Dr Sprinkle

Sept. 11, 1972

Dear Dr. Hynek:

Today I had my heartiest laugh in a long while. I received your "letter", unsigned, scribbled along the margins of my last letter. Well, some initials are there...I suppose it was you writing.

You know...I always accord you the dignity...of a regular letter, such as this one.

At any rate, we now begin at a new point in time. First...please understand...and inform anyone who should know...that I do not want the Inquiry prize money. I withdraw from it. Why? Because your suggestion angered me. The suggestion that I have the SI's appear in person for you at a meeting, to be photographed. This perhaps has to be the most ridiculous suggestion of all time.

Least of all will they allow any third parties, even Dr. Hynek, dictate rules and procedures to them. However, do not jump to any wrong conclusions at this point in the letter...they are going to give you a demonstration!

Before we get to that...I went to get to the part of your "letter" where you state (with relation to my past phenomena) "possibly a great case of precognition - but not necessarily cause and effect. How do you separate the two?"

It would seem obvious to me...that anyone, even a non-sophisticated highschool pupil... would be able to separate the two, given access to my files.

First of all...as Binder pointed out in one of the Sagn articles...how could I be simply precognitive...on now almost 400 cases and projects? Isn't this training the "precog" just a bit?

You should be familiar with the Apollo shot, last one. I called and told you I would give the astronauts fits, and try to knock out the power and communications. Well, I sent you the full file on it. I did exactly as I said I would do. Furthermore, you noted all the "first" freakish things that happened, ever...on space flights. How would my "simple precog" pick that up?

On the radar demonstration...which you have had ample opportunity to check out...along with the full file on it I sent you...I produced 25-50 UFO forms on the radar screen, plus spokes...which shouldn't have been on there, according to the radar expert with me. And I GOT THE STROBES ON PURPOSE, TELLING HIM THAT I WOULD TRY TO DO SO BY AFFECTING A POWER SURGE! How on earth...could you link up precognition with an applied mental power surge to produce multiple-strobes on a radar screen? Furthermore, I told the expert to watch the TV and papers...that my power, mental power, could possibly knock down planes and ships in the week or two following. FOUR MILITARY PLANES THEN CRASHED IN THE BAY AREA WITHIN FIVE DAYS. Precognition? Yeesy.

I asked him to get me on a radar screen...that I KNEW 25-50 UFO's would appear on it (that had no business being on from our VERY LOCATION); and finally, that I knew appearance at the radar installation...four planes would crash in five days! How ridiculous can you get?

(At this point let me say that I consider myself the greatest psychic in the entire history of the world...not on the basis of opinion, but on the basis of performance...so that I allow myself the leeway of being eccentric enough to speak straight and honestly, without fear of University retaliation, or U.S. Government retaliation, or anything else.)

In the Cleveland file...which I sent you...how do you explain that I outlined in advance... lightning attacks...and got lightning attacks! Does lightning, then, go along with the heat?

I hed thought lightning went with a different kind of weather. Also, if you will check with the weather people in Clemland ... then look at that List I sent you in advance ... you will see that I stated "60-90 mile-per-hour winde" (on the Nay 30 letter to you). Cleveland had such winds ... I just wasn't able to cover enough zeroxing cost to include it, There gare power blackouts there ... os I stipulated there would be, end all kinds of electrical disturbances ... as I stipulated there would be,
How you could make a precog asse ... out of this complicated, sophisticated psi-force attack on Cle velend? You could argue precog perhaps on one item, or two ... heat and power Heckouta ... but how precog could you get ... to go on end predict lightning attacks. wind storms, people acting crasily, and so forth (as outlined in the newspaper clips) ? that one single point ... my telling you in advance that I'd case people to sct crezily ... then it actually happening, with meny calls to City Hall ... well, you read the newsclip ... people scting absolutely nuttily. This would fit no precogni tien pattern I've ever heard of!
Do this ... make an offer of a million dollars to my psychic in the world ... who could precognitively state that people would set crasily (cell and report voices from UFO's; secret agents; etc., as from my file newsclip) in fny certein city in the world (I stipulated Cle wland, remember?) ... within 90 days ... and see if you ever hew to pay the million. I assure you, it is quite safe. Tell them also just for good measure to predict a lightning attack in that certain city; plus wind storms; plus side-walk buckling heat ... to go along with and qualify the "people acting erasily" part. Ha!
I have already told you ... the Si's gave me photographs of them, If you do not believe the photos you have, that I sent you ... that is no concern of mine, They are quito real; are fect, So why & you need another photograph? I tell you, I really resented your wording on this: "you could win it (the prize money) easily if at the time of our next panel meeting you could ouse a UFO apparition sufficiently strong and close to be photographed ... "
Why, certainly. Dr. Hynek ... und I could win the prize money quite easily if I produced an actuel UFQ in your meeting room. .. or perhaps medo it snow next July 4th in Buenos Aires, Argentina ...
You see, Dr. Hynek. .. I'm peculisy, end I guess a little touched. I consider my brains end knowledge and experience ... on a par with many PhD's and Dr. 's ... at the very least. And of course, if this were in fect true ... then you would treat me with a bit more dignity, and respect, I regret that I have no degree, and a Dr. before my name ... so that you could comfortably communicate with me as you would enother scientist, or even at least let's say ... a member of Monsa, which I an.
One more point on "how do you separate the two". Years ago ... when I wrote CIA a letter and told them that "Nature" had told me to write that it would affect the electromagnetic condition of the South Pole ... end get it into the newspapers in such a way that it would PROVE my connection with it, "Nature", and its reality. Afterward .... UFO appeared over two South Pole scientific expeditions, affected their IM apparatus, and hovered for 45 minutes for pictures to be taken, Now, how in hell could I have pulled THAT out of a precogni tive has? Call Ed Ames, in Brewer. Naine ... I told him I'd communicate with a UFO and esk it to sppeer within two weke over Brewer-Bangor, and be reported in the newspapers to validate it. It appeared within e week, Was seen and reported on the front page of the Brewer newspapers. To call such a happening "precognition" would be absurd!
Enough. Now to get back to what I am going to do. (Incidentally ... I was going to thow you TWO miracles, some time teck ... but couldn't get you or Dr. Fegel ly phone ... so I went Pheed, being too angered to write ... and confused Spassky's mind. Then I decided to switch things areund for the second miracle ... and instead of afning PK at the Russian athletes, I simed at the U.S. athletes. The results were fantastic. Of course I have no documentation on this ... but what difference does is make anyway? I cm't get anywhere with the ton of documentation that I do have. And I might say that the Olympics are
