TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:&#13;
&#13;
Ted Owens, who is known as "PK Man - The UFO Prophet", and is a member of Mensa, informed me by letter on Tuesday, October 23, 1973, that it was his intention to telepathically communicate with UFO's and ask them to appear within a 100 mile area of Cape Charles, Virginia, and show themselves to the police within that area. On October 25, 1973, two days later, a UFO appeared over the head of a policeman in Chase City, Virginia (within the specified 100 mile area) for 15 minutes, as described in the Richmond Times-Dispatch dated October 26, 1973.&#13;
&#13;
Thus, an example of the type of occurrence predicted in Mr. Owen's letter to me, written in advance of the occurrence, did take place.&#13;

# UFO Seen, Chase City Police Say&#13;
&#13;
By John Clement  &#13;
Times-Dispatch Staff Writer&#13;
&#13;
CHASE CITY -- Sam Huff, a policeman for the past seven years, said he watched an unidentified flying object for 15 minutes around 2 a.m. Thursday.&#13;
&#13;
Huff said Marion Owen, the Chase City Police radio dispatcher, first sighted the object after noticing an unusual light reflection on the window of the police station.&#13;
&#13;
Owen radioed Huff, who drove to the west side of town and parked on a railroad bridge, almost under the object, Huff said.&#13;
&#13;
Huff said the soundless object, fairly large, with a color that resembled a very bright star, hovered motionless over the town for about five minutes; then moved rapidly to the north, reversed direction and returned to a position over his head.&#13;
&#13;
It stayed motionless for another five minutes before heading rapidly in a westerly direction, he added.&#13;
&#13;
UFOs are probably taken a little more matter-of-factly in this area since two well-publicized and still unexplained sightings occurred in 1967 in nearby South Hill and Lunenburg County.&#13;
&#13;
In the South Hill incident, a warehouseman said, in April 1967 that he rounded a curve and encountered an object 12 feet in diameter, standing on three legs, that resembled an aluminum storage tank.&#13;
&#13;
The object suddenly left the ground in a burst of brilliant light, he reported.&#13;
&#13;
The blacktop street caught fire, and when police arrived on the scene the tar was still hot and smoking.&#13;
&#13;
Two months later, a rural Lunenburg County storekeeper said she was startled one night by a thundering roar.&#13;
&#13;
She looked out her bedroom window and saw a bright light which she described as so bright "you could see every leaf on the tree." That object also allegedly left burn marks in the highway.&#13;

Friday, Oct. 26, 1973....  &#13;
Dr. Max Fogel, Mensa, Philadelphia&#13;
&#13;
Dear Dr. Max:&#13;
&#13;
I am tickled pink...to be able to send you this electrifying documentation! First, because the UFO's (SI's) that I contacted telepathically with my special UFO brain... answered almost immediately...very next day, in fact...by appearing in the area I specified in my letter to you earlier plus showed themselves to the police, just as I specified...matter of fact, this UFO made SURE the message got over...by leaving the policeman and then RETURNING! (See newsclip.) Second, am tickled...because this couldn't happen to a nicer scientist than Dr. Max Fogel. As you well know, just a handful of the scientific community has guts enough to let it be known that they are in contact with PK Man...and only you...have guts enough to give me signed confirmations whenever I bring about a "miracle". (Dr. Hynek should dam well have sent me a signed, notarized confirm when I stopped that volcano in Sicily, but nope, he didn't.) So to me...you are "King of the Scientists"!&#13;
&#13;
Now, if any scientists that you know want to scoff at me, or your connection with me...simply show them the letters I sent to you last Tuesday and Wednesday... then show them this newsclipping!&#13;
&#13;
The SI's LIKE this idea...this experiment-demonstration I have set up...and they have lost no time in acting on it! I had thought perhaps they'd take weeks to show up, but they did it the very next day!&#13;
&#13;
So, it has begun!&#13;
&#13;
So, to briefly recap...I wrote to you last Tuesday and again Wednesday... telling you that I would communicate with my UFO's (that I have worked with and for 10 years) and ask them to appear within a 100 mile radius of where I live, the Eastern Shore...using this Cape Charles as the "bullseye". Furthermore, I told you I would tell the police and other responsible persons. Furthermore, I told you I would also telepathically contact the "UFO Monsters" of various kinds... and bring them, also, to this area. Furthermore, in time to come, I told you, I'd make this 100 mile area the "UFO capitol of the world" in essence. All right. Already one UFO has answered my call, and in no uncertain terms, as this Oct. 26 newsclip from the Richmond Times-Dispatch newspaper points out!&#13;

