Gentlemen:&#13;
&#13;
Today...theSIs...UFO intelligences that I have worked with and for, many years... have told me to pass this information on to you.&#13;
&#13;
Because their wishes with regard to me, their representative to the human race... have not been honored...&#13;
&#13;
from this point on...it will be WAR between them...and the United States. There is no way...that the U.S. can win this war. My children and myself can be killed, of course, by secret government agencies. This will result only in total wipe-out of the United States. This is the promise of the UFOs.&#13;
&#13;
Specifically, what do I mean by "war"?  &#13;
The stock market will fail.  &#13;
MORE Drought and fires will sweep the country.  &#13;
Storms and blizzards and bad weather will punish the country.  &#13;
Key people will EXPIRE FROM ILLNESSES.  &#13;
Everything...connected with the United States...will fail; policies, etc.&#13;
&#13;
Water will become non-existent. Air will become foul. Fish and other water-connected creatures, will be wiped out. Trees will die; and forests will die. Animal life will die.&#13;
&#13;
The United States...will slowly...go down the drain; visibly and dramatically.&#13;
&#13;
Unless and until...Ted Owens (PK Man) becomes the UFO ambassador to the United States...and receives the lodge and $500,000 heretofore mentioned to Jeffrey Mishlove in San Francisco...all hell will break loose onto the United States and will not cease until Ted Owens and his children are taken care of, as mentioned above...whereupon he can help the UFOs correct the condition upon the United States.&#13;
&#13;
There is no other way. The United States...will sink or fall as a result of this report.&#13;

# Big phone outage could last 3 days&#13;
&#13;
## Drilling error silences up to 20,000 units&#13;
&#13;
* How S.F. businesses coped. Page 3&#13;
&#13;
By Larry D. Hatfield&#13;
&#13;
As many as 20,000 telephones, including those of many of The City's biggest businesses, were knocked out of service in the Financial District and South of Market last night when excavation workers accidentally sliced through some phone cables.&#13;
&#13;
Phone service will not be fully restored for at least three days, according to Pacific Telephone press spokesman Jack Angius. He said the company is attempting to provide emergency service to the affected businesses.&#13;
&#13;
The brunt of the outage was centered in the Market and Montgomery streets area but Angius said some trunk circuits were also damaged and there are intermittent service interruptions in the Mission District, Oakland and the Peninsula.&#13;
&#13;
Among major firms suffering complete or partial service interruptions were: Southern Pacific; Wells Fargo; Cooper and Lybrand; Merrill Lynch; California Medical Association; Pillsbury, Madison &amp; Sutro; Schyabacher-Frey; Crown Zellerbach; Standard Oil; Crocker Bank; Bank of America and Foremost-McKesson.&#13;
&#13;
The service interruption also prevented the Examiner from receiving complete stocks and other tables for today's early editions.&#13;
&#13;
A spokesman for the Pacific Stock Exchange said the outage did not affect the exchange's operations although several brokerage houses were having problems.&#13;
&#13;
The accident occurred at 8:45 p.m. as workers for a soil sample company were taking core samples with a five-inch auger in front of 140 Montgomery St. in the heart of the Financial District.&#13;
&#13;
The workers were with Pitcher Drilling of South San Francisco, a subcontractor for Harding Lawson Associates, which was doing foundation engineering on a project there.&#13;

