November 9, 1973
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
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.
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.

Police Say

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.
Huff said Marlon Owen, the Chase City police radio dispatcher, first sighted the object after noticing an unusual light reflection on the window of the police station.
Owen radioed Huff, who drove to the west side of town and parked on a railroad bridge, almost under the object, Huff said.
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.
It stayed motionless for another five minutes before heading rapidly in a westerly direction, he added.
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.
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.
The object suddenly left the ground in a burst of brilliant light, he reported.
The blacktop street caught fire, and when police arrived on the scene the tar was still hot and smoking.
Two months later, a rural Lunenburg County storekeeper said she was startled one night by a thundering roar.
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.

Dear Dr. Max:
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"!
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!
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!
So, it has begun!
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 for 10 years) and ask them to appear within a 100 mile radius of where I live, the Eastern Shore...using the "bullseye". Furthermore, I told you I would go to 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!

Dr. Max Fogel, Int'l Research Scientist, Mensa, Phila.
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"...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 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 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!

Dr. Max Fogel, Mensa
Dear Dr. Max... Yesterday I set up an experiment-demonstration...of my intent to produce UFO's here 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...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 what I am going to do 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" all the time in this area...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...so will work at that also. Best....

Oct. 17, 1973.......SCIENTISTS
I have never sent out a Contact Letter like this one...but up to now there has never been a need. These UFO's you read about herein...are my Si's (spatial intelligences) that I have worked for, and with...for about ten years.
They have helped me perform my many miracles...solid proof that they've been with me. Now, here in Cape Charles...my family and I have seen two UFO's in the past several months.
I saw one as big as a house down at the waterfront, up over the water.
The other one my wife saw, and called me...it was BETWEEN OUR HOUSE AND THE NEXT HOUSE...next to her bedroom!
Be that as it may, yesterday George Teixeira, a friend of mine in Frisco, called me LD, and asked what this tremendous UFO activity meant.
I told him this: my miracles, and connection with the Si's...has been covered up this past year.
How much have you read about Owens, the "UFO Prophet"? Not much.
Why? I've done some of the most powerful miracles this past year than ever!
So, the Si's are displeased, to put it mildly.
Remember, I am the ONLY human being who can communicate with these UFO's...and PROVE it...with miracles!
They are showing themselves...to get me out before the public eye again...and dramatize their stark real-ness.
They do not want my miracles (backed up by their incredible powers) covered up by govt. agencies so that the PEOPLE will not know.
They want the people of this country to know that they are QUITE REAL...also what they can do.
I predict...that if they do not get what they wish...some first class "disaster areas" may occur in this country.
Something the Si's do not, repeat not, want to bring about.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
This is an accurate statement of fact, as requested from me by Ted Owens called "PK Man".
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.

CONTACTS.....
Enclosed case attached hereto...is remarkable...albeit it seems to be just another pro football game.
In the first place, the Steelers were the "underdogs" in this game. The experts, the pro gamblers, didn't think they could win.
Not only that...their star (Steelers), Bradshaw, was injured and could not play. His backup, Hanratty, QB, was injured...and it was thought he could not play long. These facts were known well before the day of the game. IN SPITE OF THIS I TOLD DR. FOGEL THE DAY BEFORE THE GAME THAT I WOULD USE MY POWERS TO TRY TO HELP THE STEELERS WIN. What happened...was truly amazing.
Hanratty started the game, even though injured...and shortly had to leave the game for the Steelers. So they put in Gilliam for QB. GILLIAM HAD NEVER THROWN A TOUCHDOWN PASS IN THE PROS. And bear in mind...the Steelers were playing the powerful Washington Redskins! Well, if you were watching the game...you saw two of Gilliam's passes float like a magic trick...or an illusion...into the hands of receivers...one of these passes for a touchdown into the hands of Pearson...WHO HAD NEVER BEFORE CAUGHT A TOUCHDOWN PASS IN THE PROS!
But to top it off...with minutes left in the game...the ball jumped around like a flea in a skillet (when Washington was about to score the winning touchdown) and miraculously hopped into the hands of a Steeler...and this won the game for the Steelers.
Steeler tackle Joe Greene, as you can from the newsclip, summed it up (unknowingly confirming the fact that I was using my tremendous powers in this game)....."We've got somebody up there taking care of us."
Never a truer word was spoken.

