and the great cultures lost in upheavals researched so carefully by Velikovsky. Evidently we have (to page 26) 21 === Page 13 of 17 # THE EXPLORATION OF SPACE ## AND THE POSSIBILITY OF LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS **P. G. Gittins** **(continued)** Part 3. What are the possibilities of life on other planets? Before attempting to answer this question, it may be as well to define the term 'life'. By 'life' we mean a living organism, and to define this I quote from the Encyclopaedia Britannica:- "The necessary and sufficient condition for an object to be recognisable as a living organism, and so to be the subject of biological investigation, is that it be a discrete mass of matter, with a definite boundary, undergoing continual interchange of material with its surroundings without manifest alteration of properties over short periods of time and, as ascertained either by direct observation or by analogy with other objects of the same class, originating by some process of division or fractionation from one or two pre-existing objects of the same kind. The criterion of continual interchange of material may be termed the metabolic criterion, that of origin from a pre-existing object of the same class, the reproductive criterion." Living things have the same characteristics:- (a) Growth. (b) Reproduction. (c) Food requirements. (d) Respiration. (e) Metabolism - the sum total of all the chemical processes in a living thing. (f) Sensitivity - stimulus and response to touch. light heat electricity atmospheric conditions. (g) Adaption. Having thus defined our terms, let us proceed. A quick look at the other planets of our solar system seems to reveal a poor prospect for life. Mercury and Venus appear too hot, Mars has almost no air, Jupiter and Saturn seem to be swathed in ammonia and methane. But can life exist on Earth? A Martian astronomer, for example, would see a planet surrounded by a deadly gas, oxygen. It is well known that this very reactive element readily combines with almost anything, including the unstable compounds of hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen, out of which living organisms are built. All signs of life on Earth must surely be quickly oxidised to dust and ashes. (Only Earthmen know the remarkable methods developed by our bodies for coping with oxygen so that it does not burn us up.) Martian satellites despatched to photograph the surface from a couple of hundred miles up (as the Tiros and Nimbus weather satellites have done) would reveal no conclusive signs of life. THE EXPLORATION OF SPACE (from page 22) The biggest stir might have been caused by the observation that the Earth has suddenly become a powerful source of radio waves, a million times 'brighter' on medium wave lengths than Venus or Mercury. But how would they interpret it? Without domestic broadcasting of their own (and we haven't detected any) they might conclude that some unprecedented natural catastrophe was in progress. Arguments then, from one's own planetary experience, are thus tricky. All this leads to the question: How can man determine if other forms of life exist in the Universe? At his present stage of knowledge and technological development, man has four methods available to him. Let us consider each one in turn:- (i) Statistical Arguments: There are an estimated 150,000 million stars in our galaxy alone, a considerable proportion of which are similar to our Sun. There is no reason to believe our star unique. It is highly probable that there are thousands of millions of planetary systems similar to ours in our galaxy alone. On the basis of mathematical chances alone, some of these planets must be hospitable to life. According to Sagan of Harvard University and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, and the Russian Academician Josef Shklovskii of the Sternberg Astronomical Institute, our Galaxy may contain at least 1,000 million habitable planets. The nearest promising stars, they say, are Epsilon Eridani, Epsilon Indi and Tau Ceti. These are 10.3, 11.3 and 12.2 light years away respectively - in other words, a spacecraft travelling near the speed of light would take over a decade to reach any one of them. The next question is how many of these myriad, if hypothetical planets are likely to contain life? And how many might contain 'advanced technical civilisations'? In recent years a number of researchers have been releasing electric sparks, - miniature bolts of lightning - through mixtures of gases and vapours (water, ammonia, hydrogen, methane) which are thought to represent primitive planetary atmospheres. They have been gratified to discover in the resulting mixtures a huge variety of complex organic substances like sugar, amino-acids, urea and others associated with life. The next step is to arrange for a complex molecule to reproduce itself. This too, has been done in a test tube, producing a simple form of nucleic acid, the genetic material which controls heredity. But there is a slight embarrassment: the reaction only works in the presence of an enzyme derived from a living organism. The enzyme is a protein - yet the synthesis of proteins is controlled by nucleic acids. If it needs a protein to make a nucleic acid and it needs a nucleic acid to make a protein, then the prospect of life in the primitive planetary soup would be poor. We must assume therefore, that some nucleic acids are formed 'spontaneously'. From then on, one can imagine a gradual evolution, steered by natural selection, of evermore complex aggregates of molecules, leading eventually to cells and multicellular organisms. Thus, in principle, life on Earth-like planets may be the rule rather than the exception. In practice we cannot do much more than guess. However, there is circumstantial evidence of biological processes on Mars: the 'waves of darkening' in spring and summer near the receding ice-caps, spectroscopic evidence that dark areas include organic molecules; and the curious fact that the red deserts appear to consist of an iron-rich compound containing much water and oxygen, normally found in the soils of hot, humid regions. Perhaps Mars was lushly tropical in the distant past? Within five years there may be some more direct evidence. Capsules are to be deposited on Mars from space probes. One of their prime tasks will be to detect any signs of life. Venus is covered in clouds and the nature of its surface is thus speculative. Sagan suggests it is "very like hell" with rocks glowing dull red in fierce heat trapped by the 22 (to page 23) 23 (to page 24) === Page 14 of 17 THE EXPLORATION OF SPACE (from page 23) clouds above. The recent Russian space probe seems to confirm this. Other theories propose an oily smog-like atmosphere or oceans of soda water. Up in the clouds it would be cold - suitable possibly, for the evolution of aerial organisms of some kind. Jupiter appears to have a primitive planetary atmosphere full of hydrogen, methane, ammonia, water and possibly frequent bolts of lightning - a promising scene indeed for some 'pre-biology' or for bizarre biological surprises. The other planets look poor life prospects in terms of Earth-type life. Nevertheless, as a planetary system, we have at least one planet with life (Earth), one which quite possibly has life forms now and may have had more in the past (Mars), plus two possibly 'pre-biological' planets (Jupiter and Venus). Thus, if the galaxy contains 1,000 million potentially 'habitable' planets, the total actually inhabited by SOMETHING could be very large indeed. (ii) By the study of meteorites: Here I should like to quote two actual examples of research:- (a) On 11th April 1925, a bright meteorite was seen above Southern Sweden, and a limestone ball landed near the small township of Bleckenstad, exploding on contact with the ground. The fall was observed by a number of witnesses and some fragments were subsequently collected by the assistant of Professor Assar Hadding of Lund University. Various circumstantial and none too convincing criticisms have been made of Hadding's identification - to disprove his claim that the limestone was of meteoric origin. This is, perhaps, not surprising, as it contained fragments of marine shells and of an animal resembling a tribolite. The limestone, however, was of a composition that does NOT occur in Sweden. (b) A few years ago whilst working with one such lump that landed in Orgueil, France, in May 1864, three chemists (Professor Bartholomew Nagy and Douglas J. Hennessy of Fordham and Dr. Warren G. Meinschein of the Esso Research & Engineering Company) found certain organic substances in the meteorite's core. 'Biotic' forms were found - materials representing life already emergent, formed and functioning. These 'biotic' materials were in the form of waxy or paraffinic hydrogen and carbon atoms similar to the arrangements found in Earth life such as the skin of apples. The process by which these hydrocarbons end up in the rock is suggestive of how coal is formed on Earth. Organic life (plant life) grows, dies, decomposes, becomes mixed with sediment and is eventually transformed into rocks. Like all important new discoveries, the findings raised some scepticism and yet more questions. One question in particular, of course, was: "Where did it come from?". In February 1967, a press report appeared in the Melbourne "Sun" claiming that a Dr. Johnson of Berkeley, California, U.S.A., had found traces of chlorophyll - the green colouring found in grass and plants - in clouds of dust drifting in outer space. This is the substance which is vital to life on Earth, and from which many scientists believe life first came. Dr. Johnson said: "The significance of my findings, if correct, is not only that a case for life chemistry in space can be inferred, but that the end product can be looked upon as a form of life similar to that on Earth. If this chlorophyll reached the surface of a planet, it could produce, in combination with other factors, at least a simple plant form. Commenting on this news item, Professor Alberto Mancinelli of Columbia University said: "I would say that if Dr. Johnson's claims are correct, he has discovered life in outer space." (iii) Listening for radio signals: Our own technical civilisation has existed for a very short time indeed on the cosmic time scale. Thus, if we are not unique, there should be many technical civilisations which are much older - unless it turns out to be a (to page 25) 24 THE EXPLORATION OF SPACE (from page 24) universal property of technical civilisations that they destroy themselves early in life - perhaps with immature tampering with atomic energy. But suppose they survive and flourish and are disposed to direct their skills and resources to cosmic exploration. Interstellar communication, let alone interstellar travel, sounds a desperately laborious business. Suppose that Epsilon Eridani boasts a civilised planet interested in communicating with us. Assume too, that the technical difficulties (which are formidable) are overcome. It would take ten years for a message to travel to Earth and another ten for us to answer back. To get some sense into the exchange would pre-suppose a mutually comprehensible code. An American radio-astronomer, Frank Drake, in 1965 fabricated an 'interstellar message' of over 550 dots and dashes, and asked distinguished scientists to decode it. They had very moderate success, although they knew the decoded result would be pictorial and that the code derived from a human mind (i.e. Drake's). It was Drake who ran 'Project Ozma' which monitored Epsilon Eridani and Tau Ceti for 200 hours in 1960, with a sensitive receiver attached to a big radio telescope - but with no result. Then on 13th April 1965, a report from the Russian News Agency, Tass, was published in London. It stated that a theory was held that intelligent beings were beaming radio waves to Earth. The source of the emission, known as CTA-102, was discovered in 1960 by two American astronomers. The basis for the Russian theory was the discovery by Gennady Scholomitsky, a Soviet astronomer, who claimed emissions from CTA-102 followed a regular flickering pattern repeated every 100 days. He said this suggested an intelligence responsible, rather than an 'accidental' source. Astronomers in Washington said the signals would need a lot more study, but they did not dismiss the possibility that there may be an 'intelligence' trying to communicate with Earth. (CTA-102 is an invisible spot in space, too distant to be seen by even the most advanced optical telescopes. Only radio-astronomers have picked up its mystery 'radio waves' by using giant radio telescopes. Just how far away is CTA-102, cannot even be speculated, but it is certainly thousands, and possibly millions, of light years out in space.) Both the Russians and the Americans have spent some time listening for 'sensible' radio signals from space - so far without result. In April 1966, Soviet astronomers proposed a new search for radio signals. They want to listen in to signals arriving from stars up to 1,000 light years away. Within this distance there are ten million stars. The suggested Russian experiment is to scan the sky continuously for from three to five years, using large radio telescopes. The Russians, basing conclusions on calculations done on a computer, say that a radio transmitter of 1,000 million watts could send signals which could be heard distinctly 2,940,000 billion miles away. Such a transmitter, the professors say, is feasible in the light of present day Earth technology. Therefore there is no reason to suppose that the 'inhabitants of other worlds' have not built one - and may be using it. The Russians proposed that the sky should be divided into segments, their calculations indicating that about 1,000 stars might be scanned this way. But how would a message be recognised? Nobody knows, but it would probably have a distinct pattern. They calculate, that although it might seem more profitable to a distant civilisation to transmit signals in all directions - they would stand a better chance of being picked up - this would require too much transmitter power. It was considered likely then, that any 'messages' coming at us, would be directed as a thin beam - occupying a narrow band of frequencies. But which band of frequencies? The only way to be sure, argue the Russians, is to listen to all of them. But the finance for such a scheme would be astronomical. (No pun intended!) One thing, however, is sure: because of the vast distances involved, one of the first qualities necessary for civilisations intent on cosmic communication, will be remarkable (to page 26) 25 === Page 15 of 17 "AVIATORS" OF ANTIQUITY (from page 21) been fathered or colonized not once or twice, but several times, by our other-world visitors.

(iv) Space Probes: This is a method we are starting to use to a much greater extent as our knowledge increases. With instrumented space probes man has already reached and photographed Mars and the 'other side' of the Moon, and made successful attempts in reaching the planet Venus. Undoubtedly as our technology advances so will the space probes improve in range and ability, and many will be manned space probes. (to be concluded in the next edition.) ---------- ARE UFOs EXTRATERRESTRIAL SURVEILLANCE CRAFT ? (from page 28) our radar-fences and high-altitude radar-search systems see UFOs? If not of intra-solar-system origin, how could UFOs accomplish interstellar transits in reasonable times? Where could they be coming from? How is it possible that other military radar systems throughout the world have failed to detect UFOs if they are real? Why aren't they seen by airline pilots and military pilots? Why aren't they seen by astronauts in orbit? Why aren't UFOs seen occasionally by large crowds of people rather than by single witnesses? To these and related questions there exist some quite good answers and some possibly relevant speculative answers; to others of those questions, there exist no satisfactory answers, to date. 9) The first need in accelerating UFO research is for many more scientists and engineers to review carefully and critically the existing evidence in order to design new sensors. (Electromagnetic effects accompanying UFO sightings offer real promise herein.) Also, it is urgently important to exploit already existing radar networks. Data from the latter networks should be brought under scientific scrutiny to search for systematic patterns of UFO appearances and movements. Present anecdotal data, plus fortuitously revealed radar data, are inadequate to define such patterns accurately (due to the ridicule-lid effect acting as a non-random filter). Following design of sensor-networks specifically planned for UFO detection, a host of other investigations would naturally follow, as I have remarked in other contexts. A few specific examples of the latter will be cited. 10) As a low-cost, minimal-level precursor to such efforts to attain instrumental monitoring of UFOs, it is urged that various organizations and agencies take steps to establish exploratory UFO study programs, even if these involve only two or three scientists per organization. Any aerospace organization or agency that is interested in organizing such a small internal study can secure initial bibliography-assistance, etc., by getting in touch with me. The immediate need is to establish a broader base of scientific recognition of the astonishing nature of the existing UFO evidence. Scientific scoffing at UFOs has gone on long enough. Serious attention is long overdue. AIAA could perform a very useful role in stimulating new and vigorous examination of this intriguing, yet neglected scientific problem. (I am encouraged to learn that AIAA has, in fact, recently formed a UFO Subcommittee and am in touch with it.) Although only a percentually small number of scientists yet realize it, the past 20 years of yawning neglect of the UFO problem has become a scientific scandal, albeit still well-hidden. The sooner we take a serious new stance and confront the UFO question with adequate scientific talent and manpower, the less embarrassing will be the ultimate admission that we have, for two decades, been overlooking a problem of potentially enormous scientific importance to all mankind. ★ 26 # ARE UFOs EXTRATERRESTRIAL SURVEILLANCE CRAFT ? ## James E. McDonald ABSTRACT OF A TALK GIVEN MARCH 26, 1968 BEFORE THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF AERONAUTICS AND ASTRONAUTICS, INTERNATIONAL HOTEL, LOS ANGELES. ********** If it were insisted that I limit my entire talk to a one-word answer to the question posed in that title, I should find it hard to choose between the safer answer, "possibly", and the riskier answer that actually comes closer to my present opinion, "probably". The ever-increasing weight of the evidence I have been examining would drive me to the latter answer, if I had to compress an hour's remarks into a single word. Surely AIAA members would wholeheartedly agree that if there were even a slim possibility that the earth were under extra-terrestrial surveillance in any form, that would be a matter of the greatest scientific importance, warranting the most vigorous investigation. In fact, the evidence that seems to point to the conclusion that UFOs could be such devices is far from negligible; yet because of the history of official and scientific response to the earlier UFO reports, we continue to see mainly neglect or ridicule of this intriguing question. After nearly two years of intensive study of many facets of the long-standing UFO problem, after examining around a thousand UFO reports and directly interviewing several hundred witnesses in selected UFO cases of outstanding interest, and after weighing alternative hypotheses, I find myself driven steadily further towards the position that the extra-terrestrial hypothesis is the most probable hypothesis to account for the UFO. That hypothesis is, of course, not original with me; it has been urged for many years by persons knowledgeable with respect to the UFO problem, who spoke from outside scientific circles. Our collective failure to examine scientific aspects of the UFO problem will, I fear, be held against the scientific community when the full dimensions of the UFO evidence come to be recognized. And the latter date may not be far off. The principal points which I wish to emphasize include the following: 1) For the past half-dozen years, our American space program has been keyed to "the search for life in space", yet the now impressive UFO evidence that "life" may, in some sense, already have found us is either scoffed at or wholly ignored, even within such space-oriented agencies as NASA. I speak from first-hand experience in making that observation. 2) Twenty years of USAF responsibility in handling UFO reports appear to me to constitute about that same number of years of superficial and scientifically incompetent response to the UFO problem. Aside from brief periods in 1948 and again in 1952-3, USAF investigat- (to page 28) 27 === Page 16 of 17 ARE UFOs EXTRATERRESTRIAL SURVEILLANCE CRAFT ? (from page 27) ions of UFO reports have been perfunctory, aimed generally at finding any "explanation", however inadequately it might match the reported facts. 3) The principal reason that no other adequate scientific investigation has ever been initiated has been that, despite almost complete lack of any scientific expertise in the USAF program (Project Bluebook), public pronouncements have repeatedly given strong assurance that the investigations were drawing upon the best scientific talent available to the Air Force. Nothing could be further from fact. Examples will be cited to back up this point. 4) The present Air Force-sponsored study at the University of Colorado offered promise initially. However, repeated indications of negative bias in public statements by the Project Director, combined with lack of vigorous investigation of the most provocative types of UFO cases reported over the past 20 years, suggest that the Colorado program will fall far short of the required level of investigation. It is very desirable that some program be set up entirely divorced from Air Force affiliation, a conclusion underscored by recent developments at Colorado. 5) I have just returned from a visit to Canada where I discussed international scientific aspects of the UFO problem before the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute at their March 11-12 Montreal meetings. I emphasized the likelihood that UFO investigatory programs in countries other than the U.S. may have distinctly better chances of making rapid scientific progress towards clarification of the UFO question by virtue of the fact that they'd not be fighting uphill against the kind of thinking that USAF handling of the problem has engendered here. An encouraging new UFO investigation is, in fact, now being organized within the Institute for Aerospace Studies of the University of Toronto. I had an opportunity to confer with scientists beginning that study, on March 13. Quite recently, indications of a similar study being developed in France have appeared. The Russian position remains unclear. There are indications that a new level of official attention to UFO reports is appearing in other countries, but hard information thereon is still scant. 6) The types of UFO reports that are most intriguing, and point most directly to an extraterrestrial hypothesis, are close-range sightings of machine-like objects of unconventional performance characteristics, seen at low altitudes, and sometimes even on the ground. The general public is entirely unaware of the large number of such reports that are coming from credible witnesses, because ridicule and scoffing have made most witnesses reluctant to report openly such unusual incidents. When one starts searching for such cases, their numbers are quite astonishing. Also, such sightings appear to be occurring all over the globe, possibly with increasing frequency in the past year (an inference based on uncertain data because the "ridicule lid" seems to be lifting of late, and this may simply be bringing a larger fraction of such incidents to light). Examples will be presented. 7) Suggestions that such observations can be explained away in terms of meteorological optics (Menzel's principal thesis) or in terms of atmospheric plasmas (Klass' principal thesis) cannot be supported with cogent scientific arguments. The recently-published book by Klass ("UFOs - Identified") is filled with erroneous conceptions and with qualitative arguments that fall apart on assessing them in quantitative terms. Examples will be presented. 8) Many obvious questions and challenges can be, and must be, raised against the extraterrestrial hypothesis: How sure can we be that UFOs aren't some still poorly understood natural phenomenon? How can we be sure UFOs aren't secret test vehicles (ours or theirs)? If extraterrestrial, why no contact? Why no crashed UFOs? Why aren't there lots of good photos if UFOs are real? Why aren't UFOs seen in cities rather than in remote deserts and swamps? How can we be sure UFO sightings aren't hallucinations? How about hoaxes? Why no sonic booms? How can one account for non-inertial turns and maneuvers? Why don't optical-tracking programs, such as meteor-survey programs, photograph UFOs? Why don't (to page 26) 28 # STOP PRESS Reported Incident No.1. This occurred in Bairnsdale eighteen months ago on 21st. July, 1969, on the morning of the first moon landing. The time was about 5.10 a.m. The witness, a 16 year old girl, had risen early to watch the event on television. She switched the TV set on as she entered the room, leaving the room lights off. She then saw the object standing on the front lawn of her home. It appeared to her as a tall, rectangular pole shape. About 15 ft. distant from her it appeared 6 - 8 ft. high and 10 - 12 inches wide. It glowed white and there was a wedge-shaped shadow on the ground beside it. It did not give off a ray of light. It glowed. There was no sound. She watched for a moment and then, with the thought of being looked at through the window, she collapsed into a chair and huddled there for some time watching the TV. When other members of the family arose there was nothing to be seen. She had not seen the object leave. The only known substantiation of this sighting came next day when it was learned that, at the exact time the girl saw the object, the next-door neighbour heard sounds which suggested that someone was tampering with the car. Then that someone was on the back patio. Then that someone moved the blinds in the children's room. This the neighbour had gone to investigate but had found nothing unusual. The girl is a quiet child, a teenager and rather shy. Reported Incident No.2. This occurred along the road between Bairnsdale and Lakes Entrance on or about 1st. Sept. 1970. The time was about 8 p.m. The witness who reported this sighting lives in Stratford and is a married woman and nurse. She was travelling with two companions and was heading towards Lakes Entrance when all three persons in the car observed a light, with changing colours, converging on them from the south-west. Stopping the car, they got out to watch the light more clearly. They then switched off the headlights. At this the light appeared to accelerate its approach towards them. Frightened, they quickly got back into the car deciding to return to Bairnsdale and abandon all thoughts of going to Lakes Entrance. As they turned the car around the light stopped and changed its direction of travel going ahead of them much faster on a course which took it 3 miles or so south of Bairnsdale. It changed to a red colour as it went out of sight. There was no noticeable sound from the lighted object at any time. Reported Incident No.3. This occurred along the Princes Highway between Stratford and Bairnsdale on or about 23rd Sept., 1970, at 9.00 p.m. The witness, who also reported Incident No.2. (see above) of three weeks earlier, is a nurse and was driving from her home in Stratford to the hospital in Bairnsdale where she was due on night duty. She observed an approaching light in the rear vision mirror of her car and thought it to be a truck's headlights. As it came nearer she realized it was something flying at tree-top level. From 60 mph she slowed down to 45 mph so that she could safely look out of the car window at the light. The light was blindingly and brilliantly white and she was unable to say what shape or size she thought it might have been. The car now refused to accelerate and would not go faster than 45 mph, the radio became filled with the sound of static and the interior of the car became hot and drummed with such intensity that the witness suffered severe headache and shock. This situation continued for 24 miles (35 minutes) until she reached the first lights of Bairnsdale whereupon the light left her and flew off in a south south-easterly direction. ---------- FOR THESE REPORTS WE THANK MR.

TED OWENS--FLYING SAUCER MISSIONARY By Otto O. Binder 22 - [ ] SAGA === Page 3 of 9 TORNADO WINDS RIP THRU AREA For 24 years since 1947, when Kenneth Arnold sighted nine disks, everyone who believes in flying saucers has been wondering why the UFOs are here and what the occupants, if any, are up to on earth. NOW THE ANSWER IS KNOWN! It is known by courtesy of Ted Owens, the PK Man. As SAGA readers know from last year's August and September issues, Ted Owens claims that he is the "spokesman" for the SIs (Saucer or Space Intelligences) who communicate with him via two-way ESP. Ted has now made his private diaries (from 1963 to date) available to me Illustration by Gil Cohen SAGA - [x] 23 === Page 4 of 9 In one dramatic demonstration of his fantastic powers last June 24th, Ted Owens wrote to the Norfolk, Va., newspapers and radio stations (as he always does with his upcoming PK feats): "I will employ an unusual effect from another dimension (where the SIs come from) . . . a mental 'grid' apparatus that will cause weird magnetic and electromagnetic effects." On June 30th, the following headline appeared in a local paper: HALO IN SKY PUZZLES EVEN WEATHER BUREAU. This halo was observed by thousands as a peculiar "glow" in the sky at night that was not associated with the moon. It appeared for several nights, and people also reported seeing a huge UFO near or within the glow! SPECTACULAR PK FEATS OF TED OWENS 1) Announces a month in advance (March, 1966) that the SIs would end the six-year East Coast drought. 2) Warns the CIA of a "great catastrophe" within the U.S. 10 days before the great Northeastern power blackout of November 9, 1965. 3) Informs the Weather Bureau's Hurricane Center that his PK would work up three simultaneous hurricanes--with Beulah, Chloe, and Doris faithfully showing up and crunching into Florida, all on the same weekend in June, 1967. 4) Works up a lightning storm over Philadelphia on a specified night (1966), then points to a bridge and says it would be hit (by Ted's own lightning). Witnesses on a roof with him signed affidavits that a bolt struck that bridge within minutes. 5) Predicts that an SI lightning bolt would strike the Apollo 12 spacecraft--which actually happened on November 14, 1969, during launch. covering his whole fantastic contact with the SIs. They read like an odyssey into psi-land or the adventures of a new Sinbad in SI-land. And in those diaries is the answer to the most baffling question in UFOdom--why are the UFOs here on earth? Their whole plan, their mind-numbing para-science activities, and their macabre method of "training" Ted Owens for an ultimate "grand mission" have now been made clear to Ted. And he wants the world to know about it. But before we can give you this earthshaking (we mean that literally) revelation, we must first examine more of Ted's life and career as the SI's representative. First, can it possibly be true (as the previous articles revealed) that Ted not only predicts the news but makes it happen with the incredible PK (or psychokinetic) powers he claims to wield? You can judge for yourself from the following documented event in the summer of 1970, which occurred in and around Norfolk, Va., where Ted lives. Headline in the Norfolk Star-Ledger, June 16, 1970--MAY WAS UNUSUALLY DRY MONTH AND JUNE, THUS FAR, EVEN WORSE. The story pointed out that the June rainfall had been one tenth of normal. Then, it went on to say, "The dry weather is having a serious affect on area crops. . . If it receives no meaningful rain within two weeks, the corn crop will be a disaster." Now, in a letter to the editor of that newspaper, dated June 16, 1970, Ted Owens said he was going to do something about the danger to the corn crop and listed exactly what he proposed to do (italics added): 1) Make it rain here (in the Norfolk area) substantially within one week from now; 2) Keep it raining in the Norfolk-Virginia Beach area all summer long; 3) Give the area such a drenching as to be almost beyond belief; 4) Mark the storms with my personal "trademark" . . . heavy lightning attacks; 5) Bring up a hurricane from Florida to this area or near it. Brash statements? No ordinary man would make them, or hope to fulfill them, against all weather indications and patterns. Though previously he had apparently guided many hurricanes and "produced" many rain and lightning storms around the country, Ted Owens had obviously bitten off more than he could chew. His prophecies put him way out on a limb that was about to be sawed off by a big "miss"--and that could well destroy his 24 - [ ] SAGA === Page 5 of 9 ### FULFILLMENT OF PREDICTIONS MADE IN SAGA (SEPTEMBER 1970 ISSUE) BY TED OWENS --March 5, 1970: England and Europe hit by record breaking cold and snow. --March 8th: French submarine *Euridice* exploded and sank during Mediterranean storm with 60 mile-per-hour winds. --March 9th: Italian volcano comes alive and forces evacuation of town. --March 9th: Seismographs record "large earthquake" in New Hebrides Isles in the Pacific. --March 16th: Earthquakes in both Iran and Japan; many deaths reported. --March 17th: Record snowfalls reported in Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky, and Ohio. --March 23rd: Earthquake rocks Arabian Sea, causing deaths. --March 30th: Heavy quake (force seven on the Richter scale) flattened town of Gediz, Turkey.

Ted Owens was strangely unworried, however, and kept studying his newspaper each morning, until . . . June 21, 1970--TORNADO WINDS RIP THROUGH AREA AND DUMP ½ INCH OF RAIN! And, it occurred in only *five days* after Ted's promise, not one week. June 22nd--SPECTACULAR LIGHTNING STORMS OVER SOUTH NORFOLK, PLUS MORE RAIN. June 23rd--RAIN SAVES THE TRI-COUNTY CORN CROP! Ted had already fulfilled his main objective, but it didn't stop there and built up into a crescendo of rainstorms. Ted had said "drenched," remember? June 26th saw a terrific 2½ inches of rain deluge Tidewater, near the Norfolk airport. "This was unusual, even if not phenomenal," said the startled weather bureau. They were to get the phenomenal too. Almost daily thereafter, the headlines of the local papers became increasingly "stormswept"--RAIN SWAMPS LOCAL TRAFFIC . . . STORM KNOCKS OUT ELECTRICITY . . . LIGHTNING BOLT EXPLODES OIL TANK . . . ROCK 'EM SOCK 'EM THUNDERSTORM . . . HEAVY RAINS BLAMED FOR FLASH FLOOD . . . PLANES GROUNDED BY SUBMERGED AIRPORT . . . RAIN WASHES OUT GREAT AIR SHOW (Virginia Beach) . . . RIPTIDE ALARM SPANS BEACHES. The harried weather bureau became increasingly confused, with all their "scientific" forecasting shot to hell. On July 14th they said it would be "fair and warmer." But they should have consulted Ted because he was busily hurling PK power to make it rain again--and rain it did, aplenty. **A**ll right, all right! So Ted, perhaps by sheer luck, had called the shots on those cloud bursts, downpours, floods, and lightning storms. But let him bring up that Florida hurricane. So, July 22nd--FLORIDA THOUSANDS FLEE 'BECKY.' And on July 23rd, as if guided, Hurricane Becky swung up the East Coast and dumped fringe rains over the Virginia area. On that same date, the Red Cross was alerted to prepare for floods in various parts of coastal Virginia, as Becky unloaded millions of gallons of rainwater over a region already soaked to the bone. **H**ad Becky turned north of its own accord? Or had Ted's avowed storm-control powers been at work? Those who had seen Ted's previous weather predictions come true had little doubt as to the answer. Ted Owens even threw in a new gimmick not mentioned in his original storm predictions. On June 24th, Ted again wrote the newspaper and radio stations (as he always does with all his upcoming PK feats)--"I will employ an unusual effect from another dimension (where the SIs come from) . . . a mental 'grid' apparatus that will cause weird magnetic and electromagnetic effects." Headline of June 30th--HALO IN SKY PUZZLES EVEN WEATHER BUREAU. This halo was observed by thousands as a peculiar "glow" in the sky at night that was not associated with the moon. It appeared for several nights, and people also reported seeing a huge UFO near or within the glow. Then strange things began happening, such as TV programs that were suddenly cut off, followed by a sign--THIS IS NOT YOUR SET. IT IS DUE TO ATMOSPHERIC INTERFERENCE. They were slightly wrong. It was due to PK interference by Ted Owens, as he had forewarned. July 2nd saw another "weird" effect. As one headline put it--RERUN OF ECLIPSE? A singular "thundercloud" that was not a thundercloud had loomed over Norfolk and made it so dark at noon that motorists turned their headlights on and the automatic street lights flashed on. Rain poured down soon after as if (Continued on page 78) SAGA - [ ] 25 === Page 6 of 9 ### UFO MISSIONARY (Continued from page 25) from a gigantic waterfall in the sky, filling the streets with deep puddles and torrents of water. The bewildered weather forecasters kept wracking their brains for explanations such as "unexpected rain front" or "shift in winds," never knowing, or admitting, that Ted's "EM grid" was doing its stuff in high gear. Those who had regularly been notified by the Seer of the SIs--namely, all the public news media--were no longer laughing. They chewed up bushels of fingernails, staring at the latest release from Ted--"The SIs want recognition for themselves and me, their representative. If you want the storms to stop, give full publicity to my 'predictions' and how they were fulfilled to the letter." On July 23rd Ted got what he wanted in a column by Lawrence Maddry of the Norfolk *Virginia-Pilot*. It acknowledged Ted's first June 16th letter that outlined what had actually happened weatherwise, in the past five weeks. It also gave Ted's explanation for the "storm grid" the SIs had "constructed" in his mind, allowing him to hurl PK powers into the sky and lure down rain, lightning, and the wrath of nature. And soon after, weirdly, the weather slowly (you can't turn off PK that easily, says Ted) but steadily returned to normal, and the soaked residents of the Norfolk area were able to dry out. If we still want to scoffingly call this episode "dumb luck," we have to explain one uncanny thing. Why did those storms occur *only* in a restricted area largely within Virginia? And why did they concentrate heavily on Norfolk, the very target Ted originally and specifically named--in writing? How far can the badly wrenched arm of "coincidence" be twisted? The "multiple miracle" of Norfolk, as Ted calls it, is only the latest of his headline extravaganzas in which he purportedly uses PK power to create storms and other events. He is not really a prophet at *(Continued on page 80)* === Page 7 of 9 (Continued from page 78) all, looking blindly into the future. He knows his "predictions" will come true for he and the SIs make them come true. Ted is merely announcing them in advance. Ted claims to have chalked up some 225 PK feats by the middle of 1970, most of them as thoroughly documented as the Norfolk affair, in which nobody can possibly deny that he sent dozens of authoritative people his "storm warnings," blueprinting them in advance of the first rumblings. If he is just guessing, it is all-star guessing that is even more incredible than his avowed PK powers. A look at the past evidence will prove even more convincing. Highlighted in the previous SAGA articles were a series of astounding cases (see box on page 24). Ted also made two new predictions at that time that have come true. First, there would be worldwide storms, floods, earthquakes, and other natural disasters all through 1970. At the time this article was written there had already been an unprecedented series of such catastrophes, culminating in the ghastly earthquake in Peru that took 50,000 lives. (See list on page 25). Ted's second look ahead revealed that the SIs would put on the "greatest UFO wave" of saucer sightings ever known, all over the U.S. and the world, through the summer of 1970. You probably didn't read about it in your metropolitan newspapers or hear it over the newscasts but here is what John A. Keel, the world's foremost UFO researcher, reports in his publication ANOMALY--"A massive nationwide UFO flap seems to have started in late August (1970)." He goes on to state that a spectacular flap occurred in and around Arizona in early August, while sightings in New York state have "skyrocketed." And Illinois was in the midst of a "monster wave" (a rash of monster sightings) all summer. His data comes from newsclips from papers in small towns and rural areas that never made the big-city press. And of course, any sightings in metropolitan areas are simply suppressed. Why? Because the government and Air Force, by their stubborn policy of ignoring and ridiculing UFOs, have completely mesmerized the world's news media into believing they are not "news" but just notoriously repeated illusions. However, those living in small towns or rural communities still see UFO reports in their local papers, proving the UFOs have *not* vanished. In fact, judging by newsclips collected by UFOlogists, there is a genuine "wave" on. But it is ruthlessly and effectively smothered by the hypnotic "UFOs-are-myths" chant the world authorities constantly voice. For lack of room last time, the following past events that were left out will add overwhelmingly to the roster of dramatic PK feats performed by Ted Owens and the SIs: * Early 1964. Ted put the "whammy" on the New York World's Fair of 1964-65 (for forbidding any UFO exhibit) and said it would go bankrupt. It did, to the tune of $21 million. Let us make it clear, at this point, that though many of Ted's PK operations seem destructive and "negative," there is a grand purpose behind them that is the keynote to the riddle of why the UFOs are here. * In November, 1964 the Mariner 4 space probe was launched from Cape Kennedy to Mars. On December 13th, Ted wrote NASA that he was putting a "PK Light" on Mariner to follow it all the way and affect its mission in adverse ways. Mariner reached Mars on July 14, 1965 and swung around the planet as programmed. But what was entirely unprogrammed was Mariner's reappearance on the planet's other side eight minutes late. NASA scientists were utterly bewildered and shocked. After UFOs were reported over both the deep-space Goldstone tracking station in California and the Tidbinbilla facility at Canberra, Australia, all kinds of "conflicting signals" came from Mariner; it failed to shut off maneuvering systems, and it kept power circuits on that drained its batteries. In short, Mariner went "wild" and violated its built-in electronic control systems. As Ted wrote in his diary--"This is one of the most amazing PK feats I ever did." If he didn't do it, who or what did? NASA scientists never explained the unbelievable anomaly of Mariner lingering eight minutes too long behind Mars--something "impossible" in celestial mechanics. * Ted was not using only American space vehicles as sitting ducks. On March 1, 1965, Russia's Cosmos 50 satellite astoundingly burst into several hundred fragments in orbit--because Ted had sent up a "PK bomb" a week before. * On March 12, 1965, Ted notified George Clark of the CIA that he was using some "mighty unusual PK" on the tense situation at Selma, Ala., during the notorious racial conflict there over Negro voting rights. His particular targets were Sheriff Clark and Judge Thomas, both alleged to be anti-Negro. "What should develop," Ted told the CIA, "is a miraculous change of heart on the part of those (persons)." Three days later on March 15th, the *Washington Star* headlined--DRAMATIC CHANGE OF HEART. The story went on to state that Sheriff Clark of Selma had relented and decided to allow a Negro march, and that Federal Judge Daniel Holcombe Thomas of Mobile had apparently suffered a complete change-of-heart. Judge Thomas rendered a verdict that pleased even Martin Luther King and swept aside all former Alabama regulations, thereby allowing Negroes to register and vote without hindrance. One must admit that it is uncanny indeed that Ted Owens used that very phrase--"change of heart"--three days before the headlines. That is documentation hard to explain away. * May 6, 1965. The Russian Zond or Mars probe was destroyed by a PK "bomb" from Ted, predicted in his letter the day before. This was another space surprise that baffled all Soviet scientists. Instrumentation said all systems were "go." But their telemetry failed to tell of Ted's PK bomb arriving and messing everything up. * August, 1965. Ted had put a PK hex on the Gemini 5 flight, calling for a power failure, and promptly on August 22nd, its fuel cells malfunctioned. NASA authorities debated whether to bring the manned ship down and abort the mission. But the SIs communicated with Ted and said they would, on their own, return the power as a gesture of "good will" to the President of the United States. And the next day full power magically returned to the Gemini craft, although the fuel cells were still faulty according to telemetric data. Ted calls this another "on the button" feat in partnership with the SIs. * January 18, 1966. Ted warned government officials and the weather bureau that the SIs would produce record-breaking winter storms across America. The storms started almost immediately, and on January 27th the weather bureau proclaimed the "Blizzard of 1966" the worst in 33 years. By January 30th, most major cities in the north reported record-breaking cold waves, plus crippling storms of sleet and snow. * When the launch of the OAO-1 (Orbiting Astronomical Observatory) was postponed four times in April 1966, NASA's desperate excuses included high-altitude winds, fuel-valve failures, and various vexing "technical" problems. Ted Owens had a different answer--his PK working to abort this particular project. The vehicle was finally launched into a 500-mile orbit on April 8th and scientists rubbed their hands in glee. They were soon wringing their hands on April 10th, when all power abruptly shut down, and the OAO-1 went into space history as a dismal dud. They should have peeked in Ted's diary where he stated that even though his first PK force had not prevented the launch but only delayed it, his second and more powerful PK "shot" would disable the OAO completely, up in space. Ted's PK power had overcome all scientific power. Scientists were quoted as saying--"They had no idea what went wrong." If all systems were working perfectly, as they claimed, what did stop the OAO? We can surmise that Ted was home chuckling. * March, 1966. All the nation was aroused at the UFO sightings reported by coeds of Michigan State University, as well as many other witnesses. When Dr. J. Allen Hynek announced his ill-famed "marsh gas" explanation--but only at the "urging" of the Air Force--all the faithful in UFOdom were enraged. Among them was Ted Owens. In a letter dated March 26, 1966, he gave the CIA the bad news. The SIs, in retaliation at this utterly irresponsible and deceitful way of debunking UFOs, were going to "spank" the U.S. Air Force and give them a "lesson they would never forget." It would last through the year. What form this "lesson" would take soon became clear in a series of disastrous USAF plane crashes. Among the most spectacular was the "collision" of the Air Force's giant experimental SB-70A sweptwing bomber and an F-104 chase plane. Ironically, the pilot who died aboard the F-104 was Joseph Walker, (Continued on page 82) 80 - [ ] SAGA === Page 8 of 9 (Continued from page 80) famed pilot of the X-15 rocket-plane in which he had soared over 50 miles high--and where he reported and photographed flying saucers (never released by the Air Force). Heads rolled over this ghastly "accident" and the whole Air Force was shaken up. Before and after this major calamity, Ted Owens and the SIs chalked up dozens of adverse events against the Air Force--trouble launching the Gemini 9 . . . three disastrous fires at Air Force bases, including the tremendous loss of Elgin AFB in Florida, . . . serious injury to another test pilot of the experimental M2F2 craft . . . and an extraordinarily high rate of training jets falling from the sky for unknown reasons. It was a bad bad year for the Air Force, all for hoodwinking the American public. One extremely significant incident occurred at the very start of this chastisement of the USAF. On March 27th--the day after Ted wrote his "spanking" letter--a huge UFO hovered over Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. This happens to be the Air Force's center for saucer investigations, home of Project Blue Book. * One of Ted's most remarkable "prognostications" came on October 27, 1968. Friends from Canada were visiting him and asked for some SI demonstration to come. They were in a restaurant and Ted used a napkin to draw a sketch, clearly showing that a circular area in the center of the U.S. was in "danger" from some natural catastrophe. He even drew a skull-and-crossbones within the circle to emphasize the major proportions of this coming debacle. Three weeks later on November 18th, headlines screamed--QUAKE JOLTS 20 STATES IN MIDWEST AND SOUTH! The epicenter was in southern Illinois, precisely the center of the "circle of danger" Ted had sketched. One newspaper's map of the quake area was in the shape of a jagged circle that matched Ted's exactly. How many people would dare to make such a precise prediction of a coming disaster area and delineate it so firmly, hoping for it to come true by sheer luck? Try it yourself sometime, choosing any area in the U.S. or on earth, then sit back and wait for the headlines to bear you out. You will sit a long time. It's easy to deny that Ted Owens has any supernatural powers bestowed upon him by the SIs. But then we're left holding the bag of how to explain his eerie "hits" made so consistently. Either Ted's off his trolley--or we are. * Equally baffling is the event that began in October, 1968, when Ted wrote the National Hurricane Center at Coral Gables, Fla., and said frankly that for the first time in five years he had not successfully demonstrated his "control" over hurricanes. But to make up for this lapse he would see to it that at least one more storm arose and, he added, "even if it had to come forth after the hurricane season is over." He then said his target date might be as late as February. The hurricane experts must have rolled on the floor with laughter at that one. Didn't Ted know that no hurricane had (Continued on page 84) === Page 9 of 9 (Continued from page 82) ever come that late? No, probably Ted didn't know. But why should that stop him? Headline of February 15, 1969--HUGE STORM, TORNADOES RIP FLORIDA. The weather bureau people, quoted by newspapers, tried to pass it off as something other than a full-blown hurricane, calling it merely a "severe winter storm." But when winds roared up to 90 miles per hour, they had to lamely admit that "winds in excess of 74 miles per hour are considered of hurricane force." Thus, Ted had done the impossible in meteorological terms--produced the latest hurricane ever known in the U.S. And if you think that Ted has perhaps secretly studied weather phenomena so thoroughly that he is able to simply forecast unusual storms (without actually creating them), then you'll be balked by his diary and private papers covering his entire life. Not one word about studying meteorology; he just makes his own storms. * During August, 1968, Ted and his family were invited to Maine for a two-week, all-expenses-paid vacation by a group of Maine businessmen. They were interested in Ted's "hurricane hexes," possibly seeing it as a big "cane-busting" enterprise involving the dollar sign. If Ted could make hurricanes "turn" into the coast at will, he could obviously make them turn away if he wished (which Ted had been tirelessly telling the government all along). But wanting more proof of his PK powers and his alleged contact with the all-powerful SIs, they asked Ted to have at least one UFO appear over the area in those two weeks, spectacular enough to make the local papers. Before the two weeks were over, nine flying saucers were sighted by Ted and many other witnesses, one of which received huge headlines. He had simply signalled an "SOS" to the SIs, asking them to "put up or shut up" in his behalf. Acting for Ted, the SIs certainly did put up--and the businessmen shut up. But ironically even in the face of such a startling demonstration, the business group, for some unknown reason, gave up their plan to utilize Ted's hurricane-taming powers. Just how does Ted Owens' PK power work? It is a most fascinating and complex picture. Throughout his diary are "technical" notations about using "16 units of white PK," "1,000 red units," and sometimes enormous jumps into "one million black units." Elsewhere he lists the various kinds of PK units and their specific uses. These are far too abstruse to go into, but it seems that white PK units are for protection, green units for healing, red units for creating storms, and black units for blocking anything he wants to fail. These "units" are the amount of power put into any single PK feat. Then there are the *types* of PK powers themselves--Space PK, Missile PK, Hurricane PK, Healing PK, and so on. Ted, who once did psi-experiments for Dr. J. B. Rhine at Duke University, has evidently carried on his own researches into psychokinesis far beyond the elementary Rhine tests where PK merely controls the roll of dice. If PK from the human mind can make a pair of dice come up with certain numbers (as Dr. Rhine has proved in countless "runs") why can't it affect other and bigger things? Things such as the tumultuous air-currents that make up hurricanes, or the powered flights of missiles. Apparently Ted so reasoned, and gradually developed his PK powers to range in many directions, accounting for his amazing repertoire of PK feats, most on a grand scale that would make Dr. Rhine gasp. Yet parapsychologists like Dr. Rhine have never stated there is any limit to PK power, only that they have not yet tapped them. Ted has tapped them, however, and has made a quantitative jump forward in utilizing PK power. But none of this would be possible, as he himself quickly admits, without the aid of the SIs, who specifically chose Ted Owens as their spokesman and have, Ted believes, "operated" on his brain to charge it with the enormous PK power he exhibits. Even more complicated than the PK units of power are the "PK boxes" that Ted uses. These seem to be box-like containers that Ted visualizes in his mind, that emit not only PK forces but other paranormal miracle-working powers. He lists a bewildering array of such PK boxes--Weather Control Box, Universal Mind Box, Poltergeist Box, Wisdom of the Ages Box, and, skipping far down the line, the Angel Box. This last is intriguing in context with the "change-of-heart" feat in Selma, Ala., as described earlier. Ted has a significant note in his diary for March 12, 1965: "I started to hit Selma . . . cops, Sheriff Clark, Wallace, etc. . . . with a black PK. But something told me to put in Angels . . . 100 . . . and a small magic cross on each of those people. Now I know what Jesus meant by *love your enemies!*" Ted meant that loving your enemies is not just a pious platitude but can work wonders on them that direct opposition cannot achieve. Ted works hard at his PK "spells." In his diary he often mentions being "played out" the next day, or extremely nervous and agitated, and is sometimes forced to stay home from work to recuperate. The honesty and integrity of Ted's diaries are a potent factor in backing up his claims. For instance, Ted at one time felt gnawing doubts about getting messages from the SIs, and felt crawling fears that he was going mad and conjuring up hallucinations. But the SIs expelled his doubts and fears. It is quite impressive to look over Ted's list of "PK feats accomplished" and see that many are marked as occurring in "three days," "five days," or "nine days." Some are even overnight, while others take a month or more. But the numerous close-hitting cases compel one to seek a paranormal rather than a "chance" or a "luck" explanation. One question remains. Is Ted unwittingly using pure precognition and only that? That is, does he have the power (miraculous in itself) to peer into the future and see coming events that turn out true 85 per cent of the time? The SIs and his contact with them could then be sheer mental "window dressing" out of his subconscious mind, as it somehow delves with uncanny accuracy into the future. This would mean too that all his so-called powers are imaginary--that he does not control or make hurricanes, and has never spoiled a space shot with a PK shot. He would, in short, be foreseeing those events by his purely prophetic powers, and nothing more, with his subconscious imagination supplying the rest. But, because of his overwhelming list of "hits," that would still make him the greatest seer of all time, far above Jeanne Dixon or any others today, and even dwarfing the feats of the biblical prophets or the Oracle of Delphi. Explaining a fantastic phenomenon by one even more fantastic is hardly a rational way of solving a riddle. Dr. Rhine would be the first to snort at this explanation, for his precognition experiments with ESP cards have revealed no such enormous prophetic powers in the human mind or psyche. Thus, with the precognitive theory, there is nothing to explain why Ted Owens should alone be able to read the future like a book--unless God himself has lent him divine powers. The other explanation gives us something more rational as a method--that other-dimension beings with their super-science have given Ted PK powers to perform feats he merely announces in advance. And one other strong point backs up Ted's SI-contact claims. There are flying saucers seen all around earth (unless you are a last-ditch skeptic). If the UFOs exist, then the people who fly them exist. Certainly they cannot be ordinary humans but must be far beyond us in intellectual power. Thus, there is no great assumption to make as to the very probable existence of the SIs that Ted claims to talk to. Nor does his contact by ESP--now a well-established phenomenon--in any way stretch the imagination. The pure-precognition theory is barely possible while the SI-contact explanation is more highly probable. On top of that, the SIs have a definite purpose on earth, which they revealed to Ted, that you will find shocking but absolutely believable. It is far too long to be taken up here and will be disclosed in Part II, in the next issue of this magazine. There, you will hear how Ted Owens now knows the SIs picked him as a child to be their spokesman and representative. How they have trained him for a very specific task of colossal importance. And what the mighty mission (there are no other words for it) is to be. It involves the fate of everyone on earth--man, woman, and child. It will shake you, probably frighten you, but it will also shine a light of great hope for a better world. ★ THE END Next Month: Part II--THE GREAT ANSWER TO WHY THE UFOs ARE HERE! 84 - [ ] SAGA Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Ask Ted Owens where he receives his prophetic ability and he mentions the “SIs.” The SIs are the initials for “Space Intelligence,” according to Owens. He reports he first came into contact with the SIs in 1965 when he was living in Ft. Worth, Texas. Owens and his daughter were out for an evening drive when a cigar-shaped UFO appeared over their car. The craft was silent, but colored lights flickered from the inside of the ship. Owens explained there was no dramatic face-to-face confrontation with spacesuit UFOnauts. “From that day my life just changed radically,” he related. “The SIs do the planning and execution. I am their go-between, a middleman to assist them.” Owens points out that he has mental contact with the SIs, who allegedly use his brain as a receiving station for their telepathic messages from outer space. “Their purpose in doing certain things is to make the people listen,” Owens said. “As an example, I've controlled a government radar station, making images appear on the screen, in an experiment with PK—psychokinetic power.” Owens concedes he is a controversial person in the world of psychicism. He doesn't give psychic readings, but he does claim to have performed over 360 documented miracles with 164 PREDICTIONS FOR 1975 165 the aid of the SIs. Owens holds seminars and training sessions for both adults and young people. A member of Mensa, he claims to increase the brain power of his students. Owens can be contacted by writing to P. O. Box 48, Cape Charles, Va. 23310. His forecasts for 1975 are: President Thieu will be assassinated, in the near future, or he will run for his life to Europe where he can snuggle up to his Swiss bank billions. Either way, he is due to go soon. Texas will be wiped out, either by the Russians or by Nature. By the Russians if they should employ nuclear blackmail, which could be at any time; or by Nature, to show the United States its own powers. Texas, by its large size and its wealth, will make the best “sample case.” Nevada will be second choice. Friends of mine have asked if they should start digging underground shelters. I tell them that both the Chinese and Russians have already done so. Only the U.S. has been foolish enough not to dig shelters. What is good for the Chinese and Russians is good for my friends. Yes, do it at once. Now to other subjects: National Affairs: I can sense an attempt will be made by some underground group to take over the United States government, White House and all. What I am talking about is revolution. It will begin to surface in 1975. I predict that Reagan, Rockefeller and Connally will not be President. Bad health will be the main cause. Wallace will be out of it. Kennedy will be out of it. Elliot Richardson will be out of it. I do not “see” politics as usual ahead. I do not like the usual voting method of selecting a president. Something strange is going to happen in our history. Ecology in the Nation: It will worsen. People will sicken and die from the cumulative effects of auto exhausts, etc., in the air. Also, the water pollution is killing tiny plant life in the oceans which give us air. Doctors will finally discover that people are getting less and less oxygen, which is affecting === **Page: 2 of 2** 166 PREDICTIONS FOR 1975 their thinking processes and physical conditions. Scientists will also discover mutations taking place in humans. This is nature's attempt to adapt the human organism to the poisonous mess which humans have to live in. Because of nature's rule, only the strong shall live. You will see more babies, children, and old people dying in 1975 than usual. Look for more epidemics and pestilence as nature attempts to thin out the human ranks. Nature will also increase its punishment of the human race during 1975 with horrible storms and floods. Worst of all will be a blazing world-wide drought. Young people have been taught too much too quickly on television and in newspapers. In 1975, you will see gangs of teenagers a la Dillinger, robbing banks and doing criminal things only old, hardened ex-cons have attempted in the past. These youngsters will be more intelligent about it and better equipped. It will be a bad, bad year for law enforcement. Farming and agriculture: Drought will burn the ground and the crops in 1975. Nature will cause widespread animal and fowl sickness. More farmers will throw up their hands and sell their farms in 1975 than ever before. Economy: If you think the American dollar dropped in value in 1973, wait until 1975! The American economy is sliding downward toward the absolute bottom. It can well hit bottom in 1975. This means a worse stock market crash than that of 1929! I have advised my friends to get rid of their stocks and bonds completely. In the time ahead, they will have no value whatsoever. Also, watch the banks—more banks in 1975 will close their doors. Bank officials in many places will take the money and run. Crime: Crime will flourish as never before. Seeing the U.S. government in its helpless condition, the Mafia and Syndicate will step out boldly with new projects. The weaker the U.S. gets, the more daring they will become. Unemployment figures will grow as jobs become scarce and money becomes worthless. Prices will keep rising, and many products will drop out of the race altogether. International Affairs: We (the United States) are like a shark in a pack of sharks (other countries). Until now, we've been the Biggest Shark. But we've been wounded and we're bleeding, and the other sharks are maddened by the sight of our blood. They will attack us in many varied ways. Politically, economically, industrially, etc. Sensing our new helplessness, they will close in and go for our jugular in any way they can. Those now-powerful countries we defeated in World Wars do not forget it. Asians and the Mid-Eastern countries will be the deadliest of all. Poor Israel, long guarded by Big Brother U.S., must be especially wary in 1975. Israel's enemies even now are looking for a way to destroy her. 167 PREDICTIONS FOR 1975 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

President Nixon will not end his term in office. Something most unusual will occur, and he will either resign or be forced out of office." This forecast by Ted Owens was made in our 1971 compilation of predictions. Ask Ted Owens where he receives his prophetic ability and he mentions the "SIs." SI are the initials for "Space Intelligence," according to Owens. He reports he first came into contact with the SIs when he was living in Ft. Worth, Texas.

"Their purpose in doing certain things is to make the people listen," Owens said. "As an example, I've controlled a government radar station, making images appear on the screen, in an experiment with PK psychokinetic power." Ted made a trip to Europe last year and reports: As you know, I am called 'The UFO Prophet' because I allegedly (as far as my critics are concerned) work with, and for, UFOs. They modified my brain long years ago. In 1965, the UFOs told me to go to Washington, D.C., and ask the CIA and NASA to back me financially to go to Europe to old haunted castles to have my brain modified once again. "CIA and NASA, although fascinated, spent hours with me but politely refused. This year I took a plane to Inverness, Scotland, and on my first two nights witnessed many UFOs. The Loch Ness Monster stuck its neck and head up out of PREDICTIONS FOR 1976 the water and stared at me for five minutes. The third night at an old haunted castle in Scotland a UFO came right over me. I reported it to witnesses. The next day it was reported that many other people saw it. Newspaper reporters converged upon me. Stories were done on my work in Scotland. "Meanwhile, while all this was happening, the UFOs (SIs) were changing my brain. One morning when I prepared to shave, my eyebrows had changed to gray hair! Before this, they had been a deep red color! So, the powers that the UFOs were using were doing something to me. I then went to England to visit Stonehenge. I was told by the UFOs telepathically that Stonehenge was a psychotronic machine with other-dimensional powers planted in it. It could be activated by me since I had a half-alien brain. They instructed me in the "triggers" necessary to activate it and I did so. (Somehow I got the impression that my activating Stonehenge was more important than anything else.) Night after night I went, alone, to dark, haunted hills and castles, after midnight. Many UFOs came out where they could be seen and heard! I even got their sound onto tape! On the famed Cradle Hill, outside Warminster, England, a UFO came down right to my location while I had my tape recorder working. Its sound on my tape machine is like a cross between a bird and an animal." Readers may write Ted Owens, Box 48, Cape Charles, Virginia 23310. His look ahead to 1976 is: Will 1976 be the year of the UFO? Definitely so. UFOs will appear in ways they have never appeared. The United States will discover that UFOs can save it, or it will allow itself to become destroyed. I predicted all that is now happening in the economy in 1971. I predict much worse for the future. Businesses will crash and fade out on a huge scale. Unemployment will keep going up. 1929 and its hard times will seem like "the good old days" compared to what is coming up. More bank presidents and officials will begin to take the money and run. More banks will fail in 1976. The stock market will grow worse if that is possible. The US dollar will shrink in value. Its value will grow less overseas. American credit will shrink and fade overseas. Foreign countries will deride American visitors and their "funny money" from America. 164 165 === **Page: 2 of 3** 166 PREDICTIONS FOR 1976 New auto sales will drop like a rock in 1976. The auto business will be in terrible trouble, almost wiped out. In a way this will be good because minds here and there will turn to devising better, cheaper autos with new power sources. US railroads will go broke in a big way and practically cease to exist. The government will not be able to pour in the billions necessary to keep them alive. Small businesses all over the US will be wiped out on a grand scale in 1976. Giant corporations will resort to crooked shenanigans to stay in the game. Even so, many will go under. I predict a catastrophic economic year for the United States in 1976. The weather will be worse than it has ever been. More tornados, storms, floods, dangerous hurricanes, disastrous droughts. As the economy goes haywire, weather will follow the same trend. I don't see "politics as usual" in 1976. There is a revolutionary trend brewing. The Republicans and Democrats will be confronted suddenly by new parties. One of the new parties may win with its candidate. Republicans and Democrats will change over and vote for an honest man. I don't see Ford becoming President. I do not see Wallace becoming President. I see him ill; he'll be lucky just to be alive. I do not see Reagan becoming President. I do not see Rockefeller becoming President ... by vote of the people. It might be handed to him by Ford—but not by popular vote of the people. I do not see Jackson becoming President. Before closing the door on politics I predict that we do not need a President. We need a panel of righteous men to govern our country. The entire political system of our United States will be thrown in the scrapheap. The system we have is geared to another time and is totally irrevelant to our present needs. I see a revolution taking place in the United States. I smell it coming, psychically. People will rise up and throw out obstacles to the progress of our great country. It will be bloody, loud, and destructive. Watergate: It will be amazing how many of these Nixon people commit suicide, die of accidental drowning, or fall out of windows. The Rich Gang will do a clean-up job to make sure that they never talk. And that includes Nixon and Kissinger. 167 PREDICTIONS FOR 1976 Fashions: These will run to sexiness and nudity. Look for sheer, filmy, see-through clothing. This trend will begin in 1976. Some fashion houses will try to push long, bulky dresses but women will go out and buy the sheer dresses for sexual impact. An entire new educational structure will be designed and put into operation. The new system will do away with tests. It will be revolutionary in scope, giving students more freedom to think and be creative. Bands will make a comeback in 1976. Really good small jazz combos will make a comeback. Food and shortages should be lumped together. There will be vast food shortages in 1976. Money will be scarcer and so will food. Economic Depression ... mentioned earlier: The US is in for a barnburner, rip-roaring, tear-down-the-house Depression. New York is going broke, and the entire country is going to follow. The government smells revolution brewing and in 1976 will do all in its power to scare people into line with government thinking. There will be radical Earth changes all over the world, including the United States. There will be a tremendous quake on the West Coast in 1976 or possibly just before. It will be the granddaddy of all quakes. Packs of tornados will rake the land in 1976. Drought and flood will sweep the United States as nature attacks. International affairs is a dilly! In 1976 in England, France, Germany, etc., if a child says the word "American" his mother will wash his mouth out with soap! The countries surrounding us will show their hate and disgust with everything American. The US government is going to take one whale of a beating in 1976. Other countries will throw out our military bases, curtail our tourist activity, and so on. Our American dollar will lose its power overseas. American tourist travel will slow down to a trickle. The Psychic Scene: This country has some of the finest psychics in the world, yet does nothing with them. Organized, psychics could be a priceless help to our government, not only in national and international emergencies, but in long- === **Page: 3 of 3** 168 PREDICTIONS FOR 1976 range forecasting. Years ago I wrote to President Nixon (ex-cuse the expression) and offered to organize all the great psy-chics in the land. I'd get Geller, Dixon, Doc Anderson, Gypsy Markoff (Countess Amaya), Hurkos, and others in the psychic field together as one superpsychic team. We'd help guide the United States through times ahead. The gov-ernment would put up salaries for these top psychics so they would not want. They could devote their energies and time to helping the United States. This superpsychic team would be invaluable to the United States! Now, each psychic is helping an individual here or there with psychic powers. But the total picture would be much better if the psychics banded together to become a powerful psychic force. Earth humans had better stay out of space. The UFOs have drawn a line and said: "Do not cross this line into outer space." The UFOs take a dim view of our bringing human misery, war, crime, and corruption of every kind onto the Moon and other places. They have warned that they will at-tack our spacemen if it is tried. Investments: Very simple! Sell your stocks and bonds as soon as possible. Get as far away from the stock market and investments as you can. Do not invest; get what you can in your hand and hold onto it, for all you are worth! The UFOs are going to kick the slats out of Texas and Nevada. I personally would not want to be living in these two states. Other "bad news" places: Florida, California, Illinois. Farming will get worse. Big corporations are shoving out the little farmers. Nature is on a rampage, causing drought, floods, blight, livestock diseases, wild storms. I see less good food available to the people . . . a bleak farming picture. Interest rates will zoom out of sight. Disasters: Tremendous floods and tornado attacks in the Midwest. Huge quake on the West Coast. Roaring fires, un-precedented, on the West Coast, out of control. Outbreak of devastating disease in Texas and Florida and perhaps Cali-fornia. A giant hurricane or two smashing in from the Gulf Coast. Crime going higher until even schoolteachers, policemen, and the like are apprehended for committing crimes. Consumer Affairs: The giant corporations will be unable to block off knowledge of their corruption of products. The pub-lic will really get an education in 1976. Mental Health: A tremendous surge of mental breakdown PREDICTIONS FOR 1976 169 is coming in 1976. Human brains are being deprived of life-giving oxygen on a grand scale. This will lead to massive breakdowns of the human mind. Fuel and Energy Crisis: Another crisis in 1976. As the Ar-abs get madder at the United States and Kissinger, they will sublimate their emotions through cutting off essential fuel. Unemployment Prospects: Nil, and getting worse. Over a year ago I predicted 10 per cent unemployment in 1975. My critics fell off their chairs laughing at me. It's 9 per cent now and escalating. I predict 15 to 20 per cent unemployment by 1976 or worse, even. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound 00:00:01 [Music] thinking aloud conversations on the Leading Edge of knowledge and Discovery with psychologist Jeffrey mishlove hello and welcome I'm Jeffrey mishlove today we are going to look at the PK man and Mercurial hermeneutics my guest is Dr Jason geani who is on the faculty in philosophy at the New Jersey Institute of Technology he is also author of a very significant book Prometheus and Atlas which is the winner of the 2016 book award from the Paras pychological Association welcome Jason I'm especially 00:00:53 looking forward to this discussion Jeffrey this will be most interesting I'm looking forward to it as well and I think many of our viewers will understand the reference to the PK man is I've done three interviews on this subject earlier based on my book the PK man but when it comes to Mercurial hermeneutics we better unpack that term for our viewers well Mercurial hermeneutics is playfully redundant because of course Mercury is the Roman version of the God Hermes so I'm really sort of saying hermetic hermeneutics and 00:01:28 Hermes is the trickst and thief in the Olympian Pantheon he's The Courier of Zeus who transmits messages from Olympus to humanity but he's also a joker figure who um sort of confuses deceives and misleads with those messages and Hermes is also uh the god associated with the Hermetic tradition which is the esoteric tradition in Western culture that's right and Carl Yung wrote an essay on the trickster archetype focusing on Mercury or the latinate version of Hermes and hermeneutics hermeneutics is the art of 00:02:08 interpretation I believe in the dialogue cratus Plato tells us that Hermes invented the art of language both to um lead and mislead people so uh when you have written language the possibilities of gaining a second order of reflection on things is such that you're also able to manipulate people by the use of words uhhuh and and so hermeneutics is the art of proper interpretation of words would you say Yes um because writing is not as transparent as Communication in an oral culture you also now need an art of 00:02:44 exegesis so if if I were to use the term hermetic hermeneutics the the Hermetic part would mean sealing esoteric wisdom up so that it's not accessible to the exoteric mind and the hermeneutics would be unpacking that and making that wisdom available right and historically hermeneutics first referred to the interpretation of religious texts specifically and then uh developed a wider significance so one of the things that I argue in this chapter and Mercurial hermeneutics is that um religious scriptures involve the 00:03:21 communication uh of a trickster figure who has been um shaping and reshaping human societies and in order to understand the Dynamics of our interaction with this archetype we need to very carefully interpret these texts and you in my opinion wisely selected the PK man as an Exemplar of uh a contemporary case in which this Mercurial figure this trickster figure is manifesting itself that's right uh Ted Owens um his case is significant in two regards uh one it highlights the inextricability of psychic phenomena and 00:04:00 UFO phenomena and also Ted Owens explicitly compared himself to the prophet Moses claiming that the space intelligences who were guiding his tremendous Feats of psychokinesis had been searching for centuries to find another figure as capable as Moses was to carry out their mission uh and um he compared his eventual struggle against the United States government to Moses's stand against Pharaoh it's an interesting compar Arison and yet at at the same time I guess because we live in a judeo-christian culture Moses is a 00:04:38 highly revered figure and Ted Owens the PK man existed always on the fringes of society and very close to Poverty throughout his life well if you look back at the story of Exodus you see the same elements that you see in the Ted Owens case um Moses uh engages in wondrous Feats of telepathic and psychokinetic ability in competition with The Magicians of Pharaoh's court and uh The Exodus is Led is Guided by an aerial object that's described as a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of Fire by Night the pillar of Fire by 00:05:18 Night reference is actually quite specific when you uh read the text carefully this is an illuminated cylindrical object which gives off enough light so that the Israelites can March uh during the night time mm and during the Red Sea episode the Egyptian Army is at the back of the Israelites and so when they camp that night the object shuts its light off so that uh it won't give away the position of the Israelites the next morning the Israelites wake up to see this cylindrical object hovering over the Red 00:05:50 Sea and a channel has been cut through the Red Sea when they start to cross the Red Sea they notice that the water has been uh damned up into almost perfect walls on either side of them and what should be a very muddy seabed uh is perfectly firm so somehow it's been pressed down and all the moisture has been uh uh pushed off to the sides the Israelites cross the Red Sea with this cylindrical object overhead and then when the Egyptian Army enters the channel in pursuit of them there's a very curious description of how suddenly 00:06:29 their horses and chariots appear to be moving in slow motion and then the Chariots are pushed down the wheels are uh basically um they explode off the sides of the Chariots as if a force is crushing them from above and then the walls of water all of a sudden pour in onto the Egyptians but they they uh they do that unevenly they start to drown the Egyptians whereas they remain in place uh ahead of the Egyptian Army so that the last of the Israelites can finish crossing the channel people often leave this out of their 00:07:02 account of the Red Sea Story the fact that an object appears to be causing these effects on the ground well I gather what you're saying here is that uh the god of the book of Exodus uh is the trickster archetype at work yeah and uh this trickster you know is rather merciless at several points in The Exodus narrative uh we see him lash out terribly against the Israelites first of all he sanctions Moses's Massacre of the Israelites who are worshiping the golden calf yes some 20,000 yes and uh later on the object 00:07:42 descends uh on the Israeli camp and starts to attack their tents um so you know this is a rather a harsh God and at the same time uh there are various examples of a kind of diabolical humor on on the part of this entity now if it wasn't for the case that I had engaged in a 10year study of Ted Owens the PK man and uh have good documentation for the many psychokinetic Feats that he produced involving control of large scale phenomenon in including earthquakes tornadoes hurricanes volcanoes and and so hurling lightning 00:08:26 bolts which is one of the trademarks of Zeus and of Indra uh if it wasn't for my actual study of these things I'd be inclined to consider all of this as as you know Pleasant uh myths to consider uh not not real history well I take my lead from William James in this chapter uh James suggested because of his experience in psychical research that perhaps we ought to interpret religious scriptures as vertical accounts of Human Experience of course not every detail is going to be accurate right but uh his 00:09:03 approach to religious scriptures was that we should treat them as phenomenological descriptions and not necessarily buy into the ideology that is being promoted in these scriptures to uh evaluate them scientifically and this was an example of his radical empiricism and I'm certainly 100% in favor of assuming William James approach to these matters let's look at the UFO component now because Ted Owens is one of many UFO contact these who claims to have psychic powers uh connected with that relationship URI Geller was another uh 00:09:46 also noted for psychokinetic powers and uh uh if one reads the book URI written by Andrea puharich there are many episodes in that book involving UFO sightings that were connected with uri's abilities uh I have interviewed uh some of the witnesses to those sightings and URI himself while he likes to downplay that he has never denied that these things occurred so it would suggest based on the Contemporary UFO circus if you will and these religious scriptures that there's a trickster likee archetype 00:10:25 the God Hermes if you will uh that's been interacting with Humanity for a long time and uh often um whose intentions are not at all obvious let me give you two examples of that that I feature in my chapter uh one is I believe a 1959 case uh discussed by jacqu valet where um six agents of the CIA and I believe one Naval intelligence officer were sent to a certain Miss ke who was a medium claiming to be in contact with an intelligence from Europe MH and U she would receive uh messages that she transcribed in the fashion of 00:11:07 automatic writing yes and they took careful notes on her methodology she even trained them to be able to produce UFO phenomena in association with this entity uh they contacted a radar operator who should have been monitoring that uh sector of the sky where they three of these officers witnessed the phenomena and somehow radar returns for that particular sector were knocked out at the time the sightings were produced so some kind of psychokinesis was involved at the very least the interesting thing is that uh this entity 00:11:43 who claimed to be getting in touch from out of Uranus called itself AFA and uh in the enoan language developed by John D Queen Elizabeth's um court occultist and adviser going back to the Renaissance Era yes and this inoi language which was adopted by the 20th century magician Alistar Crowley AFA means empty empty as in there's nothing really here as in you know hot airh so I think this is one example of the trickster at work another one which is more disturbing is that in 1975 uh the cattle mutilations in 00:12:23 western states uh reached their Zenith um a federal investigation was coordinated mhm uh based in in Colorado where I believe the governor of Colorado got directly involved there was so much property damage to the uh cattle across 15 Western States and to my understanding these cattle mutilations are continuing to this day yes uh but the interesting thing is that now we have laparoscopic surgery and in the 1970s and long before that I'll come to that in a minute in the 1970s uh they were seeing laser precision and 00:12:58 extraction of organs through very small holes uh things that we're just starting to be able to do today under highly controlled conditions inside of a a laboratory or a hospital sure and the fact that we now have laparoscopic surgery hardly explains the cases in which cattle mutilations occur in the winter where there's snow around the mutilated body of of the cattle but no Footprints whatsoever it gets more bizarre than that sometimes you see that uh the extracted organs are neatly placed on top of the the carcass by the 00:13:30 way no blood in the environs the extracted organs are placed on top of the carcass sometimes they'll find a rusty Army Surplus knife left at the site as if to make the joke that it's with this Implement that the mutilation was carried out uh at any rate it got so bad in in uh 15 of these western states that they conducted a federal investigation FBI couldn't even identify a um suspect now the interesting thing is that in Greek mythology Hermes is the god the cattle sacrifice and so I wonder whether uh 00:14:04 this is in a sense the calling card of mercury these cattle mutilations well if one looks at the history of paranormal research over and above Paras pychology which is a very rigorous scientific field with a more limited Focus than we're discussing today uh there are many many uh confounding and yet well-observed phenomena that have been reported now for a good 150 years you're suggesting that there's some sort of a an autonomous conscious uh somewhat malevolent entity behind all of this so one way you can interpret all of this is 00:14:51 as a series of projections from the collective unconscious yes Carl Yung wrote a a small book called flying saucers where he advanced thesis mhm I don't believe that uh that's a sufficient explanation because we have plenty of cases of near collisions with UFOs uh collisions with what appear to be structured objects from very very close I mean they're near collisions and um Landing traces um so I think there's enough hard evidence that we're dealing with structured objects also if you look through the history of Close Encounters 00:15:29 uh let's say at the Book of Ezekiel there are fairly detailed descriptions of at least four different types of unidentified flying objects uh another element that's fairly consistent throughout the spectrum of Close Encounters is the phenomenology of the objects themselves you you see a certain set of uh structures to these objects saucer shaped cylindrical uh triangular they don't uh have an infinite variety okay so this suggests to me that um there is some degree of objectivity to this phenomenon and there are uh real 00:16:07 entities of some kind behind it at the same time jacqu Val makes a good point and uh one that is at the core of your book the PK man some Mastery of psychical ability is also evident in close encounter phenomena another exploration that I think is worthy of being mentioned is George Hansen book the trickster in the Paranormal yes it's one it's a resource that I also draw on and in particular Hansen's idea that the trickster operates in terms of the manipulation of binary uh opposites is very significant in promethus and Atlas 00:16:47 uh to the extent that we can identify an agenda to the uh activities of this intelligence that's engaging various human cultures it's uh a destructuring force which seems to invert the binary oppositions uh that underg the social structures of various cultures different epics of History well the uh observation that you make is that this same entity that uh manifests itself in contemporary paranormal observations has been involved throughout world history and in particular uh engages Humanity through 00:17:29 the uh implantation of miraculous events and and and throughout the world various religions have been formed around um miraculous kinds of observations right I'm suggesting that uh Twitter and Tweeter the grasshopper space intelligences of Ted Owens you know uh were kind of you know using uh Muhammad as a ventriloquist dummy and pulling the strings of Jesus uh and that effectively they represent an invasion from Uranus I mean this is absurd yeah okay but the point that I make is that this absurdity 00:18:05 is being used as a tactic of psychological warfare when you hide behind the shield of absurdity you're able to infiltrate a society by getting past its intellectual and political Vanguard the phenomena seem uh too nonsensical to be treated seriously by the scientists of uh given civilization even if it's the civilization of the Roman Empire right so I think that part of the way Christianity was able to transform the Roman Empire was that none of the men of learning of that time took uh the phenomenology of Christian 00:18:37 scripture seriously they thought it was absurd as absurd as we would take the Ted Owens case to be today and so you're able to address the dregs of society and uh people who don't have the highest level of Education are thrown into direct uh contact with this uh intelligence and because they are mocked because ridiculed and ostracized they form a kind of uh close-knit cult that's alienated from the rest of society and the more alienated they are the more fanatical they become and eventually this leads to the kinds of uh religions 00:19:15 uh the kinds of um cultural movements that we see in the history of the abrahamic revelations which have been largely destructive well if I get your meaning correctly Jason you seem to be suggesting that uh this intelligence is deliberately creating many many problems throughout human history perhaps for the purpose of challenging Humanity to wake up and see what's going on yes I think that uh if we were to develop a type of science which acknowledges the spectral then we would become less vulnerable to 00:19:52 uh manipulation at the hands of this trickster mhm and that perhaps as a species we won't achieve full maturity until we do so yeah um My ultimate conclusion is that we need to engage this trickster by embodying the archetypes of Prometheus and Atlas and and let's just talk then briefly about what those archetypes mean to you well Prometheus uh is the uh projector of the future he is um what allows us to get a grasp on phenomena for the sake of getting a better handle on the world and uh Atlas uh stands for models of the 00:20:32 world modeling the world and working with different maps of reality so these are um emblematic of our Titanic Spirit of scientific exploration and Discovery and of human self-reliance and I gather uh that this is what higher Consciousness means to you I think it's a kind of Consciousness that um allows Humanity to determine its own future course of development as opposed to being under the sway of these powerful subconscious forces even if they are projections of our own mind uh of of which we're usually uh not fully 00:21:14 aware yeah it's an acknowledgement that scientific exploration and Discovery have their own religious ethos it's a very liberating and empowering religious EOS and it it gives us the possibility this suggestion of yours that we can begin to to look Inward and develop more of a science of uh of our inner life and how it interacts with the World At Large right it's a lot to contemplate I mean it's it's a very deep and profound vision and I have to give you credit for taking my book the PK man and placing it 00:21:48 within a larger historical and cultural context to to bring out the larger meaning of uh what was for me a 10-year exploration well uh you know the the credit really uh belongs to you because in some ways I think people don't want to acknowledge with cases like this one after all it was handed off to you by Russell targ and and Hal POF who I think didn't want to deal with Ted Owens at SRI right they were doing research for the CIA at the time and their reputation was already being questioned because uh they had 00:22:23 brought Erie Geller into the laboratory and he was a flamboyant public figure and they figured they they just felt they couldn't handle another uh flamboyant psychic like that I was an eager young graduate student at the time and this seemed like an amazing case from all that I knew of it and even today I can look back and say that uh I'm not aware of any other case that's been documented in the history of parapsychology and psychical research that involves so many dramatic uh demonstrations of a stens psychokinesis 00:23:00 well it seems to me that it was more than flamboyant that scared them I mean this is a man who eventually I think by 1980 or so started psycho kinetically attacking nuclear power plants uh that's quite frightening and what I'm suggesting is that this kind of capriciousness or perhaps even malevolence extends all the way back throughout history in a phenomenon that interweaves what we call the psychical and what have been identified as UFOs you know uh in Muhammad's uh extraordinary extraordinarily and 00:23:31 inexplicably successful series of military campaigns sometimes people would report that um a cloudlike object descended down onto the battlefield and uh released invisible horses Angelic Warriors that fought together with Muhammad's armies and this manifested itself in heads being severed from the uh enemy soldiers without any apparent cause uh and um their horses being cut down on the battlefield without being engaged by Muhammad's armies so you know and then if you go back to the initial Revelation event in the Quran uh 00:24:10 Muhammad's first encounter with Gabriel in the cave which terrifies him he runs out of this cave and scampers down the hillside at that moment he sees a bright glowing object and every time he turns his head this object rapidly moves on the horizon so you know you can't find any more um catastrophic or calamitous historical event than the initial spread of Islam over two World Empires the Persian and the Roman Empire within a 100 years Muhammad's armies were at the gates of Paris if indeed Twitter and 00:24:44 Tweeter are behind something like this then uh we're faced with a very significant challenge which is using absurdity as a shield what and you're suggesting that uh probably today a good half at least of humanity has been brought up and socialized within one of the abrahamic Traditions largely Christianity or Islam and to a much smaller degree Judaism and how many other religions have been uh developed on the basis of such miraculous events May account for practically all of humanity I suppose and and you're saying 00:25:20 we've we've don't really understand what's going on that there the the power behind all of these religions is not what it appears to be well one significant point in response to that is that I don't think say Buddhism has the same Foundation uh Buddhism or the Buddha Dharma is not based on a belief in a certain Doctrine uh on account of being awed by miraculous events uh so I think that this is very unique to the abrahamic tradition among those major religions that have survived and that's why I draw on Buddhism in Prometheus 00:26:00 asce for the development of a Cosmopolitan spirituality so in other words what you're suggesting is you're drawing a real distinction between I I think it was Balzac who described the difference between the god of the philosophers versus the god of Abraham Isaac and Jacob well gatama Buddha you know people often don't recognize that in the tripitaka in the sermons of the Buddha he explicitly says that some of the gods are tricksters and that they ought not to be followed sometimes they deliberately mislead people and they 00:26:36 become Drunk on Power well Jason raaza Geor johani this has been a very enlightening interview and I uh can't tell you how much I appreciate your your willingness to apply your intellect to my work the PK man thank you for being with me thank you Prometheus and Atlas

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound 00:00:09 [Music] New Thinking Allowed. Conversations on the leading edge of knowledge and discovery with parapsychologist Jeffrey Mishlove. Hello and welcome. I’m Jeffrey Mishlove. Once again I'm going to be interviewing myself. That's me. And I should say by way of introduction that today is the 27th of January 2021. And the occasion for this particular open-ended discussion is the fact that in a few hours I will be giving a Zoom presentation to the Rhine Research Center in Durham, North Carolina about my research with the PK Man, 00:01:29 Ted Owens. So, I'm actually using this as an opportunity to help myself prepare for it. I wonder by way of introduction if you'd like to say anything else? Thanks for asking me because I know there's a lot of depth both to the question of the Rhine Research Center founded by J.B. Rhine himself, the father of modern parapsychology. The story of Ted Owens which is certainly one of the most amazing things not only that I have ever encountered in my life personally but I can say that the person who was the co-author of the 00:02:11 original manuscript upon which my book The PK Man was written was D. Scott Rogo. Scott was a distant cousin of mine, a good friend. He was also a parapsychologist himself and in fact very well read in the history of parapsychology. Amongst his many other books was Parapsychology: A Century of Progress [Inquiry] and it was his opinion that the Ted Owens case is unique in the history of parapsychology itself, that perhaps no one else has ever demonstrated so many examples of large-scale psychokinesis. So it's quite an unusual case 00:02:58 and the fact that Owens interacted with J.B. Rhine is especially significant. In fact, J.B. Rhine was very instrumental in bringing out Ted Owens’s talents. This is a fact however that I think J.B. and his wife Louisa — Ted Owens called her Louis — were embarrassed about. Because at one point when I was researching the case and while she was still alive I talked to Louisa Rhine about Ted Owens and, yes, she confirmed that she knew him, that she worked with him but she said, “Please don't mention 00:03:41 our institute in connection with this man.” She saw him as a terrible embarrassment. Now, I also want to add that there's a deeper level yet to be described here and I'm going to say that it has to do with Kabbalah, with Jewish mysticism. Not just Jewish mysticism, mysticism in general because I think at some level, yes, there are unique cultural variations on mystical traditions and Kabbalah is quite unique. But the principles apply universally. And the principle is what I would call stories within stories within 00:04:22 stories. Now, this is very self-evident in Kabbalistic mysticism where every word is made out of letters and every letter is a word and each of those words are made out of letters and each of those letters are additional words. So it's an infinite regress. You can never get to the bottom of all of the stories involved. When I'm talking about Ted Owens and J.B. Rhine and my own research and parapsychology and the intertwined connections, the fact for example that Ted Owens was in the Navy in the Second World War. 00:05:02 He's really of my father's generation who was in the Army in the Second World War. That opens up vast panoramas for understanding our place in the universe, which is what this is all about.This may be about our place in the universe but let's not get too far afield. Let's talk really about parapsychology. For one thing, I think it's important to address this question for our viewers. Why bother to pay attention to parapsychology at all? You're putting out, or perhaps I should say, we're putting out 00:05:43 videos almost on a daily basis now and I should just give our viewers a little warning that that's probably going to slow down. I don't think that this is a pace that I want to continue permanently. In any case though, we're asking our viewers to watch parapsychology videos every day, at least we've been doing that now for many weeks and we'll probably continue to put several videos up a week. Why? Why should viewers do this? What an interesting question. It does get at in some ways the heart of why I am sitting here 00:06:28 in front of these cameras right now having this conversation with myself. What's in it for you? I think a good place to begin is with Ted Owens. He had a lot of native psychic talent. I don't think there's any question about that. It ran through his childhood. It ran in his family. When he was in the Navy he was stationed in the Pacific in New Caledonia. He began doing telepathy experiments with the officers with whom he was stationed. He also had some very mild, I think, examples of potential psychokinesis. He wrote 00:07:12 to J.B. Rhine from New Caledonia while he was in the Navy and J.B. Rhine wrote back to him. He had set up some experiments that he was doing with the naval officers. He believed he could read their minds. Here's what he reports. It's quite fascinating. He would visualize rays of light coming out of their forehead reaching up to a big light in the sky, as I recall, or somewhere above them in the room. Then he would look above their head in between the two rays of light and he said he could see their thoughts. 00:07:53 He would ask them to concentrate on a thought and then he'd write down what he saw. For example, in one occasion he saw a streetcar and he drew a little picture of a streetcar. Then he asked the officer, what were you thinking about? The officer said, “Well, I'm from San Francisco. I'm thinking about the cable cars.” San Francisco is famous for its cable cars which are little street cars that run up and down the hills of San Francisco being pulled by cables that are under the street. So it was pretty much a direct hit. 00:08:33 Ted Owens wrote to J.B. Rhine — this is in the 1940s — and J.B. Rhine answered him and gave him some pointers as to how he could develop better controls for this research. So when Owens got out of the Navy, I think it would have been about ‘44, ‘45 or so he had no work. He described to me, I questioned him in depth about his history, and he said, “Yeah, I was out of the Navy. I didn't know what I was going to do. I went home to Bedford, Indiana and my aunt came to visit from New York City. I was telling her I 00:09:18 had had this conversation or this correspondence with J.B. Rhine, the famous parapsychologist.” Rhine achieved a measure of fame in the 1930s when he first wrote his book about extrasensory perception and all the card guessing experiments he had done. And the aunt said, “Oh my goodness, you should get him on the phone right now. Call long distance.” And he did and Rhine said to him, “Funny you should call. I just lost my secretary. I'm working on a book right now called The Reach of the Mind and I need secretarial help 00:09:57 and you are a high-speed typist, you've worked as a stenographer in the Navy. Can you come right now to Durham, North Carolina? I'll hire you.” His aunt gave him the money for a bus ticket and he headed right over there. Now, the point that I really want to make here is that Ted Owens didn't really know... He had native talent but it wasn't developed. But when he began working closely with J.B. Rhine and his family at Duke University and his students and the other researchers there, he developed an appreciation for the 00:10:34 science behind parapsychology, an appreciation for understanding how to cultivate and explain and test his own talents. That's how it happened in that environment. So to answer the initial question, one of the reasons anybody would want to study parapsychology is ultimately to understand themselves, to understand the latent capabilities of their own consciousness. Now, not everybody is going to be a Ted Owens. It's like not everybody is going to be Babe Ruth who plays baseball. But everybody can exhibit 00:11:22 some ability and that ability can be honed, it can be cultivated, it can be useful and helpful. And it surely is an example of our god-given human potential. That's why it should be studied. You know, I went into psychology for that same reason. I remember when I was an undergraduate — here comes another story within a story — when I was an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin in psychology in 1968 and ‘69, my senior year, there was a big student strike on campus. First the black students 00:12:07 went out on strike because they said we need to have Black Studies here at this university. And they were right, they did. Well, at the same time other student groups said we'll go on strike as well and so did the psychology students go out on strike in support of the black students actually and because they had their own demands. That was when the undergraduate Psychology Student Association was formed. I attended the organizational meeting and at that meeting I stood up and I said, “I've entered the field of psychology 00:12:45 because Iwant to understand myself. Self-knowledge, that's what it's about for me.” I was very disappointed that the behavioral program there at the university, like many big midwestern universities, focused a lot on running rats through mazes, not on self-knowledge as much as I would have liked. As a result of that little speech I was elected to be the first vice president of the Psychology Student Association. But for the same reason one would want to and for the same reason I wanted to study parapsychology, it's 00:13:26 really about self-knowledge. So what you're saying is that for our viewers watching the New Thinking Allowed interviews on a regular basis is a way of enhancing their own self-knowledge. That's a pretty big promise. Well, every viewer is going to need to decide for themselves what they're getting out of it. And of course nobody's forcing anybody to watch these videos and nobody's even asking anybody to pay a nickel for them. They're free, although contributions are accepted if you log on to the website of the New Thinking Allowed 00:14:04 Foundation. Well, back to your presentation later today at the Rhine Research Center. What are your thoughts there? What do you think they want to know with regard to the Ted Owens situation? Well, I don't think it's well understood that Ted Owens had quite a deep relationship with J.B. and Louisa Rhine. I hope I'm pronouncing it correctly. I believe it is “Louisa” not “Louisa.” In any case, he describes how they held seances in their home when he first moved to Durham, North Carolina and that he himself was the center of 00:14:48 those seances. He said he didn't go into trance but he was able to create raps or noises. He said it was perhaps the heating system, the radiators. Then he would say, “Okay, two raps for yes, one rap for no.” And they were getting these raps or these clanging sounds. This happened on a number of occasions. I don't think this sort of thing has ever been reported. He also claimed that while he was working for J.B. Rhine they had a conflict, a minor conflict really because Ted Owens was acting as a typist 00:15:27 and a part-time researcher, really a research assistant type of stenographer. He was taking dictation, he was typing, he was preparing the book. He was upset that Rhine wouldn't give him any credit in the book itself. Of course, that was Rhine's decision. And he asked for a raise to boot because he said he was working like twelve hours a day and being paid for eight hours and he didn't get a raise. So, a conflict developed there. But overall he found Rhine to be a wonderful loving man. Both J.B. and Louisa Rhine he 00:16:05 described as sort of substitute parents to him. They invited him to dinner at their house often. He would eat with the family. He said when he went on dates there in Durham he actually... well, I'm tripping over my words because there's so much to the story. He went on dates and Louisa said to him, “Look, I know most of the students at Duke here,” which was a rather expensive university. They have their own cars. They take their dates out in their cars. She said, “We know you don't. If you'd like to you can bring 00:16:42 your dates over to our house. You can sit in our parlor with your dates.” And he would do that. Now, at one point after he had been working I think for a couple of years for J.B. Rhine, Rhine asked him, “Why don't you enroll at Duke?” And Owen said, “It's such an expensive school. I don't have the resources to do that.” And Rhine said, “Don't wor ry. You can get the GI Bill. I'm gonna help you.” And Rhine arranged for him to enroll as a student at Duke. That's when the dating, I think, really picked up. 00:17:20 Owens pointed out that because the parapsychology lab was on what he called the East Campus, it was the girls campus apparently, at those years of the 1940s they had a men’s and a women's campus. He got to eat at the cafeteria with the co-eds and got to know many of them. He was dating them and he said strange things began to happen on these dates. The earrings would disappear, pens would disappear. He said he went on a date with one woman who was wearing gloves. She never took off her gloves but the 00:17:56 gloves disappeared. The Rhines began wondering, what's going on with Ted Owens? Is he stealing these things? Is he subconsciously taking them? Why are they always disappearing? They had other students follow him while he was on his dates and watch him to see what was happening. Now, this is all in effect folklore because none of it has ever been published. But he claims that even while he was being watched these disappearances kept happening. On one occasion he told me that he made a scissors levitate. 00:18:33 Nobody has been able to acknowledge that that happened. You know, when I talked to them of course it was decades after the fact. People there remembered Ted but it was in this context, this ambiance where Rhine was always playing around thinking of new ways to explore psychic functioning that Ted began to unfold his own abilities. So in effect what you're saying is that when people become more and more familiar with the language, with the methods and approaches used in parapsychology it creates a cognitive structure 00:19:17 that enables people to feel more comfortable allowing their own abilities to unfold. That's a very good way to put it. A cognitive structure is very important for people because people feel afraid of this ability. For one thing, it's not socially approved of. In many, many contexts you don't want to talk about it. I can tell you this. Every single parapsychologist I know has stories that when they give a talk or a lecture people will come up and say, “Can I tell you about my experience?” and then they typically will say, “I've 00:19:57 never told anybody else before.” People don't feel safe talking about these things. So simply by putting this material out… I get it. What you're saying is that by putting this material out you're creating a social structure, a cognitive conversation in the community that gives people permission to open up a little bit. You got it. Well, we could go on and on about Ted Owens but let's talk about the people today at the Rhine Research Center where you're going to be talking about him. Surely there'll be 00:20:39 more to talk about than simply Ted's history with J.B. and Louisa Rhine, as important as that is. Well, you're right. The big mystery around Ted Owens actually concerns what happened after he left Duke University and his association with J.B. and Louisa Rhine in the parapsychology laboratory there. That has to do with what he called the Space Intelligences. I've shown in a previous dialogue, if I may call it that, the image I'm gonna show it again of the praying mantis. Ted Owens described these mantis-like creatures Tweeter and 00:21:24 Twitter, is how he described them, who were responsible he felt for the enormous gifts that he exhibited in the 160 or more demonstrations of which I have records in my files. The mystery has always been, well, how did he do these things? We have good documentation that he would send letters to people, including me, but many other people in advance and saying, “I am going to cause a heat wave. I am going to cause a cold wave. I am going to keep this hurricane from protecting you…” not from protecting you, “I'm going to 00:22:06 protect you from the hurricane. I am going to stop this volcano from destroying a village. I am going to cause a sudden storm because I'm angry at you. I am going to cause forest fires.” There were negative things. But many of these things happened including power blackouts, UFO sightings. People can... and I should say now I'm going to link… I'm going to link in the right hand portion of your screen to previous interviews where I've discussed many of these details. Thank you for that. I'm going to link to 00:22:48 those because I don't want to discuss all the details. Now, the real question that comes up is, how did he do it? Was it because he had these invisible hyper spatial entities that he was working with? Was it because of his own native psychokinesis? Was it through precognition, as my good friend Ed May insists. These are still unanswered questions. I can explore it. I can tell you right now my best answer is that it's probably a combination. As tempting as it would be to rule out the idea of the Space Intelligences, 00:23:33 to say that no this is all latent human ability and the Space Intelligences are some sort of a fiction that he developed in order to make himself feel comfortable wielding this kind of power. But it's the sort of power that is the birthright of all humans. Well, yes and no. I think there's a lot to be said for that but at the same time I don't think, even in the absence of any direct evidence, that we can totally dismiss the idea of invisible hyperspatial entities that he's working with. In fact, 00:24:13 as I went over The PK Man, reviewing my book in preparation for the talk I came upon comments written by James Harder. Harder was one of my professors at Berkeley, a lovely man. He was a professor of hydraulic engineering and also he was the research director for a UFO research organization. I don't think it's active any longer but it was at one time one of the major organizations, APRO. A-P-R-O, the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization. His viewpoint was that it would be a mistake to think that Owens was able to do this 00:25:00 based on his own native human ability. He said, no, he had to have had help from some other source that we might think of as extra dimensional or extraterrestrial. Many people would take that point of view. It certainly makes sense to think that us, our small egos, cannot do these things. Now, the problem is of course, we don't know the limits of what we can and can't do. And there's even a deeper problem. I'm glad you mentioned the deeper problem because I think it is time to get into it. The deeper problem 00:25:37 is simply this. We don't know the boundaries of the self. In fact, there's good reason to believe that at the deepest level, the level of the ground of being, the level of pure consciousness, that there's one spirit, there's one self and there's one ground of being and that ground of being encompasses every physical thing, every imaginable thing, every thought. Every thought is all connected. Every particle, every vibration is all the great oneness of everything. I don't think that should ever be forgotten. 00:26:24 Again it brings us once again to mysticism, to the Jewish Kabbalah, to the idea that there is one God, monotheism perhaps. Now, when I say one God I don't mean to say that there aren't... Elohim is the Hebrew word, the heavenly hosts, the many facets and aspects of God. So that the polytheistic religions are also correct in the sense that God has many faces. But underlying it all there is oneness. Even if you're a Buddhist then you think that the oneness is nirvana or pure nothingness. It's still there and it can be a very 00:27:11 dynamic pure nothingness. So at that level when we talk about, is it Ted Owens doing it through himself? Or is it these hyper dimensional Space Intelligences? At one level they are separate, they are distinct or so it would seem. But at another level we are all one. The mystics of every culture have told us that. From my point of view, if you're going into the field of parapsychology in any respect whatsoever, even watching these videos, it's very, very helpful to be mindful of that. The great oneness. I don't know 00:27:58 that we can go much further with this right now. I think this is good preparation for your talk. For our talk. Yes, for our talk. So in closing this video today I'd like to thank you for being with me. It's been my pleasure and I hope we have many more similar conversations. And for those of you watching or listening, thank you as well for being with us.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound 00:00:06 [Music] thinking aloud conversations on the Leading Edge of knowledge and Discovery with psychologist Jeffrey mishlov [Music] hello and welcome I'm Jeffrey meshlove today we are going to look at cultivating psychokinesis from a unique perspective because we'll be exploring the research that I did with a talented psychokinetic subject named Ted Owens as reported in my book the PK man and with me in the studio is Deborah Lynn Katz who has an unusual background as a researcher twice the recipient of the 00:01:01 warkolier award from the international remote viewing Association for an outstanding research proposal she is also the president of the International School of Clairvoyance she is a gifted psychic reader and a remote viewer and the author of several books including you are psychic extraordinary psychic and freeing the genie within welcome Deborah thank you Jeff great to be here it's good to be with you and one of the reasons that we set up this interview together is because you've taken a particular 00:01:37 interest in the PK man and and the training of the PK man yes the first time you talked about Ted Owens I was just fascinated it seemed like such an incredible documented case and you did such a fantastic job writing the whole book and really showing that this wasn't just about taking a person who had these experiences and believing him but you really approached this from a very intensive research perspective what was that like for you well I I worked with Ted for 10 years from 1976 until his death in 00:02:14 1987. I I started that work as a graduate student myself I was in my um late 20s at the time and when the work began and I was very eager and energetic I I first heard about him when I visited Stanford Research Institute Hal put off and Russell Turk had invited me there to learn remote viewing as a matter of fact I did a remote viewing session with them in February of 1976 and at the same time they had this big file of papers and they said this strange fellow Ted Owens has been badgering us and and they said we know 00:02:59 he's got real abilities because uh he ended a drought here in California for us and uh Russell targ said and I wrote back to him and I told him that was a good prediction and he wrote back to me and he said hell no that was no prediction I caused it and then they said but you know we're getting into so much controversy with our research with URI Gallard which had been published in science or nature magazine at the time they were getting a lot of publicity that we can't afford to have another controversial psychic 00:03:35 associated with us so would you mind taking this case on and and they gave me all of their files and uh sort of dumped it in my lap as a way of getting it out of theirs and and there's so much to talk about with him could you give us a few examples of uh the point where you really believe that he may really have these abilities well you know when putoff and Tark told me right off the bat that there was this drought and I knew about the drought it was going on in the Bay Area at the time people were rationing water and uh the 00:04:17 newspapers in Palo Alto that Russell and Hale showed me talked about the drought ended within days of Owen saying he would end the drought but not just that he said I'm going to end it in a way you'll know it was me because I have signatures that you will recognize they will include weird weather he's sleet hail snow and which is very rare in in the Bay Area and uh and he said they'll be UFO sightings as well and power blackouts all of that is part of his signature and that's what happened that's what was reported in the 00:04:58 newspaper so at that time I was already a student of parapsychology and and I have to say it's hard for people to appreciate what it was like back in the 1970s but it seemed as if the research being done in parapsychology was going to change the world there were two things that look like they would change the world one was computers and the other to me was parapsychology and I can look back and say Yes computers did since the 1970s they changed the world the internet was just starting at that point but 00:05:36 progress in parapsychology has been much slower and it's not that the phenomenon aren't real Ted Owens produced uh over 160 demonstrations of his abilities two-thirds of which produce dramatic results but it's more than people can digest and so even now 30 years nearly after his death I'm still talking about it because I think you know people are just starting to have the capacity to appreciate what might be possible with regard to the human mind so can you give us a couple examples now I know you were with him a lot you were 00:06:17 actually at locations with him yes so out of all those examples what are the ones that really stick in your mind where you yourself saw the phenomenon well now to be honest with you Deborah even though I was with him on occasion he dealt with large-scale phenomenons so I wasn't necessarily present when when they occurred um but you were he would call you up and say this is going to happen and this is the way it's going to happen and then it was interesting in the book because you would not just even after it happened 00:06:50 then you would set up a control group yeah can you talk about that for example he told me that he wished to uh produce an effect for me and I I was very happy that he was willing to work with me and I knew that in the uh historical records he had shown the ability to produce UFO sightings I thought that would be neat so I said do that for me and he said okay without waste giving me any time to prepare he said I'm going to make three UFO sightings happen within a hundred mile radius of San Francisco and so 00:07:27 I thought good but how do I know UFO sightings aren't happening everywhere all the time anyway so I contacted a group of fellow graduate students at the University of California San Diego similar Metropolitan Community and I said would you monitor the San Diego area in the next 90 days and we'll use that as a control to see if any UFO sightings occur and there were two significant sightings at least two in the Bay Area not three as he had promised but two and none in the San Diego area so that was a 00:08:05 control but in retrospect this kind of research does not lend itself well to the experimental method at least that demonstrates that that you were trying I did yes I did what I could as as a graduate student but you know I couldn't publish any of these results in any scientific journal they it was not possible to get the proper statistical database regarding the kinds of events he worked with power blackouts hurricanes tornadoes hot spells cold spells sporting events well the sporting events probably come the closest to 00:08:49 those that might be analyzable in a statistical manner but then you would follow up you would contact newspapers and radio stations to to find out exactly what happened with the weather it wasn't like you just took his word that it worked well as a matter of fact he did a lot of that for me he'd say I'm going to concentrate on this event or that event and he'd send me the newspaper clippings I would have and I still have postmarked letters from him on a particular date saying I'm going to cause this event using my psychokinetic 00:09:25 powers in conjunction with my space intelligence friends invisible other dimensional beings who hover over the Earth in a large gigantic UFO and then he would send me the newspaper clippings showing that these things had in fact occurred he just cut them right out of the newspaper they're easy to verify they're still on the record all these documents I have several file drawers full of these documents so he was easy to work with he was trained in parapsychology as a research assistant for JB rein back in the 1940s so he 00:10:04 understood the importance of documenting what he could do he wanted nothing more than to have a group of supportive scientists working with him to harness his abilities for the betterment of humanity and did he ever get that I mean he had you studying him but did he ever get his dream of people saying hey let's come together and he had a small cotery of True Believers who supported him financially some people were working class people who gave whenever they could and there were were occasional wealthy benefactors 00:10:39 but by and large no certainly not from the government and I I was the closest contact uh in the scientific Community there might have been one or two other individuals who took them seriously but by and large people were either in total disbelief that someone could have these abilities or they were frightened I I once organized a gathering of scientists to look at the data and I arranged for the famous UFO researcher J Allen heineck to come to that event and he got there and he said I wouldn't touch Ted 00:11:19 Owens with a 10-foot pole even though he had shown an ability to produce UFO sightings he said whatever he's doing it's a product of the unconscious mind he's a Loose Cannon and I want nothing to do with him and that that was a friendly response and as far as being a loose cannon could you talk about that would you agree with that assessment he was a very difficult personality to deal with but I think anybody who put themselves out the way he did who said I can do this watch me you know if you don't believe me just 00:11:57 watch and he would do it but people got angry at him and and they said you're a phony or you're doing the work of the devil in fact he was a Healer back in the 1950s do using hypnosis for healing in the American Medical Association tried to put him out of business it was a big blow to him personally and there were many letters of testimony as as to how people were healed but after the AMA shut him down I think he developed a bitterness inside and a desire to teach people lessons when they treated 00:12:35 him rudely I think the one lesson I've learned from all of that is to treat everybody with respect because you never know who might have psychokinetic abilities and I once heard you talk about an incident where he got upset with you and you felt that he may have had an impact yes this happened Deborah because after this amazing UFO sighting that occurred as part of the San Francisco demonstration in 1976 where he told me he'll create a UFO it will be seen by hundreds of witnesses it will be photographed a photograph of it will be 00:13:16 published on the front page of one of your local newspapers and that happened but he had also told me he would create three UFO sightings and at that point in time there were two so he was on the phone with me and he was going on about what a great job he had done producing this incredible the best attested UFO sighting in history at that point probably although it never got into the annals of the UFO people but I said to him well Ted you haven't done everything that you said you were going to do 00:13:53 and at that point he got very angry and he slammed the phone down and within I was feeling fine at the time but within half an hour I began to get a sore throat and you know how you get that feeling like uh oh I'm going to get a cold this is like my throat is so scratchy I know what's going to happen now and I was expecting it was going to get bad and then about an hour later or so I was feeling pretty sick he called me up and without explaining anything he said Jeffrey I'm sorry I promise I will never 00:14:31 do that again and within 15 minutes everything lifted I felt fine that's very interesting yeah so one of the things I thought would be really interesting to talk about a lot of times conversations like this get into did it really happen and the proof but let's say everything he was saying was true and that he was Guided by this alien intelligence can you tell us because he's no longer here so you're the only you're the voice for him now what were these alien beings like can you give us a physical description well he described 00:15:07 them as if you were to see them physically as being like giant grasshoppers and they made High spit pitch squeaky sounds and he called them Tweeter and Twitter he also said that they had the ability to appear to you in different forms and that they could appear to you as an energy being so you wouldn't have to you know if you would be frightened by the idea of a giant grasshopper or praying mantis kind of insectoid creature um that's what he said they were like and he said they sat in their big giant 00:15:43 invisible UFO above the Earth and they had a big like TV screen that they looked at and he would project mental images to them and they'd see it on that big screen and then they could you know create whatever effect he asked them to to produce he said that they had been watching him his whole life that as a child he had shown a lot of psychic potential including levitations but that they arranged to abduct him and operate on his brain and give him extraordinary powers so that they could do some research and see how the human 00:16:24 race would respond to a person like him so he would project a mental image out to them showing them what he wanted to have happen and then how would they communicate back to him well he claimed that during his life he held many different professions he was a jazz drummer he was a high-speed typist he was hired as a idea man via railroad he was a shorthand expert he was a bullwhip artist in a nightclub act and he claimed that they guided him to have all these different professions so that his mind would be 00:17:08 flexible enough to be able to communicate with them telepathically I can't say much more than that but I what I would like to do since you have taken an interest Debra in the training program and have actually listened to some of his tapes that are available to people from the training that I took with him in 1986. maybe you have some feeling for it well you know I've I've been listening to those tapes and I find I fall asleep pretty much as soon as he says you're going to go into a deep sleep I go into 00:17:44 a deep sleep but what I can say is for the first couple ones as soon as the tape started I started to have imagery just bombarded by images which doesn't tend to happen to that extent when I listen to a lot of audio programs and the images were very unusual I'd say they would have been disturbing they didn't totally surprise me given that I had read the book but the just images like Angry there was an angry dog that had its back to me and then he turned his head and just kind of looked at me in an arrogant way and then kept going 00:18:19 and there was another and beans that look like strange animals like half turtles half Eagles just strange thing and the thing that stood out was that there seemed to be some kind of awareness with them you know images don't usually clairvoyant images are just usually just like watching TV you know you're they're not turning their heads and looking back at you when you watch TV some kind of awareness so there's just a lot of this and some of it I might consider lower astral type what you would think of just kind of a 00:18:52 whole bunch of garbage type things but what what did now he had a lot of different phenomenon happening besides for all this in fact he claimed that he was being hounded by Poltergeist activity around him and uh I I believe him when he said that his family members attested to much the saying that there were always strange things going on I'll even say this I had it one time a student working with me to organize all the files and papers and the student who had a filing system and he took all of this home with him to work on it and he 00:19:30 reported back to me that one night he had left everything and he went to bed and when he got up in the morning back in his living room where all of this material had been kept it was scattered all over like a poltergeist had come and just thrown everything around so you know dealing with psychokinesis it's it's like this irrepressible force and you don't always know what it's going to do it's often very unpleasant for people who have spontaneous psychokinetic activities going on around them very few 00:20:05 people are good at controlling it and then on top of all of that you have a strong segment of our population the fundamentalist Christian Community in particular who would say this is all diabolic it's the work of the devil and I think that your imagery of the Angry Dog reminded me of many of images I've seen at temples in Asia of uh figures that I would call demonic not demonic uh the meaning is a little different but it's a powerful psychic Force associated with the Devas or deities not always positive 00:20:47 but not necessarily evil in the Christian sense of uh satanic uh and and he would sometimes hear growling noises can you talk about some of what he reported and also was it ever verified well the only verification was from his own family members who were with him at the time and uh indeed they they attested that these things were going on growling noises like sightings of creatures and uh so on it was just part of his world and um did this disturb him at all yeah I think he was bothered by it I think he 00:21:26 didn't always get enough sleep at night I think you know for I don't encourage people to cultivate psychokinesis in general I think it may be a little bit more than most people can handle I know in your case I thought giving your background as a student of psychic lifelong student of psychic functioning and a person who seemed to have a I would say maybe a spiritual or a soul calling to explore this it it felt okay but you're one of the rare people whom I've ever thought ought to ought to look into cultivating 00:22:04 psychokinesis yeah and I it's a shame I haven't been able to stay awake for any of his tapes so maybe I know you've listened to them several times can you tell us what is the core of the training can you give us a couple techniques that you gave you the training is all I have to say very positive it involves a lot of positive affirmations it involves many visualizations of being in communion with nature being in communion with the deity having sacred spaces one can go into to communicate with nature and with 00:22:40 with a Divine being um it involved working out Kinks and wrinkles in your own personality and being able to see the world clearly and to without having any cloudiness in in your understanding of things so all of that was a hundred percent positive and when I asked him about it and I said well are you using hypnosis to help cultivate these abilities he said well that's only the beginning because he said what he was really doing is using his own psychokinetic abilities in the training with the help of the space 00:23:18 intelligences that you needed their cooperation and he said most of what was going on in this training was coming from them and from his own PK which is the parapsychological abbreviation for psychokinesis and and did he talk about why him why would the space aliens choose him for this he claimed he was the first person they had found since Moses who could wield this kind of energy who was able to handle it um and frankly you know knowing the history of parapsychology as I do and as my co-author from of the original draft of 00:24:01 the book D Scott rogo was a real expert on the history of parapsychology there doesn't appear to be anyone else who has been studied who who has exhibited that range of large-scale phenomenon although it's not unknown and say the literature of shamanism I'm inclined to think since we only have a minute or so left Deborah to to wrap things up to say that this this is a natural human Talent this is something that someday in the distant future many people will probably be able to cultivate and express and uh that we can 00:24:39 integrate this deep mysterious Talent into our technological Society I think eventually that will happen well and for all we know since I really believe that our psychic abilities are happening to us all the time without our awareness it's very possible that the same things he was doing was happening is we're already doing this just subconsciously J.B Ryan used to point out that every time we of our own volition do something like I can raise my hand that's psychokinesis that's mind over matter right there that to be able to do that 00:25:16 outside of the body is uh you know the next level but it's it's only a Step Beyond what we all do all the time anyway yeah and Ted the one thing that strikes me when I listen to him is that he seemed to have such a sense of confidence was he always that confident about what he was doing well I'm told in the shamanistic literature that that sense of confidence is necessary that you have to totally believe really really believe that you can do it and and that's what makes it happen well our time is up Deborah but thank 00:25:54 you so much for being willing to share this half hour with me on on this most unusual and I think important topic yes and I hope people will go out and read the PK man it definitely deserves to be read in front cover to cover thanks Deborah and

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound 00:00:00 Thinking Allowed, conversations on the leading edge of knowledge and discovery with psychologist Jeffrey Mishlove. Hello and welcome. I'm Jeffrey Mishlove. And I'm Jeffrey Mishlove, too. But you could think of me as Jeffrey Mishlove's alter ego, if you like. Our topic today is The PK Man, but this is a most unusual episode concerning The PK Man. Now, for those of you viewers who are unfamiliar with the story of The PK Man, let me remind you that I've written a book on this subject. Well, it came out in the year 2000, 22 years ago, but it's still available. 00:01:10 And there are many interviews and monologues on the New Thinking Allowed channel relating to The PK Man. You can just do a search function because there are a good five other videos like that. And as a matter of fact, I'm going to link to some of them right here in case you haven't seen them. I think it's probably been a while since I've talked about The PK Man. Now, what makes today's presentation unique is what I'm calling the return of The PK Man. It started just a few days ago. I think it was the 12th of December when I received an email message from one of our 00:01:58 viewers in Germany, and since I don't have his permission to mention his name, although I imagine he wouldn't mind, I won't mention his name now. But I'm going to put on my glasses, I'm going to read from his email message to me. And he wrote, Hello Dr. Mishlove, I first heard one of your YouTube videos years ago. And since then I've been listening and learning from you and your guests. I write to you to let you know about a visitation that might be of interest to you since it is a message for you. 00:02:43 Some months ago I was in my daily meditation routine. That day I had a deep meditation time. After 30 minutes of meditation I felt this presence around me. It felt angry and even hostile. I allowed myself to feel this presence because it had a human touch as if a human consciousness was behind it. After a while the angriness and hostility of this presence diminished and it felt almost approachable and inviting. After a while a face appeared in my mind's eye very clearly. It was the face of Ted Owens, better known 00:03:33 as the PK man, that surprised me and I almost discarded it as a fabrication of my mind because I know the story of Ted Owens. I have watched several of your videos about him which were very interesting. After the image appeared in my mind I engaged with it. And to my surprise it talked and it had a message for you Dr. Mishlove. It said, tell Jeffrey Mishlove that I know he has questions for me. He is welcome to ask his question using meditation as a vehicle of communication if he is ready and willing. 00:04:18 I'll be waiting. Tell him that it is fine with me if he wants to share this experience with his audience as he wishes. That ends the quote from Ted Owens that came in meditation. Now the viewer goes on, I believe that the hostility and angriness I felt when he visited me is a reminiscence of his experience in the material world. All the misunderstanding and lack of acceptance of his abilities as a PK man. He wanted to be taken seriously because his deeper desire was to serve others. But of course, as you also say in your interviews, 00:05:04 at the end of his life he was bitter and felt excluded because of this. So Dr. Mishlove, I think you have an invitation to engage with Ted Owens. The question is if you want to take it. I feel there is no rush on the part of Owens. You are free to choose and engage or not. And even if you start a conversation you have the chance to stop at any time. It has taken me some time to share this with you because I wanted to be sure it was not a fabrication of my senses. I believe this is real. That ends the substance of the email. 00:05:52 Of course, it raises many more questions than it answers. Do I really wish to communicate with Ted Owens? And if so, what about? Well, it occurred to me after pondering for a while that we are facing a very perilous situation, probably we are closer to the possibility of a nuclear war today than we have been since the Cuban Missile Crisis back in the 1960s. The world is in perilous shape. And so yes, if Ted Owens with the amazing powers he demonstrated, I pointed out in my book that he performed in his lifetime over 160 demonstrations of – well, you could 00:06:44 say there were psychokinesis, you could say they were precognition. In any case, he said he was going to cause very unlikely events. For example, hot spells in the middle of winter, cold spells in the middle of summer and controlling hurricanes and also UFO sightings. I began to wonder, can I reach out to Ted Owens in meditation? And actually, I have to say this morning I felt like I had established contact with Ted Owens. In fact, we had, I guess I would say, a dialogue. Now, you've got to realize I haven't attempted 00:07:31 to do this since Ted Owens died in 1987. But let me fill you in a little bit on the context of the meditation just this morning. I've been feeling very strong emotions about what's happening in Ukraine, particularly the wanton destruction of the power system. It seems as if millions of people in Ukraine are going to have to face winter without adequate power, without gas perhaps, who knows what amount of food. So the first thought that occurred to me since Ted Owens has a reputation for creating heat 00:08:15 spells in the middle of winter, would it be possible to have a warm winter in the Ukraine? It would save lives. It would only be good if the people who are without power, whose utilities have been wantonly destroyed by an invading army, wouldn't it be nice if they didn't have to suffer a brutal winter? In my meditation Ted Owens shared with me that the way this would work is that he would – what he normally did when he was alive – would communicate that desire to the invisible space intelligences with whom he works. 00:09:07 He called them tweeter and twitter. He said that they were like two giant praying mantises and that if you could see them – well, he said they're pure energy beings, but sometimes they do take a physical form and they look like giant praying mantises and they hover over the earth in an invisible giant UFO. I was never sure whether to take this seriously or not. It seemed like a figment of his imagination, very likely, but a figment that would enable him to activate his own innate psychokinetic abilities. 00:09:44 Well, maybe or maybe not. He claimed that they watched him since childhood because he had the kind of nervous system that could interact with them at their level and manipulate their very complex symbolic system. He used to create what he called PK maps, images of what he wanted to see happen. He would send those images to them, he said telepathically. Well, lo and behold, he would send out announcements to scientists and then newspaper clippings showing the very unusual events he said he would cause that actually happened. 00:10:24 So, in my meditation I said, let's do this, let's set this up. Let's have a hot summer – no, let me rephrase that. Let's have a hot winter, an unusually warm winter in Ukraine this winter. He said, yes, he could do that. He would create a demonstration. We can see because there are – I'm going to show them on the screen – there are already predictions for what the standard weather temperature patterns in Kiev, for example, could be, or Kiev as the news announcers call it these days. So, over the next 90 days we'll be able to 00:11:09 compare the actual temperatures with the forecasts and I'm sure the forecasts are based on averages from previous years. So, it will be a test. It's very important to understand that Ted Owens was once an assistant to J.B. Rine in the 1940s at Duke University, so he understood the scientific requirements in parapsychology. It wasn't enough for him to go around proclaiming himself as the great PK man, the ambassador on Earth of extraterrestrial or extradimensional intelligences, called the space intelligences. 00:11:54 He wanted to prove it scientifically, to demonstrate it in his own way. Now, back in the days when he was alive I studied his work for some ten years. I met him in 1976. He died in 1987. So, for 11 years I followed his career in real time and yeah, he was the real deal as far as I can tell. But now, since he's been dead for what, 35 years, is it possible that he can continue producing these enormous demonstrations from the other side? There are philosophers, such as my friends Stephen Braude and Michael Seduth, who would 00:12:42 say no matter how successful this demonstration is, how do we know that you, Jeffrey Mishlove, aren't the one who is causing these effects? Maybe you're telepathing to the space intelligences or you're using precognition or psychokinesis to produce the effects, assuming they do in fact occur. But in response to that, let me say I have no interest in psychokinetic weather control. I have no interest in doing the things that Ted Owens does and did. And furthermore, I have no history of ever having performed at that level. 00:13:28 So, it's very unlikely it would be me. Ted Owens was in fact unique in the history of paranormal research. I don't know a single example of another individual in the history of this field. And I've looked into the history going back thousands of years of somebody who has performed over and over again demonstration after demonstration, well over a hundred and fifty demonstrations publicly. Now, yeah, you can find examples in the Bible of the prophet Elijah, for example, but that's only one or two. 00:14:10 And let's face it, the prophet Elijah was a rare person even in biblical history. So, if the experiment, this little, it's not a real serious experiment yet but it's a step, it's what you would call a preliminary study. If the preliminary study is successful, if we can look back 90 days from now and say, hey, the weather in Ukraine was unusually hot, significantly hot from a statistical point of view this winter, I would regard that as a successful outcome. So, now we have a real-time test starting today, which is the 28th of December 2022, 00:15:01 starting today to see, and it's measurable. We know what the expected weather forecasts are for Kiev and Odessa. I haven't been able to find them for other cities in the Ukraine, but we'll check. We can compare them to the actual measurements that occur. My hope is that this little project will save lives. Now, since the war is going on and since Ted Owens has a track record of doing many more things than just creating a heat wave in the middle of winter, it has occurred to me what else could be done helpfully here. 00:15:41 I am a pacifist. I don't believe in war. I'm horrified by what is happening in Ukraine. I don't like it one bit that the Russian government has decided to invade a sovereign nation and do it in such a heartless, brutal manner. And at the same time, I'm sympathetic to the Russian soldiers. They are pawns in this game, too. While I understand the Ukrainian military wants to kill them because they're invaders, I'm not in favor of that. I am not. I do want to see this war end. I do want to see the threat of nuclear war diminished completely, but I'm not in favor 00:16:34 of the Ukrainian defenders killing the Russian invaders. But what could be done here? Let's think about this carefully because Ted Owens has an interesting history in this regard when I mean to say he was passionate about wanting to do good. Now, he didn't always, if you study his record, you'll see that there were deaths, there were airplane crashes, there were horrible things that occasionally happened. And throughout my work with him I was very disturbed by those things and I challenged him on them. 00:17:12 But it does seem to me that it might be possible to help bring this terrible conflict to an end through what Ted Owens used to call poltergeist activity. You see, his demonstrations were accompanied by all sorts of bizarre phenomenon. Creatures would appear, UFOs would appear, there would be unusual lightning strikes, there would be power blackouts. So what I'm suggesting in addition to the weather, which is measurable – we know what the weather forecasts are, so we can compare them statistically with the actual weather 00:17:51 measurements. However, it's also true that there likely to be news accounts of unusual events that occur in the battlefield. I wouldn't mind it if there were strange weather occurrences or strange poltergeist activity that somehow slowed down the military progress of the invading army. So I know as we speak, people say there are 200,000 recruits, young Russian men who are going into the war probably without adequate training and without adequate equipment and are likely to be slaughtered. And I don't want to see that slaughter, to be honest. 00:18:38 I feel that the Russian people are as much a victim of this war as the Ukrainian people, in my estimation. So if there was, for example, particularly severe weather as the invading army approaches that would prevent them from even entering Ukraine, I would regard those events while not part of a formal study because you can't really measure the statistical significance of that. But if it should occur for some strange, inexplicable reasons, I would consider that a beneficial side effect of this experiment and would be 00:19:25 consistent with the sorts of things that Ted Owens has been known for in the past. Absolutely, if somehow the Ukrainian forces are unable to kill as many invading soldiers, I wouldn't mind that as long as the invading soldiers are induced by other means, that is called the paranormal means, to leave Ukraine. I think the sovereignty of Ukraine should be respected. I'm in favor of Ukraine recovering the territory that has been lost to war, but I'm not really – my political interests are irrelevant to this experiment. 00:20:15 The goal is to save the world from the possibility of an escalating conflict that could get even worse. And if that can be done through unseasonable weather, perhaps extremely harsh winter conditions preventing the invading army from moving forward, that will be fine. That will be consistent with this experiment. Or as I mentioned, poltergeist activity influencing the munitions, frankly, on both sides, that would be consistent with this experiment as well. But particularly with regard to the aggressors. 00:20:59 It's entirely possible when you set up an experiment like this that we can look back in 90 days toward the end of March in 2023 and say, boy, Mishlov was really deluded about that one. He got swept up into some sort of a fantasy about what might happen. Conversely, we might look back and say it appears as if the PK man has returned from the grave. Well, that leaves us with a lot to ponder. I want to thank you very much for being with me. And I want to thank you very much for being with me. Thank you.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound 00:00:00 Thinking Allowed, conversations on the leading edge of knowledge and discovery with psychologist Jeffrey Mishlove. Hello and welcome. I'm Jeffrey Mishlove. And if you're familiar with my monologues, you'll know that I'm Jeffrey Mishlove also. So in a funny way, this is both a monologue and a dialogue because I'm essentially dialoguing with myself. Today is an interim report on the study that I announced last December 28th. It's a very unusual study because I'm employing the agency of a deceased individual, Mr. Ted 00:01:10 Owens, to control weather in Ukraine and related areas. If you haven't yet viewed the previous video, you really have to do it now. In fact, even if you have viewed it, I would recommend that you do it now because this video will not make sense unless you understand the previous video in which I announced the project about which I am about to present an interim report. So on the upper right hand of your screen, I will link to it. Now, I have to tell you, if you're watching this on a mobile device, you may not see the 00:01:55 link. But if you have a desktop or a laptop computer, you should be able to link directly to it. If you can't get that link, let me recommend that you go into the Listings for New Thinking Allowed or simply do a Google search on the title of this video, which is called The Return of the PK Man. In any case, what I will do is summarize briefly what I announced in that video, which is that a viewer had reached out to me and told me that in meditation they had contacted the deceased Ted Owens who died in 1987 and that 00:02:38 he had a message for me that I could contact him myself in meditation and that he knew I had questions. So I endeavored to reach out to him in meditation and the result was the announcement I made on December 28. In that announcement, I basically said I'm very concerned about the war in Ukraine and the fact that the world is closer now to a potential nuclear holocaust than it has ever been. In fact, since December 28, I have learned that the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, they have something called the Doomsday Clock and 00:03:24 they pushed it to 90 seconds before midnight, which is closer to Doomsday than it has ever been. The reason, of course, is the rise of authoritarian governments, international stability, and of course the war in Ukraine. So in my meditation with Ted Owens, and of course it's not as if I have written conversation notes from the meditation, the recording that I made on December 28 was the most immediate record of it, but the upshot of it was because he had a track record in producing warm weather 00:04:07 in winter, amongst other things. I should note that I have in my files over 150 historical demonstrations that he produced during his lifetime. In any case, producing heat waves in the middle of winter was one such thing. He called himself the PK man and claimed that he produced these things through psychokinesis. In the meditation he said, yes, that's what he would do. He would produce warm weather in winter. Now, here's the dramatic thing. Within days of my announcement on December 28, on January 1st, an enormous heat wave 00:04:52 hit Europe unlike anything that's ever happened before, which is, in my opinion, typical of the Ted Owens demonstrations and even more so. The Washington Post quoted a meteorologist or climatologist named Maximiliano Herrera who specializes in extreme climate events. He actually wrote, this is totally insane. He's absolutely crazy. He said, this is the most extreme climate event that has ever taken place in Europe. Now, here's the rub. Most of the changes took place in other countries than Ukraine, although in my mind the test 00:05:43 was set up specifically for Ukraine. I'll come back to that. What happened is that pretty much all of Europe, if you can believe this, like a thousand temperature records were broken on one day. It was just amazing. The upshot of that is that according to one report in the oilprice.com website, the war in Ukraine will be shortened because of the weather. The reason for that is twofold. First of all, apparently, according to many analysts, it was Putin's hope that because much of Europe is dependent on Russian oil and 00:06:31 natural gas these days, that their dependency would cause the NATO allies in Europe to go soft on Ukraine, whereas Margaret Thatcher once said to go wobbly, go wobbly on Ukraine because they need Russian gas and oil. But due to the warm weather, it turns out that the price of gas and oil dropped to levels that hadn't been seen since before the Ukraine war began. The nations in Europe weren't really dependent upon Russian gas and oil at all. In fact, their stockpiles have increased and on top of that they're getting liquid natural 00:07:20 gas imported from the United States and elsewhere. That robbed one source of pressure on the European nations, but furthermore, because the price of natural gas and oil dropped – these are Russia's biggest exports – the revenues that Putin supposedly is counting on to prosecute the war are greatly diminished. So that's another benefit. Now from a parapsychological point of view, I have to call this an example of displacement because the idea of creating this enormous heat wave in the rest of Europe outside of 00:08:08 Ukraine wasn't in my original intention or in my original plan, although one could say it's totally consistent with it, it was in the spirit of it, but not the letter. So from a scientific point of view, analyzing the displacements becomes very difficult. I could tell you emotionally it makes perfect sense to me that Owens, from his perspective in the afterlife, would be able to see that this was the right move to make. But from a scientific point of view, you could certainly argue a skeptic would argue, a friendly 00:08:49 skeptic would argue, that this isn't what you specified in the original presentation on December 28th. So it shouldn't count at all. You could say it was in the spirit, but it wasn't in the letter. So in effect, it's a post hoc analysis on my part to suggest that it's a displacement effect that really belongs as part of the experiment. Now, this gets very interesting because when you're dealing with real life psychic situations, especially with a figure like Ted Owens, who alive in my estimation may have well been 00:09:35 from a psychokinetic point of view producing hundreds, well over 150 large scale demonstrations of his abilities, and not all of which were successful as a matter of fact. Only about two-thirds of them were. Nevertheless, I would say that his record is unmatched. There is no one in the history of paranormal studies going back to ancient times. To my knowledge, and I think I'm fairly knowledgeable, if there's a better example I'd like to know who has consistently, decade after decade, demonstrated these kinds of phenomena, reached 00:10:18 out to scientists for the purpose of showing empirical documentation of such abilities. It's a sad thing that he was largely ignored in his own lifetime. But it appears as if he's endeavoring to still do this from the afterlife, which from my point of view is one of the best possible demonstrations of afterlife existence. I'll explain that briefly. It's simply because if you have a ghost, a spirit from the afterlife coming back to prove that they really exist, the strongest evidence of that that we know is the chess game from 00:11:06 beyond the grave. By the way, I'm going to link to my interview with Verna Nepi about that case. It's very strong. Where Geza Meroxy, a deceased chess master, died in 1951 and came back from the grave to play a game of chess with a living chess master, Victor Korknoi. The thing is, you can't repeat that experiment because today computers are so powerful that when a skeptic would argue that, oh, somebody with a strong computer could imitate that, could reproduce that, how do we know that it wasn't the medium or whoever was involved 00:11:49 didn't cheat somehow? However, a stronger test would be somebody with unmatched psychic abilities like Ted Owens coming back and producing those from the grave. You see, a computer can't replicate that. In fact, no living human being has ever come close to replicating that and certainly not me of all people, even though I took Ted Owens' training. But I have no interest in psychokinesis. I have no history of being able to produce phenomena of that sort. I'm really interacting as a person who befriended 00:12:33 Ted Owens and studied him for eleven years from 1976 when I met him until his death in 1987. And of course, I wrote the book about him. So I have a strong connection. I've even produced multiple videos about him. If you check the listings on the New Thinking Allowed channel, you'll find those. Now, I have shared some of this with my colleagues in parapsychology here in the United States who are maybe even more sympathetic to the NATO allies and their support of Ukraine than I am. I want the war to end. 00:13:15 But there are some of my friends who have suggested if Owens can move hurricanes and tornadoes around and you'll find events like that in the files that I have, why couldn't he just bring a tornado to destroy the Kremlin and put an end to the war that way or do other things? I'm a pacifist, as I've pointed out. I'm not interested in becoming a partisan in this war, that is to say, a combat partisan in the war. I'm not interested in combat. But my good friend has pointed out to me, to my surprise, that the Dalai Lama, one of 00:14:01 the most peaceful, gentle men on earth, from my point of view, although I've heard some people criticize him, is not a pacifist. He feels that there are occasions when you can end a war by acting decisively and employing force. If the Dalai Lama would like to comment on this experiment, I would certainly like to hear what he has to say. Any viewers out there who are connected with the Dalai Lama, feel free to reach out to him for his opinion. Some have suggested that if Ted Owens could use whatever enormous powers he may have to 00:14:46 end the war more quickly, that would be a good thing. But for my part, I'm doing a pilot study that should last about 90 days, about to the end of March. The point of it is, was simply to see could he demonstrably, statistically cause a heatwave in Ukraine in the middle of winter to help the poor people there who have their power cut off by the heartless dictator in Russia who seems to care not how many of his own people die in the war and certainly not how many civilians in Ukraine are being hurt by 00:15:28 his actions. According to one commentator I heard recently, Putin just wants to destroy Ukraine as a nation completely so it can be reincorporated into Russia. And of course, I oppose that. But at this point, I want to mention that there is a statistical analysis regarding the weather in Ukraine. I'm going to show you a graph right now where you can see 33 days, as I recall, from the day after my previous announcement. So December 29th through January 30th, we're looking at the actual weather and I'm comparing 00:16:12 it to the average daily weather going back five years prior. So from 2018 basically through 2022 and we're comparing that to the current weather. And what you see is a dramatic difference. The chart shows that when you match day per day roughly two-thirds of the time the weather was warmer and in fact, the historical daily average for that period of time is below freezing. It's something like 29.8 degrees and the average during the most recent 33-day period that I'm citing for which I have evidence that comes 00:17:02 incidentally from the Institute of Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA, provides this data through the US government. And it shows that the average has jumped up four degrees well above freezing across the entire country of Ukraine, across 27 different weather stations there. It's like a four degree increase which is quite substantial going from below freezing to above freezing. So those are the raw statistics right now. It would be complicated to do a statistical analysis to come up with a probability figure 00:17:44 because the data is a time series data and it's what we'd say autocorrelated both by time and by location. So all of that has to be sorted out before I can give you a probability statistic. But if you look at that graph, it's pretty clear that everything is moving significantly in my view in the right direction. Now, there's one more issue I'd like to bring up before I close this monologue dialogue and that is what if Putin makes good on his threat to employ nuclear weapons? He's been hinting and hinting about it for most of the year right now. 00:18:32 Ted Owens claims, when I asked him about how does he perform his psychokinesis, that actually he's in telepathic contact with invisible aliens in a UFO, in an invisible UFO. He calls them the space intelligences and he claims that these invisible aliens, if you could see them, they're manted creatures and there are two of them. He calls them tweeter and twitter. Just as a side note, I'm going to be releasing very soon an interview with Dennis McKenna, an ethnobotanist who was very interested in psychoactive plants and did some incredible 00:19:18 psychonautic explorations with his brother, the late Terrence McKenna. At one point, when Dennis is describing their explorations, he believes under the influence of psilocybin that he's communicating with manted beings in a UFO. That's a side note. I just thought it's interesting, but there is a lot of folklore, let's call it, regarding these manted beings. I'll leave it at that for now. The main point I want to get into is simply this. There is a real history of UFOs interfering with nuclear missile launch sites, both in 00:20:03 the United States and Russia. I have no idea whether those UFOs that were sighted above the missile launch sites and the sites went down. What was that all about? Does it have any relationship to the space intelligences that Ted Owens refers to? Of course, if you read my book, The PK Man, you'll see that Owens' ostensible connections with UFOs seems to be quite tangible. There was a day when I was testing this claim back in 1976 in December and Ted Owens called me up on the phone and said, Jeffrey, I can feel it coming. 00:20:45 This is going to be really big. A UFO is going to appear within 100 miles or so of San Francisco. It'll be seen by hundreds of people. It'll be photographed. The photograph will be published on the front page of one of your local newspapers. I've told this story many times because, just a few days later, the article appeared in the front page of the Berkeley Gazette. It was about a UFO that appeared over Sonoma State College, as it was known at the time where the art department had a pilot named 00:21:23 Stephen Polesky who had an art form of smoke trailing out the back of his plane, he made designs in the air. The whole art department was out there with their cameras and video cameras photographing this when a UFO appeared right in his airspace. It was seen from the air and the ground and by hundreds of people watching this event, it was photographed. The photograph was published in the Berkeley Gazette, as I say, and the videotape was shown on the Channel 9 Evening News in San Francisco. I have always felt there's something to Ted 00:22:06 Owens' claim that he is connected with occupants of UFOs. If those UFO occupants are capable of deactivating nuclear missile sites, then I hereby call on Ted Owens to use that capability if he has it when it is needed. It may well be needed and I hope we don't come to that point. I will say this one other really striking event in my history with Ted Owens occurred on Christmas Eve 1985 when I received a phone call from Ted Owens. He told me, Jeffrey, this is the most important phone call you will ever receive. 00:22:58 You have to warn the US government not to launch the next space shuttle because if they do, my UFOs are going to knock it out of the sky. Well, I was horrified by that and of course I felt helpless. The US government wouldn't listen to me. I have never had any relationship with the US government, with NASA or with the military. I've been a conscientious objector all my life. My only relationship with the government is to pay taxes and to receive at this point in my life social security. However, I was shocked to my core about three 00:23:46 weeks later in January 1986 when the Challenger space shuttle exploded. It's what drove me to try and learn more about Ted Owens to take his training course. When I took it, just for the record, he asked me, what do you want to do with this ability? I said, I'm certainly not interested in doing the things that you have done, manipulating the weather, calling UFOs down, etc. My interest is simply to become a better communicator to the world at large about the realities of psychic phenomena and esoteric culture. 00:24:30 I suppose in that regard, since I'm here right now, many, many years later, I've been successful in that regard but I want to make it clear that I in no way consider myself responsible for any of the events that are taking place in this demonstration. That's being done as far as I can tell by Ted Owens from the afterlife. Not by me, certainly not by me. In any case, I bring up the story of the Challenger explosion because it does suggest that in this terrible conflict, the kind of abilities that Owens was able to demonstrate while alive. 00:25:23 It's not clear to me, especially with regard to the Challenger disaster, whether that was psychokinesis or UFO aliens or precognition or there's always a possibility it was simply pure chance. You might claim that all of the phenomenon that occurred on January 1 of this year is just another coincidence and I agree, it might be. I can't conclusively prove that the deceased Ted Owens was the cause of all of these things. My goal in order to validate the idea that Owens is returning from the afterlife would 00:26:05 be to see if from the afterlife he can produce another series of over a hundred demonstrations the way he did when he was alive. This particular demonstration concerning the situation in Ukraine is a pilot study. I will continue to monitor it for another 60 days or so and I'll report on it again. Thank you for listening. Thank you for being with me and thank you for being with me too. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

in-person and online us college degree programs in the topics we cover here visit their website at cs.edu [Music] [Applause] thinking aloud conversations on the Leading Edge of knowledge and Discovery with psychologist Jeffrey [Music] mishlove hello and welcome I'm Jeffrey Mish love this will be an unusual interview today we'll be talking about the PK man which is a book I wrote uh in 00:01:03 regard to a 10-year study I did with an unusual individual who had psychokinetic abilities with me is Professor Steven Browdy whom I've had the pleasure of interviewing many times in the past Dr Browdy is the author of course of the limits of influence psychokinesis and the philosophy of science he's a specialist in macro psychokinesis in fact I've interviewed him about about that uh for a series of three interviews we did another interview on the thoughtography of Ted serios and another interview on poltergeist so Steve and I 00:01:41 have quite a history of discussing psychokinesis together and I'm going to turn the floor over to him soon and he'll be interviewing me about the PK man today welcome Steve thanks Jeff good to be here again it's a pleasure to be with you and uh you have a question for me I do I mean the case of the PK man is so remarkable it covers so many of the topics that you and I have discussed privately and also in the series uh the limits of psychic functioning the Dark Side of Sai the fear of sa and many others so why don't 00:02:17 you at least Begin by introducing the case of the PK man well Ted Owens is a a person whom I met back in 1976 at the time I was attending the a Convention of the uh parapsychological Association and another Convention of the parascience foundation at the University of London that summer and he had been invited to give a presentation to that organization because a a little news clip about his work had appeared in psychic magazine that he had ended a drought in California and there was a drought in London at the time the rout 00:03:00 was so bad that my friends with whom I was saying said you could get your picture on the front page of the London times if you just walk down Picadilly circus carrying an umbrella it'll seem so strange nobody will believe it they'll take your picture and put it in the newspaper they were bringing trucks uh of water to some of the cities around London that was their only access to water and when Ted Owens arrived in London on that occasion it began to rain and poor there there were power blackouts and and the drought was 00:03:34 declared over almost immediately and suddenly in a surprising way well this was characteristic of of Ted Owens he had a a penchant for um causing he believed he could cause through some combination of psychokinetic abilities and his contacts with entities associated with other dimensions or with UFOs uh he would cause or produce these kinds of large scale phenomenon he had been a research associate with JB Ry at the Duke Paras pychology laboratory in the 1940s so he knew about psychokinesis and he felt that his unique contribution 00:04:19 was that it was just as easy to control largescale phenomenon like the weather as it was to control the fall of dice which was the sort of uh thing Ryan was studying at the time well now there are several things going on here one has to do with who is actually making the phenomena occur assuming that there was really some causal connection between uh Ted and the phenomena that he reported or predicted or whatever was going on um on one hand he often said it was he who was doing these things on the other hand 00:04:51 he said it was space intelligences who was doing I mean what's your take on that it's interesting that at that very conference the Paris conference at the University of London one of the speakers was Suzanne padfield who was the wife of the well-known physicist Ted Baston who had an interest in psychokinesis and she herself produced PK in the laboratory working with John hasted another physicist researcher at the University of London at the time and her presentation was on what she called psychic support figures she said that oh 00:05:29 orig orally she thought the PK that she produced was uh the result of her Spirit guides and um then she said eventually she learned to take responsibility for it herself she felt that these psychic support Figures were something of a psychological crutch and and that she no longer needed that um Ted Owens uh believed in the early days of his PK work that this was uh nature that he was somehow in touch with nature with a capital N and um I'm inclined to like Suzanne padfields analysis I like the idea to 00:06:15 that maybe it really was all coming out of his mind but I will say this some of the things that he did included the production of UFO phenomenon after I started working with him in 1976 because he had a reputation for producing UFO sightings I said well could you do that for me and he said yes I will produce a sighting for you within 100 mile radius of San Francisco it will be seen by in fact he said I'll produce three sightings within a 90day window 100 mile radius of San Francisco and uh as the experiment progressed there there 00:07:00 were a couple of sightings and then he said I feel a big one coming it's going to happen any day now he said it will be photographed it will be witnessed by multiple people and a picture of it will be published on the front page of one of your local newspapers 3 days later that actually happened picture was published on the front page of the Berkeley Gazette this particular UFO was videotaped and the video was broadcast on Channel 9 television the big PBS station in San Francisco it was witnessed by hundreds 00:07:36 of people both from the air and the ground because at the time at Sonoma State College as it was then called it's now Sonoma State University in roner Park California about 50 miles north of San Francisco the the art Department was sponsoring an event with a an artist who flew an airplane and had smoke trailing out the back of his airplane and he was creating designs in the sky flying about 300 or 3,000 ft above the college campus hundreds of people were outside watching with their cameras the whole art 00:08:14 department and the pilot himself uh was uh in the air and he saw a UFO I interviewed him it was in his airspace and it was photographed and videotaped From Below now there are some problems of interpretation here of course I mean one of the things we've also talked about is how to understand precognition do you understand it as a retrocausal process where some future event produces an earlier precognitive experience or do you adopt what eisenbud called the active analysis and interpret evidence 00:08:45 for ensle precognition as um a kind of s mediated inference where you're just drawing inferences from states of Affairs that exist already or possibly is it due to telepathic influence or psychokinesis do you have any views on that well it's a conundrum and uh I think as as you know our mutual friend Ed May who will be here in this studio in a few months has published a paper recently in which he thinks he can explain almost all ostensible parapsychological phenomenon as precognition he thinks that's the sort 00:09:22 of the Paradigm and I'm inclined to think that your view is almost the opposite that psychokinesis might be the the main Paradigm or the active analysis in one of its forms whether it's a mediated inference by sigh or whether it's uh telepathic influence or PK if you think there's a problem with the very idea of retrocausation then you would naturally be inclined to the AC of analysis yeah we don't need to settle that one I I honestly have never been able to make up my mind about it I nor whether there is 00:09:58 an actual external agent the space intelligences as Owens would call them uh you know I think it's feasible that it could all be Owen's own psychokinesis I I think that's feasible well one of the things that interest me so much about the case you correctly point out that it's very difficult to know exactly where the causal lines are here and sometimes there's more or less of a delay between Owen's prediction or a threat as the case may be and the actual occurrence that he threatened or predicted um but you point out correctly 00:10:37 that there's a kind of cumulative Force to these particular cases even if no one of them is a slam dunk uh Case by itself together they seem to be a little bit more convincing if you look at the whole body of evidence and I have the files still from uh that research done he died nearly 30 years ago and 1987 uh and I make those files available to researchers there are about 168 different demonstrations in which he said I'm going to cause something uh and with the help of my space intelligence friends and it's is going to be a 00:11:17 demonstration of something typically unusual I think it would be fair to say that by chance alone none of these events would occur more than one time in a 100 and probably much more rare than that but uh if I analyze them overall using my own subjective impression did it more or less occur as he said it would because it's almost impossible to do clear-cut statistical analyses on these cases I would say two thirds of them uh occurred in a way that would impress a uh an intelligent objective Observer well 00:11:55 let's put some meat on the bones here I mean uh viewers who don't know the case might like to know something more about the kinds of threats or predictions that Owens Made I mean it had to do with the weather it had to do with lightning strikes it had to do with sporting events for example one of the most dramatic cases was a volcano in Italy um I believe it was Mount Etna I'm not 100% sure off off hand but the lava was heading toward a village and uh the villagers were being evacuated and Owens 00:12:27 said uh I am going to Pro vent that Village from being destroyed by the lava and sure enough within a matter of weeks the lava stopped flowing just short of that Village well there also some less Savory predictions or threats that Owens Made do you want to address that well he tried to do good he always wanted to be there as the Savior the person who would end the drought the person who who would save the Village from uh the lava the person who would be uh the the voodoo man who would assist the basketball team 00:13:03 but people often laughed at him and treated him with ridicule and when that occurred he got mad at them frankly um and he said I think these people need to be taught a lesson and the lessons uh were harsh there were suicides involved there were uh storms there were lives were lost there were airplanes that crashed but let me just say that with regard to the airplane crashes according to Owens this was an accident he didn't mean to do it um but not with a space shuttle Challenger with the space shuttle 00:13:42 Challenger in December near Christmas of 1985 he called me up very very angry and he said Jeffrey this is the most important phone call you will ever receive my space intelligences really mean business this time they are going to knock that space shuttle out of the sky it's up to you you've got to call NASA and warn them not to launch that shuttle he said there's nothing more I can do and of course that's a lot to uh lay on a graduate student at the time as if NASA was going to listen to me and and frankly at that 00:14:24 time he his predictions hadn't been going so well for years I had not paying much attention to him because uh he he had made some very big predictions about nuclear explosions and major earthquakes that didn't occur so when he called me up about the space shuttle the Challenger I I paid little attention to him and it was only about two weeks later when when it did in fact explode and of course according to the researchers the explosion occurred for well-known reasons concern concerning an O-ring and and improper quality control 00:15:03 and and so on but um that event really happened and and it caused me to think to myself I've got to take him more seriously I can't just ignore this man he's an incredible research opportunity he might represent the most significant parapsychological find in history well you and I have often talked about the implications of their being any PK in the world at all and because that raises the question just how far can this go how extensive can the effects be and we know that no force can be used exclusively for the good and Ted seems 00:15:41 to illustrate that yeah but when I think about his predictions regarding the weather whether he's going to cause a drought or stop a drought and so on um a natural question I think a lot of people would want to ask under those conditions is meteorology is not an exact science so how do we really know how to assess uh the likelihood of these things occurring on their own it's almost impossible I think uh your arguments about the um limitations of the experimental method in parapsychology are particularly applicable here and a 00:16:22 journalistic approach or a crime investigator approach seems to make more sense uh to me in in these instances it does to me as well do you want to say something about Ted's relationship to sporting events well he liked to get drunk as a matter of fact he'd sit down and polish off a bottle of scotch and have two or three TVs on at one time and his goal was to cause football teams basketball teams typically to Fumble the ball he said he he was much better at doing that than in getting them to throw 00:16:58 perfect passes or make perfect shots from from a distance so it was like he would cause Poltergeist type effects uh to go on and often the demonstrations that he produced were accompanied by mysterious Poltergeist likee effects not just with sporting teams but it it because he was being ignored by the US government and he wanted nothing more than to have scientists and government officials take him seriously so that he his abilities could be harness for the good but but when that didn't happen he 00:17:33 he'd say well I'm going to attack I'm going to I'm going to demonstrate in a negative way to convince you and he tried to interfere with Naval exercises and there were reports of poltergeist likee events taking place on on uh warships during Naval exercises as well as NASA uh launches now you waited some time before you actually published the book the PK man the first draft of the book was written in 1979 my co-author at the time was D Scott rogo a very well-known writer right and parapsychology researcher and 00:18:12 we had a publisher and the publisher went out of business and we submitted it to another publisher who looked at our manuscript and he said this is a terrible novel he couldn't believe it was non-fiction and at that point I said to myself people are not ready for this and I let that manuscript sit in my basement for 20 years until 1999 when I had the thought that maybe there there was enough sophistication and evolution and in cultural ideas about parapsychology that there would be a market for this 00:18:51 book and and there was a small Market it's hasn't been a blockbuster most people are are still either unwilling to believe any of it could be true or for the people who do believe uh it's real they think this is scary and I want nothing to do with it in the 16 years since the book was published have your views evolved about the case I wish I could say they had Steve but but I it's still a conundrum whether it's to or the extent to which precognition psychokinesis and uh some kind of active external entity like the 00:19:29 space intelligences are it just is all in my mind they're mixed together I suppose the the most evolved view I could State at this point is that these three approaches are somehow inextricably intertwined with each other but you do assign responsibility to Ted Owens for the phenomena moral responsibility do you not I tend to I mean for example with this Challenger explosion tried to maintain it he had nothing to do with it and I'm inclined to think that he probably didn't I don't believe he will 00:20:08 uh an accident in that space shuttle uh I think that might have been more of a prec cognition but when he caused the drought in Florida after relieving Florida of a drought that was retributive wasn't it it yeah now that's a fascinating case because uh he was invited by a journalist Wayne Grover a freelancer uh who had an association with a national Inquirer to end a drought and he said he would and it ended right on schedule and the national inquir refused to run the story and he said well I'll have to bring the drought 00:20:44 back and at the same time he said furthermore I'm going to punish Florida with a hurricane and out of nowhere comes this big storm Hurricane David it soon Rose to Category 5 status at C caused incredible uh damage in the aisle of Dominica in in the Caribbean and then it headed to Florida and Wayne Grover said to Ted Owens look you cannot allow this hurricane to hit Florida it's a category five hundreds of people will be killed and so Owen said okay uh I I will prevent it from uh hitting Florida at 00:21:22 full force and mysteriously according to the newspaper accounts this category five hurricane which did hit Florida uh diminished in power it was only a category 2 by the time it hit uh landfall in Florida one of the interesting things you mentioned in the book has to do with the lingering effect of some of uh Ted's apparent influence do you want to mention that uh yes because parapsychologists particularly Graham Watkins uh doing healing studies with mice uh observe that once uh a talented PK subject attempted to 00:22:01 influence the mice in a particular location the effects seemed to linger long after and I thought that that effect was occurring in an example where Ted Owens had a friend the Chesapeake Bay uh where there many naval uh installations there was a radar installation and he knew the radar operator and he got let in late at night unofficially and he said let me see if what I can do with his radar and there were many you know how the a radar screen uh goes and he began creating all kinds of mysterious blips on the radar 00:22:39 screen the radar operator fellow named Richardson signed an affidavit saying yes Ted Owens came and he said he could influence the radar and we saw many strange things on the radar screen well within several weeks of that event uh at least two airplanes crashed in the Chesapeake Bay and there's more to the story because at that time back in the 1970s Owens was working with a famous science fiction and science writer named OT Bender actually the man who uh created the Shazam comic strip and Oto Bender 00:23:20 published four articles in Saga magazine about Ted Owens in including this story about the plane crashes in the Chesapeake Bay and um after one of those articles was published Ted Owens was on an expedition to Egypt one of his wealthy backers had financed a trip for him to go and explore the mysterious psychic powers of the pyramids so he's returning to New York on a flight from Cairo and uh he's sitting up in first class getting drunk and has the Saga magazine article and he's showing to the stewardesses you know like I'm the guy 00:23:58 who caused these airplane crashes I can do PK and as he's bragging about this at that moment and I might mention that often when he does PK he creates what he calls a PK map pictures of what he intends to accomplish and he focuses on those pictures and then these events come true in his mind he's sending a telepathic message to his friends the space intelligences who have the power to control all these events but so so here he is focusing on the pictures he's in an altered state of consciousness 00:24:33 from alcohol the same altered state he uses when he likes to control athletic events and as his plane is coming into what was then called the Idle Wild airport in New York the plane right ahead of his was struck by lightning and crashed it was at that time the largest crash uh in the United States now you took Ted owens's course I did do you want to describe that well after the Challenger explosion I felt I needed to pay more attention to Ted Owens and I um decided he had a training program and I had interviewed maybe a 00:25:18 dozen people who had gone through his program and they reported they could cause lights to appear in the sky and strange phenomenon uh I thought you know I owe it to myself because I I was studying at the time uh methods of training psychic abilities I published a book side development systems about that I decided to take that course and well we only have about a minute left now I can only say that for me the outcome of that training was I launched the thinking alloud television series and that was my goal when he asked me what 00:25:55 do you want to do I knew I don't want to create spook things UFOs or frightening things what I want to do how I want to manifest myself in the world and I had been pretty beaten down at that point in my life is I want to be a communicator I want to communicate parapsychological realities to mainstream audiences and within months I had launched a TV series which eventually was out on over a 100 public television stations throughout North America and and I might mention with regard to the training program that 00:26:33 we have in the studio Deborah ly Catz a former guest of this show a a person who is a specialist in training psychic abilities who was been studying the Ted Owens training program herself and she's going to conduct another interview with me so um we'll focus on that and viewers of this interview um I think might want to pay special attention to that one I think so well Stephen thank you so much for being the interviewer today it was my pleasure and I hardly recommend that your viewers read the PK man it's a 00:27:10 fascinating study thank you Stephen and thank you for being with us [Music] [Applause] [Music] book three in the new thinking alloud dialogue series is UFOs and

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound 00:00:01 hello and welcome I'm Jeffrey mishlove this is a very unusual and exciting program for me I'm talking about the launch of a feature film documentary about the life of Ted ens the PK man the fellow about whom I wrote a book over 20 years ago called the PK man a true story of Mind Over Matter and so without further Ado here here is a first look at a teaser for our documentary in progress on the life of Ted Owens PK Man Battle of the psychics the October 22nd 1972 edition of the national Tattler T Owens he claims he can control 00:00:56 all those things but he can't control his mouth too well fella a friend of mine in Chicago saw an article today in which you say some nasty things about me in the Tattler you even have the gall to insinuate as he explained it long distance that I might be a fake and a phony so you can make some predictions big deal I can make predictions that come true and mind you we are speaking of documented before the fact action I was working at my window about a week ago when Ted Owens who calls himself PK 00:01:39 man came to my window Mr Ramos he said my special ESP ability and Powerful mind have picked up the thoughts of some bad people who are planning to bomb a post office here in Norfork they plan to bomb it on Saturday or Sunday last Saturday a bomb was thrown at the post office building and the FBI have entered the case I swear that this is a true and accurate statement so there can be no argument Ted Owens a World War II veteran of the Pacific Theater who fell over a rail and spontaneously levitated um Yes you heard that right 00:02:19 reached out for help to pioneering parapsychologist JB Ry at Duke University where he became his research assistant at various points in his life a bullwhip artist a carnival knifethrower Judo Master genius member of Mena executive oil dowser professional typist Summoner of UFOs and self-professed master of Mind Over Matter that could control nature Itself by the force of psychokinesis or PK and he would be the greatest teller of tall tales in history if not for the evidence 168 different demonstrations he 00:03:11 performed over a period of 20 years 2third of them worked out the way he said they would for events that by chance alone you wouldn't expect like a volcano so I can control exploding volcanoes control the weather large scale psycho kinetic events rain and snow and so on and the only snowstorm that I can recall ever happening is the one that was sent to us by Ted o also control military forces heal people given up by doctors for dead control radar installations control pro football basketball and on 00:03:59 and on and so why do you dare football players to come to Kate Charles and punch me in the nose if he insists on taking credit for causing injuries he should be jailed for assault with a deadly weapon L than half the Eagles players could not return it all all the young linebackers were injured and uh also predict that he could make some UFOs appear and even that happened published in the newspapers he creates what he calls a picture a PK map an image of what he wants to have happen he focuses on that 00:04:40 image he sends the image telepathically to Invisible aliens hovering above the Earth in a giant UFO he calls the space intelligences they sit in front of a big screen and they make all of these things happen mine is perhaps The Greatest Story in the entire history of the world UFO entities have given me an advanced brain the brain of future men now they want to see what I will do with it and whether I will misuse my Powers so far I have not he called himself the PK man lightning is my specialty 00:05:30 [Music] I'm particularly excited to bring on board for this project the filmmaker Lance mongia welcome Lance Hey Jeffrey thank you so much for for having me on the show and uh I'm really excited about this project and we've been talking about it a long time so it's an honor for me to be here and tell the world about what we're doing well let's begin by talking a little bit about your background I know I first met you many years ago when you were working with Russell tar on a wonderful feature documentary very successful one called 00:06:12 thirde eyye spies if you had an ability to be able to remotely perceive stuff any place in the world that could be an extraordinary intelligence Source we found that many individuals are able to accurately describe what's going on in dist locations are you saying that the work you've been doing is classified it was a research facility that was all that we were going to tell them the Russians have been spending millions of dollars investigating so-called ESP psychic spies almost a psychic arms race here is 00:06:59 there any real application to this I think remote viewing has been demonstrated over the 20 years of work that's been sponsored by the government producing crucial and vital intelligence to the NSA CIA DEA and the Secret Service I began to feel frightened the KGB did a me what's really going on here state sponsored assassination attent the CIA was lying they wanted to kill the program a storm brewing this is real I say no more secrets let this information out one of the reasons I've been eager to work with you on this 00:07:44 project is because unlike almost every other filmmaker I've ever encountered you have a sensitivity for this extraordinary subject matter I'm honored to to be involved and to have you say that about me because you know it's tumbling you know coming from somebody who's been doing this as long as you have and I've always been interested in the PK man I remember the first time that we actually met was when I was shooting Third Eye Spies you started telling the story of PK man and it was so amazing and yet at the same 00:08:18 time so unbelievable the this story of Ted Owens that could change the weather and could do all of these psychokinetic things and cause UFOs to appear and then you said oh and by the way I've got hours of of Ted audio but you you have to take it very seriously because it could really change your your whole world viw and and how you see things and I found that so fascinating well I think it's important to let our viewers understand that we're endeavoring to raise some funds to launch this project you and I have 00:08:48 already been working on it for a couple of years so we're we're going to do a a crowdfunding page and we'll put the link let's put the link down below and then we'll it flash through the rest of the video or at least be a link that that that people can click on and I am a small company my my company waking Universe films has produced several UFO documentaries plus third ey spies and over the last uh few years and we're very independent the evolving technologies that that exist out there in the world 00:09:21 have allowed us to be even more independent and bigger in scale than we could have imagined even 5 years ago so so with this PK Man movie there's a lot of historical research that still needs to be done we need to be going to News archives and possibly purchasing news clips and things like that that we can't get anywhere else this is something that we need to really raise some money for too because there's a lot of material that material has to be professionally cleaned up and mixed because a lot of 00:09:52 the audio is older we want to interview some of the Contemporary researchers that are working today that demonstrate how what Owens was talking about in the 1970s has since been scientifically documented in a lab people like Dean Raiden animated reenactments of owens's Life uh based around his audio uh based around eyewitness testimony uh for things that occurred in his life and we want to show that in a animated style that is Cinematic and so we make this documentary a a truly cinematic production that that will beely its its 00:10:34 beginnings and and how we actually are making this and that's possible now because through my company we have been doing animated reenactments now since the pandemic for television for uh other documentaries and producing really top quality reenactments for these documentaries that that are on par with anything you would find in a major Studio because the technology has come so far and I'm not even talking about AI in the more recent stuff using tools like Unreal Engine and motion capture tools things 00:11:10 that you know we've really kind of set up our studio to do as you can see in the real which is some of these [Music] films and that really is the core of this is that the the project itself has a production quality a top-notch documentary think will compete with any other paranormal documentary that's ever been made and and beyond that paranormal aspect the story aspect of owens's life is so compelling because you he documented everything and you have preserved all of these documents so those are the types 00:11:51 of things that we really need to raise funding for but it was really when I showed up at your house and we started really going over the material you brought out these big boxes of archives these archives are just Decades of material about Owens documenting the phenomenon that he claims to have caused documenting witness testimonies a lot of them notorized and the FBI have entered the case I swear that this is a true and acccurate statement un told history completely Untold that so blow mind it just begs to 00:12:28 be shown to the world this is a project that I have been meaning to do since I first encountered Ted Owens in 1976 I worked with the man for 11 years until he died in 1987 and ever since then I have felt that this is a story that needs to be told it needs to be understood it some ways I feel that my career in Paris psychology has been epitomized by this particular research I hadn't been able to stop thinking about it since that first event where we actually got together and and you showed me just the 00:13:14 raw documents in his own handwriting you know which we can be showing here just so much great information and personality owns himself as a character he is the ultimate anti-hero it's like what if you gave all the power of a god to a guy who you would wouldn't trust to drive you down the street you know but and and who has these great grand plans and and uh way of speaking was was so there's such a dichotomy within his character and yet he was also This brilliant brilliant soul that that had so much passion for researching the 00:13:54 subject he was actually a very very serious researcher and I've waited too long over long for some cooperation from somebody waiting for some scientists somewhere to make an approach and in communication with all of the top scientists in peris psychology of the day including yourself and Russell and Hal POF who we've already interviewed for the film as a filmmaker I always find that it's not just the subject matter is the The credibility behind it from the personalities involved and and also just it makes it entertaining to 00:14:36 see such a colorful character he Larger than Life and yet at the same time his talents I think are the embodiment of the potential that exists within everyone UFO entities have given me an advanced brain the brain of future men now they want to see what I will do with it this is something that I feel so sympatica with you about the way we can look at as human beings uh the possibilities of of what we can possibly imagine or even what we can't imagine you know could it be possible could it be real if there's even a a 00:15:23 grain of of Truth within the Owen story then then the world it's time to know about it and and I remember the very first interview we did and I asked you uh off camera you know about PK man and I said hey would you be interested in doing something and and your response was well I wrote this book 20 years ago but it's it's uh the world wasn't really ready for it and now through my own journey in doing third eyye spies uh it changed my worldview completely and it and it showed me what evidence it actually exists for the 00:15:58 Primacy of consciousness and just how real the that the study of Consciousness is in terms of really superum uh Supernatural characteristics that Consciousness may have and that's really worthy of a serious conversation so we're not just talking about making a a mythical film about a guy who claims to do some things evidence shows in other areas from other researchers that some of the things that he is talking talked about could be very real and you've devoted your life to pursuing that and I want to 00:16:38 help you with that and I want to help get that information out to the world well it's important I think that in addition to your background in Paras pychology having produced thirde eyye spies you've also done several very important video documentaries concerned with UFOs which is another aspect of the Ted Owen story remote viewing to me was almost like a Gateway Drive into the Paranormal and and into the study of euphology and I've had the opportunity to work with a lot of the people who have been 00:17:14 on your show that they're interested in the subject like jacqu valet uh you know several others I uh after third ey spies I went on and I produced the phenomenon which was a very successful UFO documentary directed by James Fox I knew this was breaking news for the front page of the New York Times my gosh we need to accept that we are not alone in the universe the federal government all these years has covered up everything it's very very bad for our country there have been visitation crashed craft material recovered it was 00:17:58 not anything from this Earth all I could do is keep a mouth shut the public has right to 70 years of history about the UFO subject and rewriting and you know figuring out the the stories to tell and coming through interviews they all speak to the same message which is that there's a much larger human story and that this planet that we exist upon we're not only not separate from it but we also risk destroying it in a way that that has attracted attention side of ourselves in some way it's intriguing and and uh Owens was 00:18:38 about all of that decades before anyone else was even talking about it and now this the whole concept of UFO summoning is very common you know with the C5 stuff and with there's there's various people that claim to do it Owens was making those claims successfully and causing witnesses to see things in the sky based on his predictions or psychokinetic ability whatever decades before anyone else and so that's important I also by the way have just finished producing the program which was James Fox's followup to the phenomenon 00:19:15 what is being done to verify the assertion that the US government has spaceships of non-human intelligence in their possession that kind of Revelation unearths people's beliefs I we go to jail to say things that I've been exposed to in the [Music] program we are living in the Apex of timing when it comes to the world's understanding of what UFOs or now uaps are really about and they've been here a long time people have reported them and the government has been a lot more involved and interested than people tend 00:19:57 to give them credit for Congressional hearings the first in 50 years just over the last year it it's at a point where now we're not just interviewing Witnesses we're interviewing Senators we're interviewing a 37-year veteran of the Senate armed services committee you're telling me people have come forward claiming firsthand knowledge of craft of non-human origin that's correct the intelligence committee claims on certed not only that there have been crashes but there have and crash retrievals do we have the bodies of the 00:20:31 pilot so a lot of what Owens was claiming back then that people were looking at him sideways for are now main stream and I think that we really are on the verge of some very big disclosures that are going to change the way again that a lot of people look at the world you know take for example the largest airplane disaster in American history at Kennedy Airport in the 70s Ted Owens is flying ing into Kennedy Airport showing I'm the guy who could knock these airplanes out of the sky with psycho kesis and he's 00:21:08 bragging to the stewardesses when the plane right ahead of him is struck by lightning which is part of his trademark and crashed uh some of the most impressive incidents are the ones that happened by accident and this crash was one such incident he wasn't trying to hit the airplane ahead of him he was he was bragging about an article that had appeared in Saga magazine that showed an airplane being struck by lightning from a previous demonstration he had done which was also accidental he was trying 00:21:52 to it it did successfully produce strange visuals on a radar screen screen which which he claimed he could do and then subsequently airplanes were struck by lightning and downed in the Chesapeake Bay and in that was just one example of many of Owens either being entric involved or at the very least being at the absolute wrong place at the right time very much like the anti Forest Gump you know who throughout this entire period of history from like the 60s through the 80s he always tended to hit 00:22:34 the nail on the head of the worst possible thing that could occur you know I mean I keep thinking back to uh him trying to teach his young children how to do PK as they're overlooking Mount St Helens and he's trying to explain there's this GD pattern and you use it and this is how you create PK effects and then in that moment the volcano erupts and M St Helen's explodes the largest eruption in you know modern history and and he's like okay everybody back into the car you know and it's not that he intended to do 00:23:11 these things but again and again real effects and so those things need to be taken seriously and look at well macr psychokinesis which is what we're talking about is probably the most controvercial subject within the field of parapsychology even experience Paras ologists have a a lot of hesitation to confront this level of phenomena and I think the reason is because a mere 250 years ago here in the United States we were burning witches at the stake the the belief was the the paradig of the time was that witchcraft is real 00:23:56 and it's dangerous and and the Paradigm shifted so that today the major Paradigm is that witchcraft doesn't exist which is just as dangerous as as believing that it does exist you're right you're right and and we fear what we don't understand right and and I think even greater than fear is our own ego's desire not to be fooled we don't want to be fool we don't want to buy into something something that is bullpucky you know we we want to to know that that we are correct and and that it's all logical and it all makes 00:24:37 sense but what science real Cutting Edge science is showing us again and again is that it doesn't all make sense and that there's things about the way that reality is constructed that we still don't understand and yet we have this Dogma the Dogma was the big villain in Third Eye Spies the first time I met Russell targ I asked him who's the villain of the story who who was it that was really holding your work back and he said it was the Dogma it was the the religious and the scientific prejudice 00:25:08 against anything that people don't understand and if this is all fake then it's still a great story but if it's real if even a little bit real then this is the most important story that we could be focused on right now because it does show us the dangers and the opportunities of what's possible through the Human Condition and we see that things like Mass meditation can work Mass prayer works and and I don't say that as as a highly religious person I say that by looking at scientific studies and statistics of people who 00:25:46 have been healed by large groups of people who who will pray or or meditate for them like that we know that Consciousness has an effect in the world and is it possible that Ted Owens somehow tapped into that in such a major way and and then what does that really say about us it's very intriguing and I think it says a lot not only about Ted Owens who seems more than human but it says a lot about each and every one of us what if our conscious intent really does have a vote in how things play out in this world it it really is that 00:26:27 fundamental question of um are we helpless victims to our reality or are we the creators of our reality and and do we have some sort of say and pull in how in events in the broader World unfold and to me and I don't know the answer but I'm all about investigating it and it feels like I would rather live in a world where magic is possible well for me the the lesson of the Ted Owens case is that the youth universe itself is alive and each and every one of us is entangled with it with each other and 00:27:05 with the universe in the quantum sense of entanglement so we all have a measure of interaction and influence with the whole universe and what if that level of interaction with the universe is only dependent upon our ability to imagine it what if the power of the mind is that infinite it sounds far-fetched to say it but on the other hand we're seeing it proven again and again in Labs by people like Dean Raiden darl Ben Russell tar Hal put off a lot of these people over the years have shown you know just how 00:27:44 powerful the human mind and and the power of the superconscious can be can actually take out of thin air information about something you have absolutely no access to just using your mind remote why couldn't I do that by looking at a map and and trying to change the course of of a hurricane if if a person's mind was that attuned to it I don't know I don't know what the differences are well that was Ted Owen's main claim in fact he asked that someday we name it after him the Owens effect being that it's just as easy to 00:28:21 manipulate large scale phenomenon like hurricanes as as it is to deal with the the sort of microscopic phenomenon often shown in the parasytes back to that saying from Yoda you know in in Empire Strikes Back I always think back on Luke trying to lift the X-Wing out of the swamp Luke says it's just too difficult it's too big and Yoda I'll paraphrase says something like well that's just because you think it's too big you you think that it's too hard and that's why you fail always with you it cannot be done 00:29:00 let's take a look at one last excerpt from our upcoming documentary we'll be featuring more excerpts in future episodes and you can go to our crowdfunding page as well as Lance's YouTube page both linked below to find even more material there it's February 5th 1976 Pao Alto California all over the city residents look up to the sky and witness something [Music] extraordinary he said well I'm going to create a snowstorms of the like that you've never seen there in Northern California and it's going to snow like hell over this 00:29:49 next weekend and it'll be published in your newspaper your local newspaper will be such a big snowstorm that the papers will write about it because there' been nothing like there for 50 years January 25th 1976 to the scientists I know gentlemen it is time time to give you a demonstration to distract fear into your hearts I am not your ordinary Orthodox human inside the labs of Stanford Research Institute two of the cia's top scientists Russell tar and Hal putthoff watch stunned I've been in California now for 00:30:41 62 years in the only snowstorm the like to recall ever happening is the one that was sent to us by Ted o although was not known why we were doing it but it's generally known in the public that we're looking for people to come forward with examples of uh paranormal experiences we were contacted by Ted Owens who said that uh he had a lifetime of really remarkable experiences it brings all of these desparate interests together and I think a lot of people share those interests and are going to really get behind this 00:31:19 and hopefully share the excitement that we both have for this documentary and I would just encourage people if you can go to the crowdfunding website that will be linked below this video and there's going to be a lot of things that if you can help contribute to this project that we also can contribute to your understanding of it and and to be a participant with us in it we're going to be doing behind the scenes videos as we make the documentary and you'll you'll get access to that we're going to be 00:31:51 providing for instance say course that Ted Owens himself taught in what would you call it Jeffrey self-awareness you know in learning psychokinesis there are many different ways to couch what Ted Owens taught I took his training program myself and at the time he asked me what do you want to do with this kind of power and I said to him well I have no interest in controlling hurricanes or causing UFOs to manifest the way you do but what I'd like to do is to become a spokesperson To The World At Large about the realities of psychic 00:32:37 phenomena and esoteric ways of looking at the world and within about six months of taking the Ted Owens training program we launched the original thinking allowed television series and so I've been doing that I've been fulfilling that dream almost ever since and I think what it's really about ultimately is becoming the best version of yourself I tagline for my company waking Universe FMS is I'm another version of you and and it's all about the idea of human potential and and how we are all reflections of that same potential and 00:33:22 that really is the theme that that we want to get out of this whole story is what truly as possible if we can just imagine it and I'm very excited now many many decades later that we're at a point where we can tell the story to a large audience mine is perhaps the greatest story in the entire history of the world he called himself the PK man

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound 00:00:22 hello everybody this is lansman Gia director of PK Man the movie I'd like to start by expressing my sincere thank you to Jeffrey for partnering with me on this and to bring this fascinating and important story to a wider audience and I really want to thank all of you the new thinking alloud Community for your enthusiasm and your support thus far it's I work in a vacuum and it's really great to to get your feedback and and to know that there are people out there that are rooting for the film to be made 00:00:55 as much as I have for the last couple of years and Jeffrey has for a lot longer than that for those who might be new to our film okay we're telling the remarkable true story of Ted Owens the self-proclaimed PK man who publicly claimed and often appeared to manipulate large scale events using psychokinesis with the help of what he called the space intelligences his predictions and demonstrations included vastly influencing the weather disasters as soon as you you'll see even uh NFL football games now we've launched a 00:01:30 crowdfunding campaign at PK man film.com and we've raised significant initial support again which I'm very grateful for but we still need your help to reach our goal completing this documentary requires additional sources of income resources to secure really critical interviews we still need to make sure we have the rights to the footage that we need to do this correctly and really to make sure that this extraordinary story reaches as wide audience as possible and this is it it's this is just us making the film I'm not 00:02:04 going through some other system to do this uh it's either going to be that we make it or this film doesn't seem the light to day and I have to have this SE the light of day today I'm really excited to share a fascinating scene in progress now it's a rough draft pleased it but it gives an incredible glimpse into the archival materials that we've already discovered these include rare newspaper clippings personal course respondence uh being reenacted an original video uh that documents Ted owens's astonishing public claims about 00:02:37 psycho canally influencing NFL football now Owens didn't just predict the outcome here he explicitly claimed that he could directly cause football fumbles and receptions he would influence behavior at a distance he would sit in front of his television set at home and just focus on the images and make it happen remarkably these events were documented in advance through his correspondence with Jeffrey and others through mainstream newspapers and notably featured prominently in the Philadelphia Eagles owned official website in a 00:03:12 promotional archival video from the very exact season that we know that Ted Owens was influencing now what's so compelling about Owens experiments with football again is not just a suggestion that human consciousness might influence physical events which is incredible in its own right but for me it's also the profound possibility that the intention alone could shape human behavior if Owens claims hold true then they have profound implications for understanding the true potential of human consciousness we're making steady 00:03:44 progress on PK man and thanks to your generous contributions so far we've begun discussions with a potential distributor even and started assembling critical scenes like the one you're about to watch however we still have important interviews and essential production elements to complete so your support remains crucial please keep in mind as you watch the scene it's a rough draft again and your thoughtful feedback is very much appreciated your insights will directly shape the documentaries development if you're inspired by the 00:04:16 story if you can please share our crowdfunding page at PK man film.com tell your friends and networks the more support We Gather the stronger this film will become thank you again to Jeffrey moff and everybody in the new thinking allow Community for believing in PK man and for helping me on this incredible journey enjoy the clip stay tuned there'll be more to come shortly thank you why do you dare football players to come to Kate Charles and punch me in the nose if he insists on taking credit for 00:04:54 causing injuries he should be jailed for assault with a deadly weapon less than half the Eagles players could not return it all all the young linebackers were injured Ted Owens was perhaps most wellknown publicly for claiming to manipulate sporting events using his mysterious powers of psychokinesis he said they were demonstrations of his ability and he became so Infamous for his unusually accurate jinxes that even owners of football teams would reach out Dear Mr Owens please believe me when I request 00:05:31 that you remove us from your list of losers if you will please advise me as to a course of action which we could follow to have us removed from this category I will do whatever I can to comply I note with a great deal of Interest your record of accomplishments I thank you for considering this request sincerely Carol Rosenblum president the Baltimore colds unfortunately perhaps for them they never wanted to pay his fees to stop his interference which which only caused Owens to Double Down perhaps no 00:06:03 team was more affected by his high Jinx than the 1968 Philadelphia Eagles who experienced by far their worst year in specific ways Owens claimed to cause Often by sitting at home and attempting to manipulate specific plays by focusing on the TV from the comfort of his easy chair the Eagles as usual were decided underdogs a web footed Eagle named Tom Woodes shik SL through the swamps for 79 sloppy yards to the Philadelphia Eagles several years ago when Jerry Wilman still owned your team Stan Hawkman asked me face to face if a 00:06:45 change in the ownership of the Eagles plus a new coach plus new Personnel could stop my PK attack on the Eagles I told him then instantly that it could not stop the PK attack nothing can stop my mind from beating you year in and year out the PK Works in a thousand ways it will get the coach fired make the owner go bankrupt it's a huge Monumental Jinx I'll simply refer you to a column Stan hotman wrote about me several years ago after he' taken me to a football game and I'd sent PK after one man Tom woodi number 00:07:37 37 and one was number 37 225lb fullback Tom wesk in each of his six seasons with the Eagles he's gained more yardage than he gained the year before Tom Wood 1968 telling the PK to get Woody out of the game what's the matter with you Woody heard clavicle clavicle tender on the joint right there I got one hair on my chest and you had to put it on that hair didn't you I was after it with a she was lucky in spite of injuries he played in every game less than half the eagle players were so lucky many could not return at 00:08:16 all all the young linebackers were injured Ike Kelly arunas vases and number 35 Adrien young veteran All Pro tackle and defensive leader Floyd Peters missed most of the Season due to injuries Frank molden who after 2 years of injuries missed 2 months of 1968 with a broken leg elected co- captain of the Eagles by his teammates Woody said I won't make any fiery speeches I'll show them by example it was an example none of his teammates will forget and in 10 minutes wood Che rushed out onto the field hit a 00:08:53 cowboy in the face and was thrown out of the game by the officials in his right up stand Stan hotman said but what flash of insanity provoked him wood Che to rush off the bench with his fist flurry Ted Owens did it honest he called himself the PK man

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound 00:00:01 New Thinking Aloud is presented by the California. All right. Now, I'm going to go ahead and share my screen and get up the countdown clock timer and we'll begin that in one minute. Oh, here we go. This will do it. Okay. Can you still hear me? It's better. Okay, good. Yeah, I was using the wrong uh filter. So, now that might be hard. It is. Okay, good. That's why you log on a half an hour early. So, actually, we're live right now. Okay, we we are live. People will start logging in. Notices are being sent out 00:00:45 to thousands of our subscribers. So, they'll start logging in right away. Okay. Oh, that's great. Yeah, I was I was working on that piece that that you just played until about uh four o'clock in the morning. I think it's a it's still a work in progress, but uh you know, I know it's so time consuming when you focus on it like that second by second. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then there's technical glitches and, you know, little things that need to be that still aren't ironed out that need to be ironed out. But but that whole sequence 00:01:24 is going to be really cool because I can't wait to get to the part with the tarantulas in the in the desert like you know I'm going to do the whole you know I don't know if you know Emmy Emmy that uh you know he he his uh recounting is that you know he woke up in the middle of the desert naked like on the ground surrounded by this circle of tarantulas that were just going around and around him but not not anywhere near him and and that's when he claims that he had had like an I guess it was an abduction 00:01:51 experience of some kind and and they worked on his brain and and uh you know helped him to do what he was doing. But was his daughter Lori in the car at the same time? That's what I believe. Yes, I'm pretty sure that's what that's what I read. You know, she's as far as I know, she's still alive. We can interview her. Yeah, that you know we we spoke about that before and uh and uh that's one of the reasons I decided to to do that scene, you know, in the event that we can reach her and uh you know, 00:02:21 ask her about it. I bet we can. And and as far as I know, she moved to Seattle, so I haven't been She used to live in um Southern California. Yeah, we we should uh make a note of that and and uh um see if we can at least get a Zoom call or something because uh you know just even if it's like as a preliminary interview plus there are a couple of grandchildren still alive and probably even some of his other probably Teddy, one of his sons is still alive. That would be great to interview them about 00:02:55 some of the um you know the poltergeist activity that they they supposedly used to always have around their house like you know hearing wild animals and hearing you know uh stuff moving around in the house and things like that. Yeah. Well, I'm just going to go and refresh my teacup. I'll be right back. Okay, Lance. Yes. I was just going to quickly ask because we were preparing one of the videos you're going to share during the live stream. I'm just noticing I'm wondering if you have a lamp or something that you can put in 00:03:26 front of your face or uh bump up your light. There we go. Thank you. Yeah, that this light was on and then it somehow I must have hit the button and it turned off. That's much better. Now we can see you more. Yeah, that's great. So, where are you located at? I mean, do you do you live in uh California or someplace else? And uh I do not live in California. My father was born there. I'm in St. Paul, Minnesota, the twin city of Minneapolis. Oh, wow. So, it probably just warmed up there recently. It was probably really cold 00:03:56 this winter. I imagine it was, although with some of the changes we're seeing in climate, it will sometimes get a thaw even in like January. So, we've been having kind of the up and down temps and uh yeah, we're definitely above freezing during the day and starting to I'm seeing some crocus and irises starting to pop up out of the ground and our chive plants too in our garden, our herb garden. That's great. I I I just recently moved to uh Louisiana from Southern California, having lived in Southern California most of my life. And 00:04:32 you know, we decided to make a big move and uh come to a little town in rural Louisiana because uh it's just so beautiful here, you know, and uh the summers are really hot, but other than that, like so far it's been, you know, just beautiful. Oh, that's awesome. I don't think I've ever been to Louisiana. I've been to Southern California, which is very beautiful. Yes, very beautiful. And and uh also gets hot, you know, these days, you know. Um, I mean, we talk about like climate change and things like that. Like, uh, when I was a 00:05:04 kid, I used to work in the rose fields. Like, you know, my family had a a rose farm in central California in McFarland. And, um, and if it got to 100 degrees, we'd all get sent home. Everybody'd go home, you know, because it was too hot. And, and that was rare, but I used to look forward to those days because it was like, you know, easy day. You leave, right? It's like equivalent to our winter snow days when we were kids, right? But but now I mean it's it's like so common that it's 100 degrees that 00:05:34 it's not even feasible, you know, that you you know in the summertime it just gets up to 100 degrees off way sometimes over 100, you know, 115 degrees even, you know, so it's kind of kind of scary. But here it got it it did get really cold this winter. I mean, it was um some days were down to 15 degrees. So, so it got really cold. But I what I found out was that once it's freezing, you it's just cold. I mean, I I didn't even notice the difference between 15 and 30. It was just cold anyway. Yeah. I've noticed that once Well, here 00:06:13 I I also would say it's like the wind because I can go for a walk sometimes at like zero degrees, maybe for like 20 minutes or so. um if it's not too breezy. But yeah, it's uh there's a lot of change going on. We actually are a different I think we're zone 4B now for gardening. So, or just in general, but then it changes when things warm up and things are definitely warming up more more quickly in the beginning of the spring and then staying warm longer in the autumn. Yeah. Yeah. Um I was here last summer and now 00:06:48 everybody here in Louisiana warns me. They say they say, "Well, have you been here during the summer?" Because, uh, you know, it's nice now, but it's not hot in the summer. And it is true. It gets really hot. But, uh, we'll see how I do with, uh, gardening. We just planted a bunch of like, uh, pepper plants and, uh, some melons and stuff like that in our backyard. We'll see if they actually can survive this this uh, you know, heat. [Music] Well, you'll probably get germination and a good garden. It's just Yeah, they 00:07:19 can sometimes start to suffer a little bit, but something. Yeah. How are you, Jeffrey? Very well, thank you. That's good. Um, I'm using a a lot of uh new technologies for for the uh reenactments now that are just it's stunning how how good the technology is getting. I mean, it really is uh kind of a revolution in in um I think the way that people are going to consume media and things like that. It might be something to talk about. Well, I think what we what we should do when we start in about three 00:08:00 minutes, I'll introduce you and Emmy, of course, and then if you could make a short statement, you know, 10 minutes or so, just talking about your experience of delving into the Ted Owens material. to begin with and then maybe we'll show one of the the new short video. Okay, sounds fine. And then we'll I mean I think it would be better if uh uh I don't know if I can I can speak for 10 minutes straight about you know my experience, but we can probably go back and forth and I may ask I may ask you 00:08:33 and we can riff on it. Oh, okay. Whatever. You mean you can't channel Ted Owens by now, Lance? I think Jeffrey probably can. I think Jeffrey can or like channel tweeter and Twitter. Yeah, I if you notice I put a little nod to them at the end of that video. But um but I'm I am more than willing to come out to New Mexico and and let's set up a session as part of the film or maybe not part of the film, whatever. But but uh do a a Twitter and Twitter uh channel session with Jeffrey and and uh we'll we'll uh we'll do the 00:09:10 whole like face capture and you know the whole thing. It'll be great. If nothing else, it'll make a great episode. You know, uh I just completed an interview. I don't think it's been released yet on psychedelic entities. I interviewed the two authors of of the book and one of them under DMT had the experience of a giant mantislike being operating on his brain and that's cool that it changed his whole life. That it happened about 50 years ago and he hasn't been the same person since. that he thinks about it every day. Wow. You 00:09:54 you would I'm so shocked by how many stories I've heard like that. And I don't even go around looking for those stories. I mean, it's just like randomly, you know, people will uh like if you remember Nick Sackler, you know, we met him at a conference, he uh had a near-death experience and and in the near-death experience, he encountered these these same mant beings and didn't know anything about them. There's I didn't appreciate it at the time. I was doing the research with Ted Owens. What an enormous lore there is around these 00:10:25 manted beings. I before I knew any, this is something I could mention in the talk. Before I even knew anything about it, I'd had a experiences with them in meditation and thought it was just really weird. Yeah, maybe they were responsible for teleporting your car. They could be. They could be. Anyhow, we're we're about to get started in just a few seconds. Hello and welcome everyone. I'm Jeffrey Meshlov. I'm with the co-host of New Thinking Aloud, Emmy Vades. Hello everybody. And our special guest today, 00:11:11 film producer Lance Mongia. Hello everybody. Thanks for joining us. Lance is also the producer of a new film which was just released, a very significant documentary called The Program and as well as another one uh he worked with James Fox on called The Phenomenon and another one that he worked with Russell Tar on called Thirdeye Spies. So Lance is a an expert in both the field of euphology and the field of parasychology. Uh so I thought he's the perfect person for me to partner with to create a documentary about the unusual 00:11:58 case uh that I researched for 11 years between 1976 and 1987. the case of the PK man Ted Owens. And uh interestingly, it's been over 50 years or almost 50 years since I first met Ted Owens and began uh this study, but only now, I think, is has our culture evolved to the point where this story can be told to a larger audience. So, welcome, Lance. It's a pleasure to be with you. Thank you. Thank you, Jeffrey. I mean, it's a um probably an overstatement to say I'm an expert in anything. I mean, I'm I I I 00:12:41 tend to be a uh a person a jack of all trades. I know just enough to be dangerous in several different categories. But but uh but but no, I I have really uh spent a long time researching and thinking about these issues and and uh you know, I've been on your show several times and and uh spoken about my own experiences and I feel like in the fields of both euphology and parasychology, you can't really cognize it or get into it unless you've experienced it. you know, it's like I think that's why so many experiencers 00:13:16 become, you know, documentarians or write books or whatever because uh you it's it's very hard just to grasp intellectually uh you know something that doesn't really make any sense. I mean, whether that's uh um manted beings, you know, floating in space or or whether that's Ted Owens uh you know, looking out his window and deciding that he's going to channel the weather somewhere, you know. I mean, I uh and and it just at first none of it makes any sense, but then you start to realize that people that are 00:13:50 even much smarter than yourself um don't know what's going on, but know that something is there. and and uh um and then you wind up kind of just going back to a place I think where we live in a very mysterious universe and and uh um there's still a lot that we don't understand about science and and uh I do think there is a way to couch this in non-magical terms. I mean I don't think it is just magical thinking or um some uh superstition. I I do think that that our consciousness is so powerful that we 00:14:23 literally create our own realities. my personal experience and my point of view on when I'm having a better day. But um you know I was I was talking right before this call started um that uh you know I've been approached by so many people over the years that that have had experiences like what Ted Owens claims and oftentimes nobody believes them. I mean, uh, you know, I also worked on a documentary that hasn't come out yet called, um, My Traveler, which was the story of Andrea Parharic. Uh, and, uh, 00:14:58 you know, maybe she's on this call today. Heidi uh, Jerka was, um, interviewed on your show, who was one of his space kids, you know, who, uh, had worked with him doing, um, you know, remote viewing and channeling work and things like that. And uh Andrea's whole claim to fame was that he would go around and listen to these people and take them seriously and and uh not treat it like uh you know they had some kind of psychological condition but understanding that there really was something going on and uh you know much 00:15:29 like Russell Tar much like Halputoff Steven Schwarz Jeffrey yourself many others there's a lot of very very knowledgeable um smart researchers that are working on this subject again much smarter than myself but that um have devoted their lives to try to understand some of these mysteries. I mean if you go back and look at John Mack, I mean who wrote the forward to your book to PK man. I mean he was somebody who was a very skeptical Harvard you know um psychologist the head of their department and yet he 00:16:03 could not deny the evidence that he found after interviewing you know hundreds of these people that have had the kinds of experiences that Ted had. And uh Ted just happened to be more of a a flamboyant character and and I think sort of took the reigns of what had happened to him more uh fully than a lot of other people do. I mean he wasn't afraid to tell you about where he got his abilities from or what he could do. and and in fact in fact that that was his whole sort of claim to fame is that he 00:16:37 would you know actually document these things ahead of time by putting them in newspapers by putting them in in letters to respected scientists and um and that led to this documentary really you know it's almost like Ted Owens made the documentary for us by by creating so much material of what he did and then then thankfully Jeffrey with you having preserved it for all of these years. But um I do think that it really does say a lot about what we are as a conscious beings. You know, it's it's not so much 00:17:16 that that uh um stuff is happening to us as we have an intricral voice in making it happen. And I think that's what really is kind of the crux of the Ted Owens story and what interested me in making this documentary with you, Jeffrey, is is the the idea that that uh somehow our role in reality is much much greater and and sort of much more in line with what uh you know, esoteric texts and mystics have said for thousands of years and what science is starting to prove, which is that our consciousness has a vote 00:17:51 in our reality. you know, and in terms of what happens. So, um, you know, I I could go on and on about a thousand different things, but I do feel like us making this documentary, uh, has been sort of like guided, like, you know, I've been guided along this path over the years where certain things just kind of come into my my awareness and and it just leads one thing to another and this is kind of like a logical progression. But it's also really very um difficult I think for the mainstream to take seriously. It's like 00:18:27 when I when I meet people who are researchers or uh or even experiencers oftentimes, like I said, they're not taken seriously. And I think it's just because there's almost like a a psychological block that society has to new things and to new ideas, new thinking. And um it's very very hard to change the paradigm of the status quo. It you've been chipping away at it for years and years and I think very effectively because you ground your work and you you know um oftentimes someone will say I've got all the answers. I 00:19:02 know everything. I know exactly what happened here. And that's not really the case. I think anybody that says that you can't fully believe because we're all just trying to figure it out. And I think almost like that's the point, you know, is is trying to really figure out what our place in this reality is, you know. So, I can ramble on for hours, but I won't. Well, maybe it would be a good idea to show uh our viewers a short excerpt of that you have prepared. And I think we're looking at the moment when Ted 00:19:34 Owens first experienced contact with alien an alien presence that changed his life and apparently greatly accelerated certain abilities that he had already had since he was young. Yeah. Um let me set that that clip up a little bit. So, um, if you're not familiar with the PK man story, um, Ted Owens claimed that that, uh, he had these astonishing psycho-inetic abilities to be able to move matter, uh, affect weather patterns, sort of synchronistically alter reality in in ways with his consciousness. And, um, he 00:20:14 claimed that this power was coming to him from what was called the space intelligences. and in particular two manted looking beings that were 7 feet tall and and that um were on a spaceship above the earth and telepathically communicating with him. That was his belief as to where uh those powers were originating from. And it took him a number of years to actually come to that conclusion. It actually uh sort of escalated over time, but it all started in 1955 when he was uh you know of living in rural Texas and he was driving 00:20:48 down the road with his daughter and he uh looked up and he saw a craft and uh shortly after that he started having telepathic communications. He didn't know exactly with who yet, but that led him to start doing some of the things that he did. And um what you're going to see today is a short snippet of a longer scene. Um this is sort of the setup. Um and as the scene goes on, we'll in in the next couple of segments of this, you'll actually see that Ted um claimed that he had an abduction experience. And 00:21:22 that's really what led him to kind of put all of the pieces together. uh he claimed that they operated on his brain and and uh somehow unlocked these sort of latent abilities that perhaps we all may have. Um but uh anyway, this is just a snippet of it. And what's interesting now is with the technology, I can really create compelling and consistent characters. And so the plan with this documentary is you're going to see Ted Owens age over the years. And and when we're seeing him in this clip, he's 00:21:52 probably 35 years old. and uh you know then we'll see him again at 45 and then at 55 and and see how he kind of progressed uh and became the person he is. And so I find that really fascinating just from a technological standpoint that we're able to do that now. Um so anyway, um this is just a short clip if we'd like to play it. Okay, here we go. Take me a moment to get it all set up and Oh, I've got a problem. Hold on. I've got to change the uh There we go. Live performance audio is on. And now 00:22:29 we'll share the screen with the video. And we'll make the video full screen. And here it goes. It was January or February 1955. Ted Owens was driving with his daughter Lori on a lonely road outside Fort Worth. It was the day that for PK man it all began to come [Music] together. This is amazing. Daddy, look. What's that? [Music] [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. It vanished like a breath held too long, as if the sky itself had blinked. To Ted Owens, it was no accident. It was the beginning of something vast. A signal 00:23:58 cast across the silence of space, answered, "Not with words, but with presence. What came next would strip away the veil of the ordinary, rewire his mind, and draw him into a shadow war between the waking world and something far stranger, something watching. Okay. And now I have to reset the audio. There we go. Okay. That was a great clip. very moving. I felt emotions in that scene. Oh, that's the highest compliment. Thank you. Because that's the that's what, you know, I always try to strive for is is to find an emotional 00:24:47 connection, you know, to the characters, whether it be a documentary or a or a narrative or a 30 second commercial or a two-hour feature. Uh I think you can see the the power of these kinds of reenactments there because you get this look. He's not horrified by the event. He's maybe startled for a moment, but then it's like, I found my tribe, you know. You know, it's like he's he's he's he he becomes, you know, uh almost more relaxed at the end of the clip as opposed to, you know, freaked out. And 00:25:16 and uh you know, I think that was very true with with Owens. And I think for a lot of people, I mean, I think that, you know, um when we understand that, you know, the possibility is real, that we're not alone, that there's a larger world out there, that we're not just all what's inside our own head, you know, um it can be very liberating. And for for Owens, it was um my mind always wanders back to the story of um Christopher Columbus. And you know, supposedly when the natives first saw the ships arrive 00:25:48 in the harbor, they they literally couldn't see it, you know, like they just couldn't process that maybe these ships from Europe were real. And um and it took the shaman to to go, "No, no, but look, see the thing with the the cross and the thing? That's that's the ship and those are people, you know, because uh uh for most people it's just so far outside of their reality. And and with uh Owens, you know, that broke him open somehow. And and and this is actually a very common thing, I think, with experiencers is that they will see 00:26:20 something in the sky or they'll have some sort of an experience and it does something where it just kind of cracks their reality open. And one of the thing that experiencers don't often talk about uh because it's too crazy sounding is is that it's not just seeing ships in the sky. Oftent times someone will see something in the sky but then they'll start having poltergeist activity at home and things will start flying around or they'll start having uh you know other kinds of weird experiences that 00:26:48 they can't explain. again as if when you see one crazy thing uh and recognize that the possibility is there that that's real and you're not just crazy, then it somehow opens you up, you know, and um it's just very common. And and uh it's often why people don't talk about these kinds of stories is because uh it's just too crazy, you know, for for their uh they self censor because your mom's not going to like it, your co-workers aren't going to like it. you know, um, everybody's going to say, "Okay, time to get out the, you know, 00:27:20 the rubber room for this person." And, um, in reality, it's it's a common thing and I think much more common than we realize. Yes. And many of the world's religions are based on these kinds of experiences. I'm just curious, Lance, with and Jeff, is this this scene that you just shared, was this the first time that Ted Owens was had an experience of seeing a craft or no of seeing a craft? I believe so. But Jeffrey, maybe I'm wrong. Is that correct? To my knowledge, it it would be because he had certain abilities up in 00:27:55 prior to this uh that they for example he ended up long before this experience. He was already working with JB Ry at the parasychology laboratory at Duke University. He had written to JB Ry while he was in the Navy in the 1940s because he was already having unusual experiences and he sought guidance from Ry as to how he could test himself and Ry corresponded with him and then eventually invited him to come to Duke University where Ry helped him enroll as a student and hired him as a an assistant to work at the Parasychology 00:28:38 Laboratory where he uh claims that all sorts of uh paranormal events were were happening around him and and it he didn't know how to attribute those events. Could they have been because he came from a family of people who had psychic experiences or he he began to feel like he was in touch with the powers of nature. But then after the UFO experience, he said, "No, it's not nature. It's specifically these alien entities and and uh you know I it actually and these are things that I do want to cover 00:29:16 in the documentary uh is the progression of how he got to the point of the space intelligences and started using that as kind of his I like to say like a permission slip you know to to do the types of things that he claimed to do. Um the uh it started actually when he was a child like I mean you know there's a great story uh that he tells about how he was at a public swimming pool and and he jumped off a diving board and then like just stuck midair for a little bit and then went down into the water and 00:29:45 other people saw it and and uh you know he he came out of it um thinking wow what an amazing thing that just happened to me and uh even the people that saw it shunned him immediately and and it started off this whole sort of a I mean it was one of probably many events that started this kind of need for him to prove himself uh you know in the uh you know sort of world of psychokinesis and then again was repeated when he was in the Navy you know in the Navy uh during World War II he was stationed in the 00:30:17 Pacific and uh had a levitation experience which we kind of allude to in kind of a tongue-in-cheek way in the teaser but um he claimed that happened that that he uh wound up levitating and and was seen by several of the other sailors and uh he he could not explain these things as to why they were happening to him and that's why he reached out to JB Ryan you know at Duke University who was one of the only people uh and most famous people to study you know parasychology uh especially at that time and and so that 00:30:51 really um there's a lifelong sort of need an ache within Ted Owens to to show the world what he can do. And and uh um and it's funny because I I've met other, you know, psychics and, you know, people who do paranormal type things uh over the years. Um even somebody like Nurie Geller, you know, who who it seems like a sh a trait they all share is is this this sort of need to share the things that they're doing and and sort of be taken seriously. And you can't blame them. I mean, I guess anybody wants to be taken seriously for what 00:31:28 they do, but u it's a lot harder. And um I also sort of believe I speculate I should say that uh these types of things happen when they're surrounded by a belief in them. It's kind of like you know with anybody like psychologically like if if you believe in a co-orker or a child or something and believe they're going to do well, they'll do well. And it seems like when it comes to, you know, unexplainable paranormal stuff, um, oftentimes it's, you know, the belief makes it more real somehow. And I 00:32:03 think that even goes back to shamanism and in sort of the the, uh, you know, all throughout the ages. Oftent times shamans will use tricks to uh, you know, put the audience in the mind state of where they want to be. Not just because they're fraudulent, but because they u they want to create a perception of belief because it somehow makes it easier for them to do what they do. You know, like take again is a great example. Uh I spent years talking to uh Russell um Tar about Geller and we debated back and forth whether I should 00:32:38 be in our movie Third Eyee Spies together because um I is a very flamboyant character. He he uh can be very controversial. You know, there's the famous Johnny Carson thing where he wasn't able to bend the spoons on live TV and does it discredit remote viewing or not? And and uh you know what's funny about Ur's story is that Urri could bend spoons all day long in any kind of a a casual setting. Um, and matter of fact, in one story, he got up from the lunch table and all the spoons in the cafeteria, you know, all around the 00:33:12 tables were were were bent, you know, like is the is the story. So, there's there's something going on there. But in a laboratory setting with skeptical scientists watching him, he he never bent a spoon, you know, at SRRI anyway, you know. So, um, and I've I've talked to Russell about it and I've said, "Do you think it's possible that, uh, you know, that your own belief system may have polluted the experiment and prevented him from doing something?" And, um, Russell actually agreed with that when we spoke about it, you know, 00:33:42 he said that was a distinct possibility, you know. So, anyway, personally observed Uri Geller uh, bending metal in a laboratory setting at UC Berkeley. So it does happen from time to time. Uh Lance, we have a question from Pablo Geralda who is one of our volunteers who asks if you can describe the process of creating a documentary film like yours. What is your approach? Oh, that's great. That that's great. And and uh uh I I actually thought about if I hadn't had this video ready, I was going to maybe take you 00:34:20 guys behind the scenes and maybe we can do that another day. um you know one uh with a different setup than this one. But um you know my my process has evolved over over time and and I started getting into documentaries um when um I was working at a a public television station where um I had to do basically everything on my own often from the lighting to the shooting to you know everything. And uh prior to that I had worked you know in you know mainstream media in in LA uh making feature films as a as a narrative director and and as 00:34:57 a narrative director you get to tell everybody what to do and then you sit in the back of the room and everybody gets paid lots of money to sit there and you know do what you're asking if you if you have a big budget. Um, but when I was at the TV station I was working at, that was right when uh digital cameras first started hitting, you know, the uh the DSLRs and the the the higher quality cameras. And prior to that, um, I'd never even thought about making documentaries because it's just too expensive with film and, you know, 00:35:25 processing and things like that. But all of the sudden, I was completely liberated and, um, I could just grab a camera and and it the footage was looking as good as what film used to look like. And I used to be a purist would only shoot on film and you know that kind of thing but it was just changing and that was really the beginning of the revolution that we're seeing now. And I often say that um film is one of the only true constantly evolving art forms. It's not set. It's it's constantly changing and 00:35:57 we're getting new tools and new ways of getting stories out and and uh telling stories and uh so I've really kind of embraced that new school of of film making now which I believe soon is going to really overtake the entire film industry uh very close like within months um and that's u you know a lot of live realtime animation things like uh Unreal Engine which was originally a game engine um and also more recently uh the AI tools that that are coming out. Um you know there's um absolutely stunning technological developments uh 00:36:34 that you can use to um create images and and uh video whole cloth and it's not really being used effectively yet because I think a lot of the um um a lot of people aren't aren't yet using it as a story storytelling tool. It's more about testing it and it's literally changing every week. But um what I recognize now is that the possibility is really there to tell huge stories um with this new technology and do it at a much much lower cost and much more quickly than you could have even done two three years ago. So, um, it's a 00:37:12 great time to be creative and, you know, and people are worried about AI and is it going to replace art or does it crib art or whatever, you know, um, artists have always been inspired by other art and and we all stand on the shoulders of giants because of all of the stuff that's come before us. And I feel like now, um, it's just gotten easier and easier to be creative. And you know, maybe one day soon, um, AI will be better than human beings at making films, but that's not here yet, and I don't think it will be. Um, I think it's 00:37:45 another tool in the toolbox. And so, I'm embracing anything I can get my hands on, uh, to tell the stories like this because, uh, a, it's cheaper, and b, uh, you know, because, um, I feel like I can be so much more, uh, freedom, you know, just freedom in in doing the the stories without the need for a large crew. Um, a lot of this I do solo, you know, I do mostly on my own. So, that's I hope that answers the question. Yeah, that was a great answer. Jeff, can I ask you a quick question before we get into all the fabulous ones 00:38:21 coming in from our audience members? What led you to become interested in Ted Owens and spend 10 or 11 years of your life studying him? Well, he was already a legend. Uh, when I started out, I had heard about him from multiple sources. People who were deeply into the UFO field uh knew about his claims because his claims go his public claims go back to the 1960s. And so there were UFO enthusiasts. The the first one I spoke to was a fellow named Robert Houston, who was Jean Houston's younger brother. 00:39:06 I was at the time taking Gan Houston's mystery school program, which was deeply influential in in my life. Uh and and I met her brother, visited his apartment in New York City, and he couldn't wait to pull out the Ted Owens book and and and show it to me, how to contact space people. And then a few years later, I was at SRRI International having my first experience in remote viewing uh with Hal Putoff and Russell Tar. And uh they uh were so excited. You know, we were doing remote viewing which was 00:39:45 world changing at at the time. They were, you know, the seinal people involved in creating the whole discipline of remote viewing and invited me to their laboratory because I was a graduate student who knew them. Uh to to demonstrate it, we had a successful demonstration. But the exciting thing they wanted to talk about more than anything else was this character Ted Owens who had written to them just a few weeks earlier saying he was going to prove to them how he was the world's greatest psychic by creating a huge 00:40:23 snowstorm in California in in an area where there's almost never any snow at a time where there was a drought and the newspapers said the drought shows no end in sight. He said, "I'm going to end that drought in a couple of days, and you'll know I did it because there's going to be every kind of crazy weather, winds, hail, snow, sleet, UFOs, and your local newspaper will publish a front page story saying that the drought is over." And when all of that happened within two or three days, put off and 00:40:58 tar were amazed. And Russell Tar sent a note back to Ted Owens saying, "Wow, that was a really great prediction." And Ted Owens responded by saying, "Hell no, that was no prediction. I caused it." And at that point, they were eager because they were getting funding from the CIA at the time in their remote viewing work and they wanted to keep a very low profile. They were already in embarrassed by the fact that Urri Geller, who had been in their laboratory, was such a famous public figure. They didn't like that. And and 00:41:37 Ted Owens gave every sign that he would be even more outrageous than Erie Geller. So, they thought, "We've got to get this material studied, but we can't do it here in our laboratory. And here's this promising young graduate student. maybe we can convince him to take on the project. And I was naive enough to say, "Yeah, I'll do it." And you walked out the door with the big box and they high-fived each other. Yeah. That that was the beginning of an adventure that continues to this day. And now here's an interesting question. 00:42:21 Andre Slavage Prosowski, one of our regular viewers, asks, "Do you recall any situations in which there were signals that Ted Owens contacted someone during the production of the film?" So, I know I have felt that I've been in contact with him since his death, Lance, but I never asked you, have have you ever felt a sense of of contact? Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. I I felt that way during Thirdey Spies often with Ingo Swan because uh I had an assistant that that would get whiffs of cigar smoke in in the edit room from you 00:42:59 know and Ingo used to smoke these big cigars and nobody smoked but uh in in terms of Ted Owens. I could give you an example from yesterday. I I woke up thinking about the interview today and and uh this is yesterday morning. And the first thing I always do is I have to take my dogs outside and I I put them out in the yard and we planted some little garden things in the backyard. So, I have to go out and water those. And um and I go out and I'm thinking I'm really tired. I I don't really want to 00:43:26 go water all the these little plants, you know. I I really wish it would rain or something, you know. Come on, Ted. Help me out, you know. And it's instantly started raining. It started raining while I was standing there getting the hose for the for the plants. It just started raining and and I was like, "Oh man." And I So I came back inside. We have two dogs and so I had to take the other one out now in the rain. And and by the time I went from the back door to the front door, it was like torrential downpour rain in that moment. 00:43:55 And and then I was like, "Oh man, I I don't really want to take the dog out. There's a dog that didn't want to go out in this." And so I'm like, "Oh man, I hope I hope Ted will stop this." you know, and and I by the time I took the dog out to the front lawn, it had stopped raining. Oh, that was it, you know, and and um and there's actually another story that I often think of long before I I knew anything about Ted Owens, knew anything about manted beings or anything else, you know, um of an esoteric nature. Uh you know, this was 00:44:25 probably circa 2011 or 10. uh when I when I had taken up meditation and in one of my earliest meditations I I just had a moment where um I I caught a flash of something which were these two giant beings like I'm standing there and I'm looking up at them in this meditation and they're they've got these like mantis looking heads and they're kind of hunched over looking down at me. one in a blue robe with all of these like kind of hieroglyphic looking things on it and the other one in a red robe with the 00:44:58 same and and it was just this like moment and then I instantly came out of it and I went, you know, that's really bizarre because that wasn't on my radar. Never heard of him before. Didn't know anything about it. And it wasn't until, you know, years later when um after we had met and I started getting some of these stories and things like that. And uh I wonder if that was uh Twitter and Twitter making a uh introduction back in the day several years earlier. Well, I think according to Ted Owens, 00:45:30 Tweeter and Twitter, the alien beings he referred to as the space intelligences who were manted like beings who who existed in a giant invisible UFO hovering over uh the Earth. that that these beings endowed him with these superpowers as an experiment to see how how the human civilization would respond to such a person. And I can't help but think that you and I are still part of that experiment. Even though Ted Owens died in 1987, we're we're still in uh you know carrying on the uh project that they 00:46:17 initiated with him back in the 1950s. And I've been led to believe that uh these beings probably have uh lifespans that are very different from ours. Uh, one of my professors at Berkeley uh, when I got my degree in parasychology was James Harter who was a a UFO researcher, the research director for an organization known as the Aerial Phenomenon Research Organization or APRO. He was the one who specialized in hypnotizing UFO abductees. And uh his information was that these these beings come from civilizations very different 00:47:01 from ours. Uh and they have lifespans equivalent to maybe 20,000 of our years. Wow. Wow. Yeah. I I mean um I wouldn't be a a bit surprised if if um our planet is is is being carefully watched in the same way that we would watch an uncontacted tribe in the Amazon. you know, um, you know, I've I've never been to the, uh, pristine forests of the Amazon, but I like knowing that they're there, and I kind of like knowing that there's, uh, people who are untouched by, you know, Coca-Cola and and, uh, um, 00:47:38 you know, all television and everything else and are living a completely different kind of life. And I understand that if I was just to show up there that it would probably be incredibly disruptive, uh, you know, to to their environment. and and uh I can't help but think that that's probably what uh you know whether you call them ETes or interdimensional beings whatever they are you know would probably feel about us. I think we're naive to think that we're at the top of the uh the ladder here. But I also think that just based 00:48:07 on on um experiencers that I've talked to over the years that that uh whatever else is out there that's watching us and possibly was communicating with with Ted Owens and others uh cares about what happens here and and uh is probably highly concerned with a lot of the BS stuff that we do here on this planet. You know, from destroying our environment to um nuclear war and etc. I mean, it's very possible that that uh there might even be um you know, maybe they're already here as Bob Bigalow says and and and uh don't want to get blown 00:48:42 up in a nuclear holocaust. Would prefer that we decide to work out our issues, you know, together, you know, and and that tends to be a theme that that I have gone to again and again in these types of films. like we did it in the phenomenon and I've done it in um you know other films like if you go back and look like the aerial school kids in phenomenon in in um Zimbabwe there you know like that whole contact experience they had with these creatures with the large heads and the uh and the almond 00:49:09 shaped eyes uh kind of the classic grays um there were you know dozens and dozens of these kids that all got the same telepathic impression of um environmental degradation of nuclear for um of basically saying, you know, you're too reliant upon your own technology and you're you're not getting the broader picture here. And uh and I hear that again and again. I one of the producers on the phenomenon actually u was an experiencer and back in like the uh I think it was the 60s, he had an abduction experience where these uh 00:49:43 beings took him aboard the craft apparently and showed him on these giant monitors. Uh this the same thing that those aerial school kids um described which was uh you know these things and you know then they looked at him and they said you did this everything we're showing you here you did this and and then and then they looked at him again and they said so what are you going to do about it and and he actually has devoted his life to uh to not having that outcome you know he's he's actually gone around uh um to different African 00:50:17 countries and uh different places even spoken at the UN uh about planting trees you know, and he he's planted millions and millions of trees and he's raised a lot of money to do it, you know, and it's like one person can actually make a difference in this stuff, you know, and I think that really is the key message to Ted Owens's legacy is that we're not helpless victims on this planet, you know, like we we actually, if we decide to have a say in the outcome, you know, like there's no prophet that's going to 00:50:46 say, you know, next week the asteroid hits and you're all dead, you know, like you get to decide. you know, are are you going to be on that timeline through the way, you know, your consciousness reacts uh or a different one? You know, that's my opinion, but but I think that there's a lot of evidence even scientifically that points in that direction. Yeah. Here's a question from a viewer named Jim Murray who asks, "Lance, can you say if any of your research about TED surprised you and changed your world 00:51:22 view?" It's a great question. That's a really good question. Um, yeah, I mean, absolutely. Uh, I mean, when I first, uh, you know, I first heard about PK man, um, in a talk that Jeffrey gave uh, circa 20 14 or 15. Um you were you were speaking at a um remote viewing u get together and I happened to be there and I heard him tell some of the stories about it and he he said uh you know I have these uh audio tapes of Ted Owens and um you know I can give you a copy of it. uh he told the audience uh he says but you got 00:51:58 to take it really seriously because it can really you know affect you and it can you know it's it's powerful and um I didn't take it that seriously because I thought well I mean what's going to happen I mean really but um delving more into the archives over the last few years and and uh more encounters with Jeffrey more encounters with other people and also just my own journey I mean it it's it has changed changed me from the perspective that um what I used to feel a lot more sort of skeptical about as kind of a 00:52:33 discerning skeptic which I like to be um I now have to really accept at at face value you know which is you know like if we can believe that dowsers are real you know if we can believe that that uh you know Native Americans can do a rain dance and and you know bring rain if we believe in the power of prayer that that uh uh prayer and you know mass prayer may have an effect uh random number generators uh affecting um random number generators at a distance with consciousness like on 911 or any kind of 00:53:05 mass event. Uh you know it's it's the it's not one thing that changes a person's point of view. It's the the body of evidence. It's being exposed to it over and over again and then it's the personal application of that in your life. You know, I've had so many experiences in my life where things could have gone horribly wrong and then they turn out okay, you know, and I'm hoping that I'm still on a roll and it will continue. But but uh you know, it's it's um everything in life is a risk, but when we understand that that we're 00:53:38 not helpless in it. It's a hard thing to learn, you know, and I I I hope that we can contribute to that because that this project and and some of the other things I've done help contribute to my sort of understanding of that. If that helps or makes any sense, I don't know. Jeeoff, I think the same question could apply to you if you care to answer that. Well, it it's you know Ted Owens had such a deep impact on on me that uh it changed my life very very dramatically because I was still a graduate student 00:54:17 studying parasychology when I encountered Ted Owens and began this research and included it in a first draft of my doctoral dissertation. Well, what do you suppose happened then? One of my committee members said, "I quit." Robert Morris, who who was a distinguished parasychologist at the time, and uh he he shortly thereafter moved to Edinburg, Edinburgh as it's said in in Scotland and established a the Kesler chair of parasychology there, which is still ongoing. uh but he left my doctoral dissertation committee because he said 00:54:58 uh from his point of view UFOs and parasychology should never be combined. Parasychology has enough trouble as a a parascience all by itself. It it's it doesn't need to be uh contaminated by contact with UFOs. uh sort of reminds me of uh back in the day Sammy Davis Jr. a famous entertainer who was both black and Jewish used to say, "I have enough sorus being black. Do I have to be Jewish?" Also, you know, that's exactly like what uh Russell's concern was doing um Third Eye Spies when we did that movie. You know, 00:55:44 he didn't really want to get into the the psychokinesis or the PK the UFO subject or anything like that because it was it was just a bridge too far. It's like you're you're uh one unbelievable thing at a time, he always used to say. But at the same time, um I think there's more and more mounting evidence that one thing is related to the other. You know, that that there is not this sort of clear delineation in the different fields. Um you you can't have the UFO subject without having the consciousness 00:56:16 component of it. And uh I think there's no clearer connection to that than Hal Putoff, you know, like the guy that was doing the remote viewing stuff has now come forward in the program and in other talks other places talking about his work with the government uh researching the UAP subject. And who better to research the UAP subject, although he does not say this in any way, you know, that he's actually doing this. But in my own estimation, who better than someone who understands consciousness really 00:56:43 well, you know, and uh and then you have people like um Jacob Barber, you know, who who just recently came out on NewsNation and uh has been vetted, you know, and we spoke in the program to u to a 37year veteran of the Senate Armed Services Committee, you know, as a staff member who who vouched for several of these uh undercover sort of whistleblowers that are coming forward in the UAP field. And Jake Barber being one of those people who came forward to Congress, uh, you know, was a security guard, uh, 00:57:15 moving down, um, exotic craft around, often US exotic craft, but, uh, he what he claimed was sometimes non-human craft as well. Um, but to me the most shocking statement he made in that Ross Kohhart interview, if we're going to believe his credentials and if we're going to believe that he's real, which personally I I have no reason not to because I think he's been very thoroughly vetted, uh he claims that the government still operates teams of psionics that that uh go out when they when they uh site these 00:57:46 craft and uh in particular try to make contact with these craft. And and uh what I found the most shocking thing that the guy said more than anything else in that interview was that uh these teams of psionics not only make contact with the craft but they try to hijack sometimes the systems that control it which is all consciousness based and make it land. you know, like that's so blow mind, you know, first of all, I think it's very rude, but but uh but but secondly, it's it's uh blow mind if it 00:58:19 is true that human consciousness is that powerful that that you can not only control a craft but hijack it. I mean, it's it's so crazy. But at the same time on the progression of craziness over the years and the disclosures and the things that we understand uh it's just one more thing saying that your consciousness is very powerful and that we should not discount any part of the field. You know if you're going to believe one crazy thing it's almost like you have to be open to to all of it and and at the same 00:58:51 time remain as a discerning skeptic and not just swallow anything. But um you know there there is a progression of evidence that's building all the time and I think one of the biggest dangers to parasychology or eupfology is to try to like cordon it off and make it just one thing. um even though is very common that it's you know dogma is the biggest enemy that we have on this planet you know no matter what it's about you know just the the sort of dogged determination that I'm right and you're wrong and only my way works and your way 00:59:25 is wrong you know that is such a self-destructive and unproductive way of doing science I think anyway well it's true everything that you're saying is is correct Lance but Let's remember this is the year 2025. So we we've come a long way. Back in 1980 when I first uh received my doctoral degree in parasychology because I had done this research with Ted Owens and it was in my doctoral dissertation and it had become even then a little bit what I was known for. The guy who was willing to explore this area. I became uh completely 01:00:10 unhirable in any parasychology laboratory. Uh they they were looking for people who didn't have anything in their history that that would be considered controversial like like that. So which ultimately worked out for the best for me. Uh but at the time it meant, you know, I had to start scrambling and figuring out how am I going to earn a living because I I naively imagined that maybe SRRI or some of the other laboratories would uh offer a job to somebody who who just got the world's first doctoral degree in 01:00:51 parasychology. How wrong I was. So that that experience with Ted Owens has really shaped my entire life since That's actually fascinating. I I didn't know that part, you know. I didn't know that that uh that you had experienced blowback even after getting your your uh doctorate. I knew that the getting the doctorate itself, it was a controversial, you know, topic that you were considering covering. But um that's really interesting that that uh you know, even in the field of parasychology, you know, it may have 01:01:21 held you back in some way initially because um you know, thank goodness it kind of did because you you did your show and you did lots of other things. But but it's it's it's very interesting um you know that that even the people who uh would be considered you know believing in things that are that are not mainstream there's a limit you know there's always a limit you know it's like yeah okay fine I'll buy that somebody can bend a spoon but I would never buy that someone can actually you know uh cause a tornado or or 01:01:54 call down a UFO Yeah. Yeah. It it was like that. And and in fact, back in 1981, as I recall, my membership application to become a full member more than a student member of the parasychological association was turned down even amongst parasychologists. They didn't want me to be part of their association back then. Wow. So, uh, it has it's clearly a a big struggle. Now, I just discovered a question from a woman, a person whose YouTube name and probably real name is Angel King, and she asks, "Hey, did Ted Owens ever sit 01:02:41 with a sketch artist on these tall beings? If so, where can they be seen?" And it just so happens I have this sketch that Owens personally made and I can share it. Uh it appeared in his book, How to Contact Space People. There it is. There's Twitter and Twitter. They are inside a large UFO. They are looking at something like a TV screen in which they can see the thoughts that are projected to them by Ted Owens. He says that he was trained to use their symbolic language and to send pictures to them of the different effects. And if 01:03:25 you look closely, it says world, heat, and drought. And and so he's asking them to send rain to end a drought. Uh there you can see it's like the sun, I guess, is shining so brightly. and and Ted Owens say is asking them to provide relief to a droughtstricken stricken area which is one of the things he did often. And so there you see his depiction of uh the two aliens he believed were responsible in a large part for his powers. I I find it really um interesting that that Ted always would say, you know, 01:04:06 they were they were uh testing me to see people how people would react to me having this this power. Um, but I also tend to think that it more likely was a a test of what would a human being do with this power, you know, and and you know, there's a whole school of thought that, you know, like like Jacques Valet, if you ask Jacques Valet about this phenomenon and ETSs and this kind of thing, I mean, he's been studying, you know, eupfology forever, longer than probably anybody alive. and and um he 01:04:41 would say, you know, he's not even sure any of it's real. you know that that maybe all of this is is like a teaching mechanism, you know, that that may appear as a UFO or as a manted being or as a fairy or as a you know, dragon or you know, who knows what something in the DMT realm, you know, um but it's all there for the same purpose, which is uh you know, again, just to kind of crack us open and act as a permission slip, you know, and and I I go back and forth on it, but I think that there is no 01:05:11 wrong answer. I think in one way it's just as real as you or I having this conversation, but in another sense it's not, you know, it's it's like we're we're we're kind of making it up as we go. You know, it's like we we only render what we sort of can cognize and see. So um you know it's it's an interesting scenario as to just like you know how how much of it was Owens and how much of it was you know these space intelligences and where is a separation of the two or the three and all of us. Yeah. Yeah. And and and we we we hear 01:05:52 these stories all the time. I mean oftentimes has nothing to do with UFOs. Uh, it's it's uh near-death experiences like you guys have a lot of talk to a lot of near-death experiencers or or uh you know um DMT experiences like like um what Jeffree was talking about earlier, you know, it's it's there's just a catalyst. there's a thing that happens, you know, and and until you have that thing happen, it's like you just got these blinders on and and it's really really hard to to see or or to cognize, 01:06:20 you know, um really your own potential, I think, you know, and and again, then we ask ourselves, so what happens if everybody could, you know, wake up on the wrong side of the bed and cause a thunderstorm or something? I mean, then we're, you know, that's a whole other question which I can't answer. Yeah. or believe that they could do it. Yeah. And maybe practice in some regard. I think that that is that brings up I think the core issue with parasychology in general or at least that seems to be 01:06:48 one of the core issues is fear around these abilities and that on one hand I think people are mesmerized by it and on another hand people are might reject it out of maybe in some ways a healthy fear or for us to really contemplate if this is really possible which it seems it is how do we go forward with that and Jeeoff I know you've contemplated in that for decades, right? Well, of course, many of the episodes in the Ted Owens story resulted in loss of life or loss of property or serious damage to to 01:07:29 people. Uh, and it wasn't always pleasant. And and so I learned a lesson from all of that because I maintained a a good relationship with Ted Owens the whole time. Uh e even to the point of criticizing him uh for what he was doing, I think he respected me uh because I treated him with a certain amount of courtesy which most other people didn't. when he went into a a new city like on one occasion he walked into the offices of the San Francisco Chronicle, the big newspaper in San Francisco to announce that he, the great 01:08:09 PK man, had arrived and was about to end another drought in in the city. Well, he didn't get past the guards in the lobby. They threw him out right away. and and often times when he would announce, "I'm about to do another demonstration," people would laugh at him and ridicule him. And so he would say, "Well, I guess I need to teach you a lesson." And it kind of worked that way. And so the lesson for me and I suppose I learned this lesson much earlier when I was working in San Quentin prison doing 01:08:43 group therapy with murderers and rapists. Everyone no matter how much of a criminal they may be is a precious human being and deserves a measure of courtesy and and respect. And when you give that to them uh chances are they're not going to harm you. The actually on one occasion uh I did tell Ted Owens we had a we had a little bit of an argument because we were on the phone talking and he had just done one of his most amazing demonstrations uh producing a UFO sighting for me in in the San Francisco Bay area. He said it 01:09:26 would occur within a number of days. It would be seen by hundreds of people. it would be photographed and the photograph would be published on the front page of one of your local newspapers. That all happened within days. And so he was really, you know, in feeling his oats at that time. And I had the gall to say to him, "Well, you promised three sightings and so far we've only had two." and he got really angry, slammed the phone down, and I suddenly began to feel a sore throat coming on. The kind of you 01:10:04 get this scratchy tickle in your throat, and you know, uhoh, I'm about to get it's about to get worse. This is the first sign of a bad sore throat. And that's how I felt. And then 45 minutes later, he called me back and he apologized without saying what had happened. He said, "Jeffrey, I apologize. I will never do that to you again." And immediately the sore throat cleared and I was fine. So to me the lesson here is no matter who you are with every human being, every sentient being deserves a measure 01:10:46 of courtesy and respect. You don't have to be mean to anybody unless maybe you know you're struggling for your life or something that you're in in in the middle of a battle. But short of that, I think people deserve uh to be treated respectfully. You know, um a lot of times people would ask Russell Tar, why is it that you got such great results at SRRI, uh you know, better results than many of the other labs that have studied remote viewing? And his answer is very simple. He says it's unconditional positive regard. And 01:11:23 uh there's a there's an author or a philosopher that he got that from and I don't remember the person's name but but that that was his philosophy and I think it's a very very good philosophy you know and and and in particular when it comes to uh parasychology and the paranormal is is that you you have to have unconditional positive regard because you don't know what someone else is going through. I think it's a good philosophy in life frankly. Yeah. I mean it's it's a um you know you you have to 01:11:50 just take things as they come from an open heart. I think it was according to my search here Carl Rogers. Carl Rogers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Carl Rogers. Yeah. Um the found centered therapy. Yeah. I I I also want to point out that that uh you know from studying a lot of Owens's uh correspondence that that it's not as his the way he he claimed his abilities worked, it's not as easy as like I'm going to give Jeffree the the force choke now. You know, it's like oftentimes um he would sort of put out a general 01:12:28 intention but have no idea how it was actually going to manifest. Uh and and a great example of that is uh this guy Lance Renzel. Does that ring a bell, Jeffrey? uh the the the Cowboys uh star player, you know, who who he was trying to make a point uh um you know, through his uh sports manipulation and he wanted to get Lance Renzel off the Dallas Cowboys list and uh um and then Lance Renzel had this like bizarre meltdown where he uh you know exposed himself to and then just it's like a really big 01:13:02 mess and the guy like wound up going to jail and it was terrible. and and uh in the correspondence, Ted writes, you know, I had no idea that that I was going to do something like that or it was going to work out that way. I just wanted to get the guy off the field and I'm going to send him positive energy to try to like you know, work it out, you know, like I I really didn't want something like that to happen. And I feel like um you know Ted was sort of like a bull in a china shop and and uh many many of the things that he did he 01:13:30 he he didn't uh um intend to do that way but it was it's sort of just like unchecked. It's like uh the Twilight Zone episode with the little kid that can send you to the cornfield for for any reason. But but he's not trying to do it necessarily. Although I think there were times where you know he just had a really a bad temper. I think all of the years of being ridiculed um and you know he he would drink heavily he would he would uh you know spend a lot of time in isolation and he wasn't financially successful um all of that 01:14:02 combined I think would make him sort of sort of unstable and you know a fascinating character but um also sort of tragic you know in a way and and you know we think of like sort of healing abilities and the abilities to summon UFOs and all these things as this sort of angelic thing that you must be this you know saint in order to do and and uh he's perfect evidence that that uh you know that's not the case necessarily being psychic and being saintly uh I'm sure there's a lot of overlap actually 01:14:37 but they are distinct well you know one of the uh conversations that I had with uh Kit Green you know I don't know if you know you know Kit Green who was the former uh head of biosciences for the um CIA um and was the contract monitor at SRRI for a while and circa 2015 I went to Wayne State University to interview him you know for third eye spies and uh he said some stuff which at the time I was very skeptical of and and after being exposed to the Owen story I'm now much less skeptical of uh and that is 01:15:13 that he felt the only really really good people who could do PK or or uh remote viewing like the 100enters like the people who got it right all the time uh had very very high IQs you know and were and were very very smart uh you know um I didn't know this but apparently he told me that uh Pat Price's IQ was off the charts and Pat Price was the best remote viewer or at least one of them that they ever had and the fact that Owens was a member of Mensah uh and uh was so brilliant and it comes through in his writing and and 01:15:51 uh you know he was really kind of his own researcher in a way but he was so smart. It makes me wonder because at the time I thought, yeah, you know, Kit being a former CIA guy, maybe he's just, you know, it's kind of a you you must be brilliant in order to do this. You know, sure you can carry a tune, but to really be good at it. And and uh, you know, makes me wonder if if uh Owens's IQ actually played into sort of his abilities in some way. Lance, we have a question here from uh Pablo Geraldo again, one of our 01:16:24 volunteers who is asking, "What is unique about the PK man documentary compared to your previous films?" And also, let's remind our viewers that we do have a GoFundMe page and perhaps you could explain why. Sure. Sure. Um well what's what's unique about this is that I'm going about it in a uh really a different way. I already kind of explained like you know how I'm kind of embracing new technologies for this. Um, frankly, when we started discussing this documentary, I thought it was going to be more costly and time consuming and 01:17:00 much more difficult and uh, you know, because um, you know, I was still reliant upon, you know, um, older tools like, you know, like going to stock footage sites, having to go to, you know, news stations and gather stuff. We still have to do some of that, but um there is a way to narratively tell the story now that didn't exist three or four years ago. And and that's I think going to make it really unique as sort of a hybrid uh docu drama, you know, like um as opposed to just strictly talking heads because 01:17:35 there's not that many talking heads, frankly, left. It's like we have to proceed off of um you know, the literature and the the letters. it becomes much more Ken Burns Civil War than it does uh you know a contemporary documentary about modern times. Um so so there's that. I think that makes this documentary really unique is that we're going to approach this from a much more kind of a narrative storytelling perspective. Um and what was the other part of the question? I'm sorry. Um to talk about why we're uh creating a 01:18:10 GoFundMe page, right? Crowdfunder page. So, so, um, I'm I'm we're doing this basically with or without, um, outside assistance. And, uh, right now, you know, I've I've broached it with a few documentary, uh, distributors, and there's people that are interested in the documentary, but not in terms of putting up large advances. That's just not where the industry is at right now. So, if the movie is going to happen, it has to happen because we make it happen. And um I need to be able to um support 01:18:40 myself to do the labor and um and you know bring in a small group of people to help uh you know put everything together and and uh you know really it's it's going to be what we as a community put into this you know is going to be what makes this film happen you know and uh it's just a dayby-day thing as I I we have a a good script and a layout for the documentary. We've done some interviews. we've um got enough material, more than enough material to make three documentaries, frankly, but um it's just getting all of that takes 01:19:14 time and it takes money, you know, to so there's there's really no mystery about it and and uh but I do feel like we are at a place technologically in the film industry and whether it be any kind of documentary or or narrative film that we can um do far far more with less. So, I'm trying to just, you know, make this thing happen, basically. And I should let our viewers know that there is a link if you're interested in in helping us, there is a link to our crowdfunder page in the description of this video. 01:19:51 The description, if if you're watching the uh archival video, you just scroll down uh below the actual video. I don't know for viewers watching us live if if it shows up, but it it will be there in in the video description that normally appears when you scroll down. Yeah, it's there now as well. I I want to also say um that one of the things now really driving me to do this is is the support that we've gotten thus far. I mean, it's just it's it's a handful of people, but I mean, there's people who have donated 01:20:26 $1,000 to this project, which amazes me, you know, and and and it honors me and I'm like really moved um by the the the people who have believed in in the project and I know really believe in you, Jeffrey, and have followed the show for a long time and and um believe that this is a story that that deserves to be told because um you know, that's that's what it's going to take really for for us to um see this through to completion. So I'm just going you know week by week and and uh working and and we'll just 01:20:56 keep moving forward and I'm thank you to everybody who's contributed. So uh there are some additional questions quite a few questions coming in from our uh viewers. People want to know for example have we been in touch with any of the followers of of Ted Owens? people who worked with him and knew him while he was alive. Great question. And I have read some of the correspondence um from those people, but uh but no, no, we have not. I haven't anyway. I don't know. Have you Jeffrey reached out? Well, we of course 01:21:31 of course there's Wayne Grover. We have his audio testimony. That's right. Uh we we just uh we just contacted Wayne Grover. Wayne Grover was uh one of the reporters for the National Enquirer. And this is going to be a big part of the documentary because it's my favorite story that I love telling. And uh Wayne Grover um was based in Lantana, Florida at the Enquirer offices there, National Enquirer. And Ted had been hired by one of Wayne's producers uh or editors to make a UFO appear. And and so he showed up at the site. He made the 01:22:06 UFO appear. and and uh um the producer who was there with the camera said, "Well, yeah, but it's like lights in the sky. It's not I can't really make out anything clearly. It could just be, you know, something else. I I don't know. I'm not going to pay you." So, whatever their fee was, the Owens wasn't going to get paid. And Owens being Owens was like, "Oh, yeah. Well, I'm going to bring a hurricane down on you for for uh you know, for doing this to me." and and uh I guess like what a week later, 3 4 days later, 01:22:37 unexpectedly there's three hurricanes converging on Lantana, Florida, you know, and and uh Wayne Grover calls Owens and says, "Um, look, man, I I live in Lantana, Florida, and there's a whole bunch of people that are going to get hurt or die if you if you do this. If it's you and you're doing this, you got to call it off." And Owens said, "You know, you're right. I was upset and I wasn't thinking clearly, and I'm I'm going to take it back. I'll I'll I'll uh I'll call it off. And then sure enough, 01:23:04 the hurricanes just part go back out to sea and it didn't didn't hit Florida at the time. So, uh we need to find the original hurricane footage of of that, you know, like that's one of the things that we really need to find. Came David, it it was a major hurricane. Yeah. Yeah. and and um so what we do have as opposed to contemporary interviews with a lot of his followers is um things like Wayne Grover's at the time audio interview you know from that era uh Jeffrey was u you know forwardinking enough to actually go 01:23:40 out and get several audio interviews um most importantly with Owens himself you know I mean you you you took a I'm sure a real toreal at the time and and um got Owens to sit there for days on end and just tell his whole story, his whole life story, you know, um, and then also interviewing some of the other people that knew him. So, we've got those audio tapes as a good jumping off point. And again, it would be really, really hard for me as a documentary filmmaker to only just have the audio tapes if this 01:24:10 was three, four years ago and then have nothing else to put over it. That would mean I would have to create everything, you know, go out and get stock footage for everything or um, you know, figure something out. But with the advent of AI, with the advent of new technology, we can actually uh create, you know, things to to have in the documentary to go with that audio or with the original letters that we also have much more easily. and and uh I am sort of going to take a or am taking a Ken Burns style 01:24:42 approach to the making of this where um but with a much more visual flare than Ken Burns but but uh where we literally will take letters that are um written by Owens written to Owens back and forth from Jeffrey to Owens to other scientists uh public personalities um and and then reenact them in Owen's own voice you know use using the technology now uh reading some of that correspondence and bringing it back to life. And uh it's kind of like Owens is reborn in in the documentary, not just with his original archival audio, but 01:25:15 with his correspondence as well, which I find really interesting. And uh one of I can't now locate it, but one of our viewers happened to notice that there was one of Ted Owen's students who who actually commented, oh, it was probably a couple of years ago in the comment section on one of our videos, as I recall, a woman named Janice Lesley who took his training course and he taught her how to go out at night and and make UFOs appear. Back uh in in the 1970s before other people were doing it, Ted Owens was 01:25:59 training people to do that and and some of those people I think are still around. I I you might have audio from Janice. I don't know if it's Janice, but there's a woman in a lot of the audio uh that you interviewed. I I don't It could have been her. Um, it could very well have been. Mhm. But but but yeah, now sort of summoning UFOs has become the vogue kind of thing, you know, to to do. But uh yeah, it's been around forever, you know, and and uh uh Ted was doing it before it was cool. There's a question from a viewer who is 01:26:37 also one of our volunteer moderators, and I just want to give them a big thank you. mortal clown who's asking they were just coming in when you were talking about the story with the tarantulas with Ted Owens and they asked may I please ask who was surrounded by tarantulas as they were just coming in and so this is that's a great question thank you uh you know this is the second part of the scene that we showed at the beginning of this live stream you know like so Ted Owens sees the UFO initially this starts 01:27:08 the series of sort of telepathic communications uh that he starts accrediting to the UFO uh you know starts this idea that he can create grids on maps and things and or maps in his mind to control weather patterns and you know this whole thing that that it opens up for him. Um but it culminates several years later when um basically he wakes up uh in the middle of the I guess desert you know somewhere where where uh he's laying flat on the ground naked in the desert and the way he tells the story that basically he was 01:27:43 surrounded by a circle of tarantulas that were he he claimed they were almost like protecting him as opposed to trying to come near him because they they were nowhere near him. There was just this he said there was a circle of of spiders surrounding him and he was laying there in the desert with no clothes on and basically just got up and in a days hobbled back to to to get help for civilization. It's basically an abduction experience and he claims after that experience that they actually did operate on his brain and and uh that 01:28:14 gave him an enhancement to uh what he was doing. And uh he would show people this scar on his head. And I know he had it like uh scanned and nothing anomalous was found, but he always claimed that that was uh you know related to this UFO abduction experience that he had that led to an enhancement of his abilities. So um so I that'll be the you know the the culmination of the scene that I did. I'm already working on it and uh you know we'll have that probably in a week or so. Um but it's uh visually really 01:28:45 really interesting. It's the story that he tells and and uh you know much again not an uncommon story. I mean if you look at fire in the sky or or so many of these other kind of um abduction stories that have existed over the years oftentimes you know that's that's what he claims. So it'll be fascinating to do visually. And here's a fascinating question or a question to which there is a fascinating answer from Mike Frank who says, "Has Ted Owens done any PK from beyond the grave to let Dr. Michlov know he 01:29:22 survived death?" And in fact, that is exactly what happened. And it is well documented. Give me a moment to share my screen and I'm going to Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to go and show you if you go to our listings page and I'm going to share it right now. You can see here's the URL newthinkingaloud.comlistings htm or html. And uh if you go to the inpresence uh number 244 and 245, I talk about the return of the PK man and the PK man pilot study interim report and uh those are uh the experiences. It was a couple of years 01:30:15 ago in which Ted Owens pretty well convinced me that he's still active and functioning uh in the other side of the grave, so to speak. So yes, I I believe that uh Ted Owens is actually still out there and and from wherever he is. He seems to be as Lance talked about earlier still affecting the weather here on on Earth or at least uh he's an archetype in our mind. You see, the tricky thing ultimately is is the idea of interconnectedness. Were each of us interconnected with everything? I I uh we should probably mention I know 01:31:00 I'm fascinated by the study that you did and you told me about at the time and I still think it might make a worthy inclusion somehow in the documentary is uh what what Jeffrey did was he he u sort of in meditation reached out to Owens and said uh hey can you make uh the weather uh warmer this winter in Ukraine? Uh because they were wasn't that am I correct in saying that you were you were you were Yeah. Yeah. you you were you know we we want to be able to make it so that when Russia tries to destroy the infrastructure of Ukraine's 01:31:31 grid and freeze everybody out over the winter that they're unable to do that. And they they had a statistically um you know not likely uh warm winter that that winter when you did the experiment. and and um and again even more dramatic, Lance, a few days after the experiment began, there was a heat wave in which a thousand cities across Europe all experienced record hot weather. That's right. And it wasn't just Ukraine. It was because Europe wasn't getting the gas from from Russia. And so they needed 01:32:07 to they needed a warmer winter because they had not had the time to uh make the gas surplus that they needed for the winter because everybody burns gas for for winter. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, fascinating. But again, it it begs this like fundamental question which is that is it that Ted Owens did it or is it that Ted Owens was the permission slip for Jeffrey Mishoff to do it? you know, like like did did you you know this this this fundamental interconnectedness? Um you know, is it that uh Ted Owens goes out into the into 01:32:40 the field of energy around us somehow, the matrix, whatever you want to call it, and and then uh you can connect to that energy, but then you're the one that's basically doing it because you're directing it, you know, and and it's there's a million different ways to think about it. And it's fascinating and speculative, but but it is um really does beg the question, you know, like do do humans have this sort of uncanny ability to do more and more things once somebody else does it? You know, like once somebody proves it's 01:33:11 possible, you know, does that open it up? I'll bet you there's some truth to that in a in a small sort of a laboratory type setting. I haven't looked up the studies, but I'm sure they exist where um it becomes easier. As a matter of fact, I can I can actually tell you in speaking to remote viewing teachers, you know, like one of the the little known secrets of remote viewing teachers is what they'll do is they'll have a folder of targets for remote viewing and you you're you're going to take out one of the random pictures and 01:33:40 you're going to write a random number that associates with that picture. Give it to the remote viewers. They're going to look at it and uh just the numbers and then they're going to tell you what that picture is. you're holding, right? Um without seeing it. Well, the little known secret is that they'll use the same ones over and over again um because once somebody has seen it psychically, they they somehow understand that um it makes it easier for everybody else to then see it later. You know, there's a 01:34:07 it's like you're breaking some sort of a consciousness barrier where where that information gets uploaded to the cloud or something and it's just easier to see. you know what if that applies to everything you know I don't know but but it's a a fascinating idea to think about we have what do we have eight seven minutes seven minutes left so just to let everybody know we have lots of great questions coming in of course as usual we're not able to get to all of them Jeff do you have any burning ones you 01:34:41 want to ask Lance uh here's a question from a viewer whose YouTube name is forshore and he asks, "Is there anyone similar to Ted Owens living today?" Absolutely. Absolutely. I I've I have met um a girl um who uh claims that she can manipulate weather and uh I even sat at a at a party w and and she said, "See these trees over here? Watch this." and she does this little thing and then and then the tree started swaying when none of the other trees were swinging. It was it was a trip. But uh I and there's 01:35:18 another guy that I need to figure out who it is, but it was actually her mentor. It was a guy teaching people how to do this sort of thing. And and uh the one thing I gleaned from that conversation, which was fairly brief, was that the the person who taught her to do that was using grid patterns the same way Owens talked about using. So, I don't know if he learned it from reading about Owens or if this was his own thing, but um but I know that he was out there claiming that he also was doing that. And also, I mean, it's not unusual 01:35:49 for uh Native Americans and Aboriginal people around the earth to believe in things like rain dancing and uh things like that. So, it's it's not an unknown thing. I mean, would you agree, Jeffrey? I would agree. and and there are certainly accounts of different shaman uh particularly in Africa and and amongst Native Americans who have feats comparable to Owens. Uh what makes Owens unique is that decade after decade he endeavored to convince scientists that these abilities were real. And I have in 01:36:24 my files over 160 of Owen's demonstrations. They didn't all work out the way he said they were. My rough estimate is that twothirds of them did and that the odds of any single one working out because he he selected things that were, you know, unlikely and unanticipated. Maybe there was a 1% probability that they would happen, but twothirds of the time they did in fact work out. So I I would say he was enormously successful. uh but maybe only twothirds of the time. it what's what what actually shocks me 01:37:06 about Owens and I don't even know how he could have done this especially back then you know this being the 1960s and 70s but when you look through those files and you see that he's sending you correspondents which is also CCD to you know Russell and how and he and uh Fogle and all these like scientists at the time and he's having to make photocopies of all of these like newspaper clippings and correspondents and predictions that he makes ahead of time. I mean, that was a full-time job for this guy to sit here 01:37:37 and track all of these different things that that he was claiming to do. He would first have to make the prediction, publish it somehow, either in a magazine or a newspaper or at least in correspondence to scientists and then, you know, get the result and then send them the result saying, "See, here I did And there's just hundreds and hundreds of pages of these, you know, handwritten notes that he would circle something and point at it and say, "Here's what I said on this day. Here's where it came true." 01:38:06 And and he had the foresight not only to do that, but also when there were witnesses, he'd gather affidavit. And and when you first told me about that, Jeffrey, I thought, "Oh, that's interesting." But when I actually am I'm am going through those files and I'm seeing the affidavit and I'm seeing, you know, notorized, you know, notorized affidavit by like, yes, I saw Ted Owens do this thing and this is what happened. This is what occurred. Like the uh um the post office bombing uh that I think you weren't even aware of when we found 01:38:34 it. you know, that was in the archives where where he had claimed that uh this post office in Norfol, Virginia was going to be uh bombed, you know, over the weekend and then sure enough, somebody threw a pipe bomb in at the window, you know. So, uh you know, it's it's uh the in a way he was his own researcher and that's where I think his his brilliance uh came in. you know, he was in many ways unstable, but he was also very brilliant and able to coherently document everything that was happening because otherwise we would 01:39:07 have nothing to talk about. This would just be an interesting anecdote uh at a dinner party and and that's it. But but there's actually claims that were backed up by um by evidence, which is really the thing that makes this solid. I've managed to preserve two large filed cabinets full of data, hundreds of documents. Yeah. Yeah. And and and uh we thought that you'd scanned everything and I had looked at all of these files and then I sat there at with you at your house for uh I don't know three days or something 01:39:39 and I I thought, "Oh, I'll just scan these." I thought, "There's not that many." And then I kept pulling out more and more and more and the stuff had not it was only some of it scanned, you know, like not all of it was even scanned. and and uh just a treasure trove of of stuff that that uh you know even just from the the field of eupfology you know just to have all those old newspaper clippings and things from that time is so fascinating to look at you know it's truly a historical thing a rare archive that you both are 01:40:08 bringing to life yes and we we do need help I just want to say so please if you haven't gone to the to the pkmanfilm.com site or the link that Jeffrey provides ides. We we uh um you know need as many contributors and and partners in making this as as we can get. And you are offering really wonderful incentives and gifts for people who donate to helping make the film happen. Yes. Once we're done with the first uh the 60-day uh crowdfunding, I think we have like 20 days left to to raise money and and uh 01:40:42 once that finishes, then we'll send out um you know um digital files of the uh the PK man u class that that Owens offered for the people who had that. And then some of the other perks like um I offered some sort of like I think unique ones where if somebody wants to be in the film um you know I can uh at the at as we move forward I'll reach out if they have that perk and uh you know just ask for a photograph with flat lighting and a neutral expression and and uh and even a sample of your voice if you want 01:41:14 to give it and uh you'll you can be a background player in the film. we'll we'll we'll put you in, you know, um because that's a good possibility not to do. Uh and then uh you know, I reached out to a friend of mine who does um PK classes, uh who may be willing to, you know, come out or if not, my wife also can can do that kind of thing. Um and uh do a little PK demonstration and how you would develop your own PK, you know, as a as a live course as part of this. Um, and I'm blanking on some of the other 01:41:44 perks, but I know there's there's uh several really kind of cool ones that we came up with. Well, thank you, Lance, for being with us. Our time is up for today, but it's been a real pleasure to see you again to share all these wonderful stories. I'd like to remind our viewers they can link to the crowdfunder page by going to the description of the video that appears under the video on YouTube itself. And also if you go to newthinkingaloud.org you can if you wish sign up for our free weekly newsletter. We also have a magazine we 01:42:28 publish. We have a book series and uh we're putting up videos practically every day now. So uh and in addition uh some of you may be interested in volunteering. New Thinking Aloud is actually primarily a volunteer organization. We're only able to do all of these things because we have volunteer help. And if you'd like to join our community of volunteers, for example, helping out with these live stream broadcasts, uh your assistance is is welcomed. And and we'll be posting soon another uh se sequence. Um there's a a brief 01:43:08 challenger explosion sequence I still I want to give you soon. And uh and then the the tarantula sequence I told you we're working on as well. So So eventually you can look for those soon. Emmy, do you have any final thoughts? Oh, well, my final thought is that it's just an honor to be with both of you. I'm really excited to see the film. And there was a question of when they can watch the film. I don't know if you have any predictions of when it might be available. Um, well, it it's it depends 01:43:39 on on partially on the crowdfunding and then and then finding a distributor. Um, we're going to have a a private screening once we finish the the first uh cut of it, whenever that is. That's for one of the perk another one of the perks, I think. But um that may be in person or it may be online uh depending. And um and uh I would say probably I mean for sure I want to be done with this this year, you know, I want to I want this to get because documentaries can take sometimes years, but but I think we have a really 01:44:09 good beat on it. I'm moving through the material fairly quickly now. Um, and it just really comes down to u any kind of financial help we can get to to finish this, whether it's looking for an advance from a distributor or something like that because then I can multiply the the labor involved and get it done more quickly. But, um, you know, yeah, for sure this year by by the end of the year, uh, you know, we we should be, uh, ready to have this out to a distributor. That's awesome. And also while you were 01:44:38 answering these great questions with great answers, I kept thinking about what does this mean for people who don't have these largecale PK abilities for all of us? And maybe we could have you back, Lance, and do another live stream to discuss more of these kinds of questions and topics because I think that that I feel like we're all maybe doing this at on some level and aren't always aware of it and and how this could impact each other in positive directions going forward perhaps. Yeah, I think that's a really great topic and 01:45:09 I would love to do that again soon. You know, maybe when we have another u another couple clips we can show. But but uh yeah I it's that is absolutely an important question and it's like not coming from a place of fear but a place of of understanding the possibilities uh in your own life you know um because it's not just about controlling the weather it's also about creating your own reality I think you know and and uh it's like what do you want to bring into your life what do you want to manifest 01:45:38 in your life um a lot of the way that that uh Owens would describe his what he did worked was through synchronicity you know, it was it was not that he was, you know, trying to do one thing or the other. It was it was um really based upon his emotional place and and it does speak to the fact that you want to be in a better emotional place than a worse one because then you get a better positive outcome, you know. So, and that's why we keep doing these many of these conversations and interviews on 01:46:06 New Thinking Aloud is to help each other with exactly that. I think that's one of the main reasons if not the main reason. Yeah, I think that's the whole the whole point, you know, like the the whole point of even doing this. It's it's not just to scare people. There might be some scary guy out there that can make a tornado, you know. It's it's that um he he was not the best possible choice, but he was demonstrating what any human may be capable of. And that's what I really keep keep coming back to. This was not 01:46:33 some test to see uh what people thought about him. It was a test to see what what what what would a human do if they were at the peak of their own possibil potential, you know, and and we can all use that in our own way. I know I know Jeffrey was asked um by uh Owens when he took Jeff Owens's class uh what do you what do you want to do with this? And and Jeffrey was like, well, I don't want to like I don't want to cause earthquakes or anything. I would I would much rather, you know, use my abilities 01:47:02 to to um talk about, you know, these subjects that interest me and that the world needs to know about. And that's what Jeffrey's done. You know, that's that's that's um you know, you're you know, anything that can be empowering and make people have a wider understanding of their own potential, I think is awesome. Yeah, that's Jeff's psychokinesis. Yeah, he's affected me. Well, thank you both. It's been a a joy and a pleasure, and I look forward to uh having you back as a guest again, Lance, and what you two create going forward. 01:47:39 Thank you, Emmy. Thank you. It was a pleasure meeting you. And um as always, thanks, Jeeoff. I'll talk to you soon. Yeah. And for those of you watching or listening, thank you for being with us because you are the reason that we are here.

