Art Bell’s August 25, 1995 Coast to Coast AM episode blends UFO speculation with political and scientific debates: callers from Zenith, Vega 6, and Passians (Pluto) claim alien missions—some harvesting chemicals, others studying human culture—while dismissing Roswell as rare. Fox’s upcoming Alien Autopsy film sparks skepticism despite Bell’s five photos of a fetus-like extraterrestrial, which he calls "disturbingly near-human." A caller alleges humans were transplanted from another planet 26,000 years ago after a 95% population collapse, linking Earth’s wars to genetic flaws. Meanwhile, Clinton-era controversies—like Whitewater and political correctness—clash with Bell’s conspiracy-adjacent critiques, culminating in his promotion of Fox’s broadcast and a tease for Hayakawa’s Area 51 discussion, blending fringe theories with mainstream skepticism. [Automatically generated summary]
From the high desert in the great American Southwest, I bid you all good evening or good morning across all these many time zones from the exotic Tahitian and Hawaiian islands in the west out to the Caribbean and the U.S. Virgin Islands way out in the Atlantic, south into northern South America, north, we believe, to the North Pole.
One day we're going to get a report from there.
This is Coast to Coast AM Friday night, Saturday morning version.
Anything can happen, and I'll tell you, it's going to be a weird night.
I'll tell you, right off the bat, it's going to be a weird night.
For those of you wondering, I did not fix my fax machine.
And it will go off to the great masters of repair O fax machines.
At any rate, the fax number is operative.
So if you're wondering, it is area code 702-727-8499.
If you want to get a fax in here, three-page limit, 702-727-8499.
Now, the news is kind of ho-hummish as far as I'm concerned.
And I'll run through it with you, and I'm going to get to the phones fairly quickly this morning.
Friday night, Saturday mornings are designed to sort of be your thing, and so that should work out well.
The Alien Autopsy film, as you know, is coming up Monday.
In honor of that, and in honoring a request from last night, on this night, we'll do it at the top of the hour, at midnight.
I will open the alien line.
For those of you that have never heard the alien line, it is a mixture of terror and humor, depending on what you want to believe.
Let's look around the world a little bit, see what's going on.
Harry Wu, as you know, is back, but vows to continue to fight.
And now, he doesn't exactly promise that he's not going to sneak back into China.
And I would tell you that this is a very poor idea.
You know, Harry Wu, I know, is an activist.
I know the way he feels, but he is now an American citizen.
And I can tell you, having been recently in China, the Communist Chinese are just not a humorous people.
They don't like people sneaking in their country.
They call it spying.
And in fact, it was sort of spying.
So if Harry Wu goes back into China, my guess is, particularly if he does so after the upcoming Women's Conference, Women's Rights Conference, ha ha ha ha.
Women's rights in China.
A joke.
The first lady has announced she is going.
You know, it's kind of a tip of the hat to the human rights people.
She will not meet officially with the Chinese outside of the conference itself.
So, whoop-de-doo.
Bob Dole still thinks she ought not go.
And I wonder how you feel about it.
The New York fire in Long Island was under control.
Now they're saying it's back out of control again.
It just keeps picking up, you know, and jumping into different areas.
Fortunately, it's not over on my mom's side yet.
Now, here is a surprise, and I think a brilliant move.
Senator Bob Packwood has changed his mind about public hearings on charges of sexual misconduct against him.
Oregon Republican now says the only way for him to get any sort of fair treatment is to allow the public to view the process.
I think it's brilliant.
Now, he has been charged of kissing about 19 women, I think.
19 women.
Barbara Boxer will consider this a victory, but I think she's actually wrong.
I think Senator Packwood, personally, is much better off having all this out in public and for his own sake that the public get to see it and get to see if the charges are really serious charges or whether they're just kind of coming after him politically.
And you'd never know if it was all in private.
But, you know, if the cameras are there, we will know.
Should be interesting.
Now, O.J., let's see, a couple of interesting things going on there.
The judge, Judge Ito, is going to spend the weekend dealing with what he calls, quote, significant legal issues, end quote, in the case, which means he's going through the tapes, the terrible, horrible, racist, allegedly violent tapes, and he will decide over the weekend, so he's got a lot of reading to do.
Now, he did apologize to the jury earlier today, and he said this now is the longest jury sequestration in all of California's history.
All of history.
And, frankly, it looks as though they're going to remain sequestered until about the very earliest, say the third week in September.
It's a long trial.
O.J. Simpson, I believe, is guilty and will indeed walk.
The defense finished up their questioning of Dr. Lee, who was very effective.
He will then be cross-examined when it all picks up on Monday.
Now, this may be under the category of the quickening, what I call the quickening.
Chicago buries heat victims.
This is incredible to me.
Dozens of victims of July's heat wave in Chicago were buried, get this, in a mass grave Friday.
The bodies of the 41 victims had been identified but were unclaimed.
Authorities were unable to find or contact any friends or any relatives of the victims.
Trucks carried the plywood coffins from the county morgue to a suburban cemetery where they were simply placed side by side in one very long trench.
