Dear Mr. Ted Owens&#13;
&#13;
On August 30, 1971 at 11:30 A.M. I was working on the deck of a ship loading lumber. I was knocked from the deck of the ship by a 4 ton load of lumber. The load of lumber struck me with such force that I landed on the dock rail 20 feet away and 20 feet down, then I bounced off the rail and struck the side of the ship, I bounced off the ship and landed another 20 feet down onto a log, I then fell off the log into the water and drowned, 15 minutes later my foreman jumped into the water, located me under the dock, pulled me out and restored my breathing.&#13;
&#13;
All my ribs were broken, my ribs punctured my lungs, liver, kidneys and spleen, my neck was broken, my collar bone and shoulder blade were broken, all the bones in my left hand were broken. I was only 5 days in a hospital bed. On the 6 day I walked up and down 6 flights of stairs in the hospital. I had a very bad head injuries that destroyed all feeling of pain. I never had any feeling of pain during my accident or after. I still have no pain. I need your help in communicating with U.F.O. Space intelligence. I have to find out why I was brought back from the dead and I would like to know why I am suffering no pain. I have always been a bad boy and very puzzled.&#13;
