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

Dear Ted
Tried to call you last nite and again this morning but no luck. I wanted to suggest that you take it up with the Dis to control the Reno Balls for you for a $25,000 win. One dollar and 10 correct numbers wins the money or control the dice. Surely this wouldn't be against anyone's ethics in Nevada at least.
Had a very good nites sleep even though awakened once by the inter-com phone.
Your Tues demonstration for me to produce rain had its results this morning before noon and right now it looks like some more. The rain poured, lightning and a big temperature drop. Then cleared up but now some more angry (sm) clouds are overhead and another temperature drop. The lightning knocked out all T.V. channels on the cable except the Chico station and channel 7 from Redding.
This mail arrived this morning later mail. I will forward with instructions to hold for you at Cape Charles.
Here comes the thunder again.
Yesterday after the paper arrived a high school student pretty hep to you called and wanted to interview you for an article in the school paper or for a class project.

This was Fri, May 4 1973 in storm referred to in affidavit.
LIGHTNING STRIKES
Lightning striking once at 11:12 a.m. yesterday was enough to cause a fire that resulted in an estimated $15,000 damage to the home and contents of the Gerald Davern residence, 1000 Eaton Road, Four Butte County fire units, once officer and the North Chico Volunteers responded to the call. No injuries were reported. (Photo by Rich Witesman)
NOTE: This was a direct affect caused by my demonstration to Mr. Al Bailey, several days earlier, of how to make a storm, complete with lightning attack. (See Mr. Bailey's affidavit, enclosed.)