Clergymen offered brief prayers.
The July heat, which temperatures reached 106, killed 568 people in Chicago.
Now, you wouldn't think that possible in modern America, would you?
NASA will try again.
NASA says it has replaced potentially problematic insulation on the booster rockets on Endeavour, has set Thursday morning as the big day.
Endeavor was to have taken off August 3rd, but was grounded after inspectors revealed that yet two other space shuttles had been launched with flawed booster rockets.
Now, as you know, NASA plans to privatize.
In other words, they're going to turn over the shuttle program to a private company.
And I still wonder what it would be like to fly in the first shuttle flight, you know, be up there on top of that big Piece of explosive, really, knowing that the job went out to the lowest bidder.
I asked people to make up reasons, lists of ten reasons why they would or would not want to fly on the first privately launched NASA mission.
The FAA has ordered propeller inspections of the type aircraft that recently went down, looking for cracks.
Governor Jim Guy Tucker is denying as totally false a report that a plea bargain in the Whitewater mess is underway, completely denies it and claims complete innocence.
There was one worthy story I thought on NBC News last night.
It involved Jeremy Brown, a gal named Jeremy Brown, and a fellow named 42-year-old Reginald McFadden in 1969 kidnapped and raped her, stole her money, repeatedly took her to ATMs, made her withdraw her money, and raped her in between.
She lived.
He went to jail.
Well, then in 1994, he was released and killed two more people.
And he looked at the cameras, you know, and he said, you really shouldn't have trusted me.
You know, why didn't you see the signs?
Shouldn't have let me out.
I'm a bad guy.
Jeremy, finally coming forward after all of these years, said something that caught my attention.
She said, prison is too good for him.
He should be tortured.
Tortured as I was.
Tortured as no doubt his other two victims were.
And I wonder if you agree with that.
Tortured.
Should somebody who has done something as awful as this McFadden receive the same kind of treatment they dealt out to their victims?
Violence against women in America is up 2.5 million incidences per year now.
Two-thirds know their attacker.
Attacks on women are six times more likely than attacks on men.
And the part, again, that caught my attention was she genuinely thought that he should be tortured.
And how do you feel about that?
Is prison a sufficient punishment for somebody who rapes, pillages, kills, murders, dismembers?
Or should they actually face something more severe than prison?
More severe than the simple loss of their freedom.
You know, sort of like they do in Saudi Arabia, when you steal, they cut off the hand that stole.
Pretty awful stuff, but so are the crimes.
From Steve in Santa Barbara, the following, Dear Art, KCBS Television in Los Angeles at 5.45 p.m. today did a report on the upcoming Fox presentation of the Roswell crash.
They claim to have an exclusive preview of some of the photos.
Indeed, they did show the six stills you currently have on the bulletin board, although of slightly better quality, as well as some stills that I've never seen before.
Indeed, there are about six or seven more new ones out this morning.
We'll get them, including close-ups of the six-digit limbs and a close-up of the face of one of them.
They also said the Fox Network paid an undisclosed amount, thought to be in the neighborhood of about a quarter million dollars.
The producer of the Showtime movie Roswell had this to say: if they can, in fact, prove this film was made in the 40s, this would be something important.
It would be well beyond Hollywood's ability to forge something like that back then.
As usual, the talking heads had a bit of a snicker and injected their own little snipes.
Still, I can't help thinking this just might be the proof so many have looked so hard for for so long.
So it may be.
And we are now, well, shortly, we'll be here on the West Coast into Saturday morning.
And then two days.
And I did an interview yesterday in Phoenix at KFYI in Phoenix yesterday, morning after the show.
And that's what we talked about.
And I told them, and I'm going to tell you that I have no idea whether this is the real thing.
I am an investigator, not a devotee, not a believer.
I don't know.
I'm honestly telling you, I don't know.
And a lot of people say, well, gee, what a cop-out.
You know, you do a lot of shows on this kind of thing.
It's not a cop-out.
It's the real me.
I believe very few things that I cannot lay my hand on and prove scientifically, one way or the other.
And that even extends to some aspects of religious belief.
So that's me, and I can't tell you it's real.
I have no idea whether it's real.
But it's going to be fascinating.
And what is really going to be fascinating, and what you may want to comment on, those of you particularly that have seen the still photographs, either on television or in my newsletter, you might try and characterize how you think the American public is going to react.
Are they because of close encounters of the third kind and all the other movies we've had?
Are they going to go, oh, well, and just sort of ho-hum?
Or those of you who have seen the photographs, do you think they're going to kind of freak out, frankly, and look at this and say, God, it's real.
That is what I did.
And I remain, you know, if I were to.
I'm not a betting man when it comes to aliens, but I would bet they're genuine more than I would bet they are a fake.
And for that reason, this is more than just another show.
This is.
It's something.
Well, I can't wait to see the way the American public will react.
Some will get angry.
Some will deride it, joke about it.
Others will get quiet and serious and realize that, in fact, we may not be alone.
So I don't know.
Dear Art, some tidbits.