I'm Jeffrey Mishlove. Today we are releasing the third preview for the fourthcoming documentary about the PK man. I'm here with the director and co-producer Lance Mongia of the film. We are still attempting to raise money through a crowdfunder campaign. The links for you if you're interested in helping us move this project along will be found in the description of this video. And before we show you the preview, Lance and I are going to share a few tidbits about what we are continuing to learn about the 00:00:41 remarkable career of Ted Owens, the PK man. Welcome, Lance. Hi Jeffrey and thanks for for having me back again and thank you for continuing to make this movie for me. We're we're uh you know sort of full steam ahead and still again just trying to raise funds to finish the documentary. We're still planning to go out and gather some more interviews and uh that kind of thing for this. And I thought that today would be fun to talk about, I think, one of the more interesting aspects of the whole Ted 00:01:11 Owens story that often really gets overlooked, you know, because uh you know, Ted Owens being this person who claimed to do all of these amazing things with his mind claimed that the powers came from the space intelligences. And I thought that was it's a really interesting subject. And synchronistically, I've met several people over the years that have claimed to have somewhat similar experiences to the kinds of things that happened to Ted Owens that claimed that really sort of amped up his psychoinetic abilities and 00:01:39 allowed him to do these things. And you know, these encounters with these sort of mantis looking kind of grasshopper looking insect beings. And it's something that originally several years ago I wasn't really familiar with, but that I've become very familiar with just because of the the literature and because of a lot of experiences that that people have. Like sometimes randomly like I'll strike up a conversation with someone and they'll bring up these these beings which I find really interesting. But Jeffrey, maybe 00:02:08 you could tell us a little bit about like what his connection to these beings really was. Well, when I first encountered Ted Owens, the nomenclature that's now very popular, manted beings, wasn't around at all. And so, when he described these insecttoid beings that from whom he seemed to derive his remarkable powers, I I didn't know what to make of it. And it did seem weird and strange. Subsequently, we have learned I've actually interviewed on this channel a fellow named David J. Brown, uh, we recently released his video about 00:02:47 DNT, DMT entities. And he claims that under the influence of DMT, he had an experience almost 50 years ago in which a mantedlike being appeared and operated on his brain. and he claims that he's never been the same since that it opened up all sorts of psychic and intuitive abilities and that he remembers that day and he thinks about it every day of his life since then. So his story although completely different in origin than Ted Owen seems remarkably similar and he even drew a picture of the mantedlike 00:03:28 being operating on his brain. We'll show it here. And so that's very very similar to the report I got from Ted Owens that I just honestly didn't know what to make of it. He also claimed well they're not really insectoid. He said they're actually energy beings but they take the shape of of of an insect but that's not really who they are. He claimed that they were hyperdimensional and that they lived in a giant invisible UFO hovering over the planet and that he would send them telepathic messages to perform 00:04:08 various functions affect the weather, affect a volcano, affect a hurricane or a a tornado, a drought or a cold spell or a heat spell or a football team or a basketball team. and they for reasons of their own were happy to comply for the most part. And and so that's how he produced over 160 demonstrations over a 20-year period. He was quite consistent and in the sense that roughly twothirds of those demonstrations worked out the way he said they would. These manted beings seem to be almost like puppet 00:04:51 masters in a way is the way they're often portrayed in in sort of experiencer stories. I know Whitley Striber uh you know has talked about these these sort of grasshopper looking beings sort of being kind of in the background while these small gray beings are are are walking around sort of interacting directly. oftentimes there's a sexual component to these stories where there's almost like a uh like a hybrid breeding program going on or something apparently where uh um you know these these beings are involved um 00:05:21 and they tend to just pop up in in the the literature of the alien abduction you know ET abduction you know sort of experience again and again you know what's interesting is before I even got into any of this when I first got into meditation it was probably 2011 2012 I had a meditation where these two very tall like mantis looking sort of beings but in these like kind of robes were standing over me and like looking down and they were wearing these robes with all these kind of hieroglyphics on it 00:05:52 and I and it kind of shocked me out of the meditation at the time and uh that was my only experience with them. I had no other knowledge of them whatsoever uh until many years later, you know, going starting to work on third eye spies and going to some conventions and things like that. And then I would start to hear these stories and and now sometimes people will just come up and tell me these these uh these stories about these beings. I'm pretty sure, Lance, considering that Ted Owens claimed that 00:06:18 he was an experiment of the space intelligences, like a a canary in the coal mine that were going to endow him with these powers in order to the the way he expressed it to conduct something of a sociological experiment. How would the human community respond to a person who had his enormous talent? And if that scenario is correct and I I don't see anything contradicting it, then I'm sure the space intelligences are also observing you and me and this activity that we're engaged in now with the documentary and for all I know will also 00:07:00 be affecting the viewers. You know what's what's interesting about these manted beings and it sort of plays to what Ted Owens had said regarding them being you know possibly like uh beings of of energy that then kind of come into the world in this form is uh a lot of the other stories where people will have screen memories like sometimes like with Mike Cleland's book on owls like you know they'll talk about just seeing these kind of like owl eyes and having this this strange memory of owls before 00:07:29 there's an abduction experience. Other times, you know, I heard a story from a very high ranking CIA person that we interviewed for Third Eye Spies, how a physicist friend of his kept having these experiences when he would go out to his cabin in the woods and he would see this raccoon, you know, standing on two legs and like beckoning to him and then he would lose uh hours of time, you know, and then come to like an on his bed in his cabin, you know, kind of sounds like Rocket Raccoon or something from the 00:08:00 Marvel movies really, but that you know this was long before that. It just makes you think like what was that and and are we sort of is are these beings able to actually manipulate our perception to the point that they can make us see whatever we want to see or what they want us to see. So that also would explain Owens's sort of evolution as to like what he was seeing over the years because you know it didn't start with the the manted beings. He had had this UFO experience which we dramatized in some film footage that 00:08:33 we're going to show you today. But this was in like what 1955. And uh and then he had started having other experiences where he thought like what was it? He was seeing the spirit of nature and it was this kind of like ghostly apparition of a woman that he would see and then and then and other things and then it eventually evolved into Twitter and Twitter the grasshopper like beans. Is that right? Well, originally he thought it was a female entity he called Big Lorny who was something of a poltergeist. But yes, 00:09:07 so it it evolved over time and his explanations about was he using his own psychokinesis or was he simply telepaththing messages to the space intelligences who were performing everything? There was a lot of ambiguity around that. I was really lucky to spend some time with um Jacques Valet when we were making the phenomenon together because he was an adviser on that film and he would come out to where we were editing on the weekends and we would just chat and you know Jacques has been researching the subject far more than 00:09:40 anybody probably alive today. I mean, he's been doing it since he was in his early 20s and what is he in his 80s now? And and um he really kind of at this point throws his hands up in the air and says, "You know what? The entire phenomenon doesn't make sense." And he's no longer convinced that it even is extraterrestrial. you know, the the um explanation of of energy that you brought up earlier, Jeffrey, that this was energy that can kind of somehow form into a certain appearance is not as unlikely as I think some people might 00:10:08 think, you know, because like the way Jacques would put it is it's like this appears in whatever shape it needs to appear in order to teach us something or to grow really is is what his explanation kind of I think is in in some of his books. And uh you know it's almost like holographic in in nature you know and that the universe you know whether it be fairies in the uh you know 16th century or uh you know manted beings you know in spaceships today. It's kind of like where are we at as a society and what can we sort of accept 00:10:40 as what is paranormal? Well, we will have just released uh before this video gets released an interview with Tom Campbell, the author of My Big toe. And he likes to refer to the larger consciousness system, which is in control of this physical reality, created this physical reality. He would say we're living in a simulation, but very much like we're inside of a computer game. And the larger consciousness system, whether it's banded beings or reptilians or angels or fairies, the larger consciousness system 00:11:20 has the ability to interject these entities into our physical reality and does so for the purpose of helping us to awaken to our larger consciousness. And actually, that's the deeper message of the Ted Owens story. I think this isn't as much about what someone enabled 10 o Ted Owens to do. It's more about what are we all capable of being able to do. And what's interesting about a lot of these experiences is that that's often what it really comes down to is is uh it appears like you know there's this 00:11:57 energy that exists that is trying to push us forward somehow. And and uh again, another thing I think we've gotten into in a previous interview is once you experience something that is so far outside of your norm, it's like something breaks in your reality and and then people will start to have all sorts of different experiences. And this is something that in euphology is sort of the dirty little secret, you know, in in that a lot of these experiencers will have an encounter with a craft or or a 00:12:24 being of some kind and then lots of strange things will start happening around them. and and often this time it's things that they don't talk about. This reminds me of a story of a uh record executive that was friends with a UFO researcher friend of mine and he had seen a UFO, you know, and he had uh spoken to my researcher friend about it and he kind of confided that the strangest thing and he feared he was actually losing his mind over this was uh he started to have other experiences after that that weren't UFO related but 00:12:55 were sort of poltergeist related. And in one instance, the weirdest one, which he was very embarrassed to even talk about, he said he was sitting at his mixing panel late one night working alone in the studio and he hears what sounds like a band playing and and he looks over his shoulder and walking through the doorway is a line of literal fairies with musical instruments playing musical instruments and then going out the other side of the door. And he's sitting there, he says, "I don't do drugs. I 00:13:22 wasn't drunk. you know, I I there was nothing wrong with me at that time, but I think I might be losing my mind. And and and and these are the sorts of things that that you hear that are so bizarre and and sound so fanciful that people just won't discuss them. Um but often times it's after an initial paranormal experience like seeing a UFO. So what does that really say? A classic case is Kenneth Arnold, the fellow in 1947 who was flying his small aircraft near Mount Reneer when he first saw what 00:13:54 he identified as flying saucers and started the whole UFO flap. He also had these personal experiences and I think we now know about this because his family members have come out and reported on it but it was kept under wraps for decades. But it is very common and even with Jacques. Jacques told a story about investigating a UFO case and the uh the witnesses would describe a certain symbol on a craft that multiple witnesses saw that were verified. And then Jacques went and researched this symbol. And he said, "I believe the 00:14:31 witnesses that the witnesses saw something, but the symbol turns out to be a cow brand of a local rancher in the area." So So I say he says, "So how do I reconcile that?" He says it's like someone's playing a practical joke, you know, a cosmic practical joke. Like like why are you using a a local cow brand as a symbol on a UFO? It doesn't make any sense. And and uh and again sort of leads to what Jock would call this sort of like trickster energy, you know, where where uh you know, like what we're 00:15:01 seeing may not necessarily be what we're actually seeing. It's archetypal. I'm sure a Yungian psychologist would have a lot to say about it. But here here's a key point, Lance. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if our viewers just from watching this 20 minute video that you've just put together have experiences of their own. And I'm sure we'd be very happy to hear from viewers who would like to report on anything they notice in their lives after watching our little video. Yeah, please. I mean, write that in the comments down 00:15:36 below. I would love to hear anybody's story and and also you can go to our crowdfunding campaign page and you can leave messages there as well. We'd love it if you'd become a contributor. But even if you just want to start a dialogue, uh I've had a couple of people reach out and ask uh about possibly starting a Discord page or something like that where uh where we can have dialogue about these kinds of things cuz uh there's not a lot of places that people can go to to talk about this kind of stuff. I'm happy to be a venue, you 00:16:03 know, for that. But I agree that like just even watching a movie can influence your consciousness somehow. I think that's a real thing. I mean, uh, there's stories about people watching like a Poltergeist or The Exorcist or something and then something will fly across the room or something and I I' I've heard stories like that and it may just be again kind of you'll see something and it acts as a permission slip for you to then have similar experiences. So, what we're going to show is uh initially it's 00:16:32 the five-minute teaser that you've seen before, just for people who haven't seen it yet, just to set the story. And then these are a collection of scenes that are not necessarily appearing in in the order they're going to be in in the final film. But, uh we do start with Ted's origin story with the with these manted beings and and uh sort of seeing a a craft in 1955 and then and then going through some of the other aspects of his work. These are all rough scenes. you know, you we're we're giving you a a 00:16:59 preview of some rough scenes. We're still going to go out and get more interviews. That's what we still really need and we need support for this. We need the help of regular contributors like you guys. Uh and we're I'm incredibly grateful for the people that have already contributed. We're going to be sending out some some of the uh perks soon. You know, there's some really interesting perks on there. You can get a class that Jeffrey cured that was done by Ted Owens as well as some other advanced looks at things. So, we hope 00:17:26 you enjoy the the footage. I guess we should just sign off and let people watch it. [Music] [Music] Fella, a friend of mine in Chicago saw an article today in which you say some nasty things about me in the tattler. You even have the gall to insinuate as he explained at long distance that I might be a fake and a phony. Let's take it one step at a time. You have to be stupid. You know, dumb. No one in this world in their right mind would take me on. Not after I have documented causing hurricanes with 00:18:26 my mind. Also control military forces. Heal people given up by doctors for dead. Control radar installations. Control pro football teams and on and on. And mind you, we are speaking of documented before the fact action. 168 different demonstrations he performed over a period of 20 years. Twothirds of them worked out the way he said they would for events that by chance alone you wouldn't expect. You have chosen to insult me and I say you are a dirty low down yella coward. That's what I label you. 00:19:18 I am 52 years old with a pot belly and years out of condition, but it would be a pleasure to give you a lesson in manners. Ted Owens, self-professed master of mind over matter that could control nature itself by the force of psychokinesis or PK. and he would be the greatest teller of tall tales in history if not or the evidence [Applause] and uh also predicted he could make some UFOs appear and even that happened published in the newspapers. He creates what he calls a picture a PK map an image of what he 00:20:04 wants to have happen. He focuses on that image. He sends the image telepathically to invisible aliens hovering above the Earth in a giant UFO he calls the space intelligences. They sit in front of a big screen and they make all of these things happen. Mine is perhaps the greatest story in the entire history of the world. UFO entities have given me an advanced brain, the brain of future men. Now they want to see what I will do with it and whether I will misuse my powers. So far I have not. He called 00:20:47 himself the PK man. Lightning is my specialty. [Music] It was January or February 1955. Ted Owens was driving with his daughter Lorie on a lonely road outside Fort Worth. It was the day that for PK man, it all began to come together. [Music] This is amazing. Daddy, look. What's that? [Music] It vanished like a breath held too long, as if the sky itself had blinked. To Ted Owens, it was no accident. It was the beginning of something vast. A signal cast across the silence of space, answered not with words, but with 00:22:24 presence. What came next would strip away the veil of the ordinary, rewire his mind, and draw him into a shadow war between the waking world and something far stranger. Something [Music] watching. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] into the practice field. He falls out and he completes this one to Dodson. Over the middle, wide open is Dodson for the first down. After the sky blinked shut, something opened in him. A whisper at first. Ideas came unbidden. Maps, storm paths, pressure lines that pulse like 00:24:18 veins across the land. He wasn't just seeing the weather anymore. He was inside it. And behind it all, a presence watching from somewhere beyond the clouds, waiting to be [Music] heard. He got out of his chair one day, walked outside, and decided he could call down lightning. [Music] He went for a walk near the rural southern farmhouse where he resided with his wife and demanded lightning strike. It did. The ensuing storm scattered his wife's laundry and she berated him for bringing the weather down on them. 00:25:08 How could you do this? It wasn't the first or last insult he would ever receive in the face of such miracles. And I have waited too long, over long for some cooperation from somebody, waiting for some scientists somewhere to make an approach. It's February 5th, 1976. Palo Alto, California. All over the city, residents look up to the sky and witness something extraordinary. He said, "Well, I'm going to free the snowstorms of the likes that you've never seen there in Northern California." And it's going to snow like 00:26:07 hell over this next weekend. And it'll be published in your newspaper, your local newspaper. There'll be such a big snowstorm that the papers will write about it because there'd been nothing like there for 50 years. January 25th, 1976. To the scientists I know, gentlemen, it is time time to give you a demonstration to strike fear into your hearts. I am not your ordinary orthodox human. This all occurred. We exchanged telegrams that all weekend and by the next Monday with an enormous snowstorm and nobody could imagine where it came 00:26:57 from cuz it was not forecast. Inside the labs of Stanford Research Institute, two of the CIA's top scientists, Russell Tar and Hal Putoff, watch stunned. Their focus not on the weather, nor the psychics they tasked to remotely view Soviet secrets, but on the man who claimed he would make this happen. I've been in California now for 62 years. And the only snowstorm that I can recall ever happening is the one that was sent to us by Ted Owens. although it was not known why we were doing it, but it's 00:27:34 generally known in the public that we're looking for people to come forward with examples of uh paranormal experiences. We were contacted by Ted Owens who said that uh he had a lifetime of really remarkable experiences. He would like to come to SRRI and show us their flying saucers and their rainstorms. and that's just the exact opposite of what we wanted to do with a lowprofile program. They got very angry with me. Despite their curiosity, Owens was too hot for the scientists at SRRI to handle. 00:28:14 Obviously, for the official program we had at SRRI, we had to be very meticulous in the scientific sense, but nonetheless, it was very evocative. You and Hail were very excited about this character Ted Owens. He had a big file sitting on a shelf that you and Hail were eager to get rid of. And so they decided to quietly hand off the box of files, correspondents, and newspaper clippings they accumulated on him to the young intern, PhD candidate Jeffrey Michishlov. 168 different demonstrations he performed over a period of 20 years. The 00:28:57 files contain letters sent in advance to scientists talking about the effects that he would claim to produce through psychokinesis. My conclusion was that roughly twothirds of them worked out the way he said they would. And uh for events that by chance alone you wouldn't expect like a volcano more than a 1% likelihood largecale effects. This moment marked the beginning of Jeffrey Michionlo's lifelong journey as perhaps the world's only PhD in parasychology who has dedicated his life to studying the paranormal and bringing 00:29:41 it to a larger audience. Why are we the award recipients here? So many intelligent, well-educated people willing to risk our careers to study the afterlife. For me, the answer is simple. It's about selfnowledge. And to the extent that the human civilization ignores this area of research, we are lacking in self-nowledge. He was uniquely qualified to become for a time Ted Owen's best and perhaps only friend. To my amazement, Jeffrey, you, a young man, a young scientist, are the only scientists, including the gayheads, 00:30:34 to make a breakthrough and quote, come to where I am, end quote, parasychologically. Ryan couldn't understand. Sprinkle couldn't grasp it. It was beyond Heinik. Dr. Fogle couldn't break through. Tar and put off couldn't grasp it. Only Jeffrey Michishlov has made it and consciousness. [Music] Best to you always. Ted Owens PK man. However, such friendship comes at a cost. Jeffrey called me on the phone. He said, "Jeffrey," in his big booming voice, "This is the most important phone call you will ever 00:31:26 receive. It's up to you. You have to notify the US government not to send the next space shuttle into outer space." He said, "Because my UFOs are angry and they're going to knock it out of the sky." We have a report from the flight dynamics officer that the vehicle has exploded. [Music] And that was 3 weeks before the Challenger [Music] explosion. There is no precedent for me unless one goes back to the time of Moses. But as time passed, I have demonstrated a regular rainbow of miracles. Over the years, Owens became ever more 00:32:24 frustrated with the lack of seriousness his abilities had garnered scientifically. Finally, he decided to demonstrate his vast powers at the expense of several sports teams that would eventually come to rue the name PK Man. Ted Owens was perhaps most wellknown publicly for claiming to manipulate sporting events using his mysterious powers of psychokinesis. He said they were demonstrations of his ability and he became so infamous for his unusually accurate jinxes that even owners of football teams would reach out. Dear Mr. 00:33:00 Owens, please believe me when I request that you remove us from your list of losers. If you will please advise me as to a course of action which we could follow to have us remove from this category. I will do whatever I can to comply. I note with a great deal of interest your record of accomplishments. I thank you for considering this request sincerely, Carol Rosenlum, president the Baltimore Colts. Unfortunately, perhaps for them, they never wanted to pay his fees to stop his interference, which only caused Owens to 00:33:33 double down. Perhaps no team was more affected by his high jinx than the 1968 Philadelphia Eagles, who experienced by far their worst year in specific ways Owens claimed to cause, often by sitting at home and attempting to manipulate specific plays by focusing on the TV from the comfort of his easy chair. The Eagles, as usual, were decided underdogs. A web-footed eagle named Tom Woodishik slogged through the swamps for 79 sloppy yards to the Philadelphia Eagles. Several years ago, when Jerry Wilman 00:34:12 still owned your team, Stan Hawkman asked me face to face if a change in the ownership of the Eagles, plus a new coach, plus new personnel, could stop my PK attack on the Eagles. I told him then instantly that it could not stop the PK attack. Nothing can stop my mind from beating you year in and year out. The PK works in a thousand ways. It will get the coach fired, make the owner go bankrupt. It's a huge monumental jinx. I'll simply refer you to a column Stan H. watchman wrote about me several years 00:34:57 ago after he'd taken me to a football game and I'd sent PK after one man Tom Woodick number 37 and one was number 37 225-lb fullback Tom Woodishek in each of his six seasons with the Eagles he's gained more yardage than he gained the year before Tom Wooding the PK pay to get Woody out of the game. What's the matter with you, Woody? Her clavicle. Clavicle. Clavicle. Tender on the joint right there. You got one hair on my chest and you had to put it on that ear, didn't you? I was after it. Woodik was 00:35:40 lucky. In spite of injuries, he played in every game. Less than half the Eagles players were so lucky. Many could not return at all. All the young linebackers were injured. Ike Kelly, Arunas Fazies, and number 35 Adrien Young. Veteran AllPro tackle and defensive leader Floyd Peters missed most of the season due to injuries. Frank Molden, who after two years of injuries, missed two months of 1968 with a broken leg. Elected co- captain of the Eagles by his teammates, Woody said, "I won't make any fiery speeches. I'll show 00:36:16 them by example." It was an example none of his teammates will forget. And in 10 minutes, Woodchek rushed out onto the field, hit a cowboy in the face, and was thrown out of the game by the officials. In his write up, Stan Hchman said, "But what flash of insanity provoked him," Woodcheck, to rush off the bench with his fist flurry? "Ted Owens did it." Honest, he called himself the PK man. Lightning is my specialty. [Music] Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

S. Geological Survey reported Saturday. The Survey's Water Resources Division said both streamflow in the river and ground-water reserves had increased in recent weeks. The quality of the water in the Delaware improved, too. **99 PCT. OF NORMAL** The average rainfall for October in the basin was 3.17 inches, or 99 percent of normal, the report said. But the fall ranged from 2.8 inches in the headwaters to 5 inches in the lower part of the basin. During the first half of November, an additional inch to an inch and a half of rain fell in most areas and brought surface moisture conditions up to normal, the division said. The increased flow in the Delaware caused the salt line--the point at which the tidal water is too salty for drinking--to recede 10 miles downstream from Paulsboro, N. J., to the Pennsylvania-Delaware state line. The dissolved-oxygen content of the river water--a pollution indicator--improved significantly, the report said. In the upper reaches of the river during the report period it had not changed significantly south of the Torresdale section of Philadelphia as of Nov. 14, the Water Resources office said. # Wet September 'Dented' Penna. Drought Pattern Bulletin Washington Bureau Washington, Oct. 11--Heavy rains during September have "severely dented" the water supply problem in Pennsylvania and the Northeastern United States, a government official reported Monday. The official, Henry Barksdale, a staff hydrologist for the U. S. Geological Survey, said the rain last month "provided a refreshing respite" to more than five years of lowering streamflows and ground water supplies. "If not broken," he explained, "the water supply problem has at least been severely dented." While warning that it is "too early to tell what the final outcome might be," Barksdale said that with the approaching end of the growing season, the water supply problem has "decreased substantially." "Even moderate precipitation would probably enable most threatened public water supplies to weather the remaining growing season, and probably the coming winter without serious problems," he added. In Pennsylvania, Barksdale said, "water supply conditions improved considerably, even though streamflows were still well below normal for the month of September." Most of the rain that fell in the state, he said, "was used in satisfying soil moisture deficiencies, and there was relatively little direct runoff into streams or recharge to ground water." "However, the seasonal decline of ground-water levels was reversed in several wells in the southeastern part of the state." Barksdale said water levels in most observation wells in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania "were still below average, and levels in two of these wells were at record low levels." He did not say where the two wells are located. He said that the "relatively minor recovery of the water table" indicates that an above-average rainfall is needed during the next several months "if we are to enter the next growing season with substantial reserves in storage beneath the water table." # '66 PRECIPITATION UP IN NORTHEAST ## But a 37-Inch Average Was Still 18% Below Normal WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 (AP)--More rain and snow fell in the Northeast last year than in any of the three preceding years, but the total sum was 18 per cent below normal, the Weather Bureau reported tonight. There is sufficient water to carry the area at least through this spring, but it is too early to tell whether the drought in the Northeast for more than five years will recur this summer, the bureau said. The bureau said the Northeast had 37 inches of precipitation during 1966, compared with its 44-inch norm. During 1965, rain and the water equivalent of snow totaled only 31 inches. Precipitation was near normal last year until mid-June, when there was a recurrence of the scant summer rainfall that has parched cropland. The dry spell was broken last year by heavy rains in September, the bureau said, but it observed that heavy rain in previous years offered short respite from the prolonged drought. "Thus, any conclusions on the termination of the drought must be made with caution," the bureau said. # Fall Rains Ease Drought in Northeast The drought-plagued Northeast now has enough moisture to hold it at least through the coming spring. But the Weather Bureau cautioned against any conclusion that the region's five-year drought is at long last over. "While 1966's dry spell was broken by heavy September rains," the bureau said, "it is too early to predict whether there could be a recurrence of the drought next summer." 1/22/67 # Forecaster Sees End Of Drought By WILLIAM A. GARRETT Courier-Post Bureau WASHINGTON--A break in the weather cycle that for four years has had the Northeast in the grip of a drought is regarded as "likely" by one of the nation's top forecasters. But Dr. Jerome Namias of the extended forecast division at the U.S. Weather Bureau says that meteorologists "do not understand sufficiently the complex phenomena" responsible for the drought to foretell just when it will pass into history. The bureau observed recently, after rains had drenched the Northeast several times, that the drought was at least bent, if not broken. Namias reports, in a bureau publication, that much more work will be necessary to verify scientific findings as to the drought's cause and this now is being helped by high-speed electronic computers. Vast upper-air currents, Namias theorizes, influenced the drying up of the Northeast in 1962-65, largely in spring and summer, and the wetting down of other regions. Most persistent feature of these winds was a southward dip in the so-called westerlies. Over the four-year period, Namias says, there was a deep, tropospheric trough off the Atlantic Coast. Below this, along the continental shelf, water was colder than normal. This, Namias ventures, may have resulted from a strengthened flow from Labrador. Air masses which draw heat # 2d Blizzard Strikes Through Plains States Chicago, March 23--(UPI)--The second blizzard to sweep the plains in three weeks paralyzed cities, closed schools and industries, and stranded hundreds of travelers today. At least seven deaths were blamed on the full-blown storm which swept out of the rockies and spread across Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota. Blizzard warnings were up for most of Iowa, Minnesota and western Wisconsin. A blustery cold wave was moving into Missouri and east Kansas. # Storm Lashes New England; Damage Heavy Boston, May 26--Hundreds of persons were evacuated from homes today when 14-foot tides flooded the New England coast as winds up to 75 miles an hour and rain lashed the region. Up to nine inches of snow fell inland. The sixth highest recorded tide since 1722 hit Massachusetts Bay, forcing hundreds of people to evacuate shore-front homes. Some roads, under two-feet of water, were closed to traffic. Nantucket received 7.07 inches of rain. About 100 expensive pleasure boats were wrecked in the Marblehead, Mass., harbor. Harbormaster Philip Clark described the storm "as bad as we've ever had and worse than the 1938 hurricane," which caused widespread destruction along the New England coast. On one large stone jetty, the storm left a pile of debris 50 feet across, pieces of wood no larger than a desk top, of what were once 20- to 30-foot boats. The Connecticut valley's lucrative tobacco crop was dealt a multi-million-dollar blow as the fast-moving storm swept through the fields like a scythe. Protective cheesecloth netting collapsed beneath the weight of snow, crushing the tender tobacco. # New England Hit By Snow, Gales BOSTON, May 25 (AP)--A late season gale with northeast winds gusting to 75 miles an hour buffeted the New England coast Thursday, bringing record cold temperatures, snow and a threat to property on Cape Cod and other coastal areas. Rangers at the Cape Cod National Seashore said winds of 75 miles an hour were clocked at Provincetown and 20-foot seas posed a threat to 30 miles of beaches and bluffs from Provincetown to Chatham. **ROADS FLOODED** Police reported only minor flooding. Some roads were underwater in low sections. The Coast Guard said one boat anchored in Chatham harbor had broken loose and run aground. Part of the town pier in North Dennis was washed away. Provincetown reported more than two inches of rain in 24 hours. Nantucket Island, south of the Cape, reported 2 1/4 inches in 18 hours. Cape Cod was faced with the threat of flooding and erosion when early morning high tides rolled in Friday with the thrust of the full moon. Ranger William C. Brown said the full moon would bring tides of about 2 to 3 feet above normal. **RECORD LOW** A temperature of 40, record low for the date, was noted in Boston at 7 P.M. The previous low was 41 in 1956. Montpelier, Vt., reported six inches of new snow on the ground at 8 P.M. Thursday. Record low temperatures were recorded as far south as Miami Beach, Fla. Sleet and hail were reported in the Boston area and a college baseball game in New Hampshire was snowed out. Snow plows plied the Mohawk Trail in the Massachusetts Berkshire Mountains on a section of scenic Route 2 between Greenfield and North Adams. Prof. Richard Southwick, a tobacco expert at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, said snow broke poles and nets used to protect the tobacco from the sun. The damage to the poles and nets, the costs of replacements and labor will run to $1 million, Southwick said. # Wind and Rain Push Mercury Down to 29° Summer-type thundershowers, coming in the midst of balmy spring weather, brought a touch of winter back to Greater Philadelphia today. The Weather Bureau's thermometer at International Airport registered a subfreezing low of 29 degrees at 4.40 this morning. This represented a 41-degree drop from a high of 70 at 1.15 P. M. yesterday. Light rain began falling here at 1.14 P. M. yesterday. The rain became heavier between 3.12 and 3.20 P. M. Another heavy shower between 4.16 and 4.23. **Gusts Up to 33 MPH** The rain was accompanied by thunder and lightning, and by winds gusting at 33 miles an hour. The rain ended at 7.05 P. M. The Weather Bureau measured the total precipitation at .51 of an inch. The rainstorm preceded a cold front which went through at 4.30 P. M., triggering the rapid drop in temperatures. At 3 P. M. the mercury was down to 64; at 4 to 58 and at 5 to 45. The drop to the low of 29 took place in a little more than 15 hours. **Power Failure** The storm was blamed for a short circuit which darkened more than 900 homes and business establishments in Pilgrim Gardens, Delaware County, for a half-hour beginning at 4.23 P. M. A signal on the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines at Vernon Tower at Ashland, south of Haddonfield, was knocked out. A child's kite fell across some power lines in Cherry Hill. Power was cut off until workmen removed the kite. This caused a blackout at Kingston Estates for about half an hour, starting at 4.30 P. M. A snowstorm in Western Pennsylvania dumped nine inches in some areas yesterday. Pittsburgh measured a four-inch fall. # Water Reserves Boosted by Storm WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (AP).--Tuesday's snowstorm deposited an equivalent of about 150 billion gallons of water on the Potomac River Basin above Washington, according to hydrologists of the U. S. Geological Survey. This is equal to about 10 percent of the Potomac's flow past Washington during all of 1966. Ewell Mohler, agency hydrologist, said that "a great benefit will result if there is an orderly and gradual melting of the snow" and that "if much of this precipitation percolates into the ground, a significant improvement will be made to the Potomac Basin's ground water reserves..."

Text Any textual data included in the document === **Filename: 661128 Newspaper Files.pdf** === Page 1 of 1 November 28, 1966 On June 5, 1966, Ted Owens made the following prediction to myself, my husband, Robert Hansell, and George Riddle: The UFO intelligences, to demonstrate their powers further to the U.S. Govt. will bring about a nuclear submarine catastrophe, or aircraft carrier catastrophe, i.e., a naval catastrophe involving U.S. vessels within the near future. They will also deal our seat of Government (The White House and Capitol Hill) a serious blow in the near future. The above to take place not later than September, 1966. (Only the time element was off a bit) Sept. 15, 1966, the West German submarine Hai suddenly sunk with its crew. Oct. 26, 1966, the U.S.S. Aircraft Carrier Oriskany caught fire and burned, killing 34 officers and pilots and 9 enlisted men. Nov. 2, 1966, U.S.S. Aircraft Carrier Guadalcanal, a helicopter crashed on deck killing four of the crew and injuring eighteen others. Nov. 4, 1966, U.S. Navy Submarine "Tiru" accidentally went aground off the coast of Australia and radioed for help. Took three days for tug to get it off the rocks and it is now in port being repaired. Nov. 5, 1966, U.S.S. Aircraft Carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. caught fire, killing eight of the crew. Commander Schoultz, the ship's captain termed the cause of the blaze "a mystery". Nov. 8, 1966, former aircraft carrier, now a transport caught fire in Kula Gulf, Hawaii. Nov. 10, 1966, Nuclear U.S. sub Nautilus collided with the aircraft carrier Essex, and was extensively damaged. Also, on Nov. 5, 1966, President Johnson of the United States announced that he must have two operations performed at once; surgery. This was certainly a blow to our seat of government. Therefore it is my conviction that this 3-point prediction by Ted Owens has come about (although a few weeks late) in the exact order that he predicted it. Sworn to and subscribed before me this 30th day of November, 1966 Zelda S. Hansell 29 S. Wyoming Ave. Ardmore, Pa. 19003 Notary Public, Ardmore, Montgomery County My Commission Expires April 2, 1969 Carrier Hit By Nautilus Under Sea Crewman Hurt, A-Sub's Tower Badly Damaged NORFOLK, Va., Nov. 10 (UPI) -- The world's first nuclear submarine, the Nautilus, rammed the aircraft carrier Essex while running submerged off the North Carolina coast Thursday, slightly injuring one crewman. The Nautilus, commissioned Sept. 21, 1954, suffered heavy damage to its conning tower, the Navy said, and immediately surfaced. It struck out for the New London, Conn., submarine base with an unidentified destroyer as its escort. CARRIER DAMAGED The 27,100-ton carrier, a 24-year-old antisubmarine warfare ship, was also damaged by the collision, the Navy reported. Reports from the carrier, commanded by Capt. E. W. Fly, said it took some water, but that it was under control. The Navy said the Essex was heading for the Naval Air Station at Norfolk. 20 The Evening Bulletin PHILADELPHIA, Friday, November 11, 1966 Johnson's Doctors Negotiate On a Site, Time for Surgery By LAWRENCE M. O'ROURKE Of The Bulletin Staff Johnson City, Tex., Nov. 11 -- Getting seven busy doctors to agree on a single time and place for surgery is a difficult task, even when the patient is President Johnson. Mr. Johnson apparently doesn't know when or in what hospital his abdomen and throat will be operated on. He hopes it will be early next week in the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio. That is only a half hour helicopter flight from his LBJ ranch. A high official in the Johnson Administration asserted that Mr. Johnson could fix the time and place if he wanted to. He could call the doctors on the phone and say 'be here at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning' and they'd come. But the President doesn't want to impose his will on the physicians. He wants them to decide, it was made clear through Dr. George G. Burkley of the White House staff. The complication arises from the schedules of the various doctors involved. Four are at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, one is in New York City, another is in Atlanta, and Dr. Burkley is with the President. Sources say that the operation will most likely take place at the U.S. Naval Hospital at Bethesda, Md., outside of Washington. Shoulder Soreness The President, resting more than normal and making up for lost sleep on his LBJ Ranch, feels fine despite a number of ailments. In addition to the abdominal and throat conditions which will be corrected by surgery, the President has felt soreness in his upper arms and shoulders. The White House said today that it is nothing serious, although it is unpleasant. Mr. Johnson has reportedly had rudeness to ease the discomfort. The doctors have checked out the soreness, White House assistant press secretary George C. Christian said, and found nothing serious. Christian said the President himself is at a loss to explain the soreness, which he first felt during his cutting wood. Sometime Next Week At a press conference yesterday on his front lawn on the LBJ ranch, the President said the surgery would be sometime next week. Surgeons will repair an abdominal defect at the lower end of a scar left in the lower abdomen left by gall bladder and kidney stone surgery a year ago. The surgery will involve the closing of an incisional hernia, which is a flaw in the abdominal wall. There is a lump at the site about the size of a golf ball. While Mr. Johnson is under anesthesia, a throat specialist will thin a soft tissue called a polyp from near the President's right vocal cord. The polyp will be examined immediately to determine if there is malignancy. The doctors say that nearly all polyps are non-malignant. Background Navy Has Rough Sailing WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 (AP). -- The Navy has had a tough time in the way of ocean safety in the past 16 days. Thursday's collision of a submerged submarine with a carrier in the Atlantic marked at least the sixth accident involving Navy vessels since Oct. 26, when a flash fire swept the aircraft carrier Oriskany off Vietnam. That fire claimed 44 men. "When you have several hundred ships operating at sea, these things are bound to happen," one high officer said. "The best you can hope to do is take steps toward preventing them." Here are recent accidents: Oct. 26 -- Fire that broke out in a locker containing flares swept the Oriskany off Vietnam. The flattop, from which U.S. jets strike at North Vietnam, had to be pulled off its "Yankee Station" and sent home for repairs. Nov. 2 -- The submarine Tiru ran aground on a reef in the Coral Sea off Australia and was stuck four days before it could be towed away. None of the 80 men aboard was injured. Nov. 5 -- The LST (Landing ship, transport) Churchill County rammed the top of the Bay Tunnel at Norfolk, Va., and had to be pulled away by two tugs. No injuries. Nov. 6 -- The carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt, operating in South China seas, was hit by a fire which killed eight men. The carrier remained on station. Nov. 7 -- Fire erupted in a storage room of the 24,000-ton aircraft transport ship Kula Gulf stationed at Pearl Harbor. No one was injured; the blaze was brought under control in three hours. Nov. 10 -- The submarine Nautilus rammed the carrier Essex during a maneuver 350 miles east of Wilmington, Del. The atomic sub suffered extensive damage to a super-structure but surfaced with only one injury, a possible broken arm sustained by one of the crewmen. The Essex was not seriously damaged. One of the Navy's more embarrassing incidents of recent months occurred in July, 1965, when a radar picket destroyer, the Frank Knox, was hung up for five weeks on a reef in the South China Sea. The Navy later reprimanded the commander of the destroyer after a court martial on charges of "negligently failing to keep himself informed of the ship's position." Burned Carrier Is Home to Prepare for Next Round San Diego, Calif., Nov. 16 -- (AP) -- The fire-scathed aircraft carrier Oriskany and her proud, weary men returned from war today, their home-coming saddened by the loss of 34 men. Band played and an estimated 2,000 wives, children and friends greeted the huge 42,000-ton carrier as it docked under gray skies. Forty-four men, including 25 pilots, were victims of the tragic Oct. 26 fire, evidence of which still lingers on scorched walls of the hangar bay and living quarters. Ten other Oriskany pilots were lost on strike missions over Viet Nam. Morale 'Terrific' The skipper of the 21-year-old carrier, Capt. J. H. Iarrobino of Coronado, Calif., praised his 3,500-man crew and said he hoped the ship would not miss its third rotation back to the Viet Nam war zone. "The morale of the men is terrific," the skipper said. "This ship's performance was really outstanding -- not just outstanding, but great. "We were in a state of shock for a short period of time," Iarrobino said. "But we're digging ourselves out now. This ship will answer the bell for the next round." Inquiry Under Way After a week in San Diego the ship goes to San Francisco for three or four months of repair and overhaul, followed by another tour of war duty. Meanwhile, a board of inquiry investigating all aspects of the fire will take "roughly another two weeks to finish," Iarrobino said. "We don't know whether it was a malfunction of a flare or personnel fault that caused the fire," the captain said. He said that as yet no disciplinary action has been taken against two men who were handling the magnesium illumination flares that triggered the three explosions.

Text Any textual data included in the document === **Filename: 7003.pdf** === Page 1 of 4 March 11, 1970 Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle Professor of Psychology University of Wyoming Dear Dr. Sprinkle; I sincerely hope...that you do not throw this away before doing a bit of checking on it. For several years...I have been communicating with UFO intelligences, and can prove it absolutely. It is documented. Call Mr. Ed Ames, realtor in Brewer, Maine, and ask him if, when he invited me up there for two weeks (along with two other businessmen of that area, as my hosts) I didn't inform him that I would call down a UFO over the Brewer-Bangor area during that period of time, to be seen and reported in the newspapers...and one week later a flying saucer did in fact appear and scared a man and his wife...and was reported on the front page of the local newspaper there. Call Mr. Murray Zatman, a lawyer, 2441 Grahn Drive, Santa Rosa, California...for whom I worked for several years...and ask him if I didn't tell him that by communicating with my UFO contacts I would cause a massive east coast power blackout by June 21, 1967...and the 5-state blackout did in fact then appear on June 5, 1967. For him I also demonstrated the UFO intelligences' powers by producing a hurricane within a week, and guiding it, and other things as well. Mr. Lawrence Maddry, reporter for the Virginian-Pilot newspaper here in Virginia Beach just did an article on my work with UFO's (I've been desperately trying to get through the wall of governmental silence to the public, or somebody) -- and he confirmed that: (1) I actually stated on a TV program in Miami last summer that President Nixon was in danger of being kidnapped at his Key Biscayne home by Cubans (information given me by UFO intelligences)...and several weeks after that Cuban frogmen were in fact discovered placing Nixon's home under surveillance and a Cuban ambassador was thrown out of the United Nations for the plot. (2) I informed three responsible persons here in Norfolk that the UFO's would strike the last Apollo shot with lightning, in an effort to make the astronauts abort the trip...and lightning did in fact then strike the vehicle. (3) I gave a demonstration of how the UFO intelligences could control groups of men...by causing one certain football star to be thrown out of a pro football game in progress, while in the company of two top sports writers who asked to see it happen. As I say...Maddry called these people and checked it out for validity Mr. Jim Moseley, Box 163, Fort Lee, New Jersey, and Mr. Tim Beckley, 3 Courtland Street, New Brunswick, New Jersey...both of them UFO investigators and authors, will tell you that I have given documented demonstrations for them...requesting the UFO intelligences I am in contact with to produce certain results, miraculous results...which then came about. === **Filename: 7003.pdf** === Page 2 of 4 2 This all began (I have 200 confirmed, documented cases at this date...where I have informed responsible persons such as lawyers, govt. agencies, scientists, etc. in advance, in writing...that I would cause certain things to happen...such as end the 6-year drought that existed on the east coast several years ago, and end the killer-drought that was supposed to kill 4 million people in India several years ago... (which ended after I began documentation, and contacted the UFO intelligences am in contact with)...and many other things of like scope) ...it all began when my daughter, Lornie, and I were driving at dusk outside Dallas, Texas, and a cigar-shaped UFO came towards our car across a field...streaming brilliant colors behind it, silent as a shadow. It came toward our car, got close, then just vanished...as a light would turn off. We thought it took about 2 minutes. But when I checked my watch... we had lost an hour. An hour that can't be accounted for. It was a lonely road...and to my knowledge no other cars passed. Anyway...after that...all this phenomena began to happen. I've written two books about it: "How To Contact UFO's" Box 2228, Clarksburg, West Virginia, and "I Work For UFO Intelligences" at PK Enter. Inc., 600 Biscayne Boulevard, 9th Floor, Miami, Florida. These books would give you pretty much the entire story of it. All true, and can be checked out. Point is...I have been, and am now, working with greater power the world has ever witnessed...through my contact with these creatures...yet can do nothing about it. That is, I go on working at my mundane job in an office...keep on giving demonstrations of miraculous things...but the government pays no attention seemingly... I would be quite willing to come to where you are and place all this at your disposal, testing, etc. I myself am "loaded" with ESP ability. Attended Duke University years ago and demonstrated same then quite successfully. But ESP does not explain these 200 miracles; else how could I tell in advance, in writing, when and where UFO's would appear, which I have done? Such as the event in Brewer. That would not fall into an ESP category, right? My files are complete, and would shock you, if you could see them...the documentation. In closing...might mention that I am an "M", or Mensa member. IQ of 148-152 (written and verbal). In the M directory, Philadelphia. It is my desperate hope...that something will come of this letter. Ted Owens, 209 75th Street, Virginia Beach, Va.

I certainly have no wish to throw away the letter and am glad to respond to your comments. Of course, I have no way at this time of knowing how to regard your claims, since I am not aware of the background you described and your part in the events which have occurred. But, I am interested in the possibilities. Enclosed you will find references which indicate my interest in ESP, hypnosis, and UFO research. I certainly am interested in corresponding with persons who experience UFO sightings and, particularly, persons who experience apparent communication with UFO occupants. Under separate cover, I am sending you copies of two short manuscripts which indicate my interest in the use of hypnosis in UFO research and which describe a study I have conducted with the cooperation of 63 persons who claim to receive "psychic impressions" of UFO phenomena. I hope the manuscripts are of interest to you and indicate that I am serious in my wish to cooperate with persons who experience these events and try to learn more about the meaning of the earth's surveillance by UFO occupants. I believe that some of the events which you describe might be an indication of precognition, that is, an awareness of future events before the actual occurrence. However, other experiences which you describe would certainly seem to be "something more" than precognition or psychic phenomena. I am interested in the two books which you have written and I plan to get copies of them. === **Filename: 7003.pdf** === Page 4 of 4 Mr. Ted Owens March 24, 1970 Page 2 Thus, without trying to reject or to accept your claims at this time, may I indicate to you that I am interested in the information which you present and I hope that you are able to continue your work and that someday the scientific community, as well ad the public, may show a greater interest in the possible relationship of ESP abilities and UFO phenomena. Meanwhile, best wishes to you. Sincerely, R.

Leo Sprinkle, Professor of Psychology University of Wyoming Box 3708, University Station Laramie, Wyoming 82070 Dear Dr. Sprinkle: Thank you for the courtesy of your answer...to MY most unbelievable letter. The facts are these...I'm the only human in the world...that can communicate with UFO intelligences and prove it, year in and year out...consistently. Documented. I actually amount to what could be called a "national treasure". I know that sounds bad, but it is true, nonetheless. Am currently giving a demonstration...it began several months ago and is a world-wide weather demonstration. It will be documented by most respected and responsible people. And the results already have been scary enough to make your hair stand on end. Trouble is...you are there and I am here. You can't see my records or documentation, or check with my contacts. Awkward. I have, for the past several years, approached this whole matter in a strictly scientific vein. No "mystical" approach to it. My proof is proof, and can be checked out. Have you heard of Otto Binder, the author? He is doing a two-part story on my work in Saga Magazine...will come out in July and August. Then you can really find out all about it. He puts it much better than I can...he's checked me out thoroughly (his credentials for this sort of thing are awesome) and am sure when you read his articles, you will gain a better understanding. Perhaps then...you might be more activated, or motivated, to do something about the situation. If you will just lightly consider...I have more power at my command, through my contact with UFO intelligences...than all the power of all the world's armed forces. Easily. Sounds like a mental case? True. Unfortunately for scientists, it is all documented. The power has been seen already, and confirmed by reputable people. Lawyers, etc. Precognition is out...otherwise how could I tell where and when a UFO would appear...as I have done on numerous occasions? More important...what the UFO would do, its actions. I don't care whether you accept or reject my claims.* I just hope that you are a good scientist...good enough to dig into the matter, someday *backed up by a logjam of documented proof Best wishes to you....

I am interested in your work and I would be pleased if, someday, I have the opportunity of investigating your abilities and powers. Yes, I have heard of Otto Binder, and I am very much interested in his writings. I have some of his books regarding UFO phenomena. I will look forward to reading his article in SAGA concerning his work with you. I have now received and read your book, "How to Contact Space People." I have ordered a copy of your other book, and I look forward to reading it when I have received it. I find your experiences to be most interesting and I can see that you wish to provide other people with information, not only to back up your claims, but also to encourage the interested person to try similar methods. At this point, I can neither accept nor reject the proof of your claims, but I can say that I am interested in learning more about the methods by which you communicate with the space people. I certainly am prepared to believe the possibility that the proof is sufficiently an indication of your ability to communicate and to cooperate with space people. Perhaps, there may come a time when financial support will be provided for those persons who wish to investigate the possible relationships of ESP, hypnosis, and UFO phenomena. I certainly am interested in these investigations and will be pleased to continue correspondence with you. Best wishes to you in your work and your attempts to provide evidence for interested persons. Sincerely, R. Leo Sprinkle, Ph.D. Counselor and Associate Professor of Psychology RLS/hd === **Filename: 7004.pdf** === Page 3 of 4 April 28, 1970 Dear Leo: Let's dispense with formalities. I'm Ted. I like your style. Thanks for your letter of the 20th... I think there is some hope for you, as a scientist, Leo. Most of the scientists I have known, Leo...are prisoners of politics, of government agencies, of monies available to them...and so on...which has placed them in such a situation or situations that truth is almost a stranger to them. This is unfortunate, but it is true. One of the best known scientists in the world...whom I know personally...has been a victim of that situation. And of course...truth as such is all there is, to a true scientist. He or she can't afford to be a prisoner of anything...which might be a wall between he or she and the truth. Is it not so? I was deliberately sassy in my last letter, Leo, to find out what sort of metal you're made of. Long years ago I studied kodokwan judo from Johnny Osako in Chicago...he's one of the world's greats...and in my first teaching session he threw me around unmercifully and deliberately sprained my larynx. I couldn't talk for a week. But I was back the next day for my regular lesson, after being so injured. That's what he wanted to find out. He told me quite frankly that he did that with everyone...hurt them painfully during the first teaching sessions...to see if they would come back. When they did...then there was some hope that they might learn proper judo methods (which is a religion with the Japanese, not just a sport). Of course...the book in your possession now...is just a tiny portion of the miracles that have occurred. 200 have occurred by now. Most of them documented; checkable. And they've all been done while I've been broke, fighting just to make a living for my family. Without a "base" to work from. Sometimes I wonder just how much more I could have done...if I'd had a base (home and financial support from some source) from which to maneuver this UFO-power lever! Let's be friends. I'm happy to know you. We certainly have a rapport. I've been waiting...for several years...for some honest-to-god scientist to realize what it is that I have, and set the entire thing up for a study. When SAGA comes out in July and August, read the articles...then if you're interested perhaps you can find a rich rancher or donor (such as supported Dr. Rhine's parapsych lab at Duke for so long) who will bring me out there to live with my wife and child. Who'll perhaps fund me in the starting of my own church, so that I can use these tremendous powers to help people (who will come from all over the world)...and you and your fellow scientists will then be welcome to put me through every test imaginable; and I'll bring UFO's over...and perform miracles for you and your group regularly...just as I have been doing the past 7 years, approximating 30 miracles a year. Owens 209 75th Va Beach, Va. === **Filename: 7004.pdf** === Page 4 of 4 April 29, 1970 Dear Leo: I wrote you yesterday...but now can write you in a different vein. We leased our house here for a limited time...and in a few weeks we must move. I have no deeply-rooted job here at all. Just a temporary thing I picked up. Here is what I suggest. I would like to come to Laramie; rent a small, inexpensive apartment or house; get a job there...and live there with my wife and 7-year-old child. Then you could test me to your heart's content...my regular ESP abilities (PK demonstrations, etc.)...my ability with hypnosis and autohypnosis...but most of all, my ability to communicate with the UFO intelligences and PRODUCE PHENOMENA FOR YOU. I could show you how to control weather and end droughts, wherever you might designate; how to control and guide hurricanes...and on and on through dozens of major phenomena. Which I have already done and documented, I might add. But you would have it all right there...where you could observe, test, and so forth. Of course, this would be priceless for you. What I would need, within the next week, would be $500 from you...to buy an old used car, and make the move. That would be enough to also find a place there and get started. I know professors do not have that much money on hand...but professors sometimes know people who do have it, who will provide it, if the situation warrants it. But time is of the essence, since I have to decide what I am going to do next. If you would like this to happen, send the money as soon as possible...and we will be in Laramie shortly.

However, at this time, I know that it will take the work of several persons to provide any kind of meaningful investigation. This has been the experience of Dr. Jules Eisenbud, who has investigated the abilities of Ted Serios, the man who can "make photographs" with his mind. Dr. Eisenbud has found that even his good well controlled studies are suspect unless he can get others to cooperate with him in setting up appropriate investigations. Perhaps in a few years there will be funds available to establish such a research center, and then I would be most happy to cooperate with you in studying your abilities and providing documentation for the methods and results. Until then, I wish to thank you for your offer of providing the opportunity to investigate your abilities. Perhaps "fate" will allow such an opportunity to come about sooner than I expect.

Please read about my work in Saga Magazine, articles coming in the July and August issues (actually Aug. and Sept.)..but get the first one on the July stands. Most of you, of course, are already acquainted with my work, and have been my regular contacts.

Since I wrote to you...my files are crammed with articles of floods and earthquakes and so on...and in the newsclips of most of them are the description "unprecedented floods" or "worst earthquake in 100 years" and so on. Over and over for different catastrophes. The latest demonstration, of course, was in Peru. Today the Si's communicated with me...and said that they want to do something unusual to get the U.S. Government's attention and interest...so they are going to do something in or around the area of Washington, D.C., in the near future. They will not tell me what. My guess...would be the appearances of many UFO's in that area. But that's only a guess. They also said to tell you...that they are going to make an object lesson of the lower, (Miami) Florida area in the near future, for reasons of their own. My guess is...they will strike it with a hurricane this season, or a bunch of tornados like recently in Lubbock, Texas. Something like that. They are trying to show us humans their "muscle" just as we have been trying to impress North Vietnam, and the rest of the world...with our "muscle" or military power. Of course, we have no powers that even begin to compare with the depth and scope of the Si powers. I don't know if I sent you my recent predictions of what is going to happen to the United States in the future, or not. If not, and you want the manuscript, let me know and will send it to you. I did it once before in 1967...and was very accurate in predicting what has since occurred, since that time.

Haven't facilities for copying. Ted. I have just concluded putting on an absolutely air-tight demonstration, proof-wise, of my ability to communicate with UFO entities and bring about an effect. It could not conceivably be labeled a "coincidence" or anything else. As I say, it is as air-tight as a genuine scientific experiment could be, were it one, which of course it is not, since I am a layman. What would your reaction be...if you were the Editor of a very large newspaper...there was a local drought...crops were in danger of dying...and a man wrote in and said that he would deliberately make a storm for the area, within a week's time...and as proof that it was caused by him, the storm would be marked by a savage lightning attack? Then it follows...that in 5 days, on the 5th day thereafter...a devastating storm strikes this area, specified....it is marked by an absolutely savage lightning attack, lighting striking houses, striking powerlines and knocking out power in 10,000 homes...lightning striking a huge oil building and sending up a "fireball" when it explodes. And...the corn crop which was in great danger, is now "saved" according to the newspapers from the 4 inch rainfall ensuing from the storm. I'll tell you what the Editor's reaction was, here in Norfolk/Virginia Beach. Absolutely nothing. Not a word of it to the public. That is how completely my "miracles" are kept a secret. Following is a copy of my letter to the Editor of the Ledger-Star (4565 Virginia Beach Blvd., Virginia Beach, Virginia, Phone 625-1431) before, 5 days before, the storm struck: Dear Sir: Maddry and Bonko have both mentioned me previously in their columns. Tonight I read in your paper that this area is in a serious drought condition...that within two weeks the corn crop can be a disaster, as well as other crops, etc. Not much rain in months. All right. I was quite successful in Phila. in causing it to rain...and Maddry saw the articles in the papers on it. I notified the papers by letters, like this one...and then brought the rain in...and this during the 6-year drought then on at that time. I'm going to do this: (1) Try to make it rain her substantially within one week from now. (2) Try to keep it raining here in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area all the summer long. (3) Try to give this area such a drenching, soaking and pouring-down as to be almost beyond belief...the wettest summer on record here...more rain...etc. (4) It will be marked (the storms, that is) with my own personal trademark...heavy lightning attacks. (5) I will try to bring up a hurricane from lower Florida to this area, or near this area...and draw more rain from it to here. Am not writing you this letter...to get any publicity...but to let you know, when it happens, what caused it. Maddry was skeptical of my work, I'm afraid, and would like to give him a sort of demonstration." Am enclosing the newsclips showing the terrific scope of the storm, as well as the documentation of confirmation from the court reporter, Mrs. Dyer, here in Rm. 401, Plaza One Bldg., Norfolk, Va., phone 625-5848. A cleaner, more powerful demonstration of my link with the Si's...you couldn't find. Ted Owens, (PK Man) === **Filename: 7006.pdf** === Page 2 of 21 June 22, 1970, Monday TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Last Tuesday, June 16, 1970, Mr. Ted Owens, known as "PK Man", gave me in writing a prediction that he would bring about, within one week's time, a substantial rainstorm. Furthermore, he additionally promised that the rainstorm would be marked by spectacular lightning display... which he terms his "trademark." The foundation for all of this...was an article which appeared in the Ledger-Star newspaper of Norfolk to the effect that there had been no rainfall for two months and that unless rainfall occurred...there would be a disaster for the crops in this area. Mr. Owens decided, he said, to save the crops for the farmers here. Yesterday, Sunday, June 21, 1970, there was a devastating storm in this Norfolk area...more than a half-inch of rain fell...winds of over 65 miles per hour...boats were grounded...roofs were blown off of buildings...cars were blown off roads...and lightning struck everywhere at houses, power lines, etc. Lightning in fact knocked out the power in various portions of Norfolk. Lightning also struck a huge oil tank and the resulting explosion sent up a "fireball". Therefore I do confirm herein that Mr. Owens' prediction last week was entirely accurate, and has come to pass within the one-week time limit that he imposed. I certify this to be a true and accurate statement of fact. NIKI DYER, Court Reporter Plaza One Building Norfolk, Virginia. # Rain Saves Tri-County Corn Crop 6/23/70 SUFFOLK -- Farm authorities said Monday that while Sunday's rain played favorites in the Tri-County area, it played an important part in saving the year's corn crop. Rainfall ranged from 1.5 inches in Isle of Wight County, to .4 inches in Holland, and to a low of .18 inches in Suffolk. Robert Goerger, assistant agricultural agent in Isle of Wight County, said the rain did "a lot of good. It saved the corn crop, for it was about gone." While Sunday's rain was a good start, Goerger added, "we'll need more to keep the corn going. We could use a couple more inches of a gentle rain." Weather recorders at the Tidewater Research Station in Holland said the 4-inch rainfall helped Nansemond County crops a little "but not a great deal." === **Filename: 7006.pdf** === Page 3 of 21 June 20, 1970..........TO ALL CONTACTS Dr. Sprinkle I bring you very good news. Through the past few years you've seen me write in advance...that I would cause this major power blackout, produce multiple hurricanes for the season, end the drought on the East Coast, end the killer-drought in India...and so on and on and on. Now, at long last, two top scientists have checked me out, my work out...and I have letters from them stating that they are willing to be one of my regular Contacts and observe this continuing "PK"/Si phenomena as it occurs. I deeply regret that they were not in on all the earlier miracles...but, better late than never, as the saying goes. They will now watch, objectively...not disbelieving, not believing...but being the top scientists that they are, in the U.S., constantly observing what the Si's are doing to prove their (Si) reality and their communication with me as their human observer. These two scientists are: Dr. Leo Sprinkle University of Wyoming Dr. J. Allen Hynek Northwestern University It is entirely possible...that with these two eminent gentlemen coming into this action as observers...that in the near time ahead...we may be communicating with the Si's face to face, somehow, somewhere. Which, of course, has been my goal all along. (2) On June 16, 1970, an article appeared in the Ledger-Star newspaper here...to the effect that this area is in a terrible drought. Naturally, seeing this, I contacted the Si's, and they gave the go-ahead. (Remember the chain of storms I made in Phila. and it was confirmed in the newspaper story there? As well as other places; Miami, Florida, more recently.) So I gave Mrs. Niki Dyer, a court-reporter in this office, a document stating (1) I would make it rain substantially here in this area within one week from 6/16; (2) I would keep it raining here in this area all the summer long; (3) I would give this area such a soaking as to be almost beyond belief; (4) It would all be marked, the storms, with my own personal trademark...heavy lightning attacks; (5) I will try to bring a hurricane up from lower Florida this season...to shed more rain on this area. Now: I also sent this notice to the Editor of the Ledger-Star. Since that time...this area has had two night-storms, and today a rocking-socking rainstorm accompanied by spectacular lightning! I want to quote you from that news article: "Let's see, the last time it rained was uhhh...June 6. But that was hardly worth remembering...only .28 inches. June 5 was worse. Only .01 inch fell - not enough to justify even one bar of "Singing in the Rain." The dry weather is having a serious effect on area crops lawns and shrubbery. If it (corn) receives no meaningful rainfall within two weeks, the corn crop will be a disaster."..... Well, Contacts, I've helped that situation already, within the week, as I specified in writing. Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134, CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 P.S. If you think it is easy to bring this about....consider that the various elements of weather combinations along the eastern seaboard and elsewhere must be put together like a jig-saw puzzle to bring about this desired effect! === **Filename: 7006.pdf** === Page 4 of 21 Dr Sprinkle June 13, 1970..........TO ALL CONTACTS The Si's have just successfully completed another "miracle", which I have dutifully reported, for them and from them, to you. As you know, I sent you, some time ago, a message from the Si's...saying that they would give a world-wide demonstration of violent, savage weather phenomena...earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tornados, hurricanes and so on. This has come about in dramatic fashion...Worst avalanches in 30 years in Europe; worst floods in history in Roumania and Germany; worst tornado to ever hit Texas (clobbered Lubbock recently); worst earthquake in 20 years to strike Peru (last week); and the list goes on and on, long long list... since I sent you that letter. Now...also in that letter I told you that the Si's would appear and be reported in the newspapers...as their "signature" to the reality of the whole situation, of them, and their link with me. This morning this "signature" appeared in the newspaper here in Norfolk, The Virginian Pilot, as follows: "RA 2 CREW SIGHTS UFO IN ATLANTIC. Clearwater, Fla. (UPI)---A radio message Friday from explorer Thor Heyerdahl's papyrus boat Ra 2 said crewmen sighted an unidentified flying object (UFO) on their voyage across the Atlantic Ocean toward Mexico. The message, by shortwave radio from navigator Norman Baker, said the UFO moved across the horizon for several minutes and disappeared in "a bright orange flash." The North American Air Defense Command, headquartered at Colorado Springs, Colorado, doubted that the UFO could have been connected with any space shot. An officer at NORAD suggested, "It might have been a meteor." Baker said the sighting was made Thursday morning as the Ra 2 made good headway in a voyage that started last month from the Moroccan port of Safi. Heyerdahl is trying to prove that ancient Egyptians could have used papyrus boats to bring their culture to the Western Hemisphere centuries before Columbus landed. At last report, Ra 2 was 750 miles west of the African coast in the mid-Atlantic. One member of the crew, Ait Madani, spotted the UFO as he was at the helm of the Ra 2." I am very excited about this...it has been a beautiful, perfectly executed demonstration by the Si's, for you. Now I believe, I hope, they will stop the earthquakes and other savage destructive weather phenomena...I asked them to last week, when Peru was devastated. They produced the weather phenomena and "signed" the demonstration with this nationally-reported UPI newspaper write-up of their dramatic appearance to the Ra 2. Perhaps it is the end of the demonstration. I hope so. But...I don't know for sure, either. At any rate they've told you, as plainly as can be, that they are responsible for the world-wide floods, quakes, etc., that have taken place. THIS HAS ENORMOUS IMPLICATIONS, as is quite obvious to you. Now, I'd like a confirmation on this, if any of you would care to give me one, for my files. Because remember...it is only by this means that I have been able to prove my link with the Si's this far.; It is vital to my work. So...any volunteers? (Of course the new "members" of the Contacts will not have this letter I sent which set up the world-wide weather demonstration followed by the Si "signature," so they couldn't confirm anything if they wanted to.) === **Filename: 7006.pdf** === Page 5 of 21 NOW, since some of you are new members of my Contact group (and I must apologize for using that term to Brinsley in London, since my contacts are a relative handful of people and Brinsley's CONTACT is a world-wide organization...but how else to put it?) so at this point I'll fill you in on what the Si's (UFO intelligences) are doing. Because a friend in London asked me to have the Si's demonstrate in England, currently...I have contacted "Control" (top Si intelligence) and requested that the Si's (1) appear over England in numbers, (2) cause weather aberrations around the area of England, and (3) cause the wide appearance of "ghosts" and "poltergeists" in the area of England. I specified for a time-frame the month of June. Of course, I do not know whether they will comply or not. They do not like other humans to suggest experiments...practically all of the "miracles" I've demonstrated through the Si's have been thought up by the Si's and dictated to me...by the Si's. But...I'm trying, with this. And let me explain another problem: the Si's have a different "time" than our time. They have to work from their dimension into our dimension through "time windows". I.e., instead of the above phenomena happening in June...it could take place in July or August. This has occurred before. The phenomena does in fact occur...but out of the time-frame I try to force it into. A friend in New York and a friend in New Jersey...have requested I ask the Si's to appear and thus create more interest in UFO's than is currently being shown by the layman on the street. I have taken this request to "Control" who has promised me that they will appear (as they just have) and be written up in newspapers and mags, to stir up more interest in them. The Si's had promised my Contacts "an earthquake summer"...i.e., violent, savage weather phenomena around the world...to continue through the summer into the fall season. Peru was the latest country to be struck. And day before yesterday 12 towns in Oklahoma, I believe it was, were chewed up by tornados. These are the most recent events. I have a hunch the Si's will strike our east or west coast with a big earthquake during the summer; and I have sound reasons behind that hunch. The Si's some time ago...stated they would harass the Pan-Am (and now other airlines) Jumbo Jet 747's. They have done so very much; their latest actions being the Pan-Am 747 that went off the runway at NY last week; and the shooting on board the Pan-Am 747 last week. You can watch this harassment with interest, knowing it is Si-caused. This coming fall...the Si's are going to "PK" all football stadiums where pro football teams will play...which will cause freak accidents and injuries...and have the effect of causing pro football teams to be regular traveling hospital wards. After the appearance...of some articles coming out in July and August about them...the Si's will reward humans for it...(because it is of the utmost importance to them to have their work known around the world)...by not touching or interfering with the next Apollo shot (they certainly "touched and interfered" with the last two Apollo shots!) === **Filename: 7006.pdf** === Page 6 of 21 3 The Si's are going to cause something strange and unusual...to happen in the Washington, D.C. area, as you know from a recent communication from me; and they are going to "spank" the Miami, Florida area in some way, for reasons of their own. I believe that's the extent, right now...of what they are working on, and reporting to you through me. Before I forget it...let me explain an interesting point. The term "SI" as you know...stands for Space Intelligence, or "Saucer" Intelligence, if you will. However, just recently...the Si's have added to my education from them...by adding sound to the symbols which they've given me to use with them for purposes of communication. This for the first time...and I've been communicating with them for five years now just with symbols. So they've just taught me how to combine sound with the symbols. All right. So now I'm using Sound and Images, right? Which also, if you put that together, comes to "SI". Interesting coincidence. Why the sound with the mental images I use? The best I can explain, from the little explanation they've given me...is that the sound acts as a carrier of the image, giving the mental image more force and carries it truer...they gave me the example of my throwing a light knife (remember I'm a pro knife-thrower) which can wobble and waver in flight and drop off-target. But by adding an amount of tape to the handle...enough weight is given to the knife to throw it hard and true. And so it is with the different and varied sounds they give me to go along with the mental images I'm supposed to use in various assignments they give me. That's it for now. I won't be able to write you very often, because of no postage and no money and very little time to write. But I'll try to keep you abreast of the Si's actions as often as I can, because it is of prime importance to them, and to you, that I do so. For those of you who are new, and might be puzzled by some of the things written herein...get Otto Binder's excellently-written articles re the Si's coming out in SAGA Magazine on the stands in July and August.

And documented in advance in writing. Well, well. I reckon then that some more demonstrations will have to be made. I am setting up an unusual apparatus to cover this area... from the Si's (UFO's) tool-kit of ODE forces and effects (ODE is other-dimensional...which is where the Si's originate... from another dimension). This mechanism will have the effect of highly-charging the Norfolk/Virginia Beach, etc. (Tidewater area) with magnetic and electro-magnetic force. An ODE "grid" has been placed over this area, and is now in operation. The grid acts just like the gimmick that charges a car battery....and this will also draw water from the nearby ocean to this area, besides drawing lightning to this area... So, in the near future things will get lively here. All sorts of weird unusual magnetic and electro-magnetic effects. Lots of lightning...could be even on nice days in the daytime... lots of electrical storms. And so on. I've done this before, using the Si power, and it was fantastic...the results....over the area it was used on. Watch, and see.

STEADMAN Virginian-Pilot Staff Writer A storm punctuated by severe lightning dumped more than 2 1/2 inches of rain on Tidewater Thursday. Better than an inch of precipitation was recorded at Norfolk Regional Airport between 6 and 7 p.m., the Weather Bureau reported. Thunderstorms covered 75 per cent of the state Thursday, according to the Weather Bureau. This was unusual, even if not phenomenal. Two men from the Tidewater area were the object of a Coast Guard search in the Atlantic off Cape Hatteras Thursday night after their 18-foot outboard was reported overdue about 7 p.m. Air surveillance will resume today at first light. A spokesman at 5th District headquarters in Portsmouth said the outboard departed Hatteras about 7:30 a.m. Thursday, and was expected to return well before night. Seas were rough and winds of 25 knots, gusting higher, were reported off the cape during the afternoon, the Coast Guard said. A Coast Guard plane and 44-foot cutter probed the ocean for the tiny boat until high winds and poor visibility forced them to suspend operations about 11 p.m. The men were not identified. The intensity of the rainfall flooded streets and low-lying sections, creating instant lakes and headaches throughout the four South Hampton Roads cities. A mudslide inundated the eastbound lanes of Granby Street at Taussing Boulevard, where the rain washed out dirt from the Interstate 64 overpass under construction, Norfolk police said. Street crews were scraping away the muck, which some reports said was 6 feet deep, late Thursday. Residents of a three-story brick apartment house in the 900 block of Brandon Avenue, Norfolk, were told by firemen to evacuate the building after an accumulation of water caused the roof to collapse. Water seeped through to the ground floor and presented a potential hazard in combination with the electrical system, the residents were informed. Lightning set off a multitude of small fires in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, and Virginia Beach. Authorities said none of the fires was extensive. A freak bolt of lightning caused damage in three widely separate spots at the home of Hubert Bass on Pefley Drive in Norfolk. Bass said the bolt knocked a hole through a garage wall at one end of the five-bedroom brick house, damaged another wall at the opposite end, and shattered a low brick wall he had been building around a tree about 6 feet away from the house. In Virginia Beach, fire officials reported that lightning hit the Lakeville Estates apartments at Indian River Road near Military Highway and struck several residences. Power failures were widespread, mostly the result of lightning striking transformers, authorities reported. Norfolk police reported heavy flooding at all underpasses. The water was 4 1/2 feet deep in places, they said. The deluge left eight automobiles stranded in the underpass on Tidewater Drive at Virginia Beach Boulevard and water was over the top of car wheels on Tidewater Drive around the 2nd Precinct, police said. Brambleton Avenue becomes a running river between Tidewater Drive and Chapel Street. Virginian-Pilot Photo by Neal V. Clark Jr. All right. So far, so good.

Thursday night's sharp series of storms, some with pea-sized hail downtown, left 2.65 inches of rain in Norfolk to 11:15 p.m. and raised June's total to 3.49 inches. Downtown streets were like running rivers at the peak of the downpours. Winds gusted to 40 m.p.h. at Norfolk Airport. More drought-breaking rains are likely. The forecast is for partly cloudy weather tonight and Saturday, but with a continuing (50 per cent) chance of thundershowers. The high today is to be in the 80s; the low tonight in the 60s; and high Saturday again in the 80s. Strong and gusty winds are likely in some thunderstorms. Otherwise, between showers, winds are to be variable at 10 to 15 m.p.h. through Saturday. Heavy thunderstorms rumbled along and south of a stationary front that extended Thursday night from the Atlantic across Southern Maryland to a storm center over north-central Virginia. A particularly severe squall truck the Newport News (Denbigh) area between 5 and 6 p.m. Wind gusts were estimated up to 70 m.p.h. in Norfolk, one end of the five-bedroom brick house, damaged another wall at the opposite end, and shattered a low brick wall he had been building around a tree about 6 feet away from the house...In Virginia Beach fire officials reported that lightning hit the Lakeville Estates apartments at Indian River Road near Military Highway and struck several residences....Power failures were widespread, mostly the result of lightning striking transformers....Norfolk police reported heavy flooding at all underpasses.

A definite cause for the astral light was not assigned but United Press International reported that, "The Navy's Poseidon roared into the night from Cape Kennedy at 9:31 p.m. in the 20th test of the new weapons system Monday." The Bureau said cirrus clouds at 30,000 feet would normally reflect a light into a halo effect. But the bureau spokesman knew of no light, such as the moon, specifically situated Monday night.

Presumably light reflected off circus clouds which were made up of ice particles. The clouds were at 30,000 feet. What was the source of the light? The Norfolk Weather Bureau could not say today. Willie Pegram of 4 Lawrence Circle, Portsmouth, said he observed the halo at 9:20 p.m. from a position near the Elizabeth Manor Golf and Country Club. The halo was south to southwest from that position Pegram said, and as it enlarged it became fainter. Miss Jean Chapman of the weather bureau said that the moon reflecting off cirrus clouds can cause the phenomenon, but the moon did not rise last night until after midnight. Miss Chapman checked with the Richmond and Hatteras, N.C. weather stations and the halo was not reported seen by either. However, an unidentified caller reported seeing the halo at Hatteras, Miss Chapman said. She said Hatteras advised that Cape Kennedy reported that reflected light from a high altitude research rocket fired there was visible as far north as South Carolina. The rocket was fired at 9:31 p.m. With Pegram seeing the halo at 9:20 p.m. the firing and the halo appear unrelated. Persons in Norfolk and Virginia Beach reported seeing the light between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. ter clipping that I found in tonight's , to the letter-copy I sent you from ors of Norfolk on June 24. losely, you will see that by now...I ns this past week here, in advance in ow called this phenomena which occurred which puzzles everyone including the dvance in writing...re my "grid" which ectro-magnetic effects, other-dimensional.

Firemen were still at the scene at midnight. The intense blaze started about 7:30 p.m. Saturday during a thunderstorm in which a lightning bolt struck the 48-foot-high tank at the district plant of the Humble Oil & Refining Co. Only moments before the fire started, the Humble tanker Esso San Francisco at the plant piers had suspended unloading operations because of the storm danger. Several persons on the pier saw the tank hit by the lightning. The ship was then moved from the pier. Firemen battled the blaze throughout the night and into Sunday evening in an effort to keep it from igniting other gasoline storage tanks nearby. The flames lit the sky by night and trailed a thick fog of black smoke in a southwesterly direction Sunday afternoon. Residents of a nearby trailer court left their homes Saturday night as huge fireballs leaped from the blazing tank. Spectators lined Hampton Boulevard, even in intermittent July 4 rain, to watch the brilliant flames. The spectators were still there Sunday although the intensity of the fire had abated somewhat. No firemen were reported injured during the blaze. Murray A. Roberts, regional operations (See Fire, Page A4) Photo by Ben Pulliam The tank blazes in a melted ruin amid other tanks filled with gasoline. === **Filename: 7006.pdf** === Page 16 of 21 # Fire Under Control From Page 1 manager for Humble, said that the damage caused by the blaze would have to be estimated by professional assessors. The 55,000 barrel tank (42 gallons to a barrel) contained "just under 20,000 barrels" of Esso Plus gasoline Roberts said. The tank wall melted down to 18 feet from its original 48 feet. Firemen tried throughout the night to smother the blaze with foam, but without success. "The tremendous updraft from the heat carried the light foam up in the air," said Norfolk Fire Chief Lawrence B. Wilson. "About 8 a.m. we stopped the foaming effort because it just wasn't doing any good. Then we concentrated just on keeping the other exposures (tanks) cool." Wilson said fire fighters got a favorable break in controlling the blaze about 10 a.m. Sunday when the wind died down and shifted to the northeast, blowing the heat and flames away from the other storage tanks. During the darkness hours of Saturday night and Sunday morning the wind sometimes whipped the intense heat and flames sideways so that firemen had to douse one another's clothes and their equipment with water to keep them from igniting. Norfolk sent nine engine companies, two ladder trucks, and one salvage unit to the scene and kept 150 firemen working at the blaze in five and six-hour shifts. The Navy sent two crash trucks from the Norfolk Naval Air Station, a pumping engine from the Naval Station, two fire boats and a tug. The fireboats were later withdrawn. The Coast Guard sent the cutters Mochican, Point Brown, and Cherokee, but later reduced the standby to just the Cherokee. Civil Defense volunteers also aided the fight. Red Cross volunteers and women's auxiliary of the Fire Department served food to the fire fighters. Chesapeake and Virginia Beach fire departments and the Norfolk Naval Station Fire Department sent units to stand duty in Norfolk stations left unmanned because of the fire. === **Filename: 7006.pdf** === Page 17 of 21 # Tides Rained Out 7/6/70 NORFOLK--Rain has claimed another Sunday on the Tide home schedule, the third in the last four as a matter of fact. The game with Rochester at Metropolitan Park was called before noon by Dave Rosenfield, the Tide general manager. "It rained last night and all morning. Even with the infield covered there was no way," Rosenfield said with more than a trace of sorrow. "We've had six Sundays at home and only one really good day, when our Kid's Day promotion drew 3,063. Two others were played in bad weather and three we have lost. We've drawn 82,000 people, almost 50,000 ahead of last year's pace, but with those three Sundays we'd be close to 90,000." The game, the last of a set of three with the Red Wings, will be made up as part of a doubleheader when Rochester returns Aug. 17-20. The Tides have a makeup doubleheader with Syracuse set Tuesday night and another in August with Louisville. On the road games must be made up at Rochester (Friday as part of a twinighter) and Winnipeg. Jesse Hudson (5-2), who was to have pitched Sunday, will now work Tuesday in the doubleheader with the league-leading Chiefs. Bill Denehy (3-1) probably will work the other game because Jon (See Sundays, Page B9) # is Battle; Bucs Win words and within moments, both dugouts emptied. No ejections were made and play was resumed after a few minutes. Hebner's third home run of the season, following a leadoff single by Matty Alou, was the 11th for the Pirates in the four-game series and 12th of the month, one more than they had in all of June. The Pirates, who've won 10 of the last 13, added an unearned run in the first on an error by Ron Santo and Gene Alley's run-scoring single and picked up two more in the fifth on singles by Alou and Roberto Clemente. | PITTSBURGH | | | | | CHICAGO | | | | | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | | ab | r | h | bi | | ab | r | h | bi | | MAlou cf | 5 | 2 | 3 | 0 | Kessinger ss | 4 | 1 | 2 | 0 | | Hebner 3b | 5 | 1 | 1 | 2 | Popovich 2b | 4 | 0 | 2 | 2 | | Clemente rf | 4 | 1 | 1 | 0 | BWilliams lf | 4 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | AOliver 1b | 3 | 0 | 0 | 1 | Hickman cf | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | Stargell lf | 3 | 1 | 1 | 0 | WSmith 1b | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | Jeter lf | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Santo 3b | 4 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | Sanguillin c | 4 | 0 | 2 | 1 | Callison rf | 4 | 0 | 2 | 0 | | Alley ss | 4 | 0 | 1 | 1 | Hiatt c | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | Mazroski 2b | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | CJames pr | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | | Ellis p | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Rudolph c | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | | | | | | Jenkins p | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | | | | | | Spangler ph | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | | | | | | Colborn p | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | | | | | | Martin ph | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | Total | 36 | 5 | 9 | 5 | Total | 35 | 2 | 10 | 2 | | | | | | | | | | | | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Pittsburgh | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0--5 | | Chicago | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0--2 | E--Santo 3.

BAYER Tidewater cleaned up today after a hit-and-run squall Sunday that swept across the area, disrupting power, playing havoc on the waterways and damaging waterfront property. The biggest cleanup operation was at the Portsmouth Marine Terminal where wind that gusted up to 58 miles per hour blew the boom of a giant cargo crane across a container ship. John T. Nix, executive director of the Portsmouth Port and Industrial Commission, said the boom fell on The Baltimore, owned by Sealand Lines, about 1:30 p.m. Sunday at the peak of the storm. Nix said, while waiting for the boom to be raised early today, that there were no injuries. Damage to the boom, he said, appeared extensive, but the ship, he added, did not appear to be badly damaged. The Weather Bureau had ample warning that a squall line was moving rapidly in from the west accompanied by wild thunderstorms. It mounted a severe thunderstorm watch at 8:55 a.m. Sunday and shortly thereafter began issuing small craft warnings. Despite these warnings, there were many small boats in Hampton Roads and on Chesapeake Bay when the storm rolled in about 1 p.m. The Weather Bureau at Norfolk Regional Airport said the temperature dropped from 95 to 73 in about an hour while heavy winds buffeted the area. The peak of the storm, the bureau said, was about 1:38 p.m., but scattered thunderstorms were reported in the area as late as 3:43 p.m. The Coast Guard received dozens of calls and had virtually every piece of rescue equipment in action. There was one possible death. A man identified by the Coast Guard as Leon Hodge, 35, of Hampton was reportedly washed off a sailboat in the bay four miles north of the Thimble Shoals light. The Coast Guard said a 40-foot boat, aircraft and the cutter Point Huron searched for Hodge several hours before suspending the search after nightfall. About 1:30 p.m. Sunday one of the Coast Guard's own, the cutter Sebago, went aground on Willoughby Shoals about three quarters of a mile southwest of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel. A Coast Guard spokesman in Portsmouth said a hawser became entangled in the cutter's propeller and divers were sent over the side before Navy tugs pulled the cutter free at high tide. The Virginia Power and Electric Co. said some 10,000 Tidewater homes were without power for varying periods of time because of the storm. A power company spokesman said crews were still out today restoring service to a few homes in outlying areas. Trouble calls began pouring in at 1:30 p.m. Sunday and most service was restored by 11 p.m., the VEPCO spokesman said. The heavy wind pealed part of the roofing from atop the Quality Courts Motel, which sits at the end of Willoughby Spit between Willoughby Bay and Chesapeake Bay. Mrs. Mary Griffith, a desk clerk at the motel, said: "I told my husband it looked like a tornado. There was so much noise because of the wind. You couldn't believe it." John C. McCaw, the motel's manager, was surveying the damage today. He said water came through the roof and damaged about 60 rooms on two levels. The motel has 120 rooms. Firemen were able to extinguish a gasoline storage tank fire caused by lightening in Chesapeake. No one was injured in the fire, which burned for more than an hour. The storm also blew out 145 feet of freshly erected cinder block in the north walls of the new Rena B. Wright school in Chesapeake. The wall was 12 feet high and was ready to receive steel joists. === **Filename: 7006.pdf** === Page 19 of 21 Storm Knocks Out Electricity to Some From Page 1 of Virginia Beach, rescued two men who were floating on life cushions after their 19-foot outboard overturned near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Billy T. Cooper, a passenger on Loziato's boat, estimated the seas at 10 to 15 feet and winds at 60 to 65 m.p.h. They rode out the storm, which lasted nearly an hour, northeast of the Bridge-Tunnel's fourth island. The Coast Guard cutters reported making numerous rescues, including a father and son in Chesapeake Bay. Hardest hit by the storm was the Quality Courts Motel in the 1500 block of West Ocean View Avenue. The winds knocked half the roof off the 120-room motel. John C. McCaw, motel manager, estimated the damage to the roof and furniture in the rooms at about $100,000. Although about 30 of the rooms were occupied, he said, no one was injured. He said the motel will remain open while repairs are made to the roof. The Weather Bureau said the storm was caused by a squall line ahead of a low-pressure area moving west to east. The high winds were not unexpected as a severe thunderstorm watch had been in affect from 8:55 a.m. and a tornado watch from 1:15 p.m. Both were lifted at 6 p.m. Wing gusts up to 80 m.p.h. whipped Blackstone in eastern Virginia and small hail was reported near Raleigh-Durham, N.C. The tornado watch was issued for portions of the Carolinas as well as southeast Virginia. Scattered damage was caused by the storm as the winds felled trees and knocked limbs across power lines. Power was lost for more than seven hours in scattered parts of Norfolk, said J. T. Mason, Virginia Electric Power Co.'s district superintendent. He said that more than 10,000 homes in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, and Chesapeake were without power during the storm. The storm also damaged power lines throughout Suffolk and the Tri-County Area, leaving hundreds of homes without electricity for several hours. Vepco crews were kept busy until late Sunday night clearing limbs from high-voltage lines and repairing downed lines. In Virginia Beach, the most serious problem was a massive traffic jam on Shore Drive at Pleasure House Road and at Northampton Boulevard created by a power failure in the Bayside area of the city. At one time, westbound traffic on Shore drive was backed up, bumper to bumper in two lanes, for more than three miles from the intersection at Pleasure House Road. Thousands of people on the beach at Sandbridge, south to the North Carolina state line, were warned of the storm by city police to clear the beaches. Lt. Carl Weast of the 1st Precinct said some paid no attention to the warnings and "wished they had," but no problems were reported. A report that two people were aboard an airfloat being blown to sea off the beach at 53rd Street was apparently false, a spokesman for the Fire Department said. The search was called off about 30 minutes after it began. During the peak of the storm, many small boats sought safety inside the Lynnhaven and Rudee inlets, and one sailboat that overturned was finally brought ashore at Chesapeake Beach without injury to its occupants, police said. In the South Norfolk section of Chesapeake, a wall of the new Rena B. Wright Elementary School collapsed. Officials at the school, under construction at Park Avenue and Perry Street, were unable to estimate damage or say how much delay can be expected in completion of the building. State Trooper E. H. Davis Jr. said an automobile on U.S. 58-460 seven miles east of Suffolk was blown off the highway and hit a tree. The victims were identified as Mrs. Phyllis Crumble, of the 100 block of Ackiss Avenue, Virginia Beach, and her two sons, James, 5, and Darrell, 4. Mrs. Crumble and James were treated and released and Darrell was admitted to Maryview Hospital for a possible head injury. A home on U.S. 460 north of Suffolk was heavily damaged with it was apparently struck by lightning, firemen said. === **Filename: 7006.pdf** === Page 20 of 21 Wind Victims Children inspect what would have been a wall of the new Rena B.

The Virginian-Pilot M Monday, June 22, 1970 Section B Lightning Sparks Tank Fire Fireball Seen Over Chesapeake By DAVE LEONARD Virginian-Pilot Staff Writer CHESAPEAKE -- Lightning struck a 35-foot tall gasoline storage tank early Sunday causing a fire that burned more than an hour, fire fighters reported. Witnesses said flames roared skyward in a fireball visible for miles about 2:25 a.m. when lightning struck a 30,000-barrel Texaco tank near Bank and Maulden streets, South Hill. Acting Fire Chief D. S. Keay said the flames died suddenly about 3:30 a.m. while two huge streams of water cooled the tank. Two Navy foam trucks arrived as the flames died. No one was hurt by the blaze. Fire fighters admitted they were concerned, especially after reports of fatalities in an oil fire in a Franklin, Pa., storage area Friday and Saturday. The lightning and fire ruptured the tank top. Fire fighters said the tank was about half full and no flaming liquid reached the ground. Two deluge water guns, one atop an aerial ladder, continued to pour water on the tank until about 6 a.m. when Texaco officials said the tank's internal temperature was back to a normal 79 degrees. Many residents reported seeing the fireball erupt during the lightning-punctuated storm. Scott Sherman, occupant of a home less than 100 yards from the tank, said he saw the lightning hit. "I saw so much light," he said, "and I thought the house was on fire." Sherman said a three-pronged bolt hit, and fire erupted from the top rear of the tank. Sherman said he and his wife ran from the house into the rain. Moments earlier he had closed windows as the rain began. Acting Battalion Chief James Doughtie said the strategy used to fight the fire involved handheld lines to cool the fire as soon as the first four pumpers arrived. Four 2½-inch lines were attached to an unmanned deluge gun and fire fighters retreated to a safer distance to await foam units from Norfolk Naval Base and Air Station. A Norfolk aerial ladder, called when Chesapeake's ladder failed to operate, projected a second large stream atop the tank from Bank Street.

Virginian-Pilot Photos by Bill Randolph Tidewater Storm Hits Buildings and Boats By DON HUNT Virginian-Pilot Staff Writer Winds gusting to 58 miles per hour in the midst of a severe thunderstorm Sunday afternoon quickly cooled off one of the hottest days of the year. The high winds apparently forced the Coast Guard cutter Mohican to go aground in Sewells Point Spit, knocked half the roof off an Ocean View motel in Norfolk, left more than 12,000 homes without electricity for several hours, and capsized numerous small boats. The 5th Coast Guard District headquarters in Portsmouth received more than 65 distress calls during the storm, and a Coast Guard spokesman said that one man apparently drowned. Leon Hadge, 35, believed to be from Hampton, was washed off the sailboat Totem H. near Buckroe Beach. He had not been found when a search was called off at dusk. A high of 95 was recorded at 1 p.m. The mercury dropped to 73 shortly after 2 p.m., during the peak of the storm. The Weather Bureau said about half an inch of rain fell during the storm. A Coast Guard spokesman said the Sebago, a Pensacola, Fla.-based cutter, went aground at 1:30 p.m. about three-fourths of a mile southwest of Ft. Wool. The 255-foot former gunboat was freed at high tide about 8:30 p.m. Three Navy tugboats were unable to free the cutter Sunday afternoon. The cutter, en route to Pensacola from Curtis Bay, Md., was headed to a Hampton Roads anchorage to load explosives, the spokesman said. Many pleasure boats, from small outboards to luxury sport fishermen, were caught in the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean by the blow. The Coast Guard reported picking up boaters throughout the area. Other rescues were reported by private boats. A Coast Guard airplane from Elizabeth City, N.C., five cutters, and four utility boats searched the James River, Chesapeake Bay and Virginia Beach and North Carolina coasts. The Touche II, a 36-foot sport fishing boat owned by Al Loziato (See Storm, Page A4) Workmen begin repairs to the roof of the motel.

Text Any textual data included in the document === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 1 of 52 July 4, 1970 Postmark July 4, 1970 RLS Drs. Hynek and Sprinkle... this letter, as the others, requires no answer. Matter of fact I wasn't even going to write it...but Si's prodded me to do so. You see, being part Si myself...sometimes I catch indications and "shadows" of their thoughts and plans. Lately I caught some interesting information from the "shadow areas", and am passing it along. The Si's and OI's are enemies. But they do not fight and kill each other as we do. They fight each other with ideas. Mental Imagery is one of their key weapons. For instance, us humans...to the OI's (Other Intelligences, not the Si's)...us humans are like roaches or rodents fouling their garden (the earth). To the Si's we are a most valuable animal species which they are studying and trying to perfect, through the ages. The OI's try to get rid of us...the Si's try to help us and perfect us. It was the OI's who "planted" the idea for nuclear and atomic warfare in the human brain, which then came into fruition. They then speeded up our technological abilities, knowing full well they were implanting ideas into our human brains faster than our human souls and human psychologies could absorb them...they were, in effect, building a time-bomb into the human race. The OI's have done such a good job...of helping us eliminate ourselves...that the Si's have been desperate enough to actually request a base on earth, in the U.S., for purposes of trying to avert the nuclear holocaust they know is on its way. Are you familiar with...if the right note is struck, it can break a glass vessel? Are you familiar with the mysterious number of deaths of hillbilly singers these past ten years? Dozens of them killed in a weird, mystifying number of ways? It's true, if you'll check. Well, their own music killed them. Their wailing, sad, crying music...created conditions around them to destroy them. Mass music can accomplish that, say the Si's. They say the OI's deliberately implanted the "rock" and "go-go" music now sweeping the country...and this music, mass music, creates destructive conditions on a far greater scale even than hillbilly music. Instead of one note breaking a glass...multiply that same note by a million, and what do you get? You see? The Si's say that music is not just sound that fades away quickly...but it actually causes conditions around it. They say this music will wreck this country in this manner faster than a previous-type war could. One by-product of this rock music is to drive listeners to use dope...which is what the OI's want...because while the rock listener is on dope, the OI's can somehow insert their intelligence and plant powerful suggestions into the mind and soul of the one on dope, which will then effect humans around that dope person later...effect, and infect. Yes, mass music can cause mass vibrations, which will effect humans en masse, say the Si's. Something to think about. Of course, what I am saying here is nothing of my usual work...no documented material. Just file it. But...you might think about it. Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 Owens === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 2 of 52 July 18, 1970 Mr. Richard Vallance 311-B 22nd Street Virginia Beach, Virginia Dr. Sprinkle Posted APM 19 Jul 70 RLS Now you can see, Richard, how the Si's take care of people who give me a hard time. Let's recap. You brought Pincon over to see me. He was insulting. I wrote you and told you the Si's would give him a spanking for that. (He got off lightly compared to what has happened to others who insulted me.) In the newspapers a few days ago I read that Pincon's house... which is a haven for hippies... was raided by the police, who caught one of the men in the house with hashish in his pockets. Now, what will be the result of that? From now on you may rest assured that all mail going to and going from that house will be intercepted and scanned. Mail cover. The phone(s) may be tapped. Probably. The doctors and respectable professional men who have been dealing with that house... now will have sober second thoughts, certainly not wishing to be embarrassed by having their connection with a "haven" which shelters dope addicts with dope in their pockets, and police running in and out, known. They will probably drop away their professional support. Pincon himself will no doubt have his past scrutinized as it has never been scrutinized before. And if I read him right, it will not stand scrutinizing. In short... nice spanking. Ted Owens (PK Man) P.S. And of course it will be much more difficult for him now to get financial backing for the "haven". Or cult, as the case may be. Owens === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 3 of 52 Dr Sprinkle Saturday, July 18, 1970 President Nixon: At 2:15 P.M., as I was having lunch at the Puritan Cafe in Norfolk, the top intelligence of the Si's appeared on the empty seat opposite me...it has a black, shapeless head with blazing eyes...that's all I could see...and this is the first time it has ever done this. As I looked at it in astonishment...it seemed to fumble for words...as I would in Mexico City trying to order something in Spanish...and slowly, very slowly, the following message appeared: "TELL PRESIDENT DANGER SOON!" And then it vanished. And that was all I could get. I tried to figure out...if it meant danger for you, personally.. such as an attempted assassination by some nut, or danger for the U.S. About the only way I could get a clue...would be to go by my "feeling" that went with the message...and the "feeling" is that it is personal danger to you, in the immediate future. Say, for the next 90 days your life might be in the greatest danger from some unexpected source. (That 90 days is my guess.) I called the Secret Service here in Norfolk at 2:30, but no answer; guess they don't work on Saturday here. There's no quick pipeline to you for info the Si's give me, which is a pity. If they warn me of some disaster on Saturday or Sunday...and it strikes on Saturday or Sunday...there's no way to get it topside, the message, that is. I.e., "soon" as the Si's say...might mean today or tomorrow... in which case this message would be too late. You see? No way to get it to you at all from Norfolk. So, seeing as how the Si's used a "first" to get this message across...not relying on their usual method of communication... I would guess that something really big is up, aimed at you personally...and it might be a good idea to avoid the White House for a bit. Or tip off just where you'll be for a bit. And be careful, very careful, at this point of time...keep well guarded. Trusted guards, even. Ted Owens, (PK Man) Box 3141 CHS, Norfolk, Va. Owens P.S. I think the danger may stem from a Senator or Congressman or perhaps official, high official, willing to pay the price of an attempt on your life. === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 4 of 52 July 11, 1970 Dr. Sprinkle PM July 11, 1970 Dr. Hynek; I am going to perform an experiment...just for you along. That is, in your honor. Since you live, I suppose, in Evanston, and are a scientist at Northwestern University...this gives us, you and me, an excellent opportunity for a full-blown experiment utilizing not only my own PK powers...but Si powers as well. When the Jets played the All-Stars last year...I used PK on the game to beat the world champions...and almost did. Game ended 27-29, or something like that. The All Stars came from way behind...and given just a few more minutes, with My PK, would have beaten Namath and the Jets. (You have to understand that I do not win each and every game with my PK powers...I take a certain team and pursue it through the season... and tell the coach of that pro team in advance of the season that he will not be able to win the World Championship, because my PK will block the team. Last year I told Weeb Eubank before the season, coach of the Jets; also the Eagles; and the Miami Dolphins, who had a poor chance, but they told me they had a good chance, so I made sure they didn't. So this year I'll pursue the Kansas City Chiefs...World Champions...with my PK...to block them from winning the Championship. And I'll start with their first game against the All-Stars on July 31 at the stadium at Northwestern. Now, here is what I'll do: Am going to set up an EM grid (electromagnetic grid) over the stadium that night. It will be an ODE grid (other-dimensional, unseen) but it should have powerful effect on the stadium, and on the people in the stadium, since individuals have EM fields of their own. It could effect the power at the stadium, radios, TV broadcasting, etc. Then...I'll personally, using my brain, attack the KC Chiefs on every play...which can cause weird things to happen. Unusual fumbles; unusual breaks in favor of the All Stars. And injuries, because the PK works in a thousand ways...and of course to injure key players would be basic in stopping the Chiefs. Then...I'll go further. I will signal the UFO intelligences that I deal with...and request them to send one or more craft near or over the stadium, to insert their own phenomena into the game. (They can be invisible, other-dimensional, so they probably will not be seen.) So, all in all, it should be a wild, unusual game...and I'll do my utmost to help the All Stars win it. But if they do not, at least I hope to be able to show you a wide range of phenomena during the game directly attributable to the Si's...and my own brain. As I said...I do not depend on one single game to stop a World Championship team from repeating...but will use the All Stars as a hammer against the Chiefs...in this game. But I will do my best to make the Chiefs lose the game. IT IS INFINITELY BETTER IF I CAN BE AT THE GAME MYSELF. As it is, I have to do my work over TV, watching the game that way. But...I have no money to fly to Evanston, stay overnight, and pay my way into the game. Am a financially poor man. It should be fascinating...and am delighted to be able to set up an experiment which you can observe yourself. As you know...am doing wonderfully here in Norfolk right now...bringing in storm after storm, with lightning attacks. There's no question about it. Best... Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 Owens === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 5 of 52 July 12, 1970 Dr. Hynek Dr. Sprinkle Gentlemen: Something startling and new has occurred...in my relationship with the UFO intelligences (Si's) and I thought I should relay it on to you. For years...in causing storms and lightning-attacks on areas... the Si's have had me extend my fingers toward the sky and "see" in my mind bolts of lightning flashing out of my extended fingers toward the sky. There is more to it, but that's enough to tell you about that. Several days ago...standing outside and extending my hand toward the sky and preparing to bring more rain to now-soggy and groggy and inundated Virginia...the Si's stopped me. They communicated that my mind HAD REACHED A NEW PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT. They seemed to be quite pleased about it. As if I had "graduated" from something less to something more. They told me...from now on to just look at the sky, and I would be able to "see" lightning bolts flashing out of my eyes at the sky. They said my brain had new power of some sort, now. That I was "different now." They also warned me...to be sure NOT to ever look at any person or living thing...and "see" the lightning bolts flashing from my eyes. That it would destroy that person or living thing. They told me that I had had so much experience by now...in controlling the various other-dimensional effects...that they felt it was quite safe to trust me in this regard; i.e., not to lose my temper and use the lightning bolts from the eyes on some trivial argument or even fight with some human or humans. Or to use it in any wrong way, for that matter. What impressed me was: their emotion over this development. Ordinarily the Si's do not reflect an emotion. Can't recall their ever having reflected an emotion...and didn't think they were capable of it. But this development seemed to be something very big to them. My own impression: they are leading me, taking me, step by step, upwards on some kind of scale...to see how much power of theirs a human can contain and survive...to see how a human brain which has been modified by them (they did that to me years ago) could grow and progress under that modification. You don't know my mind and mental processes...but I love children; have had many opportunities to kill attackers in combat situations, yet did not do so; I love pets; won't even hunt because I can't conceive of killing God's creatures unless I were starving, just to survive; and I have steel-nerved control over these reflexes. Just thought the above might be interesting to you, to know about. Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134, CHS, Norfolk, Va. Owens === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 6 of 52 July 12, 1970 Mr. Hank Stram, Coach Kansas City Chiefs Football Team Liberty, Missouri Dear Mr. Stram: I regret to say...that I must, for the sake of a demonstration...block, and stop, the Kansas City Chiefs Football Team this 1970 season...with my mind...from attaining World Championship status again this year. In other words...from this moment on your team has no chance whatsoever of becoming World Champion. And it might never, from this time on, because "PK" grows, once it is once used...as the Philadelphia Eagles found out. Not only did I wreck their team; get Kuharich fired; put Wolman into bankruptcy...but this has continued...as you know the Eagles have just been "frozen" in a sort of limbo, etc. Of course you won't believe this...that a man's mind...could wreck your fine team. It would only be human to disbelieve it. For nothing like it has ever existed. What you can expect: A season of unprecedented fumbling, bumbling, strange freak accidents and injuries, all causing games to be lost. It will be weird. And that's how you will know...that "PK Man" is doing it with his mind. I could not, of course, put on this demonstration with a weak team. It must of necessity be the toughest and best team in the world...and that happens to be your team. I respectfully suggest...that you do not throw this letter away...file it...and remember it. ********** You might as well know something further...I control pro football. Last season I was instrumental in controlling various pro football teams. This is a plain fact. Check with the owners of the Miami Dolphins; with the coach of the Jets, or Namath; and the Phila. Eagles staff. I told them in advance of the season what to expect. I also control pro basketball; but that's beside the point, and not important here. It will be a strange, weird game when you play the All Stars, because my control will begin in that game. You just might win it, if you are lucky...but it will be at high price. However, power from another dimension...will be working against your team...in that game on July 31st.

Singer Dr. Sprinkle Important Otto: An extraordinary thing has occurred, which I want you to know about immediately. As well as Mr. Singer. Enclosed is a letter which is self-explanatory. It is very valuable to me, and you can return it whenever you are able. Now...you recall some months ago...that I notified you that the Si's would actually "broadcast" all over the U.S., from their craft, in the way that they have...in order to subtly force people to buy Saga when it came out with our story? Matter of fact, Mr. Singer sent me an advance copy so that I could telepathize the cover to the Si's...so that they in turn could telepathize it, with an order to get it, to the American people everywhere. I just received a letter from a man I've never heard of. Mr. Avram Davidson, 2 Wootton Road, Essex Fells, New Jersey, 07021. In the letter Mr. Davidson (1) says that he was mentally forced into going and looking for Saga and buying it...with our story in it, and (2) he was then forced to notify me about it. What this means...is that the Si's actually had him do this...in order to notify me, and you, and Mr. Singer...that they were cooperating with us! He begins by talking about reading my book...then, "Then I started getting a desire to read this months SAGA magazine. I found myself canvasing stores I never went into before looking for this months SAGA. Sort of getting mugged into buying the magazine. Naturally this issue started with an interview with you...I might add that I have been thinking of writing to you for some time but never until now got around to it."

I realize that this is virtually stupid of me, as well as damn egotistical, but I was wondering if they were after me to write to you? I'm sorry if I have wasted your time with this letter, but something inside of me was sort of pestering me to do it." And there you have it. One of the most amazing things I've ever encountered! Of course he would have no way of knowing of the arrangement I'd set up...to get an advance copy...to broadcast the suggestion through the Si's, etc. Do you agree on this?

They make you this offer...because you are the only one locally who has given them any exposure at all, even if at times it was not the exact exposure they wanted. If you do not accept their offer herein, then they will make the offer to Bonko and the Ledger-Star. After that they will withdraw the offer completely. Their offer: In your column mention that on a certain day you will print a certain phrase of words in your column, that the SI's have told me to pass on to you. If that certain column containing the certain phrase of words is clipped out and kept on the person of that reader, and underneath their pillow at night, with the reader saying that phrase of words once daily...then tremendous good fortune will come to that reader. It is not necessary at all that the reader believe in it or have any faith in it. And you can express your skepticism as much as you like. All that is necessary is...that the reader follow instructions. And you will ask...readers to send in any odd, unusual results they might get...to be serious about it, no funnies...for you to "file". The SI's state that this will result in a tremendous sale of papers...and bring an enormous amount of attention and "word of mouth" publicity to your paper, which of course is money in the bank to your paper over the long run. I know you've just done a column on the SI's...that's why I didn't want to write this. The SI's, however, do not care about that. Remember, they are not humans. If I don't hear from you on this within a short time, say by next Wednesday, will send the SI offer to Bonko and the Ledger-Star. If they are not interested, then that's it.

Quandary: I proposed a bargain, (for the Si's): I would quit making it rain constantly in this area, if the paper would publish a confirmation of the Multiple-Miracles which I'd just brought about (through the Si's) in this area. You dropped over, said okay, and ran the article. BUT: the article did not mention that I said in writing I'd bring a storm in a week, and got it in five days; that I'd make weird electromagnetic effects happen in this area, and then the "strange object in the sky" appeared; that I'd save the crops, and they were saved; that I'd actually bring a hurricane close enough to water the area down with rain, and Hurricane Becky did just that. And so forth. These were the things you were supposed to publish, to make our agreement valid...yet you did not. Just a vague general mention that I'd written "a month ago" I'd make it rain and storm, and there'd been a "few". Ha. All right. Now, problem. You did publish a confirmation for the Si's, although you confirmed the wrong things. And you seem to be in good faith about the matter; and want the rain stopped. Do I keep it raining all summer long (I can certainly do that) because you didn't give the Si's what they want? Or do I remove the mechanism that's set up...and make it stop raining...because you did produce a confirmation column, albeit the wrong confirmation, in good faith, but just erring? Here is what the Si's have instructed me: I'm to keep on making it rain week after week, until I hear from you on this. If I do not hear from you on this then I'm to assume that you either don't care whether it rains or not, or, since the Si's are allowing you to be the fair judge of the matter...you realize you didn't give them what they wanted, and judge that the rain should continue. In the event that you write and tell me you thought the article was what the Si's wanted, and did it in good faith expecting the rain to end...then and only then will I stop the rainfall. Okay? Best to you and yours....

The central dispatcher for the Virginia Beach fire and rescue squad said today two radio transmitters were knocked out in his office by surges in power from the storm. Virginia Beach Junior High School, The Cavalier Hotel and at least four residences in scattered areas of the city placed calls to the fire department for assistance between 7:30 and 11 p.m. There were no injuries or major fires. The U.S. Weather Bureau at Norfolk Regional Airport said today the thunderstorm was confined to Virginia Beach and had little effect on other Tidewater area cities. A spokesman at the Weather Bureau said the storm was located north, east and south of the airport and he called it a "typical thunderstorm." He also said there has been a theory advanced lately that the unusually large amount of haze in the area is responsible in part for lightning being grounded more easily. The haze condition might have helped, he said, but this is only a theory that is being studied. Elsewhere in Virginia Beach, the Virginia Electric and Power Co. said it had a "hectic" night. "We had a lot of wind, rain and lightning," said Wallace Faison, district supervisor for the Virginia Beach Vepco office. "There were no widespread power failures." Faison said the affected areas included Thalia Creek, Kings Grant, Kingston, Little Neck and Malibu. The power failures affected only three or four customers in each of the areas, he said. A transformer on a utility pole exploded when struck by the lightning and caught fire, he said. According to the rescue squad dispatcher, the two radios knocked out at the Princess Anne Plaza headquarters were a stand-by remote fire transmitter and the Public Works Department transceiver. Officials at the Cavalier Hotel said today no damage occurred to the building. This lightning attack -- called by me in advance, in writing. (Documented.) Owens === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 12 of 52 August 1, 1970 .......... TO ALL CONTACTS (1) Re my EM and demonstration on this Norfolk/Virginia Beach area, large headline in the newspaper Ledger-Star here last night, 7/31/70: "VIRGINIA BEACH HIT BY SEVERE LIGHTNING" by Jack Dorsey. It points out that a severe lightning attack...caused bolts of lightning to hit more than a dozen places in Virginia Beach...including the Virginia Beach High School, The Cavalier Hotel (famous spot) and "at least" four homes in scattered areas of the city...the "storm" was confined to Virginia Beach.. two radio transmitters were knocked out "by surges in power" (see my earlier correspondence to you re the "grid" that would indeed cause surges in power)...the authorities stated this lightning attack "is being studied" as to its cause...the Virginia Electric and Power Company said it had a "hectic night." And it is interesting that one of the radio transmitters knocked out was a "fire transmitter"..(do you recall that for a joke I stood in front of the fire department and signalled for a lightning attack recently?) (2) The All Star-KC Chiefs Game last night. Score: Chiefs 24, Stars 3. And I told you...that I would use my mind, PK powers, to block and stop the Chiefs, right? Well, you say, obviously it didn't work, right? Wrong. The PK worked amazingly well. Let me show you how it did. The World Champions only made, earned, one touchdown. That's 7 points. And they got a kick. That's 3 points. All together the Chief's champion offensive team...only made 10 points! Not only that, but during the entire second half of the game, and remember they were playing, as it turned out, an impotent, helpless Star team that couldn't run and couldn't pass...during the entire second half the Chiefs could not score. They tried every trick in the book, too. And Dawson, said to be the best quarterback in all the pro teams, played just about the whole game. Now, the extra 14 points...were gift points..."cheap" touchdowns, as the pros put it...not made on purpose by the crack offensive team, but scored by the defensive team when the Star quarterbacks simply threw the ball away to Chief defenders, who took the gifts and ambled over for scores. I think that Hank Stram, the Chiefs coach, would be fair enough to tell you...that the lowly Miami Dolphins, with equal practice time, could have beaten them, the Chiefs, last night. Not only that...the PK stopping the Chiefs very cold...but the PK gave the All Stars opportunites to make touchdowns at least a half a dozen times! But what did they do with the opportunities? Threw the ball away into the arms of the Chiefs, or dropped passes, stumbled and bumbled and tossed away every opportunity the PK attack gave them. As I wrote you previously...the PK cannot carry the ball. All it can do is pave the way for scoring, by blocking the other team and holding back the other team. The favored team must capitalize on the breaks... and this is where the Stars broke down. Without the two cheap gift touchdowns...the score would have been 10-3; and if the Stars had scored even two or three of the splendid chances the PK gave them to make touchdowns...they'd have beaten the Chiefs easily. If you will watch the Chiefs now, as they go further into the season... you'll see them fall apart with key injuries. They'll win some games; but the PK will take them apart...and they won't be World Champions again. You may think this is all poppycock; but I've been attacking with PK for several years - you might say I'm a pro at it - and remember how I dismantled the Eagles! Believe me, it's mighty potent stuff!

Dyer, Court Reporter Dr. Sprinkle Knows any other human who can call the shot on 2 months of rain, at least once a week? (Starting with drought) Well, well, well...you see? You didn't pay attention. And look what happened! As you know, since I first wrote you and put on record that I intended bringing rain to this drought-stricken area...this area has had rain every week for about two months, approx. I haven't missed one single week, have I, in bringing rain to this area since first writing to you? Well, then...all I got from you was silence...so I put up an other-dimensional EM grid...so cause radio and TV and other electrical and EM weird effects in the area. Also, I warned you that Virginia Beach was going to be smarting...as the result of this rain, continued rain, and the loss of tourist dollars. Hokay! You know what happened Thursday, July 16...giant Art Show at the Beach...people there by the thousands...an Annual Art Show. Outside. And the artists gleefully set up their paintings and rubbed their hands, seeing dollar signs in these thousands of onlookers. Swoosh! Down came the rain. People ran in all directions. Oil paintings and other paintings simply vanished as the rain poured down on them...and all those lovely dollar signs vanished, too, in the eyes of the artists...as they watched those lovely thousands of people run for their dry lives. I quote the newspaper: "Rain interrupted the show (art) twice Thursday and cut the volume of sales. Last year the total was about $19,000.00 for the first two days." Based on the last year sales...the artists could have dropped roughly $9,000.00 (which is more than I make in a week). The next day...Friday...without repeated rainstorms...the artists made $13,669.00. So...I warned you in advance they'd drop a bundle at the Beach from the rain...but you didn't listen...and they did. Just as an added phillip...on Thursday nite and Friday nite, June 16 and 17...TV sets went haywire in this area...and across the TV screen flashed the message: "This is not your TV set, but due to co-channel atmospheric interference." There was also loss of sound on programs and other freakish things happening. The "grid" is getting stronger now. But...Hope Is On The Horizon. Possibly the Si's may get their wish, bless their little hearts...and this true miraculous story just might get printed, so that it will be on record...in which case the storms will come to a screeching halt...and all will be Heaven again for those Lovely Tourists, as well as the nail-biting Va. Beach Chamber of Commerce.

Flooding 7/23/70 ALEXANDRIA (AP) -- Eastern area headquarters of the American Red Cross said its chapters in Southwest Virginia, Western North Carolina, and Southeastern West Virginia have been alerted to be prepared for possible flash flooding from 6 p.m. Wednesday until noon today. The flood watch covered 12 Virginia counties as Tropical Storm Becky moved northward with rainfall up to 6 inches possible, according to the Weather Bureau. The Virginia counties warned included Wise, Dickenson, Buchanan, Tazewell, Bland, Giles, Montgomery, Pulaski, Wythe, Floyd, Carroll, and Grayson. A Red Cross spokesman said chapter workers and national disaster staffs are standing by to render any assistance that may be necessary. Persons in the affected counties living in low-lying areas or along streams were advised to keep tuned to local radio or television stations for further reports. In event of serious flooding, the spokesman said, instructions will be broadcast for evacuations and places of shelters. ot, Thursday, July 23, 1970 WEATHER BUREAU FORECAST TO 7:00 P.M.

Dyer, Court Reporter Ever been propositioned by a flying saucer? Well, you are being, now. The Si's communicated with me today and directed me to send this message. Their request: that the local newspapers tell the public that they have saved the local crops, which were in disaster-danger from drought. (Have you noticed your third rainstorm is going on this morning outside?) Let the writer explain the letters IN ADVANCE of the rainstorms, saying it would happen. Also they request that the mysterious "halo" that the Weather Bureau could not explain, be connected with the letter stating that this area would be electro-magnetized by an other-dimensional grid...and that weird, strange things WOULD happen, like that halo. In short, they want the people, the public, to know what is transpiring. (And incidentally, if any of your friends start behaving peculiarly...the Si's say that this giant electro-magnetic field WILL AFFECT HUMANS, because each of us has an electrical field of our own.) In return...the Si's will cease with their rainstorms. Now, why should the local newspapers cooperate in this? Very simple. Bundles and bundles of money will be lost...by this resort area, famous resort area...with the rain pouring down every few days, on and on. Mrs. Gotrocks in New York will tell her husband..."dear, let's not go down to Virginia Beach this season, too much rain down there...let's go somewhere else." And they will, too. And the people here in the hotels and motels will have to sit inside the hotels and motels, cussing and chewing on their fingernails in frustration. Lots of tourist money involved. And the Si's say...they will begin to show their craft, their flying saucers and strange UFO's...in this area soon.

Dyer, Court Reporter Dr. Sprinkle In this letter...am going to make you a most interesting...proposition. But first...have a chuckle for the day. You know, of course, that lightning struck and destroyed the Humble Oil tank over the weekend, and the local fire department was on the job the whole weekend trying to contain it. Well at noon today I strolled over and stood right in front of the Fire Department and signalled the Si's to produce lots more lightning and storms. Heh heh. How fiendish can you get? Now, to serious business. IF one of your newspapers will publish this entire matter...my letters, the dates on them...the drought...crops in danger...storms...crops saved...lightning attacks as per my call on it...Electromagnetic "grid" then the sighting of the "strange object in the sky". The whole thing. Publish it. Then I'll tell you what I'll do. For starters...I'll stop making storms and hitting Norfolk with lightning. For a bonus I'll do this: Most people think that Pete Rozelle, Commissioner of Pro Football, controls pro football. Actually, he does not. Owens does. Last year I controlled the Eagles, the Dolphins, and the Jets. They know about it, and so do my contacts. I think Maddry saw enough documentation on my work with pro football and basketball, to know something about this. All right. Now, the Si's have a plan of their own...to attack all pro teams this coming season with the object of creating entire teams of walking-wounded. Well, that's their business. But I'll tell you what I'll do. The paper that prints the above story that the Si's want printed...may choose any five pro football teams they want, for the coming pro season, to be losers. And you can start with the World Champions to be number one losers, if you want to. I'll take those five teams...and beat them with my mind...just my mind...this coming pro season. Freakish things will happen to them...and they will not be able to make a Championship. They'll be losers next season. I can do all that...as easily as I make storms and lightning attacks. Try me, and see. Your readers should be fascinated to see...whether I can do it or not, even if you are not especially interested. Now, you might think it is childish for the Si's to take a special interest in such a trivial thing as pro football. But I happen to know their plan...and it is ultra-brilliant. Not trivial at all. Just looks that way.

Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 Owens === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 23 of 52 Lawrence Maddry HEYWOOD HALE BROUN, CBS News sports-caster, was in Norfolk Tuesday, a Little Orphan Annie in a sportcoat as outrageously flowered as a Tahitian garden. He was here to interview Ted Owens, the city's resident evil eye. Accompanied by a CBS-TV crew, this gentleman of the twinkle-twitch eyes and rakish moustache performed a neat little miracle of television reportage which will explain Owens' hex on football's Baltimore Colts. The scenario, which roams from the cluttered and bizarre apartment where Owens' tuning fork rings the ears, to the clank and thump of cargo loaded onto hulking containerships at Norfolk International Terminals, to the black cat, electric purr of psychedelic lights in the back of The Magic Shop, probably will be viewed nationally over CBS, either this weekend or next. This goblins-will-get-you-if-you-don't-watch-out drama, reported here earlier, has been improved upon by Broun, a master of the lyrical phrase, who arrived in Norfolk after covering the Preakness with its "rhythmic pounding of hoofbeat energy." "I defied all logic by selecting Impetuosity because of a friendship with its owner," he said. He will ride, spiritually, with Preakness winner Canonero II in the Belmont. Even those unfamiliar with Heywood Hale Broun must surely know his father, the crusading giant of American journalism who, like his son, was acutely conscious of "the pore and needy ones 'at clusters all about'" the American landscape. Heywood HALE Broun It was Woody's father (Heywood Hale prefers the nickname) who immortalized Babe Ruth and was fired by his newspaper for his ringing defense of the tormented Sacco and Vanzetti, the shoe-trimmer and fish peddler executed in a haunting miscarriage of justice of the 1920s. To have such a father is a blessing and curse. The sire haunts him like the ghost of Hamlet's father. He knows that he will never wear the crown worn with loveable carelessness by his father. Thus, in the CBS coverage of the Preakness, Broun nasally intones that only one of the horses is weighted with the heavy burden of having to do what his father did. He alternately rejects his father and then speaks lovingly of him. Bud Lamoreaux, the savagely knowledgeable CBS News sports producer, recalled that Broun is really the third member of the family to bear the name "Heywood Broun." The CBS Broun stuck in the name === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 24 of 52 Hale (his mother was a Hale) in a desperate effort to find his own identity. As Lamoreaux explained: "Nothing pleases him more than to find someone who has never heard of his father but has seen Woody on TV. The person will say: 'Ah, Mr. Hale Broun. I enjoy your stuff on CBS.' Woody's eyes light up like candles with the sheer joy of it." TOGETHER, Lamoreaux and Broun have raised sports reportage to a level that closely parallels art. Broun will likely describe a distance runner as a "vaunt-courier jogging with loose-limbed exhaltation through the shadowed arches of the stadium." Broun was for years supporting actor, trying to establish himself in a role alien to his father. He was orphaned, in effect, by his famous parents who were unable to give their offspring the attention of homebodies in more normal circumstances. Only Broun's friends recall the lonely hours he spent in hotels like the Algonquin in New York. These experiences gave him the expression which passes his face occasionally like a small dark cloud before the sun. It is found in his eyes, the tender-sad, glazed eyes of a wounded animal. Broun is making every effort to escape identification with his father. Notice how the moustache disguises the resemblance; and if his father was "an unmade bed" Broun is dapperly rakish, given to loud sportcoats. He is, nevertheless, primarily a sports writer and stylist, as his dad was. He writes with an intense scribble on backs of envelopes while hurrying by car to a filming assignment, pausing to enter a conversation with his own observation about an irreverent and bawdy sultan of the Sahara who tatooed the loins of his mistress in Sanscrit. We were watching the Stanley Cup Hockey series in Broun's motel room. He sat carelessly in a chair, stockinged feet on bed, sucking a corncob pipe. "Yes," he said, "the Algonquin set was powerful as you suggest. I remember Woolcott and Taylor and Parker had been to a play with Marc Connelly .......... Look at Esposito, the goalie, he gets down. That's his only flaw, he lurks too much." HE DRANK BOURBON from a silver flask emblazoned with a black camel and palm tree--something out of the Twenties, perhaps found in an antique shop. There is a simple humanity that attends this longing for the finer things. At the Owens apartment he insisted that the filming begin in the living room after Mrs. Owens had dotted drops to her baby's eyes. "I can go in the other room," she said. "No," he said, emphatically, "We will wait, Mrs. Owens, until you have finished." As Broun pointed to a foul on the ice, several seconds before it was acknowledged by an official, he was asked about the best advice he ever got. "It came from my father," he said. "He had once given me $10 and asked what I did with the money. I gave him an itemized accounting, something he did not seek. "Philosophic advice is no good, no man can tell another how to find love or happiness," he continued. "My father told me that money had no existence of its own. It is, he said, to spend. Oh, put a little aside but spend the rest." He kicked his feet to the rumpled bed again and coined more phrases with his own peculiar dramatic purchase. === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 25 of 52 (Posted AM 29 Jul '70 RPS) July 29, 1970 Dr. Sprinkle Editor, Virginian-Pilot Editor, Ledger-Star Gentlemen: At present there is a very dangerous situation from New York to Atlanta...poisonous air, atmospheric inversion.

Owens === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 26 of 52 WASHINGTON (AP) - America never had such a birthday party before. Superstars gave their talent. Common people and great people gave their prayers, songs, and cheers. Dissenters, claiming their heritage, clamored on the fringe, but the theme of unity clung through thunder, rain, tear gas, and a hail of stones. Bob Hope cracked jokes, keeping his pledge to keep Honor America Day off politics and on fun and country. Billy Graham preached the old-time religion and old-time ideals. President Nixon sent his greeting in the same mood. What America's founding fathers did 194 years ago when they declared this country independent, the President said, "is the greatest political achievement in the history of man and we are the beneficiaries of that achievement." Most of the mixed crowd at the nighttime gala cheered Hope and a host of other entertainers. A few threw pop bottles and litter, but no real harm was done. Scattered skirmishes between police and young war protesters throughout the afternoon failed to scare away a crowd for the Hope show estimated by various police sources from 250,000 to 400,000 on the Monument grounds, the largest rally ever held here, last fall's protest against the war. Tinges of tear gas still hung in the air, but the dissenters who continued to harass the festivities, though largely ignored, never numbered more than 100. "Let us all look back today so that we will be reminded of what great sacrifices have been made to make this the land of the free," Nixon said in a transcribed message sent from the Western White House at San Clemente, Calif. "Then let us turn once more to the future," Nixon added, "inspired by what this day means to us and to all of us that love freedom throughout the world." Hope cracked jokes about Vice President Spiro T. Agnew's golf and tennis but did not mention his politics. The closest thing to current politics was Jeannie C. Riley's singing of "When you're running down our country, you're talking on the fightin' side of me." She drew more cheers than boos. All in all, Honor America Day had been what its sponsors had hoped for - a return to an old-fashioned Fourth of July celebration. There was oratory of the old style, brass band music, fireworks, saluting cannon. And the enthusiasm of the new generation, including nude wading in the fountains. Graham preached to 35,000 at a morning rally and asked Americans to fulfill the dreams of their forefathers. "Their goal must be our goal and we must pursue it," Graham proclaimed. "Their vision (See America, Page A6) Flags and flag wavers get together at Lincoln Memorial. (AP) # Lightning Hits Gasoline Tank ## Norfolk Plant Imperiled, Homes Left, Ship Moved By ETHEL STEADMAN Virginian-Pilot Staff Writer NORFOLK - Lightning struck a huge gasoline storage tank at the Humble Oil & Refining Co.'s district plant on Hampton Boulevard Saturday, setting off a spectacular fire which threatened to spread to several adjacent tanks. The Coast Guard, Navy, and Civil Defense personnel aided Norfolk fire fighters in combatting the blaze, which raged unchecked for hours. Three hours after the tank blazed up, flames appeared to be a series of severe lightning flashes. Service station employees and a nearby trailer court fled their homes as giant fireballs rolled up and out of the tank. A commercial tanker moored only 300 yards from the tank also was imperiled until crewmen moved it out into the channel. The fire started around 7:30 p.m. almost simultaneously with a series of severe lightning flashes. A service station employee near the scene said. The man, who asked not to be identified, said he heard a noise similar to that produced when a transformer is hit by lightning. "There was a big explosion and it shook the ground," the man said. Moments later, he looked out and saw smoke boiling from one of the Humble tanks, the man added. By 11 p.m., the Coast Guard reported that there was a need for additional powdered foam by fire fighters. The foam, employed to smother blazes of this sort, was to be trucked to Norfolk from Elizabeth City, N.C., at last report, a Coast Guard spokesman said. Heavy rainfall drenched the area during the fire's height, but it appeared only to dampen the enthusiasm of spectators and not to douse the flames. As word of the fire spread, people lined up along Hampton Boulevard to watch the show. With the periodic downpours of rain, the sightseers straggled away. Winds whipped the flames sideways from time to time, forcing firemen to turn hoses on one another to keep their clothing from igniting. The Navy had at least two fireboats on the scene. The Coast Guard sent the cutters Mohegan, Point Brown, and Cherokee. No South Hampton Roads city owns a fireboat. By midnight, efforts were being directed at cooling down the adjacent storage tanks, each of which holds 30,000 barrels of high-octane fuel. The storage tank hit Saturday was of the floating-top type and was one of four nestled together inside a low dike to prevent gasoline spillage. In all, there are eight to 10 tanks in the immediate vicinity, by one estimate. The fireboats proved of little use in fighting the tank fire, as they were unable to get close enough to be effective, a fire spokesman said. They stood by in case the flames spread. Shortly after midnight, the Coast Guard reported that its Elizabeth City base was unable to supply powdered foam. Additional supplies of the foam were being borrowed from the Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base, the Naval Station, and the Newport News Fire Department, the Coast Guard said. Norfolk sent nine engines, two (See Bolt, Page A14) Virginian-Pilot Photo by Charles Meads Flames surge from the lightning-struck storage tank. # 5 Killed in Rioting # Belfast Guns, Bombs Seized BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) - British troops seized piles of hidden guns, bombs, and ammunition Saturday in the aftermath of rioting that killed five civilians. Military personnel took over the guard at two special courts trying 120 persons on riot charges. The latest disturbances came after the army seized an arms cache and a stone-and-bottle-throwing brawl erupted. Streets were littered with debris and deserted in the riot-scarred Falls Road quarter - a Roman Catholic enclave - as the army ordered a full emergency curfew and began house-to-house searches for the weapons used in rioting Friday night and early Saturday. The night of fighting, with fire bombs, grenades, and gunfire exploding in the streets, raised Northern Ireland's death toll from rioting to 12 in the last two weekends. Two of Friday night's victims were snipers killed by army sharpshooters and another was crushed by an armored car. At least another 80 persons were injured - 19 of them soldiers - and about 300 were arrested. To prevent further bloodshed, the government banned all processions throughout the province for three days, thus canceling Protestant Orange parades set for today outside Belfast. This new outburst in the ancient feud between Catholics and Protestants began after the imprisonment June 26 of Bernadette Devlin, the Catholic civil rights leader and member of Britain's Parliament. She was sentenced to a six-month term in connection with disorders in Londonderry last August. Troops barricaded roads into the town of Armagh and searched cars for arms. In the Catholic Falls Road district of Belfast where the rioting centered, troops ordered 1,500 residents out of their homes to nearby schools while the houses were searched. They turned up 45 pistols, 38 rifles, two submachine guns, 13 shotguns, 15,000 rounds of ammunition, 100 fire bombs, and 45 pounds of explosives. From inside the sealed-off district, nationalist member of Parliament Paddy Devlin declared that the area's Catholics now wanted the troops to stay to protect them against Protestants, who would be "infuriated" at the disclosure of arms caches. Devlin said the weapons had been brought into the district to protect it from Protestant attacks. **Today's Chuckle** Discretion is closing your mouth before somebody else does it for you. # In Today's Pilot **Inside Virginia Politics, Page A12** | | | | | |---|---|---|---| | Amusements | F4-5 | Gardening | G15 | | Ann Landers | G4 | Gov't Worker | B13 | | Books | C6 | Obituaries | B2 | | Bridge | H3 | Sports | E1-11 | | Business | E12-14 | Travel | B14 | | Classified | D1-14 | TV-Radio | F2-3 | | Crossword | F6 | Weather | A2 | | Dr. Thosteson | H3 | Wishing Well | H3 | | Editorials | C4 | Women | G1-16 | **Comics** **Parade** === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 27 of 52 Dr Sprinkle Postmark AM 23 Jul 70 RLS July 22, 1970 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: On June 16, 1970 (while the Norfolk area was in the midst of a months-long drought) Ted Owens handed me a written prediction...that he would bring about a large rainstorm within a week's time (to save the crops in this area, which were in danger of dying from drought); that he would bring a steady stream of rainstorms into this area, to keep it raining all summer; that he would try to bring a hurricane near enough to this area to cause heavy rainfall in this area; and that he would cause lightning attacks in this area, to prove that it was he causing all this. Since June 16, 1970...these things above have occurred; the first heavy rainstorm came within five days after Ted Owens handed me the written prediction, and there have been rainstorms once or twice a week since that time. The newspapers told that the crops have been saved. Hurricane Becky just came into life...and this week the Norfolk area is getting rain from the hurricane, days of it. There have been several tremendous lightning storms in the area...and on two different occasions huge oil tanks were struck by lightning, and blew up in flames. And there was one other thing: Ted Owens handed me a written prediction that he would put over this area an "other-dimensional grid" which would have the function of causing weird, unusual electromagnetic effects in the Norfolk area. Shortly after he gave me this written prediction, a "strange object in the sky" was reported by all of the local TV stations...which told of hundreds of people calling the police and fire department that they had seen a huge, multicolored "halo" up over the city in the night sky. I certify that the above is a true and accurate statement of fact. N. Dyer Mrs. N. Dyer Court Reporter Norfolk, Virginia === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 28 of 52 July 23, 1970..........TO ALL CONTACTS ---------- Multiple Miracle! I have, for the first time, actually brought about a multiple miracle... and needless to say, am tremendously excited about it. It is soundly documented...completely wrapped up. I had a court reporter/notary public keep my letter-predictions in exact chronological order, before each happening. I have also a dozen other responsible people who can testify to it all. Now, here is what happened: On June 16, 1970, an article appeared in the Ledger-Star newspaper in Norfolk that this area was in a terrible drought...flowers and shrubs were dying, and the crops were in danger of disaster! I immediately that date, sat down and sent letters to the editors of both newspapers, Mr. Maddry, columnist, Mrs. Dyer, court reporter, and others...that I would do the following: (1) Try to make it rain here substantially within one week from June 16. (2) Give the area a drenching, soaking and pouring down...more and more rain...not just one rainstorm, etc. (3) The rainstorms would be marked with my own personal trademark... heavy lightning attacks. (4) I'd try to bring up a hurricane from lower Florida to this Norfolk area, or near this area...and draw more rain from it to here. (5) I'd erect a grid, other-dimensional, over this area...and produce weird electromagnetic effects in Norfolk/Virginia Beach area. (This in ltr. a few days later; am just lumping them for you.) (1) Norfolk then had a crash-bang, knockdowndragout storm five days after my letter on June 16...the 21st. It was marked by a tremendous lightning display. (2) For the next five weeks...there was a rainstorm at least once a week, sometimes twice or more a week, and it hasn't stopped raining yet! (3) Lightning in these storms during these five weeks, on two separate occasions, struck oil tanks and blew them up...knocked out power and communications, and generally raised cain. (4) Yesterday Hurricane Becky threw its outer fringes of rainstorms up at the Norfolk area...and for several days, the TV weathermen say, we'll have rain from Becky here. (5) On June 29 in the evening all the TV stations began buzzing with excitement..."strange object in the sky" as announcers put it. Hundreds of people calling in to the police etc. A multi-colored "halo" had appeared over Norfolk. Next day in the paper was this heading: "Halo In Sky Puzzles Even Weather Bureau." It went on to explain...that there simply was no explanation from anybody, any official source, at all. They tried to fit it into any understandable explanation, but could not. It was simply a UFO. About a week later TV sets in the area went haywire and the words were put across the picture-screen: "This is not your set. It is due to atmospheric interference." This occurred several days in a row. So there you have it...Oh, and I almost forgot, the papers announced that the crops were saved...but, just think, the mind boggles...five simultaneous "miracles". Would be enough just to call the hurricane bringing up the rain, right? Then add to that I made lightning strike...add to that I made it crash-bang storm within a week, and weeks thereafter... add to that I created a weird EM effect over Norfolk...and the crops were saved...you see? I'll tell you now...I've accomplished some impossible things before...but this multiple miracle...tops them all, so far. Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3141 CHS, Norfolk, Va.

(UPI)-- Thousands of tourists fled inland Tuesday ahead of Hurricane Becky, aiming 75-mile-per-hour winds for a strike this morning at the "Miracle Strip" beaches of the Florida panhandle. Several thousand persons were evacuated from Santa Rosa Island, parts of Destin, and other low-lying areas Tuesday night. Advance gales and heavy rains began lashing the Gulf Coast. Hurricane shelters were set up in Panama City, Fort Walton Beach, Destin, and other cities and towns along the 100-mile stretch of Gulf Coast threatened by Becky. Panama City Beach, an 18-mile stretch of white sand and tourist motels, was in the center of the area Becky was expected to strike around 9 a.m. today. "We've got about 50,000 tourists along the miracle strip now," a Chamber of Commerce spokesman said early Tuesday, "but most of them are bailing out for higher ground." There was a steady stream of traffic on U.S. 98--the main road through this beach area that draws thousands of summer tourists from Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi--but the Highway Patrol reported no serious traffic tieups. "People are buying bread, crackers, canned goods, flashlights and milk like crazy," said Zack Bronson, manager of a food store in Destin. At 10 p.m., Becky was centered about 160 miles south-southwest of Pensacola near latitude 28.0 north and longitude 86.6 west. It was expected to resume its northward movement about 8 to 10 m.p.h. Panhandle residents were told to expect 6 foot tides and up to 8 inches of rain that could cause local flooding of roads, streams, creeks and bayous.

The writer, Otto O. Binder, finds Owens more fascinating than Jeane Dixon in his ability to predict the future. # The Seer Who Sees Via His SIs We have written about Owens before. A Norfolk woman reported that he had predicted lightning would strike the Apollo 12 spacecraft. It did. During our last interview with this uncanny man, he predicted a power failure. We left his home, turned the ignition switch in the car, and found that the battery was dead. Coincidence? Owens a disarmingly intelligent fellow with the face of a small-town hardware dealer, claims that his ability to predict events and create storms is special knowledge funneled into his head from space people. He calls them SIs, short for space intelligences. What concerned us was the weather. About a month ago Owens began writing us predicting a lot of storms for the Norfolk-Virginia Beach area. We've been getting a few. So we drove out to discuss this with him. He was seated at a kitchen table in his walkup apartment, pulling on a cigar. "You remember that I predicted storms for this area," he said. "Well, it's happening. The SIs are at work. They've placed a kind of weather grid over this area." He tossed clippings from The Virginian-Pilot and the Ledger-Star in my direction. One concerned the lightning bolt that destroyed a Humble Oil tank in Norfolk a couple of weeks ago. Other clippings concerned the loss of revenue at the Boardwalk Art Show because of rain. There was one from the Pilot, dated June 22, 1970, with a banner headline: "Tidewater Storm Hits Buildings and Boats." We asked Owens how the SIs were bringing all this about. "They construct a weather grid inside my head. It's very difficult to describe," he noted. He was sketching now with a pencil, drawing the Atlantic coastline with little marks like weather bars pocking its surface in the Virginia Beach area. "The parts shift back and forth in the grid like in an automobile motor; they shift and slide," he confided. To put this weather pattern into motion, Owens said, the SIs have given him a special gift. "They have now given me special words to say to implement the weather." What are the words? His eyes rolled upward, horrified. "Oh, I can't repeat them. They wouldn't want me to do that," he said. He tossed over a copy of a letter written to the editor of the Ledger-Star. "Tell the girls to put up their bikinis and get out their umbrellas. Ha. Ha.," the letter warned. AND THERE WERE CLIPPINGS from The Miami Herald and a Philadelphia paper reporting unusual rain accompanying Owens' arrival in town. In The Herald, Owens was standing by the shoreline with arms upraised like a latter day swami, beckoning rain. Let us assume Mr. Owens, that the SIs are bringing our rain. What will it make it stop? "They want to make themselves real to us. They want documentation of what they are doing to this area with the weather." He paused. "You actually owe it to the local Chamber of Commerce to write about this," he added. In his files there is a letter written by a Philadelphia attorney who claims that Owens was challenged to make lightning strike a specified place--the bridge to Camden--and that lightning struck the bridge. We have no quarrel to make with a man bearing such credentials. Maybe it's the SIs who need their heads examined by a psychiatrist. === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 32 of 52 Gasoline Tank Fire Controlled 7/6/70 NORFOLK -- A lightning-set fire that consumed nearly 20,000 barrels of gasoline and melted the metal walls of a storage tank off north Hampton Boulevard was reported under control Sunday evening by the Fire Department. Firemen were still at the scene at midnight. The intense blaze started about 7:30 p.m. Saturday during a thunderstorm in which a lightning bolt struck the 48-foot-high tank at the district plant of the Humble Oil & Refining Co. Only moments before the fire started, the Humble tanker Esso San Francisco at the plant piers had suspended unloading operations because of the storm danger. Several persons on the pier saw the tank hit by the lightning. The ship was then moved from the pier. Firemen battled the blaze throughout the night and into Sunday evening in an effort to keep it from igniting other gasoline storage tanks nearby. The flames lit the sky by night and trailed a thick fog of black smoke in a southwesterly direction Sunday afternoon. Residents of a nearby trailer court left their homes Saturday night as huge fireballs leaped from the blazing tank. Spectators lined Hampton Boulevard, even in intermittent July 4 rain, to watch the brilliant flames. The spectators were still there Sunday although the intensity of the fire had abated somewhat. No firemen were reported injured during the blaze. Murray A. Roberts, regional operations (See Fire, Page A4) The tank blazes in a melted ruin amid other tanks filled with gasoline. Photo by Ben Pulliam === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 33 of 52 # Fire Under Control From Page 1 manager for Humble, said that the damage caused by the blaze would have to be estimated by professional assessors. The 55,000 barrel tank (42 gallons to a barrel) contained "just under 20,000 barrels" of Esso Plus gasoline Roberts said. The tank wall melted down to 18 feet from its original 48 feet. Firemen tried throughout the night to smother the blaze with foam, but without success. "The tremendous updraft from the heat carried the light foam up in the air," said Norfolk Fire Chief Lawrence B. Wilson. "About 8 a.m. we stopped the foaming effort because it just wasn't doing any good. Then we concentrated just on keeping the other exposures (tanks) cool." Wilson said fire fighters got a favorable break in controlling the blaze about 10 a.m. Sunday when the wind died down and shifted to the northeast, blowing the heat and flames away from the other storage tanks. During the darkness hours of Saturday night and Sunday morning the wind sometimes whipped the intense heat and flames sideways so that firemen had to douse one another's clothes and their equipment with water to keep them from igniting. Norfolk sent nine engine companies, two ladder trucks, and one salvage unit to the scene and kept 150 firemen working at the blaze in five and six-hour shifts. The Navy sent two crash trucks from the Norfolk Naval Air Station, a pumping engine from the Naval Station, two fire boats and a tug. The fireboats were later withdrawn. The Coast Guard sent the cutters Mochican, Point Brown, and Cherokee, but later reduced the standby to just the Cherokee. Civil Defense volunteers also aided the fight. Red Cross volunteers and women's auxiliary of the Fire Department served food to the fire fighters. Chesapeake and Virginia Beach fire departments and the Norfolk Naval Station Fire Department sent units to stand duty in Norfolk stations left unmanned because of the fire. === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 34 of 52 # Tides Rained Out 7/6/70 NORFOLK--Rain has claimed another Sunday on the Tide home schedule, the third in the last four as a matter of fact. The game with Rochester at Metropolitan Park was called before noon by Dave Rosenfield, the Tide general manager. "It rained last night and all morning. Even with the infield covered there was no way," Rosenfield said with more than a trace of sorrow. "We've had six Sundays at home and only one really good day, when our Kid's Day promotion drew 3,063. Two others were played in bad weather and three we have lost. We've drawn 82,000 people, almost 50,000 ahead of last year's pace, but with those three Sundays we'd be close to 90,000." The game, the last of a set of three with the Red Wings, will be made up as part of a doubleheader when Rochester returns Aug. 17-20. The Tides have a makeup doubleheader with Syracuse set Tuesday night and another in August with Louisville. On the road games must be made up at Rochester (Friday as part of a twinighter) and Winnipeg. Jesse Hudson (5-2), who was to have pitched Sunday, will now work Tuesday in the doubleheader with the league-leading Chiefs. Bill Denehy (3-1) probably will work the other game because Jon (See Sundays, Page B9) # is Battle; Bucs Win words and within moments, both dugouts emptied. No ejections were made and play was resumed after a few minutes. Hebner's third home run of the season, following a leadoff single by Matty Alou, was the 11th for the Pirates in the four-game series and 12th of the month, one more than they had in all of June. The Pirates, who've won 10 of the last 13, added an unearned run in the first on an error by Ron Santo and Gene Alley's run-scoring single and picked up two more in the fifth on singles by Alou and Roberto Clemente. | PITTSBURGH | | | | | CHICAGO | | | | | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | | ab | r | h | bi | | ab | r | h | bi | | MAlou cf | 5 | 2 | 3 | 0 | Kessinger ss | 4 | 1 | 2 | 0 | | Hebner 3b | 5 | 1 | 1 | 2 | Popovich 2b | 4 | 0 | 2 | 2 | | Clemente rf | 4 | 1 | 1 | 0 | BWilliams lf | 4 | 0 | 2 | 0 | | AOliver 1b | 3 | 0 | 0 | 1 | Hickman cf | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | Stargell lf | 3 | 1 | 1 | 0 | WSmith 1b | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | Jeter lf | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Santo 3b | 4 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | Sanguilln c | 4 | 0 | 2 | 1 | Callison rf | 4 | 0 | 2 | 0 | | Alley ss | 4 | 0 | 1 | 1 | Hiatt c | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | Mazroski 2b | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | CJames pr | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | | Ellis p | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Rudolph c | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | | | | | | Jenkins p | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | | | | | | Spangler ph | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | | | | | | Colborn p | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | | | | | | Martin ph | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | Total | 36 | 5 | 9 | 5 | Total | 35 | 2 | 10 | 2 | Pittsburgh .......... 3 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 -- 5 Chicago .......... 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 -- 2 E--Santo 3.

Gentlemen: I have just concluded putting on an absolutely air-tight demonstration, proof-wise, of my ability to communicate with UFO entities and bring about an effect. It could not conceivably be labeled a "coincidence" or anything else. As I say, it is as air-tight as a genuine scientific experiment could be, were it one, which of course it is not, since I am a layman. What would your reaction be...if you were the Editor of a very large newspaper...there was a local drought...crops were in danger of dying... and a man wrote in and said that he would deliberately make a storm for the area, within a week's time...and as proof that it was caused by him, the storm would be marked by a savage lightning attack? Then it follows...that in 5 days, on the 5th day thereafter...a devastating storm strikes this area, specified....it is marked by an absolutely savage lightning attack, lighting striking houses, striking powerlines and knocking out power in 10,000 homes...lightning striking a huge oil building and sending up a "fireball" when it explodes. And...the corn crop which was in great danger, is now "saved" according to the newspapers from the 4 inch rainfall ensuing from the storm. I'll tell you what the Editor's reaction was, here in Norfolk/Virginia Beach. Absolutely nothing. Not a word of it to the public. That is how completely my "miracles" are kept a secret. Following is a copy of my letter to the Editor of the Ledger-Star (4565 Virginia Beach Blvd., Virginia Beach, Virginia, Phone 625-1431) before, 5 days before, the storm struck: Dear Sir: Maddry and Bonko have both mentioned me previously in their columns. Tonight I read in your paper that this area is in a serious drought condition...that within two weeks the corn crop can be a disaster, as well as other crops, etc. Not much rain in months. All right. I was quite successful in Phila. in causing it to rain...and Maddry saw the articles in the papers on it. I notified the papers by letters, like this one...and then brought the rain in...and this during the 6-year drought then on at that time. I'm going to do this: (1) Try to make it rain her substantially within one week from now. (2) Try to keep it raining here in the Norfolk/ Virginia Beach area all the summer long. (3) Try to give this area such a drenching, soaking and pouring-down as to be almost beyond belief... the wettest summer on record here...more rain...etc. (4) It will be marked (the storms, that is) with my own personal trademark...heavy lightning attacks. (5) I will try to bring up a hurricane from lower Florida to this area, or near this area...and draw more rain from it to here. Am not writing you this letter...to get any publicity...but to let you know, when it happens, what caused it. Maddry was skeptical of my work, I'm afraid, and would like to give him a sort of demonstration." Am enclosing the newsclips showing the terrific scope of the storm, as well as the documention of confirmation from the court reporter, Mrs. Dyer, here in Rm. 401, Plaza One Bldg., Norfolk, Va., phone 625-5848. A cleaner, more powerful demonstration of my link with the Si's...you couldn't find. Ted Owens, (PK Man) === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 36 of 52 June 22, 1970, Monday TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Last Tuesday, June 16, 1970, Mr. Ted Owens, known as "PK Man", gave me in writing a prediction that he would bring about, within one week's time, a substantial rainstorm. Furthermore, he additionally promised that the rainstorm would be marked by spectacular lightning display... which he terms his "trademark." The foundation for all of this...was an article which appeared in the Ledger-Star newspaper of Norfolk to the effect that there had been no rainfall for two months and that unless rainfall occurred...there would be a disaster for the crops in this area. Mr. Owens decided, he said, to save the crops for the farmers here. Yesterday, Sunday, June 21, 1970, there was a devastating storm in this Norfolk area...more than a half-inch of rain fell...winds of over 65 miles per hour...boats were grounded...roofs were blown off of buildings...cars were blown off roads...and lightning struck everywhere at houses, power lines, etc. Lightning in fact knocked out the power in various portions of Norfolk. Lightning also struck a huge oil tank and the resulting explosion sent up a "fireball". Therefore I do confirm herein that Mr. Owens' prediction last week was entirely accurate, and has come to pass within the one-week time limit that he imposed. I certify this to be a true and accurate statement of fact. NIKI DYER, Court Reporter Plaza One Building Norfolk, Virginia. # Rain Saves Tri-County Corn Crop 6/23/70 SUFFOLK -- Farm authorities said Monday that while Sunday's rain played favorites in the Tri-County area, it played an important part in saving the year's corn crop. Rainfall ranged from 1.5 inches in Isle of Wight County, to .4 inches in Holland, and to a low of .18 inches in Suffolk. Robert Goerger, assistant agricultural agent in Isle of Wight County, said the rain did "a lot of good. It saved the corn crop, for it was about gone." While Sunday's rain was a good start, Goerger added, "we'll need more to keep the corn going. We could use a couple more inches of a gentle rain." Weather recorders at the Tidewater Research Station in Holland said the 4-inch rainfall helped Nansemond County crops a little "but not a great deal." === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 37 of 52 LEDGER-STAR Monday afternoon, June 22, 1970 section B Lines, crane downed # Area cleaning up after 'quickie' squall By RICHARD C. BAYER Tidewater cleaned up today after a hit-and-run squall Sunday that swept across the area, disrupting power, playing havoc on the waterways and damaging waterfront property. The biggest cleanup operation was at the Portsmouth Marine Terminal where wind that gusted up to 58 miles per hour blew the boom of a giant cargo crane across a container ship. John T. Nix, executive director of the Portsmouth Port and Industrial Commission, said the boom fell on The Baltimore, owned by Sealand Lines, about 1:30 p.m. Sunday at the peak of the storm. Nix said, while waiting for the boom to be raised early today, that there were no injuries. Damage to the boom, he said, appeared extensive, but the ship, he added, did not appear to be badly damaged. The Weather Bureau had ample warning that a squall line was moving rapidly in from the west accompanied by wild thunderstorms. It mounted a severe thunderstorm watch at 8:55 a.m. Sunday and shortly thereafter began issuing small craft warnings. Despite these warnings, there were many small boats in Hampton Roads and on Chesapeake Bay when the storm rolled in about 1 p.m. The Weather Bureau at Norfolk Regional Airport said the temperature dropped from 95 to 73 in about an hour while heavy winds buffeted the area. The peak of the storm, the bureau said, was about 1:38 p.m., but scattered thunderstorms were reported in the area as late as 3:43 p.m. The Coast Guard received dozens of calls and had virtually every piece of rescue equipment in action. There was one possible death. A man identified by the Coast Guard as Leon Hodge, 35, of Hampton was reportedly washed off a sailboat in the bay four miles north of the Thimble Shoals light. The Coast Guard said a 40-foot boat, aircraft and the cutter Point Huron searched for Hodge several hours before suspending the search after nightfall. About 1:30 p.m. Sunday one of the Coast Guard's own, the cutter Sebago, went aground on Willoughby Shoals about three quarters of a mile southwest of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel. A Coast Guard spokesman in Portsmouth said a hawser became entangled in the cutter's propeller and divers were sent over the side before Navy tugs pulled the cutter free at high tide. The Virginia Power and Electric Co. said some 10,000 Tidewater homes were without power for varying periods of time because of the storm. A power company spokesman said crews were still out today restoring service to a few homes in outlying areas. Trouble calls began pouring in at 1:30 p.m. Sunday and most service was restored by 11 p.m., the VEPCO spokesman said. The heavy wind peeled part of the roofing from atop the Quality Courts Motel, which sits at the end of Willoughby Spit between Willoughby Bay and Chesapeake Bay. Mrs. Mary Griffith, a desk clerk at the motel, said: "I told my husband it looked like a tornado. There was so much noise because of the wind. You couldn't believe it." John C. McCaw, the motel's manager, was surveying the damage today. He said water came through the roof and damaged about 60 rooms on two levels. The motel has 120 rooms. Firemen were able to extinguish a gasoline storage tank fire caused by lightning in Chesapeake. No one was injured in the fire, which burned for more than an hour. The storm also blew out 145 feet of freshly erected cinder block in the north walls of the new Rena B. Wright school in Chesapeake. The wall was 12 feet high and was ready to receive steel joists. === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 38 of 52 JUMBLE Unscramble these four Jumbles, one letter to each square, to form four ordinary words. DYPUC LUSKK # Storm Knocks Out Electricity to Some **From Page 1** of Virginia Beach, rescued two men who were floating on life cushions after their 19-foot outboard overturned near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Billy T. Cooper, a passenger on Loziato's boat, estimated the seas at 10 to 15 feet and winds at 60 to 65 m.p.h. They rode out the storm, which lasted nearly an hour, northeast of the Bridge-Tunnel's fourth island. The Coast Guard cutters reported making numerous rescues, including a father and son in Chesapeake Bay. Hardest hit by the storm was the Quality Courts Motel in the 1500 block of West Ocean View Avenue. The winds knocked half the roof off the 120-room motel. John C. McCaw, motel manager, estimated the damage to the roof and furniture in the rooms at about $100,000. Although about 30 of the rooms were occupied, he said, no one was injured. He said the motel will remain open while repairs are made to the roof. The Weather Bureau said the storm was caused by a squall line ahead of a low-pressure area moving west to east. The high winds were not unexpected as a severe thunderstorm watch had been in affect from 8:55 a.m. and a tornado watch from 1:15 p.m. Both were lifted at 6 p.m. Wing gusts up to 80 m.p.h. whipped Blackstone in eastern Virginia and small hail was reported near Raleigh-Durham, N.C. The tornado watch was issued for portions of the Carolinas as well as southeast Virginia. Scattered damage was caused by the storm as the winds felled trees and knocked limbs across power lines. Power was lost for more than seven hours in scattered parts of Norfolk, said J. T. Mason, Virginia Electric Power Co.'s district superintendent. He said that more than 10,000 homes in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, and Chesapeake were without power during the storm. The storm also damaged power lines throughout Suffolk and the Tri-County Area, leaving hundreds of homes without electricity for several hours. Vepco crews were kept busy until late Sunday night clearing limbs from high-voltage lines and repairing downed lines. In Virginia Beach, the most serious problem was a massive traffic jam on Shore Drive at Pleasure House Road and at Northampton Boulevard created by a power failure in the Bayside area of the city. At one time, westbound traffic on Shore drive was backed up, bumper to bumper in two lanes, for more than three miles from the intersection at Pleasure House Road. Thousands of people on the beach at Sandbridge, south to the North Carolina state line, were warned of the storm by city police to clear the beaches. Lt. Carl Weast of the 1st Precinct said some paid no attention to the warnings and "wished they had," but no problems were reported. A report that two people were aboard an airfloat being blown to sea off the beach at 53rd Street was apparently false, a spokesman for the Fire Department said. The search was called off about 30 minutes after it began. During the peak of the storm, many small boats sought safety inside the Lynnhaven and Rudee inlets, and one sailboat that overturned was finally brought ashore at Chesapeake Beach without injury to its occupants, police said. In the South Norfolk section of Chesapeake, a wall of the new Rena B. Wright Elementary School collapsed. Officials at the school, under construction at Park Avenue and Perry Street, were unable to estimate damage or say how much delay can be expected in completion of the building. State Trooper E. H. Davis Jr. said an automobile on U.S. 58-460 seven miles east of Suffolk was blown off the highway and hit a tree. The victims were identified as Mrs. Phyllis Crumble, of the 100 block of Ackiss Avenue, Virginia Beach, and her two sons, James, 5, and Darrell, 4. Mrs. Crumble and James were treated and released and Darrell was admitted to Maryview Hospital for a possible head injury. A home on U.S. 460 north of Suffolk was heavily damaged with it was apparently struck by lightning, firemen said. === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 39 of 52 Virginian-Pilot Photos by Dick Bushnell and Bill Randolph # Wind Victims Children inspect what would have been a wall of the new Rena B.

Witnesses said flames roared skyward in a fireball visible for miles about 2:25 a.m. when lightning struck a 30,000-barrel Texaco tank near Bank and Mauden streets, South Hill. Acting Fire Chief D. S. Keay said the flames died suddenly about 3:30 a.m. while two huge streams of water cooled the tank. Two Navy foam trucks arrived as the flames died. No one was hurt by the blaze. Fire fighters admitted they were concerned, especially after reports of fatalities in an oil fire in a Franklin, Pa., storage area Friday and Saturday. The lightning and fire ruptured the tank top. Fire fighters said the tank was about half full and no flaming liquid reached the ground. Two deluge water guns, one atop an aerial ladder, continued to pour water on the tank until about 6 a.m. when Texaco officials said the tank's internal temperature was back to a normal 73 degrees. Many residents reported seeing the fireball erupt during the lightning-punctuated storm. Scott Sherman, occupant of a home less than 100 yards from the tank, said he saw the lightning hit. Photo by Clinton Hirdlinger Flames erupt from burning storage tank. "I saw so much light," he said, "and I thought the house was on fire." Sherman said a three-pronged bolt hit, and fire erupted from the top rear of the tank. Sherman said he and his wife ran from the house into the rain. Moments earlier he had closed windows as the rain began. Acting Battalion Chief James Doughtie said the strategy used to fight the fire involved handheld lines to cool the fire as soon as the first four pumpers arrived. Four 2 1/2-inch lines were attached to an unmanned deluge gun and fire fighters retreated to a safer distance to await foam units from Norfolk Naval Base and Air Station. A Norfolk aerial ladder, called when Chesapeake's ladder failed to operate, projected a second large stream atop the tank from Bank Street. Elizabeth City, N.C., five cutters, and four utility boats searched the James River, Chesapeake Bay and Virginia Beach and North Carolina coasts. === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 40 of 52 Clearing High Today 85 Low Tonight 63 N, 10-20 m.p.h.

Virginian-Pilot Photos by Bill Randolph # Tidewater Storm Hits Buildings and Boats By DON HUNT Virginian-Pilot Staff Writer Winds gusting to 58 miles per hour in the midst of a severe thunderstorm Sunday afternoon quickly cooled off one of the hottest days of the year. The high winds apparently forced the Coast Guard cutter Sebago to go aground in Sewells Point Spit, knocked half the roof off an Ocean View motel in Norfolk, left more than 21,000 homes without electricity for several hours, and capsized numerous small boats. The 5th Coast Guard District headquarters in Portsmouth received more than 65 distress calls during the storm, and a Coast Guard spokesman said that one man apparently drowned. Leon Hodge, 35, believed to be from Hampton, was washed off the sailboat Totem II, near Buckroe Beach. He had not been found when a search was called off at dusk. A high of 95 was recorded at 1 p.m. The mercury dropped to 73 shortly after 2 p.m., during the peak of the storm. The Weather Bureau said about half an inch of rain fell during the storm. A Coast Guard spokesman said the Sebago, a Pensacola, Fla.-based cutter, went aground at 1:30 p.m. about three-fourths of a mile southwest of Ft. Wool. The 255-foot former gunboat was freed at high tide about 8:30 p.m. Three Navy tugboats were unable to free the cutter Sunday afternoon. The cutter, en route to Pensacola from Curtis Bay, Md., was headed to a Hampton Roads anchorage to load explosives, the spokesman said. Many pleasure boats, from small outboards to luxury sport fishermen, were caught in the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean by the blow. The Coast Guard reported picking up boaters throughout the area. Other rescues were reported by private boats. A Coast Guard airplane from Elizabeth City, N.C., five cutters, and four utility boats searched the James River, Chesapeake Bay and Virginia Beach and North Carolina coasts.

Through the past few years you've seen me write in advance...that I would cause this major power blackout, produce multiple hurricanes for the season, end the drought on the East Coast, end the killer-drought in India...and so on and on and on. Now, at long last, two top scientists have checked me out, my work out...and I have letters from them stating that they are willing to be one of my regular Contacts and observe this continuing "PK"/Si phenomena as it occurs. I deeply regret that they were not in on all the earlier miracles...but, better late than never, as the saying goes. They will now watch, objectively...not disbelieving, not believing...but being the top scientists that they are, in the U.S., constantly observing what the Si's are doing to prove their (Si) reality and their communication with me as their human observer. These two scientists are: Dr. Leo Sprinkle University of Wyoming Dr. J. Allen Hynek Northwestern University It is entirely possible...that with these two eminent gentlemen coming into this action as observers...that in the near time ahead...we may be communicating with the Si's face to face, somehow, somewhere. Which, of course, has been my goal all along. (2) On June 16, 1970, an article appeared in the Ledger-Star newspaper here...to the effect that this area is in a terrible drought. Naturally, seeing this, I contacted the Si's, and they gave the go-ahead. (Remember the chain of storms I made in Phila. and it was confirmed in the newspaper story there? As well as other places; Miami, Florida, more recently.) So I gave Mrs. Niki Dyer, a court-reporter in this office, a document stating (1) I would make it rain substantially here in this area within one week from 6/16; (2) I would keep it raining here in this area all the summer long; (3) I would give this area such a soaking as to be almost beyond belief; (4) It would all be marked, the storms, with my own personal trademark...heavy lightning attacks; (5) I will try to bring a hurricane up from lower Florida this season...to shed more rain on this area. Now: I also sent this notice to the Editor of the Ledger-Star. Since that time...this area has had two night-storms, and today a rocking-socking rainstorm accompanied by spectacular lightning! I want to quote you from that news article: "Let's see, the last time it rained was uhhh...June 6. But that was hardly worth remembering... only .28 inches. June 5 was worse. Only .01 inch fell - not enough to justify even one bar of "Singing in the Rain." The dry weather is having a serious effect on area crops lawns and shrubbery. If it (corn) receives no meaningful rainfall within two weeks, the corn crop will be a disaster."..... Well, Contacts, I've helped that situation already, within the week, as I specified in writing. Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134, CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 P.S. If you think it is easy to bring this about...consider that the various elements of weather combinations along the eastern seaboard and elsewhere must be put together like a jig-saw puzzle to bring about this desired effect! === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 42 of 52 June 13, 1970..........TO ALL CONTACTS Dr Sprinkle The Si's have just successfully completed another "miracle", which I have dutifully reported, for them and from them, to you. As you know, I sent you, some time ago, a message from the Si's...saying that they would give a world-wide demonstration of violent, savage weather phenomena...earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tornados, hurricanes and so on. This has come about in dramatic fashion...Worst avalanches in 30 years in Europe; worst floods in history in Roumania and Germany; worst tornado to ever hit Texas (clobbered Lubbock recently); worst earthquake in 20 years to strike Peru (last week); and the list goes on and on, long long list... since I sent you that letter. Now...also in that letter I told you that the Si's would appear and be reported in the newspapers...as their "signature" to the reality of the whole situation, of them, and their link with me. This morning this "signature" appeared in the newspaper here in Norfolk, The Virginian Pilot, as follows: "RA 2 CREW SIGHTS UFO IN ATLANTIC. Clearwater, Fla. (UPI)---A radio message Friday from explorer Thor Heyerdahl's papyrus boat Ra 2 said crewmen sighted an unidentified flying object (UFO) on their voyage across the Atlantic Ocean toward Mexico. The message, by shortwave radio from navigator Norman Baker, said the UFO moved across the horizon for several minutes and disappeared in "a bright orange flash." The North American Air Defense Command, headquartered at Colorado Springs, Colorado, doubted that the UFO could have been connected with any space shot. An officer at NORAD suggested, "It might have been a meteor." Baker said the sighting was made Thursday morning as the Ra 2 made good headway in a voyage that started last month from the Moroccan port of Safi. Heyerdahl is trying to prove that ancient Egyptians could have used papyrus boats to bring their culture to the Western Hemisphere centuries before Columbus landed. At last report, Ra 2 was 750 miles west of the African coast in the mid-Atlantic. One member of the crew, Ait Madani, spotted the UFO as he was at the helm of the Ra 2." I am very excited about this...it has been a beautiful, perfectly executed demonstration by the Si's, for you. Now I believe, I hope, they will stop the earthquakes and other savage destructive weather phenomena...I asked them to last week, when Peru was devastated. They produced the weather phenomena and "signed" the demonstration with this nationally-reported UPI newspaper write-up of their dramatic appearance to the Ra 2. Perhaps it is the end of the demonstration. I hope so. But...I don't know for sure, either. At any rate they've told you, as plainly as can be, that they are responsible for the world-wide floods, quakes, etc., that have taken place. THIS HAS ENORMOUS IMPLICATIONS, as is quite obvious to you. Now, I'd like a confirmation on this, if any of you would care to give me one, for my files. Because remember...it is only by this means that I have been able to prove my link with the Si's this far.; It is vital to my work. So...any volunteers? (Of course the new "members" of the Contacts will not have this letter I sent which set up the world-wide weather demonstration followed by the Si "signature," so they couldn't confirm anything if they wanted to.) === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 43 of 52 Now, since some of you are new members of my Contact group (and I must apologize for using that term to Brinsley in London, since my contacts are a relative handful of people and Brinsley's CONTACT is a world-wide organization...but how else to put it?) so at this point I'll fill you in on what the Si's (UFO intelligences) are doing. Because a friend in London asked me to have the Si's demonstrate in England, currently...I have contacted "Control" (top Si intelligence) and requested that the Si's (1) appear over England in numbers, (2) cause weather aberrations around the area of England, and (3) cause the wide appearance of "ghosts" and "poltergeists" in the area of England. I specified for a time-frame the month of June. Of course, I do not know whether they will comply or not. They do not like other humans to suggest experiments...practically all of the "miracles" I've demonstrated through the Si's have been thought up by the Si's and dictated to me...by the Si's. But...I'm trying, with this. And let me explain another problem: the Si's have a different "time" than our time. They have to work from their dimension into our dimension through "time windows". I.e., instead of the above phenomena happening in June...it could take place in July or August. This has occurred before. The phenomena does in fact occur...but out of the time-frame I try to force it into. A friend in New York and a friend in New Jersey...have requested I ask the Si's to appear and thus create more interest in UFO's than is currently being shown by the layman on the street. I have taken this request to "Control" who has promised me that they will appear (as they just have) and be written up in newspapers and mags, to stir up more interest in them. The Si's had promised my Contacts "an earthquake summer"...i.e., violent, savage weather phenomena around the world...to continue through the summer into the fall season. Peru was the latest country to be struck. And day before yesterday 12 towns in Oklahoma, I believe it was, were chewed up by tornados. These are the most recent events. I have a hunch the Si's will strike our east or west coast with a big earthquake during the summer; and I have sound reasons behind that hunch. The Si's some time ago...stated they would harass the Pan-Am (and now other airlines) Jumbo Jet 747's. They have done so very much; their latest actions being the Pan-Am 747 that went off the runway at NY last week; and the shooting on board the Pan-Am 747 last week. You can watch this harassment with interest, knowing it is Si-caused. This coming fall...the Si's are going to "PK" all football stadiums where pro football teams will play...which will cause freak accidents and injuries...and have the effect of causing pro football teams to be regular traveling hospital wards. After the appearance...of some articles coming out in July and August about them...the Si's will reward humans for it...(because it is of the utmost importance to them to have their work known around the world)...by not touching or interfering with the next Apollo shot (they certainly "touched and interfered" with the last two Apollo shots!) === **Filename: 7007.pdf** === Page 44 of 52 3 The Si's are going to cause something strange and unusual...to happen in the Washington, D.C. area, as you know from a recent communication from me; and they are going to "spank" the Miami, Florida area in some way, for reasons of their own. I believe that's the extent, right now...of what they are working on, and reporting to you through me. Before I forget it...let me explain an interesting point. The term "SI" as you know...stands for Space Intelligence, or "Saucer" Intelligence, if you will. However, just recently...the Si's have added to my education from them...by adding sound to the symbols which they've given me to use with them for purposes of communication. This for the first time...and I've been communicating with them for five years now just with symbols. So they've just taught me how to combine sound with the symbols. All right. So now I'm using Sound and Images, right? Which also, if you put that together, comes to "SI". Interesting coincidence. Why the sound with the mental images I use? The best I can explain, from the little explanation they've given me...is that the sound acts as a carrier of the image, giving the mental image more force and carries it truer...they gave me the example of my throwing a light knife (remember I'm a pro knife-thrower) which can wobble and waver in flight and drop off-target. But by adding an amount of tape to the handle...enough weight is given to the knife to throw it hard and true. And so it is with the different and varied sounds they give me to go along with the mental images I'm supposed to use in various assignments they give me. That's it for now. I won't be able to write you very often, because of no postage and no money and very little time to write. But I'll try to keep you abreast of the Si's actions as often as I can, because it is of prime importance to them, and to you, that I do so. For those of you who are new, and might be puzzled by some of the things written herein...get Otto Binder's excellently-written articles re the Si's coming out in SAGA Magazine on the stands in July and August.

Dyer, Court Reporter So...you do not even blink with astonishment...when a man calls in lightning, tornadic winds, and rain...on a certain relatively small geographical area...within a relatively short space of time, specified. And documented in advance in writing. Well, well. I reckon then that some more demonstrations will have to be made. I am setting up an unusual apparatus to cover this area... from the Si's (UFO's) tool-kit of ODE forces and effects (ODE is other-dimensional...which is where the Si's originate... from another dimension). This mechanism will have the effect of highly-charging the Norfolk/Virginia Beach, etc. (Tidewater area) with magnetic and electro-magnetic force. An ODE "grid" has been placed over this area, and is now in operation. The grid acts just like the gimmick that charges a car battery....and this will also draw water from the nearby ocean to this area, besides drawing lightning to this area... So, in the near future things will get lively here. All sorts of weird unusual magnetic and electro-magnetic effects. Lots of lightning...could be even on nice days in the daytime... lots of electrical storms. And so on. I've done this before, using the Si power, and it was fantastic...the results....over the area it was used on. Watch, and see.

STEADMAN Virginian-Pilot Staff Writer A storm punctuated by severe lightning dumped more than 2 1/2 inches of rain on Tidewater Thursday. Better than an inch of precipitation was recorded at Norfolk Regional Airport between 6 and 7 p.m., the Weather Bureau reported. Thunderstorms covered 75 per cent of the state Thursday, according to the Weather Bureau. This was unusual, even if not phenomenal. Two men from the Tidewater area were the object of a Coast Guard search in the Atlantic off Cape Hatteras Thursday night after their 18-foot outboard was reported overdue about 7 p.m. Air surveillance will resume today at first light. A spokesman at 5th District headquarters in Portsmouth said the outboard departed Hatteras about 7:30 a.m. Thursday, and was expected to return well before night. Seas were rough and winds of 25 knots, gusting higher, were reported off the cape during the afternoon, the Coast Guard said. A Coast Guard plane and 44-foot cutter probed the ocean for the tiny boat until high winds and poor visibility forced them to suspend operations about 11 p.m. The men were not identified. The intensity of the rainfall flooded streets and low-lying sections, creating instant lakes and headaches throughout the four South Hampton Roads cities. A mudslide inundated the eastbound lanes of Granby Street at Taussing Boulevard, where the rain washed out dirt from the Inter-state 64 overpass under construction, Norfolk police said. Street crews were scraping away the muck, which some reports said was 6 feet deep, late Thursday. Residents of a three-story brick apartment house in the 900 block of Brandon Avenue, Norfolk, were told by firemen to evacuate the building after an accumulation of water caused the roof to collapse. Water seeped through to the ground floor and presented a potential hazard in combination with the electrical system, the residents were informed. Lightning set off a multitude of small fires in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, and Virginia Beach. Authorities said none of the fires was extensive. A freak bolt of lightning caused damage in three widely separate spots at the home of Hubert Bass on Pefley Drive in Norfolk. Bass said the bolt knocked a hole through a garage wall at one end of the five-bedroom brick house, damaged another wall at the opposite end, and shattered a low brick wall he had been building around a tree about 6 feet away from the house. In Virginia Beach, fire officials reported that lightning hit the Lakeville Estates apartments at Indian River Road near Military Highway and struck several residences. Power failures were widespread, mostly the result of lightning striking transformers, authorities reported. Norfolk police reported heavy flooding at all underpasses. The water was 4 1/2 feet deep in places, they said. The deluge left eight automobiles stranded in the underpass on Tidewater Drive at Virginia Beach Boulevard and water was over the top of car wheels on Tidewater Drive around the 2nd Precinct, police said. Virginian-Pilot Photo by Neal V. Clark Jr. Brambleton Avenue becomes a running river between Tidewater Drive and Chapel Street. All right. So far, so good.

Thursday night's sharp series of storms, some with pea-sized hail downtown, left 2.65 inches of rain in Norfolk to 11:15 p.m. and raised June's total to 3.49 inches. Downtown streets were like running rivers at the peak of the downpours. Winds gusted to 40 m.p.h. at Norfolk Airport. More drought-breaking rains are likely. The forecast is for partly cloudy weather tonight and Saturday, but with a continuing (50 per cent) chance of thundershowers. The high today is to be in the 80s; the low tonight in the 60s; and high Saturday again in the 80s. Strong and gusty winds are likely in some thunderstorms. Otherwise, between showers, winds are to be variable at 10 to 15 m.p.h. through Saturday. Heavy thunderstorms rumbled along and south of a stationary front that extended Thursday night from the Atlantic across Southern Maryland to a storm center over north-central Virginia. A particularly severe squall truck the Newport News (Denbigh) area between 5 and 6 p.m. Wind gusts were estimated up to 70 m.p.h. in Norfolk... one end of the five-bedroom brick house, damaged another wall at the opposite end, and shattered a low brick wall he had been building around a tree about 6 feet away from the house...

A definite cause for the astral light was not assigned but United Press International reported that, "The Navy's Poseidon roared into the night from Cape Kennedy at 9:31 p.m. in the 20th test of the new weapons system Monday. The Bureau said cirrus clouds at 30,000 feet would normally reflect a light into a halo effect. But the bureau spokesman knew of no light, such as the moon, specifically situated Monday night. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's rocket installation at Wallops Island reported no firings Monday. 6/30/70 June 30, 1970 Dr. Sprinkle Editor, Virginian-Pilot Newspaper Editor, Ledger-Star Newspaper Guy Friddell George Maddry Joseph Dyer, Court Reporter I direct your attention to my letter to you of June 24, 1970.

All sorts of weird and unusual magnetic and electro-magnetic effects...." All right. So last night I was watching the 11 o'clock news and the announcer said "Strange object seen in the sky..." and covered all three stations on the subject...hundreds of people had phoned in to the police that they'd seen a mushroom cloud which changed into a giant multi-colored object over the Chesapeake area of Norfolk (where I live, incidentally)...and the different announcers were all trying to guess what it could be, and said frankly that nobody knew what it was. They'd contacted Wallops Island, but nothing was being done there. They all carefully and cautiously and painfully endeavored to not say the word "UFO". But one man, of them all, was at least honest: "There was a time," he said, "when I didn't believe in THOSE THINGS, but then I saw one, and now I'm a believer." In the paper this morning there was just a small blurb...and it tried to give it the old "marsh gas" treatment. No mention of a "UFO". They called it a "halo". I just looked at the Ledger-Star and they don't even mention it. At least I could find no mention of it. So...in the space of two weeks I called in my UFO's to give this area a flood of rain and storm...and they did, certainly did. Then a genuine UFO appears over Norfolk last night.

Presumably light reflected off circus clouds which were made up of ice particles. The clouds were at 30,000 feet. What was the source of the light? The Norfolk Weather Bureau could not say today. Willie Pegram of 4 Lawrence Circle, Portsmouth, said he observed the halo at 9:20 p.m. from a position near the Elizabeth Manor Golf and Country Club. The halo was south to southwest from that position Pegram said, and as it enlarged it became fainter. Miss Jean Chapman of the weather bureau said that the moon reflecting off cirrus clouds can cause the phenomenon, but the moon did not rise last night until after midnight. Miss Chapman checked with the Richmond and Hatteras, N.C. weather stations and the halo was not reported seen by either. However, an unidentified caller reported seeing the halo at Hatteras, Miss Chapman said. She said Hatteras advised that Cape Kennedy reported that reflected light from a high altitude research rocket fired there was visible as far north as South Carolina. The rocket was fired at 9:31 p.m. With Pegram seeing the halo at 9:20 p.m. the firing and the halo appear unrelated. Persons in Norfolk and Virginia Beach reported seeing the light between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. ter clipping that I found in tonight's to the letter-copy I sent you from s of Norfolk on June 24. sely, you will see that by now...I this past week here, in advance in called this phenomena which occurred hich puzzles everyone including the ance in writing...re my "grid" which cro-magnetic effects, other-dimensional.

As you indicated in the July 27th letter, you have not heard from some of your leaders. I watched, with interest, the KC Chiefs and College All Stars game, on last Friday night. I was interested, partly because of my little-boy liking for football and partly because of the questions regarding what might happen to the KC Chiefs. I noted that the KC chief's punt return runner was bothered twice--to the extent of a fumble--but I was not certain if I could see other evidences of fumbles, injuries, and other unusual events. One question which has bothered me and which may have no immediate answer, is this: If the SI's wish to demonstrate their abilities and powers, would it be easier for them to do this in their own way rather than to use your abilities and efforts in these activities? As you indicate, there is a plan for the SI's in regard to professional football, and yet it seems that their goals must be many and varied, since professional football would seem to be rather "low on the list" of their eventual plans. Despite the questions which come to me, I appreciate the effort, time, and money involved in your sending these letters and documents to me. Thank you very much. Best wishes to you. Sincerely, R. Leo Sprinkle, Ph.D. Counselor and Associate Professor of Counseling and Testing dm === **Filename: 7008.pdf** === Page 2 of 13 Dr Sprinkle July 27, 1970..........TO ALL CONTACTS (THE PRO FOOTBALL SEASON) Now that you have all been able to read Otto Binder's masterfully-written account of my activities in SAGA Magazine...showing the depth and scope of my work...you will be better able to appreciate what I am doing now, as well as in the future. (Have just completed demonstrating five miracles in the span of five weeks! Documented.) Before proceeding further...Brad Steiger is doing a book which will be out in October...about the world's psychics...and there'll be some kind of article in it on me and my work. Mention this just in case you want to get a copy. If you want Brad's address to order a copy, just let me know. OKAY. Comming up this week...is the All-Star vs. Kansas City Chiefs game. Believe I told you, or most of you, some time ago...months...that I aimed to try to use PK to beat the KC Chiefs (current world's pro champions) in this one game. This Friday night, when the game is on, will be using my mind...to exert PK force (in a thousand ways) against the Chiefs, to help the All-Stars beat them. (The kids, you know.) Am going to use the Soldier's Field stadium in Chicago...as a "demonstration model". Will try to affect the power there...knock out lights, etc., and affect the TV and radio. My force, from my mind...could also affect the people there and cause them to do strange things. I will give the All-Stars, with my mind...many many opportunities to win the game. If they tail to take advantage of all those opportunities, then, of course, they will not win. The PK cannot pick up the ball and run with it. It can trip up the opponents and make them fumble and goof all over the place. Which is what I'll try to make happen to the Chiefs. And cause minor injuries to the Chiefs...because am going to block them this year from winning the World's Championship. I've already notified Hank Stram of this. (Also I've notified the New York Jets coach; the Dallas Cowboys coach; the Phila. Eagles coach; and the Miami Dolphins coach -- that I will use my mind...to stop them from winning the World's Championship this year.) So you can observe with interest...what happens. The Si's are going to, on their own...place their controls in every stadium this coming pro season...to affect every pro game...to cause countless injuries to players. Make walking hospitals out of all the pro football teams. Now, I am not doing this. They are. They've told me, to pass this on. My job will be to handle and control just five pro teams, with my mind. (Last year I controlled, successfully, three pro teams...one of them the Jets.) Now...you say the Si's must be out of their tree, as my friend Larry Maddry says...to do the above mean things. But I assure you...their plan is absolutely brilliant. I know why they are doing it; they have told me; but they forbid me to tell you the why of it. You can just see the result. Players being carried off the field by the many. Later on, when the time is right, they will allow me to tell you the why of this that they are doing...and then you'll gasp at their infinite cleverness! Guess that is all for now. Be sure and see that game this Friday...and hope that the Si's "time window" is okay for it. If it is okay, you'll see my mind control the game...and you'll probably see freakish things happen; a weird game. Best to you all now...and write in sometime. You might be dead and buried, a lot of you, for all I know. Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS, Norfolk, Va. Owens === **Filename: 7008.pdf** === Page 3 of 13 August 7, 1970 Mr. Larry Maddry, Virginian-Pilot. Dr. Sprinkle Posted Aug 8, 1970 Dear Larry: Since my lightning kicked the stuffings out of Virginia Beach last week, I've felt guilty...because you did do a column (though not the correct one the Si's wanted)...and now I feel wrong about it when I signal for rain. So...I've discontinued, days ago, any more signaling for rain and storms. There's bound to be an "echo effect"...that is, for several weeks the mechanism I set up will be in the process of phasing out...it doesn't just happen right now. But after that, it should be very nice here. At any rate I won't be kicking up any more lightning attacks and driving rainstorms. And am taking away the "grid" the same way. That's that, and I feel better about it. I like you and want to keep the faith with you. Interestingly...the Si's told me something new yesterday, in their mysterious and inimical way. It was to the effect that they had trained me for long years...how to use ODE effects in literally hundreds of ways under varying conditions...and they asked me a question: do not lawyers study law for years to become lawyers? Do not doctors study medicine and surgery for years to become MD's? And at that point they withdrew from further communication. That can only have one meaning as I understand the Si's. They've been giving me what amounts to a "college education" in the use of their many powers, and ahead of me lies...some sort of "degree" evidently...i.e., I'll "graduate" and become "something". Of course I don't know what that "something" is. But one thing for sure. I'll be the only, single, graduate from this college, in the human race. If you aren't doing anything next Wednesday at noon...drop by 401, Plaza One, and let me treat you to an old-fashioned, delicious chicken and dumpling meal at the Puritan Restaurant that I told you about...or you could meet me there at noon. Either way. If you can make it, of course. Before closing...Dr. Simpson treated me, and the Si's, badly, when he refused to confirm the absolute fact that I called up a hurricane and guided it straight to target for him. It's documented. All right. Let's teach Dr. Simpson a lesson. Am going to call up two hurricanes to criss-cross lower Florida, making an "x" pattern (not necessarily two at the same time) either this season, or the next season. And guess what "target zero" will be! You've guessed it...the Hurricane Center (and Dr. Simpson's headquarters) at Miami University. Heh heh! Best to you and yours..... Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 cc: Dr. Simpson, Chief Hurricane Center Miami Owens === **Filename: 7008.pdf** === Page 4 of 13 August 10, 1970 Dear Dr. Sprinkle: Thank you for your communication. If you watched the All Star game on TV...then you saw the close-up of the face of the Chief quarterback, Dawson, as he came off the field in the second half...baffled, puzzled, and disgusted. And well he should be. As leader of the greatest pro football team in the world...he'd been unable to score more than a single touchdown against a bunch of kids who had never played against pros in their lives. Moreover, he'd tried every pro trick in the book...including a fake kick...to score in the second half...and was unable to do so. This is PK working; pure and simple, and powerful. The fact that the Stars threw the ball as a gift to the Chiefs a couple of times for a couple of easy scores meant nothing except that the Stars were throwing away their PK advantage. Yes, the fumble by the Chiefs runback expert, was dramatic...almost unbelievable the way it happened. The ball ran back to the eight yard line, I believe...where the Stars took it...and did their thing: threw away another chance they had to score by not scoring. I might add; when the game first came on the announcer on TV apologized for an upset in the TV communications, but said they'd finally gotten it corrected. Do not...judge my PK effectivity...on the basis of a single game which you do not understand fully. That was the fatal mistake made by the owners of the Eagles. I wrote Jerry Wolman that I could make his Eagles champs. His brother, Manny Wolman, who lives in Washington, D.C., came to Philadelphia to meet with me...and gave me a single game to prove my work. I went to the game, involving the Steelers...and blocked the Steelers most effectively -- but the Eagles threw away every PK chance they got, just like the Stars did; i.e., the Steelers would fumble inside their own 20...and the Eagles would fail to score. Time and again. And the Eagles lost. And Wolman laughed at me and dismissed me...so then I went to work in earnest to show Wolman, and the Eagles, just what I could do to them, over a period of time. When you received all my recent letters re lightning attacks, rainstorms, drought, Hurricane Becky's rainfall, and the EM UFO over Norfolk...your secretary should have collated it all in a package...gluing the newsclips in date order...so that you could easily see the absolutely miraculous series of events following my letter to you of June 16th! You ask why the Si's do not "do it themselves". I suppose I understand your question. If you've read my book, then you know that the Si's have told me that they worked with Moses, who, like Ezekial, did approximately the same things I am doing. I.e., the "Lord" would tell them to tell the people, or the Pharoah, something...he would...then the "Lord" would make it happen. All right. Why did not the "Lord" do it himself then? Instead of using Moses...or using Ezekial...as the "Lord" spokesman? You ask a penetrating question...and that is the === **Filename: 7008.pdf** === Page 5 of 13 only answer that comes to my mind, offhand. If the Lord had the tremendous powers that were displayed when he took apart the Pharoah and the Egyptians...the same powers the Si's seem to have...why, it seems logical that the Lord didn't need Moses to go all through that rigamarole of speaking to the Pharoah. Right? Why didn't the Lord just change the Pharoah's mind...i.e., do it the Lord's way with the Lord's power. Why the middleman? Same with Ezekial. I'll give you some food for thought...only by the Pharoah refusing Moses...and rejecting the powers of the "Lord"...was the Lord given opportunity to display the various powers...plagues, rodent and insect infestations, and so on. If the Pharoah had simply given in on Moses' first request then the people of that time, and the world later on, through the bibillical record...would not know anything about the mysterious powers over and beyond the natural laws of humans. In the Si's book of rules...humans must choose to be helped by them...before they are allowed to help humans. It must be human choice Incidentally...I have a complete file put together on my recent "multiple miracle"...can send it to you if you'll return it safely. But you have the same material there, that I have. Mine is just collated. This multiple miracle is perhaps the best thing I've ever done...there is no chance of "coincidence" involved...or precognition, for that matter...involving as it does a staggering variety of actions...rainstorm within a week, lightning attacks on specific areas, electromagnetic effect over Norfolk, hurricane brought into being and its rains used on Norfolk...all within the space of five weeks. Called in writing in advance. Really, no one could argue with that at all. So the football thing bothers you, eh? Heh heh. No doubt. You are like the human playing an ordinary game of chess...the Si's playing with you are, say, 25 to 50 moves ahead of you. The football thing seems trifling...and yet I think I can say, without giving the Si plan away...it's a major ploy with the Si's to obtain a major goal. Really big. Let me show you how they work: I've dealt with CIA and NASA for years...but nothing resulted. Both those agencies are, let's face it, corruptible. They almost have to be...politics to get things they want, like money for many activities and goals...power, etc. The one agency which is not corruptible is the FBI. Now, the Si's told me to write to the head of Pan Am and say they would bedevil the Pan Am 747's (this before they even flew regularly.) What happened? The Pan Am opener was a joke: lots of drum rolling in New York and the first plane...couldn't even get off the ground. So they used a substitute. It got to Europe, then all sorts of things went wrong. Shortly planes (747's still) that took off from France or Puerto Rico, had to turn back because of serious malfunctions. A 747 crashed on the runway on the west coast. So two FBI men came to see me about the matter. I explained, and they shook hands and left. THEN the Si's explained to ME that they had brought this about on purpose so that the FBI would get into the "Si action"...thus true === **Filename: 7008.pdf** === Page 6 of 13 and accurate reports...not biased by power politics or greedy money wants or anything else, as per CIA and NASA, ...would get to the top level of US government. From the FBI. This the Si's wanted. But they didn't tell me the details...until the entire thing had been accomplished, complete with the 747 incidents. They are incredibly clever. To get back to your question...which bothers you, as you say...the Si's ARE doing this in their own way... look at it this way...suppose you wanted to improve the dolphin strain. You isolated a huge herd of dolphins. Through a strange stroke of luck, you got hold of one dolphin which could actually understand you, and communicate back in turn. Now, how much easier to improve ALL the dolphins, if you could pass information on to this one dolphin which, in turn, passed it on in dolphin language to all the other dolphins...which cannot communicate with you, nor you with them? I welcome all questions which come from you, for I know they are intelligent questions...no matter how skeptical you might be...for that is, after all, a scientific approach. Observation and experimentation, skeptically, yet with an open mind. After all...I've walked the lonely road long years, demonstrating all this...with nothing but skeptics around me. But since my paranormal work is valid, solid, concrete.... it makes no difference whatever. It is simply a matter of time...until this fact is realized by humans on a high level of authority...and the paranormal work then put to useful, practical purposes...instead of demonstrations to get attention and prove points. Patience, Leo (call me Ted)....you'll never in your life encounter anything bigger, or more important...to you or the human race...than what I'm trying to show you now and in the future. You won't believe that, but I know it to be quite true. Best wishes to you. Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Va. 23514 P.S. Please xerox this and send copy to Dr. HYnek, alias Allen.

