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, lightning 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 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.

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.

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."
