Art Bell’s Coast to Coast AM episode explores bizarre claims: a 1995 USO encounter off Mexico’s Trinidad, where seismic equipment hit a "VLCC-sized" metallic object; callers like Stan Deyo (allegedly 1,000 years old) and John (2,000 years old) asserting immortality tied to divine or extraterrestrial forces. A caller from Manhattan, "Gabriella," describes surviving death as a 22-year-old despite being 100, hinting at hidden agendas among the "immortal." Meanwhile, a self-proclaimed alien from star system 09.02 claims Roswell’s crash involved beings inhaling human blood plasma—echoing cattle mutilation theories—and Bell dismisses it as grotesque. Callers also link HAARP to plagues and question population control via engineered diseases, while Bell teases upcoming guests like Ken Goddard (National Fish & Wildlife Forensic Lab) and debates whether science or conspiracy explains comet threats. The episode blends fringe geopolitics, UFO lore, and immortality claims into a chaotic tapestry of fear and speculation. [Automatically generated summary]
From the high desert and the great American Southwest, I bid you all a great Friday night, Saturday morning, or perhaps Sunday night, Monday morning, as the case may be.
And welcome to the best in live overnight talk radio, emanating from the high desert and radiating to the west, toward the Hawaiian and the Asian Islands.
As a matter of fact, we've done that a lot.
Oh, we had a lot of fun yesterday.
I'll think about that here in a minute.
And then east toward the Caribbean, actually to the Caribbean and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
South, we believe, into Central South America.
And north to the Pole.
This is Coast to Coast A.M. I'm Mark Bell.
Good morning.
During the last, oh, I don't know, 45 minutes to hour of the show yesterday, I thought I would just have some fun.
I got to do that every now and then.
So I opened up an international line.
And I'm going to do that in about an hour.
Again, I'm going to open an international line.
And last night, the last hour of the show, we heard from Japan, Johnston Island, all the way from, I'm trying to recall now.
It seems like it was Holland or Norway, I guess, Norway.
And we heard, of course, from Canada and Mexico and a couple of other points in Okinawa in the Pacific.
So it was just kind of fun.
DXing, it's called radio AM DXing.
And I have no idea what conditions are like out there from an ionospheric point of view this morning, but we're going to find out because at about midnight, I'm going to open up the international line and see what happens.
It should be a lot of fun.
WOAI, for example, from San Antonio, Texas, reaches, well, I was in Mazatlan, and they were about the strongest thing on the dial in Mazatlan.
And if you look at that on a map, you'll see how far down she is.
And so that ought to be a lot of fun.
And we'll do that in the next hour.
So while I don't know much, and it does depend on the ionosphere, it tends to be good in the winter because we don't have so many thunderstorms going on.
Usually.
Usually.
And so the ionosphere or signals bouncing from the ionosphere are heard more easily, obviously, since there is not so much static.
Now, of course, lately the weather has been bizarro and there have been thunderstorms and tornadoes at times in the winter when there should not be.
And the weather, I'm sorry to say, is still in the top of the news.
It just keeps coming.
Those areas that you'll recall got hit with ice and snow, you saw the pictures, are now melting and badly flooding.
Other areas already pounded are getting it again.
The northeast is flooding all the way from West Virginia to Pennsylvania to North Carolina.
It's awful.
In New York, and I don't know a lot of people are going to like this one, I guess.
In New York, high winds actually blew down part of the dome of the UN General Assembly building.
That's how high the winds were there.
Near Buffalo, New York, cars were being swept away by water.
Washington, D.C. is flooding.
It is bitter cold in the Midwest.
That continues.
44 degrees, minus 44.
Fargo, North Dakota, about one and a half feet more of snow.
And minus 80 with wind.
Minus 80 degrees.
We've been hearing Minnesota temperatures.
It went down yesterday to minus 90 degrees.
That is dangerously cold.
And authorities are telling people, you better stay home.
You better not go out.
If you do, you could die.
In other words, it could be fatal.
Chicago at midday yesterday was 61 degrees.
Today it's 10 degrees.
So I'm trying to figure this weather thing out.
Winter not yet halfway over even.
There was a terrible fire at an apartment building in Chicago.
My guess is, if you watch the news or are glued to it as I am, one fireman caught a nine-year-old child falling from the fifth floor in mid-air.
Heroic indeed, lucky beyond belief.
He actually, as she fell, as she went by, he caught her in mid-air.
