Welcome to Dreamland, a program dedicated to an examination of areas in the human experience not easily nor neatly put in a box.
Things seen at the edge of vision, awakening a part of the mind as yet not mapped.
And yet things every bit as real as the air we breathe but don't see.
This is Dreamland.
From the high desert, it's Sunday and another dreamland.
Good evening, everybody.
I'm Art Bell.
Let me give you a little bit of a sort of a thumbnail sketch of what's about to happen this evening.
And it's quite a bit.
First, we'll go to Philadelphia.
Our regular update from that person known to be the world's expert, the world's leading authority on animal mutilations and crop circles, Linda Howell.
Then, a change of pace on Dreamland.
Glenn Campbell is going to sing about the Rocky Mountains.
No, just kidding.
Not that, Glenn Campbell.
This is the Area 51 Glenn Campbell.
That may or may not mean anything to many of you, but he is a man who has spent, well, we'll find out how long, long time up at Area 51 watching the goings-ons, the goings-ons, the goings-on, perhaps plural.
And we'll talk to Glenn Campbell.
So that is what's coming up on Dreamland, beginning just about dung.
Now, to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the way out, and Linda Howe.
Linda, good evening.
linda moulton howe
Hi, Ari.
art bell
Hi.
linda moulton howe
This week, I have been receiving calls like you about the discovery of that surprisingly bright object on the other side of Jupiter.
art bell
Yes.
What is it?
Hailbop, I believe they call it.
linda moulton howe
Hailbop, yes.
And you also faxed me the July 30th London Telegraph article in which science correspondent Robert Matthews wrote, quote, what fascinates astronomers and worries some is that this object is still far beyond the orbit of Jupiter, yet it can be seen with small telescopes.
That means the object might be more than a thousand miles across, a hundred times bigger than Halley's comet, and well able to extinguish all life if it hit the Earth.
That was a quote, and then it also noted that Dr. Marsden, Brian Marsden at Harvard, who has been an expert in comets there, said, quote, it is unheard of for a comet to be visible in small telescopes while so far away.
It could become the comet of the millennium as it comes in toward the sun over the next year or two, unquote.
Well, that was the London Telegraph, and I checked with Sky and Telescope, a very respected forum, both for astronomers and amateur astronomers, and it reported that this is the first time that two amateur astronomers have ever been able with the 16-inch reflector telescope that they were using to pick up something that is at 11 magnitude glow.
And because they took so many positional observations and calculations, that they were able to determine that this is now seven astronomical units from the Sun, which is really way out there beyond Jupiter and further away than any comet discovered by amateurs before.
The fact that it could be seen at all, as the London Telegraph pointed out, suggested, in terms of Sky and Telescopes forum, that this may be some kind of an object, a comet or other that is doing outbursts.
It means that the light is changing.
It is appearing five to ten times magnitude brighter than normal.
And then this past week the light seemed to dim, according to the amateur astronomers.
And a man in New Mexico who got out his 24-inch reflector and a charged couple device.
And he says that he has found something in this what's called the spiral coma at the rear of this object that is typical of another comet that had what's called a light outburst that's not very well understood.
And right now, there is a columnist for the Sky and Telescope who says that when this outburst occurs in a comet, sometimes a second outburst occurs about 30 days later.
And what they are intrigued by is that this current observation, which is now just about a week and a half old, the comet has a fan-shaped head as of July 31st.
That is also unusual.
And Marsden at Harvard has calculated that this particular object on the track and in the course that it is will reach its closest point in March or April of 1997 just inside the Earth's orbit.
The magazine says, quote, it will grace the pre-dawn sky for North America observers that spring, but how bright it will get is still anybody's guess, unquote.
It could become the astronomical sensation at the end of this decade, or it might go careening off depending upon the Jupiter influence.
And the big unanswered question that you and I discussed, Art, is if it's picked up at that distance now by 16-inch telescopes, is this something that means that this object is huge, the 1,000 miles in diameter, or is there something strange going on with light fluctuations that are not understood?
art bell
Either way, it's a big story, Linda.
And, you know, I'm out during the week on now 200 affiliates.
linda moulton howe
Wow.
art bell
And well, yeah, we just picked up.
unidentified
Congratulations.
art bell
Oh, thank you.
The last one we picked up beginning tomorrow night is KMTC Los Angeles.
Anyway, what I wanted to say is a lot of local hosts have been saying, you know, Art Bell's been talking about this, but there must be nothing to it.
It must be baloney, or else the national press would have picked it up.
Well, it's not baloney, is it?
linda moulton howe
No, not at all.
And the fact that Sky and Telescope is writing this kind of a story, getting it out on the internet, and there'll probably be a big article upcoming.
This is an object art to be watched seriously, seriously, as we went through all of those pieces of comet that broke or meteorite or whatever it was or asteroid that broke into Jupiter.
This is another one of those stories that will be watched now from now until the spring of 97.
And you and I will have to keep updating this and doing reports on Dreamland.
And one thing I think I would like to do after I get back from England is probably check in with Brian Marsden at Harvard and do an interview with him.
art bell
Good.
Oh, what a great idea.
Thank you.
linda moulton howe
Yeah, and the London Telegraph also reported last week that thousands of people from Scotland to southern England witnessed a brilliant fireball believed to be part of a comet or asteroid or something burning up in the Earth's atmosphere.
One eyewitness at South Shields, England reported, quote, it was like a huge floodlight lighting everything.
And this was seen by people in several pieces of the British Isles.
Well, it reminds me, too, of today I talked with Nancy Talbot in Massachusetts, who has been getting a lot of coordinated reports from England concerning the crop circles.
And she says that people have been reporting green lights, orange lights, white lights, all kinds of moving lights this summer over fields either where formations have formed or over fields in which the next field over formations form.
And there have been so many of these eyewitness sightings that people are associating the lights with an area where something forms.
And I leave for England tomorrow.
And even though harvest is partly underway, if there is a fresh formation to report about next Sunday, I will have the latest news wherever it is from wherever I am in England.
art bell
I take it you're also going to be chasing after the whole Santilli thing.
linda moulton howe
Absolutely.
And in just a few minutes, I'm going to have a very interesting piece relating to this whole issue of what a non-human being might look like.
But I wanted to bring you all up to date on a new formation here in the United States.
Last Sunday in the Press Democrat newspaper of Santa Rosa, California, the front page carried a color photograph of an odd symbol in a horse pasture and the headline, quote, triangular mystery on Santa Rosa Hill, unquote.
I called and talked to the owners of the pasture who do not want to talk publicly yet, but they confirmed a very surprising fact.
The 150-foot-long formation of an equilateral triangle with a circle at each corner that's very reminiscent of one of England's most famous formations at Barbary Castle in 1991.
This formation in California actually emerged on Easter weekend in April, and yet no one reported anything until this newspaper report last Sunday, four months later.
A relative who lives on this horse ranch said that he was awakened by a very bright flash of light the night before he and his family discovered the triangle and circles on the hillside.
The wife of the owner of this horse pasture told me that the family discussed it and they decided they would do nothing.
They would not erase it.
They wouldn't report it.
They just left it alone.
Now the grass is dry, but the triangle and the three circles are a very clear dark outline in this still dry pasture grass even now.
And I have color photographs that two different sets of investigators in California took and sent to me this week.
And everybody is remarking, including the owners, about how clear this equilateral triangle and circles are.
And everyone makes the same comment.
The hill is so steep, the grass rises up a steep hill, and yet this is a perfect triangle and perfect circle.
And one person said, if someone hoaxed it, how could they do that on a hillside that is as steep as that one?
Rolling rollers and keeping them under control, making perfect triangles and circles would be difficult.
And no one anywhere has claimed any knowledge about this or having made it.
So there is a distinct mystery in the Santa Rosa area of California.
While comets are coming toward us and mysterious formations appear in cereal crops and everyone is arguing about whether or not the humanoid bodies in the now controversial Roswell autopsy film are real or human genetic anomalies, I continue to get male faxes in phone calls from people all over the country who report totally conscious encounters with non-human beings.
One man in Florida even described several types that are different, which we might be comparing, or at least worth considering comparing, to the Santilli autopsy story.
This man said that I could play this excerpt on Dreamland.
He's asked to remain anonymous for now, but the details of his experience are so vivid that I think it is worth sharing with our audience and keeping in mind maybe we're hearing firsthand about real human encounters with these beings and this may or may not help us in thinking about this alleged autopsy Santilli film.
So here is a man from Florida.
This is current conscious encounter.
unidentified
75%, 70% of the encounters that I had that what I saw were, that what I was allowed to see were primarily the little what I call drones or worker types.
They're about three, three and a half feet tall and they pretty much fit the description of generally what you'll see on television shows or magazines, which is the sort of big teardrop eyes, the pointed faces.
I call them drones, I call them workers.
The aliens that I'm familiar with that seem to manage them or run them are in essence about the same size, atrophied looking, skinny looking, Body-wise.
They almost look like someone, and I was told that I shouldn't say this, but I can't help it because this is what they look like to me.
They look like an individual who would be in the latter stages of that terrible disease AIDS.
They just look that sickly.
But yet I know they're not sick, I know they're strong, but they just affect their appearance when you look at them like, oh, this guy's in the latter stages of terrible malnutrition or AIDS or something like that.
As far as their faces are concerned, or their heads, their heads are slightly bigger than normal.
Their chins are somewhat pointed.
Their ears, there's no ears, it's like little holes for ears.
The faces are leather-like or wrinkled.
The eyes are bigger than normal, but not humongous, but somewhat bigger than normal.
No eyebrows.
They look older, like older people or older men-like looking.
They have not much of a mouth and sort of like a nodule, two little hole nodules for a nose.
At the best I can tell, not five fingers, but I think four, the best that I could tell.
These are the ones that I feel are like the true alien, genealogically speaking, race.
And I think ones that are about the same size that do all the work are sort of a creation that they put together where they farm material from us in order to make those.
linda moulton howe
What he just said was where they farm us in order to make those, implying that we may be dealing with a sophisticated level of different types of beings, one in charge of others that are worker bees.
The worker bees may be the ones we're interacting with.
They may be cloned, genetically created, and they may be created from material harvested on our planet from animals and people.
And this gets into what Bud Hopkins has reported about, the creation of hybrids.
This is where the animal mutilations may or may not come in.
And if something is mixing and matching genes and they are harvesting from the Earth, I think this is where this story is so important to try to understand because the implications could be huge in our future.
And one of the interesting things to keep in mind is that in the Roswell, the alleged Roswell autopsy of humanoids that Ray Sintelli has, the fingers and the toes, as I've seen very clear photographs, are clearly six.
And not any case that I can recall have abductees described six fingers or six toes.
It has always been like this man in Florida.
They either have four long fingers that are slightly claw-like or three or some variation on that theme.
art bell
But not six.