So you think it's in poor taste to paint the wheel of fortune up on top of the space needle.
In 1987, when I was vacationing in Maui, a Hawaiian state senator proposed changing the island's name to Gilligan's Island.
Since that's where the TV series was filmed.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Now that's sacrilege.
And I hope the jerk was voted out of office.
Montserrat, by the way, is about 160 miles north of Martinique, according to my Atlas.
Now, that's very, very interesting because, as you know, Gordon Michael Scallion, I played the tape the other night, has predicted that when the Caribbean islands begin to erupt volcanically, you have the beginning of the end cycle.
Now, whether that is the case now or not, I don't know, but USGS and other scientific agencies are presently saying there is about an 80% chance that Montserrat is going to go up like a Roman candle shortly.
Hopefully, Bill Gates got to see himself trying to sing that Rolling Stone song the other day.
It was quite obvious.
He's not quite ready to make a living as a singer.
He'd be well advised not to quit his day job yet.
I agree.
I've heard reports that the defense lawyers in the Oklahoma bombing case are looking to have the trial moved to another state because they claim their client can't get a fair trial there.
I recall four possible locations mentioned, one being Portland, Oregon.
Can't remember the others.
While cruising through my computer, which incidentally, like yours, has not lost its virginity to Windows 95 yet, I found a copy of the U.S. Constitution, Article 3, Section 2.
It says, quote, the trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.
Such trials shall be held in the state where the said crimes have been committed.
Well, that makes sense.
If there are any knowledgeable lawyers with insomnia out there who might be able to shed a little bit of light on this issue, I sure would like to have a comment on this.
All right, I've got more, but I'm now, I see, out of time.
We're here at the bottom of the hour, so I'm going to break.
I've got a letter from a lady down in San Diego who is talking about the broadcast coming up on Monday.
And don't forget, in 30 minutes, we open up the infamous Alien Live.
unidentified
This is Premier Networks.
That was Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM on this Somewhere in Time.
Live talk radio in the nighttime because this radio station cares enough to have it on, which means they care about you.
We are now the largest live overnight show, live show or show, period, in the U.S. Welcome.
All right, just to sort of launch this, here is an update for you from Blake in San Diego.
All right, I'm hearing right now the woman asking about the broadcast on Monday, August 28th.
I have next week's TV guide, and there's a full-page announcement of the special.
For those in the local San Diego area, the announcement, let me see, blah, blah, blah, blah, will be Channel 6 Fox.
Now, Fox will be different channels in different areas at 8 o'clock Pacific time.
It is presented well.
It says real or a hoax.
You decide.
I'll be sure to tape this special for all my friends who will miss it.
Don't mean to plug the TV guy, but for all your listeners who do not know what time it's going to be on locally, suggest they go buy one or just browse through the next one they find while they're out shopping.
Please pass on the information so everybody will be informed and able to tape or watch the program.
Great show.
Keep looking forward to your next newsletter.
Oh, yes.
Also, the Sanjee TV, he says, is an awesome buy.
Get it while you can.
Thanks for the plug.
All right, are you guys ready?
We're going to open the lines, and this is going to be a night of you drive it where you want it to go, but I will open the alien line at the top of this hour, and that will be fun.
Here are the numbers.
First-time callers, people who have never done it but would like to.
Area code 702-727-1222.
702-727-1222.
Listen, because I don't do these frequently.
The wildcard direct aisle lines, area code 702-727-1295 or 1295.
Toll-free, west of the Rockies, 1-800-618-8255.
East of the Rockies, 1-800-825-5033.
The night is ours, and here we go.
East of the Rockies, good morning.
You're number one.
You're on the air.
Where are you calling from, please?
Well, that was not an auspicious beginning, or did I push the wrong, oh, I pushed the wrong button.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hello there.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hey, Art.
I didn't realize I had this much pull on your show.
Well, remember last night, Owen, I told you that it was a good idea, but then the more I thought about it, I thought, you know, Friday night, Saturday morning is a better time to do that, A. B, the people in L.A. and San Francisco, which come online in about 22 minutes, have never heard it.
It will be a very shocking experience for them.
And number three, we head into the weekend of the broadcast on Monday, so it all fits in.
The one here in the West, where about the whole western third of the U.S. went ew.
unidentified
Exactly.
I came home that night, and I ran to the fridge and grabbed a beer, and I was listening to you, and I went out on the deck, and this is really strange.
And it looked like I saw, it was almost like three meteors or meteors with vapor trails on them.
I mean, the guys, I mean, how many people do you know would put $95,000 in an account they knew wasn't theirs and then be nice enough to say, well, here, now come and get it.
What I really wonder, and I've noticed there's been no publicity, but I'll bet you a whole bunch of people went down and deposited some of the junk mail checks and gave it a shot.
unidentified
That's right.
And, you know, but, oh, and Art, Go Buckeyes, beat Boston College on Sunday.
My impression was that most of the new members who went there with so many good intentions found out awfully quickly that they had to become part of the system or they were going nowhere.
unidentified
Well, I heard Mr. Heineman debating gun control with Schumer not too long ago.