Dr. Max Fogel, Int'l Research Scientist, Mensa, Phila.&#13;
&#13;
Dear Dr. Max...just called your home and left message with Joy to pass on to you when you get home this evening. In August...I communicated with "Control"...the top UFO intelligence that I have worked with and for, for some time...and asked that SI UFO's "turn themselves on" all over the U.S. so that humans could see them; also to demonstrate phenomena. Since then they have done this. But of course...I cannot document that. It is, however, rock-ribbed proof...that I am indeed a link between the UFO's and the human race. Now what I propose to do is this. Am going to communicate again with Control...and ask it to "turn on" the UFO's in this entire Virginia area, so that all the people can see them; and to demonstrate phenomena here. Am talking about Eastern Virginia; the Tidewater area; the Chesapeake Bay area; the Eastern Shore Peninsula on which I live, etc. This demonstration will be to prove conclusively to the scientists studying my work...that my brain has been modified by these creatures in the past; that I am in telepathic communication with them; and that my unique situation is quite real indeed. Also that I am the most powerful human in the world...since I have the incredible other-dimensional powers of the UFO's to draw upon. All right...when the UFO's begin to appear here, will take out the newsclips and make up a Contact Letter to get out to you, later. Now it is on record...and this exciting experiment-demonstration begins!&#13;

Oct. 24, 1973...Wednesday  &#13;
Dr. Max Fogel, Mensa&#13;
&#13;
Dear Dr. Max...  &#13;
Yesterday I set up an experiment-demonstration...of my intent to produce UFO's in the skies and all around, here in the Chesapeake Bay area (100 mile radius, with "bullseye" of target this Eastern Shore Peninsula.) But after some thought...am going to improve upon, and enlarge, the scope of the demonstration! My contention is that the Big Foot, Moth Man, Loch Ness Monster...are SI creatures from another dimension...can pass between dimensions. So is...call them ALL here to the Chesapeake Bay area! In effect, this target area will be the scene for sightings of a Loch Ness Monster in the Bay...sightings of the Big Foot (Sasquatch)...sightings of the Moth Man -- as well as the flying saucers, cigar-craft, UFO lights, etc. It is my intent...to make this area the most UFO and monster-haunted area in the entire world! To do this am reaching out telepathically to bring them all here...TO STAY HERE. It will be "Halloween"...with spooks and goblins and UFO's galore! Gosh, it will be fascinating to see if I can pull off this "miracle"! Have no way of knowing the timing on this. Hours? Days? Weeks? Months? Since their "time" is different than ours...and they have time-windows, too, when they cannot get through...makes it tough. Am talking for appearance, now. Once here will "fix" them to stay in the area, just as the Loch Ness Monster has stayed there for ages. Beau, my boy, wants me to include the tiny 3-foot high critters...humanoid type...so will work at that also. Best.....&#13;

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:&#13;
&#13;
This is an accurate statement of fact, as requested from me by Ted Owens called "PK Man".&#13;
&#13;
Mr. Owens notified me on Sunday, November 4, 1973 that it was his intention to utilize his psychic powers to try to control the Washington - Pittsburgh professional football game which would take place the following day, on Monday, November 5, 1973. He stated that he would use his psychic ability to try to help the Pittsburgh Steelers win the game. On the following day, Monday, the Pittsburgh Steelers won the game.&#13;