All right, Linda, we're very short on time, so I've got to scoot.
Give everybody quickly, if you would, contact information.
linda moulton howe
All right.
My post office box in Huntingdon Valley is 538, post office box 538, Huntingdon Valley PA, zip code 19006.
And for people interested in information about books and videos that I have produced, I now have an 800 number to call concerning those.
It's 800-707-9993.
art bell
Oh, that's excellent.
That's excellent.
And we'll get your little spot on later, and that'll tell them all the rest of it.
linda moulton howe
All right.
And all right.
Thanks.
Have a good time with your next guest.
Area 51 is always fascinating.
And next Sunday from England, who knows what I will have to report.
art bell
No, that's going to be looking for it.
We're going to be looking forward to it.
Don't forget to calculate the times now.
linda moulton howe
About 4 a.m. there.
art bell
Yeah, all right, Linda.
Talk to you then.
linda moulton howe
Okay, Art.
art bell
Take care.
Linda Howe, certainly acknowledged by almost everybody, everybody that I know of, actually, to be the world's expert on crop circles, animal mutilation, with us next Sunday from England, where there's a lot going on.
Well, coming up in a moment, Glenn Campbell, right now, North American trading and their easy Rio.
Glenn Campbell, 35 years of age, is the principal local activist, seeking greater government accountability at, guess where, Area 51, a secret military base 90 miles north of Las Vegas.
Formerly a successful computer programmer from Boston, Campbell moved to the remote town of Rachel, Nevada in January of 93 to investigate the many strange stories emanating from the base.
His carefully researched book, The Area 51 Viewer's Guide, helped bring mainstream attention to a story that's been dominated by UFO and conspiracy buffs with little concern for the facts.
And indeed, mainstream media has jumped on it.
You'll recall a recent Larry King show in which he sat out in the desert with his desk in the desert and had some guests on the subject and his even more recent piece on UFOs.
So there's lots and lots of mainstream media attention now to Area 51.
Maybe they've moved elsewhere.
Who knows?
But then why annex that land?
We'll ask.
Glenn Campbell.
That'll be next on Dreamland.
unidentified
Dreamland.
art bell
You've heard so much.
I live right next to it.
I wonder a lot about it.
In a moment, Glenn Campbell, and he'll answer the questions.
One very quick ad for you.
To actually to Las Vegas, which is where I believe Glenn Campbell is located right now.
You won't sing for us, will you?
glenn campbell
I will if you want me to.
art bell
No, that's all right.
How you doing, Glenn?
glenn campbell
I'm doing just great, Art.
art bell
How is it living with that name, by the way?
unidentified
Oh, it's difficult, but I've learned to live with it.
glenn campbell
Now the interesting thing is I'm giving him some help because he has to answer all those UFO questions now.
art bell
Do you think occasionally they say, what about Area 51?
glenn campbell
Yes, I know he's been asked that.
art bell
Uh-huh, no doubt.
Well, you know where I live, Glenn.
Up in Perump, Yeah, and we have a somewhat remote, nevertheless, pretty good viewers' location here in Perump for Area 51.
And what flies up gets high enough up over the mountain range.
We see it here.
And there are a lot of people with a lot of stories in Perump, and I'm one of the guys who's got a story, and I am going to tell it to you next hour, I think, and get your view.
First, let's go back.
Let's find out how in the world...
glenn campbell
I have become one.
I'm an Easterner by birth, and I got interested in the UFO phenomenon several years ago, and this seemed to be the epicenter of it.
art bell
Oh, yeah.
glenn campbell
Like you say, the aliens picked me up and brought me here.
art bell
But it was probably a conventional aircraft.
glenn campbell
Well, it was probably a continental aircraft.
art bell
Yeah, there you go.
So you actually, what did you do?
Did you take up residence at Area 51 or near it?
How did you live up there?
glenn campbell
As close as I can get.
The small town of Rachel, Nevada is just north of Area 51, about 20 miles north of it.
It's as close as a civilian can get.
This is a small town of mobile homes, and I lived there for over two years before coming back here to Vegas.
art bell
So what did you do?
You just went out there and bought a mobile home and settled in for the watch?
glenn campbell
I rented a mobile home, and I settled in to pursue the mystery as I thought it should be pursued.
I did not spend all of my time looking in the sky for things in the sky because, quite frankly, I think that's not the most productive way to approach this.
The question is, if you see a light in the sky and it's maybe not earthly, where do you go with that information and how do you pursue it further?
It's kind of a dead end.
The most you can do is write it down and perhaps report it to others.
art bell
I agree.
glenn campbell
The avenue that I approach is that if any of this is happening, the government certainly knows more than we do.
The Air Force, for example, must have the cameras and the tracking ability to keep track of whatever is going through our atmosphere.
art bell
But I take it, no matter how hard you knocked on their door up there, I mean, nobody came out in uniform and said, well, we, the government, are now ready to meet with you, Glenn Campbell, and we'll tell you what we know.
That never happened.
glenn campbell
That never happened.
They ignored me totally.
But there's a lot of data.
As a former computer programmer, I'm concerned with data and what sort of data you can pull out of an area.
art bell
So then what was the idea, to talk to the locals?
glenn campbell
No, it was first of all to come here, to be here, and then to see what sort of avenues open themselves up.
And indeed, avenues did come.
You have a base there that officially does not exist.
The question is, how do you crack this base?
How do you find out more about it?
And the tools that I use are simply, first of all, to collect the open information that's there already.
There are a lot of misconceptions when people come here as to what the basic geography of the area is and what is that Area 51?
What is that groom base?
And what do we know about?
And simply to collect that and distribute that information pushes the movement ahead.
It creates a base of general information that everyone else can build upon.
art bell
Well, I take it when you moved into your trailer and you began to establish some sort of relationship with the locals, you would talk to people.
Do they talk about it much up there or are they very closed-mouthed about it?
glenn campbell
Well, the locals there in Rachel, the vast majority, don't have any connection to the base.
This town is only 20 miles from the base, but as far as they're concerned, this could be a million miles away.
It's like a small town anywhere.
People are concerned with their local affairs.
And it's only when the outsiders came, people from Las Vegas, came with the UFO interest, that anybody down there noticed anything.
I think that most of the interest is coming from Las Vegas.
Most of the workers to this base come from Las Vegas.
What you get up there is simply having access at that time to a hill where you could see the base.
art bell
Right.
Right.
But occasionally, I think you will admit, things would pop over the hill, and so the locals in Rachel must have been treated to occasional shows of this and that, and there must be a lot of local stories.
glenn campbell
Unfortunately, no.
The majority of the stories that I hear come from, frankly, from outsiders who are looking to the sky.
Figure if you are living in a small town, you go about your daily business, you go to sleep at night, you keep your eyes down, and you don't notice things.
art bell
Well, that's true.
glenn campbell
The local people there have lots of stories of F-117, the stealth fighter flying over before this was made public, and the B-2 flying over.
This community I see is no different from any other rural community.
You have believers, you have disbelievers.
The real stories are not coming from there.
The more interesting stories are coming from people who claim to have worked there or worked in some capacity in this restricted zone.
art bell
Yeah, let's go.
I was going to say, let's go back to Bob Lazar.
You've had plenty of opportunity to review his story.
How do you feel about it?
glenn campbell
He is a fascinating case, and he remains, although I know him, I don't know him well, he remains an enigma.
art bell
All right, a lot of people in the audience are saying, I have no idea who Bob Lazar is.
So who is he?
glenn campbell
Well, the whole source, perhaps, of most of this Area 51 interest came from Bob Lazar, a Las Vegas resident who came forward in 1989 on a local Las Vegas television station to claim that he had worked with alien craft at a site just south of Area 51 at Papoose Lake.
This is a very detailed story, a very coherent story that was just limited to this hardware that he claims to have worked with.
He says he worked with discs, and he can explain in great detail how these discs operate.
Although he does not know where they came from, he feels certain that these are extraterrestrial disks that the government has somehow acquired.
This was the spark that set off the interest in Area 51 and sent everybody up to Rachel to look for flying saucers themselves.
And the odd thing is, they saw them.
It seems that everyone who goes up there to see UFOs, expecting to see UFOs, does indeed see them.
But what I have seen in my time there are a lot of exotic light, the lights that I've eventually learned to explain as military aircraft, military activity.
art bell
How do you, by your own admission, strange lights, how do you then classify them military?
glenn campbell
Excuse me?
art bell
In other words, I guess I'm asking, others might say they went up there and saw something that was a UFO.
You're saying you've classified them as military.
How have you done that?
glenn campbell
Well, the most common, there are several common UFOs, what people interpret as UFOs.
Now, there are certainly UFOs, things that I cannot explain, but the things that I can explain are magnesium flares.
These are extremely bright orange balls that hang in the sky for five or ten minutes at a time and then go out.
And people report them as possibly jumping around at very small jumps.
But in reality, these are connected with the bombing exercises and ground exercises on the Nellis Range.
art bell
All right, that makes sense.
glenn campbell
What people don't understand is that although Area 51, this small block of land is strictly off-limits to even to military pilots, that the land all surrounding Area 51, and this is as big as the state of Connecticut, is a major war game exercise area.
Every pilot, every fighter pilot in the free world will come here at some point to test his skills in realistic combat.
art bell
And that's actually how it got its name Dreamland, isn't it?
In other words, they've got the newest, the latest, the best, the pilot's dream up there.
And isn't that how it got the name Dreamland?
glenn campbell
Well, I can't say that.
Dreamland, like all these names, has a very nebulous source.
What we call Dreamland has a very specific meaning, however.
Dreamland is a block of airspace.
And pilots, you can hear pilots on aircraft frequencies refer to this as Dreamland.
This is restricted airspace.
If you were on exercise here during these war games, even as a military pilot, if you were to stray into Dreamland, that could cost you your career.
art bell
If not, life, an airplane.
glenn campbell
Well, the military is not going to shoot down their own airplane.
art bell
No, but no, indeed not.
But what about civilian aircraft, particularly light aircraft that might overfly the area?
glenn campbell
There are a lot of stories in the past of aircraft straying into the zone and landing, and what they are met with, they are not shot down, but they are certainly met with a debriefing party.
It is equivalent of flying over the White House unauthorized.
This is restricted airspace.
Pilots know that if they do anything like that, they will lose their license.
They will be heavily fined.
There's no real record of anybody being shot down, but it's certainly a possibility.
art bell
Some of the better photographs that we have of Area 51, unfortunately, seem to have come from the Russians.
Now, I've seen them.
They circulate on the internet and elsewhere.
And they're pretty good Landsat-type photos, or better, of the hangars and the whole arrangement up there that does not exist.
glenn campbell
Indeed, this is the main issue here.