Now, you wouldn't think they'd be able to find a political aspect in the cold weather and the government shut down with regard to a fire, you know, a tragedy, and yet, oh, they've done it.
U.S. Secretary of Housing Henry Cisneros has said the fire is because the government is shut down because there should have been building inspections and weren't.
In other words, he did everything but say that fire was a Republican fire.
The mayor of Chicago doesn't believe that at all.
Richard Daly accused the administration of trying to take political advantage of a tragedy.
And, you know, it does seem a little that way, doesn't it?
This, as usual, insightful from Scott up in Butte Creek, Oregon.
Hi, Art.
So Henry Cisneros is blaming the Republicans for the fire in Chicago that killed four.
That's a bigger reach than that brave firefighter made in catching a little girl.
Maybe these people think before they open their mouths.
It really is thickening, which is kind of like the quickening politically that they would make a comment of that sort.
I mean, it really, really is reprehensible as far as I'm concerned.
We try and do things a bit differently here in that we are more open.
And if you guys want to go to the wild side, more than normal, that's possible.
It's okay.
In Chechnya, or in the Chechnyan situation, in Turkey, the crisis has ended peacefully.
The hostages are free.
Turkish government said it didn't make any concessions to the government, nor did they attack them.
In Moscow, it worked out a bit differently.
A village was leveled in Russia.
It was leveled by elite Russian troops who were very angry at the politicians for allowing the rebels to dig in for four days, who are very hurt, having taken many casualties.
The elite Russian troops complained their radios did not work.
They couldn't even talk to each other.
They did manage to kill 180 rebels with relentless rocket launches, multiple rocket launchers, tanks, and so forth and so on.
A Janet Reno-sized force.
Nevertheless, 150 escaped and including the leader of the Chechen rebels and made it back to Chechnya.
I'll tell you something, this isn't over.
The Moscovites fear the worst, that there'll be some sort of nuclear or biological or something or another that'll happen to them.
And it may.
Boris Yeltsin was attacked relentlessly in the Russian press for his handling of this.
Meanwhile, back in Washington, our president says, well, he's trying to give Yeltsin wide latitude in dealing with terrorism because, quote, this is Bill Clinton, because, quote, Russia is fundamentally a democracy, end quote.
Now, how would you characterize that statement by our president?
Russia is fundamentally a democracy.
unidentified
How would you characterize that statement by our president?
It seems poor timing to make that argument after what just occurred to that village and the women and children and everybody else.
I mean, they just massively, frontally attacked and leveled that village without respect to the hostages, without a whole lot of negotiation.
They did not wait nearly so long as our government did at Waco.
They did not wait nearly so long.
And so Bill Clinton's response is, well, they're fundamentally a democracy, so we've got to give them latitude in going after these terrorists.
It's a weird world, huh?
Big story on NBC about the baby boomers, and I always pay attention to these because I'm a boomer, sort of, on the cusp of the boom, 1945, middle of the year.
78 million baby kaboomers out there, maybe that's a better name, worried now very much about their golden years with good cause because they may not be so golden.
They are the generation which once said and practiced their live for today slogan.
The only problem is they had their fun then, and now today is over, and tomorrow is almost here.
And it is a very interesting story in a lot of ways.
In other words, where, how do you, what are your expectations?
Do you think that you're going to be comfortable in retirement?
Are you beginning to get scared?
You know, if you're in your 50s and you're not beginning to get ahead a little bit, you're going to live to be an average 76 point something or another years of age.
So you've got about 13, 15 years that you're going to have to make it without a regular income.
Are you ready for that?
I have a feeling that's what shapes a lot of political opinion in this country.
And when you're making money, you obviously pretty much want to keep it, or as much of it as you can.
Now, when the boomers get to the point where they're at the end of their work life and they're ready for the golden years, gone fishing, only they can't go fishing because they can't even afford a pole and a little bit of fishing line and a hook and sinker Because they're sunk So what do you think and be honest with me?
Are you ready now for retirement?
Or can you see that by the time you're going to retire, you're going to be comfortable?
Company pensions?
The Social Security system?
A little iffy.
And so if those don't come through for you, have you saved money?
Have you invested wisely?
Do you have a nice little nest egg put away?
Are you going to be able to live?
I don't I don't know, it's a big, big problem for the baby boomers.
I'm one of them.
Now, you want to talk about intriguing, speculative inviting news, this is it.