Beach, 1 in N.C. 8/17/70 # Riptide Alarm Spans Beaches By MORRIS ROWE and ETHEL STEADMAN Virginian-Pilot Staff Writers A treacherous undertow extending from Cape Hatteras to Ocean City, Md., was blamed for the drowning of two people Sunday, one in Virginia Beach and the other in Buxton, N.C. The Weather Bureau issued a dangerous riptide alarm for the 300-mile stretch of beaches shortly before noon Sunday and warned bathers and surfers to beware of the strong undertow at least through today. Virginia Beach Patrolman C. W. Cover said Julio Fajardo, 19, of Guatemala, disappeared about 11:30 a.m. despite rescue attempts by his brother and two lifeguards. Fajardo was swimming about 50 yards offshore at 34th Street when he got into trouble, Cover said. Fajardo's brother, Juan, of Arlington, grabbed a float and went to Julio's aid. Julio, Cover said, grabbed Juan around the neck and almost drowned him. Two lifeguards, John Havilmand and Joe Shepherd, then went to help the brothers but were able to save only Juan. The body had not been recovered Sunday night. The Fajardos came to Virginia Beach Sunday to spend the day, Cover said. The other drowning victim was a young woman vacationing with her husband on North Carolina's Outer Banks. Mrs. Susan Jones, 23, of Cincinnati, Ohio, drowned in rough surf behind the Cape Hatteras Court Motel in Buxton. A Coast Guard spokesman said she apparently was swimming alone. Witnesses reported seeing her swimming the back stroke before she disappeared. Her body was recovered by a Coast Guard amphibious vehicle beyond the breakers four minutes after rescue personnel arrived. Efforts to revive Mrs. Jones (See Riptide, Page A8) === **Filename: 7008.pdf** === Page 8 of 13 8/17/70 # Riptide ## From Page 1 failed, and she was pronounced dead in Coast Guard sick bay at Cape Hatteras. Two young children of a State Highway Department worker drowned in the James River near Jamestown in an accident unrelated to the killer tides. James City County authorities identified the children as 13-year-old Joyce Piggott and her 9-year-old brother Keith. The children, two of nine children of the Robert Piggott family of Norge, were swimming near the Williamsburg-Jamestown Colonial Parkway when the accident occurred late Sunday afternoon. Witnesses indicated that the children apparently got out too far from shore and into water over their heads. Rescue workers recovered the body of Keith Piggott early in the evening, but had not found the other child's body by late Sunday night. Cover, a retired Navy man, said he had "never seen anything like this" in 20 years in the Navy. He quoted Hugh Kitchin, captain of the Virginia Beach Patrol, the lifeguard service, as saying Sunday's undertow was only the fourth time in 40 years he had seen the water at Virginia Beach so treacherous. Riptides occur when water, piled onto a beach by waves or swells, rushes quickly back into the ocean. Sunday, swells of up to eight feet and tides up to six feet were reported in Virginia Beach. Cover put it this way: "There is a rough surf and strong undertow coming from the south-southeast. The waves come in, crash down on top of the water and immediately go back out, creating a suction effect that carries swimmers out with it. "Normally the waves come in, break and flow up on the beach. They weren't doing that. They'd just come, crash down and move back out." Police tried to close the entire oceanfront from Ft. Story to the North Carolina line at 12:30 p.m., but found that all they could do legally was issue warnings. Police, Coast Guardmen, and National Park Service officials patrolled beaches from Fort Story to Cape Hatteras Sunday. Despite warnings, they reported, some swimmers entered the water. The Coast Guard dispatched the cutter Pt. Huron to cruise the Virginia capes to help boatmen in distress. Hundreds were reportedly experiencing difficulty returning to calm water, but no incidents were recorded. The weekend sea conditions apparently were a spinoff from the tropical disturbance, now dissipated, which Friday caused a delay in the departure of a shipload of nerve gas from Sunny Point, N.C. The Weather Bureau said the trough of low pressure caused squalls and generally rough weather offshore. This turbulence kicked up the waves and swells which produced the riptides. The tide Sunday was extremely low about 12:30 and although not directly related to the undertow situation, it did cause the grounding of the biggest charter fishing boat operating out of Rudee Inlet. Earl Paul, owner of the Sea Robin II, a 65-foot, $70,000 party boat, said he went aground in the Rudee Inlet channel at 12:40 as he tried to make it to dockside. A second boat, the Jo-Dee, owned by policeman J. T. Haley, came in behind Paul, but didn't have enough clearance around the Sea Robin II to make it through the channel. Paul said he was temporarily in danger of cracking up the boat against the rock jetties before he could tie the boat securely. Haley put a line from the Jo-Dee on the Sea Robin to help keep it from going onto the rocks. Paul said he didn't think his boat was damaged, and he was able to make it dockside at 3:30 p.m. Haley followed. The Sea Robin is new and started operating in Rudee in June. Paul said he ran aground every day for the first two weeks he had the boat in operation. Sunday he said he believed a northeaster earlier this week dumped about six inches of sand in the Rudee channel and that was what caused his problem. "That six inches was our margin of safety," he said. Sam Scott, director of the Bureau of Tourism, whose job includes the development of Rudee Inlet, was called to the scene Sunday but declined to comment on the situation. Another spokesman Sunday said dredging probably will begin today to open the channel.

A most interesting situation has arisen now. As a result of the Saga article, I was fired from the office where I worked...because the most stupid boss there (called "Double Ugly" by the employees) has a deathly fear of UFO's... when he found out about the articles. As a result...am now without a car, without money, without proper clothes...and age 50. You figure it out. I could make 20 to 30 thousand a year...you bet...with a bankroll to start it off. But have no bankroll. Anyway...enclosed find some clippings. Couldn't enclosed the second clipping re the 74 mph storm yesterday, because of lack of funds to get downtown, and to get the necessary papers. Anyone else will have to check with you. Now, to business. And it is very, very interesting. As you know, I had signaled the Sis, and they put a "grid" over this area...and per my daily signals as per my training, they sent weekly tough thunderstorms into this Norfolk/Virginia Beach area. Then Larry Maddry wrote me and said, "I give the hell up...let's have an interview..." in order to get this area off the hook. He did the interview, and I stopped signaling the Si's. This per my agreement with Maddry and the newspaper. I explained to Maddry that the mechanism as set up (ODE mechanism) would not instantly go away...that it would have to be slowly phased out...taking some weeks. Sunday a tremendous, and rare, killer undertow hit Virginia Beach...which only two weeks ago was hit by a lightning attack like you've never seen... then Monday, a tremendous thunderstorm which flooded the area, WITH 74 MPH WINDS. (Otto...you've got clippings to cover both...as I explained above, the other contacts will have to do without the "74 mph storm"...reason as explained above.) You see...although the Si's have trained me rigorously...in over a hundred ways to USE ODE methods...PK methods...they haven't given me a single method of REMOVING the PK, or the ODE mechanism! And I thought this would interest you to know it. I had, of course, assumed that if I stopped my daily signals, then the phenomena would cease. But...that might not be the case. If ODE attacks keep on happening into September, then I'll have to contact my "professors" in the other dimension...and get some specialized training in how to remove this thing. In closing...am deeply disappointed that I have been unable to get a written confirmation on my "Multiple Miracle" of recent date from my friendly scientists, who are observing. (This is why the Si's are hostile to scientists.) They were in on it from the beginning. If Dr. S, Dr. H, or Dr. F...would like to give me a detailed written (perhaps notarized) confirmation on my recent "Multiple Miracle"...which am very proud of... it would help me, and the Si's, very very much. Of course, if they do not wish...it is their prerogative. Personally I feel it is a matter of truth over scientific "image". And what I have accomplished is TRUTH. After all...I can only send in my written predictions in advance, before the fact. I cannot be there in the scientists' offices to date-stamp the material, and collate their file for them...so that they can see the miracle that is happening. Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia. === **Filename: 7008.pdf** === Page 10 of 13 August 12, 1970 Dr. Simpson, Chief Hurricane Bureau, Miami Dear Dr. Simpson: Am writing to point out a most inaccurate and really unscientific statement that you made to Maddry, the local reporter, when he called you a while back and talked to you. You told him (approx.) that I'd sent you a whole lot of material...but nothing helpful. Nothing...helpful? I could not believe my ears! First...although I came down there personally and showed you my documented file...your letter to me, my answer to you, followed by the demonstration I promised you...a cane to Cape Kennedy...and you would not admit even this to Maddry. But...let's get to your statement about "nothing helpful" in my info to you. The season before Hurricane Camille...I wrote you and warned you...that the Si's were going to produce the "granddaddy of them all...biggest and most powerful hurricane ever to hit the U.S." It didn't hit that season...it hit the following season. Camille WAS the granddaddy of them all. How was my information helpful? If you'd believed me, as you should have by now...you'd have warned the people of the possibility of this, and they'd have been prepared. Also, in all that "unhelpful material" I carefully explained to you that all hurricanes then, and now, are Si canes...they are different than old, ordinary hurricanes. They are special, with special properties. Why was this information helpful? Because, if you'd have believed me...countless lives would have been saved and that's a fact. Before Camille struck, newspapers printed stories of people who were going to "ride out Camille...because they'd been through hurricanes before." Before Celia just struck people announced they'd ride her out...because they'd been through hurricanes before. Yes, sure, but NOT SI CANES. If they'd KNOWN these were special canes, with special properties, known about the Si's...then they'd played safe and gotten the hell out of there! You, sir, have failed quite badly...in your duty...to the people of this country...to keep them informed, accurately and adequately. Also, in all of that "unhelpful material" I offered to give you the services of my Si mind...the only one of its kind in the world...to AVERT hurricanes as they approached. If you'd believed me...I could have turned Camille back, and the same with Celia. You aren't a dumb man. I enjoyed talking with you. You are very intelligent. So that I KNOW and YOU KNOW that what I am saying is quite true. My documentation is quite powerful and good. And you damn well know that, too. But it isn't fair to the people whom you're supposed to be guarding with YOUR services...to let them keep on thinking the hurricanes that approach are ordinary hurricanes. You know that Celia was the only one of its kind ever; Camille was quite a fooler too, yes? Think about it a while.

(Cushman and Hochman) Gentlemen: As I explained some time ago...my "duty" for the 21's this pro football season...is to control five pro teams...the Jets, the Dolphins, the KC Chiefs, the Eagles and the Cowboys. By control, I mean...stop them from attaining the World Championship, which means taking their team apart as the season progresses, and causing them to lose games. Now, I didn't pick the patsies to control...the Jets, KC Chiefs and Cowboys are just about the best teams around in the world. So far in the season the Eagles have lost 2 (out of 3); the Jets have lost 2 (out of 3); the Cowboys have lost 2 (out of 3), and the Chiefs have lost 1 out of 3. This isn't bad for a PK start. But...the Miami Dolphins so far have eluded the PK. Ha ha ha. So naturally...I'll have to give a special demonstration on the Dolphins. Special PK will now be assigned to get rid of Griese and Waterfield, the two stars holding the team together. And that will be all of that. You can watch it happen, now. Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 Owens === **Filename: 7008.pdf** === Page 12 of 13 August 28, 1970 Mr. Allan Dale Avco Broadcasting Corporation Box 2641 San Antonio, Texas 78206 Dear Allan: It was a pleasure spending an hour talking with you over the phone last night. I hope...that it was up to your expectations. If your program last night with me...is like the others I've had...you'll be deluged with mail as a result of it. Please let me know if this is so. Reason. This letter is a letter of confirmation...that as of last night I "hit" San Antonio with various powers from another dimension. The only human being in this world able to do such a thing. The object: to heal the people now sick with diphtheria, in much quicker time than is normally possible (especially the children) and to kill and void the diphtheria germs in San Antonio completely, so that the epidemic which is now in effect there, vanishes quickly. The special powers which I sent...other-dimensional powers from another world than our own...should, besides accomplishing the above, create such a healing atmosphere in San Antonio...that many others who are sick and crippled, will get well (besides the diphtheria patients.) After you hung up last night, I communicated with the Si's instantly...told them the situation, and what was needed, then I released the mental connection and made a cup of coffee...right on schedule came their telepathic "capsule"...a whole lot of information given me telepathically in a split-second. I sat down and wrote it out...my instructions from them on how to proceed...then I proceeded. First, I visualized my "Angel Box"...a mental picture of a box with the lid opening, then out flows rainbow-like "things" I have named angels, because they are so dynamically healing. I sent 100 of them flowing into San Antonio, which I also pictured in my mind's eye. Thus, the darkened city of San Antonio was covered with 100 of these gorgeous rainbow creatures whose sole duty it is...is to heal and make happy. Next...I visualized the darkened area that was San Antonio at night...opened a mentally-pictured box called "Healing PK" and let the strange forms from it flow into San Antonio, and as they did they changed the darkened area from black into an x-ray white. Next in my mind I picked up "Nature's Telephone"...just like a phone booth...except that the phone is a direct line to Nature. And requested that Nature heal the sick in San Antonio and especially heal quickly the diphtheria-sick, and kill the diphtheria germs; and if Nature might not like to kill them, at least take them somewhere else other than San Antonio. Next I used my "disc method" on the hundreds or thousands of sick in San Antonio...simultaneously. I.e., instead of === **Filename: 7008.pdf** === Page 13 of 13 2 charging and coding one disc for an individual..I charged and coded an entire city. Instead of a disc, a city. You see, with these intelligences...they think to infinity...their powers extend to infinity...it is as easy to charge and code an entire city as a small disc. I could charge and code the world, for that matter. But I will not, until some conditions are met. Next I used "time displacement"....by an ODE process I exchanged the year 1970 in San Antonio, for the year 1968 in San Antonio, (when there was no diphtheria, you see?) So that, if that technique works...the diphtheria epidemic that is going on now, will simply vanish and go back in time to the year 1968. Finally, in conclusion...I prayed to God, in the name of Jesus, for Him to heal the sick in San Antonio, and especially the little children. That's a "last but not least" thing, because once I merely prayed to God, and made him a "deal"...and then experienced three consecutive miracles that you'd never believe sworn on a thousand Bibles. I know, and can testify, how very REAL God is and can be. This is the very first time...I've ever broken down and explained the way or the methods I've used...to approach an experiment of this sort, a Si experiment. I have just concluded here in Norfolk...a multiple-miracle, involving rainstorms called down onto a drought area; lightning attacks on a certain area; a UFO over Norfolk; a hurricane produced and its rains brought to Norfolk...all within the span of five weeks, documented. But I didn't bother to explain how I did it, to anybody. Now...I HAVE A FAVOR TO ASK OF YOU. I can't get the San Antonio papers here...and it is absolutely vital for my files to get DAILY CLIPPINGS from the San Antonio papers re the diphtheria epidemic, for the next 2-4 weeks. Will you do me this very great favor? Each day scan the papers for your news, and when you see anything at all about anyone being healed or getting well...anything at all about the diphtheria...clip it out and send it to me. I need these badly, Allan, for my files and my work to help people. Incidentally...I'm sorry I interrupted you last night..you were saying something happened that frightened your wife when she was talking to somebody about the Si's...wasn't that it? Please give me all of the details on that, okay? Your new friend.... Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 P.S. Wish you'd get some rich Texan to back me...subsidize my work...so that all year long I could help sick and crippled people, and divert hurricanes.

Hynek Dr. Leo Sprinkle Otto Binder Gray Barker Gentlemen: Some fascinating intelligence has just been passed on to me, and after reflecting as to who just might be the most interested in it...although you-all are not connected...you four came to mind. Although this is unbelievable...so are the things I've done...and this just might come in handy to you to know, some day. In the past hour...I had two phony phone calls. So obviously phony I had to laugh. But also I was puzzled. In the past four weeks...I've had dozens of "wrong number" phone calls, and obviously phony sales pitches. I know they were phony because I've been a salesman and know every inch of the ground. So...I communicated with Control, top Si, and asked what it was all about. This, following, is what Control told me: It is a crude system used by the OI's, or other intelligences (the bad UFO creatures the Si's have warned of, see my book) to attempt to "program" people... where the Si's can appear and vanish...meanwhile modifying a human brain without using a scalpel...the OI's use the cruder method of "capsule subliminal" suggestion. How it works: the OI's call their target. An entire, long message has been prepared in capsule form, and covered over with sound...an ordinary, short call to a "wrong number"...but long enough so that the suggestion is given through "subliminal sound" to the target. You are of course familiar with subliminal suggestion as sent through a TV set. This is a modification of same, sent through sound, in capsule form. This will explain why some people do strange things after they receive "wrong number" phone calls, or a sales pitch. Or perhaps drop dead from a heart attack. Won't work on me...for I have multiple-protection against the like. Won't tell what the protection is...but just one part of it is, of course, auto-hyp; another is anti-PK the Si's have built in. The less the OI's know, the better. They know that much about me anyway. I was going to include the government agencies in this..but they surely wouldn't grasp it, or understand...so am sending this on to you four, who can understand. Best. Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 Owens === **Filename: 7009 Nixon Letters.pdf** === Page 2 of 5 Dr. Sprinkle Sept. 22, 1970 Tom Cushman, Stan Hochman Sports Desk, Phila. Daily News, Philadelphia. Gentlemen: One of the greatest miracles of modern times is taking place... and taking place without anyone knowing about it, relatively speaking. Certainly the population of the U.S. knows nothing about it. But you gentlemen do. I wrote to you...before the pro football season started...and told you that I would "control" five, 5, pro football teams this year to be losers. The Jets, Chiefs, Eagles, Dolphins and Cowboys. Primary target: none of them to be able to win the World Championship later on (which is all of the marbles.) Secondary target: for them to lose as many games as possible. The miracle has developed right in front of your non-seeing eyes. The five teams have now played a total of 35, thirty-five games. (And I might mention that the Chiefs and Jets are two of THE toughest teams to beat in the U.S., both having been World's Champions these past two years.) The five teams have LOST a total of 22 out of 35, games by now. Won only 13. Last week I beat four, 4 of the five, 5. This week I beat four, 4 of the five, 5. This Sunday I beat the Kansas City Chiefs. Yesterday, next day, I beat the Jets. I'll tell you, I have the utmost respect for Namath...he's darn hard to beat. But the PK will do it just about every time. Tell you how good it worked...in the 4th quarter of the Jets game I wanted the Browns to hold on to their lead, and they were going to kick...so I instructed the PK force on the field to take the kick "for an extra long distance" down the field. The kick got off ordinarily. The Jet receiver signaled for a fair catch, and quite mysteriously the ball dipped to one side just as it reached him (you've never seen anything quite like it) and then bounded as if possessed for about 20-30 yards towards the Jets goal line, where it was downed on the 4. And that sank Namath and Company. That's how good the PK worked in last night's game. The announcer kept saying "how could this be? The Jets have 500 yards gained and the Browns only 180...yet the Browns are ahead?" Ha ha. Or "who ever heard of a team being penalized 164 yards, like the Jets are tonight?" (PK causes mistakes of all kinds, including penalties to get the PK'd team pushed back.) It's a downright rotten shame the people of the U.S. can't know what is going on, with this PK attack on five pro teams, and see it develop! One man controlling pro team after pro team with his mind! Owens Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 The PK effect, and game action, have measurable results. === **Filename: 7009 Nixon Letters.pdf** === Page 3 of 5 Dr. Sprinkle Sept. 25, 1970 President Nixon: In 1968...I wrote and warned of two things...and you can find this in the various government agencies' files of my writings: (1) Russia had perfected a long-range missile that could be fired...and would attack the U.S. from the direction of South America. I pointed out...that our missile defenses were set up in Alaska and along our north and eastern coasts... so what would happen if these new Russian missiles came from the direction of the South American countries? (At that time I didn't know anything about "orbital bombs"...which has just now become solid intelligence; just relatively recently now. (2) I warned...that the Russians had set up a dangerous (to the U.S.) missile-launching arrangement behind Cuba, using the body of Cuba as a shield from the U.S. (And not long after I wrote this warning, a U.S. warplane 'accidentally' got lost and went down back, behind Cuba. No doubt, to take a look. On the news tonight, two years later...hard intelligence that the US has just discovered that I was right two years ago. NOW THE REASON FOR THIS LETTER: Shame on you, and the U.S. Government! California has had no rain since April. It is desperate. 100 homes have been burned down. The State is in an emergency situation, the worst in 33 years, according to TV. Fires are breaking out all over. WHY HASN'T GOVERNOR REAGON, OR EVEN YOU OR THE GOVERNMENT, GOTTEN PK MAN OUT THERE...TO UNLEASH RAIN AND ABSOLUTELY DROWN OUT THE AREA? You certainly know enough by now...of my work...to have the utmost confidence in me. The only conceivable conclusion I can come to...is...the U.S. Government has the stupids. I can give California all the rain it can stand. All you have to do is ask me. (But doubtless you'd rather see California go up in smoke. Seriously.)

A sentence reads: "I have a hunch THE SI'S WILL STRIKE our east or west coast WITH A BIG EARTHQUAKE during the summer..." In this morning's Sunday paper: "QUAKES CAUSE BLAST, DAMAGE IN, NEAR L.A." Los Angeles (UPI): Southern California was shaken by a series of earthquakes Saturday that caused damage ranging from an explosion at an aircraft parts plant to broken windows and power failures..........The first quake was recorded at 7:14 a.m. PDT, but was felt by few persons. The more severe shock was felt at 7:31 a.m. Aftershocks followed. Buildings in downtown Los Angeles swayed with the rolling, 30-second quake. Homeowners with swimming pools said water poured over the edges. Power failures were reported over a wide area. A Los Angeles radio station, KMPC....was off the air for eight minutes because of power failure. Other stations in the Riverside-San Bernardino area also were off the air for brief periods of time. (NOTE: THIS HAPPENED EARLY SATURDAY. LAST NIGHT, SATURDAY NIGHT, I WAS WATCHING THE ARKANSAS-STANFORD COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME ON TV...AND ALL THE POWER BLEW OUT AT THE STADIUM. HAPPENED JUST LIKE I TRIED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN AT THE ALL STAR GAME. FOR TEN MINUTES ALL TV AND RADIO WAS OFF COMPLETELY PLUS LIGHTS AT THE STADIUM. IN ARKANSAS, IT HAPPENED. QUITE A WAY FROM CALIFORNIA. BUT QUITE A COINCIDENCE.) To continue: The National Earthquake Information Center in Rockville, Maryland, placed the magnitude at 5.4 (on the Richter Scale). Now get this: "It felt like the building was coming down," a deputy at the Newhall substation said. "It was the eeriest thing I've ever felt around here." (This is, I think, an odd, strange remark to make concerning an earthquake.) That's one "prediction" come to pass. AND NOW YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO MOVE OFF OF THAT LETTER, OR EVEN THAT PAGE....FOR MY NEXT "PREDICTION" WHICH HAS COME TO PASS! Just drop down a few lines, and: "This coming fall...the Si's are going to "PK" all football stadiums where pro football teams will play...which will cause freak accidents and injuries...and have the effect of causing pro football teams to be regular traveling hospital wards." (Note that I stress THE SI'S are going to do this, not me. This is their idea and their execution. Virginian-Pilot, Tuesday, Sept. 8, 1970, "LIGHTNING KILLS 2 ON GRID TEAM" St. Petersburg, Fla. (AP) Lightning struck a high school football field Monday, killing two players in a huddle and injuring 20 other persons. "We had the offensive team in the huddle," Gibbs High School Coach Al Campbell said. "I heard a loud clapping noise and every body was knocked down -- players, coaches and everybody on the field -- was knocked down." ..........Police Sgt. Hink said the single bolt crashed down at the point where the boys were huddled. "Those that were hurt hurt the worst were in the huddle," he said. Campbell said, "There was no warning. We usually leave the field when it begins to lightning." Well, you say...a coincidence. Could happen anytime. Absolutely not a coincidence...and I can prove it was not a coincidence, but the Si's === **Filename: 7009 Nixon Letters.pdf** === Page 5 of 5 going about their work as I predicted they would in my letter of June 13! THE VERY NEXT DAY..........IN THE VERY SAME NEWSPAPER..........September 9, 1970, "TWO GRIDDERS KILLED BY LIGHTNING." (Is this just another article about the Florida football field hit by lightning? Read on.) Cleveland (AP) Two suburban Beachwood High School football players were killed Tuesday when struck by lightning as they were leaving the school practice field.......... A spokesman at Suburban Community Hospital said several other boys were knocked to the ground but were not injured seriously. Two young gridders were killed when struck by lightning Monday (yesterday) in St. Petersburg, Fla., as their team huddled on the practice field." (That's written right there in the article.) In other words..........two almost impossible, incredible events in two days' time.. both events happening on football fields. (Why high school football fields? Because I think the SI's are giving a second, deadly serious warning..........to the pro football players, and the thousands of people who will be in those football stadiums this year. This may be the reason the SI's knocked out all the power in the football stadium on the nationally-televised game last night between Arkansas and Stanford..........to dramatize their seriousness re their intent. Evidently they couldn't get through their time window for the All Star Game..........last night they could...) All right. This is quite a "scoop"..........to make a "double-hit" with predictions..........on the same page of a three-page letter three months ago. Both covering approx. the same point in time..........roughly a week. Am also including two letters I have received (please put them with my things to be returned much later when you finish reading them.) The one from Oregon..........reports that the writer..........well, "I myself and several others saw a drove of them (UFO's) here less than 1 mo. ago, and one later on." Thus, friend Otto, the SI's are definitely making appearances as they said they would. But we're hearing about it only by accident. Second letter from New York, writer says: "I have encouraged my family, relatives, associates and friends to read this (Saga) article. I don't know why I am doing this but I feel that it is one of those articles that must be read." Here again..........we have the phenomenon of the SI's telepathing people to buy Saga..........then when they buy Saga..........to spread the intelligence out to other people from the articles! Now, Otto, I don't like those football lightning strikes any more than you do. But keep in mind that Moses predicted the SI's/Lord would wipe out all newborn babies in Egypt! Which then occurred. And as it turned out, from the viewpoint of ages later..........it was in a "good cause" since the imprisoned people of Moses escaped from the bad and evil Pharoah.

For, while quarterbacks get the greater share of the gold and glory, running backs get the greater share of the black and blue. ### NFL Sick Call Other first-stringers lost for the season or lengthy periods of time: AMERICAN CONFERENCE Baltimore--Defensive back Charlie Stukes, leg. Boston--Defensive end Ike Lassiter, knee; No. 1 draft Phil Olsen, knee. Cleveland--Linebacker John Garlington, hamstring. Denver--Middle linebacker John Huard, leg. Houston--Wide receiver Charlie Joiner, broken arm. Miami--Center Tom Goode, broken thumb; linebacker Ed Weisacosky, shoulder. New York--Defensive end Gerry Philbin, shoulder separation; defensive tackle Steve Thompson, cracked ribs; tackle Roger Finnie, ankle; wide receiver Don Maynard, thigh bruise. Oakland--Middle linebacker Dan Conners, broken forearm; cornerback Willie Brown, shoulder. Pittsburgh--Defensive back John Rowser, shoulder separation. San Diego--Defensive tackle Ron Billingsley, elbow. NATIONAL CONFERENCE Atlanta--Defensive tackle Carlton Dabney, knee; linebacker Greg Brezina, knee; tackle George Kunz, knee; No. 1 draft John Small, knee. Chicago--Wide receivers Bob Wallace, torn knee ligaments; Jim Seymour, leg muscle. Detroit--Wide receiver Johnny Wright, Achilles tendon. Green Bay--Linebacker Dave Robinson, snapped Achilles tendon. Minnesota--Cornerback Earsell Mackbee, hyper-extended knee. New Orleans--Guard John Shinners, dislocated elbow. New York--Guard Pete Case, ankle; cornerback Scott Eaton, hamstring. Philadelphia--Defensive back Al Nelson, infection affecting heart beat; safety Bill Bradley, torn knee ligaments. St. Louis--Linebacker Rocky Rosema, leg. An Associated Press survey showed Thursday that going into the sixth week of the season more than 15 running backs, among them several of considerable magnitude, have been lost for the season or for extended periods with serious injuries. Thirteen of the 26 teams have been plagued by injuries to their running backs with Chicago, Baltimore, Los Angeles and San Diego each losing their two-man first-string tandem either for the season or a lengthy period. The Bears have been particularly hard hit with Sayers and running mate Craig Baynham undergoing surgery Thursday. Sayers, who has a damaged left knee tendon, is out for the year. Baynham, who has a problem with an ankle tendon, may be able to return at the end of the season. George Halas, the Bears' president, said he has been on the phone trying to complete a trade for a running back before the trading deadline next Tuesday, but pointed out "almost everywhere other clubs have the same kind of injury problems." The Colts have been without both Tom Matte and Jerry Hill because of leg injuries, the Rams played their first several games without broken-jawed Les Josephson and hobbled Larry Smith and the Chargers are going without Dick Post and Brad Hubbert, both down with knee injuries. Granger, the Houston Oilers' top rusher, is lost for the season after undergoing surgery for ligament damage to his left knee and so is Matt Snell of the New York Jets, who ruptured an Achilles tendon that required surgery. Others lost for the season include Dave Hampton of Green Bay with a pelvic disorder, Leroy Keyes of Philadelphia with an Achilles tendon; No. 1 draft choice Larry Stegent of St. Louis with a knee injury and Max Anderson of Buffalo with a knee injury. There also have been a number lost for a significant length of time, including Andy Livingston, New Orleans, knee; Jim Nance, Boston, ankle; Willis Crenshaw, Denver, leg, and Tommy Mason, Los Angeles, broken ribs. While running backs have been the hardest hit, quarterbacks also have taken their lumps, particularly Joe Namath of the Jets and Charley Johnson of Houston. Namath has a broken wrist bone and Johnson a fractured collarbone. Both will be lost until the closing weeks of the season, if they return at all. Cincinnati lost Greg Cook with arm problems that required surgery even before the season started and three others have been troubled at various times this year--Len Dawson of Kansas City, Bill Nelsen of Cleveland Roger Staubach of Dallas. === **Filename: 7010 Ted Owens correct on post office prediction.pdf** === Page 2 of 6 Oct. 23, 1970 Mr. Cushman and Mr. Hochman Sports Desk Phila. Daily News Philadelphia, Pa. Dr. Sprinkle Gentlemen: I wrote you at the very beginning of the pro football season... and informed you that the Si's (UFO intelligences) were going to go all out this pro season...and literally tear all pro football teams to pieces! That the Si's would put "attack PK" in all football stadiums where pro teams would play, and make "traveling hospital wards" out of pro football teams. I pointed out that this was the Si's idea and execution...my job for them was to control just five teams, Jets, Chiefs, Cowboys, Eagles and Dolphins. I knew that sooner or later some periodical would publish an extraordinary list of pro football casualties...and this morning it happened. The Virginian-Pilot, Norfolk, Virginia, published an Associated Press article. Am enclosing a copy for you to see. Just like when I hit the Eagles with PK some years ago and your local papers published a "sick call" list of horrendous proportions...so does this one for the entire NFL! Note: "...the number of injuries cutting down running backs at an alarming rate...". And: "An Associated Press survey showed Thursday that going into the sixth week of the season more than 15 running backs, among them several of considerable magnitude, have been lost for the season or for extended periods with serious injuries. Thirteen of the 26 teams have been plagued by injuries to their running backs..." And it goes on to add injuries to other kinds of players, including quarterbacks Len Dawson, Roger Stauback and Joe Namath, who quarterback three of my PK'd teams. You know...you gentlemen and a few of my contacts are the only ones who know what is behind this, what is causing this. I warned when I wrote you before the season...that it was your responsibility to get this out to the players, the word, so that then it would be their choice if they played (and got hurt) or not. I'm afraid you fell down on your job. Too bad. There'll be lots more injuries. Just how the Si's are doing this is quite fascinating (I know how) but there's no use telling you, I guess. Waste of time.

Eagles lost. Dolphins lost. KC Chiefs lost. (All the PK'd teams, except Cowboys who played Chiefs; had to let one win Gentlemen: Ive been slow to take the Miami Dolphins apart...and make them fast losers...because yesterday was the first and only time I've been able to get them on television to do it. I managed to get them on the radio some weeks before...and beat them, for their only loss. Up till yesterday, that is. And yesterday, working on them with my special PK mind...I sopped the Miami Dolphins cold, in their tracks...as you are aware you were stopped. Though no doubt you gave the credit to the other team. Ha You remember me, Dolphins...I came to your offices before the season began, last year...and offered to make your team a world-beater. You said no. That you had a potential world-champion team. Well, with me demonstrating the only power of its kind in the world against your team...you are sunk. As for the KC Chiefs...I warned you also, before this season began (as I warned the Dolphins, the New York Jets, the Phila. Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys) that I'd stop you cold this year, stop you from reaching the World Championship (which is for all the marbles). Look what has happened to your teams, and the other three! I hit the Jets week after week on TV, and wiped out all...not practically all, but all...of their key players. Namath, Boozer, Snell, and so on. I got to the Cowboys several times on TV, and wiped out many of their key players...Staubach and others. Morton is so injured he can hardly stand up. (Yesterday I helped the Cowboys beat the Chiefs with PK, because the Cowboys have so many injured they haven't a chance to get to the Championship...so I attacked the stronger team, the Chiefs, with PK). Of the other teams, the Eagles haven't won a game yet...and are out of the running for the Championship; as are the Jets now. And the Cowboys are so weakened they haven't a chance. That leaves just the Dolphins and Chiefs to finish off with PK in the next few weeks; then my job is done. I PROMISED ALL FIVE TEAMS IN WRITING BEFORE THE SEASON BEGAN THAT I WOULD TAKE THEM APART WITH KEY INJURIES TO KEY PLAYERS AND BLOCK THEM FROM THE PRO CHAMPIONSHIP...and of course it is coming to pass, just like I did with the Eagles some years ago. Woodeshick, The Eagles star, who was torn up in yesterday's game and is out now for the season, said it right for newspaper reporters: "This team is jinxed!" he said. "This team is really, really jinxed!" And he's right, it is. And so are the Jets, the Chiefs, the Cowboys and the Dolphins. You will find this hard to believe...BUT I HAVE THE POWER TO ACTUALLY PICK UP FOOTBALL PLAYERS WITH MY MIND AND FLING THEM AT OTHER PLAYERS! And I can knock the feet out from underneath runners when nobody is near them! I do this time and time and time again in PK'ing games. That's why so many injuries...and why so many weird, freak things are happening.

Mr. Gerald Kvasnicka and his wife were driving in their car in Kansas...and heard the broadcast you and I participated in. He immediately wrote two fast letters to you...saying it was a matter of life or death to contact me...but those letters got hung up because the mail was so heavy, as you know. He then got a copy of Saga magazine...and fired off a special delivery to Saga, which was rushed to me. I called him long distance, and he said his brother had a tiny girl, age 3, dying of leukemia in Los Angeles, and could I help? I told him I didn't know, but that I'd saved others that were dying. The upshot was that he sent me a round-trip plane ticket and I immediately flew to Los Angeles and went to his brother Ken's house there. This girl is a living doll. But...she certainly was dying. The doctor's gave her about a week to live by the time I got there. I used ten choice other-dimensional techniques on her, then returned, to Norfolk. (I put so much energy and "juice" into trying to restore her that I was knocked out for a full week. Couldn't work.) Now, I told Ken Kvasnicka out there in LA that the first thing I had to do with my special ability...was to HALT her downslide. If a car is out of control, going downhill, first thing to do is get the brakes on and stop it. THEN figure out how to turn it around and get it up the hill again, you see? I just received a letter from Gerald Kvasnicka in Kansas that his brother called long distance and reported that Melody (the little girl's name) had improved 100%. The "bad" cells had dropped from 80 to 2; the "good" cells had doubled; and her horribly distended stomach, from the disease, had subsided! And she had begun to eat "with relish." Of course, this startling reversal is terrifically good news, and I wanted to share it with you, since it wouldn't have come about were it not for your radio show. Gerald A.

Mr. Dale I think the time has come...to show off the Si powers and miracle abilities...on a large scale. (Large to me and us, but not to them. I've seen them give world-wide demonstrations of weather control, and a killer drought in India, saving four million people, and so on...this is a larger scale than just a U.S. city). Provided you wish to enter into this hour-long experiment that I've mentioned...I'll carry it one step further. Not only...will people who hear the hour-long broadcast be helped in mysterious ways (through powers activated by my voice, via the Si's, in their behalf) BUT -- when the hour-long program is over, I want the listeners to go out of their houses and apartments and study the sky nearby. I WILL BUILD A MECHANISM INTO THE HOUR-LONG PROGRAM WHICH WILL ACTUALLY CALL THE UFO'S INTO HUMAN SIGHT FOR SOME TIME AFTER THE PROGRAM IS OVER, SO THAT THEY CAN BE SEEN WHERE THE PROGRAM IS HEARD. Thus you should be able to get reports from various places, in the days following the program (or even phone calls just after the program is over) telling of and describing UFO's seen as a result of your program! As I say...this entire thing is an experiment on my part. I haven't done anything like this before. And I intend to carry this even further. Am going to unleash Si powers...certain ones...to INFLUENCE San Antonio, which is a very rough place, as I remember, having been through there several times. This will have the effect of reducing the crime rate of San Antonio, of bringing about miraculous healing cures in San Antonio, in the hospitals and elsewhere. In short...am going to make a test case...experiment...out of the city of San Antonio...make it a better place. The criminal elements there will get very queasy and uneasy and unhappy...and probably move away. Law enforcement agencies, police, etc., will have a much easier time of it, because these powers will help them and be on their side. And the PK will grow and become even more powerful as time goes by. I will not change it or withdraw it. I'm going to make San Antonio my "baby" to overlook and oversee with powers from the other dimension which I know so well. God help the criminals in San Antonio from now on...and those there who would hurt anyone or anything there, for their punishment will be sure and terrible...coming as it will from the Si's and their dimension.

I was working at my window about a week ago when Ted Owens, who calls himself "PK Man" and has a P.O. Box, No. 3134, at our post office, came to my window. "Mr. Ramos," he said, "my special ESP ability and powerful mind have picked up the thoughts of some bad people...who are planning to bomb a post office here in Norfolk. It could be this one. They plan to bomb it on Saturday or Sunday. You had better notify the authorities about it." Last Saturday a bomb was thrown at the Post Office building on West 20th Street here in Norfolk, and the FBI have entered the case.

Police said the bomb exploded on a loading dock on the east side of the building. The building's yellow brick wall was blackened and fragments of glass littered the loading platform. The bomb hit the building inches away from a large window. Investigators found burned newspapers and an empty salt container in a trash can behind the Post Office.

Do you Eagles think for a minute... that after losing 16 games straight... you could beat Miami, one of the toughest in the NFL, without PK Man's help? Ha! Fer...git it! Sunday, Nov. 8, 1970 Dr. Sprinkle The Philadelphia Eagles Before your game today with the Miami Dolphins...the TV announcer (I had the game live on TV) said you'd lost 16 games straight...and maybe you'd put it all together today. I'm telling you now...YOU didn't put it all together...I put you all together today...in order to beat the Dolphins...exactly as I outlined it to you and all my contacts in my letter of last week. I used your team as a hammer to beat the Dolphins, who are higher in the ratings than you are. (What team isn't?) Since you are both PK'd teams, one of you had to lose. I chose the Miami Dolphins to lose. Today I also had, simultaneously, the Cowboys and Giants, on radio...and this is most interesting. I beat the Cowboys all right, just as I planned to do. BUT...after the Eagles had gotten 24 points I figured things were safe to beat the Dolphins, so I switched over to the radio to concentrate on the Cowboys for a while. When I switched back to TV, the Dolphins had almost tied you. UP TO THE TIME I SWITCHED TO THE RADIO...THE DOLPHINS COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. As soon as I went away from that game to the Cowboys' game, then the Dolphins began to score against the Eagles. Get the idea? Anyway, I got back onto your game...and "froze" it so that you could win over the Dolphins. I'm not being nice to you at all...just knocking the Dolphins off from getting to that championship. AS A MATTER OF FACT...because your Eagles' secretary called me a "nut" on the phone last week, and because Jim Smart printed that you keep my correspondence in the "junk file"...I am going to put a lot of extra english on my "attack PK" against the Eagles in the weeks to come. I'll teach you to respect PK Man! Today I also beat the Jets, using the Steelers as a hammer. I missed on the Chiefs, because the Oilers were too weak. Here's a true story I tried to give to Larry Bonko last week...but he didn't return my call. So I'll give it to everybody. It's by Robert Sylvester, New York Daily News, November 5, 1970. Seems that Al Woodall, of the Jets, dismayed because of the PK jinx...and playing in place of Namath, who got injured...joined a coven of witches in New York, for protection and for good luck. The witches told him, in order to beat the PK jinx, to yell "kazunt" whenever he passed. But secretly the witches tipped off the Giants (this was last Sunday when the Giants beat the Jets) and whenever Woodall tried to pass, yelling "kazunt!"...the Giants were running at him yelling "kazunt!" Hilarious. It's a true story. Today Woodall got injured in the Steeler's game. Now the Jets are down to no quarterbacks at all. How PK'd can you get? Now if you Eagles think you won a game today, forget it. "That 'ole black magic" will be smiting you in the future weeks...until you play Miami or Dallas or KC Chiefs. Then I might help you out again. In the meantime...the Lord help you.

In last August and September issues of Saga Magazine it was discussed how I had ruined the Philadelphia Eagles with my mind, and through contact with UFO intelligences. There will be two more articles in Saga this coming March and April. Also, a book has just been published, and you can find it on your drugstore bookstand, a Lancer Book, called "The Seers Predict For 1971", by Brad Steiger. It is a book about "America's greatest psychics." The book discusses my work. Reason for this letter...last night on nationally-televised Colts-Packers game the announcers were discussing the "incredible wave of injuries of pro football players this year"...never before encountered on such a scale. I want to make sincere apologies to all pro teams for these injuries. They are my doing. It was necessary to bring this about...in order to demonstrate for certain scientists and government agencies...what my mind can do. And this was the only way. In my letter to my 30 contacts on June 13, 1970 (scientists, govt. agencies, lawyers and others) I stated the following: "This coming fall...the SI's (UFO intelligences) are going to "PK" all football stadiums where pro football teams will play...which will cause freak accidents and injuries...and have the effect of causing pro football teams to be regular traveling hospital wards." This communication was also sent to the Sports Desk of the Phila. Daily News, 400 N. Broad Street, Phila., Pa., Messrs. Cushman and Hochman. I also informed my contacts at that time that I would single out five NFL teams...Chiefs, Jets, Cowboys, Eagles and Dolphins...and with my mind keep them away from the Pro Championship this year. When the Miami Dolphins won a lot, I wrote Cushman and Hochman once more, and told them I would now take the Dolphins apart and begin their losing...and since I told them that, they've begun losing big. (Last Sunday on TV I used PK on every play to beat the Dolphins, using the Eagles as a "hammer". I succeeded. Obviously, the weak and winless Eagles, after having lost 16 games, were not about to beat the powerful Dolphins, one of the best in the NFL, without my PK entering into it.) And incidentally...that letter referred to above of June 13, 1970, also was given to a court reporter on that day...who swore out an affidavit for it and signed it. So it is on record...that my intent, through the SI's, was to cause "an incredible wave of pro football injuries." But I am sorry to have had to do it, even for a scientific experiment. Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 P.S. I used PK to beat the Packers, last night, to shove the Dolphins farther back in the ratings. === **Filename: 7011.pdf** === Page 3 of 17 November 3, 1970 TO ALL CONTACTS Dr. Himminkle You've all just witnessed...a clear-cut, beautiful demonstration of my "PK" attacking several pro football teams this past Sunday. Now I want you to get one thing in mind...remember several years ago when reporters took me to a pro game in Philadelphia, and I had Woodeshick thrown out of the game...by using my mind to do it? It is thoroughly documented. The reporters wrote it up at the time. Now, Woodeshick lost his temper, ran onto the field and hit a player. There was a fight. I.e., the "PK" manipulated several humans into a fight to get the desired result. In yesterday's Ledger-Star was the heading: "Brawls Affect Outcome of Two Pro Games." Yep. Both pro games were my PK'd targets! The Giants were behind and in danger of losing...so lo and behold a fight, which so angered the Giants they scored 16 points in only 2 minutes...to win the game. Here again, a fight...to obtain the desired result. The other game was even more interesting...I had it on TV...and the Chiefs were ahead, with only about a minute to play. I asked the SI's for a miracle to happen so that the Chiefs wouldn't win. But...the Chiefs had the ball. Suddenly Otis Taylor, a Chief, punched a Raider in the nose (here again a fight) and both teams fought for about eight minutes. The referees got all confused and forgot where the ball had been. They got even more confused... first they penalized the Raiders (and the game would have been over) then they reversed the decision and penalized the Chiefs. This gave the Raiders the ball...they kicked a field goal...tied the Chiefs...which cost the Chiefs a vital victory in the Western Division race! The result I was after! The Chief's coach, Stram, then ran into the dressing room of the referees and bawled out Finley, the referee who changed his mind re the penalty...and the referee ran Stram out of the room, yelling at Stram "Don't you call me a crook!" "Get out of here!" So you see...the PK used fights in both games to pull out a win and a tie for my "side". Just like the PK used a fight to get Woodeshick out. This was the second Sunday in a row that I was able to get to Miami first, then to Kansas City. Previous Sunday I had both on TV, and beat them both. Blanked out Miami. This Sunday I got Miami on the radio and blanked them out again. Miami can't understand why it's had a goose egg two games in a row. It's because I handled them personally by TV and radio. The Giants beat the Jets, another PK'd team. Two PK'd teams played each other...Cowboys and Eagles. Now, the PK has grown so strong onto the Eagles...that only my personal presence at an Eagle game could offset the attacking PK. I tried to get the Eagles to get me to Dallas, so I could use the Eagles as a "hammer" on the Cowboys, but they wouldn't, so they got beaten. "Long-distance" or "absent" PK isn't strong enough to help the Eagles; but it sure will wreck the Eagles! My PK attacks make for crazy, weird games...and I guess you really saw that in the Giants-Jets and KC Chiefs-Raiders games, yes? My personal control over these pro football teams...via my mind...is awesome. Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Va. 23514 === **Filename: 7011.pdf** === Page 4 of 17 November 12, 1970 Dr. Sprinkle Dear Otto: The Si's have just given me some startling information...and I will share it with you. When I was a schoolboy, my teachers thought that I was dumb. So did my parents. What they didn't know was...I could read the minds of my teachers, and my schoolmates...I could go out in the streets and "smell" the wind, and tell what was going on in different parts of the small town I lived in...and I could read magazines while in the 1st grade, age 6...at the time my first teacher was trying to get the class to identify letters on small cardboard squares! I can remember it all clearly, and I thought everybody could do what I could do. When Lornie, my daughter, was age 6, she could talk with me, with the authority of a professor of psychology in college, about ESP and its branches and all of its nuances...the word psychokinesis was as common to her as the word table salt. She was an expert on the field of hypnosis and could talk to me for hours on the subject, as equal to equal! (I'd been a pro hypnotist for twenty years!) Yet she did poorly in school in the early grades...just squeaked by...and the same in high school. Now the same thing is occurring...my little boy Beau, age 7, is considered dumb by his teachers. He's restless in class, doesn't follow the teacher, his attention is elsewhere, etc. And I can tell by observing Beau daily...that he is a carbon-copy of me when I was his age! This puzzled me and I was brooding on the strangeness of it recently...when suddenly the Si's communicated, and gave me the entire answer in a lightning-flash! The human thinking apparatus is a complicated maze of "wiring" and "patterns of wiring". The Mensas, M's, have a much larger "pattern of wiring" than the normal person, who has a more simplified, smaller pattern of wiring. And of course, the smaller pattern is easier to activate in the early beginning. The larger pattern, more complicated pattern, takes longer, years longer, to activate! The Si's even gave me mental pictures to show me plainly how it works! They showed me a giant blotter, capable of absorbing water. Beside it was a tiny blotter, capable of absorbing water. Both blotters represented human brains...the giant blotter the more highly-evolved brain...the smaller blotter the simple, uncomplicated brain. If water were poured into the center of the small blotter, then the entire blotter would be saturated quickly. I.e., the child's brain is quickly activated (normal child) and the child functions normally, as the teacher expects the child should. But if water is poured into the center of the giant blotter, representing a child's brain that is highly-evolved, and very complicated pattern...then it takes years longer for that blotter to become entirely saturated (activated) to full operating capacity! (Gee, I hope I'm getting this over. It's so easy for me to see in my mind and understand...but getting Si information into English is tough sometimes.) === **Filename: 7011.pdf** === Page 5 of 17 2 A similar analogy exists in nature. A newborn colt, or puppy, or kitten...etc., having a simple uncomplicated thinking pattern...quickly gets onto its feet, gets its eyes opened, and copes with its environment. Just like the child with a "small mind", or mind that is simple, normal and uncomplicated gets into action re coping with its environment quickly...and does better in 1st grade than the child with a "large mind" that is complicated, and will be unable to cope with its environment so quickly because the total brain pattern has to have more time to become fully activated! Now, just as the colt or puppy gets into action fast in its environment...in contrast the human baby takes a long time to get into action to cope with its environment, comparatively. Right? I.e., with newborn colt compared with newborn human baby, so as to 1st grader child with small mind pattern compared with 1st grader child with large mind pattern to be activated fully. You see? This is tremendously exciting to me, what the Si's have told me. I surely do wish I could show you the mental pictures the Si's have shown me. Because they actually showed me a mind-pattern in a human. It's like pictures I've seen of the cell set-up, you know, the genetic pattern. They also showed me an illness pattern in a human...looks something like a aerial view of a maze below, or one of those puzzles composed of innumerable squares, some with openings, some with none, where you're supposed to draw a pencil line through to the center. (And they showed me how to draw this illness pattern out of a human. haven't tried it yet.) It has to be transferred to some lesser form of living thing...like a tree, etc. I know this sounds fantastic...but the PK has wrecked football teams...why shouldn't this information be correct! All right, switch thought here. In 1965 I went to CIA in Washington D.C. and told them all about Nature. I also told them at that time that Nature said if I died or were killed...then the U.S. would be destroyed. I'd always thought they meant either they would do it, or would allow our enemies Russia and China destroy the U.S. BUT in light of your most recent ms., what they've meant (and they've since reminded the U.S. govt. agencies time and again of this)...is that if I die or am killed...THEN THERE WILL BE NOBODY TO PROTECT THE U.S. FROM THE PSI WAR JUST BEGINNING WITH RUSSIA AND CHINA! I am, after all, due to their seven years of training, the only human in the world with my psi knowledge and uses of practical application of psi powers to the extent that I can use it. If the U.S. loses that...then the U.S. can be destroyed by ESP attacks from Russia and China, as they grow more advanced in how to use it. As primitive as they are with it, and their knowledge, they are getting results in the U.S.! Before closing, Otto...just for your special interest...I'd like to tell you how I "flew" on two different occasions, and how I learned to read in one day at the age of six. === **Filename: 7011.pdf** === Page 6 of 17 Correction... "flaw" On possibly three occasions. The first time was when I was five. My grandmother, "Queenie", drove across town to a neighbor's house. It was at dusk. She left me in the yard outside, while she went inside. Alone, suddenly I was drawn up into the air. I passed up over the downstairs window...up over the roof of the house...then the next thing I knew I was coming down again, slowly, until I reached the ground in a sitting position. How long I was up in the air, or what happened up there, I don't know. No memory of it at all. But I rushed into the house, greatly excited, and told Queenie about it...but of course she thought I was imagining it, and told me to run back outside and play. The second time...was when I was a teenager. I climbed up on top of a ten-foot diving board at the Country Club swimming pool in Bedford, Indiana, and did a swan dive off the high board. But oddly, I didn't come down. I remained in the swan position, arms outstretched, looking down at the people in the pool...and it seemed as if time were frozen! Finally I came down with a splash. BUT THIS TIME SOMEBODY SAW IT AND CONFIRMED IT! Bob Armstrong, a childhood enemy of mine, said to me when I swam to the edge of the pool, "T, what happened up there? Seemed like you were up there forever. Thought you never were coming down!" Only he, of the some 20 people around the pool, had seen it and noticed it...BUT HE HAD! It had not been my imagination. This made me greatly excited. The third time was when I was on the Day Star, a Swedish ship sailing out of Frisco for New Caledonia in 1943. Out in the Pacific I was out on deck, up on a hatch, when suddenly I lifted and moved slowly through the air towards the railing. I could see the amazed faces of sailors below me, looking up at me. I must have traveled about ten feet, when slowly I descended to the deck in front of the rail! I turned and all those guys were staring at me. But just like at the swimming pool...they said nothing. It was almost liked they'd all been hypnotized to forget it. Except for Bob Armstrong. Now for learning to read in one day. When I was 5, almost 6, Queenie (again) drove to Oolitic to her mother's house. Her mother was a famous psychic, worked with a Ouija board. Queenie left me outside (again) on the front porch, where I swung in the porch swing. Suddenly there was a beautiful redhaired girl in the swing with me...in her 20's. She asked me if I'd like to read, and produced a book. I said yes, but said I don't know how. She laughed musically and put her arm around me and opened the book and read to me for a bit, then she said, "You can read now. Go up inside the house into the attic where you will find some old magazines. You can read them." I ran into the house up into the attic and there was a stack of old western magazines, dime novels. I picked up one and began to read about this cowboy on the desert, cooking bacon in his frying pan. It was like a whole new world to me. Queenie finally found me up there pouring over the magazines. From that day on I read avidly every magazine I could get my hands on! Then I started school... and the teacher gave me letters on cardboards to learn to identify, the cardboards to put into words. I told her I didn't need to === **Filename: 7011.pdf** === Page 7 of 17 4 do all that...because I already could read. She sneered and laughed at me...went to the blackboard and wrote "apple" on it and asked me what that meant. Suddenly, and with no reason, I said "cow" although I knew exactly what the word was. IT WAS AS IF SOMETHING WERE TRYING TO HIDE OR SHIELD MY ADVANCED KNOWLEDGE. So she told me to go outside and stand in the hall, as punishment for lying. By age 8 I'd read all the books in the Bedford library on hypnotism and voodoo and ESP. Not only that...I put the knowledge to use. The other kid gangs fought each other with rocks. I taught my gang to take match sticks, split the ends, insert playing card fins, insert a needle into the other end...and blow them through copper tubing at the other gangs! Things like that. I used voodoo on my brother Jack once to make him sick...my mother, Carol Owens (who has always hated me and been my vicious enemy from the beginning) will confirm that! She lives at 855 Hinman Avenue, Evanston, Illinois. But she remembers. I used real voodoo techniques on my brother Jack...and he got sick...and my mother came to me and begged me to stop so that Jack would get well! And I was only 7-8 at the time. This in a tiny country town in Indiana where lots of the kids ran barefooted. By the time I was a teenager I'd read all the books in the large library in Bedford...and was having the librarian send to Indianapolis, the state capitol, for more books! I'd read three full books in an evening. This just to give you an idea of how that redhaired lady got me off to a running start by teaching me "instant reading." Somehow, it's sort of like when Cayce slept with a book under his pillow and when he woke, knew what was in it. Yet different. But somewhere in there...lies the same magic. Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 Owens === **Filename: 7011.pdf** === Page 8 of 17 Monday, November 15, 1970 Dear Otto: Have just made a fascinating discovery! MY ABILITY TO USE PK IS IN DIRECT PROPORTION TO MY PHYSICAL STATUS! Let me explain. The week previously I beat two pro teams simultaneously, one on TV and one on radio...then beat another pro team on TV. The following night I beat the Packers with PK on TV. But then...I got the flu. This last Saturday I was weak with flu, body ached, sneezed constantly, soaked one handkerchief after another with runny nose...the next day, Sunday, I had the Chiefs on TV, followed by the Jets on TV. Sneezing and blowing my nose...I pk'd the Chiefs first, play by play...managed to get two key players out of the game, managed to get the ball time and again to the Steelers, on freak mishaps from the Chiefs...but the Steelers bumbled and fumbled and simply gave the ball back again to the Chiefs time and again. (In this case the PK doesn't help the helped team at all...for they negate it.) And the Chiefs won. By the time the first game was over I was too weak to continue, a rarity for me. I flopped into bed and simply watched the Jets game...without trying to PK it. The Jets beat the hell out of the Rams. An upset. Furthermore, the Miami Dolphins ran all over the Saints, and beat the Saints down in Miami. Another upset. Actually, although three of my five target teams won...which is bad for my average...it was good in one way, because with me sick, and the PK weak and not working much...it could easily be seen what a tremendous job I've been doing in beating these powerhouse teams...because yesterday, relatively unhindered by me, they turned loose their normal games and whopped the daylights out of their opponents! Today, Monday, I feel a little stronger...at least this morning...and tonight am going to try to get up enough power to beat the Cowboys on TV with PK. The flu, for the past seven days, has been putting me to bed about five in the afternoon, weak and sick. But tonight am going to have to have enough moxy to beat the Cowboys, who are high in the ratings. I know you don't understand this pro game stuff, but actually it's one of the clearest and best indicators of how PK works...can be observed and the results evaluated Was horrified by another football team being wiped out...Marshall. Also by the abnormal storm that hit Pakistan. Ugh. Maybe I should throw my signed affidavits away on those. Best to you.......... Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === **Filename: 7011.pdf** === Page 9 of 17 P.S. Don't know if you know it or not...but the Marshall team being wiped out...wasn't the only football team endangered this weekend. Only a hundred miles away the University of Kentucky football team, on an airplane, was almost wiped out when a smaller plane crashed onto the airfield near their plane! It was a near miss. All those in the smaller plane, a Jet Commander, were killed. I think this occurred the same evening the Marshall thing happened. It was in the papers; both of these occurrences. === **Filename: 7011.pdf** === Page 10 of 17 Dr Sprinkle November 22, 1970 Dear Dr. Pogel, alias Max: Let me report you the action. Last week...for PK purposes...I was knocked out with the flu. Yesterday, Saturday, I was ill again and had to go to bed in the afternoon. But today, Sunday, I arose early and geared up for the afternoon pro football games. And I made a mistake. At 1 p.m. the Cowboys were on Channel 3, the Dolphins on Channel 10. Both "target" teams. So I had to improvise as they say in jazz. I figured I could halve the PK force...half on the Cowboys game, half on the Dolphins. So that's what I did...and worked the Cowboys game for a while, but since the score was 9 to 10 or something like that, I figured it was safe...and went to the Dolphins game. While I'd been PK'ing the Cowboys, the Dolphins had scored twice and were way ahead. That made me reconsider, so I returned to the Cowboys game and removed the PK there and transferred it to the Dolphins game...so that I'd have all the PK force concentrated on that game...since it was more important to stop the Dolphins than the Cowboys. In other words, in trying to control both TV games simultaneously, the Dolphins got out of hand and scored fast (which they are capable of...although I shut them out, blanked them, three weeks straight not long ago). Then matters got worse. The Colts dropped their passes, fumbled the ball time and again...and literally gave the game away. At least three times they could have had touchdowns...and fumbled it away. PK cannot help when that occurs. And the Dolphins won big. I was cussing. I turned to find out how the Cowboys had done since I'd left them early in the game...and found out that, unchecked by PK, they'd scored 45 points and won! So...I lost that round...and turned to the next game, the Kansas City Chiefs. I stopped the Chiefs good. They couldn't make one touchdown in the game. Just kicked a couple of field goals. The Cardinals were on the KC Chiefs 3, and fumbled the ball to the damn Chiefs...giving away a certain touchdown...and the game ended in a tie, 6-6. But of course to me it was a win...because it meant the Chiefs didn't win...thus they didn't advance in the ratings race. (Keep in mind that my goal is not week to week wins or losses...it is to keep the "target 5" from winning the World's Pro Championship this year. And that's what all the teams are after. So a tie to KC Chiefs was as good as a loss; and since the Cardinals did not lose, they kept their lead over the Cowboys! So it worked out great anyway. A great big plus was: I asked the SI's to get out some key Dolphins with injuries...and wham! Believe it or not...they carried four, that is four, key 1st team players off the field (Dolphins), two of which were Kiick, the star runner, and Warfield, their star pass catcher. That will hold those two teams back even more in the race to the championship. I'm not even bothering with the Jets, since they are out of it. I wouldn't bother with the Eagles, either, because they are out of it...but they insulted me recently...so I'll attack them when I get them on TV, just for the hell of it, to do what damage I can to them. I'll hit them tomorrow night (Monday night) when they play the Giants. Best.......... Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CES, Norfolk, Va. 23514 === **Filename: 7011.pdf** === Page 11 of 17 2 P.S. Last Monday night I had the Cowboys on TV, and held them back so that they were beaten 38-0. Now, this coming Thursday I can get them again on TV, on Thanksgiving...and this time I won't do any channel-switching and get the Si's all confused. All my powers of the mind, will be concentrated on either getting the Cowboys beaten...or liquidate some of their key players...or both. (You see, I can win, even if my "target team" doesn't lose... as long as I knock out some of their key players, like I did four of Miami's first team today. Because...that means in the crucial games coming up...in the ratings race to the Pro Championship... they'll be weakened by the loss of their key players, and fold up. Now, here's something to keep in mind. When I notified my five target teams before the season began...I picked three of the toughest teams in pro football (four really, but I didn't know Miami was that tough then). Cowboys, Jets, and KC Chiefs. Remember the Jets and KC Chiefs were very recent World Champs. The Jets, with Namath and Boozer and Snell et al, were a real powerhouse. (Of course, I liquidated Namath and Boozer and Snell so that they are no longer a powerhouse...that's my system I was telling you about. While they were winning a few games early in the season...they were losing key players for the season.) Okay. Now...here's how my five target teams now stand: none of them have won over six games, as of today. That means that none of them are at the top of their particular division. So I've done a damn good job! The Cowboys are third in their division; Miami is second in its division; KC Chiefs second in their division. (Jets and Eagles are out of it. They're just going through the motions now...and taking their lumps.) If I can kick the stuffings out of the Eagles tomorrow night... that will put the Giants farther ahead of the Cowboys...and then if I can polish off the Cowboys on Thursday (a very hard task because the Packers are weak and make too many mistakes) then the Cowboys are out of it completely. I'll be able to get at the KC Chiefs next weekend...and if I can get them to lose, or even tie...then they'll be ruined. Any game the Giants, Cardinals, Colts or Raiders play...I'll try to beat their opponents with PK...in order to knock the Cowboys, Dolphins and Chiefs down farther in the ratings. Larry Bonko, Norfolk columnist, said "Gee, Ted, you really work at this, don't you!" Ah surely do. Ted Owens P.S. The two most easily observable results from my PK work done Sunday...were the four first team injured men removed from the Dolphins, when I called for it; plus I asked the force-field on the field to make Dawson drop the ball when Stenerud tried to kick field goals on two occasions...and Dawson dropped the ball on both occasions. The kicks were both missed; muffed. Thus the Chiefs did not win. === **Filename: 7011.pdf** === Page 12 of 17 Tuesday, November 24, 1970 Dear Max: Just a coincidence, I suppose, but oddly enough the below began...just as it was announced in the papers that government agents were interviewing pro football players from all of the pro teams...and issuing subpoenas to key members of teams, with the whole thing being kept mysterious hush-hush. My apologies to you. I hope that I'm not wasting your valuable time. From the beginning of the pro season up until two weeks ago, I was doing just fine with my PK work. The past two weeks...something odd has taken place. The first of the two weeks I attributed it to my having a severe case of flu. But it's happened again this week. I'll explain it. First, as far as science and the methods of scientific measurement go...the past two weeks have been a failure for me, and a "black mark" on my ESP record. Because for the past two weeks my target teams have been winning, instead of losing. And that's the only thing that counts...as far as your scientific measurement could go. But it is how they've been winning, that puzzles me. No matter which team the target team has played...the un-PK'd team (which we'll call the UPK team from hereon) has beaten itself! The Colts last Sunday had several opportunities to make easy touchdowns...but dropped the ball on passes, and fumbled the ball to Miami on key plays. Happened again last night...I had the Eagles under good PK control, I thought. The PK hit them well, caused them to fumble and make mistakes. But...the Giants did exactly what the Colts did on Sunday (and these are two dam good teams!) The Giants dropped crucial, key passes...where the receivers were wide open for long runs and probable touchdowns. They fumbled the ball over to the Eagles on important, key plays. In short, they gave the game away, just the same way the Colts did on Sunday. And this puzzles me. The Giants could have easily tied the game with a kick at the end...but caused a penalty on themselves that ruined even that. I sent you newsclips yesterday...where the Colts coach himself said that they'd beaten themselves. No doubt that's what the Giant's coach will put into print...because it is true. But what bothers me...is the fact that for the first time since the pro season began...my PK isn't stopping the scoring of the target teams, these past two weeks. This is unnatural. I know my PK is working...because when I've asked it to cause muffed field-goals, then I got muffed field goals, not once but several times. When I asked for injuries to certain players...I got those certain players injured and out. So it is working, and couldn't be due to the SI's "time-window" (an interval of time that happens every once in a while where the SI's can't get through to me...or produce phenomena in this dimension from their dimension. It's like a black spot.) But I'll not rationalize, or alibi. Only results count. And for the first time this pro football season...my PK is missing. IT WOULD HAVE TO HAPPEN JUST AS YOU ARE GETTING INTERESTED, and this bothers me no end! My PK was beating 4 out of the 5 PK'd teams week after week...and you weren't in on it. Then you come in on it...and presto, the UPK teams start beating themselves and giving the games away to the PK'd teams. But please, I beg of you...be patient. I'll show you something really good in the PK line yet. Best..........

I respect your desire to demonstrate your abilities, and your willingness to submit information to a wide variety of persons. As you know, the question of a position at this University is "not in the cards". As you indicate, the hiring of University personnel is based upon a wide variety of criteria: academic, ethical, and experience factors. There are a few Universities which offer specific courses in parapsychology and hypnosis. My own work is primarily that of counseling psychology, although I do conduct an informal course on self-hypnosis and I often give lectures on parapsychology, hypnosis, and UFO research. These activities however, are primarily "for free" and I intend to help others to learn, as well as to increase the total contribution of the University. Also, as you say, the degree is the main requirement. It may be true that there is only "one human in the world with your ability and capacity", if so, I hope that your experiences are available to those persons who want to learn more about them. Of course, I believe that each person is unique and has something to offer to his fellow man. Perhaps a written description of your experiences will help to provide this sense of satisfaction that you would gain from knowing that other people can learn from your abilities and your experiences. Best wishes to you. Sincerely, R. Leo Sprinkle, Ph.D. Counselor and Associate Professor of Psychology RLS/mm === **Filename: 7011.pdf** === Page 14 of 17 Dr. Sprinkle... Wish your university...would sincerely consider...hiring me as a teacher (although I haven't the academic license)... to teach a class. I could do a bang-up job of teaching all of the aspects of ESP and hypnosis and autohypnosis! Because I have had over thirty years of experience in using these parapsychological functions! What I know...and could teach...would be worth more than gold and diamonds. I know techniques to use in hypnosis not known to any other living human. Trained thousands with the techniques. I could teach the students telepathic and psychokinetic experiments they've never seen or heard of. And so on. And I could add to the course...invaluable material that would inspire and motivate the students to go over, under or through all obstacles...to get what they want out of life. (But to first find out what they want out of life.) I know it's ridiculous to suggest it...but I am suggesting it, anyway. For instance while at Duke, as a freshman in 1946 (I was 26) our psychology prof made the statement to the class that the human ear couldn't hear a silent dog whistle. I immediately stood up...and told the prof of an experiment I'd conducted over the summer months...of placing a subject behind a jazz orchestra, where the music was deafening, with a notebook and pencil. And the subject was hypnotized and conditioned to hear a silent dog whistle over the loud music. I stood fifty feet away in front of the band, and blew a silent dog whistle in patterns of longs and shorts...following a script I'd jotted down. At the conclusion of the whistle blowing I went behind the band, wakened the girl...and compared my pre-notebook jottings that I'd followed with her jottings under hypnosis. They were absolutely the same! Under hypnosis she'd picked out the silent dog whistle sound unerringly through the roaring noise of hot jazz music up close! The prof was intrigued and we became close friends. Anyway, nothing ventured nothing gained, eh? Just thought I'd ask. No reply necessary, really. I can guess what you'd say to this proposition. But there's only one human in the world with my ability and capacity...and it would be nice, if I could teach some of it before I depart this earth. Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens Ted Owens Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, VA 23514 === **Filename: 7011.pdf** === Page 15 of 17 Thanksgiving, Nov. 26, 1970 TO ALL CONTACTS This is a VERY IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION. Today...I attacked the Dallas Cowboys with PK, in their game with the Packers. The PK successfully controlled the Cowboys for three quarters, with the score still 3-3; i.e., the PK had not allowed the Cowboys to score a single touchdown in three quarters, and part of the 4th, too. BUT...the Packers had bumbled and fumbled away THEIR chances to make a touchdown for 3 quarters. The Cowboys finally won. I was puzzled. You have to remember...since 1965, for five years, I've been PK'ing pro football teams successfully, and consistently, with some misses, but darn few. UP UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO. Something weird began to happen...my PK worked on the target team, all right, in every game...yet the un-PK'd team ALSO bumbled and fumbled away its chances. AT first I thought it was just a coincidence. But when half a dozen good teams like the Colts and Redskins do it in a row...I knew something was wrong. I determined to find out. Tonight I set up communications with Control of the Si's, and presented the problem to them. The answer they gave me in a few minutes...was shocking to me. Actually, I should have guessed it. A bit of background before filling you in on it. Several years ago I gave two demonstrations, at different times, of causing earthquakes and hurricanes and the like, around the world. What happened was fantastic. All over the world quakes and volcanoes came alive and typhoons and hurricanes ripped and roared. And floods, too. There was no doubt that it was an unusual series; no doubt at all. They were two, clear-cut demonstrations. Well, in Saga magazine you read how I'd told Otto Binder and my Contacts last spring...that coming up would be an "earthquake summer" with terrible floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and such, around the world...as a demonstration of Si power. Since that time Europe has had unprecedented floods; San Antonio was struck by a hurricane and greatly damaged; Peru had a devastating earthquake...the worst in its history, I believe; and more recently the Philippines have been struck by two typhoons in as many weeks, being the worst in its history; also Pakistan was just struck by a hurricane...called in the papers one of the "worst natural disasters in history." All these, obviously, were not JUST ordinary quakes, etc. Well, some months ago I contacted the Si's, alarmed at the loss of life with this demonstration, and asked them about it. They answered and told me THAT MY MIND HAD INCREASED ITS POWER AND SO THE PHENOMENA HAD INCREASED IN ITS INTENSITY, PROPORTIONATELY. All right. Tonight they told me that that was what was my problem at THIS time with my pro football demonstrations. TOO MUCH POWER WITH MY MIND. (This was interesting...I had thought THEY were doing it; they told me that I was doing it, and this is the point I'd laughed at Zakow, the astrophysicist about, when he said it was my mind doing it. I couldn't believe that. But the Si's say it is my mind. To be sure I understood, I asked them to give me an analogy in mental pictures. They quickly obliged. (This is a technique I often use with them.) In short, they said if I went to your home, where you kept a goldfish in a tank, and dropped a large lighted firecracker in the fishtank...it would stun the fish. (This compared to what I WAS doing in PK'ing teams on a football field.) Then they said: but suppose I go to your home, and light a stick of DYNAMITE and drop it in the fishtank...it would blow up your house! To clarify further...it seems, according to them, that my mind has recently increased its power so much...that in PK'ing ONE TEAM my mind is also affecting the OTHER TEAM simultaneously. === **Filename: 7011.pdf** === Page 16 of 17 2 There is just too much power issuing from my mind, blanketing the football field. Both teams are now affected. And this explains the mystery that is currently puzzling the pro football world...how come the unprecedented number of injuries this year. You see, while PK'ing a target team, such as the Jets...I ask the PK force to injure key players and get them out of the game, or the season. Out went Namath, Snell, Boozer, and lots of others. But while I was doing that, other teams were playing them. Since my power now is overlapping the other team as well...THEN THE PLAYERS OF THE OTHER TEAM ARE ALSO GETTING INJURED BY THE SAME PK. You see? Since the beginning of the season...PK'ing only five teams, but game by game those five teams playing OTHER teams...you can understand how quickly the PK reached and injured other, un-PK'd team key players. One other item of interest. In the papers today was the headline: "A-Weapons Expert Plane Crash Victim", Boulder City, Nevada (AP "A downdraft that apparently sent a small plane diving into Lake Mead took the life of Atomic Energy Commissioner Theos Thompson, America's top man in nuclear weapons development and testing...Bing Dowdy, who witnessed the crash, said the plane "suddenly nosed straight down into the water as if a giant hand were pushing it." ... "Thompson had come to Las Vegas to visit the test site and speak at a meeting of state legislators about the need for continued nuclear testing." The Si's destroyed Thompson. I warned the U.S. Government some time ago that the Si's would not stand for any more nuclear testing. But more important...I wrote to a good friend, Ross Conklin, in Las Vegas several weeks ago...and told him the Si's might send some UFO's over Nevada...and the Las Vegas area in particular...to give a demonstration! It looks like they've begun. I don't know if you remember or not...but several years ago the same thing happened when the Si's were angry with NASA. A plane flown by an astronaut crashed. A witness said that it seemed like the plane had been knocked straight downward "as if a giant hand had hit it." Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 === **Filename: 7011.pdf** === Page 17 of 17 November 26, 1970, Thanksgiving Dear Max: A report to you on the Cowboy-Packer game today. (Cowboys won.) I controlled the game completely...until the last two minutes. That is, I kept the Cowboys from scoring any touchdowns until the last two minutes...they got only one kick and the score was 3-3 until the last quarter. I held them back from getting a touchdown and they got another kick. The Packers kept making errors...dropped passes and thrown interceptions...and the Cowboys went for another touchdown, which I blocked again, but they got another kick. 9-3. (Let me explain that the Packers had no offense at all. Bart Starr couldn't throw; had an injured arm. And Don Horn, while warming up to replace him, hurt himself on the sidelines and couldn't play. So Starr bumbled all the way.) With two minutes left to play, the Packers had the ball, and a chance, anyway, to do something. Bart Starr threw the ball straight to a Cowboy, on the Packer 30. I guess that was the easiest way to solve his, Starr's problem. The Cowboys went over for an easy touchdown which I couldn't stop, and that was it. But here it is again...the PK was working...even with the Packers dropping passes by the half-dozen and losing horrible yardage with stupid penalties...I still manipulated the game until the last two minutes, allowing no touchdown on the part of the Cowboys, until that time, when it was virtually impossible to block one after the Packers made them a present of the ball close-in. If the teams I'm helping would only take advantage of the many opportunities I give them to win! But they haven't the last half-dozen games! Instead, they fumble and bumble and hand the game over to my PK'd teams. Today, for instance, the Packers had three quarters to make some scores while I was holding back the Cowboys. But all they could do was come up with 3 points. All right. The Cowboys have three games left. If I can beat them one game out of those three...they are out of it. And I will. Looks like I'm going to have a time...keeping the Dolphins, Cowboys and Chiefs away from winning the Pro Championship, the way they're going. But that's my aim. It'll be down to the wire. What they call a cliff-hanger. Best.......... Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 P.S. This is irrelevant and immaterial...but I picked up the thought of a madman in New York City today, while watching the Thanksgiving Parade...and this crazy man is thinking of using a rifle with scope to shoot people sniper-style during the Christmas parade. From the top of a tall building, he'll sharpshoot people marching in the Christmas parade. Colored fellow. Bitter against whites. Remember I just called the shot in advance here on a bombing.

Text Any textual data included in the document === **Filename: 7012.pdf** === Page 1 of 8 December 5, 1970..........TO ALL CONTACTS You-all probably read about it last week in the papers. It was all over the papers. LANCE RENTZEL, Cowboys star...and one of the best pass-catchers in all of pro football history...did a crazy thing. He pulled his pants open and exposed his genitals to a 10-year-old-girl. And the police got him. And he faces a possible 20-year jail sentence. (Please, at this point: nobody mention the "vagaries" of pro football to me. How many other star players on nonPK'd teams have been arrested by the police this year in pro football? Answer: None. He's the only one. I'm talking about a serious charge, now...not a traffic ticket.) Now I'd like to quote you from Jim Smart's write-up about me, copy of which I sent you...the "weird Ted" one. "The PK works in a thousand ways. It will get the coach fired, make the owner go bankrupt. It's a huge, monumental jinx". So the Cowboys now have lost half of their team's punch...Bob Hayes being the other half. They are now about half as effective, really, as they were. Because Lance Rentzel was so great...his just being in the game worried the other team to death. But his pass-catching was a thing of genius. No more, however. Now, you might argue thusly: Why, Owens, your attempt to take five teams apart, over a period of time, with PK...could have nothing to do with Lance Rentzel's doing a crazy thing like that (when he's married to a movie star, has everything). I'll simply refer you to a column Stan Hochman wrote about me several years ago...after he'd taken me to a football game, and I'd sent PK after one man, Tom Woodeshick (telling the PK to get Woody out of the game) and in ten minutes Woodeshick rushed out onto the field, hit a Cowboy in the face...and was thrown out of the game, by the officials. In his write-up, Stan Hochman said: "But what flash of insanity provoked him (Woodeshick) to rush off the bench with his fists flurrying. Ted Owens did it. Honest." And Hochman confirmed that I'd done what I said I'd do...get Woodeshick out. Several weeks ago...during a Cowboys game on TV that I was watching, I asked the "PK force" to get Rentzel and Hayes out for the season. (I meant, of course, with some small injury.) Well, it sure did, with Rentzel. (I've requested the PK force to get Rentzell off, somehow. Because I wouldn't want him to go to prison. I would not want to put the Cowboys down with PK...at the price of another man's freedom.) Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 Owens Thanks for your letter. Been a "PK lull" lately. Things will perk up. === **Filename: 7012.pdf** === Page 2 of 8 Monday, December 7, 1970 TO ALL CONTACTS Those of you who watched the Oakland Raiders/Jets game yesterday, I want to say that you are lucky. You saw one of my finest "PK" efforts. A miracle happen. It went this way. The Raiders/Jets game was the only game I could get on TV...containing one of the "fatal five". In addition to wishing to beat the Jets, I wanted Oakland to boost its lead over the Chiefs, or at least hold its own with the Chiefs in the standings. Well, the game was very frustrating. Like so many of the Target Team games these past few weeks, this one was the same. The PK worked on the Jets all right...yet Lamonica of the Raiders seemed bent and determined upon throwing the game away for the Raiders. He passed time and again straight to the Jet players. Sometimes there wasn't a Raider around the Jet receiver on the interception. Well, there were only eight seconds to go in the game...and the Raiders had to have a touchdown to win (by one point). I asked the PK intelligence on the field to please give me a miracle (I heartily dislike to invest several hours of PK work, intense concentration, and then fail). With a second left, Lamonica hauled off and threw the ball into the end zone. One single Raider was standing there, surrounded by three Jet players. Sure enough, Lamonica was being consistent. The ball zinged its way straight to a Jet player. The player caught the ball in his hands...then the ball leaped like a wounded rabbit out of his hands...over his shoulder...and into the hands of the surprised Oakland Raider player, for a Raider touchdown. And the Raiders won by one point. And I got my miracle from the PK intelligence on the field. (For those of you who've wondered how Blanda, week in and week out, for five straight games...won by a "miracle" in seconds each game...this is your answer. The PK is trying to drive the Raiders ahead of the powerful Chiefs). Anyway, after this touchdown, and the game won for the Raiders, the TV announcer said the Raider coach was in deep shock from the thing. You'd have had to have seen the poetic beauty of it...to really understand and appreciate it. The football acted with intelligence and direction. This was PK at its best, it's very best. And you'd better believe it! Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 Owens === **Filename: 7012.pdf** === Page 3 of 8 Dec. 12, 1970 Dr. Hynek. Dr. Sprinkle For some time...I have been looking for a situation...where I could demonstrate the psi powers that I have...without a destructive basis. I.e., do something constructive in a way that would be significant. Such has presented itself. Now, I am taking seriously the advice that Dr. Sprinkle gave you, which was to "work closely" with me. Otherwise I wouldn't be writing at this moment. In the paper today is an article "Birds Back In Greater Numbers". The article points out that approx. 12 million blackbirds, cowbirds, starlings and grackles now occupy a 40-acre pine woods at Scotland Neck, North Carolina. The Mayor requested state and federal help...but has been informed he cannot have any due to shortage of federal funds. My proposal: To use some of the 150-odd psi abilities which I possess... to make the birds leave almost immediately, and never come back. Two things there. Now, I feel that to do this properly...I should be in that 40-acre area. Ordinarily...I do my psi work from anywhere at all, since there is no limiting factor re time and space in psi work. However, I can put to use several more of my psi abilities...if I am there physically. Now this is something that is strange to me...forcing 12 million birds to get out and then not come back. Not the medium that I've been using. BUT...I'd like to try the experiment; and feel that I could be successful with it. Among the various methods of psi that I would employ...would be the communication between myself and the birds, also the communication between myself and the "instinct" that brings the birds there, which of course must necessarily have intelligence...thus can be communicated with. All in all...I would employ 15 to 20 various psi methods in the experiment. I have no car to get there. So I would have to be driven there. It would have to be from Tuesday to Friday...I'm quite occupied at this time on the weekends. Also the day I would lose from work, I can't afford to lose...$20 means a lot to my family. So that missing $20 would be a problem to us. As you might surmise...I am severely handicapped in demonstrating my abilities for scientific study, because of having no money to travel, no time to travel, and no way to travel. With my abilities, understandably, the world is actually my test-tube.

But unusual situations require unusual measures. My name is Ted Owens. In this months' Saga Magazine now on the stands, you will read that I am one of 19 of this country's top psychics. That is, there are 19 top psychics in the United States...and I am one of the 19. In Brad Steiger's book, "What The Seers Predict For 1971", now on the stands, about America's greatest psychics...you will find a chapter on my work. Coming up in March and April '71 will be two more articles in Saga Magazine on my work. And National Enquirer is planning to do an article on my work, I have been told. In brief: I am a master...the ONLY master...of what is called "psi power" in scientific circles, in the United States. I have produced and documented over 200 miracles; thus miracles have become commonplace to me. Am sure that I can bring about two things: (1) Cause all of the birds in Scotland Neck (and the rest of North Carolina) to leave, not to return this winter or spring. And (2) Cause those same birds to stay away from your area completely from here on out in time. If you are interested, here is what to do: Arrange for transportation for me to Scotland Neck. A bus will do, or whatever. Arrange for a place to stay for me for three days, plus food. Arrange for a member of the town to drive me out to where the birds nest at night, each night for three nights. (Oh, and when I arrive in Scotland Neck you will give me $200 to cover my time and effort involved). Also my bus ticket or whatever will be round-trip, to get me back to Norfolk. If I am successful in making all of the birds leave Scotland Neck within 30 days...that is, 30 days from the time of my 3-day attack on them...you will send me a check to Norfolk for a thousand dollars. I.e., when I attack the birds, they might leave immediately...or it might take two or three weeks to get the job done. (I'll be gone home; but the power I leave there will keep on working and accelerating). If you would like to check with someone who knows of my work... you can call Mr. Otto Binder, famous author, who is completely familiar with my work.

I've kept my promise...by beating you with my mind (see Saga Magazine, August and September 1970; also coming March and April Saga)...and NOW YOU KNOW PK MAN. ---------- TO THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Several years ago, when Jerry Wolman still owned your team...Stan Hochman asked me, face to face, if a change in the ownership of the Eagles...plus a new coach...plus new personnel...could stop my PK attack on the Eagles. I told him then, instantly...that it could not stop the PK attack. Result: You've had a new coach; new owner; new personnel...and you are 3-10-1 on the season. How very lousy can you get? As I told Stan then, and as I tell you now...NOTHING can stop my mind from beating you, year in and year out. ---------- TO THE NEW YORK JETS I wrote you and told you at the beginning of the season...that this year I would beat your team with my mind...by causing injuries to key members of your team...take it apart slowly...so that it could not win the pro championship. You had your entire backfield wiped out...Namath, Snell, etc., AND YOU JUST HAD THE WORST SEASON OF YOUR ENTIRE HISTORY. Any questions? NOW YOU TOO KNOW PK MAN. ---------- I've never tried to stop five teams before in a season with my mind. There are two teams left. Miami and Dallas. I've eliminated three. Next weekend will tell...whether I'm able to wipe out all five or not. Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 === **Filename: 7012.pdf** === Page 6 of 8 Date: 12/28/70 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I received a letter from Ted Owens (PK Man) on November 5, 1970, as follows: "Dear Ross: For the first time...you are going to be able to see...what the real, terrible powers of the Si's are. Not controlling pro football teams now, nor making storms, or making lightning strike, or UFO's appear. This is big, really big. THE SI'S ARE GOING TO MAKE IT HORRIBLE AND IMPOSSIBLE...FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE, OR EVEN STAY, IN THE STATE OF NEVADA. The "bullseye" will be Las Vegas, Nevada...where the Si's will be nearby, unseen, beaming down certain rays to offset the laws of chance...and influence visitors' minds to literally hate Las Vegas...to leave Las Vegas and never come back. Also there will be a UFO near Reno, doing the same thing. There will be two other UFO's moving around, running other people out of other parts of Nevada. NEVADA WILL BE IN TIME AHEAD THE MOST ISOLATED STATE OF THE UNION. From now on, everything will go wrong in Nevada. The state will lose money, even go broke. (Yes, even with the gambling). People will be unhappy, miserable, unlucky, there. They will want to leave, without knowing why, even. Especially in Las Vegas and Reno. The weather will get freaky and bad. EVERYTHING will get bad in Nevada. No people...will wish to stay, and they will move out. The water will get bad, and scarce. Illness and sickness will spread. Cause unknown. This will be one of the most marked demonstrations that the Si's have ever given. And if the thugs and hoods think that by eliminating me, PK Man with a "hit"...they are badly mistaken. Nothing can call this back, or reverse this, except me, PK Man...the only human who can talk and communicate with the Si's. So if I'm gone... so is Nevada forever...with no chance of recall. This will be a modern "Sodom and Gomorrah" demonstration...with the only difference being in method. And as far as I am concerned...it couldn't happen to a better place. For I've been there, and know the place. Ugh and ickh. The only persons who will be safe in Nevada...will be those carrying a Si disc. They will not be affected. All other people...will be made to leave Nevada as surely as positive and negative poles reject each other. I have no way of knowing what the time factor on this will be. We'll have to see. But the outcome is as certain...as my PK === **Filename: 7012.pdf** === Page 7 of 8 2 work on pro football teams. /S/ Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 This is to certify that I have this letter in my files, and I have quoted it word for word. Also, I live in Las Vegas...it is my home. One week after receiving this letter from Owens...there was a riot in downtown Las Vegas, in the rich casino district, involving a hundred negros. Fighting spread throughout a twelve-block area, and twelve people were hurt. Windows were broken, purses were snatched and cars were smashed with rocks and bottles. Sixty-five policemen tried, unsuccessfully, to stop all the rioting. (This was 7 days after Owens' letter). Two weeks later, Atomic Energy Commissioner Theos Thompson, America's top man in nuclear weapons development and testing, was killed while visiting Las Vegas to speak at a meeting of the state legislators in favor of continued nuclear testing... in a plane crash at nearby Lake Mead. A boat captain who witnessed the crash said that Thompson's plane was flying over the lake when it suddenly nosed straight down into the water "as if a giant hand was pushing it." (This blow to America's nuclear program came exactly twenty-one days after I received Owens' letter.) At about this same time, Howard Hughes, internationally famous financier...suddenly left Las Vegas, where he had been staying for years at the Desert Inn...reputedly to go to the Brittania Hotel, 6th Floor, on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Following the departure of Hughes...all hell broke loose in Las Vegas. The people working for Hughes in Las Vegas (Hughes owns several of the biggest gambling casinos) split into two factions and began fighting with each other (legally). Then it got into the newspapers...all of this trouble...plus the fact that Hughes had discovered there were gangsters that had infiltrated into his gambling operations, and that his gambling games had been corrupted. (Bad bad publicity for Las Vegas). All of this mess, which has been brought to national attention in the newspapers...is still going on. And on December 13, 1970, the following article appeared in national newspapers: "U.S. Agents Raid Gambling In 26 Cities". ...."A prime target was Las Vegas, Nevada, where agents arrested two executives of plush Caesars Palace, a gambling casino... Three Las Vegas betting houses were raided...A department spokesman said Sandford Waterman, executive vice president of === **Filename: 7012.pdf** === Page 8 of 8 3 Caesars Palace, was arrested at the casino and Elliott Paul Price, casino executive host, was arrested in his car in Las Vegas. ( This action took place just a little over a month after receiving Owens' letter ) It seem to me to be obvious, then that summing up all that has happened... since receiving Owens' letter... that Owens' letter was absolutely accurate. It is also my belief that Owens' did in fact bring this all about... simply because nothing like this has or had happened before Owens' letter. ---------- I state that this notarized document is true and accurate in its entirety.

I have the 'Nevada PK Project," the "Pratt PK Project", the "Pro Football PK Project" and the NASA PK Project". Today am adding still another. Last night my boy, age 8, and me watched a TV show which showed how the animals are being killed off around the world...to where there are a very few left. We watched a mother polar bear romping happily with her two cubs...until a helicopter landed, men jumped out, and pumped bullet after bullet into the mother bear...which fell, helpless, able only to call out to her two little ones which huddled nearby in fear. We watched while a big brave cowboy riding herd on a bunch of cattle unlimbered his rifle and shot a tiny prairie dog, which fell backward...tried in vain to "talk" with its paws...then was blown into the air with a second shot. At this point my little boy was screaming in horror...tears streaming down his face...begging me not to let any more be killed. Next scene was big brave hunters surrounding some seals, which were frolicking with their young. Obviously the seals didn't know about what kind of living thing the humans were, nearby. The humans beat their brains out with clubs...mama seal, daddy, seal, then baby seals. At this point my boy was hysterical. He's queer. He loves tiny animals..or any animals, for that matter. We watched natives slaughter giraffes; we watched humans slaughter kangaroos, with the baby still in it's pouch; and so on and on. It was the absolute worst program I've ever watched. And yet...since it was truth, told through the camera's eyes...it set fire to a fury inside me unmatched by anything ever in my life. There is one thing...I wish to interject here...which I have not told you. Psi-power (PK mechanisms), besides not being limited by time, distance or mass...ARE OMNISCIENT AND OMNIPRESENT. I'll wait until you look those up, if you don't know what they mean. Let me spell it out. When I "PK" Joe Doakes...that means I send powers and mechanisms which cannot be seen, smelled, tasted, felt, or heard...to make a disaster area out of Joe Doakes. And the outcome is absolutely inevitable. It's just a matter of when. The "PK" has unlimited intelligence to fulfill its mission...and in case Joe Doakes changes his geographical location...the PK is everywhere at once. Okay. So here is what I am now doing. I AM SENDING FORTH, ISSUEING, PK MECHANISMS (PSI FORCE) TO ATTACK HUNTERS ALL OVER THE WORLD...in effect, I am arming every animal in this world which might be hunted, no matter how small, or how big, with a weapon far deadlier than the hunter's gun. Let me spell it out. From now on, whenever a big brave cowboy takes out his rifle and blows out the brains of a small, innocent prairie dog...immediately that cowboy is an accident waiting to happen...to be paid off in the same coin as he killed the prairie dog! If a hunter kills a little seal...same thing. If a business executive kills a bear, or a wolf, or anything at all...same thing. Just a matter of time until he gets the same thing from the PK force stalking him! He'll just get it...in a different place...under different conditions. In short...from now on...any hunter that kills any animal, creature or bird...which he doesn't have to eat to live...will be himself killed, destroyed, by a PK force which will follow him, stalk him, until it brings it about! I'm not interested in people who have to make their living by selling skins. Or any other parts of animals. If they kill, they will be killed. The PK === Page 3 of 15 2 will take care of these hunters, these people, automatically. Let me make this clear: if hunters want target practice...let them shoot at tin cans or paper targets. THEY HAD BETTER NOT SHOOT AT ANIMALS OR BIRDS UNLESS THEY HAVE TO HAVE THE GAME TO EAT TO LIVE! This is the absolute rule: only persons who have to have food, game, to eat to live...will be safe from this omnipresent, omniscient psi-power guard over the animals. Any other persons...will be ruthlessly destroyed, after they ruthlessly destroy any animal or bird unnecessarily. Now...I have already issued this PK attack...but one thing remains to be done which is quite important. WARN PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD THAT THIS IS IN EFFECT. To do this...I have only one way. Otto Binder is doing some articles on my work in Saga Magazine. I am herewith begging Otto to include this intelligence, this information, in one of the forthcoming articles...so that hunters will be warned. I don't care if hunters laugh at what I say...it's like laughing while shooting Indians at Custer's last stand. If Otto can get this in to Saga...it will save a lot of people's lives. Because the PK attack is already out, unleashed...and each and every animal in the world is now armed and ready...even though it doesn't know it. As soon as that animal is killed by a hunter, no matter where in the world it is...if it is unnecessary...the PK will then attack and destroy the human hunter. Just as a matter of human interest...my little boy begged me last night to do just this...it was HIS idea. He said, "Daddy, please use your PK to keep all the little animals from being killed!" With tears in his eyes. And I agreed with him; wholeheartedly and completely. And so be it. -- Before I forget...I have a new phone number...855-2843. Better mark that down. One last thought: watched the Senior Bowl today. They made a big mistake. Put Weeb Ewbank, coach of the Jets, in charge of a team. Of course his team lost...because he's saturated with "attack PK". That's it for now. You can look...in time ahead...for a spate of deadly "accidents" involving hunters...unless Otto Binder can get the word out in time, on a national level. Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Va. 23514 === Page 4 of 15 January 2, 1971 TO ALL CONTACTS You haven't heard from me for some time...not because I've been idle with psi work...but because I've been too broke to buy stamps, paper, envelopes and time...to write all 35 of you. This year...am going to ask you to send me $10 each to cover the year's expenses of getting my material (magazines, books, letters, etc.) out to you. (Scientists are excluded from this). Enclosed is a notarized affidavit from Mr. Conklin in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Si's and I decided to exert psi force on the state of Nevada in November '70. Since Mr. Conklin is my only contact in that state...I notified him, as the self-explanatory affidavit explains. BUT SOMETHING MUST BE ADDED TO THE AFFIDAVIT, to the catastrophes that have hit Nevada and Las Vegas SINCE MY LETTER OF NOTIFICATION TO THAT INTENT, as follows: 12/9/70..."DUST CLOUD FOLLOWED 'NORMAL'N-BLAST"...Mercury, Nevada (AP)..."Baneberry, the code name for the Atomic Energy Commission's 230th announced underground nuclear test here since 1963, went off normally and created a spherical cavern 900 feet below the desert sand. WHAT FOLLOWED FIVE MINUTES LATER FRIDAY WASN'T NORMAL. The AEC said pressure from the blast, equivalent to detonation of about 20,000 tons of TNT, SPEWED RADIOACTIVE DUST FROM THE SHAFT IN WHICH THE NUCLEAR DEVICE HAD BEEN PLACED. A DIRTY BROWN COLUMN OF DUST AROSE AND WITHIN MINUTES REACHED 8,000 FEET. WITHIN HOURS IT SPREAD OVER 1,000 SQUARE MILES..." Later a newsclip said cows' milk in Nevada had been found to be radioactive. Some time ago I wrote the government, from the Si's...and WARNED the government that the Si's would not stand for any more nuclear test explosions. This horrible accident, above, and the new Si (psi force) attack on Nevada.. plus the killing of Atomic Energy Commissioner Thompson, America's top man in nuclear testing...is the Si answer to the government's ignoring of my letter to them. Also enclosed is an article about me and my work by Larry Maddry, columnist for the Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk, Virginia. Although it is written tongue-in-cheek style, Maddry knows what I can do. I have given him one heck of a demonstration this past summer (though it was primarily for Otto Binder, Maddry was here on the spot and sweated out the lightning attacks, etc.) It is humorous that he and his family out on the water with his boat named "Lightning" got caught up in one of my furious storms. Ha ha ha! Now let's talk about pro football, and the use of my mind to control five certain teams so that they could not win the World's Pro Championship this year. By this writing I have eliminated four out of the five, just having held down the Miami Dolphins so that they could be beaten (they're an exceptionally tough, persistent team to beat with psi power...but I've done it). I told Larry Maddry before the season began that I would knock out these teams, and told him specifically that I would cause key injuries to the Jets to take them apart...and when they got into their season this year their entire backfield, Namath, Snell, etc., got wiped out! with injuries. Tomorrow I must attack the Dallas Cowboys with my mind and do my best to beat them. I held them to only 5 points last week...but their opponents, the Lions, didn't score one touchdown...and lost. Remember, my psi force can't pick up the ball and make touchdowns for the opponents. Tomorrow the 49'rs have to do their share of the work...and if they do, the psi power of my mind added will crush the Cowboys. If not, I'll get 'em the following week for sure. === Page 5 of 15 (Note: P. 1 was written Saturday. This is now Monday. The Cowboys on yesterday. My PK worked fine...but the 49r QB, Brodie...gave the game away...threw the ball to a Cowboy on his, 49r, 17 yard line and of course the Cowboys went on in. It seemed deliberate; not an accident. He's the best passer in pro football; and I've played football myself, pads and all (had a player killed close to me during a game); anyway Brodie flung this pass straight to the Cowboy, only about 6-8 yards away. The PK cannot help a team that beats itself. It was this gift of 7 points to the Cowboys that was the winning edge. You can't give 7 points to the other team in a championship playoff and hope to win. Now I have only one more chance to stop the Cowboys; in the Superbowl.) You remember my writing to you...about Lance Rentzel, star on the Cowboys, exposing his genitals to a minor and getting put out of action by the law. Okay. December 15 on my "fatal five" list put out of action in a weird way. Nate Ramsey, of the Eagles, was on the street when a man walked up to him, pulled out a pistol, said "I'm going to kill you" and shot him right in the chest. No warning. Ramsey's wife said it was "unreal". She couldn't believe it. I'm happy to say Ramsey lived, and is getting well now. But these two cases...are cases in point of how PK stalks and attacks in different ways...not necessarily always on the football field. Several years ago when I was PK'ing the Eagles hot and heavy in Philly, an Eagles player stood up in the Eagle dressing room just after a game...and caught his head on a hook on the wall...and ripped his head wide open. They had to take many many stitches in it. A news reporter printed "the Eagles aren't even safe in their own dressing room". And the reporter was right. Leonard Tose of the Eagles, Dec. 18, '70, told reporters: "If you know a guy who is capable of winning 10 games here, I'd hire him". Now, he was referring to a coach. BUT I AM CAPABLE OF WINNING 10 GAMES A YEAR FOR THE EAGLES. So...why doesn't he hire me, and keep the coach he has? It's the PK that's beating the Eagles; not the coach. Okay. Nuff about that. Add confirm to my Nevada PK Project...January 3, 1971, newsclip re Nevada "...tied a record low temperature for Jan. 3 with 11 below zero early Sunday morning.." (Note my mention of radical weather in my Nevada PK "prediction".) I want to get something on record here. For years I've been studying a phenomenon, and have acquired enough material on it, to substantiate my theory. A PERSON'S NAME...CAN DETERMINE, MAKE, SHAPE THE LIFE OF THAT PERSON! Let me explain. Dick BUT...KUS, of the Chicago Bears team, is famous for hitting and butting people! Charlie WINNER, a pro football coach, was hired to coach a pro team because he is a winner! WAR...WICK is the name of another pro football player, rough and tough. He's in a war of sorts constantly. HARDMAN is another pro football player who delights in slamming people just like Butkus does. He's developed into a 'hard man'. Bart STARR became a star...pro football player. Tops. And so on. Just today in a newsclip I noted that the government prosecutor against a man who allegedly committed murder in Saigon while a soldier...is named Capt. John FAIR...LEY. Fairley. His job is to see that justice is done...that things are fair. I could go on and on. But this fact is concrete: name a little boy COWARD, and he'll grow up to either BE an actual coward, or will fight that name subconsciously all his life and go to the other extreme to be a hero in the armed forces or such. === Page 6 of 15 I want to go a little further with my findings. I've discovered that criminal after criminal...killers, kidnappers, etc, after they've been caught...are found to have messages tattooed on them. "BORN TO LOSE", or a picture of a dagger with blood dripping, things like that. I am convinced that the body of the person so tattooed...acts on these tattooed messages (since all body cells have intelligence), thinking that that person wanted such a future...AND BROUGHT IT TO PASS FOR THAT PERSON! Here's another case for my "name theory"; Dec. 27, '70, police in Honolulu caught three men for killing a young girl. One of the killers is named... JESSE JAMES Bates! See what I mean? On the same page of the newspaper is another story, in Baltimore, Maryland... a man killed another man and hacked up the body into pieces. The killer's name? William C. HACKER! Okay. That covers that. But someday when the brilliant scientists discover that people actually act out in their lives...their own names...remember that PK Man told you first. Whether you know it or not...I informed the government some years ago that the Si's would reflect MY OWN financial condition and well-being...onto the entire United States! If I am poor, then the Si's will cause the U.S. to be ten times as poor as I am. Please note the condition of the country at this time. And...I am very very poor. Barely making it day by day. Funny...that nobody will believe the Si's. Also a few years ago the Si's told me to tell the government..."The Si's say how would you (the govt.) like to lose NASA?" Now I quote from an article in the paper by Howard Benedict a few days ago: "Cape Kennedy, Fla. (AP)" "After years of success, the United States space program turned sour in 1970...near disaster struck the Apollo 13 mission in April...because of the accident, Apollo 14 was delayed until 1971...the trouble also caused an already-stingy Congress to cut deeper into the budget of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. As a result, two of the six remaining Apollo moon flights were canceled...many scientists were unhappy...NASA launched only 12 rockets in 1970...three of the 12 shots failed, including the loss in November of a $98.5 million astronomical observatory (OGO), the most expensive unmanned satellite ever built. Obviously unhappy with the lack of support from Congress, NASA administrator Thomas O. Paine (note that name. Ted.) resigned in September. President Nixon has been unable to find a successor. "We are at the peril point," Paine said of space funding and the loss of competent personnel. Thousands of NASA and contractor workers were laid off as space employment dropped to 145,000 from a peak of 420,000 in 1966." When oh when, I wonder...will the U.S. Govt. pay attention to what I tell it? How many billions must it lose...how much grief must it endure...until it discovers that giving PK Man the little that he needs to carry out Si orders... would have saved them, the govt., all those billions and all that grief? -- At this point let me interject here: The Si's are happy that their story is now slowly coming to public notice...Saga magazine, perhaps a book soon, and National Enquirer is getting ready to do a piece...so neither I nor the Si's... will hit the oncoming Apollo shot with lightning or otherwise cripple the shot (sweating out getting the astronauts back as before). No. This shot is "on the Si's" and they'll actually help in every way possible. Anything goes wrong...will be man-made; not Si or PK Man made. They have to help...because although the grid mechanism that was put up over Cape K years ago, a PK psi mechanism, was dismantled...still the PK effects linger on. And the Si's have to help the shot clear these effects. === Page 7 of 15 (I hope that you appreciate all this work in this letter. It will take a full day to type it to 35 people; make all the copies, etc. What I could do with a secretary and a Xerox!) Today in the paper...was an article that now the government is concerned with toilets that flush...and waste yea billions of gallons of precious water, now that water is getting scarce. 15 years ago I told my then wife, Pat Owens (now Pat Shannon) that this would come to pass...scarcity of water in time ahead...and I worked out a tiny incinerator set inside a commode...with a tightly-shutting door when a lever is pressed...so that the contents of the commode would incinerate, the human waste, thus negating the need for the sewers, water, etc. But I didn't know how to go about patenting it and all the rest, so I dropped the project. -- Here is another thing I want on the record: an answer to the mysterious crib deaths that kill so many babies each year. What causes it...are chemicals in the detergents used to launder the sheets on the baby's crib...the baby inhales the toxic chemicals...and since the baby hasn't yet matured enough to overcome the effects of the fumes...it sets up a toxic reaction in the baby which acts like pneumonia and kills it. Probably mostly when it is lying face down...gets it the quickest. I'd like to bet you...that one of these days scientists will confirm that I'm correct! -- Here's another interesting thing; lately people I've been sending discs to report that UFOs have been seen over their city! Olga Marchant in San Diego sent me newsclips to that effect...AND STRANGE GREEN HUMANOID CREATURES WERE SEEN ON THE STREETS THERE...by police, even! Also Hank Paski just sent me a newsclip that five UFOs were seen over Anchorage, where he lives, by three city policemen, as well as many other people who reported them. They could not have been helicopters; this was checked out. The Air Force reported it had no planes up at that time. The FAA said they'd seen the lights, but that nothing was on radar. The Weather Bureau said conditions were too weak to produce such phenomena. And the newsclip ended with "So until somebody can come up with a good reason, Anchorage might as well keep checking out the skies at about the 2,000-foot level, just in case". (This was from the Anchorage Daily News, Dec. 14, 1970). Both Hank and Olga wear my Si disc around their necks. And yet still another. Phyllis Lynch, Box 538, GPO Bronx, 10451, NY, NY, writes me that she received my disc and put it on, then: "When I first wore the necklace, my little ones and I were on the subway on our way to the uptown Bronx. As I got off the 219th St. Station, I was attracted to a man and a little retarded girl. I was watching her reactions as he was talking to her. As we were walking up 219th St. this man and little girl were looking up towards the sky. Then my children and I looked up. There up there I saw something like three stars and a cloud-like halo (remember the UFO halo seen over Norfolk this past summer? Ted.) around this vehicle hovering over the area. There was no sound because I said to him, gee, I hear no sound up there. He said no you don't. Then after a few minutes it left the scene. Directly after that an airplane appeared and left. I take it that it might have been a flying saucer. It dawned on me then maybe that is what it was." And she was wearing my disc, same as Olga and Hank! -- Now, before closing...I have something most important to put on record. I awoke about a month ago...and was aware that, as had happened before, the Si's had been teaching me, talking to me, in my sleep. And it was fresh in my mind! === Page 8 of 15 (Incidentally, before I forget...if anyone wants to check with Pat Shannon re my prediction 15 years ago (approx.) that water would become precious and scarce...and there would be a need for a commode-incinerator...she lives at 17405 112th NE, Kirkland, Washington. She's a pleasant person, and am sure she will remember and confirm this.) Back to what the Si's told me in my sleep. We are just at this time making startling discoveries re psi force. As a scientist recently stated, psi force could be the fifth greatest power in the universe! Russia is far ahead of us. I'm the only human in America with practical experience in using it, and researching it, in action conditions. No doubt about that. I'm not talking about countless dice experiments, now. I'm talking about hitting rockets that are going up with PK mechanisms to make them fall down. I've done that successfully. Even hit one with lightning; documented. I'm talking about guiding hurricanes successfully; even making triple simultaneous hurricanes; I've done that and documented it. No one in the world can even begin to approach what I know about psi force and its usage in actual application. Not even in Russia. All right. But...Moses brought about such phenomena. So did Ezekial. Both claimed "the Lord" made it happen, and they were human representatives like me. So...it has happened before. And in Egypt...curses were put on tombs...that hundreds or thousands of years later killed those who violated the tombs in odd, weird ways. (Same PK as that I can use...I know it and understand it as if I'd been there at that time). Okay. I wrote the U.S. Govt. a few years ago and WARNED it that if the Egyptian pyramids were flooded (as was the plan) that ancient PK in those pyramids would reach out and destroy those that caused it. Please note...the deadly situation in that area today! Couple of years ago I wrote the big museum in New York, where that Miami burglar broke in so daringly...that if that museum had in fact pieces taken from Egyptian tombs that had been PK'd long long ago...that the PK would react on the area around those pieces! Since I wrote, note what has happened to New York! So many bad things I won't even go into it. If you don't know, you haven't been reading the papers. I.e., PK'd objects (and if they were in those tombs long ago, then removed, they are saturated with destruct-PK) can be taken to far away places...causing chaos and havoc at those far away places! In the other countries where these pieces are taken, the PK'd articles do their deadly work...causing dissension, murder, violence, war...perhaps to the ultimate point of exterminating everyone in that country, because the PK curse is not limited to time or space or mass! Another point: Ages ago...humans might have used psi force (PK mechs) in our own geographical location (U.S.) Now, PK never dies! That is, the destruct form of psi phenomena simply keeps on growing with time! Suppose one of our cities was the site of an ancient, psi-force war. Today...that city would be dogged by crime, murder, killing, deadly accidents, etc. Even a spot on some highway...long long ago that was a psi-force target...today that spot would be weirdly marked by one auto accident after another. (I've read of spots just like that). Furthermore, a human being could unwittingly walk through an ancient PK'd area, still existing today only much more powerful now than then...and that human would then be a deadly accident waiting to happen somewhere soon. Do you know what I mean? If not, write to me and I'll try to clarify it. === Page 9 of 15 ...psi force...is just like an x-ray superimposed over an area. Invisible, it can't be noted by any human senses. It is entirely probable that animals can sense it being there. The malignant, deadly psi force...even left from ages past...still alive and still growing in power. Oh, before it skips my mind...have something humorous to tell you. I recently wrote to a professor in a western university...and offered to let the university hire me as a teacher in psychology and parapsychology. (I can flat guarantee you...that I have a thousand times to offer, what the usual prof in psychology and parapsychology has to offer. Because my education and practical experimentation in these fields...has begun where all the others have left off.) The professor wrote back a letter patiently pointing out that I have no academic title or background for teaching such, thus it could not be. But, he added...perhaps I could write about it. I nearly fell off my chair laughing. Think of it! The priceless knowledge which I alone have, with regard to psi phenomena...and wanted to pass on to others in the U.S. My ability as a memory expert, to teach others how to memorize entire books, magazines, tests, facts, etc. My ability as probably the world's best in the field of hypnotism...with the secrets the Si's have given me...to pass on in the classroom to bright pupils. My terrific ability with ESP...PK and precog. and all the rest...which I could pass on to pupils, the know-how and the practical usage. REJECTED. Oh, if I'm lucky I can write it down sometime...that is, when I'm not working yea-hours a day typing on papers to make a buck, with no secretary, no time...to do so. And give it as a gift to humanity. Ha ha. You know something...I'LL JUST KEEP IT ALL TO MYSELF, and that will serve the rest of humanity right! Several years ago I wrote to NASA and warned them...that Russia might be able to attack NASA space flights with psi force, just as I could...and that I would be glad to go down to NASA and give them an educational lecture on just what psi force can do. THEY DIDN'T EVEN ANSWER! Now, of course, it has just come out in that recent Argosy article...what Russia can do with psi force. And what has happened to NASA since I wrote to them...they fully deserve! Back to what the Si's told me re psi force, overnight: The "Bermuda Triangle" where planes and ships have vanished...was, long ago, the geographical location of a powerful psi force attack...the most powerful in the earth's history. Since the power was never dissipated..it keeps on attacking ships, planes and people! The Si's explained that an OBJECT or a PLACE can be PK'd with psi force... deliberately to destroy civilization there hundreds or thousands of years later...since the PK grows and expands in time, space and mass, as time passes. And they say this WAS done long ago, by someone or some thing, that knew what I know today! They said THAT I COULD DO THIS, BRING THIS ABOUT MYSELF. (But I know the Si's...they wouldn't consider me a fit instrument of theirs, if I did such a thing. And of course I won't.) Also want to mention before closing...that consistently, TV sports events, one after another that I'm watching...TV technical difficulties lose the picture, lose the sound. It's either my Si-powered-brain doing it, or the "grid" I placed over Norfolk last summer doing it (although I've since tried to take the grid down. I know very little about removing PK, actually.) I PREDICT...THAT AMERICA IS IN FOR A TERRIBLE BLOW...within 30 days! Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS, Norfolk, Virginia 23514 === Page 10 of 15 January 14, 1971 TO ALL CONTACTS I think I'm off my rocker...for wasting my precious time, and going to the necessary expense...to send all 35 of you this particular letter. But am going to do it anyway. As you know, Brad Steiger gave me a chapter in his recent book, "What The Seers Predict for 1971!"..I knew what he wanted...but I chose instead to lay out the long-range future of the U.S. as I saw it, precognitively. In this letter I will get back to the herd...and give you my precog impressions of this specific year, 1971, coming up from this date. GOVERNMENT There's an old saying in playing poker in the Navy..."down and dirty" for the last card in a five-card stud game. Or was it seven. Anyway...this year is IT for the U.S. Government. As everything collapses around it, the govt. will be unable to cope. And as it becomes unable to cope, the people will lose all confidence in it...become infuriated with it...and reject it. To be more specific...as everything goes broke everywhere (due to years of U.S. flushing yea billions of dollars down the give-away drain) the govt. will not be able to stop the runaway car going down the hill without brakes...and it will crash at the bottom. Kaput government. This year the U.S. economy will FAIL (Nixon's prognosticating notwithstanding) and yea businesses will go broke. Railroads will throw up their hands; banks fail; the stock market will hit bottom and for all practical purposes go out of business because (1) people won't have money to buy stocks and (2) even if they did they won't trust stocks anymore after this year. -- The govt. will shuck Admirals, Generals, Colonels, etc., off the cob galore. Tough year for the brass. The govt. won't be able to afford keeping them on the payroll after this year. -- Younger members of the govt. (Congressmen, Senators, etc.) are going to drive the older members (in the majority) nuts this year...going for changes in government setup. (Long overdue; and, like a tonsillectomy for an adult...it should have been done when the adult was a young child. Now...the changes are going to be painful...if there's time before utter destruction of our government setup.) And of course the old men in govt. will fight back, no holds barred...to stop progress. An old story. -- President Nixon may not be able to survive this coming year, strange as that may seem now. He hasn't an inkling how fast everything will escalate to knock Humpty Dumpty off the wall. And Humpty Dumpty he will be. Unfortunately. He hasn't paid attention. -- Making matters worse, REVOLUTION in the U.S. will rear its deadly head this year as it has never done in our history...and strike in a deadly manner with cobra venom in its fangs. This will drive the govt. to even more distraction, considering all its other shattering problems which it must face...and can't possibly solve. -- Some top government men will die. I believe six will. Men of top status. This from militant action and revolutionary force. Agnew will probably be one, for starters. Senators and Congressmen had better hire bodyguards, as of right now. === Page 11 of 15 2 BUSINESS Generally speaking...business will completely fall apart and go bust in 1971. Small businesses will go into bankruptcy everywhere. Only huge corporations may be able to hold on...yet many of them will sink, too. Banks will fail here, there and everywhere. The stock market will fail. People will "run" on the stock market, eager to get out what they can and put it in a shoe box in their backyard. Unemployment will shoot up, skyrocket, in 1971...as prices shoot up and skyrocket, yet salaries of workers remain much the same. And the workers will rebel, and strike, and confusion and chaos will spread all over the country as this occurs. The Mafia and the Syndicate will have a hay-day...they'll be in clover. Why? Because they have all the money they want...their problem is how to get rid of it legally. This will be their BIG chance. As small businesses fail, the crooks will snap them up. As corporations fail, the crooks will take them over. As people desperately cash in on their real estate holdings everywhere...the crooks will gladly buy it everywhere. What will the police be doing all this time? Either striking, quitting, or joining the crooks. (In the majority, that is.) Even many good government agency men (thus far) will go over to Mafia and Syndicate "take"...because in near time coming up they can be bought. THE MILITARY This huge, all-powerful complex which has so dominated the American scene... will get its come-uppance this year. As the government breaks down...and as business breaks down...the "glue" holding the military together (money to pay its salaries) will vanish...and the military will fall apart, in the main. Our Navy, Army and Marine forces will shrink...just as those of France and England shrunk when those countries went bust, finally. What will be left...will be a skeleton force...barely able to cope with any conventional war anywhere. It will be loaded down with nuclear weapons; yet unable to use them. And too broke to fight a conventional war. And the worst blow of all...the people of the U.S. will turn their backs on the U.S. military en masse. THE WEATHER Twin hurricanes will smash into Florida in the 1971 season. Or one into Florida and one into a nearby state...a near miss for the second. It will be nip and tuck which happens. Anyway, disaster for Florida. California will be stricken with fire, flood and quake as it has never been stricken before. And in the summer...white-hot heat will sear the midwest...and the west...as it has never been seared before. Terrible heat. Drought will lie all over the land. Water will be scarce; never mind if it's polluted anyway. What's left, will be scarce...and the selling of water will become GREAT BIG BUSINESS. And with the heat and scarcity of water...will come the wiping out of livestock on a wholesale basis in the midwest and west, as a natural result. Also in spring and summer...rodents and insects will gang up over the country...causing chaos and havoc among the farms, and the country as a whole. === Page 12 of 15 PERSONALITIES Since Larry Maddry and others so yearn...for predictions re famous personalities...then of course I must provide same. I wouldn't want to be considered "different" from the other commercial psychics I keep company with (I'm not commercial, or didn't you know that). Jackie Kennedy Onassis...will probably be found with her throat cut...or dead from "too many sleeping pills" this year. Anyway, she'll be swept out of the way by the types she's been keeping company with...who find her too expensive to keep on; too little fun and games coming from her; and to make room for others with more sweet honey in the comb. Or she may be put away as a mental case, surprisingly as that may sound. Anyway...kaput Jackie. Richard Burton will reach far down into the manhood Liz Taylor has long stomped on...and beat the hell out of la Taylor and leave her...perhaps before she ruins him utterly and completely and finally. And after Burton, she will not be able to find another mate, because she will be in too bad a shape, physically. Burton will be the last she'll have. I believe Frank Sinatra will pass away this year. Dean Martin will have to have major surgery...and will barely live, but he's tough. Chest difficulty. However, make it he will. Bing Crosby...will pass away this year. Bob Hope...will have to have major surgery; and give up any future road shows or world travels for good. But he'll live. Billy Graham...will be hospitalized and probably have to have surgery. He will give up all of his huge road-show and hoop-la...and get back to being the good man he used to be, quite a long while back...making occasional appearances and writing books of an inspirational nature. But he has a bad heart...and it could sign off anytime. There. I hope I've covered enough famous personalities up there to satisfy those who demand such trifles. THE WORLD It will be Russia's big year. The bear has been deploying chess pieces all over the globe...many moves ahead of the U.S. in this particular chess game...and 1971 will see Russia putting the U.S. into one checkmate after another. Keeping the U.S. in check. And beads of desperate sweat will spring out on the forehead of the U.S., as it sees how Russia has outmaneuvered the U.S. practically everywhere. Cuba will become internationally significant this year, as the U.S. has to admit to its people that Russia has loaded Cuba with weapons of terrible destruction...and we can't really do a dam thing about it. Unless we want to have some of our major cities wiped out in trying to defang Cuba. China will become at last a major military power of the world...and link up with Russia, no matter what the "experts" say now that Russia and China will fight. No they won't...not until they've mutually settled our hash, the U.S. And this year they'll really go into high gear in doing just that. As the U.S. breaks down, economically and politically, this year...the bear and the dragon will bring out its muscle against us...aces they have in the hole that our people are not even aware of. And this country will be faced with real, honest, live or die choices. The African negros, urged on and helped by Russia, will turn on and destroy whites living there. In the Caribbean area... (continued) === Page 13 of 15 the natives of Haiti, Jamaica, etc., will subtly slip poisons into the food and drink of Americans and British...and otherwise chastise the tourists there...until the area becomes their own once more. They are doing this now...but each visiting American that drops dead is labeled a "heart attack". Bad for business, you know. However, this will escalate until it gets out into the open...and Americans and British will get the hell out of those islands, and leave it to the natives who had it in the first place. As you might guess, this will all become well-organized in order to make it work; and it will work. Even the Syndicate and the Mafia will have to throw up their hands and get out, real estate deals and gambling notwithstanding. Mexico...which has had two faces for so long...one friendly to the U.S., yet more than friendly to the Communists...will swing over to strong communism this year. Openly. Canada will become openly hostile toward the U.S. this year, and cut off the flood of Americans going up there. Trouble over pollution of water in Lake Erie and thereabouts...will cause Canada to have second thoughts about contact with the U.S. in any way, shape or form. Canada will, in effect, draw together an iron curtain of its own, for its own protection. Against the U.S. South American countries will really turn on America this year. As our money becomes less and less...South America will get tougher and tougher with Americans and American companies. I should say, Latin America, excuse me. But this also includes South America. Latin America will swallow the holdings of many big major American businesses this year, on this or that pretext. All in all, it should be some year, 1971. Some of this might extend into 1972, because time is a fooler, as I stated in Brad Steiger's book. But all this will take place in 1971-72, as sure as my name is Ted Owens (PK Man) Bx. 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 P.S. I'll give you a riddle... with the powers I have, and can use at a moment's notice... I could stop any* of the aforesaid rough things from happening... even change them according to my wishes. Riddle: Why don't I, then? It would be most interesting...to get your guesses on this point. *with exception of 'personalities' section. === Page 14 of 15 (continued Jan. 19, 1971) SPECIAL...As you know, Sunday was the last chance I had to beat the Cowboys and keep them from becoming World's Pro Football Champions. Remember... before the season started I notified the Cowboys, Jets, Chiefs, Dolphins and Eagles...that I'd stop them with psi-power attacks. Well, the game was a typical weird, freaky game as all PK'd games are. The Colts actually didn't have a chance of winning...the Si's won it for the Colts...by causing two touchdowns for the Colts, created by freaky tipped balls both times. Also the Si's stopped the Cowboys on the one yard line, of the Colts. The first half, was rough. But in the second half the psi-power really went to work. When I got the Colts up even with the Cowboys, and only a teensy bit of time left...I called on the Si's for extra help. They responded by causing a couple of breaks that got the ball down for a close Colt kick. THEN THE SI'S ACTUALLY HELPED CARRY THE BALL OVER THE GOALPOSTS. Don't believe that? Then you didn't read the account by the holder and the kicker. They both said that when the ball was kicked it started to fall short...then buoyed up again and sailed over. So the Si's really won the game for the Colts. Weird, but true. The local paper called the game "bizarre". It sure was. So anyway...I got the last little Indian, which gives me a perfect score for this year's pro football PK season. NEVADA...what's been going on with my PK project there? Well, Sonny Liston was found dead...with dope in his house. This of course is more bad publicity for Vegas...also directs attention nationally to the ugly presence of dope in Vegas. Something the hoods sure do not want called attention to. Also...just recently it was ten degrees in Nevada. Believe it or not. The cold has been killing business, I am told by a contact there. To add to that...Nevada had storm winds recently of 96 miles per hour! NOTE: Be SURE and get a copy of March 1971 Saga magazine, if I can't get you one. There's a great article in it about my work, by Otto Binder. (I've seen an advance copy.) MAKE A NOTE: I predict that someone will try to kill me, or have me killed, in 1971-72. If they are successful...somebody build a church over my grave on top of a mountain...and I swear to you that in that church the sick will get healed; unhappy people will be given a new life, and peace of mind. Because I'll be radiating psi-force from the grave. That's a fact. In January TRUE magazine there's a story about Dr. Fogel and the M's, or Mensa members. Dr. Fogel is the scientist who tested me and found my IQ to be in the Mensa range. It's a great organization...and tells you how to go about joining up. FINALLY: I'm now PK'ing a continent. Africa. Directing PK to sweep out all whites and give the continent back to the natives and the animals. Just saw "Elephant Country" on TV...the animals in Africa have little water or food, and are being all killed off. From now on an irresistable force will be in motion...to get all whites out of Africa, and keep them out for good. The African continent...is to grow again, become wild again, with the good life for the natives and the animals. And stay that way. Keep your eye on Africa, and you'll get a lesson in how psi-force works. Ted. === Page 15 of 15 Lawrence Maddry TED OWENS, the 50-year-old Norfolkian who talks to space people and predicts the future, has evened the score with me. We've been acquaintances for some time. The problem is that Owens is becoming famous. Recently Saga magazine ran a series about his incredible feats--predicting President Kennedy's assassination, putting the whammy on football teams, talking to space creatures in flying saucers--which mentioned one of my interviews with Owens. Since then, his followers have been sending me letters (one fellow said he'd been sending messages to Owens mentally and wasn't getting through). I forward the letters to our local czar of the bizarre. # A Crystal Ball Bowls A Strike This was okay. What got my dander up was the phone call I got at 4 in the morning from a Boston radio broadcaster whose name and station escape me. Remember, I was awakened at 4 in the morning and was standing by the phone in my pajamas. The conversation went about like this: Voice on phone: Hello there. Is this Lawrence Maddry, the columnist on the Virginia Beach Virginian-Pilot? Me: I guess so. Voice: Well, this is Bob Johnson on The Night-hawk Show from WRBJ in Boston. We've been reading in Saga magazine about the incredible Ted Owens. We're on the air now and my listeners would like for me to phone Owens. Can you give me his number? (Beeping noises on phone.) Me: I don't know his number. It isn't listed. Voice: Well, could you tell us what he's doing now? Me: I hope he's asleep. Look here, I don't know how you people do things up there in Boston, but in the South we don't phone people at 4 in the morning. Voice: Right you are. I'll have to agree with you there, Mr. Madrix. I was wondering if you could tell my listeners something about the fantastic Ted Owens. THERE FOLLOWED a nasty little exchange which must have been heard by thousands of late night radio listeners in Boston. I recall hanging up in the middle of the conversation. Since then I have made a conscious effort to steer clear of Owens without antagonizing him. At my age, it's too late to acquire an enemy who claims the ability to crash a Boeing 747 merely by thinking about it. Owens evened the score Wednesday morning when, in opening the mail, I found his gift, a copy of "What The Seers Predict for 1971" by Brad Steiger and Warren Smith. The paperback book, published by Lancer in September, has a photograph of a green eyeball on the cover and purports to contain the predictions by "America's greatest psychics" for what may be the most fateful years of our lives.  Owens Lo and behold, Ted Owens is among the contributors. For newspaper purposes, we found Owens' generalized predictions less impressive than some of the others. For instance, he notes that "our military will become confused." We refuse to believe that. Is nothing sacred? That's what talking to flying saucers will do for a fellow. Owens did have the Christian charity to include his mailing address in his article, and we pass it along: Box 3134 CHS, Norfolk, Va. 23514. ONE OF THE MOST interesting prognosticators in the book is Dr. Ernesto A. Montgomery of Los Angeles, credited with amazing feats of extrasensory perception. These are among Dr. Montgomery's predictions for 1971: Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton will separate in November and reconcile shortly thereafter . . . Tiny Tim and his wife Miss Vicky will be divorced. Miss Vicky will sue for alimony . . . Princess Grace of Monaco and Prince Ranier will separate. She will remain an occupant of the palace but will not share a bedroom with the prince. Now, there a psychic who knows what he's talking about. The military will become confused--indeed. Something really should be done with that Owens fellow. He's getting out of hand.

Text Any textual data included in the document === Page 1 of 17 February 1, 1971..........TO ALL CONTACTS Last Saturday at 2 PM, the day before the actual launch of Apollo 14...the Si's broke through into my mind...with the clear, strong communication that the spacecraft was faulty, even though it had been checked out...and that it was entirely possible that the astronauts would be killed because of it. Now, Mon. through Fri., regular office hours, I have a connection with the govt. I could have phoned about this. But on weekends, and at night, if some terrible thing develops that the Si's warn me about...there is no way to warn the govt. A very stupid situation, considering the value of tipoffs which I've given the govt. in the past which have paid off. Well, I tried to call Otto Binder in New York about it...but he was out. And he didn't call back, either. Next I tried to get hold of Larry Bonko, a columnist here in Norfolk who might be able to get the word through somehow...but I could only get the city editor of the Ledger-Star...I gave him the information and asked him to get it to Bonko. Next I called Mrs. Dyer and gave her the information...because I did want to get it on record. Sat. evening she drove by and I supplemented the verbal information I'd given her with a written document about it. Next day, Sunday, of course...all hell broke loose. I have no xerox...so will have to type you the signed affidavit I have from Mrs. Dyer concerning this: "February 1, 1971 (Monday) TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN -- Ted Owens (PK Man) has asked me to verify the fact that he telephoned me on Saturday afternoon (January 30, 1971...the day before the Apollo 14 launch) and he told me that at 2 PM that afternoon the Si's (UFO intelligences) had communicated with him and instructed him to warn the U.S. Govt. that there was a serious fault in the Apollo craft...which had not shown up in the checkout of the craft...and which made it entirely probable that the astronauts would be killed. He said the Si's said something about the craft's power. -- Later Saturday evening I took some typing work over for Ted to do...and he gave me a written document containing the above-mentioned material; also he told me that he'd tried to phone Otto Binder in New York, but that Binder was not there; and he had phoned the local City Editor of the Ledger-Star to give this important material to Larry Bonko, a local columnist and a contact of Owens. -- The next day, Sunday, late in the day there was a special bulletin on television...to the effect that the astronauts were in serious trouble...because no docking could be achieved. They finally were able to dock by using an unorthodox maneuver, but the question now at this point in time remains...should they try to land on the moon...for if they do, then try to go up and dock and not succeed...it could mean the deaths of all three astronauts (according to a newsman on a TV program Sunday evening.) -- This completely unexpected, serious flaw that has turned up in the craft...and the possibility of resulting death for the astronauts if they gamble on a later docking and fail...certainly bears out the accuracy of Ted Owens' warning yesterday, a day before the actual launch of Apollo 14. -- I swear that this is a true and factual statement, to the best of my knowledge. /S/ Mrs. N. Dyer Court Reporter and Notary Public Plaza One Building, Rm. 401 Norfolk, Virginia." === Page 2 of 17 - Now, a couple of people have asked me about my "NASA PK Project". Okay. I'll explain it. Cape Kennedy used to be PK'd to a fare-thee-well. But a while back I took down this structure completely, to free Cape K of this. However, NASA as a whole was thoroughly saturated with PK years ago...to wreck NASA...and I tell you, it's done a thorough job. The reason for it? Because NASA wouldn't listen to the Si's, or to me, their representative; or try to help the Si's. So the Si's decided to show them their 'muscle'. And they have. NASA now is about broke; has lost many of their good, key personnel; has a lousy morale...and of course, after lightning hit Apollo 12; then a miracle got the men back alive from Apollo 13, on a very unsuccessful flight...and now Apollo 14 is bollexed up...you can imagine the trouble the NASA program will be in, in the future. But Cape Kennedy...is clear. The Si's were TRYING to give NASA a message recently, before the Apollo 14 shot, but you see, NASA is so smart, so brilliant...it doesn't listen to Ted Owens. On January 23, 1971, newsclip: "ASTRONAUT CRASHES COPTER INTO RIVER." Another man for the Apollo 14 flight...was flying a helicopter in Florida over a river. A witness, William Quinlivan, said: "It was only four or five feet above the water. I was struck by how low it was flying. Then, without any evident loss of power or violent maneuver, he struck the water with a big plume of spray. Within two or three seconds after impact fire broke out and burned violently...within one or two minutes I saw a person in the water. He appeared to be all right." Now, if you're right bright...the above will ring a bell in your head. It hasn't been long...since you've read almost those same words from a witness to an 'accident'. Remember? Get out your contact letter telling you about the death of the top man in our nuclear testing program...who was flying low over the water in Nevada near Vegas...and "it seemed like a giant hand pushed the plane down into the water." Okay. Now, pay attention. January 30, 1971, newsclip: "MOON LAND CRAFT CRASHES IN TEST." "A 1.8 million moon landing trainer used earlier this month by Apollo 14 commander Alan B. Shepard, Jr., crashed Friday...and was destroyed...when the electrical power system failed..." ---------- SO HERE YOU HAVE TWO ACCIDENTS, CRASHES, WITHIN A WEEK...BOTH INVOLVING MEMBERS OR INSTRUMENTS OF THE APOLLO 14 SHOT. As I have explained before, the Si's sometimes 'talk' by creating actions. A flying saucer once led a string of police cars for a hundred miles to a town named "Freedom, Pennsylvania". They were 'saying' that they could lead us to freedom, if we'd follow their lead. The purpose of these two significant crashes...was to warn NASA...not to put up this Apollo 14 shot that went up yesterday. They were trying to show us...by creating these two accidents...that the flight could be ill-fated. I've been asked also...about my "terrible blow dealt to America" prediction. Well, for one thing, the Cambodian Air Force was wiped out...45 aircraft. You think this wasn't rough on America? Those were our planes we'd given them. AND NOW WE HAVE TO, ARE GOING TO, REPLACE ALL 45 OF THEM! Also, for another thing...the entire U.S. has been wracked up with hurricane winds and disastrous weather...killer weather...about 30 people have been killed in it. There was 120 mph wind in nearby N.C. alone. Add to these two rough deals...the fact that Apollo 14 mission might go down the drain...and I'd say the U.S. would have been dealt a terrible blow, wouldn't you? === Page 3 of 17 Re my arming helpless animals, world-wide, with an attack -PK mechanism against any hunter who kills them needlessly..........did you read recently where two hunters went out in Idaho..........shot a deer..........then a storm enveloped them..........and one went for help, and when help returned..........the other hunter had shot and killed himself? Very..........interesting. So..........you might be doubtful that my PK systems work? Read my last contact letter..........Jan. 14..........the last paragraph about my PK'ing Africa. It's just taken 16 days for my psi-power mechanisms to slam into Africa! Now, one of the mechs was to bring water to the animals dying for lack of it in Africa..........I aim to fill up all the rivers and streams and pools and ponds in Africa..........in the weeks and months ahead..........for the animals. Well, Jan. 31, 1971, newsclip: "STORM FELICE STRIKES AREAS IN THE NORTH" Goes on to point out that torrential rains poured down for days in East Africa..........then a tremendous cyclone struck on top of that, driving a wall of water which covered these twelve-feet high over the countryside. The flooding affected an area of 20,000 square miles! On Feb. 1, 1971, today, another clip: more rain is pouring into the area already flooded by torrential rains! And the clip says there was a surprisingly low death toll. Only 20 deaths in an area inhabited by several hundreds of thousands of people. So..........it begins. What will follow: Plagues. Plagues the like of which has not been seen since the days of Moses. Plagues which will affect only the white people in Africa, and drive them out of Africa. The black people will not be affected, and will remain in peace and harmony..........to make the country grow back to health again. Also infestations of insects and rodents..........same as in the time of Moses..........to bring about the same result. And rain rain rain everywhere in Africa..........and storms. And 'human' storms, too. Blacks against whites. Let's get back to the just-over Pro Bowl. On the key play..........weird, freak play.. that actually won the game for the Colts..........Renfro, the Cowboy who was supposed to have tipped the ball to a Colt who ran for a touchdown..........claimed he did not touch it! (Remember now that weird freak play where I was PK'ing the Chiefs and the ball took off on its own into the hands of an opponent for the winning touchdown and beat the Chiefs?) Renfro said this, in a newsclip: Jan. 25, 1971: "I didn't think I touched it. But I saw the films, and the ball changed direction..........so I must have touched it." (1) As far as he was concerned, he did not tip that ball, and (2) he saw it change direction. While we're talking about pro football..........you'll be fascinated with my plans for next pro football season. I'm going to PK half of all the pro teams! That's right. Thirteen pro teams. These thirteen (unlucky thirteen, I tell you) will suffer more injuries than the other thirteen; will lose more games than the other thirteen; and NONE OF THESE THIRTEEN WILL BE ABLE TO WIN THE BIG PRIZE, THE WORLD PRO CHAMPIONSHIP! The 13 hard-luck, snakebit teams are: KANSAS CITY CHIEFS DALLAS COWBOYS NEW YORK JETS CHICAGO BEARS WASHINGTON REDSKINS BALTIMORE COLTS SAN DIEGO CHARGERS MIAMI DOLPHINS LOS ANGELES RAMS DENVER BRONCOS HOUSTON OILERS BOSTON PATRIOTS PHILADELPHIA EAGLES You'll notice..........I picked all the weakest teams. (That's a joke, son.) === Page 4 of 17 Before I forget about it, let me tell you something most interesting. Not long ago a friend of mine in Sarasota, Florida, told me he'd buy 700 shares of stock...and if I could use "PK" to make the price of the stock go up...he'd give my family the money to help in my work with the Si's. Okay. The Si's told me to tell him...to take a disc I'd charge especially for the purpose and put the disc in a box containing the shares of stock, seal the box tight and hide it away. The Si's assured me that the disc would make the stocks "grow" in price. JUST SINCE THAT TIME...THE ENTIRE STOCK MARKET HAS BEGUN TO CLIMB! The whole stock market has gone up...since the time my friend sealed that disc in his box of stock! (And Andy, when you read this...will you kindly send me a signed, notarized affidavit to the above...for my files...please?) What else now has happened in my Nevada PK Project? Well, Earl Wilson in his column, from Las Vegas, states: "The Gold Must Go." "Those famous Las Vegas salaries must come down. Jack Entratter of the Hotel Sands says so...some of the gold has gone out of the gold rush. Joey Bishop was up there on stage at the Sands talking about that very thing in comedic vein. "You're my favorite audience -- a small audience," Joey said. "With a small audience, if you don't do good, not too many people know about it." (The gist of this column was...that not many people are going to Las Vegas now. This article is dated January 20, 1971.) -- And there's something else in the Nevada PK Project. Couple of weeks ago 1,400 sheep mysteriously died in Utah. They showed the poor creatures on TV. Angus Ingram, sheep man, said "I've never seen anything like this, and I've been on the desert since 1927. I think it came from something in the AIR." The best clue as far as you contacts are concerned: THIS HAPPENED RIGHT ON THE NEVADA border, where I told you previously several UFO's are operating to produce just such phenomena...and drive people out of Nevada. Well...I've been kind of quiet lately. Time to stand up and stretch, with my psi powers. (1) Recently I made an offer to use my mind to drive the twenty-five million birds out of Scotland Neck, North Carolina. Evidently nobody believed that I could...because they didn't take me up on it. All right then. I'll give a demonstration. Here is what I'm going to do...am going to activate the four HUGE "Emmy-Emma" craft at the four corners of the earth...to throw out psi-sound...which will cause insects, birds and rodents to go wild all over the earth. Coming up in near time ahead...will be the strangest, doggondest display of insects, birds and rodent 'plagues' since the time of Moses, world-wide. (Make that insects, fish, animals, birds and micro-world). (2) Am setting up a 'grid' today over the ENTIRE UNITED STATES, same as the one you'll read about in March '71 Saga that I set up over Norfolk last summer. What this 'grid' will do: it will cause electromagnetic (EM) havoc all over the United States...cause power blackouts...confuse radar, confuse TV signals. It will be an EM circus! It also might confuse airplanes, but let's hope not too badly. -- In closing, the Si's now have accomplished the first part of their objective, with the Saga articles telling their story. But Saga has a temporary, limited readership. The Si's want it told in lasting book form...to be carried in the bookstores...so all peoples the world over get a chance to read about it. Now, the Saga reports will negate a lot of demonstrations the Si's would have put on, for there's no need now. After the book is out...and somehow me, their representative, has financial backing to carry out their two world objectives (castle and lectures) and I'm fixed safely with a house and my Sota church...then the Si's will fade out and quit demonstrating altogether. That's what they say. Ted Owens (PK Man) P.O. Box 3134 CHS, Norfolk, Virginia. === Page 5 of 17 February 2, 1971..........NOTE TO ALL AMERICAN PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL TEAMS Gentlemen, there are 26 pro football teams in the U.S., and as of this date... 13, or half, of these pro teams...have already been made 'losers' in the oncoming 1971 pro football season starting next fall. I am Ted Owens (PK Man)...see Saga Magazine, August and September, 1970; March and April, 1971. The 13 teams listed below will be attacked mentally by myself...by my mind... and stopped cold this coming season. These 13 unlucky teams will have more injuries, lose more games (and be unable to win the World Pro Championship at the end of the season) than the other 13 not listed. You can blame the Philadelphia Eagles management for this. They publicized that my communications with them...are filed under "junk mail." Well, maybe so...but I told them before the start of the last season I'd stop them, and they only won 3 games. You figure it out. Anyway, a demonstration is in order. The other four teams last season I notified before the start that I'd stop from winning the World Pro Championship...were the Kansas City Chiefs, the New York Jets, the Miami Dolphins, and the Dallas Cowboys. You know now that they were stopped...and if you are astute...you know HOW they were stopped. Those two freak plays...which gave the Colts two touchdowns and won the Pro Bowl for them...were no accidents. They were CAUSED. But for me* the Cowboys would have wiped up the field with the Colts down in Miami. Here's the list: | KANSAS CITY CHIEFS | BALTIMORE COLTS | PHILADELPHIA EAGLES | |---|---|---| | DALLAS COWBOYS | SAN DIEGO CHARGERS | BOSTON PATRIOTS | | NEW YORK JETS | MIAMI DOLPHINS | HOUSTON OILERS | | CHICAGO BEARS | LOS ANGELES RAMS | | | WASHINGTON REDSKINS | DENVER BRONCOS | | Sincerely, Owens Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 *actually the Si's, or UFO intelligences, caused it, using me as their 'spotter'. UFO's? Yes, that's right...go ahead and laugh...but what happened to the Cowboys wasn't so funny. Or to Namath and the Jets. Or to the powerhouse K.C. Chiefs who'd won it all the previous year. Or for that matter..to the Miami Dolphins...who could actually beat the Cowboys and Colts in a double-header on the same afternoon, if it weren't for PK Man, that is. === Page 6 of 17 4 February 8, 1971..........Dear Otto: -- The following IMPORTANT article appeared in the newspaper, Virginian-Pilot, this morning, this date: "QUAKES, EARTH-WOBBLE LINKED" ..Washington (UPI) -- "The spinning earth is reaching the peak of its seven-year "wobble" cycle, and scientists fear as a result that 1971 may see an upsurge in devastating earthquakes. The possibility of an increase in major quakes was reported Wednesday by the National Ocean Survey, an agency of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). For some reason its north-south axis wobbles a bit as the earth revolves every 24 hours. For some reason this motion reaches a maximum every seven years. Studies in recent years have suggested a connection between the polar wobble and its possible quake-producing effects on the planet's structure. Charles A. Whitten, chief geodesist of the National Ocean Survey, said 1971 "should be a critical year." "This is the year in the seven-year cycle of the earth's wobbling when," he said, "the daily shift of the pole reaches its maximum." Whitten noted that as the cycle was building toward the maximum, 1970 witnessed the Peruvian earthquake, the most devastating ever to strike the Western Hemisphere. It killed 50,000 to 70,000 people. The correlation has been so strong, Whitten said, that "I intend to keep 'tuned in' for the next year or two, inasmuch as the daily movement of the pole is increasing and the number of fairly large earthquakes has increased. Records of the last 20 years, he said, show that most of the major quakes of that period "occurred during or close to the peak years." Some scientists think earthquakes contribute to the earth's spin wobble. OTHERS THINK THE WOBBLE TRIGGERS EARTHQUAKES. Whitten feels it may work both ways: THE WOBBLE MAY TRIGGER QUAKES WHICH IN TURN ACCENTUATE THE WOBBLE. (Otto, this is the mechanism of a basic neurosis in a human...tension causing symptoms, which causes more tensions, which causes more symptoms...Ted) IN ANY CASE, THE BASIC SOURCE OF THE WOBBLE AND ITS CYCLICAL NATURE REMAINS A MYSTERY....." Now, Otto, look at YOUR ARTICLE in last September Saga mag: p. 52: "Ted Owens still has fascinating revelations about the Space Intelligences: for instance, how they produce earthquakes. Owens reveals that: "There are four great SI craft positioned around our globe. It is these four craft that I signal when I wish to give a demonstration of earthquakes all around the world, as I have done twice for government agencies and scientists (note: and once for Otto and Saga. Ted) Asking how big those four UFO's are, you get a staggering answer: "These craft are so big, we couldn't even imagine their size...As to just how they create earthquakes: "After I signaled them, they (the four big UFOs) emitted an electromagnetic effect that slightly affected the rate of the earth's spin or movement, causing earthquakes, floods, and unusual weather....able to grip the whole planet and give it a slight wrench (note: which of course would cause 'wobble'. Ted). See how these two articles have an affinity for each other? Now, also in one of your Saga articles you wonder, in print, that the "Emmy-Emma" four UFO's can generate so much EM power. Well, they don't. They draw it, to the best of my knowledge, from another source...which I think is Jupiter. You know from reading my material...that I've stated the Si's are basically from another dimension, that they HQ down deep inside our earth...but that for some reason, they have an operation involving Jupiter. (This is in my material in several places, where people have questioned me.) Now, Otto, this leads us to another newsclip taken from the paper today, 2/4/71, in part as follows: "JUPITER MAY BE MORE STAR THAN PLANET, EXPERT SAYS." By George Getze, Times/Post News Service. "Jupiter, the biggest planet in the Solar System, may be radiating more energy than it receives from the Sun, according to an === Page 7 of 17 astrophysicist of the U.S. Geological Survey. This would mean that Jupiter is really a star and not a planet in the generally accepted sense. Robert Wildey of the Center of Astrogeology at Flagstaff, Arizona, said one of the most significant of Jupiter's "many enigmas" is the possibility that it is sending out into space about twice as much energy as it gets from the Sun...."It may be that Jupiter hasn't quite finished 'falling together' into a rigid planet created from interstellar debris," Wildey said. "If so, its power generation is really the conversion of the energy of gravity. If it is generating its own out put of energy (note: caused by some Si operation? Ted.) we may have to consider Jupiter, instead of Alpha Centauri, the nearest star except for the Sun itself." (Note: now at this point let me remind that in a recent Saga article the writer said that NASA officials had pointed to Alpha Centauri...and indicated they believed the UFO's emanated from that location. Presumably because it was the nearest star. Well, then, if Jupiter is the nearest star...then what I have been saying for some years re the Si's could be correct...Jupiter, not Alpha Centauri, is the point of UFO emanation. You see? Actually I do not believe it's the point of UFO emanation...but an alternate HQ the Si's have, away from earth, FOR A POWER SOURCE THEY CAN"T GET HERE. And I also believe they can DRAW on this Jupiter power source, by some means, to create phenomena here...as well as from their own dimension. Ted.)...... "He added that nobody is quite sure why Jupiter should have its own power generation." Therefore the picture as I see it...and these articles tend to rather confirm it...is that the four giant UFO's at the corners of the earth...can draw, by some means, by remote control, power from Jupiter (that they cannot get, or cannot use, from their own dimension, to affect the rate of spin of our earth. And it's my contention...that they have manufactured, created, somehow this huge power-radiation on Jupiter...which they utilize to power their craft or some of their craft, somehow...and to make our earth 'wobble' when they want to, for reasons of their own...AND TO PRODUCE OTHER POWER-CAUSED EFFECTS either earth-related, or non-earth related. And being part Si myself...as I've pointed out before...I do have a hazy insight into what they are, what they are doing, etc.,....that no other humans have. I could be correct; as I have been correct in other ways, in these key points. Going back to the first article I typed for you, note: "the daily movement of the pole is increasing and the number of fairly large earthquakes has increased." This could be due to the fact that they have not cut off our "Saga" demonstration...i.e., as you know they started with 'small' quakes and graduated into the Peru and Pakistan horrors. This could be building into a climax, ending in a horrendous U.S. quake...which I think will occur. And the astrophysicist points out: "The basic source of the wobble and its cyclical nature...remains a mystery." Not to me, it doesn't. The article does not point out...that just recently two of the worst catastrophes in history occurred; Peru and Pakistan. What does this have to do with "every seven years"? Sincerely, Owen Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 === Page 8 of 17 Dr Sprinkle February 25, 1971..........TO ALL CONTACTS I wonder how many of you 35 out there..........have already figured out.......... what's happened since my Feb. 1st, 1971, contact letter to you..........and who did it? Get the March 1971 issue of Saga magazine and read it carefully; repeat with the coming April issue of Saga..........and you will then be able to comprehend what has happened the past three weeks. It should scare you witless. In my letter to you of Feb. 1, 1971, I said: "Well, I've been kind of quiet lately. Time to stand up and stretch, with my psi powers." (1) I'd use the four huge UFO's at the corners of the earth..........to send forth psi sound..........which would cause insects, fish, animals, birds and micro-world to go wild..........all over the earth. Now check these newspaper clippings: Feb. 21, 1971, Los Angeles. (UPI) AFTERSHOCKS KEEP CALIFORNIA DOGS JUMPING..........Hundreds Loose and Biting.......... "The earthquake that rocked Southern California Feb. 9 not only put the fear of God in thousands of humans, but it also apparently threw hundreds of animals, notably dogs, into a state of frenzy. "There are hundreds of dogs on the loose," Ernest Jensen, district supervisor of the East San Fernando Valley Animal Shelter, said. Jensen said many of the animals escaped when backyard walls and fences collapsed during the killer quake. "Some of the dogs are now running in parks, hungry and frightened," Jensen said. He added that reports of dog bites have also increased and attributed the cause to the agitated conditions the animals are in because of continuing aftershocks. (Ha. He has leaped to a wrong, albeit seemingly logical, conclusion. Ted.) ..........Americana, Brazil (AP) BATHERS BEWARE..........Feb. 22, 1971.........."Authorities have warned bathers at local reservoirs to watch out for what may be flesh-eating piranha fish. A dozen swimmers reported being bitten in a one-week period. (You see? Dogs biting people suddenly by the hundreds..........fish biting people suddenly. Ted.) ..........Feb. 22, 1971..........pic in paper of man whose face and arm are horribly bitten..........local Norfolk paper.........."NOT SO GENTLE INSURRECTION".......... Jethrow Midgett is a wiser commercial fisherman than he was last week. He may not catch any more fish this week, but he is likely to get fewer seal bites. Midgett displays wounds received at Rodanthe on North Carolina's Outer Banks last Friday when a seal bit him on the chin, lower lip, and left arm. The seal struck as Midgett started to pat it on the head. Midgett said he was attempting to demonstrate the animal's gentle character." (Again, you see? A normally gentle seal brutally attacks this man and chews him all up. Ted.) Also, in my Feb. 1 letter I told you that (2) "Am setting up a 'grid' today over the ENTIRE UNITED STATES, same as the one you'll read about in March '71 Saga that I set up over Norfolk last summer. What this 'grid' will do: it will cause electromagnetic (EM) havoc all over the United States..........cause power blackouts..........confuse radar, confuse TV signals. It will be an EM circus!" (while keeping that paragraph closely in mind, note also that I wrote to Otto Binder on Feb. 4 as follows: "..........the daily movement of the pole is increasing and the number of fairly large earthquakes has increased." This could be due to the fact that they (the Si's) have not cut off our "Saga" demonstration..........i.e., as you know they started with 'small' quakes and graduated into the Peru and Pakistan horrors. This could be building into a climax, ending in a horrendous U.S. quake..........which I think will occur.") === Page 9 of 17 2...Are you following me so far? Just after I sent you the Feb. 1 letter...I placed the 'grid' mentally over the entire U.S. and activated it; then signaled the four huge UFO's at the corners of the earth to issue forth the sound which would drive you-know-what wild. ...Then all hell broke loose. (Mind you...I had no way of knowing all that that 'grid' would do. I just had in mind causing power blackouts everywhere and confusing radio and TV signals everywhere. But...THE SI'S OF COURSE INSERTED THE IDEA INTO MY BRAIN AND THEY KNEW WHAT IT WOULD DO! Another...formidable Si demonstration! Which, unfortunately, only a few of you will know about. 35 people are not very many.) Feb. 8, 1971...AT LEAST 100 HURT, DAMAGE HEAVY IN FLA. TORNADO...Gulf Breeze, Fla. (AP) (Article too long...but a tornado kicked the daylights out of a section of Florida. "It has to be a miracle that nobody was killed," said the Rev. Gerald Munday. Interesting thing to note... "Flashing lightning lit the sky like it was daytime." (Remember that, contacts...it's important, and I'll link it up later on.) ...Feb. 8, 1971...BLAST KNOCKS OUT N.Y. POWER...Radio, TV off Air... New York (AP) (Long article explains how explosion, cause unknown, knocked radio and TV stations off the air, including the Empire State Building...plus blacking out areas of New York City. Now note this: "Electrical power outages in two other of the city's five boroughs... were also reported. However a spokesman for Consolidated Edison Co., the area's major utility, said those failures were unrelated to the explosion at the Waterside power plant on the East Side of Manhattan." (Note: Of course that U.S. 'grid' is doing all of this...and it's just warming up! Ted.) Another newsclip on the same: "The cause of a Sunday night power blackout which left 500,000 Manhattan residents in the dark and blanked television channels in parts of four states remained unknown Monday. Teams of blue-helmeted Consolidated Edison Co. experts carried out a daylong examination of power feeds in the originally affected area without finding the source or location of the trouble." ...Feb. 9, 1971...KILLER QUAKE JOLTS LA AREA...Los Angeles (AP) (No need to go into this one. You all know about it. President Nixon called this part of California a "major disaster area." Enough said. And I was right to Otto about the "horrendous quake"...also that the U.S. would be dealt a "terrible blow" within 30 days; remember? Ted.) Now, at this point let me insert a newsclipping sent me by a friend, Bob Gray, from Berkley, Calif....San Francisco Chronicle, Wed. Feb. 17, 1971...JOYCE HABER.."I've been culling some odd, if inevitable, tales about the disaster--or Earthquake, 1971"--as they called it on CBS-TV in their minute-by-minute coverage. For my part, I read that certain people said the sky lit up with "flashes of light" a few hours before the quake occurred. That brought to mind my own observation. I remembered rising at 4 a.m. on Feb. 9...and reflecting that it seemed as light as daybreak, which happens around 6. I can't explain that, but I promise it's true." (Note: Now note that quote above where "flashing lightning lit up the sky like it was daytime" connected with the Florida tornado...and compare the two! Ted.) ...Now things were even going to get weirder. Feb. 20, 1971... BROADCAST STATIONS GET FALSE ALERT...Washington (AP) "The nation's radio stations were erroneously alerted today that a national emergency existed..." (You see, here we go again...not a blackout this time, but a Si-caused human error...still picking on radio stations...and here the Si's are telling us in their own way that a national emergency exists!) === Page 10 of 17 ...Yes, the 'grid' is doing all of this: ...Feb. 21, 1971...REPAIRS PUT MASS., R.I., IN DARKNESS...Boston (UPI) Rhode Island lost all electrical power for up to three hours Saturday when a major transmission line failed...Several radio stations were knocked off the air. (Following this pattern now? Ted.) Virtually every community in southeastern Massachusetts from Brockton down to Provincetown on the tip of Cape Cod was affected, as were the cities of Middletown, Newport, and Portsmouth in southeastern Rhode Island." The explanation was that while one line was being repaired, "the alternate line failed." ...Feb. 21, 1971...SEVERE WINDS POUND UTAH...Gusts Up To 88 MPH Hit Trains, Trucks, Trailers...Salt Lake City, Utah (UPI)...Hurricane-velocity winds slapped northern Utah Saturday, knocking over trees, trains, trucks and trailers, ripping off roofs and cutting power... (Note: remember that psi-force mechanisms will work in a thousand ways, to bring about a single result, if necessary. Ted.) The winds whipped out of mountain canyons with such force that 10 cars of a freight train were blown off the tracks and a dozen homes at a trailer park were rolled into a giant jumble. Power failures were wide spread." (and there was lots more about this, but you get the idea. Ted.) ...Feb. 22, 1971...TORNADOES IN SOUTH KILL 73...by the AP (over 100 tornadoes just kicked the slats out of Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama. Now note: BEFORE this occurred...I dreamed the night before it happened...clearly...that I was in a state near Texas...and was PK'ing a football game in that state...but had to go 200 miles to Dallas in order to see a TV set where it was not blacked out so I could work on the game play by play. Next morning I read in the paper where this area I dreamed I was in had been steamrollered by dozens of tornadoes! You figure that one out. Ted.) And here again, power was knocked out everywhere...a different cause again...and Mississippi was called a "major disaster area" by President Nixon. To quote one newsclip, "It looked like a thousand hells" one area resident said. (Are you beginning to get some idea...of the power of the SI's now? And of the power of my mind connected with them? Ted.) ...Feb. 22, 1971...5 REPORTED DEAD IN 3-STATE BLIZZARD...by the AP... (a terrible blizzard smashed into Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa...accompanied by thunder and lightning and gusts up to 80 miles an hour in conjunction with severe floods that inundated the eastern half of the state." (I believe that President Nixon named Nebraska a "major disaster area" after this...no newsclip on it; heard it over the radio. Ted.) ...Feb. 23, 1971...N.C. CITY GUARDED...by the AP...Two persons were killed and about 60 injured late Monday afternoon when two tornadoes touched down in Fayetteville, N.C., and a rural area of Cumberland and Sampson counties about 15 miles away. Estimated damage reached several millions of dollars." ...Feb. 23, 1971...17 DEAD FROM SNOW IN 5 STATES...by the AP...A late winter storm that staggered sections of the midcontinent with 15-foot snowdrifts aimed an icy and snow-laden punch at the Northeastern interior today. Seventeen persons were dead as a result of the storm in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska...several communities in Oklahoma remained without electrical power..." (Now I'll tell you something interesting, contacts...THE TORNADO SEASON IS NOT EVEN HERE YET! It's too early for it. But you just had over a hundred tornadoes at once! After I activated the 'grid'. Any questions? You were all notified in advance about the 'grid' and what it would do. More than that...you couldn't want.

Nothing more. But I'll tell you this: I didn't know there was a scientist in the world of his prestigious stature...who would back me up in my revolutionary approach to the field of psi phenomena...by giving me a signed confirmation such as this. Of one thing you can be absolutely positive...Dr. Max Fogel would never lend his name to a document such as this...if he thought for one minute that I were mentally deluded, psychotic, or otherwise off-the-beam.

Owens === Page 12 of 17 MENSA Reply: 340 Brighton Road Norristown, Pa. 19403 A NON-PROFIT EDUCATIONAL CORPORATION CHARTERED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, 50 EAST 42ND STREET, NEW YORK, N.Y. 10017 February 15, 1971 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Ted Owens, who calls himself "PK Man", notified me during the early part of the 1970 pro football season (which just finished) that he would control five professional football teams this season, so that they could not win the coveted Super Bowl Pro Football Championship at the end of the season. He specifically said that he would work at causing injuries to key players, in order to bring this about. The five teams were the Kansas City Chiefs (who had won the Super Bowl the year previously); the New York Jets (who had won the Super Bowl the year before that); the Dallas Cowboys; the Miami Dolphins, and the Philadelphia Eagles. After Owens wrote me this the entire backfield of the New York Jets was wiped out by crippling injuries - Namath, Snell, etc. Much the same thing occurred to the Kansas City Chiefs. As the season progressed Owens kept writing reports to me on his progress. He claims to be able to use psychokinesis, or "PK" as it is called in parapsychology, to bring this about. He uses TV and radio to be in on every play of each game, sometimes working on two games simultaneously. The Chiefs and Jets, who were the heavyweight contenders at the beginning of the season, fell by the wayside as the season went on. (Owens even helped the Raiders win their games miraculously, he claims, in order to put down the Chiefs, who were in the same division.) The Eagles only won three games in the year. The Dolphins, a very tough team, survived longer until Owens eliminated them, he claims, toward the end of the season. The Cowboys should have been eliminated, Owens claims, earlier, but in two key games their opponents threw away the opportunities Owens gave them to win, as he explains it, and the Cowboys beat them. (In one of these two games the Cowboys were only able to score 5 points.) Then came the Super Bowl. Owens wrote to me before the game, saying that he would do his best to make them lose this all-important game. During the game Max L.

I mean...yesterday the court reporter I've worked for, for several years...called and told me she's quitting here and going to Georgia. That means she takes this IBM Selectric typewriter that I'm typing with, with her...takes my phone out (she put it in; paid $60 deposit)...and cuts off my money supply. Just like that.. So I thought I'd better write you one last letter, at least...and tell you what has transpired. Of course...if any of you could loan me a thousand or two, which would get me out of all this mess...or could fix me up with a used IBM Selectric (about $200)...or could send me $60 loan to keep the phone...I could stay in business as I have these past couple of years. Otherwise I'll have to drop my pattern of contacting contacts...no other choice. There's a slight ray of hope. A Texas multimillionaire called and a half-hour discussion took place. There's a possibility he might hire me, and his money would give me the base I need...to carry on, not at 1/10th of my power and ability, as I have been working...but at 10/10ths of my power and ability. Because all of my time will be my own. I asked him for the same salary a top athlete gets...less than that of Joe Namath, Wilt Chamberlain...but still substantial. (Be sure and get a copy of April Saga...Otto has saved all the biggest thoughts...for that article. And you'll learn a lot you didn't know. For positive sure.) Here's what's happened to PK Man this last month: About four weeks ago I got ill. Didn't know what it was. Didn't make much difference, because I was stone broke. The sickness slowed me down, and I didn't get much typing out. Finally, half-delirious, I went to Dr. Brock at Medical Towers in Norfolk (after receiving a letter from out of the blue from a disc-holder with some money in it...from Florida...he said the disc had upped his stock interests) had some x-rays taken...and was told I had a severe case of pneumonia. He told me to turn in to the nearest hospital for several weeks. I laughed, fingering the few bucks in my pocket...and asked him what was the alternative choice. He said go home and lie down for several weeks. And he told me to go get some prescriptions filled. I did, at the tune of $20. He cost me $10. The x-rays costs me $15. Well, I went home...notified this court reporter of my set-back...and fell into bed, with a high temperature. A week later, with money running out, I climbed out of bed and began typing again...in an effort to put something together to sustain the family. Rent, $90, was coming up; had electrical bill for $61; phone bill for $10...and all I could do was look at the bills and laugh hysterically. I made $23 that week. Yesterday the court reporter called me and said she'd had a fight with her boss...and she had resigned and was going to Georgia. That ends my job, ends the typewriter, ends the phone, ends my money supply...and leaves me only with pneumonia, and a wife who will have her baby any day now. I tell you...if it wasn't so serious...I'd have to laugh... But now...let's think, deeply, about what I'm going to tell you next. Getting away from my own personal, petty human difficulties. === Page 2 of 9 Last week the Si's contacted me...right in the middle of my pain and delirium with pneumonia...and told me quite plainly and clearly...that it would be my human choice...that would allow the present mankind to proceed, or that would allow present mankind to be "erased" and a new equation be placed on the Si's blackboard for intelligence inhabiting our earth. If I choose...present mankind...then the Si's will try to get the earth and Nature back into balance again, and work with present mankind to get it straightened out; wars stopped, etc. If my choice is to put a new equation on earth...then the Si's will allow Nature to wipe out mankind, as it is now trying to do, slowly but surely, day by day. (Air pollution, water pollution, seafood pollution, and so on.) This was an odd thing for the Si's to tell me...just at the point where I was deathly sick with pneumonia...making no money...broke (and I hadn't learned my job was gone yet, even). I mean...these human adversities just could possibly color a human's decisions, you see? I feel that the Si's are being utterly honest with me...they will do just as I instruct them, this once. (I have never instructed the Si's; they always instruct me...this is the first and only time they've given me this kind of decision to make.) All right. Keep the above in mind now. This morning I called a drugstore and read them the prescription from my doctor for penicillin...and told them to bring me over 14 capsules ($15); I'd just gotten a small loan from a buddy, so I could. Had to do without last week, cause didn't have any money. Well, the drugstore called back and said Dr. Brock would not okay it...unless I CAME BACK TO HIM AND HAD MORE X-RAYS TAKEN! Let's see...$10 for Dr. Brock; $15 for x-rays; $15 for the medicine...ha ha ha! It was to laugh. I had to pony up $25 to the doctor, just to be able to pay my $15 for the medicine. I thought this was very humorous, and called the doctor about it. He remained adamant. So...I go without any medicine now. As I write this, my chest is aching with pain. The doctor said over the phone that most people get over pneumonia in two weeks. Sure. When they are in the hospital and being tended to. I was home in bed for one week, then had to climb out and work...because I'm no doctor and make no doctor's money. I had to go downtown and get my all-important mail...by bus. Two-hour trip, while I had severe pneumonia. We have no car. We have no help. Martha is pregnant and can hardly do anything...the baby is due any day. It would be so easy at this point to make the fast decision for the Si's...I could say it in strong language, but I won't...negative, you know. But...on top of all the tough things that are happening...Martha gets some baby things from Evelyn in Miami; a few cute things from Olga in San Antonio; I get some bucks from a buddy to help out...and most of all, I remember vividly something that happened a few years ago which no humans would have happen. I took my family all around the United States in a broken car and no money, because the Si's told me to. What I learned...was that churches are hypocritical nothings, in the main (there must be exceptions...but we found none)...but THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE REAL ANGELS, scattered here and there...hard to find...but one runs across them, and discovers them. We did. Never would...if I hadn't taken that trip. Here's how it worked; we'd pull into a town (hundreds of times, now) broke, no money, no gas...and I'd go to a church and ask to work for enough money to feed my wife and three kids for one meal, and perhaps a little gas to go on with. NOT ONE CHURCH GAVE ME WORK, OR HELPED US. But we'd accidentally run onto a person...who would give us some food, and perhaps some gas. I went to this huge million-dollar church in Houston, for instance, and asked for some work. === Page 3 of 9 This was back in '63, '64, but I can remember it like it was yesterday. Well, the minister said no, he had no work. I turned and left...but outside the church a woman drove up, a member of the church, back from a picnic...came over to our dusty, dirty car and asked what we were doing...I told her what had just occurred...she took out about 200 hotdogs and like number of buns, left over from the picnic, and gave them to us, along with $20 for gas. She, in effect, was practicing the religion that the million-dollar church she belonged to...was mouthing on Sunday. We had this same thing occur, in various ways, all over the country. One Sunday we drove up to a church in the driving rain...out of gas, money, and food...and I went to the door as the minister was shaking hands with his congregation leaving the church. I asked him for some work to do, any kind of work...to get a little food and gas. He turned me down flat. Didn't have any, he said, and closed the door, leaving me out in the rain. I pushed the car down a ways to a filling station...traded a transistor radio to the owner for a little gas...then he set us all up to a hot meal, and gave us a whole tank full of gas to go on with. Wouldn't take the transistor. This was just another incident. I remember all these little things. People...here and there...who have been filled with godly, spiritual thought...when it counted. Not mouthing platitudes and doing nothing for their fellow man. I ran into this good work again in Virginia Beach, when we arrived there, broke. Of course, the Si's were bringing this all about...they were using me and mine as a test-tube experiment...to find out about humans. It puts me in mind of Lot, and Sodom and Gomorrah...when Lot kept insisting to "the Lord" (Si's) that there were really some good people around. The "Lord" said okay, find me some...and maybe I'll spare these cities. It didn't work then; but I think now, it might. You see...I'm the only human these particular intelligences can communicate with, both ways, two ways. And these particular intelligences have already demonstrated their powers...formidable powers that certainly could eliminate mankind as it now exists...if these intelligences deem it relevant and material. They evidently think, or say they think, that I am capable of making the momentous decision...of whether humans on the face of this earth...shall keep on living...or be wiped out, and some other thing be tried. (With living things that will not slaughter each other en masse; pollute the air, the water, the food; and so forth.) You probably do not believe what I am telling you. ABout this horrible decision I have to make. AND THE SI'S KNOW I'LL BE HONEST ABOUT IT. I won't pull my punches just to save my own skin, and my family. And they know it. They've trained me...to think on an international, whole-world basis...through the years. (Remember all my demonstrations involving foreign countries.) So...this being the last letter, evidently, that I'll be able to send you...it is important that you know what is going on. The question in my mind is: why did they wait to tell me that it's my choice...when I had pneumonia, and everything is collapsing around me, so to speak? They knew this had to color my decision. (It won't...because I'm aware that it might.) MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT, CONTACTS...WHAT I AM TELLING YOU...WILL DECIDE YOUR OWN FATE. As well as mine. And of course, the earth. God bless you all, and keep you. Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 4 of 9 March 8, 1971 Drs. Fogel, Hynek and Sprinkle Gentlemen: IN the newspapers this morning...there was an article about a terrible drought in Texas...Asperton area. The ranchers are hiring a rainmaker there who tries to make it rain with heated briquets. Ha ha ha. I wrote them this morning, and offered to sell them my services. If they should miraculously comply...and hire me, here is what I'm going to do. First, I'll bring copious amounts of rain to Texas, and particularly that particular area. Then I'll carry the equation further...I'll get all of the ranchers together, and ask them what they need...for better crops, better living, etc. Then by activating certain psi-force mechanisms...I'll also supply all of their needs. Finally, I'll double and/or triple their crop production for them, by using psi-force. All I can do is tell you what I'm going to do...and that's all I ever could do, gentlemen. Then when it happens...you know, rather have, the answer. If they hire me...then I will keep you fully informed...on every detail of my action. Which psi-force mechanisms I'm using, and why; everything. I'll fully document it, and you'll have complete copies. If they don't hire me...well, it wouldn't be a surprise. No one has ever, yet. And it's a shame. Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 Owens === Page 5 of 9 March 14, 1971 Sunday .......... TO ALL CONTACTS The court reporter, although packing up and leaving town...has not yet come by and gotten her IBM Selectric typewriter...so I'll be able to get one or more Contact letters out, before she does. You remember...not long ago I wrote you...that I was sending out PK to guard and protect helpless animals, birds, etc.? That this PK would attack those who killed the helpless animals, birds, etc., and that the animals birds, etc., thus were protected with a much more powerful force than a gun? And I asked Otto Binder, if he could, to get this word out to the world? He hasn't been able to. But here's what happened. March 14, 1971...Virginian Pilot...Grindstone, Que. (UPI) "The seals were reported spread out over a trail of scattered ice packs 100 miles long Saturday....The 60-foot Candian sealer Carmen was crushed by the shifting ice Friday and Sank in the gulf with 900 pelts aboard." Wonderful. Marvelous. Just as I told you would happen...the PK which has been issued all over the world (omniscient and omnipresent) is beginning to attack the humans...who are killing animals and other living things, who do not need them in order to eat. (And listen...these humans killing these baby seals...do not need them to eat. They're killing them...for fur coats for fat, lazy American women. And God help the ones...that are killing these baby seals. I don't give a damn...about their excuse that it is their way of making a living. From now on...it had better not be, or they won't have a living. They won't live. Today on TV I watched "American Sportsmen" which should be called "American Butcher." Bing Crosby, Phil Harris, Andy Griffith, etc., well-heeled Americans shooting and slaughtering yea-many deer, birds, etc. Uh-huh. Well, these gents, who are perfectly able to get their meat for their table at their nearby grocery store...will be punished severely for killing and hurting these innocent deer and birds. Just as I told you they would, not long ago. The PK is out. I have no mercy...with my PK attacks...for those who have no mercy...on the living things God has made. Years ago I used to say to my family, "oh, if the poor animals...deer, squirrel, rabbits, and all...could only shoot back at the dam fat wealthy humans who are going out and killing them!" Now I've got deadly PK to send forth...to help the animals. Or at least...even the score for the animals. Okay. Enough of that. Now...some of you might remember...the letter I sent to President Johnson...some years ago. I told him that I was going to end the 6-year drought on the East Coast...but that if the government did not acknowledge it when I did, and cooperate with me and the Si's, then I'd return the drought, many-fold, to the U.S., as a punishment. All right. I ended the drought (as Otto Binder described it in Saga) but the government has never acknowledged it, or cooperated with me or the Si's. So...... From this day on...I am activating drought conditions over the U.S., particularly the western half of the U.S., which will be far worse than the 6-year drought of some years ago! Ranchers in Texas recently said that the rainy season is coming on now out there...uh huh. Well, maybe. We'll see. Let's see if it does; and how the summer goes. I say drought! === Page 6 of 9 Perhaps you wonder why I am getting so rough. It's because there is so little time left...and unless I get subsidized...I won't be able to help the U.S., or the world...with my considerable powers. So I'll have to create a terrible drought...in order to be paid a sum to get rid of the drought. An amount, I might add, not as great as that paid any good athlete going into any of the pro athletic teams. Some people do not like or approve of my negative use of PK. Well, I do not like or approve of many of the negative things people are doing, either. And until the human practices are halted...Nature is never going to get back into balance with Earth. Note: Cy Berlowitz, formerly associate editor of Saga Magazine (who wrote and asked me for a disk)...has just had the following good fortune: "Dear Ted, Just a quick note to let you know that I'll be gone from SAGA by the end of this week. I've landed a job at TRUE Magazine at more money than SAGA could dream of paying. Must be the PK disk, huh?... Cy Berlowitz, True Magazine 67 W. 44th St., New York, New York. Just another of the thousands who have been helped by the charged disk. Several days ago, Thursday, March 11, 1971, I took my wife, Martha, to Norfolk General Hospital. At that time...all the power went out in that portion of the city of Norfolk. The newspapers said "VEPCO hunts for cause of blackout"...Norfolk...3/12/71...Employes of the Virginia Electric and Power Co. today were seeking the cause for a shortage in a line which resulted in a power blackout for approximately 5,000 customers in the Ghent and Edgewater areas....E. C. Baker Jr., Norfolk manager for VEPCO, said Norfolk General Hospital was affected but immediately went to its emergency electrical supply system..." Re my "grid" put over the U.S., Wed., March 10, 1971... "Louisiana Raked By High Winds"...AP...High winds whipped across the flatlands of south Louisiana late Tuesday and early today with scores of persons reported injured and homes and house trailers damaged from the Texas border to New Orleans...Winds up to 100 miles per hour were reported..." (My big earthquake in LA, and my 100 tornadoes, have not been enough. Will have to keep on persevering.) What am I persevering for? Why...for ten years I've been trying to get myself, the "missing link"...together with the SI's in Europe (as per previous writeups) in order to save this present civilization. To date I haven't been able to, because no one would help me to (takes money, and lots of it.) So I'll keep putting the pressure on pro football teams, and the rest of the country, and the govt., until some one finally does... or our country is destroyed. How's the Vegas PK coming? Well, I see Jack Entratter, pioneer hotelman behind all of Vegas, just passed away at 57. Then Sammy Davis Jr. and others marched up and down Casino strip in Vegas. Davis said "Black people and poor whites need my help." (Welfare militants). Then "Casino Plot Charged...story about Mafia captains who were caught owning a Vegas casino... just came out. And a newsclip from Bob Gray in Berkley, stating that Internal Revenue Service are about to swoop down on Vegas and hit the Casinos and figure out why they aren't getting more money. === Page 7 of 9 3 why am I getting so rough with my PK powers? Because if I don't force someone or some govt. agency to back me...then I won't be able to save present civilization as it is. Simple as that. Oh...today the Phila. 76'rs played the Atlanta Hawks...and I had it on TV. So I sharpened up my PK-on-sports-ability by holding back the red-hot, streaking 76'rs...and making them lose to the Hawks. As many of you know...I'm holding down every sports team in Philly, football, basketball, baseball and hockey...with PK. First time I've been able to get at the 76'rs on TV, from Norfolk, this season. Three or four of you...have sent me small loans. Enough to buy me three weeks of time. It took me three months to find my former job here. But at least...I've got a fighting chance now. You handful have my gratitude. Pay you back as soon as possible. I have two chances...to be able to do for the world...what needs to be done. Two millionaires in different parts of the country are thinking about possibly hiring my services. If they do...then I'll drop all other PK enterprises and projects...and concentrate on working for them to accomplish what they want...and to save the country, and perhaps civilization as it is. (I have to have 9/10ths of my energy and brainpower to do it...and only these men can turn me loose, with their financial backing, to do it.) I know you-all are hard up, just like I am. If any of you can spare $75 to help me buy a thousand new red discs to help and heal people with...send it in. I'm all out of discs. Pay you back later. A gentleman named Kralik...stockbroker...has an idea to try and help me with my work. He recently saved me, when I had pneumonia. He told me to send in my Contact list...so he could try to write everybody to set up a trust fund of some sort, to help me carry on. I wrote him and told him...it wouldn't work...you-all aren't that kind of list. (He asked me for my "list of admirers"...ha ha ha.) Well, you aren't admirers. Some of you are lawyers, some are scientists, and so forth. You are merely observing and witnessing. But...because he's trying to help me...and no one much else is (in the BIG way) I'll give him the list, and leave it to the SI's to see that it's used properly. After all, I can use all of the help I can get. And if he's sincere (and I've no reason to believe he isn't) then...thank God for Kralik. Best to you all.......... Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Virginia 23514 Owens === Page 8 of 9 March 23, 1971...TO ALL CONTACTS Dr. Sprinkle (attention: govt. agencies and scientists!) All right...this message is VITAL. The Si's communicated with me today and told me to pass on the following (and SOMEBODY had better LISTEN and get it out to the PEOPLE): (1) Again they warn that ALL ANIMALS IN THE WORLD now are armed! (Keep in mind that big seal-boat which the ice just sank after baby seals were killed). The rule is: any hunter or human who kills an animal, and does not need it for food directly...will be tracked down and destroyed himself by the PK guarding that animal. The omniscient Omnipotent PK can rightly judge. (2) POLLUTION OF THE WATERS OF THE WORLD. The Si's give mankind just 90 days...to pass this word on around the world...before they begin their own PK action. Humans will no longer be ALLOWED to foul up the rivers, streams, lakes and oceans. The Si's give humans just 90 more days to quit fouling the waters of the earth...THEN THEY WILL TURN ALL THE WATERS OF THE EARTH AGAINST ALL HUMANS...AGAINST MANKIND...AND IT WILL BE AN ALL-CUT WAR. And they remind us that we get the air we breathe from the seas and the oceans. The choice is ours to make. (3) The Si's have made a concrete decision. Remember, I managed to persuade the Si's to allow the Apollo 12 and 13 astronauts to return back to earth. The Si's had intended at that time to teach mankind a lesson by destroying the astronauts...but in deference to their only human link, myself, they softened. No more. Their warning today is loud and clear. They are now making the space around the earth, orbital space, deadly to humans. From now on any humans passing through the orbital zone or going into orbit...will be attacked by the same PK which the ancient Egyptians used to place in their tombs to attack those who opened the seal on the tombs. It is a guarantee of a tragic, violent death. If the next Apollo shot goes up...it does so after having been fairly warned by the Si's in this Contact letter. The Si's tell mankind to forget the moon...the Si's are trying to get the earth back into good condition. "Business as usual" people and politicians and the military will not like this at all. But the Si's say it is the only way. And they'll be hard about it. This applies to Americans, Russians, whatever. They say: GET YOUR EARTH BACK INTO GOOD CONDITION BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT OUTER SPACE...then after we get our earth back into balance with Nature...the Si's will allow us to make the outer space gambit. (Interesting: the Si's told me that the oceans and seas have a deep intelligence which we humans are not aware of...because of the limitations of our senses that cannot comprehend or understand.) Incidentally, see my '71 prediction letter of Jan. 14. Billy Graham has just had his operation...and Sinatra has just retired permanently (to spend all his time with family, and with "a persistent pain in his right hand." (Cancer?) I have many more things to tell you...but will have to wait until I am able, financially, to do so. Am awaiting to hear from a deal now...that could make it so...and make it possible for me to team with the Si's and Nature to make the earth and mankind healthy and at peace. In closing...the Si's, in a goodwill gesture toward our govt., warn that militants will next use rockets and mortars in a surprise attack on our White House and other key buildings around it..Viet Cong style. It will be a "symbolic" attack, like the bomb that was planted in one of the buildings a short while ago. PS Am putting fire and drought on the U.S. Ted Owens (PK MAN) Owens Ted Owens - PK Man Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Va. 23514 === Page 9 of 9 *And I am a member of Mensa! March 31, 1971 TO ALL CONTACTS The Si's...are pouring information into my mind! After getting your new letter ready today, enclosed (dated April 2, according to Si instructions)...they contacted me mentally...and told me the following: They said...for me to somehow try to become president of the U.S: To write to Senators, key people...and get it done! I was incredulous, naturally...for many reasons. One is that I am not the type. I would not want to be President. Another reason...I hate politics...know nothing about it. At Duke, when the Dean told me to take Political Science I attended one class...then quit and refused. I couldn't care less how many seats who has what. Another reason...I know that the Si's detest and despise politicians. But then they argued with me: there would be no problem of trying to arrange a liaison between them, the Si's, and our govt. I could set it up, as President! Also, with the other-dimensional powers they have given me (which I've used and documented, remember) I would make the greatest President in history...far surpassing Lincoln (my personal favorite). They pointed out also...that my link with them...would give our country extra power for good, to bring about the many many changes necessary for this country to "get well" and get back to real values. They pointed out...that my link with them...would help this country not only cope with, but change, the countries who are now our enemies. They pointed out...that with all of my vast experience with people (I've learned 50 professions...all kinds of people in those professions) I would make a wonderful President, understanding all races, creeds, colors. (Because I've mingled with them all). * And above all...they promised to put all of their fantastic powers...into helping the U.S. become a wonderful, truly great country...based on valid, true values...instead of what now exists! In this way, they told me, if I were President of the U.S., then they could actually use the entire U.S. as a safe base...to make friends with us and guide us...instead of trying to get a small protected base at Cape Kennedy, as they have been trying to do! That's it! Know anybody who would want to run me for President? I'll tell you one thing...after listening to what the Si's say...and thinking about it...I believe that I could advance the United States at least 500 years during my brief tenure in public office in Washington. Knowing what I know...knowing who I know (Si's)...and doing what I do. Think of it! If I were President, and there was a hurricane heading for Florida...I could steer it away myself! Not pay a billion afterwards in disaster funds. Came a terrible drought in the country...I could end it myself...not pay a billion out of public taxes afterwards to aid the poor farmers. I could give the rain! Oh, before I close. Enclosed is news...the greatest break-through in UFO news. Govt. admits to finding UFO base...saw UFO's at arm's length range...states unequivocally now that they are real! First such admission. Backs up Otto Binder's articles.

NOTICE: (Am starting with all this 'fanfare' because of the drastic, dynamic, volatile nature of this special Si communication!) The Si's communicated with me, and told me to hurry, to get this message to the government, to scientists, and to the people. They are erecting a deadline. Setting up a deadline for action. If their representative...me...should not be hired by one of several rich men now contemplating the action...thus making it possible for the Si's and myself to help and aid mankind as a whole...should I be hired, that is)...then the Si's announce that they will do the following, in the near time ahead: ATTACK AND DESTROY THE U.S. STOCK MARKET AND THE U.S. ECONOMY. They say...if our country is in trouble now financially, at least "the house is still standing". Shaky though it may be. They, the Si's, will bring our house down around our ears. They will make the United States go totally broke, everywhere at once. Starting with our stock market. Should I be hired, and thus be enabled to work with them, the Si's, to help the U.S., plus mankind as a whole...in that event the Si's will use the same powers they have to rescue the United States from its present difficulties. For those of you Contacts who might be skeptical of this letter...let me remind you...that some years ago, when the East Coast was gripped in a terrible drought...I announced that the Si's would end the six-year-long drought, bring the rains, and help the East Coast, just as a demonstration of their powers. Following my announcement, by written letter to Contacts and over the Jack McKinney "Night Talk" Radio Show in Philadelphia, and over the "Talk of Philadelphia" Radio Show... the rains came to the east coast, and the six-year-drought ended. The Si's mean what they say. They do not "speak with a forked tongue". Since I have had no word...from the 3 rich men contemplating hiring me (at a salary lower than that of good pro basketball players)...then it might very well be that this letter you are reading now...will signal the end...of America as we have known it in our lifetime. Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Va. 23514 === Page 2 of 13 GOVERNMENT PHYSICIST DISCOVERS UFO CONTACTS... THIS IS VITALLY IMPORTANT!! by FRANK NELSON Unidentified Flying Objects are using an isolated island in the Bahamas as a base for monitoring U.S. space flights and for a staging area to collect human "specimens" from earth. Dr. Jonathon Wright, National Aeronautics and Space Administration physicist, revealed this startling news at his Nassau hotel last week after returning from a 3-month research cruise through the outer islands. "There is no question about it," Dr. Wright said, "we have absolute proof that UFOs periodically land on a tiny shoal about 50 miles off Grand Cayman." Dr. Wright heads a special-priority UFO investigative department in NASA. He also participated in the UFO study carried out for the air force at the University of Colorado two years ago. The NASA team was drawn to the Bahamas shortly before Christmas when two more ships and an airplane mysteriously disappeared in an area called "the Bermuda Triangle". Over 120 ships and planes have vanished so far in a triangular area of ocean between Bermuda, Miami and the Bahamas. "We've wondered for years what was going on in that area," said Dr. Wright. "At the Cape Kennedy control center we would get strange electronic blips during launch times. Our instruments showed that they came from this area. "Then there were all the famous disappearances of airplanes and ships in the triangle. On top of that we had several accounts of UFO sightings from some of the islands. "So when the two ships and the plane disappeared in December, we decided to have a look," he continued. "We took a small boat full of electronic equipment out to one of the small islands and sat and waited." After two weeks Dr. Wright reported that his research team sighted three bright, circular objects descend toward the horizon not too far away. Then, a week later they took off again and disappeared in the night sky. Dr. Wright moved his small boat in for a closer look and two weeks later the three objects landed again. Evidence Indicates Of Over 120 Ships In Mysterious B... Was Caused By [Map of the Atlantic Ocean showing the Bermuda Triangle area] TRIANGLE called 'twilight zone' marks area of many strange disappearances [Portrait of Dr. Jonathon Wright] DR. JONATHON WRIGHT claims he has found UFO base in Bahamas "This time we were very close," he reported. "We could see two small windows in the tiny craft. The UFOs themselves were shaped like tuna fish cans and could hover and fly sideways." Dr. Wright says his team landed on the small island and walked toward the strange machines but he won't say what he saw when they arrived. "Someday I suppose the full report will be made public," he said, "but not yet. All I can say is when we got very close to the objects, they took off with incredible speed and headed into the sky in the direction of Bermuda." Dr. Wright says there is a definite link between the mysterious radio signals received at Cape Kennedy and the disappearance of small === Page 3 of 13 Florida Coast in Bahamas. UFO base is said this area DESERTED ISLAND such as this one is used by UFOs, according to an as yet unreleased NASA study large mother ship, or UFO, hovers several hundred miles above the Triangle and watches everything that goes on there. Then, when there is going to be a moonshot or something of interest, it sends down the small reconnaissance UFOs. "Those are the ones we saw on the island and, based on what they were doing, we can say that they were monitoring our January 25 moonshot. "They are very careful about the whole thing so as not to panic the people on earth. They only watch one scientific development, our moon program, and only take one or two specimens every 2 or 3 years." Dr. Wright won't explain exactly how he thinks the ships and planes disappear, but he hints that the huge UFO mother ship comes down to the surface and actually lifts whole yachts out of the water, or flies alongside a wouldn't arouse suspicion since small planes and yachts are always disappearing. "People don't get too upset because few people seem to care when a rich person disappears in his private boat or plane. That's just one of the risks of sailing or flying. "And these people make perfect specimens for the space creatures to study. They are usually quite intelligent men, business leaders, important officials and so on. "I can tell you one thing," said Dr. Wright. "I'm never going back to that island in a small boat and I'm never going to fly across the Bermuda Triangle."

The veteran quarterback injured his right foot while playing paddle ball Wednesday, and underwent 75 minutes of surgery, starting at 6 p.m. "The surgery confirmed the early diagnosis of a ruptured Achilles tendon," Colts' spokesman said. "The tendon was separated about two inches above the right heel. The separation was repaired and Colt doctors are optimistic about the surgery." Unitas is expected to be in a cast for about six weeks. Baltimore halfback Tom Matte, who was playing with Unitas when he was injured, drove Unitas to Union Memorial Hospital. Later, when Matte drove to Havre de Grace, Md., on a business trip, he suffered an attack of bleeding ulcers and also has been admitted to the same hospital. Unitas, the leading passer of all time, holds records for the most attempts, most completions, most touchdowns and most yardage gained. The 36-year-old veteran of 15 years in the National Football League was injured about 11 a.m., the Colts said. General Manager Don Klosterman of the Colts said the prognosis for recovery was good. "I am told the prognosis is good. (Possibly he will play this season,)" Klosterman said. When asked about preparing backup quarterback, Klosterman said "Well, we are very fortunate to have Earl Morrall . . ." and George Myra, Sam Havrilak and Carl Douglas. By Sprinkle Note April 8, 1971..........TO ALL PRO FOOTBALL TEAMS The attached newsclip is a "special delivery letter to you, from my Si's (UFO intelligences). What am I talking about? Weeks ago...Don Klosterman, General Manager of the Colts, dropped me a line inquiring about my reason for using "PK" on the World Champion Colts. I answered and explained that I must demonstrate each year...my incredible powers...by holding back the winner of the Pro Championship the following season...as I have done with the Jets and Kansas City Chiefs...and now must do with the Colts. I warned Mr. Klosterman and Mr. Rosenbloom Sr. specifically and clearly that my mental attack had already been placed in motion against the Colts...was effecting them now...and if they intended to hire me they had better do it quickly before the PK began to tear the team apart. (You don't believe this? Then check with the two gentlemen.) They ignored me (always a terrible mistake, but no one seems to learn from it) and so two of their fine stars are zonked...Unitas and Matte, both in the same hospital at the same time...both struck down in the same relative time period of 24 hours. Also just recently my number two target, PK target, the Cowboys...have had two star players (one their quarterback, also) and one of their coaches zonked.

I keep on giving these fantastic demonstrations of how 150-some-odd other-dimensional powers can take pro teams apart, stop them cold, etc., yet none of them seems to want this hair-raising power on their side!

"It's simply that I need the money. They just don't understand the kind of hair-raising power that's in my possession." Features SECTION H Hex Maniac Assaults NFL Colts for $100,000 NORFOLK, Va. -(AP)- Norfolk's resident Evil Eye Fleagle, Ted Owens, has zonked the world champion Baltimore Colts and wants a $100,000 check to remove the hex and keep them on the pro football pedestal. Owens, who claims mind-over-matter psychic powers, wrote the Colts Feb. 2 warning that "I intend to attack the world champions of pro football with my mind." The doleful result of such an attack, Owens says, would be that the Colts will "have key injuries in the coming season to key players, losing games they shouldn't lose." And the threats of the Wizard of the Withering Look haven't gone unheeded by the Colt management. Colt President Carroll Rosenbloom wrote Owens on March 4: "Please believe me when I request that you remove us from your list of losers. If you will please advise me as to a course of action which we could follow to have us removed from this category, I will do whatever I can to comply. "I note with great interest your record of accomplishments and trust you will intervene with the space intelligences on our behalf." Rosenbloom concluded by suggesting a meeting with Owens. Owens said the Colts' answers to his letters were "unsatisfactory" since he demanded $100,000, which hasn't been forthcoming, to remove the hex. "I need the money," he said, "to finance a home away from sordid commercial interests and to pay for a trip to Europe, where I intend to study the research of an Asian friend who developed a method of dropping birds from trees by the sound waves of his whistle. "I think I can improve on his system and get greater distance and velocity with a tuning fork." And what if the $100,000 were to be paid? Why, says Owens, "I could sit in the stands and destroy the Colts' opponents play-by-play ... Or they could use me theatrically-with a canopy over my head or something denoting the presence of a resident psychic." Owens says he formulated the hex against Baltimore in "about 10 seconds" in February by drawing a square with the word "Colts" inside on a piece of paper and "mentally imposing special other Continued on page 77. === Page 7 of 13 4/15/71 Dr. Sprinkle # Lawrence Maddry NORFOLK'S RESIDENT Evil Eye Fleagle has zonked the World Championship Baltimore Colts into an old gray nightmare and wants a $100,000 check to remove the hex and put 'em back where they used to be. Ted Owens, Norfolk's resident psychic and the most interesting bad-eye proponent of mind over matter since Sophie Tucker winked and hung up her garters, is at it again. His explanation is as follows: "On Feb. 21 I first wrote the Colts saying I intended to attack the world champions of pro football with my mind, so that they would have key injuries in the coming season to key players, losing games they shouldn't lose, to stop them from repeating as champions." ## Colts Need Luckiest Horseshoes The Colts defeated the Dallas Cowboys 16-13 in the Jan. 17 Super Bowl in Miami. After Owens' letter to the Colts, a series of letters were exchanged with the Colts' management. Learning of Owens' reputation as a wizard of the withering look (his ability to communicate with space people, create storms, and predict the future has been chronicled in a series of articles by Otto Binder in Saga magazine), the Colts' leadership was wintering in Miami with sweltering palms. It resulted in a letter from Baltimore Colts President Carroll Rosenbloom, written in apparent desperation to Owens March 4. Rosenbloom wrote: "For the life of me, I can't understand what the Colts have done to warrant a place on your list of losers for the 1971 season. "I would believe you when I request that you remove us from your list of losers. If you will please advise me as to a course of action that we should follow to have us removed from this category, I will do whatever I can to comply. I note with great interest your record of achievements and trust you will intercede with the space intelligences on our behalf." ROSENBLOOM CONCLUDED by requesting a meeting with the king of the badlook who claims to have slung more misfortune with his eyeballs than Slinging Sammy did at TCU. Owens said the Colts' answers to his letters were "unsatisfactory" since he demanded $100,000, which has not been forthcoming. "I need the money," Owens explained, "to finance a home away from sordid commercial interests and pay for a European trip where I intend to study the research of an Asian friend who developed a method of dropping birds from trees by the sound waves from his whistle. "I think I can improve on his system and get greatest distance and velocity with a tuning fork," he added. Owens has been frustrated by the Colts' apparent lack of interest in his $100,000 offer. "I could sit in the stands and destroy the Colts opponents play by play if they would cooperate," he explained. "They could pay me theatrically if they prefer... with a canopy over my head or something denoting the presence of a resident psychic." Frustrated by the Colts' indifference, Owens has been systematically destroying the team, he says, with intense concentration. "For about 10 seconds in February I took a sheet of paper and made a square with the word 'Colts' inside it and mentally imposed special other dimensional effects including red and black units." It was, he said, pretty much like setting the clock on a time bomb. Meanwhile, for whatever reason, the Colts have been falling apart like a Nixon speech. On April 7, the Colts' star quarterback, Johnny Unitas, considered the finest pro quarterback ever, mysteriously injured his right foot while playing paddleball. HE WAS RUSHED to the hospital by Baltimore Colts halfback Tom Matte, who later came down with a case of bleeding ulcers while on a business trip to Havre de Grace, Md. Both are now ensconced in Baltimore's Union Memorial Hospital. Five other key Colts players are also on the injured list. Since the Unitas-Matte injuries, Colts' President Rosenbloom has gone into hiding. "I have nothing against the Colts per se," Owens explained, "it's simply that I need the money." Owens, a former professional knife-thrower and one-time secretary to Dr. J. B. Rhine, the nation's leading expert in parapsychology, has claimed similar feats to a skeptical public. His most incredible verified sports performance occurred years ago when Philadelphia Daily News columnist Stan Hockman watched him. Hockman wrote in a piece for the Daily News in which he challenged Owens to prove that he could do what he claimed, during a game involving the Philadelphia Eagles. Owens told the columnist that space intelligence would assist him in getting Philadelphia Eagles fullbacks and halfbacks out of the game. Owens said he would do it by mentally superimposing clumps of hair, like wigs, on the backs of the players. Hockman reported that shortly after the remark, Woodeshick was ejected from the game for fighting. The Norfolk Evil Eye has since become more sophisticated and will probably experiment with his tuning fork on the Colts until his conditions are met. "They simply don't understand the kind of hair-raising power that's in my possession," Owens said. He thumped the shiny metal fork with his finger, producing a curious hum. "Why," he said, "I could put sounds in their ears, so they couldn't hear the signals." Virginia-Pilot Photo by L. H. King Owens uses a tuning fork to whammy a Colts poster. === Page 8 of 13 April 11, 1971...TO ALL CONTACTS (1) Enclosed is a sample...of many, many letters I have from people... who tell me...of miracles which have happened after receiving their charged and coded disc. In this case...a woman who couldn't walk... got her disc...and now walks. (2) I assumed you-all would be able to understand what is obvious... by my sending you that xerox of newsclip of Dr. Wright and the NASA scientists finding a UFO base in the Bahamas. But in case you missed the point, let me spell it out. THE SI'S WANTED HIM TO FIND THEIR BASE. THEY PLANNED IT THAT WAY. ...Go back a little, in my contact letters to you...maybe four or five months, somewhere in there...I wrote to the President and told him that my Si's powers issued FROM THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE, in the Bahamas. I offered to him to be set adrift in a boat for 30 days within the triangle...with a submerged sub as company to photograph the whole thing...and I'd try to "talk the Si's down"...to prove their reality. Well, instead of taking me up on it...the NASA team, loaded down with electronic gear, went down there. They not only saw the UFO's flying, landing, and taking off...but they walked up to them while they were parked on the beach!! Then the scientists done strange things. As you know, the U.S. Govt. has always insisted that there no such critters as UFO's. But now the govt. does an about face...not only states the UFO's are real, but that extraterrestrials man them! All this, of course, backs up Otto Binder's recent articles on me in Saga...he even wrote in the articles of my offer to spend 30 days in the Bermuda Triangle. But there is more. In the article about Dr. Wright and the NASA team... it stated that the scientists at Cape Kennedy had been receiving, for some time, mysterious radio signals from the Bermuda Triangle area... especially at launch times when important rocket shots were going up. Now...you all know, or should know...of my work for several years... in using PK to affect space shots. That is, before and at launch time...I issue forth signals of my own, from my brain, aimed at Cape Kennedy...and the NASA activity there. When you put it all together... me linked with the Si's...me aiming PK effects at launchings...radio signals aimed at the Cape from the Bermuda Triangle during launchings... then the finding of the UFO base at the source of the mysterious radio signals...this all ties together like the laces on a football. It ties me and the Si's together. Just as they have found out in the Bahamas that the UFO's are for real...NOW THEY CAN KNOW THAT I AM FOR REAL! (Aside from my many miracles, hundreds, documented and proven.) Do you understand my point? And further...since the Si's are advanced past us to an unlimited degree...DO YOU THINK FOR ONE MOMENT THEIR BASE COULD HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED UNLESS THEY WANTED IT TO BE DISCOVERED...EVEN TO ALLOWING NASA SCIENTISTS TO WALK UP TO THE VEHICLES ON THE BEACH? What the Si's were "saying" by allowing this to happen...more, arranging for it to happen...was: "Here we are, we are real, we are functioning...and Owens, or PK Man, who has said we have a base of power in the Bahamas...was right. And it is we who worked with Owens at rocket-launching time at the Cape, to affect space shots!" Think about it, Contacts.

As Otto Binder said in Saga, I use a "shotgun approach." Not one single ODE system, but multiple systems. And there is an intelligent reason for both of these attacks. They aren't just being done maliciously, for no reason. One thing you can look for in this blazing summer...a DIFFERENT KIND OF HEAT. The Si's have explained it to me crudely...they said ordinarily there is a "filter" layer of some sort between earth and sun...just like a filter lens on a camera. They have removed this filter layer...to let the sun straight through. This will cause strange and weird heat effects...so that you will KNOW this summer's record heat and drought is NOT of the ordinary kind. Now let's see what happens. Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 12 of 13 Lawrence Maddry Leo VIRGINIAN-PILOT APRIL 27, '71 CALL HIM WHAT YOU WILL--Svengali or Sultan or Swami--Ted Owens of Norfolk may best be described as a Wizard of Odds. This incredible man is betting his own mind-over-matter reputation against the management of pro football and basketball squads. He's trying to make a buck on The Baltimore Colts and straight shooters out of the Baltimore Bullets with no more than ESP and a tuning fork. He claims he's getting away with it, and it may be so. No matter what happens there hasn't been such a display of the backside of sports since Gussie Moran went in for lace panties. As you recall, gentle reader, there appeared here, about a week ago a story about Norfolk's Eagle Eye Fleagle Ted Owens. Owens wrote Baltimore Colts board chairman Carroll Rosenbloom that unless the Colts paid him $100,000 he would destroy the club with a mental trumpet the likes of which have not been seen since Joshua blew taps around Jericho. # Fork Cuts Into World Of Sports Rosenbloom wrote him to lay off but expressed an interest in meeting with Owens sometime, doubtless noting that since the letter his quarterback John Unitas and halfback Tom Matte had experienced injuries. After an exchange of letters, Rosenbloom is now talking money. On April 12 Owens received a letter from Rosenbloom noting: "If you could receive permission from Commissioner Pete Rozelle, to aid us for the $25,000 fee, we then, in good conscience, could give your proposal serious consideration. "Again, thank you for your offer to let us off the hook, we certainly will do everything reasonable to assure our continued success." If Rosenbloom truly thinks Owens is a modern Mephistopheles, why does he need Rozelle's approval? This kind of linament-headed thinking is what persuades people that professional sports in this country is being run by charlie-horse headed homo sapiens whose thinking runs in the same direction as Wrong-Way Corrigan. Owens says he needs $100,000 to finance a home in the country and do further research on the tuning fork which he has now perfected to such an extent that he can now move turtles from one side of their bowl to another. He obviously is the only person connected with this debacle who knows what he's doing. He will lay off and put the hex on the Colts' opponents for $100,000. It is a matter of indifference to him whether he puts the bad eye on Colts' opponents under a canopy in the stands or hides beneath the floor in darkened watery passageways, like the Phantom of the Opera. IT IS OBVIOUS that Mr. Rozelle's jurisdiction doesn't extend to the sewer. If it does he has found his place and we have no further quarrel with him. It is this business of passing the buck that we object to. Speaking of passing the Bucks, the Norfolk Eagle Eye Fleagle has also offered to use his restorative mental powers on injured Baltimore Bullets basketball star Gus Johnson. The Bullets are now engaged in a do-or-die battle with the Milwaukee Bucks for the National Basketball Association Championship. On Sunday's ABC Television Sports coverage of the game an announcer noted that Owens had offered his services to Bullets' coach Gene Shue and that Shue had turned him down. "It made me furious," Owens said. "The score was about even when he made the remark and I immediately phoned The Baltimore Sun and told them I was going to mentally destroy the Bullets in the second half." The Sun has confirmed the conversation. OWENS CLAIMED he used his finger with "a lightning effect" pointing it to the TV screen in his home. "I also put a mental lid over the basket when the Bullets were shooting," he said. Whatever the cause, it is curious to note that The Associated Press reports of the game state that the Bullets "fell apart" during the second half. They lost, 102-83, and the Bucks have a two-game lead in the best of seven series. One writer noted that the Bullets looked as awkward as Ernest Borgnine at a meeting of the Colonial Dames. Owens' recent activities have gotten a rise out of The Baltimore Sun sports writers and were chronicled also in a Washington Post column which marched off, understandably, in all directions. But it's money for tuning-fork research that Owens is after. "I'm not an idiot or a nut," he said. "But I'm becoming very impassioned." He pinged his finger against the tuning fork, producing a ringing hum, like wet fingers rubbed on the rim of a crystal glass. "What I can do with that is so powerful," he said, "it even frightens me sometimes." === Page 13 of 13 Sprinkle WASHINGTON POST TUES, APRIL 20, '71 On Today's Scene # Hexer Convinces 'Bewitched' Colts **With William Gildea** JUST WHEN George Allen and all his old Rams got to town, and everybody's hopes were so high for next football season, it appears the Redskins have found yet another way to lose. They're probably doomed, and they don't know it. They've been hexed by the Evil Eye Fleagle of Norfolk, Va., fellow named Ted Owens, who claims mind-over-matter psychic powers. The Redskins shouldn't get the wrong idea. It's not that he couldn't get a season ticket, or anything like that. He's only vaguely heard of George Allen. The Evil Eye has it in for 13 National Football League teams he apparently thinks will be "the best ones." Since the Patriots, as well as the Redskins, are on the list, it should already be apparent he knows something we don't. The Colts are his prime target, however. Even in the business of unleashing "psychokinetic" power or PK, which is what he says he does, the idea is to knock off No. 1. On Feb. 2, he wrote a letter to the Colts warning, "I intend to attack the world champions of pro football with my mind." Could we now have an inkling of the cause of that most devastating paddle-ball game in which Johnny Unitas ripped off Achilles tendon and his paddle mate, Tom Matte, came down with appendicitis, and both ended up in the same hospital that night? The Norfolk psychic says he makes no predictions as to the exact nature of a team's bad luck. OWENS HAS A reason for hexing all these football teams. "Spatial intelligences," he says, have reported that creating this flap in pro football is the best way of getting the attention of the American people. So far he is having trouble getting the attention of the pro football people, which apparently accounts for his negative approach. He claims he'd rather help the teams, except no one will listen. Well, almost no one. The exception, he says, is Carroll Rosenbloom, chairman of the board of the Colts. That paddle-ball game must have him wondering. Owens says Rosenbloom has written him twice and quotes the Colts' official as saying: "Please believe me when I request that you remove us from your list of losers. If you will please advise me as to a course of action which we could follow to have us removed from this category, I will do whatever I can to comply." THAT WAS Rosenbloom's first response, which also acknowledged Owens' accomplishments outside of sports. It is said he has provoked some storms, literally. After the paddle-ball game, Rosenbloom wrote again. By this time it seems he was ready to declare the Norfolk wizard the Colt's MVP. Except for league rules. Owens relates that Rosenbloom said his "fellow owners would never forgive me" for signing him up, but suggested approaching Pete Rozelle for "league approval." Owens isn't very confident Rozelle will understand the message. But, looking into the future, Owens declares, "PK at sports events will become a regular thing. There will be PK masters on each side of the field willing that their team win." NO WONDER Owens calls Rosenbloom "a nice fellow ... the smartest man in pro football." Consider how lightly another team treated him. He offered to make the Philadelphia Eagles world champions, no small undertaking. You'd think they'd try anything, considering their plight, but they only gave Owens a one-game tryout. Even a raw rookie cornerback gets more. Owens says he agreed to hit the Pittsburgh Steelers with PK one Sunday, but warned the Eagles it was up to them to do their part. "Sure, enough," he said, "Pittsburgh dropped balls, lost fumbles, everything." Except the Eagles were worse, lost the game, and Owens was out. Well, you know what happened to Jerry Wolman and that franchise. Undoubtedly, George Allen won't make the same mistake. They say he thinks of everything. He'll probably invite all the PK champions to an early camp. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I also warned Evelyn Goodman, of Miami, Florida (wife of a prominent architect there) that Florida would be struck with a terrible drought...quite some time ago. She wrote back that it was raining down there copiously (this was quite some time ago, you see). I wrote her back to just wait...until the PK built up.

But this drought, gentlemen, is only beginning...even though the water table in Florida is dropping an inch a day...the drought must continue until I get the financial help that I need to carry out the Si assignments, $100,000. Perhaps someone high up in government might listen, I really don't know. Texas has suffered a billion dollars already in drought damage; two thirds of Oklahoma is, I understand, a disaster area from drought. And large portions of Florida are burned up, or burning up. As I wrote to you last winter, in my regular Contact correspondence, this summer will be a searing hot blazing hell in the United States (check your file and see). It isn't just the lack of rain...but the penetrating effect of the sun's rays, in an unprecedented manner, that is causing this record drought...the "lens effect" that I explained to you in a recent letter. Am I doing it? Are the Si's doing it? What ODE (other-dimensional effects, of which I have 180 to use) methods are brought into play? Well, that's my secret. Since I am not a scientist, then I can be unscientific. But I do keep you well informed what is ahead. And what is ahead...is more of the same penetrating drought which will make this a nightmare summer...for the United States, and the farmers and ranchers. Unless I get my help so that I can help the Si's. If I do...get the help...then I can change the picture entirely, with Si help...bringing relief and rain to the entire United States quickly, thoroughly, gently and consistently. If...that is...I get the help I need. No answer to this is needed. But by now you know what I can do...and it would be wise to pass the word on, if you can...to persons who might be willing to make a deal with the Si's...in order to keep the U.S. from frying. Ted Owens (PK Man) - Owens === Page 2 of 13 May 11, 1971 President Nixon White House Washington, D.C. Dear President Nixon: My name is Ted Owens, called the "PK Man". I refer you to articles in Saga Magazine, written by Mr. Otto Binder, in Aug. and Sept., 1970, issues; also January, March and April issues. Also I just finished giving a trifling, relatively unimportant demonstration of my ability to control a pro basketball team mentally...written up in the Baltimore Sun Newspaper, the Washington Post, and the local paper in Norfolk. However, this is digressing. For quite a long while...I have wondered what the UFO intelligences (same ones discovered by your NASA team in the Bahamas, led by Dr. Wright) had in mind for me, their only human representative and confidant. I have been communicating with them for about six years, back and forth...and documenting it with lawyers, scientists, etc. Today, just ten minutes ago...they broke through to my mind and told me what they want now. It is a different plan than they have had...but it is necessitated because, although they have proven that they are quite real...and proven that they communicate with me, by aforesaid documentation...no human, or human agency, has cooperated with me...in their, the SI (UFO), effort to save mankind by putting things to right in the world, bringing mankind back into balance, and friendship, with Nature...and blocking an oncoming nuclear war. It is their wish now...that I be made a member of the United Nations. The UFO's wish to be represented. By myself. I will be their ambassador of goodwill. In this capacity, it will be my duty to constantly bring about miracles, through SI-power, all over the world...constructive miracles...to help get the world back into proper order. This, actually, is the only real objective of the UFO's...always has been...but negative demonstrations have been necessary in order to prove their reality, their powers, through me, with advance documentation of what they would do. I do urge you to give this unprecedented suggestion serious thought. My credentials are quite solid...am a member of Mensa, thus am no "man on the street"...and I have proven time and again my solid connection with the UFO intelligences. A priceless gift for the human race, this would be, if it were accepted. Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens Ted Owens - Pk. Man Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Va. 23514 === Page 3 of 13 May 10, 1971..........TO ALL CONTACTS Dr. Sprinkle The enclosed material..will show you that I am just as accurate as ever in my "PK work". Causing things to happen. (1) Is copy of my letter to you of March 23, 1971...stating that the Si's would, from now on, attack space shots. (Also see my P.S. that I was putting fire and drought on the U.S.) (2) Newsclips from today's papers...the Mars rocket shot which NASA had spent years preparing...fell into the Atlantic Ocean. NASA wonders why. They should have read my contact letter to you...then they would know why. (3) Is a copy of a letter that I sent to Dr. Max Fogel on March 30...in which I spell out exactly, in detail, how I am going to apply fire and drought to the U.S! My "PK work" with other-dimensional mechanisms...has been fantastically successful. I assume you've been reading in the papers and seeing TV news stories about Texas, Oklahoma, Florida...and other drought-stricken areas of the U.S. Also you will note that almost daily now there are tornado attacks over the U.S. This is because of the "grid" that I have activated over the U.S. an "ODE grid", containing mechanisms from the other dimension. Last week was on the Allen Douglas Show, radio, Cleveland, Ohio, for an hour in the evening (NBC). (Show covers 38 States). Also was on the David Webster show in Norfolk, radio, WOWI, for half an hour. Enclosed is xerox of page from Sports Illustrated magazine, May 3, 1971...which contains an article on my work. The writer was a bit haywire. I have never been in or even near, a carnival...either to attend one or to throw knives in one. And instead of his "photokinetic" substitute psychokinetic. Also coming up in the near future...an article in Sport Magazine, which you can look for. Am keeping you posted...on what I am doing, accomplishing, and why. Ted Owens (PK Man) Ted Owens - Pk. Man Box 3134 CHS Norfolk, Va. 23514 Hows my "Nevada PK" doing? Not only has Nevada had recent earthquakes but Nevada is now "sinking"!! The land level is falling!! I just got this report. Owens The Si's told me last night... that the U.S. will be in danger of "physical take-over" within 8 weeks' time. This is hard for me to believe. But they said it. Owens PS - This xerox and mailing, cost me $15. Anyone want to chip in a few bucks to help out? === Page 4 of 13 File March 23, 1971...TO ALL CONTACTS (Attention: Govt. agencies and scientists!) All right...this message is VITAL. The Si's communicated with me today and told me to pass on the following (and SOMEBODY had better LISTEN and get it out to the PEOPLE): (1) again they warn that ALL ANIMALS IN THE WORLD now are armed! (Keep in mind that big seal-boat which the ice just sank after baby seals were killed). The rule is: any hunter or human who kills an animal, and does not need it for food directly...will be tracked down and destroyed himself by the PK guarding that animal. The omniscient Omnipotent PK can rightly judge. (2) POLLUTION OF THE WATERS OF THE WORLD. The Si's give mankind just 90 days...to pass this word on around the world...before they begin their own PK action. Humans will no longer be ALLOWED to foul up the rivers, streams, lakes and oceans. The Si's give humans just 90 more days to quit fouling the waters of the earth...THEN THEY WILL TURN ALL THE WATERS OF THE EARTH AGAINST ALL HUMANS...AGAINST MANKIND...AND IT WILL BE AN ALL-OUT WAR. And they remind us that we get the air we breathe from the seas and the oceans. The choice is ours to make. (3) The Si's have made a concrete decision. Remember, I managed to persuade the Si's to allow the Apollo 12 and 13 astronauts to return back to earth. The Si's had intended at that time to teach mankind a lesson by destroying the astronauts...but in deference to their only human link, myself, they softened. No more. Their warning today is loud and clear. They are now making the space around the earth, orbital space, deadly to humans. From now on any humans passing through the orbital zone or going into orbit...will be attacked by the same PK which the ancient Egyptians used to place in their tombs to attack those who opened the seal on the tombs. It is a guarantee of a tragic, violent death. If the next Apollo shot goes up...it does so after having been fairly warned by the Si's in this Contact letter. The Si's tell mankind to forget the moon...the Si's are trying to get the earth back into good condition. "Business as usual" people and politicians and the military will not like this at all. But the Si's say it is the only way. And they'll be hard about it. This applies to Americans, Russians, whatever. They say: GET YOUR EARTH BACK INTO GOOD CONDITION BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT OUTER SPACE...then after we get our earth back into balance with Nature...the Si's will allow us to make the outer space gambit. (Interesting: the Si's told me that the oceans and seas have a deep intelligence which we humans are not aware of...because of the limitations of our senses that cannot comprehend or understand.) Incidentally, see my '71 prediction letter of Jan. 14. Billy Graham has just had his operation...and Sinatra has just retired permanently (to spend all his time with family, and with "a persistent pain in his right hand." (Cancer?) I have many more things to tell you...but will have to wait until I am able, financially, to do so. Am awaiting to hear from a deal now...that could make it so...and make it possible for me to team with the Si's and Nature to make the earth and mankind healthy and at peace. In closing...the Si's, in a goodwill gesture toward our govt., warn that militants will next use rockets and mortars in a surprise attack on our White House and other key buildings around it..Viet Cong style. It will be a "symbolic" attack, like the bomb that was planted in one of the buildings a short while ago.