'Going to Play'
Gilliam's Vow
To Steeler QBs
11/7/73
Pittsburgh
"I'm going to play," Joe Gilliam promised. "Terry Bradshaw and Terry Hanratty are going to have to work hard or I'll be breathing down their necks."
Gilliam uttered his pledge weeks ago, then waited patiently as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers' taxi squad for an opportunity to prove his point.
It came Monday night, as the Steelers, already minus starter quarterback Bradshaw, played the Washington Redskins.
Afterward, Gilliam talked about his performance in the Steelers' 21-16 victory.
"I had faith that sooner or later I'd get a chance," Gilliam said. "I tried to stay ready mentally. I was glad I could come in and do it when they needed me."
Second-stringer Hanratty, already suffering from a painful rib injury, started in place of Bradshaw, sidelined with a shoulder separation.
His rib injury aggravated, Hanratty left early in the third quarter, putting second-year man Gilliam into the game with a 14-6 lead.
"My idea wasn't to be conservative, but to move the football... any way I saw fit," Gilliam said.
Early in the fourth quarter, Gilliam connected with Barry Pearson for the young receiver's first NFL touchdown.
"I had a chance for my first touchdown," Pearson said. "Nothing was going to stop me."
It also was Gilliam's first pro touchdown pass. Gilliam also tossed a second-and-12 pass at the Steeler 22 into the arms of Washington's Brig Owens, for Owens' second interception of the game.
"We've got somebody up

there taking care of us," quipped Steeler tackle Joe Greene, who recovered one Redskin fumble and fell on two others by Steelers.
With five minutes left, Washington's Billy Kilmer tossed to Larry Brown, who was hit hard by Safety Mike Wagner.
The ball jumped out of Brown's arms and into those of Pittsburgh Safety Glen Edwards. Edwards fumbled, then he was hit on the same play. But Greene came up with the ball on the Steeler seven and Pittsburgh ran out the clock for its 13th successive regular-season home victory.
Hanratty was injured when he tried to recover a fumble. "Our plans are for Hanratty to heal," said Pittsburgh coach Chuck Noll. "And our other plans are for Bradshaw to heal.
"In any case, there's one."
The loss dropped the Redskins to 5-3, into a tie with Dallas for first place in the National Conference East. Pittsburgh, now 7-1, holds a 2½-game lead over Cleveland in the American Conference Central.

Am talking about Eastern Virginia; the Tidewater 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 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!

Dear Dr. Max... Yesterday I set up an experiment-demonstration...of my intent to produce UFO's here 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...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 what I am going to do 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" all the time in this area...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...so will work at that also. Best....

Oct. 17, 1973.......SCIENTISTS
I have never sent out a Contact Letter like this one...but up to now there has never been a need. These UFO's you read about herein...are my Si's (spatial intelligences) that I have worked for, and with...for about ten years.
They have helped me perform my many miracles...solid proof that they've been with me. Now, here in Cape Charles...my family and I have seen two UFO's in the past several months.
I saw one as big as a house down at the waterfront, up over the water.
The other one my wife saw, and called me...it was BETWEEN OUR HOUSE AND THE NEXT HOUSE...next to her bedroom!
Be that as it may, yesterday George Teixeira, a friend of mine in Frisco, called me LD, and asked what this tremendous UFO activity meant.
I told him this: my miracles, and connection with the Si's...has been covered up this past year.
How much have you read about Owens, the "UFO Prophet"? Not much.
Why? I've done some of the most powerful miracles this past year than ever!
So, the Si's are displeased, to put it mildly.
Remember, I am the ONLY human being who can communicate with these UFO's...and PROVE it...with miracles!
They are showing themselves...to get me out before the public eye again...and dramatize their stark real-ness.
They do not want my miracles (backed up by their incredible powers) covered up by govt. agencies so that the PEOPLE will not know.
They want the people of this country to know that they are QUITE REAL...also what they can do.
I predict...that if they do not get what they wish...some first class "disaster areas" may occur in this country.
Something the Si's do not, repeat not, want to bring about.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
This is an accurate statement of fact, as requested from me by Ted Owens called "PK Man".
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.