The Galileo probe survived in Jupiter's atmosphere for one hour.
But in that hour, we got a hell of a lot of data.
and apparently the scientists have already interpreted much of this data and what NBC said is that NASA says the information from Galileo that we have gathered about Jupiter's atmosphere may force,
I'm quoting now, may force a re-evaluation of how the solar system was formed.
Oh, that's a very non-trivial thing to say.
I wonder how far out on a limb they're going to go.
But the information is that hot.
It may force a re-evaluation of how the solar system was formed in the first place.
What do you think they might have discovered on Jupiter, an intriguing planet anyway, that would lead us away from our present scientific ideas of the formation of the universe?
Now, this is a very, very non-trivial thing for them to come out and say something that strong.
What do you think they mean?
There was no Big Bang.
There was no solid mass and void and then explosion.
What do they mean?
A more trivial aspect of the formation of the universe?
Nothing really trivial about it in an awful lot of ways.
So I don't know.
But I think we'll stop there, and I've got some more.
I've got Bosnia seems on track for now.
Spring, I believe, will tell the tale.
If there's going to be trouble in Bosnia, it will not come for the most part until the spring.
Anyway, I think I'll get the phone lines open.
I am so intrigued, as you could well imagine, by this kind of drop-in by NBC about the Jupiter probe, Galileo, having gathered information so startling that it may force a re-evaluation of how the entire solar system was formed.
You ever wonder how wrong we might have it?
I know what it says in the Bible, but I have always felt that the hand of God may well have been absolutely involved in the beginning of the process that we call creation.
And what seems to be a specific creation by the hand of God may be a non-specific creation.
In other words, we're not gods.
We don't know.
And his hand, that's why I don't find these two theories of evolution and creation to be so much at odds with each other.
I mean, who is to say that God didn't say, all right, let there be?
And then the process of nature, even with nature to some degree having in effect a free will, the process began.
The creation began.
And maybe God didn't tend to every little tiny detail.
He just sort of said, let the games begin, as it were.
Anyway, this is the kind of story that you know I love.
So if you would like to get your two cents worth in, you're welcome to do so.
Let me give you the official version of the numbers.
And next hour, I'm going to open up a DX line for an hour, an international line.
And it'll be kind of fun to see where we are heard.
Anyway, right now, if you are a first-time caller to the program, the number is Area Code 702-727-1222.
The wildcard lines, Area Code 702-727-1295.
702-727-1295.
Naturally, there is a free way for you to call in.
West of the Rockies, it's 1-800-618-8255.
1-800-618-8255.
East of the Rockies, it's 1-800-8255033.
1-800-8255033.
Also, Paul Niskinin will be here in about an hour and a half to talk about, briefly talk about the cruise we're going to take.
He's the guy who plans these things, and he is brilliant at what he does.
I've got coming after the bottom of the hour here, a very special announcement about a guest that I've got coming up Monday that I think a lot of you knew that I was working on.
And I have found somebody who is going to be more than suitable.
Monday's program is Monday night, Tuesday morning.
It's going to be a knockdown drag out, and that's the tease I'll give you right now.
unidentified
In a minute, when we come back, I'll tell you all about him.
You're listening to Art Bell Summer in Time on Premier Radio Networks.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from January 19, 1996.
Coast to Coast AM from January
Coast to Coast AM from January 19, 1996.
19, 1996.
Coast to Coast AM from January 19, 1996.
You're listening to Arkbell somewhere in time tonight, featuring a replay of Coast to Coast AM from January 19th, 1996.
It's a Friday night, Saturday morning, or Sunday night, Monday morning, depending on when you're hearing this.
And that's kind of a cool thing, too.
You can call on this program and then, I guess, listen to your own call on Sunday night, Monday morning in many areas.
Now, listen, coming up Monday night, Tuesday morning, I've connected with Ken Goddard.
Who is Ken Goddard?
Well, he's ex-FBI.
He's now director of the National Fish and Wildlife Forensic Lab.
And they're up in Oregon.
It is, as a matter of fact, the only government-sanctioned lab of its type.
And they do a lot of things there that he can talk about.
And they do a lot of things there he's not going to be able to talk about.
One of the things he will chat with us about is what's going on in Australia.
So yes, we'll talk about viruses.
You see, they do that kind of work up there.
That isn't say they create them.
It is to say, though, that they know about them.
And so we'll be talking about the viruses that are strangely popping up now.