(AP) -An attempt to send multimillion-dollar spacecraft Mariner 8 to an orbit of the planet Mars failed Saturday night when the second stage of the booster rocket tumbled out of control and plummeted into the Atlantic Ocean. "The mission is lost," the launch control center announced 15 minutes after an 11-story tall Atlas-Centaur rocket blazed away from Cape Kennedy at 9:11 EDT to hurl the 2,200-pound explorer toward its distant target. A spokesman for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said the first stage performed perfectly during its first four minutes of flight and that the Centaur stage had separated and ignited but moments later there was trouble. "We had a serious problem," he said. "Our tracking charts fell off and we were not on course." Officials reported after studying radio data that the second stage began to deviate from course about 20 seconds after ignition and that it tumbled out of control at an altitude of 92 miles. They said the rocket stage and its precious payload fell into the Atlantic Ocean about 900 miles southeast of Cape Kennedy, some 250 miles north of Puerto Rico. Initial examination of data indicated there was electronic failure in the flight control system of the Centaur stage. The failure was a bitter disappointment for scientists of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., who built the payload, the first intended to orbit another planet. They had been working several years to develop it and a twin-spacecraft Mariner 9. Mariner 9 had been scheduled (See Mars, Page A4) Mars Try Fails 5/9/71 From Page 1 for launching toward an orbit of Mars May 18 but that flight probably will be delayed because of the trouble Saturday night. Experts will want to determine precisely what went wrong with the Centaur stage before committing to another launch. The space agency has until June 17 to launch Mariner 9. Then Mars moves out of favorable position, and will not be available for a target again until July 1973. No decision on Mariner 9 is expected for several days. Its Atlas Centaur rocket is sitting on a launch pad adjacent to the one used Saturday night. Total cost of the two missions is $153.6 million. The Centaur stage was to have fired for seven and one-half minutes to thrust Mariner 8 toward Mars at a speed of 24,600 miles per hour. The 2,200-pound spacecraft was to have traveled 287 million miles to reach the planet next November. With two space ships orbiting Mars, scientists would have been able to conduct different but complementary missions. Mariner 8 was to have performed a broad reconnaissance and mapping assignment. Mariner 9 was to have photographed six selected areas every five days to detect atmospheric, surface and seasonal changes. The two were to have relayed a total of about 8,100 closeup photographs as they swooped to within 530 miles of the surface during their expected three-month orbital lifetimes. The pictures, plus data obtained by sensors, could determine if a primitive form of life might exist on Mars. Officials emphasized the satellites were not equipped to find life but could detect conditions in which some form of life might exist, such as microbes, bacteria or rudimentary plants. Note: The Six not only knocked the Mars shot out of the sky - but they attacked and forced down the 3-man Russian team that went up into orbit a few weeks ago. The team, according to news reports, had to come back down because of "human and mechanical" trouble. Owens (2) === Page 6 of 13 March 30, 1971 Today is May 9, 1971. By this time Texas & Oklahoma and Florida are disaster areas from fire and drought (other states also are drought-stricken) Dear Dr. Fogel: I thought I should explain specifically what I mean by "I am putting fire and drought on the U.S." Some years ago, even before I knew that it was the UFO's that I was in contact with...I took a map of the U.S. and put red asterisks all over it...and in my brain, using mental imagery, opened the "red box" which "the intelligence behind Nature" had instructed me to use...and mentally visualized red units being dispersed all over the map of the U.S. That year there were spectacular fires everywhere...west coast, Florida, everywhere. I am now repeating this exercise. Recently in Texas some old duffer was offered ten thousand to make it rain...he heated bricks or something. Laughable. And here my family and I are, literally starving...no job...and all of this power. So...I am repeating my exercise of some years ago. Will bring onto this country one of the worst sieges of fires and drought and heat...probably in history. Then perhaps, just perhaps...somebody will hire PK Men to bring rain and relief to the U.S. And I will be able to carry out PSI assignments. I have never failed, whether in Arizona, California, Nevada, Philadelphia, Miami or Norfolk...to make it pour rain and storm, and save the crops. Always I have been more than successful. Yet will anybody employ my services? Nope. Well, now we'll see. I am going to put the entire country over a barrel. The only human who can extricate the country from its predicament...is me. If something should happen to me...it will stay that way, forever. Fixed. This coming spring and summer...the entire U.S. will be blanketed with terrible heat...crops burned out...fires in forests everywhere, and in other places (causes unknown...like heat). Ships, even. If PK Men is still not hired, with all this heat-carnage going on...then I'll set up a winter next winter the U.S. will never forget. If the govt. thinks that I am a nut, then they have nothing to worry about. But I have ten years of experience of working in this psi-force medium under my belt...know every twist and turn...every cause and effect. From now on...it's me against the U.S. Govt., until I get the backing I need to carry out PSI assignments. It's comical to me...to see the Vice Pres. and other politicians backing and filling...and the Vietnam war getting so much play. Comical. I have so much power, truthfully now...that the combined military forces of the entire world...couldn't stand against what I could throw at them. I could sink all their ships; all their subs; knock down their planes; knock down their space ships; tear apart their armies and navies. Most of this, Dr. Fogel, has already been done in small measure and it is documented. But believe me when I tell you that it is actually true. If you ever want...I'll break down that last seemingly false claim...in detail for you. Tell you what I've done, and how I've done it. It is incredible; yet it is documented. And I could repeat it again, on a grand scale, world-wide. My power is not limited. Just my personal energy. Best to you, my friend...

Cagney is intensely worried about our environment and, in a break from his usual practice, is permitting us to identify the poet by his real name. The poem: You want to see the Shannon like the Hudson? Or the Liffey just as filthy as the Seine? Then bring in the arrogant asses And their garbage and their gasses, With pollutants plunging poison down each drain, Killing everything that's living, For which Nature's unforgiving, And the punishment will certainly fit the crime When Man, the creeping cancer, Will have to make the final answer As he smothers in his self- created slime. Here comes Coach Hank Stram, strolling around Palm Beach, Fla. with his wife and another couple. Hank is carrying a camera and his wife is carrying a large, yellow, flowered bag. Mrs. Stram spots a house she wants to photograph; she takes the camera and asks Hank to hold her bag. This is the moment, naturally, when a couple of teenage girls pass by. "Hey," says one of them. "Isn't that Hank Stram, the coach of the Kansas City Chiefs?" "Which one?" her companion asks. "That one," says the first girl. "The guy with the yellow purse." Photokinetic and Space Intelligence Man of the Week (not too many contenders in this category) is Ted Owens of Norfolk, Va. Owens signs himself P. K. Man, meaning photokinetic, and has been described as "basically a legal secretary who's also been a knife-thrower in a carnival and a rainmaker in Miami." However, none of these neat pursuits seemed to bring in much money, so back in February Owens decided to cast a spell upon the Baltimore Colts. And charge $100,000 to unhex them. Now, was it Owens' fault that Johnny Unitas tore his Achilles' tendon, Tom Matte got appendicitis and Sam Havrilak sprained his ankle? Well, when a Philadelphia writer challenged Owens to "prove you can do something" the P. K. Man announced he would hex Tom Woodeshick of the Eagles, and within 15 minutes Woodeshick was ejected from the game for fighting. Colt Owner Carroll Rosenbloom has dropped Owens a polite note requesting him to remove Baltimore from his list of losers. "If you will advise me as to a course of action which we could follow . . . I will do whatever I can to comply," Rosenbloom wrote. But the question seems to be, will he come across with the $100,000? At Washington & Lee they've finally got that skeleton out of the closet. Back in 1872, two years after the death of Robert E. Lee, the general's favorite horse, Traveller, also died. For many years the horse's assembled bones were on display at the Lee Museum--folks used to enjoy that sort of thing--but then they were put into storage in 1963. Now the skeleton has been suitably and finally buried, complete with marker, in a spot, we are happy to report, not far from the Lee family crypt. ● "America Is . . ." was the theme of the fashionable Cleveland Skating Club's annual ice show, held this year to raise money for the Olympics. Among the things the club felt America was was Bob Feller, out there on the ice pitching a plastic ball to local Little Leaguers. Without spikes--or skates. "This is more dangerous than facing Joe DiMaggio with the bases loaded," Feller observed. Which shows how long it's been since he's faced DiMaggio with the bases loaded. This week's Folksiness Award (the SPORTS ILLUSTRATED linsey-woolsey muffler) goes to Oriole Third Baseman Brooks Robinson for his remarks at a Saints and Sinners banquet gathering in his honor in Baltimore. "I been aroun' the world--Kentucky twice," Brooks confided. "Been to two great ropin's, three chicken pluckin's, and I never seen nothin' like this in all my born days!" We figured this beat Harold Morris (Gomer) Hodge of the Indians, with his explanation that his home town of Rutherfordton, N.C. was located "somewhere 'tween Asheville an' Spartanburg, but a whole lot closer to Spindale, Sandy Mush and Frog Level." We figured that way because Robinson's quote had more words in it. "We're getting old, with nothing to do," a gray-haired witness identified as Grandma Kelly told the Illinois state legislature recently. "I don't smoke or drink or go to racetracks. We've got to have Bingo." Well, after that the legislature voted for the second year in a row to legalize Bingo. So if Governor Richard Ogilvie vetoes the measure--for the second year in a row--it's all his fault if Grandma Kelly takes up smoking and drinking and going to racetracks. 61 === Page 8 of 13 King - Pilot 5/9/71 # Intelligence From Outer Space **AM Stations** BG (740) -- Contemporary news; sunup-sunset.

I took some personal pictures of Broun, Larry Maddry, Bud and myself...and will have some copies made and sent to you later. It may well be...that this coming fall...CBS will set up a special deal...where I will PK the Baltimore Colts...and special sportscasters will sit in the stands and fight me against it. It should be fascinating. And of course...it will be covered by CBS-TV to be shown on national TV later.

Mt. Etna, in Italy, is sweeping a mile-wide, 18-foot-deep swat of molten lava toward farms and villages...burning up everything in its path. This morning, 9:50 a.m., I am using both my mental power...and the SI other-dimensional power...to stop Mt. Etna, stop the eruption, stop the molten lava from destroying farms and villages. Since psi-power (ESP etc.) is not affected by time and space (or mess, I have found) then I can do this mentally from Norfolk. Now we shall see what happens in the days to come. Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens Norfolk cc: Dr. H. Dr. S. Dr. F. P.S. One point I should have brought up when Brown was here...which do you think...is the most powerful, Larry? A laser ray, or psi-force power? (You of course know what a laser can do.) Answer: a laser ray, in comparison with psi-force power (which I employ), is like a tiny firecracker compared with a nuclear explosion. Or a gnat compared with an elephant. A prominent physicist (hell, I spelled that wrong...wouldn't I make a lousy scientist?) stated that psi-force (which embodies PK, or psychokinesis) may well be the fifth great power of the Universe. (You can check with Otto Binder on that, and he will confirm.) And psi-force...is what I have been, and am, and will, be using in my demonstrations. Ted. === Page 11 of 13 May 23, 1971, Sunday TO ALL CONTACTS * Notified Dr Hynek My wife. Dr. Fogel, also. This is one of the most exciting things..........I have ever done. You know, of course, how I have documented in advance..........creating three simultaneous hurricanes..........guiding hurricanes against the predictions of the Hurricane Center in Miami..........ending droughts..........creating droughts..........making UFO's appear over cities..........and so on for about 250 miracles. Here is a new one. The first time I have gone one-on-one with a molten-lava-belching volcano. How it all happened (my UFOs saved this village of Santalfio in Sicily) was as follows: Last Thursday I read where the fiery molten lava was pouring down on this town of Santalfio in Sicily. The news item read that the lava couldn't miss..........the people and the town were right directly in its path. So I picked up the phone and called Larry Maddry, reporter for the Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk..........and told him that I would use my considerable powers..........and telepath to the UFO intelligences I am linked up with, to save this village and its people. On that day, Thursday, I sent a letter to him, backing it up in writing..........with copies to Otto Binder, and two scientists who are overseeing my work. * It is thoroughly documented (.) I used a shotgun approach..........my own brain, plus telepathing to Si control..........to bring this about. Saturday night, two days later, the fiery flow of lava..........a mile wide and eighteen feet deep..........burning up everything in its path..........miraculously diverted and flowed to one side of the town, saving the 4,000 people there. No finer demonstration of Si power would you ever want to see. I told four very responsible people..........two days in advance..........specifically what I was going to try to accomplish. And I accomplished it. Ted Owens (PK Man) * I specified to Larry Maddry I would try to save Santalfio by Sunday!

Etna ran into a small hill today and flowed around it into a deserted canyon, sparing this town of 4,000 persons. "We are safe, we are safe", Mayor Salvatore Cozzubbo shouted happily. "Most of our land is burnt, but the town is safe." The lava, which has slowed its pace, began a 2½-mile ride down the Cavagrande Canyon to the sea, with no town or village in its path. "The canyon is steep and straight. The lava will just keep on going down," Cozzubbo said. The townfolk prepared to celebrate. Sant'Alfio was spared in 1928 by another lava flow, which skirted the town and hit nearby Mafcali. The lava has already burnt crops and dozens of houses, causing damage estimated at over $16 million. It has also cut across three roads in the area and destroyed five bridges. "But probably the biggest threat to our crops are the tourists," Cozzubbo said. "They have come by the tens of thousands and trampled our fields to see the show. What the lava has spared they have ruined." === Page 13 of 13 SUN, BALTIMORE, SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 16, 1971 # Bullets 'Jinxer' Eyeballs Colts 1971 5/16/71 BALTIMORE SUN # Bullets 'Jinxer' Puts Colts On List, Claims UFO Help By JOSEPH J. CHALLMES Ted Owens, the 51-year-old "PK man" who has a reputation for psychokinetic antics a La Evil Eye Fleagle, has placed the Colts at the top of his "Unlucky 13" loser list for next year's National Football League season. Mr. Owens, who successfully "PK'd" the Bullets (or so he claims) after being publicly insulted by Gene Shue over national television, said that last year he hexed five teams in the NFL, but that this year he was "going to be more scientific" in his approach. **Rules Out Coincidence** "Five teams could have been coincidental. Now I'm going to stop and block half the teams in the NFL", sorcerer Ted said in an interview. Of all the teams who have fallen under his unkindly gaze, only the Colts have given a response. "Carroll Rosenbloom wrote me twice. He's a perfect gentleman, but we couldn't come to an agreement," he said, noting his $100,000 asking price to remove the Colts from the list. "In my opinion, Carroll Rosenbloom has more brains and guts than the other NFL owners. At least he answered me. The Philadelphia Eagles filed my letter under junk mail." But, fixing football games are just minor examples of psychokinetic power Mr. Owen said. He claimed that as a child he levitated often, read minds and hypnotized people. He said his original ESP powers have been greatly enhanced by contact with UFO's. "I thought I had been in contact with the great force behind nature, but in 1966 the SI's (spatial intelligence) contacted me and told me there would be an electromagnetic storm over the South Pole. "I contacted NASA, but they didn't believe me. Then, there was a great flap about a flying saucer hovering over the South Pole interfering with electromagnetic records of two scientific stations." **In Bermuda Triangle** Mr. Owens said that the headquarters of the UFO's is in the Bermuda Triangle--a part of the ocean near Bermuda where ships and planes have mysteriously been lost at various times in the last 400 years. "Now I'm like a forward artillery observer. I have many weapons and much ammunition to handle certain things, but if there is trouble, I can call on the UFO's heavy artillery. "I claim credit for the drought in Florida and Texas. The SI's want me to impress their power upon the government. Their aim is to prevent this civilization from destroying itself like so many others have done throughout history," he said. **"Want To Climb A Wall"** He said he had twice come into close contact with the visitors "from another dimension and the effect was one of horror. It made me want to climb a wall. That's why they don't come into direct contact with humans." "Florida and Texas were singled out because I went to both states to get money to help research the PK powers, but they refused," he said. His powers are being researched by three "internationally known scientists," including Dr. Max L. Fogel, research officer for MENSA, an organization composed of persons with IQ's in the top two per cent of the nation. The modern Merlin is also interested in saving wildlife. "In Africa, the animals are dying because people are using up the water for swimming pools and things like that. I'm going to call in PK power over all of Africa that will cause great rains to fall and refurbish lakes and streams. Then I'm going to chase all the white people out of Africa. Then Africa will be the way it was before. (Continued, Page 20, Col. 1) # Owens Claims UFO's Add To His Natural ESP Powers (Continued from Page 22) "Let's face it, the blacks and animals were happy before the whites came. Now they (the blacks and animal life) will be happy again." He said the SIs' are upset about Vietnam. "I went to President Johnson in 1967 and told him that if he didn't stop the war, he would be ruined. I told him the dead would come back and haunt Washington." **90 Days To Clean Up** Pollution is another concern of the SI's. "They give humans just 90 more days before they begin their own PK action. Then they will turn all the waters of the earth against mankind. "Also, I have placed PK powers on all the animals of the world. If any hunter kills an animal unnecessarily, the power will track him down and harm him. It's like the power the ancient Egyptians put over their tombs to curse anyone who broke the seal." He said that less than two days after he put his power into effect on behalf of the animals, a boat ladened with the fur of 500 baby seals was crushed by an unexplained ice flow. He also said that the UFO's had asked him to write to President Nixon asking for a seat in the United Nations. "In this capacity, it will be my duty to constantly bring about miracles, through SI-power, all over the world . . . constructive miracles."

Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens (PK Man) === Page 3 of 9 June 27, 1971 Dear Madeline: I was astounded by your report on the Indian Chief! One of the 150 mechanisms I use...lumped under the general heading of "PK"...from the other dimension...is Rainbow PK. I use this daily, in several ways. I use it each time I charge and code a disc (such as your own). It is a rainbow colored cloud with a cross inside of it, placed over the head of the person receiving the disc. (1) I use the Rainbow Door...a doorway between our dimension and the Si's dimension...which is filled with rainbow light which I must go through to get into the Si dimension. (2) A third use...is a chore I go through each day...signaling the four giant UFO'S around our earth...to send down a cloud of rainbow color onto earth...which goes to each disc-carrier, to help them in many ways. (3) And I have other rainbow-power usages, as well. So you see...your Indian Chief was so accurate it is uncanny! Incidentally...so far as I know, only Otto Binder knows about my above rainbow-power usage. The Chief couldn't know! Your daughter, too...must be a fine sensitive...since she also was aware of this particular situation, psychically; please convey to her my compliments. Yes...there is no doubt of it. I am your Indian Chief's "warrior chief" of The Rainbow Tribe, who wears a "rainbow bonnet", controls the weather elements...and must do what I have to do, to fulfill my purpose. (Save hundreds of millions of people). I look forward to the appearance there for you...and believe that it will bring much good to the area. Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 4 of 9 June 27, 1971 Mr. Carroll Rosenbloom Baltimore Colts Dear Carroll (my friendly enemy)... Hope you will forgive me...for sending you Rex Kern, your brand-new ace quarterback...with a busted rib for the coming season. It's the least I can do, at the present time. I also concentrated on "bending" Buddy Lee in the East/West game last night...because he is going to one of my major opponents in the "unlucky thirteen" this season. Result: one busted clavicle for Buddy Lee. This is the sort of thing...you can look for in your All-Star Game in Chicago, too. Then in your following game with the Cowboys. As you can see from the above...I try to not overlook any small detail. Thorough. Very thorough. Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens P.S. I received a call from a friend, on Friday...and learned that the Apollo rocket sitting down at Cape Kennedy had been hit a third time in a week, with lightning! My friend said it was on the TV news. You can see from this, therefore, what kind of power I am working with! === Page 5 of 9 June 1971 While fishing a small cataract in the Cascade mts. of Washington I had carried a 12 qt. water pail with me. Most unusual; since I don't carry pails along ever. I had to jump from one rock to another - about 5-6' span. Before I did; something "told" me to hold the pail. When I jumped my feet slipped and I landed on my hip-bone hard enough to knock the wind out of me. The distance to the next cataract was 10-12' down. I would surely have drowned if the water pail had not caught in the rocks and kept me from a second fall. Needless to say I was wearing Ted Owens P.K. disc. Kenneth L.

Am sure you must have thought we abandoned the idea of a lecture for you in this area..not so!!! Have simply been swamped with things and arrangements made prior to that plan and so have not had even a minute to get shored around. Am inquiring now into a large auditorium and hope to know more of the capacity available within the next several days...and the price...for that is important too...when most of us are just small time operators. But I feel certain that when the time is right the right one will simply 'pop up'...at any rate am not concerned about that...it is simply a matter of right timing.... When we have a definite place to house your lecture and know where we stand on all financial matters, shall send you a check for the amount you stipulated with a definite date and alternate date, and then we can go to work from there full steam ahead. I thoroughly enjoyed your letter concerning the disks...and think you are right in requesting the monies for them, for it is a known fact that for every flow you give out, there has to be a return one...the circle has to be completed, or YOU get done in...it does not necessarily have to be in hard cold cash, but it must be returned to its source in some manner, added unto. Thought you might be interested in something the Indian Chief told us while he was here and some things that sort of tied in...they may NOT be for you, but you were there at the top of my head when he was relating them. He told us of a Warrior Chief who would be coming soon, or who perhaps had already arrived, who would control the weather elements, and would be of the Rainbow Tribe..would wear a rainbow bonnet, as he put it and who, as he said, might appear to man as lacking in compassion and love because he would do what had to be done to to fulfill his purpose, As he spoke of this Rainbow Tribe and Warrior Chief, you just automatically floated in my thoughts and then, when my daughter informed me upon arriving home that when you were talking to me on the phone that day she kept seeing a rainbow around the phone and above my head and in her own head...so...doesn't that seem sort of intriguing???? Do write me and keep me informed of your whereabouts and your doings...and..enclosed is a check for one of your disks...'charged' I hope..by you...and your upstairs friends so that may use it when need it to connect in arranging for your lecture..okay???

Power was out from 10:22 a.m. to 10:52 a.m. along both sides of Granby from the Lafayette River to Bayview Boulevard. The N & W Railway gates at Wards Corner were down when the lights went out, and they stayed down for about 15 minutes before policemen were able to lift them and get traffic moving again. The Fire Department was called to the Midtown Office Building to release a woman from an elevator that stuck between floors. Her name was not given. E. C. Baker Jr., Norfolk manager of Virginia Electric and Power Company, said a transformer was knocked out at the Taussig Boulevard substation but that the precise cause had not been determined. Sat. 6/5/71 Power Out PK Virginian-Pilot, Sunday, June 13, 1971 B9 Power-Seeking Snake Puts Many in Darkness WINDSOR-A wandering 3-foot blacksnake crawled into electrical equipment near here Friday night and caused a power outage for 950 customers of Community Electric Cooperative, an REA affiliate based here. Jean E. Woodward, co-op manager, said the snake touched a piece of equipment about 10 feet high at the Virginia Electric & Power Co. substation about three miles west of here, causing a short circuit. The short knocked out a nearby REA substatin, and REA customers were blacked out for periods up to an hour. Woodward estimated damage at $10,000. A Vepco spokesman said the snake contacted a 34,500-volt circuit breaker, as a result of which fuses blew on the utility's 115,000-volt substation. Then, he said, an insulator on another set of circuit-breakers serving REA broke, and the REA substation went out of commission. The snake was found at the Vepco substation, burned to a crisp.

Car Causes Blackout 4,000 in Darkness; TV Interrupted By JOHN PRUITT Virginian-Pilot Sports Writer June 20, 1971 NORFOLK-A power blackout affected as many as 4,000 people in Norfolk Saturday after a car struck a Virginia Electric & Power Co. pole. The blackout, which for some lasted for hours, affected residents in Ghent, Huntersville and along East Princess Anne Road. Three people were stuck for 2 1/2 hours in two Hague Towers elevators. Norfolk General Hospital and Leigh Memorial Hospital, both served by auxiliary power, were in the blackout area. The power outage knocked out network television to Tidewater stations. The stations had transmitting power and network sound but network video reception, supplied by American Telephone & Telegraph equipment via microwave relay, was interrupted. WTAR began transmitting local programs at 9 p.m., about an hour after the microwave difficulty. Service was restored by 9:21 p.m. C. B. Harris, Vepco superintendent of service, said the electrical failure started at 5:55 p.m. Two passengers in a car which crashed into the pole at Llewellyn Avenue and East Princess Anne Road suffered minor injuries, police said. Harris said the crash caused hot wires to touch, knocking out four other circuits. The blackout area is served by McLaughlin Substation at Killam Avenue and 24th Street. Mrs. Louise A. Bartley and her granddaughter, Beth Meyers, were stuck in one Hague Towers elevator and John Fitzwilliams Jr. in another. Fitzwilliams, just out of the hospital for a checkup on a back injury, said, "I lay down on the floor (of the elevator) because of my back." Mrs. Bartley and Miss Myers were trapped between floors at the 11th floor station. Firemen and maintenance men opened a door lock to free the women. Fitzwilliams got out by a ladder. The Vepco superintendent said the trouble was isolated by 7:30 p.m. and power restored then for some sections. Complete restoration was not accomplished until midnight. "It messed up the whole west side of town," Harris said. Victoria B. Camel, 18, and Philip M. Camel, 19, of the 1200 block of Candlewood Drive, struck the pole after their car was struck by another, police said. Police said the Camels were riding north on Llewellyn when their car was struck by a car driven by Gilbert Frazier of Washington, D.C. The Camel car crossed over Princess Anne Road and struck the pole, they said. Frazier was charged with failure to keep to the right. (3) All three TV stations were out, for over an hour!! === Page 8 of 9 June 3, 1971 Mt. Etna eruptions now over 6/3/71 Two days after I wrote contracts I'd put it out!! CATANIA, Sicily (AP) - Vulcanologists said today that Mt. Etna's latest eruption has ended after 58 days. Farmers and villagers began carting possessions back to the homes they abandoned. It was the huge volcano's fourth worst eruption in three centuries. Villagers returned to damaged homes evacuated on the northern edge of the mountain-side crossroads village of Fornazzo. (Streams of molten rock narrowly missed striking the entire village.) Many residents are starting from scratch. Their orchards and vineyards have been burned and their croplands are buried under cooling lava. Experts estimated that Etna poured out 140 million cubic yards of lava since April 5, making the fourth greatest eruption since 1669 when lava from the volcano destroyed the city of Catania. To: Larry Maddry, Columnist, Virginian-Pilot (NORFOLK) June 3, 1971 Dear Larry: It is done. As you know...in my weird and strange ways...I have brought about approx. 250 miracles by this time...documenting them before the fact...and now I have done it again. Please refer to your letter from me of May 28, 1971...down near the end...where I say: "If I can only divert or stop this fifth flow...then put the volcano "to sleep"...I will have a perfect score." Well, this is exactly what the Si's and I have done, working as a team. The fifth flow got as close as fifteen yards from the village of Fornazzo...and all the people moved out...yet the Si's and I diverted yet this fifth flow, and the village was saved...again. You know, if it had happened just one time...a lava flow a mile wide, eighteen feet deep...surprisingly missing one of the villages after heading straight for it on a downhill course...you could argue "coincidence." But...five flows either stopped or diverted? And just as I called it to you in advance? Fer-git it! All right. So...we saved Fornazzo from the fifth flow. Next step, as I pointed out in my letter of the 28th...was not to stop another flow...but to put the volcano to sleep! To do this...as I used a new technique the Si's taught me just for this; rather, two. One was a "cauterizing" technique...I was told to use my mind, telepathing a certain sequence of symbols...which would cause psi-force to cauterize the lava rents in the volcano, just as a wound is cauterized. Also, I was instructed how to pound the volcano from all sides...with the same PK force that I used these past few years to throw football players through the air...the objective being (I know this sounds ridiculous, but it's the truth) to BURP the volcano...just as a baby is burped when it has gas on its stomach. The Si's explained to me that man-made bombing or explosions would not have sufficient force to do this...but my own mind, using PK force, would have infinitely more striking power to do the job. They explained further...that this PK force, pounding from all sides, would have the effect of driving gasses from inside the volcano out of the volcano...thus allowing the volcano to become quiescent. It worked like a charm. I followed their instructions (also putting a PK bubble over the top) and there were no more lava flows...and the volcanic activity came to a screeching halt. And so, as I pointed out in my letter of the 28th...I do indeed have a perfect score! Larry - you have known me for almost two years. Have you known me to ever fail? Think about it. I am frustrated...in that I tried so hard...to get this documented publicly...before bringing it to a successful conclusion (I tried to place my international reputation on the line...a pretty serious business for me) by informing you, and the editors of the Virginian-Pilot and the Ledger Star. I will work off my frustration by performing yet another miraculous feat! Starting this weekend am going to use my own mind power (won't call in the Si's on this)...to knock out the power and electricity, not only in the Norfolk area, but on as wide a radius in the state of Virginia as possible. So you can begin looking for some wild power failures and effects. * For the next 50 days, give or take a few. (SNAKE KNOCKED OUT POWER; THAT'S WILD!) Owens "PK MAN" === Page 9 of 9 June 13, 1971 Mr. Carroll Rosenbloom Baltimore Colts Dear Rosie: (I like that name. You can call me Teddy if you want to). Someone in your staff...has made a great big boo-boo. They have practically made sure...that the Colts will be stopped cold, racked up, by PK Man, this coming season. We got off to a promising beginning...when you communicated with me. You asked me to come and see you. I agreed to, if you would finance the trip. You did not answer that. Then I asked you to call me, so that we could chat. You did not do so. Next, the Sports Club in Norfolk asked you or your son to drop down and have a friendly meeting at their luncheon. Your PR men, as I understand it, nixed that. (And incidentally...I am giving a seminar at that meeting...for all owners and managers of pro football teams in the U.S., to explain exactly how "PK" works...its parapsychological basis, the mechanisms, etc. Am putting it all on the table, for the teams to understand. I am pioneering in this field...and after me will come others...so it is to the distinct advantage of the owners of pro teams...to understand what it is they are confronted with, in this new medium.) (Hiding heads in the sand...will only get them clobbered with the new medium, probably, in the long run.) (The smart ones are the ones who find out what it is all about, how it works, and either set up defenses...or join the new medium.) So...through bad advice from those around you...the Colts will suffer this coming year. After all, which is worse? How it "looks" or what actually happens to the Colts? I am a fact, and what I can do is a proven fact, and nothing is going to stop it from happening, regardless of how the "public relations" looks like. It's sort of like Joe Frazier (me) fighting a man on the street...and the man on the street worrying about how he's dressed for the fracas. Academically, how he's dressed...will have little to do with the projected outcome. He'll get flattened, no matter how he's dressed. Mr. Rozelle answered, and you got a copy. So that point is clear. So...I'll warm up by hitting the Colts with PK in the All Star Game. Now, the All Stars haven't enough punch as a rule to capitalize on the opportunities PK would give them...but...the All Stars plus PK...can take one hell of a lot out of the Colts. Then for the big game. Lest Pro Bowl I helped the Colts beat the Cowboys. Well, in the Cowboys-Colts game coming up...my power will be helping the Cowboys flatten the Worlds Champion Colts. Then let your PR men explain that to you.

The damaged plane was the first 747 built for commercial use by Boeing but didn't join Pan Am's fleet until nine months after the airline's inaugural jumbo jet flight on Jan. 21, 1970. After circling the airport for two hours, the plane made a safe but spectacular emergency landing. "It didn't get up in the air fast enough and hit something at the end of the runway," said passenger Teresa Galloway. "Part of the inside seat sections were pushed up and that's how people got hurt." Mrs. Galloway, wife of Joseph Galloway, UPI Indonesian manager in Jakarta, said she felt "three or four loud thumps" as the plane lifted off. "That scared everybody, but we kept going and thought everything was okay until they called a doctor. "I looked into the back section and all the masks were hanging down. The middle seat section was punched up out of shape. One man had his leg pretty much cut off." The flight was No. 845 which originated in Los Angeles and stopped in San Francisco before continuing on to Tokyo. The San Mateo County sheriff's office said 25 persons were injured, including four hurt seriously enough to be removed from the plane on stretchers. One man's leg was cut off. The Federal Aviation Agency said it was the first "personal injury" accident for a 747, which can carry loads of more than 400 persons.

One passenger had an arm nearly severed and suffered a fractured knee, another had to have a foot amputated later. Doctors on the flight cared for the injured aboard until the plane could dump fuel and land two hours after the takeoff. Twelve persons were hospitalized.

Last night the Jets played the Lions...and I picked it up on my powerful shortwave radio...and threw my strange mental force at Namath. Before the first half had even ended, he was injured in a freak accident...and will not be able to play for a year. Thus, the heading of your article "If Owens Speaks, Listen) was only too true. Namath should have paid attention to it, for I sent a copy of it to the Jets...and in the article you even printed that "the seer that makes things happen...stated Namath wouldn't last half the season. Perhaps now...he is more of a believer...and next time, will listen when Owens speaks. It is a strange coincidence that I knocked Namath out of action in the first exhibition game of the season...exactly as I knocked Norm Snead of the Eagles out with a broken leg several years ago...in the first play of the first exhibition game of the season in Philadelphia. In both cases I used my mental attack in the same way. And with Snead...there was no doubt about the mysteriousness of it. Not one soul, no one, was near him when he went down as if poleaxed...and with a broken leg. Stan Hochman, Phila. Daily News reporter, told me he was there on the sidelines...taking pictures of Snead when it happened...and he, Stan, couldn't believe his eyes at the time because no one approached or hit Snead. (I was in the stands at the time, using my mind on Snead.) So, anyway...the first prediction has come true...of the list you printed in your article in your newspaper on July 20, 1971.

STRIKES AGAIN! 8/9/71 Virginian-Pilot Norfolk # Namath Given Hope After Operation NEW YORK (AP) -- Joe Namath, the New York Jets' star quarterback, underwent surgery on his left knee Sunday morning to remove cartilage and repair ligaments torn during the second quarter of Saturday night's exhibition game against the Detroit Lions at Tampa, Fla. A spokesman at Lenox Hill Hospital, where the 51-minute operation was performed, speculated that Namath, 28, might be able to play by the middle of November. "He'll be in the hospital for two weeks, in a cast for six weeks, walking after nine weeks and running after 10 or 12," said a doctor. "I think he'll be able to play again," the doctor added. "I don't think he's jeopardized his career, though it was a serious injury." It was Namath's fourth knee injury, the second to his left knee. His right knee required surgery for ligament and cartilage injuries on Jan. 25, 1965 and Dec. 28, 1966. His left knee was operated on to repair tendon damage on March 20, 1968. Namath injured his knee late in the second quarter of the Jets exhibition opener. New York was leading 14-0 at the time, but Detroit came back to win, 28-24. Namath had completed seven of 13 passes for 116 yards and one touchdown prior to the injury. On the play, Namath handed off to Lee White, a reserve fullback, who tried to circle right end. White fumbled, and Detroit middle linebacker Mike Lucci scooped up the loose ball and raced up the sidelines. Namath tried to tackle him but missed, and Detroit linebacker Paul Naumoff fell on top of him. Lucci scored the Lions' first touchdown on the play. The Jet quarterback walked off the field under his own power, but did not re-enter the game. Al Woodall, who took over when Namath was injured last year, and Bob Davis, a journeyman who has seen action with the Houston Oilers and New York Giants, shared the quarterbacking the rest of the way. "Why did Namath expose himself to injury by trying to tackle the 230-pound Lucci?" "No way I could let him go," answered Namath, again revealing his enthusiasm for the 1971 season. ("I guess crazier things have happened," he said about the injury.) "I guess it shows I'm not a defensive back." "It was a shame," said Naumoff, the five-year veteran from Tennessee. "I didn't mean to hurt him. I saw him coming. He sort of cut back around like he was trying to back into the play." "And he was throwing the ball so great," Lucci added. "I didn't know he'd been hurt until we came out for the second half and somebody said something." ## NFL Exhibitions Results Sunday Minnesota 17, New England 10 San Francisco 38, Cleveland 24 Results Saturday Cincinnati 27, Miami 10 Detroit 28, New York Jets 24 Kansas City 10, Baltimore 7 Chicago 2, Green Bay 0 San Diego 19, Washington 10 Games Tonight New York Giants at Houston Philadelphia at Oakland === Page 3 of 9 August 20, 1971 Dr. Hynek Dr. Sprinkle Dr. Swank Dr. Fogel Dr. Eastwood Gentlemen: Just as I ended the East Coast drought, some years ago...and ended the killer drought in India some years ago...and more recently saved the villages on the side of the mountain from being wiped out by the volcano (these things are well documented)...now it is time for me to save yet another country. In the paper today: DROUGHT IS SEVERE...Kabul, Afghanistan (AP) "Reports reaching here say that in some parts of drought-ravaged Afghanistan people have started eating grass, while others have begun mass migrations in search of food and water. The Foreign Ministry, appealing for international aid, said: "Parched by back-to-back years of the most severe drought ever experienced in the entire recorded history of the country, Afghanistan today faces the black prospect of insufficient grain to feed its population of 16 million and not enough fodder to maintain its livestock." ... It said that without 'extraordinary relief' up to 70 percent of 26 million animals could perish, with losses possibly reaching 100 percent in such areas as the barren northwest. ... Major rivers and reservoirs are either dry or about to dry out shortly." It is ironic...that I can work to bring about these miracles...and yet I can get no help or aid from my own government to sustain me and my family the while I am conducting this extensive and expensive (for me) research. And I can tell you that it makes the Si's very angry and unhappy to see me, their representative...hard pressed from day to day and constantly broke and undergoing hardship...while trying to carry on their revolutionary work. And as the Si's have pointed out quite often...as my condition goes, so will go the condition of the U.S.A. ten-fold. They will see to that. At any rate...I will now make a "PK" map for Afghanistan, to bring massive rains and massive relief to that country, and save those 16 million people. I will ask Si Control to use their giant UFOs to help, also. Now let us see what PK Man and the Si's can do for Afghanistan. Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 Owens === Page 4 of 9 Battle of Wounded 'Skins, Colts Clash WASHINGTON (AP) - The walking-wounded collide tonight as the Washington Redskins host the Baltimore Colts in a National Football League exhibition game. Redskins coach George Allen will start substitutes Frank Bosch and Dave Cahill at defensive tackle because he has only five healthy defensive linemen. In addition to Bosch and Cahill, the only active Redskins defensive linemen are ends Verlon Biggs and Ron McDole, plus Jimmie Jones, who is being worked at tackle and end. Listed as injured and questionable for the game are Manny Sistrunk, Diron Talbert and Bill Brundige, all defensive tackles. John Hoffman, a defensive end, also has been hobbled with an ankle injury. Colt's coach Don McCafferty isn't much better off up front. Tackle Fred Miller is coming off an injury and will play, but Jim Bailey and George Wright, two other tackles, have sprained knees. The Colts also have only five defensive linemen ready - Miller, Bubba Smith, Roy Hilton, Bill Newsome and rookie Rusty Ganas. Washington has won its last two preseason games after dropping the first. The Redskins defeated St. Louis 20-13 in Allen's debut before the hometown fans in RFK Stadium. The Colts, winners of two of four exhibition games, lost 23-20 to the Detroit Lions last week before 91,745 at Ann Arbor, Mich. Dr. Vogel -- as you can see, the colts and Redskins are in bad shape, and the regular season hasn't even started yet. I wrote to George Allen, the Redskins coach, about a month ago, and pointed out that he himself had incurred fractured ribs...when his player ran into him...and warned him of coming disaster. (Note: many pro football coaches go for years without being fractured by their players). Below am listing the current, unbelievable list of pro football players on only seven of the 13 PK'd teams! These men have been injured, operated on, and/or out of action since I warned them the first of the year. And remember...these are only half the Unlucky 13! Haven't been able to get data on the other 6 teams. - [x] John Unitas, Colts QB - [x] Joe Namath, Jets QB - [x] Matte, Colts, R'nr - [x] Walton, Rams QB - [x] Butkus, Bears LB - [x] Sayres, Bears r'nr - [x] Lance Alworth, Cowboys rec'r - [x] Washington, Cowboys back - [x] Andrie, Cowboys end - [x] Howley, Cowboys LB - [x] Shell, Jets r'nr - [x] Maynard, Jets rec'r - [x] Woodeshick, Eagles r'nr - [x] Olsen, Rams t'l - [x] Sciebelli, Rams g'd - [x] Ferguson, Rams line - [x] Brown, Redskins r'nr - [x] Harroway, Redskins - [x] Liske, Eagles QB - [x] Jackson, Eagles rec'r - [x] Walik, Eagles rec'r - [x] Nelson, Eagles rec'r - [x] Tom, Eagles end - [x] Jones, Eagles back - [x] Pinder, Eagles back - [x] Skaggs, Eagles back - [x] Keyes, Eagles back - [x] Smith, Eagles back - [x] Medved, Eagles back - [x] Pettigrew, Eagles LB - [x] Staubach, Cowboys QB - [x] Tucker, Cowboys rec'r - [x] Thompson, Jets, suit - [x] Sauer, Jets, suit - [x] Moore, Bears r'nr - [x] Rossovich, Eagles r'nr - [x] Mira, Dolphins QB - [x] Scott, Dolphins safety - [x] Sistrunk, Redskins tackle - [x] Talbert, Redskins tackle - [x] Brundige, Redskins tackle - [x] Hoffman, Redskins end - [x] Miller, Redskins tackle - [x] Bailey, Redskins tackle - [x] Wright, Redskins tackle ..........and I will be at work today, tomorrow and Monday creating more casualties and walking wounded among the Unlucky Thirteen teams. Considering that these injured men listed are only representative of seven of the Unlucky Thirteen teams...imagine what the list would be like if I had data from the other six Unlucky Thirteen teams to give you! Of course, my prime object is to use my power to knock out the key players...when I ram them together and throw them through the air with projected psi-power. However, to dismantle an Unlucky Thirteen team .......... I'll settle for whatever injuries I can get. Owens === Page 5 of 9 Corner Hit Hardest # Cowboy Depth Suffers By BOB ST. JOHN The Dallas Cowboys are mostly laughing on the outside about the rash of injuries, which has left the corner back and wide receiver positions in dire need. With both Mel Renfro and Mark Washington out at cornerback it leaves only rookie Isaac Thomas to play the right corner, though there are other possibilities. Both Cornell Green, the strong safety who used to play cornerback, and Herb Adderley have never played on the right side. "Not me, man," said Herb. "They put me over there at right corner and I'd get cut the next day." "I'm afraid if we told Cornell he was going to play right corner, we'd have to take him over there on a stretcher," said secondary coach Bobby Franklin. FRANKLIN IS still young and used to be a secondary type. So Tom Landry was asked, jokingly, how about Bobby Franklin. "No way," said Landry. "That mustache would get in his way." More seriously, Thomas will be given the shot at right corner against Baltimore Friday night and perhaps again in the final preseason game against Kansas City. If he can't handle it, then Green might be asked to try or maybe even Cliff Harris. Harris played right corner in training camp his rookie year before moving to free safety. Charlie Waters or Richmond Flowers could possibly play right corner too. Harris, Waters and Flowers will work at corner this week. One thing, outside of Thomas, there will be no volunteers. "We'll probably have Herb and Isaac at the corners the next two games," said Landry. "It all depends on how Isaac does. I think he'll do all right. Otherwise, we're hoping we can get either Washington or Renfro back." Renfro, with a badly sprained ankle and a bruised knee, COULD miss as much as the first three league games. Last time Mel hurt his ankle like this he missed six weeks. Washington is scheduled to rest his knee about three more weeks but if it doesn't respond, there's no telling how long it might be. "I thought Thomas looked pretty good out there," said Landry, "until that last play (the 60-yard touchdown pass). I don't like to think about that one." "I AM NOW extremely concerned about the thinness of our wide receivers," added Landry. Lance Alworth might not be back before the second league game and Margene Adkins, who has a broken foot, could be out as long as Renfro. Reggie Rucker, a muscle tear in his thigh, is indefinitely questionable. Only Bobby Hayes and Gloster Richardson remain--and there are two more preseason games. As mentioned here before, Danny Reeves is apt to get his feet wet at wide receiver. "Richardson has promise but he hasn't reached the level where he'll have to be," said Landry. "We were counting on Alworth heavily... then we were hopeful Adkins could step in and do the job." Besides injuries, Cowboy receivers continue to drop the ball at a record-setting pace. Roger Staubach had two dropped against Houston and Craig Morton had one bounce off a receiver and to be intercepted. This is about the same pace they've been going in other preseason games. "Our receivers were worse against Houston than they'd been before," said Landry. TIGHT END Mike Ditka still has a cast on his broken hand but the Cowboys moved Thursday to strengthen the tight end position by picking up Pat Richter from Washington on waivers. Richter, 6-5, 230, was a prominent Redskin player until 1969. In 1968 he caught 42 passes. "We didn't think John Nelsen (the rookie) was ready so we got Richter in case anything happened to Billy Truax," explained Landry. Middle linebacker Lee Roy Jordan, who has missed the last two games due to a small broken bone in his leg, should play some against Baltimore, though Tom Stincic probably will be in most of the action again. When the Baltimore Colts host the Dallas Cowboys, their old Super Bowl opponents, Friday night they'll have to have a program. The Dallas Morning News Sunday, Aug. 29, 1971. Sept. 3, 1971...Dear Dr. Fogel: The Russians have a woman who can move objects on top of a table with her mind. But I am way ahead of the Russians with my own psi-research, and powers...I can effect and control entire pro football teams with my mind. As you see in this newsclip... the Dallas Cowboys are riddled with a "rash of injuries"...i.e., an unusual amount of injuries. Always keep in mind I notified the 13 pro teams ahead of the season...that this would occur. I have also sent you newsclips describing the "walking wounded" of the New York Jets and Baltimore Colts at this time...two more teams having an unusual amount of injuries! Of course, the Colts, Cowboys, Jets and Chiefs are the 4 foremost teams I'm aiming my brain at to bring about this result. So three of them are reeling under unusually severe injuries. Have not been able to get hold of any data on the Chiefs. Am not neglecting the other teams, at all. Believe me, they are feeling the result of my psi-power attack! (See other letter!) The beautiful thing about this unique and unprecedented way I am documenting this approach to my own psychokinetic demonstrations is...it is clean-cut. Easily demonstrable. Results easily evaluated and observed. And far more dynamic, and accurate, I think, than the dice tests at Duke. Am using same modus operandi, and powers, as Russian woman, and Duke experimenters...but on a much larger scale than them - and of course involving much more PK power in my psi-force attacks. Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 6 of 9 SUN V.P. 8/29/71 Dear George: First, I want to thank you...for giving 'ol PK Man a mention in your column hereto. Second, I want to give you an answer to your tongue-in-cheek statement...albeit an accurate statement. It is, by now, rather general knowledge that I did indeed warn the Jets in writing...both seasons, last season and this season...before Namath (and other key players) got "wiped out" by my aiming my brain at them, using psi-power, a revolutionary break-through in pro sports which I am pioneering. Also by this time, as you perhaps know...the 13 teams I am currently PK'ing (I listed them at my Norfolk Sports Club address) are suffering wholesale carnage to a degree never before observed in pro football. I only have data on 7 of the 13 teams...but dozens of key players are among the walking wounded...Namath of the Jets; Liske of the Eagles; Concannon of the Eagles; Unitas of the Colts; Walton of the Rams; Staubach of the Cowboys; Woodall of the Jets -- and these are just the quarterbacks currently bent by the PK! If I were to go on and list the other key players currently out, having been bent...the list would be too long to get on this page. And as I have said...I only have data on about half the Unlucky Thirteen teams! Also bear in mind that the regular season hasn't even started yet! To give you an idea of how potent my system is...I used the Chiefs and Jets as PK hammers against each other the other night...and knocked out eight key players! In one game alone! To get back to Namath, George. I will allow Joe Namath to continue playing football...if he will go to one of the 13 pro teams that I am not aiming my brain at. Not only that, but to help him if he does...I will place a protective PK shield around him to keep him from further injury. However, if he tries to go back and play for the Jets...well...I think he'd better give up football for good, than do that. I simply won't allow it, George. I read your column every day. It is a dandy. Owens (PK Man) --- George McClelland Sports Editor The Virginian-Pilot Mostly Wishful Thinking It will all soon unfold before you. The Neptunes won't lose a game. The San Francisco 49ers will roll to a Super Bowl championship. And old Notre Dame will win over all. Now that this business is taken care of, here are a few things we would like to see happen before another football season comes into view: A start made on a 50,000-seat football stadium next to Metropolitan Park. A round-robin schedule in the Southern Conference which would conceal the football shortcomings in that league. A Full Season for Joe Namath The word from Ted Owens, the PK man, that Joe Namath can play in all 14 Jet games in 1972. An Oyster Bowl contract using Virginia schools as host on an alternating basis and providing an intersectional opponent each year. A national scholarship limit. Half a dozen more Ed Grubers for the Atlantic Coast Football League. Saturday football special flights to Blacksburg and Charlottesville. An end to the rule stopping play after each first down, a slowdown that turns four quarters of football into five. Elimination of the Sunday blue law in Baltimore that prevents Colt games from starting before 2 p.m. Big Seasons for Virginia Teams Prospect for a year with three or four major college teams in Virginia to have big seasons. A super quarterback for embattled Bob Thalman at VMI. A pay boost for Tidewater High School coaches who now must start work early in August. A Neptune exhibition with the Redskin or Colt rookies. Relaxation of the NCAA ban on college tryouts for high school athletes. A push at Norfolk State to raise the football image to the basketball level. A Break Wanted for Virginia Tech A shot at the Top Ten for Virginia Tech. A Regional TV date for Virginia. The big payday at Richmond Frank Jones needs to put his program in high gear. Elimination of college freshman football schedules. A Redskin pass rush. A College All-Star team that can beat the NFL champion. A winning record for the Steelers. Model for ACC to Follow An adoption of the National NCAA 1.6 table by the Atlantic Coast Conference. A legitimate shot at a pro quarterback job for Buster O'Brien. A televised high school game of the week on Saturday morning. Something concrete on that new stadium. === Page 7 of 9 es Fan's Fatal Plunge Tied Plate Left Off Stadium Pit 8/26/71 By MARK MELSON Of The Inquirer Staff - Phila Vet. Stadium PK - The Phillies fan who plunged to his death at Veterans Stadium, fell 25 feet into an open cement-bottomed pit used to store the huge left-field scoreboard, stadium officials said Wednesday. Stadium manager Lloyd Vye said Glenn Shober, 37, of Reading, fell into the pit Tuesday night through a hole in a restricted walkway. "Shober and his three companions were looking for a restroom after Tuesday night's Phillies game when one of the men untied a rope barrier leading to a walkway over the pit," Vye said. STEPS INTO HOLE As they walked along the platform over the pit and under the huge left-field scoreboard, the lead man, John Gehring, 25, of Reading, stepped into a hole next to the pole-like piston which raises and lowers the scoreboard. A metal plate that covers the pit was not in place, leaving an open hole. "Somehow, Gehring caught himself," Vye said. "But Shober, who was next in line, plunged into the pit." Shober's companions, including his brother, Brian, 33, Gehring, and Jay Harford, 40, all of Reading, called for help. Stadium police arrived and Shober was rushed to Methodist Hospital, where he died of multiple injuries. ALMOST EMPTY "The stadium was almost empty at the time of the accident," Vye said. "The security guards who keep fans out of the scoreboard area usually leave when the game ends and the crowd has dispersed." Shober fell at about 10:30 P. M., almost 20 minutes after the game ended. The left field baseball scoreboard at the stadium is lowered into a pit for football games so that the seats behind it can be used by spectators. When the scoreboard is raised and in use, as it is during Phillies games, the pit is covered with metal plates, which form a four-foot wide walkway. Dotted Line Traces Fan's Fall Victim dropped 25 feet from walkway to scoreboard pit. TO ALL PRO FOOTBALL TEAMS Earlier this year I sent you a letter...advising you not to allow your team to play in the new Phila. Vet. Stadium...simply because I have PK'd the stadium...and any team that plays there will be automatically attacked by the PK (psi-power), or "snake-bit" as you prefer to call it...in a huge way. Here are a couple of samples, or results, of people not paying attention to what I say. I.e., if sports writers had warned the people and the teams...then the Vet. Stadium couldn't hurt anybody. But...my warning about Vet. Stadium was ignored. After having been PK'd by myself, it is a death-trap; it is jinxed, haunted, to a terrible, shocking degree. All I can do...is warn people in advance, and pro teams in advance. If they choose not to listen, then let them suffer their bent helmets and Lance Alworths and Unitas and so forth. I deeply regret that the Vet. Stadium killed a man. I had meant for it only to harass the pro teams...but evidently the PK assigned to Vet. Stadium has become too intelligent and sophisticated. It was meant only to "snake-bite" pro teams...but evidently it has decided also to go after spectators. That's why I wish the public could be warned...then at least they'd have a choice of going into the Stadium or not. It might have saved this man's life. Guene === Page 8 of 9 Inquirer Photo by Joseph J. Conley Phillies Usherette Places Plastic Bag on Stadium Seat Deluxe box seats in new stadium have seam that squirts water when sat on after rain # If You Want a Wet Back End, Buy Box Seat at Vets Stadium By DONALD McDONOUGH Of The Inquirer Staff Purchasers of deluxe box seats at Philadelphia's new Veterans Stadium have been paying $6.25 a ticket to get their rear ends wet. The 1600 portable chairs in the boxes facing the first and third baselines have a seam in them which the city says retains water after rain. When a fan sits down there's a squishy sound as the pressure forces water out of the seam, and onto the seat. The city announced Saturday it is withholding 2 percent of the final payment of a $1.4 million contract for the stadium seating until the wetness is eliminated permanently. This doesn't help William Giles, Phillies vice president, who has been receiving a deluge of complaints about the damp seats. So, this weekend Giles has armed the stadium usherettes in hot pants with a couple of thousand plastic bags of the type usually used for trash. In event of rain squalls, the bags will be passed out to cover the seats before the seams and customers get wet. "We first ran into this problem last May," said Giles. "The city architects were supposed to do something about it. But, as yet, nothing has been done and because these are our most expensive seats, we just got to take immediate action." The seats cost the city about $30 each. They are foam padded vinyl with arms and, according to Giles, are extremely comfortable when dry. Principals in the controversy over the wet seats are the city's Public Property Department, the American Desk Co., of Temple, Texas, and a subcontractor, Clarin Co., of Chicago. At issue is whether everybody knew these were to be outdoor seats, exposed to the weather, not indoor seats. FOLLOWED SPECS Clarin, which manufactured the seats, maintains it followed specifications exactly. "The problem develops whenever it rains," said Paul Marzullo, director of Public Property's architecture and engineering division. "The seam in the seat allows the water to come in. We told American Desk and they felt they didn't know the seats were to be used exclusively outdoors. "But this is a performance type of specification and the seats must perform under conditions for which they were intended and that is to be used outdoors. NOT SURE YET "American Desk's position is that they are not yet sure that they are responsible. "In the meantime the city will withhold the 2 percent of the final contract payment until the matter is settled between American Desk and its subcontractor." This is not the first stadium seat problem for American Desk. The firm was embroiled in a controversy over the stadium's plastic seats last summer after an Inquirer investigation revealed that the seats were flammable. PHILA. VET. STADIUM PK - 8/22/71 === Page 9 of 9 August 20, 1971 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Ted Owens, PK Man...who is my husband...just saved my life with his strange power. At least that is what I believe. About the middle of July I began to get sick at my stomach. Ted told me...he could "see" with his famous ESP ability...an infection, a very serious infection, in my lower stomach or side area. He begged me to let him take me to the doctor, but I thought it was just something I had eaten. Day by day he insisted...but I refused. On July 23 we began to move our furnishings out of our apartment on Ballentine in Norfolk, to move to our new home. Carrying things up and downstairs made me throw up. Again Ted said he could "see" that the infection in my lower stomach or side was much worse... but I wouldn't go to the doctor. On July 28 I couldn't walk...and the pain was terrible. Ted put me in the car and took me to the hospital. Three doctors worked for six hours to diagnose what was wrong with me. Finally they knew. My appendix had burst...four days previously, as it turned out. Peritonitis. Now, Ted had used his "secret system" on me...a secret system given him by the UFO intelligences. Also, I was wearing my red Si disc. When they operated on me they found that not only had my appendix burst four days previously...but I had an abscess the size of a man's fist inside me. I heard...that it was a miracle that I was alive. I sincerely believe that Ted, with his secret system, plus my Si disc...caused the miracle and saved my life. My recovery has also been fantastically rapid, according to the doctors and nurses. *Martha Owens* Martha Owens 619 Randolph St. Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 P.S.

Many articles and some books have dealt with my work in the field of psi-power and psi-force, in the United States. Am currently under the observation of five U.S. scientists, three of them internationally famous. A well-known astrophysicist has stated that I am probably the world's greatest psychic, and have the world's most powerful mind. (See Saga magazine, March issue, 1971.) I have written to the Premier of Russia...offering to come to Russia and work with your scientists there. But have never received an answer. This was some time ago. If you like, will send you numerous magazine and book articles about my ability to cause miracles by using psi-force. Now I will make you a present, a gift. I read "Psychic Discoveries Behind The Iron Curtain" book, and see that your cosmonauts have sent words telepathically...by using strong emotions at timed intervals...back to earth. In another portion of the book I read where you have become adept at using telepathic hypnosis on subjects; i.e., you have a strong control on this phenomena. I am now going to give you the perfect method of informing scientists on earth...of various emergencies which might come up in outer space, involving your cosmonauts...utilizing telepathy...a system which should be fool-proof for you, due to the strong control involved. You will send an ESP master, your best telepathist, along on the space flight. This ESP master will have previously practiced with five subjects, putting the five to sleep many times utilizing telepathic hypnosis. He will carry with him in the rocket five photographs of the five subjects he works with. On the earth, these five subjects will be placed in five separated, different geographical locations within Russia...and be carefully attended during the space flight by scientists. Now, Subject 1 will represent Power Failure. Subject 2 will represent a dangerous illness on the part of one of the cosmonauts. Subject 3 will represent an attack or approach by aliens or alien craft. Subjects 4 and 5 other key situations. Thus, if there should been emergency situation in outer space, and communications should go out... then the ESP master will take out the appropriate photo...and put that subject to sleep on earth...thus you will be informed of precisely the situation that is occurring. Also, due to the feedback between the telepathist and subject, subject will be able probably to shed extra light on it. Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 Owens === Page 2 of 4 Sept. 10, 1971 TO ALL CONTACTS Up until now...I have PK'd teams without emotion...not mad at anybody... just demonstrating coldly what I could do...with scientists watching. Some people have asked me, shuddering...what would happen if I used my power in anger. Well, the time has come...and you can watch and see what happens. Today I received an insulting letter from a pro football player, Bill Bell, of the Atlanta Falcons. Not only that...but he wrote an insulting letter about me to a national magazine. All right...so now I take off my gloves, and go to work on Bill Bell and the Falcons. They will be the 14th team this season... to demolish...and I've put them at the top of the list. Even over the Colts. Bell had the gall to call me a "fake". We will see what this "fake" brings about...to Bill Bell and the Atlanta Falcons in the season ahead...and the years ahead. (My PK attack has no limit.) Am waiting impatiently...to get the Falcons on radio or TV. The bodies will really fly through the air. And my mind...will tear them asunder, as the old saying goes. If you think the Colts and Redskins are "the walking wounded"... as the newspapers called them last week...just wait until I get through with Bill Bell and the Falcons. I don't mind a personal feud. Been a long time since I've had one. Now keep your eye on the Falcons, and Bill Bell, in the weeks and months ahead! Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 See Oct. Saga, on stands, p. 22, re psi field and my place in it. Owens === Page 3 of 4 Gentlemen: the below injury-ratio is unheard of in pro football history. It would be greatly to your advantage to contact me at once. Sept. 7, 1971 OPEN LETTER TO THE "UNLUCKY THIRTEEN" TEAMS OF THE PRO FOOTBALL LEAGUE My last letter to you was August 18, 1971. Since that time, a lot has happened. Some of you teams weren't listening...and you've been ruined since. Listen...I can "headhunt" and eliminate...your key players...simply by listening to the radio, or watching TV. This is no joke. To ignore me...is about the same thing as ignoring a safe falling on your head...or ignoring a truck about to run you over. It will not help you at all, ignoring me. Know how many quarterbacks I injured last Saturday night? Three. Three in one night. Stofa, Roman Gabriel, and Sonny Jurgenson. Now the regular season is beginning...and I can go to work in earnest. Soon I will have your players in my sights...over the radio, over the TV (and I even have an "absent" method)...and if you think the carnage so far has been "frightful", as the New York Times put it, just wait until the regular season starts in a couple of weeks. You know the Unlucky Thirteen teams. Take a look at the quarterbacks I've injured with my system so far; Johnny Unitas, Joe Namath, Sonny Jurgenson, Roman Gabriel, Welton, Liske, Stofa, Staubach, Woodall, Concannon, and Joe Kapp, quit. Look at the runners I've injured: Nance, Matte, Snell, Sayres, Woodeshick, Brown, Moore, Rossovitch, Bulatch, and others. (These are big name runners). Look at the backs I've injured: Washington, Jones; Pinder, Skaggs, Keyes, Smith, Medved, Riggins, Trapp, Renfro, Johnson. Look at the other key players I've injured: Butkus, Alworth, Andrie, Hawley, Maynard, Olsen, Sciebelli, Ferguson, Galloway, Jackson, Melik, Nelson, Tom, Pettigrew, Rucker, Thompson (quit), Sauer, quit, Scott, Sistrunk, Talbert, Brundige, Coffman, Miller, Bailey, Wright, Taylor, McVea, Baker, Arthurs, Elliott, Bell, Hawkins, Buoniconti, Adkins, Jordan, Ditka, Smith, Volk, Perkins, Logan, Mackey, Calvin Hill, Flowers, Pugh, Taylor, Brune', Pettibone, and Allison. And gentlemen...this was only preseason play. By the time I get through giving this demonstration every team (unlucky Thirteen) will be the "Walking Wounded" mentioned by the New York Times about the Colts and Cowboys. You evidently do not know...what you are up against: A revolutionary system of injuring huge groups of men by use of the mind. I would strongly suggest that you read the book, "Psychic Discoveries Behind The Iron Curtain" by Ostrander and Sanderson. At your book store. It describes psi-force, which is what I am using on you. The Russians are far ahead of the United States in the research and use of psi-force...BUT I AM FAR AHEAD OF THE RUSSIANS! Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 48, Cape Charles, Va. 23310 Owens (PK Man) *First letter to you Feb. 2, 1971 === Page 4 of 4 Battle of Wounded # Jurgy Snaps Break Skins 9/7/71 SONNY JURGENSEN Those are the breaks When Washington quarterback Sonny Jurgensen went out with a broken shoulder, it was a shot heard around the National Football Conference. Jurgensen, one of the NFL's premier passers, was expected to lead the Redskins in a strong bid to unseat the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL Eastern Division. "You always hate to see anybody hurt," said Cowboy coach Tom Landry, "and whenever a player like Jurgensen goes out, the game is the loser. "There's no question this will handicap Washington but don't forget they've got an experienced quarterback in Billy Kilmer. He's a competitor and I'd be surprised if he doesn't do a good professional job. I wouldn't say Jurgensen's injury eliminates Washington in any way." JURGENSEN is expected to be out of action for at least six weeks, the surgeon who repaired the break in his shoulder said Monday. This means Jurgensen will miss the Oct. 3 game in Dallas but should be back for the rematch with the Cowboys in Washington on Nov. 23. "It went along all right; we got it fixed up," said Dr. Don O'Donaghue. "It will take a while for it to heal though, about six weeks at a minimum. That bone's got to grow together." Jurgensen, who suffered a break in a small bone of his left shoulder during Saturday night's game with Miami, was in surgery for 90 minutes Monday. "It was too fragmented that you could fasten it real securely," O'Donaghue said of the break. "The bone itself isn't too big, but it's the muscle attachments that pull off." O'Donaghue, an orthopedic specialist renowned for his skill in treating athletic injuries, said the break would not have been discovered had not Redskins team Doctor P.M. Palumbo Jr. ordered a special set of X-rays Sunday. PALUMBO called it an "extremely rare injury to a football player." Jurgensen said the injury, which came late in the third period when he tackled Miami safety Dick Anderson, was the result of his own mistake. "I threw the ball poorly after I was forced out of the pocket," he said. "I got hit by a linebacker as I was trying to tackle Anderson, after the interception." It was the second time Jurgensen has suffered a shoulder injury in Miami's Orange Bowl. "The last time I played there was in 1961," he said. "I threw the ball poorly and Yale Lary intercepted. As I tried to tackle him, linebacker Wayne Walker blocked me and my shoulder was separated pretty badly." Jurgensen, enthusiastic about this year's team under new coach George Allen, said the injury was "a big disappointment." "We have a real fine team this year and the key to the season will be keeping the key personnel healthy." PRO GRID BITS -- Three members of the Green Bay Packers have been hospitalized for treatment of an intestinal flu thought to have been caused by food poisoning. Hospitalized were defensive tackle Mike McCoy, kicker Dale Livingston and rookie Charlie Hall. Coach Dan Devine, also ill with the flu, called Monday's practice off because of the Pack's "weakened condition" . . . LA quarterback Roman Gabriel recovered well from bruised ribs suffered against the Chargers. But rookie defensive back Dave Elmendorf and Joe Corollo both twisted ankles in Monday Ram workout. The Houston Oilers dealt their starting defensive tackle, David Rowe, to the New England Patriots for offensive lineman Tom Funchess. Rowe came to the Oilers from New Orleans in a trade last January and Oiler officials said they were very happy with him but felt they needed more depth on the offensive line. # 'Skins, Colts Clash 8/28/71 WASHINGTON (AP) -- The walking-wounded collide tonight as the Washington Redskins host the Baltimore Colts in a National Football League exhibition game. Redskins coach George Allen will start substitutes Frank Bosch and Dave Cahill at defensive tackle because he has only five healthy defensive linemen. In addition to Bosch and Cahill, the only active Redskin defensive linemen are ends Verlon Biggs and Ron McDole, plus Jimmie Jones, who is being worked at tackle and end. Listed as injured and questionable for the game are Manny Tackle Fred Miller is coming off an injury and will play, but Jim Bailey and George Wright, two other tackles, have sprained knees. The Colts also have only five defensive linemen ready--Miller, Bubba Smith, Roy Hilton, Bill Newsome and rookie Rusty Ganas. Washington has won its last two preseason games after dropping the first. The Redskins defeated St. Louis 20-13 in Allen's debut before the hometown fans in RFK Stadium. The Colts, winners of two of four exhibition games, lost 23-20 9/9/71 # George McClelland Sports Editor The Virginian-Pilot JUST NOTES: The International League is due a further facelifting job in 1972 . . . Despite protestations that Winnipeg is set, Montreal is looking for another Canadian city. London, Ont. would be ideal as a sister city for Toledo. It's just a bus ride away . . . Ottawa, too, is being considered . . . Pittsburgh hasn't given Charleston the go-ahead for next year either. The Pirates lost money in that operation . . . Definitely not coming back are umpires Harvey Odom and Dick Tremblay. The latter's contract has been returned to the National League which holds his option . . . Two big gates in Rochester for the playoffs could mean the Tides making more money than they did in their first year at the Met. ********** Everyone talks about the upsurge in baseball interest in San Francisco, but the Giants will be the 10th National League club to reach 1,000,000 customers . . . Ted Owens wrote Carroll Rosenbloom of the Colts a 'I told you so' letter after Baltimore lost to Dallas. "Every time one of your players tried to catch a pass in the end zone, the PK (psycho-kinesis) was waiting with split-second accuracy to foul it up. And the PK attacked your kickers, too," . . . And weren't the Redskins another of the teams Owens, the PK man, said he was attacking? ********** Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

There are 80 contacts... and the xeroxing and stamps and envelopes and time... are too much for me to handle, costwise. Recently this was tragic. About two weeks ago the Si's urged me to rush out a contact letter to the scientists in particular... that they would cause something spectacular to happen, not on earth... but in outer space that could be observed from earth... to show what powers they have. Well, I had no money ($20 or more) to get out a contact letter so couldn't get out their message. A few days ago... scientists reported in the papers a "mysterious" storm on Mars; nothing ever seen like it. This of course is the Si's demonstration which they counted on me to pass on to earth scientists. Which I am doing at this late date... but which also has no validity in fact because it is after the fact, hence not documented. But what galls me is... it could have been documented if I hadn't of been strapped... which is why the U.S. Govt. are fools for not backing me in my work and experimentation. But to me it is interesting to note that the Si's can produce phenomena on Mars. Previously they had only mentioned Jupiter to me, as a place they went to. Now, for those of you who are trying to keep track of my work appearing in print: July "Sport Magazine" had a full article on my PK work with football teams. If you want it you can order a back copy, getting the address off a current copy on the newsstand. Oct. Saga had an article by Binder, p. 23... pointing out my important role in a world-wide sense; pointing out that I possibly might be the only person who could save the U.S. Dec. Saga, out in a few days, has an article by Binder... mentioning my work again several times. Jan. Saga, out about Dec. 10... will have a full article in it, re my work, by Binder. Feb. Saga, out about Jan. 10... will have a full article, written by myself, which I would urge you to read. "What The Seers Predict For 1972", a Lancer pocketbook by Brad Steiger, is just out in the bookstores. I am chapter 14. "The Divine Fire" is a new book being written now by Brad Steiger, out in a few months, which will have a large section of it, according to Steiger, devoted to my work. Finally, Otto Binder is working up a full article on my "disc" and the miraculous, weird results people have gotten, after obtaining their discs. This will be based on hundreds of letters sent by the people themselves, reporting the phenomena. Probably will appear in Saga in the spring or summer. Be sure and get this book! And read and study it carefully: "Psychic Discoveries Behind The Iron Curtain", by Ivan Sanderson. This book... is the picture frame... for my own picture, you might say. By reading this book... you will then know what I am doing, how I am doing it, and why. Also you will know that my own unorthodox psi work and experimentation... is far ahead of that of the Russians.

Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 === Page 4 of 5 States Act to Protect Various Endangered Species Virginian-Pilot, Wednesday, Sept. 15, 1971 By United Press International Don't go hunting for alligators in the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia. Or try to sell a tiger skin rug in Pennsylvania. Or kill a killer whale off the coast of Washington State, shoot a bear in Minnesota, or gun down a cougar in New Mexico. It's all illegal--or soon will be--under acts passed in state legislatures this year to protect endangered species of wildlife from men seeking to kill them off for fun and/or profit. A UPI survey of the states showed at least 13 legislatures had passed wildlife protection laws of varying scope and severity. Bills to the same purpose were awaiting action in at least five other state capitols. Others states already had such laws on the books. Nor do these laws apply only to domestic creatures. Under a bill pending in the California legislature, it would be against the law to make or sell any commercial product derived from zebras, cobras, pythons, sea turtles, colobus monkeys or kangaroos. The impetus for this flurry of wildlife legislation traces back to the Endangered Species Conservation Act passed by the U.S. Congress in 1969. This law did not impose a ban on the states against the killing of certain animals. That was left up to other federal, state or local laws, and what might be fair game in one state could well be verboten in another. But it did put certain restrictions on interstate transport of domestic animals on its list and made a federal case out of importing dead animals or parts derived from such animals which are listed as endangered in foreign countries. Currently, the Interior Department has a list of 101 species it considers in danger of extinction in the United States--50 birds, 14 mammals, 30 kinds of fish, and seven reptiles and amphibians. On the foreign list, there are 29 entries. The federal list did not go far enough for some states. New York, enacting one of the stiffest laws of its kind in the country, put the complete federal tally on its law books in 1970, added a few dozen more species of its own, and forbade the sale of shoes, handbags, coats or what have you which might be derived from any of the endangered fauna. In some of the standout state legislation this year: * The Georgia Legislature passed a bill, to take effect in 1972, imposing penalties of up to a year in prison and a $12,000 fine for hunting alligators or for selling or possessing any products from parts of alligators. This would presumably make walking out in a new pair of alligator shoes in Atlanta a risky proposition by next year. * Pennsylvania's Gov. Milton J. Shapp signed a law prohibiting the manufacture and sale of articles obtained from crocodiles, cheetahs, tigers, snow leopards, clouded leopards, red wolf polar bears, mountain lions, jaguars or alligators. It was reported fur dealers in the state were buying advertising space to promote sales of their stock before the law takes effect later this summer. * The state of Washington put a protected label on all sea mammals, including seals, sea lions, sea otters, and killer whales. Bears were declared off limits by the Minnesota legislature, and New Mexico legislators declared cougars, hawks, and owls should be left alone unless someone could come up with proof of specific acts of slaying livestock. Other states which have put fresh wildlife protection laws on the caiman--a creature indigenous to South America and Indochina but almost identical to Florida's own alligators and crocodiles--had been barred from import or sale in Florida. Florida legislators this year reasoned there are plenty of caiman living in a fair degree of security on foreign shores and struck them from the embargoed list. Alligators and crocodiles, however, are still under the protection of the state of Florida. their books include Texas, Delaware, Nebraska, Maryland, Maine, Connecticut, Arizona, and Idaho. Bills along the same lines are pending in California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Illinois, and South Carolina. The laws enacted range from wholehearted adoption of the federal endangered list by Delaware and Maryland to a decision in Texas to take prairie dogs out of the "public nuisance" category. In the old days, sheriffs were instructed to kill the prairie dogs. Now it's up to individual landowners. Not all the proposals to protect the animals had clear sailing. The Colorado Senate passed a bill to protect wild horses but, after it was amended to include wild jackasses, it died in the House. Florida went so far as to declare a species unprotected. Under a previous law the skin TO MY 5 SCIENTISTS-- EARLIER THIS YEAR I WROTE YOU, THAT I WAS ARMING ALL WILDLIFE ALL OVER THE WORLD... WITH PK. ANCIENT "EGYPTIAN CURSE TYPE" PK. NOW READ THE ABOVE NEWSCLIP AND SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE!!! I EVEN SPELLED IT OUT FOR YOU IN THAT EARLY '71 LETTER... THAT PK WOULD ATTACK THOSE WHO KILLED WILDLIFE FOR FUN OR PROFIT... BUT WOULD NOT ATTACK THOSE HUMANS WHO KILLED WILDLIFE TO EAT IT OF NECESSITY. NOW, READ THE ABOVE 4TH PARAGRAPH AND SEE ARROW! (DOES MY PK WORK? YOU BET IT DOES!!!) Owens † PK Man † === Page 5 of 5 Nov. 18, 1971 TO THE SCIENTISTS: Utilizing my psi-force powers..........I am going to cause a major earthquake in the Los Angeles to San Francisco area. Within 90 days (I hope). There is a logical reason. In the papers today there was an article by Patricia McBroom of the Philadelphia Inquirer. She stated that the earth is wound up like a spring..........in San Francisco and Los Angeles..........just waiting to set off a major quake. She states that Dr. Deffeyes of Princeton University gave 50-50 odds that the ground under San Francisco will give off a major quake within 10 years. "Dr. Deffeyes was not predicting an earthquake in October because geologists do not know the timing or the size of the earthquake in advance." Well, gentlemen..........if my powers are on target..........I do know the timing and the size of the quake..........I am going to cause. A huge major quake..........within 90 days..........in the aforementioned area. Dr. Deffeyes continues: "We know an earthquake is inevitable in San Francisco. It's going to happen. The sooner it happens the better off they (residents of the city) are." "The longer the earthquake is delayed, the bigger it will be, Dr. Deffeyes told the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing." "He also said he wished the Cannikin nuclear bomb test in the Aleutian Islands in early November had set off an earthquake..........because at least the people were on guard and there is hope that artificial inducement of the quake by nuclear explosion could produce a smaller one than if it occurred naturally." So there you have it. An earthquake now..........could produce minor problems..........compared with a later quake..........as the "spring winds tighter." So..........I will cause the quake to happen. In 1967..........I put it in writing to scientists, lawyers, etc., that I would use my powers to cause a major east-coast blackout within 90 days. In less than 90 days..........it occurred..........completely knocking out the power in five east coast States. The "great daytime blackout", it was called. Just more recently I notified scientists and responsible people, that I would use my powers..........to either stop, or divert, giant lava flows a mile wide and eight feet deep..........from wiping out villages dead in their path. I was completely successful..........there were seven of them, I believe, in all. They either stopped just short of the villages, or deviated and went around the villages. No village was destroyed. (One scientist even told me to skip it..........to let "Nature take its course." I informed him that I can, in many cases..........control Nature. And I can, And I do. In many, many cases. And it has been documented many, many times by now.) I will now unleash the forces of my mind..........as I have been taught to do by the Si's..........hitting the West Coast with enough pinpointed force and pressure..........to cause a major quake in the aforementioned area. And to cause a braking motion on the entire Pacific Ocean edge lying next to the land mass there..........to further facilitate the quake.

Am employing a "shotgun approach"...i.e., using many of my 150 psi-force mechanisms...to get our POW's back home with their loved ones safely...by this spring, or this summer. You can say "well, the U.S. has been working on this for a long time." My answer: yes, and the U.S. hasn't succeeded. Also the U.S. is bombing the hell out of the North Vietnamese...and as long as it continues, the POW's will not be released without some kind of miracle. It is my job (with the Si's) to provide that miracle...in a most unique way. We shall see. Meanwhile, I work at it. Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 48, Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 PS...remember this man who just was released by the Vietnamese, lately? I began my work just before his release. Now...to get them all out. Owens === Page 2 of 2 Dec. 10, 1971 Dear Dr. Fogel: Last weekend...has taught me, therefore you...something most significant. Let's look at it: | Unluckies lose (or T) | Win | | | |---|---|---|---| | Jets | Cowboys | Oilers | | | Dolphins | Falcons | Colts | | | (Bears & Broncos didn't get score) | Patriots | Chargers | | | | Redskins | Rams | | | | Eagles | Chiefs | (Score: 3-11) | As you know...this lopsided happening is a first. Well, something happened to me...which, significantly, could have caused this first. Cause: I was deeply emotionally upset and even mentally confused...a rarity for me. Usually am a rock of steady, firm emotion and never mentally confused. BUT...the preceding Monday my ex-wife suddenly sent to me my 20 year old son, whom I hadn't seen in years. The boy had used dope...LSD and other things...and ruined his mind. His behavior and thinking patterns are confused, unpredictable, jumbled. Well, all week long I tried to be patient with him and fit him into our family pattern here. (My ex-wife sent him to me because she said she thinks I am the only person in the world who might get him back on his feet. He was going to a psychiatrist in Seattle, and a special mental clinic there.) (He's on medication which has to be given; which he fights taking...also.) All right. From Monday through the weekend of the games...I was going in circles with my son...trying to calm him down; trying to get him to take his medication; having new glasses made for him 20 miles away; buying him clothes. But the point is...he was having trouble adjusting to my wife, plus sibling rivalry re my 9 year old and 9 mos. old children here...and so forth. God, it was hell! By now, things are going smoother. I've found a method of getting him to take his twice-daily medication (by getting him to give me cough syrup first) and things are better adjusted. However...this negative-influence-factor, I am sure...resulted in last weekends wipe-out re my work...which had never occurred before. Do you see? Therefore: it is quite obvious to me...that my state of mind, freedom of thought, degree of uninterrupted concentration...are absolutely necessary to my usage of psi-force. If you will remember...when I got pneumonia last season...my games fell off then, also. That is, my PK ability waned, in results. So, although it was a bad bad week for me...in PK results...it was a good good week for us, scientifically speaking...in understanding better how the psi-force works. And...it showed. Tomorrow...Saturday...will do my best to beat the Colts. I've done too well in injuring Griese, Czonka and Warfield...they are badly bent. Now I need them. Dam, Griese's left arm is in a sling; Czonka hurts in five different places; don't know the exact nature of Warfield's injury...it is just bad. And they are necessary to beat the Colts. Sunday: Cardinals to beat the Eagles; 49'rs to beat the At. Falcons; Packers to beat the Bears; Giants to beat the Cowboys; don't care Chargers-Broncos; Bills to beat the Oilers; Patriots to beat the Jets; Raiders to beat KC Chiefs. Monday: Redskins to beat the Rams. If you read current Saga...then read newspapers day mag hit the stands...then you know: Bob Berry, QB of Falcons...was arrested at a dope party! The day before Bill Kilmer, QB of Redskins, was arrested for being drunk in public. Fascinating! And on 11/29/71 Jurgenson, QB of Redskins, was quoted: "I must be snake bit. I'm tired of being injured." His shoulder was reinjured last week.) Re my Space-Skies PK: 12/6 "Spy Satellite" out of Cape K exploded at launch; our Mars probe has been blocked by "dust storms"; and the Russ landed a probe on Mars whereupon the probe promptly stopped sending! Went dead. (12/8/71). I am using various psi-force mechanisms to deliberately cause the above effects...and more. Best...

Owens (PK Man) === Page 2 of 3 John A. Keel December 18, 1972 Box 351, Murray Hill Station New York, N.Y. 10016 Dear Ted; I do greatly appreciate receiving your many reports and I read them all even though I am remiss in acknowledging them. Your powers of precognition are well established and impressively documented. The radar episode a few months ago should have given you honest claim to the National Enquirer's prize money. Certainly I can't think of anyone else who could have produced that effect. However, it is highly probable that the NE made the offer as a publicity stunt, never expecting anyone anywhere would be able to produce any kind of evidence. Even if you could produce an "UFO apparition" directly over the NE offices I imagine they would find a way to weasle out. Hard times have hit us all and the economic situation for writers has never been so bleak. I regret that I am unable to offer you any assistance. I know you are spending much money for postage, photostats, etc. and that things are far from easy for you. But it seems to me that Otto Binder or someone should be able to arrange publication of a book based upon your experiences and bring you a few dollars. Perhaps you will eventually be the subject for a TV special or something. Do not, however, expect umpteen thousand dollars from any such venture. You can probably get only two or three thousand dollars at most. If you could hire a high-priced lawyer you might have a chance at forcing NE's hand and collect that prize. But even that would be a hazardous enterprise. Dr. Hynek does seem a bit facetious at times. It has always seemed futile and fruitless for you to devote so much of your energy to football teams and international catastrophes. Perhaps you should try your hand at forecasting the stock market or handicapping horses. If you could produce the same kind of results that you have produced in other areas a lot of wealthy people would beat a path to your door. Remember...our world is run by greed. Many phoney astrologers and ersatz seers have made fortunes exploiting it. Study the stock market pages a few weeks and write down your impressions. If you can come up with something concrete you can easily be written up in the Wall Street Journal and some greedy slob may put you on a handsome retainer. Then the pressure would be off you and you could really devote yourself to the things that are important to you. All the best... -john a. keel === Page 3 of 3 Dec. 29, 1972 Dear John: Thank you...very much...for your letter of December 18. I do not care...whether you back me financially or not. All I was concerned about...was whether you attached any importance or significance to my work, and read my documentation. Now that I know you do read it...I shall continue sending it. Mine is perhaps the greatest story in the entire history of the world. The UFO entities have given me an advanced brain...the brain of Future Man, if you will. Now they want to see what I will do with it. Whether I can survive with this special brain, surrounded by a "sea" of regular human brains that might tend to eject me...as a human body rejects a human transplant. And whether I will misuse my powers...etc etc. So far, I have not...so they allow my mental power to keep increasing as I can withstand it, exponentially. (Change that "withstand" to "adjust to".) As to National Enquirer...I think it is all a ploy on the government's part... to lure out photographs and UFO proof that people have been smart enough to keep away from government agencies. A trick, if you will. NE has blacklisted me for some 4-5 years, probably because of my work against the Eagles in Philly. It was published close by Philly, you know, in New Jersey, and probably had some Philly money behind it. That's just a guess, but what is fact is that several top writers have submitted stories on me to NE, and they've been turned down. They keep on plugging Jean Dixon. As for Otto, wonderful Otto and Ione...they too are struggling...as are most writers now. In no shape to back me. You are right, in that a book on my life would be a wing-ding dandy. But Otto can't find a publisher who's interested. Trouble is, there's no precedent for me...unless one goes back to the time of Moses...so the publishers cannot understand what it is all about. As for the NE prize, I've already told them what they can do with their prize. Hynek sounds real nice over the phone...and he is the only scientist, with Leo Sprinkle, who checked me out...admitted it...and accepted me to study and observe. Well, I'll take that back...Max Fogel and Roland Swenk did, too. Nothing I have done, my friend...has been "futile and fruitless". It just seemed like it, as the years went by. But as time has passed...I have demonstrated a regular rainbow of miracles...psychic miracles...the entire spectrum...whether controlling weather, healing, telepathic and clairvoyant, controlling large groups of people and large military forces with PK, controlling space shots with PK, precognitive work...and so on. This has taken years to "paint an entire picture." Oddly enough, it could not have been done any other way. But during those years as I was guiding hurricanes, controlling radar installation, etc., I did wonder at the 'seemingly' haphazard pattern of what was happening. Now, of course, the picture SEEMS complete, ready to hang on the wall. Yes, the world is mainly run by greed, as you state. Unfortunately for me and mine, I am not. Money to me is simply an ends to buy xeroxing and buy enough rent, food and time to produce more miracles...and follow Si instructions. Maybe the Si's want me to "run hungry". Maybe I work better that way. As you know, key figures back in biblical times like me (Moses, Ezekial, etc.) usually were poor and struggling to put bread on the table. Frankly, John, I don't give a damn about horse races, stock market, or anything like that. Maybe the Si's want to see where my help comes from, if and when it comes. I think so. Best...

Text Any textual data included in the document === Page 1 of 4 Jan. 23, 1972...Dr. Otto Binder Dear Otto: I am powerfully perturbed. The reason is this: this morning I told Martha, my wife, that I had read yesterday's paper...and it told how birds give humans histoplasmosis...a deadly disease...and that our bird, Chirpy, had his cage near our tiny son's playpen. She gave me an argument...and I said impatiently, "Well, which would you rather lose, a bird or our little son Teddy?" Nothing more was said. But several hours later my boy, Beau, came running to me and said "Daddy, Chirpy's dead!" I went and looked inside the cage, and our canary was stone dead. We had had Chirpy for over a year. Nothing wrong with the bird that we knew of. Then...I began thinking. Just recently Norma Hutchinson, the girl reporter in Bedford, Indiana, had received a letter from me...telling how one of my childhood playmates had grown up then blackmailed me from joining the Rotary or something like that...and how embarrassing it was. She'd just written me back several days ago that that very fellow, had suddenly died! Then my mind went to our kitten, Priscilla, of whom we were very fond. Several weeks ago I'd told Martha that she wasn't able to take care of both the kitten and our dog, because she is still weak from her operation. Right after I said that...the kitten vanished! Just disappeared! We looked all over the house, outside, nothing. Now, cats and kittens do that...but not Priscilla. She just never would step foot outside the house, or off the front porch. It was a great mystery to us...where Priscilla had vanished to. And now the canary. And both times...after I opened my mouth. Just as I spoke to Norma in Bedford in a letter...about Bud Wells...and then he dropped dead. Suppose, just suppose, Otto...your theory might be correct. And the power of my mind has become so intense...that on a subconscious basis it does these things! Ted Owens (PK Man) Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens opponents and missing his receivers by inches. And I am sure this was being done. Same thing occurred with the Raiders. Lamonica, in their key playoff game, threw time and again...directly to opposing players. Lamonica's coach, finally, in great disgust and alarm...pulled Lamonica out of the game about the third quarter...and put in Blanda, but by then it was too late to save the Raiders. So again...I feel that Lamonica deliberately threw the game. Same thing happened with the Vikings in their key playoff game. The Viking coach, to the amazement of all the sports writers and experts (see all newspaper clips on their amazement) played a third-string quarterback (who is really a punter) Lee, for three quarters...long enough for Lee to throw numerous interceptions and lose the game. With 10 minutes left Grant, the coach, put in one of his real quarterbacks, Cuozzo, who promptly took the Vikings down the field for a touchdown. But the game by then, again, was lost, and so were the Vikings. So...the three teams I was depending on, mainly, to go all the way to wipe out the Unluckies...folded...due to two quarterbacks and one coach. These three must have been, had to be, paid off by somebody to throw those games. Am I being ridiculous? Not at all! Several weeks ago Pete Rozelle, Commissioner of all pro football, appeared on television and admitted, under questioning, that the NFL had given lie-detector tests to some of the NFL coaches...for gambling questions! (Evidently they didn't give lie-detector tests to the quarterbacks...who can throw a game, lose a game, by throwing deliberate interceptions, missing their receivers by inches, calling wrong plays (a running play when a pass is needed, a passing play when a running play is needed.) So as far as I am concerned...hanky-panky manipulations in the playoffs...defeated the PK work I had done, and was trying to do. And this was given full credence by the admission of Rozelle. (The possibility thereof. I have myself, of course, no way of getting absolute proof. Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 2 of 4 Jan. 22, 1972 Mr. Otto Binder... Dear Otto: Your theory...that I might do much of my PK work...on a subconscious level, has just recently gotten some support. First let's rehash. Shelman, my lawyer in Ft. Worth, double-crossed me...and a month after I left Ft. Worth he dropped dead with a brain hemorrhage. Lou Hackmeier, my agent in Phoenix, later, double-crossed me...and about a month after I left Phoenix he crashed his car and became a lump of lifeless jelly. (Interestingly enough, Shelman dropped dead in his car, on a freeway.) And there were others, too...too many to go into here. Lately...while I was writing my memoirs to Norma Hutchinson, a reporter for the Bedford Daily-Times Mail in Bedford, Indiana...I wrote her and told her what a bad time Bud Wells had given me, causing me to be blackballed some years ago in my home town...when a Methodist minister tried to get me into a local organization. Norma just wrote me and told me...that WHILE she was writing my articles to put into the paper...and of course, getting this info on Bud Wells...Bud Wells suddenly died. Note: he didn't die last year, or five years ago...he just died while I was writing about my 'mad' about him! Makes me wonder how my arch-enemy Dr. Pratt...and Bill Bell...are faring. I have no wish for them to die...just to be punished...hard. Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens opponents and missing his receivers by inches. And I am sure this was being done.

I am, therefore, going to explain it to you...for I feel that I owe you, as well as them, an explanation. First, I did stop the World Champion Colts, Superbowl champs of the previous year...as I said I would. Not only that, but I wrote Carroll Rosenbloom the middle of the season and told him I'd knock out Norm Bulaich, their star runner...and other key players...so that they would not be available in the playoffs. As you know, Norm Bulaich and Tom Matte, their running aces, were injured and could not play in the key playoff game. So Miami won. and the Colts would lose. the Colts lost Also I went to great lengths to stop the powerful Kansas City Chiefs...the team most experts picked to go to the Super Bowl. It was my PK that ruined the field goal attempts of their ace kicker...and enabled Yepremian to make his kick to beat the Chiefs. Now...my PK worked terrifically. For instance, in the 49'rs-Cowboys playoff game...my PK held back practically every Cowboy attempt to score in the first half, giving the 49'rs every chance to score...and win. Instead, Brodie of the 49'rs passed the ball directly to Andrie of the Cowboys...giving the Cowboys an easy touchdown. It is my personal belief that Brodie threw the game. He went on throwing the ball to various Cowboys, and kept missing his receivers by inches. A complete turnabout of form from his previous games. To sum it up: it is well-nigh impossible for PK to help a team win, when its quarterback is deliberately trying to throw the game...by tossing passes to opponents and missing his receivers by inches. And I am sure this was being done. Same thing occurred with the Raiders. Lamonica, in their key playoff game, threw time and again...directly to opposing players. Lamonica's coach, finally, in great disgust and alarm...pulled Lamonica out of the game about the third quarter...and put in Blanda, but by then it was too late to save the Raiders.

Second...if you will get the paperback book, "Morning of the Magicians" and take careful note from p. 375 on...you will see a lot of material...that applies to PK Man there. It is utterly amazing...the relevance. Third...and the main reason for this missive...a MOST IMPORTANT "HIT"...or proof of demonstration from the Si's...called in advance by me. See...get from your file...my Contact letter of Nov. 1, 1971. Last one, I believe. In it...read: "About two weeks ago the Si's urged me to rush out a contact letter to the scientists in particular...that they would cause something spectacular to happen, not on earth...but in outer space that could be observed from earth...to show what powers they have. (Take careful note of those underlined parts. Ted)." Then I pointed out that there was, observed from earth, a mysterious, unprecedented, storm on Mars...dust storm...nothing ever seen like it. (And I was furious, because I hadn't had the money to notify everybody...I could have notified just the scientists, but I wanted to notify all 80 at once, and couldn't.) Well...GET THIS...THE SI'S HAVE SIMPLY GIVEN ANOTHER DEMONSTRATION! To demonstrate their awesome powers...and remember...I told you this was their intention on Nov. 1, 1971. In this morning's paper: (Virginian-Pilot, Norfolk): "COULD HAVE ROCKED EARTH MASSIVE SUN FLARES PHOTOGRAPHED Washington (AP) - A solar explosion so violent it might have rocked the earth back on its heels a bit - had it been aimed in this direction - has been recorded by an optical device for the first time. Solar physicists of the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) were elated not only at the dramatically informative pictures themselves but at the demonstration of a completely new method for observing solar flares. Major explosive outbursts of the sun's atmosphere cause such effects on earth as blackouts of long-distance radio communication and even of telephone service, spectacular displays of the northern lights, and geomagnetic storms in the earth's natural magnetic field. And when they are of the fantastic energy associated with the solar eruptions of Dec. 13 they could, if they hit the earth directly in full concentration, slow the earth's rotation. (note: please see in my past letters my own reference to the Si's "earth-brake". Ted) said Dr. Richard Tousey, chief of the NRL rocket spectroscopy branch. "Sudden very small changes in the rotation period of the earth, in the past, could have been caused by the impact of material from the sun or outer space," Tousey told a news conference. The eruption seen in action Dec. 13 (1971) and recorded optically for the first time in the history of science, was classified as a major solar flare.....the "Class 2" flare photographed Dec. 13 by an instrument called a white light cronograph, aboard the OSO7 Orbiting Solar Observatory, showed clouds of electrons and protons at million-degree temperatures, measuring 20 to 40 times the diameter of the earth, rushing away from the back side of the sun at 600 miles a second." All right...Contacts. The Si's have just given a second demonstration of their powers...after having me write you that "mad" letter of Nov. 1 (mad because they'd given a demonstration on Mars for our benefit...and I didn't get you notified in advance.) Well, you were notified in advance of this second demonstration of theirs. And you know what? Having this kind of power...the Si's could just as easily, I am certain...strike the earth with the above...instead of throwing the power from the back side of the sun...if they went to, any old time. By using their own "earth brake" thus...they could alter the entire surface of the earth! And its inhabitants!

"The countdown on the Atlas-Centaur rocket had advanced smoothly to within 59 minutes of the planned 8:52 p.m. liftoff when the blockhouse suddenly lost industrial power." Now, as you can see from the above...the loss of power happened exactly during the time-span that I was notifying Larry Maddry and Otto Binder that I would stop this rocket with my mind. The article goes on to point out that there had been a storm two hours earlier...and that perhaps this might have caused the power-loss. That is so simple to rebut...that a baby could do it. Why, if the storm was two hours earlier, did the storm wait two hours to knock out the power...? Why didn't it knock out the power at 7 PM? Or 7:30 PM? No, the power went out...when I called Larry Maddry and Otto Binder and told them I would stop the rocket. Then the power went out! Gentlemen...in the past few weeks...I have brought rain down onto Puerto Rico; brought a UFO over Mayaguez so that Dr. Arenas could see it; produced earthquakes in California (see your file copy of my letter of intent to that effect three months ago); and now have stopped the Jupiter rocket last night...all with my mind. It is indeed curious to me...how many miracles you need to see...before you believe in my reality and the reality of my co-workers, the Si's. 300 miracles? 400 miracles? Where must it end? My power is progressing geometrically...so the miracles coming up ahead, should really be something. The Si's warn the govt. once more...if I should die before my time to do so (and they will know, regardless)...they will unhesitatingly destroy the entire United States! What I, and they, are doing...is unprecedented...and presses perhaps upon tender ground, re the govt...but it must be done nevertheless, because the overall purpose of this, is much greater than any of its parts. If, vy, I can stop a huge rocket...block the millions of dollars of NASA and the best brains of NASA...solely with my mind...is this so much less important than the rocket shot itself? Think about that a bit.

CHURCH OF SOTA (FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED HELP) Box 48 Cape Charles, Va. 23310 Church of Sota (Secrets of the Ages) March 13, 1972 Dr. Hynek Dr. Sprinkle Gentlemen: Columbia Studios (Mikels) is considering doing a movie based on my experiences. But first...they are going to pay me a fee...to fly out to California and try to give a live demonstration with UFO's, for them to photograph with movie cameras, etc. Since I make my living working with and for UFO's...just as you do in the field of astronomy...and the field of psychology...a fee is in order. Now, I am writing you...not because I want anything...but because I figured that possibly I could do you a favor, since you two have proven to have objective, open scientific minds...instead of narrow, closed scientific minds. If you would like to have someone you know, come along when I give this experiment-demonstration...then I will allow it. I am going to hand-pick who goes along on this 2-3 day junket into the isolated countryside; and I am going to pick the location for it as well. In short...am going to go all out...to make this a really bang-up demonstration. It is an odd fact...that never, repeat never, have I ever failed to bring a UFO out into plain sight...on one of these demonstrations! Best example, of course, of this...was with Mr. Ed Ames, the realtor, in Brewer, Maine...when I told him I'd bring one out in two weeks over Brewer-Bangor area, and had to be reported in the papers...and brought one out in exactly one week which scared people, knocked out car lights and radios, etc., and was reported on the front page of the paper. And just to do the job right...I will also endeavor to bring out a "big-foot" giant, and/or a "mothman", to be photographed. Of course, I'll also try to get a UFO down where we are...but have never been able to do that yet. But when the Si's and I operate together...anything at all can happen. Of course, there's the chance that for the first time nothing will happen. But that's the chance we take. All I can do is try...and do my best. My best has been good for miracle after miracle after miracle...through the years and still going strong. This demonstration will not be to try to win any prize of money for "tangible evidence of outer space" etc. The demonstration will be so that the movie people will be able to get good film footage for the movie coming up...which movie will please the Si's. (My Si's are not from "outer space" anyway, but another dimension. And they are about as "intangible" as it can get.) So far I have dealt with their powers...not their tangible forms or tangible craft. Anyway, for whatever it is worth to you...there's the offer on my part to try and hand you gentlemen something in the way of information, concrete information, on the Si's in a more direct manner than heretofore (i.e., not affidavits, etc.) Owens (PK Man) === Page 2 of 11 March 6, 1972 TO ALL CONTACTS Last week I called the editor of the Baltimore Sun...to give him some important information. Unfortunately he did not know me, he said...nor my work...and his manner was insolent and insulting (to me, it seemed, anyway). In exasperation, I finally did something I have never done in my life...hung up on him. I have thought on this...and have reached a decision. That editor needs to be taught a lesson, somehow. The Baltimore Bullets pro basketball...that's his home team. Same with the Baltimore Colts. From this time on...I will crush the Bullets and the Colts, with my powers. (If you will note, the Philadelphia 76'rs, with a brilliant team...have been beaten down once again, this season. Same with the Phillies. Same with the Eagles. I never quit.) Now, the playoffs...championship playoffs...are coming up soon for the Baltimore Bullets. I'll use all of my power to make sure...that they do not get anywhere. Specifically...I'll work, play by play, game by game...to make them miss their baskets, and be off-timing. Nervous and off-timing. Of course...I did this to them last year, quite successfully. I even wrote Gene Shue and told him there would be no use for his team to suit up for the remaining four games...because I'd make the Bullets lose. What happened? They lost them all! I'm not infallible; not always successful; but I do my best. And my best...usually is good enough! The Bullets and the Colts...are sunk. As of now. Owene (PKMan) === Page 3 of 11 March 10, 1972 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS (I am late getting to this... because of so many things happening to me since January, However... better late than never.) Some years ago... I ended the East Coast Six Years Drought, and the 2-year killer drought in India... after first going on Jack McKinney's "Night Talk" radio show, WCAU, in Philadelphia, and announcing my intent over the air. (Then backing it up in writing to my contacts of that time.) I have just done it again. (See New York Times newsclip attached: "KENYA: THE DROUGHT ENDS") In Brad Steiger's book, "What The Seers Predict For 1972", Lancer pocketbook, on page 140... is the following (in the chapter devoted to my work): "RAINS IN AFRICA" "In Africa the rains will come and fill up the empty rivers, streams, and water holes where wildlife go to obtain their water. I have set this up in 1971, and the PK should be working up great power for this in 1972." That's three times now... I have documented such a major happening in advance. Isn't that wonderful coincidence? Best.......... Owens PK Man === Page 4 of 11 NY Times 1/31/72 THE NEW YORK TIMES, MO Kenya: The Drought Ends Argus Africa-Photo Trends In addition to wildlife parks, tourists in Kenya can view "woodhenge" figures done in Kigangu style, at Kenyatta College. Tourism, major money-maker for Kenya, is improving. NAIROBI, Kenya--Marked economic improvement is the hope for Kenya this year after some setbacks in 1971, including a drought that lasted for many months. Two major factors are expected to figure in the rosier 1972 picture. The first is Kenya's decision to peg her currency to the dollar. This move, taken along with the Governments of the partner states of Tanzania and Uganda, is expected to afford greater leverage in both domestic and foreign monetary transactions. The second important factor in Kenya's economy was the ending of the long drought, which had retarded agricultural production. Farming accounts for 70 per cent of this East African country's economy. Kenyan farmers' incomes declined in 1971, while rising prices in industrial countries led to an increase in import prices for Kenya. Informed sources here said that because of the drought, it seemed likely that the country's 1971 growth rate would turn out to be below the 7 to 7 1/2 per cent it has averaged since 1964. Agriculture may continue to be hampered to some extent this year, but investment in manufacturing continued steady last year, and some experts believe it will be strengthened by measures to replace imports with domestically made goods. Kenya's agricultural staples have long included coffee and livestock products, including meat, hides and dairy products. The country produces tea, sisal and a variety of other crops. Tourism, a major earner, is on the upswing, based on the attraction of Kenya's spectacular wildlife and game parks. The prospect of more American tourists raises particular hopes. The average American visitor spends about $42 a day compared with about $25 for the average European. Kenya's main trading partner is Britain, but she has trade and aid links with a variety of nations. Imports from the United States are likely to increase, because the pegging of the Kenya shilling to the dollar has made the pound sterling more expensive. American investment in Kenya is estimated at between $90-million and $100-million, mostly industrial -- in petroleum marketing, canning, battery manufacture, tires and bottling. Economic relations with other nations include substantial imports from Japan. The country's most serious economic problem is rising unemployment, and the challenge of creating jobs is expected to grow as the population, now about 11 million, increases. Although Kenya's balance of payments position at year-end was described by the Government as "very healthy" and foreign-earnings prospects for 1972 "very good," a serious long-term problem was brought to light in December--the need for proper land usage. Parts of the National Report on Human Environment were published and one of these dealt with the country's soil-carrying capacity. Four-fifths of the country is arid, thus limiting the area that can produce food surpluses and cash crops for export. With one of the highest population growth rates in the world (3.3 per cent a year), some of Kenya's areas with fertile soils are reaching their carrying capacity and some -- notably in western and central Kenya -- have already exceeded their carrying capacity. === Page 5 of 11 Seawell Succeeds 3/23/72 # Halaby Quits Pan Am NEW YORK (AP)--Najeeb E. Halaby resigned Wednesday as chairman and chief executive officer of Pan American World Airways and was succeeded by William T. Seawell, a former Rolls-Royce executive who became the airline's president last November. Halaby had no immediate comment on his resignation, which came at a Pan Am board meeting which had been advanced two weeks from its scheduled April date. The resignation came amid speculation that Halaby might have differed on policy matters with Seawell, the 54-year-old chief operating officer of the airline, which is the nation's biggest international carrier. Halaby, 56, was named president of Pan Am in 1968, chief executive officer since 1969 and chairman since last May 5. He had been both president and chairman until Seawell was picked last November. Pan Am also said Wednesday that it sustained a net loss of $10.9 million in February, a bigger loss than the $7.7 million deficit in the same month a year earlier. The airline has listed losses every year since 1969 and reported a deficit of $45.6 million in 1971, compared with a loss of $48.5 million the year before. 1969... when I first used PK on Pan Am, then FBI came to our office!! TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS..... This Pan Am PK case...parallels the Phila. Eagle PK Case...if you will notice. I hit the Eagles with PK...this was written up in the papers by McGinnis (who later wrote the best-seller, "The Selling Of A President")...then the Eagles proceeded to lose their games; players got injured way past the usual percentage; the coach Kuharich got fired; and the owner, Jerry Wolman...worth over 50 million on paper...went bankrupt. In the Pan Am action the Si's told me in '69 to write Najeeb Halaby personally and ask him to finance my work with them, and if he would not...then they, the Si's...would take action against Halaby and Pan Am. This was written up in the Norfolk paper by Maddry...and two FBI men came to the office where I was working to question me. Following this all sorts of peculiar things began to happen to the 747's. Attached are some of them. I documented one particular thing I did, personally, concerning two of them. Anyway, what has followed...has duplicated exactly the Phila. Eagles' pattern. From my start in PK'ing Pan Am...they've begun to go broke (see clip above). And to top it off, Halaby himself is out. These things have not been done by the Si's and I for purely malicious or frivolous purposes. The Si's have been trying desperately to get someone, somewhere, to financially back my "research" with UFO's. When they would not, then the Si's used them...for demonstration purposes.

"For the best interests of all, I am withdrawing from the situation," he said. "My premise on playing is that my team play as hard as possible for as long as possible. This team did not reflect my philosophy." Ramsay, 46, said he still wanted to coach. "If a geographical move is necessary," he said, "my family is prepared to make it wherever it may be. I will wait to see what develops." Ramsay, who had one year remaining in his contract with the 76ers, said he had no problems with the team's owner, Irv Kosloff, or with general manager Don DeJardin. He said he told DeJardin Wednesday of his decision to resign. | PHILADELPHIA | | | | GOLDEN STATE | | | | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | | G | F | T | | G | F | T | | Lee | 9 | 1-2 | 19 | Bridges | 3 | 0-0 | 6 | | Russell | 10 | 2-2 | 22 | Cunham | 6 | 5-5 | 17 | | Th'mnd | 11 | 10-13 | 32 | Awtrey | 8 | 0-0 | 16 | | Barnett | 5 | 4-6 | 14 | Greer | 13 | 1-2 | 27 | | Mullins | 6 | 1-1 | 13 | Foster | 1 | 2-3 | 4 | | Portman | 1 | 0-0 | 2 | Henry | 3 | 0-0 | 6 | | Williams | 3 | 8-8 | 14 | Jackson | 7 | 4-4 | 18 | | | | | | Loughry | 2 | 0-0 | 4 | | | | | | Wohl | 1 | 0-0 | 2 | | Totals | 45 | 26-32 | 116 | Totals | 47 | 21-26 | 115 | Golden State .......... 27 37 27 25-116 Philadelphia .......... 26 30 34 25-115 Fouled out-None.

Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 7 of 11 2nd, 3rd From Boat # Bodies Recovered PORTSMOUTH--The bodies of two men who were aboard the ill-fated oyster boat Betty Ann II were found Sunday about 20 miles south of the mouth of the Potomac River where a third drowning victim was found Saturday. A Coast Guard spokesman here at the 5th District Coast Guard headquarters identified the two men as Lloyd Stevens, 67, and Charles Stevens, 21, of Chestertown, Md. The body of Kenneth L. Stevens, 44, the son of the eldest victim and father of the youngest, was found about 3:10 p.m. Saturday by the pleasure boat Mary Ann between Smith Point, near the mouth of the Potomac, and Tangier Island. All three bodies were wearing life jackets. A Coast Guard HU16 twin-engine seaplane located what looked like two life jackets off Windmill Point early Sunday afternoon. An air-cushion vehicle was dispatched to the scene and found the two bodies, the spokesman said. The Betty Ann II left Newport News Thursday enroute to Rock Hall, Md., the Coast Guard said. An initial medical examination of the body found Saturday indicated that Kenneth Stevens probably drowned Friday, according to the spokesman. "We still don't have any idea what happened to the boat. We have found some debris, that could have come from the boat, in the area where the bodies were found," the spokesman said. 3/6/72 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS I believe this is a most important letter to you. First, see Brad Steiger's book, "What The Seers Predict for 1972", at your bookstore, Lancer Pocketbook. Chapter on my work. P. 140, part of my chapter..."Mysterious Forces from Bodies of Water...The Si's have ordered humans to stop polluting lakes, rivers, streams, and oceans within three months time or they will have the bodies of water -- which carry a combined intelligence which humans know nothing about -- attack human beings in their own way. As of this time, the governments have done nothing, so you might expect all sorts of things going on against humans coming from bodies of water in 1972. This will not be a good year to go swimming, fishing, or boating. It could cost you your life." Note above...I said the Si's would have the bodies of water attack! I.e., this would be Si-caused phenomena! Now, examine these newsclips on p. 1, 2 and 3. These came from the papers of yesterday and today only. All of these did! Why? To get my attention...so that I would notice it, then write to you. Now, the bombshell is p. 3, great wipe-out in Man, West Virginia. You will recall, from past correspondence (and stated in Binder's Saga articles also)...that I claim the UFO's "talk" to us...by having things happen like the long string of police cars that followed a UFO for a hundred miles, a few years ago...it even slowed up so the police cars could catch up with it, when it got ahead...and it led all those police cars to a town called Freedom (in Pa., I believe.) They were saying...in this way...that they could lead us humans to freedom. Now, on p. 3...you have yet another message from the Si's...they are saying, "This destruction is coming to man (mankind) (Man, West Virginia...name of the town) because "man" is not listening to us, or cooperating with us, or Owens, our go-between." In essence...the Si's, then, are talking to us in a way we can understand. Remember the case of the Michigan Monster...that put out a giant hand and stopped a car going 50 mph? It reached in, grabbed the girl driver by the hair (while the girl's mother jumped out the other door and ran) and gently, very gently, bumped the girl's head against the side of the car. It did not harm the girl. And the girl's maiden name? Owens. By doing this...the Si's were sending a talk message...that with all of their power (the Michigan Monster could have crushed the girl's head like a soda-cracker)...they mean no harm; intend no harm. That was the message and they way they sent it at that time...and I got the message clearly. From Owens to Owens. Think of the ingeniousness of it! It had to be done just in that manner...to a girl named Owens...and be reported in the papers...so that I'd see it and understand and relay it on to humans. In deliberately turning loose the dam onto Man, West Virginia...the Si's are telling us that they, not we...control our water supplies. They control our oceans and our seas. And that they are getting impatient about the whole thing. The urgency...of our cooperating with the Si's...cannot be stressed in strong enough terms! What they want now...is for me to be placed, to live, on the Mayaguez-end of the island of Puerto Rico (the corner of the Bermuda Triangle) so that they can reach me more easily, thus communicate in an easier fashion. My present location almost voids the kind of contact they want with me. And it is my conviction that they will raise hell...until they get what they want. PS...this and mailing dropping is costing me dearly. Send help if you can. -- Owens (PK Man) === Page 8 of 11 A8 Virginian-Pilot, Monday, March 6, 1972 # All Safe As Turkish Ship Burns ISTANBUL (UPI)--The 6,000-ton liner Marmara, (one of Turkey's most luxurious passenger ships) burned and sank Sunday in Istanbul's Golden Horn harbor while waiting to dock for repairs. Fire department officials said all the crew were rescued and there was no loss of life. The vessel carried no passengers. Istanbul's entire land and sea firefighting force fought the blaze for eight hours and managed to avert an explosion that might have ignited nearby vessels and shore-based fuel dumps but could not save the liner itself, a fire department spokesman said. "We lost the ship but Allah was with us and we forestalled a situation which could have been worse than tragic," the spokesman said. The cause of the fire was not immediately known he said. Flames spread through the Marmara before she sinks. (UPI) 3/5/72 Water # A Light Stand By PAUL RECER GALVESTON, Tex. (AP)--A tiny light, spearing the darkness with tireless winks, stands a lonely vigil 50 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. Below that light--90 feet down in the clear blue of the Gulf--lies the twisted and shattered remains of a tanker. It was the V. A. Fogg, a 28-year-old vessel which once enjoyed a reputation as one of the finest ships of the U.S. tanker fleet. Men enjoyed working its white decks. In a dangerous trade where workers often move from vessel to vessel, the Fogg was a favorite, with airconditioned quarters, and well-maintained machinery. "It was one of the best," says a man who knows tankers and operates a competitor. "That's what's so puzzling--most like it was an act of God." On Feb. 1, the Fogg was in Freeport, ridding herself on the last of a large load of benzene, by venting it through a column of smoke rising through a dense cloud bank below him. He reported it by radio. The Coast Guard was alerted, but a search by aircraft revealed nothing and was canceled. The next morning, Feb. 2, officials of the Texas City Tankers Co. were becoming worried. The Fogg had been due in Houston at 2 a.m., but had not reported. Nor was she answering radio-telephone calls. Shortly after noon, the company formally declared the vessel overdue and notified the Coast Guard. There followed a massive search by ships, airplanes, and helicopters which lasted 11 days and ended in failure. Then, Joseph D. Cheavens, 31, Houston, attorney for the shipowners, checked a tape recording of conversation between the test pilot and a control tower. In it he found a location which was miles from where the Coast Guard had searched. The company hired a ship 3/6/72 # Hovercraft That Killed 4 Goes Under PORTSMOUTH, England (AP)--A 10-ton hovercraft which flipped over onto its back in Portsmouth harbor during a gale, killing four passengers, sank Sunday alongside a Royal Navy repair ship. A salvage attempt will be made. The vessel, which plied between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight riding on a cushion of air, was just coming in to land late Saturday when a big wave lifted one side and high winds tipped it over. Twenty-two passengers and crewmen were saved, but a man, two women, and 7-year-old Julie O'Connell were trapped inside and died. Julie had always wanted to go for a hovercraft ride and she was taken on a round trip by a friend as a special treat. The friend was saved. Temporary restrictions on hovercraft operations, including a speed limit of 30 knots, were imposed by Hovertravel, Ltd., owners and operators of the craft which turned over. The restrictions will remain until an official inquiry is ended, a spokesman said. 3/5/72 # Soviet Ships Hover Near Disabled Sub WASHINGTON (AP) -- About nine Soviet ships hovered around a disabled Russian missile-firing submarine Saturday as the sub continued to drift in the stormy North Atlantic eight days after it broke down. The Navy reported that two long-range Russian patrol bombers dropped 23 packages to the submarine by parachute the second such resupply effort since mid-week. The H Class submarine, which carries three 650-mile range missiles, was reported drifting about 900 miles east northeast of Newfoundland amid waves running up to 15 feet and intermittent snow squalls. A Soviet submarine tender was observed Friday by NATO patrol planes based on Iceland when the sub tender was about 400 miles northeast of the sub and on course toward it. === Page 9 of 11 B16 Virginian-Pilot, Sunday, March 5, 1972 Nature vs. humans same signal as "Freedom Town" A Black Onslaught of Water Bathed a Land IN DESTRUCTION The Living Stir Around In the Mud 3/5/72 By BEN BEAGLE Landmark News Service MAN, W.Va. -- James Brunty's name was the first one on the typed sheet taped to the glass of the trophy case at Man High School. It didn't say much about James Brunty; only that he was deceased." And the list had 71 other names on it five days after James Brunty died in a rush of black water that did incredible things as it washed down 12 to 15 miles of Buffalo Hollow. The water took Daryl Kay Dillard, too. The list was a little more specific about Daryl Kay. They had put "little girl" in parentheses beside her name. It didn't say whether they had lived in Pardee or Craneco or Lundale or in any of the more than a dozen coal towns which had been strung out like an unclasped necklace along Buffalo Creek. The thing that turned Buffalo Creek into a killer was a dam, a coal company slag heap dam, which had held back for a long, long time the waters of a tributary of Buffalo Creek. The dam broke on Feb. 26, a Saturday morning, and Craneco and Pardee and Lundale and almost everything else down the hollow to Man went with it. The debris literally bumped into each other so hard that witnesses on higher ground saw sparks fly. At a place called Man, nature has rearranged and ruined the belongings of man. The sewing machines in the home economics room have been pushed against the wall to make room for the cots. By midweek, some of the victims have started moving out of Man High School. The list will soon be gone from the trophy case, along with the optimistic, 16 pages of "known survivors." For miles up Buffalo Hollow, wood which once made houses, drifts in the black, still swift waters of the creek. On the banks are those sharp reminders of the Deeper in the hollow, where Lundale used to be, heavy equipment is still working on the road. A construction man in a new and clean pickup truck is fascinated by what he saw at Lundale: a church on the railroad tracks with the tracks running out the front door. Up the hollow from Accoville, there is Braeholm, closer to the wild water, but most of the residents there heeded a radio warning and took the high ground. "They used to call it Buryhome." "By God, it's buried now," passed and his house unbolted and sitting on the roadside, wants to know what to do about his house. It is worth $12,000, he said. It is cleaned up now and if he could get moved he could live in it. He thinks it is the Health Department which must tell him what he wants to know but he says that nobody will tell him what he wants to know. There is talk that the houses all jumbled there together will be torn up or burned. Clark and the other men gathered on the road say that the carpet wasn't even hurt, he says. A relative of Garland Clark's came by Friday night, a rainy night, and said the water was close to the top of the dam.

Ted Owens (PK Man) Ted Owens === Page 3 of 16 3/7 Mission: Porpoise-able # Red Frogmen Nosed Out by Navy SAIGON (UPI)--The U.S. Navy has pulled a supersecret team of warrior porpoises out of Vietnam after a year of guarding against Communist frogmen, military sources said Saturday. The sources said the porpoises, trained at the Navy Undersea Research and Development Center in San Diego, Calif., left Vietnam last November, possibly to return to San Diego. The six porpoises and their dozen trainers had the job while in Vietnam of guarding the harbor of the Cam Ranh Bay air base from Communist frogmen. Weapons were attached to their snouts and on several occasions they killed underwater guerrillas, the sources said. Although their presence was open knowledge throughout the country, the Navy stamped "top secret" on the project and refused to answer almost all questions about the porpoises. A Navy spokesman issued a brief communique Saturday saying only: "The collection of research data scheduled for the Republic of Vietnam concerning surveillance capabilities of porpoises was completed in late 1971 and the porpoises have been withdrawn. Further details are not available." The sources said the porpoises, while in Vietnam, were taken out into the harbor at Cam Ranh Bay each day in a special boat and set loose. They said sailors in the boat used a radio transmitter-receiver system to order the porpoises to patrol different areas of the harbor or to bring them back to the boat. The sources said an assortment of different weapons, one resembling a switchblade, were attached to the snouts of the porpoises. On seeing a swimmer they signalled their trainers and, if given the okay, then went in and attacked. The sources said there were "several proven cases" of porpoises killing underwater guerrillas at Cam Ranh Bay, but they declined to give any details. Communist frogmen never managed to blow up any ships at Cam Ranh Bay while the porpoises were on duty although they hit vessels in all of Vietnam's other major ports. 3/22/72 ## Frogmen Combat # Navy Tried to Drill Dogs In Underwater Warfare NORFOLK--The Navy, after repeated queries, Tuesday said that it was attempting until last fall to teach dogs to swim underwater to detect and possibly kill enemy frogmen. Project Aquadog, as the study was called, was terminated in September after the Navy evaluated its findings and declared the program unfeasible, an Atlantic Fleet spokesman said. Most of the research was carried out at Panama City, Fla., with the help of personnel from Seal Team 2 at Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base. The project was so hush-hush that the Navy denied its existence and refused to answer queries from newsmen. Lt. Mike Sherman in the Navy's Washington information office said March 3 that the service "has traditionally used dogs for sentry and guard duty. It has experimented with them in a number of ways to capitalize on their special attributes." Not hinting that Project Aquadog had existed until September, Sherman added that "we are not studying the use of dogs swimming underwater." An Atlantic Fleet spokesman said that the project was designed to provide "a new technique for inshore undersea warfare forces concerned with swimmer defense." He acknowledged that the dogs were being taught to detect enemy frogmen. The spokesman said that results of the study were not substantial and further evaluation of the program was not considered necessary. CONTACTS To further point out..........why the Si's have abandoned the U.S., and been, in fact, sickened by the activities of the U.S. -- read these newsclips. You must understand..........one of the most important things mankind can do..........is to make a breakthrough in communication with the "lower life forms" of earth..........animals, birds, insects, fish. because these lower life forms can teach us humans much..........and conversely..........we can teach the lower life forms much..........once the communications-gap is bridged. So what do we do? We U.S. humans try to communicate with porpoises..........NATURALLY A FRIENDLY MAMMAL..........FRIENDLY TO HUMANS..........and we train them to HATE and KILL! We U.S. humans also try to repeat this HATE and KILL program with dogs. Is it any wonder..........that the Si's..........and Nature itself..........have turned their hands AGAINST us, the U.S., and other humans? Ted Owens (PK Man) 4/'72 Owens === Page 4 of 16 (Those 3 "thrown" games in last year's pro football playoffs... that beat the PK!) # Congressional Probe Seeks Ties Between Crime, Sports 4/30/72 WASHINGTON (AP)--Alleged organized crime ties with race tracks in Detroit, New Orleans, and the Northeast will be leadoff targets of a House probe next month on infiltration of criminal elements into professional sports, Rep. Sam Steiger said last week. The Arizona Republican said the House Select Committee on Crime hearings also will deal with the Emprise Corp., which has financial sports interests including stock in more than 30 race tracks across the country. Steiger has been charging on the House Floor for two years that Emprise has Cosa Nostra ties. Steiger said the hearings will start May 9 with testimony on alleged organized crime financial interests in the Hazel Park Race Track near Detroit, Jefferson Downs in New Orleans, race tracks in New England, upstate New York, and "a situation in New Jersey." He said witnesses will include law enforcement officers and officials of the race tracks. "These hearings will put the spotlight on the fact that organized crime has an extensive investment in sports, all of which involve potential gambling," Steiger said. He said its infiltration into professional sports "is more dangerous than into other legitimate businesses" (because of the potential for fixing sporting events.) Chairman Claude Pepper, D-Fla., has said the hearings will go into other major sports after horse racing (and deal with direct organized crime involvement in "ownership and management of teams, arenas, and concessions" as well as fixing of sporting events.) The hearings were tentatively planned to begin last week but a committee source said they were delayed for a trial in Los Angeles that ended last Wednesday with conviction of Emprise and six persons of conspiracy to hide out-of-state gambling interests in a Las Vegas hotel and casino. They included Anthony J. Zerelli, a major stock holder and director of the Hazel Park Racing Association and identified by the Justice Department in 1967 as a Detroit-organized crime leader, and Michael S. Polizzi also identified by the Justice Department as a Detroit-organized crime leader. Steiger has told the House that Emprise holds stock in both Hazel Park and Jefferson Downs. But Jerry M. Jacobs, president of Emprise headquartered in Buffalo, N.Y., issued a statement saying he was sure the Los Angeles conviction will be reversed on appeal, and saying the verdict was against the old Emprise co-founded by his father, not the new Emprise reorganized by himself. Emprise also owns Sportservice, which operates concessions in stadiums and theaters nationwide; several sports stadiums, and bowling alleys, and restaurants. Jacobs also owns the Cincinnati Royals Basketball team. CONTACTS.......... no doubt when I told you why my PK attack on 14 teams failed to stop the Cowboys... namely, because of three key games deliberately "thrown" by two QB's and one coach... you thought I was just alibiing.

Owens 4/30/72 RED-HOT NOTICE TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS... within 90 days... the Si's warn... the U.S. will either be engaged in a SHOOTING NUCLEAR WAR... or face-to-face, eyeball to eyeball with the Russians prior to a shooting war, a la where Kennedy made the Russ back down. THIS TIME THE RUSS WILL HAVE THE UPPER HAND IN THIS CONFRONTATION... if there is time for a confrontation. The Si's say... that Nixon has a plan in his head right now... which is a bad plan... which will bring this about. And when the time comes for the U.S. to back down, as the Russ did... Nixon will not. He will not be humbled... if it kills every man, women and child of us. Owens === Page 5 of 16 January 20, 1972 President Nixon Dear Sir: Yesterday evening I called Mr. Greenleaf, of the Norfolk FBI...and left a message for him to pass on to Carmine DiBaggio of the Secret Service in Philadelphia...who could then relay it on to you, if need be. The message is: an attack is imminent on our aircraft carriers operating around Vietnam. Attack by MIG's (Communist MIG's) as well as North Viet torpedo boats, perhaps Kamikaze style. I know that a ground attack is expected in Vietnam at any time. However, the North Vietnamese have in mind, and on paper... a very cleverly executed (as yet on paper; plans) attack on our aircraft carriers. And if this decide to put his plan into execution (with Russ help)...it will come any hour, any day. Of course, I am a psychic...have no "hard" information. Just psychic ability. Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 48, Cape Charles, Va. 23310 my prediction! 4/18/72 # Ships of 7th Fleet Get 1st Casualties SAIGON (AP) -- U.S. 7th Fleet destroyers have suffered their first fatalities of the three-week North Vietnamese offensive. The U.S. Command, after nearly 24 hours delay, announced Tuesday that two Americans were killed and 16 injured in incidents Sunday and Monday involving guided-missile frigate Worden in the Gulf of Tonkin and the guided-missile destroyer Buchanan off North Vietnam. The command said one sailor was killed and seven injured aboard the Buchanan by a shell from an enemy shore battery. The ship suffered damage to its superstructure. The other incident was an explosion aboard the Worden which killed one sailor and wounded nine. Robert A. Sterling, 23, has been identified as the victim on the Worden. The Buchanan's victim has not been made known. The U.S. Command, pressed with queries from newsmen, was reported to have put pressure on Adm. Bernard A. Clarey, commander of the Pacific Fleet, to give it a report on the Worden incident. A command statement later gave scant details, saying only: "The exact cause of the explosion has not been determined. Preliminary reports indicate the Worden was beyond range of enemy shore batteries. We do not know whether fire from enemy vessels may have been involved. We have no further details at this time." While sources at the Pentagon said the Worden apparently was attacked by a high-speed North Vietnamese patrol boat, there was speculation in Saigon that it may have been hit by a missile or shell fired from another 7th Fleet ship or from an American jet fighter-bomber. In a 1964 Tonkin Gulf incident two U.S. destroyers allegedly were attacked by North Vietnamese torpedo boats. The details of the incident have long been a matter of controversy. It was used by former President Lyndon B. Johnson as justification for retaliatory air strikes against North Vietnam. # U.S. Ship Hit, Crewman Killed by Red Gunboat 4/18/72 WASHINGTON (AP) -- A U.S. destroyer was attacked in the Gulf of Tonkin Sunday, apparently by a North Vietnamese gunboat, Pentagon sources reported Monday. One American crewman was reported killed and several others wounded in the attack. The sources said the missile frigate Worden was hit by one round, apparently fired from a high-speed North Vietnamese patrol boat. It was not known whether the American vessel returned the fire. The Worden's superstructure was damaged and some communications gear knocked out by the exploding shell, the sources said. No information was available on the number of crewmen injured but the sources confirmed that one man died in the attack. At the time, the Worden was operating in the Northern reaches of the Gulf of Tonkin, acting as a search and rescue vessel for any U.S. pilots whose aircraft may have been damaged in the weekend air raids against the Hanoi-Haiphong area. The frigate was reported damaged so much that it had to be ordered back to the Philippines for repairs. The sources said they could not positively identify the Communist vessel of the attack from the information available in Washington, but one informant said the Worden was in such a position that the shellfire could not have come from shore positions. The U.S. command in Saigon said earlier Monday that it had no information on the incident, but Pentagon officials indicated that additional details would be announced in Saigon once next of kin had been notified. === Page 6 of 16 April 19, 1972 To my six scientists.......... Here..........is, in a nutshell.......... the utter foolishness of the U.S. Government and its agencies. Note that I wrote Nixon January 20..........warning in advance..........that our ships would be attacked off Viet Nam. (The only other time it happened there some years ago Pres. Johnson on Wednesday, and the torpedo boats struck at our carriers on Friday.) Now, it isn't just the fact that it happened, that is significant. What is important..........is that if I were taken seriously..........experts might have pondered what on earth could cause such a thing to happen. Remember that at that time the present crisis was not happening there. So the experts might have been able to project..........what is happening now..........and we'd (U.S.) be way ahead of the game. Or, they simply might have asked me. But they didn't. Shortly after this phone call to warn of this attack on our warships..........I tried to call again..........when Nixon went to China..........because I had some red hot info for the U.S. Government. This time I was rudely brushed off, in Norfolk, by the Secret Service girl operator. So the Si's informed me to not help, or try to help, the U.S. govt. any further..........no matter what. Yesterday, for example..........the Si's briefed me on a terrible blow which will be dealt U.S. forces soon..........and they told me how, where and when. But they also instructed me..........NOT to pass this information on! Those scientists in North Carolina and Virginia..........who ignore me as a crackpot..........are utter fools..........as are the various government agencies who have turned down Si help. Let's face it..........I have unheard of, fantastic, miraculous powers..........and no amount of making light of me or my powers by two or three other scientific idiots..........will make my powers diminish or go away. My powers..........are just getting more powerful all of the time. Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 7 of 16 # Reds Attack U.S. Force in Tonkin Gulf By JOSEPH FRIED Staff Correspondent of THE NEWS Saigon, Thursday, April 20--North Vietnamese Mig planes and torpedo boats attacked a United States war flotilla in the Gulf of Tonkin yesterday, U.S. headquarters reported today. A spokesman said that one enemy plane was shot down and that two of the North Vietnamese vessels were sunk. First reports on the sea battle said that one American ship was damaged and that four crewmen were wounded. At least three Migs were involved along with "several" high-speed North Vietnamese warships. The Sterett reportedly bagged Mig and two surface craft in Tonkin Gulf. # Navy Force Attacked In the Gulf of Tonkin The attack was the first of the war by Migs against anything but American planes and it was the first major sea engagement since the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964. At that time, North Vietnamese torpedo boats allegedly attacked two American destroyers and the United States retaliated with air raids against North Vietnam. Meanwhile, in ground action, the Communists moved their offensive into a fourth week by overrunning the district town of Hoai An, 290 miles northeast of Saigon and assaulting the major stronghold of Dau Tieng, 40 miles northwest of Saigon. American planes resumed heavy raids on North Vietnam, concentrating on supply targets in the lower panhandle. The sea attack yesterday came after days of American naval bombardment of North Vietnamese targets supporting Hanoi's offensive in South Vietnam. Military sources said that the U.S. destroyer Hamner sunk a North Vietnamese gunboat and chased off a second enemy vessel last weekend as American warplanes were raiding targets in the Hanoi-Haiphong area. Yesterday, headquarters said, the Migs and torpedo boats struck the American warships, including destroyers, cruisers and support vessels, as Navy gunners bombarded the North Vietnamese shore at a point 20 to 30 miles above the demilitarized zone. Shortly after the Migs appeared, SAIGON (AP) -- In the first such action of the war, North Vietnamese MIGs attacked U.S. destroyers off North Vietnam Wednesday, damaging an American ship and wounding four sailor. One plane was shot down, the U.S. Command reported. Enemy torpedo boats also swarmed out from shore as the destroyers were shelling coastal targets and at least two of the torpedo boats were believed sunk by gunfire from the guided missile frigate Sterett, the command said. The use of Soviet-built Migs against the American fleet in the gulf was interpreted here as a major escalation by North Vietnamese commanders.

Now get this...I will be in Madison Square Garden, personally (not watching over TV, like today) on this coming Tuesday...at 1 PM...to finish off the Baltimore Bullets...making them nervous, making them miss! Today was the 1st game I could get your Bullets on TV...in sight range, and my PK was terribly strong! Now let's see if I can polish you off in style this coming Tuesday!

The Knicks outscored the Bullets, 19-8, in the closing moments to win the seven-game series, four games to two. They next meet Baltimore for the Eastern Conference title. to the NBA championship round before losing to Milwaukee. With DeBusschere and Bradley carrying the early load, New York matched Baltimore's balanced scoring to stay even with the Bullets at 10-10. Then, teaming with Frazier, DeBusschere led a New York charge as the Knicks outscored Baltimore, 14-2. But a series of jump shots by Phil Chenier brought Baltimore back within eight points at 27-19 going into the second quarter. Another hot streak led by Phil Jackson enabled the Knicks to go in front, 42-33, in the second period but with Marin and Clark hitting a series of field goals and free throws, the Bullets cut New York's lead to 48-44 at the half. | BALTIMORE | | | | NEW YORK | | | | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | | G | F | T | | G | F | T | | Marin | 7 | 7-8 | 21 | DBuschre | 7 | 6-7 | 20 | | Tresvant | 2 | 1-1 | 5 | Bradley | 8 | 4-5 | 20 | | Unseld | 4 | 0-0 | 8 | Lucas | 8 | 6-6 | 22 | | Clark | 10 | 11-13 | 31 | Frazier | 8 | 6-7 | 22 | | Chenier | 3 | 1-1 | 7 | Monroe | 4 | 1-2 | 9 | | Riordan | 6 | 7-9 | 19 | Barnett | 0 | 0-0 | 0 | | Johnson | 3 | 0-0 | 6 | Jackson | 3 | 2-2 | 8 | | Stallwth | 2 | 0-0 | 4 | Memger | 2 | 2-2 | 6 | | Totals | 37 | 27-32 | 101 | Totals | 40 | 27-31 | 107 | Baltimore .......... 19 25 30 27--101 New York .......... 27 21 27 32--107 Fouled out--None.

KEY LARGO, Fla. (IP) -- Two skin divers who say they were attacked by giant loggerhead turtles on offshore coral reefs may just have been mistaken for female turtles by lovestruck, nearsighted males, a turtle expert says. "I have never heard of an unprovoked attack on a human in 30 years of studying turtles," said Dr. Archie Carr of the University of Florida, a man whose work on turtles has made him internationally famous among scientists and laymen alike. Loggerhead turtles are an ocean-going species which can weigh as much as 500 pounds. MARJORIE MANSER suffered severe lacerations on her thigh when bitten by a loggerhead while diving for a lost anchor at Black Rocks April 25. Jim King overpowered a 250-pound loggerhead he said attacked him as he was diving on Conch Reef Wednesday. King managed to turn the turtle over on its back and drag it back to his boat. He was not injured. King and Mrs. Manser are Key Largo residents who have dived the Atlantic reefs for many years. Both said they had encountered turtles at sea many times and never before considered them aggressive. CARR SAID loggerheads were nearsighted enough they could mistake humans and even floating debris for a female turtle during the breeding season. William Hill, a U.S. Parks Department Ranger who lives on Key Largo, said an estimated 300 loggerheads live in the area. Most of them nest on Florida Bay on the west side of the Florida Keys, he said, and many cruise the offshore reefs in their hunt for food. Carr said male turtles nip the females with their beaks during courtship, "and what would just be a love-bite to a female turtle could result in horrendous injuries to a human being." ## This busy world # Millions of mice ravage Australia Millions of mice have devastated hundreds of square miles of Australian wheat fields and a government spokesman said farmers in Queensland were powerless to stop them. The plague is the worst in Queensland's history. Farmers in the Darling Downs area 100 miles west of Brisbane report damage at $3.6 million. Desperate methods of trying to control the vermin were reported. Shopkeeper John Coss of Wandoan said he wired all the shelves of his shop with low-voltage electric current and reported killing up to 10,000 mice in a day, but still they come. A Darling Downs farmer rigged up a line of bottles on the edge of a water trough. As the mice ran up the bottles to eat the cheese he put on top, the bottles tipped over into the water. The farmer said the drownings were running about 70 mice a day. Cleveland Press 5/25/72 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS... I refer you to a letter I sent you some time ago, this year... wherein I told you that I would activate UFO's in position around our earth... to issue forth SOUNDS which would make insects, birds, fish, etc., on earth DO UNUSUAL THINGS. And in another letter I warned you that Nature had turned its hand against human beings... and would attack human beings now... using all its natural forces. These two newsclippings underscore what I told you. As a matter of interest... I asked one of you to get me to Australia... and I could save the Australians from the ravaging attack of the millions of mice. I received not even an answer. So I have let the matter go to its natural ultimate conclusion. You must bear in mind... that in my opinion (and I am in an excellent position to know, absolutely) stopping the onslaught of millions of mice... would be childs play for me. (I found out what I could do when I stopped or diverted the volcanic slides. Plus some other major miracles. So... I do indeed know what I can do.) -Owens /XPKMant === Page 3 of 14 (Those 3 "thrown" games in last year's pro football playoffs... that beat the PK!) # Congressional Probe Seeks Ties Between Crime, Sports 4/30/72 WASHINGTON (AP)--Alleged organized crime ties with race tracks in Detroit, New Orleans, and the Northeast will be leadoff targets of a House probe next month on infiltration of criminal elements into professional sports, Rep. Sam Steiger said last week. The Arizona Republican said the House Select Committee on Crime hearings also will deal with the Emprise Corp., which has financial sports interests including stock in more than 30 race tracks across the country. Steiger has been charging on the House Floor for two years that Emprise has Cosa Nostra ties. Steiger said the hearings will start May 9 with testimony on alleged organized crime financial interests in the Hazel Park Race Track near Detroit, Jefferson Downs in New Orleans, race tracks in New England, upstate New York, and "a situation in New Jersey." He said witnesses will include law enforcement officers and officials of the race tracks. "These hearings will put the spotlight on the fact that organized crime has an extensive investment in sports, all of which involve potential gambling," Steiger said. He said its infiltration into professional sports "is more dangerous than into other legitimate businesses" because of the potential for fixing sporting events. Chairman Claude Pepper, D-Fla., has said the hearings will go into other major sports after horse racing (and deal with direct organized crime involvement in "ownership and management of teams, arenas, and concessions" as well as fixing of sporting events.) The hearings were tentatively planned to begin last week but a committee source said they were delayed for a trial in Los Angeles that ended last Wednesday with conviction of Emprise and six persons of conspiracy to hide out-of-state gambling interests in a Las Vegas hotel and casino. They included Anthony J. Zerelli, a major stock holder and director of the Hazel Park Racing Association and identified by the Justice Department in 1967 as a Detroit-organized crime leader, and Michael S. Polizzi also identified by the Justice Department as a Detroit-organized crime leader. Steiger has told the House that Emprise holds stock in both Hazel Park and Jefferson Downs. But Jerry M. Jacobs, president of Emprise headquartered in Buffalo, N.Y., issued a statement saying he was sure the Los Angeles conviction will be reversed on appeal, and saying the verdict was against the old Emprise co-founded by his father, not the new Emprise reorganized by himself. Emprise also owns Sportservice, which operates concessions in stadiums and theaters nationwide: several sports stadiums, and bowling alleys, and restaurants. Jacobs also owns the Cincinnati Royals Basketball team. CONTACTS.......... no doubt when I told you why my PK attack on 14 teams failed to stop the Cowboys... namely, because of three key games deliberately "thrown" by two QB's and one coach... you thought I was just alibiing. Well, I was not. I knew for a fact... through my powerful ESP brain... that Mafia-Syndicate hoods were at work manipulating these pro football games. This clipping in yesterday's paper... indicates that now powers-that-be in the government... are beginning to also realize this fact! Owens # Witnesses Listed In Probe 5/9/72 WASHINGTON (AP) -- Six alleged Mafia figures plus horse-racing officials and entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. were announced Monday among witnesses for a House probe into organized crime infiltration of professional sports. Davis's testimony will be on criminals' "effort to use him" at a racetrack in New Jersey where the singer owns a stable, said Chairman Claude Pepper, D-Fla., of the House Select Committee on Crime. Pepper and the committee's chief counsel, Joseph A. Phillips, said the hearings will start Tuesday on alleged race-fixing and organized-crime ties with 16 racetracks across the country and then go into baseball, football, basketball, and hockey. Phillips said committee investigators concluded there have been instances of race fixing "at practically every track on the Eastern seaboard and many in the West." He said the investigators are still looking into a number of professional football and basketball teams. Some players will be called, Phillips said. He said the committee will go into two instances of football players being approached to fix games but reporting the approaches to authorities. The committee will touch also on "reports of alleged bribes" of public officials. Pepper emphasized the committee would only hear testimony on the reports and would not prejudge the charges against any officials where trial is pending.

Also, am generally recognized as one of the world's greatest psychics, by experts. (See Brad Steiger's book, "What The Seers Predict For 1972".) Last Saturday, at 4 PM, the UFO intelligences with which I carry on a two-way communication...contacted me, and gave to me the complete answer to the world's nuclear question. They told me exactly how...to place into action a plan...which will make it impossible...for Russia (or any other country) to attack America with nuclear weapons. Further, the plan would make America and Russia close friends...having no fear of each other forevermore. In short...the people of the world could breathe easy for a change...knowing that nuclear war...could not happen. I had hoped in the past that the UFO intelligences would eventually give me an answer to the question of what causes cancer, and how to prevent it. But...this ingenious plan which they have just given me...is even better...since it can save hundreds of millions of lives. And...it is foolproof. They told me...to discuss the plan...only with you yourself. Absolutely no intermediaries. I am to do the same with the Russian heads of government. I will wait to hear from you on this ten days, then am instructed by the UFO creatures to contact the Russians and offer them the plan. This, incidentally, should the Russians follow through...will not be any setback to America. There is nothing in the plan...to give America or Russia an edge over the other. But if either country (or both) accepts the plan...there can never be a nuclear war. And America can never be conquered or enslaved. And Russia will no longer consider us a threat to them; nor will we consider Russia a threat to us. If this plan by the UFO creatures is ignored...as has been all else I've put forth, by this government...then the War to end all Wars will lie just before us in time, time ahead, and hundreds of millions will die a horrible death. Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 48, Cape Charles, Va. 23310 Owens === Page 8 of 14 May 30, 1972 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS... Am now embarking...on a fascinating project. One which I believe will delight you, as far as research into psi-force phenomena goes...and one easily checkable. Before going any further...let me stress...that I do not intend to harm anyone at all. Now...I am going to use some of the 150-odd different mechanisms (of which PK is only one) to strike the Cleveland-Akron, Ohio, area, with psi-force directed by my mind...and cause...effects there. Here is what to look for...in time ahead... Power blackouts there...big ones. More than the usual number of fires. All kinds of electrical disturbances. Lightning storms...with lightning striking many places there. Planes being forced down; power failure, etc. Ships sinking just offshore. Blazing hot drought. The people in the area...behaving peculiarly (more so than usual, that is). Odd animal behavior (dogs, cats, etc.) Possible epidemics. 60-90 mile-per-hour winds. Am doing this for a reason, and have cleared it with my Si's. I was badly treated during my last ten days visit there...by some people...and I think, and the Si's concur...that it would be most appropros...to demonstrate to the people of that area...that I am quite real, and that my connection with the UFO's is quite real. That my "claims" of documented miracles...are not empty claims. In short, the people there need to be taught a lesson...as only PK Men can teach a lesson. Now note: any persons there who were friendly to me, and helped me during my visit...like Mike Reineri, of WIXY radio, Alan Douglas, TV Show; Clive Thomas radio show...and so on...they know who they are...these people will not be affected while my PK attack is going on. Also, the people who wear my disc...will not be affected, either. Am setting up this psi-force attack mechanism now, today...and the power will begin to build in as days go by...and I assure you that you will see some mighty interesting things happen...in the Cleveland-Akron area! Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 9 of 14 I got furious & told George I'd hit Cleveland with PK after Clive Thomas' show, then came the blackout!!!! The Cleveland Press, Thursday, May 25 # Power failure renews tie-in A power failure affecting 35,000 Municipal Light customers in the city during the night could have been prevented by a Municipal Plant-Illuminating Co. closed switch tie-in, according to Warren D. Hinchee, city commissioner of light and power. "Under such a connection we could establish adequate backup systems to prevent trouble from becoming too widespread and prevent an interruption of service to our customers," Hinchee said today. The power outages occurred at 10 p. m. in Collinwood, the near West Side and downtown areas. It was Municipal Light's second breakdown yesterday. Power was finally restored at 3:22 a. m. to customers affected in the second outage. SERVICE WAS interrupted for nearly three hours at 5 a. m. yesterday when a blade broke on a fan that cools one of the boilers at the plant. Last night's outage was caused by the failure of a cable terminator, known as a pothead, which was providing electrical power produced by two gas turbine generators at the W. 41st St. substation, Hinchee said. The generators had been put into service during the first power failures yesterday. Their failure caused an overload which resulted in the blackout. Partial service was restored within an hour. POLICE AT THE SIXTH District Station at E. 66th St. and Utopia Ave., reported that the blackout left electrically run doors in the building to be inoperative. In the Second District Station, Fulton Rd. and Trowbridge Ave., police were using flashlights and lanterns during the outage. Radio communication was not interrupted because the station's batteries were used. # Vepco Chants For Rain Wash NORFOLK--"What we need is a good hard rain," said E. C. Baker Jr., area manager for Virginia Electric & Power Co. That--"rain and plenty of it"--is what it's going to take to rid power lines and equipment of salt deposits that have accumulated the last few days, causing scattered power failures throughout the area, the Vepco official said. The deposits, brought inland by strong northeast winds, have coated insulators and switching equipment. Bright flashes accompanied the power failures. Baker said Monday that crews have been working 12-hour shifts in an attempt to wash the deposits from equipment. Crews from Richmond, Williamsburg, and Roanoke Rapids were also called into service. To prevent electrocution, the crewmen utilize equipment emitting a fine nonconducting spray mist onto the high-voltage lines. In addition, various fire departments have lent assistance. "But the salt is still floating around in the atmosphere and reforming in some places," Baker said. He said there has been power trouble "practically everywhere" except in the downtown areas of the city. All power was lost about 2:30 a. m. Monday in Virginia Beach, Baker said, adding that power was restored in about 15 minutes. There were "wide-spread outings" in Bayside, Oceana, Fentress, and the Kempsville-Providence areas, he said. The longest reported power failure was in the Bayside area, where a burned line rendered residents powerless for about four hours. Told that The Virginian-Pilot had received reports of power failures up to 12 hours, Baker replied, "Those must be isolated incidents. We haven't received such reports." Baker said that the public, for the most part, have been "cooperative and understanding" during the situation. "Of course, we've had some people who haven't been so understanding," he added. Virginian Pilot Tue May 30, 1972 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS..........while in Cleveland, Ohio, last week, I was ridiculed on a radio show (people phoning in after my appearance on the show), then again a couple of nights later I was insulted on another radio show, Pete Franklin show, and walked off the program, sizzling mad. Now, I had discussed my hitting the Cleveland area with PK to teach it a lesson...after the Clive Thomas show. When the Pete Franklin incident happened...I was madder than anything. The very next morning after the Pete Franklin show...there was a huge POWER BLACKOUT in the downtown Cleveland area (see above) where I had appeared on radio the night before. I returned to Cape Charles, Virginia, yesterday, Monday, at 1:30 PM in the aft. Shortly thereafter Norfolk, nearby, was hit by POWER BLACKOUTS. There is no doubt whatsoever that my special brain has become so powerful...its power increasing exponentially...that strong emotion on my part, is causing effect...did, in fact, cause these power blackouts (though they are always blamed on some mechanical breakdown that people can understand.) I told this over the radio while in Cleveland, on the Mike Reineri WIXY radio show, after the Cleveland blackout...that I suspected I had been the cause of the Cleveland blackout. Then, when I returned home to Virginia...and a portion of Norfolk nearby blacked out...I knew it for sure. Owens === Page 10 of 14 Pardoned by PK Man # The Hex Is Off Squires Virginian-Pilot Staff Story The Squires have been pardoned. Ted Owens, the PK Man from Cape Charles, notified the Virginian-Pilot in a letter to sports writer Frank Vehorn that he is now "leaving the Squires alone." In a column last week Vehorn related how Owens had hexed the Squires and caused them to lose to New York in their American Basketball Association playoff series. With the Squires leading the series, 3-2, Owens became upset when the Squires used a rival "whammy expert" and indicated Owens' physic powers were not worth employing because they were intangible. Owens said he was going "one-on-one" against the Squires and the Great Kahuna and the Nets won the next two games and the series. The Squires made only 37 per cent of their shots the last game and scored only 88 points, lowest in two years. Owens said the public disclosure of his accomplishment "has saved the Squires a fate worse than death. . . . I had determined to give the Virginia Squires the 'Philadelphia Eagles' full treatment . . . which would have extended from one to three years of PK attacks." But now, Owens says, "I will leave them alone. We are quits. I've made my point and you (Vehorn) have put the point on record. Now that they know who the powerhouse psychic is in this area, they are welcome from now on to use any psychic they wish, I do not care . . . as long as my powers are not challenged by anyone in public position. And I wish them (the Squires) the best of luck from now on." For the Squires, now re-assembling their forces for next season, there hardly could be better news. __________ Virginian-Pilot May 17, 1972 __________ === Page 11 of 14 MORNING AND SUNDAY ESTABLISHED 1865 .......... NORFOLK AND PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA TELEPHONE MADISON 5-1431 NORFOLK, VIRGINIA 23501 16 May 1972 Dear Mr. Owens, I thank you both for your letter and your gracious attitude toward the Squires. There certainly was no need for you to have been concerned that I would have taken you to task for what you did to the Squires in the final two playoff games. I, too, am of the opinion the Squires acted foolishly and certainly if they had researched your career and accomplishment they would not have pressed the point by bringing in the "great kahuna." So while I was disappointed the Squires could not win, I certainly was able to appreciate your position. The fault belonged to the Squires, not to you. My regards and best wishes Frank Vehorn P.S. - I also have no sympathy with the Norfolk Sports Club. There can be no excuse for the rudeness displayed when you spoke there. I regret I was not able to attend that meeting. === Page 12 of 14 June 1, 1972 Mr. Frank Vehorn, Sports Columnist Virginian-Pilot, Norfolk, Va. Dear Mr. Vehorn: Thank you for your personal letter. It is deeply appreciated. The completely objective attitude, on the part of yourself and the Virginian-Pilot staff...toward my use of psi-force to defeat Norfolk's own team...has given me what amounts to a traumatic shock! Simply, I am not accustomed to encountering intelligence at a high level, encased in objectivity. Well... After much reflection, I've figured out...to myself, at least...what is fair. This season...I personally was responsible for the Squires losing two games, and probably the championship...because they were the hottest team I'd seen, up until I came into the picture. So next season...I will replace these two games that I took away...just for you, personally. And this is not a publicity stunt. We will keep this completely off the record if you wish. Here is how it will work, if it is your, and your paper's wish, to put my powers behind the Squires for two games. When the playoffs begin, watch how the Squires are doing. If they get into trouble, get down 2-1, or 3-1...ring me up and tell me the key game you want me to attend. Follow that up with two tickets (I always take my son with me) and $15 for transportation money. (The paper might like to back you up with the tickets and financing.) I'll go to that game (with you, if you like, sitting with Beau and I) and work the other team over...to make them miss, and help the Squires win. Then, if there is a second key game where I might be needed...I'll come running in the same fashion, if you say so. I do not successfully control every game, always...when I work on pro basketball teams. However...both this season, as well as the season before...I was 100% successful in beating the Baltimore Bullets and the Squires (and off the record, not documented, I beat the Celtics, because of a personal difference with Bill Russell...to show him what I could do.) So for two years...I haven't missed in the games I've worked to control, in pro basketball. Personally...to me, the Squires are a business, run very badly by their management...otherwise they would never have let Rick Barry, Charlie Scott and Julius Erving (who is fast approaching the genius of Earl the Pearl Monroe...if not there already) get away from them. If they'd hung on to these three...what team in the NBA or ABA could beat them? My guess...none of them could. However, to residents of Norfolk...they attach loyalty to "their" team (forgetting it's the owner's team). So, there are always different viewpoints...perhaps all with some validity. So, Mr. Vehorn...tell your Virginian-Pilot staff...that strictly as a favor to you, and to them, for your-all fairness...I'll come running to replace those two lost key games next season...should you whistle. If you don't whistle, fine; I'll not sweat it...and all is well. My regards and best wishes.......... Owene (PK Man) === Page 13 of 14 Staff Photo by J. T. McClenny Dave Twardzik Makes It Official . . . signs contract as Earl Foreman watches # Twardzik (Finally) Becomes a Squire By FRANK VEHORN Virginian-Pilot Sports Writer NORFOLK -- It took Squires owner Earl Foreman and Dave Twardzik a week to get together and a few minutes Friday to ... Twardzik, the All-American from Old Dominion University, formally signed his contract with the Squires a week after he had announced his intentions. "There were no problems," explained Twardzik. "Mr. Foreman is just a very busy man and it was a matter of getting an agreeable time between the two of us." Twardzik, a 6-1 guard, is believed to have signed a two-year, no-cut contract worth $65,000. He received a $2,500 bonus and the promise of another $2,500 should he make the ABA all-rookie team. "We are very pleased to have Dave join us," said Foreman. "He will be working with our front office, under Johnny Kerr, this summer." Twardzik was joined in the signing by ODU coach Sonny Allen. "Dave has a big adjustment to make in the pros," said Allen. "He has to make adjustment on defense and learn to play without the ball. "At ODU he controlled the ball about 90 per cent of the time for us. But I'm sure he can make whatever adjustments are necessary." Twardzik was equally as confident, but not overly so. "Some people may feel I should perform as well in the pros as I did in college," said Twardzik. "But I'm not going to let that affect my game. I've seen some who felt the pressure and I'm just going to play the best I can." Twardzik said he had been involved in fast-break offense since high school didn't expect many problems adjusting to the Squires' running game. "But there will be some tricks of the trade I'll have to pick up on defense," he noted. In three varsity seasons at Old Dominion, Twardzik averaged 20.2 points and had a record 880 assists. He also set career records for the most points scored (1660) and most free throws made (548). Individual season records included most free throws, best free throw percentage (.845) and most assists (332). Individual single game records were most free throws (24), most free throws attempted (26) and most assists (20). Twardzik was the second draft (See Twardzik, Page B6) # Frank Vehorn Virginian-Pilot Sports Writer # PK Power Struck Down Squires The PK Man has struck again. While most Virginians were fearful of what Rick Barry of John Roche would do to the Squires in the ABA playoff series, they should have been concerned with a fellow named Ted Owens who resides in Cape Charles. No doubt you have heard of Mr. Owens. By his own count he has brought about 300 miracles, documented by lawyers and scientists, and has 92 per cent accuracy for achieving his avowed missions. He performs these feats, he claims by powers of the brain. If you were at the Norfolk Sports Club some months ago perhaps you laughed at Owens. Now you, too, must share the blame for the Squires' defeat to New York. The real blame must belong to the Squires, though. Not only did the Squires spurn the assistance of the PK Man in the playoffs but they angered him by hiring a pretender, "The Great Kahuna," to put a whammy on the Nets. So while most Squires fans were feeling confident on April 30, what with the Squires holding a 3-2 edge in the series and needing only one game to win, the PK Man set out to change the Squires fortunes. In a letter to Squires vice president Johnny Keery, Owens typed: "I am notifying you, on record, that I am going one-on-one with the Squires. My object will be . . . to make the Squires lose the playoffs. I like a challenge. This is a good challenge. "Your Squires are red-hot and beating the stuffings out of the Nets. Let's see if I and my powers and my UFO intelligences can turn this around and beat the stuffings out of the Squires." ### Great Kahuna Insulted Owens Owens explained that a member of the Squires' staff had phoned him and wanted him to work for the team. But when Owens requested a fee the matter was dropped and "The Great Kahuna" brought in. "So I had to show what I could do, as a matter of pride," he said. On May 1 the Nets beat the Squires to even the series at 3-3. Owens wrote to Kerr: "Tonight I wiped out the Squires. I told you I would. Thursday night (for the deciding seventh game) I will pour my power into . . . to smash the (See Vehorn, Page B6) Ted Owens George McGinnis scored 30 points Friday night as the Indiana Pacers defeated the New York Nets, 114-108, despite Rick Barry's 44 points, to take a 2-1 lead in their ABA playoff final. The Pacers, exhorted by coach Bob Leonard between halves to "show some enthusiasm," took the lead for good at 73-71 on Roger Brown's turnaround jumper with 6:52 remaining in the third playing catch-up basketball. An all-time league playoff record crowd of 15,241 at Nassau Coliseum watched the Pacers post 10-point leads twice in the fourth quarter before Barry managed to whittle the margin with seven straight points. Barry was a one-man show in the first half as he scored 24 points on 12 field goals. Sporting a 31.5 average for the first two games of this series, Barry netted 12 points in each session before intermission. He hit on five consecutive shots early in the second period to keep New York in the game. The Pacers, trailing 52-49 with two minutes to go in the first half, scored the last five points on a pair of fouls by McGinnis, a Freddie Lewis free throw and Billy Keller's basket with three seconds left that gave them a 54-52 lead at intermission. Indiana then began going inside for the good shot and began hitting the open man consistently, while the Nets were less than efficient with their outside shooting. The Pacers held a 90-84 lead at the end of three periods, were ahead 97-87 with 9:31 to go in the game and pushed their margin to 11 points at 112-101 with two minutes left. Lewis was Indiana's second high man with 22 points and Roger Brown had 20. Billy Paultz netted 17 points for the Nets before fouling out. The fourth game of the series will be played here Monday night. # Mays Idle NEW YORK (UPI) -- Jerry Grote singled in Cleon Jones with the winning run with one out in the ninth inning Friday night as the Mets celebrated Willie Mays' return to New York with a 2-1 victory over San Francisco Giants. Grote's hit came after the Mets had loaded the bases against reliever Jerry Johnson on a walk to Jones, a single by Jim Fregosi and an intentional walk to Ed Kranepool. Mays, purchased from San Francisco on Thursday, watched from the bench despite the pleas of 44,271 fans, the largest crowd to watch a Met game this season. John Milner, greeted by a chorus of boos and a chant of "We want Willie," walked as a pinch hitter in the eighth and moved to second on a sacrifice by Bud Harrelson. # OUR BETTER HALF LOST A LITTLE WEIGHT...

Owens pointed out that one Net, John Roche, said none of the Nets had played well until the sixth game. "This was because I'd been loyal to the Squires," explained Owens. "But because of their rejection of my offer to help them on a professional basis, I switched teams." For the sixth game Owens had worked his powers by television. The seventh game, though, he came to Scope and watched as the Great Kahuna put a tripple whammy on the Nets. But Owens and the Nets prevailed. The Squires were held to their lowest output, 88 points, in two years and shot only 37 per cent from the floor. "How do you figure it. . . the shots we were taking we usually make. This time we were off just a little bit," said guard Bernie Williams. Fatty Taylor called it the worst shooting night by the Squires ever. ## Nobody Laughing at PK Now So the triumphant PK Man wrote again to Kerr: "You can tell your "Great Kahuna" he made a geniune ass out of himself. Someone should tell that poor soul that a turban and oriental dress is not worn by a 'kahuna'. The kahunas were famous witch-doctor types in the Pacific. Anyway, your Kahuna wouldn't have looked any sillier in a grass skirt. . . than he did in his turban and oriental getup. "Well, to sum it up. . . you boys saved a thousand by not hiring the PK Man. It only cost you the championship. Was it worth it? I took no pleasure in beating the Squires with my mind, just for your knowledge. It was simply. . . a job I had to do. . . to show Foreman and Company how potent intangibles can be. As a former part owner of the Eagles he (Foreman) should know." And for the members of the Sports Club, the PK Man had this message: "I seriously doubt if you were laughing when the Squires sank to the bottom, scuttled by the man you laughed at. It is barely possible, though not probable, that it might teach the jokers and cut-ups among the members some manners." And, hopefully, the Squires have learned that the Kahuna is no match for the PK Man. It's a lesson the Eagles, Colts and Bullets and others had learned previously. Maybe the PK Man will forgive before the next season. # NEW Steel Pier under new management 2nd & Atlantic Ave. outfielder Dave Marshall, sitting near the batting cage and watching Mays take his cuts. "He's happy. You can see he's happy. This is great for him, being in New York." If Mays was happy, then so were his new teammates. They all chatted animatedly with the 41-year-old superstar acquired in a trade with San Francisco Thursday. "You were my hero when I was younger," said coach Joe Pignatano, pointing a bat at Mays and laughing. "My father used to take me to see you play."

Owens (PK Man) === Page 2 of 4 June 11, 1972 Sioux Falls Pilot By JERRY MASHEK RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - The horror of the flood that had torn life out of the Black Hills didn't really strike me until dawn Saturday. It started about 8 p.m. Friday with a call from Journal photographer Don Polovich. He had heard reports of high water along Rimrock Highway in the Hisega area west of Rapid City. It began as sort of a lark. I knew it was raining hard, but no one had prepared us for the wild night-and morning-ahead. There didn't seem to be any real danger. The water from Rapid Creek was running across the road in some places on the way up, but our two pickups made it through in good shape. But it was starting to look more serious. As we headed toward Hisega, the rain really hit. We pulled onto the shoulder and watched in amazement as a small stream spilling from the hillside turned into a 4-foot-wide torrent. We turned back at this point, but were halted along with a number of other vehicles by a 3-foot wall of water spilling across the highway. We were stuck, but it seemed the water would subside in a couple of hours. Then we heard that at least one bridge was out and it would be days before traffic was moving normally again. We decided to walk back to town, shooting pictures on the way. Rapid Creek, 40 feet to our right, normally is clear and placid. But now it sounded like a freight train passing in the night. It must have been 150-feet wide in some places. We could hear people trapped in houses on the other side of the creek calling plaintively, rather than desperately, for help. It was pitch black, rain was falling sheets and all we could do was listen to the pleas. How many people were swept to their deaths in that area alone, I'll never know. About dawn we decided we'd hike toward Rapid City about three miles east. The carnage was unbelievable as we picked our way down a major Black Hills highway. Gigantic blocks of asphalt and concrete as large as the walls of a house were strewn across the roadbed. Boulders lay haphazardard and bridge structures were ripped and dangling. The smell of a world ripped apart hung in the air. It was like nothing I've ever smelled before and hope to God I never do again. Mud was everywhere. Once-beautiful homes had been obliterated. Articles from a shattered world lay scattered everywhere. Here a shoe, there a table top, beside us a crushed toy. As we slogged down the highway we came to the Cleghorn Springs fish hatchery on the outskirts of the city. The rearing ponds were under water, the offices were smashed and we could see where the creek had come out of its banks. Here and there little knots of people stared blankly at their homes - or where their homes had been. Rapid City contractor Owen Emmet gave us a short lift to where his home had been. It was still there, but it was smashed and mangled. His wife wondered aloud whether their dog was all right. Several survivors were perched on roofs and the only sounds were the soft squish of tires on mud, the occasional bark of a dog and faint, meaningless greetings of "Morning." Near once-beautiful Canyon Lake Park the smell of propane gas escaping from ruptured tanks was almost overpowering. Canyon Lake was gone. Rapid Creek rushed through a sea of mud, automobiles and home furnishings. It looked as though some insane giant had taken the palm of his hand and slapped it into the lakebed, emptying it. The dam at the lower end of the lake had literally been ripped from its stone anchors. The park was like a desolate moonscape. Giant trees were uprooted. Picnic tables, playground equipment, and the articles of everyday life cluttered the land. The beautifully manicured grass had huge gouges torn from it. A body lay in a jumble of wreckage. We hurried past. And the horror of life torn apart was the only thing on my mind. I didn't want to see any more. TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS.......... (1) another case of water attacking again! (See previous letter from me re the dam, at Man, bursting!) (2) Last week I aimed the Si's brand new psi force technique, "The Deadly Triangle", at the Cleveland, Ohio, area...whilst waiting for my xerox copies to be returned from Norfolk, to be sent out to you. Now, this South Dakota flood, "once in a hundred years" occurrence...would be the natural phenomena resulting from the Triangle attack...IF IT HAD HAPPENED AT CLEVELAND! Of course...I did not want any deaths or injuries But I tell you in all seriousness...my mind has become powerful enough to have brought this flood about. I know this for a fact...but it may take you a while to realize it, as fact. The question in my mind is: since I directed the Triangle mentally at Cleveland, without consulting a map...could there have been a natural human error on my part, geographically? (Geography is one of my poorest subjects.) Owens PK Man PS...many of you can refer back to my files of years past...and dig out a letter I sent to you... where I had PK'd Florida...and an airplane crashed weirdly (believe it was an astronaut)...and the newspaper clipping said "It seemed as if a giant hand had pushed the plane straight down into the ground." Then, when I PK'd Nevada...another weird plane crash involving a nuclear scientist...and again the news clipping said "it seemed as if a giant hand had slammed the plane down into the lake." Now read the clipping here, and the reference once again to a "giant hand." === Page 3 of 4 June 1, 1972 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS.......... aside and apart...from psi-force phenomena...thought you would be interested in this. on Jan. 21, 1972, I wrote J. Edgar Hoover, FBI...sending copy of the attached letter, which is self-explanatory. Note: I recommended that the dummy stack of $100 bills (or whatever amount) be time-set to go off in three minutes. While in Cleveland last week, May 19, 1972...I found this item below in the newspaper. The dummy stack of bills idea had been used...along with the three-minute timing suggestion. I had never heard from the FBI in answer to my letter. But it is interesting, yes? Owens $ξ$ PK Man 5/19/72 **Tear Jerker** KENNETH CAIN coolly grabbed a bundle of five-dollar bills from the counter at the Trust Company of Georgia's Bibb County branch, stuffed it down his trousers and ran off. Then he found the bills were too hot to handle. Three minutes later, when Cain was in a cafe ordering a meal, tear gas started pouring down his trouser legs. The bundle of bills was booby trapped to go off when tampered with. Other people in the cafe stampeded for the street, coughing and sputtering. A passing policeman dashed in, ripped off Cain's smoking trousers, wrapped him in a table cloth and took him into custody. All the stolen money was recovered. === Page 4 of 4 January 21, 1972 Mr. J. Edgar Hoover Federal Bureau of Investigation Dear Mr. Hoover: My 9 year old boy and I were "brainstorming" on how banks could foil bank robberies, and came up with the following plan: Tellers of banks would be given, by the FBI, ten stacks of counterfeit $100 bills. (Just on top and bottom. Say 20 bills to a stack; the center bills could be blank green, but the stack would be sealed so that the robber wouldn't have time to break the seal and check the stack. It is assumed anyway, that the robber would be in an abnormal state of mind...watching for guards, cameras, etc., hence would simply sweep the counterfeit stacks into a briefcase, or bag.) Then: (1) One of the stacks of bills would contain a signaling device in the center, a dummy stack...and the teller would simply slide a button forward on the stack to activate it. From that moment on...the robber could be tracked inside the city with special equipment to coordinate the signals on the signaling device, thus locating the robber/s very easily. Or (2) one of the dummy stacks could have a timing device, again by a button slid forward by the teller...with an explosive inside it. The robber would scoop the stacks of 100's into a bag...run out to his car...and three minutes later the car would have a powerful explosive charge inside it go off. I made inquiry of Mr. Lusk of the Virginia National Bank in Cape Charles, Virginia, as to what he thought of the explosive device...and he said that it could possibly be a danger to have in the bank. That, of course, would be up to the FBI to evaluate. But I believe that the idea of the dummy stacks of 100's, with the signaling device, might work admirably. The robber/s would be watching the tellers...on guard against their pushing floor pedals, buttons, etc., but the psychology of this plan is...they would not suspect the very money they were stealing! Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 48, Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 My idea... works again!! Thursday, June 8, 1972 # How to Make a Bandit Cry FLINT, Mich. (AP)--A tear-gas bomb stuffed into a robber's sack along with $1,100 is credited with bringing about his capture only a bit more than 3½ minutes after a lone bandit fled from a West Side branch of Genesee Merchants Bank & Trust Co. The man, not immediately identified by police, was run down by a plant security guard after he abandoned the tear-gas fog that enveloped the interior of his getaway car six blocks from the bank. Teller Judy Yonan, 24, said a man walked up to her window and demanded money. She said she gave him $1,100 in a bag into which she also slipped the tear-gas bomb, set to go off in 3½ minutes. Grabbing the bag, the robber fled, jumped into a car, and sped off. Six blocks later Judy's bomb exploded. Clarence Beuerle, a retired Michigan State Police sergeant, suspected that something was wrong and gave chase. He soon overhauled the near-blinded man, who had abandoned the car. SCIENTISTS: As you can see from this file...my idea has been put into action...and thus far (at least as has been published) it has quickly, easily and safely...solved two bank robberies...both within the three-minute time span I recommended to the FBI.

Physicians were optimistic he would be back in action in about a month. The 31-year-old athlete completed a series of stretching exercises and was throwing the football in a non-contact drill when he complained of feeling ill. He was taken to Long Beach Community Hospital, where a team of physicians prepared for possible surgery. Surgery later was ruled out, however, and doctors decided to treat the lung by inserting a tube through Gabriel's nose. Dr. Jules Resinski, head of the team of physicians, said the tube would remain in place until Wednesday, when it was probable the 11-year National Football Conference veteran would be released from the hospital. Resinski said Gabriel should be able to begin running in about a week, but he ruled out any contact scrimmage for two to three weeks. He said the Rams' star should be able to return to his normal game inside a month. The quarterback had been throwing in the first drill for the veteran players at Long Beach State College when he told trainer Cash Birdwell: "I don't think I can practice any longer. I can't breathe." Directed to lie down, Gabriel didn't improve and was taken to Long Beach Community Hospital, about a mile away. It was first reported he underwent surgery, but later the report was that he went to surgery for insertion of the tube to reinflate the damaged lung. Although Gabriel has suffered many injuries in his long football career, he has not had a lung problem previously. Two years ago he suffered rib damage, but on the opposite side of his chest. Last Thursday, Carroll Rosenbloom, former owner of the Baltimore Colts, announced acquisition of the Rams in a complicated deal in which two Midwesterners bought the Los Angeles Franchise and then traded it for Baltimore. Rosenbloom's expressed hopes for a title were largely based on Gabriel's quarterbacking. Without the 6-foot-4 passer, the Rams must depend on reserves Jerry Rhome and John Walton. They open their preseason schedule Aug. 4 against the Cleveland Browns at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Gabriel, a collegiate star at North Carolina State, has been the No. 1 Rams quarterback since 1965. His Rams records (See Gabriel, Page B6) ROMAN GABRIEL .......... collapsed lung # Gabriel May Return Soon ## Continued include 1,540 completions in 2,990 passes attempts for 20,196 yards and 142 touchdowns. His best season was 1969 when he was honored as the NFL Most Valuable player in the NFL. After the 1970 season, he underwent knee and elbow surgery and last December repeat-ed surgery on the right knee for ligament damage. Doctors reported the lung was between 60 and 70 per cent collapsed. The tube was inserted to create negative pressure for reinflation. Coach Tommy Prothro termed the loss a "severe blow," but was heartened by the later optimistic reports indicating the quarterback might be available for the start of the regular NFL season. TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS: If this all seems familiar...it is. You will recall that I wrote Carroll Rosenbloom before...and he ignored me...and Unitas came down with a crash. Well, just a few weeks ago I wrote Carroll Rosenbloom at his Colts headquarters that he'd better hire me...because I can control the Rams easier than I can the Colts. I didn't hear from him...so...Roman Gabriel comes down with a crash! Absolutely parallel happenings! You can argue "coincidence" once with Unitas...but twice, with Gabriel? Fer...git it! Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 3 of 7 June 30, 1972 Mr. Carroll Rosenbloom Baltimore Colts Dear Carroll: Just read that you've swapped the Colts for the L.A. Rams. Well, Carroll...I've got bad news for you. It is much easier for me, from a technical standpoint...to wreck the Rams...than it is for me to stop the Colts. So you are acquiring a team...that I will stop like it has run into a stone wall, this coming season. Unless you hire my services, of course. In which case...I will "turn to" and go all out to help your Rams to win. Either way, Carroll...it is entirely up to you. If there's no answer...I will take the Rams and the Colts both...apart...this coming pro season. They will get nowhere. Guaranteed. If you call me, and arrange a meeting...then hire me...it's a different ball game. Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 48, Cape Charles, Va. 23310 Owens === Page 4 of 7 July 17, 1972 Dear Otto: I do not like to mix... a scientific report... with a non-scientific report, but in this case I think it could be pertinent. You now know... that for the first time in ten years, of all of my amazing miracles... I have performed on a radar installation - a scientific instrument linked up with computers... with government experts right there. One sitting at my elbow at all times. Not only did I control the radar installation (a huge affair... so big we had to take an elevator way up to the top)... but the residual power from the demonstration knocked down four airplanes... three Navy Phantoms and one Navy experimental plane worth $16 million... PLUS set fire to the aircraft carrier Forrestal. Right. Now what I want to tell you is this: Shortly before all of this came about... I had a vivid dream. I was standing in front of some houses with my brother, Bill. Suddenly up in the sky I saw an airplane, large commercial passenger plane, on fire... and diving toward us. It crashed in the next block. I ran toward the scene, telling Bill to take care of a man I saw fall out of the plane. He did so, and I went on to the crash itself. I tore my way in through the debris... and found the passengers huddled inside, moaning and groaning. One passenger looked up at me and said: "We lost five." Then I woke up. I wrote this down in my diary. It was so markedly vivid. Then, shortly afterward, I was sitting watching TV in the afternoon... when the SI's communicated and told me to call Bill Richards, the govt. radar expert. And I did so... and the rest is history. Point: At the radar installation when I "performed" there were two witnesses, Bill Richards and Harvey Caldwell. At the plane crash in my dream there were two witnesses also, me and my brother Bill. As a result of the radar demo there were five losses... four planes crashed and an aircraft carrier burned for nine hours like a roaring furnace. In my dream a passenger told me 'they'd lost five'. And of course, as in my dream... the major feature of my radar demo... turned out to be planes crashing... four in five days! Am not trying to blend these things. One is factual... the other is just a dream. But they tally so well... I wanted to point it out. I have a theory... that the dream... was SI programming! I.e., encapsulated in the dream were subliminal instructions on how to proceed... which I then followed out at the proper time by calling Bill Richards. You follow? Best.... Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 5 of 7 # Forrestal's 'Flag Country' Burns By JOHN STEVENSON Virginian-Pilot Staff Writer NORFOLK -- A fire burned for almost nine hours Monday aboard the aircraft carrier Forrestal at Norfolk Naval Station's Pier 12, damaging a berthing compartment, dining area, and galley in the flag section of the ship. Several adjacent areas, including a plotting room for combat information, were believed damaged by the blaze of undetermined origin. There were no reported injuries. The ship had no aircraft aboard. The blaze was the third fire within several hours aboard the Forrestal, scheduled to sail for the Mediterranean late this month to relieve the Norfolk-based carrier John F. Kennedy. The earlier fires damaged a mattress and a teletype machine. Lt. (j.g.) Donald Tomlin, the ship's public affairs officer, said that the first blaze apparently was caused by a careless smoker and the second broke out when a light on the teletype machine ignited the machine's paper wrapper. Tomlin said that the three blazes, which occurred in widely separated areas of the carrier, "absolutely" were not related. Arson has been ruled out in the first two fires, but the cause of the large blaze is being investigated, he said. The fire in flag country, as the admirals' section of a ship is called, was considered unusual by fire fighters because no combustibles were stored there and no one should have been in that portion of the Forrestal Monday. The section was to have remained unoccupied until later this month, when Rear Adm. J. T. Moorer was scheduled to report aboard for the Mediterranean deployment. Flag country on the Forrestal is between the hangar deck ceiling and the ship's flight deck. The area is about midway between the carrier's navigation island and her bow. # The Virginian-Pilot V Tuesday, July 11, 1972 Section B An inspection by newsmen revealed no discernible damage to the flight deck's large steel plates, which must withstand the tremendous pressure generated by jet aircraft landing and taking off. However, there was unconfirmed speculation Monday that the deck, whose underside was subjected to intense heat for hours, may have been weakened to the point that the Forrestal's Mediterranean deployment will have to be postponed. Official comment was guarded. "There's absolutely no way to speculate on possible operational delays," Tomlin said. "We have no experience in judging damage in a fire like this because we've never had one in these spaces before." If the Forrestal's departure is delayed, the Kennedy' Mediterranean cruise probably would have to be extended for the third time. Two ships that were scheduled to relieve the Kennedy this spring, the Florida-based Saratoga and Norfolk-based America, were diverted to Vietnam. The largest Forrestal fire Monday was reported about 2:53 a.m. by a crewman who discovered smoke in a starboard passageway. "There was an unbelievable amount of smoke up there," Tomlin said. "We had myself and a few other people gagging and nauseated with smoke throughout the night." The officer added that the fire "ruined a hell of a lot of uniforms. We just had almost everybody on the ship pitching in, rigging hoses, and getting the smoke out. "We got the fastest response out of our damage control party that I've seen. It was amazing." Tomlin said that electrical power from the ship's quarterdeck to the after portion of the island was shut off within three minutes, and ventilation systems were closed to prevent smoke from filtering through the vessel. Besides the Forrestal's damage controlmen and other crewmen, five units from the Norfolk Naval Station Fire Department joined in fighting the blaze. Fire fighters poured water into the burning compartments from adjacent passageways. Ten hoses poured water onto the hangar deck ceiling to cool the burning area from beneath, and additional hoses were used to cool the flight deck above flag country. Countless crewmen used brooms to push excess water over the Forrestal's side. The fire still was burning heavily at 10 a.m. Tomlin said at 10:25 a.m. that it had been impossible, minutes earlier, for firemen to see their own hands in the smoke-filled compartments, or to enter the heart of the burning area even with oxygen breathing apparatus. Smoke or flames were not visible outside the damaged compartments at any time, however. As firefighters began to secure their equipment about noon, one crewman with a red cross on his white helmet sat in the hangar deck with head bent and hands crossed in an attitude of prayer. Others stood around drinking coffee and talking. The intensity of the just-extinguished blaze was indicated by the number of spent oxygen canisters that filled two large trash cans and spilled over onto the Forrestal's flight deck. It was the Forrestal that experienced the worst ship fire since World War II five years ago this month in the Gulf of Tonkin. That blaze killed 134 crewmen. TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS: **Append this further startling victim to the amazing radar case I just sent you.** My "PK" mechanisms...planted in the Chesapeake Bay area...now have knocked down four airplanes, and knocked out the aircraft carrier Forrestal (temporarily, at least). I told Bill that ships and planes would not be safe in this area...also the Si's told me to tell Bill (which I did) to tell the government to keep all ships and airplanes out of this area for thirty (30) days. Well...I guess the Forrestal was betting that its armament and guns...gave it immunity to the PK power now prowling the Bay area. Ha! Poor Forrestal. Now it knows better. Owens (PK Man) === Page 6 of 7 Lightning Bolt Kills Man in Park A 23-year-old Curtis Bay man was killed Friday after being struck by a bolt of lightning while walking through Bay-Brook Park during a severe late afternoon thunderstorm. Stanley Holmes Jr. of the 3700 block Pascal St. was pronounced dead on arrival at South Baltimore County General Hospital about 4 p.m. A witness, Larry Squires, 13, of the 1300 block Tompkins St., told police he was looking out the window when he saw Holmes walking through the park, located between Curtis Bay and Brooklyn. The youth said that Holmes "flew through the air and seemed to explode." Another witness, Sidney Thompson, 38, of the same block, said he saw Holmes' legs buckle and then he flew about three feet through the air. Police found Holmes lying face down in the field, the ground around him torn open. Police said the man's clothes were ripped off, and some pieces of his clothing were found about 80 feet away. (Handwritten note: Chesapeake Bay area! News American, Baltimore, 7/1/72) TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS.......... I told Bill, the radar man, that lightning would attack the Bay area following my radar screen experiment (and explained that lightning is my trademark, to him at the time).......... and as you can see...it did strike. As I told Bill would happen...storms came; lightning struck; and planes rained down in the Bay area...following the radar screen demonstration. What is really frightening is...I didn't use my worst, strongest powers...the Deadly Triangle. Considering what did happen...I shudder to think if I'd gone all out with my mental forces. What saddens me terribly...is the loss of lives following that radar screen experiment. But neither Bill nor I could foresee it during the experiment. It only dawned on me...in the moments after we'd finished the experiment...what could happen in the Bay area as a result of unleashing such horrendous psi-force there, that Monday night. Bill, also, is horrified and saddened over the loss of life. But it is important to report it, all, in detail... for scientific, objective study. You scientists can learn more about me, my mind, and the UFO's...during that two-hour radar screen demonstration, and what followed afterward...than you can learn about the whole ten years of my work which preceded it. Owens (PK Man) === Page 7 of 7 Scientists' Warnings 7/23/72 # Is Man Modifying the Global Climate? Cleve. Plain Dealer From First Page the effects man is having on the global environment. The weather is cursed by those disturbed by it. Yet to survive, we all must learn to live with it. Perhaps it is the most talked-about subject in the world. Extreme weather conditions, such as heat waves or long wet spells, are often most aggravating in cities. When it is hot and muggy, pollutants in the air help to make the weather quite unbearable. When it rains, it rains dirt -- pollutants washed from the sky. And when it is calm, pollutants build up to dangerous levels as they have in parts of the nation this past week. Whenever extreme weather conditions occur, complaints begin immediately that the cause is atomic bombs, or high-flying jet planes, or cloud-seeding experiments thousands of miles away or even astronauts walking on the moon 230,000 miles out. THIS OFTEN IS coupled with concern that the isolated quirks in the weather may be forewarnings of great climatic upheavals that could change human living patterns dramatically. Atmospheric scientists immediately discard these notions. "The only dependable thing about the weather is that it is always changing," said Dr. Jerome Namais, research meteorologist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, Calif., and former head of the National Weather Service's long-range forecasting office. Although temporary changes will occur in large areas, no massive changes can be expected on a global scale, he told The Plain Dealer. "One problem when talking about the weather is that people's memories are not always as good as they think they are," said Dr. Louis J. Battan, professor of atmospheric sciences, University of Arizona, Tucson. When one looks at records over long period of time, it often turns out that the good old days were not really much different from what they are now, Battan said. Even in the good old days there were hot spells, cold spells and wet spells. LAST MONTH the major complaint in the Cleveland area was the amount of rainfall. And now it's the heat. But even the rainfall, which measured much above average mainly because of Hurricane Agnes, was not a record for June. The record was in 1902, when 9.77 inches of rain was recorded. This year the level for June was 9.06 inches, according to meteorologist at the weather service's forecast office here. The rain, of course, created many problems here. It washed out picnics and flooded basements. It reduced growth of some crops, especially corn, which thrives on sunlight. It helped raise lake levels, too. Although lake levels are now above normal, they were higher in 1969 and the record goes back to 1952, according to the Army Corps of Engineers office here. While Cleveland received abnormally high amounts of rain in June, rainfall in Cincinnati and other Ohio cities was below normal. The current heat wave also is short of any record. ONE OF THE main indicators of weather patterns is the jet stream -- the high velocity westerly winds ranging between 30,000 and 40,000 feet in altitude -- according to Namais. Storms are directly related to the path the jet stream takes. As the path varies, so does surface weather. In the 1950s the eastern part of the country had relatively warm winter weather, while the western half had colder weather than normal, Namais said. He suggested that this might have been associated with the movement of the jet stream, which dipped south over the western part of the country and then north over the east, taking the warmer southern air with it. In the 1960s the jet stream shifted, he said, bringing colder than normal winter weather to the east. The pattern that was noticed in the 1950s may be coming back. Last winter was a relatively mild one in the east, Namais said, and it could mean another shift in the jet stream for a few years. Although he is unwilling as yet to predict that eastern states can expect milder winters for the next few years, he admits it is a possibility. Many meteorologists believe man already has influenced the climate somewhat and that the problem will get worse. Others question whether any effect have been noticed as yet. But all suggest that a close look should be taken at the situation. Most scientists readily admit that the climate in and around large cities already has undergone changes. MASSES OF concrete retain heat and buildings slow down the winds, Dr. William W. Kellogg of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colo., said. Cities on the average have a temperature of about 1 to 1½ degrees higher than the surrounding countryside, according to the 1970 report of the President's Council on Environmental Quality. In winter months, the effect may be an increase of 2 or 3 degrees, the report stated. While wind speed may average about 20% to 30% lower, rainfall may be 5% to 10% more than the rural surroundings, the report added. There also is increasing concern that as dust particles generated in a city are blown toward suburban areas, water vapor may condense on the particles, causing more rain downwind of the city, Kellogg said. A study of such effects is now under way in the St. Louis area. One of Kellogg's major concerns is that increasing generation of heat from power plants, industries, motor vehicles and other sources may affect the world's climate in the future. This massive release of heat energy could cause a continuous warming of the atmosphere, eventually melting ice floes, he said. This could take centuries to happen, it could result in the inundation of the earth's coastal cities, he added. CLIMATIC changes could come in other ways, too. The burning of coal and other fuels has helped to increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide, considered to be harmless, may in fact be helping to raise the temperature at the earth's surface. Carbon dioxide absorbs the sun's radiation but blocks out the long-wave rays emitted from the earth's surface. Thus, it creates a kind of "greenhouse" effect by retaining heat energy that would otherwise bounce off into space. At the same time, other scientists have contended that by increasing the amount of dust particles in the atmosphere some of the sun's rays have been blocked, thus decreasing the earth's temperature. In the late 19th century the earth's temperature began to climb slowly. By 1940 it was about 1.1 degree Fahrenheit higher than it was in 1890, according to the Council on Environmental Quality. But since 1940 the temperature has cooled off about ½ degree. A drop of about 7 degrees would be enough to trigger a new ice age, according to the Council on Environmental Quality. WILL THERE be a global frost or flood? No one seems to know for sure right now. In any event, either occurrence probably would come far beyond our lifetimes. At present, the heating and cooling effects may be balancing one another. But as clean air laws bring about a reduction in particles in the air, the warming effect may begin to dominate.

This incredible "attack" on earth...by sun-storms...an "unexpected series of solar phenomena that a scientist at Boulder, Colo., said was sort of like getting snow in Atlanta in July"...WAS CAUSED BY ME. Here's how it happened; as I was driving back from Cleveland, Ohio, some months ago, I was furious over how things had turned out. My best friend, George Delaven, had dropped about three thousand dollars on the Ohio trip... because the Ohio people had been mainly hostile and unfriendly. George and I even had to walk off of one radio show... because of the radio host's nestiness. All right...as I drove back, the Si's communicated with me...and told me to use the same four giant UFO's at the corner of the earth that I use to cause earthquakes, and to make insectes etc. go wild on earth...they told me to use the "Emmy-Emma" UFO group to deflect the sun's rays onto earth... aimed at Cleveland, Ohio! So I followed their instructions, along with the Triangle technique. What followed...was first Hurricane Agnes...which nearly drowned out the East Coast (it reached for Cleveland, but only got as far as Pittsburgh.) Then...a searing blast of heat that attacked the entire East Coast... INCLUDING CLEVELAND-AKRON. In Cleveland sidewalks buckled from the heat...people went crazy, did crazy things...fires started all over (I have all of this documented, and will send it to you as soon as I can afford the huge xeroxing job it will take.) But the point I am making is...THEN FOLLOWED THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND "snow in July" attack from the sun onto the earth! The Si technique...had me picture the four giant UFO's in my mind...each one deflecting, like a mirror, the sun's rays down onto the earth, converging on Cleveland, Ohio. What then followed...was an unprecedented, unheard of, attack by the sun on the earth! Cause and effect...the pattern that has persistently followed all through my demonstrations. My mental cause...then the effect following, shown, observed, physically, for actual proof! I told several people BEFORE the sun attacked earth...what I was doing to attack earth with sun's rays...and will send you a xerox'd signed statement to that effect as soon as I can get one and can afford to get it xerox'd. If any of you want a further demonstration of this attack from the sun...I will be glad to repeat it for you. (A little rough on the earth, but perhaps worth it...from a scientific standpoint.) I may do it anyway...to satisfy my own knowledge. Then I may experiment with the moon. If any of you want in on this, let me know. Owens *Pete Franklin Radio Show === Page 2 of 12 Aug. 1, 1972 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS: Tonight... I am utterly disgusted. Disgusted with the American way... with the American government... and with you scientists. As you perhaps know... I have performed several hundred miracles... documented. The latest miracle... was to control an FAA radar installation, producing 25-50 UFO's on the radar screen... knocking down four planes, setting fire to an aircraft carrier... and so on. And I have the notarized signature of a government radar expert who sat next to me while I did it. But tonight... I tried for an hour... to telephone Dr. Hynek and Dr. Fogel... to report two new miracles that I was going to perform with UFO help... and lo and behold... Drs. Hynek and Fogel were "not in to me." There have been half a dozen times... when I had invaluable information to give the U.S. government... and tried to phone the CIA or the Secret Service... and they were "not in to me" either. So the government didn't get the info. Well... I have only one thing to say. You all are either idiots... or I am an idiot. It is one way or the other. And judging from my successful record... it is not I who is the idiot. I called Dr. Hynek the night before the Apollo flight... and told him what I would do. And I did it. I told the two government experts what I would do on my recent radar installation experiment... and I did it. If this is the work of a "crackpot" or an idiot, so be it. But facts be facts. I did it. Tonight... you had two more wonderful miracles which you could have witnessed. But because you were "out to me"... you don't get the miracles. How damn stupid can the U.S. government, and the scientists, be? Show me a human, or a human mind, like mine, anywhere in the world. Then explain to me why... you would not have a "hot line" to me, at any time of the day, or the night? Science? I laugh! What science?

I wrote you on November 12, 1971...quite a bit ago...and told you that "my demonstration will be...in the skies and heavens overlooking our earth...and even in outer space beyond our earth." You'd better dig that up, and read it in full. Better yet...I'll xerox it and enclose a copy for you. It has taken this long...for my powers to get this done (space-time in psi-force is different than in our space-time continuum.) Now I would assume that from here-on...planes might be in danger, and the water attack that I write of...might be even more dangerous even than it has been (Hurricane Agnes; Man, West Virginia; floods in South Dakota, etc.) (Not to mention the worst typhoon in the history of the Philippines.) So here it is. The power I "sent up" in 1971...has just arrived! Owens 8/9/72 King-Pilot Like Snow in July A closeup of the sun shows a sunspot with a diameter of 62,400 miles.

Dear Ted: Since I wrote on July 14th asking you for rain we have had five helpful rains, enough to bring crops to maturity. I'm sure some of these rains were brought by you and the S.I.'s. I wish to thank you very much for what you have done. It is much appreciated. Sincerely yours, David Watson. === Page 5 of 12 CONTACTS Friday, Aug. 18, 1972 Dear Otto: Your confirmation arrived...and I thank you deeply, in appreciation. I had thought, since it wasn't in writing, but verbal over the phone...it had skipped your mind. But I remembered you said that you remembered...so evidently not. At any rate, I really appreciate your statement of fact. Now, I note on it, that you state it was my suggestion...that I can "control the sun" with my mind. This is absolutely true, although it sounds ridiculous on the face of it. But I base this on fact. Let me show you. Get out the Apollo file I sent you, the last flight where I called Dr. Hynek the day before the flight...told him I was hitting the flight with "PK". Now, flip through the file to the page where there is a small newsclip at the top dated April 29, 1972. On this page I wrote: "Note the sentence: "the astronauts were exposed to radiation from the FIRST SOLAR FLARE ever to occur during a manned moon mission." (1) I hit this craft with PK...and it in turn was hit with a "solar flare." Now, look at the enclosed xerox file...showing the recent attack of SOLAR FLARES upon this earth. But previous to the attack...I had HIT THIS EARTH (Cleveland, Ohio) with PK. (2) I hit this earth with PK...and it in turn was hit with "solar flares." If this isn't just more than simple coincidence, I'll eat my chapeau. Now...as to my controlling the sun. Assuming my judgement of above facts is correct...i.e., I hit something with PK (a new method, actually...one of my now over 150 methods) and the sun in turn hits my same target with solar flares. Thus, I am controlling it, albeit obliquely. You see? Cause and effect, Otto. And one of these days am going to utilize the moon's rays (full moon) in a like experiment. Just haven't settled on a target yet. Best...and thanks once more.... Ted Owens (PK Man) === Page 6 of 12 Dr Sprinkle August 31, 1972 Dear Dr. Hynek: Re the recent file I sent to you...documented file whereby I actually "controlled" the city of Cleveland, Ohio, with my mind...for a week (just as I had previously "controlled" an FAA radar installation here on this peninsula with my mind, also documented.) I'd like to point out to you certain facts which would absolutely indicate that what happened to Cleveland, Ohio, could be no accident, nor a coincidence...not even precognition working. It had to be my mental attack. First...remember, I sent you a specific list WELL BEFORE Cleveland had its week of horror. This list indicated the different and many things I would DO to Cleveland. Following which, most of the conditions I had set forth...actually happened to Cleveland. Now, the very VARIETY of things I'd listed...would, or should, I think, preclude "coincidence"...i.e., that the blinding heat, lightning attacks, nutty people phoning up City Hall, and so on...might just happen, as sort of a coincidence. One of my set conditions might have happened coincidentally, perhaps...but not all the things that happened! I said I'd cause terrible heat...so Cleveland had heat so hot the sidewalks buckled and fell apart. I said I'd cause lightning to attack...so lightning hit and set afire a city bus with a load of people on it, and lightning hit various people also. I said I'd cause people to do strange things...so you saw the newsclip for yourself stating that many people called the City Hall, talking about hearing "strange voices" and "voices from UFO's" and being secret agents, etc. I can do no better, ever, to prove my reality as half-Si, than these last two demonstrations, Radar and Cleveland. I said specifically what I was going to do...in advance...and then did it. In Radar, I had government experts present, and worked on scientific apparatus. On Cleveland, you and the other scientists were notified well in advance...what I was going to do...before I did it to Cleveland, and it happened. Tell me, how much more could you want, in the way of absolute, concrete proof...that I am half-Si...that my mind has been altered to produce effects this world has never seen? In closing...there is no limit...to what I can produce...with my powers. As easily as I can control a radar installation, I can control Cleveland, a huge city. As easily as I can control Cleveland...I could control a State. As easily as I could control a State, I could control a country...even a group of countries. I realize that sounds like a full-blown paranoid statement...but how many paranoids that you know...can produce actual, documented cause & effect miracles to back up their "delusions of grandeur"?

(AP)--City health department crews battled invading grasshoppers Monday that blanketed Midland Sunday night, forcing cancellation of the Amarillo-Texas League baseball game. "There were millions of them," sportswriter Bob Dillon of the Midland Reporter-Telegram said. Dillon was in the stadium press box when the grasshoppers, some three inches long, swarmed the playing field and the stands during the first inning of the second game. Women screamed, players swung their bats and fans clawed at the insects covering the playing field, the stands and the mercury vapor lights. "I've never seen anything like it," Dillon said. "The umpires finally called the game off. The lights were turned off and as we walked out of the stadium the ground was just thick with them." Health Department officials said a cool front that pushed into the area early in the evening might have brought the invasion. "No one here seems to remember anything like it," a health official said. "The grasshoppers are still over town, and we have crews out there spraying in the downtown section trying to get rid of them." Virginian-Pilot TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS.......... you can add this account to the other freakish rodent and insect infestations I have caused around the world...and called in advance in a previous letter to you. Interesting here...is that the writer said "A Plague On You." As you know...I have PK'd Texas and Nevada, which is to say...I've put into action "a plague on Texas and Nevada"...with psi force. And have just added Ohio, too. This will not affect the disc-people. It is being done...as a demonstration, which is necessary at this point in time.

This is claimed in a letter to the editor of The Chronicle from an Innisfail woman, Mrs. Winifred Mossop. "I don't want you to toss aside this suggestion as a crackpot, as it's for real," Mrs. Mossop writes. "And since I was once farming in your district and know what crop loss means, I think anything is worth trying once." Mrs. Mossop said she had spoken to the man, Ted Owens, known as "P.K." or the "flying saucer missionary," by phone at Cape Charles, Virginia. The call, with two extensions, cost her $17. "He said that if any farmer in Australia would pay his return fare, he would guarantee to get rid of the mice in a day," Mrs. Mossop says. Mr. Owens gets his miracle working power, according to Mrs. Mossop, from Unidentified Flying Objects. He believes U.F.O.s are here to help us, and to stop man from wiping out earth. Quoting the American Saga magazine as her source of information, Mrs. Mossop says Ted Owen:-- * Warned the Weather Bureau that U.F.O.s would work up three hurricanes simultaneously. Beulah, Chloe and Doris faithfully showed up on the same week-end in June 1967 and smashed their way into Florida. * Worked up a lightning storm over Philadelphia on a specified night in 1966. * Predicted the explosion of a French submarine Euridice in the Mediterranean with the loss of 60 lives; and * Saved a corn crop by sending rain.

This is claimed in a letter from an Innisfail woman, Mrs Winifred Mossop. Mrs Mossop says she had spoken to the man, Ted Owens, known as "PK" or the "Flying Saucer Missionary", by phone at Cape Charles in Virginia. The call, with two extensions, cost her $17. "He said that if any farmer in Australia would pay his return fare he would guarantee to get rid of the mice in one day," Mrs Mossop says. Mr Owens gets his miracle-working power, according to Mrs Mossop, from unidentified flying objects. He believes UFOs are here to help us and stop man from wiping out earth. "He said if all the farmers put a little each towards his fare, he will do them a good deed." ---------- CONTACTS THESE ARTICLES APPEARED RECENTLY IN THE AUSTRALIAN NEWSPAPERS.

Shore Bank of $52,000 ## 2 Forced Into Vault By Gunman KELLER--Four men, one of whom held a pistol, robbed United Virginia Bank-Seaboard National of about $52,700 here Wednesday, a bank spokesman said. Cashier George Cavish said the money was taken from a vault into which he and a teller were forced and from drawers in the bank. He said the pistol-wielding man, who was "very nervous," demanded, "Do as you're told and you won't get hurt." He said the man's hand was shaking and "he kind of pulled the trigger back" as Cavish and the teller were ordered into the vault. He said the man, about 5 feet 7 and 160 pounds, appeared to be in his late 30s and was accompanied by two younger men. A fourth man waited in a car outside the bank, witnesses said. All are black. Cavish and Teller Mrs. Laura Belle Taylor were forced into the vault while the men made their escape. The door was shut on them but did not lock, Cavish said. Fern Ward, a secretary to an attorney who has an office nearby, said she saw three men carrying three bags leave the bank in a hurry. Bank officials said a camera inside the bank was activated during the robbery, but FBI agents said not all the men were photographed. Virginia Police said a car matching the description of the one believed used in the getaway was found in the Bobtown area of Pungoteague, five miles west of here. Mrs. Ward said the car bore New York license plates. The car pulled up in front of the bank about 10:30 a.m., Mrs. Ward said, and the three men walked "leisurely into the bank," leaving the fourth behind the wheel. Mrs. Taylor said she greeted the men when they came in. One pulled a pistol, she said, and told her it was a robbery. Cavish said he and Mrs. Taylor were the only people in the bank at the time of the robbery and they were forced into the vault. They waited inside the vault until they believed the robbers had left, he said. Then they summoned help. Mrs. Ward said the bank alarm, which sounded when the men were inside, had previously malfunctioned, and she started toward the bank to tell employees of the sounding alarm. Her boss stopped her. "Things lookd suspicious," she said she was told. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN August 10, 1972 Ted Owens, known as "PK Man", who lives here in Cape Charles on the Eastern Shore, stopped by the State Liquor Store in which I work yesterday morning, about 10 a.m. (Wednesday, August 9, 1972)...and informed me that his brain had picked up a plan by bank robbers to rob a bank, or a liquor store, right away...and that we had better be ready for them at our store. Be on the alert. He also told me that the Cape Charles Bank might be in danger of being robbed. Later in the day, on television and radio...it was announced that bank robbers had indeed robbed a bank at Keller, a small town up the road from here (Cape Charles). I swear that this is a true and accurate statement to the best of my knowledge. Jack Gilliland Mr. Jack Gilliland, Mgr. Cape Charles Virginia === Page 10 of 12 August 10, 1972 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS... This incredible "attack" on earth...by sun-storms...an "unexpected series of solar phenomena that a scientist at Boulder, Colo., said was sort of like getting snow in Atlanta in July"...WAS CAUSED BY ME. Here's how it happened; as I was driving back from Cleveland, Ohio, some months ago, I was furious over how things had turned out. My best friend, George DeLeven, had dropped about three thousand dollars on the Ohio trip... because the Ohio people had been mainly hostile and unfriendly. George and I even had to walk off of one radio show...because of the radio host's nestiness. All right...as I drove back, the Si's communicated with me...and told me to use the same four giant UFO's at the corner of the earth that I use to cause earthquakes, and to make insects etc. go wild on earth...they told me to use the "Emmy-Emma" UFO group to deflect the sun's rays onto earth...aimed at Cleveland, Ohio! So I followed their instructions, along with the Triangle technique. What followed...was first Hurricane Agnes...which nearly drowned out the East Coast (it reached for Cleveland, but only got as far as Pittsburgh.) Then...a searing blast of heat that attacked the entire East Coast...INCLUDING CLEVELAND-AKRON. In Cleveland sidewalks buckled from the heat...people went crazy, did crazy things...fires started all over (I have all of this documented, and will send it to you as soon as I can afford the huge xeroxing job it will take.) But the point I am making is...THEN FOLLOWED THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND "snow in July" attack from the sun onto the earth! The Si technique...had me picture the four giant UFO's in my mind...each one deflecting, like a mirror, the sun's rays down onto the earth, converging on Cleveland, Ohio. What then followed...was an unprecedented, unheard of, attack by the sun on the earth! Cause and effect...the pattern that has persistently followed all through my demonstrations. My mental cause...then the effect following, shown, observed, physically, for actual proof! I told several people BEFORE the sun attacked earth...what I was doing to attack earth with sun's rays...and will send you a xerox'd signed statement to that effect as soon as I can get one and can afford to get it xerox'd. If any of you want a further demonstration of this attack from the sun...I will be glad to repeat it for you. (A little rough on the earth, but perhaps worth it...from a scientific standpoint.) I may do it anyway...to satisfy my own knowledge. Then I may experiment with the moon. If any of you want in on this, let me know. Owens (XPK!! Jan) *Pete Franklin Radio Show === Page 11 of 12 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS... I wrote you on November 12, 1971...quite a bit ago...and told you that "my demonstration will be...in the skies and heavens overlooking our earth... and even in outer space beyond our earth." You'd better dig that up, and read it in full. Better yet...I'll xerox it and enclose a copy for you. It has taken this long...for my powers to get this done (space-time in psi-force is different than in our space-time continuum.) Now I would assume that from here-on...planes might be in danger, and the water attack that I write of...might be even more dangerous even than it has been (Hurricane Agnes; Man, West Virginia; floods in South Dakota, etc.) (Not to mention the worst typhoon in the history of the Philippines.) So here it is. The power I "sent up" in 1971...has just arrived! Owens 8/9/72 King-Pilot Like Snow in July A closeup of the sun shows a sunspot with a diameter of 62,400 miles.

(UPI) === Page 12 of 12 November 12, 1971 To The Scientists I Know: Gentlemen, it is time...time to give you a demonstration...to strike fear into your hearts. I am not...your ordinary, orthodox human; even "experimenter". And I have waited too long, overlong...for some cooperation, from somebody. I've marked time...toying with pro football teams...waiting for some scientists, somewhere, to make an approach. Now it is too late. Too late. My demonstration will be...in the skies and heavens overlooking our earth...and even in outer space beyond our earth. This has nothing to do with the Si's work. This will be my own...and by the time you receive this, it will have been put into effect. Sometime, perhaps, I will dismantle the apparatus. Perhaps. What I am going to do...is thrust tremendous, smashing, destructive thrusts of power...up through the skies over the earth, even unto outer space. No airplane will be safe in the air; no rocket ship will be safe in outer space. Invisible waves of irresistible force...will permeate our skies. Until I call them off, sometime, some day. My powers...and ability...have been taken too lightly. If not, then I would have been approached and cooperated with, before this time. I can't wait forever; therefore the infinite powers which I possess...must be brought out and thwacked across the heads of stupid humans...to show them that a fact is a fact. Then we will take it from there. So...right now the waters of the world are turning their intelligence toward the destruction of humans. This was brought about...because my word of warning was not heeded...re further pollution. Now...the very air of the earth overhead...will be a no-man's land...waiting, waiting for humans to get up into it. In planes or whatever. If you have any human decency...you will issue a general warning to the public not to fly in planes. But...the love of money being what it is...you will not, and they will. And airplanes will fall like snow in December. I think this is the Si half of my brain talking...but whatever...it is very real, as borne out by my past demonstrations. It is incongruous...I stop or divert the flow of giant lava slides, and save villages...yet not a word, not one word...goes out about it. The Si's are not credited; their powers are not pointed out to the public. So...we go from positive to negative powers. Unfortunate, but...there it is.

