&#13;
Dear Dr. Sprinkle:&#13;
&#13;
Thank you for the courtesy of your answer...to my most unbelievable letter.&#13;
&#13;
The facts are these...I'm the only human in the world...that can communicate with UFO intelligences and prove it, year in and year out...consistently. Documented. I actually amount to what could be called a "national treasure". I know that sounds bad, but it is true, nonetheless.&#13;
&#13;
Am currently giving a demonstration...it began several months ago and is a world-wide weather demonstration. It will be documented by most respected and responsible people. And the results already have been scary enough to make your hair stand on end.&#13;
&#13;
Trouble is...you are there and I am here. You can't see my records or documentation, or check with my contacts. Awkward. I have, for the past several years, approached this whole matter in a strictly scientific vein. No "mystical" approach to it. My proof is proof, and can be checked out.&#13;
&#13;
Have you heard of Otto Binder, the author? He is doing a two-part story on my work in Saga Magazine...will come out in July and August. Then you can really find out all about it. He puts it much better than I can...he's checked me out thoroughly (his credentials for this sort of thing are awesome) and am sure when you read his articles, you will gain a better understanding. Perhaps then...you might be more activated, or motivated, to do something about the situation.&#13;
&#13;
If you will just lightly consider...I have more power at my command, through my contact with UFO intelligences...than all the power of all the world's armed forces. Easily. Sounds like a mental case? True. Unfortunately for scientists, it is all documented. The power has been seen already, and confirmed by reputable people. Lawyers, etc. Precognition is out...otherwise how could I tell where and when a UFO would appear...as I have done on numerous occasions? More important...what the UFO would do, its actions. I don't care whether you accept or reject my claims.* I just hope that you are a good scientist...good enough to dig into the matter, someday&#13;
&#13;
*backed up by a logjam of documented proof&#13;
&#13;
Best wishes to you....&#13;
