On June 5, 1966, Ted Owens made the following prediction to myself, my husband, Robert Hansell, and George Riddle:
The UFO Intelligences, to demonstrate their powers further to the U.S. Govt. will bring about a nuclear submarine catastrophe, or Aircraft Carrier catastrophe, i.e., a naval catastrophe involving U.S. vessels within the near future.
They will also deal our seat of Government (The White House and Capitol Hill) a serious blow in the near future.
The above to take place not later than September, 1966.
(Only the time element was off a bit)
Sept. 15, 1966, the West German submarine Hai suddenly sunk with its crew.
Oct. 26, 1966, the J.S.S. Aircraft Carrier Oriskany caught fire and burned, killing 34 officers and pilots and 9 enlisted men.
Nov. 2, 1966, U.S. Aircraft Carrier Guadalcanal, a helicopter crashed on deck killing four of the crew and injuring eighteen others.
Nov. 4, 1966, U.S. Navy Submarine "Tiru" accidentally went aground off the coast of Australia and radioed for help. Took three days for tug to get it off the rocks and it is now in port being repaired.
Nov. 5, 1966, U.S. Aircraft Carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. caught fire, killing eight of the crew. Commander Schultz, the ship's captain termed the cause of the blaze "a mystery".
Nov. 8, 1966, former aircraft carrier, now a transport caught fire in Zula Gulf, Hawaii.
Nov. 10, 1966, Nuclear U.S. sub Nautilus collided with the aircraft carrier Essex, and was extensively damaged.
Also, on Nov. 5, 1966, President Johnson of the United States announced that he must have two operations performed at once; surgery. This was certainly a blow to our seat of government.
Therefore it is my conviction that this 3-point prediction by Ted Owens has come about (although a few weeks late) in the exact order that he predicted it.

Carrier Hit By Nautilus Under Sea
Crewman Hurt, A-Sub's Tower Badly Damaged
NORFOLK, Va., Nov. 10 (AP) - The world's first nuclear submarine, Nautilus, rammed the aircraft carrier Essex while running submerged off the Virginia Capes coast Thursday, slightly injuring any crewman.
The Navy said the mishap occurred during a maneuvering exercise.
The Nautilus, commissioned Sept. 30, 1954, suffered heavy damage on its sail, or tower, which was bent and twisted. It surfaced, it struck out for the Norfolk Naval Shipyard and has been put in underwater drydock for repairs.
CARRIER DAMAGED
The Oriskany, sister to the Essex, suffered a disastrous fire off Vietnam last month, killing 44 men. The Essex, a 27,100-ton carrier, was commissioned in 1942. It has been in the Atlantic Fleet since 1960.
The Navy said the Essex was headed for "Yankee Station" off the coast of North Vietnam.
Officials said the damage to the Essex was minor.
Officials said the collision happened at 1:15 p.m. about 10 miles off the Virginia Capes. OCCURRED IN MORNING
The Essex is based at Quonset Point, R.I.
Officials said the collision happened at 1:15 p.m. about 10 miles off the Virginia Capes, N.C.
A Navy spokesman said members of the submarine's crew were "shaken up" but not injured.
Background
Navy Has Rough Sailing!
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 (AP) - The U.S. Navy has had rough time in the way of accidents and collisions in the past few weeks.
Thursday's collision of a nuclear submarine with an aircraft carrier off the Virginia Capes was at least the sixth accident involving Navy vessels since Oct. 26.
Off the Vietnam coast, the attack aircraft carrier Oriskany caught fire and burned, killing 44 officers and pilots and 9 enlisted men. You have several hundred ships operating at sea, three big ones are supposed to happen, one high official said. The best you can hope is to take steps toward lessening the risk.
Here are recent accidents:
Oct. 26-Fire that broke out in a locker containing flares swept the Oriskany off Vietnam. The flames, from which U.S. gets flares in North Vietnam, had to be pulled off the "Yankee Station" and sent home for repairs.
Nov. 2 - The submarine Tiru ran aground off a reef off the Coast of Australia and was stuck four days before it could be pulled away. None of the 60 men aboard was injured.
Nov. 4 - The LST (Landing Ship, Transport) Chochutaw County rammed the top of the Bay Tunnel at Norfolk, Va., and had to be pulled away by two tugs. No injuries.
Nov. 5 - The carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt operating in South China Seas, was hit by a fire which killed eight men. The carrier remained on station.
Nov. 8 - Fire erupted in a storage room of the 24,000 ton aircraft transport, the Palo Alto, stationed at Pearl Harbor. No one was injured.
The blaze was brought under control in three hours.
Nov. 10 - The submarine Nautilus rammed the carrier Essex during a maneuver off the Virginia Capes. The sail, or periscope, of the atomic sub suffered extensive damage to a superstructure and surfacing was only one injury, possible a broken arm sustained by one of the crewmen. The Essex was not damaged.
One of the Navy's more embarrassing incidents of recent months occurred in June, 1965, when a radar picket destroyer, the Frank Knox, ran aground off the coast of a reef in the South China Sea.
The Navy later reprimanded the commander of the destroyer after a Coast Guard investigation. He was charged of negligence by failing to keep himself informed of the ship's position.
Burned Carrier Is Home to Prepare for Next Round
San Diego, Calif., Nov. 18 - The burned-out attack carrier Viet Nam Oriskany and her proud, weary men returned from war today to their homeport of San Diego, deemed by the loss of 51 men.
Hand clapping and an estimated 2,000 wives, children and friends greeted the huge 42,000-ton carrier as it docked under gray skies.
Forty-four men, including 25 officers, were victims of the tragic fire of Oct. 26. The Oriskany's fire still lingers on scorched walls of the hangar bay and living quarters. Ten other Oriskany pilots were lost on strike missions over a short period of time, said the skipper of the 21-year-old carrier, Capt. J. P. Iarrobino of Coronado, Calif., praising his ship's crew and ship's speed.
The ship would not make its third, trip, ship goes to San Francisco for repairs, back to the Viet Nam war is gone.
"The morale of the men is terrific," the skipper said. "This ship's performance was outstanding - not just outstanding, but great.
"We were in a state of shock," Iarrobino said. "But we're digging." "We don't know whether I answer the bell for the next round."
Inquiry Under Way
After a week in San Diego the ship goes to San Francisco for three or four months of repair and overhaul, followed by another tour of war duty.
Meanwhile, a board of inquiry investigating the Oriskany fire will take "roughly another two weeks to finish," Iarrobino said.
