Message To The American People...from the Saucer Intelligences (SI's) through The Rain Maker, Ted Owens...August 3, 1965
We are very happy that we are able to reach the ears of human beings, after trying for long long spaces of time. This human who is talking for us, we have been teaching for a year in your time, and now he knows much...soon he will know much more. He can do much. You must listen to him carefully, and protect him, for if you lose him you lose your link with us, and it is not known how long it may be until we find another human who can receive our thoughts, and send intelligence back to us, in just his way. You do not appreciate the difficulties involved. It would be as if you were trying to teach your earth animals how to talk, and suddenly you found one who could actually converse with you...and through this one animal you had an opportunity to discover the secrets of the animal kingdom. Through us you have the opportunity to discover the secrets of space, of far away places, of advanced technology, but better still...you have the opportunity of surviving, for as a race you are utterly doomed now, as you are flying (this in their words.) Many civilizations before you have so doomed themselves and destroyed themselves, and we were helpless to give them assistance and advice and powerful aid. Now for the first time in long space ages we are able, though a human's senses, to come to the aid of a good civilization and help it survive. But we can only do so if you listen, and pay attention. We are causing severe drought, with our machines in your skies, so that we can teach you a basic lesson...which is that our intelligence is far superior to that of earth intelligence. We can control earth people because we can control what you call weather. When, and not before, our earth human has been accepted by your government, and put to good use, then and only then will we release the drought conditions, and let rainfall come in abundance down onto your thirsty earth.

we will also add pestilence and sickness and what you call accidents; we will follow the structure of events which we used in the day of the human you know as Moses, as he strove against the ruler of the great country called Egypt. As we helped Moses in that day, so we shall help the human-friend we know now as Ted Owens, you call the Rain Maker. If it please him to think that...of course we make the rain for him, but what is the difference? so that you people of the earth will believe this message we send to you, and we do not expect you to believe it unless we show proof...listen carefully. From now on, in time ahead, we will lift the curtain of drought for a little, and let the thirsty earth have its moisture. we will give the precious rain where it is needed...for a time. Then, lest you think that it is a perchance, we will drop the curtain once more with our machines, and let the rays of the sun penetrate the bowels of the earth and dry up your rivers, your lakes, your plants...until you accept our human as our representative.
After you accept him, we have much work for him to do, for we do not speak your language, nor do we know too much, as we should, about your inner workings. It is through this human that we can learn; and it is through us, that you can learn. Even now, we send the meaning of our thoughts to him, and his brain translates through pictures and feelings into your English. It is good.
Beware lest you take too long to accept our human-friend, for then we must strike a hard blow at the country which spurns him...to punish your country as you would punish a child which persists in misbehaving. After your country has accepted our link with humans, and we are able to proceed in keeping earth humans from the time-old habit of erasing

the way it should be. We have no wish to rule you, or dictate to you... we only wish, as friends, to know you, and to teach you, and let you be happy. We are not of flesh and blood such as you. Our composition is that of your grasshopper, so that our bodies will compress and expand with spacework. We have not blood, but different chemicals inside ourselves. We are small, but have the ability to reverse our body-electricity at will, and this gives us strength to move and to carry great burdens; makes us very strong. Language difficulty makes it difficult for us to send a stream of highly technical information through our human-friend's mind for translation, since he is not a scientist, and must therefore translate as he understands. But for a beginning, it is good.
Please, therefore, listen to this human-friend, and accept him, for we wish to help your country, and no other on earth...in your time of trouble, so that you may then properly help the other countries on earth. At this part of time your country has the best philosophy, the best ideas, the best advances, for helping. We can do many many things that you have no dream of, to help you.
And may we ask you please be careful not to pursue our craft in your curiosity...not to attack us with your weapons, simply because we are not like yourselves. When our human-friend is in an area, please do not have planes overhead in that area, because you do not know it but we will have our own craft overhead...we have methods that make our craft so that your earth-eyes cannot see them, at times. Especially when we want it so. You ask, is there anything else, earth-friends... just that, we are happy, and excited, for you and your people, and for us. Be