I think no matter what your attitude toward UFOs may be, the question is, should the government have a base that doesn't exist, that the Russians can see, but they cannot be acknowledged to the American people?
This is a very serious accountability issue, and one of the major issues that I am pursuing.
I think that I came here interested in the UFO phenomena, but what I came to see that the real issue is are these human issues of government accountability and human philosophy that really we have to get over before we can get to the UFO problem.
art bell
All right.
Well, let's consider something and its probability.
Glenn, the F-117 was developed at least in part, or the majority of it, up in that area, correct?
glenn campbell
It was tested from here and assembled here, yes.
art bell
Right.
It's now been, the F-117 wing is gone, I think, to New Mexico or someplace or another.
And is it not fair to imagine or project that if the F-117 is now an operational aircraft, a very black project, but it's now operational, I mean, it's out there, it's like off the production line and flying, then with the annexation of additional lands around there, that means the base is definitely still active.
So they must be a generation or maybe two or more ahead of the F-117.
We can only imagine what that might be.
glenn campbell
It's very hard to speculate along those lines.
They certainly, we don't have any baseline information on what, for example, the traffic of workers was during this F-117 program.
So it's hard to say now whether there are more workers going in there now or less.
Right now I live in Las Vegas overlooking a terminal where all of the workers fly into Groom Lake.
And we see between 700 and 800 people per day flying in and out.
art bell
Well, gee, now they're working on something.
glenn campbell
Indeed, they are.
But whether this is one big project, say another stealth aircraft or a hypersonic aircraft, or whether it's a lot of little projects, we just don't have that information.
art bell
Yeah, but whatever it is, it's got to be at least a generation past the F-117.
Isn't that logical?
glenn campbell
It is logical, but a generation, for example, in aviation terms might not be too exciting to you and I. In other words, at Area 51, it is proper, the actual base, the actual area that we know as Area 51, is probably restricted to conventional weapons development.
If we're going to talk about flying saucers, we're probably talking somewhere behind Area 51, deeper in the restricted zone.
art bell
All right, Bob Lazar, the physicist You talked about specified there was an area south of Area 51 called, I think it was S4, wasn't it?
glenn campbell
That is correct, and it's a very good place to put a secret saucer base, whether you're fictionalizing one or creating a real one, because this is a place where you simply cannot go, where you simply cannot see.
You look at satellite images, for example, the Russian satellite image, and you see nothing there, but Bob Lazar describes something that's built into the hillside where you wouldn't see anything.
I've talked to former workers who don't laugh off the Bob Lazar story because when they were there, although they were compartmentalized, they knew that there was some project going on across the hills over in this area, and this area was referred to as S4.
art bell
That's it.
Well, as you know, a lot of people who work there live in the Perump area and commute as well.
Now, there are a lot of people who over coffee or in a private moment will sort of give you a wink and a nod and maybe a little more, indicating that they know damn well something was going on up there and is going on up there, but they won't talk about it.
glenn campbell
Right.
art bell
Not really.
glenn campbell
And there are a few exceptions, however.
And from time to time, I will run into someone who tells me more than just a wink and a nod.
And, of course, I have only their word to take for it, but there is a coherent story.
art bell
All right.
We will explore that option with Glenn Campbell in just a moment.
That is to say, those who have given him more than a wink and a nod, which is all I managed to get here in Purum.
We'll be right back.
You don't have to put up.
Glenn, we're back.
What have you been told that's more than a wink and a nod?
glenn campbell
Well, the question is from the Bob Lazar story, where did those craft come from?
And I put together from various sources a folklore, a story that says that we have been in contact with aliens since the 1950s.
And perhaps in the next hour I can talk some more about that.
art bell
Well, do you say you used the word folklore?
glenn campbell
Ah, now this is where I differ from many other researchers.
I try to collect the whole story as one unit, and I don't go off and try to check each individual detail.
I look for the coherence of the story.
And this is a different approach.
This is saying that I'm going to spend a lot of time with a lot of people, learn what the story is that they're telling me, and eventually connections will come together that will either prove it true or false.
That's why I don't say this is 100% truth.
I say this is a mystery that's worthy of exploration.
art bell
If I were to throw you up against the wall and say, look, you've been studying this area longer than anybody else and closer.
Do you believe there are these kinds of craft up there or not?
What would you have to do?
glenn campbell
If you threw me against the wall, I'd throw you back and say, I neither believe nor disbelieve.
I am pursuing a mystery, and until the, like, like someone is pursuing a crime.
And I think that it's wrong to make a decision until you've collected all the evidence.
art bell
Well, that's certainly true, but people are all the time convicted on circumstantial evidence.
In other words, let me try this approach.
Is the weight of the evidence on the side of all this going on, or a lot of it going on, or does it wait the other way?
glenn campbell
It waits to the point where I am willing to spend my time on pursuing it.
All the other things in the world I could be doing, I want to be here pursuing UFOs.
And that's as far as I need to go to decide what to do.
The question is, how do I pursue it?
art bell
Or have you now gone past that and think they are not and nevertheless want to continue to pursue the story to just know what's going on up there?
glenn campbell
If I had to say it, I say that they're real and that they have been in contact with the government for some time.
They are not of any great threat, and I don't think they're going to change humanity all that much.
art bell
Well, that is a clear answer, and I appreciate it.
Glenn Campbell, and he is the author, by the way, of the Area 51 Viewers Guide.
Isn't that a neat title, The Area 51 Viewers Guide?
And we'll talk a little bit about that and how and whether you can even still view anything up there, whether there's anything to view.
unidentified
we'll be right back Glad to hear it.
art bell
And I've been swearing I wouldn't keep telling this story, but it's unavoidable.
I've got probably the world's expert here on what's out at Area 51 or what is not.
Coming home one night, late at night, about two years ago now, my wife, it was dark, there was about three quarters of a moon, and we were about a mile away from our house.
So I won't identify specifically where it was.
But here in the paramalee, and my wife turned around and said, what the hell's that?
She said, what's that?
Stop the car.
And so I stopped the car and got out of the car and looked up.
And here coming from behind us, and to give you the setting, it was a quiet night.
You could hear crickets going at a quarter mile away easily.
I mean, dead, flat, quiet as it is out here.
And coming up from behind us, from roughly a, let's see, it would have been a east-southeast direction was this triangular craft about 150 feet in the air above us.
There was enough light with, you know, three-quarter moon or better, so you could see the substance of this craft.
That's how close it was, no more than 150 feet above, and approaching our automobile quickly.
It was toward the, let's see, would have been west, southwest direction.
Well, let's see, west and then west-northwest, I'm sorry and so we just stood there and it flew above us it just no not flew excuse me floated it didn't make a sound I would estimate 150 feet at least from one edge of the triangle to the next there was a flashing red light in the front and two white solid lights on the back edge of each triangle point it
It was awesome.
You know, I was in the Air Force.
I know what an aircraft is, and I know what aerodynamic flight is, and I know what it takes to power an aircraft.
This thing floated at a very slow speed, directly above our heads, and we stood there, and both of us watched it float directly across the valley until finally it was out of sight.
It was a remarkable story, and it was a couple of weeks later.
Somebody sent me a newspaper clipping from my very own paper here in Pahrump saying the Air Force had many inquiries, and yes, they admitted there was a secret mission involving a C-130 that flew low over the Pahrump Valley, and that was the totality of the explanation from Nellis Air Force Base.
Now, that's an insult.
I flew C-130s.
It would have rattled my bones at that distance.
There's no question about what I saw.
I saw it.
My wife saw it.
I put her on the air, made her go on the air, and backed me up.
Well, this last week, I talked to two other individuals refusing to go on the air, both who live here in Pahrump, who confirmed that night they also saw it.
But I'm telling you, that's what I saw.
Glenn, are you there?
unidentified
I'm here.
art bell
Okay.
That's what I saw.
There was no mistaking it.
It was not a light in the sky.
It was a lot more than that.
It was close to me.
Either it's technology that we don't even have a hint about, or it's something from someplace else.
I wouldn't know either way.
But have you heard reports of that?
glenn campbell
I'm in the same position that you are.
I just don't know.
Now, the point that I would focus in on is not the object itself, but the reaction from the Air Force.
Now, if the Air Force is telling you what essentially sounds like a cover story, that certainly implies an Air Force involvement.
Correct.
And that's the sort of thing you can track down much more easily than you can track down the object itself.
If you're out in the desert and you see something unusual, what can you do?
But if there's a human link to it, that's the sort of thing you can explore.
art bell
Well, I've never seen any UFOs before.
Oh, I've seen lights.
I guess most of us have.
But, Glenn, this was close.
It was very close.
There was no mistaking then nor now what I saw, as I described to you, close enough so that, you know, you could see the actual substance of the craft.
And it was just a dead triangle.
It couldn't have been an F-117 or anything like that.
And it was gigantic.
Now, doggone it, I saw it.
I've never seen any other.
And I don't know if I would like to see one again.
unidentified
But I...
glenn campbell
Yeah, it certainly changed you.
I can sense this.
art bell
Yeah, it did.
It did change me.
It did.
Because I now know we're either generations ahead of where we say we are right now or we're being visited.
One of the two is true.
glenn campbell
And the whole thing that really fascinates me and how I differ from others is that I'm not looking at the object in the sky.
I am more interested in you and your reaction and how humanity reacts to this whole phenomenon.
Because I think this is key to whether and how the truth comes out is how we are willing to respond to it.
art bell
How...
glenn campbell
Whether humanity has the maturity to respond to it and absorb it into our worldview.
art bell
My guess is no.
glenn campbell
No?
unidentified
Yeah.
glenn campbell
Well, we've absorbed bigger things, I think, like world wars are certainly upsetting to humanity.
art bell
Yes, but they're not upsetting to religious belief.
glenn campbell
Well, I guess my analogy would be to an island kingdom that has had no contact with white people or with outside culture.
And this culture, this new explorer's land on the shore of this island, it may be a traumatic experience.
experience but the the islanders do adjust uh provided they're not overwhelmed by the the invaders um i don't nothing i see indicates that the aliens are in are evil in any way or are out to take us over they obviously if they had that that intention they would have done that long ago they would have blown us out of the solar system let's uh center back on area 51.
art bell
In your Area 51 viewer's guide, right on, I don't know, page one or page two, page one, I think, it says, Warning, Freedom Ridge and Whitesides are now closed.
And you warn people, you go up into these areas and you're going to get arrested.
Is that right?
glenn campbell
It's a great danger because the border is very, very poorly marked.
These, by the way, are the hills that people used to climb up to look down on the secret base.
What you saw in the distance looked like an average Air Force base.
It's not much different from looking down on Nellis Air Force Base.
art bell
Well, except that it's not supposed to be there.
glenn campbell
It doesn't exist.
art bell
So you're not allowed to go to this particular viewing point anymore, and if you do, what happens?
glenn campbell
Oh, you'd be arrested.
