DescriptionTed Owen sits on a couch amongst piles of books and papers. The surface of the couch on either side of him and a coffee table in front of him are filled with stacked and opened publications. Pictures and posters are propped up on the back ledge of the couch which lean against an ornately patterned wall. The pictures and book covers depict various creatures and alien-like figures. Some of the books are his own authored nonfiction, "How to Contact Space People." Ted is balding and has a very large, fluffy, groomed beard and mustache. He wears a lot of jewelry including multiple necklaces, a large silver cuff bracelet and multiple large rings. He wears a button-down short-sleeved shirt with two pens in his breast pocket. He hovers his outstretched hands over one another and looks at the camera without a smile.

"How to Contact Space People" was published in 1969. Ted Owen was out-spoken about being abducted by alien intelligence who imported knowledge into him which included supernatural powers, such as controlling weather and natural forces.