And being a retired deputy chief from New York City, and again, he became chief of police in Raleigh, North Carolina for about 15 years.
He made the statement that he had been indoctrinated as a police officer in New York, that guns were the problem.
He said practically no one owned a gun in New York.
They had all kinds of criminal problems.
He moved down to Raleigh, North Carolina, took over as chief, and everyone had a gun, and there was practically no gun problems.
Then he stated that when the drug people come in, then the problem started.
And he said, so the real problem is criminals, not guns.
And at that stage of the game, Chuck Schumer didn't even give him an argument.
So that's one of the first times that I saw Mr. Schumer on the quiet side.
And all of a sudden, the lights got very, very bright.
Then, all of a sudden, they got very dim and went off, and we lost power for a while.
Then it all came back.
And I just happened, you know, obviously, since it occurred here, I mentioned it.
We started getting calls from all over the West.
It was the whole western third of the U.S. and up well up into Canada, even into the Yukon.
And nobody could figure out what caused it.
The only thing that coincided were three large meteors that streaked across the West just before the occurrence.
unidentified
The only story I heard about a meteor was in the upper northeast, Cleveland, of places like that, where there was one huge meteor that everybody was calling 911 with a big green tail.
So I wonder if it was the same one and maybe it broke apart as it went west.
But anyway, I was calling because that same night, you were talking about Amtrak and that the Clinton, well, the Amtrak train service was being cut at the time, and it's continuing to be cut.
And the thing is, I'd like to make a point over the nationwide airways that I think the Clinton administration is making a mistake on allowing the high-speed rail not to be developed.
I think that's a technology we really need to explore and develop.
The big event coming up, of course, Monday, the broadcast of the supposed alien autopsy photo, excuse me, photo, 16-millimeter film is going to be released nationwide by Fox.
It will be a big event.
And in honor of that event and in honor of Los Angeles and San Francisco that I believe never have heard the infamous alien line, I hereby open the alien line.
Now, what does that mean?
That means aliens who are here on Earth who wish to be heard.
Now, I'm closing the first-time caller line, so if you're a first-time caller, forget it for now or use one of the other lines.
Only aliens.
Now, what do I mean by that?
Do I mean people here illegally from Mexico or even Mexican callers or Canadian callers?
I mean people from other places, dimensions, galaxies, planets, people who legitimately claim.
Now, I'm very, you should know right off the bat.
I'm pretty serious about this and fairly humorous, without humor, that is, when it comes to tolerating very much foolishness on the line.
I'll tolerate a little.
So if you are an alien, and only if you are an alien, no human beings, not a one, should call area code 702-727-1222.
If you're a human being, don't call that line.
702-727-1222.
See, it's already ringing right now, and I bet it's a human being online.
So this is Friday night, Saturday morning.
We're kind of into an anything kind of day.
Not as structured on this morning, and this definitely will be part of it.
It will be up to you to judge the quality of the aliens that we get.
Now, generally, I want to know from aliens who call why they are here.
Some of them seem to have crashed here and they're stuck.
Others that claim to be here helping us.
Others claim to be here sharing technology.
Others claim to be time travelers, dimension hoppers, you name it.
We've got the whole gamut that will call, I guarantee.
So we'll see what we get on this morning.
While the nation awaits Monday the Roswell film, 8 o'clock our time, check your local listings on Fox.
In honor of that and Friday night, Saturday morning, I'm opening the alien line officially as of right now.
Area code 702-727-1222.
Even though it's ringing, of course, I'm not going there right now.
I'm going somewhere else.
Then, when I'm sure that everybody's heard what I've had to say, everybody knows no human should call that line, then I will go over there, see if I can find an alien.
For now, west of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Would have been east of the Rockies, you're on the air.
And there are two articles in our paper today that they're sort of quickening articles, but they relate to what we're talking about.
And this one article says that during the meteor storm, Fireball Brightens the Night Sky Slams into Trailer Home, and it burned this trailer home to the ground.
It started out about 50 years ago as a cultural, not as a culture exchange, but as a kind of a research thing to find out what your culture is about, what's going on here.
You mean liberalism is not common to only this planet?
It is past the rest of the solar system and the cosmos?
unidentified
Well, we had it.
We got rid of it because, like I said, the crime just went through the roof, and people just eventually they woke up and, as you say, woke up and smelled the coffee and put the death penalty back into effect.
This is very interesting because there are a lot of people say there are aliens here that look very much like humans with very subtle differences.
How can I tell when I see one of you?
unidentified
Well, you really wouldn't be able to tell by looking.
It would have if you had the equipment to do a DNA analysis, and you might then, you know, if you had a skin sample or something, you might know, hey, there's something out right here.
If you could, I think the answer is, if you could be in good health and if you could be as you are, and I would pick now.
I like my age.
I like how old I am right now.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not Even though I passed 50, which was kind of a kind of a jolt, that's all over, and I'm very pleased with the age that I am.
And if I could freeze it right now, it might be okay.