Text Any textual data included in the document === Page 1 of 22 Dr. Sprinkle Sept. 11, 1972 Dear Dr. Hynek: Today I had my heartiest laugh in a long while. I received your "letter", unsigned, scribbled along the margins of my last letter. Well, some initials are there... I suppose it was you writing. You know... I always accord you the dignity... of a regular letter, such as this one. At any rate, we now begin at a new point in time. First... please understand... and inform anyone who should know... that I do not want the Enquirer's prize money. I withdraw from it. Why? Because your suggestion angered me. The suggestion that I have the SI's appear in person for you at a meeting, to be photographed. This perhaps has to be the most ridiculous suggestion of all time. I do not tell the SI's procedure; they tell me procedure. Least of all will they allow any third parties, even Dr. Hynek, dictate rules and procedures to them. However, do not jump to any wrong conclusions at this point in the letter... they are going to give you a demonstration! Before we get to that... I want to get to the part of your "letter" where you state (with relation to my past phenomena) "possibly a great case of precognition - but not necessarily cause and effect. How do you separate the two?" It would seem obvious to me... that anyone, even a non-sophisticated highschool pupil... would be able to separate the two, given access to my files. First of all... as Binder pointed out in one of the Saga articles... how could I be simply precognitive... on now almost 400 cases and projects? Isn't this straining the "precog" just a bit? You should be familiar with the Apollo shot, last one. I called you before it went up, and told you I would give the astronauts fits, and try to knock out the power and communications. Well, I sent you the full file on it. I did exactly as I said I would do. Furthermore, you noted all the "firsts" freakish things that happened, ever... on space flights. How would my "simple precog" pick that up? On the radar demonstration... which you have had ample opportunity to check out... along with the full file on it I sent you... I produced 25-50 UFO forms on the radar screen, plus innumerable strange strobes or spokes... which shouldn't have been on there, according to the radar expert with me. And I GOT THE STROBES ON PURPOSE, TELLING HIM THAT I WOULD TRY TO DO SO BY AFFECTING A POWER SURGE! How on earth... could you link up precognition with an upped mental power surge to produce multiple-strobes on a radar screen? Furthermore, I told the expert to watch the TV and papers... that my power, mental power, could possibly knock down planes and ships in the week or two following. FOUR MILITARY PLANES THEN CRASHED IN THE BAY AREA WITHIN FIVE DAYS. Precognition? Fooey. You are saying that when I asked him to get me to a radar screen... that I KNEW 25-50 UFO's would appear on it, precognitively; that multiple strobes would appear on it (that had no business being on there... tremendous power coming from our VERY LOCATION.); and finally, that I knew precognitively that, after my appearance at the radar installation... four planes would crash in five days! How ridiculous can you get? (At this point let me say that I consider myself the greatest psychic in the entire history of the world... not on the basis of opinion, but on the basis of performance... so that I allow myself the leeway of being eccentric enough to speak straight and honestly, without fear of University retaliation, or U.S. Government retaliation, or anything else.) In the Cleveland file... which I sent you... how do you explain that I outlined in advance... lightning attacks... and got lightning attacks! Does lightning, then, go along with the heat? === Page 2 of 22 2 I had thought lightning went with a different kind of weather. Also, if you will check with the weather people in Cleveland...then look at that list I sent you in advance... you will see that I stated "60-90 mile-per-hour winds" (on the May 30 letter to you). Cleveland had such winds...I just wasn't able to cover enough xeroxing cost to include it. There were power blackouts there...as I stipulated there would be, and all kinds of electrical disturbances...as I stipulated there would be. How you could make a precog case...out of this complicated, sophisticated psi-force attack on Cleveland? You could argue precog perhaps on one item, or two...heat and power blackouts...but how precog could you get...to go on and predict lightning attacks, wind storms, people acting crazily, and so forth (as outlined in the newspaper clips)? That one single point...my telling you in advance that I'd cause people to act crazily... then it actually happening, with many calls to City Hall...well, you read the newsclip... people acting absolutely nuttily. This would fit no precognition pattern I've ever heard of! Do this...make an offer of a million dollars to any psychic in the world...who could precognitively state that people would act crazily (call and report voices from UFO's; secret agents; etc., as from my file newsclip) in any certain city in the world (I stipulated Cleveland, remember?)...within 90 days...and see if you ever have to pay the million. I assure you, it is quite safe. Tell them also just for good measure to predict a lightning attack in that certain city; plus wind storms; plus side-walk buckling heat...to go along with and qualify the "people acting crazily" part. Ha! I have already told you...the Si's gave me photographs of them. If you do not believe the photos you have, that I sent you...that is no concern of mine. They are quite real; are fact. So why do you need another photograph? I tell you, I really resented your wording on this: "you could win it (the prize money) easily if at the time of our next panel meeting you could cause a UFO apparition sufficiently strong and close to be photographed..." Why, certainly, Dr. Hynek...and I could win the prize money quite easily if I produced an actual UFO in your meeting room...or perhaps made it snow next July 4th in Buenos Aires, Argentina... You see, Dr. Hynek...I'm peculiar, and I guess a little touched. I consider my brains and knowledge and experience...on a par with many PhD's and Dr.'s...at the very least. And of course, if this were in fact true...then you would treat me with a bit more dignity, and respect. I regret that I have no degree, and a Dr. before my name...so that you could comfortably communicate with me as you would another scientist, or even at least let's say...a member of Mensa, which I am. One more point on "how do you separate the two". Years ago...when I wrote CIA a letter and told them that "Nature" had told me to write that it would affect the electromagnetic condition of the South Pole...and get it into the newspapers in such a way that it would PROVE my connection with it, "Nature", and its reality. Afterward...a UFO appeared over two South Pole scientific expeditions, affected their EM apparatus, and hovered for 45 minutes for pictures to be taken. Now, how in hell could I have pulled THAT out of a precognitive hat? Call Ed Ames, in Brewer, Maine...I told him I'd communicate with a UFO and ask it to appear within two weeks over Brewer-Bangor, and he reported in the newspapers to validate it. It appeared within a week, was seen and reported on the front page of the Brewer newspapers. To call such a happening "precognition" would be absurd! Enough. Now to get back to what I am going to do. (Incidentally...I was going to show you TWO miracles, some time back...but couldn't get you or Dr. Fogel by phone...so I went ahead, being too angered to write...and confused Spassky's mind. Then I decided to switch things around for the second miracle...and instead of aiming PK at the Russian athletes, I aimed at the U.S. athletes. The results were fantastic. Of course I have no documentation on this...but what difference does it make anyway? I can't get anywhere with the ton of documentation that I do have. And I might say that the Olympics are === Page 3 of 22 3 perfect for psi-force experimentation! Because everything is measured in time and distance...and can be so easily checked, result-wise. Perhaps some of my other contacts...who are not on your own "precog" hangup...recognized my now-familiar psi-force attack pattern...in the Olympic foul-ups. All right. The Si's were quite angry (if they could be said to have that emotion)... at your stipulation that they appear "in person" at your meeting to have a nice snapshot made. Just as I was angry. So they will GIVE you a demonstration. Of their own choosing (which is the only way they operate anyway). The NATO WAR GAMES open on Thursday, Sept. 14. I quote the newspaper: "Armed forces of 11 North Atlantic allies open the biggest combined land, sea and air maneuvers in their peacetime history next Thursday. The war games continued until Sept. 28." So the Si's tell me to inform you...that they will attack these war exercises...with various means at their command...to knock down airplanes and copters; sink ships; and cause innumerable freakish things to happen and occur (as in the Apollo flight, except this time there will be more personnel involved). They will try to interfere with radar, with EM equipment, with radio and communications. And they will do it in your honor...and any other scientists who cannot tell precog from cause-and-effect. In summing up...I disassociate myself from the Enquirer thing, completely, as a result of your today's communication...and the Si's are going to give you, and the NATO forces, a lesson which will be long remembered! Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Man) === Page 4 of 22 Just win a few Sept 27, 1972 Inquirer # Phillies fans have modest demands By HAROLD J. WIEGAND Contributing Editor The Philadelphia Phillies have made it a practice, near the close of their home season, to hold what they call a "Fan Appreciation Day." It is a nice gesture to the die-hard fans who have turned out, game after losing game, despite adversity. The customers doubtless appreciate the thought, as well as the prizes, awards, batting helmets, caps, autographed baseballs, bumper stickers and other paraphernalia the management has heaped on them during a succession of losing seasons. What the fans would really appreciate, however, is a team that can play, at least half the time, winning baseball. The Phils have not won a pennant in 22 years, which is a long time to sit in the stands and cheer Bob Carpenter for supplying high-wire walkers, free bats, .167 hitters, and other entertainments. There should be a Fan Appreciation Day every time the Phillies play at home before people who love the game so much that they pay to witness the kind of baseball this team manages, somehow to play. When the club can amass a season attendance of more than one million while it is busily digging a hole in the cellar, the iron constitutions of Philadelphia fans and their courage in the face of doom are incontrovertibly confirmed. AVOID THE OCTOBER RUSH, ORDER YOUR PHILLIES WORLD SERIES TICKETS NOW!!!!!!! Eternal optimists ... rooting for perennial failures Philadelphia sports fans have picked up the reputation, in some circles, as notorious boo-birds. If this town's fans boo a lot, it is because they have a lot to boo about. There are many occupants of seats in the Vet's Stadium who find themselves hoarse before the end of the first inning. When you see an outfielder get hit on the head by an easy catch; when a shortstop forgets to step on the bag for a simple double play; when a player steals a base already fully occupied: what is a fan to do, sing Dixie? Philadelphia fans have been given a bad rap. Instead of career masochists who go to a ball game for the sheer torture of it, they are warm-hearted human beings whose only fault is that they instinctively know more about baseball than any manager since Connie Mack. Our fans grow up in the knowledge that the Phillies will probably be 37 games out on Labor Day -- in a good season. But they live with unconquerable hope. They remain convinced, despite bumbling managers and blundering players, that a pennant winner will somehow, some day, miraculously emerge at the Vet, in between the handouts of batting helmets and other souvenirs. If you don't think the Philadelphia boo birds can cheer, you have never seen them when Steve Carlton is pitching. They know class and they respond to it. They are not like the fans in, say, Houston, where they even applaud foul balls. Give them a decent pitching performance, or a fine fielding play, or a grand slam by a Phillies batter (when did that happen last?), and you won't need fake cannon fire and water spouts to lift them from their seats. Phillies fans deserve a winner. That would be real Fan Appreciation. TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS.... Before I left Philadelphia some years ago... I informed Stan Hochman of the Daily News, sports writer... that I would force the Phila. Eagles, the Phila. 76'rs, and the Phillies (pro football; pro basketball; pro baseball teams, respectively) into being losers... year after year. (I also informed all of my regular contacts of this.) Now, the power I am using... is the same as used by the ancient Egyptians to place a "curse" inside a tomb, to protect the tomb from robbers. You can see how well my psi-force attack on these three pro teams have worked. As usual, the Phillies are on the very bottom. The Eagles are in about the same shape. Too early this season to measure the 76'rs... but I can tell you that, season in and season out, they have not been winners! They've been losers, all the way since I started on this. I add this file... just so that you can see the potency of the powers that I use. Owens (X PK Man) === Page 5 of 22 Monday, Oct. 2, 1972 - [ ] 17 # The Philadelphia Inquirer Ha ha! Vet Stadium is PK'd + Eagles are PK'd!!! # Tose Guarantees Win as Eagles Face Giants Tonight By GORDON FORBES Of The Inquirer Staff The Eagles can commit the unforgivable sin tonight at the Vet by embarrassing their boss in front of 30 million television viewers. Len Tose, their compelling owner, has guaranteed a victory over the New York Giants in perhaps the most unattractive of the highly popular Monday night pro football series on ABC. "Yep, I'll guarantee a victory over the New York Giants," said the brash Tose earlier in the week. "We'll win because I expect a lot of scoring and us getting to the Giant quarterback whoever he may be." THE TOSE prediction, which fashioned the walls of the Giant dressing room, may be the only arguable point in a match of two teams groping for their first win. "I think it's time for the whole team to put it all together," claimed Eagle linebacker Ron Porter. "It's the time of year for us to win a game. It is important because we need a boost to get in the right frame of mind for the rest of the season." Neither the Eagle offense nor their pass rush -- the two Tose particulars -- has been impressive in losses to the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns. Lineups, Rosters--Page 19 Rookie quarterback John Reaves produced the only two Eagle touchdowns in an exciting second-half rally last week against the Browns. Coach Ed Khayat leaned towards starting Reaves but is believed to have changed his mind in favor of veteran Pete Liske. "Pete is going to start," said Reaves. "I knew that all along. He's the first-string. Besides, anybody can have a bad game." Liske is trying to recover from a bruised right shoulder which has impaired his passing. FORMER EAGLE Norm Snead has won the Giant quarterback job off two impressive though losing performances in which he completed 68.6 percent of his attempts. There is considerable irony to Snead's appearance. Two years ago, he inspired the Eagles to a 23-20 upset victory over the Giants in the most talked about Monday night game of the season. Moreover, it was Len Tose who accelerated trade talks that sent Snead to the Minnesota Vikings. In seeking to upgrade their rush, the Eagles will return Richard Harris to left end and switch Ernie Calloway back to right tackle. "The rush when you look at it in films hasn't been as bad as it seems," said Calloway. "The quarterback has been throwing off balance. We've been just a step away." GIVEN TIME, as he was in last week's loss to Dallas, Snead can demoralize a zone defense. He flicked scoring passes of 55 and 94 yards to Rich Houston, a fast and dangerous receiver who must be handled by cornerback Al Nelson. The Eagle defense must also cope with two proven runners, Ron Johnson and Charlie Evans. With that in mind, Khayat has reshuffled his linebackers and will start Steve Zabel despite a knee handicap in the middle and quick, second-year player Bob Creech on the weak side. Tackle Wade Key has recovered from a twisted knee and will improve the blocking protection for Liske and Reaves. The game plan likely calls for the Eagles to try to get the ball to Harold Jackson, who enters the game with 16 catches for 292 yards, and to both backs, Po James and Larry Watkins. The runners will be working against three inexperienced linebackers. Playing on national television has twisted the Eagle work schedule into six days of preparation for the Giants and only four this week for the stronger Washington Redskins. "But even a fool would be conscious of playing on TV," said Calloway before heading for the barber shop Saturday. "It's better than champagne." === Page 6 of 22 Injunction Stay Asked By Atlanta By Virginian-Pilot Staff Writer The Virginia Squires were in Colorado Springs. The Atlanta Hawks were in Baton Rouge, La. Both pro basketball teams were on the road for exhibition games, but Julius Erving, the middle man in a tug-of-war, was in his Atlanta apartment. Waiting. Erving, who has jumped the ABA Squires for the NBA Hawks, was idled by a Monday court decision which granted the Squires' plea for a temporary restraining order, preventing Erving from playing for Atlanta or any other NBA team. The NBA has awarded Erving to the Milwaukee Bucks, who drafted the ex-Massachusetts star. Early Tuesday, the Hawks filed for a stay of the injunction in the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York. There was no word as to when that decision would be rendered. PK Man Ready CAPE CHARLES--At least one Virginian has an idea of how to get superstar Julius Erving back into a Squire uniform. Ted Owens, the PK Man, said he would use his powers to "get inside Erving's brain" and make Erving want to play for Virginia again. Owens uses, he says, mental power called psychokinesis (mind over matter) to make things happen. Although a federal court ruled Monday that Erving may play with only the Squires, Owens feels the 6-7 forward might not return in the best frame of mind. "Erving would probably play poorly, hoping the Squires would get rid of him," Owens says. "So I would use my powers to make him want to do well. "I want to work with Mr. (Earl) Foreman (Squires owner) but so far the Squires have not been very interested. I could save them a lot of money," Owens said. The Squires have been reluctant to pay Owens, and the PK Man does not work for free. Eagles Make Owner 'Sick'; Recovery Is Not Guaranteed Oct 4 '72 PHILADELPHIA (UPI)--Versatile Ron Johnson of the New York Giants runs inside and out, catches passes long and short and makes fools of braggarts like Leonard Tose. The dapper Tose, who took $16 million from his trucking fortune to buy the lowly Philadelphia Eagles three years ago, went around town all last week "guaranteeing" his club would finally win a football game Monday night before a national television audience. Johnson proved Tose's "guarantee" was as worthless as the warranty on a second-hand truck by scoring four touchdowns in the Giants' first victory of the season, 27-12. To top everything off, the Giants were under the direction of Norm Snead, a quarterback traded by the Eagles a year after Tose took command. "I can't believe that bleeping Snead beat this team," Tose said afterward. "I'm sick. I just can't believe we're this bad." What the Eagles lacked was a sense of opportunism. With rookie quarterback John Reaves starting his first game after two losses under Pete Liske, they moved inside the Giant 30-yard line seven times and had first downs inside the 25 six times. They scored only on a five-yard Reaves pass to Po James in the third quarter and field goals of 27 and 15 yards by Tom Dempsey in the first half. A missed field goal, an interception in the end zone by Spider Lockhart, a fumble recovery by Willie Williams and an interception by Jim Files spoiled the other Eagle chances. The Eagles' one bright spot was the play of wide receiver Harold Jackson, who maintained his league pass catching lead with nine for 138 yards. Johnson set a club record with his four touchdowns on Snead passes of 16, 9 and 15 yards and a five-yard run. He carried 36 times for 124 yards and added 60 more on five receptions. Johnson, at full strength after being idled by leg injuries last year, said his performance "was a big emotional lift because I was playing cautious until now." Tose, whose boisterous talk contrasts sharply with the silence of head coach Ed Khayat, blamed the loss on a lack of team "character." "This team played like they don't have any character," Tose said. "I think our players have the ability to win and I don't know why they're not winning. But it is not the fault of the coaching staff or the front office." Asked whether that let the players to blame, Tose snapped, "You're damn right." TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS.......... Re (2)... Last Monday afternoon, after reading in the papers that Len Tose had guaranteed that the Eagles would beat the Giants that same evening... I telephoned the Phila. Daily News, the Phila. Inquirer, and the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot... sports depts... and notified all three that that evening I would personally go "one on one" with Len Tose and his team... and beat the Eagles, in a "weird game". Well... at game time, over TV, I did just that. The Eagles should have won... note in the above how many times they were in scoring position. But my psi-force attack kept them from scoring each time... they would drop the ball, fumble, throw an interception, etc. And so they were beaten. And I won, in spite of Len Tose's guarantee. Some critics say, oh, but the Eagles are a bad team. Well, who do you think keeps the Eagles a bad team? I do, that's who. Same as I keep the Phila. Phillies on the bottom, year after year! Think for a moment... how could the Phila. baseball and football teams (pro) both stink, year after year... in spite of changing coaches, changing players, etc? Phila. is a huge city. It spends a fortune on its sports teams. Yet how could the Eagles and Phillies be at the bottom year after year? Because of my psi-force, PK attack, that's how! (And the 76'rs can't get anywhere, either.) Owens (PK Man) === Page 7 of 22 Nov. 27, '72 FRANK DOLSON Can Philly Win One for Ripper? THE EAGLES GAVE UP 62 POINTS SUNDAY, and it might as well have been 162. Their record is 2-8-1 and falling. The way they are playing Leonard Tose might have trouble talking Jerry Wolman into TAKING them back. The 76ers have won one and lost 21. A quarter of the way through the schedule they are 17 games off the pace. The only pro basketball teams ever to get off a worse start were the Washington Generals, the Boston Shamrocks and the Atlantic City Seagulls. And THEY were playing the Globetrotters. The Blazers, with the worst record in the WHA, have lost 16 games, two general managers, and one owner. Inspired by a post-game blast by their remaining owner Friday night, they blew a two-goal lead with four minutes to go against the second-worst team in the league Saturday night. The Flyers, our town's only "winner," have skidded a game under .500. Their road record is so bad they'd probably be underdogs if they played the Blazers at the Civic Center . . . Whoops. Hold everything. Stop the sarcasm. Hold the wise cracks. The trouble with Philadelphia sports writers is they're too negative. Always looking for something to knock. "Does Dolson ever say anything nice about anybody?" an anonymous reader wrote recently. Well, why not? Surely, it was worth a try. What better time for a temporary cease-fire than Thanksgiving weekend? Right From Horse's Mouth THINK OF IT: AN ENTIRE WEEKEND devoted to the proposition that there's some good in everything, even in Philadelphia pro sports franchises. Stop knocking, start boosting. Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative. Sure, the Giants scored 62 points Sunday, but the Eagles scored 10, didn't they? That two touchdowns in two weeks. Get the idea? It was only fitting that our first, annual Be-Kind-to-Philly-Franchises Weekend began at Civic Center Convention Hall, home of the Blazers. After all, wasn't it the Blazers' highest-paid player--his name escapes me--who was quoted at great length by a New York sports writers a couple of weeks ago as follows: "The Philadelphia press is brutal. I'm writing a book with a whole chapter on the (Philly) sportswriters that's really going to do a number on them. How sometimes they're so drunk they can't remember the arena, and where they are and what they're doing. How do they get off criticizing players? Here in Philadelphia they exaggerate the bad things. Like if you lose, you're a Etcetera. Etcetera. Okay. Let's boost the Blazers. Let's get out there and root, root, root. Sure, they lost a game Friday night, but they rallied from two goals down, didn't they? And they were even late in the third period, weren't they? Well, weren't they, Bernie? "I thought they played terrible," the owner told The Inquirer's John Dell after the game. "I don't think they really tried . . . I told them they should be ashamed of themselves. I Hmmm. Well, enough of the Blazers. I mean, if the owner feels that way about it . . . No Players From the Sky ON TO THE SPECTURM, home of the 76ers. It's the fourth quarter. They're leading! Five up with 10 minutes to go. Less than 4,000 fans in the place, but they're cheering. "Dammit," Roy Rubin said, "a lousy five-point lead and it sounded like 50,000 people in there . . ." A beautiful night, right? Well, not exactly. To be honest with you, as Frank Lucchesi used to say, the 76ers got out-- "I called three time outs," Rubin said. "I changed the guards. I tried everything . . . We need help so badly, so desperately in the backcourt. We're getting killed at both ends by our guards--defensively and with horrendous steals. We need a playmaking guard, a leader on the floor. After 22 games it's obvious where the weakness is . . . We can't sit on our hands and wait for a miracle to happen. Some little bird isn't going to fall out of the sky and say, 'I'm a player.' "We're trying. We're trying like hell. I'll look anywhere for a player. In a schoolyard. Anywhere. I'm going to an Eastern League game tonight in Trenton. I don't expect anything, but I'm not leaving any stones unturned. (Pause.) I hope they're playing. With my luck I'll probably get up to Trenton and find out they've got the night off." Hmmm. Friday night the Blazers play "like school children." Saturday night the 76ers throw away a five-point lead so fast it makes Roy Rubin's head spin. Sunday afternoon the Eagles . . . But remember, it could have been worse. We did have something to be thankful for this weekend. A labor dispute forced CBS to cancel its telecast of the Eagles-Giants game. In its place, Channel 10 viewers saw the Redskins play the Packers. Maybe we didn't get any victories this weekend, but at least we discovered the true meaning of the term "strike benefits." Nov. 27, 1972 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS . . . . As you know, as a demonstration of how psi-force can selectively control ALL PRO TEAMS in one large city . . . I have been "PK'ing" with psi-force all of the pro teams in Philadelphia. On these newsclips . . . you can see how utterly absolutely and completely successful I have been. If it were not so . . . then would not at least ONE of these four teams be a big winner? (If not more than one.) You can see the pattern here . . . fits the other psi-force pattern demonstrations I have given (as with the aircraft carriers). EVERYTHING goes wrong for the "target", as it is slowly demolished, and deteriorates. Owens PK Man === Page 8 of 22 Nov. 27, 1972 Phila. Inq. # Khayat Says Birds Quit In Club's Worst Defeat By JOHN FLYNN Of The Inquirer Staff NEW YORK. -- The Eagles quit Sunday. Oh, there were protests to the contrary in their dressing room afterwards, but the evidence was overwhelmingly against them. It was in the score -- 62-10. It was in the dozens of missed tackles. It was in the embarrassment the players tried to hide. But most of all, it was in the words that Eddie Khayat said to Giant quarterback Randy Johnson as they left the field together. "We quit," the Eagle coach told Johnson. JOHNSON HAD come to Khayat to apologize for engineering the final three Giant touchdowns, which turned an embarrassing 41-10 rout into a 52-point blitz which could prove terribly costly to Khayat when Len Tose starts assessing his football team. But Khayat, in his gentle fashion, had reassured Johnson. "Nothing you could do, our guys quit," said Eddie. Johnson, who came in for Norman Snead in the third quarter, agreed with Khayat. "There wasn't anything I could do," he declared. "I kept trying to run the simplest plays and we kept breaking them off for long gainers or touchdowns. It got embarrassing for me after awhile." IT ALSO GOT embarrassing for Giant Coach Alex Webster. In fact, Johnson and Webster argued on the sidelines after Johnson had sneaked for the Giants' final touchdown with a long seven minutes, 35 seconds remaining. Webster told Johnson to stop the flow of touchdowns somehow, and Johnson succeeded although the Giants were on the move again at the Eagle 33 as the final gun ended the fiasco. "What could I do?" asked Johnson. "I'm not a guy to call the wrong play or to throw the ball over the receiver's head. I just couldn't settle for a giveup play." Johnson tried to work the safe stuff but it worked too well because the demoralized Eagles would have had trouble bringing down your Aunt Fanny. ON THE FIRST play of the final period, Johnson threw a sideline pass to Don Herrmann. The play was designed to go five or six yards and pick up a first down. Instead, it went 63 for the Giants' seventh touchdown because the coverage broke down upfield and Bill Bradley missed a tackle and Al Nelson fell down downfield. Later on during the Giants' last touchdown drive, Johnson threw a harmless looking screen pass which an Eagle tipped into the hands of running back Vince Clements who went 49 yards to the Eagle 29 before he fell on his duff without a hand being laid on him. From there the Giants moved to the first down on the 12. At that point the Eagles allowed Johnson to crash into the end zone on three quarterback sneaks, proving conclusively that the game had become a non-contact sport for Philadelphia's entry in the NFL. "I couldn't believe it," said Johnson. He wasn't alone. Nov. 27, 1972 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS... this incredible, unbelievable event is one of the finest examples of psi-force attacking! Read this newsclip carefully. No matter what happened...everything went wrong for the Eagles...and as they became demoralized and confused, the Giants kept scoring. (The Giants are NOT one of my PK'd teams.) AND HERE IT GETS SCREAMINGLY FUNNY! Both the Giant coach and the Giant quarterback tried in every way...TO NOT SCORE! NOT MAKE TOUCHDOWNS! (This is unheard of on this scale.) YET IN SPITE OF THEIR EFFORTS, THEY STILL PRODUCED THREE MORE TOUCHDOWNS AGAINST THE EAGLES! Now think about that a minute. A professional football team, with both the coach and the quarterback on the field trying to play simple plays and not score...STILL MAKING 21 POINTS! (Note that the Eagles only made 10 points in the entire game.) Owens PK Man === Page 9 of 22 Pro football Bill Bell of Atlanta was distraught after the Patriots' victory. "I just blew it," he said after missing a 16-yard field goal attempt with 28 seconds to play, a field goal that would have put the Falcons on top. "I hit it with the inside of my toe and it squirted off to the left. I knew right away it was bad." And Coach Norm Van Brocklin added: "It's a one-in-a-million shot--but it happens." Trailing 20-7 in the fourth quarter, quarterback Jim Plunkett engineered two New England scoring drives, one ending with a touchdown pass to Randy Vataha, the other climaxed by Carl Garrett' 12-yard scoring run. Mike Phipps, a third-year quarterback making only his second NFL start, threw for one touchdown and ran nor another to lead the Browns past the Eagles. Don Cockroft booted two field goals and Bo Scott plunged over from one-yard out for the Browns' other scores. Philadelphia's rookie quarterback, John Reaves, also threw for one touchdown and ran for another. Tight end Jerry Smith caught his first two passes of the season--both for touchdowns--to lead the Redspings past the Cardinals. 9/25/72 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS... "It's a one-in-a-million shot," said coach Norm Brocklin. Now, you and I both know...that that is where PK Men comes in...providing miraculous one-in-a-million shots. And PK Men was VERY MUCH in this one! As background...Bill Bell came to me at my home several years ago in Norfolk and asked me to help him make the Falcon team by using my powers. He seemed sincere...so I did just that. (He'd tried to make the team before, but had failed.) All right, after he made the Falcon team...he wrote me a nasty letter...said he'd thrown his disc away...and THAT HE HAD WRITTEN A NATIONAL MAGAZINE WHICH WAS CONTEMPLATING DOING AN ARTICLE ON ME, THAT I WAS A "FAKE AND PHONY PERSONALITY". Now, it was bad enough to double-cross me, so to speak...but when he went to a national magazine to attack my character...he was not only trying to hurt me, but hurt the SI's attempt to get together with humans. So ever since that time...the Falcons have been my number one PK'd team...to make them losers...and of course, especially Bill Bell the biggest loser of all. Any team...which employs Bell...I will utterly and thoroughly and completely and methodically wreck. And the Falcons have him now. (Of course...when I speak of wrecking...I am speaking of using my psi-force powers...mental powers. Just as I have used them on the Baltimore Colts, Eagles, Baltimore Bullets, Jets, and so forth.) If there is any validity at all to my psi-force powers...Bill Bell will, in time, become the most frustrated, "distraught" pro football player of all time. Owens (PK Man) PS... Howard Cosell even talked about Bill Bell's losing the game for his team... over national TV. "You have to feel awfully sorry for that young man," said Cosell. (Never a truer word has ever been spoken!) - Owens === Page 10 of 22 By GORDON FORBES of The Inquirer Staff THIS WAS THE FINAL WEEK of the exhibition season and the pro football factory was busy counting its healthy bodies. The others, the ones with torn knee ligaments and pulled hamstring muscles from the snap, crackle and pop of the previous five weeks, would be cast onto a waiver list. In time, the injured would return to flowing health and the process would be repeated. Healthy on the 40-man roster, injured on the discard heap. Lee Bouggess was one of those beginning a painful rehabilitation program following knee surgery. Wearing a thick, thigh-to-ankle cast over his right knee, Bouggess manipulated himself around the apartment in Sicklerville, N. J., with his wife, Georgeanne, as cheerleader. On the day after the Eagles had shown their tender affection for the New York Giants, pro football suddenly became meaningless for Lee and Georgeanne Bouggess. "I was sitting at home feeling very weak," Bouggess was recalling. "I felt this pain in my back but thought it was just from getting up and sitting down. Like a pull. "But next morning, after I didn't sleep at all," he said, "I woke up and began yawning. I'd take a deep breath and it hurt." Bouggess turned to his wife and said, "My goodness, I can't breathe." Soon the young runner was on his way at high speeds to Graduate hospital where eight days earlier a surgeon had cut into his knee to repair a ligament and some muscles. BOUGGESS' CONDITION WAS DIAGNOSED as a pulmonary embolism, or blood clot, near the lung area. The embolism is caused by a sequence of chemical and physical reactions that result in a conversion of fluid blood to a coagulated mass. "I thought I was close to death," Bouggess said. "They were talking about my lungs collapsing. I was halfway out of everything anyway, and the only thing I could do was pray." After spending three uncertain weeks at Graduate, Bouggess was returned home as a pro football back in disguise. Actually, a 185-pound weakling. He must take a blood-thinning drug for the next two months as a precaution against the development of another embolism. "Then I'll be safe and free from a blood clot returning," he said. "There are a lot of restrictions. You're like a bleeder, a hemophiliac." "I thought I was close to death . . . and the only thing I could do was pray." --Lee Bouggess Logic tells you that Lee Bouggess will spend the rest of the season in pro football's shadowy fringe, the other side of the frantic Sunday scene. "It's going to hurt my comeback," he grudgingly conceded. "I can stand on the leg, you know. And on a flat surface I can walk. Maybe later in the year I'll be ready." BOUGGESS WAS REFLECTING the grim determination that has made pro football players the most remarkable of all professional athletes. No fewer than 61 Eagle players have undergone surgery in the past five seasons, 43 of the operations involving the susceptible knee joint. This year alone Jim Ward, Ike Kelley, Pat Gibbs, Tom McNeill and Bouggess, have submitted to knee reconstruction. Bouggess, talented running back, beautiful person and keeper of the faith, persists in his belief that he will be exploding with a football in the 12th, or maybe 13th game of the season. The disturbing fact is that injuries continue to stack up with no foreseeable solution. The hope that synthetic turf would wipe out knee damage has turned out to be a manufacturer's dream. New protective braces for the knee have been developed but seldom if ever used. The chilling fact of National Football League life is that a mountingly high percentage of players will need knee surgery sometime in their careers. In the case of Lee Bouggess, complications developed that make you wonder about the steady parade of players into operating rooms across the country. There is something special about a player like Bouggess who, having been hospitalized three times in the past two seasons, still wants to return to the huddle. This season, too. FRANK DOLSON Dear Mr. Dolson: I am writing this letter out of sheer frustration over the performance thus far of the so-called "professional" sports teams here in Philadelphia . . . We seem to have the best sports coverage of any city, some of the most loyal and knowledgeable fans anywhere, and to boot we even have a comfortable and fairly accessible place to watch these teams perform. But where do we find our teams at the end of the season? Usually near the bottom of the heap with the players at each other's throats and screaming to management demanding to be traded. Why, for once, can't one of our teams put it all together and go all the way? I ask myself this time and time again and come to the realization that all our teams lack the basic ingredient that separates the men from the boys, so to speak: PRIDE. Pride starts with upper management and works its way down through the managers, coaches, players, equipment boys and even the pom-pom girls and, baby, we don't have it here in Philly. Chris Balzano, Jr. Clifton Heights, Pa. Dear Mr. Balzano: Hmmm. So you've noticed it, too. GORDON FORBES On the Eagles === Page 11 of 22 UFO Mother Ship Traced to Dighton HAYS, Kan. (UPI) -- Kansas authorities are puzzling over the significance of unidentified flying objects appearing over west-central Kansas in the past week. A chart of the UFO sightings for the past week shows them all within a near-equilateral triangle, with sides about 120 miles long. Hays lies in the center of that triangle and has reported the majority of the recent sightings. One corner is Lyons, to the southeast, where two of the fiery red hovering objects were seen Wednesday night. The northern corner is Phillipsburg, where a similar UFO was spotted before dawn Wednesday. The southwest corner of the triangle is at Dighton, where the phenomenon has recurred regularly since February. Dighton Police Chief M. R. Shelton, who has seen the "things" personally, said the UFO's reappear there every three to four days. Within the triangle are at least six other towns where nighttime aerial phenomena have been reported in the past two days. Ellis, 15 miles west of Hays, reported five UFOs visible at the same time in the predawn hours Thursday. Along with positive sightings, most verified by police officers, there have been a few even more unusual reports. A Hays police dispatcher said one citizen called in to report a craft with something like strings or "parachutes" hanging below them. "We even had one with little skis reported on it," the officer said. SHELTON, whose men have seen the red and white lights frequently, said every time he has seen it, "I'm dumbfounded and think, 'What the hell is it?'" Dan Garcia, an investigator for the Unidentified Flying Object Bureau in Oklahoma City, said Thursday he believed the object sighted southwest of Dighton was a mother ship. "The reason we think the mother ship is at Dighton is that there has not been a single report of a ship heading toward the site southwest of Dighton," Garcia said. "They have all been going away." Garcia, who spent a weekend in Dighton several weeks ago, said there seems to be a pattern in the movements of the objects. "The only thing that ties the reports together is the three reservoirs in the area of Russell, Stockton and Hays," Garcia explained. They (the objects) have been reported previously to draw water from large lakes and reservoirs." PS... the Si's are pointing to water reservoirs to underline my message to humans of "water and the attack" (Agnes, Man, S. Dakota, Luzon, & now Pacific.) Ted 8-18-72 my triangle!! Okay now, Zirb, hang a left up here at Lyons. PHILLIPSBURG DIGHTON LYONS Triangle!! Wichita Eagle TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS..... I sometimes think this particular file will never end. THIS IS A SHOCKER! To me, anyway. Because I used two techniques only on Cleveland-Akron to teach it (the area) to pay attention to UFO's and PK Men. One was the 4 huge UFO's reflecting sun's rays onto the area. The other was The Deadly Triangle... a BRAND NEW TECHNIQUE THE SI'S GAVE ME SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, JUST BEFORE THE APOLLO SHOT. Now note here... that the TRIANGLE area represents UFO sightings! (But over Kansas... not Cleveland-Akron)...? My theory: the Si's often "talk" by "acting" out something... and the fact this got into print and forwarded to me... probably means they are telling me I am on the right track by my use of the Deadly Triangle. (This Triangle was the devastating force I drew back from using when with the two government radar experts on the Chesapeake Bay area.) Owens === Page 12 of 22 UFO Charges Sheriff's Officers In Riley County Special to The Eagle MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Two Riley County sheriff's officers said an unidentified flying object charged them early Wednesday after they turned off the red lights on their patrol car, coming as close as a mile. Officers Larry Henry, 35, and E. J. Bernard, 25, said they observed the UFO near Randolph, Kan., in northern Riley County. They described it as triangular in shape, with a long, pointed front white, in color with a yellow halo around it, and a blue flame shooting out the rear. The officers pulled their car off the road after the sighting, and turned on their flashing lights. The object appeared to shy away. When they turned their lights off the object started coming toward their car. The officers estimated it came as close as a mile away before disappearing. The officers reported four other sightings during the early-morning hours, and similar sightings were reported by law officers in Shawnee, Clay, Franklin and Wabaunsee counties. Henry and Bernard said the object made no noise, but orange and red flames appeared when it turned. They took two rolls of film of the object, but their camera apparently was set incorrectly, and the negatives were black. Similar sightings have been reported recently in about a dozen locations in western Kansas. (1) Aug. 28, 1972 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS... In the previous xerox, enclosed, you will see where the "pattern of UFO sightings" is triangular. In his clipping, you will see where the UFO's themselves, as seen by police officers all over Kansas, are triangular. To me, this is most significant... inasmuch as the UFO's taught me the "Deadly Triangle" technique as I returned from Ohio... and then I used, with absolutely devastating effect. (As mentioned in previous communications.) I do have a theory about this. It is my belief... that when I use the "Deadly Triangle"... (and remember, it is so devastating that I refused to use it on the tremendous Radar Demonstration I gave... for fear of what it might do to the Chesapeake Bay area)... it is a signal, acts as a telepathic signal, which brings in the deadly Triangular UFO's onto my target (Hurricane Agnes; Cleveland's Week of Horror; etc.) As a matter of passing interest... the UFO's have instructed me to use the Deadly Triangle against my now 15 PK'd pro football teams... JUST ONE TIME... that is, in just one game... THE EFFECT TO LAST FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON. I have begun putting this program into operation, against the Rams, the Colts, etc., some time ago. The object is not the winning or losing of games, primarily... it is the stripping of teams of key players... Roman Gabriel, Bubba Smith, etc. (2) Note: Hundreds and hundreds of people have written me, telling me how well their discs work! Am enclosing a few samples for you to see, from time to time. Ted. Owens NOTE: -An article will soon be forthcoming on my work in National Tattler.

TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS.... These clips, are further evidences of the psi-force technique I am using to cause insects, rodents, animals and fish (and people) to do strange things... like the millions of swarming mice in Australia; like the giant turtles attacking people in Florida, for the first time in history; like the "plague" of grasshoppers that just struck Texas...and so forth. (Also Nature itself has turned its creatures against humans, because of what the humans have done to Nature.) - Now, I thought you would like to know...an offer has been made to me, to go to Russia. And not through usual State Department channels, either. The offer designated my being "smuggled" to Russia through an "underground" system. - The Si's have informed me...that I have done well...in using their various psi-force or "PK" mechanisms...to produce many different kinds of miracles (rather a miracle in itself...working with hurricanes; lightning; space shots; people; animals; insects; rain and floods; drought...and so on and on. Now they tell me...they are "upping my power". Moving me to a higher point on the psi-force spectrum. Soon I am to begin working in a medium which only top astronomers such as Dr. Hynek would understand...changing and affecting the paths of planets and stars...working in outer space...with the Sun, the Moon, and other planets. You know, I used to be in show business, long years ago...and I used to stop the show by flicking open a foot-long Italian stiletto and throwing it fifteen feet through the straw hat on top of my wife's head. As a joke, the MC used to say: "Now what will he do for an encore?" Well, I had been wondering what I would "do for an encore" after controlling the last Apollo mission (called in advance to Dr. Hynek; then controlling a huge radar station (FAA) with my mind...confirmed in writing by a government expert who was there; and now slapping Cleveland silly with my psi-force techniques, first notifying the scientists in specific detail what I was going to do, then doing it.... so this is the "encore"...now...moving from earth to affect outer space with my mind, directed by the UFO intelligences with which I work. I'll try and keep you all informed. If you want to be sure to be informed...you'd better send me some money, to ante up in this private game. I need some help, as I've said many times...and only two people have helped, Evelyn and George. That's it. Out of 35 people. Either you put a value on what I am doing, and am keeping you informed of...or you do not. - Now, 6 scientists...the two miracles I wanted to do for you several weeks ago, and which fell through because I couldn't get through to you on the phone...one was: I was going to give you the choice of which you wanted to win, Bobby Fisher, or Spassky. At that time Spassky was winning, and easily. I was going to ask Dr. Hynek, or Dr. Fogel...you want Fisher to win? But I couldn't get through on the phone. (When I am "hot" on a miracle, the mail is far too slow...which is why it isn't stupid for SOMEBODY to set up a "hot-line" for me)...so anyway I decided to give the Russians a look at real psi-force...and I "hit" Spassky with certain PK mechanisms...to confuse his mind. And it has worked beautifully. Of course, this has no value whatsoever...because I couldn't get through to Hynek and Fogel to tell them what I was doing...but I ATTACKED SPASSKY'S MIND! All right...now the reason I am bringing this up is...IF THE RUSS ARE SO FAR AHEAD OF US IN PSI-FORCE TECHNIQUES...WHY COULDN'T THEIR EXPERTS HAVE FUZZED UP FISHER'S MIND...AS I HAVE DONE TO SPASSKY'S MIND? (I refer you to the book, "Psychic Discoveries Behind The Iron Curtain".) Hell, if they can't knock out Fisher's mind, just one single chess player...as I have done Spassky's... I can assure you THAT THEY ARE NOT SO FAR ADVANCED AT ALL. And coming from me, you'd better believe it. Owens 8/25/72 === Page 14 of 22 ① 8/21/72 - The Si's and I are daily working to rid the earth of war, and weapons of war. This is one direct result! # Celeste Lashes Gas-Laden Atoll HONOLULU (UPI)--Hurricane Celeste hurled 5-foot-high waves and 150 mile-per-hour winds Sunday onto Johnston Island, the 44-foot-high coral atoll storehouse for 13,000 tons of lethal nerve and mustard gas. No one remained on the United States' mid-pacific death-gas arsenal to report on the storm's effects. All 580 men were evacuated because "to remain would be too great a risk." The National Weather Service said the howling wind and torrents of waves would strip the land of trees and signs as well as cause "very severe and extensive roofing and glass damage to structures." Hurricane Celeste continued churning northward while Tropical Storm Diana plied through the Pacific alongside the island of Hawaii. Civil Defense personnel began cleanup operations on the big island, brushed by the storm. A Weather Service spokesman said surf conditions on Johnston Island would result in "major erosion of beach lands" and "major damage to structures near the shore due to flooding and battery action." Most of the atoll is 6 to 10 feet above sea level and the Weather Service said such terrain would be "flooded as far inland as six miles." At first the Air Force said there would be no evacuation because "facilities are adequate." But as the hurricane picked up ferocity, officials changed their minds. "All munitions and equipment was secured to the maximum extent possible prior to evacuation" the Air Force said. A reconnaissance flight was sent to the island to decide if, and how, the men would be able to return. If the runway was not usable, it was speculated that an advance team would have to return by sea. The island, about 700 miles southeast of here, is controlled by the military, and there are no commercial flights there. Its top-secret facilities are shrouded in mystery, and newsmen are not allowed, but it is known that the gases are stored in artillery shells. When the gas was transferred from Okinawa, an Army spokesman said it would be stored in existing earth-covered steel bunkers called "igloos." A military spokesman would not say where, at what depth, or at what elevation the bunkers are located.

The silvery spacecraft was enclosed in a big white plastic nose-cone on top of an Atlas-Centaur rocket. Project officials Sunday reported everything ready for a 6:28 a.m. EDT blastoff. The 135-foot rocket was programmed to propel the observatory at 15,781-miles per hour into a 460-mile-high orbit. From that vantage point its telescopes will have an unmatched view of the universe. Only a tiny proportion of the light generated in space reaches ground observatories. The rest is filtered out or blurred by earth's murky atmosphere. The 4,900-pound spacecraft is the last Orbiting Astronomical Observatory (OAO) in a hard-luck, four-shot series that cost $36 million. Only one of the three previous OAO's has been successful and the space agency has gone allout to see that Copernicus works. The satellite, the most complex space observatory ever built, cost $82 million. Project officials said it should operate for five years, providing scientists with answers to some of the most fundamental questions about the universe. Its primary astronomical eye is a 32-inch telescope designed by Princeton University to study the ultraviolet starlight that doesn't reach earth. Copernicus also carries three X-ray telescopes provided by University College of London. (2) All the other "Ogos" (4) they shot up...I hit with PK...and brought down three of them, to show the govt.

Sincerely Quentin Rosemont 1961 Dayton St. Aurora Colo. 80010 === Page 16 of 22 COPY OPERATION DAVID WATSON Sept. 1, 1972 Dear David: Today I worked over the map twice (morning)...and was mulling over in my mind more methodology with which to get a "lock" on this sustained heat problem which I must control with psi-force for several months...and the Si's suddenly communicated with me. They instructed me to make separate, individual discs...for you to PLANT in your fields, at 3-foot depth...and as evenly dispersed as possible, over your field territory. (I do not know how big your farm is). I am to charge and code the disc for creative, growing, fertility power. After the discs are planted, two things will happen...each disc will radiate this strange, other-dimensional fertile growing power in every direction...causing better crop growth...MORE crop growth...and better yet, the "field of discs" will act as a huge magnet, drawing proper weather conditions to your property as the need arises; i.e., the best weather for the particular crop that is coming in. As a sort of analogy...(I can see this plainly in my mind, and understand it easily...yet it is difficult to put into English)...the U.S. govt. has put huge electronic "ears" into a large compact area...dispersed over that area...to form one great big huge "listening ear" into outer space. Well, by putting these powerful discs, interspersed over your territory as evenly as possible...you are, in effect, building one great big huge powerful disc...if you see what I mean. And this great "disc machine", if you will...will RADIATE psi-force power, as I direct it into the field...also it will DRAW the right weather, acting with infinite intelligence in the whole matter. Not knowing the size of your field, or fields...I'd better charge and code 20 discs, for this new "mechanism". (Never been used before). They are enclosed. Please carry this out as soon as possible. Any questions on it, either call me or write quickly. Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 48, Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 6 ---------- NOTE: TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS....I am now working with Canadian farmers, for the first time in my career...in weather control to help bring in their crops. Not long ago they were suffering from drought...and contacted me for rain. I made it rain plenty, and their crops were saved. Their next crops needs different weather...sunny and warm weather clear into November (it is supposed to get cold this month, September...which could ruin their present type of crops). Now, I have many times "hit" an area to bring rain or drought...and it brought it, whatever...and that was that. But this is the first time I have ever attempted to HOLD the same weather pattern for months. I knew you would be interested to see the above intelligence...knowing how consistent I am in bringing in "miracles"...and seeing how the Si's work with me on projects. If I leave a key mechanism out of a project...then the Si's communicate, and tell me. If I do not have a necessary key element in my "kitbag" of some 150 mechanisms, then the Si's give me a NEW MECHANISM TO USE. Will keep you informed on all of this. I am very happy...to be doing something creative at this point...instead of clobbering some city, or pro team. (Well, of course, I am clobbering a few teams now (15) ...but still this working with Canadian farmers is a step in the right direction.) Ted Owens === Page 17 of 22 Results (Book) answer f.

I'd wondered what the government reaction would be...to a dozen planes crashing in the Bay area here, and the Forrestal burning...as a result of my radar demonstration. In the past year, as now, they had two alternatives to PK Man...(1) take me and family, subsidize us so I could carry out Si demonstrations and work FOR the U.S., or simply destroy me, the only, repeat ONLY, human link between the UFO entities and the human race. Well, yesterday I got my answer. The Internal Revenue Service contacted me at my home...their men came here (and remember, this is a tiny, teensy place, six blocks by six blocks IS the town, isolated on the tip of the peninsula)... and asked enough key questions to make the FBI blue with envy. I can only assume they are preparing a case against me, to clobber me. They clobbered me last year...when I didn't have two dollars to rub together... by notifying me I owed $300 on the previous year's income tax. Where they got that I'll never know! They were completely wrong...but I can't fight City Hall, economically, anyway...so I went to the little bank here and borrowed $300 and paid it. Yesterday he wanted to know how I made it without having a job. I explained that a friend, George Delaven, had made it possible...by loaning me a hundred or two hundred now and then...until I make a deal with a pro football team. Also, of course, some people send me a few dollars as a donation to my work...in order to get a disc. And that's it. All of it. So the impression that I get is...the government is winding up to destroy me via the income tax route, like they would a member of Mafia or the Syndicate. If they do...it will be a frame...but I've been framed before, in Fort Worth, Texas...and you'd better believe it! If the government tells me now I owe yea hundred dollars in income tax (although I've been unable to find a job and haven't worked) then I am sunk. I have about a hundred dollars, and that is it. So if suddenly you stop hearing from me...then you know the government agencies have destroyed me...one way or the other...and I've gone as far as I can go. I'll have no car or possessions, no money...and my family and I will be trying to get somewhere else from here, to start over. Maybe that's what the government is after...to get me out of the Chesapeake Bay area...where all the planes have crashed. Well, frankly, I know it would be a terrible error on the part of the government. Because the Si's will retaliate, in their own, inimitable, terrible way! And in proportion to the damage done to me and mine. By now, I do know the Si's, and how they think and reason. Their human representative can be clobbered, true. But...God help those that do the clobbering! Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 2 of 11 (2) Oct. 25, 1972 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS.... This is a big, GIANT demonstration-experiment using a combination of psi-force, and my UFO friends. I propose to CREATE summerlike weather this winter...warm, pleasant winter...little or no snow or cold. In this manner the fuel shortage (see clip) need not happen, and people in the U.S. will not suffer. To do this...am going to communicate with my four huge giant UFO's...and arrange for one (or two) on the far side of the earth) to reflect the sun's rays onto THIS side of the earth, these rays to then be reflected downward onto OUR side of the earth by the one or two huge UFO's on THIS side. Note in some of the weather clips... huge air masses were being warmed in the sun... to create this spring weather in winter!! Whether my understanding of the sun is correct or not...am going to use the four huge UFO's positioned around this earth...to furnish heat to the U.S. this winter! So that the U.S. can have one of the warmest winters in its history! I will also be using various psi-force mechanisms, mentally, to bring this about. But let one thing be understood completely. If I go broke here at Cape Charles, and cease to function... or harassed by government agencies in any way, so that I cannot function...then I will be unable to keep the U.S. warm this winter, and the people will suffer accordingly. I will have to work at this EVERY DAY (keeping the U.S. warm), and have an enormous amount of energy to bring it off. Any worry or distraction drawing off my energy...will make the effort on my part useless. I will keep you fully informed on progress made. Ted Owens (PK Man) (Signature) === Page 3 of 11 Oct. 13, 1972 SCIENTISTS I have received, many times...strange phenomena which has occurred to people who have received my "Si disc"...and at times I have had "patterns" show up in their written letters to me. For instance, in one 30-day period, four different people, from four different points of the U.S., wrote to me that they had wakened at night to discover people in their room! And they described the people. And all four reports tallied; were the same! Now, here again...is an interesting phenomenon. Nadine Morris wrote to me Oct. 5, 1972...about seeing "one" with a "large single eye". (See letter). A few days later I received a letter from Polly Martin in Fairbanks, Alaska who also describes seeing "an eye...just one and it had a shine to it"...she has the feeling that someone is watching her "and I again sense the eye." (See her letter) Two different people, who do not know each other...both experiencing THE SAME unusual phenomena...after getting their disc! AN EYE! Finally, note the paragraph in Polly Martin's letter: "We have a very strange situation up here this year (in Alaska), our first eight inches of snow came at about the usual time but for some reason or other the trees refuse to give up their leaves. So all over town are trees some with fall colored leaves and some with leaves still green. It is so weird it gives me a decidedly uneasy feeling. I don't recall ever seeing anything like it before." (See her letter) All right. How do I enter into this? I'll tell you. Some time ago I entered into a weather-control experiment with Mr. David Watson, in Canada...first to make it rain; and I was successful. Then he needed heat for farmer's crops until the end of September, which meant I had to keep sustained heat over the Canadian area (he lives in Saskatchewan, town of Oxbow). Well, I put up maps on my walls and worked hard, day in and day out...with psi-force mechanisms...to keep it warm over that Canadian area. I ALSO INFORMED MR. WATSON THAT NO MATTER IF IT DID GET COLD, OTHER DIMENSIONAL EFFECTS WHICH I WAS INTRODUCING WOULD STILL KEEP THE CROPS SAFE. I.e., the cold would not have the usual effect over the Canadian plant life! Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 4 of 11 r. 20 + pic OK ① Oct. 5th. '72 Dear Mr. Owens, Thanks for the disc for the boy. He is proud of it. Maybe it will help make a better boy of him. He is seven years old. Of course he does need more discipline from me. We have been getting lots of rain that we really don't need. Why not send it where it's needed? This year has been the driest year Ark. had in 40 years. That is true, but how would I know if you sent this rain. This clipping might be of interest to you. Seems they are still buzzing around up there. What could possibly interest them; unless it would be the two nuclear power plants in that area. Another one will be under construction soon at Dardanelle. The Ark. river runs by there. I was discouraged when I wrote that last letter to you. I'm fine now. They have stopped kicking my brains loose. Now they seem to be applying some bone-like material to the back and sides of my head. No doubt, a waste of effort on their part. They will really fry me one of these days. Not that it matters much. They have talked to me vaguely. Once or twice. I can see all kinds of sights now. Who is the big old Indian with the fancy headdress? Another spirit guide? Who knows, I might make a pretty good medium now. Unfortunately, I've never had any experience with hypnosis. Always been interested, though. I saw one with the large single eye; dark blue in color. Cyclops? I will have to read up on mythology. That is just one of many things I don't know anything about. I don't know why they bother with me. Well, this letter sounds about as ridiculous as the rest of them. If I mentioned any of this to Don he wouldn't believe a word of it. He would think I'm paranoid. I hope you don't think so. I'm not, so far. He and I take entirely different views of most things. We are incompatible in just about every way you can think of. Thats what makes life interesting, I guess. He wants me to go back to Ark. with him. I refuse to go back to the North Pole with that..**! He can't dominate me anymore. Did you know that some humans are more alien than anything from space? I rec. your letter mentioning your church. Thats what this $$ is for. I would like to go up there some time. I'd also like to visit the A.R.E. Peace.... Nadine Morris. 3160 E. Riverside Dr. Ft Myers, Florida 33901 === Page 5 of 11 Find other 'eye' mention!! C. 10 Pri October 10, 1972 Birch Park, B-5 Fairbanks, Alaska 99701 2 Dear Ted: GEE WHIZ!!!!!!!!!! I am finding emotions and feelings I never knew existed. I will tell you about it and let you decide if it is for real or just some more of my over active imagination. It took two months for me to get your book thats why you haven't heard from me, I wanted to wait until I had read the book. While I was waiting I kept trying to reach something through meditation. I thought it was a little odd but each time I was drawn almost as if I was being maneuvered to turn to the north west. I sensed something was there but could see nothing. THEN THE BOOK CAME: I am an impatient reader, I can't wait to see what is on the other side of the page so I go through it like a streak of lightening, then I go back and do it again slowly, after the third reading I began to really feel it. That evening during meditation, with my eyes closed I just barely glimpsed, or sensed or something the bare outline of a face with slightly sad look but I got a deffinite NO--I took this to mean that I wouldn't be acceptable for visits or conversations. Later I picked up an eye, just one and it had a shine to it like it might be made out of stones or jewels. I will be sitting at my desk working on something when I get this eerie feeling that someone is looking at me and always it comes from the northwest and I again sense the eye. This feeling of not being alone is with me all the time and I have started talking to whatever it is just like we were old friends and it gives me a wonderful feeling of wellbeing. Is it true that the magnetic influence on psychics would be greater up here because we are nearer to the North Pole? I get bad vibrations on most of the ones we seem to be attracting but some of them are great like Jean Dixon. Have the Si ever concentrated their efforts up here? There has been very little discussion on UFO. I don't recall any proven appearences. Is your book "I worked for the UFO Creatures" on the market yet. I would dearly love to be able to come down for your autohypnosis course but it is out of the question at the present time. If it is important to my silent friends perhaps I will manage later. I wish they could teach me how to zap myself down for the evening there are so many questions I would like to ask you. Every since I can remember I have had this driving urge to learn about new things and this latest adventure is no exception. === Page 6 of 11 of David Watson!! We have a very strange situation up here this year, our first eight inches of snow came at about the usual time but for some reason or other the trees refuse to give up their leaves. So all over town are trees some with fall colored leaves and some with leaves still green. It is so weird it gives me a decidedly uneasy feeling. I don't recall ever seeing anything like it before. Do you ever go other places to give lectures or autohypnosis training? If we could get enough interested people lined up would you consider coming up here? I'm not sure I could find enough to make it worth your time since we are more or less a depressed area due to the delay in the pipe line, but I sure could give it the good 'Ole try. Would it be worth my while to pick up a book on autohypnosis and if so could you recommend an author? My best to you always, Polly Polly A. Martin === Page 7 of 11 "Midwest" Oct 20, 1972 Phila Inquirer # Lab Blast Releases Radioactive Uranium Special to The Inquirer And Chicago Sun Times CHICAGO -- An explosion in a research building at the Argonne National Laboratory loosed radioactive uranium and plutonium and caused the evacuation of an entire building by 200 employees, the nuclear study center has revealed. The blast, which occurred Tuesday but was kept secret for 24 hours, slightly injured three atomic engineers and wrecked a $25,000 research machine, an Argonne spokesman said. THE NUCLEAR contamination outside the room in which the explosion occurred was slight, and the rest of the five-story chemical engineering building was back in use Wednesday, the spokesman said. The cause of the explosion has not been determined, he said. Robert Jackson, spokesman for the laboratory, near Lemont, Ill., said the explosion occurred inside a "glove box," a device in which workers perform experiments with radioactive materials. The experimenter looks into the glove box through thick safety glass and works by inserting his hands into lead-lined sleeves and gloves inside. Jackson said no one was working with the device when it exploded and no one was known to have used it in the last two weeks. TWO OF THE engineers injured were in the same room, Jackson said. One was within a foot or two of the glove box and the other was seven or eight feet away. Jackson said the explosion blew open the safety door to the room, and another engineer outside the room was injured when he slipped and fell on his way to investigate the blast. The laboratory declined to name the three men. Jackson said they were treated for minor cuts and were back at work Thursday after apparently receiving no dangerous doses of radiation. Oct. 20, 1972 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS.......... Here is a fine "hit". Lest month, Sept. 17, 1972, issue of National News Exploiter...was an article on my work. In the article (attached) it states: "Owens offered some predictions for the coming months.....There will be an accidental nuclear explosion in the United States, probably in the Midwest." Well, here it is, as you can read for yourselves. I am delighted...that it was no bigger than it was. Very mysterious, too. No one was working with the device, and it hadn't been used in the last two weeks. So...how could it explode all by itself, eh? ---------- Incidentally, I think I mentioned it before...but for one of the best "psychic hits" you've EVER seen or known about, get out your copy of Brad Steiger's book, "What The Seers Predict For 1972" and turn to the chapter on my work. Note that I predicted "terrible floods" for this year, 1972. Then flip the page and let your hair stand on end...as I spell it out! Water itself, as an intelligent entity, turning against mankind to attack humans! Then think of Hurricane Agnes and the East Coast flattened by floods; West Dakota floods; Man, West Virginia floods; devastating floods in Mexico and the Phillipines...and so on and on! Matter of fact, a special television special was presented...entitled "The Year Of The Flood!" This is the kind of psychic ability...greatest in the entire history of the world...that the U.S. government, instead of making friends with and working with...is preparing to smash and destroy. Well, why not? The U.S. government has smashed and destroyed Viet Nam in order to "save" it. With that kind of reasoning, and logic...you can understand it. Can't you?

In closing...this is typical poltergeist phenomena...and typical Si phenomena. * Owens (PK MAN) PS...my best friend, George DeLeven, sent me this clipping from Des Plaines, Illinois. UPI Telephoto Cleveland Mayor Ralph Perk's hair burns after sparks from an acetylene torch he was using hit his head. He was using the torch to cut a ribbon and a metal bar opening the American Society of Metals convention in the city's Convention Center. Apparently neither the mayor nor persons around him realized what was happening because they were laughing. The fire was quickly put out by convention officials who slapped the mayor on the head. Later, the mayor said he felt his head getting warm, but he didn't realize why.

Your disc has improved my cancer beyond belief and my Dr. is amazed at my speedy recovery. I told him I have outside help and he said that I definitely have outside help. I didn't go into detail about the disc or the space people. I wear my disc all the time and would not be without it except on rare occasions and that is for a few minutes. Could you have the space people improve my E.S.P. and thought transmission? I would like to have some astro projection. Am I asking too much? I am not asking these things because I am sending you a check. The check is for your church, keep up your good work. God Bless you always. Your friend, Bob.

August 31, 1972 Dear Dr. Hynek: Re the recent file I sent to you...documented file whereby I actually "controlled" the city of Cleveland, Ohio, with my mind...for a week. (Just as I had previously "controlled" an FAA radar installation here on this peninsula with my mind, also documented.) I'd like to point out to you certain facts which would absolutely indicate that what happened to Cleveland, Ohio, could be no accident, nor any coincidence...not even precognition working. It had to be my mental attack. First...remember, I sent you a specific list WELL BEFORE Cleveland had its week of horror. This list indicated the different, and many things I would DO to Cleveland. Following which, most of the conditions I had set forth...actually happened to Cleveland. Now, the very VARIETY of things I'd listed...would, or should, I think, preclude "coincidence"...i.e., that the blinding heat, lightning attacks, nutty people phoning up City Hall, and so on...might just happen, as sort of a coincidence. One of my set conditions might have happened coincidentally, perhaps...but not all the things that happened! there would be I said I'd cause terrible heat...so Cleveland had heat so hot the sidewalks buckled and fell apart. I said I'd cause lightning to attack...so lightning hit and set fire a city bus with a load of people on it, and lightning hit various people also. I said I'd cause people to do strange things...so you saw the newsclip for yourself stating that many people called the City Hall, talking about hearing "strange voices" and "voices from UFO's" and being secret agents, etc. to prove my reality as half-Si I can do no better, even then these last two demonstrations, Radar and Cleveland. I said specifically what I was going to do...in advance...and did it. In Radar, I had government experts present, and worked on scientific apparatus. On Cleveland, you and the other scientists were notified well in advance...what I was going to do...before it happened to Cleveland. Tell me, how much more could you want, in the way of absolute, concrete proof...that I am half-Si...that my mind has been altered to produce effects this world has never seen? In closing...there is no limit...to what I can produce...with my powers. As easily as I can control a radar installation, I can control Cleveland, a huge city. As easily as I can control Cleveland...I could control a State. As easily as I could control a State, I could control a country...even a group of countries. I realize that sounds like a full-blown paranoid statement...but how many paranoids that you know...can produce actual, documented miracles to back up their "delusions of grandeur"? Cause & effect Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 48, Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 I believe truly I should win that Enquirer prize. Ted. Owens Dear Ted: You could even win easily if at the time of our next panel meeting you could cause a UFO apparition sufficiently strong to be photographed. I will believe and close my camera ready - fontana, Fla - about 1st week in Nov. JHA Possibly a great case of precognition - but not necessarily cause and effect. How do you separate the two? === Page 2 of 23 Sept. 11, 1972 Dear Dr. Hynek: Today I had my heartiest laugh in a long while. I received your "letter", unsigned, scribbled along the margins of my last letter. Well, some initials are there...I suppose it was you writing. You know...I always accord you the dignity...of a regular letter, such as this one. At any rate, we now begin at a new point in time. First...please understand...and inform anyone who should know...that I do not want the Inquirer prize money. I withdrew from it. Why? Because your suggestion angered me. The suggestion that I have the S1's appear in person for you at a meeting, to be photographed. This perhaps has to be the most ridiculous suggestion of all time. I do not tell the S1's procedure; they tell me procedure. Least of all will they allow any third parties, even Dr. Hynek, dictate rules and procedures to them. However, do not jump to any wrong conclusions at this point in the letter...they are going to give you a demonstration! Before we get to that...I want to get to the part of your "letter" where you state (with relation to my past phenomena) "possibly a great case of precognition - but not necessarily cause and effect. How do you separate the two?" It would seem obvious to me...that anyone, even a non-sophisticated highschool pupil...would be able to separate the two, given access to my files. First of all...as Kinder pointed out in one of the Saga articles...how could I be simply precognitive...on now almost 400 cases and projects? Isn't this a training the "precos" just a bit? You should be familiar with the Apollo shot, last one. I called you before it went up, and told you I would give the astronauts fits, and try to knock out the power and communications. Well, I sent you the full file on it. I did exactly as I said I would do. Furthermore, you noted all the "firsts" freakish things that happened, ever...on space flights. How would my "simple precog" pick that up? On the radar demonstration...which you have had ample opportunity to check out...along with the full file on it I sent you...I produced 25-50 UFO forms on the radar screen, plus innumerable strange strobes or spokes...which shouldn't have been on there, according to the radar expert with me. And I GOT THE STROBES ON PURPOSE, TELLING HIM THAT I WOULD TRY TO DO SO BY AFFECTING A POWERSURGE! How on earth...could you link up precognition with an upped mental power surge to produce multiple-strobes on a radar screen? Furthermore, I told the expert to watch the TV and papers...that my power, mental power, could possibly knock down planes and ships in the week or two following. FOUR MILITARY PLANES THEN CRASHED IN THE BAY AREA WITHIN FIVE DAYS. Precognition? Fooey. You are saying that when I asked him to get me to a radar screen...that I KNEW 25-50 UFO's would appear on it, precognitively; that multiple strobes would appear on it (that had no business being on there...tremendous power coming from our VERY LOCATION.); and finally, that I knew precognitively that, after my appearance at the radar installation...four planes would crash in five days! How ridiculous can you get? (At this point let me say that I consider myself the greatest psychic in the entire history of the world...not on the basis of opinion, but on the basis of performance...so that I allow myself the leeway of being eccentric enough to speak straight and honestly, without fear of University retaliation, or U.S. Government retaliation, or anything else.) In the Cleveland file...which I sent you...how do you explain that I outlined in advance...lightning attacks...and got lightning attacks! Does lightning, then, go along with the heat? === Page 3 of 23 I had thought lightning went with a different kind of weather. Also, if you will check with the weather people in Cleveland...then look at that list I sent you in advance...you will see that I stated "60-90 mile-per-hour winds" (on the May 30 letter to you). Cleveland had such winds...I just wasn't able to cover enough xeroxing cost to include it. There were power blackouts there...as I stipulated there would be, and all kinds of electrical disturbances...as I stipulated there would be. How you could make a precog case...out of this complicated, sophisticated psi-force attack on Cleveland? You could argue precog perhaps on one item, or two...heat and power blackouts...but how precog could you get...to go on and predict lightning attacks, wind storms, people acting crazily, and so forth (as outlined in the newspaper clips)? That one single point...my telling you in advance that I'd cause people to act crazily...then it actually happening, with many calls to City Hall...well, you read the newsclip...people acting absolutely nuttily. This would fit no precognition pattern I've ever heard of! Do this...make an offer of a million dollars to any psychic in the world...who could precognitively state that people would act crazily (and report voices from UFO's; secret agents; etc., as from my file newsclip) in any certain city in the world (I stipulated Cleveland, remember?)...within 90 days...and see if you ever have to pay the million. I assure you, it is quite safe. Tell them also just for good measure to predict a lightning attack in that certain city; plus wind storms; plus side-walk buckling heat...to go along with and qualify the "people acting crazily" part. Ha! I have already told you...the Si's gave me photographs of them. If you do not believe the photos you have, that I sent you...that is no concern of mine. They are quite real; are fact. So why do you need another photograph? I tell you, I really resented your wording on this: "you could win it (the prize money) easily if at the time of our next panel meeting you could cause a UFO apparition sufficiently strong and close to be photographed..." Why, certainly, Dr. Hynek...and I could win the prize money quite easily if I produced an actual UFO in your meeting room...or perhaps made it snow next July 4th in Buenos Aires, Argentina... You see, Dr. Hynek...I'm peculiar, and I guess a little touched. I consider my brains and knowledge and experience...on a par with many PhD's and Dr.'s...at the very least. And of course, if this were in fact true...then you would treat me with a bit more dignity, and respect. I regret that I have no degree, and a Dr. before my name...so that you could comfortably communicate with me as you would another scientist, or even at least let's say...a member of Mensa, which I am. One more point on "how do you separate the two". Years ago...when I wrote CIA a letter and told them that "Nature" had told me to write that it would affect the electromagnetic condition of the South Pole...and get it into the newspapers in such a way that it would PROVE my connection with it, "Nature", and its reality. Afterward...a UFO appeared over two South Pole scientific expeditions, affected their EM apparatus, and hovered for 45 minutes for pictures to be taken. Now, how in hell could I have pulled THAT out of a precognitive hat? Call Ed Ames, in Brewer, Maine...I told him I'd communicate with a UFO and ask it to appear within two weeks over Brewer-Bangor, and be reported in the newspapers to validate it. It appeared within a week, was seen and reported on the front page of the Brewer newspapers. To call such a happening "precognition" would be absurd! Enough. Now to get back to what I am going to do. (Incidentally...I was going to show you TWO miracles, some time back...but couldn't get you or Dr. Pogel by phone...so I went ahead, being too angered to write...and confused Spassky's mind. Then I decided to switch things around for the second miracle...and instead of aiming PK at the Russian athletes, I aimed at the U.S. athletes. The results were fantastic. Of course I have no documentation on this...but what difference does it make anyway? I can't get anywhere with the ton of documentation that I do have. And I might say that the Olympics are === Page 4 of 23 perfect for psi-force experimentation! Because everything is measured in time and distance...and can be so easily checked, result-wise. Perhaps some of my other contacts...who are not on your own "precog" hangup...recognized my now-familiar psi-force attack pattern...in the Olympic foul-ups. All right. The SI's were quite angry (if they could be said to have that emotion)... at your stipulation that they appear "in person" at your meeting to have a nice snapshot made, Just as I was angry. So they will GIVE you a demonstration. Of their own choosing (which is the only way they operate anyway). The NATO WAR GAMES open on Thursday, Sept. 14. I quote the newspaper: "Armed forces of 11 North Atlantic allies open the biggest combined land, sea and air maneuvers in their peacetime history next Thursday. The war games continued until Sept. 28." So the SI's tell me to inform you...that they will attack these war exercises...with various means at their command...to knock down airplanes and copters; sink ships; and cause innumerable freakish things to happen and occur (as in the Apollo flight, except this time there will be more personnel involved). They will try to interfere with radar, with EM equipment, with radio and communications. And they will do it in your honor...and any other scientists who cannot tell precog from cause-and-effect. In summing up...I disassociate myself from the Inquirer thing, completely, as a result of your today's communication...and the SI's are going to give you, and the NATO forces, a lesson which will be long remembered! Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 5 of 23 Virginian-Pilot, Monday, Sept. 11, 1972 A5 # NATO War Games Open Thursday ## 'Strong Exercise' Biggest Ever BRUSSELS (AP) -- Armed forces of 11 North Atlantic allies open the biggest combined land, sea and air maneuvers in their peacetime history next Thursday. The war games continue until Sept. 28. About 64,000 men, 700 planes, 300 warships, and 60 merchant vessels are taking part. There will be exercises on both sides of the Atlantic but mainly along Europe's western coast from Portugal to Norway's far north. Called "Strong Express," the exercise is one in a long series of maneuvers designed to give national forces experience in working together -- and to show Moscow that it can be done. Leaders of the alliance say their solidarity over 23 years has been a major element in preventing Soviet aggression. Convinced that the alliance does not get enough credit, they have invited about 200 newsmen to view the games. Reporters from Communist countries have not been asked, but military spokesman said they would not be barred from news conferences at headquarters in the remote Norwegian village of Bardufoss. The "Shield 72" maneuvers of the Warsaw Pact will probably coincide with "Strong Express." The Czechoslovak Communist Party newspaper Rude Pravo said the maneuvers were to "help improve the defense capability" of the Warsaw Pact. It did not say when "Shield 72" will start. Soviet troops were expected to make up a great part of the units in "Shield 72." Independent-minded Romania probably will send only staff officers. "Strong Express" comes more than two years after the big Soviet exercise "Okean" showed that Moscow's growing naval power was now great enough to assert itself in the Atlantic as well as the Mediterranean. "Okean" brought together 80 ships at its peak. Gen. H.F. Zeiner Gundersen, Norway's army chief, expects Soviet naval vessels and trawlers to appear during the allied maneuvers. This has become common. They will be trying to keep an eye on a whole panoply of allied naval strength, from carriers to hovercraft. The allies will practice landings, submarine and antisubmarine warfare, the protection of convoys, the laying of mines and countermine measures. Planes will pretend to attack from carriers and will patrol from land bases. Attention will focus on Norway's far north, an increasingly important strategic area. A line from Greenland to Iceland to Scotland is the forward limit of American defense. The Russians have made their northern fleet the most important of the four they maintain. It includes the largest number of their Y-class strategic submarines, each armed with 16 nuclear missiles that have a range estimated at 1,750 miles. "Strong Express" will include a landing in the Tromsoe area of northern Norway by 3,000 U.S., British, and Dutch Marines. They will fight an "invading" force played by Norwegian troops. Actually, the potential invaders are the Soviet forces around Murmansk, 500 miles to the east. If the Marines fight through the Norwegian force, they will link up with an Allied Command Europe mobile force, one of two small integrated units in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Land, sea, and air groups will participate from the United States, Britain, Canada, Denmark, West Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, and Portugal. === Page 6 of 23 10/2/72 GEORGE ESPER SAIGON (AP) -- The New-News, largest cruiser a-al, steamed out of the Viet-amese War zone Sunday and headed for the Philippines with the bodies of 19 sailors killed in the worst U.S. naval disaster this year. Ten other men in her crew were wounded by the explosion in an 8-inch gun turret which racked the 21,000-ton warship off the northern sector of South Vietnam shortly after midnight. Many of her 1,300 crewmen were shaken from their sleep by the blast. The U.S. Navy, which termed the explosion accidental, announced that it had started an investigation to determine the cause. The Navy in Saigon said the exact extent of damage had not been determined. But if just one of the big shells exploded damage could have been extensive. Apparently the explosion was confined to the gun turret, one of three main batteries each housing three rapid-fire, 8-inch, 55-caliber guns. Repair crews will assess the damage at the naval base in Subic Bay, the Philippines. The bodies of the dead will be sent from there to their families. The 7th Fleet in Saigon did not identify the victims, saying this would be done by the Pentagon after their relatives had been notified. Spokesmen said first reports indicated that nine of the wounded were not in critical condition and were treated in the cruiser's own 28-bed hospital. A 10th man, who was critical was evacuated to Da Nang, then later transferred by plane to an intensive care ward at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines. The explosion occurred at 1 a.m. Saigon time (1 p.m. EDT Saturday) while the 700-foot-long cruiser was on a combat mission, firing at North Vietnamese positions in heavily contested Quang Tri Province just below the Demilitarized zone. Her position at the time was 13 miles north-northeast of Quang Tri city, four miles from the mouth of the Cua Viet River. In strikes during the 24 hours preceding the accident, the Navy said, the cruiser's big guns, which have a range of 15 miles, destroyed four North Vietnamese emplacements and damaged five others two miles west of Quang Tri city. Asked if there were any possibility North Vietnamese fire triggered the explosion, a 7th Fleet spokesman said: "The information we have indicates it was an internal explosion." A brief Navy statement termed it an accident. The cruiser is commanded by Capt. Walter F. Zartman. The ship is named after the port of Newport News, where she was built and commissioned in 1949. Although based in Norfolk, and the permanent flag ship of the U. S. 2nd Fleet operating off the U.S. East Coast, the Newport News was rushed to Vietnam waters last spring during a major naval and air buildup to counter North Vietnam's invasion of the South. The Newport News has ranged up and down the Vietnam coast, operating on both sides of the Demilitarized Zone, and led major naval raids on the North Vietnamese port of Haiphong on May 11 during her first combat mission since returning and again on Aug. 27. The latter raid was directed by Vice Adm. James L. Holloway 3rd, commander of the 7th Fleet, who was aboard the Newport News. The ship's extensive communications make her an ideal floating command post. The ship was deployed to Vietnam twice previously, in 1967 and 1969, the first combat of her career. The mission then was part of "Operation Sea Dragon," the 7th Fleet's efforts to slow the flow of war materials into South Vietnam, and also to provide gunfire support for allied troops operating below the DMZ. In addition to the main battery of nine 8-inch guns, the Newport News also carries secondary and antiaircraft batteries of 12 dual-purpose, 5-inch, 38-caliber guns, and four 3-inch, 50-caliber rapid fire guns. Also aboard are two rocket batteries. The Newport News can move in excess of 33 knots at full power and, the Navy says, is a city within herself, capable of generating 120,000 horsepower from four boilers, distilling 60,000 gallons of water a day and producing enough electricity to light a city of 40,000 people. The vessel is the last of 18 cruisers built by Newport News shipbuilders between 1902 and 1949. In other Indochina developments: * Maj. Gen. Alexander M. Haig, a special envoy of Presi- (See Cruiser, Page A2) Oct 2, 1972 Virginian-Pilot # Damaged Cruiser Steams for Port ## Navy Probes Blast That Killed 19 The Newport News was the biggest ship on the U.S. Navy's gun line in Southeast Asia. The spokesman said ordnance experts will board the warship on arrival at Subic, 90 miles northwest of Manila, to determine whether the vessel is safe for repairs. The explosion occurred while the 17,000-ton Newport News was firing in support of South Vietnamese troops in Quang Tri Province. The explosion wrecked the middle of the cruiser's three forward turrets, each of which house three 8-inch guns. It was the worst such accident aboard a U.S. Navy ship in Indochina waters since fire swept through the aircraft carrier Forrestal on July 29, 1967, killing 134 crewmen. Dr. HYNEK... the Sir's kept their word. This is it. (However, they chose to strike an alternate target.) Owens ICKMAN === Page 7 of 23 Oct. 7, 1972 Dr. Hynek... First, read Larry Bonko's column, attached hereto, xerox'd. Then, read over my letter to you. Then consider. The giant tankers collided the day after Bonko was here and took my taped statement of intent...that I would cause ships to collide, and attack the military exercises with my mind. That's one. Then the Newport News carrier, off Viet Nam...had a freak accident...and is limping home, badly bent. That's two. Then a brand new (to Viet Nam) F111 airplane vanished. It was not shot down...it just plain disappeared. This is a plane loaded with communications gear, so that it should be impossible for it to vanish, right? Now...you can argue that lots of planes have gone down in Viet Nam. Oh sure. Lots of copters and Phantoms. A Phantom is worth what? A million? A bit more, perhaps? Well, an F111 is a giant plane, worth fifteen million! That's three. Yesterday, in quick order...a nuclear sub, Tullibee, collided with a ship not far from here...just off Cape Hatteras. That's four. I can state unequivocally that the Si's (UFO's) have brought all of this about...and observe...tankers, carrier, giant military plane, nuclear sub. A little something for everybody. I'll bet the Si's chewed up the NATO exercises, too...but evidently there's been a security lid clamped tight on it...not a word has come out. But...the military knows. So the Si's are still determined to make their demonstration a good one. No matter where they have to strike, geographically. Call all this coincidence if you want to...I do not care. Call it precognition if you want to...I do not care. What it is...is a demonstration. I know it, if you do not. and best of all...I called it in advance! Owens (PKMan) oct 6, 1972 # F111s By RICHARD BLYSTONE SAIGON (AP) -- U.S. F111 fighter-bomber units completed their move from Nevada to Thailand Thursday, and the U.S. Command reported the swing-wing jets' first missions over North Vietnam after a six-day layoff. Although most of two squadrons of F111s from Nellis Air Force Base had reached Takhli Air Base, north of Bangkok, by Wednesday, the command reported only two strikes against the North overnight. The command acknowledged publicly for the first time that the trouble-plagued, $15 million jets had been withdrawn from combat after only four missions. One of the first two planes to go out vanished, with both crewmen missing. An official U.S. memorandum for correspondents said that because of the loss of the plane Sept. 28 "a thorough systems recheck was accomplished during the period Sept. 29-Oct. 3 to insure that the systems were functioning properly in the Southeast Asian environment. The systems were proved to be fully operational and the aircraft were rescheduled for combat missions." Several F111 strikes scheduled for Tuesday night and Wednesday morning were canceled because of bad weather associated with Typhoon Lorna, the command claimed. Weather also was blamed for cancellation of two missions on the first day of F111 operations. The F111s are billed as all-weather fighter-bombers. During the Tuesday-Wednesday period, less sophisticated aircraft, such Mr. Ted Owens (PKMAN) Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 === Page 8 of 23 Oct. 30, 1972 Dear Dr. Hynek: On August 31, 1972, I informed you that I would, in order to give you a demonstration of what I could do with my mind...and my UFO helpers...attack ships and planes and subs of the NATO forces, holding an exercise at about that time. After writing you, I communicated with the UFO's and explained, as best I could, that you needed a demonstration because you were thinking that I just might be using precognition...and not actually causing things to happen. I instructed them to attack ships, aircraft carriers, planes and subs. Next I worked out my own attack plan, using my own mind and psi-force principles. Since then...all hell has broken loose. The enclosed file is self-explanatory. The NATO exercise folded after some days...but the psi-force (and Si's) have kept going...mysterious disappearances of two giant ($16 million) F-111 planes; aircraft carrier mishaps; etc. Now, if you want to call this "coincidence", you can, of course. Or precog. But in order to better educate you about PK Men and the Si's...I am enclosing something else. Another file, dating back to 1966. I DID THE VERY SAME THING THEN! With the same devastating results! It is completely documented, as you can see. At that time I was corresponding heavily with "George Clark" of Central Intelligence Agency, and Roland Swank (Box 562, Paoli, Pennsylvania) who was the head of a 30-man aerospace group following my work with analysis and computers. Both of these responsible people...plus many others, of course...were notified in advance in 1966 that I would attack ships, planes and carriers and subs WITH MY MIND and with the Si's help, and when it then came to pass...I documented it from the newspapers. It is all in here. Of course, I assume that you are very knowledgeable about how ESP works...how psi-force works. Time and distance mean absolutely nothing to it; nor does mass mean anything, either, when properly used. I.e., I can take an idea...to cause world-wide earthquakes or make things happen to aircraft carriers and planes and subs world-wide...and instantly (no time lag) the psi-force is out there, all over the world...causing earthquakes or preparing to cause them after some preliminary preparation...or instantly out there, all over the world, on planes, subs, carriers, etc., causing things to happen to them, or preparing to cause it to happen to them after some preliminary preparation. Naturally, I am not limited to just earthquakes or military sea forces. The ordinary reaction to all of this is, naturally, horror, in the event it is real (it is). However, calmer minds, and more scientific minds...should be able to realize that my mental breakthrough is literally world-shaking, since it is unheard of up til now (the phenomena I've produced); could conceivably signal a breakthrough in the human race, up to a new plateau level of the human mind; and the other-dimensional powers that my mind is USING, in cause and effect manner, documented...simply has to be the greatest leap forward for mankind since mankind somehow progressed from cavemen and stone age to what mankind has become. I.e., Primitive man, to present man, to what I have become. (Stage One) (Stage Two) (Stage Three) Owens PK Man === Page 9 of 23 PK 10/17/72 # Over 100 Fought on Carrier HONOLULU (AP) -- More than 100 men were involved in the racial fight which left 46 men injured aboard the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk off Vietnam last week, the Navy said Monday. About 5,000 men were aboard the ship at the time of the incident. The series of altercations between black and white crew members stemmed from an initial fight in the ship's dining hall, a Pacific Fleet spokesman said. The fighting occurred in various parts of the ship during the night and early morning hours last Thursday and Friday. There were no further disturbances, and the incident did not interrupt the carrier's operations, the spokesman said. Three of the crewmen were seriously injured and were flown to Clark Air Force Base Hospital in the Philippines. All are expected to recover. The other injured men were treated aboard ship and returned to duty. No charges have been filed and no one has been placed under confinement, but an investigation is continuing, the spokesman said. Capt. Frank Haak, chief of staff of Carrier Division 5, who was aboard the Kitty Hawk at the time of the incident, was appointed to investigate. A three-man team from Pacific Fleet headquarters flew from Hawaii to the carrier to review the incident and prepare a preliminary report to the fleet commander. Earlier, the Navy said the fighting was broken up by a large number of black and white crew members. The carrier had been on station in the Gulf of Tonkin only one day when the incident occurred. A12 Virginian-Pilot, Monday, Oct. 23, 1972 # Navy Charges 25 in Riot HONOLULU (UPI) -- The Navy announced charges Sunday against 25 blacks aboard the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk for assault and rioting connected with racial disturbances Oct. 12 and 13 while the ship conducted air strikes against North Vietnam. In a brief statement, the commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet said "charges have been preferred against 25 persons" in connection with the race riot which injured 46 men. The Navy said that all those charged were black, and between the ages of 18 and 21. Twenty-five were charged with assault or rioting, all but four were accused of both crimes. They will be court-martialed aboard the Kitty Hawk, operating in "Yankee Station" off North Vietnam. The men have not been confined, a spokesman said. Although the Navy would not comment, a Pearl Harbor source said the incident involved a black attack on whites aboard the ship which resulted in a series of all-night roving brawls that lasted until the following morning. A Navy spokesman said the trouble began in the ship's mess hall. All those charged face severe penalties if convicted. Another racial incident occurred the same week, aboard the fleet oiler Hassayampa in Subic Bay, Philippines. Four whites were injured in that melee, and eleven blacks jailed. The Navy said investigation is still continuing, and said there had been no further racial violence aboard any Pacific Fleet ships. Oct. 23, 1972 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS.......... Please append this to the "NATO Experiment", file. As you may have surmised by now...the psi-force can pursue an idea, and attack in a thousand devious ways to accomplish the end result. First, the radar experiment either set fire directly to the aircraft carrier Forrestal, in the Chesapeake Bay area, or influenced a sailor to set the fire. Object...to damage or wipe out the carrier. Next...the psi-force USED these men to riot on the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk, attacking thus in a different manner...but with the same object, to damage or wipe out the carrier. The psi-force did the same with the Fleet Oiler Hassayampa. In short...the psi-force, once given a target...goes on its way, invisibly, unseen, all-powerful...waiting and utilizing infinite intelligence to get at its target, in one way or a thousand other ways. Tell you what...as soon as I get some sort of break financially...so that I am set up better...I will show you what a real psi-force attack is like! Russia has the most powerful sea-force in the world, on and under the water. I propose to give you a blue-ribbon demonstration by TAKING APART THE RUSS WAR FLEET AND WAR SUBMARINE FLEET! With my mind. With psi-force, directed at the Russ war machine. But not until...I get some sort of break financially, to shore up my sagging home situation; failing home situation, to be more accurate. Psi-force can do a lot of things...just regret that it cannot make money. Ted Owens (PK Man) PS... am trying to recall and do away with that NATO psi-force! (Erase it.)

Another sailor was reported missing, presumably overboard. On the South Vietnamese battlefields, Communist forces rained scores of rockets into the Da Nang air base, an adjoining village, a provincial capital 15 miles south of Da Nang and a district town 40 miles northwest of Saigon. An American civilian and 17 South Vietnamese were killed, and two Americans and 92 Vietnamese were wounded. U.S. B52 bombers resumed strikes against supply caches in the southern half of North Vietnam after a 24-hour diversion to targets in South Vietnam. But strikes by U.S. fighter-bombers still were curtailed above the 20th parallel as a show of good will to foster peace negotiations. The naval accident occurred aboard the carrier Midway. The landing gear of an A6 Intruder collapsed as it returned from a mission, and the jet ran wild, plowing into parked planes and crewmen on the bow of the ship and starting a small fire. (Continued on page A4, Col. 6) # Crash of jet on Midway kills 4 (Continued from page A1) The 65,000-ton Midway had just returned from shore leave in the Philippines. Spokesmen said the carrier remained on the line, and bombing missions were scheduled today. Ten of the injured men were flown to a U.S. Army hospital in Da Nang, the rest were treated aboard ship. The other recent naval accident occurred on Oct. 1 aboard the cruiser Newport News. An explosion ripped through a gun turret as it was firing, killing 20 crewmen and injuring 37. The United States reduced its fighter-bomber strikes against North Vietnam again Tuesday and confined them to the southern panhandle below the 20th parallel in a sort of a partial bombing halt aimed at improving the atmosphere for peace negotiations, informed sources said today. The Air Force's big B52 bombers resumed attacks on supply caches in the panhandle after a 24-hour diversion to targets in South Vietnam. But the U.S. Command said the smaller fighter-bombers flew only about 100 strikes, all below the 20th parallel, which is 75 miles south of Hanoi.

Owens (PK Man) === Page 11 of 23 Singapore Harbor Wing Pilot Oct. 30, 1972 AIRCRAFT CARRIER # Saratoga Fire Kills 3 WASHINGTON (AP)--A fire broke out aboard the attack aircraft carrier Saratoga in Singapore Harbor Sunday and three Navy men died of smoke inhalation. The Pacific Fleet Command at Pearl Harbor said the names of the dead men were being withheld pending notification of their next of kin. A Navy spokesman said six crewmen were being treated for minor injuries and six others were treated and returned to duty. The fire did not impair the operational capabilities of the 60,000-ton carrier, whose home base is Mayport, Fla., the spokesman said. A number of civilian workers from Singapore aboard the vessel at the time continued their work and none were injured, the Navy said. Smoke poured into the air ventilation system and filled a crew quarters area where two of the sailors died of smoke inhalation before they could escape, U.S. Embassy spokesman Robert Nichols said. Nichols said the No. 2 main machine room, where the fire broke out, was sealed from the rest of the ship but the smoke was sucked into ship's ventilation (See Carrier, Page A2) # Carrier From Page 1 system before it was shut down. The 1,039-foot long carrier, which has a crew of 4,900 men, also suffered smoke and water damage, but Capt. James S. Sanderson reported that the operational capability had "not been impaired," the Navy spokesman said. Nichols said there was a general call to quarter when the fire broke out at 12:30 p.m. Sunday (midnight EDT Saturday) but the two sailors were overcome before they could evacuate their quarters. He said the quarters where the men died was one deck directly above the fire. The vessel arrived in Singapore Friday to give crewmen routine shore leave. Saratoga seamen dressed in civilian clothes had been frequenting several hotels and restaurants in Singapore as U.S. sailors have done over the years since the Vietnam War began. The carrier left her home port of Mayport, Fla., in April for Vietnam and was in Singapore on "a routine port visit," the Navy said. Singapore is a regular port of call for the U.S. Navy. Nichols said it was not known if the fire would affect the vessel's sailing schedule. The U.S. Navy still did not have a fixed sailing date for the Saratoga at the time of the fire, he said. The Saratoga was followed to the Pacific by another Atlantic Fleet carrier, the Norfolk-based America. There was no word Sunday on when either ship will be coming home. Aircraft Fighter Squadrons 31 and 103 and Attack Squadron 75 from Oceana Naval Air Station are deployed aboard the Saratoga. (from Norfolk) No outside assistance was needed in fighting the fire, which was quickly controlled by the ship's crew. It caused minor smoke and water damage to the ship and work was under way to restore various pieces of equipment, including electrical wiring, the spokesman said. The Saratoga, a Forrestal-class attack aircraft carrier, was completed in 1956 at a cost of more than $209 million. Other Navy ships have recently been hit by accidents while operating in Indochina waters. The most serious involved an explosion aboard the <- It is interesting that numerous Navy planes have crashed recently here at Oceana Naval Air Station!!

The U.S. command said Thursday that three Americans were killed in Indochina War action last week. Six other Americans died in the crash of a warplane on board the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk, but their deaths were termed "nonhostile." The Saigon high command said 504 of its soldiers were killed last week, while Communist deaths were estimated to be 2,081. Over North Vietnam Wednesday, American aircraft flew "more than 140" airstrikes with jet fighter-bombers, and added another four waves of B52s. The jet strikes were the heaviest since Oct. 24, when raids on the north were restricted to below the 20th parallel. Navy spokesmen said a pilot dropped the Nap Bang railroad bridge, 105 miles south of Hanoi, with a single television-guided "smart-bomb" in the Wednesday raids, "limiting" rail movement toward South Vietnam. 11/3/72 Nov. 3, 1972 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS.......... And yet ANOTHER aircraft carrier mishap! Do not confuse this one with the aircraft carrier MIDWAY mishap (see file). It is interesting that the govt. is evidently trying to put a hush-hush on this aircraft carrier mishap series now. I went through all the newspapers around Norfolk, including the Philadelphia paper... and this tiny mention is all there was on the Kitty Hawk carrier mishap! It wasn't even on TV.

(UPI) -- The 130 disgruntled sailors put ashore by the carrier Constellation after refusing to obey orders at sea met with officers Monday to discuss their grievances. In an action believed to be unprecedented in Navy history, the crewmen, mostly seamen and seamen apprentices unhappy with their duty assignments, were given the weekend on liberty after the huge carrier returned to port Saturday from a training cruise. "They will be able to return to the Constellation once their grievances have been examined," said Capt. J. D. Ward, skipper of the carrier which has a crew of 5,000 men. The Connie returned to San Diego Harbor again Monday, this time with an A7 Corsair attack jet dangling over her side. The plane skidded off the deck while landing Sunday night, but was held above the water by landing arrest cables. The pilot wasn't hurt. The plane was removed at North Island Naval Air Station by crane. The Constellation was expected to return to sea within a day to resume round-the-clock combat preparation exercises off the Southern California coast. TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS.......... can it be co-incidence that here is yet ANOTHER aircraft carrier mishap? Can it be co-incidence that this long string of aircraft carrier, ship and plane mishaps... began first with my hitting the Chesapeake Bay area with psi-force (and the Forrestal caught fire)... then I sent forth psi-force to attack and harass NATO forces; aircraft carriers, planes, subs... and when that exercise was over, I let the psi-force keep on going... AND SINCE THAT TIME ALL THESE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED. If someone argues that perhaps humans are sabotaging... I will remind them of the Si's making Tom Woodeshick run out onto the field and smash the Cowboy in the face; that the Si's caused a "change of heart" in the Selma, Alabama, judge... changed his thinking around. To harass carriers, planes and subs... the Si's will use personnel on those vehicles... as well as fire and other "poltergeist" phenomena.

Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens SAIGON (AP) -- A fire below the flight deck on the carrier America, the fourth 7th Fleet accident in seven weeks, briefly curtailed air strike operations but caused no injuries, spokesmen said Monday. The blaze broke out in what was described as a relatively inaccessible catapult room during operations off the coast of Vietnam Sunday. It was quickly extinguished. The 7th Fleet ruled out sabotage, explaining that spontaneous combustion in insulation around steam lines apparently caused the fire. The 80,000-ton carrier, home based in Norfolk, Va., continued operations after the fire was controlled. Spokesmen said an initial investigation indicated that the damage was being repaired. The America carries about 70 planes and a crew of 5,000. On Oct. 29, a fire broke out aboard the carrier Saratoga while on port leave in Singapore. Three sailors died of smoke inhalation and 12 were injured. Five days earlier, on Oct. 24, the landing gear of a Navy jet collapsed as it touched down on the carrier Midway and the plane plowed into parked aircraft and flight personnel, killing five and injuring 21. The first in the series of accidents was on the heavy cruiser Newport News on Oct. 1. An explosion ripped through a gun turret, killing 20 crewmen and injuring 37. Scattered ground action was reported in the region around Saigon, where South Vietnamese intelligence reports have said a renewed effort by Communist-led forces to seize hamlets, cut roads and to show the flag was expected to begin Monday. South Vietnamese infantrymen reported killing 14 North Vietnamese in a fight near Phu Hoa, 15 miles north of Saigon, while suffering no casualties of their own. Two government soldiers were killed and 38 wounded in fighting that flared after they found a North Vietnamese mortar position during a sweep six miles east of Ben Cat, 23 miles north of Saigon. In the air, the U.S. Command reported that American fighter-bombers flew only 40 strikes in the southern panhandle of North Vietnam because of bad weather. my camera ready - fontana, me - organ === Page 15 of 23 ed Carrier Landing Off Vietnam Nov. 25, 1972 # Corsair Crashes, Pilot Saved SAIGON (UPI) --A Navy A7 Corsair fighter-bomber crashed into the South China Sea after an abortive landing attempt aboard an aircraft carrier, the U.S. command said Friday. It was the eighth American aircraft lost in the past four days. The pilot bailed out and was rescued, the command said. The jet was returning from a bombing raid over the southern part of North Vietnam. A U.S. Command spokesman said the Navy Corsair that crashed late Thursday will probably be listed as an "operational" loss instead of a combat loss. Although the plane was returning from a mission over North Vietnam, it was not damaged by Communist fire. The spokesman said the plane's tail hit the carrier deck too soon and the pilot took off again immediately. He tried to fly the craft to a land base at Da Nang, but lost control and had to eject. TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS... and here's another carrier mishap! Fire, riot, plane crashes, explosions... the psi-force will use any tool at hand...human or otherwise...to bring about its purpose.

Last night I woke up with the very strong feeling that Ted Owens was in my room, training me. I could hear him making the slight noises that he makes when he smokes a cigar during my daytime training. I was wide awake...heard him talking to me, training me...heard the slight noise of the cigar-smoking that he makes at his office. I repeat, I was not asleep and dreaming this. The room was dark and I looked around, but could not see anything because of the darkness. But I could hear the voice of Ted Owens, and so I knew that it was him. I was awake, now. I could hear the aluminum blinds at the windows rattling. Also I could hear Ted Owens talking to me. But my door was locked; I was alone in the hotel room; and this was in the middle of the night. Today, the next day, I informed Mr. Owens of this, and he asked that I get it onto paper for his files...that such phenomena is very important.

The astronomer, physicist and theologian on the panel all welcomed the prospect of communicating with other intelligent beings. But the biologist was fearful of what harm superior beings might inflict on mankind, while the anthropologist was worried about what our warlike planet would do to them. The question of whether intelligent life exists beyond the tiny planet earth is nearly as old as man's fertile imagination. The discovery of such extraterrestrial life is likely to have awesome implications, not only for science but also for philosophy and theology and possibly for our very survival. SCIENCE The New York Times News Service These moral and philosophical issues remain unresolved, of course, but they have taken on new urgency in recent years with the emergence of radio telescopes powerful enough to exchange messages with distant solar systems. "The question is not so much 'if' as 'where' and 'when' -- ultimate contact seems virtually inevitable," said Prof. Richard Berendzen, the moderator, in introducing the symposium on "Life Beyond Earth and the Human Mind" at Boston University. The discussion was co-sponsored by the university and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Contact is inevitable because even with present-day technology it would be possible to detect our civilization from anywhere in our 250-billion-star galaxy despite the enormous distances, said Carl E. Sagan of Cornell, an astronomer and "exobiologist," a rapidly proliferating species of experts seeking evidence for life beyond. He argues that the prospect is so exhilarating that governments should appropriate money to begin the long, arduous radio search of the heavens. Indeed, he contends that the earth has already announced its presence since superior technologies may be able to detect our high-frequency radar and military messages. "This may explain why nobody has been here," he added. Not so sanguine about intergalactic communication was Prof. George Wald of Harvard, a Nobel prize-winning biologist who is an expert on vision. "I can conceive of no nightmare as terrifying as establishing such contact with a superior civilization," he said. Wald saw this as just another example of what he perceived as the misuse of science.

SUDYK Here are OUR Browns, right in the smack of the Central Division race, when we had expected to be watering the grass over the grave. And what I was proud of most -- I thought -- was OUR Browns got this far completely legit. You see, King Arthur Modell has tested the very universe or, at least, our very galaxy. But nobody had the slightest notion at the time. It all began back in late-September when Modell opened this letter: "DEAR MR. MODELL . . . My name is Ted Owens, the PK Man. I am a member of Mensa.

Ted Owens (PK Man)" His address was Cape Charles, Va. THE BROWNS OFFICE receives thousands of loopie letters containing threats, promises, such suggestions as the theory that tight-fitting uniforms are slowing the offense. Some notes contain road maps out of town for coach Skorich. And side-splitting laughter rocked the Ivory Tower B at the Stadium, the day PK Man's letter arrived. But our visit to the library yesterday uncovered the recent book, "Occult America" by John Godwin. And right on page 154 is PK Man Owens fully documented. Owens claims to be an earth representative of the Sis-meaning space intelligences. OWENS, IT SAYS, has a reputation for writing letters to such lofty places as NASA, CIA and to presidents Johnson and Nixon, many predicting disasters which later occurred. In one dispatch to the CIA, Oct. 26, 1965, he sent a warning letter that the Sis were "in a fury" and unless the Gemini Six launch be cancelled, an earth catastrophe would be unleashed within 10 days. The rocket was launched and an unexplained power failure blacked out much of seven states a few days later. PK Man stands for "psychokineses" -- the alleged ability to move objects by mental power alone with influences from outer space. WELL, NOBODY HAS THROWN a net on Owens who has documented proof of his powers. He is in his 50's, described as a "massive man" with the forearms of a wrestler, who chews a cigar instead of smoking it. He has a wife and daughter and is employed in a routine office job. He has been making the papers around Virginia Beach, Va. since he demonstrated his "ability" to cause thunderstorms -- with or without rain. But just the other day, Ted PK Man Owens, not having heard from Modell, sent an indignant one-sentence chilling note: "Please consider the offer withdrawn." So get ready for more psi-force bad things. They aren't laughing in Modell tower now, I'll bet. === Page 21 of 23 I hit Africa with PK to cause the below!! Phila. Inq. Nov. 25, 1972 # Whites Start To Leave South Africa Special to The Inquirer And London Observer CAPETOWN.--A slow but discernible exodus has started from South Africa of whites who say they can no longer stomach the country's racist, authoritarian rule and its social and cultural backwardness. For some time students and other young people have been leaving the country, never to return, except for holidays or visits to parents. But now there is a new phenomenon--the emigration of couples whose children have completed their education and are off their hands. These middle-aged whites say they want to live the last years of their lives in a "free" society. The last time South Africa experienced anything like this was after the Sharpeville shootings in 1960, although nothing like the numbers that left the country then are leaving it now. THE IMPORTANCE of the present exodus is to be found not so much in the number of people leaving as in their caliber. Among them are some of the country's most talented citizens. Almost all are financially secure. They expect to suffer financially and in other ways by uprooting themselves. Each has his own reasons for pulling out. Generally they feel there is more to life than living in a doom-laden atmosphere waiting for things to go wrong. This is their shared fear: They see no hope for peaceful change in South Africa. This point of view has been articulated most clearly by an Afrikaner, Professor Jan Loubser, who went to Canada in 1964, became a Canadian citizen, but returned to South Africa last January to take up the chair of sociology at Cape Town University. HE IS GOING BACK to Canada, because he does not see South Africa solving her problems peacefully. The start of the present exodus of whites can be traced back to the police-student clash in Cape Town early in June, when baton-wielding policemen chased men and women students into St. George's Cathedral and hauled them out. The shock waves that rippled out from that incident caused a number of whites to decide the time had come to pack up and get out. There is unmistakable tension in South Africa today. After 24 years in office, the ruling Nationalist Party is seeing the breakdown of many of its apartheid policies and fragmentation is setting in among its followers -- some want to modify apartheid to salvage it, but others are demanding that it be tightened. IT IS THE FEAR that this latter group, the right-wingers or verkramptes, will win the day that is unsettling many liberal-minded whites. It is not only the racist, authoritarian nature of South African society that many whites, not all of them liberals, find suffocating. They object also in the way Premeir John Vorster's Afrikaner government, representing only one section of the white population, foists its way of life on all other sections of the population. This is a narrow, Calvinist way of life, which reflects itself in rigid censorship of films and books, opposition to organized Sunday sport, one of the dullest and most propagandistic radio services in the Western world, and generally a killjoy attitude to what it calls the "imported" permissive society. Nov. 27, 1972 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS... get out the copy of Brad Steiger and Warren Smith's "What The Seers Predict For 1972"...and turn to page 140. See "Rains in Africa". I state therein: "The Si's and I intend to drive out all whites in Africa...we shall return the country to its native blacks so that the country can once again become healthy and grow.

Then, you will perhaps recall, I appeared on national TV with Carroll Rosenbloom about a year ago. Carroll was smarter than Wolman...because he knows what I can do. But he would not hire me...and take a good long look at the Baltimore Colts this season. See what has happened to them. At least, Carroll was smart enough to get rid of the Colts for the Rams (not really smart; it won't help him any; I will also keep the Rams out of winning the Super Bowl.) To make matters worse, and compound the doom coming your team's way...you published my confidential letter to you. I would suggest, first off...that you check with Mr. Dan Coughlin, sports, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, who has seen some of my credentials. Also, I am enclosing a newsclip from the Chattanooga Times, by Buck Johnson, sportswriter there...who also was privy to a few of my credentials. On the newsstands and in the bookstores now is a book, "Predictions for 1973" by Glenn McWane, paperback. Represented in the book are the nation's leading psychics. I am one of them. Then if you will see April, 1971, Saga magazine...you will read that a top scientist has evaluated me as having "perhaps the most powerful human mind on earth, and probably the world's greatest psychic." (Currently six scientists are studying my work; three of them are internationally known, and all three of these "big ones" came to me, I didn't go to them. Which is some indication of the effectiveness of my miraculous work.) Now, just because the Browns managed to salvage this last game by a last-second field goal...do not let it get you overconfident. Don't let your side-splitting laughter run away with you. After Joe McGinniss, then sports writer and columnist for the Phila. Inquirer, first did a column on me, stating that I would "take apart the Phila. Eagles, and clobber Jerry Wolman and Joe Kuharich"...the Eagles still won some games. But from that point on, they steadily went downhill...deteriorated. It took me several years to finish the job on them. To utterly wreck them...and break Wolman financially, and get Kuharich retired to some cow pasture somewhere. (Joe McGinniss later wrote the best-seller, "The Selling of a President.") You may be the "regal chief" of the Browns...and have millions...but here is what I am going to do. I am going to take the Cleveland Browns apart, as time goes by. Might take me two-three years to do a complete job. But watch what happens from now on. Before this hassle, I was just going to eliminate you as superbowl winners, and try to stop you from getting there. Now...I am just going to eliminate the Browns. This year I told the Cowboys, KC Chiefs, Atlanta Falcons...in advance...that I would not allow them to get to and win the Superbowl. I am doing just fine; they are not. You have four games left; I'll try to make you lose at least three of them. I do not pretend to win every game; the opposing team has to be able to cash in on the chances I give it...and they do not always do that. Mr. Modell...you now have the most formidable psychic enemy in the world...PK Man.

Gregerson Forest Garden Nursery Rt. #1 Box 148-B Granite Falls, Washington 98252 To: Gray Barker Saucerian Press, Inc. Box 2228 Clarksburg, West Virginia 26301 Info: Washington State Highway Patrol - I censored their copy. Criminal Assault Division Please note!! Olympia, Washington dated (Sept. 20, 1970) Dear Gray Barker, The following notes will comprise a classic description of the M.I.B.'s (Men In Black) - as described in your most recent edition of the book by the same name. 2:15am Sunday morning Sept., 3, 1972. My wife Harriet and I were awakened by a car starting and stopping repeatedly and squealing it's tires. My wife did a very strange thing (unusual) - by opening the door of the house and yelling at the cars' occupants to "get the hell out of here and go make noise someplace else". We could not see into the car on the highway because of the distance to the highway and numerous trees between the house and highway. A girl had been walking by the side of the highway. (Blond) She had either just gotten out of the car or had walked from town about two miles away. The men in the car were trying to get her back into the car by talking to her. She said "all you want to do in f---". A very large man got out of the car at this point and tried to wrestle the girl. She had said half sobbingly "leave me alone". I had by this time gotten a lantern-spot light and turned the beam onto the man and girl, (young woman). I said "hey - what the hell are you doing to that woman?" The man screamed at me to "turn that G.D. light out of my eyes"! At this juncture the two women had tried to get everyone into the car to leave. The huge man kept walking around the car saying "this is a public f--king highway - I will make all the noise I want". I told my wife "go call the cops". I heard the other man say, "he called you a c--ksucker". The huge man trotted part way up the driveway and asked "did you call me a c--ksucker?" Since neither my wife nor I had been talking to the people, I said nothing. The huge man started to go back to the car. The other man said two times more "he called you a c--ksucker" I told my wife to call the State Highway Patrol. === Page 2 of 12 Page Two The Huge man came up the driveway yelling at me that he would "beat in my f--king head". I told my wife again to call the Highway Patrol as I picked up a chair to wield against the Huge man. He had to walk under a very bright Utility Company mercury-night light. When I was about 6-8 feet from my porch rail the huge man was about 35 feet from the porch steps. I was fascinated to see the Huge man lean forward with one outstretched had slightly ahead of the other. He was actually stalking me. By the time I had moved about 5-6 feet to the porch steps(landing) the Huge man had made a quick break to cross at least 25 feet. I barely had enough time to lift the chair over the porch steps to get a half-swing at his head as he came up the steps to get me. As I raised the chair - the second man had just come into view under the night light. In the space of time it took me to lift the chair and swing - the second man had also crossed 35 feet of space -- stood on the bottom steps, locked both hands firmly on the stair rails, and broke the fall backwards of the Huge man who I pushed over backwards as he tried to keep the chair from hitting him in the head. The second man leaned inwardly and held the Huge man until the Huge man could get his balance and come tearing at me a second time with his long arms outstretched. (The only feeling I had, was that of being attacked by a large snake). I had stepped backward about a half foot and stood by a porch upright which the Huge man had to come around to grab me. I locked the left had firmly-with thumb over his Adams-apple and all four other fingers firmly on the neck bones. I grabbed into the chest and drove the man up against the outer rail of the porch steps. Whatever look was in my eyes frightened the Huge man. His own eyes grew wide with fright. He shook himself and stood back from me about a foot and a half, saying nothing for a few seconds. The other man came to top of stairs and laid both hands on my right arm - tugging at it, and letting out a sound more like a cross between a dog's snarl and low growl. I had a good look at the second man who was about 6'1", very slender, full olive complexion, straight dark hair parted on left side (hair about two and half inches long). He had egged the Huge man into the fight. The Huge man looked slightly down on me, while I stood on the porch and he on the porch stair landing which is a measured 7 1/2 inches lower than the porch. Since I am 5'11"+ - it is safe to say the Huge man who is blond with crew cut straight hair - stands at least 6'7" and weighs easily at 300 lbs. plus. === Page 3 of 12 Page Three The huge man began again to scream at me using every combination of four letter words; but he made no further effort to grab at me, even though I stood about one and a half feet from him with both my hands resting on the porch gate. >>>>>>>>> After about 3-5 minutes of carrying-on the two men turned and went down the stairs. The Huge blond man went down the driveway. The tall thin man (who was dressed in solid black with a white shirt only) stopped and turned to face me. He looked intently at Ted Owens disc beneath my undershirt. He seemed to recognize what was suspended from my neck. He sneered at me and then walked away. On that same night a State Trooper had been beaten by a large man named John Von Hof. I thought it was the same person until I looked at a road-map to discover that Shelton, Washington is too far away from Granite falls; for the same person to have been both places that night. (I have checked with a State Trooper since; he seemed to feel it was the same man in both places). My wife oddly enough never made her phone call until after the Huge man had finished attacking me. (I could hear her phone call). The dog never barked! Another oddity is the fact that no car came or went on highway, all the while the man in black was in the vicinity. (About a half-hours' time). It is unusual because the taverns close at 2am and usually, many cars are moving for about 45 minutes. Two weeks later to the night - the State Highway Patrol found a young woman who had been sexually assaulted, beaten and strangled - lying in the highway, in the vicinity of the approach to Whidby Island. She had Red hair and Green eyes. I wonder if there might be a connection since I have light brownish hair and green eyes. The large man (or the man in black) might have taken my insult out on some girl. I was standing barefoot in my underwear when I slammed the man into the porch rail. (My right shoulder is still quite sore 3 months later) On the evening of Sept. 4th the same car came by the house quite fast - hitting the brakes and making the tires squeal (signature) with no appreciable drop in car speed - or engine pitch ???? I heard the sounds distinctly. (Does he have an accomplice in Granite Falls?) It still seems to me the powder-blue and grey-blue auto is equipped with some kind of automatic equipment in the gears and transmission. Another oddity is the fact that the blond girl who the Huge man had been wrestling; came into the yard under the night light and half chidingly said "he was trying to keep me from being raped". === Page 4 of 12 "Dec - July" P.O.

(It's my own!) Dear MR. Owens. Received your Church of Sota brochure with its news of you and your activities. I still have my disc and carry it at all times. With it it seems to me, I can see dangers before they occur and have avoided several car accidents because I knew the other driver was going to create a situation which would involve me. On one occasion, a car approached me at night and gradually started heading for me head on my side of the road. I veered off as far as I could without going off the road and prayed he would miss me. He did and how I don't know! The car seemed to pass thru us. I fully expected to hear a bloodcurdling crash. The other car stopped further down the road and I turned around and drove to the stopped car. The man admitted he had fallen asleep and was hazy about the accident he had almost caused. All I can say === Page 5 of 12 as it was a true miracle beyond comprehension and without my disc I am sure I would be in another world. I wonder if you would send me another disc which I would like to give to my daughter. I haven't seen any more of your articles recently. Do you expect to publish any new books? I am enclosing a check for 25 to help in the continuance of your fine work. Keep me posted on your progress, if you can, and I do hope if I am ever in your area I can say "hello". Write me at P.O.

Webster, USN P. O. Box 33 Hauula, Hawaii 96714 Dear Captain Webster: First let me thank you, sir...for your most generous help in my work here. It was very kind and thoughtful of you to think of it...and believe me I really needed it. Thank you, again. Now, your car phenomena...where the car passed through your own car (and remembering that you are one of the Si "disc-people" -- is exactly what happened to me, long years ago! Did you read about that? I think it was mentioned in one of the SAGA magazine articles. Anyway...I was driving up a steep mountain road, a deep chasm dropoff on my right, and solid cliff rock on my left. About halfway up the high mountain (and it was dark, about 10 at night) I spotted a small narrow road cut into the rock on my left, and I decided suddenly to turn left into the tiny road then back out and retrace my path down the mountain. I could see straight up the long road ahead...and there was no car, or lights, coming. So it was safe to make the turn. Slowly and carefully I turned left into the narrow aperture... then slowly and carefully backed out again. At this point I had the entire road covered...my rear wheels not far from the edge of the cliff. Then...I shall never forget what happened! From nowhere, literally...a car was coming down upon me from above at great speed...its headlights flooding my rearview mirror! (This was an impossibility...for I had checked the road up ahead before making the turn, which only took seconds.) Well, I thought, I'd better protect my head...so I wrapped my arms around my head and braced for the terrible crash I knew was coming. But there was no crash! Amazed, I lowered my arms and saw the car speeding on down the mountainside! It had to pass through my own car! No other way, since my car covered the narrow mountain road completely, in my half-completed turnaround. Shaking like a leaf I completed my turn and drove down the mountainside. If you can imagine something like that happening...something that is a complete and utter impossibility as far as our physical laws are concerned! Well, I guess you can imagine it, since it has just happened to you yourself! Another one of my "disc people" just had fifteen tons fall on him. He wrote me, "Thank God for my Si disc!" So it does seem as though...my disc people have special angels looking over them! Am teaching just a relative few...pupils...now, the incredible autohypnosis system which the UFO intelligences taught to me years ago. Enclosed is a sheet shortly describing same. Thought some time you might be interested in learning it. Merry Christmas and happy new years to you, my friend.....

Should he eventually beat Bobby Fischer, the Russians would undoubtedly be happy to give him not only a car, but a chauffeur to drive it as well. # Les Misérables Philadelphia Eagles coach Ed Khayat is a short-haired, serious-minded Mississippian who enjoys the speeches of General Patton, wears an American-flag lapel pin at all times and betrays not a trace of sarcasm as he proclaims: "Next to my family, my God and my country, I love Philadelphia and football. And I've got both of those in the Eagles." The city's many cynics might quibble with part of his statement. Certainly coach Khayat's suggested, realistically enough, that they save on travel expenses and simply "mail in the losses." In the World Hockey Association, the Philadelphia Blazers are so deep in last place that they may wish that more games would turn out like their home opener--which was canceled when the ice melted. Despite such formidable competition, however, most Philadelphians reserve a special place of dishonor for the pathetic Eagles, who eked out just two wins and all of 103 points in their first eleven games this season. From top to bottom, the organization is disgruntled and chaotic; when things go badly, the players not only blunder, but--according to coach Khayat--they quit. After the Eagles stood around and watched the New York Giants run past them for 62 points last week, all-pro safety Bill Bradley admitted sadly: "I'm embarrassed." The embarrassment began early for the Eagles, when promising running back Po James arrived at rookie camp sporting fashionable new high-heeled shoes--and promptly tripped on a curb and sprained his ankle. Last week, league-leading pass catcher Harold Jackson continued the unhappy tradition: he injured his knee by slipping on a slick floor in his Society Hill apartment. Mutiny: Some Eagles trace their troubles to Khayat's militaristic approach, which includes restrictions on the length of hair. When the rules were initiated, hirsute free spirit Tim Rossovich asked if club owner Leonard Tose would have to comply by trimming his bushy eyebrows. Linebacker Rossovich, who also offended management by holding out this fall, was soon traded away, leaving the Eagle defense even more vulnerable than usual. Now the remaining Eagles are on the verge of open mutiny against both Khayat's old-fashioned ways and general manager Pete Retzlaff's parsimonious policies. The fans themselves have grown so rebellious that Tose has to use decoy limousines to make stealthy getaways from home games before his car can be battered by non-admirers. Unlike other bad teams who can claim to be building for the future, the Eagles promise to remain just as awful for years to come; they have an uncanny knack for doing almost everything wrong. Even the national anthem presents insurmountable hurdles for them: at one game, they invited an eager fan to sing it and he forgot the lyrics; at another, they waved in a fleet of Hovercraft, only to have one lurch out of control, narrowly missing an unsuspecting member of the Marine Corps color guard. Then there was the time the Eagles erected nets to catch extra-point kicks and avoid injury-producing scrambles for the balls in the stands. But the first time the nets were used, they proved too small and the groundskeepers too slow in yanking them into place. The result was all too predictable to Eagle followers: the final score gave the end zone fans eight footballs, the Eagles nothing. **Khayat: For God and Philadelphia** Eagles are an integral part of the Philadelphia scene--a living, if barely breathing, symbol of the town's sporting tradition of defeat and despair. But the fans can be forgiven for arguing that the game as played by the Eagles can't really be defined as football. Khayat is not alone, of course, in his misery this winter in Philadelphia. Rookie coach Roy Rubin of the National Basketball Association's 76ers is referred to throughout the city simply as Poor Roy. Stumbling along at a rate that brings them roughly one victory each month, the 76ers have been hailed in the local press as "the greatest disaster in sports history." Only six years ago they were NBA champions, but Wilt Chamberlain and his expensive contract were traded away, Billy Cunningham jumped to the rival American Basketball Association--and now only aging Hal Greer remains. It is quite possible that no member of the club would be qualified to start on another NBA team, and one 76er has **Newsweek, December 11, 1972** # MONEY GROWS FASTER IN MEXICO Contact us for information on Mexican investment opportunities.

American astronauts Eugene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt and Ronald Evans returned to earth at 2:25 P. M. EST, ending the last, longest and most scientifically productive of the six Apollo moon landing missions. Fifty-three minutes later, they were safely aboard this recovery carrier, 400 miles southeast of Samoa. WELCOMED ABOARD by Navy officials, the astronauts stood on the flag-draped deck and congratulated the Ticonderoga crew for a "fantastic" recovery. "We think we flew a good mission," said mission commander Cernan. "We think we accomplished something and, by golly, we're proud of it ... I thank God that our country has chosen to grow. Nothing is impossible in this world if dedicated people are involved." After short messages of thanks by Evans, who once served aboard the Ticonderoga as a Navy fighter pilot, and civilian-geologist Schmitt, the astronauts went below decks for physical examinations. A helicopter, piloted by Cmdr. Edward E. Dahill 2d of South Dartmouth, Mass., had plucked the astronauts from a life raft and brought them to the deck of this carrier at 3:18 P. M. THE FLIGHT was made slowly to allow the spacemen to don orange Ticonderoga overalls and black baseball-style caps with Navy "scrambled eggs" on the bills. From re-entry to splashdown, the last minutes of the mission went smoothly as it had since its trip began with blastoff from Cape Kennedy, Fla., at 12:33 A. M. Dec. 7. Cernan and Schmitt spent three days on the moon in what was termed man's "most scientifically sophisticated" exploration. The spacecraft America was traveling 24,606 miles per January 2, 1973.... TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS... please contrast... the smoothness of this Apollo 17 flight... "best ever" according to NASA... where all went perfectly... with the Apollo 16 flight where I telephoned Dr. Hynek and Otto Binder in advance of the 16 flight and told them I would louse up the flight and harass the astronauts with all sorts of freak happenings... (to prove that Dr. Rhine's previous telepathic experiment with the astronaut was extremely anemic... compared to what I could do.) And remember... the wild things that went wrong with that 16 flight thereafter, culminating with an explosion which damaged the space craft even after it returned! Then read again about Apollo 17, which I did not touch with Other Dimensional Force (which, incidentally, is infinitely more powerful than just psi-force!)

Brad Steiger has on file literally hundreds of individuals who claim to have received messages directly from God--or angels, spacemen, guides or other superhuman entities, but somehow the messages all have an internal consistency. Steiger comes to the inescapable conclusion that the source of these messages is not a deranged subconscious, but an outside intelligence that has been operating throughout history. Packed with never-before published case histories, this book is a detective story on several levels--psychological, religious and philosophical, opening a whole new vista for occult buffs. THE DIVINE FIRE will be a high powered successor such books as CHARIOTS OF THE GODS and THE PASSOVER PLOT. Steiger presents an indepth study a fascinating psychological phenomenon--plus actual predictions, warnings and messages from a wide range of revelators. THE DIVINE FIRE contains interviews with prominent clergymen, scientists, and psychics which give the reader a dramatic new viewpoint on "messages from above" and the Jesus Movement. In addition, there are precise and complete instructions on how the reader may cultivate the Revelation Experience for himself.

(AP). - The aircraft carrier Constellation has returned to port after a fighter jet failed to stop on deck and dropped over the side, suspended in air by a cable. Both pilots escaped safely from the F-4J when the incident occurred Saturday 35 miles out at sea, a Navy spokesman said. The Constellation returned Sunday. The Navy said it is investigating the incident, which is similar to another accident a month ago that also left a jet hanging over the side of the carrier. Phila. Inq. 12/12/72 ② Dec 13, '72 **Constellation Hit by Blast, Fire; 1 Hurt** SAN DIEGO (AP) - An oxygen explosion and fire hit the carrier Constellation last Saturday at sea, injuring a sailor, the Navy said Tuesday. Davis S. Neck, 21, of Warren, Mich., was flown to San Diego Naval Hospital and later to Brooke Army Hospital at San Antonio, Tex. The explosion took place as Neck was working on an Intruder jet plane on the carrier's hangar deck, a Navy spokesman said. Neck suffered second and third-degree burns over 60 per cent of his body. There was no report of shipboard damage from the fire. The Navy also disclosed that the pilot of an F4J Phantom jet which overshot the landing deck of the same carrier Saturday suffered a broken ankle when he ejected 35 miles off shore. An arresting cable caught the plane, hanging it over the side until it was removed Monday in San Diego. The pilot, Lt. John R. Brooke of Poway, also lost two teeth. A copilot escaped injury, the Navy said. The plane was not damaged heavily, the Navy said. TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS.......... Here you have not one, but TWO...freak accidents that hit the aircraft carrier Constellation last Saturday...bang bang! (Please append to the file I just sent you, showing you how I gave just such a demonstration as this in 1966.) As usual...the psi force that I sent forth...caused these accidents. I am now being castigated in national periodicals...for causing accidents with psi force. However, it is of vital importance...that scientists such as yourself KNOW ABSOLUTELY that a human mind (even if it is the only human mind of its kind now in existence) CAN ACTUALLY DO THESE THINGS. I wish that I could have a "nice guy" goody-goody image to present to the public...but I cannot, and still prove what I have to prove. In short...I can't demonstrate against football and basketball teams; make and guide hurricanes; harass military forces...with my mind (and document it)...and still win a popularity contest! I'll just have to leave Jeane Dixon as the popularity winner, while I stomp around with my big feet of clay...and my one-of-a-kind mind.

A few months ago, you told me, if you remember, that I might experience my first sighting before the end of the year! Well, a few weeks ago, that is, I am certain, exactly what happened. It was about 2:00 P.M. when I saw, in a beautifully clear, blue sky, such as we have in Alberta, an oblong shaped (a little bit like a fat cigar!) *object, which seemed to stay still, about 600-800' high and 1 mile from me. Then it receded in the distance and disappeared within 3-5 minutes. The same afternoon, about 4:00 P.M. as I walked through the same spot (from which a good vantage view about the city can be obtained) here it was again! After a few seconds, it started to move, fairly slowly in a zig-zag fashion and disappeared in the distance. * whitish-phosphorescent Also, I have been practicing auto-hypo steadily. I have had some undeniably good results, in particular lately. Somehow I realize that I am still in an experimental stage. I mean that it seems that I have to try and see what I can achieve with the mechanism. At any rate, I realize more and more that it's a tremendous tool. I ordered a synchronizer from Schneider.

Text Any textual data included in the document === Page 1 of 15 January 2, 1973 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS... Important Notes The Si's communicated with me last week...and told me that I AM NOT USING PSI FORCE. That is, what is described as "psi-force" in "Psychic Discoveries Behind The Iron Curtain." They explained that I am using an entirely different force, or power...than is known anywhere on Earth. What I am using, they told me...is OTHER-DIMENSIONAL FORCE! Furthermore...what it is, and the description of how it works...CANNOT BE EXPLAINED IN ANY EARTH LANGUAGE...they told me. There are no WORDS for it! They explained...that when they modified my human brain...they made my brain like a radio set that can pick up other-dimensional power (from their own dimension) that no other human brain can pick up. (Imagine, if you will...that all peoples on the Earth had only AM-FM radio. But I alone had a special radio set that could pick up other frequencies, such as short wave, etc.) My brain is able to tune in on, then reflect...various other-dimensional powers onto our weather patterns (explaining why I have controlled lightning strikes, controlled hurricanes, controlled drought, etc.) and other areas of interest...to bring about cause-and-effect results! And because...the what and why of it...would be so alien to my own human brain (in the understanding of it) they had to lead me gently into it...blocking out a lot of it...just feeding me the barest instructions on how to use the little information they gave me...and enlightening me gradually, as they ascertained I could adjust to the new knowledge. Since it is all in the abstract, really...this was all that they could do! (And this is the process still going on.) Another thing I want to tell you is...how my miracles are being repressed and shut from the public view! Let me briefly review one of the best miracles I have ever done...control of the government radar installation. Bill Richards, FAA radar expert and controller of the huge FAA radar installation just outside Cape Charles...took me to that radar installation at night...and I produced 25-50 UFO's on the radar screen! Even more...I produced multiple strobes (spokes) all around the screen after telling him I would try to do so! Even more...in doing that I used the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on the radar screen as a "bullseye" for my PK attack, to produce the strobes. After the experiment I told him jokingly I hoped that in producing those strobes I wouldn't cause the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to be wrecked! Also I told him that it hadn't occurred to me...but I had unwittingly loosed "psi-force" in the Chesapeake Bay area covered by the radar's reach...and to watch for airplanes down, ship accidents, freak things happening, etc. Following this radar demonstration, several days later, planes began to crash...one right after the other...four huge planes in five days...then more. Also the aircraft carrier Forrestal caught fire. Then...THE CHESAPEAKE BAY BRIDGE WAS WRECKED! By a runaway giant barge. (Neither the sailor charged with the carrier fire or the runaway barge...was to blame. The "psi-force" "used" them as tools!) All right. So much for that. (And remember that Bill signed a notarized statement right after the experiment, that it was all true!) Well, after the Bay Bridge was wrecked...Bill came over to my house and told me that he was in big trouble. Seems that his superior in the FAA had called him in...and let him know that he could lose his job (and home and everything)...if further word of my radar demonstration got out! So there it is...if I go on radio or TV how can I describe my ONLY miracle done with government experts present, and performed on scientific government instruments? Without getting Bill fired? Dirty pool, right? Owens === Page 2 of 15 January 22, 1973 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS The Si's communicated with me last night...and told me to pass on this message to the human race...from them. Since no government takes me seriously...and just a few scientists are even interested...they deem it necessary to give a demonstration of their powers, further...in order to prove that they are real...and that I am indeed a living link with them, as no other human being is. This last year was called "The Year of the Flood" (a special television show to that effect, outlining the many floods and heavy rainfall...which I had in fact predicted in Brad Steiger's book, "What The Seers Predict For 1972" a year ahead of time.) All right. Ahead is NOT the year(s) of the flood. But the REVERSE. The Si's are going to produce world-wide drought, intense heat, and LACK of rainfall and water. Otto Binder once asked me, "Ted, which plague are we in now?" The above is it. Owens (PK Man) === Page 3 of 15 2710 Graham Street, Grand Prairie, Texas 75050. January 11, 1973. Mr. Ted Owens, PK Man, P. O. Box 48, Cape Charles, Virginia 23310. Dear Ted: The early part of Christmas evening, Monday, December 25, 1972, could have proved to be more saddening than it was, had not it been for our true and great friend TED OWENS, whose belief in the power of the Almighty has unfolded many miracles. In commentaries pertaining to the kind and famous TED OWENS, reference is often made to "PK Men," the interpretation of which applies to "earthly psychokinesis for Ted has been allowed to tap a reservoir of powers called the ODE forces. ODE stands for 'Other Dimensional Effects.'" The foregoing facts have been quoted from the April 1971 issue of SAGA by Otto O. Binder, a brilliant and enlightening summary of how Mr. Owens came into possession of his fantastic powers, and why the Saucer Intelligences chose him to be the Agent for their vital missions to Earth. Authority has not been given to me by "Saga"; however, on page 4 of the magazine in the lower left-hand corner, there is a statement relative to permission being granted to communications to quote from the issue. Should it be necessary for me to have authority to cite passages, compliance will be made. Because of icy weather conditions (Thursday, January 11, 1973) making it impossible to drive this morning, it was necessary for us to remain at home. The leisure time has afforded an opportunity to begin this letter-report. Incidentally, from daylight, the sky has been overcast and the fields, trees, shrubs, and ground are clothed in snow, making the outdoors a winter wonderland. It must have been destined that today be the day to make preparation to record what is an undeniable MIRACLE. Shortly after dawn, I glanced out the windows, especially on the north and east, and to amazement, many American Robins, possibly 100, were ensconced in the snow-laden area. The other birds that had been a part of the haven throughout the months, such as the Cardinals, the Blue Jays, the Mockingbirds, the English Sparrows were riotous because of the other birds on the wing. To this point, at approximately 2:00 p.m., the sun has remained obscure except for the few moments much earlier when the American Robins were chirpingly seeking a repast. Through the smoke-grey clouds, the sun appeared partially and the color emitted was shimmering gold, with evident tones of the Robin-Red Breast. All these facts dovetail. The courageous Negro postman who brings our mail to the box outside the gate was so dismayed when learning that Rita had been injured. A day or so later, in the box was an unstamped envelope addressed to "Miss Kennedy." The card bore a picture of a Robin standing on a beautiful nest sheltering four blue eggs. In the background was an array of apple blossoms. The inside gave a message: "Best wishes for a speedy recovery!" Then following: "From your Postman Don Worthington" (NOTE: Ted, the named gentleman is the one who frequently delivers your treasured correspondence.) The reverse of the card carried the following data: "Robin "With his head thrown back, the herald of Spring joyously carols her advent. Robins follow the edge of Spring in their migratory flight northward, often advancing as much as 40 miles a day. They have been known to breed as far north as the tree limit in Canada and Alaska. The breast is brick red; head black; grey back; yellow bill; and streaked whitish throat. Their diet consists of earthworms, insects and fruit." === Page 4 of 15 Page 2 I have just looked out--no sign of our bird visitors; perhaps, they are completing another lap of the journey. Now, to resume the true facts of the night of December 25, 1972. Maria and I were absent from home for over an hour. Upon our return, a knock at the entrance in the rear did not bring Rita. Somehow, there was apprehension; finally, after a brief period, she answered the door. It was easily detected that she had been injured. Her entire right side was affected by a fall on the irregularly-placed brick walk, which was a few inches above ground level. After knowing that the injuries were not of a nature that would correct themselves, a period of rationalization proved that it would be poor judgment to endeavor to communicate with an orthopaedic specialist then. The following morning, Tuesday, December 26, 1972, Rita arose courageously. She made no complaints, but the right arm was frighteningly swollen and bruised as well as other areas. Quickly, it was determined that medical aid was imperative. Through the grace of God, I recalled the name of the doctor who, at one time, treated our deceased sister Margaret. I communicated with his office and the assistant stated that when he was located, I would receive a call; at about 9:30 a.m., the nurse called and asked for details. An appointment was arranged for 1:00 p.m. The schedule was kept. Rita was later taken to an examination room, and shortly, Dr. A. O. Loiselle enters. We had not met until that day, December 26, 1972. When he viewed Rita's arm and body, he commented that "This is what you call black and blue." Upon determining the diagnostic course to pursue, he carefully examined the arm which Rita could not raise. He lifted it and rotated it cautiously. Other phases of the examination were made; then Dr. Loiselle gave orders for X ray, including the complete pelvic region. Soon, the Radiologist called for Rita. After a reasonable length of time, she was assigned to the waiting room, after which the doctor called for her. We entered the area where he was seated before the photographs obtained. Dr. Loiselle told Rita that he did not understand how she stood the pain when he elevated the arm. The necessity of prompt attention was evident. He stated that her case was an emergency, and that she would have to enter the hospital immediately with an operation the following morning, which would have been Wednesday, December 27, 1972. This report was so saddening, and after glancing out the window, I turned and said: "Doctor, is there some other way?" He stated that there was no other way to get her well. He then telephoned St. Paul Hospital, making arrangements for immediate entrance. Also, the proper one in the Operating Room was called; he gave instructions and spoke of having pins, etc., in readiness. Naturally, we were stunned, and after the doctor gave Maria instructions on the safest and quickest root to the hospital, we were on our way. Rita, after a delay upon our arrival, was placed in a wheel chair and was assigned to Room 221. Our stay that afternoon and early evening was one of anguish of mind. Ted, since we are "disc people," the answer came to us that you be informed of the facts and the promise was sealed with a kiss on Rita's cheek. Upon reaching home, the call was placed, and in a brief span, you answered. To hear your voice imparted strength. I informed you who I was and you exchanged greetings of the Season. I recall crying when mentioning Rita's serious injury. You asked for details, which were reasonably complete. You told us not to worry and that Rita would be all right. (NOTE: 3:51 p.m., January 11, 1973--At this moment, the sun broke through and is shining in the window.) Returning to our conversation: You said that you were sending an Angel for Rita who would remain with her throughout the night and for the rest of her life. You said you would put the Rainbow Rays, the Healing Lights, around her. Did you speak of forming a link to mental help? In excitement, my interpretation may have gone awry. Ted, you stressed that when Rita was in the operating room that the DISCS be held in our right hands. The morning of Wednesday, December 27, 1972, Maria and I arrived at Room 221 at around 8:50 a.m. I inquired of Rita if I might put some lotion on her face; this thought was a welcomed one because her complexion felt parched from the scrubbing that had been given. At the time a nurse came in and inquiry was made if Rita could have lotion on her face. The nurse said "Absolutely not; she is not to have makeup to go to surgery." She was then given an === Page 5 of 15 Page 3 injection in her left upper arm, and we were informed that she was due in the operating room within 30 minutes. Shortly, thereafter, the nurse returns with apology. It was stated that she was assigned to the operating room at once. An attendant and other personnel appeared, and she was placed on the conveyor with effort. As she was wheeled from the room, we placed a kiss on her forehead; soon, she was out of sight. In the waiting room, a number of anxious individuals were patiently awaiting the appearance of the various surgeons who would give a current report to family members. The aura of apprehension prevailed, and had not the power which you were sending to us continued to encompass our realm, we may have engaged in consoling words to others. The DISCS, though, which were being comfortingly held, kept us in strengthening obedience and our minds were not receptive to negativity. After a prolonged period, a doctor, after surgery, came to see a waiting member of someone. The doctor, coincidentally, was the one who so capably handled Maria's case at the Emergency Section of St. Paul Hospital during the Holiday Season several years ago. From a floral arrangement, the finger had been pricked and blood poisoning was setting in. As that doctor turned to walk away, I commented that that was Dr. Morris. I quickly departed and called to him. He turned, and after immediate identification and a brief account of the case which he had handled for us, recognition was evident in his kindly face. As I stood there, Rita's surgeon, Dr. A. O. Loiselle comes through a door. To relieve the situation, he made an apropos remark; then I promptly explained why I was in conversation with another doctor. Dr. Loiselle steps to the side of the corridor and very triumphantly said: "With the first attempt, the shoulder went into place and I did not have to operate." I emphatically stated, "Doctor, that was a miracle." He smilingly acquiesced. During the time, Rita was in the Recovery Room, I placed a call to you and gave the magnificent report to Martha, your wife; that night I communicated with you and gratefully told you of the miracle which you performed through all the powers you possess as PK Man and the Agent for Saucer Intelligence. To you, we bow in homage. After Rita's release from St. Paul Hospital on the afternoon of Saturday, December 30, 1972 she returned to the Clinic in accordance with instructions from the doctor on Tuesday, January 2, 1973. After further examination and X ray, Dr. Loiselle stated that he was never so shocked in his life when he saw her first pictures prior to being ordered to the hospital for surgery. He remarked that from the new examinations, the shoulder was in perfect place and holding. On Tuesday afternoon, January 9, 1973, Dr. Loiselle made additional X rays and even though the extensive bruised areas remained, another very favorable report was given. Another appointment is set for Tuesday, January 23, 1973, at which time Dr. Loiselle will remove bandaging which has kept the arm immovable, but with the use of the right hand. Prior to leaving the doctor's office on January 9, 1973, Rita asked the doctor if he would record on a memorandum sheet just what happened. I quote from the notation: "Fracture Surgical neck right humerus" Should it be necessary to further verify the foregoing account, there are in our possession itemized statements which, among other necessities, preparations were made for transfusion service; and as requested in consultation by Dr. Loiselle: "For the personal welfare of his patients, your surgeon has requested the services of a physician specialized in anesthesia whose name is Franz W. Matos, M. D." To the best of my knowledge and belief the above and foregoing instrument is a true and correct statement of the facts. Your devoted friend, Rita P. Kennedy Maria J. Kennedy Francis S. Kennedy (ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ATTACHED) === Page 6 of 15 Mr. Ted Owens c/o Saga Magazine Amazing!! Answer. Book Vancouver Jan. 27/73 Dear Mr. Ted Owens On August 30, 1971 at 11:30 A.M. I was working on the deck of a ship loading lumber. I was knocked from the deck of the ship by a 4 ton load of lumber. The load of lumber struck me with such force that I landed on the dock rail 20 feet away and 20 feet down, then I bounced off the rail and struck the side of the ship, I bounced off the ship and landed another 20 feet down onto a log, I then fell off the log into the water and drowned, 15 minutes later my foreman jumped into the water, located me under the dock, pulled me out and restored my breathing. All my ribs were broken, my ribs punctured my lungs, liver, kidneys and spleen, my neck was broken, my collar bone and shoulder blade were broken, all the bones in my left hand were broken. I was only 5 days in a hospital bed. On the 6 day I walked up and down 6 flights of stairs in the hospital. I had a very bad head injuries that destroyed all feeling of pain. I never had any feeling of pain during my accident or after. I still have no pain. I need your help in communicating with U.F.O. Space intelligence. I have to find out why I was brought back from the dead and I would like to know why I am suffering no pain. I have always been a bad boy and very puzzled. === Page 7 of 15 (my age is 60) Sincerely yours. Joe. J. Beisig Joe J. Beisig 876 GRANVILLE ST.

If you have been following my experiment... to control the weather all over the U.S. to warmth for the winter... I refer you back to my letter of Oct. 25, 1972: "...and arrange for one (or two) on the far side of the earth) to reflect the sun's rays onto THIS side of the earth, these rays to then be reflected downward onto OUR side of the earth by the one or two huge UFO's on THIS side." Now, please note the above wording that I used... and then note what has happened to the weather. On the West Coast area where I live IT HAS BEEN LIKE JUNE CLEAR UP UNTIL NOW AND IS STILL WARM. (See newsclips). Now note that wording above that I used... THIS side of the earth... OUR side... etc. Evidently the UFO's misunderstood my communication and symbolic instructions, and hit the EAST COAST WITH HEAT! This left the West Coast cold, as usual. (Of course, I also used the power of my own mind, too). And I think the northern part of the East Coast was cold, but have no access to weather records so am guessing about that. But this area... WHERE I LIVE... has been exactly like summer! THERE IS NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER IN MY MIND... THAT THE SI'S AND I BROUGHT THIS TO PASS. I am still, however, trying to apply heat to the rest of the U.S. What this will cause... is a lot of rain, probably... because my "heat attack" hitting ice and snow on the ground and in the air... will melt it. Already... I am afraid my attempt to "heat the United States with psi-force and UFO power"... has hurt the U.S. farmers. (See newsclip). Ted Owens (PK Man) * except for two days of cold. Owen 12/20/72 My Psi-force control to keep Spring weather here, is working! It's been spring weather clear to Dec. 20 (excl. 2 days). Where Did Winter Go? Suffolkians, grown accustomed to subfreezing temperatures and gray skies for several days, walked outside Tuesday into warm sunshine and a thermometer reading of 56 degrees that held a hint of spring. Shoppers found their heavy coats uncomfortable but easier to wear than to carry. Virginian-Pilot Photo by Nita Sizer === Page 9 of 15 Jan. 3, 1973 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS.......... I trust that you have read, and studied closely, this entire 1966-67 file page by page. It tells you a lot. You will remember my most clean-cut demonstration...when I performed the Norfolk "Multiple Miracle" a few years ago? Well, you will see the very familiar pattern of it...but enlarged many times... throughout this file. You will see lightning attacks...my sign and my symbol. (Remember Cleveland?) You will see a gradual build-up of storms and rain...where there was no rain for years! You will see how ingeniously it was all...all done. Then...when you have finished studying it...you will begin to see...the absolutely terrifying scope that my powers have. Remember...all this was called in advance by me, not only in writing to President Johnson...but over two different radio shows in Philadelphia... and in writing to many contacts at that time (scientists, lawyers, etc.) This has cost me a small fortune...to xerox and pay for folders, postage, etc., therefore if anyone at all out there...wants to send me five or ten...to help in all of this...please do. I need it. But doing it this way...was the ONLY way... It is rather strange that at this point...a new twist has come into my proof, documented proof. This is the second time...I have called on 1966 documentation... to prove a recent demonstration! How clever, how very very clever...the Si's are! No human brain could have ever devised a more clever way to prove these other-dimensional powers which I have, over the years! Do you not agree? (In a way...time has been distorted...in an abstract sense...if you understand what I mean.) Owens (PK Man) === Page 10 of 15 15, January 15, 1973 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS... Yesterday I controlled the Super Bowl Game. Last week... I sent telegrams to George Allen, coach of the Washington Redskins, and to Don Shula, coach of the Miami Dolphins... "Would you like to hire my powers for the Super Bowl?" But I received no answer from either of them. At that time the newspapers stated that Las Vegas gamblers had Washington the favorite... varying from 1 to 3 points, ahead of the Miami team. All right, yesterday morning the local newspaper, Virginian-Pilot, sports editor, George McClelland, predicted that Washington would beat the Miami team 24-10. The Virginian-Pilot # Sports and Business Section # E Super Sunday VII, Jan. 14, 1973 George McClelland Sports Editor The Virginian-Pilot ## Center Ring-Redskin Victory The Dolphins are a splendid, well-prepared team. Their coach came out points ahead of Allen in jousting with the media. "I've changed since my first Super Bowl," Shula admitted to a writer he remembered from his year as an assistant on Dick Voris' staff at Virginia. "I'm not as short with the same old questions. I understand the problems you fellows face and I can see you try and understand mine." More than that Shula has been witty and helpful, hinting even that the down to watch for fireworks today is first, that something must be done to unhinge Redskin confidence on defense. Allen has used the press, manipulated it as he manipulates all things in his pursuit of the main chance-the big game. He has turned his players against the writers as he did during the regular season. His line is that everyone is against the Redskins, that they stand like Horatius at the Bridge, against an army of Etruscans. In player matchups the Redskins have an edge, particularly the Washington offense versus the Miami defense. Brown is the ground advantage for Washington. Kilmer is riding a hot streak at quarterback. Washington figures to move the football doing the things it does best. Shula may have to gamble to make headway. Finally the intense Allen makes a difference. He has convinced the little boy in his old men that they can't lose this game. The Dolphins have doubts, bred of experience. They have been there and lost. The prediction is Washington, 24-10. SB-1 === Page 11 of 15 2 - SUPER BOWL VII So...Washington had been nicked by both the Las Vegas gamblers, and George McClelland, sports editor here (and a very smart cookie)...to be the winner. It was an hour before game time...when I made my decision to control this game. I have two very dear friends...George Delevan and Evelyn Goodman...and I decided to make them a present of the game itself. (A Super Bowl makes the perfect gift for the person who has everything...right?) I called George long distance, from Norfolk to Des Plaines, Illinois (he lives at 109 Ashland Ave.) and explained that I would give him the Washington Redskins, served up on a platter with an apple in their collective mouth...and Miami the winner. I told him I would make Washington make turnovers...which should give Miami the game. Next I called Evelyn Goodman, 6245 SW 117th Terrace, Miami, Florida...but she was not at home so I left the message for her with her husband, Barney Goodman (a PROMINENT Miami architect...that I was going to help the Miami team win for her and her family...as a personal gift from me to them. That I would create Redskin turnovers. (Here let me explain that when I give a large demonstration such as this...I NEED two different witnesses to it...a sort of cross-reference; for instance, when I controlled the Apollo 16 flight, I called Dr. Hynek and Otto Binder both...to explain that I would do so, and how I would do it. I.e., when two or more people are witnesses to a miracle...you'd better believe...it is a miracle.) Then I settled down to the control of the game itself...using ODF (other dimensional force)...and it worked beautifully. If you saw the game...then you KNOW it was not the REGULAR Washington Redskin team you were watching! Also...the same freak plays...tipped plays...were in evidence just like they were in that other famous game I controlled, Super Bowl, between the Colts and the Cowboys. You will note here...that the Redskins had an easy touchdown opportunity...but the goalpost "accidentally" deflected the ball! In closing...the "PK" or "ODF" attack cannot win a ball game by itself...the team it is helping must cash in...on scoring situations set up by my incredible powers. Miami has a fine team, a top team...and did just that. In effect, the Redskins were facing, not just one opponent...but two opponents...the Dolphins, and PK Man with the most amazing powers in the history of the world! Owens "PK MAN" SB-2 === Page 12 of 15 To Whom It May Concern: Yesterday, Sunday, January 14, 1973, Ted Owens called me long distance at 2:30 p. m. just minutes before the beginning of the Super Bowl VII game. Ted Owens told me that he would use his abilities in psychokinesis (PK) to hold back the Washington Redskins from scoring thus giving the Miami Dolphins a decided advantage. In fact, the Washington Redskins were completely scoreless until the fourth quarter. The Dolphins won 14-7 against Washington. I swear that this is a true and accurate statement of facts as I know them. George E. Delavan George E. Delavan 109 Ashland ave.

W. DIESTELHORST SB-4 === Page 14 of 15 1/15/73 the Redskins had a glittering opportunity to slice a 14-point deficit in half. With six minutes left the Redskins had moved to the Miami 10 with a resolute drive reminiscent of the offense which had brought them to this game. In a second and six situation, Billy Kilmer, the 32-year-old Redskin quarterback who had twice been intercepted, dropped back and fired a pass toward Jerry Smith in the rear of the end zone. "It was," Smith said softly afterward, "a touchdown. It had to be. All I had to do was catch it. That makes it 14-7 and the next touchdown ties it." The Washington tight end shook his head. The ball never reached him, of course. In mid-flight it caught a piece of the goalpost and was deflected. "It just barely hit the bar," Smith said. Sammy Baugh said much the same thing the last time the Redskins were in a title game - in Cleveland against the Rams in 1945. That pass, though, Baugh threw from his end zone. Striking an upright, the ball fell into the end zone for a safety in a game Washington lost, 15-14. The interruption this time was less dramatic, just as disasterous to a team that was badly outplayed. # Nixon Sadly Praises 1/15/73 KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP) -- President Nixon watched with dismay Sunday as his favorite football team, the Washington Redskins, lost to Miami, 14-7, in what he called "one of the best Super Bowl games ever." "That was a fine game," Nixon said, in comments relayed by deputy press secretary Neal Ball, "... because there was suspense right up to the end." "The people of Washington and the people of Miami can both be proud of their teams," Nixon said. "They played well." Aides said they expected Nixon would telephone the coaches of the rival teams on Monday. The chief executive watched the game on television with his close friend and neighbor C. G. (Bebe) Rebozo, a Key Biscayne banker. The two drove to Rebozo's second home on this island 50 miles south of Miami to watch the game. While the game was in progress, aides said Nixon and Rebozo ate a seafood dinner. After the game, Nixon left for his Key Biscayne home. === Page 15 of 15 January 22, 1973 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS..........

This last year was called "The Year of the Flood" (a special television show to that effect, outlining the many floods and heavy rainfall...which I had in fact predicted in Brad Steiger's book, "What The Seers Predict For 1972" a year ahead of time.) All right. Ahead is NOT the year(s) of the flood. But the REVERSE. The Si's are going to produce world-wide drought, intense heat, and LACK of rainfall and water.

After that it will be possible for me...to come to where you are...and train you in the priceless "Si System" given to me by the UFO's...and generally described in the February 1971 Saga magazine article. The Si System, once you have been trained...will give you super mental powers. Not only are you made a master of autohypnosis...but that is only the beginning. Then special "mechanisms" are built into your brain, with triggers...so that for the rest of your life you will be able to cope...with anything. You will be able to do...what other human beings cannot do. People have flown to me in Cape Charles, Virginia, from all over the world... for this specialized training (which takes two days). I can only remain out in California (or Hawaii) for a limited amount of time... thereby can only train a limited amount of pupils. And this training that I give...cannot be found elsewhere in the world. If you wish this training...you must donate a substantial amount of money by money order...in advance of my coming out...to help me carry on my work and research. I will leave it up to you...but it must be substantial. My time is priceless (and you will understand, if you have read about my work). Currently you may read of my predictions for 1973 in "Predictions For 1973" by Glenn McWane, paperback, at your bookstore. Also at your library or bookstore there is now a book, "Occult America" by John Godwin (Doubleday, hardcover) which touches on my work, and has my photograph. And if you wish to get a book covering more of my work...which will go into bookstores in April...get "Revelation: The Divine Fire" by Brad Steiger, $7.95, 104 1/2 Washington St., Decorah, Iowa, 52101. Also on the newsstands at the present time...is "Saga Annual for 1973"... with an article by Otto Binder...which points out that with my staggering, fantastic mental powers...I could be the only human capable of saving the United States itself!

Rock Road, # 607, Wichita, Kansas 67206 Dear Mr Owens, 10 March 73 This long overdue letter will attempt to bring you up to date on my activities since last seeing you in Jan. Enclosed you will find copies of my law application for your file; please excuse the errors in my personal one as it was hastily copied by my grandfather's secretary - the original of course was without these. Two days ago I received word that I was not accepted to Harvard. As you are well aware, my brother and I have been toying with the idea of sailing around the world. The past two days have firmed that decision and although I have not received word from the three other law schools to which I have applied, I have decided to forego that study for at least two years. The trip looks quite possible if my brother and I liquidate our belongings. We anticipate it will === Page 3 of 17 2 take eight months of training after my separation from the Air Force on 3 Aug of this year to prepare sufficiently let's hope the stock market recovers also to a least the break even point. I enjoyed the material you have been sending, it is most impressive. The following is the statement you asked for: Having never met Mr Ted Owens (PK man) other than over the phone, upon arriving in Cape Charles at 6AM on Monday, January 8, 1973, I proceeded to a local hotel for 5 1/2 hours of sleep. It was during this time that a dream occurred including Mr Owens, my two brothers and myself. The locale appeared to be a Texas ranch. Mr Owens was driving my two brothers and I in a circular car along a fence adjacent to a barn and corral. Here we were to be taught === Page 4 of 17 3 to fly without artificial aid. This was necessitated to escape the charge of two opposing horses. The feeling was very real and quite exciting. Mr Owens in person was as he appeared in the dream. One clarification, I had seen pictures of Mr Owens before meeting him. Note: Here is the 3rd pupil of mine to have "night phenomena occur while here! Ted Although I have failed to write Mensa I must do so as must I finish transcribing the tapes To allow me to practice more readily I have not attempted any contact in the country yet but will soon, weather permitting speaking of weather, until recently we in Kansas have experienced several weeks of repeated cycles namely extremely warm temperatures followed by equal cold temps accompanied by snow. This cycle repeated itself every week for four to six weeks at least. Mr Owens, I would be very interested === Page 5 of 17 March 15, 1973 Dear Joe: Your letter is amazing. Not only because you survived... but because recently I got another one like it! FIFTEEN TONS fell on one of my Disc People (he was wearing my disc at the time.) He survived... and wrote me "Thank God I had your disc!" Enclosed is xerox copy of his letter. Joe... did you have my disc? Have you EVER written to me? As you can see from his letter... his recovery was amazing too, and without pain. Please let me know as soon as possible if you had my disc. If not... then GET ONE. You say you would like to know "why you were brought back from the dead". I can answer that, from experience. You have been joined by a UFO entity, in an effort to improve mankind. It is invisible and unseen... yet a part of you. In the future your personality will probably be different than it was... and so will be your thinking. In the future... you will be some kind of a big man... important person... within the framework of mankind. And because the UFO entity (they are friendly) is a part of you... that is one reason why you feel no pain. That is ALSO why you wrote to me. Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 48, Cape Charles, Va. 23310 * He's also from Canada... like you. === Page 6 of 17 March 16, 1973 Mr. William Holden My name is Ted Owens, and am called "The PK Man".

Have done this thing twice...thoroughly documented...in ending the U.S. six-year drought on the East Coast, and the 2-year killer drought in India some years ago. I know this is strange...sounds fantastic and unreasonable, especially to someone who has lived in Hollywood and on the West Coast...but nonetheless it is all true.

Touch with "Si" symbol on it! Night phenomena Results Book Dorothy Teller 421 E. Jackson St. Monmouth, Oregon 97361 March 26, 1973 (Keep her name out of any report) Dear Ted: Thank you for answering my letter, and agreement to privacy. When I try to explain why, I'm sure you will understand. My grandson Garth was born Feb. 20, 1963 under extremely unfavorable conditions. We took him and kept him until he was 19 mos. old, then his parents took him with them to Washington, a few miles south of Seattle. He became ill and was sick almost the entire time he was with them, Hospitals and constant sickness, then my daughter became so ill herself again, that we were fortunate in rescuing him again. He has lived with us ever since. His father always seemed rather indifferent and hard to know. He is the son of an extremely wealthy and social lion type of man, who disinherited his son for various reasons, especially this scandalous mess of my daughter and her child, (also his sons) === Page 8 of 17 II Garth was in terrible condition when we got him back, but after months of lots of love and trying, he finally got back to a normal child. During the time he was gone I had gotten interested in flying saucers and had sent for your disc and had Garth, Eric (our second grandson) and daughter Marilee and myself added to your scroll. Right after getting him back, one day he said to me "Grandma, the bugs told me I should (ought to) kill myself." He was only four years old. I couldn't believe it and was shocked at first. Then he told me that several times up there he heard them say that to him, both at home and in the hospital. I have never told anyone about this before, but after analyzing the whole thing it looked more and more like it could be possible that the SI's had really rescued him from a terrible situation, which would take hours of talking to explain. === Page 9 of 17 III Last year I had to take care of my bedridden, dying mother as well and she was very difficult woman all her life. This made it hard here in our home at times for Garth and he lost a lot of school, his first year. He seemed slow in his reading and writing. One day he came home from school with a happy grin on his face and came in the kitchen and said "Look grandma I can write something. He wrote SI several times. I asked him where he got that and he shrugged his shoulders and said, it just came to him, how too. A year ago last December during my sleep I could feel a hurting on the upper side of right side of my head. I was laying on the left side and it woke me up. I was astonished to see a thin ray of electric type fire out of the corner of my eye and quickly jerked my head back and the ray that had been hitting my head hit the pillow right past. This is familiar! === Page 10 of 17 Same as me + Martha in Maine!! IV my eyes and nose, then disappeared. My room was totally dark. There was no possibility of it coming in a window. It was aimed directly downward onto my bed. A friend of mine brushed that aside as some sort of psychic phenomena of no import, but I have never quite been able too. It hurt, but didn't burn visibly. I haven't wanted to tell about these things as Garths future seems to always be hanging in jeopardy. The wealthy grandfather has been helping his son (Garths father) finished paying for his college, got his teeth fixed, bought him nice suits, golfing equipment and etc. also they have lunch every couple of weeks and no one knows what they are planning on doing. So far, neither my daughter or Garth have met him. He did buy a jacket for Garth this last Xmas. That is all in all these years. John has told Bernice that we are more or less all beneath his royal dignity! === Page 11 of 17 VII a Supervisor in one of State Welfare departments and had to be at work Mon. He stayed for week with his parents. On Tues the third day he was there, he accidentally slammed the car door on his finger, had to go to Hosp. for stitches. I questioned him closely about it when he got home and he said he felt like something made it happen. He and his father were getting out of the car. They were alone together. This increased his fear up there. Nothing one can pinpoint. Last week I was holding your letter in my hand for quite a while, trying to think how to get my situation down on paper to you. The coffee started boiling over and I took a small towel to push it off from the burner all of a sudden it was afire. It scorched me a bit and I threw it on floor and stomped it out. Later in === Page 12 of 17 VIII the day when I went in the bed room I happened to look in the mirror and there on the lower part of my blouse was a nearly perfect J burned out of my new blouse. about an inch high Garth now tells me that his daddy burned his fingers with matches the following morning. So as I'm suspicious about things, anyhow, I felt that John is only J in family. What can all of this mean? Sounds like a warning of danger for John. Two years ago this coming summer we were down at Springfield, Ore. visiting my brother and family (brother has bad heart) inoperable. We went for a ride up in Cascade mts. to a place called Fish Lake. On the way home I was startled to see a home made type of pickup canopy pull out in front of us from a lonely mt. side road. It had your lightning sign on its red painted side. === Page 13 of 17 March 30, 1973 Dear Dorothy: Yes...the Si's are definitely protecting you and yours. Your letter is very intelligently written and composed...and since I have had hundreds and hundreds of other disc-people reports...I can tell you absolutely that the Si's have been, and are, very much with you. To help you and guide you and yours. There is no doubt in my mind...that they have helped Garth considerably. And he knows it...deep down. The ray which hit your head...is EXACTLY what happened to me in Maine some years ago! We were sleeping in a pitch dark room in a lodge...no way for light to get in...and my wife awoke in the night and saw a bright ray of light NEAR MY HEAD in the darkness! Some nights later I awoke in the night and saw several rays of light, shafts of light...moving about our room. We were in the dark woods...no cars, no way for light to get into our bedroom. And...I have had other disc-people report this same thing happening...the hurting in the upper right side of their head. MY WIFE HAD THE SAME HURTING IN HER HEAD. What it is...the Si's are "operating" on your brain, improving it...and perhaps programming it for time ahead. Excellent! The "J" sounds like a Si warning...that danger might lie ahead for John in some way; or some kind of difficulty. Keep that to yourself. Your report on the pickup truck camper having my Si symbol on its side...is fascinating! Actually, the symbol is the Si code sign for me, PK Man...and anyone wearing it on them is their friend, and is to be helped. Too bad you didn't talk to the people in that camper. They might have been Si's! Best... === Page 14 of 17 Washington Dateline Fuel Shortage Feared If Winter Is Severe A House Small Business Subcommittee warned of possible shortages of gasoline and fuel oil if the coming winter is "severely cold." The subcommittee released a report on recent hearings in which witnesses said present shortages already had created a "gray market" for gasoline and fuel oil which could easily evolve into a "black market" if the situation worsens. The panel, headed by Rep. Neal Smith (D., Iowa), said in its report: "If the United States or any area of it experiences a severe winter, many independent distributors may be unable to obtain sufficient fuel to operate their businesses, heat their homes and propel their automobiles." "Even if sufficient fuel is available," the report added, "the cost of producing it will increase and the increased cost will either have to be borne by the small businessman or passed on to the consumer." Phila. Inq. 3/20/73 It's Spring Again-After Snowless Winter Warming Trend Is Predicted for This Week When spring officially arrives at 1:13 P. M. this afternoon, Philadelphia will have logged an interesting "first" - its first winter with no measurable amounts of snow. "We had days with traces of snow," said a spokesman for the National Weather Service at International Airport. "But we had no measurable falls all winter. That's a record." Spring will make its debut in what the service predicts will be a "typical March day," with high temperatures in the mid-40s, some sun and a bit of a breeze. We've already had a couple of tastes of "spring weather," in the last two weekends. Warm temperatures and an invigorating breeze brought the racing shells back to the Schuylkill and optimism to minds dulled with the dreary winter-but-not-winter of the last several months. THE WEATHER SERVICE says that both weekends represented "warm snaps," and the chilly, windy weather that moved in on Sunday is fairly typical for the time of year. Some thunderstorms - in the country, a sure sign of spring - and the few flakes that sifted down on Sunday may have represented the area's last indifferent flirtation with snow this year, weather men said. A warming trend is in the wings, so that a massive outbreak of true spring fever could strike later this week. Of course, to the astrology minded, today is not only the beginning of spring, it's also the first day of the ascendency of Aries. I am producing this weather! Dec. 6, 1972 Va.-Pilot Happiness Is . . . 73 Degrees Autumn fell to record springlike weather Tuesday, and gardeners, golfers, strollers, and sailors blossomed in Norfolk's 73-degree sunshine. It was the warmest Dec. 5 in 47 years, but showers are likely today and much cooler air is due by Thursday. As the East basked, the West "brrrred" in heavy snow and temperatures as low as 27 below zero in Wyoming and 22 below in South Dakota and Utah. Local weather story is on Page A3. Feb. 12, 1973 A Big White Blanket Keeps the South Cool The South's worst snowstorm in a century paralyzed the Carolinas and Virginia Sunday. Georgia, hit hard Saturday, began thawing out. Two deaths were attributed to the storm. Thousands of persons, including stranded Northern tourists on their way to Florida, were stranded over the weekend. Hundreds of motorists were stranded in North Carolina in up to 11 inches of snow. Saturday night and spent the night in armories, churches, school auditoriums, and homes. In Georgia, up to 13 inches of snow still covered the cotton and peanut fields, but about 1,000 persons who had been stranded the last two nights were able to continue their trips. The storm moved northwards along the Atlantic coast after striking central Georgia, and parts of Alabama, Mississippi, northern Florida, and Louisiana. "We're doing everything we can to weather a storm that has never been seen before in middle Georgia," said Gov. Jimmy Carter, a peanut farmer whose home in Plains, Ga. was buried under two feet of snow. Carter toured the stricken area - a 200-mile swath through the middle of the state - in a National Guard helicopter Saturday. About 500 National Guard volunteers, driving tracked vehicles and four-wheel-drive trucks and jeeps, worked around the clock to ferry stranded motorists to safety in Georgia and move essential workers to their jobs at hospitals, police stations, and other emergency facilities. A Guard official said nearly 10,000 such missions were run. Both deaths attributed to the storm were of motorists whose cars skidded on ice. The North Carolina snowfall "has to be a record," said forecaster Bruce Cheatham in Raleigh, N. C. "We don't have any records but I don't remember a snowfall like that." Dallas Times Herald 2/14/73 Sled sales stalled DC goes all winter without snow By UP INTERNATIONAL Sled sales are poor in Washington, D.C. Today brought a new record for the longest the city has gone without snow accumulation - all winter. There have been some flurries, but nothing has stayed on the ground for any length of time, making motorists happy. But sled salesmen are unhappy. John Gray, public relations director for a local toy store chain, has issued a statement saying sales are down 50 per cent. "When it doesn't snow, we don't sell sleds," he complained. Sledders could take heart, for in the only other two years Washington was without snow, the long late February snowfalls dropped more than two feet on the capital. However, sledders in the upper Mississippi Valley and the Great Lakes region were getting snow early today. Northerly winds as high as 35 miles per hour brought Arctic air to the area and caused some blowing and drifting snow. Rain showers and thunderstorms dumped large amounts of rain over the lower Mississippi Valley. A flash flood warning was in effect for portions of east-central Mississippi. A tornado warning was in effect for Jackson County, Miss., and Mobile County, Ala. A funnel cloud was sighted near Biloxi, Miss., early today. An approaching Pacific front brought increasing cloudiness to the Pacific coast. Rain began to fall over northern California. ILLUSTRATION # 7 === Page 15 of 17 World Drought Meat Is Scarce In Venezuela 3/25/73 CARACAS (UPI) - Drought and the effective government crackdown on cattle smuggling has resulted in an acute shortage of meat in Venezuela, the Agriculture Ministry reported Thursday. Annual deficit of fresh beef internally is some 60,000 tons, which until recently entered the country illegally. However, government countermeasures have effectively halted activities of smugglers. The ministry described the current drought as the worst in Venezuela in 20 years, and said it has resulted in reducing the weight of cattle. The ministry said if the beef shortage continued, the country would have to resort to imports to meet internal demand. Phila Inq. World Drought Rainfall Off, Britain Fears Drought Reuter LONDON, March 23 - Large areas of Britain have experienced their driest eight-month spell in 40 years and drought prospects are causing concern, it was reported today. Average rainfall over England and Wales between July and February was only 18.2 inches - 69 per cent of the normal amount. March 25, 1973 World Drought Long Dry Spell KUCHING, Malaysia (AP) - A drought in Malaysia dried up more than 1,600 acres of crops, affecting 11,000 farmers, a government spokesman announced. 3/28/73 India 3/17/73 A Dire World Drought Threat of Famine NY Times NEW DELHI - The rains did not come plentifully enough last summer and India waits anxiously for the next monsoon season, June to September. "A bad monsoon this year means famine," a Western farm expert here said. India, always on the verge of hunger, always at the whim of nature, faces a critical food shortage. After a row of four good monsoons, parts of the country were struck by two seasons of erratic and poor rainfall. In such northwestern states as Maharashtra, Gujerat and Rajasthan, where the average rainfall is 20 to 30 inches a year, only 10 inches of rain fell in 1971, only eight inches in 1972. "It was the same pattern all over Asia," said T. P. Singh, Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture. "There was a general inadequacy of rainfall last year in China, Thailand, Burma, many countries." Yet India alone seems to be facing the crisis on a mammoth scale. The reasons are many: a population growing by 13 million each year; shrinkage of food stocks to meet such emergencies; fertilizer shortages, electricity blackouts, poor irrigation facilities and other similar factors that made the crop failure worse than it otherwise would have been. The irony is that in the 12-month period of July 1, 1970 to June 30, 1971 Indian farmers produced 107.8 million tons of food grains - at least three million tons more than had been expected. The buoyant Government decided to fulfill its promise to halt food grain imports from the United States, an ego-boost to a nation embarrassed by its perennially needy condition. Now, let down by nature, India is expected to produce only 100 million tons of foodgrain in the 1972-73 farm year, nowhere near enough to feed her people, and is buying two million tons, mostly from the United States. And India may be in the market for more. The human implications are ghastly. In a small village in Gujerat, the mother of a 3-year-old boy shrieked at an Indian journalist: "Why don't you take his photograph? He has not seen or tasted sugar in his life." In Rajasthan, thousands of villagers are reported to be eating one meal every two days, and some are said to be on the verge of starvation. In Maharashtra, many villages are without drinking water and thousands of cattle have perished. In Bombay, villagers pour in from the drought-stricken farming areas nearby, swelling the port's population of pavement dwellers, now at about 100,000. "Please, please," a barefoot boy whispers as he scampers with his mother toward a tourist. "Hungry! Food!" === Page 16 of 17 March 22, 1973 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS Gentlemen: This...is an important communication especially.

Please read my letter to scientists, lawyers, etc., of November 12, 1971, enclosed. Next my letter of August 9, 1972, enclosed. Then my letter of August 10, 1972, enclosed. And finally...the article which has just come forth, written by Joseph Goodavage for Sage magazine. In the Nov. 12, 1971, letter, note that I say: "My demonstration will be in the skies and heavens overlooking our earth...and even in outer space beyond our earth." Note in the newsclip enclosed of August 9, 1972, the writer says of the sun: "...Another eruption occurred Monday in an unexpected series of solar phenomena that a scientist at Boulder, Colorado, said was "sort of like getting snow in Atlanta in July." (Note: it recently just DID snow in parts of the south for the first time in 100 years. Ted.) Now, in this Sage article...note that it says: "...Even more ominously from our viewpoint, new studies indicate that our Sun is beginning to exhibit signs of instability!!" "When an UNPRECEDENTED solar storm passed OSO-7 on Aug. 7, 1972, the chief of solar physics for NASA reported that the solar eruption released more energy in one hour...then the U.S. could consume in 100 million years. By the time the incredibly solar wind from this storm rocked Pioneer 10 on its voyage to Jupiter (at a distance of 204 million miles from the Sun), the temperature of its gas particles had increased to about two million degrees Fahrenheit -- 20 TIMES HIGHER THAN NORMAL..........Astronomers and physicists are deeply concerned about this turn of events on the Sun." All right. This was my work and doing. Note my letters to you of August 9 and August 10, 1972 (and remember that the solar storm passed OSO-7 on August 7, 1972.) BEFORE this phenomenon took place...as I told you in a previous contact letter...I had signalled the Si's TO USE THE SUN. Actually...the four giant Si's were to reflect the sun's rays down onto earth...but the mechanism involved in this...I am positive...has caused the phenomena written about in this Sage article. The article says: "In early August 1972 (the area of time in which I set in motion the giant UFO's to reflect the sun's rays onto earth)....the Sun erupted in a violent series of flares and major magnetic storms. Astronomers classified them as the most severe ever recorded...Something strange and foreboding does seem to be happening to the Sun, and it baffles the world's leading scientists. NOTHING IN ASTRONOMY OR ASTROPHYSICS PROVIDES A SOLID CLUE TO THE SUN'S UNPRECEDENTED OUTBURST OF RADIO WAVE BROADCASTS AND X-RAYS." "All we know right now," says American astronomer Giacconi, "is that something very weird is going on." "The eruption of our normally quiet Sun on August 7th was the most severe ever recorded....this was a most extraordinary solar event. The August 7th flare ran the X-ray sensors right off the scale!" Gentlemen...someone had better tell Giacconi, Chi Chao Wu, Seaquist, Kronberg and the other astronomers...about Ted Owens (PK Men). I told you all in 1971 I would make such a demonstration; and in July and August of 1972, carried it out! But...IT IS FAR FROM OVER. As I've told you...there will be a world drought.

Four Butte County fire units, once officer and the North Chico Volunteers responded to the call. No injuries were reported.

Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 3 of 16 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN On May 4, 1973, Ted Owens (PK Man, as he is called) was our house-guest at my Chico Motor Lodge, 725 Broadway, Chico, California. He took me outside and explained to me how to control weather by use of the mind. How to make it rain, even with sunny skies...how to make lightning strike. He pointed his fingers at the sky and explained how to project certain forms of mental imagery, to produce rainstorms and lightning. When he was doing this, the weather was hot, with sunny skies. He explained that what he was doing should produce rainstorms and lightning, and that a small lapse of time might be necessary, perhaps days, for Nature to bring the ingredients to that area to bring it about. Several days later, after Owens had left, it began to rain and storm. There was lightning. Power was knocked out in some sections of our town. Radio and TV stations were put off the air. I swear that this is a true and accurate statement. *This occurred in the morning and early afternoon of May 4-1973-(ACB)* Alfred Bailey Alfred Bailey Chico Motor Lodge Chico, California State of California County of Butte On this 22nd day of May 1973 before me, Edith M.

Never again. Beau and I...went to thank you, Ethel...for the kind and warm hospitality which you showed us during our stay with you. I do hope that you are activating the mechanisms which I taught you. June 1973 Sage has some material on my work. And "What The Seers Predict For 1971" Lancer pocketbook, by Brad Steiger, 3 years ago...I predicted on page 145 what is happening to President Nixon right now! Well, Ethel...as you know...Beau and I tried to trade you out of your pickup truck, simply because, as I told you...the SI's communicated and told me to do that. While you were thinking about my offer, we drove up to Chico to visit Al and Pilar Bailey, who own the Chico Motor Lodge. You called and declined (perfectly natural to do so, considering.) That left us with our old beat-up car to get back to Virginia with. What happened next? I am still in shock from it. Al and Pilar Bailey GAVE US their beautiful, lovely, luxurious Lincoln-Continental. They told Beau and I that we and our work was far too important to risk allowing us to return to Virginia in our old beat-up Mercury! But were the SI's accurate in communicating with me...and instructing me to get a bigger, heavier car? Your pickup or, as it turned out...the Lincoln-Continental. Beau and I were passing through Atlanta, Georgia returning to Virginia, when suddenly we were smashed into FROM BEHIND, without any warning...by another car going 60 miles per hour! If we'd been in our '65 Merc, we'd have been hospitalized or killed. No doubt of it at all! The police arrested the driver of the other car. His car was totally demolished. Beau and I were not even shaken up. Our car simply had a 3-foot dent in the trunk, and we proceeded on our way as if nothing had happened! Safe and sound. Now, perhaps, you can see...the wisdom and tremendous precognitive ability of the SI's! They KNEW we were going to be hit in Atlanta, Georgia! And they were desperately trying to get a bigger, tougher car around us...for when it happened! AND THEY DID. And we were saved. After the tremendous smashing crash...Beau and I could not believe our eyes when we got out of our Lincoln-Continental. The other car was smashed to pieces...the front smashed in like an accordian...headlights and other lights smashed out...then we checked our trunk...no lights broken or even scratched...everything intact. Just a dent. My God Almighty. Talk about having invisible protection! We must have it! And on top of that...Beau and I didn't even feel the impact of the car smashing into us! Best wishes to you,... Ted Owens (PK Man) Owen Cape Charles, Va. === Page 5 of 16 Death Comes In Box Cloud By John Shurr Associated Press Writer "There's people lying everywhere, some of them dead and some of them injured." Sportshop owner Farrell Coppin had just returned from what had been the downtown area of Keefeton and couldn't believe what a tornado had done to the small community. "I've seen seven or eight dead," Coppin said. "They're just gathering them up everywhere. There are supposed to be some more in the houses." The Oklahoma Highway Patrol, however, had reported only four deaths and a hospital in nearby Muskogee said three victims had been brought there. Coppin and his wife, Lois, run a small sportshop and beauty salon about a mile from the downtown area of Keefeton. Both were at the business when the twister tore through about 5 p.m. "It come in from the west and it was a brownish gray color," Mrs. Coppin said. "It was just whirlin'. I could see it on the mountain where it was blowing the trees real bad." "It was something you'd never believe. It didn't have a funnel shape to it, it was just a square type box," she added. "It just jumped up on everybody," Mr. Coppin said. "It was all over before anybody knowed it. I thought it was just another storm." The center of the town -- composed of six or eight stores -- was destroyed. A Continued on Page 4, Col. 1 "The Sunday Oklahoman" May 27, 1973 Section A Death Comes In Box Cloud Continued From Page One grocery store owned by Otis Evans was demolished and officials were digging through the rubble because they feared several people might be buried there. Paul Pierce's service station was flattened and Civil Defense officials were concerned that fires might be ignited from the ruptured gas lines. After the storm had passed, all that was left of Leo Grebb's Dairy Delight drive-in was the neon sign. It still glowed. High voltage lines east of the city were also downed. A used car lot and junk yard owned by Keith Purdom was wiped out and the trailer where Purdom lived was missing. Debris from the businesses were scattered into an open field about a mile to the east of the main part of town. Many trees were uprooted and nearly every piece of foliage in the area had been picked clean of its leaves. Horses and cattle were left dead and crippled in the fields. The Coppins considered themselves lucky. "The tornado didn't do any damage down here. It just hailed," Mrs. Coppin said. "It's just about destroyed Keefeton, though," Mr. Coppin added. (Sent from Fort Sill, by Andy Earman) === Page 6 of 16 May 17, 1973 President Idi Amin Uganda Africa Dear Mr. President: Says UFO Sign Of 'Good Luck For Uganda' President Idi Amin of Uganda saw an unidentified flying object recently and claims it was a sign of good luck for his small African nation. Amin witnessed a strange object splash into historic Lake Victoria and then "lift off like a rocket being fired but moving gently," said Radio Uganda. Amin proclaimed his UFO sighting to be of "Great significance" and "a sign of good luck to Uganda." After the sighting, Amin went directly from the lake to a prayer meeting. He urged others who had seen the thing to follow his example. This is the most important letter that you have ever received. This letter is being written in reference to the UFO that you recently saw with your own eyes, at Lake Victoria. BEFORE your own sighting of the UFO... I wrote to the African officials in high government, as well as to William Holden, the American actor who has a ranch in Kenya... WITH A MESSAGE FROM THE UFOs! The message was... for them to bring me and my family over there... so that I can save Africa from its drought attack. You see, as the enclosed news clippings tell you... I am famous the world over as the "UFO Prophet". I work under the observation of seven scientists, some of them world-renowned men. At this date I have brought about 288 miracles, which have been documented and proved, thusly. These miracles have been written about at great length in American magazines and books. I refer you to August and Sept. 1970 Saga magazine; March and April 1971 Saga magazine. There were others, but these four are the best of the lot. Then there is the book, "Occult America", by John Godwin, hardcover, which describes my work; the book, "Revelation: The Divine Fire" by Brad Steiger, hardcover, which describes my work; the book "What The Seers Predict For 1971", then "What The Seers Predict For 1972"... two different books, paperback, written by Brad Steiger, which have chapters on my work; currently there is a paperback book "Predictions For 1973" by Glenn McWane, which has my work described. All of these paperback books mentioned describe the work of the world's greatest psychics, of which I am one, of course. They call me the UFO Prophet because I am half UFO creature myself. For ten years I have been working for and with the UFO beings, and this is borne out by the incredible miracles which I have performed, with the help of the UFOs. Long ago the UFO beings captured me in the Mexican desert, and modified my brain... to make me one of them. I can communicate with them at will... and many times have brought them down out of the skies so that they could be observed by witnesses. This is documented. I did this for one scientist, Dr. Juan Arenas, of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, who flew me over there for that purpose. Now for the purpose of this letter: The UFO beings are giving you, President Amin, the choice of whether Africa is to be saved, or destroyed. That was why they let you see them; and let me see the article reporting it. They want you, sir, to bring me and my family over there for 3-6 months... to use your base as my operating headquarters... to bring the rains to Africa, and save Africa. They also want you... to reward me and my family for doing this... since my time and work will suffer in the U.S. from this six month's absence, and it will be quite a hardship for us to store our furniture here, give up our rented house, and come way over there. Let me spell it out... if you obey the UFO beings... then I will come over there and save Africa. If you do not obey the UFO beings... Africa will be pretty much destroyed by drought and other factors. It is up to you. If you like I will fly over there first and see you, without my family... to show you my credentials and ample documentation... but I assure you that is not necessary.

Before Ed stopped his car to make a hard-right turn into his driveway - we looked either way for several blocks on the street for other traffic. The street was empty of all cars. When Ed was only halfway through his turn into his driveway - a 3/4 ton pickup truck simply "appeared" about 10-15 feet from Ed's auto travelling at a speed of 35-45 miles per hour on a collision course. The driver made no apparent effort to avoid an impact. The 3/4 ton truck stopped about 4-6 inches from Ed's door - with its driver's head jammed up against the cab roof of his truck. There was no sound of screeching brakes ??? Something "stopped" the truck other than its driver. The 3/4 ton truck simply drove away after Ed moved into his driveway. Kenneth L. Gregerson Granite Falls, Wash. === Page 9 of 16 May 28, 1973 Warren Fred Otto George Al Last week, about Tuesday, I sent you a breakdown, Si info, on the Watergate gang setup. I talked about "suicides" coming up. Only took a couple of days. Congressman Mills suicided. He was on the fringes of the Gang, as you perhaps read. Tied into the Gang with a personal loan of some sort. A big one. That's one. Incidentally, "Predictions For 1973" has a fine predict by me on this Watergate mess situation. See "corruption in high government" ...and "it will be discovered in 1973 that ours is no longer a government of, by, and for the people"! Take a look. See p. 72!! Now I've one more thing to add...to the info sent you last week. The "M/S" gang, Mafia/Syndicate...is masterminded by powerful financiers in the world...Onassis, Howard Hughes, Hunt, and so on. THEY make the policy and steer the "ship"...and M/S is their muscle, carrying out the dirty-work action. Their purpose was to "take" the world...by first gaining control of the U.S., most powerful country...from the White House on down the line...so that they could make and dictate our policy, rig the Market, control things like the Russian Wheat Deal, drug control, firearm control, and so forth. And of course, with their combined finances...very little could stand up against them...since they could have anybody killed, anywhere, who opposed them. The ONLY shield against them...was principle, morals, ethics. Their money went over, under and around just about everybody's principle, morals and ethics...except a handful...Sirrica, etc....and only this handful, beat them THIS TIME. But...they'll be back with a "new ballgame" in time ahead. Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 48, Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 Owens === Page 10 of 16 Newsweek 6/4/73  Mills: 'A tragic overreaction' Waterbugger whose children have come in for some hazing. "You know how cruel other children can be." Egil Krogh's small son, Peter, got his baptism one day as he drove past the White House on a school outing. His classmates booed--and he burst into tears. But older offspring, at colleges and universities around the country, seem to be taking each day's developments in stride--maintaining the same stiff lip they always do when the talk turns to Washington. "This isn't a very good time to give interviews," said H.H. (Hank) Haldeman, 19, at UCLA recently. "It would not be helping my father." The first prize for good humor in the face of adversity probably goes to Jo-anne Haldeman. When a florist turned up with a potted plant from a well-wisher last week, Mrs. Haldeman told him to leave it on the stoop in the rain. She had a wry explanation: "I wanted to drown the bugs in it first." ### A Fatal Footnote The widening investigation into corruption at the financial wellsprings of the 1972 Nixon campaign claimed its first fatality last week: Rep. William O. Mills, 48, an obscure Maryland congressman--and protégé of former GOP National Chairman Rogers C.B. Morton--who found himself identified at the outermost fringe of the Watergate scandal, and chose death over that disgrace. The tragedy started almost as a footnote to a report on the President's 1972 finance committee released last week by the General Accounting Office. According to the report, the congressman accepted a $25,000 loan in 1971 from Nixon campaign funds. Mills used the money to bankroll his successful bid to fill the House seat left vacant when Morton signed on with the Nixon Cabinet as Secretary of the Interior. The money came from a $1.7 million fund administered by the President's personal lawyer, Herbert Kalmbach--the same fund that was later allegedly used to finance the Watergate burglary--and Mills failed to report the windfall to the Maryland Board of Elections, possibly in violation of state law. Unusual: No one accused Mills of any involvement in the Watergate affair himself, and officials from the Committee for the Re-election of the President explained that the contribution, though unusual (it was handed over in cash) was free of Watergate taint. "It would have been an embarrassment to lose that seat to a Democrat," observed one GOP topsider. "At the time we needed all the votes we could get in Congress." For the moment, Mills's only connection with the scandal seemed to be that he had fed from the same money trough that later nourished the Waterbuggers. But even that distant association hurt. "He wasn't wringing his hands," recalled one friend in Washington last week, "but he reflected great pain." Mills anguished for three days with his friends and family (a wife, Norma Lea, a son, 16, and a married daughter, 24). He denied any wrongdoing on local television near his shore home in Easton, Md., and in a taped radio message. Then a little before 6 the next morning, Mills left his house, drove to a nearby stable, Mulberry Hill Farm, went into the barn and shot himself through the heart with a 12-gauge shotgun. Seven notes were found, one near his body, saying he didn't know how to prove his innocence--"there was no other way out." Friends were stunned. "He was so remote from Watergate," said one. "it was a tragic overreaction." ### POLITICS: ### Percy's Gamble Jetting across the country these days, Illinois Sen. Charles Percy flips frequently through a pack of file cards bearing his latest Watergate wisecracks (one somewhat limp sample: "I have found far more support for my prison-reform legislation since Watergate broke open"). In a spate of personal appearances from Washington, D.C., to La Crosse, Wis., he bolsters his warm-up jokes with fat paragraphs of indignation. Watergate, Percy likes to tell the crowds, "is an outrage to decent men everywhere ... and I am one of them." Some fellow Republicans question Percy's political decency, but he is certainly outraged. More than any other national political figure, and certainly more than any other Republican, Charles Percy has made Watergate his personal issue for now--and perhaps a solid base for a run at the White House in 1976. Percy's gadfly tactic is a sharp contrast to the pre-Presidential stance of his leading Republican rivals. Vice President Agnew and John Connally both have their fortunes linked to the President's; Connally seized the Watergate opportunity to switch to the GOP as a Nixon loyalist. New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller and California Gov. Ronald Reagan see their chances rising in proportion to Mr. Nixon's injuries, but cannily say as little as possible about the whole messy business. Reagan won't even concede that the Watergate buggers are properly classified as criminals ("They're not criminals at heart"). Mr. Clean: But Percy has clashed with Mr. Nixon before--over Vietnam, the ABM and G. Harrold Carswell's nomination to the Supreme Court--and he sees Watergate as a chance to take the moral lead. Even though he clearly risks alienating GOP loyalists around the country, his Mr. Clean approach has brought him phenomenal success with Illinois voters, and he is betting that it will work as well nationwide. The President's Watergate message had barely faded from the TV screen last month when Percy introduced a Senate resolution--passed by 5-0 when the floor was nearly empty--calling for a special prosecutor in the case. "The executive branch should not be investigating itself," he declared. The President reportedly fumed at a Cabinet meeting that Percy was making a cynical bid for the Presidency, and predicted he would fail "as long as I have anything to say about it." But Percy was ready with a stinging counterattack. Said the senator: "I think it's absolutely ghoulish that the President would raise a political issue in the midst of a scandal that is shaking the country to its roots." Mess: Percy continued his campaign after last week's statement by the President. It was, he said, still too little, too late. Calling big money the root of most political evil, the millionaire senator has also proposed a campaign-spending reform act with stiff criminal penalties. The strategy may seem a little opportunistic to those who remember how the senator skirted Watergate last year in his own campaign. Indeed, when his outspoken wife began talking to reporters about "the disgusting mess" that was then just beginning to unfold, Percy all but kicked her in the shins ("Now, Lorraine ..."). "Chuck does seem to rush up front at the last minute on some things," concedes a political ally. Conservative GOP leaders are more outspoken. "He's always looking out for himself," fumes state Rep. Henry Hyde. "This is the time the President and the party need help and support." But Percy maintains that even Republican voters will respond to a candidate who tries to expose the full story of Watergate and cleanse his party in the process. "The man who picks up the pieces on this has to be independent," he told Newsweek's Tony Fuller. "If the price I have to pay for my independence is some criticism from the so-called professionals, then I'll pay it." Newsweek, June 4, 1973 30 === Page 11 of 16 # Hunt Said Not Incapacitated July '73 WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The U. S. Bureau of Prisons medical director said Saturday that Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt has symptoms "consistent with a stroke" but is not incapacitated. Dr. Robert Brutsche said it is not anticipated that Hunt will be hospitalized or transferred from the federal prison at Danbury, Conn., where he is being held pending final sentencing for his part in masterminding the June 17, 1972, break-in at Democratic national headquarters at the Watergate complex. "It is a stable problem, without incapacitation," Brutsche said, while not ruling out further medical tests on Hunt. Washington Post writer Maxine Cheshire quoted Hunt's literary agent, Donald MacCampbell, as saying that Hunt apparently has suffered a stroke that left one of his legs partially paralyzed. Brutsche said the question of a stroke is "moot--it could be some other kind of illness." Brutsche said doctors "can place no time" on when illness began. But MacCampbell said Hunt believes it was brought on by a fight the convicted conspirator had in June with a cellmate in the District of Columbia jail. He was examined by doctors at Danbury after he complained of illness. The Post quoted MacCampbell as saying that Hunt, 54, has been "deteriorating rapidly -- both physically and psychologically." "He looks like an old man," MacCampbell said. "He was in such bad shape that he couldn't even draft a letter. I had to do it for him." Hunt, code-named "the Writer" while taking part in the Watergate and other operations, will soon have 17 books in print, according to MacCampbell. SCIENTISTS.......... I predicted rather recently...that the key Watergate crooks...were all in great danger from assassination by orders of The Rich Gang...international and national financiers. Now, one of the biggest witnesses in the Watergate affair...is Howard Hunt. I predicted to you...or to Warren Smith for his oncoming book...that Mrs. Hunt, Howard Hunt's wife was murdered in that plane crash. No accident there. So now Hunt, inside prison, has a "stroke". Well, you say...if he were in prison...how could the Rich Gang get to him? Remember Jack Ruby? He's the man who unexplainedly and mysteriously shot down President Kennedy's alleged killer. (I knew Jack Ruby...he had to be ORDERED to do a thing like that...he wasn't a cuckoo.) All right. Kennedy was gotten out of the way; Ruby killed Kennedy's killer; then what do you know...JACK RUBY DEVELOPED CANCER WHILE IN PRISON AND DIED. For your information...if you do not know it already...cancer can be injected into a human being deliberately. Not long ago some test tubes which contained cancer-producing agencies were stolen from a laboratory down in Florida...and a newspaper blurb warned the thief about it. One does not have to murder with gun or knife...one can murder by injecting an airbubble into the victim's blood stream...or injecting cancer-producing agencies into the victim. And my psychic ability tells me that that is what was done to Ruby. Now if Hunt suddenly, with no previous cancer history, expires from a sudden attack of metastasis...which is what I expect to happen...you will know that my psychic hunch about all this is correct. Of course, the Rich Gang could easily hire convicts they know who are in prison with Hunt...to fight with Hunt and injure him mentally so that he cannot testify...and it would all look quite nature, for prison doings. But I think...cancer-producing agents have been injected into Hunt. And it is quite possible...that the Rich Gang have just done this with President Nixon...when he went into hospital in July (same as Hunt, but with different symptoms...alleged symptoms.) So that Nixon will come down with cancer, and depart the picture, along with key witness Hunt. If the Rich Gang "has" a doctor in the White House situation...and why not? Look at the huge bunch of top people they have, who've been discovered...then that doctor could easily see to it that Nixon be given a shot for flu...except it contains cancer producing agencies. One other thing...I have pointed out in a recent communication...that non-pros were used by the Rich Gang to set up the "almost" take-over of the U.S. by the White House Gang. Non-pros. Get that. Now think about this: President Kennedy was murdered with a rifle that cost about $13.00. An old, used rifle bought from a mailorder house. Robert Kennedy was === Page 12 of 16 murdered by a man who used a cheap Saturday night special .22 pistol. Governor Wallace was shot by a man who used an imitation Colt pistol... another Saturday night special .38, a cheap gun. I point out the obvious pattern. ALL THESE WEAPONS WERE NON-PRO WEAPONS. I wonder if I make myself clear. To kill a President...you would expect an elaborate, expensive high-power rifle. Not a used, $13 model using European ammo. To kill the President's brother, you would expect that an expensive pistol, fitted with a silencer, would be used. Not a cheap .22, a piece of junk. To kill a Governor...and with the man stalking his prey for weeks... apparently bankrolled by "somebody" to make it possible...you would have thought that an expensive, finely-tooled .45 or .38 would be used for that purpose. But no...a cheap, junky imitation Colt .38 was used...I believe made in Spain, or some such place. In other words...the incredibly intelligent brains behind these shootings...had their gunman-tool use a non-professional weapon, to make it look like a non-professional job. The whole slough of top White House men who have been apprehended... were not pros...they were picked that way and patiently maneuvered into position...so that if things went wrong, it would not look like a professionally set-up job...non-pro...just "something a bunch of fellows cooked up themselves." The shootings...and the near take over of the U.S. from inside the White House...HAD TO HAVE THE APPEARANCE OF NOT HAVING BEEN PLANNED INTRICATELY. Non-professional, as it were. The trademark of a top "hit" man...is to make his murders look like accidents, or "something that just happened, like a heart attack". Ted Owens (PK Man) PS...oh, just one other thing. In National News Exploiter, a Chicago publication, in their issue dated September 17, 1972...they had an article on me...accompanied by three photos. One photo was of Liz Taylor and Richard Burton...because in the article I was predicting that those two would get divorced. They are now in the divorce courts. There was a photo of President Nixon...because in the article I stated "President Nixon won't complete his second term in office. He will either resign, or be forced out." Under the photo of Nixon it says, "President Nixon will be unable to finish his term." Well, you are watching what is happening at Watergate now...and you know that this week a move was made for Nixon's impeachment in Congress. === Page 13 of 16 MESSAGE CONFIRMATION COPY 7010 TED OWENS BOX 48 CAPE CHARLES VA 23301 July 19, 1973 8043311208 NL TDMT CAPE CHARLES VA 100 07-19 0411P EST PMS SENATOR SAM ERVIN CHAIRMAN SENATE COMMITTEE WATERGATE, DLR CAPITOL HILL DC AM ONE OF WORLDS MAJOR PSYCHIC.

Mills had been under investigation for failing to report to state election officials a $25,000 cash contribution to his 1971 campaign that allegedly came from secret funds obtained by the Finance Committee to Re-elect the President. Mills denied several times this week that he had done anything wrong. Wednesday night he called the Easton, Md., radio station WEMD about 10 P. M. and reiterated the denials. He added that he was aware of the money but had been told that "all spending approvals and all reporting were being handled by a committee in Washington." "I wish to assure everyone that I have done nothing wrong," he said in his last known public statement. In Washington, Rep. Bob Wilson (R., Calif.), who was chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee in 1971 and a friend of Mills, said that he asked Mills if he was telling the truth in denying the reports. Mills said that he was, and Wilson said he told him, "Then you don't have anything to worry about." Morton said that he arranged for the Nixon Finance Committee to provide the money to Mills' campaign, but that he had never discussed the contribution with the congressman. Hugh W. Sloan, former treasurer of the Nixon campaign organization, has told Congressional auditors that the $25,000 was part of $1.7 million which was secretly raised and disbursed before the Federal Election Campaign Act went into effect April 7, 1972. After the special election in 1971, Mills signed a notarized statement reporting a total of $9,395 "received by me or by any person for me with my knowledge or consent, from any source." From Our Wire Services EASTON, Md. -- Rep. William O. Mills (R., Md.), was found dead, apparently of a self-inflicted shotgun wound early Thursday, five days after disclosures that he had received secret financial aid from the Nixon campaign organization in 1971. Mills was found by a caretaker about 7:05 A.M. in a barn where he kept his horses on a farm near here. He usually went to the barn early every morning to feed the horses. A hospital official said Mills suffered a large shotgun wound in the chest and was dead on arrival at Easton Memorial Hospital. There were powder burns on his clothes. County State's Attorney William D. Horne said that "there is no evidence of foul play." A hospital spokesman, asked if it was suicide, said: "He was shot at close range, he was by himself -- what else could it be?" Mills, 48, was an administrative assistant to Interior Secretary Rogers C. B. Morton when he was a Maryland congressman. He succeeded Morton in a special election in 1971. House Speaker Carl Albert (D., Okla.), canceled the day's business. Flags on all Federal buildings in Washington were lowered to half-staff. "The news has shaken us all," Albert said. It was the second tragedy to hit Mills' office in a little more than a year. His three top aides, including campaign manager James Webster, who Continued on Page 3-A, Col. 8 SCIENTISTS...

A Marine Corps spokesman identified the pilot as Capt. Eric L. Rooth, 30, of Bay City, Matagorda County, assigned to the 112th Marine Reserve Fighter Attack Squadron based at the air station. Rooth was rescued moments after he bailed out by an LTV Aerospace Corp. helicopter and was taken to the air station hospital, where he was reported uninjured. The LTV-built jet fighter crashed into the unpopulated Mountain Creek Lake Wildlife Preserve east of the lake. Marine Corps and federal investigators were called to the scene to determine the cause of the crash. Gunnery Sergeant Jerry Simmons, public affairs chief, said Rooth was concluding a routine training flight at 4 p.m. when he ejected from the craft for unknown reasons. Simmons said Rooth's ejection seat and parachute were found in a wooded area about 200 yards behind the crash site. The aircraft plowed a 3-foot-deep hole at the point of impact and slid another 150 feet before coming to rest. Dallas firemen reported small fires in the fuselage section and the cockpit section, which broke away from the main body of the plane and lodged against a tree 50 feet away. Marines on the scene said the plane apparently was intact when Rooth ejected. They estimated the pilot was flying at an altitude of 300 to 400 feet at the time. The plane reportedly was flying directly over some power lines at the moment of ejection.

Most of the world's more extreme climatic zones face droughts -- and occasionally flooding -- from time to time. But this year weather conditions have coincided in widely separated parts of the globe, ruining already inadequate agriculture and stretching relief reserves to the limit. Millions of people are going hungry as a result of droughts in Central America, Asia, India and Africa. Even Cyprus, in the Mediterranean, is experiencing its lowest rainfall for 80 years and the winter grain crop has failed almost completely. This comes after food production per head fell for the second successive year in the developing regions of the world. Production of food rose by one per cent in 1972, but the population rose by four per cent. **HOTTEST** This means that in many countries -- with the hottest summer months still to come -- there is simply not enough food to go around. In India one of the worst droughts in years has so far affected about 200 million people -- slightly less than the entire population of the U.S. The government has had to rush grain by special trains to relieve the situation in the western state of Maharashtra where at least six people have been killed in recent food riots. Reserve stocks of grain built up in years of good harvests are virtually exhausted, and the outlook for the summer months is grim. **DROPS** In the neighboring Himalayan kingdom of Nepal, British Royal Air Force transports have dropped nearly 2000 tons of food into famine-hit areas which have had two bad crop years. The Nepalese government has described the situation in some parts as "the greatest food crisis we have had in our whole history." India's southern neighbor Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, rarely suffers from the crippling droughts which plague India, but nevertheless was hit by the failure of last year's spring monsoon. **RECOVER** Further to the east, Indonesia is only just beginning to recover from the effects of a drought which persisted through the last six months of last year. Indonesia was forced to import some 1.3 million tons of rice in 1972, but estimates for current production are optimistic. The effects of even one bad harvest can be disastrous; seed stocks are depleted, food reserves run down, and farm animals are often left to die when famine forces humans to compete for the same food and water supplies. Drought does not avoid the scene of previous natural disasters. In the Central American republic of Nicaragua, struggling to overcome an earthquake which devastated its capital last December, the water shortage is critical. Central America's worst drought in 30 years has caused total crop damage estimated at $100 million, and has provoked a state of emergency in Costa Rica and Honduras. **IMPORT** All the members of the Central American common market -- Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Honduras -- face large import bills for food to replace ruined domestic supplies. But Guatemalan weathermen say the worst may be over. The first rains of the season are beginning to fall in Guatemala and El Salvador. The largest area hit by this year's rash of worldwide droughts is a 2000-mile strip of West African territory south of the Sahara desert, and unlike other areas, there is no prospect of imminent relief. From the Atlantic coast of Mauritania to the barren wastes of Chad in the center of the continent, no rain at all has fallen this year. The drought is also crippling much of Senegal, Mali, Upper Volta, Niger and parts of northern Nigeria, disrupting the livelihood of more than 25 million people. Crops are one-third of what they have been in the past, and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep are dying of thirst. International aid has so far been out of step with the extent of the catastrophe, and the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) estimates the crisis will continue for another five months. In northern Ethiopia, on the other side of Africa, rivers and ponds are dry and hundreds of cattle are dying because of the drought which has prevailed there since Christmas. As in many other countries, the chronic shortage of grain in parts of Ethiopia has led to hoarding, which in turn leads to soaring prices, and increases the plight of the poorest. Scientists agree that the droughts and freakish weather over many parts of the world may signal global changes in climate and some experts are even wondering it another Ice Age is on its way, rays back into space. Some American researchers have noted that in a five-year period the mean temperature of the atmosphere in the northern hemisphere fell by more than a half a degree centigrade, but were careful to say that this was likely to be a short-term fluctuation. Some Soviet metereologists maintain that the climate of Northern Europe, Asia and America will get "markedly warmer" by the year 2000 and link this with the known recession of the polar ice. Whatever the long-term implications of the present widespread droughts, the problem of those countries affected -- which by a cruel accident of fate are for the most part "underdeveloped" -- is present and immediate. The American Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug, who started the "green revolution" with his new strains of high-yielding cereals, has called for a world food bank to be set up to solve the problem. Dr. Addeke Boerma, director of the FAO, showed how far the world is from achieving this when he told the Paris newspaper Le Monde recently: "The world's present stocks of cereals amount to only 30 million tons, their lowest level since 1952. But since 1952 the world's population has increased by half. The present reserves are only equivalent to what the United States consumes in seven weeks."

I hope that by now...you can fully appreciate...the tremendous precog powers I have. Am referring to Glenn McWane's paperback Award book..."Predictions For 1973", with foreword by Brad Steiger. Here is what you will find me predicting (in 1972) on page 72: "Our new President (Nixon) will be unable, physically and mentally, to cope with the massive pressures, both internally and externally, of this nation. Our system of politics will begin to break down on a massive scale. This will cause an upheaval among the people of the U.S. on a scale never before witnessed. The military machine will run, or try to run, the country from behind the scenes. More corrupt politicians in high places will be exposed, and punished. The people of the U.S. will be sickened by the wrong actions, and wrong-doings of our top politicians. They will begin to take action to bring this country back under the control of its people as it once was. There will be large-scale political assassinations. The political scene, in 1973...will be a "no-man's land," a "mine field" it would be well worth staying out of. -- Ted Owens" Then turn to page 36, same book: "Anarchy and rebellion will be the password for 1973. You will be reading about corruption in the police, government agencies...etc. .....There will be a national "mania" against war, warlike leaders, and anything to do with war. In 1973, it will become clear that the U.S. is no longer a government of, by, and for the people. -- Ted Owens" In the same book I predicted that there would be more tornados than usual in 1973 (you just had 217 tornados in a week! Never before happened on record.) and that earth changes would be utterly shocking. The year is not yet over... and it already HAS been utterly shocking! Then, if you'd like to pick up a copy of Brad Steiger's "What The Seers Predict For 1971" (Lancer paperback) have another shock: "President Nixon will not end in office. Something most unusual will occur, and he will either resign or be forced out of office. -- Ted Owens." As far as I know...none of the other "great psychics" picked this up on the precog line, and certainly not that far back.

(2) Six nature attacks. # ODD WEATHER: NO END IN SIGHT THE NATION has been suffering what could be its most freakish weather in history--and forecasters see no immediate end to it. What's happened is this: * The heaviest accumulation of rainfall ever recorded in the East, while the Northwest was experiencing a drought. * An unprecedented volley of tornadoes--accompanied in many cases by flash floods--that is likely to make 1973 a record year for twisters. * Floods that sent the Mississippi River and its tributaries to new highs and damaged crops over a vast area. * Winter blizzards where they were least expected--far to the South. What's behind it all? Officials at the National Weather Service put much of the blame for the odd weather on shifts in the capricious jet streams that flow through the upper atmosphere. Dr. J. Murray Mitchell, a federal climatologist, offers this explanation: During the winter, the subtropical jet stream--which should have been down around Central America--was instead flowing west to east across the Southern U. S. and dominating our weather. As a result, heavy snowstorms hit from Georgia to the Carolinas while Northern areas remained relatively unscathed. Some major cities in the Northeast got no measurable snowfall. In the latter part of May, Dr. Mitchell notes, those same west-to-east "storm tracks" were running through the southern and central parts of the country, rather than shifting northward as they usually do in late spring. The results: A disastrous series of tornadoes--196 in a four-day period--and thunderstorms hit already waterlogged Southern States over the Memorial Day week-end. At the same time, Western Plains States near the Canadian border were waiting for their usual spring rains, and crops were in peril from Oregon to Minnesota. What's ahead. By the beginning of June, meteorologists said they had yet to detect signs of a normal summer pattern. Allen Pearson, the Government's chief tornado watcher, commented: "I think we're going to have one more big blow in the South, then the tornado activity will move northward." U. S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT, June 11, 1973 The official count of tornadoes this year now stands at more than 700, and forecasters say it appears a sure bet to go over 1,000 for the first time. The Weather Service predicts more cool, rainy weather for the Southeast through this month, and little relief for the parched Northern Plains. See map on page 102. Effect on crops. The freakish winter-spring weather cost farmers heavily in some areas; in others it was a touch-and-go situation whether late-planted crops would make it. A survey of "U. S. News & World Report" bureaus in the hardest-hit States showed this: Southeast. Farmers are quickly catching up on delayed planting, but an early frost this autumn could spoil their plans. About 45 per cent of Georgia's peach crop was lost. Arkansas and Mississippi are recovering swiftly, but much of the farmland in Louisiana is still under flood water. About 2.6 million acres are not expected to dry out in time to be planted. The estimated loss in Louisiana: about 100 million dollars, plus additional losses to oyster and shrimp harvests. Midwest. Warm, dry weather gave farmers a break in the breadbasket States of Iowa and Illinois. Corn is about 80 per cent planted, compared with a 90 per cent average at this season. Soybeans have been delayed, but the planting season runs to June 15. In Michigan, 59 per cent of the corn crop is planted, compared with a normal 70 per cent. In Ohio, it's 55 per cent, compared with 80 per cent normal. West. The coldest weather since 1932, plus a spring deluge of rain, hurt California's agriculture, but it appears to be rebounding. Greatest damage was to citrus fruit, particularly navel oranges. Northeast. Hay and potato crops are doing well--but they are the exceptions. Delays in planting, and cool spring weather, are likely to cut production of corn, vegetables, fruits and berries. Dr. Mitchell, of the Environmental Data Service, is not optimistic about what may follow the present weather pattern. Recalling the "dust bowl" years of the 1930s, Dr. Mitchell says: "This may be a funny time to talk about droughts, but I think that is what we ought to worry about, not more rain. Every 20 years for the last 100 years we have had a serious drought in the Plains. It's just about time again--and every time the drought has been preceded by several years of heavy rain." Many observers point out that a prolonged dry spell could force large food imports and make today's food prices and balance-of-payments problem seem small by comparison. A new worry. If drought possibility isn't enough for concern, the Weather Service announced that it had activated its hurricane-warning network on June 1--opening the season when tropical storms may start to spawn over the Atlantic Ocean. Oklahoma twister was one of record number which hit U. S. late in May. Damage at Brent, Ala. Nearly 200 tornadoes took heavy toll in deaths and injuries, left many homeless. my warning of drought!! 31 === Page 7 of 8 U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT, June 11, 1973 Worldgram (continued) Hunger, mainly resulting from drought, is rising in Africa, India, China. As things look now, the coming year could be one of the century's hungriest. In India, as the first touches of monsoon rain reach the hills, drought and famine are threatening at least 80 million people with hunger and starvation before October's harvest. So far, deaths are minimal. But worse is to come. Bangladesh, miserable after civil war, has promises of enough grain from U.S. alone to supply 6 million people for a year. More is needed. Mainland China, with one bad harvest last year, faces another. Drought or floods mean food shortages, hunger, and increasing unrest ahead. West Africa is struggling through the worst of five to seven years of drought. Six former French colonies are hardest hit--Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Upper Volta, Senegal. Millions of cattle, unknown numbers of people among the 10 million threatened have already died. U.S., once beset by grain surpluses, now has not only grain-short Russia but much of the world lining up to get what grain the Americans can spare. San Francisco Chronicle 13 Thurs., June 14, 1973 Dry Spell Worst in 25 Years Early Warning on the U.N. Drought Alert Rome The United Nations' early warning system for famine is signaling a red alert. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) lists 28 countries stricken by drought this year. The prolonged series of dry spells, the worst in 25 years, has killed cattle and reduced crops in wide areas of Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Africa needs help "THE UNVOICED NOTION is that life is cheap for these folks." That was one journalist's explanation of why the current drought in Africa has generated so little concern. The drought, the worst in 60 years, threatens 6 million lives in the west and equatorial African nations of Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal and Upper Volta. Spokesmen for those nations say drought has destroyed half of their livestock. Observers report some highways are littered with animal carcasses. People are flocking to the larger cities in search of food. Many have already died. July 16, 1973 Africare 2204 R. Street, NW Washington, D.

Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Man) San Francisco Chronicle May 18, 1973 A Tragic Drought Strikes in Chad Fort Lamy, Chad Lake Chad, once a teeming source of food and water, today lies like an enormous mud flat stretching as far as the eye can see in the shimmering heat. Fish lie dead or dying in the mud, which is so deep that villagers cannot wade out to pick them up. There is not enough water for them to use their canoes. This is but one of the tragic consequences of the drought which has ravaged Chad and neighboring southern Saharan countries for years past. The lake has shrunk to a third of its normal size and for the first time it is possible to wade across parts of it to Nigerian. The Year of the Famine Across the face of India last week, angry mobs were on the march. In Agra, they looted grain shops. In Bombay, they smashed the cars of the rich. In Lindi, they plundered a government warehouse. And in the town of Tumsar, they stormed the home of a local politician, seized tons of rice and cattle feed that he had been hoarding and stoned to death a policeman who tried to stop them--dragging his body through the streets in a ghoulish parade of triumph. The desperate savagery of the Indian rioters was born of hunger. Their land parched by drought, their crops dead and their cattle dying, some 200 million Indians face the threat of a disastrous famine in the months ahead. The looming catastrophe is not confined to India. A tragic mixture of drought and crop-destroying floods has crippled rice production in a number of Southeast Asian nations ranging from Bangladesh and Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) all the way to the Philippines. In China, which has just begun to produce enough to feed its 800 million people, an estimated 40 million are confronting the grim prospect of hungry months ahead. The situation in Africa is even worse. The most severe drought in 60 years has turned vast portions of six impoverished West African countries--Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, Upper Volta, Niger and Chad--into arid wastelands. "If the problem is not solved in two months," warns Mourtada Diallo, a regional director of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, "nearly 6 million people may die." Newsweek 6/4/73 ILLUSTRATION # 8 === Page 8 of 8 Dr. Sprinkle June 23, 1973 Mr. Otto Binder Dear Otto: Yesterday I received the following letter from Matthew Rosemont, 1961 Dayton St., Aurora, Colorado, 80010 (one of my Disc People)...as follows: "Dear Ted - Last night I woke up, with a request to help you, it was very strong, it was very strange, so I decided I better hep you, as my wife would say. God bless you Ted. Sincerely, /S/ Matthew Rosemont." (He enclosed $10) Now, this letter, original enclosed, is TREMENDOUSLY SIGNIFICANT. First, it is one of the "compelled" type things with which you are by now familiar. But here is the real point of it...every night the SI's have me repeat a certain formula...to improve the human race, and other things (if you do not have a copy of it, let me know and will send one). BUT THEY ALSO HAVE ME REPEAT THREE OTHER FORMULAS. One of these...I must picture four huge, giant UFO's at each point of the Earth beaming a message at the Earth, and the message is: "Help Ted Owens, PK Man...send help to Ted Owens, the PK Man." Occasionally they allow ME to talk to Earth. Since I've begun using this formula a gift was made to me of a Lincoln Continental by some people I'd never met in Chico, California (they decided together to give the $10,000 car to me); yesterday I received a brand new electric typewriter from them also.) So I am sure getting help! Others have sent me tape recorders, etc. But here, in this letter...I can easily understand that the SI method of getting people to help me...really is functional! And the man KNOWS it was strange! My formulas are gone over...after lights out when I have gone to bed. Best...

Clement Stone that he would not have been elected in 1968 had it not been for Stone's gifts of money -- $2.8 million -- and of the philosophy known as positive mental attitude. "On two occasions," Stone said, the President "gave me the highest honor that I will probably ever receive, from my viewpoint. He called me aside and said, 'Clem, you know and I know that I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you.'" Stone, the President's principal contributor, made the disclosure on KUP's Show, a television program broadcast in Chicago by WMAQ last Sunday. An aide to Stone said Wednesday the President expressed his thanks to Stone at Camp David, Md., after the 1968 election and again at a dinner. On the program, Stone recalled that he once said he would have spent any amount of money to elect or re-elect "one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of all presidents." "How much were you ready to go for?" asked columnist Irv Kupcinet, who conducts the program. "Ten million dollars," replied Stone, who gave the President $2 million in 1972, for a four-year total of $4.8 million. "Now, keep this in mind," Stone said May 28 in an interview with Michael Ryan of Granada Television in Britain. "Everything is relative. With a family worth in those days (the 1960s) better than $450 million, what's a million or two, particularly when you can change the course of history according to the principles for which you stand?" Stone emphasized that he also helped Nixon by introducing him to positive mental attitude (PMA) in 1964, when the President was national chairman of the Boys Clubs of America and Stone was a director. Every member of the organization's board was exposed to PMA concept, and "I know for a fact" that Nixon "and his family have been exposed to it," Stone told Kupcinet. "I know that the books (on PMA) are in the White House." "I found this terrific change in this man, this drastic change, an almost 180-degree turn from somewhat of a negative personality to a positive personality," Stone continued. "I worked with him. He was exposed to PMA, and I realized that perhaps this was my one chance in an entire lifetime in which I could change the course of history for the better." Praising the President as "a man of integrity," Stone indicated to Kupcinet that he had been disillusioned little, if at all, by the Watergate scandal. "Previous to the Watergate hearings, I predicted that under the PMA philosophy with ever adversity there is a seed of an equivalent greater benefit," Stone said. He went on to predict "that the revealing of these things" in the Watergate hearings "will be one of the most wholesome things that could have happened and that Nixon in time will come up with a mandatory, enforceable code of ethics that will try to prevent a recurrence of Watergate at any level of government." Stone said he believed that "not a dime" of his $4.8 million went to any of the improper acts associated with Watergate. He said he based his belief on the fact that, rather than being solicited, he "provided the seed money. I was the one that was going to change the history of the world, so they didn't have to ask me. So I got in early." During the 1968 campaign, Stone said, Maurice H. Stans, chairman of the Finance Committee to Re-Elect the President, who has been charged with obstruction of justice in an indictment returned in New York City, and Herbert W. Kalmbach, Nixon's personal attorney, came to him for advice. Stone said he told them that "if you are aiming for a high objective, you must go after large sums." Replying to a question about the disclosure that the President taped all of his phone calls and conversations, Stone said, "I think it is perfectly proper for him to have done so for many, many reasons," including the need for "historical evidence." NY TIMES MAG July 22, 1973 THE densest fog of uncertainty still swirls around the head of Richard Nixon, who finds himself under increasing pressure to speak out more fully, release relevant White House documents and even submit to Congressional questioning. Within a few months, he had suffered an epic fall from grace. He had defused the Vietnam War as a national issue, won the plaudits of a grateful nation for his historic "voyage of peace" to Peking and Moscow--and been returned to office by one of the largest margins of modern times. Now, suddenly, the polls were reflecting a startling loss of public confidence, the once-recumbent Congress was challenging his authority -- and he found himself on the defensive, backing and filling before the outpourings of Watergate. An insistent press and a querulous Congress are asking just how much the President knew, how much he covered up. The answer to these questions will largely determine not just the future of Richard Nixon's Presidency but the public attitude toward political campaigns, indeed toward the entire political process. There may be only a touch of hyperbole in the words which Jeb Magruder is said to have addressed to Bart Porter when he learned that the CREEP aide was about to tell all to the prosecutors: My God, you are an ant! You are nothing! Do you realize the whole course of history is going to be changed? THE NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE/JULY 22, 1973 41 SCIENTISTS.......... I doubt...that any of you documented these two startling newsclips These two newsclips, here on this page...is the key, the answer... to "Why Watergate". First, note what the fabulously wealthy Clement Stone...one of the "rich gang" I've talked about before... states in this article. He was willing to give Nixon ten million... almost anything, really for the thrill, the kick if you will...of being instrumental in "changing the course of history." Note espec. that he uses this phrase not once, but three times. Next...see the New York Times magazine article clipping. See what Magruder, a member of the now-infamous White House Gang...told Porter THE EXACT SAME PHRASE WORD FOR WORD USED BY CLEMENT STONE OVER AND OVER! I.e., wealth wasn't motivating this crowd power, only incidentally...what WAS motivating these national and internat moneyed creeps...was the "kick" out of being able to manipulate and control history...to determine "the course of history". Of course...in this tremendous, whopping conspiracy...I am positive that key members may have been brainwashed. Sounds crazy, I know...but note that Stone points out that Nixon changed, after "being exposed to PMA". Also, this point would explain the uniformity of the thinking processes of the witnesses before the Senate Watergate Committee.

ROBERTS Special to The New York Times LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif., Aug. 4--For two brief days in June Herbert L. Porter was a national figure, testifying about his rather small role in the Watergate drama. Then, as the major characters took over the Senate hearings, he faded rapidly from public view. But Watergate has left scars on Bart Porter, as it has on many of the earnest young men who soiled loyalty for the glory of Richard Milhous Nixon. Mr. Porter, his wife, Carol, and their three children are now living with her parents in this seaside community not far from the Western White House. He was a successful computer salesman before he joined the Nixon Administration, but he has yet to find a job, and he has plenty of time to think about what he has been through. In conversations with a reporter, his family and friends, Mr. Porter sees a positive side. He describes his Senate testimony, in which he admitted fabricating a story at the Watergate trial last January, as "great therapy." He feels he is a "better man" for it. But Mr. Porter also harbors deep resentment for the men who ran the Nixon White House, the men, he feels, who led him to the point where he now faces a possible indictment for perjury. Aides Seen Misused "The original sin was not the Watergate bugging--that wasn't right, but that is not really the issue," he said recently, as the morning fog clung to the coast a few blocks away. "Nor is the issue really the cover-up," he continued. "That was almost a natural outgrowth of the situation. We were in the middle of a campaign. What else do you do?" "In my opinion," he went on, "the original sin was the misuse of these younger people, not only through Watergate and the cover-up, but through the whole White House system. They were not criminals by birth or design. Left to their own devices, they wouldn't engage in this sort of thing. Someone had to be telling them to do it, to do their dirty work, and damn it, that's a crime!" That sounds a little self-serving, or his former colleagues. They did not exactly fight off their seducers. They came to Washington, he pointed out, with vast ambitions, lured by the prospect of power and success, in the same way that young actresses still flock to Hollywood, dreaming of the day when tourists will gawk at their footprints embedded in a sidewalk. At age 35, Mr. Porter looks like a slightly older version of the big man he once was on the campus of the University of Southern California. In fact he was friends from U.S.C., including Ronald L. Ziegler, now a Presidential assistant, who recruited him to Washington in 1970. After six months doing odd jobs in the White House, he shifted to the Committee for the Re-election of the President and became its scheduling director. Concealed Data on Liddy At the committee, Mr. Porter disbursed some money to G. Gordon Liddy, one of the organizers of the Watergate break-in, for what he thought were legal campaign "dirty tricks." As the Watergate cover-up expanded, Mr. Porter was asked to help conceal Mr. Liddy's real activities, and he did. Why? Mr. Porter was a long-time supporter of Mr. Nixon, a native of the President's home Congressional district; moreover, he was eager to advance his own fortunes. But in addition to loyalty and ambition, he said, the explanation must include the atmosphere of the White House. It was a "heady place," he said, what with Henry A. Kissinger walking the halls and John B. Connally eating lunch at the next table. Watching the President leave for China was a rare chance "to see history in the making." Decisions were made every day that affected millions of people. This "mystique" was enhanced by the judicious distribution of certain perquisites--an invitation to a White House dinner, a weekend at Camp David. Mr. Porter has told friends, only half jokingly, that H. R. Haldeman kept a list of which young staffers received what. Associated Press Herbert L. Porter testifying on Watergate last June work a whole year of 14-hour days." Any national Administration has a similar aura, but Mr. Porter feels the zealousness of the Nixon White House was compounded by a special feeling. "There definitely did exist a 'we-they' attitude," he said, "'we' being anyone inside the gate, 'they' being all others, particularly the press, and of course the opposition party. On my first or second day in the White House, Dwight Chapin said to me, 'One thing you should realize early on, we are practically an island here.' That was the way the world was viewed." 'Protect the President' The highest calling was to "protect the President" from the hostile forces that surrounded that "island," he added. It was this defensiveness, Mr. Porter believes, that dictated the almost automatic response that became the Watergate "cover-up." During his testimony, Mr. Porter was asked by Senator Howard H. Baker Jr., Republican of Tennessee, why he had not acted on his own "conscience" and resisted the tide of events. "That question sounds good, but in practice we just don't do it," Mr. Porter reflected. "If you question too much, you find yourself out in left field. That's true not just in government, but in business. It is much easier to stay inside. It was very simple." Last April, as the cover-up began to unravel, Mr. Porter decided he had to say it. I just sobbed. I couldn't believe what was happening to me." He had just taken a job with a large corporation, which decided it could not "risk the embarrassment" and dismissed him. He had just bought a house in California, which he could no longer afford, and is getting out of the deal he lost $5,000. Lost Job and House After weeks of uncertainty and against the advice of attorneys, Mr. Porter decided to tell his whole story to Federal prosecutors and the Senate committee, without even bargaining for immunity. Scars explains the decision now: "It sounds corny, but I thought it was the right thing to do. I think we should let the truth come out, and let the American people judge. It would be the greatest therapy for the country. Lord knows we preach it to our children, we should practice it." After the testimony, the Porters fled Washington for "home." According to friends, Mr. Porter has found it difficult to find work. He has been linked to Watergate, and that might frighten some employers. As one friend put it, "He's spent a lot of time on the beach." === Page 3 of 8 u Scientists July 19, 1973 Mr. Warren Smith Clinton, Iowa Deaer Warren: (that dam 's;) Just a note...to point out to you...that I sent in my precog predictions to you in early June...and one of those, under "Celebrities", stated thast (that dam 's' again) an unusual number of movie stars would pass away within a year or so from the date of my writing to you. Incredibly, the Virginian-Pilot newspaper today reported the death of Jack Hawkins...famous movie star...and the newsclip went on to state the following: "Hawkins was the sixth major film performer to die...in two weeks. The others were Robert Ryan, Veronica Lake, Joe E. Brown, Betty Grable, and Lon Chaney, Jr." How's that for precog forecasting, Warren? (The others I mentioned haven't demised yet.) But I was uncannily accurate on the volume of those demising! Best.... Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 48, Cape Charles, Va. 23310 === Page 4 of 8 A4 Virginian-Pilot, Thursday, July 19, 1973 # Noted British Actor Dies LONDON (AP) - Actor Jack Hawkins, who often played the role of the stiff-upper-lip wartime English officer and gentleman, died Wednesday in a London hospital. He was 62. Hawkins, who had his larynx removed in a 1966 throat cancer operation, had undergone surgery in New York in April to implant an artificial voice box, one of the first to volunteer for such an operation. But he never healed from the operation and soon after his return to England he was forced to enter St. Stephen's Hospital where he began hemorrhaging. His wife Doreen said: "He was so brave, I just can't tell you. It was remarkable. He never complained and that was what broke my heart. "It was very courageous of him to become a guinea pig. It would have been marvelous for fellow sufferers if he had recovered. I am so sorry it did not work." Hawkins did manage to make some films after his initial operation. In 1967, he was coaxed into playing the part of a British ambassador in "Catherine The Great" by coproducers Peter O'Toole and Jules Buck. "It's ideal for me," he said at the time. "Every time I open my mouth to speak, someone interrupts me." The voice box surgery, which has been performed on less than a dozen patients, was intended to give Hawkins near-normal speech. After his larynx was removed, he had learned to speak in what he laughingly called "burps," by forcing air from his lungs and stomach through his throat and mouth. A London-born actor who first appeared on the stage when he was 13, Hawkins enjoyed a career which spanned the era of George Bernard Shaw and modern Hollywood. He was only 14 when he was auditioned by Shaw - successfully - for a part in "St. Joan." Hawkins was a London theater star before he was 20 and a stage contemporary of Laurence Olivier. He began getting small movie parts in 1935 and quickly shot to international stardom. After World War II, he appeared in screen classics like "The Cruel Sea," "Ben Hur," and "Bridge over the River Kwai." His imposing presence and personality fitted him perfectly for officer roles. Hawkins interrupted his career briefly after the 1967 operation. "When I knew I would lose my voice it was pretty shattering," he said. "I could scarcely overcome the black moods of depression that I felt because I no longer could speak." In "Catherine The Great," just a year after his operation, other actors dubbed in the limited voice parts. Hawkins said at the time he would rather retire than take jobs offered out of pity, but he said O'Toole and Buck spent nine months convincing him that was not the case. Hawkins was the sixth major film performer to die in two weeks. The others were Robert Ryan, Veronica Lake, Joe E. Brown, Betty Grable, and Lon Chaney Jr. (Caption: Hawkins in New York hospital (UPI)) === Page 5 of 8 1 July 13, 1973 SCIENTISTS In "What The Seers Predict For 1971" by Brad Steiger and Warren Smith... (Lancer Pocketbook)....in which I predicted : "President Nixon will not end in office. Something must unusual will occur, and he will either resign or be forced out of office." -- page 145 it is most interesting that one of the world's outstanding psychics, the Pendragon (who has since expired) predicted on page 204: "Pendragon did see a ray of hope. Coming possibly from the state of Virginia, the clairvoyant envisioned the rise to power of a powerful individual, who will "see the stupidity of the current internal bickering, the pursuit of further bloodshed in Vietnam, and the pouring away of millions of dollars into projects that cannot, at this early stage, benefit mankind." Gentlemen...Pendragon was describing Ted Owens, PK Man. If you doubt it...anyone who has known me, or published my predictions these past 5-10 years...will tell you that the U.S. stupidity in high government, current internal bickering and all; the lousy Vietnam war; and our U.S. wastage of treasure...I've been most outspoken about. As for Pendragon's second point..."a powerful individual"...I'd like to point out that I have accomplished several hundred miracles. That is POWER. As for his reference to "rise to power"...I hate politics, or any 'power' frame of reference...so cannot envision this for myself. But if I had it (which I do not, except for my own other-dimensional powers) you would not ever, ever, find any Watergate situation around my power position! Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens 2 Virginian-Pilot, Thursday, July 12, 1973 A9 # Thai Rainmakers Go Abroad BANGKOK - Thai rainmakers are planning two overseas trips later this year, one to West Germany and the other to Australia. Theparit Devakul, whose rainmaking techniques are reputed to be successful, said the visits would be their first demonstration trips abroad. The parit, however, said the group would not be showing the Germans how to make artificial rain "but how to disperse the fog at Frankfurt Airport" using techniques developed in Thailand. He said the forthcoming trips demonstrated the growing interest among foreign governments in rainmaking techniques developed and proved in Thailand. SCIENTISTS...when I read this newsclip...I almost fell off my chair laughing. Thai rainmakers indeed. There is only one "rainmaker" in the world...and PK Man is it. Too bad they couldn't have a "rainmaking contest" in which rainmakers from all over the world would be invited to demonstrate their skill. I;d surely like to enter that. I could use the prize money, too. But it is interesting... to note that foreign governments are at last getting interested in "rainmaking techniques". Too bad they can't have access to other-dimensional power to make it rain. Owens === Page 6 of 8 PS...the burglar alarm device mentioned below...cannot be set off by accident, mice, or any other such. An actual attempt must be made to force the door...in order to set off the loud device. July 15, 1973 SCIENTISTS Yesterday...startling phenomena with regard to me and my work, presented itself. Quite factual, I might add...and measurable, as you will perceive. During the afternoon I was teaching a pupil, Bill Quinalty, autohypnosis plus related skills...mental skills. Quinalty is a Journalist in the Navy...a highly intelligent 30 year old man...with a background in the study of parapsychology. After I switched off my Brain Wave Synchronizer and told Quinalty to open his eyes...he surprised me by asking me if someone else, a third party, had come into the room while he had his eyes closed and was in light-waking hypnosis. I told him, no, certainly not. But he was certain, quite certain, that a third presence had been in the room while he was being trained. Because other of my pupils being trained here had had similar psychic phenomena occur to them (see your file) I asked him to get down his impressions on paper, for my files and for a report to add to the other reports. He did so. Later in the afternoon he and I drove quite a distance away from Cape Charles to a highway restaurant called Cape Center. We went inside and took a table in a far corner...30 feet distance from any of the other customers. We sat there at the table in full view, the two of us. A waitress, approximately 20 feet away from us, who was cleaning off a table, called over to us and asked how many of us were there for her to serve? I looked at Quinalty and he looked at me. We were puzzled by her question, since obviously only the two of us were in our part of the room. I called back to her and asked her what she meant. Oh, I neglected to mention that she asked how many of us there were, "are there three of you"? So I called back to her and asked her to explain that. She told us, "Why, I thought I saw another person sitting with you!" (See statement attached). So here...within a 3 hour span...two different persons saw or sensed another person near me...a human who, in actual fact, was not there! It is my understanding that, in the study and research of parapsychology... if two or more persons witness the same psychic phenomena...there is a solid basis for the validity of the psychic occurrence. It is in this light, and framework, that I make this unusual report to you. Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens PS...by the way, last Thursday night an attempt was made on my life, to the best of my knowledge. It was around 3 AM in the morning when the burglar went off with a loud noise on my bedroom door. (I had just obtained this alarm device recently.) I leaped out of bed, unlatched the door... and as I did so I heard footsteps running from the kitchen out onto the back porch, heard the screen door there slam, and the steps run across the back porch out into the night. As you know, an attempt was made on my life two years ago by three armed men who had a loaded automatic and a shotgun in Norfolk. I reported this incident to the local police. === Page 7 of 8 July 14, 1973 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN 3:30 PM While in a training session with Ted Owens at his home, on this date, in the afternoon...after I opened my eyes, having been taught how to use autohypnosis...I asked Owens if anyone had entered the room while my eyes had been closed. He said no. I asked if he had opened the door the room. He said no. I informed Owens that, while my eyes had been closed, I had sensed a third presence enter the room (opening and closing the door and coming into the room) and coming close to me, observing me (while he, Owens, was seated at his desk, giving me instructions for autohypnosis)...and finally I had felt a strong impact, the only way that I can describe it, on my body, from this third presence in the room. /s/ Bill Quinalty Bill Quinalty Box 375 Shelbyville, Indiana NOTE TO SCIENTISTS: With relation to the above, Bill Quinalty said "it was so weird; it was so real. I thought one of your family had come up into the room." Now, why is the above of any significance? See past file material on related phenomena...by other pupils I have taught here...who sensed or saw phenomena at their hotel rooms! It is another "pattern" of phenomena...which, when two or more people have the relatively same phenomena occur...becomes significant...and this makes five different pupils now who have had phenomena occur here when they came here for training...and all these five were from different geographical areas, and strangers to each other...and came separately, at different times. (Exception, of course, would be the husband and wife combination who both experienced the same phenomena.) Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 8 of 8 July 14, 1973 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN At 6 PM Bill Quinalty and I (Ted Owens) seated ourselves at a table at Cape Center Restaurant to have dinner. The waitress called over to Bill and I from a distance of 20 feet away: "How many of you? Are there three of you?" Bill and I looked at each other, puzzled. We were sitting at a table by ourselves, no other people within 30 feet. I called the waitress over, (remembering that Bill had experienced sensing a third person present in my office today, when in fact there was none) and asked her why she had asked if there were three at our table? She said, "Why, I thought I saw another person sitting with you!" I was stunned. Two different people today, strangers to each other, and in different geological locations... had seen or sensed another person near me! (This reminded me of when I gave my lecture in Cleveland, Ohio, and afterward a woman came up to the stage and asked me who the man was who had been standing beside me on the stage during my lecture. I told her there was no one. I had been alone. She was upset then, and frightened, insisting she had seen a man beside me. I was amused at that time, and thought her to be over-imaginative. But not after today! Who or what is it that is near me?) Ted Owens (PK Man) (Home) Capeville, Va. 23313 Donna Froehlich waitress, Cape Center, Cape Charles, Va.