I don't think you'd be shot, but you'd certainly get the full treatment.
They would not be kind.
And it results generally in a $600 fine.
art bell
$600?
glenn campbell
Well, you can afford it, perhaps.
we can just give it a try.
uh have you i i take it that uh during the time it was legal for you to do so uh you have well i've certainly been up there uh hundred a hundred times perhaps and never seen anything uh ex aside from some big aircraft which perhaps i wasn't wasn't uh supposed to see uh This is, among other things, Area 51 has been where we keep our Russian arsenal, the aircraft that we have purloined in various ways from the Soviets.
Our Red Hat Squadron, as it's called.
art bell
No, I didn't know that.
glenn campbell
Oh, yes.
Well, there are a lot of different earthly projects going on at Area 51, enough to account for the number of people who go out there.
The MiGs, certainly UAVs, this is unmanned aerial vehicles designed for reconnaissance.
They have been tested there.
Various small weaponry might be tested there.
And certainly stealth aircraft like the B-2 continue to return there for various forms of radar testing.
art bell
There is another, I'm trying to give them the practical now.
There is a place you can go for those who don't feel they can afford the $600 called Tickaboo Peak.
Is that correct?
glenn campbell
There remain a number of distant mountains that you can climb to, again, see the base, but from a much greater distance.
This would be 25 miles, which across the desert, you can still see the base, but you're going to need a pretty good telescope to see very much.
Being Pickaboo Peak, for example, is an 8,000-foot peak.
It's a strenuous two-hour hike to get to it.
You can't get there in the winter when it's snowed in.
But if you're willing to take this hike, you can see the base.
And it might be a better viewpoint in some ways than the Freedom Ridge viewpoint, because whenever anyone was in Freedom Ridge, the guards would report right back that someone's there.
And as they say, watchdog goes into effect, meaning that they will call off secret aircraft and suppress operations while you're there.
art bell
So they've annexed that now, correct?
In other words, you can no longer go up there.
And one can only wonder if operations, really secret stuff, or even the saucers, have been transferred elsewhere.
Then why are they doing that?
glenn campbell
You can certainly speculate endlessly about where the saucers have been transferred, if they have been.
Again, Area 51, the base itself, the physical hangars that you see in these photos, this has always been exclusively a conventional base.
Bob Lazar says that.
He says there is nothing at Area 51.
He saw his stuff south of Area 51.
Now, as for whether the stuff has been moved, sure, you can move something secret at any time, but you can't wipe out a history of a place.
You can't wipe out all traces of it.
And this is the sort of thing that will continue to stay in the minds of workers, for example.
There'll continue to be paperwork involved in it.
And that's the sort of thing that I'm trying to track down.
art bell
All right.
For the less adventuresome, I doubt I'd hike up for a couple of hours.
There is the black mailbox.
And where is that?
And on what road?
And if people wanted to find it, go to the infamous black mailbox.
You might tell them about that.
glenn campbell
Well, this is, I call it a sacred site, a religious site.
There is a mailbox, a rancher's mailbox on this lonely Highway 375, where because this is the only landmark in a very long stretch of empty highway, this is where the UFO believers gathered to look for UFOs.
I personally try to stay away from that because it's become such a social center.
And I believe that the government, if it is at all wise, would not put on a display for people who just happen to show up.
But this is the place where the true believers go to look for UFOs.
And as I say, when they're looking for them, they see them because there's a lot of lights in the sky that could be ambiguous.
art bell
When is a good time to go?
I'm sure you get that question all the time.
glenn campbell
Again and again, and I come right back to the fact.
I think that the moment that Bob Lazar came forward with his story saying that the UFOs are real, I think they would have changed their operations in such a way that they're not going to put them on display for tourists.
So I think that no time is a good time.
It's a fascinating area.
It's a great place to gaze at the stars because you have no light pollution up there, and you can see things for 100 miles that you just can't see in the big city.
But I don't think you should go there expecting to see UFOs.
art bell
What kind of security people, I mean, if you violated this, went up to Freedom Ridge, had a camera with you, and so forth, and they closed in on you, are these plainclothes people who meet you sort of security service or what can tell us about that?
glenn campbell
These are camouflage-clad security guys with no name tags, no insignia.
art bell
Really?
glenn campbell
The best information is that they work for a government contractor, E, G, and G, but they will not identify themselves.
They will not identify who they work for.
And if you try to approach them, they'll certainly run away.
It's a very curious phenomenon.
However, if you stick your big toe across that line, you're suddenly going to find a whole lot of them surrounding you, and they will not be gentle.
Generally, this means face down in the dirt, and you're probably there for an hour or so until they call the local sheriff, who eventually hauls you off and charges you.
unidentified
All right.
art bell
I'm a scanner nut.
I love scanners.
And I've got the BC-2500 XLT unit in Vercat.
It has the advantage of covering lots of military frequencies.
And I notice that in your book, you list the military frequencies up in that area.
Even one called Dreamland Control.
Are those accurate frequencies?
glenn campbell
They are probably not accurate as printed in the book because they were changed recently.
Whenever the frequencies get published, of course, they change.
But many of these frequencies are in the clear.
You can pick up the Groomleg Tower, for example, or This Dreamland control frequency, which would be controlling a military aircraft in and out.
art bell
Do you know what the new one is?
glenn campbell
I'm not.
Well, there's some that I simply don't talk about because the moment I say them on the air, they're not going to be valid anymore.
art bell
It's true.
I'm going to have to get you at a quiet moment.
Hold on just one moment.
We're talking with, and soon you'll be able to, Glenn Campbell, who is probably the world's expert on Area 51.
He'll be back in a moment.
North American Trading has done a very wench in the unit of Darecat XLT 2500, 2500 XLT.
You might check with Bob Crane and see if he's got any of those in stock.
Like some UHF or VHF antennas.
And it says Area 51 Research Center.
Now, I'm guessing, but if somebody came by Rachel and they're interested in this sort of thing, I'll bet you've had 10 million knocks on that door, haven't you?
glenn campbell
An awful lot, a lot of fascinating people.
I'm not there most of the time.
However, at the present, I'm living most of the time in Vegas.
But this has resulted in an awful lot of contacts, just being known for this.
And my job is to pull together this information and make it available to others.
art bell
And so you do take time out and talk to people who stop by and see you?
glenn campbell
I consider myself sort of a network, a networker.
And my job is simply to connect people together and pull information together from various people.
And I certainly talk to people as much as I can.
art bell
So even though you weren't, while you were living there, getting direct sightings, you just felt you were in the right place to be gathering information about it.
glenn campbell
It was the center of the universe.
art bell
The center of the universe.
Where do you go from here, Glenn?
In other words, in continuing trying to research this, what's next?
glenn campbell
My job, as I see it, is to build a base of information.
I do this principally on the internet, building up my section on the World Wide Web so that any information that I have that comes into me becomes available to anyone else who wants it.
art bell
Boy, it is a wonderful resource, isn't it?
glenn campbell
It is.
art bell
All right.
Well, I'm going to, what I'm going to do is, when we get back, I'll let you give out your web address if you would like.
And we'll also tell people how to get.
And there's a lot of good information in the Area 51 Viewer's Guide.
It tells you how to get there, what to watch out for, what to be careful of, what you might see, where you might best see it, how to avoid getting arrested.
All kinds of cool things about Area 51.
That is the topic, Glenn Campbell, my guest.
You're listening to Dreamland.
unidentified
Dreamland.
art bell
All right, listen carefully to the numbers.
We're about to open the phone lines.
unidentified
From the Kingdom of Nine, you're here in Dreamland with Art Bell.
To participate in the program, call toll-free 1-800-618-8255.
1-800-618-8255.
First time callers, area code 702-727-1222.
Or the wildcard line at 702-727-1295.
This is the CBC Radio Network.
art bell
Free Radicals.
Free Radicals.
Bab Guns.
They enter your body through the air, the water.
Now to Glenn Campbell, a facts from Dick in Honolulu, Glenn.
Great show.
Please tell Glenn thanks for his great Desert Rat Online newsletter.
It is very well written and it's entertaining.
Please ask Glenn to tell us more about, is it Jared, the alleged worker like Bob Lazar, who tells of working on the UFO simulator?
Just before we do that, give out your web address for the internet junkies out there and tell them how to get your Area 51 viewers guide.
glenn campbell
Okay, the web address is I can give out this long address, but if anyone doesn't write it down, you can usually find my page simply by looking for any UFO page and jumping through it to find mine.
art bell
Rather than giving the actual address, what, I think that's a better way to go.
Give us a key word when you get to the web search.
glenn campbell
Well, certainly, you can search for UFOs.
That will bring you to a major UFO page, and from there, there are links to my page.
This is the wonder of the World Wide Web.
You don't have to remember these addresses.
art bell
Somewhere in your web address is Glen Campbell or what?
glenn campbell
You will find the...
art bell
There you go.
glenn campbell
There you are, and you will find me.
art bell
All right, Desert Rat.
glenn campbell
And from there, you will find all sorts of fascinating information about Area 51, including stack issues of the newsletter.
available for free.
art bell
God, it's such a wonderful...
Available for free?
glenn campbell
That's the way the web works.
Information was meant to be free.
art bell
Area 51 Viewer's Guide, that is not free.
You published that, correct?
glenn campbell
No, that is a published, a self-published book.
It is available for $15 from the Area 51 Research Center in Rachel, Nevada, 89001.
You don't even need a street address because the postman knows me.
And you'll have to enclose $4 additional for priority mail or airmail to Canada.
So that's $19 total.
art bell
If you want a priority or airmail?
glenn campbell
No, that's the only way we send it out.
art bell
Okay, so the total then is $19.
glenn campbell
$19 plus a dollar tax if you're in Nevada.
art bell
How would you sum up the Area 51 Viewer's Guide?
Kind of the way I did, as though it leads you around all the pitfalls.
glenn campbell
It is basically a base of information.
This is recording basically the first year of my stay in Rachel.
Basically, I collected geographical information.
I collected references, all the printed references that I could find to the area, and those all went into the book.
It's a bit paradoxical, in fact, because I'm not saying that you're going to find UFOs There.
I say this is an interesting place to visit just for its own sake.
It's an interesting desert locale and for historical reasons.
But the viewer's guide is a little bit more than that.
It is a base of information that may get you started in your own research into Area 51.
art bell
That's good.
All right, I'm going to ask you a question that you really don't have to answer, but I am curious, and then we'll get on to this other question.
You've had all these people knock on your door during the time that you were up there a lot and in contact with you.
What percentage of the people that you've connected with would you consider to be missing a couple of cards from the deck?
glenn campbell
Well, there's a whole spectrum there.
There are some.