### Fires Rage In Western States&#13;

# Blazes in California Remain Unchecked&#13;
&#13;
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Fire raging through remote wildernesses near the Big Sur resort area blistered 35,000 acres 150 miles south of here Friday, imperiling prime watersheds needed for recovery from California's two-year drought.&#13;
&#13;
Meanwhile, 2,000 firefighters continued to battle 300 fires that were touched off across northern California Monday and Tuesday by wild storms of lightning. Officials said the total area blackened by the fires exceeded 100,000 acres.&#13;
&#13;
Many of the fires -- one a 20,000-acre inferno -- were speeding through timber stands in the northern third of California. Bill Powers, U.S. Forest Service information officer, estimated damage to timber alone could reach $700 million.&#13;
&#13;
The Big Sur fire in the Los Padres National Forest started as two separate blazes that merged Thursday afternoon in steep, rough terrain despite efforts of 2,700 firefighters.&#13;
&#13;
Kathy Ross, fire information officer at the U.S. Forest Service, said damage to watersheds caused by the Los Padres blaze has reached $70 million.&#13;
&#13;
The watersheds serve 20,000 residents of the Carmel Valley, recreation facilities at Big Sur, and agricultural interest in the fertile Salinas Valley.&#13;
&#13;
The Forest Service and the California Dept. of Forestry gave this rundown of other major fires in the state:&#13;
&#13;
In the Modoc-Lassen area in northeastern California, the Scarface fire near Canby burned through 20,000 acres, much of it timberland.&#13;
&#13;
About 10 miles southeast of Bieber, up to 8,000 acres were blackened by the Meyers Flat fire. South of the town, the Gerick fire had devastated 3,000 acres.&#13;
&#13;
In Idaho, the Boise Interagency Fire Center said Friday that firefighters were battling blazes covering 140,000 acres in the western United States and more than 1 million acres in Alaska.&#13;
&#13;
Lightning strikes coupled with warm, dry weather continued to hamper fire suppression efforts in Alaska, California, Washington, Oregon and Colorado, the agency said.&#13;
&#13;
The fire center, which is operated by the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, said Friday that no relief is expected in weather conditions for at least 72 hours.&#13;
&#13;
Close to 7,000 firefighters have been dispatched to the various fires. Supplies are considered adequate, but transporting them to some areas is posing a problem.&#13;
&#13;
In addition to the California fires, the agency noted that 20 new fires broke out Thursday night in the Wenatchee National Forest in Washington state.&#13;
&#13;
In Oregon, a fire 15 miles southeast of Bly covered 5,000 acres, while a fire in northeastern Colorado burned 1,400 acres.&#13;
&#13;
In Shasta Trinity National Forest two fires -- Pondosa and Horrs Corner -- swept through a total of 22,000 acres.&#13;
&#13;
A 3,000-acre timber fire near Eagle Lake was threatening 50 to 75 homes in the Forest Lakes subdivision outside of Susanville.&#13;
&#13;
In Plumas National Forest, more than 700 men were fighting a 1,500-acre timber fire.&#13;
&#13;
In the south in Sequoia National Forest, nearly 3,000 acres of forestland were burning.&#13;
&#13;
Firefighters had formed a line around 75 per cent of the four-day blaze near Bonita Flat, northeast of Bakersfield in southern California. About 500 firefighters were battling the 2,700-acre blaze.&#13;
&#13;
## More Than 600 Fires Burn In California&#13;
&#13;
LOS ANGELES -- More than 600 lightning-sparked fires crackled through hot, dry California brush and timberland Wednesday, taxing the state's exhausted army of firefighters.&#13;
&#13;
A two-day electrical storm a lot of lightning but little rain -- scattered fires up and down the state, which was already dangerously dry from a two-year drought.&#13;
&#13;
By Wednesday, officials were able to dispatch firemen only to the biggest blazes, and U.S. Forest Service crews were called in from other states.&#13;
&#13;
Gary Buzzini of the California Department of Forestry estimated 400 fires, most of them small, were burning in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, which runs along the state's eastern border, -- and many were unmanned.&#13;