Some of them not so strange, engineered by man with the possibility of jumping hosts down in Australia and the horrendous implications that would have.
That may have 100% fatality rate, by the way, for rabbits.
So if it were to jump hosts, one would possibly presume it would treat humans about the same way.
Then again, Paul Niskinen, who, you know, the last time I interviewed Paul, we do that once a year.
I interviewed Paul last year because we were doing the China, you know, the Orient trip, the 95 Orient trip.
And at that time, I didn't know Paul, and I didn't know the kind of work he did because the trip had not yet occurred.
What he gave us was so superb, so well done in every way, that this time I know what's coming.
I know what kind of job these people do.
It's incredible.
It's awesome.
And any of the people who took the Orient cruise are welcome to call and say, I cannot imagine you could not say the exact same thing.
Gosh, these people were good.
And so he'll be here to tell us about the Scandinavian Russian cruise coming up in August.
It'll be the one time you'll get an opportunity to hear it from the man who plans it, so you don't want to miss that.
That'll be about an hour and a half.
Already comments on what I've said aren't baby boomers.
In my case, there is no tomorrow.
Is that clear enough?
Duane in Seattle.
B.S., have you...
Well, yes.
1.4 faxes per night.
Dwayne.
The limits on faxing, yeah, I'd like it if you would hold it to once per night.
There are exceptions, you know, I mean, if something's going on and it's hot, then obviously, yes.
Otherwise, one fax would really suffice.
And generally, one page would suffice.
They are the ones that I tend to read because they're short to the point and so forth and so on.
So I prefer one, but I mean, if something's going on.
Now, if you send more than three pages, my fax machine will not print them, and I will not see them.
So you have wasted your money.
Now, I was forced to do that because of the number of faxes that I get.
But, you know, on one full written type sheet, you definitely ought to be able to convey whatever it is you want to say.
One other fax from Ron down in Birmingham, Alabama.
Dear Art, I looked for the L.A. Times article on your show without success.
Could you please announce where it was found, date, section, or page number?
Well, all right.
It was this last Saturday's L.A. Times.
It was on the front of the calendar section.
And I'll tell you kind of an interesting story.
My wife's mom lives in Orange County, so she grabbed some copies for us.
And when it got here, the entire article was there.
But it was on the bottom of the front page of the calendar section in black and white.
Then some of you sent me copies of the LA LA Times, and it was at the top of the calendar section, front page, and it was a very large, full color picture.
So apparently, I guess the LA Times in Orange County is somehow put together in a different way than the one that is intended for L.A. So that's where it was.
That's when it was.
I don't know if you can get a copy of it.
I suppose stuff like that is archived.
And I didn't think it, you know, it was not a bad photo.
I mean, you can tell me a lot of you, I know, saw it.
All right, it's off to Two Way Radioville.
And aside from Paul Niskan in here for a while, in the next hour.
Well, that's a pretty strong statement, isn't it, that the information may force a reevaluation of how the solar system was formed.
Wow.
unidentified
Yeah, I think, and, you know, you mentioned right after that that it sort of got you to think about God, you know, and I, you know, that's kind of what it makes me think about, too.
And I think God, and, you know, there's always this great argument between evolution and creation and how it was done.
And I see the possibility of God, a supreme being, simply saying, more or less, create, and then allowing the process to ensue without being involved in every little tiny detail of the creation as he was not involved in every little tiny detail or is not of our lives at the moment.
unidentified
Right, right.
I just sort of agree that that whole process is a little bit of a mystery and we shouldn't try to figure it out too much.
Oh, I'm getting more faxes from people who claim to be immortal.
You know, it's the dog-honest thing you've ever heard.
People claiming to be immortal.
There are more of them than you can know, and either there are a whole bunch of liars out there.
And I know this is going to give plenty of fodder to those who like throwing snowballs at me.
But maybe there is something to it.
Maybe there are some people out there.
I mean, I've had some very serious, very serious faxes.
People who claim they've been here for hundreds of years or thousands, thousands in some cases.
And I just, somehow it got brought up one night, and then I began to get the faxes.
And I'm not sure what to make of it.
Either there are some very articulate, credible-sounding people who absolutely claim to be immortal, or there are some very articulate, credible-sounding congenital liars out there, and I have no way of knowing which.
But I really do mildly suspect there may be something to it, and there may be some of those out there that don't simply don't age.