I have been visited by a number of aliens, space aliens in fact, that will tell me that they come from all different star systems, from Draconis, from Pathleades, from various planets here in our solar system.
And my inclination is to say they've got a screw loose, but I stop short of that.
I say that really how I evaluate a person is on their human skills, and most of these aliens don't have those human skills.
But there is a great spectrum.
There's very reliable people who I can tell after talking with shortly that what they're saying has great credibility.
There's the rest of the majority of people, for example, who report things to me, I have to take with a grain of salt because I don't know them.
I don't understand their mental processes.
This is something you have to get involved with as a UFO researcher.
You have to understand the people that you are talking to and how their perception works.
art bell
Well, that was very diplomatic.
Would you say 50-50 or?
glenn campbell
As I say, well, let's say there's 2% who are real loons, and 2% who are extremely reliable, who talk with extreme precision, and everyone else fits into sort of a gray area.
Good information can come from anywhere in the spectrum.
You just have to be willing to filter out whatever noise that this person is producing internally.
art bell
All right, now, Jared, whoever Jared is.
glenn campbell
Okay, that's pronounced J-Rod.
art bell
J-Rod, I'm sorry.
glenn campbell
This is a former government worker who I've reported on in my Desert Rat newsletter.
He is 70 years old.
He claims to have worked in essentially the same type of program that another aspect of the same program that Lazar was supposedly involved with.
art bell
Well, now this is really important.
I had never heard this, and this is cooperation then for Lazar.
How well do their stories mesh?
glenn campbell
They don't mesh exactly, but they mesh well enough to say, well, if this is real, then they reflect upon each other.
But like all these stories, I stop short of saying, it's completely real.
I'm at the stage of I'm investigating something.
I want to collect the facts.
I want to see how the facts mesh together before I make a judgment.
And I think that if you collect and organize the data right, the solution will show itself.
You don't have to make a decision.
You don't have to force any belief upon it.
Anyway, I can tell you a little bit about this man's story.
He claims to have worked with, to have designed certain components of a simulator, which a flight simulator trained pilots to fly flying disks, which we have reproduced from alien technology.
No kidding.
art bell
No kidding.
That really is interesting.
glenn campbell
A flight simulator.
Again, anyone can tell a story.
art bell
Well, okay, now comes the assessment of J-Rod, is it?
You learn, you talk to this human being.
He's in his 70s.
How does he strike you?
glenn campbell
He strikes me as any engineer in his 70s, who certainly has the technical ability, like Lazar.
I have not necessarily tried to verify his educational background.
art bell
Okay, but not necessarily in the 2% of loonies, certainly.
glenn campbell
No, I would regard him as the 2% of people who are reliable.
art bell
Well, that's pretty strong.
glenn campbell
But again, I talk to him just as another human being.
I'm interested in the story.
I'm interested in collecting the story, working out the details, and seeing how they mesh with other stories that I know.
And I call this folklore.
I call this collecting like you collect an old rancher's story or anybody else's story.
You want to understand the story first of all and collect its many details.
Like Lazar's story, it's a story that's rich in details.
And it goes back to these crashes, these alleged UFO crashes that took place in the 40s and 50s.
art bell
Roswell, etc.
glenn campbell
Roswell, etc.
Maybe there's some that we don't know about that were effectively covered up.
If any of that is true, if we recovered hardware, what happened then?
And this is where J. Rod's story picks up.
He says that, in fact, there were, we did make, we picked up hardware, we picked up bodies, and we also picked up a few live ones, a few live aliens.
And these resulted, this was the basic story that resulted in a portion of our government having contact with the aliens.
So it makes a great story, true or false.
It makes a great story that could make its way into Hollywood at some point, you know.
But this is the sort of thing I pursue, and I pursue it by a different tact than most people would say.
Most people would say the moment you've mentioned a story like that, well, have you checked his credentials?
Have you nailed down everything about his past?
And I've done some basic work there, but no, I haven't.
I look at the man himself and say, is this somebody I trust?
Do I understand how his mind works?
art bell
Why did he come forward?
Did he tell you that?
glenn campbell
Again, another very interesting thing.
unidentified
He says he's been given permission to talk.
art bell
Really?
glenn campbell
Now, what does that mean?
Does that mean that you're not going to be able to do that?
art bell
Well, I would presume that even Glenn Campbell must wonder: well, does that mean that Glenn Campbell is going to be used as a flashpoint to disseminate disinformation or just to muddy the waters out there somehow?
Or does it mean that Glenn Campbell has been appointed to disseminate information about what's really going on?
glenn campbell
Well, in either case, I don't believe that I was chosen specifically.
I think I sort of stumbled upon this person through other contacts.
But we've hit it off.
We get along all right.
I see him every now and then.
art bell
Is he willing to go public beyond his communication with you?
glenn campbell
No, and this is the point where we give him this name of J-Rod.
That is not his real name.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
glenn campbell
And it's interesting, we're not trying to protect him here from the government.
art bell
I know.
Listen, I don't blame him.
In his position, I wouldn't do it either.
The press would descend on him.
Life would change.
glenn campbell
And Bob Lazar is the best proof of that.
Suddenly, as soon as Bob Lazar came forward with his story, suddenly people were camping on his front lawn and saw him as the new Messiah.
art bell
Yes, I know.
glenn campbell
And that is the problem.
As I say, the problem, I think, with the whole UFO field is not government disinformation.
It's not the government muddying the waters.
It is the UFO believers muddying the waters themselves.
art bell
Oh, I agree.
Stand by just a second, Glenn.
We'll come right back to you.
And then the phone.
By the way, the east of the Rockies line is 1-800-8255033.
We're going to take calls in a moment.
I promise.
1-800-8255-033.
Dreamland talking about Dreamland.
If you want to All right.
How can we help you?
unidentified
Well, I just wanted to check if I could get through.
glenn campbell
You can.
unidentified
You did?
art bell
You mean that's the whole purpose?
Just to see if you could get through?
glenn campbell
Any question at all?
unidentified
Shoot.
I heard about that jet that they were making.
Like I could go over how many miles is that?
glenn campbell
Oh, you're talking about the Aurora.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
All right, that's a good one.
What about it?
Is the Aurora real?
glenn campbell
Ah, there's another vague UFO story.
I don't know if it's real.
What we're talking about is a hypersonic aircraft, presumably the fastest in the world, anywhere from Mach 4 to Mach 7 that was supposedly under development by the Air Force to replace the SR-71, which was mysteriously retired earlier in the 90s.
The question is, does the government have such a plane?
And to this day, I do not know.
There was certainly a project in the works to build such a plane, whether it got off the ground, whether it was flown at Groom Lake, I just don't know.
art bell
Would you think it would represent the next logical generation?
glenn campbell
It would, but what makes me skeptical of this is if we're talking about solely human technology, this is something that's incredibly expensive.
Think of all the billions and billions that were poured into the stealth bomber, for example.
A hypersonic aircraft is going to be just as expensive, and billions and billions that has to come out of a budget someplace.
art bell
While we're on the subject of budgets and very expensive aircraft, the report on the B-2 the other day was pretty pathetic from the GAO.
It said the B-2 failed tests regarding whether it would be shot down, failed tests regarding whether it was even stealth, in other words, it can be seen on radar, and generally failed most of its tests, according to the GAO.
glenn campbell
This is an indictment of how our black budget aircraft development works.
It is the sort of thing that, you know, all UFOs aside, the reason that you cannot let the government do anything it wants with money.
It has to be held accountable as the project is proceeding to make sure that the taxpayer gets the bang for its buck and these billions that we're spending.
I think this is a symptom of exactly the sort of thing that we're trying to change here, to get more accountability.
art bell
Of course, on the other hand, the F-117 is generally considered to be a big success.
glenn campbell
Indeed.
But did the fact that it was secret, the fact that it was non-existent, was that really necessary?
Did that give us the edge?
art bell
Getting down to the nitty-gritty, well, the F-117 certainly has, and did in the Iraq War.
glenn campbell
I think could Saddam have reproduced it?
art bell
Well, I don't know.
Getting down to the nitty-gritty, do you think Freedom Ridge should be available to the public, that the government was wrong to close it up?
Or do you understand the need for national security when it comes to developing aircraft?
glenn campbell
This is always a very delicate issue.
There's certainly a need for secrecy in defense.
It is probably the most essential element.
You don't want to tell your potential adversaries just what you have, just what your troop strength is.
But there is also a need for accountability, and there is this constant push and pull, this balance that has to be struck.
What I am saying is that there has to be another force.
The military is always pushing for more secrecy.
There has to be another force that is pushing for greater openness.
art bell
And you are the openness force.
glenn campbell
That is my job, like an advocate for a certain position.
art bell
Well, may the force be with you then.
Wildcard line, you're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
Hi.
Hello.
unidentified
Hi.
I'm calling from KSFO in San Francisco.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
About three years ago, I went out and videotaped a thing at the Little Elliot Inn.
It was a meeting put on by Norio Hayakawa and Gary Schultz.
Bill Cooper showed up.
John Luh showed up.
Bob Lazar showed up.
And then a group of us went out and hiked up to, I guess it was Freedom Ridge.
It was about five, maybe ten miles away.
glenn campbell
Yeah, that was Whiteside at the time.
That was before Freedom Ridge was discovered.
unidentified
Oh, Whiteside, okay.
And we sat up there and just watched things come and go all night.
You know, different aircraft.
It was all pretty conventional.
We watched the Jeeps come out to the edge of the fence, and every time we got a little too loud, it was obvious They knew we were there.
We saw Old Faithful come in about five in the morning.
The interesting thing to me was that the meeting itself at the Little Alien, one of the big things they discussed was the possibility of genetic experiments going on underground at Area 51.
And I'm wondering if Lazar or any of the other people you've run into have alluded to it.
I know John Lear has a little bit.
glenn campbell
Let me ask you something.
When you were recording this event and they were discussing these genetic experiments, what was Bob Lazar doing?
Was he sitting in the audience?
unidentified
He was sitting in the audience, just observing.
Yes.
glenn campbell
Now, knowing Bob, I would think that he would regard that as pretty ridiculous.
Bob is a very nuts and bolts guy.
He'll say, this is what I experienced, and this is all I know.
art bell
Right, and he refuses.
I'm one of the lucky few that has been able to interview Bob Lazar.
And you're quite correct.
The moment anybody gets off into the deep end, Bob will stop and say, look, I don't know anything about that.
I don't even want to speculate about it.
Here's what I did.
As you said, he's a nuts and bolts kind of guy.
To me, that's always made him quite believable.
glenn campbell
you sort of stay away from these social UFO, I don't want to use the word cults, but I think I want to stay away, separate what is the evidence from what is the interpretation of the evidence.
It's either false evidence or true evidence.
