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!

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

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

documented record of 85 percent success in some 225 previous PK feats.

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)

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)

(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

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.