But otherwise, if you could say live to be 200, but you continued to deteriorate, that would not be a good situation at all.
I interviewed Congressman Schiff here recently, and I would say that he was disturbed by the coverage given the report in Albuquerque and disturbed by the fact that years of records.
You know, there's a few things that I do want to say about Roswell.
If you're listening to this program on Saturday morning, fine, the program comes up 8 o'clock Pacific time Monday.
If you're listening in any other or one of the many time zones, for heaven's sakes, check your TV guide.
It's going to be on the Fox Network.
And I want you to be able to see it because I want to be able to talk to you about it Monday night.
We'll be here at 11 o'clock Monday night, as you know.
This program, the one we're doing right now, is going to re-air Sunday night, Monday morning.
So if you're listening on Monday morning, it's going to be tonight.
Many who are not aliens digest this much, and I may send more.
Well, I find some of that somewhat indigestible.
And then this high art, sending this facts to help out the alien who's trying to get the chemical to preserve their water supply on their planet.
My suggestion would be to not drill 3,000 miles into the Earth, but to take his or her spaceship over to the other side of the Earth and drill less than 25 miles.
This would save a lot of time and drilling on their part.
From Doc Barry down in Phoenix.
Good thinking, Doc.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello there.
Hello, Art.
unidentified
Yes.
Yeah, I just wanted to make a suggestion for a question for your alien line.
Well, the thought I had is that drug abuse really isn't the root problem.
It's only a symptom of a greater problem that could primarily be cured by doing things like implementing a space program that actually inspired people.
I know you like little phrases people say sometimes, and during one of the breaks here at the newscaster, I kind of laughed when I heard it, but I imagine the people down in Florida don't think the storms out there are too funny.
But he referred to the series of storms down there as a congaline of storms that are battering the coast down there.
There are other people who would use of capital and maybe even directly to the heart of it.
In other words, Mexicans, Central Americans, South Americans, we could have factories, we could have production, we could have workers, and we could have basically American ownership, and there could indeed be a lot of people ending up just making a lot of money off the sweat of the brow of other people elsewhere.
unidentified
I would prefer they earn their money off the sweat of the brow of the machine.
Well, you could argue this would enrich other nations, ultimately, and be to their benefit, or you could argue that we would, as capitalists, be lousy enslavers of other people, and there would be plenty of people who would argue exactly that.
unidentified
Well, you're absolutely right, and we'll have to think about it a while.
But I just wanted to broach the idea.
I mean, given the fact that it may come to the day when only 20% of the whole population of this country will turn out enough goods and services in this country to satisfy 100% of the want, but who will be able to buy all the products?
As you know, Harry Wu is now out of China, but he's making noises and sounding like he might go back in again again.
The Chinese are not amused by this, and I think Harry has an awful lot of martyr in him.
I don't, of course, decry his cause.
It's laudable.
But if I were Harry Wu, I think at this point I'd stay out.
Next time he goes in, there may not be a first lady following on to help him be ejected, and he could be there for the rest of his adult life.
So, Harry, I'd say, stay in your naturalized home now.
You've done enough.
In New York, on Long Island, they thought they had the fire under control, late word is, not very much under control.
The O.J. Simpson trial plows forward.
Judge Ito yesterday telling the jury it is the longest sequestration of a jury in all of California history.
Chicago rather has buried a quickening story, if I ever heard one.
41 victims of the heat in a mass grave in Chicago.
And you know, not one mourner, not one mourner showed up.
That heat wave killed 568 people in Chicago.
Can you believe that?
NASA getting ready to launch once again.
It will be a NASA launch, not a private affair yet, but NASA is becoming private.
We talked a little bit about that.
There was a very interesting story, about the only one that was really interesting on NBC yesterday about Jeremy Brown.
She's a lady who was attacked and raped, you know, this fellow, this criminal, actually, a Reginald McFadden, 42 years old, kidnapped her, had her driving around to various ATMs, withdrawing her money, stealing it, raping her repeatedly.
He went to jail.
He was a, quote, model prisoner, model prisoner.
You know, the guys who do everything right, and yes, sir, and no, sir, to the guards, and they do all the things right.
And so he got out.
And as soon as he got out, he killed two more people.
Now, they interviewed him and they said, you know, he said, you know, they really should have seen the signs in me that they shouldn't have let me go.
I'm a bad guy.
And so now, of course, he's back in prison.
Indeed, back in prison, and two more people are dead.
And they interviewed this Jeremy Brown, this gal, and they asked her, they said, is prison too good for this man?
And she said yes.
That in her view, what he did was so awful that he should be tortured.
Tortured.
And I thought that would be a good question for you.
I'm not in favor of the state torturing people, but I have a feeling a lot of you out there are.
And that the crime, the punishment ought to fit the crime.
And the only way that can occur is not by giving somebody a comfy little cell with television and a day room and maybe a pool table and all the rest of that.
There's a prison somewhere.
But by real punishment.
Punishment that indeed fits the crime.
Now, I think it's Alabama.
They're having prisoners go out there with big sledgehammers and break big rocks into little rocks.