Okay, it survived one hour in Jupiter's atmosphere.
And in that hour, it sent back a real bundle of data.
And NBC said last night that NASA is saying the information due to be released tomorrow, quote, may force a re-evaluation of how the solar system was formed.
I always thought that it had something to do with centrifugal force and like the mass of different particles.
If you figure that Venus, if you took some of the carbon dioxide from Venus and put it on Mars and some of the water from Mars and put it on Venus, and here we are smack dab in the middle with the perfect amount for life.
In other words, any biological organism to live on such a planet would have to be incredibly dense, incredibly strong, and if that being was here, it would be literally Superman, certainly in strength, in the strength category, if nothing else.
bullets would not pierce his skin, that kind of thing.
But yeah, I do sort of agree with that general assessment.
We mess around, and then it's kind of like this thing in Australia where the scientists wanted to kill the rabbits, So they had a little island, they had an experiment, it got loose.
Now it's killing rabbits all over Australia.
Now there are people talking about it jumping hosts.
And it seems like when we mess with Mother Nature, yeah, she comes back and kicks us in the butt.
unidentified
Yep, I can relate.
Well, and thanks for the call and have a good show.
Lots to talk about, but you know what I'm going to do this hour?
I'm going to do this hour what I did in the last hour yesterday.
Now, it's going to be fun.
It's kind of a fun experiment.
And you know me, I'm a ham radio operator, so this is my kind of thing anyway.
And I'll tell you when I was a child, I had a dream that one day I would be on a 50,000-watt clear channel station.
I had that dream as a boy, listening to my actually my first radio that my mom got me was a seven transistor, they counted transistors in those days, a seven transistor GE radio.
And I would spend my nights listening to the farthest away station I could hear.
Well, now I've grown up, and my wish really has come true.
I hope yours can someday, or is now.
But mine has certainly come true in spades.
We're on about, I think, 244 stations right now nationwide, and a very large number of them are big, 50,000-watt clear-channel radio stations.
So yesterday at 3 in the morning, and this is what I'm a little unsure of, what are the better times to try this?
We may not be so good at this time across the pole.
I got calls last night from Norway, from Japan, from Johnston Island, from, oh gosh, just all over the place.
Okinawa.
We're heard all over the place.
But you see, at this earlier hour now, we have the advantage of the monster WOAI down in San Antonio.
And I'm telling you right now, because I was in Mazamon, they blast down there.
They're really, they go south like a rocket.
And some other Midwest stations like WJR Detroit, which must go all over the place, and so on and so forth, Como and Seattle.
And I really couldn't name them all, but we're radiating out all over the place.
And there are a lot of people who are what are called DXers.
So I hereby, for the balance of this hour, set aside the following number for only international calls.
International calls.
If you are, and I'm by that, now obviously we know we're heard in Mexico, but farther down would be interesting.
Heard in Canada, but farther up would be interesting.
But if you're out in the Pacific, Tahiti, Japan, Okinawa, Johnson Island, Guam, any of those far-flung places, and you're able to hear my voice, I'm going to give you a number.
I'm going to ask the rest of the audience, difficult as it is, to cooperate, and not call this number.
Just hold it open for international calls.
As of right now, the number to call internationally is one, or excuse me, in America, Area Code 7027271222.
Only internationally.
Call America at Area Code 7027271222.
And if everybody else would be kind enough to refrain for just one hour, maybe some of these people will be able to get through.
Let me give it one more time because I know there is a lot of fading out there.
So if you've got a big antenna up somewhere and you're hearing us way far away, let's devote this hour to seeing exactly where we can be heard.
Area code 702-727-1222.
Internationally only.
Now, otherwise, hi, Art.
Could you say hi to my wife, Lisa?
She's in my truck listening to your show right now, and she'd freak out.
Thanks.
Mike in Spokane.
No, Mike, I'm not allowed to do that.
We're talking about a most remarkable story dropped off at NBC's midpoint in their evening newscast about the Galileo probe.
It survived, as you know, one hour in Jupiter's atmosphere.
Not a long time, but long enough so that NBC said that NASA is going to release information tomorrow, now today, later today, that their words now, quote, may force a re-evaluation of how the solar system was formed, end quote.
Now, is that intriguing or what?
How the solar system was formed.
I wonder exactly what this will challenge.
It's an obvious statement.
You read between the lines.
It's going to challenge traditional scientific thinking.
And, you know, I mean, here we are.