But upon this, people have piled their whole belief systems and piled on their whole baggage that they want to believe, the things that they want to believe.
And I think Bob is right in just sticking with the facts.
But you've got a million different interpretations of those facts that are really muddying the waters more than anything else.
art bell
It really brushes up against almost for some being a religion, doesn't it?
In other words, they want to believe in this so much.
glenn campbell
Absolutely.
This is no different than humans have been all through the generations.
They want to believe certain things, and they will believe those things, regardless of what the evidence is.
art bell
An article of faith.
And that's just like a religion.
And that's not far from a cult.
glenn campbell
Indeed.
art bell
And there are some out there who say they are ufologists who might almost be thought of as cult leaders.
glenn campbell
That's right.
But a cult leader can only work if there are willing followers, and there certainly are plenty of willing followers.
This is something that Area 51 has taught me, that there are people, there are certainly skeptics out there, people who will disbelieve no matter what.
But there's also the true believers who will believe no matter what, and they will believe anything connected with UFOs.
art bell
All right, Glenn, stay right there.
We'll be right back to you.
I have seen one.
Of that, I know it.
It gives me no sort of faith in anything, but I do know what I saw.
We'll be back with more from the high desert in a moment.
unidentified

art bell
The only number we didn't give you there is the East of the Rockies number, which is 1-800-825-5033.
1-800-825-5033.
My guest is Glenn Campbell.
He'll be back in a moment.
I'm telling you, grab a pencil.
I'm going to give you some important information right now.
As you know, the edition of the newsletter about to be mailed to you has in it the five incredible Roswell photographs by exclusive permission of Ray Santilli.
And those are coming out here shortly on their way to you.
Now, second item.
The Hailbop comet coming in, which I call Bebop.
Big thing out there beyond the orbit of Jupiter.
We have got a photograph of it, and it's a beauty.
It's going in the next newsletter.
Actually, there are two ways.
Campbell.
Glenn, are you there?
unidentified
I'm here.
art bell
All right.
Let's go out east of the Rockies and say good evening.
You're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
unidentified
Hello.
art bell
Hi, where are you?
unidentified
This is Scott in Denver.
art bell
Okay, Scott, you're going to have to speak up.
You're a little weak.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
How's that?
art bell
Better.
Go ahead.
unidentified
Yeah, I wanted to ask Glenn if there's been any kind of sightings or anything seen up in Ponapa.
glenn campbell
There are sightings everywhere in the West.
The whole question is, how do you distinguish the good ones from the bad ones?
unidentified
Yeah, well, just, you know, similar to what Area 51, you know, people have been seeing there.
glenn campbell
Well, like Art Bell's sighting.
You hear that popping up every now and then, a triangular craft, like in Belgium.
Tonopa, I have not heard of anything specifically recently.
Okay.
Now, the Tonopa, the town, and Tonopa, the base, are two different things.
There is another semi-secret base, not much unlike Groom Lake, near the town of Tonopa.
It's called the Tonopa Test Range, and that's also been a place for the testing of top-secret aircraft.
There's speculation about what must be going on there.
Many of the same aircraft that would be tested at Groom would also be tested there.
Plenty of rumors, but no substantial facts.
art bell
All right, West of the Rockies.
You're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
Hi.
unidentified
Hi, this is Brendan from Scottsdale, Arizona.
art bell
Okay, turn your radio Off, Brendan.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
And go ahead.
unidentified
I'm, believe it or not, I'm working on the S4 UFO as we speak, and I'm kind of curious as far as I almost, I really don't want to question.
art bell
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
You mean the model of it?
unidentified
Yes, Bob Laser's model.
art bell
What Bob Lazar?
That's very important you specify, otherwise, we're going to sit here thinking you're working on a saucer.
unidentified
Yeah, oh, well, I am.
Technically, it's plastic, though.
art bell
All right, all right.
unidentified
Well, in the top section of the model, there is no account for what goes in that section.
And I question, you know, why would, you know, directly anyone let someone see this aircraft and not give them access to that area?
I mean, obviously he's in a top-secret, you know, form as far as he's gone to the highest levels of security to see this aircraft exist.
glenn campbell
You're referring to the turrets of the very top part of the saucer, I imagine.
Yes, yes.
Well, just being a top secret, having top secret clearance doesn't give you access to everything.
Things are top-secret compartmentalized, which means that you have access only to the absolute minimum that you need to see.
This is true in all top secret projects.
There's no sense in you knowing about that turret.
Bob Lazar knowing about that turret as he has no business being there.
It has no technical need to be there.
art bell
In other words, it would be risking knowledge for no gain, and they don't do that.
glenn campbell
They don't do that.
Now, the other source, J-Rod, says that he has seen what is up there in that turret in the model that he was working with, and it's a navigation system.
There are little windows along the side of that turret, and it's used to sight on stars or whatever.
art bell
And this is exactly how information is gathered, isn't it, Glenn?
In other words, a piece here, a piece there, and you piece it all together.
glenn campbell
You put it all together into a big puzzle, and if you do, certain inconsistencies will come up if the stories are in fact false.
Or if they're true, you see a much richer set of connections.
You see, reality is different from a lie in that reality has a lot of rich connections with other parts of reality.
And this is how you tell when someone's telling the truth or someone is lying.
art bell
It's interesting.
In a way, you're using the government's own method of making determinations against them.
glenn campbell
Well, this is standard logic is what it is.
art bell
All right.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
unidentified
Hi.
Hi, all right.
Hi, Glenn.
I'd like to talk about the alias because I'm pretty much convinced that the UFOs are either U.S. or maybe possibly Russian military planes.
So in the Bible, in the apocalypse, of the Catholic Bible, Psalms chapter, I mean, chapter 16.
art bell
No, no, no, no, we don't.
No, no, no.
Sorry.
We don't allow that on this program.
Thanks for the call.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
Hi.
unidentified
How you doing?
art bell
I'm doing.
unidentified
Is this Art Bell?
art bell
It is.
glenn campbell
Glenn Campbell, yes.
unidentified
I'm so glad I got through.
art bell
Where are you?
unidentified
I'm in Nevada.
art bell
Nevada?
All right.
unidentified
In Carson City.
I was very, um...
Okay.
art bell
Everybody has to do that or they get confused because there is a delay.
All right, go ahead.
unidentified
There we go.
First, I wanted to say that I am enjoying your programming very much.
And I, too, have seen a UFO.
Also, I'd like to ask you, I watched the news very carefully for a few days after that interview with Mr. Scallion.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
And I never heard a thing about the earthquake in Chile.
art bell
Okay.
This doesn't relate to my guest, does it?
unidentified
Not really.
art bell
Okay.
Well, the earthquake did occur.
unidentified
Yeah, I'm sure it did.
art bell
You can check USGS figures, and you'll hear about it.
Any question for my guests?
glenn campbell
Shoot, anything you want.
unidentified
Anything I want.
Okay.
I have seen UFO a long time ago, and I was wondering how much activity there was over Nevada at this time.
art bell
Well, that's fair.
How much activity is there, Glenn?
glenn campbell
My personal sense.
I mean, no one is really collecting all the sighting reports nationally because there's just so many of them, and there's so much work to be done in distinguishing the good from the bad.
My personal sense is that, yes, there's a lot of sightings in Nevada, but there's a lot of sightings all over the country.
art bell
Are there more here, though, arguably, than elsewhere?
glenn campbell
That's a good question.
I'm in Nevada, and this is all I'm exposed to, so I can't say.
I just don't know.
art bell
All right.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
Hello?
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
Yes, turn your radio off and tell us where you're calling from, please.
glenn campbell
Okay.
My name is Mike, and I'm calling from Lexington, Kentucky.
art bell
Lexington, Kentucky.
Okay, Mike.
glenn campbell
Yes, I'm a little bit confused on the secrecy aspect of this.
What can you legally view and not get into trouble?
Can you take a hot air balloon up with a telescope and look?
Well, confused.
As I say, there are these mountaintops that are very distant, but technically you can view the base from a legal vantage point by climbing up to the top of an 8,000-foot mountain.
art bell
Well, his question is a good one, though.
Suppose you went just outside the airspace that they have closed off, and you took a hot air balloon up.
glenn campbell
Yes, you could do that, but you'll have to be a good distance away, 13 miles away, before you'll hit the unrestricted airspace.
And yes, you could do that.
You can fly a small plane.
People have done this.
Fly a small Cessna along the border.
However, in a Cessna or in a balloon, you're dealing with a lot of shaking, a lot of forces.
And generally, it's not going to be very satisfying, especially if you have to use a telephoto lens to see anything at the base.
No one's tried it, though.
No one has really done anything seriously in this realm.
art bell
All right.
So there you go, Kentucky.
Maybe you'll be the first.
First-time caller line, you're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
Hi.
unidentified
Hi.
art bell
Where are you?
unidentified
St. Paul, Minnesota.
art bell
Okay, good.
Welcome.
unidentified
Thank you.
art bell
That's it.
You're on the air.
No screeners.
Go ahead.
unidentified
Okay.
My question to Glenn is What he thinks about Phil Class, some people feel as though he is actually a tool of the government in the fact that he refuses to believe in there is any kind of activity and is very adamant in saying the government is not hiding or covering up anything as far as UFOs.
art bell
Oh, it's a very good question.
And on the Larry King show the other night, once again, they brought forth the specter of Mr. Klass, who, Glenn, I would almost, I've had him on the show and we've done debates, I would almost put him in the category of the cult of non-believers.
glenn campbell
Indeed, I know him fairly well.
We exchanged newsletters, in fact.
And I find his newsletter very, very interesting and very amusing.
But Mr. Klass, I don't believe that he is a government agent.
I believe that he is pursuing a viewpoint that he believes in.
And his viewpoint excludes any human testimony.
It's saying that if a human told you that he saw a light in the sky or a human told you he was abducted by aliens, you have to discount it because humans are unreliable.
That is his basic viewpoint.
And it has a certain validity.
You have to understand how this man thinks.
And I think that intellectually you have to deal with his objections.
They are generally well-grounded.
art bell
What about same category named Carl Sagan?
glenn campbell
Carl Sagan, I don't know as much about as I know about Phil.
Carl Sagan has just seems to be a sour puss in my view.
But I can't comment too much on his personality.
I just don't know him.
art bell
All right.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
Hi.
Hi.
Where are you, sir?
unidentified
I'm in St. Paul, Minnesota.
art bell
Oh, another one, St. Paul.
All right.
Welcome.
Now, turn your radio off.
unidentified
Yeah, let me get it.
art bell
Yeah, right away.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
Okay.
Your first name?
unidentified
Bob.
art bell
Okay, Bob.