Maybe that's torture, that kind of hard labor.
Maybe that'd be all right.
Maybe I'm for that.
Torture in terms of actually torturing somebody?
No, I don't think so.
But, you know, when you listen to the victim of something like this, she has a pretty good point, I think.
Well, they most often disguise themselves as young feral felines.
And one sure method to identify them is the way a grown terrestrial cat will act towards them when you bring them in there and bring them in your home.
Well, I try not to make it the same, dear, every night.
unidentified
Yeah, well, you know, the other night you were talking about the computers, you know, and how they eventually might be able to go off into their own entity.
Well, I can go back further than that to a movie called The Forbin Project.
unidentified
Okay, yeah.
Yeah, well, the series VR5 I thought was really very fascinating.
The Holy Grail Quest00:15:26

I don't know if it's coming back on this fall, but you know, it is something to think about because the way it's going, I mean, to think you could get into different situations and just you know what I think?
I think that if a computer or the web even or the Internet attained some sort of consciousness and took over, you've got to wonder, would it really do as a ruler a worse job or a better job than we're doing with ourselves?
And I just, you know, I couldn't remember, because I was half dozing off in sleep, if the man had said that he had also, the person he was talking about was Lindell, I believe.
Yes.
Did he also discover the Ark of the Covenant recently, too?
all i know i mean i'm i would be either one of them That would be a fuzzy mission because, I mean, you think about the the stories with that and the powers, you know, that would be very, very unnerving to be on that expedition.
Now, digging for the ark itself on Ararat, if they're going to do that.
And actually, what do I mean if they are doing that now?
If they uncover the Ark, Noah's Ark, it is going to change so much.
I mean, you know, all the doubters and all the people, and I'm one of them, would be forced to take a very serious scientific look at the validation of what's in the Bible.
Huh.
The Great Flood and Noah and all the rest of it.
And I mean, the satellite photographs of what's on Ararat right now are damn convincing.
The only thing I don't know is might have hit, might have crashed.
How do they know it didn't land?
unidentified
Well, there was a trailer fire, I believe, in Canada I heard about, and they, you know, some people question whether or not that might have been something from the meteorite, you know, particles of it that might have hit that trailer that caused the fire.
And I just wanted to know, I heard the lady from California earlier on the line saying that she thought she was going through a midlife crisis or something else.
Well, but see, rocks or even pebble-sized things coming into the atmosphere, depending on their chemical composition, will burn green or pink or red or whatever, depending on the chemicals.
The strange thing is that you'll see people who get horrible things done to them.
You know, their family, somebody kills their family or rapes their kid or something like that.
And they actually get so engulfed in it that they become victims in a way themselves.
I'm certainly not saying that you shouldn't feel hatred for someone who does something horrible to you, but I think it can reach such a point that you become a victim.
That it's almost like it becomes a poison.
Once it becomes a poison, it not only attacks the person that you're going after, but it starts eating at you, too.
And I think that's what the problem is with a lot of people.
And certainly if it can happen to an individual, it can happen to a society.
And I think that's what we need to try to avoid.
As far as this guy, you had an alien call in a few minutes ago.
Actually, this is why I think there might be a lot of civilizations out there who actually are searching for other places to live.
Because the thing about it, every solar system eventually will become too dangerous to live in.
The star will start expanding.
The thing about it is that those solar systems are very old.
A medium-sized star is generally about 10 billion years old.
And so that means that any living beings on that planet would have to have an very advanced civilization.
That means that it's a necessity to leave your star to develop craft that can travel at the speed of light.
Well, I do wonder, Charlie, honestly, when I open a line like this and I talk to people for a few hours who claim to be aliens, whether they're all trumped up, whether it's all baloney, or whether maybe a few of them are for real.
It seems likely that certainly there are some life out there and some advanced civilizations, and those advanced civilizations, if they survive long enough to where their star begins a supernova, they're going to have to develop the technology to leave.
Somebody suggested that instead of drilling 3,000 miles, you just take your spaceship to the other side of the world and drill in about 25 or 30 miles.
You may be overestimating what we're able to do to Mother Earth.
Thank you.
I kind of follow a rush on that.
That is to say, I do believe we are polluting the Earth.
And I do believe that we are hurting the Earth.
But I don't think that we really have the capacity to do very much negative other than to affect our own position here.
Now, our position is rather tenuous.
That of the Earth itself, I think, is pretty, pretty solid.
Art, get this, folks.
I cannot call for my identity and location would be revealed.
But I must make the truth known.
I am, as are all humans, originally from another planet.
I was born on Earth, but have been educated as to our true origin because I, like all my ancestors, function as a community monitor, really?
I am at the bottom of the hierarchy here and report regularly to a superior.
You see, about 35,000 Earth years ago, a terrible disease was unleashed on our home planet by one of our galactic enemies.
The disease affected the ability of our women to reproduce, eventually leading to a 95% reduction in population, apparently no matter how hard they tried.
In order to avoid extinction, we began transplanting healthy seed communities, in quotes, to several compatible planets, including Earth, approximately 26,000 years ago.
