Gentlemen:&#13;
&#13;
Columbia Studios (Mikels) is considering doing a movie based on my experiences.  &#13;
But first...they are going to pay me a fee...to fly out to California and try to  &#13;
give a live demonstration with UFO's, for them to photograph with movie cameras,  &#13;
etc.&#13;
&#13;
Since I make my living working with and for UFO's...just as you do in the field of  &#13;
astronomy...and the field of psychology...a fee is in order.&#13;
&#13;
Now, I am writing you...not because I went anything...but because I figured that  &#13;
possibly I could do you a favor, since you two have proven to have objective, open  &#13;
scientific minds...instead of narrow, closed scientific minds.&#13;
&#13;
If you would like to have someone you know, come along when I give this experiment-  &#13;
al demonstration...then I will allow it. I am going to hand-pick who goes along on  &#13;
this 2-3 day junket into the isolated countryside; and I am going to pick the location  &#13;
I am going to go all out...to make this a really bang-up demonstration. It is an  &#13;
odd fact...that never, repeat never, have I ever failed to bring a UFO out into  &#13;
plain sight...on one of these demonstrations! Best example, of course, of this...was  &#13;
with Mr. Ed Ames, the realtor, in Brewer, Maine...when I in two weeks over Brewer-Bangor  &#13;
area, and had to be reported in the papers...and brought one out in exactly one week  &#13;
which scared people, knocked out car lights and radios, etc., and was reported on  &#13;
the front page of the paper.&#13;
&#13;
And just to do the job right...! I will also endeavor to bring out a "big-foot" giant,  &#13;
and/or a "mothman", to be photographed. Of course, I'll also try to get a UFO down  &#13;
where we are...but have never been able to do that yet. But when the SI's and I  &#13;
operate together...anything at all can happen.&#13;
&#13;
Of course, there's the chance that for the first time nothing will happen. But that's  &#13;
the chance we take. All I can do is try...and do my best. My best has been good for  &#13;
miracle after miracle after miracle...through the years and still going strong.&#13;
&#13;
This demonstration will not be to try to win any prize of money for "tangible evidence  &#13;
of outer space" etc. The demonstration will be so that the movie people will be able  &#13;
to get good film footage for the movie coming up...which movie will please the SI's.  &#13;
(My SI's are not from "outer space" anyway, but another dimension. And they are about  &#13;
as "intangible" as it can get.) So far I have dealt with their powers...not their  &#13;
tangible forms or tangible craft.&#13;
&#13;
Anyway, for whatever it is worth to you...there's the offer on my part to try and hand  &#13;
you gentlemen something in the way of information, concrete information, on the SI's  &#13;
in a more direct manner than heretofore (i.e., not affidavits, etc.)&#13;