I.e., that statement will be my motivation to succeed in the experiment of the mind. This is the experiment: here in Cape Charles there are 2 or 3 pro football games on television each weekend of the regular pro season. I will find out each week, before the weekend, what games are going to be on TV here..........then write to you before the games go on..........telling you which teams I am going to control in the games coming up. I.e., I will write you on Tuesday or Wednesday that on the following Saturday, Sunday and Monday..........I will try, with my mind, to make the Cowboys, Chiefs and Oilers lose their games on those days against their opponents. Then when the weekend comes up I will dial in those games, utilize my powerful PK ability to try and control the games, as sent to you in advance..........then after the weekend is over I will clip the game results out of the newspaper for the continuing file, and proceed with the next week's letter to you telling you which teams I will try and force to lose, via psychokinesis. At the end of the season I will send you the finished file..........plus a tally of my successes and losses..........and if I am successful in controlling the teams 75%..........that is, 75% success, at a minimum..........which should be far above chance, if I were merely using precognition..........then I get my statement. I would hope that this meets with your approval. As you know from a contact letter not long ago..........I successfully controlled a radar installation with my mind (and FAA nearly had a fit when the fact got out)..........it was documented, with a signed, notarized statement from the government expert present. Well, since the UFO's that I work for and with insist that my mental power (power, not knowledge) is steadily increasing as time goes by..........I submit that this pro football demonstration would be an acceptable way to measure, or check out, this allegedly increasing mental power. There will be no effort to injure players..........just to force certain teams to make mistakes and errors and thus lose their games. I would also try to cause power blackouts in the stadiums of the games that I am attempting to control..........we would keep track of this; or, I would..........and I would attempt to make weird, unusual things happen at the games, also. I.e., the experiment would be much like my control of the Apollo 16 flight where I called Dr. Hynek and told him that I would "give the astronauts fits" then I proceeded to do so. I would be giving the key teams each weekend "fits" to try and make them lose their games. === Page 2 of 15 2 Now, the Si's (UFO entities that I work with) had previously instructed me to cease this experimentation of using PK or psi force in sports... and to stand by for a new assignment. And I had done so up until two weeks ago...when suddenly they communicated with me and told me to fly to different points of the world, blocking hurricanes from hitting land, stopping volcanos which might be threatening humans, and so forth. I.e., to act as a sort of "fireman" around the world, employing my knowledge of other-dimensional effects to create miracles to help the human race (my first assignment was to fly to Africa and work to end the killer drought threatening that country...13 million people are supposed to die from it, at this point in time, according to the experts...) All right...this action of the Si's placed me on a new, higher point of the psychic spectrum...calling for a greater psychic power output on my part to control huge major disasters, or disasters in the making. So evidently the Si's have measured my increased mental power and found it to be adequate to handle the new assignment. Now, I had a way to do this...obviously the new assignment would be very expensive. A millionaire drove here to Cape Charles from Florida, with his wife...and offered to set me up in Florida with a foundation (non-profit) and subsidize my work completely. He is famous (name of Dick Ross; is one of a group of six young millionaires, all under 30 year of age, who have pooled their wealth and are working as a team...I had read about him in Newsweek or some such magazine last year). He also gave Otto Binder the go-ahead to write a book about my life, which will be published in about a year from now...paying Otto $5,000 to do this. Well, I asked the Si's, in my way of communicating with them...if it would be all right to do this pro football experiment for the benefit of four scientists. They said yes, they would allow it...BUT THAT IF I BECAME ACTIVE IN THE NEW ASSIGNMENT I MUST DROP THE PRO FOOTBALL EXPERIMENT AND FORGET IT...IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT THE MORE IMPORTANT ASSIGNMENT. I.e., if the Florida millionaire flies me to Africa to end the drought there...then the football thing will be off and finished. You may wonder how I could end a drought covering a land expanse as large as that of Africa. Well, I have done this twice in the past...ended the United States 6-year East Coast drought; then ended a 2-year killer drought in India. Ordinarily I do not have to GO THERE...but now I do, because the Si's want to dramatize the entire thing for the human race; they are irked because I have accomplished many miracles...with only a handful of people aware of the fact (35 contacts). I will stand by on this pro football experiment and not proceed...unless I get a letter from you, or Dr. Targ (of SRI, who wrote me not long ago that he wishes to follow my work, or Dr. Sprinkle, or Dr. Hynek...that this experiment is on, and that I will get a statement provided I am 75% successful in the project. If I get such a letter from one of this group, then I will proceed. By the way, before closing: note the giant earthquakes (Mexico, Hawaii, etc.) and the lightning attacks over the country; the devastating heat; the floods, and so on. Then if you wish to check back in my Contact letters you will find that I notified my scientists quite a long while back that the Si's four huge UFO'S positioned around our earth...were going to bring this to pass, and that it would necessarily be rough on the human race. Ted Owens (PK Man) cc: Dr. Russell Targ; Dr. Allan Hynek; Dr. Leo Sprinkle Owens === Page 3 of 15 August 12, 1973 SCIENTISTS.......... As you can read...in this newsclipping from today's newspaper...the ionosphere vanished over Hawaii at the time of the earthquake there last April. According to scientists, this was so mysterious as to "smack of science fiction." As you will note...from the attached file...June 7 letter to you...I was working to cause such an earthquake at that particular time...but in northern California. (Disregard mention of demonstration for Stanford Research Institute in that letter...I cancelled that project a few days after xeroxing, because of personal reasons.) Also, once again...I enclose copy of my Nov. 12, 1971, letter to you...notifying you of my intent...to produce "demonstrations in the skies and heavens overlooking our earth..." This was brought out again in enclosed letter to you of August 9, 1972. And, let me point out...I have documented, on two different occasions...extreme weather phenomenon caused by my other-dimensional work and in collaboration with the Si's (UFO entities). You have it in your files. (Alteration high-altitude jet-streams) Now here again...once more...you have another indication of my powers; and my powers linked together with the UFO entities. Add it up. I notified you that I would produce phenomenon in the skies and heavens overlooking earth. Then I notified contacts that I would produce an earthquake within a certain time period. One was produced...off-target somewhat, but in the time frame specified...AND AT THE TIME OF THE EARTHQUAKE THE IONOSPHERE VANISHED! Something that has deeply shocked and mystified the scientists. Truly, a phenomenon produced in the skies and heavens overlooking the earth, wouldn't you say? And before closing...please note that the Navy's Omega Navigational System...long-wave length radio signals employed to guide ships far at sea, "began drifting and not making any sense." Sound familiar to you? Heard it somewhere before, but you just can't quite recollect? Let me refresh your memory. Years ago...a flight of military planes left Florida and flew out into the Bermuda Triangle. They vanished (like the ionosphere over Hawaii.) But even more amazing...before vanishing...they managed to radio they had lost all sense of direction...their instruments had gone crazy. Remember? Fit these two pieces of the puzzle together and they match. And keep bearing in mind that a team of NASA scientists found a UFO base inside the Bermuda Triangle...the team led by "Dr. Wright". If you are deeply interested in Truth...and fact-finding re the UFO mystery...and PK Man linked up with the UFO's...put all of the above together...and think about it. Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 4 of 15 earthquake that shook Honolulu last was the strongest in 100 years, and it comes out that it may have been the angest ever. It was the day the ionosphere disappeared, and scientists have yet to explain it. By Frank Carey Associated Press HONOLULU EARTHQUAKE SCIENTISTS say some mysterious happenings--smacking of science-fiction--occurred in the atmosphere about an hour before a major temblor rocked the largest of the Hawaiian Islands last April. "It's too much like Buck Rogers--we have no explanation for it yet," says Dr. Augustine S. Furumoto, of the University of Hawaii. "Perhaps it was just coincidence, but that earthquake had many peculiarities associated with it which deserve the attention of seismologists." An hour before the earthquake rocked the coastal town of Hilo on Hawaii Island--about 200 miles southeast of Oahu Island, where Honolulu is located--he said these events occurred: * The radiowave-reflecting layer of the ionosphere some 50 miles above Oahu "suddenly disappeared--that is, for some odd reason, the layer did not reflect radiowaves sent up from the ground." * The Navy's "Omega Navigational System," a sophisticated system of long-wavelength radio signals employed to guide ships far at sea, "began drifting and not making any sense." But then, "right after the earthquake, the ionosphere began reflecting again. As I say, it was too much like Buck Rogers.... "As for the Navy's 'Omega,' which had begun drifting about an hour before the earthquake, it hit its maximum drift just about the time of the occurrence of the quake and then began to recover...." The April 26 earthquake, centered offshore about 12 miles northeast of Hilo and about 35 miles deep, registered 6.2 on the Richter scale--the same reading recorded for the temblor that virtually leveled the Nicaraguan capital of Managua some months ago. It was the strongest 'quake to strike the Hawaiian Islands in more than a century and apparently only its off-shore origin prevented more serious property damage and human injuries. As it was, buildings were damaged in downtown Hilo; there were several injuries; and there were numerous landslides in suburban Hilo. And buildings shook in downtown Honolulu, 200 miles to the northwest. In the latter connection, Dr. Furumoto said another peculiar thing about the quake was that "our (seismographic) instruments ... in Oahu ... kept on vibrating.... "The ground vibrated for about two hours ... (after the quake was first registered) ... whereas it should have died off in about a half-hour or 45 minutes.... "We're still trying to figure out the reason for this." Furumoto said detection of the missing ionosphere before the earthquake was an unexpected outgrowth of a new University of Hawaii research project. The venture is aimed at developing an "innovative, reliable warning system" for tidal waves, or "tsunamis." The quest is based on findings by university researchers that a certain type of earthquake shock-wave called a "Rayleigh" wave, long known to be a precursor of tidal waves, can be detected in the atmosphere as well as in the ground. That is, while certain Rayleigh waves are transmitted horizontally through the earth, some others sometimes "rise" vertically and are transmitted upward through water and the atmosphere as sound-waves. "And these vertical risers--resulting from earthquakes that fracture the ground in an up-or-down direction as distinguished from sideways sliding--are rated as the ones associated with major tidal waves. Furumoto said these vertical-risers spread upward to the ionosphere--the blanket of electrified air that acts as a reflector of radiowaves from the earth--and, in effect, leave characteristic "fingerprints" in the ionosphere. Finally, these "fingerprints" can be detected by special radio signals sent up from ground stations. The scientist said that, an hour before the earthquake occurred, radio signals of the latter type, which were being used in routine experiments in the tidal-wave venture, began failing to return. And this, he said, provided a tip-off that the ionospheric blanket--at least above the Oahu stations--had temporarily disappeared. It also provided scientists with another mystery to probe. === Page 5 of 15 A.

Sketch by Gaspar Vilato, Associated Press === Page 6 of 15 TO MY SEVEN SCIENTISTS... I made these earthquakes happen. See enclosed copy of letter to Al and Pilar Bailey, dated March 11, 1973. I had also notified Stanford Research Institute, and others... that I would to produce quakes. It took over 30 days... but well within my 60-day limit. Four quakes measuring 3.5 on the Richter struck below San Francisco. Below there, the Mexican coast was hit by a 5.0 quake. And Hawaii was hit by a quake that "shook the island like a rug." My "target shooting" therefore, was a bit off... but I did hit the target, if not the bullseye of the target. Now, today I communicated with the SI's (Control).. and requested permission to give a further demonstration to Stanford Research Institute in the days, weeks and months ahead. They agreed today, although a few weeks ago they had nixed this request. So now I will go ahead. What I am going to do, to impress Stanford Research Institute, is: (1) Cause power-blackouts (2) Cause earthquakes. (3) Make wild storms. (4) Attack with lightning. (5) Cause weird, freakish things to happen in that (San Francisco) area. (That word above is Freakish) - particularly water-connected. And... will try to cause all of this... as soon as possible, but with no time limit on it, in order to get the full range of effects. Note to Al Bailey: Al, please watch the Frisco papers and send me appropriate newsclips on this, will you please? Thanks. Chico (Calif.) Enterprise-Record, Saturday, April 28, 1973. Page 5A $3 Million Damage Toll From Quake HILO, Hawaii (UPI) -- Clean-up and repair began Friday as the damage toll soared to the $3 million mark from a rumbling earthquake which "shook this island like a rug." Teachers straightened out four schools closed in the after-math of the worst 'quake in Hawaii in two decades while merchants cleaned up stock shaken off shelves and covered broken windows with plywood. Mayor Shunichi Kimura of Hilo, the city of 26,000 which suffered the brunt of the Thursday temblor, said reports from outlying area of the "big island" of Hawaii had pushed the damage estimate above $3 million. He said extensive damage to homes occurred in the remote regions. The 'quake flattened one building, hospitalizing a man who was briefly trapped inside with a broken leg, damaged hundreds of homes and 11 schools on the "big island" and swayed buildings and triggered landslides on other islands in the 50th state. Several dozen persons reported minor injuries. Kimura estimated it would take "months and months to get the town back in shape" and said he plans to seek federal and state aid for the quake victims. April 12, 1973 Temblor Shakes Mexican Coast MEXICO CITY (UPI) -- An earthquake shook the south-western coast of Mexico Wednesday morning registering 5.0 on the Richter scale. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties. The Geophysics Institute of the University of Mexico said its seismograph recorded the quake here at 6:51 a.m. April 12, 1973 Fontana Quake FONTANA (UPI) -- The fourth earthquake in two weeks shook the Fontana-Rialto area west of San Bernardino, measuring 3.5 on the Richter scale. One Rialto man was knocked out of bed, but otherwise there were no reports of damage. All the recent quakes, including the latest one Tuesday night, registered between 3 and 3.5 on the scale.

I am going to make an earthquake in the San Francisco/northern California area within 60 days. As a demonstration for scientists. Necessary. Near your dies and you're okay! March 11, 1973 Dear Al and Pilar... am getting off today the disc to Esperanza in Venezuela. It's in the envelope, and will go to the post office in 10 minutes. Thank you. Tell you what, Al. Forget my lecture at the college. All I want to do...is just train a few, select pupils while I'm in California soon. The Si System is priceless to my pupils. A man I just trained...who'd been all over the world...just wrote and told me that what he'd learned in the 3 days here...had been the best thing in his whole life. He also sent me a gift, a Panasonic cassette recorder...which is a dandy. Jim Ferguson, in Ohio. My pupils...are an elite corps...and very valuable to the Si's, since they get advanced mental training...thus superior minds. The reason it is necessary...for future pupils to send in their donation in advance...is because I'll need to find out whether I fly or drive out there. There's a difference, and it will depend on the monies I receive in advance. Tell me more...about the radio messages you received in 1952. Go into detail, Al. My family will not be coming. I'll be much too busy training pupils...to try and cope with the problems of transporting the family. You mention the TV station...I've been on 34 TV programs thus far, so am familiar with them. Haven't seen a TV station yet that wouldn't put me on with a day's notice, once they see my documentation and find out I'm for real. Will enclose some forms in case you get any response from your newspaper ads. Your ad could go: "Ted Owens (PK Man), world-famous psychic and co-worker with UFO's, will be in Chico soon, to personally train pupils in ESP, autohypnosis, etc. For details write Mr. Al Bailey, etc." When they write...simply return the form letter to them. If you need more, let me know, Al. You and Pilar will get 10% of my earnings there...because you are acting as my informal agents. Okay? Line up ten pupils and I will train any three members of your family free. Best wishes... Ted Owens (PK Man) Yes, I did help the Dolphins win! It is thoroughly documented. But how did you know!? === Page 8 of 15 8/9/72 TO MY SIX SCIENTISTS... I wrote you on November 12, 1971...quite a bit ago...and told you that "my demonstration will be...in the skies and heavens overlooking our earth...and even in outer space beyond our earth." You'd better dig that up, and read it in full. Better yet...I'll xerox it and enclose a copy for you. It has taken this long...for my powers to get this done (space-time in psi-force is different than in our space-time continuum.) Now I would assume that from here-on...planes might be in danger, and the water attack that I write of...might be even more dangerous even then it has been (Hurricane Agnes; Man, West Virginia; floods in South Dakota, etc.) (Not to mention the worst typhoon in the history of the Phillipines.) So here it is. The power I "sent up" in 1971...has just arrived! Owens 8/9/72 Wing-Pilot Like Snow in July A closeup of the sun shows a sunspot with a diameter of 62,400 miles.

(UPI) === Page 9 of 15 C O P Y November 12, 1971 To The Scientists I Know: Gentlemen, it is time...time to give you a demonstration...to strike fear into your hearts. I am not...your ordinary, orthodox human; even "experimenter". And I have waited too long, overlong...for some cooperation, from somebody. I've marked time...toying with pro football teams...waiting for some scientists, somewhere, to make an approach. Now it is too late. Too late. My demonstration will be...in the skies and heavens overlooking our earth...and even in outer space beyond our earth. This has nothing to do with the Si's work. This will be my own...and by the time you receive this, it will have been put into effect. Sometime, somewhere, I will dismantle the apparatus. Perhaps. What I am going to do...is thrust tremendous, smashing, destructive thrusts of power...up through the skies over the earth, even unto outer space. No airplane will be safe in the air; no rocket ship will be safe in outer space. Invisible waves of irresistable force...will permeate our skies. Until I call them off, some time, some day. My powers...and ability...have been taken too lightly. If not, then I would have been approached and cooperated with, before this time. I can't wait forever; therefore the infinite powers which I possess...must be brought out and thwacked across the heads of stupid humans...to show them that a fact is a fact. Then we will take it from there. So...right now the waters of the world are turning their intelligence toward the destruction of humans. This was brought about...because my word of warning was not heeded...re further pollution. Now...the very air of the earth overhead...will be a no-men's land...waiting, waiting for humans to get up into it. In planes or whatever. If you have any human decency...you will issue a general warning to the public not to fly in planes. But...the love of money being what it is...you will not, and they will. And airplanes will fall like snow in December. I think this is the Si half of my brain talking...but whatever...it is very real, as borne out by my past demonstrations. It is incongruous...I stop or divert the flow of giant lava slides, and save villages...yet not a word, not one word...goes out about it. The Si's are not credited; their powers are not pointed out to the public. So...we go from positive to negative powers. Unfortunate. But...there it is.

Dear Ted: Enclosed find a copy of my new Script No. 2 "Jesus the Christ - His Greatness and Divinity." The covers are yet to be printed and then the binding. Few pages, due to margin trouble, I am doing over. I expect to have the book-Script ready for distribution by September. The tenets of the Script-message expressed from an Aquarian Age mystic viewpoint is an answer to anti-Christ-God communism. Jewish communism's program demands the erase of the name 'Jesus Christ' from face of the earth. That Name is poison to the Jews. The Script will also be 'charged' or 'anointed' with the RADIANCE, and all sensitive to vibrations of spirit will notice the fine-electrical energy-radiation from PAGES -of this Script. This Cosmic experience, alone, will be most astonishing for those seeking 'awareness' or 'contact' with Spirit by their physical senses. Of the Emissaries of the Aquarian Age Spiritual Awakening and Co-worker with Cosmic Intelligences, I consider you one of the greatest on the earth plane. You represent certain Cosmic Higher Beings governing man's spiritual advancement, that will be enhanced during the Aquarian Age, therefore, I am giving you the privilege, if you so desire to accept, to write an 'Introductory' of few comments to this Script. I am enclosing parts of "introductory" Dr. Clements wrote several years ago for my books...give you an idea expressing your comments. I would like to have it, if you do so, before September, so may print and insert before binding. You may examine message in this Script to get an idea of the Cosmic Truth expounded. You may keep this unbound copy. Will send you an autograph copy after bound in September. Sincerely, Guy C. Harwood. === Page 11 of 15 b. spiritual progression, instead of immorality, war-mongering, brutality, and pro-communistic, approximately by 1977, many of her cities will, one morning, be found lying in ashes in many respects. Then chaos and religious dilemma shall be the general order of a war-mongering, brutal and sex crazed society. (This could have a social or actual physical meaning) But America was meant to be great. Man, the epitome of creation, is the highest form of the expression of LIFE. The Quickening Life Principle makes man's magnificent and glorious body a living, pulsating Temple 'possessed' by a 'reasoning' and 'creative' Entity, which is the 'likeness' (creativeness-inventive nature) of the SUPREME ONE. The Entity, dwelling within the Shrine (the physical body, while on the earth plane) is the 'I', the 'Thinker', the 'Doer' and is an instrument for the expression of LOVE in its many degrees. Here and there a small 'Flame of Spiritual Enlightenment' is being intensified among a few earthly citizens and the Sacred Enlightenment 'imbued' with anointing Power is serving a purpose in laying the ground work for greater Spiritual Progression. In the early morning hours of this incoming Aquarian Age, Emissaries and old, old Souls, from Higher Dimensions of Life, are amidst humanity. Their labors of love and Spiritual Precepts are being felt in the consciousness of humanity. Great Spiritual MYSTICS are on earth today teaching of the 'Religion of LOVE and ITS Holy Imbuing Power', in aiding man on his 'Spiritual Path-way of Life'. To only mention a few: Master Kirpal Singh; Master Charan Singh; Meher Baba; Salhya Sai Baba; Swami Krishnananda; Ma Anandamayee; and Mother Kanya Kumari Sthan of the Sri Aurobindo Mission Work in India. In America we have Franklin Hall; and also Ted Owens, that great Spiritual Emissary between earth-man and Intelligences of certain Cosmic Beings. In America Great Entities of Christian Evangelism are influencing the consciousness of man, to only mention a few of a long list: Oral Roberts; T. L. Osborn; Billy Graham; Cecil Todd; Rex Humbard; Rev. Ike; Rev. Al; C. T. Buchanan; C. S. Upthegrove; W. V. Grant; and LeRoy Jenkins. And the list is long, regardless of religious faith, of those unselfishly serving as loyal instruments for the 'healing virtues' of God's LOVE to manifest through - blessing untold thousands of people over the earth, inflicted with inharmonious conditions of their body. note: from the Book, "Jesus the Christ, His Greatness and Divinity" (Rev.

Knowing that you have other problems pertaining to so many other people. I have indomitable faith in you and the S.I's. My letter of grave concern is pertaining to the people of the drought area in Africa. As you know 13 million Africans men, women, children, and cattle are affected by this drought. Realizing the grave situation that affected the lives to Biafra in 1968-69 of mass starvation, when the federal government of Nigeria invaded Biafra in their civil war. And now another mass starvation that is threating 1/2 of the drought stricken area, which consist of have of the population of Black America. Also realizing the situation of many starving and dying African children, because of the attitude of the federal government of Nigeria's civil war. I was inclined to send a letter to the President of Senegal, Leopold Sedar Senghor, which I did. Asking him to contact you, the only human on this planet, that could resolve the drought problem. I told him in the letter that it was not up to you or me or the higher powers to resolved the problem in Africa. But it was up to the higher powers (S.I's) if they wish to do or not to do for their own reasons. In my letter to President Senghor I stated that he could also send a copy of the letter to you. I told him that I cannot speak for you or the S.I's in any given case. But I would like for the resolvement of this problem attracted to the World attention that you and the S.I's and the powers of their dimension do exist.

My name is Ted Owens (PK Man)...and my ability to perform miracles...is rather well known in the United States. Around the world, as a matter of fact (see Australian newsclips). On two past previous occasions...I have ended years-long droughts over two different countries...and given those countries all the rain they needed. The reason that I am writing to you...is that I understand that a gentleman by the name of Mr. George Gibson recently wrote to you from Oakland, California. He sent a copy of his letter to you. I have not had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Gibson...but he is obviously more intelligent than anyone else, in what he recommends to you. I can absolutely assure you...Mr. Gibson's observations, in his letter, are completely accurate. My great wish, at this time...is to be sent for by African officials...and allowed to help the African people by use of my powers, and the powers of my allies...UFO entities with which I have worked for years. Nothing would give me greater pleasure...than to be able to help the 13 million African people affected by the present killer drought. And President Senghor...as Mr. Gibson states, it is true...that I am the only human being in the world capable of saving Africa. Therefore it is my hope that you, or other African officials, will bring me and my family over there...so that I can perform this service for the African people...and give them rains and water, in great abundance.

They have shown me how...to code 20-40 discs with OD mechanisms...then spread the discs over a huge farm in Canada...forming in effect one huge coded disc...making a "target" for Nature itself to link up with...in order to produce favorable weather and growing conditions for crop production. Of course, all the power involved is positive, constructive. So far, in my experimentation with this, it has been successful over quite a long period...utilizing a thousand or so acre farm in Saskatchewan, Canada. I hope to expand this work...to cover other farms and ranches...inorder to be able to document it even more widely and thoroughly. For instance, below is a newsclipping this week from the local Virginia paper. It is too bad...that some of these farmers could not contact me and set up a coded-disc area around their farm...to bring not only favorable weather for their crops, but also control of the insect infestation. Because the powers being used...are not within the framework of this world's physical laws...anything is possible, though it might not seem so to our scientists. I believe I have amply demonstrated that...by already producing several hundred miracles. My new project...told to me by the Si's just last week (and I had been standing by, for months, waiting for their instructions)...is to get around the world, putting things right that go wrong...by using OD mechanisms and powers (stopping destructive volcanos; blocking hurricanes from hitting land mass; and so on and on in a thousand different mediums). What they were waiting for...was someone to provide a financial base for me to work out of; i.e., to fund my ever-continuing work in psi-force and OD mechanisms (with a Foundation, perhaps)...and to bankroll my flying, at a moment's notice, to any corner of the globe to "put out a fire", using my extraordinary powers. And last week a man came to me...from nowhere...to talk about just such a financial base! All of the above, of course...is positive and constructive...and they have "jumped me up" to a higher plateau...requiring much more issuance of OD power on my part...so evidently my mental power has grown much more, this past year, or they would not consider me ready for this assignment. Going back to the first paragraph...I have the knowledge, ability and mechanisms at my fingertips...to service an infinite number of farms and ranches...anyplace on earth...with favorable weather and improved crop production. The four giant UFO's that I work with at each side of Earth...will beam out the proper OD power to help those farms and ranches, no matter where they are on earth...each day...as I activate them.

Worst Invasion in Decade Insects May Hurt Soybeans VIRGINIA BEACH--The most serious invasion of insects in more than a decade threatens to damage the local soybean crop valued at $4 million, an agricultural expert said Thursday. Virginia Beach soybean farmers, who farm about 25,000 acres, are the largest producers of the crop in the state. E. R. Cockrell, the local extension agent for Virginia Tech, said, "This is the first time in over 10 years that so many different insects threaten to infest the local crop." Although it is still early in the insect season, he said, the alarming aspect is that "five new species of insects have joined the usual two varieties to attack the crop." This year's harvest, which begins in October, is particularly vital because "a bumper crop ultimately would reduce the cost of food," according to Cockrell. Local farmers are expected to produce about 750,000 bushels of soybeans and "though it is difficult to project the price per bushel at this year's harvest, it should be about $5 and thus yield almost a $4 million crop," he said. That would be twice the worth of the average harvest. "To head off any possible infestation, three crop-dusting planes are spreading insecticide over the fields just as in the full swing of the insect season," he said. Most of the crop is in Princess Anne, Blackwater, and Pungo boroughs. === Page 15 of 15 Hello Mr. Owens! I can't seem to find my writing paper but these well wishes are always in style.

Joseph E. Ryan MANAGER THE MONT CASINO LAS VEGAS, NEVADA === Page 2 of 14 Witch Doctor Offers Aid To British Soccer Team NAIROBI, Kenya. Sept. 1 (UPI)--England need worry no more about qualifying or even winning the soccer World Cup next year. A Kenyan witch doctor has written to the national team manager, Sir Alf Ramsey, to offer his services to ensure victory. Sharriff Omar Abubakr describes himself as one of East Africa's leading witch doctors and this week wrote to the manager: "Dear Sir Ramsey, I understand that England is anxious to win back the World Cup in Munich and that the chances of this aim are rather slim. I am interested in signing a one to two-year contract with you with a view to improving England's chances...." England, World Cup winner in 1966, still has a tough qualifying match in October, against Poland, which must be won to ensure a place in the last 16 finalists. Abubakr, currently guiding the fortune of Kenya's most successful club side, The Breweries, described how his powers work. "I forecast the result of a game and then make it happen. The first step is to fast. I abstain from sex and recite prayers from the Koran. "During the game, when an opposing player gets the ball, I often make him see double or even turn the ball into a snake. If the opposing player gets near the goal, I can make the ball go wide of target or if my players begin to get tired I can make them full of life again," he said. Abubakr said he wanted to turn his powers to the international field. "if I have no luck with Sir Alf, I shall try to sign up with a club in Germany." Many East African soccer clubs use the services of witch doctors but the Kenyan Football Association recently began a campaign to expel them from the coaches benches. "Although it is difficult to legislate against the practice," said the association secretary, Ian Situma, "We are alive to the problem and intend to take every step to stamp it out. "Players should be encouraged to train hard if they want to succeed instead of relying on witchcraft--which does not help at all." Most club officials and witch doctors themselves do not agree on that statement. Major teams for years have purchased the talents of medicine men to cast spells on their opponents. Recently, however, one match had to be abandoned because the 22 players became involved in a brawl over a witch doctor. Several players were disciplined and the football association of Kenya began a campaign to discourage the use of witch doctors. Witch doctors such as Sharriff Omar Abubakr often become wealthy as a result of their work in soccer and some find their services are much sought after.

Allen Hynek, chairman of the astronomy department at Northwestern University, and James Harder of the Aero-Phenomenon Research Organization and the University of California spent several hours interviewing Charles Hickson, 42, and Calvin Parker, 18, Saturday night. The two Mississippi men told the Jackson county sheriff's department they were fishing off an old pier on the Pascagoula river Thursday night when they saw a strange object approaching in the sky, emitting a bluish haze. The men, reportedly "scared to death and shaking all over," told officers they were taken inside the craft by three creatures with big eyes, crab-like hands, wrinkled skin and pointed ears. Harder said the men's experience as reflected during hypnosis was "traumatic", adding "their emotions and very strong feelings of terror are impossible to fake under hypnosis." Hynek who was scientific consultant to Project Bluebook a study concluded by the U.S. Air Force on UFOs in 1969 said: "There is no question in my mind that these men have had a very terrifying experience. Under no circumstances should they be ridiculed. Let's protect these men." Harder said the phenomenon has happened all over the world and seems to follow a definite pattern. "A UFO tale is an incredible tale told by credible persons" Harder said. Although the men were able to be hypnotized Hynek said "their experience was so traumatic that it was essential to progress slowly." Sheriff Fred Diamond said he believed "something" happened to the men because they were "scared to death and on the verge of a heart attack." *Associated Press* 9/5/73 # More UFOs **Sandersville, Ga.** Two more unidentified flying objects appeared over South Georgia last night to keep the week-long mystery going. Witnesses first reported a very small object in the southwest, its color changing from red to green to blue and then to gold, moving within a small area. Later, a second object, larger and multi-colored, was reported in the northwest. It eventually turned white and dwindled in size. Both objects were visible at the same time, witnesses reported. *United Press* San Francisco Chronicle San Francisco Chronicle ★★★ Mon., Sept. 10, 1973 # New Reports Of UFOs Over Dixie **Savannah, Ga.** Authorities checked out more reported sightings of unidentified flying objects in the southeast yesterday, but quickly dispelled a fear that something from another world had fallen in a Georgia field. The Georgia State Patrol said a glowing green cylinder found near Manchester Saturday night, shortly after several persons said they saw UFOs buzzing the area, turned out to be only a commonly used automobile trouble flare. But reports continued to pour in, from police and civilians. Two military policemen said something dived at their car near Hunter Army Air Base south of Savannah and forced them off the road. A State Patrol trooper based in Manchester said a UFO whisked past his car, going so fast there was "no way" he could get a close look. Police in five east central Alabama cities reported sightings early yesterday. *United Press* # The Space Signals Soviets Picked Up **Moscow** Soviet scientists have picked up radio signals that could come from a technically advanced civilization, Tass reported yesterday. The agency said the signals, which had never been heard before, came at regular intervals for a few minutes and were repeated several times a day. They were picked up in four widely separated parts of the Soviet Union and it was clear they were not due to local disturbances, it said. Professor Samuel Kaplan of Gorki University, where the signals were first detected, said, however, that it was too soon to be sure whether they were natural or artificial. "It is possible," he said, "that they come from the upper layers of the atmosphere, but it is not excluded that they are sent by a technically very advanced extraterrestrial civilization. For the moment, one thing is sure -- the signals do not come from satellites launched from the earth." *Agence France-Presse* San Francisco Chronicle ★★★★ Wed.

Prescott ## The Quasi-Legendary And Smelly Creatures May Be Tromping Around In Big Cypress Swamp ST. PETERSBURG (AP) -- An expedition will penetrate Big Cypress Swamp within the next few weeks and attempt to prove that Florida is home for an 8-foot ape with a terrible case of body odor, says the head of the Yeti Research Society. "We formed the society last December. We want to settle down once and for all and try to find one of the things," says Gordon R. Prescott. Going under its Florida name of Skunk Ape, the quasi-legendary creature came to light a couple of years ago when a group of amateur archaeologists from Miami said they saw a huge, apelike creature while digging on an Indian mound in the tangled wilderness about 100 miles west of Miami. Within a few weeks, Skunk Apes were being spotted from Naples to Fort Lauderdale, and some people even reported they had got close enough to baby Skunk Apes to feed them. The reports gained some credence when policemen and other trusted observers said that while they weren't exactly sure what they saw, something big and smelly was tromping around the Everglades. Going under the aliases of Yeti, Sasquatch and MoMo, the creatures have been reported for many years in the Pacific Northwest. The Florida version has the added dubious attraction of being terribly smelly. During its earlier heyday, while posses of armed men were running around the woods, many people said they never actually saw the things, but their noses said some had been around. Prescott said the newest expedition, which he hopes will get underway in about three weeks, will include two anthropologists who "don't want their names known yet, for obvious reasons. They're in scholastic circles, and you can get an awful lot of ridicule by just suggesting it's possible the things might exist." Prescott says the expedition will try to photograph the creatures, and if the opportunity presents itself, immobilizing some with a tranquilizer gun. "We're not saying exactly where they are, because we don't want the place overrun by curiosity seekers," he said. "We think there are five of them in two family groups near where we were." Prescott says he thought he saw a Skunk Ape once, a short glimpse through some trees at a distance of 100 yards. But he said it fit the classic description of height -- about 8 feet -- and weight -- 600 to 1,000 pounds. "But we heard and smelled them regularly while we were working out there," he says. "Apparently, they'll eat anything that's left around, including people's lunches. We had that happen many times. They'd sneak up, grab a lunch bag and run." He said they also like salt and sometimes would steal a saltshaker and return it empty the next night, as if begging for more. Fort Myers (Fla.)

Police and sheriff's deputies in Madison, Jefferson and Highland counties said they were investigating a rash of telephone calls involving an amber light that no only hovered over several areas, but reportedly landed, broke fences and killed a cow.

(AP) - An engineer who helped develop the Skylab, space shuttle and Saturn 5 rocket says he believes beings from outer space landed on earth 2,600 years ago using equipment more advanced than anything man can have within the next 20 years. During 18 months of working in his spare time, Josef F. Blumrich said he applied space technology to the Old Testament text of Ezekiel and came up with engineering drawings of what a craft described by the Hebrew prophet looked like and how it moved about. "It all started in the fall of 1970 when I got a German version of Erich Von Daniken's 'Chariot of the Gods?' and was convinced it was the same old nonsense," he said. "When I came to the passages about Ezekiel I put Von Daniken's book away and took one of my Bibles. I told my wife, 'I will show you where he is wrong!'" But, to his surprise, Blumrich - chief of the Systems Layout Branch of the Marshall Space Flight Center - saw things that made sense to him: "In chapter one, Ezekiel speaks at length about the structure. It just so happens that I have myself designed such things here." From a modern English translation of the Bible, here is part of the passage to which he refers: "One day late in June when I was 30 ... the heavens were suddenly opened to me.... I saw in this vision, a great storm coming toward me from the north, driving before it a huge cloud glowing with fire, with a mass of fire inside that flashed continually; and in the fire there was something that shone like polished brass. "'Then, from the center of the cloud, four strange forms appeared that looked like men except that each had four faces and two pairs of wings.... And beneath their wings I could see human hands." # Fans see UFO BATON ROUGE, La.

"They would be behind the trees and come up and fly away...as if you startled it or something," said Montgomery County sheriff's deputy Michael Sullivan. "No balloon, helicopter or kite can move that fast or has that many lights attached or can go so quickly in a straight up direction." Sullivan said the first sighting was reported at about 8 p.m. Wednesday, the latest in a host of claimed UFO spottings in several parts of the country. === Page 6 of 14 9/4/73 Georgia residents reported an unprecedented number of unidentified flying objects the past four nights. Page 3. # A Flurry of Blinking UFOs **Atlanta** Despite an unprecedented flurry of unidentified flying object reports by Georgia residents, military and civilian authorities indicated yesterday that they plan no investigation of the sightings. Police officers, newsmen, surprised citizens and one military policeman turned in reports of the UFOs the past four nights. The sightings were made in several central and south Georgia towns, with most of the descriptions being similar -- blinking, varicolored lights, usually hovering in one position but occasionally showing great bursts of speed. Chester A. Tatum, publisher of the Sowega Free Press in Camilla, said he photographed one of the UFOs Saturday night. He said it had a "ribbed type design with some sort of center down the middle." But military spokesmen at Georgia's two main air force installations, Dobbins Air Force Base in Marietta and Warner-Robins Air Force Base, said there would be no investigation of the sighting reports. "Most of the calls we've received have been from the press," said Lieutenant Colonel Richard Davies, an information officer at Warner-Robins. "There have been two reports from police and one from a military policeman here, but none from any private citizens. "These are the first reports of any UFOs I've seen in a number of years. The Air Force used to have a program to check up on this type of thing but they dropped it. I seriously doubt there will be any investigation." Georgia civil defense public information director Colonel Douglas Embry said all the UFO reports have been logged "but we don't do anything with them or publicize them. They seem to have gotten enough publicity already." Embry said if there were no "logical explanation" for the sightings, and if there was a "danger to life and property," then the civil defense office would ask the governor to take any necessary steps to investigate the sightings.

H. Webb of Midland announced to her husband, "Sugar, about 10 o'clock I'm going to go out and look for flying objects." UFO (unidentified flying object) sightings were reported Saturday in the Manchester area and Sunday in the Columbus area. Webb laughed but agreed to look too. They apparently were successful. "He started yelling to me like he saw a bugger man," Mrs. Webb reported. A UFO had appeared from a northwesterly direction. It disappeared behind a cloud, but in a minute or two another one appeared, said Mrs. Webb. "In a couple of minutes, here came another one out of the same direction following in the same path just like they were going somewhere," she recalled. Although the three unidentified objects were flying at a high altitude, Mrs. Webb said they apparently were circular in shape and had three prongs and something resembling a tail. The objects were a brightly lit yellow which changed to green. The fourth object to appear came from a more northerly direction and was only about 100 or 200 feet off the ground. It and the fifth object were somewhat obscured by trees, she reported. "It didn't take 'em but a minute or two to get out of sight. They weren't fooling around. They were like a homing pigeon going home," she attempted to describe the event. The Webbs are not among that group with a long-held belief in the existence of UFOs. "Maybe Russia's got something over here flying around. We've got things over there, so they say. If it is (a Russian-built surveillance craft), they're getting mighty brave flying so low," she speculated. Or, an alternative explanation from Webb is that the United States could be responsible for the objects and be testing them in the area. Whatever, the Webbs are not afraid. "I just wish I knew what they were. They're really something to see," Mrs. Webb commented. She'll be on the lookout again tonight, this time equipped with a pair of binoculars. Our UFO moving on? # 'Fireball' sweeps over Texas CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex. (UPI) --A big ball of fire streaked 225 miles across the Texas sky late Wednesday night, prompting hundreds of calls to law agencies from Kerrville to Corpus Christi. "I've never seen anything like it," Sgt. David Brown of Brooks Air Force Base said. "It seemed to be yellow on the outside and seemed to be red on the inside. "Four of us saw it. There seemed to be something trailing behind it." Roy Butler, a sheriff's department dispatcher at George West, said he saw the object as he took a break outside his office. "One of our units had been watching it, and a game warden was watching it through binoculars," Butler said. "It went out of sight southeast of us and 30 seconds later we heard a little explosion. "It started breaking up after it got south of us. Parts of it went out, and before it hit the ground it was completely out. "I thought it was a burning airplane, but our unit and the game warden said it looked like a meteor. I don't know what is is," Butler said. "A lady called up and claimed Skylab was coming down." Sgt. Harry Brelsford of the sheriff's department at Corpus Christi said callers told him the object went down near that city. === Page 8 of 14 Ted The latest thing I heard before I mailed you all this is that UFOs were all over the bay area here last night.

Deputy Michael Moore said the ships almost attacked a police car. "One of our deputies was scared pretty bad," Moore said from the Washington Parish sheriff's department. "He turned on his red lights, and they came down at his patrol car. He turned them off and they just vanished like in a cloud." Moore said the ships, reported 150 miles northwest of similar sitings at Pascagoula, Miss., "come right down at you and then vanish above the treetops." Moore said several deputies were out chasing the ships and one of the men tried to take pictures. "Our deputies spotted five of them, and a bunch of witnesses saw them too," he said. __________ === Page 9 of 14 28 The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Thursday, September 27, 1973 # 'UFOs' Air Times Vary --Description Still Fits Shortly after dark Sunday night, two black and green craft darted across the Memphis sky, swooped down over Millington and landed. About an hour later, two Shelby County sheriff's deputies reported an unidentified flying object--better known as a UFO--hovering over the Tennessee Highway Patrol office at 6348 Highway 70. Yesterday, a spokesman for Memphis Naval Air Station at Millington said two aircraft, fitting the same general size and flying capability were sitting at the NAS landing field as the Memphis Police Department, highway patrol and sheriff's department searched for the UFO. The NAS spokesman said two Harrier AV8 jets capable of taking off straight up and hovering like a helicopter, or flying with the speed of a normal jet, landed at the Navy base at 7:58 p.m. Sunday. The spokesman said it was unlikely the two aircraft, which are based at Beaufort Marine Base in South Carolina, were mistaken for UFOs, because they both made conventional landings at the NAS field an hour before the reported sightings and remained on the ground until 8 a.m. Monday. "I have checked thoroughly and those planes were not even moved on the ground after they landed, until they left," the NAS spokesman said. The UFO description given by sheriff's deputies T. L. Pilalas and J. O. Davis was of a "round, glowing and bluish" object about 50 feet in width which hovered about 50 feet above the ground. The officers said that when they turned on their spotlight, the craft turned its spotlight off. The craft then took off "straight up," they said. At 10:27 the sheriff's radio dispatcher said the UFO was seen moving "backward and forward" over the Frayser area. But no trace of the UFO was found and no explanation given. The Harrier jets which visited NAS that evening are about the same size--45½ feet long--as the object described and have the flight capabilities of the UFO sighted by the two officers and other witnesses. The Harrier jet is made in Great Britain and was purchased by the Marines for use in close air support because of its great versatility and firepower. According to "Military Aircraft of the World" it has a top speed of 737 miles an hour and a flying radius of about 500 miles. The plane can reportedly accelerate from a hovering position to a speed of about 600 miles an hour within seconds. There are no Harrier jets stationed at Millington and visits by the craft--added to the Marine's inventory of weapons during the last two years--are rare, the NAS spokesman said. === Page 10 of 14 PALO ALTO TIMES, PALO ALTO, CALIF., MONDAY, SEPT. 10, 1973-35 # Rash of UFO sightings reported in Southeast GRIFFIN, Ga. (UPI) -- New reports of strange, hovering objects with brightly-colored lights were received Sunday night by local authorities as part of a rash of recent sightings of unidentified flying objects in the Southeast. For nearly two weeks, reports of UFOs have flooded authorities in central and south Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Florida. The reports have come from civilians, military policemen, local law enforcement officers and state troopers. Sunday night, a Spalding County deputy answered a call reporting an object hovering over a house. The deputy radioed his office that he saw "two red lights descending slowly to earth," and then the lights disappeared. Mrs. Hugh D. Beall told local police an "upside down cup and saucer-shaped object" hovered over her house. She said the object had gold, red and green lights on the bottom. Mrs. Beall said the object, which she said made a "funny" noise, was too low for an airplane and was just above tree-top level. She said the lights changed colors. There were at least two other reports in Griffin and other sightings in Newnan, Ga., 30 miles to the west. In other weekend sightings, two military policemen at Hunter Army Airfield near Savannah reported something dived at their car as they were on routine patrol and then pursued them as they raced back to headquarters. Bart J. Burns and Randy Shade said the object, traveling at a high rate of speed with "quick flashing lights," was initially spotted at about 2,000 feet but then it dived at them. They said it hovered near the car and pursued them as they raced back to the base. A Georgia highway patrolman in Manchester said he saw a UFO hovering at tree-top level Saturday night. "It went over the unit (patrol car), and was going so fast there was no way he could even get close enough to identify it," said a patrol spokesman. San Jose Mercury Monday, Sept. 10, 1973 # Flurry of UFOs Reported in South United Press International Authorities Sunday checked out more reported sightings of unidentified flying objects in the Southeast, but quickly dispelled fear that something from another world had fallen in a Georgia field.

But reports continued to pour in, from police and civilians. Two military policemen said something dived at their car near Hunter Army Air Base south of Savannah and forced them off the road. A state patrol trooper based in Manchester said a UFO whisked past his car, going so fast there was "no way" he could get a close look. A cameraman for WAGA-TV in Atlanta recorded 90 seconds of film of a UFO near Manchester early Sunday. It showed a hovering, glowing light, changing colors rapidly. Police in five East Central Alabama cities reported sightings early Sunday. Officer Keith Broach of Auburn, Ala., said he saw something the size of an airplane, which appeared red and white, changed to green and then to white before flying away. A policeman at Lanett, Ala., said he saw an object about the size of a car, coming to within 150 feet of the ground. There also were sightings reported by police in Carrville, Notasulga and Tuskegee, Ala. Military Policeman Bert Burns and Randy Shade said in Savannah that an airborne object dived toward their car as they were making a routine patrol near Hunter Air Base. They said it hovered near the car and pursued them as they raced to headquarters. 6 San Francisco Chronicle ★★ Tues., Sept. 11, 1973 ********** # UFO Drops Golden Egg **Griffin, Ga.** The reports of UFO sightings that have unsettled Georgia for weeks took a sudden twist yesterday when a witness reported that a golden egg fell from the sky in a cloud of smoke, searing the earth where it struck. "I tell you, I believe it to be a piece of brimstone from heaven come down here to show people how He can burn the earth with it," announced Ress Clanton, who said he saw the object fall. Clanton said he was in Orchard Hill, about five miles south of here, late yesterday afternoon when he looked up and saw a golden object about the size of a hen egg spinning to the earth. It apparently destroyed itself upon impact, leaving a hole a foot long and about 5 inches deep. Researchers from an agricultural experiment station nearby took earth samples but found nothing out of the ordinary -- except that after the incident the temperature of the hole was 300 degrees. Clanton said the object did not appear to be in free fall, but descended at a controlled rate. He said he saw no aircraft in the area. For nearly two weeks reports of UFOs have been rampant in central and southern Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Florida. Most of the reports tell of strange, hovering objects with brightly colored lights. There were four such reports in the Griffin area Sunday night and others in Newnan, Ga., 30 miles to the west. United Press === Page 11 of 14 Sept 25, 1973 RADAR DEMO. (1) Firemen extinguish Saratoga blaze NORFOLK, Va. - A major fire broke out aboard the aircraft carrier Saratoga and firemen battled the blaze for nine hours before putting it out. A Navy spokesman said smoke and extreme heat hampered firemen from the Saratoga, the Norfolk Naval Shipyard and civilian agencies after the fire broke out Saturday night. The flames were confined to the ship's third deck just below the flight deck. No injuries were reported. By CLIFFORD HUBBARD Virginian-Pilot Staff Writer YORKTOWN - The Norfolk Naval Supply Center's Cheatham Annex fuel pier through which the state is attempting to stockpile fuel oil for this winter was badly damaged by a spectacular fire Monday morning. (2) # The Virginian-Pilot Tuesday, October 2, 1973 Section B Radar demo. "Once that thing got started, it looked like it was soaked in gasoline. That creosote really burned," said Ray Cavenaugh of Cavenaugh Corp. of Richmond, supervisor of the pier for the state. No oil was involved. The flames were fed by the bone-dry, creosoted timbers of the pier, which extends 2,600 feet into the York River. Most of the damage was to the "T" at the end. There was no one on the pier when the fire broke out about 10:40 a.m. Cavenaugh said he and a helper, however, had been on the pier immediately before and had turned on lights in a shed on the pierhead and hooked a charger to the battery in a cherry-picker crane. Cavenaugh and his helper were at the tank farm when the alarm went off. They arrived at the pier at the same time the Cheatham Annex Fire Department did, Cavenaugh said. "I'd of given a $1,000 for 20 gallons of water right then," he added. The firemen arrived in a pickup truck, which they drove out onto the pier. The fire, however, was between them and firefighting equipment on the end of the pier. "All they had was an axe and a crowbar," Cavenaugh said. The firemen had to back the pickup the whole length of the pier and then drive a mile to secure hoses before returning to the head of the pier, he added. "It was going right good when they got back," Cavenaugh said. "There were only five of us and two hoses, however, until Williamsburg got here," he added. Shortly after that two Navy tugs and, eventually, eight Coast Guard 31-foot patrol boats from the Yorktown Coast Guard Station joined in the fight. The fire was under control by 12:30 but only after destroying the 900 foot northern end of the "T." The state has used the southern end to bring in 6.5 million gallons of kerosene and 870,000 gallons of number two fuel oil, SCIENTISTS.......... You will recall that after my radar demonstration...among other things the aircraft Forrestal had a major fire here at Norfolk. I tried to explain to the authorities that my other-dimensional "attack" had caused it, quite by accident (they blamed it on a sailor)...but they would not listen. Now here is yet another major aircraft carrier fire here at Norfolk...different carrier...and I wonder what poor slob they will blame this one on? Of course, the power from the radar demonstration is still alive and kicking in the Chesapeake Bay area. And another big fire...aimed likewise at the military...is listed here in the second newsclip. You might add these to your "radar demonstration" file. There will be more to add, later...undoubtedly...so keep the file open and active. Owens PK Man 10/1/73 === Page 12 of 14 28 The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Thursday, September 27, 1973 # 'UFOs' Air Times Vary --Description Still Fits Shortly after dark Sunday night, two black and green craft darted across the Memphis sky, swooped down over Millington and landed. About an hour later, two Shelby County sheriff's deputies reported an unidentified flying object--better known as a UFO--hovering over the Tennessee Highway Patrol office at 6348 Highway 70. Yesterday, a spokesman for Memphis Naval Air Station at Millington said two aircraft, fitting the same general size and flying capability were sitting at the NAS landing field as the Memphis Police Department, highway patrol and sheriff's department searched for the UFO. The NAS spokesman said two Harrier AV8 jets capable of taking off straight up and hovering like a helicopter, or flying with the speed of a normal jet, landed at the Navy base at 7:58 p.m. Sunday. The spokesman said it was unlikely the two aircraft, which are based at Beaufort Marine Base in South Carolina, were mistaken for UFOs, because they both made conventional landings at the NAS field an hour before the reported sightings and remained on the ground until 8 a.m. Monday. "I have checked thoroughly and those planes were not even moved on the ground after they landed, until they left," the NAS spokesman said. The UFO description given by sheriff's deputies T. L. Pilalas and J. O. Davis was of a "round, glowing and bluish" object about 50 feet in width which hovered about 50 feet above the ground. The officers said that when they turned on their spotlight, the craft turned its spotlight off. The craft then took off "straight up," they said. At 10:27 the sheriff's radio dispatcher said the UFO was seen moving "backward and forward" over the Frayser area. But no trace of the UFO was found and no explanation given. The Harrier jets which visited NAS that evening are about the same size--45½ feet long--as the object described and have the flight capabilities of the UFO sighted by the two officers and other witnesses. The Harrier jet is made in Great Britain and was purchased by the Marines for use in close air support because of its great versatility and firepower. According to "Military Aircraft of the World" it has a top speed of 737 miles an hour and a flying radius of about 500 miles. The plane can reportedly accelerate from a hovering position to a speed of about 600 miles an hour within seconds. There are no Harrier jets stationed at Millington and visits by the craft--added to the Marine's inventory of weapons during the last two years--are rare, the NAS spokesman said. === Page 13 of 14 cont. (9/16) -From Page 1 the robots did not fit the usual description of creatures which emerge from UFOs, other similar robots have also been sighted. "There have been so many sightings," he said, "and each is slightly different. It's like going to the freeway and watching different models of cars and trucks." Last year alone, there were 1042 sightings, some involving incredible tales. "There have been other stories just as bizarre as this one," says Harder. Harder was asked to fly to Mississippi by the Aerial Phenomenon Research Organization of Tucson, Ariz., where he is one of 60 scientists who study extraterrestrial phenomena. He has been an APRO consultant for 10 years. "They (Hickson and Parker) were telling the truth beyond a reasonable doubt," Harder concluded yesterday. "If this were evidence in a murder case, there is no doubt the culprit would be convicted." Harder was convinced that the men were telling the truth because of their reactions while under hypnosis. "Their emotional reaction came out," he said, "their terror and fear." If they had been lying, Harder continued, such emotions could never have been produced. Hickson was hypnotized for only 15 minutes, when by a pre-arranged signal, he asked to be awakened. "He got so scared, he couldn't go any farther," Harder said. Parker was hypnotized for about a half hour, but could not remember being inside the spacecraft. He had lost all sensation the minute the robot touched him, he claimed. From the interviews, however, Harder said the scientists learned a little more about levitation - it can be imparted to humans by contact, he feels. They also learned that the UFO pilots know something about gravity. "Apparently our extraterrestrial friends know as much about gravitational fields as we do about electrical fields," said Harder. "There was some gravity in the propulsion of the spacecraft." How to convince the skeptics? Harder notes that hundreds of UFO's have been sighted over the years. "There is a multiplicity of witnesses," he says, adding, "cases have been picked up on radar, and by airborne and ground observers." === Page 14 of 14 MENSA® Reply to: 340 Brighton Road Norristown, Pennsylvania 19403 A NON-PROFIT EDUCATIONAL CORPORATION CHARTERED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, 50 EAST 42ND STREET, NEW YORK, N.Y. 1001 September 14, 1973 Mr. Ted Owens Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 Dear Ted: I would be happy to receive from you your advance predictions of the weekend football games and keep a record of the percentages of successes and losses.

At 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, Pete Werbel of Truckee may have seen the most astounding unidentified flying object ever witnessed over Tahoe skies. Werbel admits to having scanned the skies unsuccessfully many times in hopes of sighting an UFO. But Tuesday night, standing on Bridge St., he glanced up to see an orange ball of fire tagged with a bluish orange tail. "It lay very slow on the horizon and probably was a couple hundred miles away, but "I could see it more distinctly than any other stars because of its size." In the moments it took to call a friend, it disintegrated in what appeared to be an explosion. The tail evaporated, the orange ball splintered into little clusters. Then it disappeared. The object appeared to be about the size of an Apollo rocket, said Werbel, and it gave the impression of being some such object. Werbel saw the object in the western sky. It was moving south to north he said, and could have been a meteor, or more likely, a rocket reentering the atmosphere. "I was coming home from North Shore with my husband Sunday night," said a South Tahoe resident who preferred to remain anonymous, "and suddenly this bright green thing flashed across the sky. "It looked like a big football," she continued, "and it just flew straight and suddenly landed somewhere south of us. I wasn't going to say anything about it, but when I read in the Tribune that people had seen something similar in San Francisco, I thought I had better call you." And in Zephyr Cove, a sheriff's spokesman said the sub-station received a call last night "from a man who claimed he saw a flying object on Spooner Summit which had fire coming out of it." The caller was advised to contact the South Tahoe Airport but apparently decided against it as the airport received no calls. A nation-wide survey by United Press International Thursday morning reported a wave of UFO sightings from coast-to-coast Wednesday. But a scientist, Arthur Pursell, president of the Tulare Astronomical Association, said an exploding meteor was responsible for the sightings on Northern California. Meantime, law enforcement offices in the Truckee-North Tahoe area had several calls from citizens between about 10 and 10:30 p.m. Thursday. Callers reported something that appeared to be a burning plane down in the Squaw Peak or Alpine Meadows areas. An officer of the Placer County sheriff's substation went into the Alpine Meadows area with a citizen informant without finding anything, a spokesman at the substation reported. A private plane from Truckee-Tahoe Airport flew Tuesday night over the Alpine Meadows Granite Chief, Desolation Valley and Donner Lake areas without seeing a reported object. And while one psychiatrist has called most of the sightings "fantasy," Dr. J. Allen Hynek, chairman of Northwestern's astronomy department, has called for a government agency to investigate UFO reports which "could set the stage for a panic situation" if they continue to multiply. "At least somebody should keep track of what is going on here--make a record of the reports and plot them on a map," Hynek said. "I wouldn't mind being sort of a Ralph Nader for UFOs for a while."

Dear Dr. Max...just called your home and left message with Joy to pass on to you when you get home this evening. In August...I communicated with "Control"...the top UFO intelligence that I have worked with and for, for some time...and asked that SI UFO's "turn themselves on" all over the U.S. so that humans could see them; also to demonstrate phenomena. Since then they have done this. But of course...I cannot document that. It is, however, rock-ribbed proof...that I am indeed a link between the UFO's and the human race. Now what I propose to do is this. Am going to communicate again with Control...and ask it to "turn on" the UFO's in this entire Virginia area, so that all the people can see them; and to demonstrate phenomena here. Am talking about Eastern Virginia; the Tidewater area; the Chesapeake Bay area; the Eastern Shore Peninsula on which I live, etc. This demonstration will be to prove conclusively to the scientists studying my work...that my brain has been modified by these creatures in the past; that I am in telepathic communication with them; and that my unique situation is quite real indeed. Also that I am the most powerful human in the world...since I have the incredible other-dimensional powers of the UFO's to draw upon. All right...when UFO's begin to appear here, will take out the newsclips and make up a Contact Letter to get out to you, later. Now it is on record...and this exciting experiment-demonstration begins! Ted Owens (PK Man)(The UFO Prophet) Box 48, Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 Oct. 24, 1973...Wednesday Dr. Max Fogel, Mensa Dear Dr. Max... Yesterday I set up an experiment-demonstration...of my intent to produce UFO's in the skies and all around, here in the Chesapeake Bay area (100 mile radius, with "bullseye" of target this Eastern Shore Peninsula.) But after some thought.. am going to improve upon, and enlarge, the scope of the demonstration! My contention is that the Big Foot, Moth Man, Loch Ness Monster...are SI creatures from another dimension...can pass between dimensions. So what I am going to do is...call them ALL here to the Chesapeake Bay area! In effect, this target area will be the scene for sightings of a Loch Ness Monster in the Bay...sightings of the Big Foot (Sasquatch)...sightings of the Moth Man -- as well as the flying saucers, cigar-craft, UFO lights, etc. It is my intent...to make this area the most UFO and monster-haunted area in the entire world! To do this am reaching out telepathically to bring them all here...TO STAY HERE. It will be "Halloween" all the time in this area...with spooks and goblins and UFO's galore! Gosh, it will be fascinating to see if I can pull off this "miracle"! Have no way of knowing the timing on this. Hours? Days? Weeks? Months? Since their "time" is different than ours...and they have time-windows, too, when they cannot get through...makes it tough. Am talking about appearance, now. Once here will "fix" them to stay in the area, just as the Loch Ness Monster has stayed there for ages. Beau, my boy, wants me to include the tiny 3-foot high critters...humanoid type...so will work at that also. Best.....

These UFO's you read about herein...are my Si's (spatial intelligences) that I have worked for, and with...for about ten years. They have helped me perform my many miracles...solid proof that they've been with me. Now, here in Cape Charles...my family and I have seen two UFO's in the past several months. I saw one as big as a house down at the waterfront, up over the water. The other one my wife saw, and called me...it was BETWEEN OUR HOUSE AND THE NEXT HOUSE...next to her bedroom! Be that as it may, yesterday George Teixeira, a friend of mine in Frisco, called me LD, and asked what this tremendous UFO activity meant. I told him this: my miracles, and connection with the Si's..has been covered up this past year. How much have you read about Owens, the "UFO Prophet"? Not much. Why? I've done some of the most powerful miracles this past year than ever! So, the Si's are displeased, to put it mildly. Remember, I am the ONLY human being who can communicate with these UFO's...and PROVE it...with miracles! They are showing themselves...to get me out before the public eye again...and dramatize their stark real-ness. They do not want my miracles (backed up by their incredible powers) covered up by govt. agencies so that the PEOPLE will not know. They want the people of this country to know that they are QUITE REAL...also what they can do. I predict...that if they do not get what they wish...some first class "disaster areas" may occur in this country. Something the Si's do not, repeat not, want to bring about. Owens (PK MAN) === Page 4 of 30 FROM THE DESK OF Mr. Ted Owens (PK MAN) .......... Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 Oct. 19, 1973 Scientists...today I checked my notes...and discovered that I had communicated with "Control"...the highest intelligence of my UFO friends...in August...and requested that the UFO's (SI's) show themselves and their crafts...in time to come. Motivation? I had been stung by several articles, and personal letters... stating that the UFO thing was a dead issue...and no one was interested in it any more. This, of course, is not in any way...proper documentation. But I can assure you...with all earnestness...that I did the above. And since that time...all hell has broken loose...with UFO's appearing everywhere. To me, obviously, Control is very real...and can produce.

Huff said Marion Owen, the Chase City police radio dispatcher, first sighted the object after noticing an unusual light reflection on the window of the police station. Owen radioed Huff, who drove to the west side of town and parked on a railroad bridge, almost under the object, Huff said. Huff said the soundless object, fairly large, with a color that resembled a very bright star, hovered motionless over the town for about five minutes then moved rapidly to the north, reversed direction and returned to a position over his head. It stayed motionless for another five minutes before heading rapidly in a westerly direction, he added. UFOs are probably taken a little more matter-of-factly in this area since two well-publicized and still unexplained sightings occurred in 1967 in nearby South Hill and Lunenburg County. In the South Hill incident, a warehouseman said, in April 1967 that he rounded a curve and encountered an object 12 feet in diameter, standing on three legs, that resembled an aluminum storage tank. The object suddenly left the ground in a burst of brilliant light, he reported. The blacktop street caught fire, and when police arrived on the scene the tar was still hot and smoking. Two months later, a rural Lunenburg County storekeeper said she was startled one night by a thundering roar. She looked out her bedroom window and saw a bright light which she described as so bright "you could see every leaf on the tree." That object also allegedly left burn marks in the highway. Friday, Oct. 26, 1973.......... Dr. Max Fogel, Mensa, Philadelphia Dear Dr. Max: I am tickled pink...to be able to send you this electrifying documentation! First, because the UFO's (SI's) that I contacted telepathically with my special UFO brain...answered almost immediately...very next day, in fact...by appearing in the area I specified in my letter to you earlier plus showed themselves to the police, just as I specified...matter of fact, this UFO made SURE the message got over...by leaving the policeman and then RETURNING! (See newsclip.) Second, am tickled...because this couldn't happen to a nicer scientist than Dr. Max Fogel. As you well know, just a handful of the scientific community have guts enough to let it be known that they are in contact with PK Man..and only you...have guts enough to give me signed confirmations whenever I bring about a "miracle". (Dr. Hynek should dam well have sent me a signed, notarized confirm when I stopped that volcano in Sicily, but nope, he didn't.) So to me...you are "King of the Scientists"! Now, if any scientists that you know want to scoff at me, or your connection with me...simply show them the letters I sent to you last Tuesday and Wednesday...then show them this newsclipping! The SI's LIKE this idea...this experiment-demonstration I have set up...and they have lost no time in acting on it! I had thought perhaps they'd take weeks to show up, but they did it the very next day! So, it has begun! So, to briefly recap...I wrote to you last Tuesday and again Wednesday...telling you that I would communicate with my UFO's (that I have worked with and for for 10 years) and ask them to appear within a 100 mile radius of where I live, the Eastern Shore...using this Cape Charles as the "bullseye". Furthermore, I told you I would ask them to show themselves to the police and other responsible persons. Furthermore, I told you I would also telepathically contact the "UFO Monsters" of various kinds...and bring them, also, to this area. Furthermore, in time to come, I told you, I'd make this 100 mile area the "UFO capitol of the world" in essence. All right.

Your letter helped me so much (another one) and here's another! Another 'Stranger' Haunts Pascagoula PASCAGOULA, MISS. (Nov. 7) (UPI) - Another Pascagoula fisherman has reported seeing a strange object while fishing at night on the Pascagoula River - but this time the thing was not flying, it was submerged in the murky waters. And the U.S. Coast Guard has confirmed the sighting. Raymond Ryan, 42, said he spotted an underwater light following his boat Tuesday night and that repeated efforts to beat the thing away with an oar only made the light get dimmer. At first, he said, he decided not to tell anyone about the sighting. Much publicity has surrounded the reported sighting several weeks ago of a unidentified flying object in the same vicinity by two other Pascagoula fishermen who claim they were taken aboard the craft. But Ryan said he finally summoned his twin brother, Rayme Ryan, and the two of them went back to the brackish waters and poked at the light with oars again. The Coast Guard station in New Orleans reported Wednesday that the Ryan brothers went to Coast Guard officials in Pascagoula. "At 9:40 p.m. the Coast Guard at Pascagoula dispatched a 16-foot boat to investigate the object," a spokesman said. "The object was located in four to six feet of water, moving at 4 to 6 knots," the Coast Guard report said. The officers named the object "an unidentified submerged illuminating object," and described it as "an amber beam, 4 to 6 inches in diameter, attached to a bright metal object." Coast Guardsmen said they tried to retrieve the USIO, but "it would appear to go out and move away and then reappear." The report said the USIO traveled on several different courses during the hour they had it under surveillance. The spokesman said the Ryan brothers were "sober and concerned" when they reported the light. The Coast Guard in New Orleans said it would forward the USIO report to headquarters in Washington. M.

Owens (PK Man) === Page 12 of 30 "Some kind of alien life -- a spaceship" . . . "An oblong object with a gentle white glow" . . . "No regular type of flying machine." That's how amazed policemen described the mysterious wave of UFOs they saw streaking across the nighttime heavens over Alabama and Georgia on September 8-9. The rash of police sightings were made mostly in the early-morning hours when most people would be in bed. But only the weekend before, hundreds of Georgia and Alabama residents had deluged authorities with reports of similar UFO sightings. The ENQUIRER found 11 local and state policemen who had witnessed the extraordinary display. Jack Barker, an official of the Federal Aviation Agency's Air Traffic Division, said none of the UFOs showed up on the FAA's radar network covering the two states. "We know about the number of reliable sources who reported the sightings but we can't shed any light on what they saw," Barker said. Most of the policemen agreed on a general description -- a fast-moving, noiseless, basketball-sized object, brightly lit with red, green, orange or white lights, blinking or revolving. Georgia State Trooper Sam Taylor said: "It was oblong but not quite thin enough to make it cigar-shaped. It seemed solid and gave off a gentle white glow." Taylor, a Vietnam flying veteran, made the sighting in Manchester, Ga. He said he was "absolutely mystified," adding: "What I saw was certainly no airplane, helicopter or natural phenomenon." When he went to headquarters afterward, Taylor said, "The phone started ringing with other people in the neighborhood reporting they'd seen a UFO overhead. Then I really knew I hadn't been seeing things." Patrolman Billy Clayton of Carrville, Ala., said: "I've no doubt it was some kind of alien life -- a spaceship. I asked Jim (auxiliary policeman James Smith, his partner on patrol) if he thought it was the Martians. Jim just laughed. He said he wasn't going to talk about it because people would think he was crazy." IT WAS OVER THERE: Al Baker, an Auburn, Ala., policeman, points to where he spotted UFO streaking across the sky. Smith held to his word. He would tell The ENQUIRER only: "What Billy says goes for me." Patrolmen Steve Segrest and Wayne Sexton of neighboring Tallassee, Ala., watched the object with Clayton and Smith. "I used to be skeptical about these things," Segrest said. "Now I'm not near as skeptical. We watched some object up there. And I don't believe it was man-made." Sexton said: "It had to be a UFO of some type. There was no way it could have been anything we know about." Sgt. Mid Giles of the Notasulga, Ala., police, said: "When it suddenly shot off, I realized it couldn't have been a weather balloon like I first thought. I'm convinced it was no regular type of flying machine." His partner, officer Jim Reynolds said: "I never believed in UFOs until that night. Now I'm puzzled and confused." Officer Al Baker of the Auburn, Ala., police, who also witnessed the streaking light, said: "Whenever people said they had seen a UFO, I thought it was just a bunch of hogwash. But I've got to admit these things do exist." Officer Jack Walton, also of Auburn, said: "I'm not going to say it was a flying saucer with little green men in it. But it was some form of UFO. The other officers just laughed and said, 'You've been seeing things.' That made me mad. I know what I saw." Patrolman Dave Maddux of Lanett, Ala., said: "At first I thought I was seeing a star, maybe distorted by heat haze. "But then it started to move, first towards the ground, then up again, and went over a hill." Sgt. Wayne Meadows, also of the Lanett police, said: "All I know is that it wasn't a plane, helicopter, balloon or star." National Enquirer Nov. 4, '73 # Mysterious Wave of UFOs Reported Mystery flights of UFOs -- unidentified flying objects -- were sighted over two southern states recently, prompting a deluge of phone queries to police by a perplexed populace. The ENQUIRER quickly sent in a team of reporters and photographers to seven towns to dig out the story. Our staffers located nearby a dozen police officers who personally viewed the UFOs. Here are their startling reports. === Page 13 of 30 MENSA Dr Sprinkle Remember this! A NON-PROFIT EDUCATIONAL CORPORATION CHARTERED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, 50 EAST 42ND STREET, NEW YORK, N.Y. 10017 November 9, 1973 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Ted Owens, who is known as "PK Man - The UFO Prophet", and is a member of Mensa, informed me by letter on Tuesday, October 23, 1973, that it was his intention to telepathically communicate with UFO's and ask them to appear within a 100 mile area of Cape Charles, Virginia, and show themselves to the police within that area. On October 25, 1973, two days later, a UFO appeared over the head of a policeman in Chase City, Virginia (within the specified 100 mile area) for 15 minutes, as described in the Richmond Times-Dispatch dated October 26, 1973. Thus, an example of the type of occurrence predicted in Mr. Owen's letter to me, written in advance of the occurrence, did take place. Sincerely, Max L. Fogel Max L.

Huff said Marion Owen, the Chase City police radio dispatcher, first sighted the object after noticing an unusual light reflection on the window of the police station. Owen radioed Huff, who drove to the west side of town and parked on a railroad bridge, almost under the object, Huff said. Huff said the soundless object, fairly large, with a color that resembled a very bright star, hovered motionless over the town for about five minutes then moved rapidly to the north, reversed direction and returned to a position over his head. It stayed motionless for another five minutes before heading rapidly in a westerly direction, he added. UFOs are probably taken a little more matter-of-factly in this area since two well-publicized and still unexplained sightings occurred in 1967 in nearby South Hill and Lunenburg County. In the South Hill incident, a warehouseman said, in April 1967 that he rounded a curve and encountered an object 12 feet in diameter, standing on three legs, that resembled an aluminum storage tank. The object suddenly left the ground in a burst of brilliant light, he reported. The blacktop street caught fire, and when police arrived on the scene the tar was still hot and smoking. Two months later, a rural Lunenburg County storekeeper said she was startled one night by a thundering roar. She looked out her bedroom window and saw a bright light which she described as so bright "you could see every leaf on the tree." That object also allegedly left burn marks in the highway. Friday, Oct. 26, 1973.......... Dr. Max Fogel, Mensa, Philadelphia Dear Dr. Max: I am tickled pink...to be able to send you this electrifying documentation! First, because the UFO's (SI's) that I contacted telepathically with my special UFO brain... answered almost immediately...very next day, in fact...by appearing in the area I specified in my letter to you earlier plus showed themselves to the police, just as I specified...matter of fact, this UFO made SURE the message got over...by leaving the policeman and then RETURNING! (See newsclip.) Second, am tickled...because this couldn't happen to a nicer scientist than Dr. Max Fogel. As you well know, just a handful of the scientific community had guts enough to let it be known that they are in contact with PK Man..and only you...have guts enough to give me signed confirmations whenever I bring about a "miracle". (Dr. Hynek should damn well have sent me a signed, notarized confirm when I stopped that volcano in Sicily, but nope, he didn't.) So to me...you are "King of the Scientists"! Now, if any scientists that you know want to scoff at me, or your connection with me...simply show them the letters I sent to you last Tuesday and Wednesday... then show them this newsclipping! The SI's LIKE this idea...this experiment-demonstration I have set up...and they have lost no time in acting on it! I had thought perhaps they'd take weeks to show up, but they did it the very next day! So, it has begun! So, to briefly recap...I wrote to you last Tuesday and again Wednesday... telling you that I would communicate with my UFO's (that I have worked with and for for 10 years) and ask them to appear within a 100 mile radius of where I live, the Eastern Shore...using this Cape Charles as the "bullseye". Furthermore, I told you I would ask them to show themselves to the police and other responsible persons. Furthermore, I told you I would also telepathically contact the "UFO Monsters" of various kinds... and bring them, also, to this area. Furthermore, in time to come, I told you, I'd make this 100 mile area the "UFO capitol of the world" in essence. All right. Already one UFO has answered my call, and in no uncertain terms, as this Oct. 26 newsclip from the Richmond Times-Dispatch newspaper points out! Your friend and brother M....

Chase, Say Military Policemen Two badly shaken military policemen say a "saucer-shaped flying object" dived at their patrol car and ran it off the road in a 100-mile-an-hour nighttime chase across a deserted U.S. Air Force base. The weird incident took place at Hunter Air Force Base near Savannah, Ga., during the same 48-hour period in which a wave of UFOs was reported over the Alabama-Georgia border 300 miles away. "I thought it was going to hit us," MP Randy Shade, 23, said of the UFO, "or at least smash the blue police light on top of our car. "I kept my foot on the gas -- we were going over 100 -- and concentrated on keeping the car on the road. But I could hardly see through the windshield because of the red and white flashes of the saucer's lights just a few feet above us." Said his MP partner, Burt Burns, 22: "I was terrified when that saucer chased us. I was crouched under the dashboard just waiting for it to hit our rooflights. The saucer itself wasn't lit but we could see its outline clearly in the glow from the flashing, pulsing lights underneath it. "It couldn't have been more than a couple of feet above us. I reckon the saucer's size at 50 to 75 feet across." For nearly a mile, the patrol car dashed across the outer taxiway of Hunter Air Force Base. The UFO so unnerved Shade, he said he swerved off the roadway at a right-angle turn and stopped on the grass. "The UFO then went back up to tree-top level and skimmed off into the distance," Shade later reported. The incident occurred early on September 8 while the two Army MPs were on a routine security patrol at Hunter, an obsolete base scheduled for complete shutdown soon. Burns, a former helicopter crew chief, said they first spotted "a cluster of lights in the sky about 2,000 feet up. The lights tracked across the sky flashing red and orange, blue and white." The UFO disappeared behind some trees. But 15 minutes later, at 2:45 a.m., the UFO returned, the MPs reported. After hovering at one end of the deserted runway, its lights flashing brilliantly, it began moving toward the MP patrol car. "When it got closer, we could see the lights were clustered underneath a metallic-looking saucer-shaped body," Shade said. "The saucer didn't make a sound. I couldn't see anything like portholes or windows. It was scary. We just sat there amazed." A base spokesman, Lt. David Anderson, said: "There is no official explanation as to what it was. Nothing showed on radar." **NATIONAL ENQUIRER 11/4/73 Page 41** THEY ALL SAW IT: These police officers all sighted the same UFO in Carrville, Ala. Left to right are: Wayne Sexton and Stephen Segrest of Tallassee police; Billy Clayton of Carrville police; and James Smith, a Carrville auxiliary policeman. === Page 16 of 30 TO Mr. Ted Owens P.O.

Enclosed case attached hereto...is remarkable...albeit it seems to be just another pro football game. In the first place, the Steelers were the "underdogs" in this game. The experts, the pro gamblers, didn't think they could win. Not only that...their star (Steelers), Bradshaw, was injured and could not play. His backup, Hanratty, QB, was injured...and it was thought he could not play long. These facts were known well before the day of the game. IN SPITE OF THIS I TOLD DR. FOGEL THE DAY BEFORE THE GAME THAT I WOULD USE MY POWERS TO TRY TO HELP THE STEELERS WIN. What happened...was truly amazing. Hanratty started the game, even though injured...and shortly had to leave the game for the Steelers. So they put in Gilliam for QB. GILLIAM HAD NEVER THROWN A TOUCHDOWN PASS IN THE PROS. And bear in mind...the Steelers were playing the powerful Washington Redskins! Well, if you were watching the game...you saw two of Gilliam's passes float like a magic trick...or an illusion...into the hands of receivers...one of these passes for a touchdown into the hands of Pearson...WHO HAD NEVER BEFORE CAUGHT A TOUCHDOWN PASS IN THE PROS! But to top it off...with minutes left in the game...the ball jumped around like a flea in a skillet (when Washington was about to score the winning touchdown and miraculously hopped into the hands of a Steeler...and this won the game for the Steelers. Steeler tackle Joe Greene, as you can from the newsclip, summed it up (unknowingly confirming the fact that I was using my tremendous powers in this game)...."We've got somebody up there taking care of us." Never a truer word was spoken. * on the Steeler 10 yard line! Owens (PK/Man) === Page 25 of 30 Chronicle Sporting Green SECTION WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1973 'Going to Play' Gilliam's Vow To Steeler QBs 11/7/73 Pittsburgh "I'm going to play," Joe Gilliam promised. "Terry Bradshaw and Terry Hanratty are going to have to work hard or I'll be breathing down their necks." Gilliam uttered his pledge weeks ago, then waited patiently as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers' taxi squad for an opportunity to prove his point. It came Monday night, as the Steelers, already minus starter quarterback Bradshaw, played the Washington Redskins. Afterward, Gilliam talked about his performance in the Steelers' 21-16 victory. "I had faith that sooner or later I'd get a chance," Gilliam said. "I tried to stay ready mentally. I was glad I could come in and do it when they needed me." Second-stringer Hanratty, already suffering from a painful rib injury, started in place of Bradshaw, sidelined with a shoulder separation. His rib injury aggravated, Hanratty left early in the third quarter, putting second-year man Gilliam into the game with a 14-6 lead. "My idea wasn't to be conservative, but to move the football ... any way I saw fit," Gilliam said. Early in the fourth quarter, Gilliam connected with Barry Pearson for the young receiver's first NFL touchdown. "I had a chance for my first touchdown," Pearson said. "Nothing was going to stop me." It also was Gilliam's first pro touchdown pass. Gilliam also tossed a second-and-12 pass at the Steeler 22 into the arms of Washington's Brig Owens, for Owens' second interception of the game. "We've got somebody up See Page 64, Col 7 11/7/73 Steelers SHEET "A" From Page 63 there taking care of us," quipped Steeler tackle Joe Greene, who recovered one Redskin fumble and fell on two others by Steelers. With five minutes left, Washington's Billy Kilmer tossed to Larry Brown, who was hit hard by Safety Mike Wagner. The ball jumped out of Brown's arms and into those of Pittsburgh safety Glen Edwards. Edwards fumbled when he was hit on the same play. But Greene came up with the ball on the Steeler seven and Pittsburgh ran out the clock for its 13th successive regular-season home victory. Hanratty was injured when he tried to recover a fumble. "our plans are for Hanratty to heal," said Pittsburgh coach Chuck Noll. "And our other plans are for Bradshaw to heal. "In any case, there's Joe." The loss dropped the Redskins, 5-3, into a tie with Dallas for first place in the National Conference East. Pittsburgh, now 7-1, holds a 2 1/2-game lead over Cleveland in the American Conference Central.

This letter sent to me by one of my Disc People...i.e., one of the people from all over the world who have sent for the Si (UFO) disc... which is coded and charged with energy by me according to the instructions of the SI's...is of the utmost importance, for several reasons. First, remember that when she had this startling experience, she had my SI disc in her purse. Now, I have received (and sent on to Otto Binder) many many letters from my Disc People who have had UFO's approach them, or had experience with UFO entities in their homes. Then consider...her experience is the very same experience my daughter and I had years ago in Dallas, Texas...when the cigar-shaped UFO approached our car...and we "became conscious" an hour later. Didn't even know the hour's time had elapsed until I checked our watch. Next...note that she says that EVER SINCE HER EXPERIENCE I HAVE COME TO HER MIND OFTEN. It is my educated guess that the SI's programmed her mind...and it was an important part of their infinitely intelligent plan for her to come back into contact with me. Finally...it is EXTREMELY interesting that she uses the term "compelled"! That is, she was COMPELLED to write to me. As Otto Binder pointed out in one of his articles on my work...I had actually worked out an arrangement with the editor of Saga Magazine...telling him I would ask the UFO's to COMPEL people to get copies of Saga containing articles about me! Since that time I have received umpteen letters from people... many many...telling me how they were COMPELLED to write to me, or get Saga magazine! Otto has these letters in his files, to use when he writes a book about my life. So I feel that this letter is so significant...am including it in this UFO file. Owens === Page 27 of 30 disc people taken then compelled!! Book 6.10 Explain what happened. Oct. 30, 1973 Sighting Dear Mr. Owens, For some reason you have been much in my mind lately. About two years ago I sent for one of your Si discs and though I don't wear it on my person I carry it in my purse all the time. I heard that you started a little church. Is is still operating? Please accept this small donation--wish it could be more. I would like to tell you of a strange experience I had about two months ago. I was driving alone on a lonely mountain road about 60 miles south of Tucson, early in the afternoon. I turned around to start for home. I just got turned around then off to my right about a mile away across a steep canyon and about half way up a mountain (there were no other roads out there) I saw a brilliant white light. Naturally I stopped my car to take a look at it. Glancing at my watch I saw that it was 1:30 p.m. As I looked at the light, a smaller light detached itself and floated toward me. I wasn't afraid, but as it came closer I had an overpowering desire to go to sleep. I tried to fight it, but finally put my head down on the steering wheel--for a moment, I thought. The next thing I knew, someone was pounding on the car window (I had all the doors locked and windows up) and hollering "Lady, lady are you okay?" It was a young man driving a big butane gas truck who had come up behind me and was checking to see if I were alright. I automatically looked at my watch and it was 3:00 p.m. I had a very bad headache and my pulse was racing. There was no sign of any light. More than an hour and one half had gone by without my having recollection of anything. The young man was kind enough to follow me till I came to the main highway. Incidentally, when I turned around to go home I was neither tired nor sleepy and felt fine. Can you give me any explanation of this occurrence? I did read in the paper the following day that UFO'S had been spotted in the Sierra Vista and Ajo area which isn't too far from there. It has been ever since then that you have come to my mind so often and I seem to be compelled to write you. I do hope that you can find the time to answer me personally. I would certainly appreciate it. I hope this finds you in good health and your little church flourishing. Most sincerely, Eloise T. Schell 6947 E. 22nd St. Tucson, Arizona 85710 === Page 28 of 30 8 EL NUEVO DIA--Lunes 12 de Noviembre de 1973 En Mayagüez, el fotógrafo William Rosario tomó esta foto de un misterioso objeto volador; ahora, en toda la isla aparecen personas que juran haber visto cosas parecidas surcando el espacio. # Cazadores de OVNIS Por NESTOR F. CONCEPCION De El Nuevo Día GRUPOS de ciudadanos interesados en "descubrir misterio" dedicaron el fin de semana a realizar investigaciones sobre la presunta aparición de Objetos Voladores No Identificados (OVNIS) en diversos sectores de Puerto Rico. En una de las "expediciones" participó un reportero de El Nuevo Día, que pudo confirmar que "la fiebre de los platillos voladores" se extiende por toda la isla. El lugar de mayor atractivo e interés para los investigadores fue El Yunque, la cima más alta de la Sierra de Luquillo, en la parte noreste del país. Un grupo de estudiosos del fenómeno OVNI dicen que allí hay ocultas "criaturas extrañas". DICHAS "CRIATURAS", según aducen algunos de los que alegan haberlas visto, posiblemente viajan a la tierra en naves que salen del lado oscuro de la luna. Otros afirman que son seres "intraterrestres" y que por esa razón le temen a la luz, cosa que presumiblemente comprobaron al alumbrarlas con linternas. Los individuos que "ven" los seres raros pudieran ser catalogados como "fanáticos", pero todos ellos aparentan firmeza en sus convicciones. Los expedicionarios locales estuvieron también en el sector del municipio de Toa Alta donde los vecinos revelaron que un extraño aparato volador dejó caer polvo caliente parecido a ceniza. Los residentes del barrio Quebrada Cruz reafirmaron que en noches recientes divisaron un objeto extraño en forma ovalada y de gran tamaño, que, sin hacer mucho ruido, volaba a baja altura. DESCRIBIERON al objeto como de color plateado y muy luminoso. Además, los vecinos sostuvieron que en "la nave" viajaba "algo" que podría ser el piloto y que tenía apariencia humana. Pedro Nieves, un mecánico que avistó el OVNI, manifestó que notó que la nave trataba de aterrizar, pero que al no poder hacerlo, dio un viraje brusco y se internó en una nube. Algunos residentes en Toa Alta afirman que las apariciones de OVNIS se han registrado en horas de la noche y de la madrugada. Nadie ha podido comunicarse con "los tripulantes" de los platillos. Sobre las montañas del municipio de Maricao también se han divisado OVNIS. Allí los describen como objetos voladores luminosos que permanecen en el espacio haciendo movimientos rotativos y que a la misma vez lanzan llamas de fuego. VECINOS de Maricao, que fueron entrevistados por los investigadores "de fin de semana" indicaron que las apariciones de los OVNIS se han observado desde la propia plaza pública del municipio. Los estudiosos del fenómeno de los objetos voladores no identificados estuvieron visitando también las municipalidades de Mayagüez y Cabo Rojo. En Mayagüez, como se sabe, fueron tomadas las fotografías de un OVNI por el fotógrafo William Rosario. En Cabo Rojo, grupos de personas han revelado que han visto en el firmamento naves "extrañas". Una de las personas que ha estado estudiando minuciosamente todo lo relacionado con los OVNIS que se han observado en Puerto Rico, es el escritor y sacerdote católico Salvador Freixedo, cuyo libro mas reciente, "El Diabólico Inconsciente", enfoca el tema de los misteriosos platillos voladores. En una parte del libro, Freixedo, apunta que "el fenómeno OVNI se nos presenta como una ventana más que se le abre a la humanidad para que caiga en la cuenta de que alrededor de ella hay otros mundos, otras dimensiones, otras existencias". NOTE - SCIENTISTS See Eloise Schell letter, enclosed, with accompanying info by me. I have received recently many letters from disc people...telling me of UFO's that have appeared in THEIR locality. Could my SI discs.... have been the "key" to the appearance of the UFO's in 25 States in October? Some SI plan...to get near my Disc People? Remember that my SI Discs are carried by people in every State of the United States...including Puerto Rico, Alaska and Hawaii! Furthermore... recall that Dr. Juan Arenas in MAYAGUEZ, Puerto Rico flew me out there last year...where I called out a UFO near his home so that it could be observed by him and his son, Kevin. I have his signed confirmation of the occurrence. (See photo of UFO taken last month over Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, in this newsclip.) Owens === Page 29 of 30 From "El Nuevo Día"; November 12, 1973; page 8. - UFOs Hunters - Groups of citizens interested in the UFOs were last weekend searching for those mysterious objects, in Puerto Rico. In one of the "expeditions" was an "El Nuevo Día" reporter, that can tell that the "flying saucer" fever is growing in the island. The more attractive place for the investigations was "El Yunque", the highest point in the "Sierra de Luquillo", in the northeast part of the country. A group of ufologist told us that in that mountain they have seen "strange creatures". Those "creatures," according to what they say, possibly come to the earth in space ships that travel from the occult part of the moon. Others tell that the creatures are living inside our planet and that's why they are afraid of the light, as they could see when they turned on their flashlights. The guys that "see" the strange creatures are very assure of their convictions. Local ufologist also visited the town of Toa Alta (in the north; at about 30 miles from San Juan) where the inhabitants tell they have been seeing a strange flying machine. === Page 30 of 30 2 The residents of the zone named Quebrada Cruz, in Toa Alta, tell that the last nights they have seen a strange oval object, that, without any noise, was flying at low height. They say the object drop a certain hot dust, like ashes. They described the object as silver colored and very bright. And, the residents, tell that in the ship they could see "somebody" with human appearance. Pedro Nieves, an automechanic that saw the UFO, told that he could see that the ship was trying to land, but that she could not, and after a sharp turn, climbed to a cloud. Also over the mountains of the small town of Maricao the people have seen the UFOs. They describe the UFOs as lighted objects that stay in the space doing rotatory movements, and that at the same time throw fire rays. The UFOs researchers also visited the municipalities of Mayagüez and Cabo Rojo. In Mayagüez a local photographer, William Rosario, shoot several photos of a UFO. In Cabo Rojo, groups of persons have told that they have seen "strange" ships in the sky. Translated by A.R.R.

Atlantic seaboard... is weather control at its finest! If you will refer to your files on me from last winter... you will see that I controlled the weather excellently then... setting heat records for winter on the East Coast... and have just done so for a second year. Also... on the Larry Angel television show several weeks ago... full hour show with Larry as host and me as guest... Larry brought out this East Coast weather control subject, and asked if I would repeat it. I told him that I would do my best to do so. You are seeing the results. And notice... that the West is getting PLASTERED with cold and snow! All that is necessary... is for me, once a day, to form a mental picture of the United States... and "see" in my minds eye rays of light and heat beaming down on the Eastern half. The four huge UFO's take it from there... and by some means that they have... reflect the suns rays down, pinpointed where I am directing it. In cooperation with me. PS... It MUST be cold, however, in spots... for a few days... here and there... just as a man can hold his water just for so long, and then must get to the bathroom... so Nature cannot allow sustained heat out of season, without an occasional breakthrough of cold to hold a balance. Storms Stun West; East Springlike Virg. Pilot 12/28/73 Virginian-Pilot, Friday, Dec. 28, 1973 Snow, Rain, and Wind; Balmy Spell Flood Threat By United Press International A new winter storm threatened the West Thursday while springlike weather raised fears of flooding in the East. A storm which moved inland off the Pacific Wednesday night highballed eastward, dropping up to nine inches of snow at Ellensburg, Wash. Snow slides blocked White Pass in the Cascade Mountains for several hours. The driver and four passengers were critically injured Thursday when a Boise Winnemucca Stages bus slammed into boulders in a rock cut on snow-covered U.S. 95 near Jordan Valley, Ore., and plunged down an embankment. As many as 12 other passengers were injured. Two people died in northeastern Kentucky Wednesday when violent winds swept the area. A woman was killed by a falling tree limb and a man by a wall that collapsed on him at a construction site. Travel warnings were up in Idaho and Montana. And the National Weather Service said areas of eastern Colorado, hit hard by a snow storm Monday, were especially vulnerable to new weather woes. Heavy rains -- up to 2 inches in 24 hours -- washed the Oregon and north California coasts. Unseasonably high temperatures and rains forced streams and rivers from their banks in sections of Upstate New York and moderate flooding was forecast. An ice jam forced the closing of two generating stations on the upper Hudson River. Flood warnings were in effect along stretches of the Greenbrier River and the Potomac's south branch in West Virginia after two days of heavy rainfall. In the water-sogged South, the flood threat eased in Mississippi and Alabama. Record high temperatures for the date were set early in the morning at Wilmington, Del., with 65, and Baltimore, with 62. Readings at 7 a.m. were in the 60s from the mid-Atlantic Coast south into Florida and in the 70s in Florida's southern tip. === Page 2 of 27 FROM THE DESK OF Mr. Ted Owens (PK MAN) Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 January 24, 1974 Dear Salvatore: The phenomena of footsteps, gastly voices, objects moving...have all happened in our home...wherever we've lived...and they are the SI's; invisible, but there, nonetheless.

Instead of the usual January milieu of overcoats, frigid wind, and muddy snow piled at the side of the street, Virginia had barefoot college students, office workers going to work in shirt-sleeves, and brown-bag lunches in the park. Most of the state had readings such as those recorded by the National Weather Service in Richmond where the weather bureau reported the warmest January in 24 years and an average daily temperature of 45.3 degrees -- six degrees above normal. But even as people celebrated the springlike weather, somebody always had to mention that it was, after all, just January and spring in January was ridiculous. In the Roanoke Valley and in the Danville area, farmers weren't exactly ecstatic over the beautiful days. Fruit trees were beginning to blossom and city residents found last fall's tulip bulbs peeking up through soil that just had to turn cold again. In Williamsburg, the colonial gardens were beginning to think spring and Norfolk's azaleas were also beginning to believe the rumor. Record high temperatures brought relief to many, especially those concerned over the fuel crisis and a potential shortage of fuel oil. "The weather has been a blessing," said a spokesman for a large fuel company in Roanoke. If the weather had not cooperated, he said, his firm would have run out of its January allotment of fuel long before the end of the month. In Waynesboro, a spokesman for Whitaker Oil Co. said much the same thing. "It was the warm weather that kept consumption down," he said. "Tell the people we appreciate them being real conservative." A fuel dealer in Roanoke said his company was in good shape because of the warm weather, but looking ahead, he warned that a prolonged cold spell could wipe out his January fuel savings in 10 days. Although farmers were concerned about the next cold wave, the State Department of Agriculture and Commerce said the warm weather had not had time to adversely effect Virginia's peach and apple orchards. "The warm weather has not been of long enough duration to get the buds out of dormancy," a spokesman for the agency said. Although temperatures climbed into the 70s in most of the state for at least a brief time during the month, the weather bureau in Richmond said none of the days came close to breaking an all-time January record. That record, the weatherman said, was a sizzling 80 degrees recorded Jan. 17, 1943. ## Winter Bonus Feb. 1, 1974 Washington's famed cherry blossoms are just as surprised as you about the weather we're having. They are in full bloom this week, and the capital's annual Cherry Blossom Festival isn't until April. (AP) === Page 3 of 27 -2- ..........

Brad Steiger's book, ATLANTIS RISING (Dell) was released in September, although it was written and at the publisher's desk in 1970, and has sold quite well throughout the world, showing the current interest in the subject. Today there is a current theory that says there are vast empires under the ocean, and as Brad says, "And what better place for Atlantis to exist than under the sea?"...How reliable the call may have been we may never know, but last September we received a telephone call, allegedly from a young lady in Florida, claiming to be a citizen of a vast empire located under the Bermuda Triangle in the Atlantic Ocean. It was a direct-dial call, so we could not be certain that it even came from Florida, and less sure of her claims, but she did answer all of our questions without hesitation, and gave the right answers, according to our knowledge. Of course, there is a problem in itself--we had to know what to ask her, and the obvious answers, and if she was reasonably well-read on the subject, she could know the answers as well as we did. Little, if anything, was proved by the call, but thought I would pass it along for whatever interest it might be to you. ++++++ === Page 4 of 27 Va. Pilot Feb. 24, 1974 Sales Off 15-25% # Va.'s Heating Oil Saved by Weather By The Associated Press Mild winter temperatures and consumer conservation has produced a savings in heating oil in Virginia, and it appears that even if temperatures drop drastically there will be enough oil to go around. "Someone upstairs has really helped us a lot this winter," said A.G. Miller, manager of the heating oil department for Exxon's Newport News district office. "Sales are down considerably," said Norman Minter, Union 76 distributor in Danville. "In fact, I'd say about 25 per cent for this area. I think the decline can be attributed to mild weather and to the fact that people really have cut back their thermostats." Most distributors said their heating oil sales were down between 15 and 25 per cent this winter. Ronald Powell of Frank Cline and Son, a Harrisonburg Citgo distributor, said "the picture is not bad now, and the only thing which could change it would be an awful long, cold spring." Powell said the biggest problem is people calling for oil when their tanks are half full. Miller said company figures show about a 20 per cent decrease in the number of cold days this winter when compared to last winter. But he cautioned that three weeks of subfreezing weather "could throw everyone off." "As it stands now we should be able to take care of all our customers because the demand for fuel oil has definitely been down lately," Miller said. George Lecuyer, president of the Peninsula Oil Dealers Association, said most Peninsula area fuel oil dealers haven't been as busy lately as they were at the start of the winter because they haven't had the heavy schedule of deliveries to make. "February is usually a cold month, but I doubt that we would have much of a problem if we did get some cold weather," he said. Asked about a surplus of heating oil because of the mild weather, Lecuyer said that only a short-term inventory surplus exists but would be exhausted with the start of cold, winter weather. === Page 5 of 27 REMEMBER THE WEATHER DEMONSTRATION I GAVE YOU LAST YEAR?

Pilot Jan 19, 1974 ********** === Page 6 of 27 The Virginian-Pilot Monday, February 4, 1974 Section B By MIKE SMITH Virginian-Pilot Staff Writer Consider the plight of the Nebraskan, if you will. While the rest of the nation frolics through a winter full of balmy days, the Cornhuskers, sturdy beings that they are, are huddling their way through weeks of subzero temperatures. There are no barefoot youths gamboling about the University of Nebraska campus. No bare-midriffed females prancing over green expanses as they do here in Tidewater. Doubtless, neither the huddling Nebraskan nor the gamboling Virginian realizes it, but both are being influenced by that Great River in the sky. Ah, you say. The lightness of the last month has surely made the writer balmy in the head. But no, there really is a river in the sky. Unlike the loitering Mississippi, this sky river dashes across the Northern Hemisphere at speeds that sometimes exceed 200 miles per hour. It is this river, called a jet stream when it reaches high velocity, that is creating these halcyon days of winter for most of the nation. Dr. J. Murray Mitchell of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the river has, (for some unexplained reason) moved farther north this winter than last. Normally, the Great River of wind moves south in winter, allowing icy Arctic blasts to invade the United States. But by moving north, the river, at an altitude of about 25,000 feet, has trapped the cold fronts in Canada and sent them sliding over to the other side of the world where in Asia the river is farther south than usual. Like any earthly river, the sky river meanders, wanders here and there, rushes in where it finds a soft spot, and ricochets off hard spots. Such a soft spot has led to the cold winter of the Nebraskans. A large meander or loop has dropped down into Montana, Nebraska, and parts of Arizona and New Mexico bringing with it the only winterlike weather this winter. To the west, this meander enters the United States from the northwest dipping toward the southeast, causing winds to flow in that direction. The meander completes itself by heading back north over the eastern part of the country. As it heads northward it carries warm, moist air out of the Gulf of Mexico. Along with the river there is a trough. This trough, not the hog kind but one created by low pressure and geographic features, has remained relatively stationary between the Pacific Ocean and the Rocky Mountains for the last six weeks, Dr. Mitchell said. This through helps prevent any deep intrusions of cold from the north. Lest you think, in the warmth of our Tidewater winter, that this may be the beginning of something hot, Mitchell is quick to point out that the general trend for the last 30 years has been toward cooling of the earth's atmosphere. "The fact that you're getting a lot of warm weather or even that the whole nation is getting it isn't necessarily inconsistent with the cooling trend because world-average trends aren't always reflected in local trends," said Mitchell. As for why the earth is cooling off, Mitchell said it's anybody's guess. Such inability to explain the reasons behind the weather is not unusual to weather forecasters. For example, meteorologists know that the west-central portion of Africa has endured nearly five years of drought because the very dry air that normally overlies the Sahara Desert has moved south, displacing the more moist air of the west-central area. What made the dry Sahara air move south is a mystery, Mitchell said. It is compounded by the fact that air flow has remained in basically the same position for five years. Although it can't answer all the questions, the National Weather Service can supply us with some weather facts to ponder while we look, with some apprehension, at the tulip and daffodil bulbs that are peeking through the pine straw and the azaleas that are beginning to blush with overanxiousness: * The average temperature for January was 48.6 degrees, which was 8.1 degrees above normal. * Last month was the warmest January in 24 years. * Tidewater had only 35 hours of below-freezing temperatures last month. Having absorbed such undoubtedly useful tidbits of information, ponder the 30-day weather forecast that predicts that the warm trend will continue through February with less than the average amount of precipitation. Mitchell said there's a good chance the meander pattern will break, thereby bringing in more winterlike weather, but he said it's impossible to predict when it will happen. Terry Ritter, head meteorologist in the Norfolk National Weather Service office, was a little more optimistic about warm weather staying. He said, "There isn't any flow pattern that indicates winter will rear its ugly head." Romp on Virginians. SCIENTISTS... THE ABOVE REFERS TO MY EAST COAST AREA HERE. Owens === Page 7 of 27 Va.

The chances of rain are 10 per cent today and zero tonight and Sunday. A small craft advisory is in effect for northwest winds at 20 to 30 miles per hour today. Winds will decrease to 10-20 m.p.h. from the northeast to east tonight and to 10-15 m.p.h. Sunday. The outlook for Monday through Wednesday calls for fair weather with near normal temperatures. The daily highs will average in the lower 50s and nightly lows in the middle 30s. A cold front following a low-pressure center that moved offshore today will move east and bring drier, colder air into the area as it is pushed by a high-pressure center over the Northern Plains that is expected to reach the coast by Sunday night.

Day- === Page 8 of 27 B3a Virginian-Pilot, Friday, February 22, 1974 # Warm Weather Melts Ski Resort Hopes By CONRAD PAYSOUR Landmark News Service Many North Carolinians may have shuddered a bit when they read recently that snow was falling in many areas of the North Carolina mountains and that colder weather was predicted for much of the state. But not the operators of ski resorts. The unseasonably warm weather that has prevailed over the state for most of the winter has hurt the ski business this year. Some motel operators and other businessmen in ski resort areas of the state have also reported that their business is off as a result of the ski business being curtailed by warm weather. "You can tell the difference," one Waynesville businessman reported earlier in the week. He added, "but it is snowing outside right now." In nearby Maggie Valley, Ross Prevost, general manager of the motel section of Maggie Valley Country Club and Motor Lodge and president of the Maggie Valley Merchants Association, said: "They're making snow right now. They can make up for some of the lost business, but not all of it." And that, of course, has been the problem for much of the winter so far. North Carolina ski resorts depend on two types of snow, natural and manmade. When it's warm there is not natural snow, and it's also impossible to make snow. Cataloochee Ski Resort President Rick Coker makes no bones about being hurt by the warm weather. "I have never seen a worse winter," he commented. He said December was about average but that there were only three days in January that were cold enough for skiing. Altogether this winter Cataloochee has been able to open its ski slopes for only 23 days. He said that in a normal winter, there would be about 45 or so days of skiing at this point in the skiing season. Coker said that the fewest number of skiing days the resort has ever had in one season has been 52 or 53 days. "We might be able to make some of it up if we can ski into March, but March is a fickle month," he said. "I don't feel you can make it up now." Col. Paul Jones, general manager of Wolf Laurel at Mars Hill, said that as far as skiing business goes there, "The warm weather has been the difference between life blood and no life blood." === Page 9 of 27 Virginian-Pilot, Tuesday, Jan. 1, 1974 A3 # Heavy Snow, Bitter Cold Sweep Through Midwest ## Fuel-Short Travelers Hard Hit By The Associated Press The old year ended with bitter cold and a severe winter storm that dumped heavy snows from Kansas to Ohio Monday and made holiday travel even harder for motorists already plagued by the gasoline shortage. Authorities in Minnesota warned motorists who ran out of gas to guard against exposure. The warmest reported temperature during the night in the state was 22 degrees below zero. The Highway Patrol said it rescued about 20 motorists who ran out of gasoline in the St. Paul-Minneapolis area where temperatures were 25 below. Things were even worse in Bemidji; the thermometer read 35 below. Freezing temperatures sent shivers as far south as the heart of Texas and people in much of the eastern half of the nation were warned of one kind of bad weather or another. People from Ohio through Western New York were warned of heavy snow. The warnings came on top of already heavy snow in Ohio. There was 9 inches in Cincinnati, 9 inches in Dayton, and 5 inches in Cleveland. About 10 inches of snow fell at Indianapolis and snow elsewhere in Indiana restricted traffic to one-lane on some stretches of interstate highways. A shortage of salt hampered snow removal. The problem stemmed from another storm two weeks ago that dumped up to 21 inches of snow in some areas and caused the depletion of much of the salt stockpiled for the winter. Elsewhere in the Midwest, Lambert-St. Louis International Airport in Missouri was shut down for more than 20 hours, finally reopening on Monday. While Monday was springlike in Southeastern Virginia, it was winterlike in Springfield, Ill., where this resident is shoveling a path through 2 feet of snow.

(UPI) -- Rescuers Thursday searched for the bodies of nine men buried in a mudslide caused by record rainfalls that sent rivers over their banks and caused millions of dollars damage in five Pacific Northwest states. Search teams, including sheriff's deputies and Explorer Scouts, found three bodies in a creek about a mile below the 125-foot high and 400-foot long slide. The victims were identified as Roy James and Mark Garoutte of Roseburg, Ore., and Robert Keller, Portland, Ore. The National Weather Service said another storm was moving down from the Gulf of Alaska and will bring more rain today after a 24-hour respite. The death toll from the West's worst flooding of the winter stood at 14. Besides the nine buried and believed dead at Canyonville, a brother and sister were swept away by high water at Myers Flat, Calif., and two men and a 14-year-old boy were missing and presumed drowned in separate incidents in southern Oregon and northern California. Initial damage estimates indicated that losses would run into the tens of millions of dollars in Oregon, California, Washington, Idaho, and Montana. In four California counties alone, damage was estimated at $15 million. Geologists probed the massive mudslide that buried the nine men, all working on a broken telephone cable, to determine whether the gooey mud had settled enough to permit heavy equipment to try to reach the bodies in the building, a telephone repeater station. Two other men who had been working on the cable, the main telephone coaxial link between Portland, Ore., and Sacramento, Calif., were able to escape. "The entire canyon was full of mud and it was still coming from the top of the mountain," said Ken Kelley, one of the survivors. "We tried to find someone in the vehicles but had to give up as the mud kept coming down." Many major highways and railroad lines were closed by washouts and slides. U.S. 101, the major coastal route north of San Francisco, was closed by slides in six places. "It's kind of a dismal picture this morning," said James Boyd, city manager of Dunsmuir, Calif., near scenic Mt. Shasta, where damage was set at $2.5 million. "We are trying to clean up and we hear there is another big one (storm) coming." Va.

Up to 4 Feet Near L.A.; Desert Resorts Covered JAN. 5, 1974 King Pilot By United Press International Snow fell on deserts in Southern California, Utah, and Arizona Saturday, stranding motorists and blanketing Palm Springs golf courses for the first time in 25 years. Up to 4 feet of snowfall accumulated in the mountains around Los Angeles and an estimated 1,000 people were marooned in their cars trying to get through snow-clogged passes. Snow covered Palm Springs, desert resort and winter home of many wealthy retired individuals, for the first time in a quarter century. Twenty-one inches of snow piled up at Victorville, Calif., and 16 inches were reported on the desert. Snow was reported at Furnace Creek in Death Valley Friday, for the first time since 1968 and only the third time since the National Park Service began keeping records in Death Valley 15 years ago. The temperature dropped to 33 degrees. Six inches of snow fell by daybreak in Las Vegas, and highway travel from St. George, Utah, into the gambling city was banned unless autos were equipped with chains or snow tires. All other roads into Las Vegas were reported hazardous. All highways in Utah, except for the Salt Lake City area, were snowbound, but all but U.S. 89 into Arizona were sanded and open for at least limited travel. St. George got a foot of snow. Flagstaff, in northern Arizona's mountains, got 4 inches of new snow and the storm, moving inland across the West, dumped 2 inches at Pocatello, Idaho, during the night. An icy storm gripped Oregon, and gusty east winds blew through Columbia Gorge. Timberline Lodge ski area on Mt. Hood was closed because of strong winds. Mt. Hebo, on the Oregon coast, reported a wind gust of 103 miles an hour. Heavy-snow warnings were posted for parts of Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. About 1,000 persons were reported stuck in cars on the north side of Tejon Pass through the Tehachapi Mountains north of Los Angeles Friday night. At one point 400 cars set out to cross the pass behind four highway department snowplows. Motels in California's high desert Antelope Valley were jammed by motorists and truckers stranded in what residents called the worst snowstorm in memory. Where it was too warm for snow, it rained. Mudslides from California hillsides bared of vegetation by last fall's fires swept down canyon roads, pushing cars to the edge of highways. Los Angeles County firemen rescued 60 persons from cars and homes in Topanga Canyon. Temperatures moderated over the Central Plains and middle Mississippi Valley, and drizzle and occasional fog occurred over the Ohio Valley and the South. The mercury dipped to 22 below at Alamosa, Colo., but temperatures were in the 80s in southern Florida. === Page 12 of 27 December 28, 1973 SCIENTISTS Please observe this news clipping carefully.

Instead of the usual January milieu of overcoats, frigid wind, and muddy snow piled at the side of the street, Virginia had barefoot college students, office workers going to work in shirt-sleeves, and brown-bag lunches in the park. Most of the state had readings such as those recorded by the National Weather Service in Richmond where the weather bureau reported the warmest January in 24 years and an average daily temperature of 45.3 degrees -- six degrees above normal. But even as people celebrated the springlike weather, somebody always had to mention that it was, after all, just January and spring in January was ridiculous. In the Roanoke Valley and in the Danville area, farmers weren't exactly ecstatic over the beautiful days. Fruit trees were beginning to blossom and city residents found last fall's tulip bulbs peeking up through soil that just had to turn cold again. In Williamsburg, the colonial gardens were beginning to think spring and Norfolk's azaleas were also beginning to believe the rumor. Record high temperatures brought relief to many, especially those concerned over the fuel crisis and a potential shortage of fuel oil. "The weather has been a blessing," said a spokesman for a large fuel company in Roanoke. If the weather had not cooperated, he said, his firm would have run out of its January allotment of fuel long before the end of the month. In Waynesboro, a spokesman for Whitaker Oil Co. said much the same thing. "It was the warm weather that kept consumption down," he said. "Tell the people we appreciate them being real conservative." A fuel dealer in Roanoke said his company was in good shape because of the warm weather, but looking ahead, he warned that a prolonged cold spell could wipe out his January fuel savings in 10 days. Although farmers were concerned about the next cold wave, the State Department of Agriculture and Commerce said the warm weather had not had time to adversely effect Virginia's peach and apple orchards. "The warm weather has not been of long enough duration to get the buds out of dormancy," a spokesman for the agency said. Although temperatures climbed into the 70s in most of the state for at least a brief time during the month, the weather bureau in Richmond said none of the days came close to breaking an all-time January record. That record, the weatherman said, was a sizzling 80 degrees recorded Jan. 17, 1943. # Winter Bonus Feb. 1, 1974 Washington's famed cherry blossoms are just as surprised as you about the weather we're having.

Pilot Sales Off 15-25% Feb 24, 1974 # Va.'s Heating Oil Saved by Weather By The Associated Press Mild winter temperatures and consumer conservation has produced a savings in heating oil in Virginia, and it appears that even if temperatures drop drastically there will be enough oil to go around. "Someone upstairs has really helped us a lot this winter," said A.G. Miller, manager of the heating oil department for Exxon's Newport News district office. "Sales are down considerably," said Norman Minter, Union 76 distributor in Danville. "In fact, I'd say about 25 per cent for this area. I think the decline can be attributed to mild weather and to the fact that people really have cut back their thermostats." Most distributors said their heating oil sales were down between 15 and 25 per cent this winter. Ronald Powell of Frank Cline and Son, a Harrisonburg Citgo distributor, said "the picture is not bad now, and the only thing which could change it would be an awful long, cold spring." Powell said the biggest problem is people calling for oil when their tanks are half full. Miller said company figures show about a 20 per cent decrease in the number of cold days this winter when compared to last winter. But he cautioned that three weeks of subfreezing weather "could throw everyone off." "As it stands now we should be able to take care of all our customers because the demand for fuel oil has definitely been down lately," Miller said. George Lecuyer, president of the Peninsula Oil Dealers Association, said most Peninsula area fuel oil dealers haven't been as busy lately as they were at the start of the winter because they haven't had the heavy schedule of deliveries to make. "February is usually a cold month, but I doubt that we would have much of a problem if we did get some cold weather," he said. Asked about a surplus of heating oil because of the mild weather, Lecuyer said that only a short-term inventory surplus exists but would be exhausted with the start of cold, winter weather. === Page 19 of 27 REMEMBER THE WEATHER DEMONSTRATION I GAVE YOU LAST YEAR?

Pilot Jan 18, 1974 === Page 20 of 27 The Virginian-Pilot C Monday, February 4, 1974 Section B By MIKE SMITH Virginian-Pilot Staff Writer Consider the plight of the Nebraskan, if you will. While the rest of the nation frolics through a winter full of balmy days, the Cornhuskers, sturdy beings that they are, are huddling their way through weeks of subzero temperatures. There are no barefoot youths gamboling about the University of Nebraska campus. No bare-midriffed females prancing over green expanses as they do here in Tidewater. Doubtless, neither the huddling Nebraskan nor the gamboling Virginian realizes it, but both are being influenced by that Great River in the sky. Ah, you say. The lightness of the last month has surely made the writer balmy in the head. But no, there really is a river in the sky. Unlike the loitering Mississippi, this sky river dashes across the Northern Hemisphere at speeds that sometimes exceed 200 miles per hour. It is this river, called a jet stream when it reaches high velocity, that is creating these halcyon days of winter for most of the nation. Dr. J. Murray Mitchell of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the river has, for some unexplained reason, moved farther north this winter than last. Normally, the Great River of wind moves south in winter, allowing icy Arctic blasts to invade the United States. But by moving north, the river, at an altitude of about 25,000 feet, has trapped the cold fronts in Canada and sent them sliding over to the other side of the world where in Asia the river is farther south than usual. Like any earthly river, the sky river meanders, wanders here and there, rushes in where it finds a soft spot, and ricochets off hard spots. Such a soft spot has led to the cold winter of the Nebraskans. A large meander or loop has dropped down into Montana, Nebraska, and parts of Arizona and New Mexico bringing with it the only winterlike weather this winter. To the west, this meander enters the United States from the northwest dipping toward the southeast, causing winds to flow in that direction. The meander completes itself by heading back north over the eastern part of the country. As it heads northward it carries warm, moist air out of the Gulf of Mexico. Along with the river there is a trough. This trough, not the hog kind but one created by low pressure and geographic features, has remained relatively stationary between the Pacific Ocean and the Rocky Mountains for the last six weeks, Dr. Mitchell said. This trough helps prevent any deep intrusions of cold from the north. Lest you think, in the warmth of our Tidewater winter, that this may be the beginning of something hot, Mitchell is quick to point out that the general trend for the last 30 years has been toward cooling of the earth's atmosphere. "The fact that you're getting a lot of warm weather or even that the whole nation is getting it isn't necessarily inconsistent with the cooling trend because world-average trends aren't always reflected in local trends," said Mitchell. As for why the earth is cooling off, Mitchell said it's anybody's guess. Such inability to explain the reasons behind the weather is not unusual to weather forecasters. For example, meteorologists know that the west-central portion of Africa has endured nearly five years of drought because the very dry air that normally overlies the Sahara Desert has moved south, displacing the more moist air of the west-central area. What made the dry Sahara air move south is a mystery, Mitchell said. It is compounded by the fact that air flow has remained in basically the same position for five years. Although it can't answer all the questions, the National Weather Service can supply us with some weather facts to ponder while we look, with some apprehension, at the tulip and daffodil bulbs that are peeking through the pine straw and the azaleas that are beginning to blush with overanxiousness: * The average temperature for January was 48.6 degrees, which was 8.1 degrees above normal. * Last month was the warmest January in 24 years. * Tidewater had only 35 hours of below-freezing temperatures last month. Having absorbed such undoubtedly useful tidbits of information, ponder the 30-day weather forecast that predicts that the warm trend will continue through February with less than the average amount of precipitation. Mitchell said there's a good chance the meander pattern will break, thereby bringing in more winterlike weather, but he said it's impossible to predict when it will happen. Terry Ritter, head meteorologist in the Norfolk National Weather Service office, was a little more optimistic about warm weather staying. He said, "There isn't any flow pattern that indicates winter will rear its ugly head." Romp on Virginians. SCIENTISTS... THE ABOVE REFERS TO MY EAST COAST AREA HERE. Owens === Page 21 of 27 Va.

There will be variable cloudiness today with the high in the middle 40s. Tonight's low will be near 30, and the high Sunday will be near 40. The chances of rain are 10 per cent today and zero tonight and Sunday. A small craft advisory is in effect for northwest winds at 20 to 30 miles per hour today. Winds will decrease to 10-20 m.p.h. from the northeast to east tonight and to 10-15 m.p.h. Sunday. The outlook for Monday through Wednesday calls for fair weather with near normal temperatures. The daily highs will average in the lower 50s and nightly lows in the middle 30s. A cold front following a low-pressure center that moved offshore today will move east and bring drier, colder air into the area as it is pursued by a high-pressure center over the Northern Plains that is expected to reach the coast by Sunday night. In Norfolk Friday the high of 75 equalled the record set in 1890. The low was 61, and the mean was 68, which was 27 above normal. Va Pilot 1/22/74 # More Springtime The weather in Tidewater today will be fair and mild for the season. The afternoon high temperature will be in the lower 60s. Winds will become north at 10-15 m.p.h. Wednesday afternoon. # A Balmy Bow-Out January will bow out under mostly sunny skies and unseasonably warm temperatures in Tidewater today. A predicted high in the lower 70s may equal or break the Jan. 10 to 20 miles per hour today. Winds will shift tonight to northwest, 15-25 m.p.h. and gusty tonight. Friday's winds will be northerly at 10-20 m.p.h. 1/20/74 # Warmed-Over Day January's springlike warmth, which produced a record-equalling 75 in Norfolk Sunday, will continue today under increasing cloudiness and a threat of showers. The high temperature will be near 70. Under cloudless skies, the 75 peak was reached at 4 p.m. The overnight low was 59 and the mean for the day, 67 was 25 above normal. Jan. 27, 1952 also had a 75, while the date in 1940 saw a record low 11. Tonight will be cloudy with a 50 per cent chance of showers. The low temperature will be in the 50s. Tuesday will bring variable cloudiness and continued warm The high will be in the 70s. Southerly winds of 10 to 15 miles per hour today will increase to 10-20 m.p.h. tonight, and to 15-25 m.p.h. Tuesday. The Wednesday-through-Friday outlook is for considerable cloudiness with showers but becoming fair near the end of period. Daily highs will be in the lower 60s and nightly lows from the middle 40s to about 40. A cold front may edge its way toward Tidewater today, but a strong southwesterly flow aloft may cause it to wash out. This flow is causing unseasonable warmth over all the Southeastern states. It stems from a stationary upper level trough over the Rocky Mountains area. 1/30/74 High in 60s JAN 30 1974 # Still Like Spring After a chance of early-morning rain, Tidewater can expect partly cloudy and mild weather today.

Day- === Page 22 of 27 B3a Virginian-Pilot, Friday, February 22, 1974 # Warm Weather Melts Ski Resort Hopes By CONRAD PAYSOUR Landmark News Service Many North Carolinians may have shuddered a bit when they read recently that snow was falling in many areas of the North Carolina mountains and that colder weather was predicted for much of the state. But not the operators of ski resorts. The unseasonably warm weather that has prevailed over the state for most of the winter has hurt the ski business this year. Some motel operators and other businessmen in ski resort areas of the state have also reported that their business is off as a result of the ski business being curtailed by warm weather. "You can tell the difference," one Waynesville businessman reported earlier in the week. He added, "but it is snowing outside right now." In nearby Maggie Valley, Ross Prevost, general manager of the motel section of Maggie Valley Country Club and Motor Lodge and president of the Maggie Valley Merchants Association, said: "They're making snow right now. They can make up for some of the lost business, but not all of it." And that, of course, has been the problem for much of the winter so far. North Carolina ski resorts depend on two types of snow, natural and manmade. When it's warm there is not natural snow, and it's also impossible to make snow. Cataloochee Ski Resort President Rick Coker makes no bones about being hurt by the warm weather. "I have never seen a worse winter," he commented. He said December was about average but that there were only three days in January that were cold enough for skiing. Altogether this winter Cataloochee has been able to open its ski slopes for only 23 days. He said that in a normal winter, there would be about 45 or 50 days of skiing at this point in the skiing season. Coker said that the fewest number of skiing days the resort has ever had in one season has been 52 or 53 days. "We might be able to make some of it up if we can ski into March, but March is a fickle month," he said. "I don't feel you can make it up now." Col. Paul Jones, general manager of Wolf Laurel at Mars Hill, said that as far as skiing business goes there, "The warm weather has been the difference between life blood and no life blood" === Page 23 of 27 Virginian-Pilot, Tuesday, Jan. 1, 1974 A3 # Heavy Snow, Bitter Cold Sweep Through Midwest ## Fuel-Short Travelers Hard Hit By The Associated Press The old year ended with bitter cold and a severe winter storm that dumped heavy snows from Kansas to Ohio Monday and made holiday travel even harder for motorists already plagued by the gasoline shortage. Authorities in Minnesota warned motorists who ran out of gas to guard against exposure. The warmest reported temperature during the night in the state was 22 degrees below zero. The Highway Patrol said it rescued about 20 motorists who ran out of gasoline in the St. Paul-Minneapolis area where temperatures were 25 below. Things were even worse in Bemidji: the thermometer read 35 below. Freezing temperatures sent shivers as far south as the heart of Texas and people in much of the eastern half of the nation were warned of one kind of bad weather or another. People from Ohio through Western New York were warned of heavy snow. The warnings came on top of already heavy snow in Ohio. There was 9 inches in Cincinnati, 9 inches in Dayton, and 5 inches in Cleveland. About 10 inches of snow fell at Indianapolis and snow elsewhere in Indiana restricted traffic to one-lane on some stretches of interstate highways. A shortage of salt hampered snow removal. The problem stemmed from another storm two weeks ago that dumped up to 21 inches of snow in some areas and caused the depletion of much of the salt stockpiled for the winter. Elsewhere in the Midwest, Lambert-St. Louis International Airport in Missouri was shut down for more than 20 hours, finally reopening on Monday. While Monday was springlike in southeastern Virginia, it was winterlike in Springfield, Ill., where this resident is shoveling a path through 2 feet of snow.

(UPI) -- Rescuers Thursday searched for the bodies of nine men buried in a mudslide caused by record rainfalls that sent rivers over their banks and caused millions of dollars damage in five Pacific Northwest states. Search teams, including sheriff's deputies and Explorer Scouts, found three bodies in a creek about a mile below the 125-foot high and 400-foot long slide. The victims were identified as Roy James and Mark Garoutte of Roseburg, Ore., and Robert Keller, Portland, Ore. The National Weather Service said another storm was moving down from the Gulf of Alaska and will bring more rain today after a 24-hour respite. The death toll from the West's worst flooding of the winter stood at 14. Besides the nine buried and believed dead at Canyonville, a brother and sister were swept away by high water at Myers Flat, Calif., and two men and a 14-year-old boy were missing and presumed drowned in separate incidents in southern Oregon and northern California. Initial damage estimates indicated that losses would run into the tens of millions of dollars in Oregon, California, Washington, Idaho, and Montana. In four California counties alone, damage was estimated at $15 million. Geologists probed the massive mudslide that buried the nine men, all working on a broken telephone cable, to determine whether the gooey mud had settled enough to permit heavy equipment to try to reach the bodies in the building, a telephone repeater station. Two other men who had been working on the cable, the main telephone coaxial link between Portland, Ore., and Sacramento, Calif., were able to escape. "The entire canyon was full of mud and it was still coming from the top of the mountain," said Ken Kelley, one of the survivors. "We tried to find someone in the vehicles but had to give up as the mud kept coming down." Many major highways and railroad lines were closed by washouts and slides. U.S. 101, the major coastal route north of San Francisco, was closed by slides in six places. "It's kind of a dismal picture this morning," said James Boyd, city manager of Dunsmuir, Calif., near scenic Mt. Shasta, where damage was set at $2.5 million. "We are trying to clean up and we hear there is another big one (storm) coming." Va.

Up to 4 Feet Near L.A.; Desert Resorts Covered JAN. 5, 1974 King Pilot By United Press International Snow fell on deserts in Southern California, Utah, and Arizona Saturday, stranding motorists and blanketing Palm Springs golf courses for the first time in 25 years. Up to 4 feet of snowfall accumulated in the mountains around Los Angeles and an estimated 1,000 people were marooned in their cars trying to get through snow-clogged passes. Snow covered Palm Springs, desert resort and winter home of many wealthy retired individuals, for the first time in a quarter century. Twenty-one inches of snow piled up at Victorville, Calif., and 16 inches were reported on the desert. Snow was reported at Furnace Creek in Death Valley Friday, for the first time since 1968 and only the third time since the National Park Service began keeping records in Death Valley 15 years ago. The temperature dropped to 33 degrees. Six inches of snow fell by daybreak in Las Vegas, and highway travel from St. George, Utah, into the gambling city was banned unless autos were equipped with chains or snow tires. All other roads into Las Vegas were reported hazardous. All highways in Utah, except for the Salt Lake City area, were snowbound, but all U.S. 89 into Arizona were sanded and open for at least limited travel. St. George got a foot of snow. Flagstaff, in northern Arizona's mountains, got 4 inches of new snow and the storm, moving inland across the West, dumped 2 inches at Pocatello, Idaho, during the night. An icy storm gripped Oregon, and gusty east winds blew through Columbia Gorge. Timberline Lodge ski area on Mt. Hood was closed because of strong winds. Mt. Hebo, on the Oregon coast, reported a wind gust of 103 miles an hour. Heavy-snow warnings were posted for parts of Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. About 1,000 persons were reported stuck in cars on the north side of Tejon Pass through the Tehachapi Mountains north of Los Angeles Friday night. At one point 400 cars set out to cross the pass behind four highway department snowplows. Motels in California's high desert Antelope Valley were jammed by motorists and truckers stranded in what residents called the worst snowstorm in memory. Where it was too warm for snow, it rained. Mudslides from California hillsides bared of vegetation by last fall's fires swept down canyon roads, pushing cars to the edge of highways. Los Angeles County firemen rescued 60 persons from cars and homes in Topanga Canyon. Temperatures moderated over the Central Plains and middle Mississippi Valley, and drizzle and occasional fog occurred over the Ohio Valley and the South. The mercury dipped to 22 below at Alamosa, Colo., but temperatures were in the 80s in southern Florida. === Page 26 of 27 (GTS) X (Book) Dec 24, 1973 Free P & F Dear Mr. Owens, I saw you on the Larry Angel show.

Text Any textual data included in the document === Page 1 of 6 Date: May 7, 1974 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN My name is Ed Busch, and I have a radio-host show for Station WFAA, Dallas, Texas. Ted Owens, known as "The PK Man" and "The UFO Prophet" was on my show by telephone hook-up to Cape Charles, Virginia, in February of this year, 1974. On that show, being skeptical of the claims of Owens that he could cause weather to be controlled over an area...by collaborating with UFO's that he alleges to communicate with, and work with...I requested to Owens, with my Texas audience listening, that he make it snow at that time in Texas. (The weather was unusually warm, and it certainly would have been 'freakish'.) But Owens declined, saying that that was not how he did things. Then Owens sent me a letter, stating that he, working with the UFO's, would produce a "major demonstration" of weather control over Texas. Following Owens' letter...Texas was struck by an earthquake, 4.5 on the Richter Scale. Then Texas was struck by high-wind and tornados. Then Texas had the coldest weather occur ever in its history. Then Texas was struck by hot winds...that destroyed half of the Texas wheat crop. I am submitting this statement of fact to Owens at his request. It is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. Whether Owens had any connection with the above weather phenomena, I do not know; perhaps it was mere coincidence. But I am stating the plain facts as they occurred, at Owens' request. Ed Busch /S/ Mr. Ed Busch Radio Station WFAA Dallas, Texas State of Texas. County of Dallas, Texas. Sworn to and subscribed to before me this date May 7, 1974 Lydia Hegist Notary Public, County of Dallas, Texas. === Page 2 of 6 My production of "freak weather" and heat for Ed Busch!! Virginian-Pilot, Friday, April 26, 1974 A17 # Texas Panhandle Wheat Lost AMARILLO, Tex. (AP) -- The Texas Panhandle's dryland wheat crop is lost, the victim of a severe drought, bugs, and several weeks of hot, blustery winds. The cost to farmers: $160 million, perhaps more. Officials in Washington say the impact nationally is minimal. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that with the exception of some drought areas of New Mexico and western Texas, this year's crop is "generally good in all areas of the nation." And dealers note that wheat prices, while somewhat higher, don't appear to be reflecting the Texas drought. But the economy of the Panhandle, already crippled by plunging cattle prices, is headed for another shock. Texas usually produces about 5 per cent of the nation's wheat, much of it grown in the Panhandle. If there had been a decent rainfall by April 15, some of the crop might have been salvaged. There was little rain. "In this immediate area I don't think any dryland wheat can be saved," says Arnold Prichard of the Producer's Grain Corp. With no water, the wheat never had a chance. Any sprigs surviving the dry spell were snipped off by insects, mostly green bugs. Even irrigated wheat has suffered from drought and bugs. "Our irrigation wells have to have some help from mother nature," says Milton Johnson of the Producer's Grain Corp. Prichard tells of an irrigation farmer near Bovina, Tex., who watered his 600 acres five times, sprayed insecticide three times, and says now: "Hell, even if wheat was $5 a bushel I couldn't get my money out of it." Knowledgeable producers forecast a Texas wheat crop of less than 50 million bushels, about half the 1973 harvest. "When we have a wheat loss in Texas it touches everybody somewhere -- this is spending money," says Bill Nelson, executive vice president of the Texas Wheat Producers Association. Nelson, who put the wheat loss at $160 million, said the loss simply plucks that much from the national cash register. The drought is so bad that there was no young wheat suitable for cattle grazing. Farmers rent their land to cattlemen in winter and spring when the wheat is two or three inches tall, then the cattle are removed and the crop matures. April 27, 1974...Mr. Ed Busch, Radio WFAA, Dallas, Texas I am still awaiting the signed statement of fact...which I assume, in all fairness, you will supply me. By that I mean...I "worked" for you...to supply your listeners in Texas with a "miracle" of freak weather, at your own instigation. Therefore a simple admission of you to the quite obvious success of same, would not be unreasonable. Now...you can add to the "Texas Miracle File", which is what I call it...the above. So far, since your challenge and my accepting it...Texas has had (1) an earthquake, (2) a tornado attack, (3) some of the coldest weather in the entire history of Texas, and now, (4) "weeks of hot, blustery winds"...which, incidentally, seem to have knocked out the wheat crop in Texas. Sorry about that...but the SI's promised amplified heat, you know (see the original letter); and they promised a "major demonstration." Texas, it seems...is certainly getting one! And, in variety. C. M. Allen FOR / MAN X PS...The giant UFO is still up there, hanging over Texas, invisible...causing effect...and will not move away until I signal it to do so. === Page 3 of 6 May 14, 1974 TO MY SCIENTISTS As if the Texas Miracle I have just completed...was not enough...now you have more! See the Ed Busch file I sent you...note that I talked with Mr. Busch, live on Radio program out of Dallas (by telephone hook-up)...and told him that at that moment there was a giant UFO over Dallas...with the purpose of creating "freak" weather there, in Texas. (Following which came an attack of tornadoes; record cold; and hot winds that wiped out half the wheat crop. I had previously given him a statement in writing that I would ask the UFO's to create freak weather...and four days afterward Texas had an earthquake. This just previous to the "giant UFO" remark.) Now, this above just occurred before the enclosed "UFO flap" over the Dallas-Fort Worth airport. Note that Mrs. Hodgson expressed a specific opinion...that UFO's are attempting to contact humans on earth. I have explained on the Ed Busch Show, and other shows, that when a human sees a UFO...that UFO programs them for something. So, logically, I am sure that the UFO Miss Hodgson saw...programmed her to express the above opinion. Therefore...it is quite exciting...that after I had stated over live radio to Dallas, Texas...that a giant UFO was indeed there...then these UFO sightings occurred (and an actual photo was taken)! Not to mention the concrete "proof" of the freak weather that appeared on cue...to substantiate my statements! It all ties together into a complete picture. Yes? One other tiny detail...which is significantly interesting to me. The UFO in the newsclip...shined down its searchlight on a Mexican family. Now, on the Ed Busch Show I went into great detail, not once, but on two different radio shows...of how the UFO's modified my brain while I was isolated on the desert IN MEXICO! (Many times before I have explained to you how the SI's "talk" by their actions; i.e., the Bigfoot that grabbed Mrs. Owens' hair at Grosse Point, Michigan...the UFO in the target area of Virginia (my "Project Alien" experiment in collaboration with Dr. Pogel) seen by Policeman Owens...thus tying me to these specific happenings.) So...here in this file...you have more explosive material yet. Please add it to the "Ed Busch Radio Show" file. Owens === Page 4 of 6 Sun., May 12, 1974 * * * A-9 # Are UFOs taking a look at Dallas-Fort Worth airport? By BILL CASE Times Herald Metropolitan Staff Are Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and their crews maintaining regular observation vigils on a hill along the west boundaries of the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport at night? Five witnesses from three families have told airport officials and Federal Aviation Administration officers they believe something like that may be happening. All report numerous UFO takeoff sightings and extremely low level flights westward away from the airport during the hours of darkness between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m. The flights occurred during the last six to eight months, they said. Mrs. Sandra Hodgson, 36, a medical technician employed at Irving Community Hospital, who lives in an apartment complex at 2805 Mustang Drive, Grapevine, told The Times Herald she has had numerous sightings en route home from work. "After sighting the lights, which seem to travel and hover at just about tree-top level, on several nights I reported the UFOs to the FAA control tower at D-FW Airport and to George Burledge at the FAA's Fort Worth regional headquarters," she said. "They advised me to try and get a picture of one so I got out my camera on Thursday night and, when a UFO appeared east of our apartment building about 200 yards away, I took a shot." Mrs. Hodgson's picture shows a small jagged twisting yellow light against a pitch black sky. No size or shape of the object is discernable. However, it appears to be moving west from left to right in the classic patterns of the UFO flights away from D-FW airport. Fascinated by the phenomenon. Mrs. Hodgson said one night last week while watching the unusual lights she and a friend, Debbie Carter, 17, who lives in the same apartment complex, got in their car and followed it. "It stopped down a small road over a patch of woods about a mile east of us and beamed a strong white searchlight down into a clearing," she said. "When we got there the light was still hovering in the air over a clearing where a Mexican-American family live in a converted construction building." Mrs. Hodgson and Miss Carter said they found Mr. and Mrs. Lucio Perez and his brother, Leonardo Perez, standing in the clearing looking up at the light. Perez, who does not speak English, took Mrs. Hodgson's photo of the UFO and pointed to the same place in the sky where she and Miss Carter said they saw the object with its searchlight hovering directly over them." He also indicated with gestures the UFO lights appeared to be coming from the field at the edge of the airport. The point they indicated where the lights took off is on a hill providing a panoramic view of the entire airport. Reporters who trudged through high grass and weeds to the fence line reported they found a circular area of grass and weeds about 20 to feet in diameter twisted down in a clockwise pattern. It appeared something had set down on them. Mrs. Hodgson, who said many of her neighbors have seen the lights but do not like to discuss them, believes occupants of the UFOs are attempting to contact humans on earth. "But judging from accounts of the way people have acted toward UFOs and their occupants in other sightings elsewhere, I guess they feel we are hostile," she said. "But I'd give anything to contact them." The only noise Mrs. Hodgson said she has heard during a sighting was a hum similar to that of an electric generator. UFO SIGHTING?--The tiny light appearing in a twisting pattern in this photo is a UFO which Mrs. Sandra Hodgson of Grapevine says is keeping watch on the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. FOUR OF THE FIVE witnesses who say they have seen numerous UFOs taking off at night from a remote western area of the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport point to the spot they say one of them landed in a clearing in the woods. === Page 5 of 6 mr wrangler The Apparel Mart - Room 4009 2300 Stemmons Freeway Dallas, Texas 75207 - 214 637 1271 13 May 1974 Mr. Ted Owens Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 Dear Mr. Owens: I am one of the Ed Busch Talk Show "faithfuls" and your appearances on the Show are indeed high points as far as I am concerned.

It is most appreciated. And just as appreciated...are your inspirational thoughts and messages.. I have put your poem up on the wall in my office...

I cannot do what I have to do...and just barely squeak by each day, with creditors one jump behind me. It cannot keep going on. Yet the stupid government will not help, although it will hand away hundreds of millions to foreign countries that hate America. So....that's the way it is. The SI's...must be utterly disgusted about the situation. They supply the human race with a one-of-a-kind prophet, with a "future brain"...and the human race simply ignores the prophet.

How does he know? "Impressions," said Owens. Eleven days ago, Owens sent a long letter to Patricia Hearst's parents in San Francisco. He wrote, "Your daughter is being held on a boat south of San Francisco. However, the BGs (Bad Guys) have two other locations where they hide her. They move her from location to location every two days." If the Hearsts invite him, Owens will drop everything, fly west and use his talents (PK Power, he calls it) to assist in the search for Miss Hearst. The Hearsts' 20-year-old daughter was kidnapped more than three weeks ago by members of the Symbionese Liberation Army. ### Letter and telegram In that letter of Feb. 13 and a telegram, which he sent two days earlier, Owens urged the Hearsts to turn to people who are good at psychometry. That is the ability to touch things (toys, clothing, jewelry etc.) and divine facts about the people who own these things. (In Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Mrs. Joanne Tomchick was reunited with her two daughters earlier this week with the help of a psychic who used psychometry). Said Owens, "I'd like to see a team of psychics including Peter Hurkos, Jeane Dixon, myself and others assemble in San Francisco to get impressions. "And if these impressions and predictions..." "I'm the greatest" he insists, puffing on a cigar. "I have been picking up things from the Symbionese minds. When I read minds, distance and time are no barriers at all." ### Moving around Filling in details of Miss Hearst's captivity, Owens told me "The second location where she is being held is east of the boat I mentioned. Inland. It's a ranch or farm. There are chickens, livestock. From there, she is moved to San Francisco. To Chinatown. To a basement-type place in a rundown area. They have been using a laundry truck to transport her. "It's a triangular pattern of movement from boat to farm and then up to the San Francisco location. The main man holding her is a foreigner from the Mideast, I believe. In the past he has been connected with airports and murders. Plane hijackings." Owens' vibrations tell him that the Hearst girl is in great danger. "The main man would like to murder her so that the next targets of his kidnaping would be genuinely terrified. But another man in the army has a plan to smuggle the girl out of the U.S. by boat, down the coast to Central America. Maybe Costa Rica. "My impression of the Symbionese leader is that he is short, about 5-5, has a dusky complexion, has a moustache, has a high IQ, is fanatical, trained in guerrilla warfare, arms handling and assassination." Owens said there is no connection between the Hearst kidnaping and the abduction of an editor in Atlanta last week. Although he is 3,000 miles away from the kidnappers of Miss Hearst, Owens says he is receiving the thoughts of the Symbionese loud and clear. "They plan to hijack a half dozen airliners at once. They will use no weapons. Their plan is to kidnap the president of six major airlines and their families and order these men to turn over planes to the Symbionese Army." ### Bad vibrations Owens did not say what the terrorists plan to do with the six airliners. Is Patricia Hearst alive? Owens hesitated and said, "Even for a psychic like me, it is hard to tell now. She has been in great, great danger. I feel like, well, I feel like the cutthroats have the edge in that army. She is in poor shape." RICHMOND (AP) - A Virginia House of Delegates Committee today approved and sent to the House for full debate a bill to raise the state's tax level from $70 to $87 a week. The House Labor and Commerce Committee approved the bill after representatives of the Virginia Manufacturers Association and the Virginia AFL-CIO voiced their support. The two organizations, often reflecting management and other labor, agree so seldom that Julian S. Carper, president of the Virginia AFL-CIO, told the committee, "this is the second time this session the Virginia Manufacturers Association and the AFL-CIO have been in wholehearted agreement." Committee member Richard M. Bagley, D-Hampton, could not resist smiling as he said, "In that case, God save the Commonwealth." The committee also approved a bill sponsored by Sen. Leroy S. Bendheim, D-Alexandria, that would ease the way for localities who find themselves taking over private transit companies to get federal funds. Bendheim said the bill simply spells out rights of employees of the private company when a locality takes over operations. This is necessary, Bendheim said, for the local governing bodies to qualify for funds available under the federal Urban Mass Transportation Act. It does not bind localities to terms of labor contracts already in force, Bendheim responded when Del. Stanley A. Bryan, D-Chesapeake, asked. ### Three survive, 39 men missing in tug sinking VERACRUZ, Mexico (AP) - Four bodies have been recovered and 39 men are missing following the sinking of a Mexican navy tug in the Gulf of Mexico Monday, officials said today. Navy officials said only three survivors were pulled from the water miles off Veracruz. === Page 2 of 2 BONKO "'The Symbionese Liberation Army said it is holding Patricia Hearst as a 'prisoner of war.'" --News Item TED OWENS OF CAPE CHARLES, the round man who describes himself as one of the greatest psychics in the world, says he knows where Patricia Hearst is.

"And if these impressions and predictions were coordinated by the police and FBI, it would give the Hearsts information they would not get otherwise." The Hearst family has not replied to Owens. Owens claims to be half man, half space intelligence. According to Owens, his abilities in psychokinesis (mind over matter) and extrasensory perception are the blessings of creatures from the cosmos. He has a pretty good record in predicting storms, earthquakes, pro football upsets, collisions of ships at sea and, once in a while, an assassination. Filling in details of Miss Hearst's captivity, Owens told me "The second location where she is being held is east of the boat I mentioned. Inland. It's a ranch or farm. There are chickens, livestock.

This is one time when Owens, who has been proclaimed a super psychic by Saga Magazines and other publications, hopes he is all wrong. If the Hearsts want him, Owens is near his phone over there on Eastern Shore, puffing away on a cigar and practicing psychokinesis and other things. ation and the Virginia AFL-CIO voiced their support.

Owens === Page 2 of 4 # Theory estimates lightning strikes Lightning may never strike twice in the same place, so goes the saying, but Staff Scientist Edward Pierce has developed a technique to estimate when and where it will strike first. Dr. Pierce says that the method permits one to determine the likelihood that lightning would strike a building or piece of land in a particular location. "One could also determine how this likelihood would vary from hour to hour and day to day throughout the year," says Pierce, a physicist. The technique for predicting lightning at a given place and given time involves the use of thunderstorm statistics. Routinely recorded at weather stations, these statistics are converted into lightning estimates. Information analyzed from the statistics, Pierce says, includes lightning activity during a 24-hour period in an area and the proportion of flashes reaching the earth. Based on experiments, he says it is possible to estimate flash incidence for any area of the world over any period of time. For example, there is a one in a million chance of a flash striking a picnic held on a quarter acre lot in North Dakota between 3 and 4 p.m. on July 4. Such information could be of value to a corporate executive who must decide where to install a computer, to a contractor determining construction schedules, or to insurance companies. Further refinements in the technique also allow conversion of accessible thunderstorm data into the incidence of lightning flashes for a building of any given height. A tall building, says Pierce, may actually trigger lightning because electric fields tend to build up rapidly on such a structure. Static electricity would then discharge initially to the clouds rather than from the clouds to the building. - [ ] PIERCE ## What's the chance?

In the current issue of SRI's quarterly, INVESTMENTS IN TOMORROW, Dr. Edward T. Pierce says that the technique permits one to determine the likelihood that lightning would strike a building or a piece of land in a particular location. "One could also determine how this likelihood would vary from hour to hour and day to day throughout the year," says Pierce, a physicist.

For example, there is a one in a million chance of a flash striking a picnic held on a quarter acre lot in North Dakota between 3 and 4 p. m. on July 4. Such information could be of value to a corporate executive who must decide where to install a computer, to a contractor determining construction schedules, or to insurance companies. Further refinements in the technique also allow conversion of accessible thunderstorm data into the incidence of lightning flashes for a building of any given height. A tall building, says Pierce, may actually trigger lightning because electric fields tend to build up rapidly on such a structure. Static electricity would then discharge initially to the clouds rather than from the clouds to the building. A computer on an upper floor of a building would usually be far more vulnerable to lightning damage than one on a lower floor, he notes, because of the greater concentration of current near the point of impact. Memory damage to a computer bank, where vital information is stored and monitored, could spell disaster for record keepers.

Phillips WASHINGTON. President Nixon ought to think about adding a skilled climatologist to his foreign policy staff. The worsening Asian weather--it is getting drier and colder--may destroy his hopes for a "generation of peace" by reducing local food production and setting India, Japan, Russia, and China at each other's throats. My underlying premise is not mere cockaninny speculation. It is drawn from an extraordinarily interesting and useful Fortune magazine article (February 1974) titled "Ominous Changes in the World's Weather." Try these two facts on for size. Fact one: In the first half of this century, the world enjoyed better and warmer weather than at any time in the previous 1,000 years, and this favorable climate--by fattening agriculture production--stimulated world population to double itself. Fact two: Our planet's climate now appears to be moving toward a "Little Ice Age," threatening fisheries and crops and conceivably making it impossible for the world to feed its swollen population. University of Wisconsin Climatologist Reid Bryson, focus of the Fortune study, is a pessimist. If the cooling trend continues, he worries that it will "affect the whole human occupation of the earth--like a billion people starving." Many other experts--but not all--share his concern. Several problems are already apparent. First, cooling northern seas are affecting the fish catch of nations such as Canada and Iceland. Second, Japan's meteorological agency has warned the government to expect increasing long-term coldness and drought. Third, and most important, a long-term drought pattern is shaping up in central and southern Asia. For various reasons, the great monsoons, having shifted south, are now dumping their torrents into the Indian Ocean or tropical areas that already have too much rainfall. India's position is especially dangerous. Since the 1920s, rising rainfall and rising crops have helped double local population. Now recurrent drought threatens mass starvation. In Asia, starvation often means war. The Fortune article hardly touched on the massive political implications of changing Asian climate, but Professor Bryson provided some further elaboration for this column. India: Food and famine are central factors in India's foreign policy. Bryson admits the obvious: "It is entirely logical to say that a nation that has the power but is desperate and has nothing to lose, is a potential source of ferment that could upset the whole world." Even so, he declines to speculate about whether famine may tempt India to invade Iran (where the climate is improving and oil riches could provide the foreign exchange to buy vast quantities of foodstuffs). Instead, Bryson notes that food shortages have made India more docile in the last year or two--a far cry from 1971, when adequate wheat supplies encouraged India to thumb her nose at the U.S. and invade Pakistan. However, if India's crisis deepens, and it probably will, docility is likely to turn to desperation. China: Bryson agrees that "this is the billion-dollar question. China is a monsoon land. It would be inconceivable that the problem showing up in Japan would not be showing up in China. The Chinese are digging wells and emphasizing dams for irrigation in a way that suggests concern for drought prospects." Without committing himself, the professor expressed at least partial agreement with the "Genghis Khan" climate thesis of former Yale geographer Ellsworth Huntington: "Some of the big military movements of Chinese history seem to be related to drought. It's a relationship that often seems to be the case. U.S.-Russian detente: Remember the wheat deal? Bryson believes that wheat shortages may oblige us to buy back from Russia at prices far above those we charged the Russians in 1972, a transaction bound to make an economic mockery of detente (thus further jeopardizing the Asian balance of power). Right now, although National Security Council staffers are aware of worsening Asian climate, expert advice and counsels is not at hand. The White House might do well to sign on such help before Mr. Nixon's "generation of peace" collapses in a new modern round of Asian drought warfare. ## War Looms in Asian Weather Changes === Page 2 of 17 AMERICAN mensa Limited a not-for-profit corporation of new york state / fifty east forty-second street, new york, n.y. 10017 February 21, 1974 please reply to: 340 Brighton Road Norristown, Pa. 19403 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Ted Owens, sometimes called the "PK Man" because of his work in the field of psychokinesis, asked in September 1973, to set up an experiment in which he would attempt to utilize this alleged parapsychological force. This might be considered unusual, since Owens, as a layman, would be working with a scientist in a scientific field of investigation. However, I accepted his proposition because Owens had exhibited noteworthy accuracy in the past with regard to parapsychological observations, predictions and related statements. He proposed to use what he calls "psi-force", i.e., mental force, to cause certain pro football teams to win over other pro football teams, week by week, game by game, play by play. These games would be only those listed in the TV Guide magazine for Owens' locale. Owens would utilize two TV sets simultaneously in order to work two different games. Later, when a third game came on, he would also work that game. He also proposed to try to affect the television power set-up, to knock out the picture on TV, affect the sound, affect the electrical conditions at the stadium where the game was being played, and the like. His goal was to win 75% of the games that he proposed to control with his mind. Throughout the pro football season Owens supplied me, in advance, with the information on what teams he proposed to help win on the coming weekends. After the games had been played, he cut out the newspaper reports, appended these to his advance notifications and submitted them to me, along with pages torn from his TV Guide to assure that he had worked only on the games shown in his location. At the end of the season, after the Super Bowl, Owens had scored 44 wins, 16 losses, and 2 ties giving him the following possible percentages, which vary according to the method used to count the tied games: 44 wins, 16 losses, ties not counted = 73% 44 wins, 16 losses, ties counted as wrong predictions = 71% 44 wins, 16 losses, ties counted as half wins, half ties = 72% Parenthetically, it may be noted that on Sunday, December 16, 1973, TV Guide departed from its usual procedure. The magazine that week listed four alternate games which might be aired. Owens attempted to control the three games actually shown by resorting to what he calls "absent OD mechs" (or "absent PK"). He predicted correctly === Page 3 of 17 2. these three additional games. If included, his percentage of hits would be 74.6% using the top-mentioned-above system of calculations. However, these games departed from the usual format and thus should not be included. Although Owens did not score the 75% he was supposed to score, his scoring was high enough to warrant this document of near confirmation. Had he scored lower than 70%, I would not recognize his experiment at all. It is difficult to know how to interpret these findings. We cannot use typical parapsychological statistics, such as the Zener scale, since the predictions were not based upon chance observations. Rather, Owens did have information about the worth of each of the teams, information which undoubtedly influenced his predictions one way or another. However, it would also not be valid to compare Owens' predictions with those of, say, sports page predictors since Owens at times deliberately picked underdogs in order to attempt to demonstrate his abilities. So his work and intentions should not be called either guesswork or straight predictions, but something in between. At this point, I will simply acknowledge that Owens came very close to a stated goal of 75% despite the fact that he often knowingly picked underdogs. Sincerely, Max R. Fogel Max L.

If you recall...on the program itself you requested that I make it snow instanter...and your colleague wanted heat. All right. The SI's have given their permission. This is not for "funzies"...I will notify the scientists who are observing my work, thus it will be a large-scale demonstration. There are four, huge, giant UFO's circling our earth (on your show, we didn't even scratch the surface of all that could be brought out)...and I am going to utilize them...to reflect heat back onto earth, the bullseye being Dallas, Texas. This will cause freakish weather...and of course, heat. Normal summer heat, coming up, should be amplified tremendously...perhaps to break a record. You will have great storms; lightning attacks, etc. (Built into this...will be the intelligence not to cause death or injury to Texas people...but to show how I, and the UFO entities, can control the weather anyplace in the world. I gave a beautiful demonstration of this...by controlling Cleveland, Ohio...not too long ago...documented with the scientists...and am enclosing a copy of the file. So you may now notify your listeners that I am indeed complying with your request to put on a demonstration of my powers...and the SI powers.

Staylor Chief of Police CJS/emh Norfolk City of Scope === Page 7 of 17 attling Corruption The Virginian-Pilot Sunday, Dec. 9, 1973 # Staylor Career 'Traumatic' By ETHEL STEADMAN Virginian-Pilot Staff Writer NORFOLK -- The nearly 38 years he's spent in law enforcement have been "traumatic" for Norfolk's silver-haired police chief, Claude James Staylor Jr., he said recently, and he's looking forward to retirement in March. "I wouldn't want to go through it again," said Staylor reflectively. "Too often I was alone on my feet" battling corruption. Staylor, who will be 62 March 6, will be forced into retirement by law. He is considered a sure candidate for the City Council in a race next year that will see 4 of the 7 seats filled. "I'm considering it rather strongly," Staylor said "mainly because of the fact that I've gotten encouragement from many segments of the community." And, he added, "I think I can contribute based on my experience in law enforcement and municipal government and based on my philosophy of integrity in government." That's the way Staylor talks, and he does so in modulated, measured tones, rarely stopping to grope for the right word, seldom raising his voice. But what he says is frequently dynamite. He usually heard, one way or another, from City Hall after his publicized speeches during his 6 1/2 years as chief. In two of Staylor's memorable talks during his first few months as chief, he proposed that: * The U.S. Constitution be amended to force suspects in serious crimes to answer the questions of civilian boards that he suggested be set up to interrogate such people. * Norfolk residents who are so inclined should arm themselves for personal protection. "The people are going to have to protect themselves," he said then. "They cannot rely solely on the thin blue line." Both proposals caused an uproar. But, characteristically, Staylor hasn't backed down from either suggestion and has more ideas about how to swing the pendulum of permissiveness in the opposite direction. Recently, the lean, muscled policeman said in an interview: "I wouldn't feel safe walking the streets of this city--or any other major city--in some areas without some protection." Permissiveness, lack of discipline, and an alarming decline in fear of punishment, which increasingly is neither swift nor severe, are the enemies in the fight against crime, Staylor emphasizes. More men and equipment are needed crime-fighting aids, he believes, but the answer lies elsewhere, beyond what police are able to control. His job often has been frustrating, too, Staylor said, because of the opposition he's encountered in his determination to stay aloof from politics so long as he wears the blue uniform and in his commitment to honesty. "I find resistance from a number of quarters," Staylor said. "When I came into law enforcement, I had no idea of the extent of dishonesty and corruption," the chief added. "Most of my career has been spent combatting corruption, which has made many enemies." Since he joined the Norfolk force May 14, 1936, Staylor said he has been "continually fighting the odds and failing to get support" from higher city officials. Once known as the "boy wonder" of the police division, "Bubber" Staylor rose from rookie to deputy chief in 13 years, a feat unprecedented and not equalled since. But his meteoric rise stalled at the deputy's level and Staylor went about his duties for 18 years before being named chief April 13, 1967. Twice, when Staylor's name was mentioned for the top job, he withdrew from consideration. The third time, in 1956, Staylor said he would accept under certain conditions. One of those was "whether or not I would have sufficient support to carry out the job I think should be done." ![Chief Staylor] Chief Staylor === Page 8 of 17 February 12, 1974 TO MY SCIENTISTS.......... I think this file will jolt you. It should. Further, it points out...the priceless importance...of the documentation I have been doing...through the years! Attached hereto...are three confirmed, signed affidavits...from three different sources...stating that I, PK Man, stated I would cause lightning to strike in a certain small area...and that I was successful in each case, within minutes! Charles Jay...is a brilliant man. Paints in oils. Lives just outside Philadelphia. Sidney Margulies...is a partner in the law firm (well-known in Philadelphia) of Cohen-Shapiro, Berger and Cohen, in the PSFS Building, in Philadelphia. He is not only a lawyer...but has a CPA degree. Such a man...does not give statements lightly. Frank Taylor, and Niki Dyer...are court reporters...highly intelligent people, and responsible persons...who were present, along with Mrs. Waddell... when I caused lightning to strike the Apollo 12 moon rocket, notifying them in advance of my purpose. Also attached...is a statement from Dr. Edward T. Pierce, a physicist, to the effect that the odds are a million to one that lightning would strike within a small area (within minutes). Now, I put it to you...since I have done this at least three times, on record...solidly documented (have done it other times, with other people, but did not bother to get an affidavit at the time)...THEN WHAT ARE THE ODDS AGAINST THAT? I.e., my causing lightning to strike a certain target within a small area within minutes? Three million to one? (Am not a mathematician...so you'll have to figure it out...could be greater than that.) Thus...you can easily see...that I am truly a creator of miracles. And can solidly prove it, in the way that I have. Most ingeniously, too. And bear in mind...that a skeptic could not argue that I had "hypnotized: one person into believing such a thing had happened. No indeed! I caused it to happen, as you can see, with five different persons in various geographical locations! That fact...will put down any skeptic. Also...prominent attorneys and court-reporters...are not accustomed to signing false affidavits! (Mr. Jay would not, either...but you'd have no way of knowing that.) This file...is an accurate file. Tell me...do you know of any other psychics now, or in history...who have called down lightning onto specific targets, within a small area, within minutes? Forget it. There aren't any, and never have been. Just this psychic...PK Man. Owens === Page 9 of 17 # Theory estimates lightning strikes Lightning may never strike twice in the same place, so goes the saying, but Staff Scientist Edward Pierce has developed a technique to estimate when and where it will strike first. Dr. Pierce says that the method permits one to determine the likelihood that lightning would strike a building or piece of land in a particular location. "One could also determine how this likelihood would vary from hour to hour and day to day throughout the year," says Pierce, a physicist. The technique for predicting lightning at a given place and given time involves the use of thunderstorm statistics. Routinely recorded at weather stations, these statistics are converted into lightning estimates. Information analyzed from the statistics, Pierce says, includes lightning activity during a 24-hour period in an area and the proportion of flashes reaching the earth. Based on experiments, he says it is possible to estimate flash incidence for any area of the world over any period of time. For example, there is a one in a million chance of a flash striking a picnic held on a quarter acre lot in North Dakota between 3 and 4 p.m. on July 4. Such information could be of value to a corporate executive who must decide where to install a computer, to a contractor determining construction schedules, or to insurance companies. Further refinements in the technique also allow conversion of accessible thunderstorm data into the incidence of lightning flashes for a building of any given height. A tall building, says Pierce, may actually trigger lightning because electric fields tend to build up rapidly on such a structure. Static electricity would then discharge initially to the clouds rather than from the clouds to the building. - [ ] PIERCE # What's the chance?

Static electricity would then discharge initially to the clouds rather than from the clouds to the building. A computer on an upper floor of a building would usually be far more vulnerable to lightning damage than one on a lower floor, he notes, because of the greater concentration of current near the point of impact. Memory damage to a computer bank, where vital information is stored and monitored, could spell disaster for record keepers.

Owens (Ted) from the top of a tall building in downtown Philadelphia...Mr. Owens offered to make lightning strike in any area that I might point out, as a demonstration of a new weather principle he had discovered. So I took him up on it, and pointed to an area squarely in front of our window...the bridge leading to Camden. In a few moments after Mr. Owens concentrated on making lightning strike the aforementioned bridge...a lightning bolt did in fact strike that area, just to the right of the bridge. Since we were standing at the top of a tall building, our field of view was very wide and expansive. Therefore the lighting bolt striking the pinpointed area which I had designated, was interesting.

This is a result of space agency studies after Apollo 12's launching into heavy rain clouds generated two lightning bolts and a temporary electrical shutdown in the spacecraft. NASA Studies Lightning Peril WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 (UPI). -- The Environmental Science Services Administration said Monday its research laboratories in Boulder, Colo., are studying lightning hazards to rockets. The work is being done for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and is "part of an effort to develop a lightning-warning system and techniques for lightning suppression." An electrical discharge of some sort occurred 36.5 seconds after liftoff of the Apollo 12 moon rocket last November but did no lasting harm. Friday, November 14, 1969 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN This morning, before the Apollo spaceship was ignited or had left the ground at Cape Kennedy...Ted Owens informed us that UFO intelligences were angry at NASA and the U.S. Government for not enabling him to stay in Miami, Florida...which was the special wish of the UFO intelligences...and also for not allowing the UFO intelligences to have a landing base for their craft at Cape Kennedy -- and because the UFO intelligences were angry, they would try to stop this Apollo moonshot from being successful; make it a failure. Owens stated that it was his personal wish, in his communication with these UFO intelligences...that if they were going to strike at the Apollo spaceship, that it would be while it was on the ground, or just lifting off the ground...so that the astronauts would be able to escape safely. He stated that he felt this was going to happen...something would go wrong on takeoff of the craft, and the men would escape. He also told us then that back in 1964, 1965, he had written to NASA and informed them that he could make lightning strike the lightning-proof pads at Cape Kennedy...and that, following his letters to NASA, lightning had actually struck those pads at Cape Kennedy. Then the Apollo spaceship was ignited, and began takeoff. And the radio said it was then struck by lightning...and the men inside the craft said many warning lights lit up inside the craft. The alleged lightning also caused various malfunctions of the craft, according to the radio. But the men did not try to escape, and NASA ordered them to go ahead to the moon. Owens said that the Si's had done their best to abort the flight while on or near the ground...by striking the craft with lightning...as they had done the pads several years before. And that this had been a severe warning to NASA but that NASA had ignored it. Owens stated that he was therefore positive that the UFO intelligences would further strike at the Apollo spaceship, now on its way to the moon, and cause the flight to be a failure. We'll wait and see. But Owens did talk about lightning attacking, before the actual liftoff; we attest to that. Then the spacecraft was struck by lightning. Frank G. Taylor - COURT REPORTER Pattie N. Waddell - SECRETARY Niki Dyer - COURT REPORTER at Plaza One Building, 4th Floor, Norfolk, Virginia. === Page 14 of 17 August 12, 1967 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Several weeks ago I took my friend, Kenneth Batch over to Philadelphia to visit Ted Owens. It was a rainy day, and we had heard of Ted Owens's ability to make lightning strike by his signalling UFO intelligences to do it...so we asked Ted Owens to give us a demonstration of his so-called power to communicate with UFO intelligences by having them make lightning strike in given areas we would designate. The three of us went out onto a balcony outside Ted Owens's apartment...and my friend and I asked Ted Owens to have lightning strike at or near the top of the City Hall. In the ensuing period of time there were three massive strokes of lightning which struck at intervals in that exact direction. And those were the only three bolts that struck in the entire sky..just where Ted Owens pointed his hand. To test this, we then asked Ted Owens to make lightning strike in an entirely different portion of the sky. He pointed his hand...and the lightning appeared in that different area, exactly where we had asked it to appear. No other bolts appeared anywhere in the sky at any time during our experiments, except exactly where Ted Owens pointed his hand. My friend and I were in complete agreement that the experiment was a complete success.

It was Sunday Afternoon approx 2 pm. I was taking pictures of cloud formations from my Hotel window. I am a traveling musician and I am presently engaged here in Williamsburg. I had no idea of what I had taken until I developed the film Sunday night. When I saw what I thought was a U.F.O. I immediately went to a local photographer who runs a photo store here in Williamsburg, from whom I buy my supplies. He examined the negative & confirmed my surprise, he brought it to N.A.S.A. Langley H.F. & their findings confirmed the picture. The facts surrounding the picture are equally astounding. The picture was taken with TRI-X High speed film on A.S.A. 400 shutter speed of 1/1000 sec with an orange filter to enhance cloud contrast. We found out the cloud were approx 1 mile high & Broken. The two theorys are that it rose on a 45° angle & sort of blurred the photo & estimated speed of 6,000 M.P.H. the other theory is it rose made a 90° turn a sped away with an estimated speed of 14,000 M.P.H. the startling fact that no sonic Boom was heard === Page 4 of 4 I sincerely hope this information may help, enclosed you will find a reproduction of the original negative.

Text Any textual data included in the document === Page 1 of 12 March 20, 1974..........TO MY SCIENTISTS COPY (1) I hope that you were sufficiently impressed..........with my recent file to you, complete with photo of UFO, taken at Williamsburg, Virginia. As you know, I am CAUSING UFO'S to appear in a certain area of Virginia and make their presence known. The first happening was the giant UFO that appeared over the head of a policeman in Chase City, and stayed there for 15 minutes. Staying there that long was, of course, unusual for a UFO..........but it wanted to make sure that the message was clear..........that I had communicated with it and requested the happening, and it was delivering. The second happening was the man who took some shots of the sky, evidently on "impulse", with his camera..........and when the photos were developed he had a beautiful photo of a UFO. Of course I know that he was "compelled" to take out his camera and photo the sky, in that particular place, at that particular time..........so that the UFO'S I had communicated with could deliver yet another message. If you do not agree..........then consider the odds against anyone pointing a camera up at the clouds and walking away with a perfectly beautiful photo of a UFO in flight! (2) Now to predictions on my part. Last week my UFO'S communicated with me and informed me that they had picked up some interesting information..........which was that the higher-ups who had maneuvered Nixon into office had secretly decided last week to have Nixon murdered..........trying to make it look like an accident; plane crash, heart attack, etc., instead of an out-and-out shooting assassination. They have also decided not to allow Vice President Ford to take over as President and continue. But they have not as yet decided on his disposition. These mysterious higher-ups have a new man ready that they intend to insert into the Presidency. The SI's told me that President Nixon would not live past 1976. The higher-ups will see to it..........whether Nixon resigns or is impeached or not. Owens (PK Man) === Page 2 of 12 TO THE SCIENTISTS..........MARCH 11, 1974 Half an hour after I called the Norfolk FBI, last Friday (see attached) I got a long-distance call. Picked up the receiver and a woman said Ted Owens? I said yes...she asked if I would accept the call. I said "from whom?" and a voice said tell him it's the Men In Black. I said hell no, you jerk... come here and tell me what you want bottell me. The man said to the operator "ask him if he doesn't want to talk to the Men In Black". I hung up on him. (Note: in the ten years I have been associated with the UFO intelligences...this is the first direct contact, to my knowledge, I have had with the MIB's.) Next day, on Saturday...I received two mysterious long-distance calls...from Altoona, Pennsylvania...which I suspect were from the same parties...two men involved in the calls...first call the operator was a woman; second call the operator was a man...and sounded like he was in the room with me. They did not really identify...and I told them the calls were "phoney". Something is really up...but it is strange that these calls immediately followed my call to the FBI. Owens === Page 3 of 12 Dr. Sprinkle March 8, 1974 COPY Head of the FBI...San Francisco, California First, let me present my "credentials". Enclosed find several documents self-explanatory. Am a member of Mensa (high-IQ society...upper 2% in the world). Am one of America's greatest psychics. And have documented some rather miraculous projects with affidavits from one of America's prominent scientists (see attached). Actually, four of America's prominent scientists are observing my work...Dr. Max Fogel; Dr. Allen Hynek; Dr. Leo Sprinkle, Dr. Russell Targ (from your area...Stanford Research Institute). All of these top men solicited my collaboration with them. So much for background. Oh, yes...and Chief Staylor, of the Norfolk Police, is a friend of mine and is familiar with my background. Just mention this...from a police standpoint. Now, down to business. I am positive...certain...that I can obtain results for you...in apprehending the SLA members in Frisco. And possibly get back Patricia Hearst (or what might be left of her). I phoned in this plan today to the Norfolk FBI...but bureaucracy being what it is...will play it safe by writing you directly. Plan...recently I appeared on the Larry Angel Television Show in Baltimore (cassette tape enclosed) for one hour. They flew me up there. In the past few weeks have done four radio shows, from phone hook-up, from my home in Cape Charles...one the Ed Busch Show, W/FAA, Dallas, Texas, for two hours (tape enclosed); another a Chicago station, Doug Dahlgren, WCIC; then a Phoenix radio show; and a Miami radio show. So...I have rock-solid credentials as a top psychic...I can hold an audience for an hour on a television show. I take a plane to San Francisco. You have arranged for me to appear on some of the prominent Frisco television shows...with advance publicity. Okay. On the shows themselves I discuss UFO's, ESP, and the Hearst kidnapping. My credentials are powerful and impeccable re my work as a foremost psychic. This is first brought out. Then I go into the kidnapping...and announce that I am there...to go over maps and pick up impressions about the individuals of the SLA group. (I warned President Johnson of a plan re an ex-pilot planning to fly into the White House with a load of explosives...he sent over some Secret Service men...I gave them the details of the man's home, his habits, etc...and they caught him! This is documented. Then, I went on TV in Miami and warned Pres. Nixon of a Cuban plot to kidnap him...using scuba divers around his Key Biscayne home...and three weeks later the Secret Service actually caught the Cuban scuba divers near Nixon's home! This is thoroughly documented. I make it clear...that I am there for a week or two to give the FBI priceless information...re the SLA group. But get this...I will then ridicule the SLA...call them a bunch of hick kid farmers...just a bunch of yellow, gutless wonders...nothings, really...who couldn't carry out a plot against their own grandmother. The host will ask me if I am not frightened to make such a statement...and I'll answer: "Scared of those SLA jerks? These nutty kids who wouldn't know their you-know-what from a hole in the ground? Ha ha ha!" In short...I will infuriate the SLA. At this stage they cannot stand such ridicule...for they are at a beginning point...and need to make examples...and Patricia Hearst is such a first example. All right...they should take me on...try to "hit" me...to make me an example and show the public they mean business...that they are dangerous. I will act as bait, you see. Staked out at a semi-isolated motel in the suburbs of Frisco...on the waterfront. After needling the SLA re above, I know positively they will come after me. Of course, you will have me under surveillance (and you will allow me to bring my Walther PPK .380 out with me to protect myself in case they get past you.) I am positive, for a certainty...that if I carry this out...in the way I have in mind...we can draw the SLA out into the open in a move against me...if I am obnoxious enough against them, and I will be...on the television shows and in the papers. Well, am trying to save the young girl, if she is still alive. Owen === Page 4 of 12 March 13, 1974 TO MY SCIENTISTS This letter from Chief Staylor, and my note of explanation...might seem to be irrelevant to the miracles that I do...but I believe it to be quite relevant. First, when I came to Norfolk some years ago...I saw a photo of Chief Staylor in the paper...and I could "read" him clear back to Wild West days...as a Texas Ranger and top gunfighter. That is...I could see that he was all man and a yard wide...tough, uncompromising, honest...and if there is anything to reincarnation, then I had him figured. But I wanted to test my theory...so I wrote him a letter...explained that I could come to his office, he and his men could check me for hidden weapons...yet I would pull a .38 on him. He wrote back and said come ahead. So I went up to the Police Building to his office. You see, Norfolk is a huge place...hundreds of policemen...and Chief Staylor was in charge of the whole kit and caboodle. I went past his female secretary (a member of Mensa, like myself...and she looked at me "with a jaundiced eye" as P. G. Wodehouse used to say in his books) into his office and found him alone. I showed him that I had no weapons...then suddenly I had a .38. He was astounded, and asked if he could call in his two Lieutenants for me to show them, also. So I repeated for the Lieutenants...and my friendship was begun with Chief Staylor. At that point in time...he was famous in the South for his police results in the Norfolk area..and for not taking bribes or being able to be bought by the crooks, whom he fought tooth and toenail. But I had not yet developed as a top psychic...the Saga articles had not yet emerged, nor had my work been described in hard-cover books as yet. But it was strange...Chief Staylor and I could just look at each other, and shake hands with our eyes. I am positive...that he and I were friends and knew each other quite well...in the old Cowboy and Indian days, back there somewhere. Since a child I have had dim memories of having lived in those days and been a top gunfighter myself, way back then. Anyway...time for the Chief's retirement from the police force came up, and I was astounded to get an invitation from the police who are his friends, to attend his Retirement Banquet. Those that would be there would be judges, detectives, top police officers, and so forth. And one psychic, me. Well, when I went to the Banquet...the Chief himself showed me to a table and a set beside a close friend of his. I reckon there would have been about 20 people at a table; perhaps 10 tables altogether. The MC, an attorney, then began to cut up and sing songs...before introducing Chief Staylor...and it made me very angry at the MC. I pointed my finger at him, to get him out of the way and finished, in some manner...and his microphone went out. He then excused himself and walked over to a second microphone, an excellent one...I pointed my finger, and it began to sputter and go off and on. The crowd began to laugh and call out to him, "Hey, Dekker, maybe that mike is trying to tell you something." Well, I sure was, with my mind. Finally, the Chief gave his farewell speech, after which he pointed out into the ...said hello to Lieutenant Governor Howell, of Virginia; and hello to other of his old friends who had risen through the ranks with him. Then he said, "Now, ladies and gentlemen, I want you to meet a good friend of mine, Ted Owens. Stand up, Ted." I was flabbergasted, but stood up. The Chief said, "Ted is from Cape Charles, and his field is extrasensory perception...and he's one of the best in America, maybe the world...and it's an honor to have him here tonight." There've been just a half-dozen high points in my life, but this was one of them, and one of the best.

Your coming over from the Eastern Shore to attend the event meant a great deal to me. You are one of the most interesting and talented individuals I have ever met and I value your friendship. Although I am leaving the police service, I hope that our friendship will continue and our paths will cross in the future. I extend best wishes to you for future health and happiness.

As you know, I am CAUSING UFO's to appear in a certain area of Virginia and make their presence known. The first happening was the giant UFO that appeared over the head of a policeman in Chase City, and stayed there for 15 minutes. Staying there that long was, of course, unusual for a UFO...but it wanted to make sure that the message was clear...that I had communicated with it and requested the happening, and it was delivering. The second happening was the man who took some shots of the sky, evidently on "impulse", with his camera...and when the photos were developed he had a beautiful photo of a UFO. Of course I know that he was "compelled" to take out his camera and photo the sky, in that particular place, at that particular time...so that the UFO's I had communicated with could deliver yet another message. If you do not agree...then consider the odds against anyone pointing a camera up at the clouds and walking away with a perfectly beautiful photo of a UFO in flight! (2) Now to predictions on my part. Last week my UFO's communicated with me and informed me that they had picked up some interesting information...which was that the higher-ups who had maneuvered Nixon into office had secretly decided last week to have Nixon murdered...trying to make it look like an accident; plane crash, heart attack, etc., instead of an out-and-out shooting assassination. They have also decided not to allow Vice President Ford to take over as President and continue. But they have not as yet decided on his disposition. These mysterious higher-ups have a new man ready that they intend to insert into the Presidency. The SI's told me that President Nixon would not live past 1976. The higher-ups will see to it...whether Nixon resigns or is impeached or not.

Owens PK Man Dr Sprinkle === Page 8 of 12 LARRY BONKO "The Symbionese Liberation Army said it is holding Patricia Hearst as a 'prisoner of war.'" -News Item TED OWENS OF CAPE CHARLES, the round man who describes himself as one of the greatest psychics in the world, says he knows where Patricia Hearst is. How does he know? "Impressions," said Owens. Eleven days ago, Owens sent a long letter to Patricia Hearst's parents in San Francisco. He wrote, "Your daughter is being held on a boat south of San Francisco. However, the BGs (Bad Guys) have two other locations where they hide her. They move her from location to location every two days." If the Hearsts invite him, Owens will drop everything, fly west and use his talents (PK Power, he calls it) to assist in the search for Miss Hearst. The Hearsts' 20-year-old daughter was kidnapped more than three weeks ago by members of the Symbionese Liberation Army. ### Letter and telegram In that letter of Feb. 13 and a telegram, which he sent two days earlier, Owens urged the Hearsts to turn to people who are good at psychometry. That is the ability to touch things (toys, clothing, jewelry etc.) and divine facts about the people who own these things. (In Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Mrs. Joanne Tomchick was reunited with her two daughters earlier this week with the help of a psychic who used psychometry). Said Owens, "I'd like to see a team of top psychics including Peter Hurkos, Jeane Dixon, myself and others assemble in San Francisco to get impressions. "And if these impressions and predictions were coordinated by the police and FBI, it would give the Hearsts information they would not get otherwise." The Hearst family has not replied to Owens. Owens claims to be half man, half space Intelligence. According to Owens, his abilities in psychokinesis (mind over matter) and extrasensory perception are the blessings of creatures from the cosmos. He has a pretty good record in predicting storms, earthquakes, pro football upsets, collisions of ships at sea and, once in a while, an assassination. "I'm the greatest" he insists, puffing on a cigar. "I have been picking up things from the Symbionese minds. When I read minds, distance and time are no barriers at all." ### Moving around Filling in details of Miss Hearst's captivity, Owens told me "The second location where she is being held is east of the boat I mentioned. Inland. It's a ranch or farm. There are chickens, livestock. From there, she is moved to San Francisco. To Chinatown. To a basement-type place in a rundown area. They have been using a laundry truck to transport her. "It's a triangular pattern of movement from boat to farm and then up to the San Francisco location. The main man holding her is a foreigner from the Mideast, I believe. In the past he has been connected with airports and murders. Plane hijackings." Owens' vibrations tell him that the Hearst girl is in great danger. "The main man would like to murder her so that the next targets of his kidnaping would be genuinely terrified. But another man in the army has a plan to smuggle the girl out of the U.S. by boat, down the coast to Central America. Maybe Costa Rica. "My impression of the Symbionese leader is that he is short, about 5-5, has a dusky complexion, has a moustache, has a high IQ, is fanatical, trained in guerrilla warfare, arms handling and assassination." Owens said there is no connection between the Hearst kidnaping and the abduction of an editor in Atlanta last week. Although he is 3,000 miles away from the kidnappers of Miss Hearst, Owens says he is receiving the thoughts of the Symbionese loud and clear. "They plan to hijack a half dozen airliners at once. They will use no weapons. Their plan is to kidnap the president of six major airlines and their families and order these men to turn over planes to the Symbionese Army." ### Bad vibrations Owens did not say what the terrorists plan to do with the six airliners. Is Patricia Hearst alive? Owens hesitated and said, "Even for a psychic like me, it is hard to tell now. She has been in great, great danger. I feel like, well, I feel like the cutthroats have the edge in that army. She is scared witless. She is in poor shape." This is one time when Owens, who has been proclaimed a super psychic by Saga Magazines and other publications, hopes he is all wrong. If the Hearsts want him, Owens is near his phone over there on Eastern Shore, puffing away on a cigar and practicing psychokinesis and other things. RICHMOND (AP)--A Virginia House of Delegates Committee today approved and sent to the House for full debate a bill to raise the state's top level from $70 to $87 a week. The House Labor and Commerce Committee approved the bill after representatives of the Virginia Manufacturers Association and the Virginia AFL-CIO voiced their support. The two organizations, reflecting management and other labor, agree so seldom that Julian S. Carper, president of the Virginia AFL-CIO, told the committee, "This is the second time this session the Virginia Manufacturers Association and the AFL-CIO have been in wholehearted agreement." Committee member Richard M. Bagley, D-Hampton, could not resist smiling as he said, "In that case, God save the Commonwealth." The committee also approved a bill sponsored by Sen. L. S. Bendheim, D-Alexandria, that would ease the way for localities who find themselves taking over private transit companies to get federal funds. Bendheim said the bill simply spells out rights of employees the private company when a locality takes over operations. This is necessary, Bendheim said, for the local governing bodies to qualify for funds available under the federal Urban Mass Transportation Act. It does not bind localities to terms of labor contracts already in force, Bendheim responded when Del. Stanley A. Bryan, D-Chesapeake, asked. ### Three survive, 39 men missing in tug sinking VERACRUZ, Mexico (AP) -- Four bodies have been recovered and 39 men are missing following the sinking of a Mexican navy tug in the Gulf of Mexico Monday, officials said today. Navy officials said only three survivors were pulled from the waters 60 miles off Veracruz. Boats, planes and helicopters were searching for survivors' bodies. Authorities said many of the missing crewmen may have reached the coast on the tug's two liferafts and not been found because of the mountainous terrain. === Page 9 of 12 March 15, 1974 TO ALL CONTACTS Today the SI's communicated with me...and told me that The Organization, who had put Nixon into office...had voted to kill Nixon...eliminate him before the 1976 elections. (Also Kissinger will be eliminated.) This, I gather, is the group of billionaires, or multi-millionaires, world-wide, who are pulling the strings on their puppets...and who can hire anybody, anywhere...to get something done that they wish. As I understood the SI communication...they had ordered Nixon to resign and step down, or like that...and he will not. Therefore, as far as they are concerned, he has to go...like John and Robert Kennedy. But this time it will not be a shooting...they want it to look accidental...like cancer, or some fatal illness. Like Jack Ruby. Also...The SI's told me that The Organization does not want G.R. Ford to be President, because they have a special, hand-picked man they want to get into that world-shaking spot. How, what they plan to do about Ford I do not know. The SI's told me...that this decision had just been made this week! And the SI's are seldom, if ever, wrong.

But the program did not appear anywhere on any channel at 6. I waited until 11:30 news...but nothing. Next day I checked the Norfolk newspapers and the Richmond newspaper. Nothing at all on the important event. How was I to document it? Of course, such a happening would have the utmost importance to Project Alien results...because in my communications to the UFO's I had asked them to let themselves be seen by humans within the target area, and here, somehow, they'd managed to set up a photo for humans. So I wrote Channel 13 TV in Norfolk, asking them to confirm they'd had the program on. They would not answer me. I realized that The Organization had clamped a lid on the target area... if anything did show up in the way of UFO phenomena...they'd manage to hide it, a la Watergate coverup. (Guess as soon as they spotted the brief TV reporting, they went into action quickly and muffled it.) So I called the Virginia Gazette newspaper in Williamsburg and got their address...then wrote to them for newspapers covering the entire week, hoping to get a newsclip for documentation. I told them why. (The papers came later...but nothing in them whatever about the event, which happened right there and was important enough to be shown here on TV!) They gave me a clue as to where the man could be found who took the photo of the UFO. Now, Jim Johnson, who works at Colonial Store here, manager of the meat department, had seen that same TV spot...and asked me about it...so in an effort to try and get some kind of documentation I asked Jim to give me an affidavit on it. Also, I wrote to The Man Who Saw The UFO...at the address given me by the Williamsburg newspaper, on February 22.

You were sent the documentation on that...complete with newsclip. Then...on February 14 I turned on our TV and caught the last two minutes of a news telecast...a TV reporter interviewing a man in Williamsburg who had accidentally taken a photo of a UFO there (it was displayed on TV). I dialed to the other news channels for the 6 o'clock news to learn more of this...because it was most important...Williamsburg is inside the target area.

Sorry about that...but the SI's promised amplified heat, you know (see the original letter); and they promised a "major demonstration." Texas, it seems...is certainly getting one! And, in variety.

Owens === Page 2 of 27 FROM THE DESK OF Mr. Ted Owens (PK MAN)---------- Box 48 Capa Charles, Virginia 23310 April 20, 1974 Mr. Randolph Hearst, Hillsborough, California Have written you before, but you have not even acknowledged. Am one of the world's greatest psychics...also a member of Mensa...so am qualified to give you some functional ideas that could work to bring your daughter home safely. Have the following message placed all over San Francisco just as the circus puts up posters...also feed it to all of the newspapers: "A LIFE FOR A LIFE"...I, Randolph Hearst, father of Patricia Hearst...will do the following for anyone...who will bring my daughter Patricia back safely to me. I will set you up for life...you will need for nothing. All living expenses will be paid, and a home (house) purchased for you. It need not be in the United States; it can be anywhere in the world...and I will personally pay for your living expenses, necessities, for the rest of your life. This, in return for my daughter's life. A fair trade. But more: anyone "turning in" a member of the SLA so that the member is captured by the authorities... will be paid $10,000.00 (or 25,000) in immediate cash! Simply call the FBI, say you are "The Owl" and give details on how the member, or members, can be found...and as soon as they are captured call the FBI again and tell them where you want the money delivered; the reward. And you will have it within 24 hours. And no one will have your identity. You will not be touched by the FBI or any of the authorities. You will be free to be happy with all the money. Signed, William Randolph Hearst." Try it, Mr. Hearst...this worked in a grand manner back in the Wild West days with reward posters. It still will today. There are some weak members of the SLA who will "bite". I feel it in my bones. Owens I think the gentleman paid attention. Ted 5/13/74 my letter to Hearst Reward (NY Times) After three months of fruitless negotiation with the kidnappers, Randolph Hearst has now offered a $50,000 reward for the safe return of his daughter Patricia. "We've tried everything," Mr. Hearst said, referring to a million-dollar food giveaway demanded by the kidnappers, the self-styled Symbionese Liberation Army, "and our daughter still isn't back. Hopefully this will bring out some concerned citizen." The investigation into the kidnapping appeared to be making no headway. "We are stumped," said F.B.I. Director Clarence M. Kelley last week. === Page 3 of 27 April 15, 1974 TO MY SCIENTISTS The SI's...UFO entities...gave me information yesterday, that had puzzled me for long years. First, a bit of background is necessary. In 1956 a UFO came down near our car, and my daughter and I lost an hour of time (near Dallas, Texas)...following which I began to get tremendous ideas with regard to helping and healing people...which I put down into a book, which grew into quite a large book. Techniques to use most certainly not available anywhere else on earth. (Dr. Zakow, astrophysicist, told me that this book was much more impressive to him even than my miracles, some years later.) At any rate, it became quite evident, as time passed, that the ideas were given me by the SI's. Using the techniques, I saved lives for people who were otherwise given up for dead by the medical profession; also did many other astounding things with the ideas. In Fort Worth, Texas, for years...I trained pupils with the Idea Book...first teaching them auto-hypnosis, then combining hetero-hyp with the auto-hyp to build in the techniques given to me by the UFO entities. Here in Cape Charles I have trained some pupils...one man flew from Holland. Another from Italy. Another from Canada. Another flew here from Thailand. A husband and wife flew here from California. And so on. All to be trained by my special, UFO, methods. Only yesterday, however, did the UFO's communicate with me...and explain what it was all about (before, all that I knew was that it gave my pupil a "superbrain"...) They told me...that this system I teach...utilizing methods taught to me by them, the UFO's...would raise the frequency of my pupil (besides giving them a Superbrain). They explained to me...that as I had moved up the Psychic Spectrum (which I explained to you not long ago) that my frequency had also raised, correspondingly. And that as my brain had been, and is, increasing its power, exponentially...that my frequency also was changing. Now...when the UFO's find a promising person somewhere out there in the United States (or out in Europe, or wherever)...they guide that person to me, so that by using the system the UFO's had taught me...I can change that person's frequency. The purpose is...so that if mankind has a nuclear war, the SI's can somehow (I do not know how) preserve these high-frequencied persons to restock the Earth. The UFO's explained to me...that they are at present busy changing the Earth's frequency to a higher level...so that they can sort out those humans they wish to survive, and use to restock the Earth. Also, those humans who have the potential which the SI's value...but not the high frequency...they are trying to get to me...so that I can raise the frequency of that person to a satisfactory level. (These, of course, are superior, key, people to the SI's.) My UFO system...consists of teaching my Pupil autohypnosis first...then to go into the UFO methods of training...which, as I have said, are unique. And since some of the techniques are silent and invisible that I use, to my Pupil...my system cannot be duplicated by other humans (due to my half-SI brain.) Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens PS...the UFO's use the red SI discs to spot and locate key people who can be valuable to them, and "send" them to me to be trained. === Page 4 of 27 April 19, 1974 TO THE SCIENTISTS..... Again, this is not a letter based on fact or documentation. Rather, it is intelligence based upon my own experience and knowledge. At this late date...I saw some pictures of humanoids (as described by witnesses who had seen them emerging from "flying saucers"). They had wide cheekbones, large eyes, sharply pointed faces, with pointed chins. Now, while in Las Vegas, and winning heavily at roulette for a client...I noticed a tiny man seated at an empty table about 20 feet away. His eyes were glued on me, and what I was doing. And he had precisely, absolutely the same face as the pictures in the magazine of the "UFO occupants." He had gray hair; was neatly dressed in a suit, but with shirt collar open; his head was smaller proportionately than it should have been, seemed to me, compared with his body; he had wide cheek bones, large eyes, and his face came to a peculiar point, and he had a sharply pointed chin. He held a notepad and, as he watched me intently, he made notes on the notepad. Several hours later I was at the Greyhound Bus station, waiting an hour for my bus. I noticed that the little man with the pointed face, the same man, was standing beside the door leading outside to the buses, and was watching every move that I made. Bear in mind...the night before, Las Vegas thugs had tried to get me...had doped my drink...then had tried to fast-talk me into taking their taxi. Now, another man was also watching me, but close-by...he would keep running over to a nearby public phone and make calls, then return to his position. I assumed that the two were working together, as Vegas hoods, making sure that I was leaving town. (Remember that the one big fear Vegas hoods who own casinos have...is a major psychic coming to town and cleaning up.) When my bus was ready to go, I picked up my bag and walked through the door out to my bus. The little man with the pointed chin had moved out ahead of me, and stood alone near the bus...eyes still glued on me. He watched me get onto the bus, I took a seat and looked out, and he still stood there beside the bus, looking toward me in my seat. Now, I am convinced that the little man with the pointed face and chin...was not a Las Vegas hood at all, since he was a twin for these UFO occupant pictures...but a SI, possibly there to protect me from the Vegas hoods. Years ago in Philadelphia, a strange lady called Zelda asked me to meet her after office hours at a certain bar. I went there and we sat and chatted. She was a member of an organization studying psychic phenomena, so this was not an unusual thing. Suddenly the waiter brought half a dozen drinks to our table...said a dark-skinned man at the bar had bought them for us. Then he walked over to our table and sat down. I was stunned. He wasn't negro, yet he was dusky skinned. Zelda seemed to know him...and they talked with great rapidity...so fast I couldn't even follow what they were saying...and although the conversation I could make out seemed a normal pattern, albeit at high speed, I thought it must have been a code of some sort at the time. Then I got my big shock...the man had six fingers on each hand! His voice was musical...like a person from Jamaica...and he wanted to take me to a nearby "gymnasium". I politely declined, left and went home. Ted Owens.

Ref to Dr Max Fogel, 340 Brighton Road, Norristown, Pa. Ted (Research Scientist for Mensa) === Page 6 of 27 FROM THE DESK OF Mr. Ted Owens (PK MAN) Signed, Owens Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 April 15, 1974 Dear Dr. Targ: with my mind. $600 month from September thru January. You have received my file...showing an affidavit from Dr. Max Fogel...re an experiment utilizing other-dimensional (PK) powers to control pro football teams last season, I did fairly well...although not as good a performance as I usually give. The reason for this letter...if you can find a financial backer...to subsidize me this coming pro football season...I will spend the entire winter repeating the experiment for you and the backer. As far as I know no other psychic has ever attempted such an experiment...let alone produced what I consider significant results with such an experiment. It drains me of energy all week long...after a Sunday and Monday of expending psychic energy minute by minute, play by play, for some nine hours of solid OD (other-dimensional...various mechanisms, of which psychokinesis is one) work. This nine hours encompasses two games on Sunday afternoon, and one the following Monday night, NFL. Games taken from my local TV Guide. Complete documentation on it, including notifying you in advance in writing the teams I am going to control with my mind. It is my belief that this season I could attain 80% to 90% accuracy. I would devote my full time and energy this coming season on this experiment...thus it would be necessary to have financial backing so that I would not have to dilute my mental power by trying to eke out a living whilst doing the experiment, which was the case last season...and which hurt my accuracy last season...because winter here is the most expensive time of the year (oil, an added $100 a month) and it was necessary for me to devote most of my time and energy last season to scramble to hold up my family financially...whilst doing the experiment for Dr. Fogel. Ted Owens (PK Man) === Page 7 of 27 The Virginian-Pilot MORNING AND SUNDAY ESTABLISHED 1865 ••• NORFOLK AND PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA TELEPHONE MADISON 5-1431 NORFOLK, VIRGINIA 23501 24 April 1974 Dear Ted, Just a note to thank you for your correspondence and disc, which was very thoughtful of you. I continue to be amazed by your accomplishments and documentations. Incidentally, has the movie materialized yet? I have really had no association yet with anyone from the Ambassadors since that is someone else's beat but I still would love for some team to accept your offer. Yet, I also wonder what would happen to sports as it is now if they became a battle of minds instead of bodies. Have you ever thought of syndicating a world-wide column, which could contain both predictions and personal messages to readers? I think it would be very beneficial to you and also would help establish your accomplishments and powers. Best regards and tell your son I said hello. Frank Vehorn {yes! How?} === Page 8 of 27 FROM THE DESOP OF Mr. Ted Owens (PK MAN)---------- Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 April 26, 1974 Dear Frank: Have missed your sports columns recently. There is no substitute for a Frank Vehorn column. The movie...they (the studio) keeps calling me every so often from Los Angeles and I talk to the producer for almost an hour each time. But it is moving like a turtle. What would happen to sports...if ESP Masters entered into the fray? Color, that is what would happen. If you think that the public is titillated now...over pro football...I would unhesitatingly predict that the titillation would become doubled...with ESP Masters fronting each team, each game...covering each play. And the TV and press media would have a field day! Can you imagine the interest...of PK Man fronting "The Flying Saucers" team...going head-to-head against Peter Hurkos or Jean Dixon...fronting the Miami Dolphins? We would, of course, wear the colors and insignia of our team...be dressed in some special jumper suit or outfit...and probably be on the bench with the players...or perhaps centered among the fans just behind the bench. And why should it not be a battle of minds as well as bodies? Would be the A-1 sauce on the steak, Frank. Why do you suppose teams playing at home...are automatically, as a rule, made 5-10 points before the game starts? Sure, there is a psychological lift...but all the home fans, wishing en masse for their team to win, are actually projecting a psychokinetic effect! Upon the game. I tell you Frank, when ESP Masters join the pro teams...it will add a load of color and excitement into the games that has never been there! === Page 9 of 27 2 I have recently written to Dr. Russell Targ, the noted physicist who wrote me and asked to be able to follow my work with my collaboration... and made him a proposition...to do over the same experiment that I did for Dr. Max Fogel last pro football season...with this difference: last season I had to scramble the entire season to make a buck to put food on the table and pay the rent, etc. This used up a whole lot of energy...so that by the weekend, when it came time to PK a bunch of pro games, and control them with my mind...my energies were low. AND ENERGY IS THE KEY TO MY ESP WORK. Like a flashlight with weak batteries...will throw off a dim light...so will an ESP person, whose energy is low, be able to work in a weak manner. I asked him to find a financial backer...to cover the pro season by sending me $600 a month to live on...leaving my energies free and frisky to control pro games. Last season I was successful 73%-74%, working "tired". This season, if I do not have to "work tired"...I should be able to get a 85%-90% average. It makes...one heck of a difference. Now, re your really brilliant idea...of my syndicating a world-wide column...you are RIGHT ON! I could, very easily, take current events as fast as they are happening... and project what lies just ahead...re them all! And I am frighteningly accurate! Take now, for instance...I can tell you that Nixon will collapse soon and go into hospital for surgery. Stomach area. Things like that. What will happen re Israel and the Middle East situation...what will happen in elections coming up...where assassination attempts on noted persons will be made next...what prominent entertainers are going to do next...and so on. This just couldn't be beaten...on a rapidly-moving, daily basis! THEN...to add icing to the cake...people could send me their photographs... and I could tell them things about their life nobody knows; their character, personality and disposition; AND WHAT LIES AHEAD OF THEM IN THEIR LIFE! Each day...one of these could be done...printed in the column. And it can be requested in the column for them to verify accuracy or inaccuracy...and print those, too, when they come in! I tell you, Frank, that column would JUMP! However...I do not know how to get that syndication. So will make you another proposition (but keep in mind my other, pro team proposition anyway)...if you can act as my agent and be instrumental in my getting syndication...I will send you a xerox of the contract...then each week, or month, when the pay comes in...will send you your check for 10%, for the entire first year. Fair enough? Then each year thereafter while am syndicating...will send you a fat bonus just for the heck of it. See what you can do, Frank? Best.... Ted Owens (PK Man) === Page 10 of 27 April 15, 1974 TO MY SCIENTISTS Dr Targ The SI's...UFO entities...gave me information yesterday, that had puzzled me for long years. First, a bit of background is necessary. In 1956 a UFO came down near our car, and my daughter and I lost an hour of time (near Dallas, Texas)...following which I began to get tremendous ideas with regard to helping and healing people...which I put down into a book, which grew into quite a large book. Techniques to use most certainly not available anywhere else on earth. (Dr. Zakow, astrophysicist, told me that this book was much more impressive to him even than my miracles, some years later.) At any rate, it became quite evident, as time passed, that the ideas were given me by the SI's. Using the techniques, I saved lives for people who were otherwise given up for dead by the medical profession; also did many other astounding things with the ideas. In Fort Worth, Texas, for years...I trained pupils with the Idea Book...first teaching them auto-hypnosis, then combining hetero-hyp with the auto-hyp to build in the techniques given to me by the UFO entities. Here in Cape Charles I have trained some pupils...one man flew from Holland. Another from Italy. Another from Canada. Another flew here from Thailand. A husband and wife flew here from California. And so on. All to be trained by my special, UFO, methods. Only yesterday, however, did the UFO's communicate with me...and explain what it was all about (before, all that I knew was that it gave my pupil a "superbrain"...) They told me...that this system I teach...utilizing methods taught to me by them, the UFO's...would raise the frequency of my pupil (besides giving them a Superbrain). They explained to me...that as I had moved up the Psychic Spectrum (which I explained to you not long ago) that my frequency had also raised, correspondingly. And that as my brain had been, and is, increasing its power, exponentially...that my frequency also was changing. Now...when the UFO's find a promising person somewhere out there in the United States (or out in Europe, or wherever)...they guide that person to me, so that by using the system the UFO's had taught me...I can change that person's frequency. The purpose is...so that if mankind has a nuclear war, the SI's can somehow (I do not know how) preserve these high-frequenced persons to restock the Earth. The UFO's explained to me...that they are at present busy changing the Earth's frequency to a higher level...so that they can sort out those humans they wish to survive, and use to restock the Earth. Also, those humans who have the potential which the SI's value...but not the high frequency...they are trying to get to me...so that I can raise the frequency of that person to a satisfactory level. (These, of course, are superior, key, people to the SI's.) My UFO system...consists of teaching my Pupil autohypnosis first...then to go into the UFO methods of training...which, as I have said, are unique. And since some of the techniques are silent and invisible that I use, to my Pupil...my system cannot be duplicated by other humans (due to my half-SI brain.) Ted Owens (PK Man) PS...the UFO's use the red SI discs to spot and locate key people who can be valuable to them, and "send" them to me to be trained. === Page 11 of 27 C O P Y April 20, 1974 Mr. William Randolph Hearst, Hillsborough, California Have written you before, but you have not even acknowledged.

Have the following message placed all over San Francisco just as the circus puts up posters...also feed it to all of the newspapers: "A Life For A Life"...I, William Randolph Hearst, father of Patricia Hearst...will do the following for anyone...who will bring my daughter Patricia back safely to me. I will set you up for life...you will need for nothing. All living expenses will be paid, and a home (house) purchased for you. It need not be in the United States; it can be anywhere in the world...and I will personally pay for your living expenses, necessities, for the rest of your life. This, in return for my daughter's life. A fair trade. But more: anyone "turning in" a member of the SLA so that the member is captured by the authorities...will be paid $10,000.00 (or 25,000) by me in immediate cash! Simply call the FBI, say you are "The Owl" and give details on how the member, or members, can be found...and as soon as they are captured, call the FBI again and tell them where you want the money delivered; your reward. And you will have it within 24 hours. And no one will have your identity. You will not be touched by the FBI or any of the authorities. You will be free to be happy with all the money. Signed, William Randolph Hearst." Try it, Mr. Hearst...this worked in a grand manner back in the Wild West days with reward posters. It still will today. There are some weak members of the SLA who will "bite". I feel it in my bones. Ted Owens (PK Man) === Page 12 of 27 BILL WEBB, SR. 660 MAM'K. AVE MAM'K. NY 10543. 21 APR 74.

Yet the stupid government will not help, although it will hand away hundreds of millions to foreign countries that hate America. So....that's the way it is.

Again, this is not a letter based on fact or documentation. Rather, it is intelligence based upon my own experience and knowledge. At this late date...I saw some pictures of humanoids (as described by witnesses who had seen them emerging from "flying saucers"). They had wide cheekbones, large eyes, sharply pointed faces, with pointed chins. Now, while in Las Vegas, and winning heavily at roulette for a client...I noticed a tiny man seated at an empty table about 20 feet away. His eyes were glued on me, and what I was doing. And he had precisely, absolutely the same face as the pictures in the magazine of the "UFO occupants." He had gray hair; was neatly dressed in a suit, but with shirt collar open; his head was smaller proportionately than it should have been, seemed to me, compared with his body; he had wide cheek bones, large eyes, and his face came to a peculiar point, and he had a sharply pointed chin. He held a notepad and, as he watched me intently, he made notes on the notepad. Several hours later I was at the Greyhound Bus station, waiting an hour for my bus. I noticed that the little man with the pointed face, the same man, was standing beside the door leading outside to the buses, and was watching every move that I made. Bear in mind...the night before, Las Vegas thugs had tried to get me... had doped my drink...then had tried to fast-talk me into taking their taxi. Now, another man was also watching me, but close-by...he would keep running over to a nearby public phone and make calls, then return to his position. I assumed that the two were working together, as Vegas hoods, making sure that I was leaving town. (Remember that the one big fear Vegas hoods who own casinos have...is a major psychic coming to town and cleaning up.) When my bus was ready to go, I picked up my bag and walked through the door out to my bus. The little man with the pointed chin had moved out ahead of me, and stood alone near the bus...eyes still glued on me. He watched me get onto the bus, I took a seat and looked out, and he still stood there beside the bus, looking toward me in my seat.

(Signature of Ted Owens) === Page 17 of 27 April 26, 1974 TO MY SCIENTISTS After a cursory glance at the enclosed newsclips...you might say, "Well, Owens, what has this to do with you?" Everything. (Then you might ask, "Why are you so late in reporting all this?" Well, in all due respect...you try to do your work with no backing or salary, and see how far you get.) I refer you now to the book, "What The Seers Predict For 1972" by Brad Steiger and Warren Smith, Contempora Books (Lancer), 1560 Broadway, New York, New York, 10036, #78682-125, $1.25...or your favorite bookstore. The chapter on "Ted Owens, Predictions From Space Intelligences", begins on page 134...but turn to page 141. I quote from the book: "Trouble In Nevada" It would be wise to stay away from the state of Nevada. The SI's have begun demonstration against the modern Sodom and Gomorrah of Reno and Las Vegas, and all sorts of things have begun to happen -- earthquakes, riots, sinking earth. I have just received a report from a reliable source that says the ground level of Nevada has begun to sink. So stay away from Nevada -- or the PK may get you there if you don't watch out!" Please keep the above in mind, as you follow further. Now, as you read about the freak things that occurred...AND ALL REPORTED IN ONE DAY'S NEWSPAPER...keep in mind also that I WAS IN RENO, USING OTHER-DIMENSIONAL POWER AND COMMUNICATING WITH THE SI'S FOR HOURS EACH DAY, while these things took place! See (1)...man sucked out of a plane window...on a plane HEADED FOR LAS VEGAS. "Guy Moshier of Los Angeles, head of the National Transportation Safety Board team investigating the accident, said it was the first such death he had ever heard of on a commercial airplane." And the body "vanished". (2) A "gambler's special" bus, HEADED FOR RENO, was "sliced up the middle" in a freakish accident. "...federal probers said they had recovered the bus' governor and that it was in working order. "It's still a mystery," said Henry H. Wakeland, director of the federal Bureau of Surface Transportation Safety. There you have not one, but two...freakish accidents...reported in the papers on the very same day...bearing out my warning in Seers Predict For 1972. In the first...nobody had ever seen such an accident occur before on a commercial airliner. In the second, it was a "mystery". But wait. there is more to come. ALSO reported in that same newspaper...was a tornado attack ALL AROUND ME. Matter of fact, I'd just driven out of Sparks...when it was knocked silly by a tornado. Now...recall the recent file I sent you...where the UFO landed in the "target area" in Virginia...which involves "Project Alien" between myself and Dr. Max Fogel...and remained over the head of a policeman for 15 minutes. That UFO was spotted by Officer OWEN. Then another UFO event I am connected with through documentation was several years ago when Big Foot held out a "hand" and stopped a car going 50 miles per hour...then reached in and held the hair of a woman in the car...whose maiden name was OWENS. === Page 18 of 27 2 All right. See (3) now. There, in the midst of the tornado attack... just north of me...is a woman's photo...named OWENS. Somehow, I do not know how, the SI's use this ploy...as an "arrow" pointing to me and my work with them. But let's even take this a bit further. The small article, "Scriptural Wind", was on the same page with the photo of Mrs. Owens. (Remember, the SI's have told me, and I have put it in print...that they say they are the 'angels' of the Bible we humans refer to.) Now...read that small blurb. "...no man knoweth whence it cometh..." -- just like UFO's, right? Then read further: "...It probably is manufactured on the mountaintop for the occasion, and starts from there." How...did the newspaper writer come to dig up this old quote from Mark Twain...that so fits? Did the SI's compel him? (Remember that in the past I have proved that they can compel people to think of certain things!) And...one further point. Go to the next page, "Strong Winds Change Some Lives At Stead"...and look at the bottom of the newsclip. "Her husband walked in. "I just got the bad news on my car from the insurance adjuster. AN ACT OF GOD?" "Was the trailer an act of God, too?" Mrs. Owens asked." This ties in with the "Scriptural Wind", with the SI's as angels, and with my "Sodom and Gomorrah" statement...and with something else. Do you recall the affidavit I sent you last year...where I controlled a football game, in collaboration with Dr. Max Fogel, and after the game one of the pro players stated that "someone UP THERE must like us!" (I was working with the UFO's on that game.) Also remember the recent massive tornado attack file I sent you...and in one of the newsclips, where a family had survived, a man said the very same thing, "Someone up there must like us" or words to that effect. And that tornado attack was connected with me (although I had nothing to do with it...to cause it myself...was due to SI anger). And this all went on...while I was there. Makes you wonder...how much else...freakish in nature...is occurring there...but I am not there to document it? You realize that Nevada does not want much of this sort of thing to get into out-of-state newspapers...hurts the tourist trade, which is their main source of income. But only PK Man...can tie all of this together intelligently...and point it out to you...tying all of the documentation together. And one further thought: was the horrendous force that I was using, for hours on end, in Reno...other-dimensional force...responsible for this freakish tornado attack?!! Was my daily communication with the UFO's UP ABOVE...responsible for the EFFECT "manufactured on the mountaintop (i.e., UP ABOVE) and starting from there"...??? Owens === Page 19 of 27 10-Nevada State Journal Wednesday, Nov. 7, 1973 # Searchers Look for Body of Man Sucked out of Plane ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (UPI) -- Searchers on foot, in four-wheel drive vehicles and airplanes looked vainly Tuesday for the body of a man who was sucked out of a plane window by depressurization Saturday. Officials said they doubted the body of G. F. Gardner, Beaumont, Tex., 45, would ever be found. Gardner was sitting next to a window when a jet engine came apart on a National Airlines DC10, hurled debris into the side of the aircraft and smashed the window. The plane's cabin depressurized and Gardner was sucked through the window at 39,000 feet. Guy Moshier of Los Angeles, head of the National Transportation Safety Board team investigating the accident, said it was the first such death he had ever heard of on a commercial airplane. State Police Chief Martin Vigil said searchers on foot and in jeeps combed rugged terrain about 35 miles west of Socorro for the body. Two National Guard helicopters and a state police airplane were involved in the search. Vigil said searchers "have very little hope of ever finding his body." The explosion occurred when the jet was about 50 miles southwest of Albuquerque on a flight from Houston to Las Vegas. The pilot made a successful emergency landing at Albuquerque 15 minutes after the incident. # 'Gamblers' Special' Bus Speed in Doubt SAME DAY, SAME PAPER... SACRAMENTO (UPI) -- The speed a "gamblers' special" bus was traveling when it slammed into a freeway pillar killing 13 persons emerged as the focal point Tuesday of state and federal investigations into the weekend crash. The California Highway Patrol tentatively blamed the Saturday night accident on "excessive speed," but federal probers said they had recovered the bus' governor and that it was in working order. "It's still a mystery," said Henry H. Wakeland, director of the federal Bureau of Surface Transportation Safety. He said his investigative team found the governor as properly set to limit the bus' speed to about 67 miles per hour. However, some witnesses told patrolmen the double decker bus enroute from Richmond, Calif. to Reno for a weekend of gambling for its 43 passengers passed their vehicles at more than 80 miles an hour. The patrol also said there were no skidmarks on the Interstate 80 freeway where the bus hit the five-foot diameter overpass pillar. The pillar sliced the bus up the middle for more than a third of its length, scattering victims, luggage and debris for hundreds of feet. The impact indicated the bus "was moving right along to do that kind of damage," said one patrol investigator. Wakeland said that because of the conflicting reports it would be months before his final report is concluded. He said his men had finished inspecting the bus wreckage and would now concentrate on interviewing witnesses. Another conflict in the investigation has been the condition of the driver, Douglas Moore, 26, who was killed in the crash. Arthur Davis, 45, Richmond, who was seated directly behind the driver, told authorities Moore clutched his chest and tried to stand up an instant before the bus hurled into the pillar. However, county Coroner George Nielsen said an autopsy on Moore's body showed "there was absolutely nothing wrong with his heart. He was in perfect health." It also found no trace of alcohol or drugs in his blood. === Page 20 of 27 SO SAME DAY! Reno's Morning and Sunday Newspaper FINAL # Nevada State Journal 104th Year--No. 347 Wednesday, November 7, 1973 15c Daily--35c Sunday # Winds Wrack Stead; 7 Hurt By JACK STEVENSON Staff Writer A "Washoe Zephyr" tumbled down off nearby mountains Tuesday morning, demolishing mobile homes north of Reno and lifting roofs off a Carson City auto agency building and a new stable. Joe Ganser, chief meteorologist for the National Weather Service, Reno office, said "there was nothing unusual about the Tuesday winds, and more can be expected this week. (Related stories, photos, pages 2, 16) "It's just the first good winter storm we've had, and it's accompanied by a strong southwesterly flow of air across the Sierra--which we know better locally as a Washoe Zephyr." Seven persons were injured in havoc of overturning trailers and wind-whipped debris which struck its heaviest blow in the Sierra Shadows mobile home park at Stead. Helen Fowler, 37, was listed in satisfactory condition Tuesday night at St. Mary's Hospital, where she was being treated for facial lacerations. Six other persons, less seriously hurt, were treated at local hospitals and released. Of 33 trailers in the park, 10 were destroyed, another five badly damaged. In Carson City, at about 9 a.m. Tuesday, the roof of Don Weir's Carson City Dodge agency was lifted off and dropped into the service department of the auto center. "It was horrible," a witness said. "The roof went straight up in the air in slow motion and landed partially in back on new cars and customers' cars."

"It comes right over the mountains from the west, but when one crosses the ridge he does not find any of it on the other side! It probably is manufactured on the mountaintop for the occasion, and starts from there." --from "Roughing It," by Mark Twain === Page 21 of 27 # Strong Winds Change Some Lives at Stead '... I Don't Think I Ever Want to Get Back in a Trailer' By BOB FELTEN Staff Writer "All my money is in there." Richard McKenzie stood looking at a pile of rubble which Monday had been his mobile home. "I don't know what I'm going to do. I just don't know. I don't think I ever want to get back in a trailer." His home had been destroyed by strong winds. His neighbor said it happened about 1 a.m. Tuesday. McKenzie works until 2 a.m. "It was a miracle nobody was in there. If I would have been there, I wouldn't be here right now. Look at it. There's not much to salvage." Ten mobile homes were destroyed and seven persons hospitalized when winds struck the Sierra Shadows Mobile Home Park at Stead early Tuesday morning. The recreation building was a center for relief efforts in the middle of a park which resembled pictures of a war zone. Residents of the park milled around and ate food served by the Salvation Army and donated by local clubs. Mike Kay leaned against the wall, his unshaven face almost expressionless. "We've been so busy, this is the first bite I've had today." "Our trailer was completely demolished. We salvaged some things, but not much could be salvaged. We got some clothes. When we left, we didn't have anything but what we were wearing. My wife had to get some pictures, especially the wedding pictures." His two-year-old son, Steve, has been taken by his grandmother to California, "until we get situated," Kay said. "I'm not exasperated or frustrated by this. We didn't have anything when we got married. We built it up until we had a lot. We figure we will just get started all over again, only this time it won't be quite as hard." The trailer was blown over their car. "It seems like we've about lost everything, but none of us got a scratch." The Kay's were warned by a fireman to leave their mobile home. "I wasn't scared. I was sure that something like this couldn't happen. We were sitting in the recreation room and someone came in and said my trailer had blown over. My first reaction was it was a bad joke, I know now it was a lot worse than that." In the corner of the recreation building beds had been laid out. Puppies wandered everywhere. Women held small children on their laps. "The trailer next door blowing over on top of us woke us up," Jan Owens said. She put her 15-month-old son Garreth on the floor. A dachshund puppy licked his face. "As soon as I can get a suitcase together I'm leaving here. I'm not too interested in coming back to live in a trailer." Her family's trailer had been moved about 10 feet off its blocks. The trailer which had awakened her had also damaged the Owen's car. Her husband walked in. "I just got the bad news on my car from the insurance adjuster. An act of God." "Was the trailer an act of God, too?" Mrs. Owens asked. When the wind started blowing Monday, Victor and Dorinea Calhoun decided to spend the night in a Reno hotel. "We've lived in trailers for three years. We never stay in the trailer when it starts blowing like that." Their trailer was one of the few not damaged. "We were lucky and a lot has to do with we have hurricane straps on the trailer," she said. Delonas Boothe's home was also blown off the blocks. "I wouldn't want to live in it again. We've got a house over in Oroville, (Calif.) We'll have to see where we stand, but I've got a hunch we'll go back there." A happy sidelight of the windstorm, at least for Rene Sharon, 13, was that the children from the park won't be required to go to school for three days. Was Rene scared? "When you see a mobile home coming toward your window, and pieces of board come through the wall, that scares you," she said. "It (the board) cut a gash in the wall of the bedroom and went through to the kitchen, by the time it got there it was in splinters" her mother Mrs. Mable Sharon said. "Our trailer was damaged, but I guess we'll just fix it up and get right back in it. We'll be teased terribly by our relatives. We moved out here from Oklahoma because of the tornadoes," Mrs. Sharon said. "I guess I'm a fatalistic person, but it's silly to worry. This bothered my husband and daughter more than me. When life is fully filled up, then it expires, that's just the way things are." ALSO SAME DAY (SAME PAPER) === Page 22 of 27 Carson Auto Agency Smacked by Twister ALSO SAME DAY (SAME PAPER) By MARILYN NEWTON Staff Writer Two of nine persons inside the Don Weir Dodge Agency in Carson City were injured Tuesday morning when a tornado-like wind slammed into the building, lifted the roof then dropped it. Butch Suter, parts manager, and Ron Brown, service manager, were both struck by flying glass. Brown also received an electrical shock while trying to shut off the building's power. Carson City Sheriff Robert Humphrey said witness reports and the type of damage indicated the building was struck by "a twister or small cyclone," noting the roof was "picked up and turned partially around." Trailers next to the building were untouched. It was about 9:15 a.m. when the twister was first seen coming down a hill from the west. "It was a cloud of twisting dust and it came so quickly that when it hit it was like a train hitting the building," Brown said. Suter described it as an "explosion." "I went into a back room and lay down in a corner. I could hear things coming down around me. I looked up and saw the roof start rolling back. I ran from the building and was ready to climb a fence when everything subsided. It only lasted about 10 seconds, but it seemed more like two hours. I hope it never happens again." Another employe dived over a dutch door to get out of the twister's way. Another, a mechanic, had no place to go so he crouched next to one of the cars, which later was struck by a large door. The mechanic was not hurt. Two customers were sitting in their truck. As the roof was lifted off, live electrical wires fell on the vehicle. Brown grabbed the power switch. "A shock slammed me against the wall and I fell down," he said. "I got up and grabbed it again. I had to shut off the power. I didn't know but those people might have been killed if they touched the metal of the truck."