Our home planet is now a desolate wasteland, but we have managed to thrive here.
I am greatly troubled, though, because I have only been taught a half-truth.
I was brought up to believe that we simply immigrated to Earth.
But after a lifetime of research, I now know that our ancestors, in fact, conquered this planet.
In the process, we completely eliminated the previous ruling inhabitants.
We evidently have been a warring race for a long, long time.
I must go now.
Unsigned.
I must go now.
Very interesting.
Very thought-provoking.
First time caller line or alien line, you're on the air.
unidentified
Yeah, hi.
This is Aaron from Olympia, and I had a question about the other day you were talking about your cat getting mad about another cat.
And when there is an evil or threatening presence.
Sure, I think that animals have that sense, much more keenly developed than we do.
It's the modern world and all the noise that masks a lot of this, and so we don't feel it unless we sensitize ourselves to it.
You know, I don't think this is magic or sorcery or anything else.
I think it's we are animals.
Human beings are animals, mammals.
And though we have not had to use this sense, except perhaps in today's modern cities, yes, I think animals can and do much earlier than we do, even possibly earthquakes, other disastrous or even dangerous or threatening things.
I think that animals have the ability to sense these things.
Thank you, Vegas 6 resident here on vacation doing a little golfing.
Hey, Art, I'm glad you're talking about meteors.
At about 2 a.m., on August 24th, I was out doing some serious stargazing at Branched Oak Lake near Lincoln, Nebraska, listening to Art Bell while stargazing, my favorite hobby.
And I witnessed the greatest meteor I've ever seen.
It traveled west to east, covered about 120 to 150 degrees of sky.
Wow.
I first thought it would eventually skip off the atmosphere because it was traveling in such a straight parallel line to the Earth.
But I guess due to a loss of inertia, it seemed to dive and break up at about 15 degrees above the horizon.
After the meteor was two seconds into flight, I ran 30 feet in order to get around a tree to watch the last part of the flight.
The entire flight lasted five to seven seconds.
Ivan in Lincoln, Nebraska.
P.S. Will Liberal Charlie ever learn not to talk entired liberal clichés?
Well, I think that, you know, the old expression about absolute power corrupting absolutely, and it can corrupt on both sides.
But the liberals in the practice or the preaching of their ideas, such as they are, are or tend to be more fascist and vocal with higher decibel levels.
So I think they move toward fascist tactics in argument very much more quickly than do conservatives.
unidentified
Yeah, the thing that turned me off the most was the political correctness thought police type of stuff.
But if conservatives, and I'm watching this Congress closely, if the conservatives really move towards the small government, a small government is more able, or is less able rather, to impose its will on the people.
So if that happens, then I will say, yes, they are genuinely less fascist.
But there are plenty of examples in the Congress and elsewhere of people who...
What his advisor said, his closest advisor, that when Bill Clinton is at a press conference and somebody will ask him a question, he will visualize Gallup polls in his mind instantly.
You know, he's able to look at them, see what the results would be of the various answers that he's contemplating, and like the liberal whiz of a computer that he is, come up with the answer that would please the most people.
There was no evidence of a meteor or meteorite fragment, so they're not certain at all.
I think one of your earlier callers mentioned that they weren't certain about it.
But yeah, they said they weren't certain at all that the trailer fire was caused by a meteor, even though there was activity in the area at that time.
The other thing I wanted to mention was that at 11:30, almost 11.27, Channel 2 News showed a picture of the Roswell newspaper front page from back in 1947.
Look, do you have any questions for this obviously young alien?
unidentified
Well, okay, we can try one on for size.
All right.
Whenever folks have gotten close to UFOs, and I noticed that in the construction of these flying disks, there are no seams, and the texture is something like skin, the outside texture of the UFOs.
Is this a product of nanotechnology?
Can you explain that?
Okay, mine was not like skin.
And mine, I know for the state that the United States government have it.
I landed mine in Montana near the Black Hills, and I've seen many of my kind be murdered by those who came and take my craft.
She asked about seamless construction of your craft.
unidentified
Well, my craft wasn't a skin, but it had no seams.
It had just the entrance of the door, in which I've traveled in and out of.
All right.
Is it a seam?
Because if you was to travel through time and space with a seam, it would cause an eruption.
So it had to be a solid vessel.
All right, another question then.
A lot of folks who are being abducted seem to have one question that's posed to them by those who abduct them.
And that is, what do you know about Project Prometheus?
Can you tell me what that means?
I have no idea.
I know that there probably is many different kinds of aliens.
Perhaps another would know that one.
I know that a friend of mine who has come around this earth with six fingers, no thumbs, that the American people decided that was a birth defect, and so they removed his fingers.
So he now looks like he has five.
And this is a common thing done here upon the earth.
He went and took a picture of old Faithful yesterday.
That was the big news.
Congress is out.
There's not a lot going on.
Judge Ito has a lot of homework to do over the weekend of the big news next week, I suppose, on the OJ trial.