We're people who can't even figure out if beta-carotene is good for us or not.
Well, we're kind of actually hoping you guys would be supplying that.
At any rate, we don't have the militia, and we don't have a massive loss of life or big cities shutting down or mass hysteria whenever we get a couple feet of snow or some cold weather and stuff like that.
So the four of us here are going to be a little bit more.
And the other thing is, the Clinton, here comes, okay, we don't want to put your government down or anything because us Canadians, A, we don't like to do that.
But at any rate, your military is spread so thin right now that four of us, or make that three of us, one of us looks like there's only three of us left here, are going to strap on our sealskin binding snowshoes as soon as your blizzard get bad and we finish this bottle at Canadian Club, and we're going to come down there and take over.
If that should come, do you think there would be a rush, and I'm sure there would, of refugees leaving Mexico, trying to get away from it, and coming right across our border up here?
unidentified
Some probably would.
Actually, as far as I'm concerned, I have a lot of friends who have bank accounts in Macau and Houston and San Antonio.
And this type of person will probably try to get across the border, you know.
It doesn't really create any problems for Americans because they come across the border just to spend their money.
As a matter of fact, you'd be a fun person to experiment with.
You know, we've got this video telephone coming, and I'm going to be setting it up this weekend, and next week we're going to be experimenting, and it's going to mean even from Australia, you could download a little software, load it into your DX, call a certain number I'm going to give out, and see me in full moving color with sound coming out of your sound blaster over a regular phone line.
I'd like to ask you about the weather in Australia.
It may sound mundane, but we're having what seems to be very weird, unusual, bizarre weather in America, both during this last summer and now our winter, your summer, I guess.
And I would like to ask you if the weather is what you would consider normal down under.
Just as we saw all this activity brewing in the north of us on our naval charts, the U.S. Navy that very day changed the color coding on the charts and screwed up the whole process so we couldn't see it for two or three days.
Well, Sam, it was very close because I almost read your first facts on the air and I just barely got, I mean, the email and I just barely got the second one in time.
Well, it may still be valid, but I wanted to double check because when the Navy expanded the color range on their chart, they did it so that they could take wilder fluctuations of temperature than we've been having.
They upgraded it.
Now, to us, what happens is when I try to subtract images from last week, from this week, it doesn't work because the colors don't match anymore by numbers.
So we've had to wait three days and then reload it, or at least three charts.
And I still see that we have troubles in Indonesia right up through the Philippines into northwest Australia.
A severe earthquake warning is all I can say.
I'm just looking over.
Iceland may have a couple of small ones.
New York is still under the threat.
Southern California, Oregon, Mexico is probably the worst in the northern hemisphere.
All right, well, look, the moment it becomes clear to you and you feel like making a definitive guess, you know, email me right away and I'll get it on the air for everybody.
All right, now I want to jump topics.
I've got an article here entitled Outbreak in the Outback.
And it quotes an OSU researcher.
I guess they had this rabbit virus, a hemorrhagic fever-type rabbit virus.
They released on a little island.
And they don't know how, but it got loose.
And now it's killing rabbits all across, or beginning to spread all across Australia and kill all the rabbits, 95%, they think maybe even 100%, before it's over.
And the scientist, Dr. Al Smith, says the following, quote, the worry would be the rabbit virus might jump hosts.
Well, I haven't seen a lot about it in the news or anything.
Rabbit viruses are kind of old news down here because we used to have what's called myximatosis, which was another genetic virus they put out to kill the rabbits.
We have millions and millions of rabbits in the outback, and they try to get rid of them as a plague.
I'll bet, yes, they go south quite nicely from San Diego.

Yeah, what I wanted to call you about, although I live in Mexico, I work in Trinidad.
And for those of your listeners who don't know where Trinidad is, that's at the south end of the West Indy Chain, just north of the north coast of South America.
Yes, sir.
Before I go on to what I wanted to tell you about something that happened to me recently, you mentioned that you are heard in South America, and I'm wondering if there's any way I can pick you up in Trinidad.
It sends a shock wave down, and that is then reflected from the subsurface strata back up to the receivers, and then that signal comes up the wire to the computers.
Well, just forward of that, about a mile forward of that, we tow a thermistor V-fin, which takes a continuous reading of salinity, temperature, and depth so that the computers can make sure that the sonic signal is accurate.
And forward of that, we have a side-scan sonar which takes a side picture of the, so that you get a contour of the bottom.