Pilot WASHINGTON (AP)--On Thursday, the first full day of spring, the National Weather Service looked back over the winter and said that, averaged for the nation as a whole, it was "considerably milder than normal." "And that was very fortunate in terms of the heating oil situation," it said. The Federal Energy Office concurs. FEO says in its latest report, for the week ended March 8, that the winter has been about 10 per cent warmer than normal and that heating oil inventories are 32-million barrels higher than a year ago. But, don't breathe a word of this weather summary to folks in places like Grand Junction, Colo.; Lincoln and Grand Island, Neb.; Topeka, Kan.; Peoria, Ill.; and parts of northern California and southwestern Oregon. The weatherman concedes that folks in some areas had it rough at times last winter from either record cold-spells, snowfalls, or severe floods. Government meteorologists say that the generally mild winter featured sometimes spectacular extremes in widely separated areas of the nation. On the mild side, they say, the southeastern states never had it so good. The weather systems held responsible include the jet stream, a huge high speed river of air that courses above the globe; a ridge of high pressure over the eastern Pacific Ocean; the so-called Bermuda high, another high-pressure area located in the south-tropical Atlantic; and a Chinook wind. The latter originates as a warm, moist wind off the Pacific coastal regions but, as it blows over the Rocky Mountains, it descends as a dry wind--warm in winter and cool in summer--that causes snow to melt quickly and even evaporate. The jet stream strayed much farther north than usual, helping slow down great quantities of especially cold air from Arctic regions and triggering the lengthy cold spell in mid-America. But, as it sped east across the nation, it influenced the Bermuda high to help spread mildness in the eastern sector. Meteorologist James Wagner of the Weather Service summed up the winter weather thus: "On the whole, and very fortunately, it was a milder than normal winter on the average for the country, with areas of most prominent mildness being in the Northwestern and Southeastern states, although most of the West and East were also warmer than normal." I said I would do this (in advance of the happening) and I did!! Owens Va. Pilot Spring Mockery 3/25/74 It didn't compare to the Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962, which wrecked Virginia Beach and much else of this coast, or the Summer's End Storm of 10 years later, which was notable for slamming a barge against the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Even so, the Spring's Start Storm of yesterday intruded as rudely as its freakish predecessors. It was Christmas weather exactly three months late. While a March 25 snow is not unheard-of, yesterday's had the qualities of a blizzard. At midday the temperature was below freezing and a nor'easter was gusting at better than 20 knots. Visibility was zilch. Conditions probably were better in Siberia. But then, as we were remarking on Wednesday, "a dismal opening of spring is a small price to pay for a winter that never was." We weren't expecting inflation to reach over our shoetops and numb our ears, though. April 2, 1974...TO THE SCIENTISTS..........this follows my file of last year, where I announced that I would keep the weather mild through the winter on the southeastern coast...and repeated again this year when I appeared on Larry Angel Show, TV, in Baltimore, and announced I would do my best to keep it mild this winter too. Seeing this newsclip...and reading my file, enclosed, on Texas weather control (and remember from last year when I pointed out I was controlling the jet stream)...it should be rock-obvious to you now...that I can indeed control the weather over vast areas when I wish to do so. Owens (PK Man) === Page 25 of 27 NEWSWEEK APRIL 1, 1974 creek. As a result of the fertilizer shortage, grain production is likely to be off 6 to 9 million metric tons." On top of all these problems, the world's farmers have been beset by weather conditions that threaten to dislocate food patterns around the world. According to some meteorologists, these changes in climate will probably be a long-range factor. For a variety of reasons, they point out, the earth seems to be cooling off, and this cooling process is causing a southward migration of the monsoon rains. This in turn is producing a dry-weather pattern stretching from the sub-Sahara drought belt through the Middle East to India, South Asia and North China. Even the U.S. could soon be at the mercy of the weather. Some meteorologists are predicting a cyclical return to drought in the Great Plains States--possibly even dust-bowl conditions. "Even a mild drought in this tight supply situation," said one Agriculture Department official, "could be a disaster." Over the years, the U.S. supplied a staggering $20 billion worth of food to needy countries under Public Law 480, the so-called Food for Peace program. But in recent years, the program has been allowed to wither, and with food demand rising around the world, American farmers--encouraged by the Administration--have flung themselves into the business of exporting food on a strictly cash-and-carry basis. In the fiscal year ending in June 1972, the U.S. exported $8 billion worth of farm products; last year the figure reached $12.9 billion; and when this fiscal year ends in June it is estimated-- away item but as a way of earning the foreign exchange needed to pay for imports, including high-priced crude oil. "Food for crude" is the shorthand for the current policy at the Department of Agriculture. With virtually all U.S. food surpluses committed to trade, not aid, it is difficult to see how the U.S. can continue to play its old role as provider of food to the world's hungry masses. And there are many people in Washington who do not see this as such a bad thing. "The worst thing we can do for a country," says a State Department official, "is to put it on the permanent dole. That would be an excuse not to solve its own problems, especially population. Now, our thinking is that feeding the world is an international problem, maybe one for the United Nations." That view was underlined last September when Henry Kissinger asked the United Nations to call a world conference on the problems of feeding the world. "No one country can cope with this problem," said the Secretary of State. In response, the U.N. plans to hold a World Food Conference in Rome this November. Among the major proposals certain to be made are that the less developed nations discourage population growth and that the industrial nations work together to help feed the world's poor.

Well, the Si's set it up...and told me how to undo the World Drought later on.

Because if I am gone and buried...when the Si's are ready for me to put back the rains...then that will be the end of this entire civilization, from the World Drought which will then be unstoppable.

Owens * see the file enclosed on this === Page 26 of 27 Todd, two other candidates, apparently eliminated themselves the last time out and Burbrink made a special trip to the Cardinal complex Sunday to watch Glass and Harris pitch against Tulsa. He saw each restrict the Oilers to one hit in three inning stints in a game the Tides won, 3-2, with two unearned runs in the ninth. Tulsa, registering unearned runs of its own in the first and eighth, took a 2-1 lead into the final inning. The day before the Tides had scored twice in the ninth to tie at 16-16. This time a former Tidewater shortstop, Bobby Heise, erred on consecutive plays. Then Rick Puig broke an 0-for-22 slump with a hit to right that drove in the winning run. In contrast to the cannonading 24 hours earlier, each team managed only seven hits. There were just two extra base-hits, both windblown doubles that produced the first Tidewater run in the sixth. Burbrink, however, came to see Harris and Glass pitch. And pitch they did. Harris walked one and struck out three in the first three innings. Glass walked no one and struck out two in the middle three. Sterling worked the last three, allowing five hits but making an important single himself in the ninth. "This didn't help me make up my mind," admitted Burbrink, who for the first time is mulling the possibility of sending 11 pitchers north with Antonelli next week. Sixteen remain on the roster but Skip Hellen and Ken Esposito have not figured from the rest and if Simpson and Todd return to double-A there will be 12 names from which to choose. The rumor persists that a deal involving Jerry Perkins is working, which means lefthander Gary Manderbach will be the lefthander relieved. If Manderbach isn't deemed ready, Burbrink may study the list of pitchers now being made available around the minor league complexes. Should both Harris and Glass make it, there won't be room for all four righthanders now penciled into the bullpen--Phil Hennigan, Jerry Cram, John Strohmayer and Mike Wegener. Harris and Glass find their plight dreadfully frustrating.

Although Owens, the physic from Cape Charles, has called a truce in his interference of sports teams, the Nets have a dancer who puts the whammy on the Squires. And there is evidence to support a claim that the dancer, not Julius Erving or Brian Taylor, is responsible for the jam the Squires find themselves in today. The dancer, wearing a flashy cape and huge cap, normally makes his appearance at New York home games at the beginning of the second period. To the sound of an organ, he comes prancing down the court and does a shuffle directly across from the Squires bench. Just as he gets the rhythm going, the dancer aims his arms like a tommy-gun and puts the whammy on the Squires. He does it frontwards, backwards and, if things are going really bad, between his legs. So, you don't believe, eh? Well, in the first game the Squires trailed by only one point at the end of the first period. In the next quarter they were outscored by seven and went on to lose. Game No. 2. The Squires were down by five at the end of the first quarter. Then comes the dancer and the whammy and the Squires are behind by 24 at the end of the second period. The dancer didn't accompany the Nets to Virginia when the third game was played last Thursday in Hampton. In that game the Squires trailed by eight at the end of the first period. ## Emergency Call from Nets Without the dancer there the Squires outscored the Nets 31-26 in the second quarter and went on for the victory. New York took no chances Sunday. The Nets sent out an emergency appeal for the dancer and there, at the end of the first quarter and without any music, he appeared. Streaking, fully clothed, down the sidelines he stopped in front of the Squires bench and did his thing. He even applied a whammy to referee Wally Rooney. The Squires, one point behind before the dancer's appearance, were outscored, 30-15, in the second period. Now the Squires go back to New York for the fifth game and the dancer is sure the Nets will wrap up the series in a fox-trot maybe. The Squires and coach Al Bianchi don't mention what the dancer is doing to them. They talk about the zone defense the Nets play and how they have to make the outside shots to break (See Vehorn, Page B6) # Lead Playoff Se # Nets Put Squire By FRANK VEHORN Virginian-Pilot Sports Writer NORFOLK--With no regard for the law of proper sequence, the New York Nets buried the Squires Sunday and left them for dead.

(AP)--David Pearson won a wreck-marred Rebel 500 stock car race Sunday, finishing about six seconds ahead of a gasless Bobby Allison. The race was flagged to a halt with 112 miles remaining after Lennie Pond, the 1973 Grand National rookie of the year, rammed his Chevrolet into the third turn guard rail. The collision knocked down a section of the steel barrier in one of the most dangerous sections of the oval, and track crewmen needed 38 minutes to get it repaired. Pond walked away from the wreckage unhurt. The usually high-speed race already had been slowed by seven caution flags, twice when cars smashed into each other in the first turn at ancient Darlington International Raceway. Four drivers were involved in the wrecks, but only veteran James Hylton suffered injuries. There had been 24 lead changes among eight drivers in the hotly-contested race before the halt, but only Allison, Pearson and Buddy Baker were in the same lap at the restart. The three swapped the lead several times before Allison wheeled by Pearson with just over 30 miles to go and headed for (See Hylton, Page B6) Julius Erving Begins Flight ... in the midst of Ge # Aaron Obeys Kuhn Bu From Virginian-Pilot Wire Reports CINCINNATI--With the question should he or shouldn't he lingering on the lips of millions Sunday, Hank Aaron went out and played a game of baseball as directed by commissioner Bowie Kuhn.

In Harbinger of Evil Nails Squires Vehorn Continued up the illegal defense since the referees won't. What they don't admit is the dancer's whammy may be causing them to miss the outside shots and causing the referees not to enforce the rules of the game against the Nets. "Our outside shots are just not falling," com- plained center Jim Eakins after Sunday's loss. "New York is clogging up the middle and we're not getting any thing going to the hoop." Fatty Taylor agreed. "They (Nets) play a zone and we can't get anything inside if we don't hit from the outside to loosen things up." PK Man the Only Chance? George Carter, who had been fairly effective against the whammy until Sunday, nodded. "We're Just not getting any calls (by the referees)," he insist- ed. The Squires should know about whammies. Four years ago the team, in defiance to the PK Man, hired their own man to hex the Nets in the playoffs. Owens, who has wrecked teams from Philadelphia to Baltimore and Los Angeles, accepted the challenge and devoted his powers to the Nets without pay. The Squires lost the series in seven games, shooting a poor 37 per cent in the final game. The PK Man doesn't like challenges and who could blame him for being a little sore at the Nets for bringing in a new man to apply whammies on the opposition after what Owens did for them four years ago. Perhaps Owens should have been informed before now and maybe he won't learn of what the Nets are doing to the Squires until it is too late. this dancer and break the whammy. The PK Man could be the only chance. Nets Praised by Bianchi Continued hig scorers for the Nets, who also got 21 expected points from Julius Erving. Williamson, who previously hadn't been able to hit anything but ribs with his elbows, was av- eraging only 8.7 points in the se- ries. But he got 10 the first period and finished with 21. "Our trouble Was obvious enough," said Squires coach Al Bianchi. "We just didn't put enough points on the board. We needed to get some outside shoot- ing to loosen things up inside. but .... " The Squires, wiso missed all nine three-point attempts when forced to rush while desperately trying to catch up, had depended on George Irvine for outside artil- lery. hit only four of 12 Sunday, "They (Nets) came out and stripped us a couple of times." said Bianchi, "We came out banging in the first period but just couldn't maintain the pace "You have to give New York credit.

(I get lost around the block.) Will leave Dallas in the morning. You won't believe... the beautiful, lovely wrap-up of the Texas Miracle! Wait until I fill you in on it! The SI's put their 'signature' on it... by showing their craft (which I said on live radio to Ed Busch in Dallas... was over Dallas) over the Dallas airport, and allowing a photo to be taken of it! If we miss connections... my phone at the Bayside Motor Inn will be 467-8811. Haven't had a vacation in a long time... need one, to take the pressure and tension off... and when not training my pupil... will be looking for some fun of some kind. Tennis, anyone? Ha ha! Wish I could find a fun-type female to squire me around Frisco while there. Oh well..... Best..... Ted Owens--PK Man leave Dallas 9 AM to Frisco, on Delta === Page 2 of 18 Targ C O P Y May 14, 1974 Editor - Dallas Times Herald Mr. Bill Case - Dallas Times Herald Recently I have appeared on your Dallas WFAA Ed Busch Radio Show several times...by telephone hookup from Cape Charles, Virginia. I work under the observation of four top scientists. Enclosed is a signed affidavit from one of the top scientists, which is self-explanatory. These scientists...do not expose their names and reputations to kooks or crackpots, you know. They all wrote to me, and requested to be allowed to observe my work carefully. A bit of background is necessary now. In February I was challenged, by Ed Busch, over his radio show from Dallas (live on the air) to produce "freak" weather in Texas. I accepted his challenge...and some days thereafter Texas was struck with an earthquake; following this, on a later Ed Busch show hook-up, I told him and his listening audience...that there was a giant UFO over Dallas...there to produce "freak" weather over Texas. That very night... a huge storm center began OVER TEXAS...produced tornados and hurricane winds... and extended a thousand miles to Virginia, where I was talking from. (This is all documented thoroughly...Mr. Busch has the documentation on it.) Next Texas was struck by the coldest weather in its history. After that came hot winds that blasted half the Texas wheat crop. After that...came your article... of May 12, by Mr. Case...re the UFO being sighted, and photographed...in the Dallas-Fort Worth airport area. My...UFO...as I stated on the Ed Busch Show. By the way...I will appear on the Ed Dubovitz (?) radio show next Monday afternoon from 1-3..believe it is WRR. Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 3 of 18 May 11, 1974 TO MY SCIENTISTS (Today I read, with great amusement, The Daily Star, or National Star...some new weekly publication...that listed the "top psychics" -- and I was not among them. Extremely humorous. Now to business.) I trust...that the enclosed signed, notarized affidavit will impress you sufficiently. This "Texas Miracle" was not performed just for my 45 contacts...you scientists included...but for all of the thousands, or perhaps hundreds of thousands (?) of Texas listeners to Radio Station WFAA in Dallas, Texas...and especially for Mr. Ed Busch, a topflight (in my opinion) host for that radio show. I was challenged by Mr. Busch, on live radio, an open-minded skeptic, but skeptical nonetheless...to produce "freak" weather over Texas...to prove my connection with the UFO intelligences, and to prove my own powers. I accepted his challenge, both in writing, and on a telephone hookup from Cape Charles, Virginia, to Dallas, Texas. Following came earthquake, tornados, record cold, then hot winds that knocked out half the Texas wheat crop. Mr. Busch is in no way responsible for the damage to Texas wheat...I am, solely. I regret it very much...because I sympathize with the plight of the hard-working farmers, fully. It is just...that the UFO's that I work with...saw fit to do it. All right. It is rather obvious...to anyone other than an absolute idiot...that I did in fact, through my UFO contacts...control the weather over the State of Texas. Now...for an even larger demonstration. See the enclosed newsclip, "Nations to Study Weather". Sixty-six (66) nations, in fact. This giant undertaking by 66 nations will encompass 20 million square miles...will begin June 15...and last 101 days. This...is the type of major demonstration which I enjoy...because it can demonstrate the enormous powers...invested in me by my UFO's (SI's). Thus, I put it on record (as I did verbally on Mr. Busch's WFAA, Dallas, radio show last night) that the UFO's and I intend to harass and heckle this "unprecedented project"...GARP, Global Atmospheric Research Program...by using my powers ("My"...=UFO) to cause freak accidents in the exercise, power failures, weird mishaps of all kinds, freak weather for the exercise, magnetic and electromagnetic disturbances, storms, lightning attacks, and the total result...of a "Keystone Cops" operation straight out of a Mack Sennett comedy. Probably no word...of the mishaps and freakish happenings...will be ALLOWED to leak out. But on that large scale of operation...SOMETHING should leak out...and I will then have The Garp Miracle. Owens PK Man === Page 4 of 18 # Nations to Study Weather BY AL ROSSITER JR. May 10, 1974 ## Summer Look at Tropics WASHINGTON (UPI)--Scientists, ships, planes, buoys, and satellites from 66 nations will study the weather and seas of a third of earth's tropics this summer in the largest such international scientific expedition ever mounted. Some of the world's most advanced environmental measuring instruments will gather information on a 20-million-square-mile band of land and sea from the eastern Pacific across the Atlantic to the western Indian Ocean. The goal of the unprecedented project is to close a major gap in meteorology and build an understanding of the role the tropics play in shaping earth's global weather patterns. This knowledge is expected to help scientists devise ways to eventually predict weather a week or more in advance with reasonable accuracy. The atmosphere's circulation is driven by heat from the sun. Half the sunshine that falls on earth goes to the tropics and that is the only area to receive more energy from the sun than it loses in radiation back into space. Much of this surplus heat is stored in the tropical oceans and then is transferred to the air. It is carried upward in massive tropical cloud systems and transported around the world by high-level winds. "This area is the boiler of the giant heat engine that runs our atmosphere," said Dr. Verner Suomi, chairman of the U.S. committee for the Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP). "We want to better understand the parts of the global weather machine and how it runs." The project is called GATE for GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment. It is sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization, a specialized agency of the United Nations, and by the International Council of Scientific Unions. The 101-day study will draw on 4,000 scientists and other personnel, 38 ships, 65 buoys, 13 aircraft, and six kinds of American and Soviet satellites to observe conditions from the top of the atmosphere to 5,000 feet deep in the oceans. The experiment has been in the planning stage for five years and is scheduled to begin June 15. American logistics aircraft already are flying to the project headquarters in Dakar, Senegal, and some of 12 Russian ships to participate have left port in Vladivostok. For its part, the United States will supply nine ships operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Coast Guard, the space agency, University of Miami, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, University of Rhode Island, and Texas A&M University. Eight U.S. aircraft will take part along with with several civilian and military weather satellites, including a new generation weather watcher scheduled for launch May 16 from Cape Canaveral. Dr. Robert M. White, NOAA administrator, said at a news conference held by 18 officials that the project will cost $53 million. Russia and the United States are each contributing about $18 million. During the experiment, weather systems ranging in size from a fraction of a mile to hundreds of miles across will be observed simultaneously by the satellites, ships, and planes at sea and a network of land stations in Latin America, South America, and Africa. About half of the participating ships will be stretched across the Atlantic at 300- to 600-mile intervals, and the other half will be concentrated within a 200,000-square-mile area 600 miles west of Africa to study tropical cumulus clouds and cloud clusters in detail. === Page 5 of 18 Dr. Sprinkle Saturday, May 4, 1974..........TO MY SCIENTISTS Weeks ago..........my psychic brain picked up the knowledge that the SLA Patricia Hearst kidnapper group..........was crossing the United States, leaving their numerous San Francisco hideouts because of the FBI "heat"..........and were in fact leaving the area until things cooled down. Before receiving this psychic impression..........I had gone to a lot of trouble and expense to offer my services as a psychic, both to the authorities, and to the Hearsts. But I received no answer from either..........so I sat on this latest information until it could come out over some radio show or other. (I'll tell you this now..........I am tired of offering my tremendous psychic ability..........to persons, and authorities..........who simply ignore it. From now on..........they'll have to come to me.) All right. On Friday, April 19, 1974, I was going into the Virginia National Bank here in Cape Charles..........and to my astonishment two negros emerged through the front door..........leaving the bank as I went in..........and one of the negros was the absolute, accurate image and description of the "Zebra Killer" composite drawing (from San Francisco witnesses) that had appeared in the Virginian-Pilot newspaper that very day. I hurried home and telephoned the Cape Charles police. Charlie Powell answered the call..........I gave him this information and he said "okay". Today (date above) an article appeared in the Virginian-Pilot to the effect that the FBI yesterday disclosed that an alert had been issued in the Carolinas and Florida for suspected members of the Symbionese Liberation Army, wanted for the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst. So I called the Norfolk FBI today..........and told them of my notifying the police here at Cape Charles of having seen the "Zebra Killer" here in Cape Charles, on April 19. So here, speaking as a master psychic..........is my information to you: (1) The Symbionese Liberation Army and the Zebra Killers are one and the same group. Killing innocent whites..........is the SLA method of getting new "muscle" recruits..........and in carrying out the torture and killing of a white..........the SLA knows for sure that they are not getting an FBI undercover agent into their group. (Of course, the killings are closely watched and monitored by the SLA overseers.) (2) The SLA/Zebra group has crossed the United States (or most of them) in camper trucks, and are indeed now on the East Coast..........hiding out in their campers and with negro friends who will hide them, and supply them with East Coast guns which have been stolen on the East Coast. Some SLA girls will be dressed as male hippies..........with shaved heads and wearing a man's wig and clothes. Patricia Hearst herself may well be disguised in this manner. (3) (This prediction has nothing at all to do with the above..........but will give it to you just the same)..President Nixon will collapse and go into hospital sometime this year for an operation..........stomach area.

Virginian-Pilot, Friday, April 26, 1974 A17 # Texas Panhandle Wheat Lost AMARILLO, Tex. (AP) -- The Texas Panhandle's dryland wheat crop is lost, the victim of a severe drought, bugs, and several weeks of hot, blustery winds. The cost to farmers: $160 million, perhaps more. Officials in Washington say the impact nationally is minimal. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that with the exception of some drought areas of New Mexico and western Texas, this year's crop is "generally good in all areas of the nation." And dealers note that wheat prices, while somewhat higher, don't appear to be reflecting the Texas drought. But the economy of the Panhandle, already crippled by plunging cattle prices, is headed for another shock. Texas usually produces about 5 per cent of the nation's wheat, much of it grown in the Panhandle. If there had been a decent rainfall by April 15, some of the crop might have been salvaged. There was little rain. "In this immediate area I don't think any dryland wheat can be saved," says Arnold Prichard of the Producer's Grain Corp. With no water, the wheat never had a chance. Any sprigs surviving the dry spell were snipped off by insects, mostly green bugs. Even irrigated wheat has suffered from drought and bugs. "Our irrigation wells have to have some help from mother nature," says Milton Johnson of the Producer's Grain Corp. Prichard tells of an irrigation farmer near Bovina, Tex., who watered his 600 acres five times, sprayed insecticide three times, and says now: "Hell, even if wheat was $5 a bushel I couldn't get my money out of it." Knowledgeable producers forecast a Texas wheat crop of less than 50 million bushels, about half the 1973 harvest. "When we have a wheat loss in Texas it touches everybody somewhere -- this is spending money," says Bill Nelson, executive vice president of the Texas Wheat Producers Association. Nelson, who put the wheat loss at $160 million, said the loss simply plucks that much from the national cash register. The drought is so bad that there was no young wheat suitable for cattle grazing. Farmers rent their land to cattlemen in winter and spring when the wheat is two or three inches tall, then the cattle are removed and the crop matures. April 27, 1974...Mr. Ed Busch, Radio WFAA, Dallas, Texas I am still awaiting the signed statement of fact...which I assume, in all fairness, you will supply me. By that I mean...I "worked" for you...to supply your listeners in Texas with a "miracle" of freak weather, at your own instigation. Therefore a simple admission of you to the quite obvious success of same, would not be unreasonable. Now...you can add to the "Texas Miracle File", which is what I call it...the above. So far, since your challenge and my accepting it...Texas has had (1) an earthquake, (2) a tornado attack, (3) some of the coldest weather in the entire history of Texas, and now, (4) "weeks of hot, blustery winds"...which, incidentally, seem to have knocked out the wheat crop in Texas. Sorry about that...but the SI's promised amplified heat, you know (see the original letter); and they promised a "major demonstration". Texas, it seems...is certainly getting one! And, in variety. Owens CPK / Mant PS...The giant UFO is still up there, hanging over Texas, invisible...causing effect...and will not move away until I signal it to do so. === Page 10 of 18 May 14, 1974 TO MY SCIENTISTS As if the Texas Miracle I have just completed...was not enough...now you have more! See the Ed Busch file I sent you...note that I talked with Mr. Busch, live on Radio program out of Dallas (by telephone hook-up)...and told him that at that moment there was a giant UFO over Dallas...with the purpose of creating "freak" weather there, in Texas. (Following which came an attack of tornados; record cold; and hot winds that wiped out half the wheat crop. I had previously given him a statement in writing that I would ask the UFO's to create freak weather...and four days afterward Texas had an earthquake. This just previous to the above "giant UFO" remark.) Now, this just occurred before the enclosed "UFO flap" over the Dallas-Fort Worth airport. Note that Mrs. Hodgson expressed a specific opinion...that UFO's are attempting to contact humans on earth. I have explained on the Ed Busch Show, and other shows, that when a human sees a UFO...that UFO programs them for something. So, logically, I am sure that the UFO Miss Hodgson saw...programmed her to express the above opinion. Therefore...it is quite exciting...that after I had stated over live radio to Dallas, Texas...that a giant UFO was indeed there...then these UFO sightings occurred (and an actual photo was taken)! Not to mention the concrete "proof" of the freak weather that appeared on cue...to substantiate my statements! It all ties together into a complete picture. Yes? One other tiny detail...which is significantly interesting to me. The UFO in the newsclip...shined down its searchlight on a Mexican family. Now, on the Ed Busch Show I went into great detail, not once, but on two different radio shows...of how the UFO's modified my brain while I was isolated on the desert IN MEXICO! (Many times before I have explained to you how the SI's "talk" by their actions; i.e., the Bigfoot that grabbed Mrs. Owens' hair at Grosse Point, Michigan...the UFO in the target area of Virginia (my "Project Alien" experiment in collaboration with Dr. Fogel) seen by Policeman Owens...thus tying me to these specific happenings.) So...here in this file...you have more explosive material yet. Please add it to the "Ed Busch Radio Show" file. Owens === Page 11 of 18 HERALD, Sun., May 12, 1974 ... A-9 # Are UFOs taking a look at Dallas-Fort Worth airport? By BILL CASE Times Herald Metropolitan Staff Are Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and their crews maintaining regular observation vigils on a hill along the west boundaries of the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport at night? Five witnesses from three families have told airport officials and Federal Aviation Administration officers they believe something like that may be happening. All report numerous UFO takeoff sightings and extremely low level flights westward away from the airport during the hours of darkness between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m. The flights occurred during the last six to eight months, they said. Mrs. Sandra Hodgson, 36, a medical technician employed at Irving Community Hospital, who lives in an apartment complex at 2805 Mustang Drive, Grapevine, told The Times Herald she has had numerous sightings en route home from work. "After sighting the lights, which seem to travel and hover at just about tree-top level, on several nights I reported the UFOs to the FAA control tower at D-FW Airport and to George Burledge at the FAA's Fort Worth regional headquarters," she said. "They advised me to try and get a picture of one so I got out my camera on Thursday night and, when a UFO appeared east of our apartment building about 200 yards away, I took a shot." Mrs. Hodgson's picture shows a small jagged twisting yellow light against a pitch black sky. No size or shape of the object is discernable. However, it appears to be moving west from left to right in the classic patterns of the UFO flights away from D-FW airport. Fascinated by the phenomenon. Mrs. Hodgson said one night last week while watching the unusual lights she and a friend, Debbie Carter, 17, who lives in the same apartment complex, got in their car and followed it. "It stopped down a small road over a patch of woods about a mile east of us and beamed a strong white searchlight down into a clearing," she said. "When we got there the light was still hovering in the air over a clearing where a Mexican-American family live in a converted construction building." Mrs. Hodgson and Miss Carter said they found Mr. and Mrs. Lucio Perez and his brother, Leonardo Perez, standing in the clearing looking up at the light. Perez, who does not speak English, took Mrs. Hodgson's photo of the UFO and pointed to the same place in the sky where she and Miss Carter said they saw the object with its searchlight hovering directly over them." He also indicated with gestures the UFO lights appeared to be coming from the field at the edge of the airport. The point they indicated where the lights took off is on a hill providing a panoramic view of the entire airport. Reporters who trudged through high grass and weeds to the fence line reported they found a circular area of grass and weeds about 20 feet in diameter twisted down in a clockwise pattern. It appeared something had set down on them. Mrs. Hodgson, who said many of her neighbors have seen the lights but do not like to discuss them, believes occupants of the UFOs are attempting to contact humans on earth. "But judging from accounts of the way people have acted toward UFOs and their occupants in other sightings elsewhere, I guess they feel we are hostile," she said. "But I'd give anything to contact them." The only noise Mrs. Hodgson said she has heard during a sighting was a hum similar to that of an electric generator. UFO SIGHTING?--The tiny light appearing in a twisting pattern in this photo is a UFO which Mrs. Sandra Hodgson of Grapevine says is keeping watch on the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. FOUR OF THE FIVE witnesses who say they have seen numerous UFOs taking off at night from a remote western area of the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport point to the spot they say one of them landed in a clearing in the woods. === Page 12 of 18 mr Wrangler The Apparel Mart - Room 4009 2300 Stemmons Freeway Dallas, Texas 75207 - 214 637-1271 13 May 1974 Mr. Ted Owens Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 Dear Mr. Owens: I am one of the Ed Busch Talk Show "faithfuls" and your appearances on the Show are indeed high points as far as I am concerned.

I've had many calls from listeners wondering when you are going to appear on the show again and I thought this Friday would be a good night seeing that we have the most listenership on that day. I've been getting all the mail you have been sending and unfortunately I have lost the verification paper that you wanted me to sign. I would appreciate it if you would send along another. Either myself or my wife, Michele, will give you a call sometime this week to see if the Friday appearance would be possible for you. Talk to you then.

Before receiving this psychic impression..........I had gone to a lot of trouble and expense to offer my services as a psychic, both to the authorities, and to the Hearsts. But I received no answer from either..........so I sat on this latest information until it could come out over some radio show or other. (I'll tell you this now, I am tired of offering my tremendous psychic ability..........to persons and authorities..........who simply ignore it. From now on..........they'll have to come to me.) All right. On Friday, April 19, 1974, I was going into the Virginia National Bank here in Cape Charles..........and to my astonishment two negros emerged through the front door..........leaving the bank as I went in..........and one of the negros was the absolute, accurate image and description of the "Zebra Killer" composite drawing (from San Francisco witnesses) that had appeared in the Virginian-Pilot newspaper that very day. I hurried home and telephoned the Cape Charles police. I gave them this information and they said "okay". Today (date above) an article appeared in the Virginian-Pilot to the effect that the FBI yesterday disclosed that an alert had been issued in the Carolinas and Florida for suspected members of the Symbionese Liberation Army, wanted for the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst. So I called the Norfolk FBI today..........and told them of my notifying the police here at Cape Charles of having seen the "Zebra Killer" here in Cape Charles on April 19. So here, speaking as a master psychic..........is my information to you: (1) The Symbionese Liberation Army and the Zebra Killers (Death Angels) are one and the same group. Killing innocent whites..........is the SLA method of getting new "muscle" recruits..........and in carrying out the torture and killing of a white..........the SLA knows for sure that they are not getting an FBI undercover agent into their group. (Of course, the killings are closely watched and monitored by the SLA overseers.) (2) The SLA/Zebra group has crossed the United States (or most of them) in camper trucks, and are indeed now on the East Coast..........hiding out in their campers and with negro friends who will hide them, and supply them with East Coast guns which have been stolen on the East Coast. Some SLA girls will be dressed as male hippies..........with shaved heads and wearing a man's wig and clothes. Patricia Hearst herself may well be disguised in this manner. (3) (This prediction has nothing at all to do with the above..........but will give it to you just the same)..........President Nixon will collapse and go into hospital sometime this year for an operation...stomach area. Also, Nixon will do something wild and sensational... something real goofy... that not even his friends, his family, or his lawyers would dream he'd do!! Ted Owens (PK Man) PS..........the enclosed material..........tells a fascinating story. (1) Either I actually SAW the Death Angels "Zebra Killer" here at the bank, as I reported to the local police on April 19 (see statement)..........and bear in mind that no inkling at that time placed either SLA members or Death Angels on the east coast.......... OR (2) my fantastic psychic ability picked them up here in this area..........compelling me to report it! (SEE ENCLOSED NEWSCLIPS) === Page 15 of 18 Saturday, May 4, 19874 Ted Owens, the psychic who lives here in Cape Charles, Virginia..........telephoned the police here in Cape Charles on Friday, April 19, 1974.......... He STATED that as he had entered the Virginia National Bank, in Cape Charles, that morning...a negro had been leaving the bank...and Owens stated that he was positive that the negro was the very same one whose face was shown in the Virginian-Pilot newspaper that morning as the San Francisco "Zebra Killer." (A composite drawing made up from the description of witnesses in San Francisco.) Owens stated that this negro's face was absolutely identical...to that of the "Zebra Killer" of San Francisco, and Owens stated also that he wondered why this killer would be so far away from San Francisco. He said that the negro was accompanied by another, larger negro. He also stated that he had never seen either of the two negros in Cape Charles before. This is a true and accurate statement. Officer Charles Powell Cape Charles Police (Virginia) Virginian-Pilot, Friday, April 19, 1974 A7 # Massive Hunt for 'Zebra Killer' Police composite drawings of the killer (UPI) SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)--Police Thursday stopped, questioned, and searched hundreds of young blacks in a hunt for "Zebra" suspects in San Francisco's 18 random street shootings since November, 12 of them fatal. One hundred and fifty officers, organized in special teams, were deployed in six zones of the city where the slayings occurred. The officers carried composite drawings of the killer, or one of the killers, presenting him as a black between 5 feet 9 and 6 feet of slender medium build with a moustache and frequently wearing a watch cap. Robert Brooks, 23, attired in a long black coat and a knit hat while waiting for a bus, said he was spotted by plainclothes men and interrogated in their car for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, traffic and other checks were conducted on him by radio. "Wow," said Brooks, a private security guard, "one of the first things I'm going to do is get rid of this knit cap." === Page 16 of 18 You were right! And ahead of the police and FBI by two weeks!! Ted. # SLA Alert in South COLUMBIA, S.C. (UPI) - The FBI Friday disclosed that an alert had been issued in the Carolinas and Florida for suspected members of the Symbionese Liberation Army, wanted for the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst. Harold C. Swanson, special agent in charge of the South Carolina FBI office, said Marlboro County authorities had received an anonymous telephone tip that a black male, believed to be a member of the SLA, had attempted to purchase a gun in the small town of McColl. The town is located just south of the border with North Carolina. Swanson emphasized that there was "nothing concrete at this time" but he said authorities were running a thorough investigation, which included an alert for a blue automobile in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Florida. Swanson said the car was carrying three black males and two females, one of whom was white. May 4, 1974 # 5/5/74 # N.C. Alert Issued for 'Hearst Car' CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - A statewide alert was issued in North Carolina Saturday for a red late-model car with California license plates which police said may have carried a passenger who resembled Patricia Hearst. Capt. R. E. Phillips, who issued the alert, said a woman told police that she saw the car, a Buick, going north from Charlotte Saturday. The woman said the car contained three black males and one white female who met the general description of Miss Hearst, Phillips said. Phillips said he had no other indication that the 20-year-old daughter of newspaper executive Randolph A. Hearst or members of the Symbionese Liberation Army were in the state. The SLA has claimed responsibility for kidnapping Miss Hearst from her apartment in Berkeley, Calif., on Feb. 4. "The reason I authorized this to be put out is that I don't want a police officer to approach this car if this is the SLA or members of it or anything like it," he said. "I don't want them walking up on this car without knowing what they were approaching and getting blown in two." # 5/6/74 # No More On Car Sighting MONROE, N.C. (UPI) - North Carolina authorities Sunday said there had been no further reports on a car seen Saturday carrying three black men and a woman resembling kidnaped heiress Patricia Hearst. An alert remained in effect for the red Buick with California license plates, but Charlotte Police Capt. R. E. Phillips said, "I haven't heard of anyone stopping one." The car, according to a witness, was seen at an intersection here early Saturday carrying three black men and a white woman who fit "the general description of Patricia Hearst," said Phillips. The FBI in Charlotte declined to comment on the reports. "I had a decision to make," Phillips said. "There aren't that many red Buicks with California plates in this state. If some officer had approached such a car not knowing about this report and gotten killed, I could never have slept again." He said the witness said he spotted the car about 6:45 a.m. at the intersection of U.S. 74 and U.S. 601. Monroe is about 30 miles southeast of Charlotte. Saturday's report was the second in as many days. South Carolina officials Friday said they received an anonymous tip that a man, who resembled a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army that claimed credit for the Hearst kidnapping, attempted to buy a gun in McColl, a small city near the South Carolina-North Carolina border about 80 miles from Charlotte. The original alert, issued by the FBI in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida, was for a blue car carrying three black men and two women, one white and one black. "There's no telling where these people are at," Phillips said. "We're not taking it lightly. We're checking it out." === Page 17 of 18 Dr Targ Saturday, May 4, 1974..........TO MY SCIENTISTS Weeks ago...my psychic brain picked up the knowledge that the SLA Patricia Hearst kidnapper group...was crossing the United States, leaving their numerous San Francisco hideouts because of the FBI "heat"...and were in fact leaving the area until things cooled down.

Thurs., Mar. 21, 1974, DALLAS TIMES HERALD Icy front "freak weather" ... Ted Freeze nips Dallas debut of spring Somebody forgot to shut the door on winter, or so it seemed Thursday to North Texans who stepped out on the first full day of spring. A spine-shivering low of 31 degrees was recorded at 8 a.m. Thursday, not a new record but sharply contrasting with readings in the 80s in which residents basked last week. The coldest March 21, when it was 27 degrees, was in 1948. More cold weather was predicted for early Friday morning. A low temperature of 30 degrees will pose hazards for numerous varieties of flowers and other early blossoming plants, National Weather Service forecasters said. Partly cloudy skies Friday were predicted to accompany slightly warmer readings, in the upper 50s. Northwest winds with gusts up to 25 m.p.h., following a fast-moving cold front, will diminish by Friday morning, according to weather forecasters. Precipitation was forecast for some parts of Texas Thursday, ranging from possible showers and thunderstorms in the north to occasional snow in the Panhandle. Large areas of the state were under tornado watches Wednesday night and at least two were reported on the ground. One hit the southeast town of San Augustine, felling trees and toppling trailer homes. At one trailer park, one person was injured. A tree fell on a passing automobile, but no one was hurt. Another twister hit the ground four times in Beaumont, but did little damage. No injuries were reported. Temperatures were spread across a wide range. Amarillo shivered Wednesday under a high reading of 40. McAllen sweltered in 96-degree heat, the highest in the nation. An official .52 inch of rain Wednesday pushed the Dallas total for 1974 to 3.57 inches, compared to the normal 6.78 inches that fall through the month. Normal high temperature in Dallas this date is 68 degrees. "My production of "freak weather" and heat for Ed Beech!!" Virginian-Pilot, Friday April 26, 1974 A17 Texas Panhandle Wheat Lost AMARILLO, Tex. (AP) -- The Texas Panhandle's dryland wheat crop is lost, the victim of a severe drought, bugs and several weeks of hot, blustery winds. The cost to farmers: $140 million, perhaps more. Officials in Washington say the impact nationally is minimal. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that with the exception of some drought areas of New Mexico and western Texas, this year's crop is "generally good in all areas of the nation." And dealers note that wheat prices, while somewhat higher, don't appear to be reflecting the Texas drought. But the economy of the Panhandle, already crippled by plunging cattle prices, is headed for another shock. Texas usually produces about 5 per cent of the nation's wheat, and much of it grows in the Panhandle. If there had been a decent rainfall by April 15, some of the crop might have been salvaged. There was little rain. "In this immediate area I don't think any dryland wheat can be saved," says Arnold Prichard of the Producer's Grain Corp. With no water, the wheat never had a chance. Any sprigs surviving the dry spell were snipped off by insects, mostly green bugs. Even irrigated wheat has suffered from drought and bugs. "Our irrigation wells have to have some help from mother nature," says Milton Johnson of the Producer's Grain Corp. Prichard tells of an irrigation farmer near Bovina, Tex., who watered his 800 acres five times, sprayed insecticide three times, and says now: "Hell, even if wheat was $5 a bushel I couldn't get my money out of it." Knowledgeable producers forecast a Texas wheat crop of less than 50 million bushels, about half the 1973 total. "When we have a wheat loss in Texas it touches everybody somewhere -- this is spending money," says Bill Nelson, executive vice president of the Texas Wheat Producers Association. Nelson, who put the wheat loss at $140 million, said the loss simply plucks that much from the national cash register. The drought is so bad that there was no young wheat available for cattle grazing. Farmers rent their land to cattlemen in winter and spring when the wheat is two or three inches tall, then the cattle are removed and the crop matures. Virginian-Pilot, Saturday, Feb. 16, 1974 Panhandle Quake Rocks 3 States PERRYTON, Tex. (AP) -- An earthquake centered in the Panhandle shook parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas Friday. There were no reports of injuries. "It shook the rafters," said Mrs. Richard Burke of Perryton. The United States Geological Service said some walls were cracked in Perryton but no major damage was reported. The service said the quake was located between Perryton and Borger, Tex. The seismograph center at Boulder, Colo., said the center was 10 miles south of Perryton. It also was felt in Spearman, Pampa, and Borger and surrounding Texas towns, and in Guymon, Goodwell and Hardesty, Okla., and Liberal, Kan. The Geological Service said the tremor registered between 4 and 4.5 on the Richter scale. The Richter scale is a measure of ground motion recorded on a seismograph. Every increase of one number means a 10-fold increase in magnitude. A quake with a reading of 4 can cause moderate damage and one of 5 considerable damage. A man in Beaver, Okla., said the tremor caused dishes to rattle in his home and also resulted in a few minor cracks in the walls. "We heard a sort of rumbling and felt it for a few seconds," said George Riffe, a resident of Beaver, Okla. A-8 Richmond Times-Dispatch, Fri., Mar. 22, 1974 Tornadoes Kill 6; Damage Is Heavy By The Associated Press Tornadoes and high winds swept across the Southeast Thursday, leaving six persons dead and scores injured and causing widespread damage. Winds reached up to 100 miles per hour at Columbus, Ga., where a meteorologist with the National Weather Service said, "It's the strongest wind I've ever seen in the continental United States." The weather service said the storm system developed over Texas Wednesday night, then moved rapidly to the northeast, carrying a mass of cold air that clashed with warm, moist air over the Southeast. The system grew as it moved northeastward and at one point extended 1,000 miles from Virginia south to Georgia and west to Louisiana, according to the weather service. Most of the damage came in predawn hours. In Natchitoches, a city of 18,000 in northern Louisiana, a tornado left a 40-block residential area "a mass of rubble," according to a policeman. Mayor Ray Scott said it was the worst disaster in the city's history and damage could run into millions of dollars. Prichard, 60, a city resident, suffered a fatal heart attack as he sought shelter under a bridge. In Ebarb, another northern Louisiana community hit by a twister, another man was killed when a building collapsed. Four persons were killed in Georgia, including a bride of four weeks who was apparently crushed when her mobile home in Montezuma was lifted off its foundation and blown 20 feet. Third for Town Another tornado bit Conasauga, Tenn. It happened before on the night of Oct. 1, 1933 and again last December. Six houses were demolished and several others were damaged. Six persons were injured. At least 20 persons were injured in Alabama. A boy was severely burned when he touched a fallen power line. A tornado struck Madison General Hospital at Canton, Miss., causing three minor injuries to patients, authorities said. Four persons were hurt at Utica when high winds hit some mobile homes. There were unofficial reports of tornadoes in South Carolina, but no injuries were reported. In Jay, Fla., one mile south of the Alabama line, sheriff's deputies said a tornado touched down briefly and caused one minor injury.

Putoff and Targ: When I tried to remove the glued article from the permanent notebook, it began to tear...so had to give it up. (Re the NASA team sent into Bahamas that found the UFO base.) Next time I see you, if ever...will bring it along. George Texeira called re the mixup...tentatively I was prepared to stay a week or two if you wished...for experimentation. That is, if you gave me the word on it. At our lunch, I explained I was leaving in two days...and Dr. Putoff said he'd call the following day with a yea or nea on the experimentation. He did not call at all...therefore I presumed you were no longer interested...and departed the area. After returning, George called and said you'd expected to put together something. Guess we had a poor rapport...or something. Am leaving for France on the 27th...hope to get together with some scientists there, and perhaps do something interesting. Am very short on finances, though...so will not be able to stay more than a week or two there. Owens cc: George === Page 2 of 2 COPY For Targ and Puthoff June 9, 1974 Dear George: Fooey on the mail cover and phone tap. Am just going to go ahead and tell you what's up, regardless. Just hope "they" (govt.) doesn't block my going. This woman in Frisco I just trained, in chatting with me...learned that the SI's wanted me to go to an old, isolated castle in Europe...for a face to face meeting...to work out arrangements for communications face to face with humans...to try and help humans save themselves from themselves. To my utter astonishment...the woman, Millie, told me she'd had a savings account for ten years...an extra one that she didn't need...which would be just enough to get me over to France for a shot at the SI's castle plan. Naturally I leaped at it...and have already made boat arrangements. Trouble is...the SI's stipulated that I do the Castle Plan in England, France and Germany (they wanted three different geographical locations; presumably so that if govt. is slyly involved in surveilling me...they can circumvent govt.) And to get to England after France, then to Germany... I would need some thousands more, 3 or 5. I figure, as long as I am going over there...might as well try to do it right, right? But...there's no way with the money she gave me. Just enough to get over there, stay perhaps a week, then return. Hell, the entire human race should supply me with an unlimited amount of money to get this thing done right...spend a full month in France, at the old castle...then a month in England, at the castle...then a month in Germany, at the castle. Then...we'd have some answers. But...the whole human race isn't helping. Just you, to survive; and Millie's boat passage. Today wrote to Dr. Claude Poher in France, famous scientist...told him I was coming over...and just baldly asked him to give me a hand. But doubt if he will... Funny...possibly the fate of the human race could depend on this Castle Plan; yet I haven't the funds to do the job correctly, while there. Well, at least the SI's know that two humans, you and Millie...are doing your best! You with survival of PK Man; Millie with boat passage.

According to my Doctor my cancer of the pancreas is under complete control, thanks to your disc. Here is how I work with my disc: I pray to God thanking him for the people in outer space help me in keeping the disc charged, I follow my Doctors orders and think good things of others. Now for a question. How would or could I tell if the people of outer space make contact with me? Recently I have been seeing a golden light like lightening, while this is appearing it is multi color with the gold and constantly moving within itself. Take this drawing: ~~~~~~~~~~ seems to be moving with While this is happening I have no sense of anything except seeing this jagged lightening like light. Can you explain this? Mrs. Howard did not make it. Her cancer was too far advanced by the time she received her disc. Did you notice my new address from 1215 So. Oakes to 2805 N. Mc Carver? I am enclosing $5.00 to help you to keep up the good things you are doing. Very truly, Bob Lane Tacoma Wash 98403 === Page 2 of 10 July 20, 1974 Note Texas... fires, floods, storms, oil attack! Owens JUST AS EVERYONE LAUGHED WHEN I PREDICTED IN BOOKS AND NEWSPAPERS IN 1971 AND 1972 THAT PRESIDENT NIXON WOULD BE FORCED OUT OF OFFICE. THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOT LAUGHING NOW TO ALL SCIENTIST-OBSERVERS Perhaps you had quite a chuckle, a year or so ago, when I told you that the SI's... the entities that I work for and with... were going to create a world-drought as one, big, definitive experiment... and would let their human representative, myself, PK Man, call the shots... and name each area, each drought-stricken area, to get relief... over the globe (and in the U.S.)... thus proving once and for all that I am the SI's single human link with the human race, and that they have the powers to do such a thing. Attached is a newsclip from this morning's newspaper... indicating the "merciless, searing" drought prevalent in the U.S. today. I do not think... anyone is laughing now, at what I said some time ago. If they are, they are idiots, and you can quote me on that. Texas... will be especially punished... for its treatment of me years ago (re the radio station and its backers; unfortunately, that is the way the SI's work... they expect me to be well-received and well-treated AS THEIR OWN REPRESENTATIVE (much like a U.S. ambassador would be treated abroad) when I travel about. If I am tricked and/or badly treated, then God help that geographical area, state or country. (The disc-people need have no worries.) France... will be especially demonstrated upon (rather than punished) with white-hot drought combined with violent storms, lightning, hurricane approaches, powerful winds, power blackouts, etc.... by the SI's (who are chewing up Texas) but by myself, to demonstrate that I can do "with half a brain"... the SI half. Referring to the attached newsclip... of course I could bring rain and storms at will... to any of the stricken areas. But according to the terms of the SI Definitive Miracle (world drought) which they set some time ago, through me to you... I will not do so. If you think... that my powers, through the UFO's, do not amount to a "5th world power"... wait, wait, until water practically vanishes... and the earth is scorched... then let me see all the governments of the world replace that water, and save that earth, with their vast sums of money and great military establishments. Only I... will be able to replace the water... and repair the earth... through the infinite powers of the UFO's, of course. If any one of you... gave a poor reference to Dr. Poher... think about the above. You were doing a great disservice not only to Dr. Poher, but to me, and the entire world... in blocking the progress of the UFO plan to help this earth. Sincerely, Owens 1974 PROVE IT To Barat === Page 3 of 10 July 18, 1974 Dear Millie: Have finally gotten up enough energy from that tremendous trip... to climb upstairs and write you a report on it. Will mail a package to you in the morning. Contains three fine burglar alarms which you can put around in your place...and nobody, but nobody, can pick your locks and come in on you without the alarm being given. /Also, if you travel, tuck a couple of them in your suitcase to use in your hotel rooms. Also in the package...a purse I thought you'd like, and a necklace I know you'll like...picked them up on the trip in a small, quaint shop...while was thinking about you. The stones in the necklace are genuine...coral, jade, etc. At least that's what they told me. Gorgeous. Now, as I wrote from Paris...the mission to Paris was even more successful than I had dreamed, though not in the way I thought it would be. But... that is the way the SI's work, obliquely. Oddly enough...when I got back and found your letter...stating you'd help the SI's and me further with the it was exactly what was needed...almost as if you knew the communications they'd given me at Limoges (and I haven't even told you yet). From the first...my mind was in sort of a state of shock when I returned from seeing you and training you in California...shock from realizing a plan frustrated for about ten years, thanks to your thoughtfulness and help. I immediately took a bus to New York and spent three days there, getting ready for the trip. Went to Cook's Travel Agency and tried to get a freighter there. Mr. Heim at Cook's sent me to an agency that handles freighters...but I was told that all freighters were booked up in advance for a year...and besides, freighters will not take children because there are no doctors aboard. So went back to Cook's, and he told me the only ship coming up, available, was the S.S. France. I had never heard of it...but found out that it is the best there is. I concluded the ship arrangements with him and got the tickets. (Was afraid to leave Martha and the kids at home...so was taking them.) Next, I went around and bought clothes for Martha and the kids. (Here in this tiny town in the country, they have no clothes to speak of. Beau wears a pair of beat-up tennis shoes, and Martha and the baby just wear tattered old stuff. That suit I wore when I saw you, is my only claim to genuine clothing...the rest of the time I wear floppy, safari-type clothes. So it was a case of starting from scratch, since I was sure that they'd hardly fit onto the S France in what they had. Also the SI's had instructed me to pick up a special camera...which I did. I knew they'd once given me photos of them (in my book) and figured they'd give me something else of great value in the way of photos (and they may have...am having the rolls developed now...will send you copies of all the photos when they are done.) Indeed, the camera probably was for me to get just a few seconds of photos...the castle... which will tell you about later in this report.) Returned to Cape Charles and had to go through a whole lot of red tape to get a group passport for all of us. Finally we all got onto a bus and went to New York to get onto the ship. Now here is a funny thing. The agency, Cook's, told us the day we'd leave on the ship was the 26th. And it was on all the bulletins, etc. But I told Beau and Martha a week in advance that it would be the 27th. Sure enough, on the 26th they put up a sign at the dock that the ship was delayed and would be a day late..would leave on the 27th. We stayed at the Sheraton, right at the water's edge where we could look out and see the ship itself. === Page 4 of 10 2 All of this, of course...step by step...was costing a barrel of money. None of us had ever been to Europe, or been on a luxury ship, either. The Si's had been strangely quiet...only communication I'd had from them was to get the camera. But I could tell they were watching, watching... Now, I'd bought the most inexpensive cabin on the ship, for four...but you know what? They gave us an "outside" cabin, with portholes looking out on the ocean...one of the best cabins...at the same inexpensive price. Don't ask me why...maybe someone made a clerical error. We were supposed to have a "cheap" inside cabin ($1500) with no portholes; boxed-in, you know...so we got a real break right there! The outside cabins cost about a thousand more, to give you an idea of the break we got. Now, before we sailed...I instructed my "gang" to talk to their Sub Mind and alert it that the balance cones in our head would be upset by the motion of the ship...and to take the necessary steps to correct it. They didn't...and all three got deathly seasick. I did...and wasn't the least bit sick the whole trip; enjoyed my cigars, matter of fact. You'd have laughed and laughed, Milly...at me striding around the ship, puffing on a cigar, clouds of smoke drifting...and the other passengers looking at me with horror, then running for the nearest rail! After I caught on to this I stopped the practice...so as not to make any more of them sick. The food on the ship, I was surprised to hear...was said to be the finest cooking in the whole world. And it most certainly was, as far as I was concerned. Beau and Teddy ate in the Children's Dining Room. Martha and I ate in the Main Dining Room. Another peculiar thing happened. The first day at our table we had a grouchy, sour waiter. When we got back to our cabin I told Martha good lord, wish we had a cheerful waiter...to go with the wonderful food. Well, the next meal we were assigned not one, but two cheerful, friendly waiters for the rest of the trip. Any ship that can read your mind in your cabin...then make an appropriate change...is indeed quite a ship. Another peculiar thing... I don't know how many people there were in our dining room, on our deck... my guess, 100 or so. They were all jammed in at their tables. Martha and I, the whole trip...had a table for seven...all by ourselves! Another passenger asked me (green with envy) "how come you and your wife get that big table all by yourselves?" I told him I didn't know. We arrived in Paris on July 4. Now, on the ship I had an idea we were in trouble...because on the ship itself no one spoke English. All French. Luckily, regardless of the fact the only subject I ever flunked was French...I still remembered lots of words...and could communicate enough. Also...I discovered to my surprise that by "probing" with telepathy, deliberately...I could understand what they were saying and meaning, without knowing what words they were using, to a great extent. (In Paris, later, I got a small French-English book with the words...but scarcely needed to use it, I got so good at the lingo.) Anyway, we struggled off the ship with all of our bags and cases...through the Customs...and had to take a train from there (Le Havre) to Paris. When we got to Paris we came out in a huge railroad station. There we stood, mouths open, a mountain of bags and cases at our feet...and no where to go. Cook's had tried to get me to take rooms in advance at the Hotel Grand...but something told me not to. One thing that told me not to was their price...$75 a day! At this point another peculiar thing happened...a woman strolled by, turned, said "you looking for a place to stay? There's a nice, small hotel about two blocks that way." And she moved off. Believe it or not, it cost ten dollars to get our stuff into a cab and two blocks to the hotel. It was then I found out...this was the way it was going to be. We got to the hotel...and the owner immediately moved us into a fine, large, roomy apartment fronting on === Page 5 of 10 3 the street. (This was the Hotel D'Athenes, on the Rue d'Athenes. Means Hotel of the Greek, I think.) Cost about $25 a day; very cheap in Paris. But of course...we were to quickly learn the cost of cabs, food, etc. A single meal for us four came to $10 to $15 every time. After about four days I tried getting bread, milk, juice and cold cuts and eating at our room...but the kids and Martha couldn't stand this...so had to give it up. I communicated with the SI's and asked them to give me some guidance. Every soul we saw jabbered French at us. I only met one person there in the two weeks...that spoke English adequately, and that was Gary Cooper's daughter, Maria...but tell you about that later. Well, the SI's told me to go to Le Figaro, the big newspaper in Paris...and try to get them to write me up...so that interested persons might help me with the "Project Millie"...help me find the castle; then help me get there. We had no car...and to rent one costs $15 or $20 a day...so couldn't afford that, to get out into the country. Even if I could, had no idea where to go. Needed the French Government, really, to help on that end. Why not? All the governments of the world should turn to...and help me with this special project, since the results will benefit them tremendously if I am successful! So I went to Le Figaro...and a Madame Kitty sent me to a Mr. Barrat at Paris/Match (this took several days; everything in Paris, it seems, is manana...just like Mexico City). Barrat was amazed by my material I had brought...had heard of me...and was greatly excited. He's a big executive at Paris/Match. He called his wife to leave home and come to his office to meet me...she speaks some English, and his English is poor. She came over...and I did a psychometric reading on her...she said it was 100% accurate...and they were both greatly excited. He closed his office and they took me to lunch, lasting several hours...with Gary Cooper's daughter, Maria (a fine oil painter...I understand her oil paintings have been in Life and Newsweek) and her husband, Byron Janis, a famous pianist. Finally we all went to the apartment of Byron and Maria...up in a penthouse, with guards guarding the guards. And here is where I made one big blunder. Just before going into the Janis apartment, I asked Barrat if I should take my cigar inside. He told me, in a hushed voice, that the Janis's didn't smoke...so I put my cigar up on top of the outside of the Janis front door, to smoke when I left. It was a darn good cigar, and had only just lighted it, and in my country way didn't want to waste it. Maria stood watching me with amazement, put that cigar up over her front door. But that, I feel, was a booboo. Anyway, once inside, Maria made us expresso coffee...then I showed them my books, papers, etc. Maria exclaimed when she saw the cover of my book with the oil painting of the entity on it. She ran over to a corner of the apartment and brought over a painting she'd painted just that morning...before she even knew about me. Know what? It was an exact duplicate of the entity on the cover of my book! Same slit eyes; same form exactly. Only difference was...she'd split the head in half. And as I recall each half was a different color. (This to match my brain; half human, half alien?) Anyway, for an hour or so we chatted...and Maria and Barrat's wife were eager to learn the SI System...and it was set up for the coming Saturday and Sunday for me to teach them. (Oh...Barrat had meanwhile gotten me through to Dr. Poher at Toulose, head of the French NASA, rocket research and all that...and I was to leave that night for Toulose to see Poher. Then after getting back...was to pick up with the Barrats and the Janis's.) Well, the Barrats insisted on taking me back to the hotel and meeting Martha and the kids. Here was another shocker. === Page 6 of 10 4 Because, while Martha and Beau and Teddy are precious precious humans... believe me, they will not fit into any social setting that you can name or might be familiar with. And the French... particularly these Barrats... are sticklers for form; manners; dress; everything we aren't. Ha ha... when Barrat saw Martha and the kids he recoiled about two feet. His wife, however, was crazy about Teddy (everybody is, at sight)... and she held him for a bit. Then they took me to the rail station to catch the train to Toulouse. Before the train, they took me to a restaurant... and another odd booboo occurred. We sat down at a table with the Barrats across from me. Here I must mention that Mrs. Barrat is quite beautiful... he is 57, I think he said, and she's 30... about the same age set-up as Martha and I. I am 54; Martha is 36). Anyway, his wife got up from his side and came over and sat beside me real chummily. Barrat got an awful look on his face, and excused himself... and didn't come back for awhile while we sat and had a coffee. But the whole thing did not escape my notice... and I thought... oh oh. I took the train to Toulouse... and it wound through hills and mountains and valleys south into France, almost to the border of Spain. Upon arriving I took a hotel room immediately, then took a cab to find Dr. Poher. It couldn't. After half an hour of trying, I directed the cab driver to the gate of the rocket complex and asked simply for Dr. Poher... the guard told us to go to a big hospital at an address. So off we went. But the hospital told us there was no Dr. Poher there. Back to the rocket complex where, after half a dozen guards and people conversed excitedly in French... we were finally guided inside and around and around to the building where Dr. Poher worked. I paid off the cab driver and the guard with us... couldn't find Poher's office. After ten minutes of looking, he finally found it. (This is the way the whole trip went, I might mention.) Poher and I talked for about an hour. I tried to show him my documentation and papers, etc., but he brushed them aside and said, "to me those are just papers." I must have some Irish in me, because at that my hair almost stood up on end... remember, I'd sweated blood for years to get those documents; and literally accomplished miracles to do so. Then he demanded I do something in the room, with a sweep of his hands. I told him that wasn't what I demonstrated; not what I did. He said that Uri Geller did it. I pointed out that I did not bend spoons; but could bend countries. He asked what I wanted of him. I asked him to get the French government to set me up for a week at a castle (here let me say... before taking the trip; for years; the SI's had shown me an old, abandoned castle in my mind... that they wanted me to go to... and on the train down from Paris I had actually seen the very very very same castle! On the side of a mountain, about five minutes by train south of Limoges. So... I knew now where to go!) He said if he did that... set me up for a week from midnight till five in the morning at the castle... then what? I said then I'd repeat the process in England; then in Germany. (His English didn't seem too good; that is, he spoke correctly... but I had a feeling he did not understand what I was saying adequately. Perhaps am wrong on that.) Well, he didn't like that, and would have none of it. Then he showed the only real spark of interest during our meeting... he pointed to my wrist and said "what is that?" I told him it was a wrist-watch, with amazement. A Pulsar, given to me some time ago by a pupil... and quite common in America. I was aghast. Here was the head of the French NASA program who didn't know a Pulsar watch when he saw one! My lord. Then how could he comprehend other-dimensional force, entities, etc? === Page 7 of 10 5 I caught the train back to Paris (a six-hour trip) and it was then that the SI's communicated with me...for the first time in full. They instructed me to have the special camera ready...and take photos of the target castle on the way back (only seconds to do it, because the train is fast...I'd estimate it travels 70-80 miles an hour, and tunnels, trees and things block the view. I'd only have a few seconds to point that camera and photo the castle.) They told me...it had been of the greatest importance for them...for me to go to this (Paris, Toulouse) geographical area...to use my eyes and ears and brain. They told me...it had been of great interest to them...to observe any surveillance over me during my trip which, they said, was a "trial run" type of thing. But what they meant was...they wanted to see if I was being followed by CIA or other US Govt. Agents; French agents; or whatever. And only by bringing me over to Europe to the location...could they find out. They told me...to bring the Barrats and the Janis's down to the castle to spend three nights there with me, and THEY WOULD COME DOWN TO US. They said to get Barrat to arrange it. (I was greatly excited by all this, and jotted it down on a card...which is before me now.) They told me...that for purposes of their own (having nothing to do with the castle plan) it was quite important for them to have me come to France. (I sensed that it was necessary for some kind of zeroing-in they want...with my alien brain.) They told me...that since the French government needed some proof (other than spoon-bending) that they would instruct me later on what kind of demonstration to give the French government. So I got out the camera and prepared it for instant action. Waited for several hours. Finally spotted the castle and managed to get two quick shots at it before the train slid into a tunnel out of sight of the castle. Now when I got back to Paris, to the hotel...I got a real shock! A letter from Barrat was there...completely reversing his position and his stand. A rather rude letter, really. Everything was off, that had been planned. He said he had, however, some scientists who wanted to test me, and to call a number. I gave the crumby letter to the hotel owner, to call the number Barrat listed...but the owner wasn't able to get any answer to the number. Here was a dilly of a mess! The SI's would come down...I'd found THE castle...had the man who could arrange the renting of a car and pushing it through...and the man, for reasons unknown to me...had disassociated himself from me, scuttling, in effect, the whole thing! (At this point let me say...that since I predicted over a live radio show months ago, to Texas by phone hook-up in Virginia...that Nixon and Kissinger would be murdered by the "rich gang"....several key contacts have mysteriously reversed themselves a la Barrat...and I have a hunch that a Segretti-type operation is in effect. I.e., am under surveillance...and as fast as I line up something "key" or somebody "key"...these sneaky surveillance characters pull out impressive cards and convince my key contacts...that I am not to be worked with, for whatever reason. Well...at this point money had run very low. I'd kept a couple thousand to get back on, tucked away...and was almost down to it. === Page 8 of 10 6 And it would take that, to return. I communicated with the SI's...and filled them in. (They monitor me, but I do not know how much they pick up, or how they pick it up...so always, to be on the safe side, I telepath to them...using words and other devices to pass on the intelligence to them.) They told me...to return to the U.S. immediately, since I had been rejected both by the French Government (represented by Poher and by the French people (represented by Barrat)...and then to give some world-shaking demonstrations for the French government and French people. They said to repeat the "Cleveland Miracle," with a slight variation. That is...to use my mind to cause drought in France...around Paris and Toulouse, especially. To also cause tremendous storms...accompanied by lightning attacks (my symbol)....and floods. To cause power blackouts. To make and direct hurricane winds at France. And they told me something they'd never told me before...that they were going to cause a RING OF STORMS in the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf...around the U.S. Tremendous winds; high waves; lightning; hurricanes perhaps. i.e., this would be a JOINT demonstration by me and the SI's combined! Not to hurt anyone...but to show the French Government that far from being a "Uri Geller"...PK Man might as well be a 5th World Power, because of the infinite power that I have connected with the UFO's! You know, Millie...Edgar Cayce didn't bend spoons like Geller, and neither do I. Yet Cayce was a far greater psychic, IN HIS WAY, than Geller. And I am a far greater psychic, in my own way, than Cayce or Geller. But...some cannot comprehend this. At any rate...a small thing like Barrat changing his mind...has sprung loose all of this dynamo of powerful phenomena which will take place in the weeks and months to come. So...in my hotel room, after the SI's had told me how valuable my coming to France had been, and how pleased they were (I was crestfallen because of not being able to get at the castle right then and there) I wrote you and told you mission accomplished in Paris, according to the SI's, anyway. Being wiser by now...and having learned the ropes of going to Europe and coping...(necessary for future travels!) I got us onto a jumbo jet and we flew back to New York, thence by bus home. And we all collapsed! For several days I've been absolutely worn out...only until today did I have the energy to go up stairs and write this report for you. Before closing the book on the Paris trip...I will tell you one of the funniest things that happened there. Any time we'd go into a restaurant to eat, Teddy would scream and kick and cut up. Now, Paris people eat quietly...and do not like being disturbed. It isn't like here in the U.S. A couple of times when we went back to a restaurant, they'd look at Teddy and wouldn't let us in. Well, this one day we went to a restaurant and I told them all, look, fellas...this time sit quietly. Beau, don't play with Teddy. Martha, watch Beau and Teddy and keep them quiet, now. === Page 9 of 10 7 And they did, indeed, all three sit there, nice and quiet. I thought, wonderful...and ordered the meal from the waiter, who was fixing us with a stern, anti-American gaze (as they all did). He brought the water to the table all around, prepared the napkins and plates...and I had to go downstairs for a minute, so told Martha to watch it...and went downstairs. Just then I heard a tremendous crashing noise and thought, oh, no! I rushed upstairs...and Teddy had kicked the entire table over! Glasses of water, silver, napkins...all over the floor. This, in a spotless, stern, no-nonsense French restaurant. The waiter was purple with rage...and jabbered wildly in French at the woman owner of the place. He jumped up and down, waving his arms. She went over and argued with him for about ten minutes. All during this time the French people in the place were watching these uncouth American touristas with raised eyebrows, and shrugging their shoulders at each other as if to say, "Well, Americans...what else?" It was so funny, really...sort of like a Marx Brothers comedy. Anyway, the woman owner finally got the waiter under control and he got things put back and we finished. When we got back and I found your letter...that you intend to help me continue...then I understood what the SI's meant when they told me the Paris trip had been a "trial run". Maybe if I am able to continue soon enough...before the "French Miracle" Demonstrations are to take place...the SI's will not be so rough on the poor French. Oh, yes...I told Madame Kitty I would make it rain on Paris (on a bright, sunny day. Also, I worked on the sky with PK from Maria's and Byron's penthouse apartment (same bright and sunny day) and told them that within days Paris would have a rainstorm. Several days later it clouded over and poured rain down on Paris! A very nice little demonstration, if I do say so myself. Madame Kitty had begged me not to do it, but I had to show her, and the Janis's, that I could. Now...as soon as your new help comes...I'll get some security here for the family (have a man have just found who can watch over them) and will fly back to Paris, take a train to Limoges. Will hire an interpreter and rent a car...then will drive down to the castle and make arrangements to stay there for a five-day period from midnight until 5 AM, to give the SI's their approach to me that they want. Then will take the train, or fly, to London; will hire a guide...someone who knows where everything is...rent a car...and go to a site I already have picked out. A dandy. The SI's have already designated the site. Then will fly to Germany; hire an interpreter...search out a castle...and repeat the process. Once this chore is down for the SI's...will give lectures in all the major European cities, by interpreter, re the SI's...which, as you recall, the SI's want done. Then will fly to Australia and do that, too...lecture...the SI's want this, because for some reason Australia is important to them. Finally, will return home. Unless they want me to do Mexico City. I will keep a day to day diary on all the above, when I do it...to fill you in on when I get back. (And when I return, the SI's will have further modify my brain, they tell me...I will be a different person.) You'll have some very fine photos soon, my friend...including one of Maria and the picture she painted alongside my book! Best, Ted Owens === Page 10 of 10 July 21, 1974 Warren Smith and Brad Steiger.......... The SI's have told me...that the "Rich Gang" who are trying to control the world (and have been pulling the strings on the Watergate puppets who have been caught)...have a private bank! They do not trust even Swiss banks...and these ultra-rich multimillionaires and billionaires have pooled their monies...on board a water-borne yacht (yacht) which rarely docks (for obvious reasons). They literally have billions in cash and gold stashed away on this yacht! Faceless emissaries come and go...to the yacht...used as errand boys to bring and carry out monies for their nefarious schemes on a global basis. For your interest...since I described the "Rich Gang" on live radio by phone hookup to Dallas, Texas...I have been harassed and subtly attacked and blocked in ways I have never before experienced...and am quite sure that the Rich Gang will attempt to have me ruined or murdered as soon as possible. If they are successful in near time ahead...then you will have had my hottest prediction yet! However...I really do hope that this prediction falls within the 8% of my psi work that I miss on.

A VOICE from Richard Nixon's past shrilled out in Washington last week. It belonged to Helen Gahagan Douglas, a lady of icy blue eyes who was defeated for the U.S. Senate in 1950 by such classy Nixonian lines as: "Helen Gahagan Douglas is pink right down to her underwear." Mrs. Douglas has survived -- "with honor" as they noted at the Womens National Democratic Club -- but not unscathed. She carries a chilling fear that this republic won't survive. A theme is coming to life in this country in recent months. I first encountered it in one of those mass addressographed mailings we're all being inundated with. But this one was different. No return address; a legend on the envelope promised "Mr. D. Hill" that on the inside would be disclosed the previously unpublicized name of someone directly responsible for the Watergate mess. The letter within came from Common Cause, a citizens' political reform group. The Watergate culprit? "Mr. D. Hill." Helen Gahagan Douglas' speech last week to the largest crowd ever to address a Womens National Democratic Club luncheon in the club's 50-year history had a subtle weave of themes, but this was the foremost: If government "of the people, by the people, and for the people" is to live on, the people involved must speak out. "We know what they (the Nixonians) have done," said Mrs. Douglas, "but do we know what they were aiming at?" The secret attack upon Cambodia was an attack "upon us," she said. The "double entry bookkeeping" by the Pentagon in Southeast Asia to conceal bombing was "designed to deceive us," she said. The secrecy of the Nixon administration, she said, is "an attack upon us." Recent attacks on the press, TV and radio are attacks "on our right to know," she said. And she quoted Thomas Jefferson's 1816 letter to Col. Charles Yancey: "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." Impeach Nixon? "Is there any other course open to us?" demanded Helen Gahagan Douglas. Born in the first year of this century, Mrs. Douglas was destined to more fame than as a mere footnote to history. At 22, she became an overnight star in the Broadway play, "Dreams for Sale." Six years later, she turned full time to opera. Her opera prospects were great, but something happened. On a trip through Bavaria and Austria in the 1930s -- when Nazism was fomenting -- she sensed the hair on her neck rising in horror. A British patron of the arts told her in a coffee house, "Do you know what's wrong with the world? The Jews." It hit her with a terrible forboding. She was so sickened, she wasn't even able to sing German songs for years. She returned home to study voluminously and to join anti-Nazi causes. She entered Congress in 1944, two years before Richard Nixon. From 1946 until 1950, the terms they served together, she voted for and he against funds for rural electrification, money for children's lunch programs, extension of the minimum wage, rent controls, and loans for tenant farmers. Get this: she voted against, he for, a bill that would have forced executive agencies to make confidential information available to congress. In the 1950 Senate campaign, she issued a "blue book" detailing their votes on the issues. Nixon's campaign, run by Murray Chotiner (still a White House aide), issued a "pink sheet" charging her with "Communist-line foreign policy votes." In that time of setbacks in Korea and the McCarthy era, it was enough to beat her badly. In her explanations since will sound familiar. At first, she said he never called her a Communist, which may have been a "very clever" thing to do. One could understand a Helen Gahagan Douglas who, bitter and cynical, gadded about the country gloating over the fall which her old tormenter had taken. Instead, you tend to listen respectfully to the wise and charming lady who tells you, "Oh, no. I'm not glad. I wish he'd been a great president." But it's easy to see how bemused 1973's events could make a woman who is able to say without a blush, "I have to do what I think is right. That's hard enough to figure out. I can't figure out all the smart things to do, too. We have to figure out what is right. And do it." Mrs. Douglas was introduced for her speech last week by Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, no kin except -- as the club president said -- "related ... by courage." He said, "I have the honor to present our 1st Amendment friend, Helen Douglas." "The appointment of Gerald Ford fascinates me," Mrs. Douglas said. Was it for past administrative experience? "Nope." For leadership in foreign or domestic policy? "Nope. He was accepted because he was believed to be honest. Curious. I keep thinking about Diogenes these days. Has honesty become so rare in our great country that this quality alone without other attributes qualifies one to hold the highest office in the land or the second ...?" The time has come, she said, to impeach Mr. Nixon, as the Constitution provides, and to try him, and either to convict him or to acquit him, and to have done. "The people -- we have been very silent and it is time we move if we are going to save government of the people, by the people, and for the people." So said Helen Gahagan Douglas, a lady who knew Richard Nixon when. === Page 5 of 62 The Virginian-Pilot ESTABLISHED NOVEMBER 21, 1865 Page A16 Tuesday, January 1, 1974 (Note: no gas! - Gwene) 'All Dressed Up and No Place to Go!'

I quote from the book, "What The Seers Predict For 1971" by Brad Steiger and Warren Smith, Lancer Books 77711-100, $1: "What will it be like in these days ahead to be living in the U.S.? There will be millions of cars just standing on the roads and streets...good, new cars...but no gas to go in them, no money to buy gas anyway or buy parts. No one to repair them, either." This quote was Ted Owens, PK Man speaking, in the chapter devoted to me and my work. You can see how devastatingly accurate my prediction was...at this point in time. That prediction was made in 1970. On p. 145, just the other side of the page, is this, by me: "President Nixon will not end in office. Something unusual will occur, and he will either resign or be forced out of office." Is this accurate? I have told you that I am the greatest psychic in the history of the world. Perhaps you can now get an idea of it. Certainly no other psychics had this information in advance!! - Gwene (PK Man) === Page 6 of 62 XV Earth Changes Earth changes in 1973 will be utterly shocking. Violent floods and earthquakes will change much of the earth's surface. Volcanoes will erupt in great numbers. Nature will begin to vent its anger at mankind. The Earth is a living thing, and the humans upon its surface have hurt it. Therefore, there will be earth changes, manipulated by Nature to punish humans. The recent okaying of the pipeline across Alaska--the last of America's great natural wildlife areas--was the last straw!--Ted Owens First of all, I would like to say that I was right again by stating that California would not be swept into the sea. So many people in my line of work have set forth certain dates on which California would crumble into the ocean. One, I believe, was April of 1972. I think California is going to be here a long, long time. I do think we will have a very, very sharp earthquake, but as I have said over and over again, we are going to 131 TO THE SCIENTISTS..........

Weeks ago I had a phone call long distance from Phoenix, Arizona...a radio station...live on the air, I presume..and the host asked me what I might have to do with the "freakish weather" out there. I explained that I was trying to keep it warm here on the East Coast where I live (and it has indeed been like summer weather here...it is 70 today!) I also told Larry Angel on his TV show in Baltimore approx. eight weeks ago that I would try to keep it warm here...and let the cold and storms go to the West....and this is what has caused the freakish weather!

Owens (PK Man) === Page 7 of 62 # Weather Damage Tops DAILY COURIER-DEMOCRAT, Russellville, Ark., Thursday, January 3, 1974--3-B # State News Stories In 1973 By BILL SIMMONS Associated Press Writer The rains that made high ground precious in the spring also produced the top news story of the year in Arkansas. That got the nod over another streak of foul weather--tornadoes that raked Jonesboro, Harrison and Batesville as well as other places. Spring floods, which inundated millions of acres of farm land and also some residential areas, received 205 points and the tornadoes 201 points in a poll of Associated Press member newspapers and broadcasters in Arkansas. It was a long drop to Nos. 3 and 4 in the survey. The general problem of an energy crisis wound up third with 140 points and the Texas International Airliner crash near Mena was fourth with 137. Participants in the poll were asked to consider 24 nominations for "story of the year" and to rate 10 of them in a 1-to-10 priority. A No. 1 rating was counted as 10 points, No. 2 as nine points, and so on. The top two stories directly involved the weather, but the next two also had weather connections. Early this year, when the energy crisis was being forecast, petroleum officials said the prospect for gasoline shortages was due partly to the unusually long duration of the winter and the resultant high demand for fuel oil. The TI Convair crash, which killed 11 persons, came when the aircraft was descending to spot landmarks during a rainstorm over Black Fork Mountain, 14 miles northwest of Mena. Other stories in the top 10: No. 5: The case of state Sen. Guy H. "Mutt" Jones of Conway, 119 points. No. 6: The death of former Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller, 116 points. No. 7: The controversy sparked by Dr. Grant Cooper when he told his classes at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock that he was a Communist and would teach history from that viewpoint, 102 points. No. 8: The General Assembly's dispute over the amount of state aid to be given to cities and counties, 86 points. No. 9: The legislature's accelerated highway development program coupled with a one-cent per gallon increase in the gasoline tax, 76 points. No. 10: The Democratic party controversy in which Craig Campbell was chosen state executive secretary, 71 points. Matters involving the environment and pollution frequently were in the news during the year, but none were ranked in the top 10. The controversy over Arkansas Power & Light Co. plans to build a coal-fired generator ranked No. 11, the dispute over the Corps of Engineers plan to channelize the Cache River was No. 13, and the legislative fuss over Gov. Dale Bumpers' proposal for setting aside wilderness areas ranked No. 24. The case of Jones involved not only his sentencing, but also controversy stemming from his continued service in the Senate and also a suit seeking his disbarment. All of it emanated from his conviction last December on federal income tax charges. State Sen. Joe Lee Anderson of Helena also was convicted on federal tax charges. He resigned from the Senate. Not being a lawyer, no disbarment proceeding was involved in his case. The Anderson story was No. 17 in the survey. The case of Sam Weems, the prosecutor who was acquitted on federal charges of filing a false grant application but later was disbarred in another action, was No. 14. Illegal campaign donations by Harry Oswald and electric cooperatives was placed 12th. This category included charges--pending--that Arkansas milk producers also made illegal donations to politics. Among the other categories considered in the survey: Obscenity cases, particularly as they involved "Deep Throat;" the crash of an Air Force C130 south of Fort Smith; the resignation of Dr. Lawrence A. Davis as chancellor of the UA-Pine Bluff; the computer foulup that delayed payment of some state income tax refunds; UFOs; Jefferson County authorities investigate after police resignations; and the criminal libel charge against Joseph Weston, publisher of a weekly newspaper. === Page 8 of 62 FROM THE BOOK "WHAT THE SEERS PREDICT FOR 1972" BY BRAD STEIGER (LANCER BOOKS) would not attempt to pinpoint time exactly, because "... in psychic perspective, one can most times tell you what is going to happen, but not exactly when it is going to happen. That's just how it is." Ted warned us that his material would probably "shock, horrify, and or infuriate your readers. But I can't help it. I'm telling it just like it is." The spokesmen for the SI's told us that we would have to understand that he and the SI's were presently forced to give negative demonstrations in order to bring financial cooperation from the U.S. Government. "Just as Moses did in his time, and in exactly Moses' own way," he commented grimly. "By plagues." Assuming that the U.S. Government will still not have cooperated with Ted and the SI's by the time this book is released, here is what Owens sees in store for 1972: **Weather Phenomena** During the winter of 1971-'72, there will be unprecedented weather phenomena. Snowstorms, vast and deep. Hurricane winds and unseasonal tornados. Rainstorms marked by violent lightning attacks. Terrible floods. In the summer of 1972, there will come searing heat and drought. Fires will start mysteriously, everywhere, with no logical explanations. Hurricanes will strike Florida. Then there will come another winter of record-breaking snowstorms, hurricane winds, and tornados. **Money and the Stock Market** By 1972 the Stock Market will either already have crashed to bits, worse than in 1929, or it will do so shortly. The false god of money will be taken away from the American people. Hopefully, it will be replaced by some of our older, truer values and the old pioneer spirit. **Animals, Birds, and Fish** Animal lovers may now know that PK similar to that planted long ago in Egyptian tombs to attack and destroy 139 TO THE SCIENTISTS..........Feb. 18, 1974 In order to show you further...my outstanding psychic ability (in this case, precog) above is a page torn from the book "What The Seers Predict For 1972" by Brad Steiger, published by Lancer Books, $1.25, # 78682-125.

But 1972 has some records of weather that will support the memory for years. It was freakish all over the world, according to a writer in the latest bulletin of the World Meteorological Organization in Geneva. In Europe, Ireland had the coldest June in 100 years. Britain had never shivered in June so much since 1916. But Moscow had the hottest summer ever. For the Russians, however, that wasn't the prospect earlier in the year. Ice on Soviet Union rivers stayed a month longer than usual and reached a thickness of 25 inches on the Sea of Azov, the Black Sea, and the Caspian Sea. There was more rain in Spain than in any year since 1859. Floods in the La Mancha area alone hit vineyards so hard that they lost three-quarters of the vintage. But there was so little snow in the Alps at one period that winter sport resorts lost thousands of pounds in revenue. Whirlwinds in Finland in July blew down 70 square miles of forest. Gales that reached the astonishing velocity of 160 miles per hour in the Harz Mountains killed 54 people in the Netherlands and West and East Germany, smashed thousands of houses, and uprooted millions of trees. Canada's cold 1972 has spawned 10 times the average number of icebergs into the western North Atlantic this year. Forty-eight weather disasters hit the United States. The worst was Hurricane Agnes in June, which brought devastating floods to Pennsylvania, New York State, Virginia, Maryland, and Florida, killed 122 people, and cost $3.5 billion. Apart from hurricanes and floods bashing the United States, Sioux Falls in South Dakota recorded the coldest January since 1918--minus 36 degrees fahrenheit--but only a month later Concordia in Kansas sweated in plus 86 degrees Fahrenheit, the highest in February in 87 years. At the other side of the world at the same time, heat in India killed 750 people, mostly in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Wind and rain wrecked 50 ships on the west coast of Japan in March, knocked down 3,309 houses, and killed 464 people in June and July. More than 100 people died in Hong Kong when an incredible 26 inches of rain in June set off disastrous landslides. Australia suffered the same extremes. In March the Alice Springs region had seven times as much rain as in a normal year, while in Western Australia the most severe drought in recorded history was in its fourth year. Perhaps the most violent quirk of weather was registered by the Rhine. On Oct. 20 the river at Basel was at its lowest volume in 25 years. Thirty-four days later, Nov. 23, it had been so high only four times in the previous 60 years. Four times the normal November rainfall over Switzerland did it. === Page 10 of 62 from "Caveat Emptor" magazine Jan. - Feb. 1974 # UFOS AND WEATHER CHAOS ## By Jerome Eden (Editor's Note: Jerome Eden is the author of Orgone Energy - The Answer to Atomic Suicide. His new book, Planet in Trouble, gives the factual material and background for the assertions made in this article. Both books are published by Exposition Press, Jericho, N.Y. Mr. Eden has conducted weather-control experiments under federal regulations, based on the work of the late Dr. Wilhelm Reich.) ********** Planetary meteorologists are still shaking their heads over the incredible weather chaos that struck the planet Earth in 1972. A compendium of weather anomalies compiled by the World Meteorological Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, scores 1972 as one of the most freakish weather years on record. Here are a few highlights: In 1972, 48 weather disasters hit the United States, with hurricane Agnes causing loss of life and $3.5 billion in destruction in Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, Maryland and Florida. Spain received its heaviest rains since 1859, while lack of sufficient snowfall in the nearby Alps ruined winter sports there. Canadian temperatures dropped to unseasonable lows that were accompanied by ten times the normal number of icebergs spawned in the Atlantic. The other side of the weather picture showed record heat in India, with hundreds dead. Killer windstorms on the east coast of Japan wrecked or sank 50 ships, bowled over more than 3,000 homes and left 464 persons dead. Australia got its share of weather miseries, with eastern portions of the country receiving seven times the normal rainfall. Residents of western Australia suffered under the fourth straight year of severe drought, the severest drought ever recorded there. Depths of water in the Rhine River fluctuated crazily. In October, water depths at Basel were at their lowest levels in 25 years. However, in November, the water level had risen to a level reached only four times in 60 years. Moscow residents sweltered in record summer heat and lack of rainfall, while Ireland struggled through its coldest June in 100 years! Extremes of highs and lows were noted on many U.S. thermometers - while high winds of gale force smashed many European cities. This is only a brief smattering of the weather chaos in 1972. When the records are all in, however, 1973 weather anomalies may very well top anything that occurred in 1972. There is no doubt in the mind of any serious weather student - "Something screwy is going on in the atmosphere!" National Enquirer July 22, 1973 # Weather Records Show 1972 Was Most Unusual Year The year 1972 was one of the most freakish in recorded weather history, according to the World Meteorological Organization. In a stormy departure from the fairly consistent weather pattern that prevailed from 1968 to 1971, 1972 brought record drought and rainfall, and some of the highest and lowest temperatures ever registered, the organization's report showed. For example, torrential rainfall in Czechoslovakia caused the Slana River to rise beyond flood stages recorded over the past five centuries. But for the first time in 96 years, Phoenix, Ariz., received no rain during the first quarter of the year. Madrid, Spain, registered more annual rainfall - over 27 1/2 inches - than in well over a century. At Tosayamada, Japan, almost that much rain fell in a single 24-hour period during a typhoon. Australia recorded its hottest summer and coldest winter ever. And one of the most violent storms in European history blew over Brocken, East Germany, where winds were clocked at over 150 m.p.h. Ten times as many icebergs as usual were reported in the North Atlantic. And on the east coast of the U.S., hurricane Agnes was responsible for one of the worst natural disasters in the nation's history, causing 122 deaths and $3 1/2 billion damage. === Page 11 of 62 MGMCHEB CHEY 2-046765E240 08/28/74 ICS IPMMTZZ CSP 8043311208 MGM TDMT CAPE CHARLES VA 28 08-28 1141P EDT ZIP 82070 western union Mailgram DR LEO SPRINGLE CARE UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING BOX 3708 LARAMIE WY 82070 HERRICANE BECKY HAS BEEN MADE AND IS QUITE POWERFUL NOW.

Some months ago...I wrote to you in confidence, re a man in Florida...who had in the past written to me and advised me to buy a long-barreled .22 which uses hollow point bullets...and to fill up the hollow points with cyanide. I wrote you during the time when the SLA was gunning down people in California with .22 bullets filled with cyanide, just in the long-shot there might be some tieup and it might help you catch the killers. What happened? My family and I went to France for a few weeks...and when we returned I found the following note on my front door: "Sorry to have missed you -- I have been very much behind in all my work etc - will write you in a month - Andy and all send regards." Signed. His note is appended hereto. Now, I had never seen this man...he had only written for years. That he was deadly, or had deadly knowledge...was rather obvious. Now suddenly, after my warning to you in confidence...he comes all the way up here out of Florida to my house. But...there is more. Last week a colored man, mean-looking man, came to our front door...said he was from Florida...waved an envelope at me and wanted to come into the house and talk. I sent him away. Several days later my boy, Beau, and I found we were being followed by a car with Florida license plates...wherever we drove...and Beau said the two men "scared him". They were swarthy-skinned; looked Cuban or Latin; and were two of the toughest looking specimens I've seen in a long time. === Page 15 of 62 2 Finally, last Saturday, 8/3/74, at 10:45 PM, my phone rang. I picked it up and long distance operator asked if I would take along distance call collect from "The Men In Black". Before I could even answer a man's voice came on the line and he said, "Mr. Owens, the U.S. Government is getting ready to rub you out..." and hung up before I could even answer. The line went dead. Some minutes later the phone rang again...and this time I turned on my tape recorder, and clipped an amplifier onto my phone so that it would record. It was the long distance operator. She said, "Because your party called collect, and because the message he gave was so unusual... am going to give you his number..." and she gave me a phone number in Florida. I immediately called the number. It rang about 14 times and finally the voice of a young woman answered. I asked what her name was. She stalled. Then the man's voice, same voice, came on...and he said that the U.S. Government was getting ready to "chop my brains out". And he was obviously angry...because I had managed to get his phone number. I tried to get his name three times, but he wouldn't give it...so I hung up on him in disgust. The phone number is area 904-737-2959. And...Mr. Kelly...I have his murder threat on my tape recorder, live, along with the long distance operator's message to me. So don't let anybody tell me that I am "imagining things". I taped it on my tape recorder! But the whole thing is...your FBI must have broken confidence with me, or the "deadly man" would never have come all the way up here from Florida. I say "deadly" because just once in his letters he instructed me on how to gun fight, using cyanide bullets. All the rest of his correspondence over the years was most intelligent...I would say he has a superior mind... and he was most kind to me. However, if there was a tie-up between him and the SLA...I wanted you to know it, to save some lives. Matter of values in the human race. Well...as the phone call Saturday night specified...my life now seems to be in danger, as well as that of my family, possibly.

THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOT LAUGHING NOW! Perhaps you had quite a chuckle, a year or so ago, when I informed you that the SI's...UFO entities that I work for and with...were going to create a world-drought as one, big, definitive experiment...and then let their human representative, myself, PK Man, call the shots...i.e., name each area, each drought-stricken area, to get relief...over the globe (and in the U.S.)...thus proving once and for all that I am indeed the SI's single human link with the human race, and that they have the powers to do such a thing. Attached is a newsclip from this morning's newspaper...indicating the "merciless, searing" drought prevalent in the U.S. today. I do not think...anyone is laughing now, at what I said some time ago. If they are, they are idiots, and you can quote me on that. Texas...will be especially punished...for its treatment of me not long ago (re the radio station and its backers; unfortunately, that is the way the SI's work...they expect me to be well-received and well-treated AS THEIR OWN REPRESENTATIVE (much like a U.S. ambassador would be treated abroad) when I travel about. If I am tricked and/or badly treated, then God help that geographical area, state or country. (Disc-people need have no worries.) France...will be especially demonstrated upon (rather than punished) with white-hot drought combined with violent storms, lightning attacks, hurricane approaches, powerful winds, power blackouts, etc....not by the SI's (who are chewing up Texas) but by myself, to demonstrate what I can do "with half a brain"...the SI half. Referring to the attached newsclip...of course I could bring rain and storms at will...to any of the stricken areas. But according to the terms of the SI Definite Miracle (world drought) which they outlined some time ago, through me to you...I will not do so. If you think...that my powers, through the UFO's, do not amount to a "5th world power"...wait, wait, until water practically vanishes and the earth is scorched...then let me see all the governments of the world replace that water, and save that earth, with their vast sums of money and great military establishments. Only I...will be able to replace the water...and repair the earth. Through the infinite powers of the UFO's, of course. If any one of you...gave a poor reference to Dr. Poher...think about the above. You were doing a great disservice not only to Dr. Poher, but to France...and the entire world...in blocking the progress of the UFO plan to help this earth. Sincerely, Owens * or Barrat === Page 18 of 62 Note: See (1) CHAPTER 24 Ted Owens: The PK Man "... President Nixon will not end in office. Something most unusual will occur, and he will either resign or be forced out of office." This prediction by Ted Owens was made in 1970 for our 1971 compilation of predictions. While we have not yet seen it come to pass, few people would have predicted such a possibility three years ago. An amazing man with genius level I.Q., Ted Owens stands alone in his claims that he receives his predictions from the SIs; Space Intelligences. Whoever is providing predictions to Owens is often incredibly accurate in an unusual way. While he seems to be a prophet of doom and gloom, Owens has compiled an impressive record for accuracy. According to Owens, he first came into contact with his extraterrestrial prophets one evening in 1965 when he was living in Fort Worth, Texas. He and his daughter were driving in the country when a cigar-shaped UFO suddenly appeared over a field and floated toward their car. There was no noise from the craft, but blue, red, white, and green lights flickered vividly from inside the UFO. There was no dramatic contact with space-suited aliens landing to talk with Owens and his daughter. "From that day on my life changed radically," Owens reported. "Space Intelligence does the planning and the executing. I am just their middle man, their go-between, and their front. Their purpose in doing certain things is to make the authorities listen, but first they have to prove their existence to the skeptics." Owens points out that he has never met the SIs face to face. He has not been given an outer space tour of another planet. He claims he has mental contact with the SIs, who use his brain as a receiving station for their telepathic messages. It is his contention that he can talk with them on his 156 PREDICTIONS FOR 1974 161 pro coaches, pro owners and pro players in past years. It will be connected to the Mafia or Syndicate. Religion. What religion? Eat a soda cracker, drink a glass of wine, light some candles, chant hymns, handle rattlesnakes, speak with strange tongues and have a ball. Personally, I am waiting for the Second Coming. It is long overdue. Celebrities. Passing away will be many of the greats. Show business's loss will be incalculable during the year of 1974. These personalities cannot be replaced with the current entertainers now gracing our television and movie screens with dull performances. Earth Changes and Quakes. Worse than 1973, and tornadoes then were unprecedented. The weather was also unprecedented in a freakish way. Florida and California will be the unlucky participants of huge fires, quakes, storms, and other earth-damaging factors. The Midwest will be torn up in worse fashion by weather in 1974, than in 1973. Drought will strike the length of the United States in 1974. The lack of water will really cripple farms and ranches. The cities and towns of the United States will be dangerously short of water. The shortage of drinking water in the United States will be intense in 1974, due to the Great Drought. (I am going to give it a name, since it will be with us for quite a long time.) Note: See (2) Warren Smith's "Predictions for 1974" (Award Books) INTRODUCTION Welcome To The World of Tomorrow--1974! "There will be a military takeover of the US government!" "A submarine and a UFO will collide off the Aleutian Islands. Some of the survivors will not be of this planet!" "John Connally will be the last president of the nation." "Atlantis will start to rise in 1974." These are just a sampling of the startling predictions for the future contained in this unique glimpse of 1974. Our forecast for next year--and beyond--has been envisioned by the nation's leading psychics, tarot card readers, clairvoyants, ESP practitioners, and astrologers. While our prognosticators do not always agree about the course of future events, we can enjoy their predictions, utilize their advice, and keep score in 1974. If an occasional prediction appears to be old news, it isn't a psychic's error. These predictions were made with a deadline of June 8, 1973. This means that the psychics were asked to predict up to eighteen months into the future. "Some of these predictions will come true before your book goes on sale," cautioned a contributor. "In today's fast-paced world, a psychic can receive impressions concerning a future event, then not have time to have it documented before the event has occurred." There were plans to rate the seers who appeared in last year's compilation, but since there are still several months left in the year, such an undertaking would be folly. I will simply state that no psychic is able to maintain 100 percent accuracy in his predictions. The participating psychics, however, have numerous successes to their credit, and they are 7 === Page 19 of 62 The Virginian-Pilot Norfolk, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Suffolk, Virginia, Friday, August 9, 1974 # Nixon Quits WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Nixon resigned Thursday night, effective at noon today, telling the nation that "America needs a full-time president and a full-time Congress" freed of the pressures of Watergate and impeachment. Nixon, in his final address from the Oval Office of the White House, said he leaves without bitterness toward his foes, with thanks for those who have supported him through the months of Watergate. Nixon was to disclose his decision to an expectant nation six years to the day after he received the Republican nomination for President at the GOP National Convention in Miami Beach, Fla., on Aug. 8, 1968. In the 198-year history of the Republic, eight presidents died in office, but none resigned. A White House source said Kissinger was instrumental in persuading Nixon that the nation would be best served. # President Yields and Resigns "The leadership of America will be in good hands," Nixon said. Nixon, his face grim but his voice steady, said he is stepping aside in the national interest. His base of support in Congress, he said, has eroded to the point at which he would not have backing for the crucial decisions that confront the president. ... spanned almost three decades in public life as representative, senator, vice president, citizen campaigner, and ultimately, 37th president of the United States. It was the first time in the 185-year chain of presidents that a chief executive resigned his office. And it was the first time that the office would be filled under the presidential succession decreed by the 25th Amendment, ratified in 1967. Newsweek 8/12/74 ![Image of a farm during a drought] Dust Bowl '74 Page 56 A blistering drought is baking the Midwest grain belt, searing crops and bringing back memories of the ravaging dust bowl of the 1930s. Hopes for a bountiful harvest have disappeared--and if heavy rains don't come soon, the nation could suffer its first crop disaster in history. Chicago bureau chief Frank Maier visited the drought-stricken region and talked to worried farmers.

OWENS (PK MAN) === Page 21 of 62 ECONOMY & BUSINESS FARMING Back to Dust Bowl Days First came the torrential rains of spring, sweeping away thousands of planted acres in the Midwestern grain belt, gouging great creases in the fields and delaying planting of new crops. Then the rain stopped, and for well over a month now, the sun has risen like a bright brass gong in a white sky. While days, then weeks passed without rain, the sun parched the soil and left corn stalks brittle, stunted and dead. From the Dakotas southward to Texas, from Kansas east to parts of Ohio, the most baleful weather in a generation is raising the specter of economic disaster for Midwest farmers and the businessmen who depend on them. The big drought is daily diminishing what had been estimated would be a bumper yield of corn, soybeans and other feed grains. Crops of spring wheat, oats and barley are also being reduced. "It's the worst since 1934," says Nebraska Farmer Harold Buethe. Adds Gary Luth of Illinois: "Last year my soybeans were waist- to chest-high by this time. Now they're only ankle- to knee-high." Unless there is a break in the malicious weather this week, the corn crops could be devastated; soybean plantings will begin to burn up within weeks. Even if the rains come soon, this fall's harvest is now all but certain to drop well below amounts needed to restrain inflationary food prices. Says Jim Tippett, an official of the Illinois Farm Bureau: "We need hot, sticky weather now, with plenty of rain, the kind of weather that makes people suffer." Last week some rain fell in the Midwest, but officials said it was not enough to end the drought. Shrinking Income. In part because of the drought, Agriculture Department forecasts for the corn crop have been revised downward, from 6.7 billion bu. in May to 5.9 billion bu. two weeks ago. Since then, conditions have grown worse, and by last week the National Corn Growers Association was predicting that the corn harvest would drop "significantly below" 5.5 billion bu. v. 5.6 billion last year. In Nebraska, the state with the biggest crop damage, "dry land" farmers (those without irrigation) reckon that they have already lost 75% of the 235 million bu. of corn they expected. Many farmers are holding tight to whatever grain they have, and a lack of feed for Nebraska's record 7.5 million head of cattle is hurting ranchers. In all, Nebraska's farm income could shrink by $2 billion this year. Losses for Iowa and Kansas are conservatively estimated at $3 billion. Dry weather is also punishing Illinois, where the soybean crop will probably fall 20% below earlier expectations. Farmers in Oklahoma are getting only three cuttings of hay instead of five, and the spring-wheat yield in North Dakota is expected to be sharply reduced. The Governors of Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota have declared their states disaster areas. At the Midwest Governors Conference last week in Minneapolis, a resolution was adopted urging the Administration to expand farm disaster relief and increase crop price-support programs, which only last year were reduced in order to boost production. DROUGHT AREA ![Map of the United States showing drought areas in the Midwest and South] 0 250 500 mi. TIME Map by W. Hortens For small farmers, the drought could be ruinous. For example, Kenneth Grove, who invested heavily in weed killers and fertilizers to work his 220 acres in Tecumseh, Neb., has given up on part of his crop and is now mowing it to feed his 80-head dairy herd. On the other hand, many large and middle-size farmers, who earned the bulk of the $32 billion in agricultural income last year, have enough financial protection to tide them over. Indeed, many big wheat farmers, who brought in their winter harvest before the drought struck, stand to make a bundle because they are holding back an unusually large proportion of their crop until prices are forced up still higher. Worst off are the cattle raisers, who overproduced in recent years in hopes of making plump DRIED-OUT KANSAS FARM LAND Multibillion disaster. 68 TIME, AUGUST 12, 1974 === Page 22 of 62 UPI Nebraska farmer with stunted corn: 'First it's too wet, then it's too dry' A '30s dust-bowl scene: New drought ... 2 The Dust Bowl of '74 The First Christian Church of tiny Sheldon, Iowa, was jammed--but not for the usual reasons. Seven hundred farmers and townsfolk had gathered to pray for rain. Not a drop had fallen since early June, and the fields of northwestern Iowa were baked hard, scarred with ugly zigzag cracks. The corn was stunted, the soybean plants seared yellow. Hope for a bountiful harvest had long since disappeared. Without a lot of rain--and soon--there might not be any harvest at all. Sheldon's prayers were answered last week when half an inch of rain fell--but it simply wasn't enough. And so the Rev. Nicholas Vogelzang is planning a second pray-in for rain. Sheldon is not alone in its plight. A blistering drought is baking the vast plains and prairies of the Midwest and West, parching the land unmercifully during what should be the prime growing season. To many farmers, it brings back frightening memories of the 1930s when the ravaging dust bowl cost hundreds of thousands their land, their farms and their futures. Even though rain came to sections of the Midwest late last week, it didn't do much good. Long-range weather forecasts are not promising, and it is already probably too late to save billions of dollars' worth of corn, soybeans and wheat. So far, a full 75 per cent of Nebraska's non-irrigated corn has been damaged beyond recovery, and the state's hay crop is expected to be a mere 30 to 40 per cent of normal. Nebraska Gov. J.J. Exon, citing crop losses totaling more than $2.2 billion, has declared his state a disaster area. Iowa's corn crop is expected to be as much as 40 per cent smaller than last year's 1.2 billion bushels; in some especially hard-hit areas, the harvest may be down a disastrous 70 per cent, while soybean yield has fallen more than 40 per cent. In North Dakota, some counties estimate their wheat harvest could be as bad as a third of normal. "Unless the soybean and corn fields get some rain soon," warns commodity expert Robert Raclin, "we could have the first crop disaster in our history." For consumers, the drought will mean higher food prices--perhaps drastic increases in the case of meat and poultry. What's more, the Nixon Administration's hope for cutting the inflation rate rests heavily on the lower food prices that a bumper harvest would bring. Now, that prospect seems increasingly unrealistic. "When the President talked about big crops to ease inflation, it was a lot of baloney," Raclin says bluntly. Jump: Indeed, prices are already turning up. The Agriculture Department reported last week that prices of raw farm products jumped 6 per cent between June 15 and July 15 after four months of decline. Sharp increases in farmers' expenses for fuel, fertilizer and other overhead account for part of the rise, but the trend also reflects the first impact of the devastating weather that has plagued this year's crops. An unusually wet spring delayed planting of corn and soybeans. Many planted fields were washed out and had to be seeded twice, some three times. But the wet spring was followed by a scorchingly dry summer. There has been virtually no rain since June in much of the Midwest Farm Belt and the prairies. Omaha recently had fifteen days in a row of over-100-degree heat; the first seven months of this year probably will turn out to be the third driest in the 104 years weather records have been kept in Nebraska--drier even than 1936, the worst Depression drought year. What rain there has been has done little good. It has either been light and scattered or torrential and brief--too brief to do more than run off the hard-baked ground and evaporate. "It's so dry you can start a fire just from a car or truck muffler," says Harold G. Gallaher of Kansas State University's extension service. In Kansas last week, rural fire districts reported a record 30 pasture-land fires. South Dakota, too, is experiencing an unusual number of prairie fires. "First it's too wet, then it's too dry," grouses J. Orin Taylor, who farms TURN FOR THE WORSE Devastating weather is ruining crops, helping to push farm prices up once more.

Not many of the rains measured more than half an inch, and most of the showers left barely more than a trace of moisture. From West Texas across southeast Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana, many sections have had little more than an inch of rain since early June. "This is truly a disaster," Iowa Gov. Robert Ray said on a tour Friday from Council Bluffs to Atlantic and Hastings in southwest Iowa. Keith Bruce and his son David took Ray into a cornfield on their farm near Hastings and showed him stalks on which no ears had formed. The Bruces grow 1,700 acres of corn, feed it all to the cattle they fatten for market, and even in normal years buy additional feed. Normally they would have 4,000 to 5,000 head of cattle, but because of the drought they have cut back to 2,500 and are not replacing the ones they sell off. "This has such an adverse effect on many things -- livestock, main street, the consumer, the world food picture -- all are hurt by this," Ray said. Iowa's secretary of agriculture, Robert Lounsberry, estimated that the income of Iowa farmers has been cut $1.6 billion from reasonable expectations earlier in the year. The area which Ray toured is expected to lose 70 per cent of its corn production. Iowa did have some rains during the week, up to 1 1/2 inches in a few areas. But there were only traces in the areas which needed it most. A survey made at the request of Gov. J. James Exon, based on conditions at the end of July, showed that Nebraska's farmers have lost $2.2 billion to the drought. Paul Sindt, executive director in Nebraska for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service and head of the governor's drought-disaster committee, estimated that 85 per cent of the corn grown on nonirrigated land, 67 per cent of the sorghum grains grown on nonirrigated land, and 51 per cent of all soybeans have been lost. Even in irrigated fields, crops will be off 15 to 16 per cent because there hasn't been enough water. Nebraska has had a few sprinkles in the last few days, even a little more than an inch at the little town of Orchard in the northeast. The worst damage is in the southeast. Spotty rains did not do much good for Oklahoma, particularly in its hard-hit west. The latest estimates showed two-thirds of Oklahoma's corn crop in poor to fair condition and 93 per cent of its cotton and sorghums poor to fair. Forty-one per cent of its soybeans were still in good condition, but that was down from 75 per cent a week earlier. Many areas in Missouri reported showers in the 24 hours ended at 7 a.m. Saturday, but reporting stations in the big-crop farm areas had little more than one-tenth of an inch or none at all. There was no rain across Kansas, although the state has had some light and scattered showers in the last few days. Frank Mosier, executive director of Kansas' Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, said: "We need 2 to 3 inches of gentle, soaking rain . . . when it sets in for two or three days." Kansas has written off most of its corn not raised on irrigated land, particularly in the eastern third of the state. Soybeans have been putting on few pods. Grain sorghums are stunted and their heads have been filling out with few kernels, if they have headed. Good rains in another 10 days would save some of the beans and sorghums. One thing that has helped a little is a mass of cool air which surged down over the farm belt during the week. Many areas marked all-time lows for an Aug. 3. "It will help us hold on a little longer," Dallas Pickett said from his 450-acre grain-and-livestock farm at Stewartsville in northwest Missouri. The state offices of the federal government's Livestock and Crop Reporting Service will be making reports Monday afternoon on their weekly survey of crop and pasture conditions. They are couched in general terms about the condition of crops and pastures, as of the previous Saturday, and give an estimate on the adequacy of soil moisture. As of Aug. 1, the field offices made crop surveys which will result in the first bushel estimates on fall crops. Washington will announce them Aug. 12. === Page 24 of 62 TRIBUNE July 29, 1974 # Drouth scorching American midlands By David Smothers By United Press International A MERCILESS, searing drouth is drying up the midlands and it is probably too late to save billions of dollars in crops and livestock. If rain, and lots of it, does not come soon, the situation can only get a great deal worse, state officials and experts surveyed by United Press International said. The drouth of 1974 probably will mean climbing prices at the supermarkets. Administration hopes for bumper crops which could drive down prices and still keep farmers happy seem sure to be disappointed in some of the nation's richest farm and ranch country. In Nebraska, there is talk that this drouth could be worse than the disaster years of the 1930s. Meteorologists have speculated the summer's sizzling dry spell might be the start of such a drouth cycle. APPEALS FOR federal aid in the form of easier farm loans and higher prices are going out from state capitals. E. L. Short, a rancher and representative in the Texas legislature, said, "Without relief and an incentive for the farmers and ranchers to stay in business and keep the supply and demand partially balanced, we have yet to see what higher prices are really about." Already, Gov. J. James Exon of Nebraska has declared that state a drouth disaster area. There is frightening talk of almost a zero corn crop in some areas. GOV. BRUCE KING has declared a state of emergency in New Mexico, where the U. S. Department of Agriculture says range land is in the worst condition since it began keeping records in 1922. In the corn belt, many farmers have despaired of bringing in a decent crop and are chopping up their corn for silage except in some areas there is not much corn to chop. In Weston County, Wyo., the hay crop is almost a complete loss and officials say ranchers have sold off 30 per cent of their livestock because they won't have enough money to make it thru the winter otherwise. The county has been declared a disaster area. HUNDREDS OF PERSONS prayed for rain at the First Christian Reform Church in the rich farm town of Sheldon, Ia., where the minister said there has been no rain to speak of in 8 to 12 weeks. Iowa is the nation's second state in popcorn production and it looks as if 25 per cent of the state's popcorn crop may be lost. Look for higher popcorn prices. Anthrax, a disease which comes with drouth, is killing cattle from Texas to the Dakotas. Crop-killing insect infestations have been reported at the same points. Conditions are approaching the critical stage as far east as Ohio. STATE OFFICIALS are glum in calculating the costs so far and those to come. Texas Agriculture Commissioner John C. White said drouth damage there to crops alone comes to at least $2 billion. Winter wheat production is the lowest in seven years, he said, and, "even if the rains came today, it would be too late for much of the cotton, grain, sorghum, and other row crops." Nebraska's Exon said his estimate of a $1 billion loss is probably conservative "because the situation is deteriorating so rapidly." Feed shortages have become so serious, that Exon ordered hay growing along highway rights of way to be cut and sold at auction. The loss in Kansas was estimated at about $1 billion. Dryland wheat in New Mexico is dead. Some Texas ranchers are selling off all their herds because of high feed costs and dry range conditions. IN CENTRAL Illinois, agricultural experts look for a 50 per cent cut in crop yields on some farms. Altho the drouth is concentrated in the plains, it is feared the corn and soybean crop in northwest Ohio could be slashed by half if rain does not come. The Cleveland crop reporting service of Murch and Co. advised last week, "It is a disaster area in the [corn] belt." The cause is simple. It was a wet spring in the midlands. That delayed planting and held down the acreage which could be planted. Then there was no water. Last week, there had been no rain of consequence in Kansas, aside from a July 3 downpour, since June 12. It was much the same elsewhere from the southwest plains well into the Mississippi Valley. === Page 25 of 62 a. Pilot 7|31|74 # Expert 'Horrified' by Drought MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (AP) Norman E. Borlaug, a Nobel prize-winning food expert, said Tuesday that he is "horrified" at the extent of drought conditions in the United States. Borlaug returned last week after nearly six months in Asia and Africa, working on food projects with developing nations. While his information is incomplete, Borlaug said, "It doesn't look promising." He said he has unconfirmed reports of substantial winter kill in the Russian winter wheat crop, a factor which could affect world prices. Borlaug spoke at the Midwest Governors Conference, joining Sen. Hubert wh. Humphrey, D-Minn., and others in a discussion of world food problems. Borlaug criticized the federal government for dealing inadequately with inflation. "It seems to me we've become so damn obsessed with Watergate that we play Watergate-Watergate while inflation is ruining the world," he said. Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for developing a strain of wheat useful in underdeveloped countries. Speaking mostly in worldwide terms, Borlaug said food production is barely keeping pace with the "population monster." August 1, 1974.......... to my Observer-Scientists: It is sad..........that the SI's must have to prove their point the "hard way" for the human race...i.e., that they must produce a World Drought, then let me replace the water by rainfall around the world.. "calling the shots" in order to prove for once and for all that I work for and with the SI's (UFO entities)...that they are real...and that I am their very real human bridge, or link, to the human race. They have just communicated with me...and informed me that shortly, when I return to Europe to complete my mission for them...that they must further modify my brain (at one of the European geographical locations outlined) so that I will be ABLE TO HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO REPLACE RAINFALL ONTO THE EARTH AFTER THE WORLD DROUGHT BECOMES SEVERE! Should anything stop me, or happen to me...then the surface of the earth will become a dried-out, unlivable (without water) crust. I trust...this gets over to you...the gravity of the situation. All right, you can read more about the World Drought in the enclosed. Now, another kind of prediction...Gerald Ford, presently Vice President...is a very very bad man...he works for the "Nixon machine"...and if he becomes our President, then we are lost...for we have already probably gone past the "point of no return" due to so many bad leaders in a row. Ford...will be a catastrophe for the United States...if he steps into the office of Presidency. Another different kind of note to you...for years I've been controlling pro football teams in an effort to get enough money together for two things: (1) to go to Europe and Australia and carry out the SI "castle plan" and (2) to be able to move to a safe location for me and my family. Because this will shortly be made possible WITHOUT a pro football contract...then this season of 1974 I will not pursue my usual demonstration; except that I will stop the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Oilers, because of the knavery I experienced in Dallas not long ago.... Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens === Page 26 of 62 Million Crop Loss Va. Pilot # More States Have Damage From Drought; Aid Sought 8/3/74 By United Press International South Dakota and Ohio Friday joined the growing list of states seeking federal aid because of a drought that has severely crippled the nation's crop country, causing an estimated $6 billion in losses. Kenneth Rush, President Nixon's chief economic adviser, said the drought also will mean higher prices at the supermarkets. "Food prices will be somewhat higher," he said. "It will not be as good as we had hoped and expected." Administration officials had hoped for bumper crops which could drive down prices. Gov. Richard Kneip of South Dakota and Gov. John J. Gilligan of Ohio asked the federal government to declare portions of their states disaster areas because of drought conditions. Kneip said crop losses are total in some areas and extremely high in other portions of South Dakota. Gilligan said the drought already has destroyed one-third of his state's corn and soybean crop and expressed concern for the farmers. On Thursday, Iowa Gov. Robert D. Ray asked Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz to declare Iowa a disaster area so farmers hit by the drought could seek federal assistance. The state damage estimate, presently at $1.6 billion, will go higher, Ray predicted. The drought picture across the country: * Illinois: Corn crop cut an estimated half a billion bushels; state's crop production down by "25 to 30 per cent." * Indiana: Agriculture experts say state already has lost millions of dollars and if rain came now it could be "too late". * Kansas: State's dry land corn has matured to the point that rain now cannot help it. Farmers predict a $1-billion loss. Many have applied for disaster relief payments. * Missouri: The agriculture commissioner is conducting a statewide survey to determine the extent of the drought. As of now, he said, the farmers are in bad shape. * Nebraska: Damage estimate is $1 billion. One of the first states to seek emergency funds from the federal government. * New Mexico: Gov. Bruce King has declared a state of emergency. Rangeland is in the worst condition since 1922. * Oklahoma: The drought and the cattle-killing disease anthrax has forced farmers to market in hopes of getting what they can--even if it means a loss. * Texas: A $2-billion loss because of the drought. * Wyoming: The hay crop in portions of Wyoming is almost completely lost, and ranchers in some counties have sold 30 per cent of their livestock. Va. Pilot 8/2/74 ## Not Enough Water On the Dave Marple farm south of Topeka, Kan., the milo that was planted over a month ago either has not sprouted or is stunted. If rain fell on this milo crop, Marple could harvest 70 bushels per acre, but the problem is that not enough water is coming down. (AP) Drought # Visions of a Dust Bowl Grow Daily Va. Pilot 8/4/74 McLOUTH, Kan. (UPI) -- John Bower sat sweating atop his creaky, rust-red 1945 tractor and gazed at 80 acres of cornstalks scorched to a sickening orange-yellow from the worst drought in 20 years. "This isn't as bad as the dust bowl days in the 30s," the craggy-faced farmer said, climbing down from the tractor. "At least, it isn't yet. But if we don't get rain in the next 30 days, it will be as bad, if not worse." The tall, soft-spoken farmer wore traditional blue-gray dungarees with a matching hat. His leathery skin was brown from 35 years of working his land. He walked grimly toward a scene that is now a common and disquieting sight in eastern Kansas. Thousands of rows of cornstalks, scorched to death by extreme heat and dry winds, are good only for livestock feed that will bring a few dollars per acre. Bower's 200-acre farm, his home and livelihood since 1939, is tucked among the rolling northeast Kansas hills known for their rich soil and high moisture content. As in most areas of the corn belt, only a few raindrops have pitted the light brown dust since July 3, the only day of significant rain since early June. Bower admitted that he and his neighbors were "spoiled" last year with a good crop and high prices. But most of the financial gains enjoyed last year already have been wiped out by the drought. "Farmers are always in debt to someone," Bower said, shuffling out of his field on a wooden leg caused by a tractor accident several years ago. "For the first time last year, I was able to pay off all my notes at the bank. But this will put me right back where I was before." Bower waved at other fields holding about 100 acres of soybeans and milo -- his only hope left for a break-even year. Those crops develop late in the season, he said, and he planted them as a precaution in case of drought. Rain in the next two weeks would save those crops. Despite the drought that most state officials are now calling a disaster, Bower said he and his farming neighbors aren't ready to quit farming yet. "Most of them have outside jobs," he said. "So they can keep going. But I'm 62 years old, and nobody wants someone my age. I'm too old to do much else than farming." === Page 27 of 62 A12 Virginian-Pilot, Wednesday, August 7, 1974 # Rainfall Touches Midlands By United Press International Gentle rain, the first in 33 days, touched the drought-suffering midlands Tuesday offering hope that at least some crops may be salvaged. Agricultural experts said the rain was too late to save most corn crops, but hoped that it may be just enough to preserve soybean and milo crops, giving farmers a chance at least to break even financially. Fred Ostby of the National Weather Service said the rain was "gentle, the kind needed to gradually soak into the ground without much runoff." Areas touched by rain Tuesday included Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, and Missouri. Kansas and Texas each has reported a $28-billion crop loss so far, and Nebraska $2.2 billion. Other states reporting multimillion or billion-dollar losses include Missouri, North and South Dakota, Oklahoma, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Wyoming. As the rain fell, officials studied ways to aid farmers and ranchers -- suffering through the worst drought since the dust bowl days of the 1930s. Rep. William Scherle, R-Iowa, said if the drought continued Congress would have to pass emergency legislation to provide help to farmers in the form of disaster loans. "Certainly these steps would be mandatory to forestall a catastrophic depression which would wrench our nation," Scherle said. Weather modification as an aid to ending the drought will be discussed Friday at a U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee hearing in Lawton, Okla. "Anyone who is interested in finding ways to prevent or reduce the impact of a drought is invited to attend this hearing," said Sen. Henry Bellmon, R-Okla., who is conducting the session. Oklahoma Gov. David Hall, saying farmers have been "wiped out by this drought," asked that portions of his state be declared disaster areas. === Page 28 of 62 7/29/74 Va.

The county has been declared a disaster area. John Regier, a Weatherford, Okla., cattleman, said: "Hay crops are drying up. Pasture is drying up. If it keeps going then cattle will have to start going down." Without rain in two weeks, he said, he will begin selling cattle at a loss of $50 to $100 a head. Hundreds of people prayed for rain at the First Christian Reform Church in the rich farm town of Sheldon, Iowa, where the minister said there has been no rain to speak of in eight to 12 weeks. Iowa is the nation's second state in popcorn production and it looks like up to 25 per cent of the state's popcorn crop may be lost. Look for higher popcorn prices. PK'd Texas Anthrax, a disease which comes with drought, is killing cattle from Texas to the Dakotas. Crop-killing insect infestations have been reported in the same areas.

(UPI) === Page 30 of 62 SPECIAL REPORT Thomas Hopker-Woodfin Camp A brink-of-death existence in an area as large as the U.S.: Ethiopians devour emergency food rations # Africa's Disastrous Drought By ANDREW JAFFE On the outskirts of Niamey, the capital of Niger, 20,000 nomads cluster in a pocket of disease and pestilence that passes for a refugee camp. The smelly four-day-old carcass of a donkey rots in the sun near the camp's main waterhole, and children-their bellies bulging from untreated parasites-play nearby. "There is almost no malnutrition here," says a complaisant Red Cross worker. But just then several mothers pass by carrying babies with yellowish hair and skin like papier mâché. They are suffering from marasmus-progressive emaciation. At a camp in Dessiye, Ethiopia, 6,000 barefoot peasants huddle together for warmth as they wait for food. Some are half naked; others cling to rags so filthy that they are alive with flies and lice. Many of the children show signs of pneumonia and tuberculosis, and much of the camp is afflicted with crippling diarrhea. To while away the time, the children make long whips out of hemp and then lash each other in cruel delight. In camps across north-central Africa, 1.5 million men, women and children are leading a brink-of-death existence. They are refugees from the great drought that has scourged sixteen African nations for several years (map, page 59). At best the camps provide the barest food and health care; at worst, they are hellholes. But the Africans who inhabit the camps are, in a way, the lucky ones. Another million Africans have already died of hunger and disease. Five to 10 million more are starving in the African bush or the slums of drought-area towns. The African drought is one of the great catastrophes of the twentieth century. And the response of the world community and the African governments themselves has, in many ways, only compounded the tragedy. The drought began in the Sahel-an arid savanna that stretches across six nations on the southern fringe of the Sahara desert. The natives of the Sahel are among the world's poorest people-ragged, cattle-raising nomads and subsistence farmers. When the region's meager rainfall failed in 1968-the result of a change in the global weather pattern-25 million Africans were soon hard pressed for a living. As the brutal dry spell continued and desperate nomads cut down trees and shrubs to feed their starving cattle, the Sahara itself moved southward at a rate of 30 miles a year. Eventually the drought spread east into the provinces of northern Ethiopia. "We have eaten more sand this year than in our thirteen years here," one European missionary in Western Niger told me. "There is not enough vegetation to hold back the desert." Today, in an area the size of the continental U.S., the streams and watersheds of north central Africa are dusty, rocky beds. Even Lake Chad, one of Africa's principal bodies of water, has been reduced to a sea of mud and small ponds. The reaction to the drought is an unedifying tale of official incompetence and inactivity. As herds died, hungry Africans by the hundreds of thousands began to drift to the edges of towns and cities. But the pride-or terror-of the governments concerned kept them from admitting the scope of the problem or sounding a timely alarm. This was particularly true in Ethiopia, where local officials long ago reported to the Cabinet that a northern famine had begun. When frantic men, women and children fleeing drought-stricken Wollo province appeared near Addis Ababa, authorities locked them up and left them to starve. A military coup has since overthrown the government of Ethiopia, and an investigation of this official indifference to the famine is under way. Hushed Up: To make matters worse, the vaunted "early warning system" of the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) first began reporting crop failures and food shortages in the Sahel in September 1972-years after they began. Though by then the situation was critical, it was a full eight months before FAO Director-General A.H. Boerma set Catastrophe in the Sahel: Nomads in Mali sift the desert, grain by grain, for food air-dropped by French Army planes. Alain Noguès-Sygma Newsweek, August 5, 1974 8 === Page 31 of 62 SPECIAL REPORT man Office of Sahelian Relief ons (OSRO) in Rome. In the case opia, fear of offending Emperor Selassie even led U.N. officials to up field reports that drought and ger were affecting millions. Not until last autumn did the FAO nd experts from major industrial states survey the African drought region to determine the needs of each nation. The experts' figures--showing a need for nearly a million tons of food grain--were accurate enough. But the FAO failed to collate the data and organize a shipping schedule for donor nations until last February. Why the delay? OSRO chief J.V.A. Nehemiah's answer was candid if startling. "It's not such a long delay if you take into account that we had to break for the Christmas holiday," he explained. And U.N. coordinator in Niger Alexander Rotival lays blame at the door of the donor nations themselves. "In December and January we had almost no food coming in," he says. "Was it necessary for the donors to wait for us to finish before they started shipping?" This delay has certainly cost lives. And it has increased the relief bill by millions of dollars. In June, for instance, the U.S. began an airlift of grain from Bamako to the wasted region of Mali around Timbuktu. Early this year, when the Niger River was navigable, supplies could have been moved for about $80 per ton. But now Mali's food needs are so urgent that emergency measures have become a necessity. According to the FAO, the airlift the U.S. has organized may come to $900 a ton. And a truck convoy that European nations have dispatched south across the Sahara from Algeria will cost more than $200 a ton. **Badger:** The relief effort that has been mounted is gigantic in scope. More than 120,000 tons of food a month are flowing from the U.S., Europe and Asia to the African interior. A small band of men share credit for finally getting the operation off the ground. One is former U.S. Ambassador to Mali Robert Blake. The State Department has never been overly concerned with the small and nonstrategic nations of north-central Africa, and Blake had to badger Washington for six months to shake loose funds for Malian disaster relief. Stephen Green, an American working for UNICEF, the U.N. children's agency, is the man responsible for first exposing the extent of starvation in northern Ethiopia. (The U.N. has since told Green, in effect, that his career as an international civil servant is probably finished.) And indefatigable Trevor Page, OSRO's 33-year-old British logistics officer, has managed to bully donors into line, break through bottlenecks all over Africa and personally set in motion the trans-Sahara truck convoy across Algeria. But enormous problems remain. The food en route is grossly inadequate for the Africans' needs. And many drought victims are now so weakened from lack of nourishment that they are dying of simple afflictions like diarrhea. In the **Newsweek, August 5, 1974** Henri Bureau--Sygma Too little, too late?: A West German helicopter brings food to Ethiopia Sahara Desert DROUGHT ZONE 3,600 miles AFRICA Atlantic Ocean Don Mackay Famine belt: Only the strong will survive meantime, 200,000 tons of grain are stacked at the ports of West Africa waiting to be distributed. When I toured the area, some of the food had already rotted from improper warehousing. Much of the blame for this lies with the Africans themselves. Recently, for example, the FAO discovered that food bound for Chad was stalled at the Nigeria-Chad border. The reason: the wife of Chad's President owns the national truck monopoly and she wanted to ferry the food into Chad on her own trucks--at twice the going freight rate. Furthermore, current relief projects deal only with short-term needs. In the view of experts, a coordinated master plan for water conservancy and land use is what north-central Africa really needs. That, of course, would be very costly. "What is required is probably $10 billion over a 25-year period," says Dr. Edward Fei, AID's regional coordinator for Africa. One partial solution would be to resettle nomadic tribes on newly developed farmland. But that idea is bound to meet with resistance from the nomads themselves. "We would rather die than leave the desert," the son of one Tuareg chief in Niger told me. Reticent: African governments are not enthusiastic about joint, long-range planning either. Each is pursuing its own interest and when a master plan is suggested, officials react much like Senegal's Planning Minister, Ousmane Seck. "What we are afraid of," says Seck, "is that some of the developed countries will impose priorities on us that only benefit their economies." Within the next few weeks, the need to solve Africa's water crisis will be dramatically highlighted by nature. The scanty rains that annually water the Sahel and neighboring regions will descend in a sudden flood. The torrent will wash out roads--and thus make the delivery of relief even harder. And ironically, if the rainy season amounts to anything this year, it may actually leave the Africans worse off than a continued drought would. For the chances are that a marginal crop will emerge from an extended rainfall. And then the world community, which is already tiring of its $500 million African relief effort, may seize the occasion to ignore the catastrophic drought and its victims. "What worries me," says one British relief worker in Upper Volta, "is that this year's rain may be a bit better. Then interest in the Sahel will dim. And people will forget the African drought before any permanent solution has got started." 59 === Page 32 of 62 (Add to Texas Miracle File) August 5, 1974 SCIENTIST-OBSERVERS Attached is a National Tattler write-up on the "Texas Miracle" I documented some months ago.

Worth airport officials worked up a "whitewash" of the UFO sightings at the airport...then they attacked me and my credibility through a clever ruse, which I have already informed you about. Consider...I predicted in advance...the weather aberrations I would cause to take place...and predicted in advance that a UFO would cause it to happen. The UFO itself was even seen...and photographed... yet I was called a liar, and my credibility attacked. The Watergate in Washington, D.C. --is not the only place where crooked official bureaucracy....would turn your stomach. Dallas, Texas, qualifies. Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens By DELINDA HARRELL Of the Tattler Staff saw colored lights and rotating beacons, he said. "WHEN WE'D SEE one of these appearing to hover or move in usual movements reported for UFOs, we queried the men in the radio cars along the runways to tell us what was taking off or landing," Ford told TATTLER. Other airport operations officers outside the field reported the lights and unidentified aircraft appearing to match previous UFO descriptions given by witnesses, he said. "What all of us saw from several locations did match up with the descriptions of UFOs," he explained. "However, in 99 per cent of the cases, coordinating the information by radio, we discovered our sightings matched those of the takeoffs and landings of Metroflight Airlines' special deHavilland Twin-Otter STOL (short takeoff and landing) airplanes commuting to and from D-FW to Love Field in Dallas. "Or they reported other conventional types of aircraft movements." While the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport operations task force staff resolved most of the sightings in this way, Ford stressed the study shed no light on the sighting that night when Mrs. Hodgson took her photo of the UFO. Neither did it explain the strange craft hovering above the clearing in which the Perez family lives, seen by five witnesses from three different families. THE TASK FORCE could not classify those two sightings, said Ford, who takes a serious interest in UFO reports. "They weren't in D-FW's flight pattern, were sighted too low and acted so differently from the aircraft light sightings we could identify, it can only be concluded the witnesses did see something other than a conventional aircraft or helicopter," he added. Unofficially, Ford and other officials support Mrs. Hodgson's claim that she did spot a UFO on those occasions. "We don't have the answers to those," he said. "And as a matter of safety for the hundreds of airplanes using D-FW in the same immediate area, we have instructed our operations crews and public safety officers to immediately report anything they cannot identify." The investigation of UFO reports at Dallas-Fort Worth will continue on an around-the-clock basis, Ford reiterated. === Page 33 of 62 July 21, 1974 Drs. Fogel, Hynek, Sprinkle, Targ, Eastwood, Arenas. My important work for, and with, the UFO entities...is quickly getting down to the essence. For ten long years I have worked for and with the SI's, but just recently a private citizen, Millie, made it possible for me to do what the U.S. Govt. had neglected to do all along...she delivered me to Europe, where the SI's wanted me to go in person, physically...for reasons known only to the SI's. This trip, just finished, was, according to the SI's, a probe and a "feint" combined. On the trip itself, the SI's reached me and gave me a great deal of instruction with regard to further proceeding. Perhaps you would call it programming. The enclosed report on the trip to my benefactor, Millie, is self-explanatory. (It is being xeroxd, and will actually follow this letter.) As some of you know, the SI's had, years ago, told me that if I could meet with them, according to the conditions that they specified, at various geographical locations in Europe...they would instruct me, or build into my brain (further modification of my brain, which has already been modified by them in the past) various things that would help progress the human race, including information which would help the human race avert a nuclear war. Millie will shortly make it possible for me to return again to Europe... alone this time...and carry out the full and complete assignment for the SI's. It will be a lengthy trip. As the SI's have instructed me, and I have worked out by map -- first I will fly by Air France to Paris, where I will take a train to Limoges (which is south of Paris). In Limoges I will have to hire an interpreter, and rent a car. We will drive down south of Limoges to the old castle (I managed to obtain several photographs of this castle, with a special camera, and will get the photographs to you as soon as possible) where I will make arrangements to spend five nights in/at the castle, from midnight to 5 AM (to give the SI's opportunity to approach and come down to me.) Next, I will return to Paris and take a plane to London, where I will take quarters, rent a car, and hire a driver to accompany me and assist me; someone who knows the area well. The SI's have already instructed me on where to go in England, to meet with them (two different sites, actually; will spend five nights at each site.) Then will return to London, where I will rent a huge lecture hall and invite the public...to acquaint the English full and completely with the SI's and their work. (The SI's have stipulated that this must be done.) Next will fly to Scotland, rent a car, and drive to Loch Ness, where I will attempt to telepath/communicate with the "Loch Ness Monster" and try to get it to emerge from the lake. (This action based upon my brain being half-SI; the Loch Ness Monster, like the Bigfoot being, in my estimation, SI products -- will react to my telepathing to it.) === Page 34 of 62 2 Next will fly to Munich, Germany. Will hire an interpreter there, who will drive the car I will rent...and I will find the correct abandoned old castle and repeat the five night process. Then will return to Munich and give another lecture for the benefit of the German people, done through the interpreter. If funds allow, at this point...will fly to Rio, and repeat the entire process there (for some reason, the SI's feel strongly about Brazil.) Then will fly to Australia, and repeat the entire process there...with the exception that I will give lectures in both Sydney and Melbourne. (The SI's also insist strongly that I go to Australia.) Then I will return home. It will take much time, and energy and effort, on my part...but get it done I will, and according to the SI specifications. I know, deep down, that this entire schedule, after being completed, will benefit the human race infinitely. Changing the subject...for quite some time now...I have been using my UFO-given powers to try and improve the human race; one method has consisted on working to eliminate bad leaders of the human race...war leaders and crime leaders. Many of the top leaders in our own government are out, or going out. Juan Peron, of Argentina, expired around the first part of July. Franco, of Spain, has collapsed, is in hospital, and is on his way out. Golda Meier, of Israel, is out. Premier Caetano of Portugal was thrown out the last part of April. Archbishop Makarios, President of Cyprus, is out. Souvanna Phouma, Premier of Laos, is in the hospital as of last week and is on his way out. And there have been others that the SI's and I have removed. Also crime leaders: Magaddino, one of the very top Mafia bosses, passed away last Friday. The Joseph Colombo, Sr., mafia "family" is being taken apart and investigated by a Federal grand jury...first time in history such a thing has been done. And so it is going...and I am working very hard at it -- using SI powers to separate "the wheat from the chaff"...the bad leaders of the world...and replace them with leaders of peace, intelligence and goodness. Also, happily I have gotten the huge SI craft positioned around this earth to get some recent rains onto Africa...which has helped a great deal there. But more will be needed; more rain there. Texas, which treated PK Man (and the SI's) badly not long ago...is being chewed up by drought and by anthrax plague. I just mention this in passing. Not my doing...but a SI "follow up" on their own. === Page 35 of 62 3 On the recent trip to Paris I gave a very nice demonstration of weather control, by making it rain on Paris. With the sun shining brightly, I told Madame Kitty (who works for the wire services of Le Figaro newspaper there) that I would make it rain on Paris. Later that day, in the apartment of Gary Cooper's daughter, Maria...and her husband, Byron Janis(?)...I worked on the sky and told them how, within days, Paris would have a good drenching. Several days later the skies clouded, and it poured down rain on Paris. Enclosed also is an affidavit from a gentleman who works with nuclear reactors in Canada...confirming that I had just made it rain here in the Norfolk area, before I went to Paris. You probably wonder how I keep going...since the government is of no help and I have no scientific grants as yet. Well, George Delavan, for several years, has steadily pumped in several hundred dollars a month to keep me going. And of course, Millie has just set up the huge European project the SI's have long wanted me to get at. So both of these people must be very precious to the SI's, just as they are to me. Finally, I hope to give you a demonstration. A large one. The control of an entire country. France. As you should know from your files by now...I do not give novel PK demonstrations of bending spoons or rolling pencils around. I control radar installations with my mind; control a city with my mind; control a pro football team with my mind. Quite different altogether, my work, contrasted with other "PK" demonstrators. This demonstration I am going to give will probably last an entire year. Now, you all have my "Cleveland Miracle" file, where I caused extreme heat to strike Cleveland and buckle the sidewalks, breakup swimming pools, etc. And disrupted Cleveland's power supply. I am going to do much the same thing with France (especially Paris and Toulouse). I am going to strike France with both tremendous heat and with storms (which will contain much lightning...but not to injure anyone). I will also attempt to make some hurricanes, and bring them at France (will work to produce a hurricane off the U.S. coast within two weeks of this letter, for a beginning.) And will work to cause strange EM (electromagnetic) effects to attack France...which should affect the power supply there. Am certain...that France will never have experienced anything like this before. (Note: the above might produce many storms and hurricanes around the U.S. as a sort of "side effect" in the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf. My brain has increased its power, exponentially, for quite a long while... and at this point it is much more powerful than some years ago when I accomplished the miracles written about in the Saga articles.) Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 32, Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 Owens === Page 36 of 62 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN This past Thursday (June 20, 1974) Ted Owens (The PK Man - UFO Prophet) drove me to the Norfolk Airport, for me to catch my plane to Canada. Mr. Owens had given me personal training (SI methods) for several days, which had been my purpose in flying down from Canada. Before we entered the Airport, Mr. Owens told me that he would teach me how to make it rain...he pointed up at the sunny, clear sky...and gave me instructions on how to cause a rainstorm when I wished. I might add at this point that it had been hot, sunny and clear during my four days in Virginia...with no indication whatever of inclement weather. Within a short time after Owens had "worked on the sky" for my benefit, to teach me how to make the sky pour rain, and lightning appear... I learn from the enclosed newsclip that rain and lightning appeared in the area that Owens had been "working on" to make rain and lightning appear. I swear that this is a true and accurate statement, to the best of my knowledge. Bernard M.

Pilot, Norfolk, Va. # Power On, Suffolk Area Shakes Off Storm Effects - This storm I made - SUFFOLK--Storm damage to electric power equipment has been restored 100 per cent and full service to customers resumed, according to a Virginia Electric & Power Co. spokesman. The chain of severe thunderstorms which swept through Suffolk Thursday night disrupted service to about 4,250 households in a wide area. Thomas B. Knox, area business manager for Vepco, said the time in which some customers were without service ranged from a few minutes to seven hours. Crews worked throughout the night restoring power, he said. Knox said the damage ranged from transformers knocked out by lightning to one complete circuit out at the Driver substation, leaving about 1,600 customers in the Driver and Bennett's Creek areas without service for a little more than seven hours. About 1,520 customers in the Chuckatuck, Hobson, Eclipse, and Crittenden areas were without service, he said, when a tree fell across a primary line at Reid's Ferry about 9 p.m. The storm also brought a heavy rainfall. The Lake Kilby pumping station reported 2.86 inches, and just a few miles further west at the Tidewater Research Center at Holland the precipitation was measured at 2.42 inches. In the Smithfield area, a utility shed near Benns Church was struck by lightning and burned. No further property damage was reported there. A spokesman for the Suffolk Fire Department said 12 calls were answered between 4:07 and 10:50 p.m. He said 10 were storm-related. W. Randolph Robinson, local Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co. manager, said 120 telephones in Suffolk were put out of order because of lightning damage to cables. "Crews worked all night," he said, "and are still on the job today making repairs." He said he hoped to have all the damaged cables repaired by late Friday night. If all customer service is not restored by that target time, the company is prepared to work through the night and into today, he said. === Page 37 of 62 July 20, 1974 United States North Atlantic Ocean England Germany Spain France Hurricanes Power Blackouts EM effects Storms Drought === Page 38 of 62 The Cabinet In Portugal Is Moderate Left NY Times 7/21/74 Charged by President Antonio de Spinola with enforcing greater "social and civic discipline," Portugal's new, military-dominated Government has taken office against a background of continued unrest at home and stepped-up violence in the nation's African colonies. Heading the regime is Col. Vasco dos Santos Goncalves, the Premier. President Spinola, in introducing the new Cabinet, referred to Colonel Goncalves as "the brain" behind the April 25 coup that toppled Portugal's 50-year-old dictatorship, headed in its final days by Premier Marcello Caetano. The general tone of the Cabinet is moderately left. Its major task will be to deal with the country's 30 per cent inflation rate and general business depression. And it will have to try to reconcile the problems in Africa. Seven key posts in the new government, almost half the total, went to military men. But the Communist party's secretary general, Alvaro Cunhal, will stay on as a Minister Without Portfolio; he loses control of the Labor Ministry. And the Socialist leader, Mario Soares, who has been in charge of negotiating with rebel leaders from Mozambique, Angola and Guinea-Bissau, remains as Foreign Minister. In Mozambique, African guerrillas last week blew up a section of the Tete railway line which links Beira, the colony's main port, with the giant Cabora Bassa Dam which the Portuguese are rushing to completion. Since June 26, the line has been sabotaged three times, seriously delaying work on the dam. In Angola, the shooting of a white taxi driver in the capital, Luanda, two weeks ago, touched off riots that left seven people dead. Last week new demonstrations were broken up by troops and in the ensuing melee, 20 more people were reported dead. By ALVIN SHUSTER ATHENS--For an island about half as big as the State of New Jersey and with a population of 640,000, Cyprus has given the world more than enough problems over the years. Sitting south of Turkey in the eastern Mediterranean, it has been racked by violence between ethnic Turks and Greeks, figured prominently in domestic politics in Ankara and Athens, monopolized the attention of the United Nations and caused concern in the North Atlantic alliance and in Moscow. It has been a problem for so long that many Greeks and Turks outside of the island are weary of hearing about it. A Greek editor said here the other day that even in the days before censorship a Cyprus headline ensured a drop in circulation. Yet to the people of Cyprus and to the governments of Greece and Turkey, among others, it is a genuine problem that arises out of a tangled and complex history spanning centuries. Peace there has always been a sometime thing and, as was the case this weekend, Greece and Turkey have come close to war over the island on several occasions. As so often in the past, the present crisis stems from the traditional desire of ethnic Greek Cypriotes and elements in Athens for Enosis, or union with Greece. It is a cry long heard, before and after the island passed from Turkish rule to the British in 1878, during its days as a Crown colony, after 1960, when it gained its status as an independent state where ethnic Greeks outnumber the ethnic Turks by four to one. The goal, reflecting the historical insistence of Athens that it is the national center of Hellenism, underlies Ankara's fears for the safety of the ethnic Turks. It has been at the root of the communal violence that forced the United Nations to send in a peace-keeping force 10 years ago and turned the island into an armed camp with makeshift barriers still blocking movement between Greek and Turkish sectors. For years, Archbishop Makarios, deposed as President in Monday's coup by the Greek-led National Guard of Cyprus, led the determined campaign to bring about union. But it was his conversion to a more "realistic" policy to maintain independence and work to unite the warring communities that led to his downfall. In public, union with Greece remained his ultimate objective. But he felt that it was no longer attainable because it would lead to war with Turkey, and that Cyprus was better off anyway as an independent sovereign state than as a province of Greece. Despite all the traditional emotions, the 60-year-old priest and statesman appeared to have convinced many of the Greeks in Cyprus that his course was right. The Turkish minority remained suspicious and unconvinced but talks between Greek and Turkish Cypriotes over the political structure of the country continued. To the nationalist-minded, rigidly anti-Communist military rulers now in power here--those who last November toppled President George Papadopoulos--the Archbishop was selling out. Moreover, they worried about his strong support from the Cypriote Communist party, his flirtations with Moscow and his highly publicized state visit to Peking in May. The plot to dislodge him unfolded and grew more urgent when the Archbishop, sensing trouble, NY Times 7/21/74 === Page 39 of 62 * Also... see Makarios and others (Golda Meir, Caetano, etc) NY Times 7/21/74 The World In Summary # Juan Carlos, Franco's Heir, Steps In Generalissimo Francisco Franco, Spain's ruler for 35 years, is seriously ill in a Madrid clinic and has delegated his powers to Prince Juan Carlos de Borbón, the 36-year-old heir to a throne that has been vacant since 1931. In transferring power to Prince Juan Carlos, General Franco acted under a law which states that during the absence or illness of the chief of state, the royal heir will assume his duties. But there was a strong feeling in the Spanish political world, already excited by the recent overthrow of the dictatorship in Portugal, that a long and bitter era in Spanish history was ending. The general belief was that Francoism without Franco was impossible. There has long been hostility to the Franco regime, not only among the Basque and Catalonian separatist movements in the north, but also among liberal politicians and intellectuals. Now, like Portugal's, Spain's economy is a prominent victim of the worldwide inflation and economic recession. In a country used to full employment for years, there are already 80,000 unemployed and one estimate says the number of jobless will rise to 300,000. The result: growing social malaise. The 81-year-old General was admitted to the clinic two weeks ago for treatment of phlebitis and his condition had been improving. But last week his doctors said he suffered a "setback" caused by "gastric complications." It was believed that anticoagulants, administered to relieve bloodclots in the leg, had caused internal hemorrhaging. Later, the general's condition improved again but still gave cause for anxiety. Tomorrow Prince Juan Carlos will mark the fifth anniversary of his designation as General Franco's successor carrying the title of King. The last King was Alfonso XIII, who abdicated in 1931 in favor of a republic. The prince's father, Don Juan, who disagreed politically with General Franco, lives in exile in Lisbon. General Franco's decision to bypass Don Juan in favor of his son caused bitterness within the royal family. But the Generalissimo persisted and saw to it that the young prince was educated in the traditions of Francoism. Up to now, his duties have been largely ceremonial but last week he began his new role by signing a joint Spanish-American declaration of defense principles similar to one recently signed in Brussels by the United States and other North Atlantic Treaty Organization members. # Left and Right in Laos, They Wait By JAMES M. MARKHAM VIENTIANE--The Chinese came last. By the time they got there, cardiologists from the United States, Thailand, France and the Soviet Union were already huddling around the bedside of Prince Souvanna Phouma, the 72-year-old Premier of Laos, who had been stricken by a heart attack. The medical prognosis for the Premier, which was still uncertain, would also be a political prognosis for Laos and for the fragile three-month-old coalition between the Communist-oriented Pathet Lao and the American-supported Vientiane side. It has been the neutralist Prince Souvanna who has held the fractious arrangement together, tacking between left and right and, more often than not, making concessions to the Pathet Lao that angered the right. At the moment, neither the Pathet Lao nor the right seemed eager to sunder the coalition. The last months in Laos have been truly peaceful. The only real alternative to coalition is war, which nobody wants. The symbolism of the polyglot medical team caring for the Premier was reassuring, too. Laos has tried coalitions twice before--in 1957 and 1962--but they shattered under the pressures of the cold war and the Vietnam war. Today, everyone wishes the coalition well: if it fails, it will not be for want of international support. === Page 40 of 62 7/21/74 THE NEW YORK TIMES, # Franco Said to Fight Back After Hemorrhage Alarm ## General Reported Walking and Taking Nourishment; Government Stresses Successful Transfer of Power By HENRY GINIGER Special to The New York Times MADRID, July 20--Generalissimo Francisco Franco, ailing since July 9 with phlebitis, appeared today to be fighting back against the effects of the internal bleeding that suddenly developed yesterday morning. The alarm that led to a temporary transfer of power to the 81-year-old General's designated successor, Prince Juan Carlos de Borbón, subsided somewhat after doctors reported the hemorrhaging that had caused him to vomit blood had been able to take nourishment normally. The six-man medical team even had him walking this morning. The medical bulletin, issued shortly after noon, was more explicit than previous ones in acknowledging that doctors were fighting against both phlebitis and thrombosis in the right thigh. The effort to inhibit blood clots had apparently provoked hemorrhages and it remained to be seen whether the effort to stop the bleeding would not in turn bring about new clots. ### Air of Crisis Reduced Officials and supporters of the regime that General Franco had led for 33 years until yesterday, continued to stream in and out of the private clinic in northern Madrid, which is part of a vast hospital complex that bears his name. But the atmosphere of crisis lifted to a large degree and Carmen Franco, who has remained beside her husband in an adjoining room, was able to leave the hospital for a while. The press, responding to express Government wishes that it contribute to public tranquility, emphasized how well the constitutional provisions for temporary transfer had worked and how the General had prudently left "no loose ends" in the process of continuity. Although some military and police precautions are believed to have been taken, there were no reports of the kind of incidents that might have been provoked by an event that made the Spanish people more conscious than ever of the fragility of there aged leader. ### Emergency Measures Withheld Officials are acting now much as they acted during the emergency last December when General Franco's most trusted aide, Premier Luis Carrero Blanco, was assassinated. Now, as then, the solidity of the regime -- no matter how vulnerable those who lead it may be -- is the dominant theme. Consequently the Government has refrained from any spectacular emergency measures. Although the political system is opposed by a large number of Spaniards, neither in December nor now has any important opposition group made any overt attempt to profit from the circumstances. The assassination of Mr. Carrero Blanco by a small group presumed to consist of Basque terrorists has remained an isolated act. The present calm indicates that the 36-year-old acting chief of state will have no serious political difficulties at least until the country knows the outcome of the General's illness. Third World for the next twenty years. Perón himself took care of the nationalism; his second wife, María Eva Duarte, a fiery former actress, carried the message of economic justice to the masses. "Perón Cumple" (Perón delivers) said the wall posters, and to a degree he did. He bettered the lot of the Argentine workers, creating a strong trade-union movement and giving them better wages, social security and a sense of dignity. Even today, Juan and "Evita" are remembered in remote villages because the Eva Perón Foundation sent a sewing machine to a cripple or a bicycle to a poor child. Hysteria: Evita died of cancer in 1952 at the age of 33--and her death traumatized Argentina. Sixteen people died in the crush to view her body, and thousands were treated for hysteria. Argentines prayed to her photograph and some of her followers asked Pope Pius XII to canonize her. As for Perón, he kept her embalmed body in a coffin in his residence. Perón also bankrupted the nation--morally, politically and economically. Government under the smooth and wily general meant the steady growth of a highly centralized dictatorship. Political opponents were hounded into silence or prison; the courts and universities were purged; newspapers were muzzled or put out of business. Perhaps Perón's most damaging weakness was his monumental inability to understand the simplest economics. In 1955, his fellow military men--egged on by the country's old ruling class and by prelates scandalized by Peronist legislation legalizing prostitution and divorce--moved against Perón. ![Perón and Evita, 1952: A marriage of politics and charisma] Perón and Evita, 1952: A marriage ********** July 15, 1974 Newsweek === Page 41 of 62 NEW YORK TIMES, SUNDAY, JULY 21, 1974 # S. Jury Examining Colombo Family Racketeer-Influenced Organization For the first time, the structure of an organized-crime family is being examined by a Federal grand jury as though it were a noncriminal organization that became infiltrated by racketeers, Federal law enforcement sources have disclosed. The grand jury, in Brooklyn, is investigating the Mafia family of Joseph A. Colombo Sr. under a section of the criminal statutes that has been used in the past to look at racketeer influence in unions, businesses and other legitimate organizations. In the past, mobsters have been prosecuted for the commission of specific crimes and for infiltration of legitimate organizations. But they have not been examined by grand juries for the way they relate to each other within a crime syndicate. Nor have they been prosecuted for their involvement in a crime syndicate. Already the Brooklyn investigation has led to the jailing of the man whom Federal authorities believe to be the current head of the Colombo family, Thomas Salvatore Di Bella, a retired longshoreman. **Main Advantage Noted** According to Denis E. Dillon, the former chief of the Brooklyn strike force against organized crime, the grand jury's approach could lead to indictments of Colombo family members "for involvement in a racketeer-influenced organization." by 1971 he was listed by the police as a soldier in the Colombo family. Several law-enforcement sources said Mr. Di Bella's recent rise to a leadership position indicated that the more powerful bosses, such as Mr. Gambino and Mr. Persico, were not pleased with the younger generation's style and wanted a reversion to the older, more discreet sort of family boss. But others were of the opinion that Mr. Di Bella was picked because he was not powerful and hence would be submissive to Carlo Gambino. According to the sources, no provision has been made for his replacement while he serves his term for contempt.  NY Times 7/21/74 # Stefano Magaddino Dead at 82; Reputed Upstate Crime Leader By EMANUEL PERLMUTTER The body of Stefano Magaddino, the reputed upstate New York crime boss who was one of the last of the original national "commission members" who had ruled the American Mafia in the last 30 years, lay in his own Niagara Falls funeral chapel yesterday. He died Friday of a heart ailment at the age of 82. Floral wreaths kept arriving all day. Don Stefano, as he was known to associates, was said by the Justice Department to have headed organized crime in the area from Western New York into the Ohio Valley and Canada. Once one of the most feared of Mafia leaders, he had been in semiretirement for the last three years and could occasionally be seen playing with his grandchildren in the back yard of his home in Lewiston, N.Y. His Mafia "family" is now believed to be ruled by Russell Bufalino, the reputed organized crime boss of northeastern Pennsylvania. Mr. Magaddino's power began to wane about five years ago after law enforcement officials raided the apartment of his son, Peter A., in Niagara Falls and found $521,000 in a suitcase under his bed. The members of the Magaddino crime "family" had been unhappy over dwindling illicit  heroin smuggling between 1950 and 1960 in France, Italy, Canada and the United States. Five years ago, the Justice Department listed Mr. Magaddino as one of the four members still left of the nine men who had once ruled the Mafia as its national board of governors. In addition to Mr. Magaddino, they include Carlo Gambino of Brooklyn-now reputed to be the "boss of bosses" of the syndicate; Angel- === Page 42 of 62 August 1, 1974 Scientist-Observers: this report about Germany... further carries out my report to you that I, and the SI's, are changing the world's (and the US) weather. Interloping west wind # Germany's bad summer imported from U.S. By BERT LINDLER Staff writer HAMBURG (S&S) -- One of Germany's coolest, wettest summers in 100 years swept in unexpectedly from America, said a German meteorologist here. The west wind which is blowing air masses from America to Europe is normal in winter, but extremely unusual in the summer, said Dr. Elisabeth Kleissen, a meteorologist with the German weather service. These air masses cool off as they pass over the Atlantic, Dr. Kleissen said, and bring cool weather, rain and thundershowers when they reach Europe. This type of summer weather system, which first developed on June 27, is just one of two or three that have been recorded in the past 100 years, she said. No change in the weather should be expected within the next few days, Dr. Kleissen said, but she wouldn't venture a guess as to when the system would move out. "We don't understand why the air masses moved this way, so it's difficult for us to predict what they're likely to do next," she said. The effect of this cold mass of Atlantic air -- rain and storm weather -- was further intensified by a northward shift of hot tropical air, Dr. Kleissen said. You have storms when hot air meets cold air, she said, and the greater the difference in temperature, the more violent the storms. Normally the European air mass, some 9 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the tropical, meets the tropical air mass over the Mediterranean. The storms take place over the sea. Now, the tropical air mass has extended several hundred miles northward to the southern edge of the Alps. The difference in temperature is 18 to 27 degrees greater than normal because of the cool Atlantic air mass over Germany. The result: cold, rainy weather just when vacationers are looking forward to sun and tan. And, at least in this case, Americans should be cautious when complaining about the European weather. This system is an American import. And the following... further shows you... how I, and the SI's, are taking out tyrannical dictators the world over... to replace them with better men.

Mr. Leblanc, 50 years old, who became chief minister when Dominica was still a British colony in 1962, sent his letter of resignation to the Governor, Sir Louis Cools-Lartigue. Mr. Leblanc also resigned his seat in Parliament. The resignation came as no surprise to the 75,000 people on the banana-producing island. Less than two weeks ago Mr. Leblanc revealed his disenchantment with politics in the country after stepping down as leader of the ruling Labor party. NY Times 1974 ## Chou Is Reported Out of Hospital PEKING, July 27 (Reuters) -- Premier Chou En-lai has left the hospital and is making a good recovery from his recent illness, diplomatic sources have said today. Ill health forced the 76-year-old Premier to reduce his official duties in early May and he is reported to have suffered a heart attack about a month later. The Premier apparently left the hospital shortly before a meeting on July 20 with a visiting Niger delegation on establishing diplomatic links between the two countries. Observers here believe that Mr. Chou will still rely heavily on his deputy Premiers even after his recovery, although he may retain the post of Premier, a position he has held for a quarter of a century. === Page 43 of 62 The Great Drought Va. Pilot Aug 22, 1974 # New England Lacks Rain By United Press International Parts of New England Wednesday were in the grip of the worst drought in 27 years, hard on the heels of a two-month drought in the Midwest that cut projected grain harvests. Farmers in Maine and New Hampshire have been ravaged by the drought, which has cut deeply into northern New England's three-month growing season. Corn and hay are expected to be in short supply by winter, and the price of milk probably will rise, said New Hampshire Agriculture Commissioner Howard Townsend. Vegetable gardens have been damaged. Forestry officials in coastal New Hampshire have imposed bans in some state forests on camp fires and cigarette smoking, closed other parks, increased smoke watching flights, and placed fire towers on alert. "Everybody that I talk to feels we are sitting on a powder keg and just wondering where the big one's going to start," said Jack Sargent, chief of New Hampshire forest-fire control. Thundershowers last weekend were the only substantial rain in the area in nine weeks, and officials said that by the weekend the forest-fire danger will be at its worst all summer. Some stretches of the Maine coast have been parched by the long hot summer, but officials so far have not imposed restrictions on forest use. Fire last week blackened seven acres of Maine's Acadia National Park in the worst forest fire since 1947, when 1,000 acres of Mt. Desert Island burned. Vermont authorities said dry conditions there have not reached drought proportions. In the Midwest, rains eased the drought situation but brought with it temperatures so low that farmers in the nation's breadbasket were faced with a new worry. Drought-stunted crops are maturing slower than usual, agricultural officials said, and face danger of being killed by premature fall frosts. Wednesday morning, temperatures dipped to a record low of 45 degrees at Denver, Colo., and to record-tying levels of 45 at Scottsbluff, Neb., and 38 at Sheridan, Wyo. Rain throughout August helped soybeans and row crops such as grain sorghum, but agriculture experts in Nebraska and Iowa warned that crops slowed by the drought need time and good fall weather if they are to mature before the first killing frosts. A special report issued early this week by the Agriculture Department in Washington said that, while the rains ended the Midwestern drought, they did not significantly improve the projected corn harvest. The department predicted that the 1974 corn crop would be 12 per cent below last year and the soybean crop down 16 per cent. The next full-scale crop assessment is expected Sept. 11. Gentlemen - Perhaps you thought I was jesting about the world drought and U.S. drought. The midwest is racked up; worst in New England in 27 years - and it will get worse! And that, gentlemen, is where I will step in... Owens PK Man === Page 44 of 62 The News and Observer, Raleigh, N. C. Sunday, September 22, 1974 # U. S. Seeks to Aid Gloomy World Food Picture New York Times News Service WASHINGTON -- Secretary of State Kissinger faces an awesome task at the United Nations Monday. He is expected to provide specifics on United States plans for food aid to a world in which few truths that he can provide are likely to be palatable. President Ford had assigned him the task last Wednesday, telling the United Nations that Kissinger would "present in specifics the overall principles that I will outline." Ford went on to give the following promise: "To make certain that the more immediate needs for food are met this year, the United States will not only maintain the amount it spends for food shipments to nations in need but it will increase this amount this year." Aides worked into the weekend, searching and researching to find the means to put the best possible face on a gloomy food picture. But no matter how they turned it, the hard facts came out the same, and they are these: World grain production this year will fall more than 25 million tons below last year's crops -- an amount more than equal the average provisions for 100 million people in hungry nations -- in a world that has added about 65 million to its population. And the United States, with total grain production this year of about 206 million tons and expected exports of about 50 million tons, would have little more to give to aid the world's 400 million undernourished and starving people than the 3.2 million it provided in the 1973-74 fiscal year -- and perhaps less. Details of what the Agriculture Department calls a "sobering picture" emerge from interviews with officials and a study of many of the department's reports and working papers. All the producing countries of the world will produce 941.9 million tons of grain in the 1974-75 marketing year, according to the best judgments and projections. That was 27 million tons less than the world consumed in the year ended June 30, 1974. Because the world had about 106 million tons of grain supplies carried over at the beginning of the year, its people will be able to eat a little more than they produce, but are still expected to consume about 25 million tons less than they did last year. Much of the "carryover" stocks of 104 million tons projected for the end of this marketing year are "pipeline" supplies in transit and in storage and much of the remainder is simply too high priced or in the wrong place to succor the millions of the world's needy. Thus, they are expected to bear the brunt of most of the 25 million ton reduction in world consumption. When rice production is added, the world tonnage total projected is 1,249.8 million tons, compared with 1,276.4 million last year. ### In India The grimmest part of the picture is developing in India, where uneven monsoons have brought heavy rains to eastern areas but left vast areas of the interior parched and dry. The latest Department of Agriculture reports indicates that this year's wheat crop there has fallen about 2.5 million tons below the 24.9 million tons produced last year. At the same time the rice harvest is expected to fall about two million tons short of last year's 65 million tons, while prospects for coarse grains and peanuts are said to have been "crippled" by the drought in central India. In Eastern Europe, meanwhile, harvest prospects are down about 5 per cent from the 87 million tons produced for the last two years. Although wheat production is about the same as last year's 30 million tons, rye production and corn have declined. In any event, Eastern Europe will have no excess to contribute to world needs. Instead, the area will increase imports. Western Europe will have an increase of about four million tons in total grain production, despite deduced rainfall in northern areas. The rise in production is largely a result of increased acreage and better cropping conditions in the Mediterranean area. The net result is likely to be a 84.7 million for Western Europe, and 52 million for Eastern Europe. Among others, Canada's projection is 18.7 million tons, Argentina 17.8 million, South Africa 9.7 million, Australia 5.2 million, Thailand 2.7 million and all other foreign production 131.7 million. The world production compares with last year's 599.1 million tons and consumption last of 604.8 million tons. For rice, no similarly detailed picture is available for the 1974-75 crop year, but the total output is projected at 305 million tons, compared with last year's estimated tonnage of 309.7 million tons. Among all the facts available in the world food picture one final stark reality stands out. It is this: On the basis of the Agriculture Department's long-term trend calculation, world grain consumption is growing 1.5 million tons a year faster than world grain production. ### In Canada Canada, meanwhile, expects to produce about a million tons of wheat less than she did last year. In summary, this is the outlook for the world's major crops: Wheat -- World production is projected at 360.5 million tons, with 95 million to come from the Soviet Union, 52.8 million from Western Europe, 50.1 million from the United States, 31.2 million from Eastern Europe, 16.2 million from Argentina and 73.7 million from all other countries. The total of 360.5 million compares with last year's production of 367.8 million tons and last year's consumption of 364.2 million tons. ### Other Crops Feed grains -- The projected world production of 581.4 million tons is led by the United States 158.9 million tons, 100 million for the Soviet Union.

Worth area were scared witless...both from my radio broadcasts from my home in Virginia to the Dallas station, and from the appearance of the UFO in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area in perfect timing with my radio broadcasts in which I flatly stated that a UFO was producing the phenomena the miraculous happenings going on at that time in Texas...which I also predicted would happen in advance. So...the Dallas-Ft. Worth airport officials worked up a "whitewash" of the UFO sightings at the airport...then they attacked me and my credibility through a clever ruse, which I have already informed you about. Consider...I predicted in advance...the weather aberrations I would cause to take place...and predicted in advance that a UFO would cause it to happen. The UFO itself was even seen...and photographed... yet I was called a liar, and my credibility attacked. The Watergate in Washington, D.C. --is not the only place where crooked official bureaucracy....would turn your stomach. Dallas, Texas, qualifies. Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens By DELINDA HARRELL Of the Tattler Staff saw colored lights and rotating beacons, he said. "WHEN WE'D SEE one of these appearing to hover or move in usual movements reported for UFOs, we queried the men in the radio cars along the runways to tell us what was taking off or landing," Ford told TATTLER. Other airport operations officers outside the field reported the lights and unidentified aircraft appearing to match previous UFO descriptions given by witnesses, he said. "What all of us saw from several locations did match up with the descriptions of UFOs," he explained. "However, in 99 per cent of the cases, coordinating the information by radio, we discovered our sightings matched those of the takeoffs and landings of Metroflight Airlines' special deHavilland Twin-Otter STOL (short takeoff and landing) airplanes commuting to and from D-FW to Love Field in Dallas. "Or they reported other conventional types of aircraft movements." While the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport operations task force staff resolved most of the sightings in this way, Ford stressed the study shed no light on the sighting that night when Mrs. Hodgson took her photo of the UFO. Neither did it explain the strange craft hovering above the clearing in which the Perez family lives, seen by five witnesses from three different families. THE TASK FORCE could not classify those two sightings, said Ford, who takes a serious interest in UFO reports. "They weren't in D-FW's flight pattern, were sighted too low and acted so differently from the aircraft light sightings we could identify, it can only be concluded the witnesses did see something other than a conventional aircraft or helicopter," he added. Unofficially, Ford and other officials support Mrs. Hodgson's claim that she did spot a UFO on those occasions. "We don't have the answers to those," he said. "And as a matter of safety for the hundreds of airplanes using D-FW in the same immediate area, we have instructed our operations crews and public safety officers to immediately report anything they cannot identify." The investigation of UFO reports at Dallas-Fort Worth will continue on an around-the-clock basis, Ford reiterated. === Page 47 of 62 THE NATIONAL # TATTLER 25¢ A The Most Respected Name in People-To-People Journalism # Alarmed Officials Hunt UFOs At the World's Largest Airport -Page 7 VOL. 21, NO. 2 JULY 14, 1974 Airfield Official Refuses to Ignore Repeated Sightings There # World's Biggest Airport Sends out a Team Nightly to Check for UFOs Among Big Jets Officials at the world's largest airport have formed a task force to investigate unidentified flying objects showing up in their flight patterns. Operations officer Fred C. Ford of Dallas-Fort Worth Airport formed the group after a 10-day wave of periodic UFO reports from residents of Grapevine, Tex., a small city a few miles to the northwest. The task force now mans radio-equipped cars at night to try to trace down the source of the UFOs, which appear four and five times in an evening. Grapevine residents first reported the sightings to officials at the airport's Federal Aviation Administration control tower and later to the FAA Southwest Regional Headquarters, Fort Worth. Mrs. Sandra Hodgson, 36, a medical technician, who lives in a new townhouse complex three miles west of the airport boundaries, was the first to make a report. After noticing strange lights for six to eight months above the 17,500-acre field, which opened Jan. 1, 1974, she called the FAA, Ford and her local newspaper. REPORTERS visited Mrs. Hodgson and found she had taken a photo of a UFO in the air. It did not fit any Dallas-Fort Worth flight pattern and its altitude was only 60 feet. After seeing more of the strange lights on succeeding nights, she was joined by Debbie Carter, 17, a friend, when they took Mrs. Hodgson's car and followed the slow-moving light, which flew over a wooded area, she reported. "When we got about a mile into the woods, the UFO was hovering over a clearing, shining a very bright spotlight down into the clearing," she told TATTLER. "Standing there watching it were Mr. and Mrs. (Lucio) Perez and his brother Leonardo. "They were frightened. So was I, but I think they (people in the UFO) are seriously trying to contact humans. "I BELIEVE they come from another planet and are greatly advanced technically," she said. Hearing such reports repeated, Ford organized his UFO-hunting team. "We weren't debunking possibilities of UFOs existing," he told TATTLER. "But in this case, we wanted to seriously try and pin down exactly what it was the people were seeing. "It was becoming obvious. All of the reports were not just imagination." Ford stationed radio cars along the west runway and others in strategic areas two to four miles west of the airport. Then he joined Mrs. Hodgson and Miss Carter in their nightly UFO watch. After spending but two hours in the remote area, Ford saw something flashing the same lights residents were reporting as UFOs. They appeared to be similar to the UFO lights being reported and looked as if they were hovering.

With the sun shining brightly, I told Madame Kitty (who works for the wire services of Le Figaro newspaper there) that I would make it rain on Paris. Later that day, in the apartment of Gary Cooper's daughter, Maria...and her husband, Byron Janis(?)...I worked on the sky and told them how, within days, Paris would have a good drenching. Several days later the skies clouded, and it poured down rain on Paris. Enclosed also is an affidavit from a gentleman who works with nuclear reactors in Canada...confirming that I had just made it rain here in the Norfolk area, before I went to Paris. You probably wonder how I keep going...since the government is of no help and I have no scientific grants as yet. Well, George Delavan, for several years, has steadily pumped in several hundred dollars a month to keep me going. And of course, Millie has just set up the huge European project the SI's have long wanted me to get at. So both of these people must be very precious to the SI's, just as they are to me. Finally, I hope to give you a demonstration. A large one. The control of an entire country. France. As you should know from your files by now...I do not give novel PK demonstrations of bending spoons or rolling pencils around.

This demonstration I am going to give will probably last an entire year. Now, you all have my "Cleveland Miracle" file, where I caused extreme heat to strike Cleveland and buckle the sidewalks, breakup swimming pools, etc. And disrupted Cleveland's power supply. I am going to do much the same thing with France (especially Paris and Toulouse). I am going to strike France with both tremendous heat and with storms (which will contain much lightning...but not to injure anyone). I will also attempt to make some hurricanes, and bring them at France (will work to produce a hurricane off the U.S. coast within two weeks of this letter, for a beginning.) And will work to cause strange EM (electromagnetic) effects to attack France...which should affect the power supply there. Am certain...that France will never have experienced anything like this before. (Note: the above might produce many storms and hurricanes around the U.S. as a sort of "side effect" in the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf. My brain has increased its power, exponentially, for quite a long while...and at this point it is much more powerful than some years ago when I accomplished the miracles written about in the Saga articles.)

At 6 p.m. EDT, the San Juan weather bureau pinpointed the storm near latitude 10.0 north, longitude 45.5 west or about 375 miles due east of Trinidad. This was about 950 miles southeast of Puerto Rico. The storm was pushing heavy seas of around 15 feet ahead of it, and the weather bureau warned the seas would hit the exposed eastern coast of Trinidad and Tobago and spread westward to the Grenadines Wednesday. The weather bureau ordered posting of gale warnings and a hurricane watch on the Windward Islands of Trinidad, Tobago, the Grenadines, St. Vincent, and Barbados at the southeastern edge of the Caribbean. Alma was discovered by a hurricane hunter plane which had been sent out to check on the disturbance. The storm grew out of a tropical depression which had been tracked by satellite across the mid-Atlantic for the past three days. Alma is racing westward at about 24 m.p.h. Forecasters said it would continue its course and speed for the next 12 to 18 hours. Gale winds extended 75 miles to the north of the center and 25 miles to the south. Alma is likely to attain hurricane strength of 75 m.p.h winds before reaching the islands, the weather bureau said. "In its present track and motion, the center of the storm will be passing between the islands of Trinidad and Tobago early Wednesday morning and will continue westward, approaching the Grenada area during the day," forecasters said. "It is moving unusually rapidly for this time of year and location," said Dr. Neil Frank, director of the National Hurricane Center at Miami, who conferred with forecasters in Puerto Rico on the first storm advisory. Frank said the storm was likely to intensify before reaching the islands that form the eastern fringe of the Caribbean sea. The hurricane watch order was issued so residents could keep in close contact with Alma's progress. <== MY STORMS ARE ALWAYS UNUSUAL!

PILOT, NORFOLK AUG. 21, 1974 # Betting Scandal Hits NFL NEW YORK (UPI) -- A stunning gambling scandal, involving the former team physician of the New York Giants, rocked the National Football League Tuesday with the indictment of two known gamblers in a $1 million betting ring. A 40-count indictment against Thomas Musto, 65, of New York and Michael Astarita, 47, of Hillsdale, N.J., was returned in Manhattan supreme court. Both men were taken into custody under the indictment, which contained a total of 40 counts on gambling and criminal conspiracy. The court papers also mentioned the involvement of Dr. Anthony Pisani, who for 10 years was chief orthopedic surgeon for the Giants before resigning last month. Astarita and Musto, who were said by one source to have had a yearly handle of $26 million from which they grossed close to $1.5 million, were arraigned before acting Supreme Court Justice Irving Lang and pleaded innocent to the 40-count conspiracy and promoting gambling indictment. They were paroled without bail for a hearing scheduled Sept. 23. Dr. Pisani was not charged because, according to sources close to the two-year investigation, he cooperated fully in the investigation. Pisani tendered his resignation after NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle and Giant president Wellington Mara were informed he was involved in an investigation. Musto was a "soldier" in the Vito Genovese crime family, while Astarita was associated with the late Thomas (Tommy Ryan) Eboli, who was once the manager of boxer Rocky Castellani. Manhattan district attorney Richard Kuh declined comment on why no action was taken against Pisani, saying only that "It is not the practice of this office to go beyond the scope of the indictment." While Kuh would only offer a "no comment" when asked if Pisani had cooperated in the investigation, Greg Perrin, Pisani's lawyer, said his client had become "unfortunately involved through his acquaintance with Musto and Astarita, who were his patients for a period of years. The doctor is not involved in any way with any wrongdoing." According to the conspiracy count in the indictment, Musto and Astarita were involved in some of these "overt acts:" "1. On or about Oct. 4, 1973, Thomas Musto and Michael Astarita conferred with Dr. Anthony Pisani about the physical condition of Ron Johnson (Giant fullback). "2. On or about Oct. 6, 1973, Michael Astarita called the office of Dr. Anthony Pisani. "3. On or about Oct. 12, 1973, Thomas Musto refused to discuss the football line with a certain individual stating 'I want to speak to the doctor first to find out what he knows about injuries.'" Kuh said the indictment covered a period from September, 1973, to December, 1973, although the actual investigation had been going on for more than a year. At NFL headquarters, a spokesman issued a terse statement which said that the league office had been aware of the New York City Police Department investigation for some time, but had been unable to come up with any information to help the probe. According to the indictment, Musto and Astarita had "agreed to confer on a regular basis with Pisani through the (1973) football season regarding the extent and exact nature of injuries sustained by Ron Johnson, Carl Lockhart, John Mendenhall and other offensive and defensive players with the Giants." === Page 52 of 62 Newsweek Frank Johnston--The Washington Post THIS IS ONE OF MY VERY BEST "PRECOG"* PSYCHIC "HITS," MADE FOUR YEAR'S AGO IN "WHAT THE SEERS PREDICT" BY BRAD STEIGER AND WARREN SMITH. *HA HA OWENS MANY XPK # Seven Days In August And suddenly it was over. ¶ Sitting for the last time behind his desk in the Oval Office, a taut smile flickering at his lips, Richard Milhous Nixon, 61, looked wanly into the television cameras and brought the long ordeal of Watergate to its end. ¶ He resigned his ruined Presidency in disgrace--the first man ever driven from the office in the 198 years of the American Republic--and passed the mantle to his hand-chosen successor, Gerald Ford. ¶ The transfer of power August 19, 1974 13 === Page 53 of 62 The New York Times Magazine | August 18, 1974 August 18, 1974 TO MY OBSERVER-SCIENTISTS...

OWENS (PK / MAN) === Page 61 of 62 LTR TO SCIENTISTS 7/21/74 3 On the recent trip to Paris I gave a very nice demonstration of weather control, by making it rain on Paris. With the sun shining brightly, I told Madame Kitty (who works for the wire services of Le Figaro newspaper there) that I would make it rain on Paris. Later that day, in the apartment of Gary Cooper's daughter, Maria...and her husband, Byron Janis(?)...I worked on the sky and told them how, within days, Paris would have a good drenching. Several days later the skies clouded, and it poured down rain on Paris. Enclosed also is an affidavit from a gentleman who works with nuclear reactors in Canada...confirming that I had just made it rain here in the Norfolk area, before I went to Paris. You probably wonder how I keep going...since the government is of no help and I have no scientific grants as yet. Well, George Delavan, for several years, has steadily pumped in several hundred dollars a month to keep me going. And of course, Millie has just set up the huge European project the SI's have long wanted me to get at. So both of these people must be very precious to the SI's, just as they are to me. Finally, I hope to give you a demonstration. A large one. The control of an entire country. France. As you should know from your files by now...I do not give novel PK demonstrations of bending spoons or rolling pencils around. I control radar installations with my mind; control a city with my mind; control a pro football team with my mind. Quite different altogether, my work, contrasted with other "PK" demonstrators. This demonstration I am going to give will probably last an entire year. Now, you all have my "Cleveland Miracle" file, where I caused extreme heat to strike Cleveland and buckle the sidewalks, breakup swimming pools, etc. And disrupted Cleveland's power supply. I am going to do much the same thing with France (especially Paris and Toulose). I am going to strike France with both tremendous heat and with storms (which will contain much lightning...but not to injure anyone). I will also attempt to make some hurricanes, and bring them at France (will work to produce a hurricane off the U.S. coast within two weeks of this letter, for a beginning.) And will work to cause strange EM (electromagnetic) effects to attack France...which should affect the power supply there. Am certain...that France will never have experienced anything like this before. (Note: the above might produce many storms and hurricanes around the U.S. as a sort of "side effect" in the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf. My brain has increased its power, exponentially, for quite a long while... and at this point it is much more powerful than some years ago when I accomplished the miracles written about in the Saga articles.)

At 6 p.m. EDT, the San Juan weather bureau pinpointed the storm near latitude 10.0 north, longitude 45.5 west or about 375 miles due east of Trinidad. This was about 950 miles southeast of Puerto Rico. The storm was pushing heavy seas of around 15 feet ahead of it, and the weather bureau warned the seas would hit the exposed eastern coast of Trinidad and Tobago and spread westward to the Grenadines Wednesday. The weather bureau ordered posting of gale warnings and a hurricane watch on the Windward Islands of Trinidad, Tobago, the Grenadines, St. Vincent, and Barbados at the southeastern edge of the Caribbean. Alma was discovered by a hurricane hunter plane which had been sent out to check on the disturbance. The storm grew out of a tropical depression which had been tracked by satellite across the mid-Atlantic for the past three days. Alma is racing westward at about 24 m.p.h. Forecasters said it would continue its course and speed for the next 12 to 18 hours. Gale winds extended 75 miles to the north of the center and 25 miles to the south. Alma is likely to attain hurricane strength of 75 m.p.h winds before reaching the islands, the weather bureau said. "In its present track and motion, the center of the storm will be passing between the islands of Trinidad and Tobago early Wednesday morning and will continue westward, approaching the Grenada area during the day," forecasters said. "It is moving unusually rapidly for this time of year and location," said Dr. Neil Frank, director of the National Hurricane Center at Miami, who conferred with forecasters in Puerto Rico on the first storm advisory. Frank said the storm was likely to intensify before reaching the islands that form the eastern fringe of the Caribbean sea. The hurricane watch order was issued so residents could keep in close contact with Alma's progress. MY STORMS ARE ALWAYS UNUSUAL!

"What's the trend of weather conditions, here and world-wide?" Nature's war against man escalating. Even at this writing some creatures are busily wiping out the reefs and barriers off Australia and in the Pacific... birds are doing crazy things... fish which have never attacked humans are now attacking and chewing up humans... and it will get worse, much worse. I mention this... because weather and nature go hand-in-hand. Nature's war against Man, now in progress... weather is just one of nature's lightning bolts to throw at man. 1975 will see ever-increasing storms; lightning attacks; drought; tidal waves; volcanoes exploding. EM (electromagnetic) conditions will attack Earth, which will surprise and startle scientists. This effect will upset and disturb many portions of Earth, and its apparatus. The U.S. will be smacked hard by at least two hurricanes, if not more. Tornadoes will attack the U.S. in packs and bunches. The cold will be colder; the hot will be hotter. Watersheds will shrink; water will get scarcer, as drought increases. "Will the drought in Africa extend further beyond present boundaries?" Not if I can help it. I am currently working to provide Africa with rain, in order to save the people, and the animals, there. Previously, the UFO's had me announce a Master Plan to the scientists who observe my work: they would create a world-drought... then let me, their human link, replace the water at various geographical locations, documenting it in advance to the scientists... and thus proving once and for all the reality of the UFO's, and my link to them. Should anything happen to me... while the UFO's are preparing the world-drought... there will be no "me" with the human choice to replace the water around the world. Then the Earth would simply remain in drought completely... and this civilization would vanish, like others have done. (This, again, is the reason why the UFO's insist to the U.S. Govt. that I be carefully guarded and protected.) "What about the stock market? Are we in for a depression?" The stock market will fall apart completely. And depression is not the bon mot. The word is simply not severe enough to cover the meaning of what will happen. Put it like this... there is an old saying, the bigger they come, the harder they fall. For a long time the U.S. has been the "biggest", and "King of the rock". Now this country is about to fall... and the crash will be something to behold. "What is the future of American political system?" Glad you asked that, Warren. We are in for a revolution in political methodology. In time ahead all the old political methods and structure will be torn down, and a completely new, stream-lined, years-overdue political system will be devised for the United States. Young folks will be responsible for bringing this about. Even now, with their young eyes... they can see more than us old folks can see... that our political system can be equated with the old Senators, old Congressmen, old folk clinging to our ancient system... clung to tenaciously because of all the "goodies" inherent in our present system for the political hacks running it. But the young ones will change all this; and young ones will take over and guide this country... should this country survive the interim period of storm and trial, that is.

Africa Drought ROME - (UPI) - Torrential rains have inundated a parched region of West Africa, raising hopes that a devastating six-year drought in parts of the sub-Sahara may be over. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization said caravans of camels augmented airlifts and truck convoys are taking emergency food relief supplies to famine-hit areas isolated by the rain. The rains have flooded part of the area south of the Sahara, washing out roads, isolating communities and hampering relief operations. "The rains are a mixed blessing," an FAO spokesman said. "Yet if they continue through September, we may see a reasonably good harvest in a region that has suffered through a six-year drought." Six nations have been battered by the drought - Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal and upper Volta. The affected area spans more than 2,000 miles. Millions of cattle, sheep and other farm animals have been lost, according to FAO statistics. Some herds have been reduced by more than 80 per cent. Crop production has shriveled because humans were forced to eat seed grains as food stocks were consumed and not replaced. The FAO spokesman said about 25 million persons live in the affected danger zone and 6 to 10 million of them were in danger of starvation. No firm death figures are available but estimates of those who have perished from starvation or diseases brought on by malnutrition range from tens of thousands to more than a million. Sept 2, 1974 Scientist-Observer I informed you, quite a while back - of my intent to bring an end to the six-year drought in Africa - by bringing rains to Africa in great amounts. I told you I would do so, and, as you can read here - I have done so!! Millions of people will be saved, thus. They needn't worry in Africa about the rains stopping. I will keep the rains pouring on Africa.) Owens (PK Man) NY Times Sept 1, 1974 # HEAVY RAINS PELT SUB-SAHARA AREA ## Parts of Stricken Lands Get Closer to Normal Fall - Transport Is Disrupted LAGOS, Nigeria, Aug. 31 (AP) - Heavy, slashing rains - even floods - are sweeping parts of the sub-Saharan region that has suffered from a catastrophic six-year drought, and relief agencies say the rainfall appears to be closer to normal than at any time in recent years. But some fear the rains, which usually fall from June through September, may yet peter out and result in widespread crop failures. This would mean another critical year of acute food shortages across the region on the southern fringes of the Sahara, running through parts of Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Upper Volta, Niger and Chad. How good an effect the rains have will not be known, however, until the harvest in late October when crop production can be gauged. "Even if the drought is broken, continued relief will be required for at least another year," according to one United Nations relief worker. Meanwhile, relief agencies are putting planes, trucks and trans-Saharan caravans into the fight to feed millions of near-starving blacks until the hoped-for harvest. ### Rains Isolate Villages The rains have disrupted land transport and have isolated villages in many areas by wiping out West Africa's primitive network of dirt roads and desert tracks. A United States food airlift, begun in June, is still under way, ferrying grain to remote outposts in hard-hit eastern Mali. The huge V-130 cargo planes, which flew similar missions last year, already have flown more than 4,000 tons of food to the area from Bamako, Mali's capital. United States airlifts are also expected to be mounted soon to assist Mauritania and Chad, where relief officials report serious medical and nutritional problems. A vast international relief effort has moved more than 560,000 tons of grain - more than a third of it from the United States, through West African ports since last March. Total United States food aid granted to the region since 1972 totals about 600,000 tons of grain valued at more than $121-million. Even if the drought is broken this year, relief workers point out that the future problems facing the vast sub-Saharan sandy wilderness are staggering. United States financial aid is also being used to mobilize 2,000 camels in the region to carry 5,000 tons of food to stranded areas. Truck caravans across the Sahara have also been organized by the United States and a United Nations relief agency to deliver food to Mali and Niger from Algeria. Up to now the human death toll in the drought has been put as high as one million, although many relief agencies consider that figure greatly exaggerated. Most officials say communications are so poor that there is no way of knowing exactly how many have perished, although they believe the number is in the tens of thousands. Hundreds of thousands of cattle, goats and sheep have also been wiped out. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization roughly calculates that over 3.5 million cattle worth some $400-million died in 1973 alone. It is estimated that a least 25 per cent of the cattle herds in the six worst-hit nations perished, with the cattle death toll soaring to 80 per cent in some areas. ### The Estimate on Refugees Hundreds of thousands of refugees - no one really knows how many there are - now sit in squalid camps, almost totally dependent on food from abroad for survival. Estimates on refugees range from a conservative 250,000 to five million. The nomads, particularly the Tuaregs, the famed "blue men" of the Sahara, are among the worst off. While farmers can hope to return to the soil and rebuild their crops, the nomads, entirely dependent on their herds of cattle and goats for survival, have lost everything. African governments and donor nations will have to decide whether to rebuild the nomad's herds or rehabilitate the refugees and train them to farm. Some say forcing the nomads to become farmers and abandon their freedom to roam the desert is tantamount to inflicting "cultural genocide." A United Nations expert on Tuaregs in Niger, however, says that the nomadic lifestyle is "irrational" in the nineteen seventies. A problem in tabulating needs has been that many blacks in Africa have found it more attractive to abandon their homesteads, where they might have survived, and flock to the refugee camps for food and medical care. Experts say that millions in West Africa will have to be fed with food supplies from abroad for several years as the region tries to recover. === Page 8 of 29 Sept 13, 1974 Scientists See the attached "Doomsday Effect" and "Jupiter Effect." You'd better pray to God that PKMan and his UFO friends are available "on deck" and fully operational on behalf of mankind... when, if, and/or after these events take place. Miracles will be needed, and only the SI's and I... can perform miracles (especially the kind needed to shield the human race from these forms of catastrophe.) Owens === Page 9 of 29 SCIENCE # The Doomsday Effect . . . Military experts have long conceded that any nuclear war, no matter how limited, would result in countless deaths, but they have assumed that the carnage could be largely restricted to persons directly exposed to nuclear blasts. Now, scientists have unearthed a grim new possibility--one that appears to extend the effects of any nuclear confrontation to all the peoples of the world. According to studies initiated by the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, a series of large nuclear explosions could damage the band of ozone that protects the earth from the sun's ultraviolet radiation--which could conceivably destroy all life on earth. Ozone is a form of oxygen whose molecules contain three atoms instead of the normal two. It occurs predominantly in the lower stratosphere, between about 10 and 30 miles altitude, where it absorbs potentially lethal ultraviolet rays from the sun. The band of ozone is believed to be stable, but the gas can be destroyed by chemicals known as oxides of nitrogen, which convert it to normal, nonprotective oxygen. Three years ago, Dr. Harold Johnston, a chemist at the University of California at Berkeley, suggested that fleets of supersonic airliners flying in the lower stratosphere might emit, through their exhausts, sufficient oxides of nitrogen to deplete the ozone layer significantly. That contention has been partly confirmed. And Johnston soon followed it up with a suggestion that nuclear weapons might have the same depleting effect: the heat of a nuclear explosion causes oxygen and nitrogen molecules in the air to combine, forming oxides of nitrogen, which are carried aloft in the atomic cloud to react with ozone molecules. Scientists at both the arms control agency and California's Lawrence Livermore Laboratory quickly investigated the possibility. And they have found that Johnston may well be right. **Hazards:** The magnitude of the potential effect is unclear. "We do not know how much ozone depletion would occur from a large number of nuclear explosions," agency director Fred C. Iklé said last week. "It might be imperceptible, but it might be almost total. We do not know how long such depletion would last--less than one year, or over ten years. Above all," noted Iklé, "we do not know what this depletion would do to plants, animals and people. Perhaps it would merely increase the hazard of sunburn. Or perhaps it would destroy critical links of the intricate food chain of plants and animals, and thus shatter the ecological structure that permits man to remain alive on this planet." Iklé's agency is currently sponsoring new studies to answer some of these questions. In the meantime, Iklé himself sees one bright spot in this gloomy picture. The prospect of the destruction of mankind through ozone depletion, he said, might make aggressor nations a bit less likely to press the nuclear button. # . . . And the Jupiter Effect Mankind may be able to control nuclear warfare, but it can only try to cope with natural catastrophes--and two scientists are predicting that the earth may face a devastating series of events in just eight years. In 1982, all of the nine planets of the solar system will be aligned on the same side of the sun like a rank of heavenly guardsmen on parade. In a book* published this week, astronomers John Gribbin and Stephen Plagemann warn that this rare planetary line-up (it occurs once every 179 years) could lead to major earthquakes in California and other areas of the world. Gribbin, who is a physical-sciences editor of the British magazine Nature, and Plagemann, a researcher at NASA's Goddard Space Center in Maryland, began investigating the likely consequences of the grand planetary alignment in the late '60s, when both were graduate students at Cambridge University. Their deliberations have produced the following scenario: first, the new planetary line-up will cause a great increase in magnetic activity on the sun, which will be at the peak of its sunspot cycle at that time. This will create huge storms of sunspots and solar flares. Like all bursts of solar activity, these episodes will severely affect the upper parts of the earth's atmosphere, disturbing radio communications, creating such effects as the northern lights and--most important--greatly disrupting weather patterns around the globe, principally by sharply altering wind directions in the upper atmosphere. As the winds shift, they may modify rainfall and temperature patterns in various parts of the world. More important, the scientists say, the frictional effect exerted by atmospheric circulation on the solid earth will change with the winds; the consequence would be to brake suddenly the pace of the earth's rotation--thus giving the planet a jolt sufficiently large to trigger earthquakes in areas of the world under severe geological strain. "There will be many earthquakes, large and small," predict Gribbin and Plagemann. "And one region where one of the greatest fault systems lies today under a great strain, long overdue for a giant leap forward and just waiting the necessary kick, is California." **Bursts:** To back up this gloomy estimate, the two scientists quote recent findings in such varied fields as planetary and solar astronomy, meteorology and geophysics. The effect of large solar storms on the earth's rotation was well illustrated by massive bursts of solar activity that occurred in the late '50s and two years ago. Calculations by Gribbin and Plagemann indicated that even the 1972 activity, far lower than the amount anticipated in 1982, slowed down the earth by about one one-thousandth of a second a day, and the solar activity in the late '50s apparently caused a notable increase in the number of earthquakes in geologically unstable areas. The concoction of a chain of possible events, of course, does not establish its actual certainty. The researchers do note, however, that each one of the eight large quakes to have hit an area within 50 miles of San Francisco since 1836 has taken place within the two years following a period of maximum solar activity. Plainly, this apocalyptic prediction will stir controversy in scientific circles. But Gribbin and Plagemann are regarded by their peers as reputable astronomers and, at the least, their calculations are likely to add to public pressure on authorities in California to speed up preparations for coping with a major earthquake. **WHEN PLANETS ALIGN** PLUTO NEPTUNE URANUS SATURN JUPITER MARS EARTH VENUS MERCURY SUN SOLAR FLARES As the planets move into alignment in 1982, their gravitational pull may cause huge storms on the sun. These storms could alter wind directions on earth, reducing the speed of the planet's rotation and triggering serious earthquakes. Ib Ohlsson *"The Jupiter Effect."

Pilot 7/31/74 # Expert 'Horrified' by Drought MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (AP) - Dr. Norman E. Borlaug, a Nobel Prize-winning food expert, said Tuesday that he is "horrified" at the extent of drought conditions in the United States. Borlaug returned last week after nearly six months in Asia and Africa, working on food projects with developing nations. While his information is incomplete, Borlaug said, "It doesn't look promising." He said he has unconfirmed reports of substantial winter kill in the Russian winter wheat crop, a factor which could affect world prices. Borlaug spoke at the Midwest Governors Conference, joining Sen. Hubert wh. Humphrey, D-Minn., and others in a discussion of world food problems. Borlaug criticized the federal government for dealing inadequately with inflation. "It seems to me we've become so damn obsessed with Watergate that we play Watergate-Watergate while inflation is ruining the world," he said. Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for developing a strain of wheat useful in underdeveloped countries. Speaking mostly in worldwide terms, Borlaug said food production is barely keeping pace with the "population monster." August 1, 1974 to my Observer-Scientists: It is sad...that the SI's must have to prove their point the "hard way" for the human race...i.e., that they must produce a World Drought, then let me replace the water by rainfall around the world..

At a stroke of the pen, President Ford has shattered the air of good feeling inspired by his early conduct in the White House, and has aroused the most disturbing questions about himself and his administration. After the recent glorious release from what, an assuming the presidency, he called "our long national nightmare" of Watergate, it is incredible that the country has been as suddenly plunged back into a miasma of doubt, suspicion, anger and, yes, depression. Yet the reaction to his unconditional pardon of Richard M. Nixon makes it clear enough that this is what has happened. Surely it is bad policy for a president suddenly to take a drastic step for which the country is not prepared and which the people do not understand. It defies the memory to try to recall when a president has instantaneously thrown the country into such a state of mystification as Mr. Ford has done with his dramatic announcement Sunday. The bewilderment is all the greater because his own previous remarks about a pardon for Nixon, some as recent as Aug. 28, indicated that he would take the opposite course from what he has. One has only to listen to the cacophony of comment to realize that the President's explanation of his act has failed to convince a great many Americans in and out of Congress. It follows, therefore, that suspicion has been aroused about his motives. Already Washington is speculating about some kind of a "deal." However idle or malicious, such talk does not provide a propitious atmosphere for a man who was the handpicked successor to Mr. Nixon. Assuming that his motives were pure, Mr. Ford's decision is still going to nag him for years to come in politics. In historical perspective, it probably will be seen as the first great landmark of his administration, the chronological point at which assessment of his presidency begins. If his act was indeed essentially one of compassion for an old friend, the question is whether the President put personal and political loyalty above the good of the state. One can already visualize its being raised in the first chapter of the biographies and the histories. Washington is bewildered that Mr. Ford should have rung down the curtain on his honeymoon so quickly--and his decision has done no less. Everywhere the same questions are being asked: What political benefit does this bring Mr. Ford? Could this be a gesture to the Republican right wing to soothe hurt feelings over his selection of Nelson A. Rockefeller for vice president and his proposal for leniency to Vietnam War draft-dodgers and deserters? Is this the way President Ford is going to make great decisions, springing them on concerned officials without notice? Does the intense secrecy preceding Sunday's announcement square with the new President's promise to consult and listen to other viewpoints in contrast to the ingrown Nixon decision-making? Does Mr. Ford really believe, as his statement suggested, that his fact of pardon will insure tranquility? Or has he not raised the deepest and most abiding questions about the character of American justice? And has he not opened a can of worms for the forthcoming trial of the Nixon subordinates? And is the country not now subjected anew to troubling doubts over the fairness to other subordinates who already have been sent to jail without being pardoned? Is it conceivable, as many as asking, that he acted when he did in the belief that the former president was on the brink of emotional collapse or worse? Such information as we have on Mr. Nixon in California does not support such an extreme conclusion about his condition. If it were extreme, however, Mr. Ford could have found a way of conveying the situation in advance so as to make his decision more understandable. One theory is that Mr. Ford, determined to pardon Mr. Nixon at some point and realizing that the act would be controversial, decided to move now when his popularity is high and thus dispose of the problem. Even so, his timing is dubious. Inflation is already putting some strain on his popularity. He has stirred a hornet's nest in Congress when things were calm otherwise. He has obligingly handed the Democrats something to talk about in the current congressional election campaign when they were running low on issues after Mr. Nixon's resignation. Furthermore, he has in effect given Mr. Nixon immunity from prosecution just when the opinion of the country, conservative as well as liberal, seemed to be swinging in favor of a trial to get the truth of Watergate, even though the public appeared to feel that ultimately the former president, if convicted, should be pardoned and not jailed. To a great many people, including J. F. terHorst, who promptly resigned as White House press secretary, the Ford administration is all of a sudden not what it was. This is sad, because what it was seemed very much what the country needed. In place of enormous confidence, Mr. Ford overnight faces widespread doubts. In his precipitate pardon of his predecessor, he has made his own task more difficult.

Owens Washington Post Sept 15, 1974 # Presidential Records and the Public Interest IN RESPONSE to strong objections from the Special Prosecutor's office, the White House has now suspended the deal which gave former President Nixon almost complete control over the papers, tapes and other records of his presidency. To the extent that this is the first step toward renegotiating the agreement, it is welcome because the papers pact was just as ill-advised as the premature pardon which it accompanied. As the Special Prosecutor has recognized, the agreement between Mr. Nixon and GSA Administrator Arthur F. Sampson was a giveaway by the government - a giveaway which gave Mr. Nixon every opportunity to use the records of his presidency to obstruct justice and stonewall history. Under the arrangement, Mr. Nixon would have controlled all access to the records deposited with GSA - "the records of official presidential conduct and misconduct which Mr. Nixon referred to as "my presidential historical materials." The control was to be both legal and literal, since two different keys were to be required to open the vault and only Mr. Nixon would have had both. All the materials except the tapes were to be kept for three years, after which Mr. Nixon would have been able to withdraw anything "without formality" for any purpose, including publication, sale or shredding. The tapes were to be kept until Sept. 1, 1979, after which they would have been destroyed as Mr. Nixon might direct, or upon his death, or at the latest by Sept. 1, 1984. This was an open invitation to a monumental cover-up. The pact's provisions regarding subpoenas were especially curious. In an opinion for President Ford, Attorney General William Saxbe wrote that even though Mr. Nixon owned the materials, the government would have to produce properly subpoenaed items within its possession. But the San Clemente arrangement said something else. It said that government officials, if served with a subpoena, must notify Mr. Nixon so that he could respond "as the owner and custodian of the materials, with sole right and power of access thereto and, if appropriate, assert any privilege or defense I may have." That, coupled with Mr. Nixon's exclusive ownership of one of the two different keys necessary to open the vault, promised only more rounds of objections, appeals, unilateral decisions that certain papers and conversations were not revelant - and probably a few announcements that some materials simply could not be found. In short, at the same time President Ford immunized Mr. Nixon against federal prosecution, he also gave his predecessor the power to undermine or frustrate other probes and prosecutions as well. It is no wonder that the Special Prosecutor has objected so forcefully. The agreement was doubly obnoxious because the cover-up could be an endless one. Mr. Nixon has expressed his "desire" to donate "a substantial portion" of the documents, excluding tapes, for historical purposes at some future date, but absolutely no binding commitment has been made. Thus he and his family would be at liberty to write their own memoirs, to publish selected documents and transcripts, to open the files to sympathetic writers - and to bar access, forever, to everybody else. Key documents and tapes could be suppressed and eventually destroyed with their contents undisclosed. Together with the presidential pardon, this adds up to a kind of eternal immunity protecting Mr. Nixon from final and dispassionate judgment either in the courts or at the bar of history. In authorizing such a deal, President Ford may have been pushed by the suggestions that, in the absence of some formal accord, there was little to prevent Mr. Nixon from sending over the U-Hauls and carting all his files away. That idea was based on the assumption that the records of a presidency are the President's personal property to keep, donate or dispose of as he likes. That concept, however unwise, is backed by ample precedent - but there is no precedent governing the case of a President who has resigned in disgrace to avoid impeachment, and whose former aides and closest associates are under indictment or investigation for a wide range of alleged crimes, many of which involve abuse of presidential authority. In such a case, it is incumbent on the government to take every possible step to preserve the record and to assure that potential evidence will be available so that the agencies of justice may proceed without hindrance or delay. President Ford now has the obligation to renegotiate the agreement which was so rashly signed. That task should certainly not be entrusted to Mr. Sampson of GSA, whose inclination seems to be to give Mr. Nixon anything and everything he wants. Instead, a new and more prudent arrangement should be worked out by the White House in full consultation with the Special Prosecutor. If Mr. Nixon balks, the courts or Congress may have to intervene. But the responsibility rests first of all with President Ford. He should regard this as an opportunity to demonstrate his commitment to fair and thorough enforcement of the laws, and thus repair some of the damage caused by the precipitous pardon and the initial decision to give these vital records away. === Page 17 of 29 Bigger Role for Congress News + Observer Raleigh, NC. Sept 20, 1974 # Ford Not Making the Necessary Break By Anthony Lewis BOSTON -- A few hours before the news conference, someone deeply committed to President Ford was reflecting on what he needed to do. Above all, this person said, Ford had to show that he was his own man, not tied to Richard Nixon in person or policy. For example, he should take care to avoid entanglement in whatever the CIA may have done in Chile during the Nixon years. When he was asked about Chile that night, Ford proceeded to clasp the CIA to his bosom. He said it had acted only to protect the opposition press and parties from the Allende government -- ignoring the fact that the military regime, unlike Allende, has banned all opposition and murdered and tortured thousands. He blandly concluded that U.S. interference had been "in the best interest" of Chile. People are increasingly puzzled at Ford's performance, and that answer indicates why they are. When he became President, he seemed to understand so well the need to separate himself from the horrors of the immediate past. Now, just a few weeks later, he gives every sign of having lost that understanding. It is not just the pardon, done with the techniques of surprise and secrecy that were a Nixon hallmark. Again and again, he acts as if he wants to take on the burdens of the Nixon legacy. Item: Ford lets his own White House budget be used to provide the Nixons with a valet and maid, a $36,000-a-year secretary, a chauffeur, a speech-writer and 16 other helpers. Item: A few weeks ago, when an inherited White House lawyer was caught dissembling on the subject of the Nixon tapes, Ford dispatched him and undertook to safeguard the tapes. Then, without notice, he approved a deal with Nixon that would endanger the access to the tapes and Nixon papers needed by the Watergate special prosecutor. Item: Ford allows White House staff members closely identified with Nixon to linger on, despite conflicts with his own people. Gerald Ford remains a likeable human being, with no evidence of his predecessor's dark obsessions. But sometimes he makes it hard to be sure who is President. During the news conference he referred to Nixon eight times as "the president." Was that just slowness of mind, or something more revealing? The very issues handled in so puzzling a way by Ford demonstrate the need for Congress to play a larger role. An obvious example is the continuing use of White House funds for Nixon. Congress should act swiftly to see that he gets no public money except what is directly appropriated for him, and that limited to anything required by law. On the pardon, the continuing controversy about Haig's role and the absence of any real explanation from Ford for acting so hastily suggest that there should be a congressional inquiry. In any event, Congress must make sure that all the facts come out, despite the pardon. It should give the special prosecutor any further powers he needs to tell the full story, including assured access to the Nixon papers and tapes. The appointment of Alexander Haig to the NATO post cries out for the most careful congressional, examination. What was his role in the obstruction of the special prosecutor and the Senate Watergate committee, for example, and in the illegal White House wiretapping? Not least, there is the large question of the CIA and Chile. That is a special test of the congressional will, for in the past Congress has notoriously shirked its duty of oversight in regard to CIA activities. There is an old-boy network: the senior members of Congress who often cover up for the dirty tricks of their friends in the national security business. When the House Judiciary Committee voted to impeach Nixon, Rep. Walter Flowers warned that Congress would be judged in the future by the way it exercised its rediscovered power -- "by our willingness to share in the many hard choices that must be made for our nation." The experience of that proceeding showed us that there are many persons of real ability and judgment in Congress. We shall see now whether they have the will.

Nixon was "schizophrenic"!! - B. Greene Govt. Nixon Profile Gets Officer in Trouble P.S. still harassing me? By Jack Anderson Sept 20, 1974. WASHINGTON - The young Air Force psychiatrist who wrote the eerily prophetic "President Nixon's Psychiatric Profile" has complained that he is being so harassed by his Air Force bosses he wants to resign. Maj. Eli Chesen, chief of the Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., mental health clinic, has confided to congressmen that he has been threatened with court martial, that his patriotism has been questioned and that his integrity has been assaulted - all because of the book. So serious is the alleged mistreatment, we have learned, that 13 plucky doctors at the Nellis base hospital have written Congress and the Air Force asking for a "full investigation" of Chesen's charges. Chesen wrote his book while he was on inactive reserve. It was based on Nixon's speeches, biographies, televised appearances and writings. From his gigantic heap of material, Chesen shrewdly drew the conclusion that Nixon never would buckle from the most critical policy crises, but might disintegrate from personal problems. The Air Force major finished his book almost a year ago when the world still believed in the exuberant Nixon of the 1972 election period. But Chesen accurately predicted that Nixon might become the present-day recluse of San Clemente, a lonely, tortured, insecure man. "It is in the personal context that I am most concerned about Nixon's stability under stress," wrote Chesen with discomforting foresight. "The threat of world war poses less of a vexation for Nixon than the outcome of Watergate...." Indeed, Nixon's physician Dr. Walter Tkach might well have been quoting from Chesen's uncanny forecast when he said a few days ago that Nixon was "ravaged" and broken in spirit. But Chesen's Air Force bosses apparently are not interested in the accuracy of the young psychiatrist's star-gazing about Nixon. Even before Chesen came on active Air Force duty last February, he ran into trouble, he confided in a letter to several congressmen, including Rep. Wiley Mayne, R-Iowa. Chesen said his future commander allegedly told aides, "If Doctor Chesen gets even a step out of line, he will be court-martialed." Within days after he got to Nellis, he said, an Air Force general at a small dinner party questioned him about where his father was born in Russia. "His questions to me indicated a surprising personal knowledge of my background, including minor details about my wife's medical problems," said Chesen. At the base, he said, a special file was kept on him and was "shown to some of my colleagues in a way to discredit my reputation.... My commanding officer has personally... informed the defense counsel on (a) case that my opinion was not reliable in view of my past performance as an author of a book of which he disapproves." Chesen, who had settled with his family in Nellis, also intermittently faced threats of reassignment. As a result of all this, he said, he wanted a release from active duty, even though his time is not up until 1976. FOOTNOTE: Chesen refused comment, saying "I could get court-martialed." An Air Force spokesman said a preliminary inquiry has produced no evidence of harassment, but the Air Force, he told us, has begun a thorough investigation. === Page 20 of 29 Sept 16, 1974 You have my letter in your files, stating, the list that the "Rich Gang" behind Watergate... would murder Nixon... probably by bribing a doctor to inject Nixon with a killing agent.

Walter Tkach Saturday said he decided against hospitalizing Richard M. Nixon after the former President told him, "If I go into the hospital, I'll never come out alive." He did not say why Nixon feared that he would die if hospitalized. Tkach, Nixon's long-time personal physician, was interviewed by NBC News at his home at Andrews Air Force Base near Washington after he returned from a visit to his patient at San Clemente, Calif. "Mr. Nixon's condition has worsened in the past several weeks despite the pardon," Tkach said, and he "is a ravaged man who has lost the will to fight." Tkach added, however, that Nixon showed no signs of mental imbalance and is rational. But, he said in a 30-minute interview with NBC newsman Ford Rowan that phlebitis has caused Nixon's left leg to swell and he is fatigued and very tense. The doctor said he feared that the tension would lead to formation of a blood clot that could lodge in Nixon's heart. He said the former president is receiving medication for phlebitis, but not anticoagulants whose administration could only be started in a hospital. Anticoagulants are used to help keep blood flowing freely and prevent formation of clots. Va. Pilot Sept 15, 1974 === Page 21 of 29 Poor See Double-Standard News & Observer, Raleigh, NC Sept 22, 1974 # Ford's Pardon of Nixon Was Misplaced Compassion This column... runs it up correctly! G. Evans I had not intended to do a column on Richard Nixon. Caught up in the general euphoria surrounding his resignation and the wise policies of reconciliation followed by President Ford, I thought it best not to dwell on the evil past. But the blanket pardon granted Nixon changes all that. Put bluntly, it sticks in the craw. It raises the real prospect that an administration that acted like a malignant cancer on the political body of our nation will eventually be whitewashed. That should not be allowed to happen. The nightmare Nixon years were those of the most discredited presidency in our history and no presidential pardon can wipe out its legacy. The Nixon administration fell because of the criminal actions at the highest level, up to and including the President himself. Without pardon, Nixon may have faced indictment on charges of obstructing justice, tax fraud, and perhaps other illegal acts still buried in the prosecutor's files and in the tapes. It left office after having wrecked the economy, misused public funds, fostered high inflation and high unemployment, encouraged racial bitterness through politicization of busing and crime issues, destroyed public confidence in the process of government, and abruptly ended all signs of black progress. It's a sorry story, the legacy left us by Mr. Nixon, and it is one that should be remembered for, as a philosopher has written, "those who forget history are condemned to repeat it." There lies one of the most persuasive arguments against pardoning the former President. Unless the whole miserable story of Watergate and other crimes perpetrated by his administration is brought out, there is always a chance that a forgetting public will allow similar events to happen in the future. But even more important, the cherished principle of equal justice before the law is defeated by a pardon. That principle demands that everyone, rich or poor, black or white, worker or President, shall get equal treatment under the laws of the land. We know that principle has been dishonored in the past, but in this glaring case it could have been affirmed. The course of justice should have been allowed to flow unimpeded. Just as Mr. Nixon's underlings have faced trial and imprisonment, so too, the man who gave them their orders should have been made answerable to the law. This doesn't mean that a former President should go to prison. It is unlikely that any judge would have imposed such a sentence on him, and a post-trial pardon would have been deservedly popular. But the law should have been allowed to proceed. Since the presidential pardon short-circuited the process of justice, the whole system is liable to be held in contempt. The big excuse for the hasty pardon was the supposed "suffering" the former President has already gone through. Mr. Nixon resides in a luxurious seaside villa, partially paid for by government funds, has a pension and office expenses of over $150,000 per year. That's suffering? How can this be explained to hundreds of thousands of poor, black and minority people now serving jail terms or bearing the burdens of less than honorable military discharges, most of them for offenses far less serious than those Mr. Nixon is charged with? The hasty and ill-considered pardon tells them that the law is not the same for rich and poor alike, that some people are indeed above the reach of the law, and that the principle of equal justice can be ignored at will. The President is a compassionate man, but in this instance his compassion was sadly misplaced. He has weakened faith in a system that seemed capable of working again, has damaged himself politically, and had unnecessarily compromised his own reputation for candor and integrity. Let us hope that he will redeem himself by showing as much compassion for the unfortunate millions, the real victims of the Nixon administration, as he has for the wealthy, still powerful lord of San Clemente. === Page 22 of 29 Kissinger, Ford, Rockefeller... three more "Watergate" # Kissinger Reportedly Held Back (that's us) Wait and see!! styles, using the U.S. for the Rich Gang!! - Owens The News and Observer, Raleigh, N. C. Sunday, September 22, 1974 19- # Data on CIA Chile Role New York Times News Service WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger did not reveal the extent of the Central Intelligence Agency's involvement with labor unions and trade groups in Chile during separate briefings this week to congressional leaders and the Ford administration Cabinet, reliable administration and congressional sources have reported. The sources said Kissinger offered an emotional defense of the CIA's clandestine operations in Chile during the regular Tuesday morning Cabinet meeting, explaining that, as one source with first-hand knowledge said, "all we did was support newspapers and political opponents of Allende who were under siege." A similar description of the CIA's role was publicly made by President Ford in his televised news conference Monday, and again by Kissinger during testimony Thursday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The CIA has been reported to have secretly financed striking labor unions and trade groups for more than 18 months before the government of Chilean President Salvador Allende was overthrown last September in a bloody coup d'etat. More than half of the $8 million authorized for covert CIA operations during the three-year presidency of Allende was utilized to finance and provide support payments for striking middle class workers, the Times sources have reported. In the Cabinet meeting, according to an administration source, Kissinger gave some examples of the type of clandestine activities underwritten by the CIA - dealing with direct aid to an allegedly threatened newspaper and anti-Allende politicians. The source said some Cabinet members noted at the time that Kissinger was telling them, in effect, "here's the kind of thing we did" and did not specifically reveal what actually had been undertaken by the CIA. At no time during the meeting, the source said, did Kissinger mention the financing of labor union or trade groups. The Secretary of State also told the Cabinet members, the source said, that the CIA's total investment in Chile since 1964 - some $11 million - was "marginal." Other sources have said, however, that CIA operatives in Chile were able to exchange the American dollars on the black market at levels up to 800 per cent higher than in commercial banks - suggest- === Page 23 of 29 Armed Forces Take Over Va. Pilot 9/13/74 Good!! # Ethiopia's Emperor Deposed ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) - Ethiopia's armed forces deposed Emperor Haile Selassie Thursday, climaxing a six-month gradual takeover. They placed the emperor under arrest and accused him of embezzling millions while the nation's peasants starved. Lt. Gen. Aman Michael Andom, 51, a popular war hero named defense minister and armed forces chief of staff during the prolonged takeover, emerged as the new leader. "I'm not going," the 82-year-old emperor was quoted as saying to soldiers who came to his palace. But the frail emperor, once adored by 26 million subjects as the Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah and Elect of God, was put into the back seat of a blue Volkswagen police car and taken away, witnesses said. A military broadcast said Gen. Aman was chosen chief of the anonymous 13-man military committee in power, and thus the temporary head of government. Michael Imru, who in July became Ethiopia's third prime minister in seven months, moved to information minister. The military broadcast said the emperor's grandson, Rear Adm. Eskinder Desta, former navy commander, was arrested along with about 170 other former officials charged with corruption and misuse of office. Selassie, the world's oldest and longest reigning monarch, was taken with the royal family to Koka Palace, 52 miles east of Addis Ababa, informed sources said. (See Ruler, Page A4) # Ruler of Ethiopia in Custody Continued The military rebels promised democratic elections and land reform after 58 years of feudal rule. Ethiopians reacted happily, decorating six tanks that rumbled into Addis Ababa with flowers and green banners bearing the military slogan, "Ethiopia First."

Residents in Asmara, Ethiopia's second largest city, rejoiced in the streets at news of the overthrow. LT. GEN.