In the meantime, coming up Monday, the 28th, this coming Monday at 8 o'clock, check your local listings on Fox will be the long-awaited purported alien autopsy.
And it is going to be interesting, say the least.
Hi, Art.
It's been a long time since I've been able to tune in.
Sure is nice to catch you again.
But what happened to Charlie?
He sounded rather moderate tonight.
Concerning life on other planets, while I feel certain there is other life out there, I'm also certain some are advanced enough to look for other intelligent life.
What I'm not certain of is whether or not they would bother stopping here if intelligent life is what they are seeking.
You really know how to make a race feel bad, Kevin.
Art, with the sightings of the meteor recently in the news, I recall a story of a woman in the U.S. that was supposed to be the only person to ever have been hit by an object that fell from space.
To put it in a nutshell, she survived and was hit in a leg, which only caused a bruise.
Do you know of anyone else that's been hit by such an object?
Jim in Portland.
No, Jim, I do not.
I know people that are affected as though they've been hit by something like that, but not specifically.
And from Steve, Dear Art, the top 10 drawbacks to corporate sponsorship of the shuttle program.
10. Nintendo brand telemetry systems.
9. Science experiments limited to Pepsi taste tests.
8. Spacesuits that look like NASCAR drivers.
7. Bill Gates always buying a seat on every flight just because he can.
6. Just another place to paint the wheel of fortune.
5. Ziploc brand O-rings.
4. Having landings become part of Super Bowl halftime highlights.
3. Embarrassing mouse ears on space helmets paid for by Disney.
Well, I'll tell you, Art, the other night when I got through, I got so mixed up when you picked it up that I forgot what I was going to say about Ember tonight.
Chuck Harter the other night discussed Windows 95, and he doesn't want it on his computer either because apparently he's afraid the bugs will ruin his memory and his, so he doesn't have it either.
I would have imagined Chuck's worry would have been more conspiracy-oriented, like maybe the getting information from him and issues of privacy in the Council on Foreign Relations reviewing Chuck's computer.
I heard on another program that there is a feature in it that if you use the phone system to get Microsoft's online services, it'll send out a signal from the Windows program to read your computer and send back to headquarters your hardware and only, sir, only if there are about eight steps that you've got to take to authorize their doing that.
Well, actually, it makes a very incisive look at the world and a very clear view of things to come, Art.
But anyway, for the aliens out there, perhaps one of them might have transported himself through a gamma-ray time transport system using the Wheel of Fortune as a model of translating his ultrasonic language into English.
What is your, I like the guy who just wrote to me and said, what if it turns out to be a spaceship?
Now, that would be a problem.
unidentified
Yes.
Well, at one time, the Strait of Gibraltar was not there.
It was closed off.
Spain and Morocco were joined.
And during the time when a lot of the water on the Earth was frozen during an ice age, then the Mediterranean was almost like a desert.
There was not very much water there at all.
And then with a global warming.
The Black Sea filled very, very high, and then the Strait Of Gibraltar broke through, or the Atlantic broke through, and this was such a deluge that it, if you look on the map, you can see some of the places where.
I think a lot of people believe in your theory, because I remember driving around when I was a kid and a lot of people had concrete boats in their front yards.
Remember that?
unidentified
Oh yes yes, I used to know someone who had one concrete.
All these people built these concrete boats and I never heard of anybody launching one.
unidentified
Well I, to carry the Noah's Art theory a little further, I believe you, you felt it was fooling around with Mother Nature.
I do believe that there will be a time when we must leave this planet and we had better have some plant specimens and some animals to take with us, and we damn well better have something better than a concrete boat.
By the way, this just in from my friend uh Blain in New Orleans, listening to who dat now, is that a set of call letters or what w-o-d-d and they call it?
Who dat um art it?
Uh might have been a meteorite, but it did not set a mobile home on fire.
That is the latest word from officials in Windsor Ontario, one of the many cities in eastern Canada and the U.s where a brilliant, streaking flash of light was seen early yesterday.
Police in the city across the river from Detroit say the mobile home caught fire about The same time and they initially said that it had been hit by a piece of the meteorite.
But police now say a preliminary report by the Ontario FIRE Department marshal indicates the fire was deliberately set and not by extraterrestrial force.
Maybe you couldn't tell, but that was in humor sir, it was well, it didn't sound like it.
Well, it well.
Then you have no sense of humor.
unidentified
Well, I do have a sense of humor.
It's just you didn't come across as it was a sense of humor, but we all know that you've kind of been see, I've been listening to you for a couple years yeah, and you've changed your, your attitude changed a little bit.
In what way you used to be, a little bit how should I put it, I don't know a little bit more open about things, and you've, you've changed.
I was working third shift at Penn State Erie, and myself and eight other people were out on break sitting on the steps of a building, and I noticed what appeared to me to be lightning from the northwest in the sky.
At first, it was like a pulsating light.
It was very bright, but then it became constant and it started to envelope more and more of the sky as time went on.
It seems like a long time, but I know it wasn't very long at all.
But anyhow, As it came upon us, the light became so bright and intense, it covered the entire sky that we could see.