What's your question?
unidentified
Well, it's kind of a question.
may have talked about it, but there was a book that came out, The Philadelphia Experiment, and in it they talked about a physicist or a researcher named Brown, and evidently he had developed...
glenn campbell
Townsend Brown?
unidentified
Ooh?
glenn campbell
Townsend Brown?
unidentified
Townsend, yeah, that's the one.
And he had developed some kind of a capacitor, which evidently would defy, somehow reduce gravity or chew up gravity waves or something like that.
And, you know, this sounds like a real propulsion method that could be used.
I mean, you just need a bunch of energy is all it is.
It's just basically a capacitor, a positive and a negative plate.
And, you know, this sounds like one way to simply do this.
Now, I don't know if you've run into that or not.
Oh, really?
glenn campbell
That there is, well, I'm not a physicist.
I'm afraid I don't fully understand it.
But there's something to do with the electrical field around the graph that somehow manipulates gravity.
Bob Lazar also talks about these gravity amplifiers.
I think that if I were a little bit smarter in this field, I could integrate it together a little bit better.
But it's not something to be completely dismissed, that maybe electricity, there's some aspect of electrical fields that we don't understand that could affect gravity.
unidentified
Well, I think the interesting thing about it is that evidently Brown could never get anyone to buy his invention, but supposedly, and energy was a problem, supposedly he went over to the French and he attached some big long, for want of a better term, like an extension cord and plugged in a lot of power to this thing and they actually got it going off the ground and kind of flying around, you know, remotely on this kind of this tether or this umbilical cord.
So I think the thing about Lazar, if I understand, is he says that there's this element from some other planet that produces this tremendous amount of energy and that seems to be the limiting factor.
art bell
What element was that?
glenn campbell
Element 115.
art bell
115.
Yeah, that's right.
glenn campbell
Indeed, again, true or false, he picked a very good element to get involved here, because this is a gray area where we don't quite know what these elements do because we've never produced them here.
art bell
We continue, however, to occasionally hear news of development of a new element headed toward the 115 number.
glenn campbell
Indeed, but there's an awful lot of energy has to be put into this reaction to get those elements.
When we were talking about element 112, I guess, which might be the latest, you have to produce, you have to dump tons and tons of energy into your cyclotron or whatever you're producing this with to get even a few atoms of this item.
art bell
Of 112, right.
glenn campbell
It's very unstable when it's produced.
art bell
That I've also heard.
All right, hold on for a second, Glenn.
Fascinating area.
Nevertheless, we have reached 112, so perhaps in three more, just three more quantum leaps to new elements, and we'll all be in saucers.
We'll be right back.
If you feel the desire to control your own work hours, your work environment, be your own boss, choose your own work computer.
Hello there.
No, I'm sorry you're not.
Hold on for just a second.
Let me redo this.
Now, West of the Rockies, you're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
unidentified
Yes, Glenn.
glenn campbell
Hi.
unidentified
You said any question?
Are you married?
No, I'm just kidding.
I think you're for excellence because right off the top, you said your job was to gather information and disseminate it so that we could hold them accountable and responsible.
My question is, do you have any knowledge of about eight or ten years ago, on a local show, they had a call from a fellow who had worked in the government and said they were doing some experimentations on cross-breeding of animals and humans?
art bell
Ooh, that's a weird one.
glenn campbell
That's just one level beyond where I want to be investigating.
I think there's a big world of the unknown out there.
I think I'm just trying to Take things one step at a time.
And I've heard no substantial stories along those lines.
I'm sort of trying to concentrate on nailing down even one or two UFOs, you know.
art bell
You like the nuts and bolts part.
glenn campbell
Yeah, I sort of follow the little Lazar gospel, quite frankly.
art bell
A little Lazar gospel.
All right, East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
Where are you?
unidentified
Oklahoma City.
art bell
Oklahoma City.
unidentified
All right.
My dad is very unemotional, and he's not into anything really except for teeth.
You know, he's a dentist.
But I asked him the other day, do you believe in UFOs?
And he said, well, I've seen one.
And I said, what?
And he said, well, when I was nine years old, when he lived in South Africa, he was laying under a tree and he saw a thing in the sky and it was going too fast.
So he knew, you know, they didn't have that back then.
He's 60.
He just turned 60.
And I said, well, what did it look like?
And he said, a cigar.
And it was going real fast.
And so anyways, the other day, about June or about June or so, I saw this round thing.
It was like, well, since I've started listening to your program, I've heard other people say these green fireballs.
And that's what I saw.
And so what are those?
art bell
All right.
Glenn, I've seen those too.
Big old green fireballs.
They can be seen easily from Las Vegas.
glenn campbell
You've got to realize, first of all, that a meteorite, when it enters the atmosphere, can be any color at all.
The color depends on the composition of the meteorite.
So if there's copper in it, I believe, then it's going to be green.
So you have to be able to distinguish that from something else.
You have to say, is this a meteorite before you say something else?
And, you know, like all of these things, I'm not there, so I can't really evaluate it.
The most I can do is record it and take down the particulars.
I've become rather discouraged with lights in the sky for that reason, that even if it's a good sighting, you just don't know what to do with it.
art bell
That's exactly right.
I generally tell people, oh, yes, the green fireballs, they are delivering the pods to Earth.
Glenn, hold on.
We'll be right back to you.
We're at the bottom of the hour.
Glenn Campbell, the world's expert, I guess, on Area 51, short of anybody in the military out here in civilian life.
Don't forget if you'd like to order our newsletter, you may do so 24 hours a day.
It is busy.
Please keep trying.
Yes, the comet photo is going to be in there.
Next issue.
The number is 1-800-917-4278.
1-800-917-4278 Mean and arbitrary to cut that lady off earlier who was about to quote scripture, but that is one rule.
I probably allow more discussion of religion than nearly any program on the air, but I do not allow quoting of scripture.
For that, we rely on church and Sunday or whatever day you choose, and that's fine.
But we don't do that here.
And the other rule is no bad language and one call per program.
Observing all those rules will get along fine.
Now, the east of the Rockies line, the only one not given in a little phone number bump there, is 1-800-825-5033.
1-800-825-5033.
If you're East of the Rockies, toll-free.
Now, a quick word about Linda Howe.
You heard Linda Howe much earlier in the program.
If you want to know more about her and what she does, listen carefully.
unidentified
If you enjoy Dreamland's weekly news segments by Linda and first-hand eyewitnesses, Linda Moulton Howe's two books, An Alien Harvest and Glimpses of Other Realities, are acclaimed for their quality, depth, photographs, and drawings.
If you are interested in learning more about the mysterious animal mutilations, crop circles, UFO sightings, the human abduction syndrome, and government knowledge about these worldwide phenomena, you will enjoy these books and videos available directly from LMH Productions.
You can dial 1-800-707-9993 to order.
That's 1-800-707-9993.
art bell
Now, back to the man who knows about it, Glenn Campbell.
Glenn, are you there?
glenn campbell
I'm here.
art bell
Good.
Let's go east of the Rockies and say hi.
You're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
Where are you calling from, please?
unidentified
Vermont.
art bell
Vermont.
All right?
unidentified
Yes.
I have a question.
See, back in the early 70s, I used to be a paperboy, and I'd always read the paper, and there was a lot of things in the paper about the UFOs, and then all of a sudden it died.
I was wondering if Mr. Camill knows anything about that.
art bell
All right.
I'll broaden the question a little bit.
Glenn, it seems to go in great cycles, doesn't it?
glenn campbell
It does.
And I've been on a have observed the media firsthand.
I've seen, which is essentially a big blip in the media over Area 51.
And people are always saying this must be part of the government plan to release the information.
No, I don't believe that.
I believe that the media naturally goes through these cycles.
Interest naturally goes through cycles.
And once one large media organization jumps on a UFO story, then everybody else follows.
And then sooner or later we become satiated with that story, and it drops off for a while.
art bell
All right.
With stories like Roswell and this comet and all the rest of it, we must be It seems like, would you say we're at sort of a high point in a cycle?
glenn campbell
Certainly we're in a high point and it could keep on going like this.
And certainly if any news got released, it would keep on going.
But anyone's guess as to where it's going to go now.
art bell
All right, very good.
Back to the lines.
You're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
Good evening.
Where are you calling from, please?
glenn campbell
I'm calling from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
art bell
Yes, sir.
glenn campbell
I just want to say, when one looks at statistically from the amount of stars in the universe, the concept that there is some other form of intelligent life in the planet is to me statistically highly likely.
I don't feel that there's like an impossibility that UFOs exist.
I think that it's quite possible by statistical analysis.
And I think that as far as the technological advancements that are going to be made, I think that they are predominantly made by the military.
They're predominantly discovered by the military, unfortunately, ever since the atomic weapons.
unidentified
And the public cannot look forward, will not be able to look forward to total openness on issues of leading-edge technology.
glenn campbell
That's all I've got to say.
Thank you.
art bell
All right.
Well, thank you for saying it.
I'd agree with that statement.
Would you?
glenn campbell
Well, sure.
Everyone says, you know, with all this million, million stars, there has to be intelligent life.
I don't think anyone in the world has much discomfort about that feeling.
But when it gets down to particulars, which aliens are real and which UFOs are real, that's when people get squeamish.
And certainly the mainstream gets squeamish.
unidentified
Sure.
art bell
All right.
Back to the lines.
West of the Rockies.
Whoops, you would have been on the air.
Let's make it.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
unidentified
Hi.
Hi, I just have a question for, is this Art?
art bell
Yes, it is.
Where are you?
unidentified
I'm in St. Paul, Minnesota.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
This is Andy?
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
I was just wondering if there's any other way I could get the five photos of the Roswell autopsy besides your newsletter.
art bell
Well, I gave you the number for the computer bulletin board.
So those are the two ways that I have provided.
I'm sure they're on the internet.
If you have a computer, I don't know of any other way offhand.
glenn campbell
Oh, okay.
art bell
You're welcome.
Best I can do for them.
Best I've done.
I'm a lot like you are, Glenn.
I try and get information out every way I can.
We're lucky to have the internet.
glenn campbell
Yes.
Certainly if you were to surf the web, you would find those pictures, I'm sure.
art bell
Absolutely.
Wildcard line, you're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
glenn campbell
Hey, hello, Art.
art bell
Hello.
unidentified
Hello, Glenn.
Hi.
Hey, I can barely hear you fellas, but...
This is the professor from Columbus, Georgia, Art.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
How are you doing?
Did you receive my facts from last?
Well, not really my facts, but did you receive a fact from a party close to me last night?
art bell
I'm sorry.
Well, I think I do recall something.
Anyway, do you have a question for our guests?
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
Well, as you know, I've been investigating the UFO phenomenon for some time now, Art.
I believe me and you've spoke on it a number of times.
A lot of people have heard me talking with you on the radio.
And this way, is that you?
Mr. Glenn Campbell, about three months ago, I took down a lot of the desert rats and studied them.
glenn campbell
Right.
unidentified
And that's very interesting.