CONTACTS.....
Enclosed case attached hereto...is remarkable...albeit it seems to be just another pro football game.
In the first place, the Steelers were the "underdogs" in this game. The experts, the pro gamblers, didn't think they could win.
Not only that...their star (Steelers), Bradshaw, was injured and could not play. His backup, Hanratty, QB, was injured...and it was thought he could not play long. These facts were known well before the day of the game. IN SPITE OF THIS I TOLD DR. FOGEL THE DAY BEFORE THE GAME THAT I WOULD USE MY POWERS TO TRY TO HELP THE STEELERS WIN. What happened...was truly amazing.
Hanratty started the game, even though injured...and shortly had to leave the game for the Steelers. So they put in Gilliam for QB. GILLIAM HAD NEVER THROWN A TOUCHDOWN PASS IN THE PROS. And bear in mind...the Steelers were playing the powerful Washington Redskins! Well, if you were watching the game...you saw two of Gilliam's passes float like a magic trick...or an illusion...into the hands of receivers...one of these passes for a touchdown into the hands of Pearson...WHO HAD NEVER BEFORE CAUGHT A TOUCHDOWN PASS IN THE PROS!
But to top it off...with minutes left in the game...the ball jumped around like a flea in a skillet (when Washington was about to score the winning touchdown) and miraculously hopped into the hands of a Steeler...and this won the game for the Steelers.
Steeler tackle Joe Greene, as you can from the newsclip, summed it up (unknowingly confirming the fact that I was using my tremendous powers in this game)....."We've got somebody up there taking care of us."
Never a truer word was spoken.

'Going to Play'
Gilliam's Vow
To Steeler QBs
11/7/73
Pittsburgh
"I'm going to play," Joe Gilliam promised. "Terry Bradshaw and Terry Hanratty are going to have to work hard or I'll be breathing down their necks."
Gilliam uttered his pledge weeks ago, then waited patiently as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers' taxi squad for an opportunity to prove his point.
It came Monday night, as the Steelers, already minus starter quarterback Bradshaw, played the Washington Redskins.
Afterward, Gilliam talked about his performance in the Steelers' 21-16 victory.
"I had faith that sooner or later I'd get a chance," Gilliam said. "I tried to stay ready mentally. I was glad I could come in and do it when they needed me."
Second-stringer Hanratty, already suffering from a painful rib injury, started in place of Bradshaw, sidelined with a shoulder separation.
His rib injury aggravated, Hanratty left early in the third quarter, putting second-year man Gilliam into the game with a 14-6 lead.
"My idea wasn't to be conservative, but to move the football... any way I saw fit," Gilliam said.
Early in the fourth quarter, Gilliam connected with Barry Pearson for the young receiver's first NFL touchdown.
"I had a chance for my first touchdown," Pearson said. "Nothing was going to stop me."
It also was Gilliam's first pro touchdown pass. Gilliam also tossed a second-and-12 pass at the Steeler 22 into the arms of Washington's Brig Owens, for Owens' second interception of the game.
"We've got somebody up

there taking care of us," quipped Steeler tackle Joe Greene, who recovered one Redskin fumble and fell on two others by Steelers.
With five minutes left, Washington's Billy Kilmer tossed to Larry Brown, who was hit hard by Safety Mike Wagner.
The ball jumped out of Brown's arms and into those of Pittsburgh Safety Glen Edwards. Edwards fumbled, then he was hit on the same play. But Greene came up with the ball on the Steeler seven and Pittsburgh ran out the clock for its 13th successive regular-season home victory.
Hanratty was injured when he tried to recover a fumble. "Our plans are for Hanratty to heal," said Pittsburgh coach Chuck Noll. "And our other plans are for Bradshaw to heal.
"In any case, there's one."
The loss dropped the Redskins to 5-3, into a tie with Dallas for first place in the National Conference East. Pittsburgh, now 7-1, holds a 2½-game lead over Cleveland in the American Conference Central.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
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.
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.