Dear Ted,  &#13;
Your letter helped me see so much another thing.  &#13;
What is this  &#13;
my friend?&#13;
&#13;
November 15, 1973&#13;
&#13;
Another 'Stranger'  &#13;
Haunts Pascagoula&#13;
&#13;
PASCAGOULA, Miss. (Nov. 7. - (UPI) - Another Pascagoula fisherman has reported seeing a strange object while fishing at night on the Pascagoula River - but this time the thing was not flying, it was submerged in the murky waters.&#13;
&#13;
And the U.S. Coast Guard has confirmed the sighting.&#13;
&#13;
Raymond Ryan, Jr., said he spotted an underwater light following his boat Tuesday night and that repeated efforts to beat the thing away with an oar only made the light get dimmer.&#13;
&#13;
At first, he said, he decided not to tell anyone about the sighting. Much publicity has surrounded the reported sighting several weeks ago of a unidentified flying object in the same vicinity by two other Pascagoula fishermen who claim they were taken aboard the craft.&#13;
&#13;
But Ryan said he finally summoned his twin brother, Rayme Ryan, and the two of them went back to the brackish waters and poked at the light with oars again.&#13;
&#13;
The Coast Guard station in New Orleans reported Wednesday that the Ryan brothers went to Coast Guard officials in Pascagoula.&#13;
&#13;
"At 9:40 p.m. the Coast Guard at Pascagoula dispatched a 16-foot boat to investigate the object," a spokesman said.&#13;
&#13;
"The object was located in four to six feet of water, moving at 4 to 6 knots," the Coast Guard report said.&#13;
&#13;
The officers named the object "an unidentified submerged illuminating object," and described it as "an amber beam, 4 to 6 inches in diameter, attached to a bright metal object."&#13;
&#13;
Coast Guardsmen said they tried to retrieve the USIO, but "it would appear to go out and move away and then reappear."&#13;
&#13;
The report said the USIO traveled on several different courses during the hour they had it under surveillance.&#13;
&#13;
The spokesman said the Ryan brothers were "sober and concerned" when they reported the light.&#13;
&#13;
The Coast Guard in New Orleans said it would forward the USIO report to headquarters in Washington.&#13;
&#13;
SCIENTISTS....&#13;
&#13;
This communication...is MOST important!&#13;
&#13;
On Oct. 24, 1973, I wrote to Dr. Max Fogel (and other scientists) that I would, intended to, produce the UFO "monsters" or "creatures" so that they would be observed, and specified an area covering 100 miles round about Cape Charles, Virginia, which would be the "bullseye" of the target area for these creatures to appear.&#13;
&#13;
Now observe this newsclipping, sent me by a friend today. It is dated November 7, 1973...weeks after my communication to Dr. Fogel.&#13;
&#13;
Such a "Loch Ness Monster" or "thing" was seen underwater in Pascagoula, Mississippi! Not in this area, true...but I feel that it is highly significant that "it" has appeared at all...following my communication to Dr. Fogel, followed by my telepathing to the UFO's and their creatures.&#13;
&#13;
To my knowledge this is the FIRST sighting of such an "unidentified submerged illuminating object", or USIO...and as I say, it is most significant that it appeared AFTER my written communication to Dr. Fogel and other scientists that it was my INTENT to produce same!&#13;
&#13;
Regardless of the fact that it was out of the 100 mile area. It is a beginning!&#13;
&#13;

Monday, November 19, 1973&#13;
&#13;
TOO ALL CONTACTS AND SCIENTISTS...&#13;
&#13;
I think...that a word is in order here, with regard to the signed statements of fact by Dr. Max Fogel.&#13;
&#13;
You will note that, contained in this entire file, there are two such signed statements of fact by Dr. Max Fogel, Director of Science Research for Mensa.&#13;
&#13;
Now, Dr. Fogel is a scientist, and a darned good one. Or he would not be what he is, and where he is. His reputation is as precious to him as any other scientist's reputation is to them.&#13;
&#13;
Through the years...I have caused miracles to happen...having first notified certain scientists well in advance, specifically...that I was going to cause the miracles, and exactly how. But...these scientists were fearful of having their name and reputation connected with a "UFO person" such as myself, thus they would not give me the signed statement of fact that I needed so badly to build "my house of facts" so necessary to my own semi-scientific method of approaching my work. The scientists knew full well...that I had notified them in advance of the fact, in writing...still, they would not admit it. Dr. Fogel is a "different breed of cat" (since am not a scientist, it is not necessary for me to use dignified jargon...but I do get to the point.) Dr. Fogel is a hard-nosed scientist...interested in one thing and one thing only...TRUTH...truth that will lead to answers...answers that the human race, mankind, does not have at present. And Dr. Fogel will not move or budge...unless he has facts, hard facts...at his fingertips...to proceed with.&#13;
&#13;
If I may put it this way...the scientific community must step across the stream of Truth...putting each foot solidly on rocks of fact...to XXX where the answers are. Even if the facts...are painful and perhaps even distasteful to the scientist. The end result...Truth...is the only target worth hitting, and facts are the arrows to be shot at that target.&#13;
&#13;
Now get this: Dr. Max Fogel is NOT lending his name and reputation to UFO's, UFO material, or UFO people such as myself. He IS lending his name and reputation to the facts...and truth...as it occurs...and wherever that truth may lie.&#13;
&#13;
He is following my work, patiently...trying to understand if the work is valid...and if so, what could lie underneath it...what could be the motivating cause-and-effect mechanism, causing my "miracles", if indeed they are miracles. He is approaching me and my work...objectively...and he insists on only one thing from me...facts...facts that prove out. If what I do will qualify, then he will give me a simple statement of fact to that point...when I request it...but only if it is a rock-ribbed, true statement of fact. Any statement of fact that he has given me...I have requested of him. He will not give me any unsolicited statements of fact. (But in doing so...I feel that he is, unlike other scientists, being true to himself...and to science.) As I remember...science is based upon experimentation and observation. That is what Dr. Fogel and I are engaged in...and the only results that either of us acknowledge or recognize...are pure, hard facts.&#13;