August 15, 1977&#13;
&#13;
About July 16, 17, I phoned Millie long distance from Guerneville...and instructed her, as my secretary in absentia...to send out certain facts as I knew them...to the scientists, including yourself as a scientist. That the SIs were going to attack California and the U.S. with fires galore, etc.&#13;
&#13;
Now, it was an absolute fact that government agents had previously crawled all over me in Norfolk and Cape Charles. She knew that; I knew that. Secret Service, FBI, you name it. They had been to my office; my home; etc. In teams yet. She and I both knew that I was under constant surveillance, no matter where I went. She and I both knew that in San Francisco, while trying to get my true story out to the American people re the UFO control of the United States at the present time...I was under surveillance...thus simple logic dictated that if I were rejected there, which I was...and my message stopped cold there, which it was...then the government agents must have done it or had something to do with it. (A terrible error on the government's part...as witness the more than 600 fires that have struck California since my July 17 letter...the worst fire attacks in 50 years!) The government should have known that, in the light of my terrific accuracy as a psychic...disregarding your "partial" crack in your mad letter to Millie...I knew what I was talking about, especially when I would personally go to the West Coast to deliver the message. I am good, perhaps the very best that there is...no matter what you think. And when I say all hell will break loose, and fires will attack...somebody had better believe it. It has now happened...just as I said that it would happen. And...not "partially."&#13;
&#13;
All of this was in her mind (a most intelligent mind, I might add) when she wrote re my info phoned in to her...re the "government agents" remark. If you think that the government agencies are not tracking me, surveilling me, or trying to manipulate me...you would be terribly naive (sp). Her error...and one that I personally apologize for...was in tying the government agencies to Jeffrey. This was out-of-bounds...and as soon as she told me what she'd said I asked her please to correct the matter and apologize to you. When I phoned in what to tell the scientists (not verbatim, but in general...and she carried it out accurately except for the one slip with regard to you) at no time did I mention government agents connected with Mishlove.&#13;
&#13;
Now that should clear the air about the entire tempest in a teapot. Next time you receive a message written by a secretary...which might seem out of character with regard to myself...I respectfully suggest that you slow down long enough to check with me personally with regard to it. I made no "unfortunate mistake" (p. 2 of your letter to Millie); I made no "attack" on you whatsoever. I do not rely upon my "psychic abilities" to determine "untrue things about you." Millie herself made that error, and she has since apologized for it...as I apologize for the misunderstanding. This letter should set the matter straight.&#13;
&#13;
Whether I am broke or struggling...or flush and set up in style...makes no difference whatsoever, Jeffrey. I am still PK Man, Owens...with powers far exceeding any other human being on earth...whether you believe that or not. And I do tend to prove it...hundreds of times...and "partial" is an extremely small percentage of the results of my work.&#13;
&#13;
Your kindness in behalf of myself...has been most generous and thoughtful...and I acknowledge it in full, and thank you for it. My personal debt to you for $300 has been delayed in repayment, due to circumstances beyond my control entirely. But it will be repaid, with interest. Meanwhile, whether I am poor financially or wealthy...it has no effect upon my dynamic effectiveness with regard to the current phenomenon going on. Whether you have no more motivation whatsoever to continue to work in my behalf...is entirely up to you.&#13;

Dear Ted,&#13;
&#13;
I've only just been able to catch up on correspondence after the conference due to various pressures.&#13;
&#13;
Let me first express our great appreciation that you were able through very good offices to get to the conference and deliver your address. I was sorry that you couldn't stay around for other participation at what was another acknowledged success, and I was also sorry to have missed you before you left, due to having to go across to the other side of the campus urgently.&#13;
&#13;
The other two people depicted on the enclosed colour prints are Walter von Lucadou (University of Freiburg, Dept. of Physics) talking on quantum mechanics, and Prof. Brian Josephson, of Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge and winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics. Lucadou has the beard.&#13;
&#13;
Glennis Dore said you wanted a stack of spare programmes which I'll send you presently.&#13;
&#13;
Write and let me know more about your feeling that U.S. govt. agencies are interested in your activities.&#13;
&#13;
Also I'd be pleased if you can make any suggestions how you might be able to help boost our parascience programme.&#13;
&#13;
Can you let me have a manuscript for publication of your description given at the conference?&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely,  &#13;

Gentlemen:&#13;
&#13;
In the previous correspondence I notified the scientists that my two sons and I had seen BigFoot...three of them in northern California. Now...Afterwards I noticed little Teddy's hands. The skin has been surgically removed from his fingers! An amazingly...skillfully...performed operation by the "S.I.'s" Reminds me of the skillful surgery performed on the cattle in the Mid-west.&#13;
&#13;
On the "S.I.'s" request...I am travelling by auto throughout the United States to secure first hand information on the severity of the drought. Farming lands are dried...hard...and caked...dreadful condition! The lakes and rivers are completely dried-up in some areas and in other places water is at an extreme low level. My heart is saddened by these conditions of our land.&#13;
&#13;
The "S.I.'s" communicate another fabulous and astounding message!! I am physically travelling from state to state to match my E.M. (Electro-Magnetic) Power with each geographical area.&#13;
&#13;
Previously I have refused to under-go Scientific hypnosis. I now change my mind. I will submit myself to scientific hypnosis to anyone who will pay me the fee of five-thousand dollars.&#13;