About 200 high-ranking officials have been rounded up in the last few months and are now awaiting trial on charges of corruption, graft, and malpractice in office. The committee said it acted because the emperor refused to hand back billions of dollars he had invested overseas, because of crimes against the Ethiopian people over the last half a century, and because Selassie is too old and weak, both physically and mentally. Unofficial estimates put Selassie's wealth abroad at $10 billion, making him one of the world's richest men. But Selassie reportedly contends that much of his wealth has been distributed among his children and cannot be recovered. The committee also accused former governments of manipulation when he broadcast a statement against the regime. Selassie returned to Ethiopia, crushed the uprising by his imperial bodyguard, and saw his son prostrate himself in a plea for forgiveness. The emperor declared the crown prince innocent. Selassie, barely 5 feet 2, consistently used stern methods to suppress his enemies. Yasu, the emperor from whom he seized power, was kept in chains for 19 years until he died. In the early part of this year Selassie's power began to fade, however, as the armed forces served notice that it was time to move the ancient Christian empire into the 20th century. A prolonged series of mutinies, arrests of key figures, and takeovers of government offices reduced the frail but strong-willed emperor to a figurehead.

Vietnam-policy foe DEPUTY HUGH WATT ... ... takes over # N.Z. Leader Dies; Ally of Workmen WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- Prime Minister Norman E. Kirk, an opponent of U.S. policy in Vietnam and an advocate of new forms of Asian and Pacific regional cooperation, died Saturday. He was 51. A government announcement said he died peacefully in a hospital where he was being treated for gastric influenza. He had been in poor health for months with pleurisy. Deputy Prime Minister Hugh Watt took over the government until the Labor Party caucus meets to elect a new leader. Labor has a 55-32 seat majority in Parliament. In Washington, White House press secretary Jerald F. terHorst said President Ford "obviously is deeply sorry" and has sent a private message of condolence to the Kirk family. The 6-foot, 250-pound "Big Norm" Kirk, a former welder and rail engineer, was elected in November 1972 in a personal triumph that returned the Labor Party to power, ending 12 years of rule by the National Party. Kirk reversed some long-standing government policies. He pulled the remaining New Zealand troops out of South Vietnam shortly after his election, recognized Communist China, and backed the Association of Southeast Asian Nations' proposal for an end to foreign intervention in Southeast Asia. The son of a poor cabinetmaker, Kirk began his career as a ferry engineer in Auckland harbor. At the age of 12, he dropped out of school to work as a gardener and railway cleanup boy and painted roofs for $1 a week. At 30, he was elected mayor of the small town of Kaiapoi. He entered Parliament in 1957 and in 1964 became Labor Party president. The next year he became the opposition leader in Parliament. He actively sought closer ties between New Zealand and the Third World and Communist nations. Kirk visited Washington and the United Nations in 1973. He is survived by his widow, Ruth, and five children. Basic Policies Remain Va. Pilot Sept 1, '74 # Sadat to Step Down From Premiership CAIRO (UPI) -- Anwar Sadat will step down as Egyptian premier but continue as president in a government reshuffle that does not signify changes in Egypt's basic foreign and domestic policies, government sources said Saturday. The sources said Sadat directed First Deputy Premier Abdel Aziz Higazi to form a new Cabinet, which is expected to take over in the second half of September. The change, the sources said, is aimed primarily at relieving Sadat of some of the heavy executive burdens involved in his double role as premier and president. Sadat assumed the premiership March 28, 1973, in what turned out to be a personal takeover of all preparations for the October war against Israel. The fact that Sadat now feels that he can afford to assign direct control of the Cabinet to another man does not signal any departure from Egypt's basic policies, the sources said. They said Egypt will continue military preparations for a possible new war against Israel if peace efforts collapse while at the same time promoting reconstruction and economic development at home. The sources said the great majority of ministers serving in the present Cabinet will be retained in Higazi's government. Higazi, 51, is one of the nation's leading economists. He served as treasury minister for several years before becoming first deputy premier. He and other members of the Cabinet came under fire in the press and parliament in recent weeks because of shortages of soap, matches, chicken, tea, and salt. 9/2/74 Scientist-Observers The SI's and I are busily removing Premiers and Presidents on a world-wide scale (see recent Sci-Letter) and replacing them with good, peace-seeking leaders.

Greenway Washington Post Foreign Service HONG KONG Sept. 14--That Premier Chou En-lai will continue to withdraw from the Chinese political scene and that he will never again return to the position of power and influence he had but a few months ago is now accepted by China-watchers as a foregone conclusion. This is what Chinese officials are now telling foreigners, according to travelers who have been in the Chinese capital recently. Peking is alive with rumors and uneasiness, they say, and the most frequently told story is that Chou suffered another heart attack within the past few weeks. What Chou's withdrawal will mean in terms of Chinese politics is a great unknown. For 25 years, Chou has dominated the political scene with one foot in the government and the other in the Communist Party. From time to time others have eclipsed him. But Chou, always the manager, managed to survive. ings we may not know the outcome for months or even years. It is believed that Vice Premiers Teng Hsiao-ping and Li Hsien-nien are increasingly becoming the voice of Chinese government in the world and in the government. Teng made the address to the United Nations in April and has taken a more prominent role since. His rehabilitation from sudden rise to power after having been purged during the Cultural Revolution has been clear for some time, and he still appears to be in the honors with Mao Tse-tung. His importance is that he wields considerable party power to back up his government role. Thus Chou's facade of unity behind which it would be difficult to fill Chou's ter's. sight for several years and is thought to be an invalid. Li Teh-shung has been criticized in wall posters in recent weeks and has not been seen in public since June. By July, however, the political climate had changed. The central authorities in Peking began to rein in the radicals and to call for an end to factionalism and for more production. ② Thieu THE WASHINGTON POST Sunday, Sept. 15, 1974 A 11 Thieu's Foes Mobilizing Against War, Corruption VIETNAM, From A1 surrounded churches and pagodas, breaking up meetings and harassing dissidents. A clandestine radio station in Hue has been publicizing "Indictment No. 1," but no one knows who is running the station. The Catholic anti-corruption movement began gathering steam last June, when 301 priests called a press conference and released a statement denouncing Thieu. Police kept newsmen out of that press conference and confiscated the statements. "The Buddhists overthrew Diem in 1963," said one priest. "Now it's time for the Catholics to do something about Thieu." Many of these priests have been considered political conservatives, and all are anti-Communist. If the Catholics have focused on corruption, the Buddhists have focused on Thieu's failure to achieve peace. Quiescent since the cease-fire, the militant An Quang arm of the Buddhist church here two weeks ago endorsed a newly formed organization called the Forces for National Reconciliation. All the personalities involved have been around for a long time, but observers call the endorsement a significant indication that the Buddhists, the largest religious group in the country, may once again play a militant antigovernment role. Sen. Vu Nan Mau, leader of the Buddhist slate in the Senate, said in an interview that the new organization will provide a rallying point for all anti-Thieu forces. "There's a broad segment of the population that doesn't side with the Thieu government," said Mau. "Until now Thieu has continued to apply policies that have thwarted the coming of peace." In the 20 months since the cease-fire, Thieu has successfully held down the opposition with police tactics and by charging all those who are not with him with being pro-Communist. But now, with even the U.S. Congress balking at such a hard line, Mau's new organization plans to tread the tricky middle road between Thieu and the Communists in an effort, Mau says, to implement the Paris agreement and bring about "national reconciliation on the basis of self-determination by the people." Another opposition rallying point has been provided by the recent furor here over press censorship. Not only have newspapers been censored and their press runs confiscated, but recently journalists have been arrested for writing stories about government corruption, and their meetings have been broken up by police. Several journalists have been interrogated and threatened with torture, and in the past month an atmosphere of fear has developed among many of them. A large group of opposition deputies in the National Assembly has called for abolition of press censorship, and the government says that it is considering the question. The Catholic opposition daily newspaper, Peace, suspended publication for several weeks recently and the publisher threatened to burn himself alive to protest censorship. The paper has been the main organ of the Catholic anti-corruption movement. In a meeting two days ago, 300 journalists, writers and politicians declared their opposition to press censorship. "To have press freedom we've got to overthrow the regime and not just the press code," a politician said at the meeting. Police did not break up the meeting. ① and ②... more of my handiwork (and Si's) Owens GARDNER SCHOOL 710 14th St NW 628-5600 640 University Blvd. E 434-4500 === Page 26 of 29 Portugal's President Va.

Gertrude is the season's seventh tropical storm and fourth hurricane. It posed a serious threat to the Windwards from Tobago northward to Martinique, said forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami. At 3 p.m. EDT, Gertrude's highest sustained winds were 75 miles per hour -- one m.p.h. above minimum hurricane strength. But forecasters said it was expected to strengthen as it moved westward at 17 m.p.h. Sept 30, 1974 Va. Pilot A Slow Gertrude Aims for Islands MIAMI (UPI) -- Hurricane Gertrude slowed to a near standstill Sunday, but forecasters said the Caribbean storm will regenerate speed and pick up additional strength in its westward trek toward the Windward Islands. Reconnaissance aircraft reported that the hurricane had slowed its forward speed to 5 miles per hour, delaying its arrival on the Windwards until today. But forecaster Paul Hebert of the National Hurricane Center here said the delay does not lessen the threat to the island group, particularly the southern portion of the island chain. At 6 a.m. EDT, Gertrude was centered near latitude 11.5 north and 56.5 west, or about 250 miles east-southeast of Barbados. Its highest sustained winds were 75 m.p.h., but higher gusts were reported in the northeast quadrant. The hurricane was expected to slap parts of the Florida Gulf Coast with rain squalls and winds up to 35 miles per hour, the National Hurricane Center said Thursday.

The depression, which formed from a tropical disturbance first noted south of Cuba last Monday, was about 150 miles west of Tampa, at 2 p.m. Thursday, the center said. It was moving east-northeast at about 15 m.p.h. Residents along a 200-mile stretch of the Florida Gulf Coast from Gasparilla Island to Cedar Key were told to prepare for squalls Thursday night and small boat owners in the middle and upper Gulf Coast areas were warned to stay close to shore. === Page 27 of 29 And another Premier "bites the dust"!!!

Pilot # Italy's Government Falls in Big Crises ROME (AP) -- The Italian government collapsed Thursday night in a crisis about acute economic problems and during a strong Communist bid for a share of power. Premier Mario Rumor, who headed a center-left coalition, submitted his resignation to President Giovanni Leone. Leone asked Rumor to stay on as a caretaker premier until elections can be held. It was the 36th Italian government to fall since the end of World War II. Rumor's cabinet submitted its resignation in June, but Leone at that time refused to accept it, forcing the premier to stay on. The country's latest political crisis raised fears in Washington and European capitals that an opening to the Communists--the largest Marxist party in the West--could be the only way to resolve the situation short of government paralysis or anarchy. Rumor, five times a premier, headed a government of Christian Democrats, Italy's dominant party since the war, Marxist Socialists, and Democratic Socialists. Finance Minister Mario Tanassi triggered the crisis with charges that the Socialists were sabotaging efforts to curb inflation and growing political terrorism. But behind the charge was a long-simmering dispute about what role, if any, the Communists should play in the government. Almost, but not quite... President Clerides Elsewhere Oct 4 1974 Va.

No one was injured in the attack. The government announcement said gunmen fired from a car on police five minutes before Clerides was scheduled to drive along the street from his office to his home. "When the police vehicle tried to intercept the suspicious car, fire was opened against it," the statement said. Police returned the fire and chased the gunmen along the avenue, but their car escaped down a side street. Police issued the registration number of the car, but declined to speculate on who made the attack. Clerides earlier had been conferring in his office with his ministers and other close aides and had just made up his mind not to resign the presidency following a statement of support from the deposed president, Archbishop Makarios, in New York. === Page 29 of 29 GB Book Results Mrs. Boring Sept. 30-74 889 Adonis Benton Harbor Michigan 49022 Dear Ted Owens I want to thank you so much for introducing me to the S.I.'s.

Pilot Oct 5, 1974 # Millions in U.S. Crops Destroyed by Cold Wave By The Associated Press A September cold wave has caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to crops across the Midwest and East, officials reported Friday. They said soybeans and corn were hit the hardest with damage also to tomatoes, Kentucky's tobacco crop, and New York State grapes. The cold weather brought frost to states like South Dakota as early as Sept. 3 and there was freezing reported in late September in most of the northern Midwest. The result, officials say, was the destruction of crops like corn and soybeans that are normally planted late and in some areas were planted later than usual this year because of heavy spring rains. The only good news was a prediction of short-range benefits to beef consumers and a positive effect on the Eastern apple crop. Officials in Indiana estimate that the frost cost farmers there about $152 million; in Wisconsin, officials said total crop damage for the year is $125 million, much of it from the frost, but some of it from heavy spring rains; in Ohio, total damage was set at $356 million for the year from drought, torrential rain, and early frost. In other states, estimates were not available but officials predicted that the cost would be high. Walter Goeppinger, chairman of the Board of the National Corn Growers Association in Boone, Iowa, said Friday that American farmers will harvest less than 4.8 billion bushels of corn this year. The Agriculture Department predicted last spring a harvest of 6.1 billion bushels. Goeppinger, who toured frost-bitten areas of Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa this week, predicted a short-term benefit to consumers. He said much of the damaged corn crop would be used for silage and fed to beef, causing a short-term increase in the beef supply. Goeppinger also predicted possible reduction of the 1975 corn crop if the frost prevents late-fall field work. Corn, soybeans, and tomatoes were affected because they are planted the latest. In Kentucky, where harvesting was late because of earlier rains, there were between 20,000 and 25,000 acres of tobacco still standing when the cold hit. "We're talking about $40 million to $50 million worth of tobacco still in the field that was subject to freeze," said Dr. J. W. Smiley, a tobacco specialist at the University of Kentucky. Trenholm D. Johnson, a specialist hired by four western New York grape-growing counties, reported that leaves on grape vines froze, diminishing the sugar content in the grapes. He said he could not estimate the financial loss to growers, who sell the crop for wine and grape juice. "We'll get some improvement in the crop with better weather, but we will not get the high-quality crop we expected a few weeks ago," Johnson said. In Ohio, most crops were harvested by Sept. 24 and Sept. 30, when the killing frosts struck. But corn, soybeans, and tomatoes were not. C. William Swan, executive vice president of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, said about a third of the tomato crop and between 10 and 15 per cent of the soybean crop in northeastern Ohio was wiped out. Swan said the corn crop, hurt by dry weather this summer, was reduced another 5 per cent by the frost. The Michigan Crop Reporting Service said some farmers in the southeast corner of the state may ask for disaster aid because of damage to the soybean crop. Damage estimates for the state are not available yet, but are expected to be high, the service said. Earl L. Park, a Purdue University agriculture statistician, says it is possible as much as 6 per cent of the corn and 6 per cent of the soybeans were destroyed in Indiana. Park said 40 per cent of the 5.5 million acres planted in corn was considered not fully safe from freeze; and about 10 per cent of the 3.91 million acres planted in soybeans was in the same category and another 20 per cent susceptible to some damage, Park said. Al Jindra, a state crop statistician in Wisconsin, said the estimated $125 million in crop loss there could climb higher. Jindra said the immature corn and soybeans whose growth was stopped by the frost have low nutritional value and he predicted that many farmers will simply plow them under. In South Dakota, where frost came as early as Sept. 3 in some areas, the damage estimates aren't in yet. But Chuck Hudson, a statistician with the federal Crop and Livestock Reporting Service, says there was extensive damage and said farmers are using considerably more corn for silage than they had planned. One farm official said the frost caused little damage because the damage had already been done. "Our crops were already ruined by the hot and dry weather in July and August," said Vilas Young, regional farm extension agent for northwest Missouri. "By the middle of August, most of the corn already had been ruined and was being cut for silage. The soybeans dried out before they matured and they will be better for hay than for beans." One of the few happy notes came from northwestern New York, hit by temperatures in the low 30s for several days. Kenneth Pollard, merchandising director of the Western New York Apple Growers Association noted that Lake Ontario retains heat and has a moderating influence on early fall temperatures. He said the cold weather "actually allows the trees to harden up and build a resistance to cold temperatures." And Ralph Baldasaro of the New York-New England Apple Institute in Westfield, Mass., dried out before the matured said: "The cold nights and clear days add color to the apple -- that's the finishing process."

On the feast day yesterday that marked the end of the one-month fast of Ramadan, sumptuously robed dignitaries crowded into the colonial mansion of the regional military governor to pay their respects. They were received by the Governor, Capt. Korcissy Tall, who in honor of the day had shed his paratrooper uniform and beret for an elegant white and gold robe and cap.

The only beggars are the usual smiling children who hold out their hands and continue smiling whether something is put in their palm or not. Most of the Tuareg left the camp during the rainy season, which this summer brought what the name promises. Although many had lost all their animals--the average loss in this pastoral region is estimated at 85 per cent--they left toward their old grazing grounds as grass began sprouting. They took with them, Captain Tall said, three months' supply of grain and some powdered milk and cooking oil. Their hope is either to live off the animals that survived or to find clansmen who salvaged more of their animals and with them to reconstitute their herds and lives. In seven to ten years, experts believe, the nomads reconstituted their herds after earlier droughts, to which this region is periodically heir. "It is an experiment," Captain Tall said. "It is bad for them to stay in the camps too long and lose the habit of work. They have to try to resume the work. But if they don't manage, we will have to see what we can do." **Most Returned Last Year** Informed sources reported that in a similar experiment last year, most came back to the camps. Those who did not leave voluntarily have recently been sent out by the administration to gather a kind of wild grain. It grows abundantly and is traditionally used to tide over people in the lean period, when the last year's crop is eaten up and the new crop not in yet. A number of Tuaregs remain near here, living precariously from occasional government handouts and the sale of the milk of their few remaining goats. "We have five left from 100," said a young woman, sitting on a mat outside a traditional low nomad shelter in the desert sand. Her husband seems to prefer to stay near Timbuktu because he occasionally earns a bit of money arranging camel rides for visitors. Those who stay around town strongly express traditional Tuareg animosity to the blacks who govern Mali. The Tuaregs, a Berber, Caucasian people, traditionally lived from the milk and meat of their animals and the work of the black slaves they captured in frequent raids on sedentary villages. Their attitude remains haughty to those of skin darker than theirs, and the governing powers feel little tenderness for the Tuaregs. But diplomatic observers believe that the Government has nonetheless fairly distributed food and other available assistance to the nomads. Now it looks more like a scout camp. Neatly aligned tents shelter only a few hundred nomads--old people and orphans mainly--who have no one to care for them and who have not been able to set out again to try to recreate their traditional way of life, which would depend largely on the animals they lost to the famine. No one in the camp showed signs of undernourishment. The town has resumed its ancient ways. It is no longer inundated by once-proud Tuareg herdsmen who had lost their camels, cattle, sheep and goats and thus had been reduced to selling their swords and their wives' jewelry or to begging for money or food.

Gwen) Newsweek Oct 14, 1974 # Portugal: A Shove Leftward He was Portugal's man on horseback--a general idolized by his troops and loved by his countrymen. And when several hundred junior army officers toppled Europe's oldest Fascist regime last April, they quickly asked Gen. António de Spínola to serve as interim President during the difficult transition period from dictatorship to democracy. But the young army captains, many of them leftists, soon found themselves at odds with the conservative Spínola. The monocled, 64-year-old general appeared to feel he had some sort of Gaullist mandate to rule Portugal as he saw fit--and that meant slowing his nation's rapid swing to the left. Last week, the junior officers decided their idol had to go. They stripped Spínola of virtually all power--and forced the aristocratic general to resign. The showdown had been brewing since mid-July. At that time, the young leaders of the Armed Forces Movement vetoed Spínola's call for early Presidential elections--which he hoped to win before Portugal's long-suppressed Communist and Socialist parties had time to fully organize. Then the captains forced the haughty general to name their leader, left-leaning Col. Vasco dos Santos Gonçalves, as his new Prime Minister. In the weeks that followed, Spínola stumped the country trying to drum up support among Portugal's "silent majority." Two weeks ago, rightists began organizing a big rally in support of Spínola. Fearful that this show of strength might foreshadow a rightist coup, the young officers led by Gonçalves demanded that Spínola ban the rally. No. Kissinger was damn lucky! Gwen Virginian-Pilot, Saturday, October 12, 1974 # Accidental Shot Misses Kissinger DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) -- A submachine gun accidentally discharged aboard Henry A. Kissinger's jet plane at Cairo airport Friday and injured his principal bodyguard only 20 feet from the secretary of state. Fearing a terrorist attack, Kissinger, hurried to his private compartment on the plane and the shutters were drawn. The Secret Service agent, Walter Bothe, 33, of Alexandria, Va., suffered a deep scalp wound and a second wound on the right forearm. "You are damn lucky," Kissinger told Bothe after it was determined that he had not been injured seriously and that the shot came from inside the Boeing 707 when a case carrying the Israeli-made Uzi submachine gun had tumbled from a rack onto the floor. Bothe told a reporter that two other weapons cases were similarly jostled free toward the front of the blue-and-white jet as it taxied off the flight line. Martin Wolfe, a State Department physician, treated the injured agent. The bullet pierced the ceiling of the jet after passing through a cloth bag of Undersecretary of State Joseph J. Sisco.

The New York Times/Oct. 20, 1974 === Page 10 of 12 SCIENCE OF PARAPSYCHOLOGY SUFFERS WATERGATE-LIKE SETBACK # Researcher Admits "Fixing" Data by MALCOLM ABRAMS A brilliant young researcher at the Institute for Parapsychology has confessed to "tampering and fixing" important research studies. In the world of science, there is no greater crime. It comes at a time when the world has reached an historic peak of interest in psychic phenomena. It's a scandal of Watergate proportions from which the science of parapsychology may have difficulty recovering. The researcher is 26-year-old Dr. Jay Levy. For five years he has been the shining star in the fledgling field of parapsychology. ## Honesty Intense, dedicated and loyal, his honesty was beyond question. He had already risen to the directorship of the Parapsychology Institute. His work was highly regarded both in the U.S. and in the international science community. Dr. Levy was called "the next great mind" in the science that deals with the unexplained powers of telepathy, clairvoyance and extrasensory perception. All that's over now. Fittingly, Dr. Levy's resignation was accepted by Dr. J. B. Rhine, head of the Foundation for Research on the Nature of Man. The 78-year-old pioneer in the study of psychic phenomena was the mentor and driving force behind Dr. Levy. And because the Institute is the major research arm of Dr. Rhine's Foundation, he was also Dr. Levy's boss. In an interview with MIDNIGHT, Dr. Rhine assessed his protege: "Dr. Levy is a brilliant chap," Dr. Rhine said. "He was without a doubt one of the most brilliant chaps working in our field. He had a great career in front of him. But now that's over. It is finished. He has moved on to another field. "It was a matter of a man wanting certain test results so badly that he did anything to get them. There was and is no excuse. Any talk about his future will have to come from him," Dr. Rhine said. ## Not Talking But Dr. Jay Levy is not talking about his future, or anything else. He is unreachable. So the story of what happened at the Institute of Parapsychology must come from others. Dr. Rhine supplied MIDNIGHT with many of the details. Additional information was gained from an interview with Dr. Levy's assistant James Davis. At the time of the scandal, Dr. Levy was testing rats for the power of psychokinesis, the ability to move or alter material objects by mental power alone. His results were alarmingly good. So good that his three assistants became suspicious. "We noted Dr. Levy working around one of the automatic data recording devices while experiments were being conducted. This is most unusual," Davis told MIDNIGHT. He decided to check the test results on another set of recording instruments without telling Dr. Levy. Then, while two of the researchers helped Levy, the third hid and watched the young director. Dr. Levy was seen to tamper with the recorder, causing the scores to be higher. The second set of instruments confirmed their suspicions. The scores were lower. ## Cheating Dr. Levy was definitely cheating. Davis and his two colleagues reported their findings to Dr. Rhine. In an article just printed in the Journal of Parapsychology, Dr. Rhine tells the story from that point on. In his account however, to protect Dr. Levy, he has identified him only as "W". "I called W in and confronted him with these observations of his colleagues," Dr. Rhine writes in his report. "Within a matter of minutes he acknowledged the charges, and almost without further discussion he offered his resignation. Under the circumstances, of course I accepted it." Page 2 -- MIDNIGHT October 21, 1974 ![DR. J.B. RHINE] DR. J.B. RHINE === Page 11 of 12 Dr. Levy's confession was brought with remorse. But it was too late. "As he expressed his deep regret," Dr. Rhine recalls, "he added a few words about overwork during recent months. "When asked about the extent of this sort of practice over the five years of his research (including part time) at the Institute, he strongly confirmed that there had been no other instances whatever. This, of course, has to remain uncertain for the present." That uncertainty is tainting the work of honest parapsychologists around the world. Especially those who have based their own research on Dr. Levy's findings. More important still, the Levy scandal has cast a giant shadow over the credibility of psychic study. Worst Possible Time The blow has come at the worst possible time. Parapsychology, after four decades of struggle, was just being accepted as a legitimate science. In 1971, the Parapsychology Association was admitted to the American Association for the Advancement of Science. It was laboratories like those at the Institute for Parapsychology and reputations for integrity like Dr. Rhine's and Dr. Levy's that put it there. Dr. Robert Morris, president of the Parapsychology Association, had called Dr. Levy's research "among the most significant in the field." He has since asked for Dr. Levy's resignation from the association. "This whole thing serves as a reminder that you can't always take research findings at face value," Dr. Morris said. Dr. Rhine agrees. He told MIDNIGHT: "There are no gods in this business. We get results from the efforts of a team of hardworking and dedicated researchers. "The idea of putting faith in the personal honesty of a research worker is old-fashioned." Restore Integrity Now that the damage has been done, it is up to Dr. Rhine, Dr. Morris and others to restore integrity to parapsychology. "The first impact on the general public will be a bad one," Dr. Rhine confided to MIDNIGHT. "Such a disclosure makes the general public even more wary of a field that is hard to prove in the first place. "The more intelligent people, however, will realize that one man's deception will not mar an entire field. We are doing all we can to try and live this down and we will continue to do so." Warning Letters Sent For starters, Dr. Rhine sent warning letters to all persons planning to use Dr. Levy's work in articles, books or other presentations. Next, all of Dr. Levy's past papers and reports have been declared fraudulent. Finally, the validity of Dr. Levy's findings is to depend solely on follow-up studies by other researchers. The end result of the whole affair, Dr. Rhine hopes, will be a greater emphasis on scientific techniques. And less trust in individual integrity. But no amount of patchwork will ever blanket the scandal of Dr. Jay Levy. It will be discussed and debated for many years to come. Still, Dr. Rhine may have already spoken the last definitive words on the affair. "Dr. Levy was a very hard worker but his dedication was overshadowed by his ambition. Maybe that was his trouble. He was too ambitious." Oct. 4, 1974..........SCIENTISTS Just recently I was personally insulted by Dr. Levy...the same you read about here...BEFORE he did his "nutty thing."

And he added: "What flash of insanity provoked him (Tom Woodeshick) to rush off the bench with his fists flurrying?"

The crops will be far from sufficient for the population of 25 million in the seven afflicted sub-Saharan countries, but the rains have revitalized the peoples' hopes for survival and the confidence of the Governments that they, in turn, can play a determining role. Although numbers may never be known in a region in which even the count of the living is far from established, it is assumed that several thousand have died of hunger or of diseases they could not resist because of their weakened state. Most of the deaths have been in Chad, Niger, Mali and Mauritania. Upper Volta, Senegal and Gambia, the other countries of the Sahel -- the geographic name derived from the Arabic word for "fringe"--were less generally or less severely affected. In all seven countries, which were visited in the course of a two-month tour, hundreds of thousands suffered hunger, illness, the loss of livelihoods and Continued on Page 34, Column 1 tirely dependent on foreign funding and on the willingness of the member Governments to delegate powers to a regional organization.

"When the wheels hit the runway at Baltimore-Washington Airport, there was a roar of relief in the cabin," he added. The Colts, after losing on Sunday to the Bills in Buffalo, had been scheduled to go home on a Northwest chartered flight coming from John F. Kennedy Airport late Sunday afternoon. At 8 P.M., after the players had eaten dinner, the plane had not arrived and General Manager Joe Thomas decided the team would stay overnight in Buffalo. At 9:30 Colt officials learned that the plane had crashed near Bear Mountain, N.Y. They immediately told all members of the team so they could call their families and assure them of their safety. "When Cotton Speyrer called his folks in Port Arthur, Texas, his father couldn't believe it was him," said Ernie Accorsi, the team's publicity director. "They had heard on television that the Colts' plane had gone down and that there were no survivors. Mrs. Speyrer was pretty shook up." Most of the players were depressed when they learned the identity of the three crewmen who had perished in the crash. They had flown the Colts to Miami for a game three weeks ago. The team left the Buffalo airport yesterday at 12:30 P.M. with sleet and snow falling heavily. "It was a bad scene for a takeoff," said Accorsi.

The announcement said that unidentified assailants had fired from a vehicle that drew alongside the car carrying the three officials. Premier Edgardo Mercado Jarrín, who is also War Minister and Commander in Chief of the army, escaped injury, the statement said. But Gen.

The National Safety Transportation Board said that this trend developed since 1967 even though plane accidents from other causes were on the downswing. The finding was shown, the board said, in a special study of general aviation--nonairline--accidents from 1964 through 1972. During the eight years, 4,714 persons died in 2,026 general aviation accidents involving bad weather--36.6 per cent of all fatal mishaps among nonairline planes. Such crashes have occurred "with disturbing regularity despite improvements in aircraft, instrumentation, training, training facilities, the air traffic control system, weather facilities, weather services and navigational aids," the board said.

"Oakland is the only consistent team going right now," Landry said. For the first time since 1966, the Cowboys are not in it. Washington put the Cowboys out of the playoffs by defeating Los Angeles Monday night. Landry refused to criticize the Rams for less than a sparkling performance against the Redskins. "I believe you ought to be in control of your own destiny," he said. "We should have won some crucial games We didn't earn the right to be in the playoffs." Although Dallas won seven out of its last eight games and owns an 8-5 record going into Saturday's finale with Oakland, there will be no playoff money this year for the Cowboys. The Redskins' 23-17 victory over the Rams put Dallas in the position of still being able to tie the Redskins and St. Louis but trailing both teams in the important tie-breakers. Landry said he was proud of his team's comeback from a disastrous 1-4 start. **TOM LANDRY Proud OF Comeback** "It was important that we came back from where we were ... we had a chance every game ... it was a credit to our players," said Landry, adding he doesn't feel his perennial powerhouse took a step backward this year. "Some may disagree," he said. "We, of course, didn't have a good training camp and had some tough going early. But we showed a lot of pride." As for himself, Landry said he was going to get in some Christmas shopping right after the Oakland game. "For the first time in nine years, I can take all the time I want."

RYAN Events seem to be closing in on the whites in Rhodesia and South Africa, as if an African version of the domino theory were at work today toward the eventual final end of the "white man's burden" on the Dark Continent. It may take time before a final punctuation mark is in place after centuries of white domination over the continent, but the current is strong and may prove irresistible in the long run. What began as a landslide of independence in the 1960s gathered such momentum that it reached the proportions of an avalanche, all but burying white colonial rule. Portugal, which had five centuries of uninterrupted rule over vast African areas, is finished now and there's not much white supremacy left. Remaining in ruling capacity thereafter will be about 4 million whites in South Africa, about 18 per cent of that nation's population, and a tiny minority of 250,000 in Rhodesia, only 4 per cent of its people. For the Rhodesian regime of Prime Minister Ian Smith, things already look desperate. So long as there were friendly Portuguese rule in Mozambique to the east and the regime of Prime Minister John Vorster to the south, it had seemed safe enough for Smith to defy his innumerable critics. But within six months or so, the Mozambique government will become unfriendly. The Portuguese will leave and Frelimo, the guerrilla organization that fought white rule for years, will take over under independence. There goes the railhead on the Indian Ocean upon which Smith's landlocked economy has relied. To the south, Vorster seems primarily interested in Vorster right now and in salvaging whatever is salvageable. That means the South African government cannot be expected for long to continue to be a prop under Smith. Already there are signs that Vorster's government is ready to offer some significant relaxation of the apartheid policy of strict segregation of races that had seemed so unalterably entrenched. As for his white colleague in Rhodesia, unless Smith himself can salvage something through concessions, he is unlikely to get much more direct help from South Africa. Vorster seems to have made it clear that he hopes to be able to do business with a stable black government in Rhodesia and that he probably would find it preferable to an unstable white one. The question now is whether Smith can actually salvage anything in the long run. In the north, he has been fighting a stubborn guerrilla movement that is allied with Frelimo, whence come training and probably arms. He is surrounded everywhere, except due south, by hostile black regimes. Some whites have been leaving with whatever assets they could take with them. For the Rhodesian white regime, then, the handwriting may already be visible on the wall. Should it crumble, South Africa will be all alone, and perhaps its days, too, may seem numbered. Several years ago I stated all white control would draw out from Africa and eventually restore Africa to its owners the blacks and it is coming to pass (See your files.) E. Gwen === Page 4 of 4 JAPAN: The six that I have removed yet another former # Tanaka Bows Out Kakuei Tanaka is a rare Japanese politician--an Oriental Horatio Alger who overcame both his humble beginnings and lack of education to scramble his way to the top. But recently the Prime Minister seemed to have lost that lean and hungry look. Thus one morning last week, Tanaka rose early, put in a call to his aging mother, paused briefly to feed his prize carp and then drove off to his official residence for a short, stiff-necked meeting with four elders of the ruling Liberal Democratic party. There, he announced his intention to become the first Prime Minister in postwar Japanese history to resign from office under a cloud of scandal. In bowing out, he touched off a complex struggle for the succession. Backstage maneuvering to oust Tanaka and pick a successor actually started several weeks ago when it became clear he couldn't survive an avalanche of charges against him. He faced an official investigation of his questionable methods of raising political funds, his irregular land dealings on which he built a personal fortune, and even the fact that he kept one--or more--mistresses in a tastelessly public way. The threat that such affairs might be exposed in embarrassing detail caused an excruciating family quarrel with his daughter Makiko that apparently tilted him in favor of resignation. "Politicians," remarked a Tanaka associate, "are able to weather trouble outside their homes, but if they also have trouble in their own homes, then it will usually wreck them." In the end, Tanaka acknowledged his "personal shame" and said he regretted bringing "a torrent of rain" on the future of his country. With Tanaka gone, the most pressing order of business for the Liberal Democrats will be to paper up the cracks in party unity and pick a successor. That will not be easy. Tanaka's bulldozer tactics had left behind a residue of bitterness unparalleled in postwar politics. Among four major contenders for his job (page 57), the most likely candidates were former Finance Minister Takeo Fukuda, who helped bring Tanaka down by quitting the Cabinet last summer, and the current Finance Minister, Masayoshi Ohira, whom Tanaka and his powerful faction are supporting. In years past, liberal dollops of political money and behind-the-scenes horse-trading would have lined up the necessary votes to make one of them a certain winner. But the Tanaka scandal has made money politics taboo in Japan. As a result, there seemed a strong chance last week that each man might cancel out the other and open the way for one of two aging party war-horses, Etsusaburo Shiina or Shigesaburo Maeo, as an interim leader. The trouble is that most Liberal Democrats feel a vital need for strong leadership to cleanse the party's soiled reputation and guide the country out of its current economic morass. Party Secretary-General Susumu Nikaido has been drinking many ritual cups of tea at the homes of party elders while he makes soundings for a consensus. The major contenders themselves, Newsweek's Tokyo bureau chief Bernard Krisher reported, are lying low. "Everyone is staying at home or in his office close to the phone," cabled Krisher. "Wives of politicians are calling other wives to try to get them to use their influence on their husbands. And no one is leaving Tokyo for fear that people might think that they are not important enough to be consulted on the succession." Fire Storm: However the struggle is resolved, no one expects a radical shift in policy. A Fukuda government might move a notch to the right in economic and other domestic affairs and could conceivably cool down Japan's new friendship with Peking. Ohira, on the other hand, would probably continue most of Newsweek, December 9, 1974 Declaration in January Va.

Collins Tuesday said he reached his conclusion through informal discussions with SWCB staff members. The board has been considering such a move since it held public hearings on the issue in Norfolk in September. Mrs. Wayne Jackson, a water Control Board member, said that, based on the testimony she heard at the hearing, the designation will be made when the SWCB meets Jan. 23-24. If declared, a critical groundwater area would mean that all wells drawing more than 50,000 gallons per day be registered with the state for monitoring, that there be no increased usage without a permit, and that no new wells using more than 50,000 gallons a day can be dug without SWCB approval.

Brezhnev has relinquished his duties as Communist party leader because of illness. The Press Trust of India (PTI), quoting informed sources in Moscow, said the 68-year-old Brezhnev "has taken leave of his responsibilities" because of exhaustion, age, illness, and emotional stress caused by his mother's death last week. The report did not say he had resigned. PTI said Brezhnev "evidently is resting and undergoing treatment not far from Moscow but is available to his colleagues for urgent counsel." The agency did not list any specific illness. PTI, an independent agency owned by Indian newspapers as a cooperative, said that its sources "summarily dismiss talk of a power struggle as the cause or the likely consequence of Brezhnev's withdrawal." In a related development, British Broadcasting Corp. and another Indian news agency, United News of India, reported in New Delhi that Mrs. Gandhi had postponed a planned visit to Moscow next month. An Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman said no date for the visit had ever been set "and so the question of postponement does not arise." Reports on Brezhnev's health have circulated in the foreign press for weeks, and he has been variously reported suffering from pneumonia, heart trouble, and leukemia. During that time, Soviet spokesmen have refused to comment or even respond to inquires on the subject. Tass, the official Soviet news agency, reported last week that Brezhnev attended the funeral of his 87-year-old mother and at that time described speculation about his health as "groundless inventions." But the agency has not yet distributed promised photos of Brezhnev at the cemetery. The Soviet press has continued to mention Brezhnev's name frequently. Saturday's edition of Pravda had it five times. Speculation on Brezhnev's health began last month after he postponed a planned planned trip to Egypt. He failed also to meet Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam or Japanese Foreign Minister Kiichi Miyazawa during their recent visits to Moscow, although both leaders wanted to see him. LEONID I.

SI WORK ON PREMIERS, ETC. === Page 2 of 8 FROM THE DESD OF Mr. Ted Owens (PK MAN)---------- Box 43 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 Jan. 27, 1975 Dr. Edis, quon sus amigos Dris Martin and Mucho... A note in two parts...first to thank you fellows for repairing this busted mechanism. Am grateful for it. (Bilateral hernia repair.) Second...wanted to give you some suggestions that I think would be helpful for patients like myself having the same thing done. A brochure, I think...would be most helpful given to them just pre-op...so that they would know what to expect, and how to handle it. The evening before my operation...I used auto-hypnosis...and filled in for my subconscious mind...what was going to happen. I told it...that my body was going to be violated...cut upon...but not to be concerned about it because it would be done safely, and would be done to repair my body...a necessity. Then I used mental imagery to show my subconscious what the actual operation would be like...pictures shown in a medical book of the hernia repair. So...it was ready and there should have been no typical shock or bodily reaction, since the subconscious was alerted and ready to cooperate. Next...I was operated on between 3 and 4, I think, on Monday afternoon. All that evening and night...I deferred on pain shots...every time the nurse offered me them (which seemed like on the hour, but I was drowsy and could be wrong on that.) The point is...I was trying to take advantage of the fact that my body actually had pain. You see, normally...our body is not filled with pain. But an operation of this sort...gives one a priceless opportunity to learn about bodily pain; and to test the pain-threshold. I found that I could stand pain rather easily. === Page 3 of 8 2 S'posin that ten years from now...I'd get stomach cancer or something like that. Well, after experimenting after your operation...I have a good idea of the amounts of pain I can stand...and over what period of time. In other words...if, after such an operation...one wills to go without pain shots or pain pills...just in order to learn what one can of pain in the body...how much one can stand...then one is way ahead of the game. Furthermore...I made a game out of it. I made friends with the pain. Joined it, rather than tensed against it. Told it it was welcome...and to blend in with me. This seemed to work...I felt pain, but it didn't hurt. After I found out what I wanted to know...about Tuesday evening, I think it was...I took a red pain pill and dropped my pain learning program, since it was no longer necessary. (And by the way...you sent me home to Virginia with a large bottle of red pain pills. I've been home now for about ten days, and have only used two pills out of the bottle.) Next...as you know, I got out of bed and began to walk the morning after the operation. Which is as it should be. That was Tuesday morning. And I practiced a lot that day, walking up and down the hall. That evening the nurse that went off at 8:30 came in and ordered me to walk again. I told her that I'd do better than that...and sprung up into the air and danced around the room...then ran out into the hall and ran down the hall to the desk at the far end, then ran back again to the room. Ran, not walked. I was curious in my mind to see if I could...and it was easy to do. Now, I do not know if anyone could do that the day after a double hernia repair...but it was easy for me to do. (I was concerned the next day, after thinking about it...that I might have pulled stitches loose...but you reassured me on that.) Another point...you know how the nurse has to lift the patient's legs up onto the bed after an abdominal operation? Mine did, and it irked me. Because I felt that I'd recuperate faster if I had no help like that. But as you know...that's a long distance to swing one's feet up onto a bed, after such a painful operation. Okay. It can easily be done by the patient...without any help from the nurse...allowing the patient to get in and out of bed on his own at any time. Simply sit on the bed...hook a toe underneath the stool nearby...drag it over...swing the left foot up and onto the stool...then the right foot...then slide the stool with the feet over beside the bed...and repeat...left foot up onto the bed, right foot up onto the bed. And that's that. Simple. Yet I am sure most patients would not figure that out, or know about it...which is why a little brochure would teach them about it...and free the nurse from those bothersome calls to help the patient get in and out of bed. (To get out of bed, the process is simply reversed, using the sliding stool.) Finally...the nurses could not understand why I had the heat turned off in the room...and the room was ice-cold. Simple. Remember...I was working in full cooperation with my subconscious mind...and that was what it wanted. Why? Because my body was building up heat...to repair the cutting done on it. Heat outside my body....in the room...worked against the process. The inner healing process. Like a teeter-totter, inner heat for healing purposes...balanced nicely against the coolness, or cold, outside my body. A teeter-totter in balance, I should add. Balance. That was the thing. Temperature balance. Inside against the outside. Thank you all again. Best regards....

Hunt... was my enemy. This is the Si way... of handling things. - Owens XPK Man X DALLAS--People at the Texas State Fair a few years back were startled to find, at a modest booth displaying his products, the lofty figure of Haroldson Lafayette Hunt, smiling benignly at the world of which he owned so large a slice and doling out 3 pound plastic bags of goodies. "Takers found inside copies of Hunt's book 'Alpaca,' which explains why the rich should inherit the Earth; a packet of his 'Life Line Freedom Talks,' which told how the Communists will probably do so instead, and a free sample of Gastromatic, an H. L. Hunt product guaranteed to dispel painful gas, of which the oil billionaire was a victim. In blue bow-tie, with tufts of white hair at his ears, Hunt looked like the kindly judge in an Andy Hardy movie. "I'm here to save the Republic," he affirmed, in reedy tones. "The Kremlin plans to take us over in three years. Read my books and you'll see!" Now Hunt is dead, at 85, and the horrendous tangle of lawsuits, charges and countercharges, dirty linen and uncloseted skeletons he has left to his heirs indicate that, if the Hunts are typical American zillionaires, the rich are in grave trouble. The lid has come off a bizarre family feud for the old man's money. It involves wiretapping, purloined papers, charges of bribery, plea-bargaining in high places and an exotic dash of international high politics that pits Al Fatah's guerrillas against the Federal Bureau of Investigation. A hush-hush yearlong investigation into the affair by the Justice Department is about to end with a string of indictments. Caught in the web of the inquiry are a ranking senator from Texas; its former governor, John B. Connally; a brace of Richard M. Nixon's attorneys-general and, of course, the former President himself, without whom no scandal these days is complete. Among the Big Rich of Big D -- as Dallas residents like to call their city--it was long believed that the Hunt problems began some two decades ago when HLH's first wife, Lyda Bunker, was dying of cancer. Hunt grew dependent on his personal secretary, Ruth Ray Wright, who was 30 years his junior. The first Mrs. Hunt had been dead two years when, in 1957, HLH married the girl. This move confronted the six children of his first bed--Lamar, Nelson Bunker, W. Herbert, H. L. Jr., Margaret and Carolyn--with a stepmother in their own age bracket and four healthy young rivals in the next-of-kin stakes: her children, Ray Lee, June, Helen and Swanee. The four were at first attributed to "a former marriage," but some time after Hunt formally adopted them, the second Mrs. Hunt revealed--apparently to strengthen their claims on the inheritance--that her husband was, indeed, their father. Ruth, an enthusiastic member of the local Baptist choir, set her mind to converting HLH--no more gambling or cigars--and eventually led the old man, along with his new family, to Dallas' First Baptist Church, the largest in the world, where under the egis of Billy Graham all six were baptized by immersion together. === Page 5 of 8 In the course, Ray Lee left college to go into real estate, a Hunt sideline; June went on tour as a gospel singer and Helen and Swanee married. Their husbands were taken into the business. Both branches of the family presented the patriarch with grandchildren and great-grandchildren until the total of punitive beneficiaries rose to 40. Hunt, a onetime farm boy, lumberjack and cowhand, struck it rich in the 1920s. Old hands swear that he got his start by staking $50,000 in poker winnings on a property that turned out to cover a lake of oil 45 miles by 9 miles. When the money rolled in, he would risk thousands on a horse or the turn of a card. The money still rolls in today on an ever-mounting tide, in line with the high profits throughout the oil industry. Immense reserves await tapping, when prices soar still further. All this is in addition to real estate holdings, timber, a canning plant, drug companies, ranchland and cattle. Hunt refused to bid for anything he could not own outright. He must have absolute control: no pesky shareholders, directors, balance sheets for public disclosure. Hunt Oil was a private company, and so were its affairs. "Rich men are ill-advised to call attention to their wealth in any way," he snapped, when asked why there were No Hunt foundations for health, education, the arts. HLH did spend some millions on the fervidly anti-Communist 'Life Line' broadcasts he sponsored on 541 radio stations, but because they enjoyed tax-exempt status, this favorite hobby horse was exercised entirely at Uncle Sam's expenses. Four years ago, Hunt's grip on his affairs began to slacken. He was confined first to a wheel chair, tended always by Ruth, then to a hospital bed. The old guard at Hunt Oil began getting orders from plump Vice President Nelson Bunker, the heir-apparent, and his closely allied brother, Herbert. One executive who resented the change was Paul M. Rothermel Jr., for 15 years HLH's confidant, bodyguard and whipping boy. Rothermel, a former FBI man and an attorney, had known and admired the second Mrs. Hunt throughout that time. He also knew that Hunt, while putting enough in trust funds to make his first six children multimillionaires in their own right, had given scant thought to Ruth's family. "Mr. Hunt relied on my judgment," he said. "He even gave me a letter approving transactions I might make on his behalf. So I felt a duty to persuade him in 1969 to change his will to benefit the second family. But when the first lot heard of this, some odd things happened." Rothermel's wife, Joyce, wondered about two men in a red Thunderbird always outside her home. The driver, questioned by police, turned out to be a private eye, one J.J. Kelly. "When I asked if he was on a divorce case" a policeman said later, "he stepped on the gas and took off. If he hadn't panicked, none of this would have come out." In the car were $40,000 worth of tapping equipment and some 100 tapes of bugged conversations. But J. J. Kelly stayed defiantly mute, even when the FBI discovered wiretaps on Rothermel and the homes of three other Hunt Oil executives. Kelly and his lieutenant, Patrick McCann, were confident that "dollar power" would see them through. Instead, they received three years apiece. Furious, they turned state's evidence, and proudly disdaining hush money, according to their story -- at last named their paymasters. Bunker and Herbert were brought to court, Texas style, in steel bracelets and chains, to be indicted on wiretapping charges. Kelly confessed that he'd been beguiled by "men of vast fortunes who merely wanted to escalate their wealth and power." NELSON BUNKER HUNT LAMAR HUNT W. HERBERT HUNT The Hunts recovered the legal initiative with a suit against Rothermel -- who had by now left their father's employ -- and two executives associated with him. It was alleged that they siphoned off scores of millions of dollars into dummy companies, and it was simply to trace these funds that the detectives had been hired. The two executives protested in court that groundless embezzlement charges had been brought "simply to discredit and coerce us as pawns in the struggle for the Hunt fortune." They also raised some eyebrows by contending that, on behalf of the Hunts, they had undertaken numerous clandestine deals involving "holders and seekers of office, labor leaders, professional sports figures." Then Kelly sued Bunker and company for $100 million complaining they had ruined his reputation and career, even threatened him with force. Not to be left out, the Rothermels stepped in with a $1.5-million suit against the Hunts. Mrs. Rothermel, a psychiatrist's aide, complained of eavesdropping on her patients. Rothermel, who had access to the old man's files for years, is busy on a book about it all -- he'd like the world to know more about "the man who played God." Rothermel said HLH allowed his sons to bring their suits "to keep peace in the family" -- a somewhat forlorn hope. Now that his influence has gone, Bunker's instincts will take over. A weighty, more aggressive chip off the old block, Nelson Bunker Hunt, 48, is the family's business brain. His gambling streak has lately been channeled into the commodities market in silver and sugar, as well as into racehorse owning and breeding on an international scale. The Hunt lawyers allege that originally Nixon and his men promised Bunker immunity in exchange for certain (unspecified) favors. "Our clients performed," they say, "but indictments were handed down anyway." The deal, according to Hunt Oil sources, was a perfectly proper tradeoff. Wiretap charges would be dropped if the Hunts give the FBI a list of Al Fatah agents in the United States. At that time, in 1972, the Nixonites had evidence that Al Fatah was seeking a foothold in America. They even feared an attempt on Mrs. Golda Meir, who was soon to visit New York. The FBI had burgled the offices of the Arab Information Center in Dallas, where the Hunts had contacts -- with what success is not known. Next the FBI turned to the Hunts, who were in a position to know Al Fatah personnel in the U.S. Bunker had high-level friends in the Arab world, who were trying to help him dissuade Libya's Col. Mummar Kadafi from taking over the Hunt oil wells in the Libyan desert. Libya was Bunker's fief. He had negotiated in person the deals that had given Hunt International its vast holdings there, and he had celebrated the inauguration of the empire with a ball for 500 (tax deductible) guests in London with three name bands flown there from the United States. Because of the dispute with Kadafi, which had promised to deal America, in the shape of Bunker Hunt, "a slap in its cold, arrogant face," there had been threats from Al Fatah, which the Libyan revolutionary subsidized. Bunker was a target for === Page 6 of 8 my predict banks will fail it's beginning. everywhere soon, Owens A2 Virginian-Pilot, Monday, January 20, 1975 # Foundering Bank Is Sold WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The Security National Bank of Hempstead, N.Y., with $1.8 billion in assets and facing failure, was sold today to the giant Chemical Bank of New York City, the nation's seventh largest bank. All depositors of Security National will automatically become depositors of the Chemical Bank, which takes over "virtually all other liabilities," said James E. Smith, U.S. comptroller of currency. Chemical said it paid $40 million in cash to acquire Security National, the nation's 55th largest bank. Details of the purchase were to be announced by Chemical Bank today. The purchase had to be approved by the Federal Reserve Board and the New York state superintendent of banks after Smith's finding that "external forces and public confidence have adversely affected the operations and condition of Security to the point that an emergency exists," the FRB said. Bill Foster, a spokesman for the comptroller, said, "Security was faced with probable failure unless the takeover could be arranged. That finding (by Smith) was necessary in order to permit the Boards of Directors to enter into the transactions without prior approval of the shareholders." The FRB said that Chemical Bank's action "will minimize the secondary effects of uncertainty and doubt on banking and financial markets generally." Chemical has assets of $17.8 billion. As of Monday, all 98 offices of Security were to become branches of Chemical, which already has 181 offices in the New York area. The surprise deal was worked out Saturday and Sunday by the Boards of Directors of the two banks, who were given approval by New York state superintendent of banks, the Federal Reserve Board, and the U.S. comptroller, whose office oversees all national banks. Smith said the purchase was a "very constructive result for the Security National Bank shareholders and depositors for the Chemical Bank and for the public interest in a stable and healthy banking system." It was third major banking failure in recent months. The Franklin National Bank of New York, the nation's 20th largest, was declared insolvent by the federal government last October after it lost nearly $40 million in foreign currency dealings. The bank was taken over by a consortium of six large European banks. The worst previous bank failure came in late 1973 when the U.S. National Bank of San Diego went into receivership. Get your money out of banks. liquidate your stocks. Owens 1/24/75 === Page 7 of 8 of course, Ray Lee left college to go into real estate, a sideline; June went on tour as a gospel singer and Helen and Swanee married. Their husbands were taken into the business. Both branches of the family presented the patriarch with grandchildren and great-grandchildren until the total of putative beneficiaries rose to 40. Hunt, a onetime farm boy, lumberjack and cowhand, struck it rich in the 1920s. Old hands swear that he got his start by staking $50,000 in poker winnings on a property that turned out to cover a lake of oil 45 miles by 9 miles. When the money rolled in, he would risk thousands on a horse or the turn of a card. The money still rolls in today on an ever-mounting tide, in line with the high profits throughout the oil industry. Immense reserves await tapping, when prices soar still further. All this is in addition to real estate holdings, timber, a canning plant, drug companies, ranchland and cattle. Hunt refused to bid for anything he could not own outright. He must have absolute control: no pesky shareholders, directors, balance sheets for public disclosure. Hunt Oil was a private company, and so were its affairs. "Rich men are ill-advised to call attention to their wealth in any way," he snapped, when asked why there were No Hunt foundations for health, education, the arts. HLH did spend some millions on the fervidly anti-Communist 'Life Line' broadcasts he sponsored on 541 radio stations, but because they enjoyed tax-exempt status, this favorite hobby horse was exercised entirely at Uncle Sam's expenses. Four years ago, Hunt's grip on his affairs began to slacken. He was confined first to a wheel chair, tended always by Ruth, then to a hospital bed. The old guard at Hunt Oil began getting orders from plump Vice President Nelson Bunker, the heir-apparent, and his closely allied brother, Herbert. One executive who resented the change was Paul M. Rothermel Jr., for 15 years HLH's confidant, bodyguard and whipping boy. Rothermel, a former FBI man and an attorney, had known and admired the second Mrs. Hunt throughout that time. He also knew that Hunt, while putting enough in trust funds to make his first six children multimillionaires in their own right, had given scant thought to Ruth's family. "Mr. Hunt relied on my judgment," he said. "He even gave me a letter NELSON BUNKER HUNT LAMAR HUNT W. HERBERT HUNT The Hunts recovered the legal initiative with a suit against Rothermel -- who had by now left their father's employ -- and two executives associated with him. It was alleged that they siphoned off scores of millions of dollars into dummy companies, and it was simply to trace these funds that the detectives had been hired. The two executives protested in court that groundless embezzlement charges had been brought "simply to discredit and coerce us as pawns in the struggle for the Hunt fortune." They also raised some eyebrows by contending that, on behalf of the Hunts, they had undertaken numerous clandestine deals involving "holders and seekers of office, labor leaders, professional sports figures." Then Kelly sued Bunker and company for $100 million complaining they had ruined his reputation and career, even threatened him with force. Not to be left out, the Rothermels stepped in with a $1.5-million suit against the Hunts. Mrs. Rothermel, a psychiatrist's aide, complained of eavesdropping on her patients. Rothermel, who had access to the old man's files for years, is busy on a book about it all -- he'd like the world to know more about "the man who played God." Rothermel said HLH allowed his sons to bring their suits "to keep peace in the family" -- a somewhat forlorn hope. Now that his influence has gone, Bunker's instincts will take over. A weighty, more aggressive chip off the old block, Nelson Bunker Hunt, 48, is the family's business brain. His gambling streak has lately been channeled into the commodities market in silver and sugar, as well as into racehorse owning and breeding on an international scale. The Hunt lawyers allege that originally Nixon and his men promised Bunker immunity in exchange for certain (unspecified) favors. "Our clients performed," they say, "but indictments were handed down anyway." The deal, according to Hunt Oil sources, was a perfectly proper "tradeoff. Wiretap charges would be dropped if the Hunts give the FBI a list of Al Fatah agents in the United States. At that time, in 1972, the Nixonites had evidence that Al Fatah was seeking a foothold in America. They even feared an attempt on Mrs. Golda Meir, who was soon to visit New York. The FBI had burgled the offices of the Arab Information Center in Dallas, where the Hunts had contacts -- with what success is not known. Next the FBI turned to the Hunts, who were in a position to know Al Fatah personnel in the U.S. Bunker had high-level friends in the Arab world, who were trying to help him dissuade Libya's Col. Mummar Kadafi from taking over the Hunt oil wells in the Libyan desert. Libya was Bunker's fief. He had negotiated in person the deals that had given Hunt International its vast holdings there, and he had celebrated the inauguration of the empire with a ball for 500 (tax deductible) guests in London with three name bands flown there from the United States. Because of the dispute with Kadafi, which had promised to deal America, in the shape of Bunker Hunt, "a slap in its cold, arrogant face," there had been threats from Al Fatah, which the Libyan revolutionary subsidized. Bunker was a target for approving transactions I might make on his behalf. So I felt a duty to persuade him in 1969 to change his will to benefit the second family. But when the first lot heard of this, some odd things happened." Rothermel's wife, Joyce, wondered about two men in a red Thunderbird always outside her home. The driver, questioned by police, turned out to be a private eye, one J.J. Kelly. "When I asked if he was on a divorce case" a policeman said later, "he stepped on the gas and took off. If he hadn't panicked, none of this would have come out." In the car were $40,000 worth of tapping equipment and some 100 tapes of bugged conversations. But J. J. Kelly stayed defiantly mute, even when the FBI discovered wiretaps on Rothermel and the homes of three other Hunt Oil executives. Kelly and his lieutenant, Patrick McCann, were confident that "dollar power" would see them through. Instead, they received three years apiece. Furious, they turned state's evidence, and proudly disdaining hush money, according to their story -- at last named their paymasters. Bunker and Herbert were brought to court, Texas style, in steel bracelets and chains, to be indicted on wiretapping charges. Kelly confessed that he'd been beguiled by "men of vast fortunes who merely wanted to escalate their wealth and power." === Page 8 of 8 Scientists Have another Premier, President, etc. Red Chief 'Cedes' Powers MOSCOW (AP) -- Soviet officials were either unavailable or not talking Saturday about an Indian news report that Leonid I. Brezhnev has relinquished his duties as Communist party leader because of illness. The Press Trust of India (PTI), quoting informed sources in Moscow, said the 68-year-old Brezhnev "has taken leave of his reponsibilities" because of exhaustion, age, illness, and emotional stress caused by his mother's death last week. LEONID I. BREZHNEV . . . reportedly ill The report did not say he had resigned. PTI said Brezhnev "evidently is resting and undergoing treatment not far from Moscow but is available to his colleagues for urgent counsel." The agency did not list any specific illness. PTI, an independent agency owned by Indian newspapers as a cooperative, said that its sources "summarily dismiss talk of a power struggle as the cause or the likely consequence of Brezhnev's withdrawal." In a related development, British Broadcasting Corp. and another Indian news agency, United News of India, reported in New Delhi that Mrs. Gandhi had postponed a planned visit to Moscow next month. An Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman said no date for the visit had ever been set "and so the question of postponement does not arise." Reports on Brezhnev's health have circulated in the foreign press for weeks, and he has been variously reported suffering from pneumonia, heart trouble, and leukemia. During that time, Soviet spokesmen have refused to comment or even respond to inquires on the subject. Tass, the official Soviet news agency, reported last week that Brezhnev attended the funeral of his 87-year-old mother and at that time described speculation about his health as "groundless inventions." But the agency has not yet distributed promised photos of Brezhnev at the cemetery. The Soviet press has continued to mention Brezhnev's name frequently. Saturday's edition of Pravda had it five times. Speculation on Brezhnev's health began last month after he postponed a planned trip to Egypt. He failed also to meet Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam or Japanese Foreign Minister Kiichi Miyazawa during their recent visits to Moscow, although both leaders wanted to see him. Va. Pilot 1/19/75 Brezhnev Heart Attack Reported L.A. Times/Washington Post News Service WARSAW--Soviet Party Secretary Leonid Brezhnev suffered a heart attack Dec. 19, his 68th birthday, reliable sources said here Tuesday. The sources said Brezhnev, a heavy smoker, had suffered two previous heart attacks. The sources said Brezhnev is resting and will officially resume his activities when British Prime Minister Harold Wilson visits Moscow next month. The sources said the heart attack had not affected Brezhnev's position in the ruling Soviet Politburo. They added, however, that because of his health Brezhnev is thinking of stepping down next year after the Soviet Communist Party Congress. He would still keep his Politburo seat. The sources named as his likeliest successor as party leader Fedoro Kulakov, a member of the Politburo and central committee secretary in charge of agriculture. 1/22/75 ... SI WORK ON PREMIERS, ETC.

The cause of the accident still was under investigation Tuesday, spokesmen said. The incident marked the third ejection from an Oceana aircraft in several weeks. Two crewmen recently bailed out of a Phantom jet before it crashed at sea. Both survived. Still earlier, a radar intercept officer was lost after ejecting from another Phantom for unexplained reasons. That plane was landed safely by the pilot. === Page 5 of 11 April 28, 1975 Scientists ... here are more reports still... of the past effects of my PK "attack" on this area via radar, some time ago.

Relatives of the men became concerned when the barge did not appear at Cape Charles when it was due Saturday afternoon.

But it could be too late to keep the Communists from seizing the last quarter of South Vietnam by force. Scientists... if a world leader is war-oriented, or obstructing peace... as I've said before... the UFO's and I... will get them removed. Owens # The Virginian-Pilot ESTABLISHED NOVEMBER 21, 1865 Page A8 Tuesday, April 22, 1975 # After So Much Lying South Vietnamese President Thieu's resignation was no more pleasant than the rest of the story. But like Saigon's doom, it was inevitable. Indeed, the Ford Administration last week indicated, while continuing to insist from the other side of its mouth that South Vietnam could save itself if only Congress would supply it funds, that Mr. Thieu's departure would be welcome. For the onrushing Communists long since had vowed never again to try to negotiate a cease-fire or settlement with Mr. Thieu. Perhaps he got out too late. He seemed to recognize the possibility when he said "I resign to see, after there is no more Mr. Thieu, whether negotiations will be satisfactory." Or did he speak only in bitterness? Certainly he was bitter toward the United States. He accused Secretary of State Kissinger of delivering "our people to such a disastrous fate"--an unfair denunciation, but understandable, considering the flamboyance of the role Mr. Kissinger had played for President Nixon and then for himself and President Ford in Indochina. Poor Mr. Kissinger. He caught it also from the Viet Cong's Provisional Revolutionary Government in Paris. The Viet Cong was mistrustful of the Thieu resignation. "The Nguyen Van Thieu clique must be overthrown and replaced by an administration wishing peace, independence, democracy, and national concord," it said. As flagrantly as it and its North Vietnamese ally had violated the 1973 Paris peace accords, it was justified at least in its suspicion that Mr. Thieu never intended to meet the peace terms either, especially the article calling for a National Council of Reconciliation and Accord. Whether the Communists will regard Vice President Tran Van Huong, who succeeded to the South Vietnamese presidency, as being above the "Thieu clique" is doubtful, despite Mr. Huong's reputation for honesty and competence. Nevertheless, the wind-down in South Vietnam need not be as wretched and tragic as the years-long events leading to it. The Viet Cong's hint that it would not interfere with the evacuation of Americans from Saigon was welcome. And the French government's offer of its good offices to the belligerents in an urgent call for negotiations was, beyond a practical step toward diplomacy, an invitation for all the 1973 Paris signatories to inject international responsibility into the Vietnam War's wreckage. Mr. Thieu's parting blast at the United States should be kept in perspective. It should be no influence in Washington's decisions on how to meet its humanitarian obligations to the South Vietnamese people. Generosity will not atone for old mistakes, but it should prove beneficial to American unity while easing the American sorrow--the American humiliation--of a lost cause. Barbara Tuchman, herself a historian of great accomplishment, may have forecast history's judgment of America's Indochina adventure when she said the other day that President Johnson lied us into South Vietnam, President Nixon lied us into Cambodia, and President Ford and Secretary Kissinger were lying us out of the area. Once the American government has finished this last withdrawal, it should rededicate itself to simple truth. === Page 7 of 11 Yet another Pres., Chief of State, etc., out! A8 Virginian-Pilot, Wednesday, April 23, 1975 Military Ousts The Sin & I are doing fine! # Chief of Honduras ## Tax Bribe On Bananas In Probe TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) -- The Honduran military ousted Gen. Oswaldo Lopez Arellano as chief of state Tuesday shortly after he was reported to have refused to let a commission investigating a banana-tax bribe examine his foreign bank accounts. Two weeks ago United Brands Co. acknowledged paying $1.25 million to high officials of this Central American country to gain lower banana export taxes. The company did not name any officials, but the Wall Street Journal reported that the money went to Lopez Arellano. He called the report "slanders" and set up the investigating body. An announcement on national radio said the military took the step against Lopez Arellano "to safeguard the integrity and honor of the country." First reports indicated that the coup d'etat was bloodless. The streets of Tegucigalpa were peaceful, with no unusual troop movements. The radio announcement said Col. Juan Alberto Melgar, 45, had replaced Lopez Arellano, 53, as head of state. Younger officers had already nudged Lopez Arellano out of his post as head of the armed forces, ostensibly to allow him more time for affairs of state. Melgar took over the military job March 31. University rector Arturo Reina, chairman of the banana investigating commission, released a statement Tuesday morning saying that all officials under investigation had given the commission power to look at their foreign bank accounts except for Lopez Arellano. The national leader, he said, "is obstructing the work" of the commission. Then Reina left on a flight for the United States to continue the investigation, and Lopez Arellano was ousted a short time later. United Brands, which sells Chiquita brand bananas in the United States, acknowledged the $1.25 million payment after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed suit against the company accusing it of transferring money to Honduran officials through a Swiss bank account. A banana tax of $1 on each 40-pound box was set in April 1974 by the Honduran government, but it was not collected, and the tax was reduced to between 25 and 30 cents a box. LOPEZ ARELLANO . . . . . . foreign accounts It was the 23rd coup d'etat in Honduras' 151 years of independence. Lopez Arellano had held power by virtue of two coups. He first took power in 1963 by ousting President Ramon Villeda. He was later elected to a constitutional term and served as president from 1965 to 1969. He seized power again in 1972 by overthrowing elected President Ramon E. Cruz. Honduras, with 2.8 million people, has a weak economy based on the export of bananas, sugar, and coffee. Hurricane Fifi last September devastated the northern agricultural area. === Page 8 of 11 Yet another Premier, King, etc. removed THE NEW YORK TIMES, MONDAY, APRIL 14, 1975 Sadat's Premier Steps Down In Cairo Public-Welfare Drive By HENRY TANNER Special to The New York Times CAIRO, April 13--President Anwar el-Sadat today accepted the resignation of Premier Abdel Aziz Hegazi. Informed Government sources said that Mr. Sadat's choice as new premier was Mamdouk Salem, a former police officer who has been Interior Minister for four years but no announcement to this effect was made pending a televised address by Mr. Sadat tomorrow night. Mr. Salem has had the rank of Deputy Premier for the last two years. A new Cabinet will be named later this week, with several new ministers. Foreign Minister Ismail Fahmy, who has played a key role in Mr. Sadat's policy of close cooperation with the United States, is expected to retain his job and to be promoted to Deputy Premier. Mr. Sadat is understood to be anxious to underline the continuity of his foreign policy. Mr. Fahmy is scheduled to fly to Moscow on Saturday for talks with the Soviet leaders. According to informed Government sources there were two principal reasons for the change of premiers. First, Mr. Salem is expected to exert tighter control over the Cabinet and the country than did Mr. Hegazi, who is an accountant by training and who confined himself almost exclusively to economic affairs. Secondly, the new premier is expected to try, at Mr. Sadat's request, to increase social benefits and wages for those who have suffered most from inflation and shortages of food and other consumer goods. Mr. Hegazi, whose prime objective was economic development, has fought wage demands. During the last few months he has been locked in a dispute over this issue with Mr. Salem, and Sayed Marei, the president of the National Assembly. He has been criticized during an Assembly debate and in the newspapers. Last week it became clear that he was losing his fight when President Sadat ordered that a new law giving wage increases to civil servants be amended to include the workers in the public sector, which accounts for most of the country's economy. The feeling that only the wealthy are benefiting from the Government's policy of economic liberalization has led to sporadic social unrest--most recently in the form of violent clashes between workers and policemen at a state-owned textile factory employing 48,000 workers at Mehalla, in the delta. Mr. Salem, Mr. Marei and Mr. Fahmy are believed to be the officials most frequently consulted by President Sadat. Mr. Hegazi, who is not a politician by temperament, was not thought to belong to the inner circle. Persons familiar with Mr. Sadat's thinking had reported for some time that the President would like to make Mr. Salem premier but said that he hesitated because he felt that the appointment of a former police officer was politically undesirable. In an interview with The New York Times yesterday Mr. Sadat was asked whether the recent increase of tension between Israel and the Arabs could cause him to go back on his policy of political and economic liberalization at home. His answer was emphatic: "No, that policy is irreversible." Scientists ... You think 20 some odd Presidents, Kings, Premiers, etc., being gotten rid of in a years time ... might be a weird coincidence? Forget it! The UFO's (Sir) and I ... have been busy ... causing it!

THE NEW YORK TIMES, MONDAY, APRIL 14, 1975 # President of Chad Is Killed During a Military Take-Over NDJAMENA, Chad, April 13 (Agence France-Presse) -- Soldiers stormed the Presidential Palace in Chad early today and killed the President in a coup d'etat. The acting army chief of staff, Gen. Noel Odingar, announced the military take-over in this north central African nation in a statement broadcast by the national radio shortly after the attack on the palace. Immediately after the attack it was reported that several military officers arrested April 2 on charges of plotting against the President, Ngarta Tombalbaye, who had ruled Chad since her independence from France in 1960, had been released from prison by General Odingar. A communique broadcast by the military said that President Tombalbaye "died as a result of wounds received during the attack on the Presidential Palace by the Chad armed forces despite efforts made to save him." General Odingar, who has apparently taken over the Government, was also reported to have been wounded in the fighting at the palace, but he was able to announce the army coup in the national radio broadcast. Following the announcement, shouts of "Long live the armed forces," and "long live the revolution," could be heard in the streets of the capital. The military said in its communique that social discrimination imposed by the Tombalbaye regime had provoked animosity between tribes and useless spilling of blood. Associated Press Ngarta Tombalbaye Chad, which is just south of Libya, is an economically poor country that has been torn by violence almost continually since 1962, when President Tombalbaye pushed through a new constitution banning all political parties but his own Progressive party. The violence grew from conflicts between the mainly Sudanic Moslems of north and central Chad, who make up about half of the population, and the Bantu peoples of the south. President Tombalbaye, who changed his first name from Françoise to Ngarta and the name of the capital from Fort Lamy to Ndjamena in 1973 during a period of Africanization, was a southern Bantu of the Sara tribe. Today's coup, however, was apparently led by Bantu military officers. The military communique charged that the fundamental principal of the Tombalbaye regime had been "to divide in order to rule" and that under it the political and economic situation of the country had "never ceased to deteriorate." The communique also charged that the military had been humiliated and ridiculed by the former President, an apparent reference to recent statements by Mr. Tombalbaye in which he accused the army of acting as a "state within a state" and said that he was going to make radical changes in the army command. The first stirrings of the army move came at the beginning of the month with the news of two mysterious fires at the arsenals of the Chad Security Company and an incident at the national gendarmerie headquarters where three Frenchmen were shot and seriously wounded. The shootings were by two prisoners who managed to disarm their guard, an official announcement said. However, Mr. Tombalbaye ordered the arrest of both the commander and the deputy commander of the gendarmerie and lashed out at the army. They were among those released following the coup. The coup began last night with the movement into the city of army units from a camp at Boukoro, 35 miles outside the capital, military sources said. The units were under the command of a young officer whose name was given only as Djimtoloim. On arrival in the capital the young officer went to the security forces camp where an initial attack took place. The troops then moved on to the presidential residence, where they opened fire on the President's special guard. It was in this first outbreak of fighting around the residence that Mr. Tombalbaye was mortally wounded, sources said. The rest of the Chad Army units garrisoned here then joined in the coup action under the orders of General Odingar. Unconfirmed reports said that there were heavy casualties during the fighting at the Presidential Palace, which lasted several hours and included a light artillery attack by the coup forces. At the end of the morning, sporadic rifle shots could still be heard in Ndjamena, although the city appeared to be calm otherwise. When the shooting began some of the 3,000 French expatriates estimated to be in the capital sought refuge with marines stationed at the French base area north of here. The French residents later returned to their homes and the French Ambassador, Raphael Touze, said that all necessary precautions had been taken to insure their safety. The Chad armed forces, which was only 500 strong in 1964, have been strengthened to 4,000 men, including three companies of paratroops to oppose political rebellions in the mainly Moslem north and east of the country. The army officers who led the coup said in their communique that they intended to maintain all of Chad's present international agreements and undertakings. Mr. Tombalbaye, who survived several coup attempts in the last 13 years, was a former schoolteacher who entered politics in 1946 when he helped found the Chad Progressive party, which later became the country's first single ruling party.

Fighting continued for 80 minutes around the palace home of Chogyal (King) Palden Thondup Namgyal, whom Sikkim political leaders have asked the Indian Government to remove as the constitutional Head of State. The Indian army eventually succeeded in disbanding the 400-strong Sikkim Guards who lost one man with four others injured. An Indian soldier also was wounded. The disbanding of the palace guards came on the eve of a scheduled emergency session of the Sikkim Assembly, which was to consider a resolution demanding the abolition of the monarchy. The assembly is controlled by the Chogyal's political foes who came to power in the wake of the 1973 uprising against him. Led by Chief Minister Kazi Lhendup Dorji, the anti-Royalists had Sikkim converted last year from an Indian protectorate to an associate Indian state with representation in the Federal Parliament in New Delhi. Reports from Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim, indicated Dorji might next press for full Indian statehood. THE KING of Sikkim--fighting around his palace.

Though branded as the chief villain of modern Chinese politics, the late general had retained a certain immunity from the kind of personal slurs which have been cast on disgraced former leaders of the Communist Party such as the late Lin Piao, the army chief, and Liu Shao-chi, the former head of state. Perhaps mindful of the various periods during which they worked in alliance with the Kuomintang, the nationalist party which he led, the Communists seem to have felt that even he would not have been beyond forgiveness if he had consented to seek a peaceful solution of the Taiwan problem. Now that he is gone, they will look for cracks in the façade of the Kuomintang which they might exploit to solve this most bitter of all national issues. On the face of it the prospects for an early reconciliation with Taipei are not bright. Mr Chiang Ching-kuo, the general's son, who is expected to become the effective ruler of the island, has not in the past shown any inclination to negotiate with Peking. It has even been hinted by officials in Peking that he might be tempted to flirt with the Soviet Union. But he lacks the personal and historical aura which surrounded his father. The general's death, however, while not in itself an assurance of an early solution to the Taiwan problem, at least removes the most formidable personal obstacle. Peking has never slammed the door on negotiations with the Kuomintang. A small splinter group of the Kuomintang continued to be represented in the parliamentary set-up in Peking, if only for form's sake. In recent years Peking propaganda has emphasized reconciliation, not confrontation. Amnesty was granted last month to nearly 300 alleged Kuomintang war criminals and secret agents imprisoned on the mainland. People from Taiwan have been exhorted to visit the mainland without fear of detention and efforts have been made to cultivate people in other countries who have Taiwan connexions. Fishing boats from the island which have foundered and been rescued by mainland vessels have been repaired and the crews sent home with friendly messages. Appeals have been issued to Kuomintang soldiers and officials to work for reunion with the People's Republic without fear of reprisals for their past conduct. None of this seems to have made a great impression in Taiwan, where American aid and Japanese investment have induced a high level of economic prosperity Patrick Brogan writes from Washington: China experts have long discounted the effects of General Chiang's death. It is thought that although it might remove some psychological stumbling block from the path of reconciliation between Taiwan and the mainland, the other obstacles are much more difficult to overcome. There is a certain residual feeling of guilt in Washington that events should have led the United States Government in 1972, when President Nixon went to Peking, to write off its long alliance with General Chiang. Paris: In China's first mention of the general's death, the New China news agency in a broadcast monitored here said he was a "puppet president" whose "hands were stained with the blood of the revolutionary Chinese people". Hanoi: Mr Pham Van Dong, the Prime Minister of North Vietnam, today summed up his reaction to the death of President Chiang saying: "He should have died sooner."

(Speaking of those countries in the world which would give us fits in 1975...and look now at Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand..........) by Steve Damian Saga Magazine p.17 June, 1975 # THE NEW TERROR OF JUVENILE CRIME An elderly man is followed into his apartment in Chicago, strangled and mutilated, robbed of $37. Two boys, one 14 years old, the other 15, are arrested. A cab driver is held up and fatally shot on a street in Dallas, Tex. Two 14-year-olds and a 15-year-old are charged with the crime. An artist is brutally beaten to death in New York's Central Park in a struggle for his expensive bicycle. The police say five boys--two 16, one 15, one 13, and one 12--are responsible for the slaying. A grocer in Los Angeles, Calif., is murdered during a holdup. The accused are a 14-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy. The arresting officer says: "It was the most vicious thing I ever saw. First they shot him, then they chopped his face up. They told me they did it because he wouldn't sell them beer and started to give them a lecture." In New York, a 14-year-old boy is charged with the murder of a 63-year-old woman in her apartment in the South Bronx, a decaying slum area. He is held for seven weeks in a juvenile detention center. Detective Ralph Walker of the Seventh Homicide Zone said that the youth looked familiar when he took him to Family Court. Then he remembered that a professional artist had witnessed a slaying the year before and had supplied a drawing of the youth. The witness was brought in, identified the youth, and he was arrested for the 1973 New Year's Eve multiple-stabbing death of a 73-year-old man during a mugging as the victim left a subway station in the South Bronx. "This is his fourth arrest," said Detective Walker, referring to the 14-year-old boy, whose name was withheld in keeping with Family Court laws intended to protect the young. "All four cases were for assault and robbery. The result was the deaths of two innocent people. The kid didn't even seem shook up when we charged him with the second murder. He knows he can get only 18 months. We can't cope with this court system. There's no real punishment. That New Year's Eve victim was an old cripple, and the perpetrator chopped him up nine times with a butcher knife. That's no juvenile delinquent in my book." Thousands of similar cases reported from across the country are symptoms of an alarming plague of violent crime committed by young people that is rapidly becoming one of our gravest problems. Not only has there been an astonishing increase, but more and more crimes are being committed by younger children. Seven- and eight-year-olds have been taken into custody for rape, robbery, and assault this year. One murder was attributed to an eight-year-old boy, another to a nine-year-old boy, a third to a nine-year-old girl. All used handguns to kill children approximately their own age, according to police.

(and scientists) The trip to Europe, Millie...was success beyond your or my expectations. Not only was my brain worked on by the SI's...as far as they could take it without damaging me...but I saw the Loch Ness monster on two different occasions... documented my bringing out UFO's in Scotland...activated Stonehenge for the SI's... and made a shocking discovery about Stonehenge that nobody else knows, or ever will. Am enclosing tape recordings that I made on the trip...live, on the spot, recordings... up inside old haunted castles in the wee small hours of the night...owls hooting... on haunted hillsides...it is all there. I EVEN GOT THE UFO SOUND ON TAPE! Thanks to you, Millie...it was all made possible. (And to George Delavan, for keeping the home fires burning.) To go back in time. ..in 1965 I discovered in Arizona that I had discovered a psi method of controlling weather. Drove to Washington, D.C., with the family, and got together with CIA and NASA...but they refused to do what the SI's wanted...get me to an old, haunted, isolated castle in Europe. So it took ten years...and your magnificent help...to get done what the SI's wanted. After I went to Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minnesota...and got my torn stomach muscles repaired (which you financed)....I returned home and recuperated, making some trips to New York to pick up necessary equipment for the Europe trip. Finally was ready, and flew to New York. They told me at the airport there that they were holding the plane for me...that I was late...and rushed me, not through, but PAST, Customs. At the time this did not register on me...but later it worried me a lot, in Europe...thinking of the return trip...because I had not declared all my equipment and stuff. (Thank God...they rushed me back the same way, so all was well, and my worries were for naught.) Arrived in London, and without leaving the airport caught a plane for Inverness, Scotland. There, got a room at the Caledonian Hotel. I hadn't the faintest idea of where I was going, or what to do. But I work that way on purpose...leaving it up to the SI's to clue me in (which they do with unerring accuracy, always.) There I treaded water for several days, trying to figure out the lay of the land... how to talk to the Scottish people (no small task) etc. Finally lined up a taxi driver named Ronald Petrie, to drive me way out of town late at night and drop me off at an isolated location on the banks of Loch Ness (where the famed monster resides, allegedly...and not allegedly...it does.) He'd return in an hour or two, and pick me up...was the arrangement. I carried my camera, tape recorder, flashlight (although I didn't use one at all...gave my position away...had it just for some emergency.) Wore special warm clothing purchased in New York just for this trip. Carried lots of other stuff...but these were the main items. The first night out there...Ron dropped me off in the pitchblack darkness, and drove off. At midnight, there is no traffic on that one, lonely road...outside Inverness. So...I was all alone in the blackness. I felt my way toward Loch Ness, and found a 40 foot cliff impeding my progress. So I simply jumped down towards a tree growing out of the cliff, and fell the rest of the way. Hitting the bottom, felt blood running down my right leg. But...I was down on the beach, the edge, of the === Page 2 of 20 2 famous Loch Ness, at least. It was freezing cold. I telepathed to the SI's just where I was...also to the Loch Ness creature (which I figure is an other-dimensional entity belonging to the SI's.) Soon a UFO appeared in the sky...darting about, as they do...straight ahead and up over me. Then one by one, three "flying sword UFO's...read Arthur Shuttlewood's book for their description) appeared out over the water, or on the far shore, whichever...hard to determine. Then...heard a splash...and this long neck emerged from the water, with a small, football-shaped head, on top of it...and it stared at me for about five minutes. Then it vanished...after the shock of seeing it wore off and I finally began to grab for my camera (no flash) to try to get a moonlight shot of it. Finally came time to get up to the top of the cliff and over to the road to rendezvous with Ron. I slung everything around me...and climbed up, laboriously, holding on to tree roots, anything. Made it. Ron drove up, lights off, and we returned to Inverness, to my hotel. (Should back up here...and tell you that before taking off for Europe...a flying saucer actually appeared on our TV set at home...completely unlike any color usually on the screen...accompanied by all sorts of odd electrical malfunctions there at home. Also...when I first arrived at Inverness...detectives were busily watching me at the hotel. I could spot them quite easily...and this happened during the course of the entire adventure.) Next day I bought some rope, then when midnight came and Ron dropped me off out in the wilds...I tied the rope carefully to a tree at the top of the high cliff...lowered myself over the edge...and fell down the rest of the way. Actually, it was funny. Like a Marx Bros. comedy. The night before I'd gotten five deep gashes on my right leg. But this fall...just some light scratches on my left leg. Telepathed to the UFO's, and to Nessie. The same four UFO's appeared again...one high in the sky, darting about..and the other three out over the water. This night an owl hooted over to my right for a while...then hooted from directly behind me...then hooted from the far shore. That owl certainly did get around, unless there was a gang of owls, taking turns hooting. And something was scaring the daylights out of the birds across from me on the far shore...they were squawking like mad. Finally I went to the rope, and managed to climb back up the cliff, holding onto the rope. Ron met me, and back we went. Both nights, icy cold...cold wind cutting right through clothing. (Might add that this night telepathed to "sword UFO's" to let me alone...and they went out, changed to red glow. Next day accidentally viewed a TV daytime program called "Tomorrow People" by BBC. Amazingly, it's a show about a few people...who can telepath to UFO's for info and intelligence and help...and who have brains of Future Man, like myself! They might as well have studied my work and past..and done a TV series on it! (Should add...after second night on Loch Ness...felt awful; drained; turned inside out.) Well, I figured I'd done enough at this location...so lined up a plane for Edinburgh the next day. But...I strolled into a small shop and saw a small pamphlet...which told about an old, haunted castle called Urquhart Castle on Loch ness. I cancelled the plane, and hired Ron to drive me to Drumnadrochit, a distance away...and put up at the Glenurquhart Lodge there in that small, country village on the near-vicinity of Urquehart Castle. Well, I lined up a new driver at Drum. Peter Wilson; retired sergeant-major of the British Army. Not a taxi driver at all. Owns an expensive gift shop there. Forget how I met him, but it was accidental...if anything at all on this trip could be termed accidental. Peter had been all over the world in the British Army...tough, tough sergeant-major. He rolled up at the lodge at 11:30, and we drove way out to Urquehart Castle. It's a huge, isolated ruins of a castle...right on the very edge of Loch Ness...and I found out later...is where the Monster has been seen the most! === Page 3 of 20 3 He let me out...and I slipped like a shadow through the gate at the top of the road (no light ever, remember)...and tippy-toed down the long, long path towards the castle...through another gate....then left on a path along the base of the hill below the castle, left far over to the drawbridge...then up into the shadows of the castle...through the empty rooms and door arches...up to the top, to a parapet which I'd marked earlier in the day when Peter and I had made a daylight, trial run out to the Castle. (Might add here...the gates that I had come through...had huge padlocks on them... but someone had obligingly left the padlocks open. I figured that I had the blessings of someone in high officialdom on this. The Castle is a national treasure...kept intact by the Dept. of Environment. Later, In England...I did not get this cooperation by the High Ones...as you will know.) This was a Thursday night...and I telepathed to the SI's, and to the Monster... from the parapet of the Castle overlooking the Loch. This, incidentally...was the Pluperfect Place for me...as far as the SI's were concerned. Moonlight flooding down on my lonely figure atop this isolated old castle, with the spooky Loch below. I could sense it. That the SI's were pleased that I was there. Anyway, soon a UFO danced up just overhead in the sky...darting all about...beautiful. And a column of white light shot down from the sky also...no planes or copters up there. Everything quiet...strange, eerie stillness throughout. The UFO was hypnotic, and I got a headache just from watching it...and nauseated. Finally when the time came I made my way out of the darkness of the castle, up the hill, and through the gate, where Peter was waiting in his car with no lights. I told him to wait a minute, and played the tape recorder relating the UFO sighting and all. Forgot to add... that up at the castle I'd developed a bad ache in my back, along with the splitting headache and nausea.) Next day Ron Petrie phoned from Inverness and said that many people had seen the UFO over the area...called police, etc...and a story had appeared in the newspaper about it. I asked him to drive out with copies of the paper, so that I could document it. All day long...the people at the lodge asked me if I felt all right... said that I "looked different." In the afternoon some friends took me down into the village to watch a shinty game. Fascinating. Came night time and I had to call Peter and cancel our rendezvous. Something had "clicked off" in my brain, and I couldn't stand the strain of it this night. On Saturday night...midnight at the old castle...another UFO danced up over the castle. Very spooky night...bright moonlight...like one of those TV werewolf movies. Got an excruciating pain at the base of my neck. Tape recorder malfunctioning. Also ran out of tape. I know that the SI's are working on me, night by night...either from a distance, or close by, invisibly. I can sense, also, that I am under surveillance at the castle. By whom or what, I do not know. Sunday Ron drove to Drum. and got me and took me back to Inverness, to his home. There I transferred my small tapes to his large cassette recorder...and rented his recorder from him, to continue with...since my small Norelco 95 was malfunctioning. All this time...the day by day routine is horrible. I have no company; no companionship; nothing to do...from early morn until almost midnight at night, when I go to work. There is no diversion whatsoever. Just a glass of beer at the pub, and watch the people having fun amongst themselves. Monday...had a strange thing happen. Went into the pub of the lodge to have a beer...nothing else to do...in the afternoon...and some big, rough character begins to curse and berate the sweet barmaid, Margaret (Ricky's girlfriend.) === Page 4 of 20 4 I tried to use psychology to talk him smoothly...and quiet him down. We three were alone in the pub, with the exception of a salesman over at the side of the room. Well, this character then zeroes in on me...and begins to try to back me into a corner. I could read his mind quite easily...he had a glass of whisky in his hand, and was preparing to slosh it into my eyes...so I got my hands up in a judo posture. He put down the drink and set himself to throw a sneak punch...so I turned with my left side toward him, to give him a small target; also so that I could clobber his neck with a left hand, edge of the hand. Seeing this move, he cannily changed posture and set himself for a kick with his heavy booted foot. Before he could launch the kick...I pivoted around him, out of the corner, to the center of the bar...where I had plenty of room to maneuver. Just then who comes in...but Peter Wilson! Peter positions himself between me and this fractious character. I go over to the salesman, at a table, and leave my camera...then put my watches into my pockets, and ring. Meanwhile the character is still shouting vile curses at the barmaid. I go back to the bar...and flat tell the rat to either shut his vile mouth...or take me on. He starts for me and I get ready (just fresh from a double hernia operation, remember...ha) when Peter steps in, spins this mug around....and holds him. Then the manager comes into the pub and tells the character to leave...which he does, promptly. But in all this...it rang as clear as a lead dime. First, I'd seen this character half an hour before he even went into the pub...out in the lodge office. He'd had a full pint of whisky then. In the pub, he still had that same pint...and it stayed full. When he went out, it was with the same full pint. In the bar, he'd had just one small glass of whisky...and he hadn't drunk that, either. This doesn't follow the pattern of a drinker...or a drunk. Also...while he was maneuvering around me...his eyes were clear...and his moves were smart. Remember, I'm an old ring fighter; a judo fighter; and once a nightclub bouncer. I know what I know. This entire situation seemed set up for my benefit....so that British intelligence could find out...how much control I had...if I would resort to quick violence...resort to weapons, or try to handle matters with my hands. Well, if so, they found out...I am very, very controlled...use violence only as a very last resort...and my hands are my first line of defense, even fresh after an operation. (Insert at this point...May 9, 1975...last night I awoke at 4:03 AM by the illuminated clock at bedside...and heard a voice talking to me from the foot of my bed...an unemotional, flat, mechanical voice...instructing me to do something. I listened to it for about five minutes, then inexplicably dropped off to sleep...it must have told me not to remember...because this morning I could not remember what that voice had been telling me. But...the voice was quite, quite real....) Night again, alone, at the isolated, haunted castle Urquehart. Very dark and very cold. I moved through the ruins like a shadow among the shadows...up through the arches, up onto my parapet lookout overlooking Loch Ness. The sky was covered with thick black clouds. Pitch black darkness all about. I telepathed to the SI's, and to the Monster. Soon an amazing thing happened. A circle opened right over me, in the sky. In this circle, the stars and sky were quite clear...but everywhere else in the sky, as far as the eye could see...thick black clouds covered the sky! It seemed like a miracle. Finally the circle of clear sky closed up, and the entire sky once again was all overcast with black clouds. I checked the time on my Pulsar watch at 21 after midnight. Then doublechecked a few seconds later...and it read 28 after 12! I realized that somehow...seven minutes of time had vanished...during which time I had no recollection! (This was like the Dallas incident, years ago, when I was with my daughter, Lornie, and a UFO came down to our car...seemed like a minute...but after it had vanished...we'd lost an hour of time!) === Page 5 of 20 : then made my way out of the old castle through the darkness...way up the hill to where Peter waited in his blacked out car...and told him about the missing seven minutes. When I returned to the lodge and went to my room...my neck ached excruciatingly again...at the base, back, of the neck. (Other nights, I might add, I'd felt like I was drugged, after the castle sessions.) But tonight I was clear, and felt all right...except for the pain at the back of the neck. Summed up...I'd had no visual sighting this night...just seven minutes of time vanished. Next night...moved up through the blackness into the castle...up to the parapet. Snowing heavily. Visibility zilch...nothing. Peasoup fog. Then a bright UFO light flickered up overhead, through the blackness. I was protecting Ron's recorder with my body and coat, from the snow. Must have been zero or below. Freezing cold. Telepathed to the SI's, and to Monster. Walked in circles, around and around in the snow, and the blackness, to keep warm, and to keep a keen watch. My ears began to freeze up, so I pulled a ski mask over my entire head...leaving only eye and mouth openings. Completely socked in by fog and snow, and a thick white mist enveloping me. Couldn't even see Loch Ness, 100 feet away. Real spooky. Time seemed distorted up on top of the castle...not like earth time at all...an hour up there seemed like 15 minutes to me...but when I'd get back to Peter he said it seemed like two hours to him. And I had no recollection of time passing at all. Well, I kept circling, watching for SI's, and/or thugs coming at me out of the darkness. Then I saw something moving around in the square of space...an old crumbled room...next to me. It was white...a white blur, 3 or 4 feet wide. The thing moved around...and I drew my knife and went into the enclosure after it. But there was nothing in there. Whatever it was, had vanished. But I'd seen it quite plainly. People in the village had said they wouldn't go to Urquehart Castle after dark for love or money...because a ghost had been seen up inside it many times. Perhaps this was the ghost. Then...that same circle cleared in the sky right over me...with dark sky everywhere else as far as the eye could see. This made the second night in a row...a huge, giant circle had opened up right over me. Next I heard a huge splash in the water near me. Then I saw a UFO right up over me. I knew, for sure, they were working my brain over! Again I got the strong feeling of being watched and observed. I checked my Pulsar at 12:20; then again a few seconds later, and it read 12:29! I had lost more time; time had vanished on me! Finally I made my way out of the dark castle, and back to the road, where Peter awaited me in his darkened car...and told him about the missing time, again. What was striking...was that the missing time was at about the same minute each night...12:20 to 12:28, and 12:20 to 12:29. Next day three reporters converged on me at the lodge...because of my work, and because of the UFO reported in the local paper. They checked my credentials, then took me to the castle for some photos. At this point...I was terribly bored, and homesick. No companionship...nothing. Just sitting around for hours all day, waiting for the night. And it was my little boy Teddy's birthday...so I called him long distance. At night...vibes were horrible; terrible. And everything was going wrong. The lodge phones were not available. The public phone...I could call out, but the party at the other end couldn't hear my voice. The lodge office was closed, and couldn't get at that phone...so I was snookered, as to communication out. Then the gardener (who doubled as a pro hunter) was replaced that day by another man...and he chose to take it out on me...in the pool room he kept calling out loudly... "run the American back where he came from!" Of course, I was the only American there, in this tiny place. But by that time I'd made many friends...and they shut up the ex-gardener. Then the SI's communicated with me and warned me not to go out to the castle any more without an armed guard...because after the newspaper story (which pinpointed where I was going, and when) had made it too dangerous to me. === Page 6 of 20 To add to all of this...I didn't seem like myself at all. More like another personality, or person. This had never happened before...and I mused whether the SI work on my brain...had caused it. When Peter arrived for rendezvous...I told him we'd better cancel...but he offered to go along as the guard...carrying a huge club. So, we went together. This was the first...and only...time anyone at all accompanied me on any of my night work. We moved up into the dark castle to the parapet. There was a full moon...but visibility was bad; there was a dark overcast. However, with another person present...there was no SI contact! It was the difference between hot and cold; white and black. The feeling was entirely different; no good. The second person present seemed to cancel out everything. Next night Peter assured me that it would be okay to go alone up into the dark castle, so I believed him and went on up by myself into the darkness. There was a full moon. The night was clear and beautiful. The castle was all alight with bright moonlight. I telepathed. (Oh, before I forget...that afternoon the wife of the supermarket owner in Drum. had informed me that she had personally watch the UFO maneuver in the sky, the previous Thursday...and I secured a statement from her...which you will get.) As I turned slowly in a circle, watching the skies, the Loch Ness waters, and the shadows nearby...suddenly I saw a huge black mass break through the water out ahead of me! Must have been about 50 feet in length. (Later, back in Inverness, I got a booklet on the Monster...and there was a photo in the booklet...showing this very same picture...this same black mass up out of the water, allegedly the Monster.) There had been no such black mass coming up out of the water on any other night; at least where I'd had visibility. At this point I realized that my location...this spot that I came to every night...was zeroed in by the SI's...for programming my brain, or for invisible approach. And...the castle by now...seemed like a second home. It fascinates me, holds me, attracts me. The castle actually has some kind of occult hold on me, on my mind. And it is the location...where the most people have seen the Loch Ness Monster, for whatever that is worth. To show you how close Loch Ness is...I just flicked my cigar butt out into the water. At this point my feet were numb with cold...and the fingers inside my sheeplined gloves...were numb with cold. I decided not to watch the time...to heck with it...if time was going to vanish, then it would just vanish. I stamped my feet to get some feeling back into them. It was odd that it was so cold...because the night was clear, and shouldn't have been cold. Tonight there was no owl hoot. ..last night the owl had been hooting (like it had way back the first two nights on the Loch bank, down the cliff) but tonight, nothing. I missed it. It was kind of company. The birds on the far side of the Loch were squawking like blazes...something over there getting them upset. Finally I called it a night and made my way out of the castle, back up to the road to where Peter waited in his darkened car. The next night...was a dilly! To pass the time, I decided to shoot some pool with the villagers in the lodge pool room (contained one single table...and the villagers all assembled there every evening to drink beer and shoot pool). Lovey's wife (he was a wrestler) came up and asked me to be her partner. So I was, for one game. Then she went over and asked Malcolm to be her partner. (Malcolm, some nights earlier...I had beaten at 8ball...and he'd calmly walked past me, then swiftly kicked all the glass out of the door! He'd been in the famed Scots Guard...but had been released (I believe for mental instability.) This night...he ignored her, and played with another partner...and she became infuriated with Malcolm rejecting her...picked up a bottle...went up behind him and smashed it over his head! === Page 7 of 20 turned around, with a surprised look on his face...grabbed her by her right ...and flipped her onto the floor, flat onto her back. Then her husband, the wrestler, came hurrying over. At this point there were about twenty people in the room...and they began to get out, quickly. Lovey and Malcolm came to grips...and began throwing each other around the room; smashing each other's heads into the walls! banging each other's heads down onto the floor; kneeing each other; etc etc. Meanwhile, I stood there with my cue in my hand...it had been my shot. Everyone else had fled from the room, except Peter...the habitual character and drunk...who'd gone to sleep sitting in a chair against the wall, and not even the sound of the battling had wakened him. Malcolm picked up a heavy chair, threw it across the room right into Lovey. Then he picked up the cue ball off the table and threw it at Lovey...the ball ricocheted around the walls and came to rest, funnily enough...right in poor Peter's lap! Still Peter didn't wake up. They began throwing beer mugs at each other. Beer mugs broke and glass flew all around my head. Chairs flew through the air. Anything went. Both Malcolm and Lovey were in tatters...bloody tatters...both bleeding like stuck pigs. Then I got an idea. But before I could put it into motion...Lovey's wife began to sneak up on Malcolm, who had Lovey down on the floor, fingers intertwined in Lovey's hair, smashing his head down onto the floor. She had a huge glass beer mug in her hand, and was prepared to smash Malcolm over the head with it, from behind. I used a judo handgrab and took it away from her. Fair was fair, I figured. Then I yelled at the two..."someone called the police, you guy's had better get out of here!" Malcolm got up off of Lovey. Lovey called him chicken for quitting the fight, but Malcolm wanted no part of police. Malcolm went out the door, then stuck his head back inside and yelled at Lovey..."but I still say your wife is a bum!" At which point Lovey threw two heavy beer mugs through the glass door at Malcolm. I was still standing there, pool cue in hand, fascinated. Lovey staggered over to the pool table...blood pouring down from innumerable cuts...his clothes in strips and tatters...and said, "Whose shot?" "Your shot," I said...so he picked up a cue, and we finished the game. The room was a complete shambles...you couldn't take a step without walking into broken glass...everything broken and smashed. And Peter was still leaning against the wall, in his chair, sound asleep. Then Peter Wilson drove up...and we left for the castle. Terrible night. Thick fog. No moonlight at all. Pitch black. Could see nothing. And to add to the lack of visibility...a thick white fog up on top of the castle parapet. When I telepathed to the SI's and the Monster...I could easily sense that there was more than one Loch Ness Monster. There's a bunch! For the first time...as I stood in the utter blackness, alone, in the isolated crumbly castle after midnight...I understood something. If any intelligence agencies of any country...wanted to eliminate me because of my link-up with the UFO's...this Scotland situation had been, and still was, pluperfect! I was alone, in the darkness, on the brink of the Loch. Completely and utterly vulnerable to the Dirty Tricks Department of any agency. Also I realized why the SI's had been concerned...there were several characters in Drum. who'd cut my throat for the equipment on my back...which would keep them in living expenses for a year or two. I understood another thing...the SI's were remodifying my brain in steps! Quite ingenious of them. If they did it all at once, it would probably ruin me. So...they were doing it piece by piece, place by place...to give my mind time to recuperate, between treatments. And...they would leave it up to me...to judge when my mind, brain, had had enough. And I realized at this point...that they had worked on my brain extensively. The Wednesday before...I had been upset; hostile; a different personality than my normal self. Peter Wilson knew it. Too much work by the SI's on me? That's why they have slacked off, since that time. Then I got a terrible backache, up on the parapet. But had no weight on my back to cause === Page 8 of 20 ...a bright "sword UFO" appeared out over the water, opposite me. And my back kept hurting...at the base of my spine, in the small of my back. Finally time was up...and packed up the equipment...made way out of the dark castle up the hill to Peter's car. Then I hired Ron Petrie to drive me to Edinburgh in his taxi. Got a room at the George Hotel. Bought a new cassette recorder to replace my pocket one that had broken down. Very dull city...ugh. Nice people; but so very very dull. Nothing to do there. No way to relax. But I stayed several days anyway. To relax. What I had been going through...brain modification...had wiped out my energy. Flew to London. At the airport...didn't know whether to take a taxi into London, and cast about for some means of finding Salisbury, or what. The SI's communicated...and told me what to do. So I made inquiry...took a bus to Reading; then a train to Salisbury. Was being watched constantly, by two man teams, I might add. Not imagination, or paranoid thinking. Just a fact. At the Hotel George back in Edinburgh this same man had lurked across the street, watching me come out and checking me back in. Then he'd surprised me...by popping up across the street just outside the front door of the hotel, and accosting me..."What kind of cigar is that you are smoking?" We exchanged cigar chitchat...but I realized that he was peering into my eyes and checking my voice...probably to try and evaluate my stability. British intelligence is not stupid...and they'd most likely been with me in Scotland...American intelligence, you can bet your bottom dollar...wanted to know what I was doing, and how I was doing it...and they'd work with British Intelligence, too. Might drop a note at this point...on the tremendous, overwhelming expense of this entire trip. Beginning with my operation at Mayo...where I'd expected to spend a week...then been held there for a month! Then extensive preparation for the European trip...getting tools and equipment and clothes. And the trip itself.... spending a hundred or two hundred dollars on taxi's, hotels, meals, etc., every time I turned around! It could have only been done...with open-ended funds... which Millie had laid out for all this. (And knowing that my friend George Delavan was covering rent, food, etc., back at home.) Drat it...they lost my luggage carrier on the plane coming to London. Have to get another in Salisbury. Made a mental note to be careful in England...because in Scotland things are more controlled...papers full of crime and skullduggery in England. Secured a room at the White Hart Hotel in Salisbury. Got lucky and quickly found a taxi driver, who agreed to the unusual night hours of taking me out to haunty places. Eric Romaine. Heavy set, pipe smoking gent. Met him at the railroad station, matter of fact...he drove me into town and helped me find a hotel. Said he might have a connection who would help sneak me into Stonehenge. He also knew of an old castle, abandoned, isolated...Old Sarum Castle. In my room, waiting for the magic hour of 11:30, and rendezvous with Eric...I unexplainably fell asleep at 9:20. Woke up some time later, feeling exhausted. Eric arrived on time. We drove out into the black countryside. Cold, icy rain falling. Freezing cold. Eric said he couldn't arrange the Stonehenge deal...so he (and his wife in the back seat...no doubt there because she wondered why, at that hour, Eric would be out) drove me out to Old Sarum Castle, isolated in the country. We got out of the taxi...and found out that the castle was surrounded by a very high fence...only access by way of a drawbridge, which had a gate topped with sharp spikes, and secured by a huge padlock. === Page 9 of 20 dismissed Eric and his wife...watched the taxi with darkened lights turn and leave the location...then I picked up my equipment and moved over to the right of the castle...up onto a hill into a clump of trees. An icy wind was blowing. UFO's appeared, after my telepathing. Visibility was zilch; but the UFO's fluttering about were perfectly clear. One "sword UFO" came right at me, at my location. It changed from a white star thing to a dull orange glow (like those I had done at the Loch Ness locations). The other one, higher up, did the same thing. Then switched back on to bright again. Then a third UFO appeared, and they arranged themselves into a perfect triangle formation...two up above, and one low for the point of the triangle. Then even more UFOs appeared. It seemed they were putting on quite a show. Changing color; jumping about. The night itself was pitchblack; icy cold; cold rain pouring down; sky murky. Was keeping my new recorder carefully covered, from the rain. Came time to leave, I was numb with cold...the SI's commanded and led me over to the castle drawbridge and told me how to enter into the castle the next night! They wanted me there. Eric drove up in his darkened car, then...I got in...and told him of the SI plan...and he agreed to cooperate with the plan. Might add here...that all these taxi rides were costing me 15-$20 a shot...and I was taking several a day...scouting out the ground, going here and there. Same with Ron and Peter Wilson in Scotland. And others. Also should add...that the SI'S do a tremendous job of leading me to my targets. Tonight, for instance, Eric's wife handed me a book written by Arthur Shuttlewood...about a place called Warminster..and certain hills on which UFO's had appeared. From this book, which I would read...I was guided unerringly to Warminster and to the right places there...and the right people. But...suppose she hadn't shown me the book? This sort of thing was happening on the entire trip. Just this kind of "luck" found me Urquhart Castle and Drumnadrochit. Found the perfect suitcase to take the place of my lost luggage carrier...the thing has a built in handle, and built in wheels. Next day...extreme loneliness hit me with a dull thud, again. Depressed me quite a bit. Night...Eric came by...we went out to Old Sarum Castle. He had a thick blanket; a short stepladder. In the darkness we snuck up to the spiked gate...put up the ladder...I wadded the blanket on top of the spikes, swung my butt up onto the blanket...pulled the ladder up with me...and leaped off onto the other side. Eric got the blanket and took it with him to the taxi, as he left. I left the ladder where it was...and moved through the darkness into the castle grounds...not knowing where I was going inside there. I felt my way through the dark rooms and dark grounds...up and up...and finally found a high parapet on top of the castle. Icy cold up there...couldn't see four feet in front of me, visibility so poor. Not like Urquhart...up there I could check out my immediate surroundings for intruders...not here...all spread out...anybody could come at me from any direction and I wouldn't be able to see them. The cold wind soon began to cut through my pants like a knife. Then the sky cleared, and I could see in every direction out over the countryside. A gale wind was blowing...had to hold the hat onto my head to keep it from blowing off. Cold, biting, icy winds. I tried to light a cigar...and after ten successive matches blew out...I gave it up. I'd goofed in another way, also...had worn soft, felt booties...so that I could pad around inside the castle without being heard by anybody. Yes, but without shoes inside them. And in no time...my feet were freezing off. I heard a rustling noise over to my left...so I knew for sure that I was not alone up there. It made me uneasy to think of how I had to depend on taxi drivers...like Ron, Peter, Eric...because if any of them failed to show up later...I'd be found frozen in the === Page 10 of 20 morning! I thought back...to earlier in the evening...when Eric and I had been driving out toward the castle...and we'd passed a girl hitchhiking on the lonely country road. I'd said, "Eric, make a U-turn and go back and pick up that girl. We'll give her a lift before she freezes." "It wasn't a girl," he'd said, "it was a man." (We each saw a different thing.) But he made a U-turn, went back, and the human had vanished completely. Eric and I had both been mystified. Well, at 1 I made my way back down again through the old, dark castle...and out to the locked gate. Eric was there in the dark. I put up the ladder and went up it. Eric handed me the blanket, and we reversed the process to get me down onto the other side. We went tippy-toing back to his darkened car, deposited the ladder and blanket inside the car...and just then a police car swung up the road and parked about 20 feet away! Now, we are talking about after 1 at night...out in the dark countryside...no lights and no people! I said to Eric, what the blazes, Eric? The police car didn't come over and investigate us...just sat there for a few minutes, then started up and left. We switched on our lights and drove back into town...and found the police car silently waiting for us, half-way, on the road. I didn't like this turn of events at all! Next day I engaged Eric to drive me way out to Stonehenge, to scout it out in the daytime. Soon as I got there, I realized what Stonehenge was all about. It was a mechanism...a machine. A psychotronic machine (see "Psychic Discoveries Behind The Iron Curtain" book by Ostrander, on psychotronic form.) And the key to Stonehenge...so ingeniously planned for in the ages past by the UFO entities...had to be an alien brain set inside it, to activate it! Its power was so intense...that it could not be trusted to a human brain to activate it. Only an alien, UFO brain...with their peculiar laws and compassionate philosophy...could be trusted to turn on all of that power. (Same thing with the pyramids in Egypt, Mexico, etc. They were designed to be turned on, activated, by an alien brain inside same...just like the battery inside an electric watch...and for the same reason.) Now...and this is very important...while activating Stonehenge, several times... I discovered a tremendous secret about Stonehenge...certainly not known to any other humans. Over and above what I have already told you. Stonehenge...has many functions! It came to my mind...that the SI's primary reason to bring me to Europe...might be to activate Stonehenge for them! Secondary reason, the remodifying of my brain (which they did, right enough.) The SI's are most devious...as I have found in the past. Fair as fair, but...devious. Like the time they guided me to Cleveland to "make some food and rent money giving lectures." Uh huh. Turned out...what they really wanted to do...was demonstrate how they could control the entire city of Cleveland...letting me document it for them! Same thing with the country of France...and my small hassle with Dr. Poher there. Discovered twenty pounds (20) missing from my billclip, during the daytime. No way...it could have become lost. Was in left trouser pocket underneath my heavy leather coat. But, you say...perhaps a pickpocket? Not so...the clip itself is of 18K gold...worth $500-$600 at today's gold prices...have had it for years...and no self-respecting pickpocket would take $50 in bills and leave the $500 clip in my pocket! I think it was the SI's...for whatever reason. Because all along the way...things disappeared from my pockets, fingers, belt. But they appeared later, in a different place. This 20 pounds never did reappear. On the way out to Stonehenge, about 3:30 in the afternoon, in April...sunny day... === Page 11 of 20 I explained to Eric, a most intelligent man...how I dreaded going out to Stonehenge on this sunny afternoon...with tourists standing around, gawking and taking photos...while I mentally concentrate on activating the structure-mechanism. Well, as we drove along...the sunshine turned to light show. By the time we got to Stonehenge galeforce winds were blowing and there was a full blizzard. One could hardly see six feet ahead. I made my way out into Stonehenge...whilst the tourists there were running out of Stonehenge...and I was left alone to do my work! A miracle if you ever saw one! Just as fast as I had used all of the mental "triggers" the SI's had given me, to activate Stonehenge...they comm'd and told me to get out, fast! (I believe this is the first time they have ever done such a thing.) So I did. Left immediately. My impression was...that in activating Stonehenge, according to SI instructions...I released so much power there...that the SI's were fearful that I could be damaged (since I am not a full SI...but a "half-breed"...half SI, half human. The rest of the day, lonesomeness pounded at me...like waves on the beach. Having no one to talk to, or who cares...or to do anything with...gets to you. Just a hotel room. One of the worst experiences...all of this lonesomeness on this European trip...that I have ever gone through. I contacted the SI's and requested that they finish their remodifying of my brain in Warminster...but they comm'd back ... could my brain withstand that? They requested...that I go to Stonehenge this night...break in...activate it...break out...then go to Old Sarum Castle and repeat the entire process. (Oh...before I forget...last night...I had the windows of my hotel room closed...and they steamed over. During the night I heard weird noises...and at bedtime I found pawprints all over the windows. Considering I was on the second floor...a sheer drop down...brick wall...nothing could get to my windows...this was quite puzzling. Except I remembered the time on the Arizona desert...sleeping out in the open in our car...and we'd wakened in the morning and Beau had said he'd seen a "monster face" at my window during the night. Then I'd gotten out of the car and found pawprints and clawmarks in a peculiar stain...all over the car...and something had ripped our back tire, so that it was flat. ) Eric picked me up at 11:30. We drove out to Stonehenge, while I told him what the UFO's wanted me to do. I used the thick blanket up on top of the spikes on the gate...and went over. Now, this is out in the country. Everything dark and pitchblack. No one out there. Stonehenge just a black, dark bunch of rock shadows far over to my left...across a field. Occasionally a car would pass...then I would fling myself flat, to avoid the lights from the car picking up my silhouette in the field. Finally, after getting over several smaller fences...I reached the famous rocks of Stonehenge. I slipped in amongst them...quiet as a mouse in the darkness...found my spot between the two rocks, where I'd been in the afternoon...and commenced using the "triggers" the SI's had given me. But in about 3-5 minutes a light flickered amongst the giant rocks...and I knew I'd been set up. Because lights from the road, far away, wouldn't reach inside Stonehenge. I fell flat between the two rocks, hoping whoever it was would take a quick look and go away. But no...the powerful beam moved straight over to where I was and shown down at me, where I lay inside the rocks. They knew...just where I'd be! I slowly rose...saw a policeman...and thought oh boy, I've had it now! He told me that I'd have to leave, and not come back. That's all he said. He didn't ask me who I was...what I was doing there...or anything. THEN HE TURNED AND WALKED AHEAD OF ME...HIS BACK TO ME...ALL THE LONG WAY BACK TO THE ROAD TO ERIC'S CAR! Now, I'd just broken into a national monument...and you know, and I know, that ordinary police procedure calls for the cop to have me show identification.......... === Page 12 of 20 12 give a reason for being there, at that hour of the night...and of course no policeman in his right mind would turn his back on some mysterious breaker-and-enterer...and walk out ahead of him! UNLESS, THAT IS...THE COP KNOWS WHO THE INTERLOPER IS...AND KNOWS THAT THE INTERLOPER IS HARMLESS...WOULDN'T HURT HIM! And this...had to be it. He knew who I was...knew where I'd be standing...knew I wouldn't harm him. Well...I skipped the castle, naturally. The cops had almost gotten us there the night before...and I figured that now they'd zerod in on me...I'd be a dead-duck if I tried the up-over-the-spikes routine now out at the castle. So...back to the hotel...and I raved and ranted in my hotel room for hours, I was so furious and frustrated...because I'd come a long way, and gone to a lot of trouble and wear and tear...to get this thing done for the UFO's...only to be blocked and frustrated at it. In Scotland...I was not blocked. The castle gates were left unlocked for me. And I got results. UFO's appeared, and were seen by others, as well as myself. But now, in England...fooey. The authorities were smoothly blocking my moves. Then I found that my favorite hunting knife was missing from my belt. I'd had it on me...at Stonehenge. Had it for 20 years, and was my favorite (I have a collection.) I determined to go back to Stonehenge at early morn...before tourists got there...and find it! Early morn...called Eric...went out to Stonehenge before it opened to the public. Was first in line at the ticket window. A voice said "You back again?" I laughed and said sure...and buying a ticket, just like anybody else. It was the same policeman, and he emerged from behind a twoway window. I told him I'd lost something the night before. So he took me back into Stonehenge...it wasn't there...but I found it out in the field. The policeman walked me back to Eric's car, then left. I told Eric...I am going to wait half an hour, then go and buy a ticket, go back inside Stonehenge, and activate it in the daytime again...as long as I can't get in at night. And that's exactly what I did. And this is when...I found out a fantastic secret about Stonehenge! During the day...the SI's comm'd and instructed me to skip that night...just rest. Was having supper at a quaint eating place...when an amusing thing happened. A tall, gray-haired man...and an American, judging from his voice...stood about six feet away, talking to another man. We were probably the only two Americans in Salisbury, England, at the time. I called to him and asked him where he was from. Virginia, he said. (I live in Virginia.) Oh boy, I thought...now I'll have somebody to talk to! So, to kid him a bit and warm things up...I said, oh yes? Tourista! Gringo, go home!" and grinned, thinking he'd come over and join me at my table. Instead he got furious, turned his back on me, and walked out of the room. I laughed for half an hour...at the irony of it. Next move...I took a train to Warminster, England. And the very first thing that happened...was most funny! I asked the driver, Peter, if he could do a very special job for me (meaning my night-routine at haunted castles and hills.) I told him I would like to hire him to pick me up at about midnight to do something special. He studied me for a minute...said, I've got just the man for you. Name of Ricky. And he drove me out to some houses; went in, and brought out a tough looking mug. We three went to a nearby pub, where Peter left us by ourselves. This Ricky took me over to a corner table...and proceeded to let me know how valuable he was...as a fence, handling diamonds! Explained how he'd worked in African diamond mines. I laughed and told him that I wasn't in === Page 13 of 20 23 the diamond trade...especially smuggling diamonds (which evidently was his line)...and he quickly got up and departed. I left the place and Peter was waiting outside. I went with him to the Beeline Taxi office and made arrangements with the manager for a night driver to pick me up at 11:30 PM. Then the driver helped me find a room at the Farmer's Hotel. (I'd made prior arrangements, by long distance phone, from Salisbury to Warminster, to stay at another hotel...but the driver told me it was a bad place...to stay at the Farmer's Hotel. So I did.) This hotel...had a ghost, I found out later...had been seen many times...and played tricks on people. The hotel was hundreds of years old. Took a walk into downtown Warminster, and winced. Really mean, tough-looking people here. Gangs of motorcycle riders...clad in black leather...hung all over with swastika pins and the like. I was awfully lonesome..but couldn't even find somebody to talk to. The people there, I discovered...hated Americans. Just like they do in France. Night, and the taxi driver picked me in front of the hotel. The cold was intense...freezing. I told him to drive me out to Cradle Hill, to an isolated location. He drove far, far out...on a country road which would lead to a deadend...but before we got there, another car pulled in front of our car. My driver was astounded. What? he said. Nobody comes out here this time of night...into this isolated country location. At the deadend, the other car made a U-turn, swung around us (and I caught a clear look at the man seated on the righthand side, front...he had a peculiar black beard...a most unusual design)...then the car drove a small way down the road, parked, and switched off lights. I ignored it, and got out. My driver drove off. I climbed over the gate at the deadend, and found three different roads, leading off in different directions. I decided to take the one going up to the top of the hill...where I could see a black outline of trees in the darkness. The driver had said that the hill was barren. The hill was very steep, and I huffed and puffed my way up it, until I'd gotten 2/3 of the way up. Then I could see the outline of a building in amongst the trees. Was it a house? If so...the house might have a vicious dog...or someone might think I was a robber, and begin blasting away with a shotgun...so I stayed where I was, 2/3 of the way up on the hill...on the lonely road...and telepathed to the SI's. A UFO quickly appeared...flashing orange, red and yellow colors. I talked into the tape recorder and pointed out...its color difference from the silvery stars. And as soon as I had done so...the UFO color changed to silver! Just as if it knew what I was saying in the recorder, and made a color correction. This reminded me of Loch Ness...when I had telepathed to the sword UFO's to let me alone that night...and they had immediately turned off...from their brilliant white color to a small, orange glow. Then my tape went bad, of all things...and I could no longer communicate into the recorder. Over to my right...was a huge black cloud...with swirling fog inside it...covering the dimension of a football field. Everywhere else the night was as clear as a bell...so this black cloud stood out like a sore thumb. Finally, as I left my location to go back down the hill...THE BLACK CLOUD FOLLOWED ALONG RESIDE ME! The driver was there; I got in; we drove down off the lonely road...and durned if that same other car didn't pull in behind us from somewhere and begin to follow us. The driver admitted that we were being followed. The other car followed us to my hotel, where I got out, cussing, and went to bed. Speaking of cussing...when you hear the tapes that I made...please forgive my unusual language. Unusual for me...that is. Ordinarily "durn" and "heck" are the extent of my strong language. But night by night exposure to the SI's and === Page 14 of 20 their powers...seemed to bring pressure on my mind...that caused me to revert to my old Navy language of 1941-45, long years ago. I found myself cussing like a trooper, as they say...when blocked, frustrated, etc. I apologize for it...when you hear it...but cannot change it...from the standpoint of experimentation and observation...since it happened, and is a part of all that happened. Next day I hired the taxi driver to take me out to Cradle Hill...and I walked way up it to check out that "house"...but discovered that it was a peculiar, sealed up building...LIKE a barn, but not a barn. Beside it...lay the ruins of an old house. I left, and walked back down the hill to the driver, who had waited. He warned me not to go to Starr Hill, because the army was holding secret maneuvers there. As we passed one hill...I liked it...Copheap, off Elm...and made a mental note to return there some night. Back in town...I determined to find this Arthur Shuttlewood...and secure some of his books for Millie, George...and was directed to the owner of Payne's Drugstore, who presumably knew Arthur.( And this shows...how the SI's were following me and guiding me.) As I stood inside the drugstore, talking to the owner...the owner said, why, there is Arthur's son now...he just walked in! I went over to the lad, about twenty years old...and gave him a message for his dad...relative to a meeting together. (forgot to mention...the night before I'd had a precog dream...dreamed of an elderly woman...who had dark, black spots on her left leg. This day...an elderly woman was my waitress at the hotel...Peggy...had the same face as the woman in my dream. I asked her if she had any dark spots...birthmarks or whatever...on her left leg. She said, why yes...lifted her long skirt...and showed a bunch of dark bruises on her left leg. Said she'd fallen over a bed. The taxi picked me up about 11:30 PM...and out we went again onto the deadend road at Cradle Hill. The night was very dark, and very quiet and still. As we reached the end of the deadend country road...there ahead of us was the "other" car...of the night before...waiting, with lights off. Oh, was I mad! I didn't know who there were...seemed to be three of them in the car...but I had waited all day long to get out here and meet, alone, with the SI's...and these men were blocking me! I could return to the hotel, and play it safe...or...and I decided that it would be "or". I told the taxi driver to take off...and stood there in the blackness of the night, at the locked gate...studying the other car...and cussing (as you'll discover on the tapes!) After a long while the car door opened, and a man got out...and began to slowly approach me. I warned him, and I surely meant it...not to come any closer...and he stopped dead in his tracks. "Aren't you interested in why we are here?" he asked. "Not at all," I told him. "I'm here to do something very important...and it does not concern you." He stood there for about five minutes, it seemed, in the darkness before me...then slowly turned and went back to the car, and got back in. The car sat there for a while longer, then switched on its lights and drove off, back down the hill, out of sight. That left me alone, in the darkness and the moonlight, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I'd been ready to take on all three of them...if I had to. I climbed over the gate, and started up the road to the top, where I'd scouted during the day...but the SI's comm'd and said no, not to go there. So instead, I took the next road...and followed it in the darkness. Soon a bunch of trees caught my eye over to the right (where the dark cloud was)...and I cut over across the field into the trees...and found that the trees were on the edge of a cliff. It was a dandy location, and I settled down === Page 15 of 20 15 for a good get-together with my UFO friends. Nobody could come at me, without my discovering them...pitchblack darkness or not...because with the cliff at my back, I could spot anything moving through the darkness toward me from the front... It was icy cold there, inside that clump of trees. I'd walked right inside that peculiar black cloud with the swirling mist inside it. I telepathed to the SI's. Later, as it came time to leave the location...I walked out of the clump of trees...when I suddenly heard these strange, weird, eerie sounds coming from the trees I'd just vacated. (I was approx. 100-200 feet away, I reckon.) I turned to see what on earth could have made those sounds...sort of a cross between a screeching eagle and an animal...and just as I turned...a flaming ball of fire shot down out of the sky...right down in front of me...to the position I'd just vacated! It was a lovely, gorgeous, beautiful sight! In short, a UFO...type I'd never ever before seen, and I've seen many...had come right down to where I was! And if it hadn't "called to me" I wouldn't have seen it! (You actually have that UFO sound on your tape!) Went down and met my taxi. Thank goodness there was no sign of the other car. Next day I made a startling discovery. My eyebrows had turned gray! Now, the hair on top of my head has been gray for a long while...but my eyebrows have been a deep red color. Not a silver hair among them. Suddenly, today, they are 2/3 gray! I shave looking into the mirror each day...and these had not been evident before. I wondered if the black cloud I'd walked into...and the flaming UFO the night before, which had "called" to me...could have turned my eyebrows gray! In early evening, Arthur Shuttlewood, the famous author, came over to the hotel and spent an hour with me. In our chat, we discovered that his life...and my life...contained many of the same elements (as he points out in his new book, where he's doing a chapter about me ("Invisible Worlds"). (Also, oddly enough, all of the many twists and turns of Edgar Cayce's life juxtapose perfectly with those of my own life! For whatever it's worth, I just mention it in passing....) Now, this ghoulish-looking man had been following me for days...when I'd go into the dining room to eat...he'd go in to eat; and sit and stare at me. When I'd go into the TV room, he'd go in...and sit and stare at me. Well, this night, before the taxi driver arrived...the wife of the hotel owner came running upstairs and begged me to be careful. "This man who's been following you," she said, "looks dangerous...and he's downstairs now" (this at almost midnight, when nobody, but nobody, usually stirred in the hotel but me.) "He's been acting very suspicious this evening," she continued, "so my son and I have been watching him. He's downstairs now, at the foot of the stairs, pretending to be making a phone call. Except he's never dialed the phone. My son and I have been watching him. He's just standing there, waiting for you to come down. So do be careful tonight." I assured her that I was always careful...and thanked her...and went down the stairs. Yes, there was this creep...standing over against the wall, in the shadows, watching me...holding the phone to his ear. I went to the front door and looked out. The creep called over to me..."You waiting for a taxi?" "Yes," I answered back, "but how did you know?" He didn't answer that. My taxi arrived, and I went out and got in. (Next morning the owner's wife told me that the creep had gone out right after I left...and hadn't returned to the hotel all night.) When we drove up the long, dark country road to the deadend dropoff for me, the taxi driver turned to me and said, "You know something? You've got more nerve than I've got." And he looked out into the spooky blackness and shuddered. I got out, and he drove off. I studied the layout around me carefully...to see if anything, or anyone, moved in the shadows or along the ground...but everything seemed all right. === Page 16 of 20 it was icy cold, and a powerful wind was blowing...blowing so strong you could hear it on the tape recorder. Pitch black dark...very spooky. I walked through the darkness up the second road...then as soon as I could make out the clump of trees to my right I wheeled and ran over into them, out of sight completely from the road...or any other place, for that matter. I lay down on my right side under the tree...my back to the cliff...in the pitchblack darkness...and telepathed to the UFO's. In my prone position...I had the big advantage of being able to see low...that is, if I stood up, it was so dark I could see almost nothing...except the sky. I lay down flat on the ground...I could see the rise of the hill where'd I'd come up outlined against the sky...so that if anyone tried to trail me up the hill, I had an excellent chance to spot them. Suddenly there was a UFO right up over me. Then a second UFO flashed over me. Then two more UFO's flashed right over me. It was incredible to me...they were so numerous...so wondrous to see. Next an airplane flew onto the scene...no doubt from the Warminster Army Base, to check out all those UFO's. (I got this on tape.) Finally a last, beautiful UFO fluttered over me...flashing on and off, silent, darting about in sudden, quick movements which only a UFO can do. I realized with a sort of shock that five (5) UFO's had been directly up over me, this night! At time to leave my stand...I walked down the dark hill to the deadend gate, and climbed over. But no taxi. So...I decided to just keep on walking down the pitchblack dark hill road. Am glad that I did...because in a few minutes, to my left...I saw something moving...stopped, and observed it. It was a baby sheep. So cute and darling. Standing to my left, just beside the road...chewing grass in the night darkness. Close by to it, was a second baby sheep...just as cute. I watched them for a while, then continued walking down the road. Finally the lights of the taxi shown in the distance, as it came driving up the country hill road...and when he reached me, walking down, he apologized for being late. Actually...in all the many, many nights I went out to haunted castles and haunted hills to rendezvous with the UFO's...and the flock of taxi drivers who'd taken me out then returned to get me, later on...this was the first, and only, time a driver had goofed. Quite remarkable, I think. When I got back to my hotel, I made a strange discovery. There were five red dots on the palm of my left hand...and they burned like they were afire. Then I made another startling discovery...my "cross" ring had vanished off my left hand. Of my several rings, this one was my favorite...because it had tremendous sentimental value (actually, it was given to me, in a way, by the UFO's themselves)...so, I was horrified. Next morning, early bright, I called the taxi and went out to Cradle Hill, to my "stand" from the night before. As I searched around in the grass for the ring...a car pulled up close to me, on the lonely road (I'd left the taxi driver waiting, far down the hill) and uniformed military officers got out of the car. I thought...oh oh...now what? But they studiously avoided looking at me, although they were quite close by...and sort of walked around in the field near me. I left, went back down the hill to the taxi, went back into town...went to the local newspaper and put a reward offer for the ring in the classified section...then went to the cab office and told the manager I'd give a reward to any taxi drivers who might run across the ring. Then I returned to my hotel, and had supper. When I reached into my pants pocket for my billfold...there was my favorite "cross" ring in the pocket. No way. My pockets are jammed up with objects...scissors, knives of all sizes and shapes, documents, pens and pencils, and so on into the night. And I know where each object is at all times. The materials are all skillfully, intelligently organized. I can instantly reach into any pocket and take out any object I want. The ring simply could not have jumped from the little finger of my left hand...into my pants pocket. Impossible. But...I was delighted to be able to say hello to it again! === Page 17 of 20 27 That evening I told the taxi driver to take me to Cradle Hill again...but he surprised me by saying, "I thought that you said you wanted to go to Starr Hill some evening. Why not go there tonight?" Previous to this, no taxi driver had opened his mouth to suggest that I go anywhere...unless I asked him first. So...this unsolicited idea-suggestion came as a surprise. So I told him...okay. He drove us far out into the country, up a winding road, onto a hill...and he said okay, here we are. Just then the SI's comm'd...and instructed me to leave this place alone...and to go to the odd-looking, pointy hill called Copheap, off Elm St. I so instructed the taxi driver...who turned the taxi around in the darkness then drove all the way back to the Cradle Hill area...let me off on the dark road at the bottom of Copheap. I walked across a long, dark field toward the black bulk of the hill...then laboriously climbed up the steep hill in the blackness of the night. Lots of trees and logs...some of which I tripped and fell over, since I never used a light. Up, up onto the top of the hill. It was very very cold. Below and over to the side were the lights of the town. The top of the hill where I stood, slowly circling...was inky black...thick with trees and bushes. It was an absolutely fine SI rendezvous spot...except that, oddly, I sensed intelligence down underneath my feet...and wondered if, perhaps, the army had a secret layout built inside this hill. There's one in West Germany like that...I know because an ex-intelligence man confided in me. Might add here that, while climbing up the hill...two flare-like lights shot up over the hill...but I suspect that they were army devices. Didn't seem like UFO phenomena to me. After a long while...and after telepathing to the SI's...my head began to ache and throb. Something told me...I'd reached the absorption point...the point of no return...from the forces of SI--remodification. So I quickly packed up the equipment and started climbing down the dark, steep hill. As I did so...a sword UFO appeared...brilliant white light with radiating spokes...at ground level, not up in the air...and it followed my descent, followed my every move, as I moved across the dark field toward the road. It seemed like an eye watching me, and following my movement...I waved a hand to it in friendly greeting. While crossing the darkness of the long field...I heard a human cough over to my left, twice...would estimate 50-100 feet distance...so quite obviously I was under human surveillance. The taxi met me at the road, and I returned to the hotel. Now...I felt awful...my head ached; my body ached; and just deep down...I felt terrible. The feeling is indescribable. The SI's must have really unloaded on me, up there on the hill, their powers for remodification. At this point I knew for a certainty that under no circumstances must I expose myself further to SI remodification...because most certainly it would result in damage to me. They do not have limited, human bodies...they have other-dimensional life forces; other physical laws govern them...so it must be up to me to say "enough" when I've had enough. And I have. The next day a newspaper reporter came to the hotel for an interview for a local paper. Also, the SI's comm'd...and instructed me...warned me, in fact...not to proceed further in meeting with them. That remodification had been, in fact, accomplished by them. They told me to rest as much as possible...that it would take time, earth-time, for the other-dimensional forces they had planted in my brain to grow and become effective for use. How long, I asked them back...but there was no reply on that. I inquired re the purpose of the remodification...and received encapsulated intelligence...that the hundreds of miracles which I had accomplished heretofore, with my half alien brain, were as nothing compared to the miracles that I will be able to accomplish in the future...with this remodification process. And...my SI brain will be used to help the human race in a most peculiar manner. They want me to become a sort of "world fireman"... keeping me going at home. Ted. === Page 18 of 20 15 dashing off to one country after another...using other-dimensional powers in a constructive, creative manner...to "put out world-fires"; i.e., catastrophic events harming the human race yet not helping Nature...I'd use the analogy of the control of useless pain, wherein a person is tortured and racked by, say, cancer pain...so that the pain is controlled by drugs, hypnosis, etc. Because Nature uses pain as a most useful mechanism, ordinarily...but there are situations in which pain has no use at all...and therefore must be controlled or eliminated by cutting nerves, using drugs, etc. Well...a geographical area in the world could be beset by "useless pain" in the same manner, causing woe to the humans in that area. A hurricane, say, headed for Miami, Florida...would serve no useful purpose to Nature, but would cause humans "pain" as it spun towards the large cities. A terrible drought in Africa or India...would be considered "useless pain" to the humans in that area. A volcano blowing its top and spewing its lava down toward populated cities or towns...would be an emergency to be controlled by myself and the SI's. And so on. Well, I have documented the control of hurricanes, droughts, and volcano control...already, in the past...by myself and the SI's. But ahead in time...I will be able to do it more easily and quickly...and on a far more powerful scale...at least that's what they indicate to me. And of course...there are many many more world-situations which could conceivably occur as an emergency situation for the humans in various world areas...for me to go to, and control. For some reason unbeknownst to me...the SI's wish my physical presence, around the globe, at the location of the miracle to be brought about. I've pointed out to them that I have no monies...and it would take a fortune to do this sort of thing for them. And that's where it stands with regard to my buying airplane tickets, supplies, etc., to go packing off to India, Egypt, Africa, etc., to help there in those places. They gave me no answer on it. But I cannot conceive that they would go to all of the trouble that they have gone to...to get me to Europe to redo my brain...only to let the infinitely-intelligent plan fall through because of my lack of human monies to carry it out. Arthur Shuttlewood came over to the hotel...presented me with a carboncopy of his new book, "Invisible Worlds"...which contains a chapter on me and my work, and my meeting with him. I packed up and took a taxi to the train station. There a man dressed in black, wearing black gloves, paced all around me, watching me. Got onto the train...and the same man in black kept walking back and forth outside my compartment, glancing in at me. Went to eat in the diner...and he came in, took a table, and watched me. He had the strange mustache-beard that the man in the "other" car had had, which kept following me up to Cradle Hill then back to my hotel. Could easily have been the same man. Forgot to mention...had a deep cut on my thigh this morning, with red edges around it. About two inches long, puffed and swollen. There was no way...I could have gotten this cut on my thigh during the night...and didn't have it before. Arrived in London, and took a taxi to the Waldorf Hotel (not to be confused at all with the Waldorf-Astoria in New York!) Room rates reasonable. Was worn out and exhausted...from the SI work, I suppose...so just took it easy the rest of the day. Next morning was astonished to discover that I'd slept through...not to morning, excuse me...but 3PM in the afternoon! I couldn't believe my watch! When I awoke, it seemed like my usual 9 AM wakening. But 3 PM in the afternoon? Unbelievable, to me. Further, My eyes were red...and there was a redness of my upper chest and neck...when I touched it, it turned white, like sunburn does. Except I hadn't been under any sun! What happened last night? Also my brain was groggy and fuzzy. My reflexes were cockeyed...slow. I felt weak. When I went outside to walk...I found myself === Page 19 of 20 19 walking aimlessly, without purpose or direction...quite unlike me. I felt all muddled up inside, and confused. Almost got hit by cars half a dozen times. My timing was bad, and could not judge how to cross streets...I kept zigging when I should have been zagging. In short...I was not myself; not Ted Owens...sure-footed, fast moving, fast reflexes, knowing usually where I was going and what I was doing. Was almost as if there were another intelligence inside of me...sharing me, you might say...and it had not yet adjusted to my bodily reflexes and mental processes. Would take some time for it to adjust to my unit; my mechanism (body and mind). But...if this disorganized state of affairs would be due to a post-reaction to the work the SI's did on me...then I'd just have to wait to get over it. I remembered the first time the SI's had modified my brain...in Mexico...and it took years to get over it. I'd become disorganized and confused, and wandered for some years...quite unlike my natural self...until my mind had cleared. I remembered the policeman in that famous case...the UFO named Floyd...and the cop had shot at it. Afterward he went haywire...quit his police job...left his wife and kids...and went wandering off to California, where he dropped from sight. Close exposure to SI work...can have this effect on a human mechanism. And I had just been over-exposed to a great deal of close exposure to many many UFO's! The shock of the UFO work on me, I concluded, was just hitting me. I spent days making copies of my original tapes; fearful that something might happen to my originals before I got back...wanting a spare set. And as I made the copies, playing the originals over...I got headaches and dropped off to sleep several times in midday. I hoped that in some way I was not being re-exposed to the SI powers. The next day...I was my old self again. Sharp and clear; thinking decisive and logical. Timing perfect. Now a phrase kept creeping into my mind...and I realized that a scrap of material was penetrating into my conscious mind, in spite of the fact that the SI's had undoubtedly given me posthypnotic amnesia: "The hill is the only reality...your life is an illusion." If the SI's had given me this sort of powerful hypnotic suggestion, while they "had" me...then it would explain my positive love for Urquehart Castle, and the various haunted places I went to at night. My craving to go back, night after night, into the black darkness...without any fear whatsoever. Cautious apprehension with regard to human thugs, yes...but absolutely no fear of the darkness or the UFO entities that I knew were out there. Also a face kept coming to me in my dreams...and during waking. The face of an alien female. Tiny face; metallic (not human skin)...but her eyes were the main thing. Like silver metal...with just a small dark dot in the center. Not like our eye-pupil whatsoever. Cute, sexy little face she had. I reckoned that somehow my mind was recalling a few bits and pieces of what had happened; what I'd seen, etc. Her face was moonshaped; had an elfin expression. The thought came to me...that if the SI's "boosted" the power in my right lobe, and modified its mechanism...then it would naturally take time for the left lobe, the human half of my brain...to adjust and get into a balance...with the right lobe. A few more fascinating things to mention. While at Mayo Clinic a young lady called me long distance from Beaufort, North Carolina. (Still do not know how she got my phone number at my hotel in Rochester, Minnesota.) Anyway, while we were chatting...suddenly she said something which had nothing whatever to do with our conversation. === Page 20 of 20 23 She said, out of the blue... "Do you like to go fishing?" We'd been talking about her recent visit to my home in Virginia..and I couldn't see any connection whatsoever to what we were talking about. I blinked, at a loss for words...then gave her some kind of answer. She didn't explain the strange sentence interjected into our conversation. Then I met a young lady there at Mayo Clinic...a registered nurse...who volunteered to come up to the hotel and keep me company, so that I wouldn't be lonesome. She'd sit, knitting, and we'd chat. She discovered during our conversations that I was planning to move from our Virginia home...and actually volunteered to fly to Virginia and help me...because my bilateral hernia operation would make it difficult for me to move without help from some quarter. After I left Mayo she did, in fact, fly to Virginia, and helped my family pack things...she cooked for us...she gave priceless help, where help was needed. As I drove her to her return airplane she said to me... "Ted, do you like to go fishing?" I was dumfounded. That same sentence...spoken out of context with any conversation we were having. The thought occurred to me...had I been programmed somewhere along the way by US Govt. agents and given this posthyp trigger? The way it was done... would simply exclude coincidence. But...it happened again. During the few days in London while I was making tape copies, and trying to relax...I went out to dinner in Soho. Afterward, before returning to the hotel...was walking down the street...about 47th and Frith, I think it was...and a strikingly beautiful young blonde woman in a mink coat walked toward me, a smile on her face...and stopped briefly beside me...looking up into my eyes and smiling. It was an open invitation, and instantly I recalled having read of the London street prostitutes...yet she didn't seem like a pro hustler at all. I smiled back at her, then proceeded on walking. But I glanced back...and saw two men accost her (they'd witnessed her brief pause with me)... and to my surprise she turned up her nose at them...wouldn't speak or look at them... and she walked quickly up the street and turned the corner, out of sight. A while later, after I'd idly gawked into windows up and down different streets...I dropped into a pub to have a beer before returning to the hotel. Was standing at the bar, sipping the lager...when who pops up in front of me but this same pretty girl, smiling into my face. She said, "I've a place inside. Are you interested?" Another invitation. "Come on," she said, "I like you. I really do. DO YOU LIKE TO GO FISHING?" I politely disengaged myself from her and returned to the hotel. But was shaken by this exact, third use of that what must be a key sentence. Well, finally got onto a Jumbo jet back to New York...when the last, astonishing thing happened. I was back in the third section of the plane. Movies were to play in all three sections. Our movie started...then the sound went haywire. The air hostess went to everyone and offered to refund their money. I asked if the other two movies had gone haywire. No, she said...they are fine. I asked her if it was usual for the sound to go crazy during one of these airborne movies. No, she said...it was the first time in all the years she'd been working the planes... and she added that the flight engineer couldn't understand it. I told her about my brain...which causes things like that to happen constantly at my home in Virginia... and showed her a few books and mags re my work. Then my favorite cigar lighter vanished from my top pocket. No way it could have gotten lost. Lighted a cigar; put the lighter inside my pocket carefully...and it was gone! Hostesses came over and searched me, my bag, under the seats...nothing. After I got off the plane a man came running into Customs after me...said the lighter had turned up...and he gave it to me. That made 20 pounds; my knife; my ring; and now my lighter...vanishing. Luckily I got through Customs without getting racked up for not declaring stuff in New York before starting. Closing now. Millie, the SI's and I are forever in your debt for that European work. And George, the same, for keeping me going at home. Ted.

There I spent many, many nights on Loch Ness...communicating with the "Loch Ness Monster". It came up twice in front of me. Also I communicated, there in the dead of night...with UFO's...and they appeared all around me. One came down to where I was. One night on famous Cradle Hill, outside Warminster, about 1 AM in the morning...while I stood in the dark...the "Tin Bird" sound, made by UFO's (read Arthur Shuttlewood's great book, "Warnings From Flying Friends"...meaning UFO's...in which he describes this sound coming from UFO's...) anyway this weird sound came to me as the UFO came down to where I was...and I have it on my tape recorder. Matter of fact...all those nights spent in haunted castles, on Loch Ness, on famous "UFO hills" like Cradle Hill, Elm Hill, etc...were taped by my tape recorder. And the tapes are priceless. It takes me, under the conditions which I work...two days to make a duplicate set of tapes from my seven originals (I used hour tapes...try to get them onto 90's). Very well. For those few people who would like a complete set of these priceless tapes...with me in person, night after night after night at Stonehenge, at Urquhart Castle, at Old Sarum Castle, on Cradle Hill...and much more...(and bear in mind that I had to actually break into many of these places...like a burglar...in order to do my work)... I will personally take two days and make you a duplicate set of tapes...plus a complete written report...astounding report...only one of its kind... for any of you who will contribute $100 or more to my work and research. Not only my work and research...but this year I must write a complete book of my incredible life (and remember that I have accomplished hundreds of miracles...most of them fully documented) and your money will help me to get this done.

Medicine men who claim they make the ball disappear or cast a spell on opposing players with animal or bird charms are especially active in soccer, officials note. They have announced a new campaign to clean up witchcraft and expel the sorcerers from the trainer's bench. Kenya football federation secretary Chare Asiko warned clubs, fans and witch doctors that anyone found guilty of practicing spells will be subject to criminal prosecution and also face the wrath of the Kenya Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. "Witchcraft should have no place in Kenya soccer," Asiko said. "The practice of witchcraft is unsettling our efforts to clean up soccer." An estimated 95 per cent of Kenya soccer clubs are thought to hire witch doctors or soothsayers to help them win matches. Competitions have been periodically marred by witchcraft-inspired riots. The witch doctors themselves - many of whom have become extremely rich - claim they can do such tricks as making the ball disappear altogether or swerve at a vital moment, prevent opposing players from scoring by freezing their bodies momentarily or even move the net itself. Recently, matches have been plagued by a series of witchcraft incidents involving birds and animals. At one game, fans nearly rioted when a pigeon was seen hovering near one goal area. The fans claimed it was inspired by witchcraft and prevented their team from scoring. The situation was saved only when police caught the bird and escorted it out of the stadium. At another game, fans claimed a dead cat found outside the stadium was also inspired by witchcraft. Last year officials threatened to disband one leading team altogether because players and officials allegedly consulted a witch doctor. But the sorcerers recently lost face in Kenya. In June, one official challenged Kenya's English soccer club, Norwich City, the national sports body would consider witchcraft a thing of Kenya soccer and would pay witch doctors for two years. Norwich won every game. === Page 3 of 24 U.S. 1-Plane Record; Lightning a Suspect Va. Pilot 6/25/75 6/24/75 By ARTHUR EVERETT NEW YORK (AP) - An Eastern Airlines 727 jetliner coming in for a landing in a thunderstorm crashed and burned just short of Kennedy International Airport Tuesday. More than 100 people were killed in the crash, the worst single-plane disaster in the history of U.S. aviation. The plane, carrying 115 passengers and eight crew members, was a nonstop flight from New Orleans. At least two witnesses said they saw lightning strike the aircraft just before it tore through three landing-approach light stanchions and plow into an area of parkland north of the airport. En route to its resting place, the big airliner spun across heavily traveled Rockaway Boulevard and flipped upside down. The first doctor on the scene minutes later said "it was full of smoke; people were screaming and yelling." The death toll eclipsed the loss of 58 lives in the Dec. 29, 1972, crash of an Eastern TriStar jetliner in the Everglades near Miami, previously the worst single-plane domestic air crash. The nation's worst air disaster involved the collision of a United Airlines DC8 and a Trans World Airlines Superconstellation above Staten Island in 1960. That crash claimed 134 lives. In the Kennedy crash, luggage, bodies, and debris from the shattered jetliner were scattered over a five-acre patch of undeveloped land. George Van Epps, in charge of an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board, was asked about reports that the plane was struck by lightning. "It's certainly something that will be considered in the investigation," he said. Epps said that at least two previous crashes in the 1960s were attributed to lightning, one of them a Pan American plane at Elkton, Md., and the other a TWA airliner in Rome. "Lightning hit the plane," said Paul Moran, a Nassau County police officer. "It tilted to the right and went about 20 more yards, then hit the ground." "I am almost positive the plane was hit by lightning," said Neal Rairden, 23, who was pumping gas at a nearby service station. The plane, Flight 66, was banking low on its approach to Kennedy at about 4:08 p.m., 23 minutes behind its scheduled 3:45 p.m. landing. One of the passengers, Egon Luftaas of Norway, badly burned in the crash, said at the Jamaica Hospital emergency room: "Going in for a landing, the pilot went too much to the left. You know, with one wing down, not two. Then there was an explosion. Everyone was flinging around. After that I only remember fire." From above the scene, a unit reported: "Debris is tered over a large area." The metro rush hour within fir ISSUED BY TRANS WORLD AIRLINES, INC. ENDORSEMENTS NAME OF PASSENGER OWENS/MR.

Pilot June 26, 1975 # Capricious Winds # A Possible Cause In Jetliner Crash NEW YORK (AP) -- Wind sheers -- capricious and powerful swerves and surges of wind -- may have been what slammed an Eastern Airlines Boeing 727 to the ground in a thunderstorm as it approached Kennedy International Airport Tuesday. But a safety official also recounted Wednesday that a small, light airplane landed safely just ahead of the big jet from New Orleans, in which more than 100 people perished. Lightning also was a possible cause put before the big team of investigators assembled at the airport by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). A number of witnesses say the plane was struck by a bolt of lightning and went down. (A spokesman for the NTSB said there has been only one previous case in U.S. aviation history where lightning has been cited as the cause of a crash. (That clearcut case he said occurred Dec. 8, 1963, when a Pan American World Airways 707 crashed near Elkton, Md., and killed all 81 on board. He said the investigation revealed that lightning touched off an explosion of a fuel-air mixture in the wing tank. (There was a crash near Milan, Italy, June 26, 1959, in which all 68 aboard a Trans World Airlines Superconstellation were killed. The Italian government concluded that the cause was an explosion set off by static electricity. Most investigators, he said, would say that static electricity wouldn't have been present without lightning. (A random three-year check of general aviation statistics revealed that one aircraft accident a year is caused by lightning, he added. (The NTSB spokesman said that lightning frequently strikes commercial airliners, but that they are designed and built to protect the craft and passengers from serious damage. "Serious damage from lightning," he said, "is rare." ("The basic reason is that aircraft are not sitting ducks, like a golfer on a golf course. They aren't grounded. If struck, the wing skin might be pitted or the crew blinded temporarily by the flash, but no real damage occurs from the bolt itself, which passes through the craft back into the atmosphere. ("There is no case in which lightning destroyed the airframe or damaged it to the extent that the plane couldn't fly," the spokesman said. (The problem develops where there is a fuel leak that can be ignited, causing an explosion, when the lightning hits, he said). The flaming crash late Tuesday afternoon was one of the worst air disasters in U.S. history and the first major crash in New York in a decade. === Page 6 of 24 # QUAKE JOLTS 20 STATES Although he can literally unleash and control hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes, influence our space probes, and make UFOs appear at his request, he is not a sorcerer--but the representative of the SIs (Saucer Intelligences) who have bestowed the most incredible power in him so that he could act for them on Earth and prove to the world that they really exist! # TED OWENS-- FLYING SAUCER MISSIONARY By Otto O. Binder 22 ☐ SAGA === Page 7 of 24 ASIA Mrs. Gandhi with backers after court decision: Seeing the verdict from the viewpoint of political necessity Yet another Pres., Prime Minister, etc., taken out. # Indira Gandhi in the Dock The crowd packed the sweltering chamber of the High Court of Allahabad as Judge Jagmohan Lal Sinha entered the room. The tall, balding justice carried a 254-page document with him, but one short sentence told the story. "The election of Respondent No. 1 to the Lok Sabha [the lower house of Parliament]," Sinha intoned, "is declared void." Respondent No. 1 was no ordinary defendant; she was Prime Minister Indira Gandhi who, the judge ruled, had violated Indian electoral law in her 1971 campaign for Parliament. The decision instantly pitched India into the most tangled constitutional crisis in its 28-year history as an independent nation--and could force Mrs. Gandhi to resign the prime ministership that she has held for nine years. Within minutes of the ruling, Mrs. Gandhi's lawyer obtained a twenty-day stay of the decision, and aides of the Prime Minister announced that she would appeal the verdict to India's Supreme Court. There was "no question" of her resigning her office, they said. Mrs. Gandhi's strategy clearly was to muster public and political support, and leaders of her ruling Congress Party as well as thousands of her countrymen rallied to her side. But the court's action dealt a serious blow to Mrs. Gandhi's prestige, and the very next day she suffered a second setback. In a by-election in the western coastal state of Gujarat, the once invincible Congress Party was upset by an opposition coalition. It was a rare display of cooperation on the part of India's usually feuding minority parties--and a personal slap at the Prime Minister, who had campaigned vigorously and implored Gujarat's voters to back Congress candidates as a show of support for her policies. The Prime Minister tried virtually everything to beat back the challenge of the six-party Janata (People's) Front in Gujarat. Despite broiling temperatures that often shot up to 110 degrees, she spent days campaigning, visiting each of the state's nineteen districts and speaking at 120 political meetings. She allotted $20 million in government relief funds for the drought-ravaged area and promised irrigation projects and special assistance to Gujarat's untouchables. Nothing worked. Angry students forced her to flee from several rallies by hurling stones and sandals at her, and when the voters went to the polls last week, their reaction was almost equally harsh. The Congress Party--which had won 140 state-assembly seats in the last election--picked up a dismal 75 while the united opposition won 87. The significance of the opposition victory went far beyond the borders of Gujarat, for the election results were almost certain to spur a similar combined opposition assault on the Congress Party in India's national elections early next year. "Fanciful": Mrs. Gandhi's legal setback in Allahabad, her home town, was far more stinging. Socialist politician Raj Narain--whom she had swamped in the 1971 election by more than 112,000 votes--charged that Mrs. Gandhi had spent nearly twenty times the permissible $4,500 in her campaign, illegally traveled in Indian Air Force planes and used government officials to campaign for her. The Prime Minister struggled for nearly four years to have the case thrown out of court, but that failed and so did her attempts to avoid testifying. Judge Sinha refused Mrs. Gandhi's request to file a deposition, and she sat on the witness stand for six and a half hours denying everything and labeling the charges against her "highly exaggerated" and "fanciful." In the end, Sinha disagreed. Although he dismissed several of the charges, the judge found the Prime Minister guilty on two counts: illegally using local policemen to set up equipment at her campaign appearances and illegally employing a government official as a campaign worker. Chant: The verdict stunned India and split the nation into two camps. Mrs. Gandhi's opponents hailed the judge's ruling (on occasion comparing Sinha to Watergate Judge John Sirica) and scheduled a week of demonstrations to protest her refusal to resign from office. The pro-Gandhi bloc was just as vocal. Nearly 2,000 supporters thronged the street outside her home, sending up the odd chant: "We will face bullets and canes but will protect you." Hundreds of New Delhi shops were closed and buses canceled as expressions of support for the Prime Minister, and leaders of the Congress Party urged her to remain in office because of "the need of the country to have the benefit of your dynamic leader- Newsweek, June 23, 1975 15 === Page 8 of 24 SEE MY PREDICTIONS FOR BE DUY IN "WHAT THE SEERS PREDICT FOR 1971" BY STEIGER & SMITH. # Financial Plight of N.Y.

Uganda Radio, monitored here, said President Amin was speaking at a meeting yesterday with the Acting British High Commissioner in Kampala, James Hennessy The sentenced Britons are 61-year-old university lecturer Denis Hills, convicted of treason and already sentenced to death, and 38-year-old trader Stanley Smolen, who is accused of food hoarding, a capital offense. Mr. Hennessy handed to President Amin a signed letter from British Prime Minister Harold Wilson replying to a six-point ultimatum given by President Amin to Britain last week for the release of the two Britons, the Radio said. **Deadline** President Amin told Mr. Hennessy that British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan or Defence Minister Roy Mason should fly out for talks with him before his 10-day deadline for compliance with his ultimatum expires Saturday Mr Callaghan has already indicated in the House of Commons his willingness to visit Kampala for talks -- but said he would undertake such a mission only "if humanity prevails" in the cases of the two Britons. This was taken to mean the death sentences would have to be rescinded before he visited Uganda. **Delegation** President Amin said whoever came to Uganda must be accompanied by a military delegation to discuss Uganda's requirements of spare parts for British-supplied armaments. This was one of President Amin's six conditions. The others included the cessation of all "anti-Uganda propaganda" by Britain and in the British press and the return of all Ugandan exiles living in Britain. President Amin said his ruling Defence Council was making arrangements on when and where to implement the death sentence on Mr. Hills, who was ordered to face a firing squad by a five-man military tribunal last Wednesday. He was accused of referring to President Amin in a manuscript as "a village tyrant" -- AP # ONE BRITON ACQUITTED IN UGANDA Nairobi June 19 BRITISH businessman Stanley Smolen, who was facing a possible death penalty in Uganda on a hoarding charge, was acquitted today, Radio Uganda reported. The radio said that Mr. Smolen had been acquitted of all charges by a Uganda military tribunal. Mr. Smolen had pleaded not guilty to hoarding cooking oil and soap, an offence which normally calls for a prison sentence. But President Idi Amin had warned that Mr. Smolen could have a firing squad if found guilty.

British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan has said he would be prepared to visit Uganda for talks with President Amin if the two Britons were treated humanely.

But General Amin cannot be dismissed as a figure of fun: the crisis that he has precipitated between Britain and Uganda is too serious for that. Denis Cecil Hills, a British citizen and lecturer, is now scheduled to be executed July 4 for making disparaging remarks about General Amin in a book that remains unpublished. Mr. Hills, 61, characterized General Amin in his manuscript as a "village tyrant." He was arrested, charged with treason, and condemned to die by a military tribunal in Uganda. The execution was postponed when two British representatives arrived in Uganda with a personal plea from Queen Elizabeth. But General Amin now says that Mr. Hills will not be spared unless British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan flies to Uganda to negotiate a political settlement. General Amin is demanding spare parts for British-made military equipment, the expulsion from Britain of refugees from Uganda, and the ending of "malicious propaganda" against Uganda. The British Foreign Office is maintaining a stiff upper lip; the British are not only concerned for the fate of Mr. Hills but the future of the 700 British citizens remaining in Uganda. General Amin obviously wants to humiliate the British for his own personal reasons. "I am only fierce to the British because I want these people to kneel down at my feet," he said in a speech delivered June 13 in the main square of Kampala, the capital of Uganda, and broadcast over the radio. It ought to be noted that the envoy from the Queen was Lieutenant General Sir Chandos Blair, who formerly served in the King's African Rifles in Uganda before the British colony was declared independent in 1962. General Amin was a sergeant under his command. General Blair was accompanied by Ian Graham, a retired army major who once was General Amin's battalion commander. According to Radio Uganda, the two British officers approached "on their knees" to beg that Mr. Hills be spared. But General Amin has since stated in a cablegram to the Queen that the British envoy behaved rudely and acted as if he were still General Amin's commanding officer, so the report seems untrue. In any event General Amin's anxiety to humiliate his old officers is a touch that a novelist -- Graham Greene, perhaps -- would understand. General Amin is a gaudy villain in the 19th Century tradition, an antagonist for the likes of Chinese Gordon or Lord Kitchener. In dealing with him 20th Century diplomacy is unsuitable. It's a shame that gunboats are out of style. Va. July 2, 1975 Pilot Amin Says Briton to Be Spared KINSHASA, Zaire (AP)--President Idi Amin of Uganda Tuesday said that he has decided to pardon Denis Hills, the British lecturer who was ordered to be shot by a firing squad on Friday for describing Amin as a village tyrant in an unpublished book. The national news agency Zaire Presse said Amin told a news conference he will respond favorably to a clemency request from President Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire because Hills' confession showed he was at the service of his mentors. He gave no indication of who the mentors were. The 61-year-old Hills, a resident of Uganda for 11 years, was convicted of high treason by a Ugandan military court. Amin, on a 48-hour visit to Zaire, said he planned to inform the British charge d'affaires in Kinshasa of his decision to spare Hills. Zaire Presse also quoted the Ugandan leader as saying he wants Mobutu to act as a mediator in all matters between himself and the British government. === Page 13 of 24 Uganda decides fate of British lecturer Nairobi June 22. THE fate of British lecturer Denis Hills, under sentence of death by firing squad for treason, will be decided tomorrow by the Ugandan Defence Council, Uganda radio said today. The radio announced earlier that the execution of Mr. Hills, set for tomorrow morning, had been postponed, after General Amin received an appeal from Queen Elizabeth delivered by Lieutenant-General Sir Chandos Blair. Later the radio said the president, after spending much of today with General Blair and Major Iain Grahame, the Queen's other envoy, would brief the Defence Council tomorrow on a final decision in the Hills case. today The radio quoted General Amin as saying it was up to the Defence Council, the supreme policy-making body in Uganda under the chairmanship of the President, to make the decision. The radio said that after the success of General Blair's visit to Uganda President Amin planned to send an envoy to London to restart afresh the relationship between Britain and Uganda. All indications in Nairobi were that President Amin would recommend to the Defence Council that Mr. Hills' life be spared, according to diplomatic sources. The envoys of Queen Elizabeth, after from being humiliated, were treated as honoured guests of President Amin, British government officials said today. The officials were commenting on a statement broadcast by the Uganda government radio that the Queen's envoys, Lt Gen. Sir Chandos Blair and Maj Iain Grahame, had gone down on their knees to plead for the life of British teacher Dennis Hills. As a result of the plea, the radio said, President Amin postponed the execution of Hills set for tomorrow by firing squad on treason charges. British officials said Gen Blair and Major Grahame were received by President Amin yesterday at his home in Arua, 300 miles northwest of Nairobi. The home, they said, is a native-style thatched cottage with a doorway so low even Amin has practically to get on his knees to enter. - Reuter and AP. UGANDA: Kangaroo Court "He has done harm to his people . . . He has reimposed on Ugandans old habits of submission and servility that one hoped uhuru was eroding." The target of that broadside was none other than Uganda's President Idi Amin. And considering Amin's whimsical brutality, the criticism seemed temperate enough. The trouble was that the author of the remarks, British scholar Dennis Cecil Hills, lives inside the borders of Amin's kingdom. And when the Ugandan leader learned that, he ordered the 61-year-old Hills to stand trial for "treason" before a military court. Last week, Amin's court duly found Hills guilty. The sentence: death before a firing squad. Hills will be executed this week--unless Britain bows to an ultimatum from Amin which, among other things, demands the expulsion of anti-Amin Ugandans from Britain and the sale of military spare parts to his army. The British Government, which can scarcely afford to submit to such blackmail, has asked responsible African leaders to intercede with Amin. But there's no predicting Big Daddy's behavior. Late last week, in fact, Radio Uganda announced that another Briton might face the firing squad--this time for "hoarding." And if the spirit so moves Amin, there are 800 more British nationals living in Uganda whom he could use as pawns on his own political chessboard. Newsweek, June 23, 1975 'CALLAGHAN MUST GO TO UGANDA' Amin puts off execution for another eleven days London June 23. A BRITISH lecturer Denis Hills will be executed in 11 days time unless British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan goes to Uganda, Radio Uganda quoted President Idi Amin as saying today. Hills, under sentence of death for treason, was to have faced a firing squad today. But the execution was postponed by General Amin after he met emissaries from Britain's Queen Elizabeth bearing her appeal for clemency for Hills. General Amin had told them a decision in the hills case would be given today. Instead the execution was postponed yet again - while General Amin renewed his request for a visit by Mr. Callaghan, a request he also made last week. Radio Uganda today also quoted an emissary of Queen Elizabeth as telling President Idi Amin that he faces military retaliation by Britain if he sticks to his decision to execute British lecturer Denis Hills. The Radio said the emissary, Lieutenant-General Sir Chandos Blair, threatened that Britain would use its forces stationed in Kenya against Uganda. In London, however, an army spokesman at the Ministry of Defence said: "We have no army units in East Africa at the moment and we are not sending any out currently on exercise." Mr. Callaghan has told the British Parliament he was willing to visit Uganda, but not under duress. General Amin, according to the Radio today, said the advice he received from his Defence Council was not to change his decision on Hills unless Mr. Callaghan visited Uganda. He would be prepared to meet Mr. Callaghan at any time and the British Minister would receive a great welcome in Uganda. But he would have no choice but to implement his decision if Mr. Callaghan fails to go to Uganda, the Radio said. - Reuter === Page 14 of 24 Va. Pilot July 11, 1975 Both men saved.

The 61-year-old Hills, stepping aboard Callaghan's Royal Air Force plane with only a few possessions folded in a blanket, said he still loves Uganda. In freeing Hills, Amin declared his love for the British. Hills walked unannounced into Amin's command post home as the president was talking with Callaghan, who flew to Africa on a two-day mercy mission to try to patch up British-Ugandan relations and win Hills' release after Amin gave him a reprieve from execution. Standing beside Callaghan and Amin on the balcony of the house, Hills looked fit and untroubled despite three months in detention and his reported illness from cancer. "I am well. I am very happy," Hills said at Entebbe Airport, 20 miles away on Lake Victoria. "I would like to say how genuinely I have loved Uganda during my 12 years here and still do," he continued. "I am very sorry to be leaving Uganda. "But I will never forget its beauty, the kindness of its people, and my pleasure in teaching Ugandan students." Callaghan told newsmen after meeting with the mercurial Amin for 45 minutes that he is satisfied that more than 700 other Britons still living in Uganda are safe. He said top-level British and Ugandan officials will continue discussions to improve relations. Amin told newsmen he is "definitely pro-British" and wants to strengthen ties between Britain and its former colony. "I am not mad, as the British press has said," Amin declared. # Marine Flier Still Missing After Crash 6/10/75 NORFOLK -- A Marine Corps flier from Beaufort, S.C. was still missing late Wednesday after his F4 Phantom jet crashed shortly after taking off from the aircraft carrier Nimitz Tuesday. Capt. David E. Fritz, 32, a radar intercept officer assigned to Marine Fighter Squadron 333, ejected safely, a Navy spokesman said, but couldn't be located by rescue helicopters after the accident. Fritz's pilot, Capt. Eric Denkwalter, was rescued in good condition by a helicopter. The accident happened about 5:15 p.m. when the nuclear carrier was operating off the Virginia Capes. The destroyer Dale out of Mayport, Fla., is continuing the search. The Navy said it had no explanation for the crash. The aircraft had been among 600 Navy and Marine Corps Phantoms that had been grounded earlier this month after the crash of an F4. Tuesday, the Navy said that all the planes had been inspected for a defective control mechanism and were corrected or okayed for operations. Va. Pilot === Page 15 of 24 U.S. 1-Plane Record; Lightning a Suspect Va. Pilot 6/25/75 By ARTHUR EVERETT NEW YORK (AP) -- An Eastern Airlines 727 jetliner coming in for a landing in a thunderstorm crashed and burned just short of Kennedy International Airport Tuesday. More than 100 people were killed in the crash, the worst single-plane disaster in the history of U.S. aviation. The plane, carrying 115 passengers and eight crew members, was a nonstop flight from New Orleans. At least two witnesses said they saw lightning strike the aircraft just before it tore through three landing-approach light stanchions and plow into an area of parkland north of the airport. En route to its resting place, the big airliner spun across heavily traveled Rockaway Boulevard and flipped upside down. The first doctor on the scene minutes later said: "It was full of smoke; people were screaming and yelling." The death toll eclipsed the loss of 99 lives in the Dec. 29, 1972, crash of an Eastern TriStar jetliner in the Everglades near Miami, previously the worst single-plane domestic air crash. The nation's worst air disaster involved the collision of a United Airlines DC8 and a Trans World Airlines Superconstellation above Staten Island in 1960. That crash claimed 134 lives. In the Kennedy crash, luggage, bodies, and debris from the shattered jetliner were scattered over a five-acre patch of undeveloped land. George Van Epps, in charge of an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board, was asked about reports that the plane was struck by lightning. "It's certainly something that will be considered in the investigation," he said. Epps said that at least two previous crashes in the 1960s were attributed to lightning, one of them a Pan American plane at Elkton, Md., and the other a TWA airliner in Rome. "Lightning hit the plane," said Paul Morse, a Nassau County police officer. "It tilted to the right and went about 20 more yards, then hit the ground." "I am almost positive the plane was hit by lightning," said Neal Hayden, 22, who was pumping gas at a nearby service station.

Pilot June 26, 1975 # Capricious Winds # A Possible Cause # In Jetliner Crash NEW YORK (AP) -- Wind sheers -- capricious and powerful swerves and surges of wind -- may have been what slammed an Eastern Airlines Boeing 727 to the ground in a thunderstorm as it approached Kennedy International Airport Tuesday. But a safety official also recounted Wednesday that a small, light airplane landed safely just ahead of the big jet from New Orleans, in which more than 100 people perished. Lightning also was a possible cause put before the big team of investigators assembled at the airport by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). A number of witnesses say the plane was struck by a bolt of lightning and went down. (A spokesman for the NTSB said there has been only one previous case in U.S. aviation history where lightning has been cited as the cause of a crash. (That clearcut case he said occurred Dec. 8, 1963, when a Pan American World Airways 707 crashed near Elkton, Md., and killed all 81 on board. He said the investigation revealed that lightning touched off an explosion of a fuel-air mixture in the wing tank. (There was a crash near Milan, Italy, June 26, 1959, in which all 68 aboard a Trans World Airlines Superconstellation were killed. The Italian government concluded that the cause was an explosion set off by static electricity. Most investigators, he said, would say that static electricity wouldn't have been present without lightning. (A random three-year check of general aviation statistics revealed that one aircraft accident a year is caused by lightning, he added. (The NTSB spokesman said that lightning frequently strikes commercial airliners, but that they are designed and built to protect the craft and passengers from serious damage. "Serious damage from lightning," he said, "is rare." ("The basic reason is that aircraft are not sitting ducks, like a golfer on a golf course. They aren't grounded. If struck, the wing skin might be pitted or the crew blinded temporarily by the flash, but no real damage occurs from the bolt itself, which passes through the craft back into the atmosphere. ("There is no case in which lightning destroyed the airframe or damaged it to the extent that the plane couldn't fly," the spokesman said. (The problem develops where there is a fuel leak that can be ignited, causing an explosion, when the lightning hits, he said). The flaming crash late Tuesday afternoon was one of the worst air disasters in U.S. history and the first major crash in New York in a decade. === Page 19 of 24 QUAKE JOLTS 20 STATES TED OWENS - FLYING SAUCER MISSIONARY Although he can literally unleash and control hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes, influence our space probes, and make UFOs appear at his request, he is not a sorcerer--but the representative of the SIs (Saucer Intelligences) who have bestowed the most incredible power in him so that he could act for them on Earth and prove to the world that they really exist!

Two boys, one 14 years old, the other 15, are arrested. A cab driver is held up and fatally shot on a street in Dallas, Tex. Two 14-year-olds and a 15-year-old are charged with the crime. An artist is brutally beaten to death in New York's Central Park in a struggle for his expensive bicycle. The police say five boys--two 16, one 15, one 13, and one 12--are responsible for the slaying. A grocer in Los Angeles, Calif., is murdered during a holdup. The accused are a 14-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy. The arresting officer says: "It was the most vicious thing I ever saw. First they shot him, then they chopped his face up. They told me they did it because he wouldn't sell them beer and started to give them a lecture." In New York, a 14-year-old boy is charged with the murder of a 63-year-old woman in her apartment in the South Bronx, a decaying slum area. He is held for seven weeks in a juvenile detention center. Detective Ralph Walker of the Seventh Homicide Zone said that the youth looked familiar when he took him to Family Court. Then he remembered that a professional artist had witnessed a slaying the year before and had supplied a drawing of the youth. The witness was brought in, identified the youth, and he was arrested for the 1973 New Year's Eve multiple-stabbing death of a 73-year-old man during a mugging as the victim left a subway station in the South Bronx. "This is his fourth arrest," said Detective Walker, referring to the 14-year-old boy, whose name was withheld in keeping with Family Court laws intended to protect the young. "All four cases were for assault and robbery. The result was the deaths of two innocent people. The kid didn't even seem shook up when we charged him with the second murder. He knows he can get only 18 months. We can't cope with this court system. There's no real punishment. That New Year's Eve victim was an old cripple, and the perpetrator chopped him up nine times with a butcher knife. That's no juvenile delinquent in my book." Thousands of similar cases reported from across the country are symptoms of an alarming plague of violent crime committed by young people that is rapidly becoming one of our gravest problems. Not only has there been an astonishing increase, but more and more crimes are being committed by younger children. Seven- and eight-year-olds have been taken into custody for rape, robbery, and assault this year. One murder was attributed to an eight-year-old boy, another to a nine-year-old boy, a third to a nine-year-old girl. All used handguns to kill children approximately their own age, according to police.

The tall, balding justice carried a 254-page document with him, but one short sentence told the story: "The election of Respondent No. 1 to the Lok Sabha [the lower house of Parliament]," Sinha intoned, "is declared void." Respondent No. 1 was no ordinary defendant; she was Prime Minister Indira Gandhi who, the judge ruled, had violated Indian electoral law in her 1971 campaign for Parliament. The decision instantly pitched India into the most tangled constitutional crisis in its 28-year history as an independent nation--and could force Mrs. Gandhi to resign the prime ministership that she has held for nine years. Within minutes of the ruling, Mrs. Gandhi's lawyer obtained a twenty-day stay of the decision, and aides of the Prime Minister announced that she would appeal the verdict to India's Supreme Court. There was "no question" of her resigning her office, they said. Mrs. Gandhi's strategy clearly was to muster public and political support, and leaders of her ruling Congress Party as well as thousands of her countrymen rallied to her side. But the court's action dealt a serious blow to Mrs. Gandhi's prestige, and the very next day she suffered a second setback. In a by-election in the western coastal state of Gujarat, the once invincible Congress Party was upset by an opposition coalition. It was a rare display of cooperation on the part of India's usually feuding minority parties--and a personal slap at the Prime Minister, who had campaigned vigorously and implored Gujarat's voters to back Congress candidates as a show of support for her policies. The Prime Minister tried virtually everything to beat back the challenge of the six-party Janata (People's) Front in Gujarat. Despite broiling temperatures that often shot up to 110 degrees, she spent days campaigning, visiting each of the state's nineteen districts and speaking at 120 political meetings. She allotted $20 million in government relief funds for the drought-ravaged area and promised irrigation projects and special assistance to Gujarat's untouchables. Nothing worked. Angry students forced her to flee from several rallies by hurling stones and sandals at her, and when the voters went to the polls last week, their reaction was almost equally harsh. The Congress Party--which had won 140 state-assembly seats in the last election--picked up a dismal 75 while the united opposition won 87. The significance of the opposition victory went far beyond the borders of Gujarat, for the election results were almost certain to spur a similar combined opposition assault on the Congress Party in India's national elections early next year. 'Fanciful': Mrs. Gandhi's legal setback in Allahabad, her home town, was far more stinging. Socialist politician Raj Narain--whom she had swamped in the 1971 election by more than 112,000 votes--charged that Mrs. Gandhi had spent nearly twenty times the permissible $4,500 in her campaign, illegally traveled in Indian Air Force planes and used government officials to campaign for her. The Prime Minister struggled for nearly four years to have the case thrown out of court, but that failed and so did her attempts to avoid testifying. Judge Sinha refused Mrs. Gandhi's request to file a deposition, and she sat on the witness stand for six and a half hours denying everything and labeling the charges against her "highly exaggerated" and "fanciful." In the end, Sinha disagreed. Although he dismissed several of the charges, the judge found the Prime Minister guilty on two counts: illegally using local policemen to set up equipment at her campaign appearances and illegally employing a government official as a campaign worker. Chant: The verdict stunned India and split the nation into two camps. Mrs. Gandhi's opponents hailed the judge's ruling (on occasion comparing Sinha to Watergate Judge John Sirica) and scheduled a week of demonstrations to protest her refusal to resign from office. The pro-Gandhi bloc was just as vocal. Nearly 2,000 supporters thronged the street outside her home, sending up the old chant: "We will face bullets and canes but will protect you." Hundreds of New Delhi shops were closed and buses canceled as expressions of support for the Prime Minister, and leaders of the Congress Party urged her to remain in office because of "the need of the country to have the benefit of your dynamic leader- Newsweek, June 23, 1975 15 === Page 22 of 24 Engine Suspect RADAR DEMO June 25, 1975 Va. Pilot # Oceana Jet Emergency Puts Fleet on Ground WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Navy Thursday disclosed that its entire fleet of 600 F4 Phantom jet fighters had been grounded for safety inspections after a crash caused by control failure. Most F4s have cleared inspection and are free to fly again, the Navy said. The grounding of the $18-million F14s, the Navy's newest combat aircraft, was ordered after an F14 made an emergency landing Tuesday at the Oceana Naval Air Station. "The symptoms in that incident had certain similarities to earlier incidents experienced with the F14," a Navy announcement said. Later that same month, an F14 flying from the carrier Enterprise in the Indian Ocean experienced engine flameouts, but managed to return safely to the carrier. The January incidents involving the F14 are believed traceable to engine difficulties, Navy officials have said. In announcing the new F14 grounding, the Navy said it will last "until the investigation of the recent incident (at Oceana) can be completed and fully assessed." In event of emergency, the Navy said, the F14s will fly. The two-man crew escaped harm in the emergency landing of the F14 at Oceana. At the time, the Navy said a muffled explosion was heard, and fire erupted from the port engine after the plane took off. "While it is too early to report any firm details as to the cause," the Navy said in its grounding announcement, "it appears that the damage occurred in the left engine fan and compressor section. "It has not yet been determined whether the damage was occasioned by a foreign object or by an engine malfunction." At Oceana Naval Air Station, Capt. D. L. Hancock, commander of Tactical Wings, Atlantic, was surprised to learn of the grounding. "It was the last thing I expected," he said. He declined, because of regulations, to specify the number of F14s at the station. "There are four Oceana-based squadrons with F14s on board. Beyond that, I am not at liberty to say." Hancock was, when he learned of the grounding, waiting for flag officers to inspect the plane that had trouble Tuesday. The Navy said 93 of the 433 F4s checked since they were grounded June 21 were found to be defective and in need of repair. The problem with the F4s centers in the tail-flap section of the control system. nas ordered corrections officials to have 6/25/75 Va. Pilot # Flight Mishap By F14 ## Explosion, Fire Force Landing VIRGINIA BEACH--An F14 Tomcat jet made an emergency landing at Oceana Naval Air Sta-tion Tuesday after an explosion and fire in one of its engines. Spokesmen said there were no injuries. The F14 was from the Navy's Fighter Squadron 143. According to spokesmen, the jet took off from Oceana on a routine training flight about 12:30 p.m. There was a muffled explosion and an eruption of fire almost immediately after the plane became airborne, officials said. The jet reportedly was back on the ground within five minutes. The cause of the mishap is being investigated. The extent of damage to the $16-million jet hadn't been deter-mined late Tuesday. Tomcats are new to the Navy and are said to be among the world's most so-phisticated fighter planes. Va. Pilot 6/27/75 # 205 Jets Inspected After Crash WASHINGTON (AP) -- About one-third of the Navy's 600 F4 Phantom jet fighters have been inspected after the entire force was grounded for safety checks, the Navy Thursday said. The grounding was disclosed five days after it was ordered following investigation of an F4 crash blamed on malfunction of part of the control system. There was no explanation for the delay in making the grounding public. The Navy said 205 Phantoms have been inspected and that 54 were found to be defective. The Phantoms will be re-turned to flying from aircraft carriers and ground bases around the world as each is inspected and cleared, a Navy spokesman said. RADAR DEMO The precautionary grounding resulted from an F4 crash April 9 into the Atlantic Ocean off Cape Hatteras, N.C. The crew bailed out safely, the Navy said. The Navy statement said investigation of that crash, conducted after the wreckage was fished out of the ocean, revealed a failure in the tail-flap section. === Page 23 of 24 Dr. Sprinkle June 29, 1976..........TO MY SCIENTISTS..........Drs. Targ and Putoff; Dr. Hynek; Dr. Fogel; Dr. Sprinkle...a message straight from the UFO intelligences (SIs) that I have worked for and with for ten years. Last night...the SIs communicated with me. They instructed me to write to you scientists a "tough, hard, mean letter"...to pass on to government agency connections, which they say you have. Fun and games...are over now. First, I personally would not send this letter. It would have to come from the SIs. Because this letter...might stop me from getting to Yucatan. But...the SIs have infinite intelligence...mine is very finite...so I will do as instructed. Let's take it from the top. For ten years...I have been demonstrating one miracle after another, and documenting it solidly. (The miracles caused by the UFO Connection.) The scientists...and the United States government agencies...know this. Let's not keep on being coy and playing games about it. Either I am, or I am not, a miracle-worker through the SI connection. If I am...then the United States government should consider me more priceless than "all the gold in China". If I am not...then no concern need be paid to this message from the SIs. It's as simple as all that. IF I HAVE DONE MY MIRACLES...(and the government agencies know damn well I have)...then the U.S. should be supporting me; giving me funds with which to live, and to proceed. Obviously I cannot do everyday job and do my work for the SIs. I haven't the energy for that. Anyway, the SIs will not allow me to deviate and go into make-a-living job. Because they have looked for ages...for me...finally found me...and now need my help to try and save what is left of the human race, and modern civilization. In 1965 they had me go to the CIA and NASA and ask for a hundred thousand...to fund me through what was to come in my work for them. Both CIA and NASA turned me down. Since then NASA was nigh-well been wiped out...and CIA, at this point...well, if you've been reading the papers and Newsweek...you know what condition CIA is in. Rosenbloom wouldn't listen to me...and he had to trade the Baltimore Colts away to escape from ruination. The Virginia Squires wouldn't listen to me, and they are now extinct. My picture at present...although I have accomplished over 300 miracles and have more power, literally (through the SIs and my Egyptian Connection) than all of the military forces of all the countries of the world combined...I am broke; in debt thousands of dollars; living in a broken down house infested with black-widow spiders; and my car is broken down; and no money is coming in, to speak of. Am scrambling just to keep my phone, electricity, water and rent from being turned off. Compare this...with the picture the SIs have for me...they want me to be their human Ambassador to the United Nations, to represent them. They have proved it, through the miracles...so that is not so funny. I have demonstrated time and time and time and time again...that I am no kook or crackpot. Our present Secretary of State, Ambassadors, President, Vice President, ad nauseum, have demonstrated no capabilities such as mine. So why should it be ridiculous that I represent the SIs to a world of humans? At any rate...for several years the SIs have been wanting to erase the present formula for the human race on the World Blackboard...and begin building a new formula. I, alone...have talked them out of it...so far. But their patience, and mine, has come to a complete end. What I need: a hundred thousand in cash, tax-free, with which to travel the world and do what the SIs want to help the human race. A safe-house deep in the forest somewhere...both for my safety and that of my family...with appropriate safeguards around that house. If you think that silly...think of this. Our President is so protected...but if he is killed by some idiot, then === Page 24 of 24 another person will take his place as president. BUT I CANNOT BE REPLACED WITH THE UFO ENTITIES...THE SIs! And just think for a moment...if we are comparing me with Ford...can Ford control the City of Chicago? The country of France? The State of California? Can he stop an erupting volcano? Can he guide hurricanes? I have done all of these things, through my UFO connection...as the government agencies damn well know...and the very thought of Ford, or anyone else, for that matter, doing it...is ridiculous. IN SHORT...THIS HUMAN BEING, OF ALL THE HUMAN BEINGS IN AMERICA, IS PRICELESS AND CANNOT BE REPLACED. And yet, I have to live like a bum. If you don't believe it...come to my house and I will show you. Meanwhile the Congressmen pay their mistresses $14,000 a year or even more (I wish I had that, then my family could begin living.) Basketball and football stars are paid a million a year....Barbara Walters, a broadcaster, gets a million a year. YET NONE OF THEM COULD EVEN BEGIN TO COMPARE WITH WHAT I AM, WHAT I DO, OR WHAT I AM TRYING TO GET DONE. Well, the SIs, and myself, are sick of it. This is the end of the road. Right now. If that is the way this government, and this country wants it...okay. This is no ultimatum letter. From this point on...the SIs will start the tape again...as they had it running before I interfered and begged them to stop it temporarily...and they'll let the tape run out. I realize that I will go down...my family will, too...and so will the rest of the United States. But it has not been my choice. It has been the choice of the United States government...notified in advance for over ten years...but done nothing. Now let me "make one thing perfectly clear". If you tend to take this letter lightly, then you are a fool. This letter...is the equivalent...of a 100 hundred nuclear missiles...hitting the United States. If you laugh...and do not believe me...then wait.

I know this is not within your activity or frame of reference...but I think that I am very valuable to science...and worth salvaging. Have just returned from Egypt...discovered the key to the pyramids, and how to use the key..(talking about psi-force and parapsychological usage there.) Had a nice visit with Dr. Ali, at Sakara. On the way back, on the plane...showed the stewardesses a Saga magazine showing my face and a plane being struck by lightning in the sky. On the page it said "Tornado Winds Rip Area." (See enclosed) What happened? The plane ahead of ours was struck by lightning at Kennedy Airport...and there were tornado winds ripping the area (wind shear...just like). I can't do the tapes and the voluminous typed report...until I get out of this emergency status. And if I do not get out of it, gentlemen...you will have lost a valuable, if eccentric contact in the psi-force/UFO field. Best to you.... Ted Owens (PK MAN) === Page 2 of 20 July 23, 1975 SCIENTISTS.......... In this file you will find some strange documentation re the Kennedy airplane crash. I was returning from Egypt, from Cairo via Rome... and showing my Saga magazine writeups to the stewardesses and others... particularly the page where the artist has my face looking up into the sky... where an airplane is being struck by lightning... and on the page are the words "Tornado Winds Rip Area." Then my plane began its approach to Kennedy Airport and the pilot told everyone to buckle seatbelts for landing. But the plane, going down, veered off... circled over the ocean... went to another airport for a while... then returned to Kennedy and landed. When I went through customs the customs officer looked at my flight ticket... said, "You are lucky to be here. You know that, don't you?" I asked what he meant... and he told me that the plane ahead of ours had been struck by lightning; had crashed. Words to that effect. All of the action, move by odd move, is on my "crash" tape. I made tapes of every move and action of my trip to Egypt, and inside the secret rooms of the pyramids... and what I discovered there. And I discovered secrets certainly not known to modern men. (While in Cairo a prominent Egyptian scientist sought me out... and we had quite a visit together! It is on the tapes.) I have only made one duplicate set of the Egyptian tapes... and anyone wanting them will have to contribute $200 or more to my work and research. It took me a full week to make Millie's tapes for her. On the tapes... is a recital of agents following me about, checking on me... even "tailing" me out into the Nile River! Also on the tapes: when I read about the two Englishmen who were slated to be shot by firing squads by President Amin... I contacted the British Embassy... who sent their man over to me... and I told him that I would use my powers to save the two men, and get them released. At that time Amin was adamant about it. By this date they have both been released. Sure... the British Government took steps... but my powers work in a thousand ways. The other material is self-explanatory. There were so many military plane crashes IN THIS AREA that the government grounded those type of planes everywhere. It was caused by my radar demonstration of some time ago. The power is still very active here. Also... the SI's and I are concentrating on eliminating bad leaders around the world. Indira Ghandi is one... and she's on her way out. Amin is another... he'll go. Mrs. Peron is another... she'll go. And so on. Am in the midst of an emergency now... have to raise a bundle of money or will have to discontinue my work entirely... and then? But it is holding me up from typing the full report of my Egyptian trip, and my findings there. Too bad the government will not subsidize my work.

If I go broke and am wiped out...the United States will go broke and be wiped out financially. I want to make this clear. Perhaps you think that this is crazy thinking...but you should know me better than that by now. Look at my utterly accurate predictions, precog, over the years. I controlled a radar installation; I controlled a space flight some years ago...and so on and so on...all thoroughly and accurately documented. I told you what I would do to France, as a demonstration...then brought it to pass...and Newsweek and Time reported the utter chaos that France fell into as a result of my and the SI's demonstration. Soon you will receive a "crash tape" plus thorough documentation on the recent Kennedy Airport crash at New York. This was SI business...and it is deadly business. THEY mean business. They actually caused that crash, and for a major reason...and oddly, I can document it. And...it is documented with TWA also...also oddly. You will understand what I am talking about when I get the material to you. But what I am talking about now is...I predict utter catastrophe for the United States in time ahead..financially...if I am ruined because of inability to cover the bank and American Express. I.e., if I am ruined, then so will the United States be ruined. I do not think you will laugh at this, if you have paid any attention at all to my past predictions...and past demonstrations. Just wanted to get this on the record with you...before the deadline. Right now am having to hold up making tapes for you of my Egyptian finds, psi-force-wise, in the pyramids...am having to hold up my voluminous written report...until this vital emergency is over, one way or the other.

Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 48 Cape Charles, Va 23310 Owens === Page 4 of 20 Engine Suspect RADAR DEMO June 28, 1975 Va. Pilot # Oceana Jet Emergency Puts Fleet on Ground WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Navy grounded all 139 of its multimillion dollar F14 fighter planes Friday because of suspected engine problems. It was the second grounding of frontline Navy aircraft this week. The Navy Thursday disclosed that its entire fleet of 600 F4 Phantom jet fighters had been grounded for safety inspections after a crash caused by control failure. Most F4s have cleared inspection and are free to fly again, the Navy said. The grounding of the $18-million F14s, the Navy's newest combat aircraft, was ordered after an F14 made an emergency landing Tuesday at the Oceana Naval Air Station. "The symptoms in that incident had certain similarities to earlier incidents experienced with the F14," a Navy announcement said. Two F14s were lost in crashes in January and the F14 fleet was grounded at that time. Later that same month, an F14 flying from the carrier Enterprise in the Indian Ocean experienced engine flameouts, but managed to return safely to the carrier. The January incidents involving the F14 are believed traceable to engine difficulties, Navy officials have said. In announcing the new F14 grounding, the Navy said it will last "until the investigation of the recent incident (at Oceana) can be completed and fully assessed." In event of emergency, the Navy said, the F14s will fly. The two-man crew escaped harm in the emergency landing of the F14 at Oceana. At the time, the Navy said a muffled explosion was heard, and fire erupted from the port engine after the plane took off. "While it is too early to report any firm details as to the cause," the Navy said in its grounding announcement, "it appears that the damage occurred in the left engine fan and compressor section." "It has not yet been determined whether the damage was occasioned by a foreign object or by an engine malfunction." At Oceana Naval Air Station, Capt. D. L. Hancock, commander of Tactical Wings, Atlantic, was surprised to learn of the grounding. "It was the last thing I expected," he said. He declined, because of regulations, to specify the number of F14s at the station. "There are four Oceana-based squadrons with F14s on board. Beyond that, I am not at liberty to say." Hancock was, when he learned of the grounding, waiting for flag officers to inspect the plane that had trouble Tuesday. The Navy said 93 of the 433 F4s checked since they were grounded June 21 were found to be defective and in need of repair. The problem with the F4s centers in the tail-flap section of the control system. nas ordered corrections officials to have a 6/25/75 Va. Pilot # Flight Mishap By F14 ## Explosion, Fire Force Landing VIRGINIA BEACH--An F14 Tomcat jet made an emergency landing at Oceana Naval Air Station Tuesday after an explosion and fire in one of its engines. Spokesmen said there were no injuries. The F14 was from the Navy's Fighter Squadron 143. According to spokesmen, the jet took off from Oceana on a routine training flight about 12:30 p.m. There was a muffled explosion and an eruption of fire almost immediately after the plane became airborne, officials said. The jet reportedly was back on the ground within five minutes. The cause of the mishap is being investigated. The extent of damage to the $16-million jet hadn't been determined late Tuesday. Tomcats are new to the Navy and are said to be among the world's most sophisticated fighter planes. Va. Pilot 6/27/75 # 205 Jets Inspected After Crash WASHINGTON (AP) -- About one-third of the Navy's 600 F4 Phantom jet fighters have been inspected after the entire force was grounded for safety checks, the Navy Thursday said. The grounding was disclosed five days after it was ordered following investigation of an F4 crash blamed on malfunction of part of the control system. There was no explanation for the delay in making the grounding public. The Navy said 205 Phantoms have been inspected and that 54 were found to be defective. The Phantoms will be returned to flying from aircraft carriers and ground bases around the world as each is inspected and cleared, a Navy spokesman said. RADAR DEMO The precautionary grounding resulted from an F4 crash April 9 into the Atlantic Ocean off Cape Hatteras, N.C. The crew bailed out safely, the Navy said. The Navy statement said investigation of that crash, conducted after the wreckage was fished out of the ocean, revealed a failure in the tail-flap section. === Page 5 of 20 SEE MY PREDICTIONS FOR BE .DUY IN "WHAT THE SEERS PREDICT FOR 1971" BY STEIGER & SMITH. # Financial Plight of N.Y. # May Face Nation: Simon 6/27/75 Va. Pilot WASHINGTON (AP) - Treasury Secretary William E. Simon Thursday said that without sound fiscal management the nation could find itself in the same financial dilemma as New York City. "Whether we can prevent the nation from falling into the same plight as our greatest city is now the central issue before us," Simon told a House subcommittee. He said the philosophy of deficit spending in New York took root from "the seeds of fiscal irresponsibility" planted in Washington. "For too many years, like the City of New York, we have been trying to burn the candle at both ends, living off inheritance and mortgaging our future at the same time," the Treasury Secretary for Commerce, Consumer, and Monetary Affairs, which is investigating possible federal solutions to urban financial problems. "We're not avoiding it," Simon said. "But in the end, it is a matter of priorities. We must decide what we can afford and what we cannot." # Black Magic Blackballed # Kenya Asks for Soccer Sans-Witch See my work re pro football. Owen. NAIROBI, Lenka (UPI) - Witchcraft is dominating some sports in Kenya, worried officials say. Medicine men who claim they make the ball disappear or cast a spell on opposing players with animal or bird charms are especially active in soccer, officials note. They have announced a new campaign to clean up witchcraft and expel the sorcerers from the trainer's bench. Kenya football federation secretary Obare Asiko warned clubs, fans and witch doctors that anyone found guilty of practicing spells will be subject to criminal prosecution and also face the wrath of the Kenya Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. "Witchcraft should have no place in Kenya soccer," Asiko said. "The practice of witchcraft is unsettling our efforts to clean up soccer." An estimated 95 per cent of Kenya soccer clubs are thought to hire witch doctors or soothsayers to help them win matches. Competitions have been periodically marred by witchcraft-inspired riots. The witch doctors themselves - many of whom have become extremely rich - claim they can do such tricks as making the ball disappear altogether or swerve at a vital moment, prevent opposing players from scoring by freezing their bodies momentarily or even move the net itself. Recently, matches have been plagued by a series of witchcraft incidents involving birds and animals. At one game, fans nearly rioted when a pigeon was seen hovering near one goal area. The fans claimed it was inspired by witchcraft and prevented their team from scoring. The situation was saved only when police caught the bird and escorted it out of the stadium. At another game, fans claimed a dead cat found outside the stadium was also inspired by witchcraft. Last year officials threatened to disband one leading team altogether because players and officials allegedly consulted a witch doctor. But the sorcerers recently lost face in Kenya. In June, one official challenged Kenya's witch doctors with the promise that if they could beat a visiting English soccer club, Norwich City, the country's sports body would consider witchcraft a part of Kenya soccer and would pay witch doctors for two years. Norwich won every game. === Page 6 of 20 ASIA Mrs. Gandhi with backers after court decision: Seeing the verdict from the viewpoint of political necessity Yet another Pres, Prime Minister, etc, taken out. # Indira Gandhi in the Dock The crowd packed the sweltering chamber of the High Court of Allahabad as Judge Jagmohan Lal Sinha entered the room. The tall, balding justice carried a 254-page document with him, but one short sentence told the story. "The election of Respondent No. 1 to the Lok Sabha [the lower house of Parliament]," Sinha intoned, "is declared void." Respondent No. 1 was no ordinary defendant; she was Prime Minister Indira Gandhi who, the judge ruled, had violated Indian electoral law in her 1971 campaign for Parliament. The decision instantly pitched India into the most tangled constitutional crisis in its 28-year history as an independent nation--and could force Mrs. Gandhi to resign the prime ministership that she has held for nine years. Within minutes of the ruling, Mrs. Gandhi's lawyer obtained a twenty-day stay of the decision, and aides of the Prime Minister announced that she would appeal the verdict to India's Supreme Court. There was "no question" of her resigning her office, they said. Mrs. Gandhi's strategy clearly was to muster public and political support, and leaders of her ruling Congress Party as well as thousands of her countrymen rallied to her side. But the court's action dealt a serious blow to Mrs. Gandhi's prestige, and the very next day she suffered a second setback. In a by-election in the western coastal state of Gujarat, the once invincible Congress Party was upset by an opposition coalition. It was a rare display of cooperation on the part of India's usually feuding minority parties--and a personal slap at the Prime Minister, who had campaigned vigorously and implored Gujarat's voters to back Congress candidates as a show of support for her policies. The Prime Minister tried virtually everything to beat back the challenge of the six-party Janata (People's) Front in Gujarat. Despite broiling temperatures that often shot up to 110 degrees, she spent days campaigning, visiting each of the state's nineteen districts and speaking at 120 political meetings. She allotted $20 million in government relief funds for the drought-ravaged area and promised irrigation projects and special assistance to Gujarat's untouchables. Nothing worked. Angry students forced her to flee from several rallies by hurling stones and sandals at her, and when the voters went to the polls last week, their reaction was almost equally harsh. The Congress Party--which had won 140 state-assembly seats in the last election--picked up a dismal 75 while the united opposition won 87. The significance of the opposition victory went far beyond the borders of Gujarat, for the election results were almost certain to spur a similar combined opposition assault on the Congress Party in India's national elections early next year. 'Fanciful': Mrs. Gandhi's legal setback in Allahabad, her home town, was far more stinging. Socialist politician Raj Narain--whom she had swamped in the 1971 election by more than 112,000 votes--charged that Mrs. Gandhi had spent nearly twenty times the permissible $4,500 in her campaign, illegally traveled in Indian Air Force planes and used government officials to campaign for her. The Prime Minister struggled for nearly four years to have the case thrown out of court, but that failed and so did her attempts to avoid testifying. Judge Sinha refused Mrs. Gandhi's request to file a deposition, and she sat on the witness stand for six and a half hours denying everything and labeling the charges against her "highly exaggerated" and "fanciful." In the end, Sinha disagreed. Although he dismissed several of the charges, the judge found the Prime Minister guilty on two counts: illegally using local policemen to set up equipment at her campaign appearances and illegally employing a government official as a campaign worker. Chant: The verdict stunned India and split the nation into two camps. Mrs. Gandhi's opponents hailed the judge's ruling (on occasion comparing Sinha to Watergate Judge John Sirica) and scheduled a week of demonstrations to protest her refusal to resign from office. The pro-Gandhi bloc was just as vocal. Nearly 2,000 supporters thronged the street outside her home, sending up the odd chant: "We will face bullets and canes but will protect you." Hundreds of New Delhi shops were closed and buses canceled as expressions of support for the Prime Minister, and leaders of the Congress Party urged her to remain in office because of "the need of the country to have the benefit of your dynamic leader- Newsweek, June 23, 1975 15 === Page 7 of 20 U.S. 1-Plane Record; Lightning a Suspect 6/24/75 Va. Pilot 6/25/75 By ARTHUR EVERETT NEW YORK (AP) -- An Eastern Airlines 727 jetliner coming in for a landing in a thunderstorm crashed and burned just short of Kennedy International Airport Tuesday. More than 100 people were killed in the crash, the worst single-plane disaster in the history of U.S. aviation. The plane, carrying 115 passengers and eight crew members, was a nonstop flight from New Orleans. At least two witnesses said they saw lightning strike the aircraft just before it tore through three landing-approach light stanchions and plow into an area of parkland north of the airport. En route to its resting place, the big airliner spun across heavily traveled Rockaway Boulevard and flipped upside down. The first doctor on the scene minutes later said: "It was full of smoke; people were screaming and yelling." The death toll eclipsed the loss of 95 lives in the Dec. 29, 1972, crash of an Eastern TriStar jetliner in the Everglades near Miami, previously the worst single-plane domestic air crash. The nation's worst air disaster involved the collision of a United Airlines DC8 and a Trans World Airlines Superconstellation above Staten Island in 1960. That crash claimed 134 lives. In the Kennedy crash, luggage, bodies, and debris from the shattered jetliner were scattered over a five-acre patch of undeveloped land. George Van Epps, in charge of an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board, was asked about reports that the plane was struck by lightning. "It's certainly something that will be considered in the investigation," he said. Epps said that at least two previous crashes in the 1960s were attributed to lightning, one of them a Pan American plane at Elkton, Md., and the other a TWA airliner in Rome. "Lightning hit the plane," said Paul Moran, a Nassau County police officer. "It tilted to the right and went about 20 more yards, then hit the ground." "I am almost positive the plane was hit by lightning," said Neal Rairden, 23, who was pumping gas at a nearby service station. The plane, Flight 66, was banking low on its approach to Kennedy at about 4:08 p.m., 23 minutes behind its scheduled 3:45 p.m. landing. One of the passengers, Egon Luftaas of Norway, badly burned in the crash, said at the Jamaica Hospital emergency room: "Going in for a landing, the pilot went too much to the left. You know, with one wing down, not two. Then there was an explosion. Everyone was flinging around. After that I only remember fire." From above the scene, a unit reported: "Debris scattered over a large area." The metropolitan rush hour traffic within sight of the fire. 719 2402646455 ISSUED BY TRANS WORLD AIRLINES, INC.

PRESIDENT IDI AMIN today postponed the execution of condemned Briton Denis Hills but insisted that only a personal visit by British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan could save his life. Within hours of the arrival of a British embassy carrying an appeal for clemency from the Queen, President Amin announced that Mr. Hills, a 61-year-old lecturer, would be shot on Monday - two days later than originally planned. (Cont. on page 4) === Page 12 of 20 # 'Time is running out' for 2 Britons warns Idi Amin Nairobi June 18 PRESIDENT IDI AMIN said in Kampala yesterday the door is still open for the British government to discuss the fate of two Britons facing execution. But the Ugandan leader warned "time is running out." Uganda Radio, monitored here, said President Amin was speaking at a meeting yesterday with the Acting British High Commissioner in Kampala, James Hennessy. The sentenced Britons are 61-year-old university lecturer Denis Hills, convicted of treason and already sentenced to death, and 36-year-old trader Stanley Smolen, who is accused of food hoarding, a capital offense. Mr. Hennessy handed to President Amin a signed letter from British Prime Minister Harold Wilson replying to a six-point ultimatum given by President Amin to Britain last week for the release of the two Britons, the Radio said. ## Deadline President Amin told Mr. Hennessy that British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan or Defence Minister Roy Mason should fly out for talks with him before his 10-day deadline for compliance with his ultimatum expires Saturday. Mr. Callaghan has already indicated in the House of Commons his willingness to visit Kampala for talks -- but said he would undertake such a mission only "if humanity prevails" in the cases of the two Britons. This was taken to mean the death sentences would have to be rescinded before he visited Uganda. ## Delegation President Amin said whoever came to Uganda must be accompanied by a military delegation to discuss Uganda's requirements of spare parts for British-supplied armaments. This was one of President Amin's six conditions. The others included the cessation of all "anti-Uganda propaganda" by Britain and in the British press and the return of all Ugandan exiles living in Britain. President Amin said his ruling Defence Council was making arrangements on when and where to implement the death sentence on Mr. Hills, who was ordered to face a firing squad by a five-man military tribunal last Wednesday. He was accused of referring to President Amin in a manuscript as "a village tyrant." -- AP # ONE BRITON ACQUITTED IN UGANDA Nairobi June 19 BRITISH businessman Stanley Smolen, who was facing a possible death penalty in Uganda on a hoarding charge, was acquitted today, Radio Uganda reported. The radio said that Mr. Smolen had been acquitted of all charges by a Uganda military tribunal. Mr. Smolen had pleaded not guilty to hoarding cooking oil and soap, an offence which normally calls for a prison sentence. But President Idi Amin had warned that Mr. Smolen could have a firing squad if found guilty. (Cont. on page 2) # ONE BRITON ACQUITTED IN UGANDA (Cont. from page 1) After being acquitted, Smolen, 38, was received by President Amin, who congratulated him and told him that it was now clear that Uganda justice was fair and not a fake, the radio said. Smolen, who was allowed to go free as soon as he was acquitted, thanked the General for his kindness, the radio said. -- Reuter Another Briton, 61-year-old lecturer Denis Hills, faced execution by firing squad this weekend following his conviction on a treason charge on June 11. In London, a British Foreign Office spokesman welcomed the news of Smolen's acquittal. He said: "We are glad to hear this news. We hope that clemency will now be shown to Mr. Hills." British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan has said he would be prepared to visit Uganda for talks with President Amin if the two Britons were treated humanely. After the news of Smolen's acquittal was announced, Uganda Radio said that the Deputy Police Superintendent who arrested Mr. Smolen has now been arrested himself for misinformation the military tribunal and if found guilty, would be executed by firing squad. -- Reuter EGYPTIAN GAZETTE 6/20/75 === Page 13 of 20 The Lunatic Tyrant of Uganda Va Pilot 6/26/75 If Adolf Hitler had been created by Evelyn Waugh, the hybrid would be very like General Idi Amin, the lunatic tyrant of Uganda. But General Amin cannot be dismissed as a figure of fun: the crisis that he has precipitated between Britain and Uganda is too serious for that. Denis Cecil Hills, a British citizen and lecturer, is now scheduled to be executed July 4 for making disparaging remarks about General Amin in a book that remains unpublished. Mr. Hills, 61, characterized General Amin in his manuscript as a "village tyrant." He was arrested, charged with treason, and condemned to die by a military tribunal in Uganda. The execution was postponed when two British representatives arrived in Uganda with a personal plea from Queen Elizabeth. But General Amin now says that Mr. Hills will not be spared unless British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan flies to Uganda to negotiate a political settlement. General Amin is demanding spare parts for British-made military equipment, the expulsion from Britain of refugees from Uganda, and the ending of "malicious propaganda" against Uganda. The British Foreign Office is maintaining a stiff upper lip; the British are not only concerned for the fate of Mr. Hills but the future of the 700 British citizens remaining in Uganda. General Amin obviously wants to humiliate the British for his own personal reasons. "I am only fierce to the British because I want these people to kneel down at my feet," he said in a speech delivered June 13 in the main square of Kampala, the capital of Uganda, and broadcast over the radio. It ought to be noted that the envoy from the Queen was Lieutenant General Sir Chandos Blair, who formerly served in the King's African Rifles in Uganda before the British colony was declared independent in 1962. General Amin was a sergeant under his command. General Blair was accompanied by Ian Graham, a retired army major who once was General Amin's battalion commander. According to Radio Uganda, the two British officers approached "on their knees" to beg that Mr. Hills be spared. But General Amin has since stated in a cablegram to the Queen that the British envoy behaved rudely and acted as if he were still General Amin's commanding officer, so the report seems untrue. In any event General Amin's anxiety to humiliate his old officers is a touch that a novelist -- Graham Greene, perhaps -- would understand. General Amin is a gaudy villain in the 19th Century tradition, an antagonist for the likes of Chinese Gordon or Lord Kitchener. In dealing with him 20th Century diplomacy is unsuitable. It's a shame that gunboats are out of style. Va. Pilot July 2, 1975 Amin Says Briton to Be Spared KINSHASA, Zaire (AP)--President Idi Amin of Uganda Tuesday said that he has decided to pardon Denis Hills, the British lecturer who was ordered to be shot by a firing squad on Friday for describing Amin as a village tyrant in an unpublished book. The national news agency Zaire Presse said Amin told a news conference he will respond favorably to a clemency request from President Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire because Hills' confession showed he was at the service of his mentors. He gave no indication of who the mentors were. The 61-year-old Hills, a resident of Uganda for 11 years, was convicted of high treason by a Ugandan military court. Amin, on a 48-hour visit to Zaire, said he planned to inform the British charge d'affaires in Kinshasa of his decision to spare Hills. Zaire Presse also quoted the Ugandan leader as saying he wants Mobutu to act as a mediator in all matters between himself and the British government. === Page 14 of 20 # Uganda decides fate of British lecturer today Nairobi, June 22. THE fate of British lecturer Denis Hills, under sentence of death by firing squad for treason, will be decided tomorrow by the Ugandan Defence Council, Uganda radio said today. The radio announced earlier that the execution of Mr Hills, set for tomorrow morning, had been postponed, after General Amin received an appeal from Queen Elizabeth delivered by Lieutenant-General sir Chandos Blair. Later the radio said the president, after spending much of today with General Blair and Major Iain Grahame, the Queen's other envoy, would brief the Defence Council tomorrow on a final decision on the Hills case. The radio quoted General Amin as saying it was up to the Defence Council, the supreme policy-making body in Uganda under the chairmanship of the President, to make the decision. The radio said that after the success of General Blair's visit to Uganda President Amin planned to send an envoy to London to start afresh the relationship between Britain and Uganda. All indications in Nairobi were that President Amin would recommend to the Defence Council that Mr Hills' life be spared, according to diplomatic sources. The envoys of Queen Elizabeth II, far from being humiliated, were treated as honoured guests of President Amin, British government officials said today. The officials were commenting on a statement broadcast by the Uganda government radio that the Queen's envoys, Lt Gen. Sir Chandos Blair and Maj Iain Grahame, had gone down on their knees to plead for the life of British teacher Dennis Hills. As a result of the plea, the radio said, President Amin postponed the execution of Hills set for tomorrow by firing squad on treason charges. British officials said Gen Blair and Major Grahame were received by President Amin yesterday at his home in Arua, 300 miles northwest of Nairobi. The home, they said, is a native-style thatched cottage with a doorway so low even Amin has practically to go on his knees to enter, Reuter and AP. # UGANDA: Kangaroo Court "He has done harm to his people... He has reimposed on Ugandans old habits of submission and servility that one hoped uhuru was eroding." The target of that broadside was none other than Uganda's President Idi Amin. And considering Amin's whimsical brutality, the criticism seemed temperate enough. The trouble was that the author of the remarks, British scholar Dennis Cecil Hills, lives inside the borders of Amin's kingdom. And when the Ugandan leader learned that, he ordered the 61-year-old Hills to stand trial for "treason" before a military court. Last week, Amin's court duly found Hills guilty. The sentence: death before a firing squad. Hills will be executed this week--unless Britain bows to an ultimatum from Amin which, among other things, demands the expulsion of anti-Amin Ugandans from Britain and the sale of military spare parts to his army. The British Government, which can scarcely afford to submit to such blackmail, has asked responsible African leaders to intercede with Amin. But there's no predicting Big Daddy's behavior. Late last week, in fact, Radio Uganda announced that another Briton might face the firing squad--this time for "hoarding." And if the spirit so moves Amin, there are 800 more British nationals living in Uganda whom he could use as pawns on his own political chessboard.

Done, Owens. # Briton Freed by Uganda KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) -- Denis Hills, who almost went before a firing squad for calling Ugandan President Idi Amin a village tyrant, was freed Thursday and flew home to England with British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan. The 61-year-old Hills, stepping aboard Callaghan's Royal Air Force plane with only a few possessions folded in a blanket, said he still loves Uganda. In freeing Hills, Amin declared his love for the British. Hills walked unannounced into Amin's command post home as the president was talking with Callaghan, who flew to Africa on a two-day mercy mission to try to patch up British-Ugandan relations and win Hills' release after Amin gave him a reprieve from execution. Standing beside Callaghan and Amin on the balcony of the house, Hills looked fit and untroubled despite three months in detention and his reported illness from cancer. "I am well. I am very happy," Hills said at Entebbe Airport, 20 miles away on Lake Victoria. "I would like to say how genuinely I have loved Uganda during my 12 years here and still do," he continued. "I am very sorry to be leaving Uganda. "But I will never forget its beauty, the kindness of its people, and my pleasure in teaching Ugandan students." Callaghan told newsmen after meeting with the mercurial Amin for 45 minutes that he is satisfied that more than 700 other Britons still living in Uganda are safe. He said top-level British and Ugandan officials will continue discussions to improve relations. Amin told newsmen he is "definitely pro-British" and wants to strengthen ties between Britain and its former colony. "I am not mad, as the British press has said," Amin declared. # Marine Flier Still Missing After Crash 6/10/75 NORFOLK -- A Marine Corps flier from Beaufort, S.C. was still missing late Wednesday after his F4 Phantom jet crashed shortly after taking off from the aircraft carrier Nimitz Tuesday. Capt. David E. Fritz, 32, a radar intercept officer assigned to Marine Fighter Squadron 333, ejected safely, a Navy spokesman said, but couldn't be located by rescue helicopters after the accident. Fritz's pilot, Capt. Eric Denkwalter, was rescued in good condition by a helicopter. The accident happened about 5:15 p.m. when the nuclear carrier was operating off the Virginia Capes. The destroyer Dale out of Mayport, Fla., is continuing the search. The Navy said it had no explanation for the crash. The aircraft had been among 600 Navy and Marine Corps Phantoms that had been grounded earlier this month after the crash of an F4. Tuesday, the Navy said that all the planes had been inspected for a defective control mechanism and were corrected or okayed for operations. Va.

Uganda Radio, monitored here, said President Amin was speaking at a meeting yesterday with the Acting British High Commissioner in Kampala, James Hennessy The sentenced Britons are 61-year-old university lecturer Denis Hills, convicted of treason and already sentenced to death, and 38-year-old trader Stanley Smolen, who is accused of food hoarding, a capital offense. Mr. Hennessy handed to President Amin a signed letter from British Prime Minister Harold Wilson replying to a six-point ultimatum given by President Amin to Britain last week for the release of the two Britons, the Radio said. ### Deadline President Amin told Mr. Hennessy that British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan or Defence Minister Roy Mason should fly out for talks with him before his 10-day deadline for compliance with his ultimatum expires Saturday. Mr Callaghan has already indicated in the House of Commons his willingness to visit Kampala for talks - but said he would undertake such a mission only "if humanity prevails" in the cases of the two Britons. This was taken to mean the death sentences would have to be rescinded before he visited Uganda ### Delegation President Amin said whoever came to Uganda must be accompanied by a military delegation to discuss Uganda's requirements of spare parts for British-supplied armaments. This was one of President Amin's six conditions. The others included the cessation of all "anti-Uganda propaganda" by Britain and in the British press and the return of all Ugandan exiles living in Britain. President Amin said his ruling Defence Council was making arrangements on when and where to implement the death sentence on Mr. Hills, who was ordered to face a firing squad by a five-man military tribunal last Wednesday. He was accused of referring to President Amin in a manuscript as "a village tyrant" - AP # ONE BRITON ACQUITTED IN UGANDA Nairobi June 19 BRITISH businessman Stanley Smolen, who was facing a possible death penalty in Uganda on a hoarding charge, was acquitted today, Radio Uganda reported. The radio said that Mr. Smolen had been acquitted of all charges by a Uganda military tribunal. Mr. Smolen had pleaded not guilty to hoarding cooking oil and soap, an offence which normally calls for a prison sentence. But President Idi Amin had warned that Mr. Smolen could have a firing squad if found guilty. (Cont. on page 2) # ONE BRITON ACQUITTED IN UGANDA (Cont. from page 1) After being acquitted, Smolen, 38, was received by President Amin, who congratulated him and told him that it was now clear that Uganda justice was fair and not a fake, the radio said. Smolen, who was allowed to go free as soon as he was acquitted, thanked the General for his kindness, the radio said. -Reuter Another Briton, 61-year-old lecturer Denis Hills, faced execution by firing squad this week-end following his conviction on a treason charge on June 11. In London, a British Foreign Office spokesman welcomed the news of Smolen's acquittal. He said: "We are glad to hear this news. We hope that clemency will now be shown to Mr. Hills." British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan has said he would be prepared to visit Uganda for talks with President Amin if the two Britons were treated humanely. After the news of Smolen's acquittal was announced, Uganda Radio said that the Deputy Police Superintendent who arrested Mr. Smolen has now been arrested himself for misinforming the military tribunal and if found guilty would be executed by firing squad. - Reuter EGYPTIAN GAZETTE 6/20/75 === Page 19 of 20 Uganda decides fate of British lecturer today Nairobi, June 22.

But General Amin cannot be dismissed as a figure of fun: the crisis that he has precipitated between Britain and Uganda is too serious for that. Denis Cecil Hills, a British citizen and lecturer, is now scheduled to be executed July 4 for making disparaging remarks about General Amin in a book that remains unpublished. Mr. Hills, 61, characterized General Amin in his manuscript as a "village tyrant." He was arrested, charged with treason, and condemned to die by a military tribunal in Uganda. The execution was postponed when two British representatives arrived in Uganda with a personal plea from Queen Elizabeth. But General Amin now says that Mr. Hills will not be spared unless British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan flies to Uganda to negotiate a political settlement. General Amin is demanding spare parts for British-made military equipment, the expulsion from Britain of refugees from Uganda, and the ending of "malicious propaganda" against Uganda. The British Foreign Office is maintaining a stiff upper lip; the British are not only concerned for the fate of Mr. Hills but the future of the 700 British citizens remaining in Uganda. General Amin obviously wants to humiliate the British for his own personal reasons. "I am only fierce to the British because I want these people to kneel down at my feet," he said in a speech delivered June 13 in the main square of Kampala, the capital of Uganda, and broadcast over the radio. It ought to be noted that the envoy from the Queen was Lieutenant General Sir Chandos Blair, who formerly served in the King's African Rifles in Uganda before the British colony was declared independent in 1962. General Amin was a sergeant under his command. General Blair was accompanied by Ian Graham, a retired army major who once was General Amin's battalion commander. According to Radio Uganda, the two British officers approached "on their knees" to beg that Mr. Hills be spared. But General Amin has since stated in a cablegram to the Queen that the British envoy behaved rudely and acted as if he were still General Amin's commanding officer, so the report seems untrue. In any event General Amin's anxiety to humiliate his old officers is a touch that a novelist - Graham Greene, perhaps - would understand. General Amin is a gaudy villain in the 19th Century tradition, an antagonist for the likes of Chinese Gordon or Lord Kitchener. In dealing with him 20th Century diplomacy is unsuitable. It's a shame that gunboats are out of style. Va. Pilot July 2, 1975 Amin Says Briton to Be Spared KINSHASA, Zaire (AP) - President Idi Amin of Uganda Tuesday said that he has decided to pardon Denis Hills, the British lecturer who was ordered to be shot by a firing squad on Friday for describing Amin as a village tyrant in an unpublished book.