And you were dragging these devices behind you, measuring things.
And when we left off, something you said popped up, and I didn't get what that was.
unidentified
Yeah, it's called a Thermistr V-Fin.
It looks like it's a big fiberglass thing about eight feet wide.
It looks kind of like a big yellow fiberglass kite.
And it flies under the water, taking a continuous measuring of salinity, temperature, and depth.
And that information is sent up to calibrate the computer so that the sound signal that we send down sends up accurate information.
Anyway, this thing came flipping up to the surface with all kinds of alarms going off.
And everybody ran up on the bridge.
I happened to be on watch at this time.
I just relieved the mate.
And it was just getting dark.
The sun had set, and it was starting to get dark.
So we were moving at about three and a half knots doing all this stuff.
And about the time that the array of transponders, I should say, passed over the place where the thermistor had come up, the whole sea lit up back there.
You know, like a bright white light shining in the sea.
So there was some cloud cover at the time, and there were like beams, almost like you would think a searchlight was shining up out of the sea, because you could see it reflected on the clouds.
So I looked in the radar, and I was monitoring this place on the radar as we continued on, because you can't turn or stop or anything when you're towing all this stuff.
And meantime, they're trying to reel in the Sir Mr. V-Fin and get it back on board to see what happened.
And a target appeared on the radar, which at that time was about four miles behind us, so about a mile behind the array we were towing.
And it was a big target.
It looked like almost the size of a supertanker would show up at that distance on our radar.
We hauled in the Thermistr V-Fan, and it was mashed.
It had hit something really solid.
Now, the bottom there is pretty muddy, and the Thermistr V-Fan is anyway, you know, kept well off the bottom, so there's really no chance that it hit anything on the bottom.
All right, I've got to move on here, but I want to know, how did you lose it or how did it disappear?
unidentified
Well, the target remained on the radar for about 20 minutes as we were, you know, continuing to track west, and then it just faded out or disappeared.
I don't know whether the thing submerged or went off somewhere, but in any case, we didn't pick it up on the radar.
And we turn around and go back and we do a sort of zigzag transect all along that area.
And we didn't encounter anything like that again.
So I guess my question for anybody else that's listening is any other mariner or anyone encountered any similar experience where they've seen lights come up out of the sea like that.
So this is just one of many, many, many similar type faxes that I have had from people who claim they are immortal.
And I do not totally discount these people.
So, therefore, I hereby open our immortal slash alien line.
now when i say alien i mean not somebody up here from mexico taking american jobs or not an american down in mexico vacationing in spending money in a foreign country i mean somebody from another planet another solar system possibly one of the
Their words, folks, not mine.
And coupled with that, the announcement by NBC, quoting NASA sources, as saying later today the Galileo information will be released and that it may challenge all our concepts about how our system was formed.
And you've got a good night to open the alien slash immortal line.
So, if you are an alien from another dimension, another planet, or a less, more than, I guess I should say, more than mortal human being, as in immortal, one line is now reserved hereby for you.
Now, I should tell you that casual, weird, or bizarre-sounding, fakey-sounding aliens get short-shift.
Faky-sounding immortals get short-shift.
Credible, articulate aliens and immortals get a longer shrift.
Coming from a couple of galaxies away, we would all be interested in how you manage that, considering that we feel we are limited by the speed of light.
unidentified
Well, we use what now I'm sure we've advanced as you have advanced, but we used electromagnetic craft.
See, but you're disappointing me, because now you're hoping to be frozen, and that's all fine and well, but you're not obviously a certified immortal at 35.
You know, what I really want to know is, and I'm sure I asked you this before, but you're going to have to, I sound like Johnny Cochrane, refresh my memory.
Well, you have an opportunity here to speak to the rest of mortal mankind.
unidentified
Thank you, sir.
I appreciate that.
If you would allow me, I have something to be able to prove and be able to help the people to get to them that will come to pass if you would allow me.
So you will have the sign itself of an earthquake that follows a line from central United States coming up through Michigan right straight to Manhattan.
no she worked there not not not not not the woman you married i'm saying you said you saw her later than with And the last time I saw her was 13 years later.
Yeah, I'm kind of ashamed to be calling, as a matter of fact.
Why?
Well, I see, the thing is, is all about faith and love and I really, well, Well, you know, if somebody who actually knew him were to make himself known and were to call and were to...