And the perception I got from you was one strictly as someone searching for truth.
And tonight, I'm pretty sure I heard you tell Art that you believe that there is alien intelligence.
However, you feel it is non-threatening.
Is that correct?
glenn campbell
That's right.
unidentified
Okay.
You're not going to like what I've got to tell you.
Okay.
And it's not real good.
There are no aliens.
glenn campbell
Okay.
unidentified
And the closer I look into it, the more proof I have found.
There is an intelligence that is working in a great number of directions.
And I will be ridiculed and mauled and whatever, and I really don't care.
But this intelligence is working in so many different avenues.
And G. Gordon Liddy said it is not coming together at a central point.
However, I happen to know it is.
art bell
What are you talking about, sir?
unidentified
There is an, you know, strictly from a scientific standpoint, there is an evil entity that's at work that has one thing on its mind, and that is the mutual, assured destruction of humans and non-human beings.
glenn campbell
That sounds like Satan to me.
unidentified
Call it what you like.
art bell
All right, well, all right, thank you.
We'll go ahead and call it that.
And that is generally the religious view, isn't it, Glenn?
glenn campbell
Well, indeed, I haven't explored Satan at all.
I don't really know.
art bell
Well, it is an area that, while, as I said earlier, I don't allow scripture quoting, I don't mind exploring it.
It's as likely as any other that this could be spiritual or it could be satanic or it could be one of many things.
Do you dismiss that?
glenn campbell
Well, it's just something I can't talk about.
I don't know, for example, to argue with that gentleman who was on the line, I think, would be futile because he already has his ideas.
There's no real intellectuals.
art bell
I know, I know, I know.
But nevertheless, it's as good as anybody else's point of view.
Sure.
And I was just wondering, do you dismiss it or allow it as one of the possibilities?
glenn campbell
I'm a nuts and bolts guy.
I like to look for things that I can check.
Satan is just something I can't check.
art bell
Well, at least not yet.
glenn campbell
Not yet.
art bell
West of the Rockies, you're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
Hi.
unidentified
Yeah, I have a question for Glenn.
art bell
All right, where are you?
unidentified
I'm in San Jose, California.
art bell
San Jose.
Okay, turn your radio off and go right ahead.
unidentified
Yes, I was wondering if copper would attract any kind of energy from space.
glenn campbell
I have no idea.
No idea.
art bell
Why do you ask that?
unidentified
Because my father, once, he was in Fresno, where they have copper mines, and he saw some lights up there.
art bell
Ah.
Well, all I would say to you is, you remember the expression pennies from heaven?
unidentified
No.
art bell
No, well, okay, well, maybe you're.
glenn campbell
Well, this is certainly a plausible theory that the aliens need some sort of mineral from Earth, and that's why they're coming here.
And one mineral I've heard of from Mr. J-Rod is boron.
They mean boron.
So invest in boron.
art bell
Well, you know, I like that idea a lot better than humans as nutritional value.
glenn campbell
Yeah, well, that's a senseless waste of humans, I would think.
art bell
Well, it depends on your point of view.
I mean, from the cow's point of view, I'm sure that hamburgers are a senseless waste.
glenn campbell
Senseless waste of cows, correct.
art bell
That's right.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
Hi.
unidentified
Hello.
art bell
No, you're not.
Wildcard line, you're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
unidentified
Hello, this is Fritz from Phoenix Falling.
art bell
Hi, Fritz.
It's been a long time.
unidentified
Yeah, it's very obvious that staff of Area 51 is listening into Dreamland, and especially tonight.
You know, it's coming that doesn't make it's a non-planet to realize that.
art bell
Of course they listen.
unidentified
And now, the name Bob Lazar has come up quite a bit.
art bell
Bob Lazar.
unidentified
But we also have to give credit to John Lear and George Knapp.
art bell
Absolutely.
glenn campbell
Absolutely.
unidentified
It was George Knapp who gave Area 51 a quality exposure.
art bell
I wouldn't disagree with that at all.
Thanks, Fritz.
George Knapp, a guest here many, many times, once part of a program I did prior to this, an investigative reporter for a CBS affiliate in Las Vegas, and has done a lot of very good work on Area 51.
And John Lear, who is a very good friend of mine, also has done a great deal of work.
Glenn, John has said some things, though, about the aliens that go beyond, I'm sure, where you would be willing to go.
And John actually does connect it and does think it possible they are evil entities, really has moved in that direction in the last few years.
unidentified
Certainly.
art bell
And you agree with that assessment of where he's going to?
glenn campbell
Again, I don't make those interpretations.
I'm like Bob Lazar.
I stick to the facts, and I think Bob would probably agree with me that he doesn't have that inclination to say they're good or evil.
art bell
But John has actually come to the point where he firmly believes they're evil, number one, and number two, we'll finally dispense the advice.
Something awful is going to happen.
Just lead your life, love your family, enjoy the time you have left.
Stand by, Glenn.
I'll be right back to you.
He's made statements of that sort on my program.
It's pretty chilling stuff.
And it's particularly chilling because he says it with a certain, very calm kind of resignation that would chill you if you heard it.
And on that note, we'll be right back.
You don't have to put back to Glenn Campbell, and I want to give Glenn toward the end of the show here an opportunity to once again say, Glenn, if they go to the World Wide Web and they do a web search, what keyword would they use to get to your website?
glenn campbell
Well, the surefire bet would be to search for UFOs because all those UFO pages are pretty well linked together.
art bell
Right.
glenn campbell
And you could also try searching for Desert Rat.
And what you're looking for is the Groom Lake Desert Rat or my Area 51 page, all of which have everything I know.
art bell
How do you feel about being called the Groom Lake Desert Rat?
glenn campbell
Well, that's the name of the newsletter, but I am pleased to be a Desert Rat indeed.
art bell
Yes.
glenn campbell
Now, for people who are not on the internet, I can send them a free catalog by snail mail, as we call it.
art bell
Snail mail.
Yeah, all right, before you give it out, is this the same address as the Area 51 viewer's guide?
glenn campbell
That's correct.
art bell
All right, which is $19, which then that includes shipping and handling.
glenn campbell
That's correct.
art bell
All right.
The address for that or the free catalog is?
glenn campbell
Just drop me a line at Area 51 Research Center in Rachel, Nevada, 89001.
All you really have to remember is that zip code, 89001, and I'll send you the catalog.
art bell
All right.
Well, that's a great offer.
All right.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
Hi.
unidentified
Yes, I'm calling from Columbia, Missouri.
I'm a 16-year-old science student here.
And I have a couple topics I'd like to discuss.
The first, the Crob Circles, I just heard them mention.
The producers of the Crob Circles have already come forth as a bunch of punk teenagers.
I mean, me personally, I believe in UFOs and other intelligence, but I think this is one topic that needs to be put to rest.
glenn campbell
Well, this is already way out of my field because I just don't deal with crop circles.
art bell
That's in Linda Howe's field, and when we have her as a guest, you're welcome to call, sir.
She would have some strong opposite arguments, but that's not the time for the question.
What else do you have?
unidentified
Oh, um, these sightings.
I think the reason there are more sightings now people aren't afraid to come out.
Um, it's more of an open area.
glenn campbell
And that certainly could be true, and better communication as well.
unidentified
Right.
Um, for the caller that uh called in um uh the last uh brought the attention to a religious aspect of that.
Um uh I think that was uh a feeble attempt to make an intellectual uh argument, and uh I think anybody that doesn't believe that there's other intelligent life in the universe is maybe uh very non-intellectual and um egotistical.
art bell
All right, well, I appreciate the opinion and uh the call, and I don't know where else we'd go without.
First time caller line, you're on the air with Glenn Campbell.
unidentified
Hello, yes, uh, Mr. Campbell.
glenn campbell
Hi.
unidentified
Hi, uh, I was wondering, uh, when I get on the World Wide Web, I'm looking for CamoDudes.
glenn campbell
A CamoDude.
unidentified
Yeah, you know, they have a web page.
Okay, can you get it from the web page?
glenn campbell
CamoDude is our name for the security guys that hang out along the border because they're in camouflage fatigues.
But I don't think you'll find them that they have their own web page.
unidentified
No, no, no.
What I'm talking about is the manual that you had.
glenn campbell
Oh, okay.
Well, there is a security manual that has been placed on the internet, a security manual for the camo dudes.
In fact, describing some of their functions.
unidentified
Okay, I connected to that, but I didn't know if I was getting it right up or if I was getting the actual manual that you put on there.
I mean, it didn't make the connection.
It just kind of blinked there for a second and went back to the main web page.
glenn campbell
Oh, you're talking about a technical problem.
I can't say.
You probably should send me an email message at one of those addresses there.
And did you get to a main page, an Area 51 page?
unidentified
Well, I did, like you said, I typed in Desert Rat in the web crawler.
glenn campbell
Okay.
I would say search for find any UFO page at all.
unidentified
Right.
glenn campbell
And that will eventually lead you to the Desert Rat, the Area 51 page where you'll find the security manual and other things.
unidentified
Okay, I'd like to ask you, too.
How come you don't like Chuck Clark?
Who?
glenn campbell
Well, we don't want to talk about individual people.
I think we don't want to be flinging mud at each other.
But obviously in the UFO field, as in every field, you have a lot of rivalries going on and a lot of bad blood, and this is just the way humans are.
art bell
Well, that's a good final question.
We're about out of time.
I sure would like to see a lot of the UFO community heal, and it sort of rips itself apart bit by bit, doesn't it?
glenn campbell
Well, this is the way humans are.
I think that if you have any field, especially UFOs where you have no solid base of agreement to begin with, no one can agree what UFOs are, never mind on what we should be doing about them.
What you see is humans doing what they do best, which is arguing with each other.
unidentified
And I think this is inevitable, and there's nothing particularly wrong with that.
art bell
And so it shall go on.
Glenn Campbell, it has been a pleasure.
glenn campbell
It's a pleasure here as well.
art bell
We're out of time.
We'll do it again sometime.
The Great Master, O Area 51.
Glenn, thank you.
glenn campbell
Thank you.
art bell
Take care.
Glenn Campbell, indeed a pleasure to have him on.
And I'm sorry, we're governed by the clock.
We must go.
But once again, remember, some fascinating stuff is going to be published in our newsletter.
And so by all means, order it.
The order number for our newsletter at $29.95, you're worth every penny, is 1-800-917-4278.
Just keep trying until you finally get through.
1-800-1-800-917-4278.
I'm Mark Bell from the high desert near Dreamland.
Good night.
This has been Dreamland, a program dedicated to an examination of areas in the human experience not easily nor neatly put in a box.
Things seen at the edge of vision, awakening a part of the mind as yet not mapped.
Yet things every bit as real as the air we breathe but don't see.