I'm saying that if you knew who I was, and if you know who I am, then you would know that Christ was a real man who was the Son of God and who rose from the dead.
yeah yeah yeah so so so anyway really i'm um i i By what means am I immortal?
Extraterrestrials is just a name that's been put on the latest formation of how certain entities among the creatures that dwell in the beyond, they've taken that form and it's been placed on them by humans.
Well, extraterrestrial, terrestrial, timeless, this is your big opportunity to give a message to all of us who inhabit this planet, who are not immortal, haven't been here since time began.
What do you want to say to everybody?
unidentified
I would have to say that humans need to look back towards the people that knew how to journey and to make allies in the beyond and had certain ways of dealing with the mysteries of what we call our world and other worlds.
Well, okay, I'll start on the alien part is I have a very unearthly urge to call late night talk shows and explain my alien nature.
And I'm immortal as far as I have an unending beyond beyond all time and space to continually, as most people in the human race is, to make up stories, and that's also an immortal.
Ray Bream, I think, had a pretty good relationship with Mr. Posner, and interviewed him ongoing for a number of years, and I never did get the opportunity, but I would enjoy that.
unidentified
Well, I was traveling across country one evening about seven, eight years ago, and listening to a talk show, and there was a gentleman that was interviewing him, and I've only listened to you for about a year that I know of.
Also, my other thing was a historical tip, that you being a Mason and all, I heard that the only two U.S. presidents that weren't Masons were Kennedy and Lincoln.
I said, how can you be sure it's not just a series of secret facelifts?
unidentified
A facelift.
Well, I'm talking about people that run into her that have some type of seemingly clairvoyant ability remark always.
They always remark, you have a very old soul.
Right.
You know, I don't know either way, but she has special abilities, one of which is to tell, she can tell me when we're going to get money, an unusual large amount of money, her hands.
Okay, I think maybe what we're going to do is to pre-sell the books with a very special little secret mark on them and then allow people to bring those books, but whether they'll be sold on the spot or not is up in the air right now.
So all of this is in the formulation stage, and we'll let you know.
Every time I hear about Hellbop, there's a new estimation about its size, a new estimation about how close it will pass to Earth or where it will cross Earth's path, whether it will be a big show or a fizzle.
So I don't think they know.
I mean, we're talking about people who don't even know whether beta-carotene is good for you or bad for you.
Duncan wrote this book, I think it was 93, but it's got a 95 published date on it.
It was plainly before Hailboff.
But he's saying a doomsday scenario for the world would be if a supercomet, which is what they're pretty much classifying Hailboff as, would fly into our solar system, and what would happen there is eventually we would fly through some cometary debris.
Well, it's made up of many materials, is it not like a giant?
Some think it's constituted with a rock center.
Nobody knows for sure.
unidentified
Yeah, there's speculations.
They're figuring it's sulfur and carbon and gases, you know, various components there.
But they've had historic accounts where we have flown through the tail of like a dead comet, the debris in the sky, and it's killed tens of thousands of people and crushed villages in China.
Just cataclysmic events that we're not real familiar with.
And it sounds like a very, very interesting story.
unidentified
It is very interesting, and I'm still learning every day as my life goes on, yes.
As I was saying, this was in Manhattan, this was in New York City, and after wandering around for half the night, I realized that I had some sort of purpose.
I still don't know what it is.
I went back to the brothel, the house where I worked, and I had had some money saved.
And I took all the money that I had, and I went out, and I found a room for myself and just groomed myself.
And I needed to acquire money, and the best way I knew how to do that was to get a wealthy gentleman.
All right, there is one other eternally, good word, important question to ask a person like yourself, and that is, is your status, in your opinion, a blessing or a curse?
unidentified
It is a bit of both.
It's very lonely having the ones you love die on you.
I loved both the men I married very much, and they both outlived me.
But I was going to say I was planning on flying into Portland from where I am to see you, but I don't know if I'll do that since now I just broadcast it over you.
Well, see, now you've cast out, so you can come to the book signing in Portland because they don't really know whether you're going to be there or not.
It may have already happened, and that virus that's out there that has been released, it may be simply a matter of time before the mutation occurs that will produce the effect that you just talked about.
unidentified
Well, it could happen.
I think it's the only way that Now, here's a more important question.
Mr. Bell, why don't you seek out, and maybe I'll help you if you need help on this, a decent climatologist who can really enlighten us as to what's really going on with the weather.
