unidentified		Welcome to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
unidentified		Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from the 4th of July, 1996.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		From the high desert in the great American Southwest on the 4th of July.
		I bid you all good morning, good evening, as the case may be, as we are live tonight.
		Yet another recurgent-bated recycling relentless repeat of the real thing right now from the Caribbean in the U.S. in South America to the pole.
		This is Coast to Coast AM.
		Top OV morning, everybody.
		I'm Art Bell.
		It's good to be here.
		And as I said, we're live, not taking a day off, nor will we tomorrow.
		Be here both days and Sunday on Dreamland as well.
		So you get live talk radio, and I imagine across the dial it is nothing but regurgitation.
		Anyway, we may do We may do a little truth or trash.
		It seems like kind of a truth or trash night to me.
		And that's a lot of fun.
		Some of you will not know what truther trash is.
		But you're about to find out.
		Let me roll by a few things here.
		One, I thought this was appropriate.
		Mr. Bell, all of you, happy Independence Day to you and your family.
		220 years in counting.
		I hope it is not a countdown.
		Cheyenne in Palm Springs.
		That's a good question.
		You think it's a count up or a countdown?
		Are we counting forward?
		Or are we counting forward to some end point?
		I don't know.
		Hard to say.
		Now, the latest from Saudi Arabia is kind of a surprise.
		No fertilizer bomb over there, folks.
		3,000 pounds of plastique, normal construction type plastique called RDX Rapid Explosive type plastique.
		And they found part of a timer.
		This, then, is a sophisticated weapon.
		And not some crude thrown-together fertilizer type bomb.
		So in other words, somebody with a lot of money did this.
		Now, it still may be somebody inside Saudi Arabia, but they have ruled out Iraq, they have ruled out Syria, and they have not ruled out Iran.
		It may be Iran.
		If it is, we've got a problem.
		Or the president has a problem.
		The day is going to come when we are going to come to blows with the nation of Iran.
		It is not if, it's when.
		We'll see.
		An independent safety inspection team has a dire warning for the U.S. Space Agency.
		Either you slow plans to cut shuttle program costs or you risk a serious accident.
		Anybody want to take a ride?
		Boris Yeltsin appealing in his victory for reconciliation with the Communists.
		Not very likely.
		President Clinton praising Yeltsin's victory.
		LA partying as usual.
		Five injured there in an immigration protest.
		The question whether illegal aliens should or should not receive benefits when they come to this country.
		And one person was injured seriously.
		Several others injured somewhat less seriously.
		No more bodies found in the fireworks factory that blew up.
		And so that story continues.
		The first lady has marked American independence by being overseas in Czechoslovakia.
		Very patriotic.
		And Charles has made Diana an offer of, I don't know, 30 million, something like that, and she can keep her title.
		And that is about the extent of the news, as it is, on this day.
		Now I've got a few items that I want to get out to you because I didn't get them out until late yesterday.
		In fact, this one, not at all.
		I just got this email, and I want to read it to you.
		Art, I'm an airline pilot for a major airline in Los Angeles.
		Recently, about June 30th, all aircraft, I repeat, all aircraft flying over the Pacific to Honolulu lost all Omega navigation for 12 minutes.
		Omega is a worldwide all-weather navigation system based on eight omega stations around the world, 10 to 30 kilohertz.
	It measures position by looking at the changes in the phase angles of the received signal.
	It is highly unusual to lose all Omega reception.
	FAA ATC for the Pacific sector should be able to verify this.
	Our pilots had a handheld GPS satellite navigational unit for backup.
	Could this be HAARP?
	I would say yes, it could be.
	10 to 30 kilohertz, huh?
	Yes, that would be down in the HAARP area.
	And that would be in the affected area, no doubt about it.
	All right, here's one I read yesterday that I'm going to read again because it is highly unusual.
	Remember the demon seeds?
unidentified		Hmm.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, let me read you this.
		Art, dear art, here is a copy of a recent Seattle Times ad, which I ran in an effort to contact Bill about the demon seeds.
		He did read it.
		In fact, we met.
		We're now in the process of concocting an effective poison to kill the mutant bastard being plants.
		This particular flora appears to be an isotopically altered member of the, and I can't pronounce it, C-Y-C-A-D-O-F-I-C-I-L-I-C-A-L-E-S, if you want to try fine, which has also been genetically spliced with some fauna-related gene, henceforth, the disgusting fruit and flowers.
		This is a horrible plant that took over this man's yard and scared him.
		That produces, it just grows wildly without being able to stop it, produces meaty-smelling, horrible, disgusting fruit and flowers.
		Anyway, just as soon as we have this awful mess cleaned up, I'll get back to you with some photos and the proof I promised you in my previous letter.
		It is expedient that we concentrate our efforts on eliminating these gruesome Frankenstinian ferns.
		Our neighbors are complaining, and the local authorities are beginning to get suspicious about the recent rash of disappearing cats and dogs.
		We've even heard rumors about some satanic cult being locally active.
		I wish it was as simple as that.
		If we don't get all the roots, we'll never be free of this monstrosity.
		Art, Bill, and I are both scared.
		How many of these horrible seeds are out there, just waiting to spread their killer fruit throughout our unsuspecting, defenseless neighborhoods?
		Maybe Major Dames could help.
		Whatever you do, Art, don't plant any more of the demon seeds.
		May God have mercy on us all.
		Worried in Seattle, signed, Bob.
		Indeed, he sent me a copy also of the Seattle Times ad, and it's a big one in the announcements section in big bold print.
		It says, Bill, I heard about your problem from Papa Bell.
		Must be me.
		I can help.
		Meet me in the Japanese gardens at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, 73.
		You may remember me if you've been listening recently, worried in Seattle.
		So the story of the demon seeds continues, and I keep them in a dry, warm place.
		Now, earthquakes, another one.
		Southern Alaska, not too terribly far from, well, let's see, about 55 miles northwest of Anchorage.
		This one registering about 5.5 on the scale.
		A business article from the San Francisco Examiner.
		You know what happened down in Mesa, Arizona where you can't smoke on the sidewalk?
		Well, guess what, folks?
		You're not allowed to smoke even in your car, even in your car, at Motorola.
		Company property is now a smoke-free zone.
		Motorola Inc.
		thinks having a phone in your car is great, but workers who smoke a cigarette in their own cars on company property can now get fired.
		Fired.
		Now, everybody knows the telephone bone is connected to the smoking bone.
		And whenever you go on the telephone, you've got to have a cigarette.
		Now, I don't know why that is.
		It's like the smoking bone is connected to the eating bone and the sex bone, and you know all about that, right?
		So now we find that you're not going to be able to even smoke in your car.
unidentified		There's not going to be anywhere left.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Nowhere left.
		Smokers are going to become extinct dinosaurs.
		Bad, bad, bad water.
		Washington, D.C., the water is so bad, EPA says you better boil it before you drink it.
		The elderly and sick, in fact, must boil it or risk death.
		Apparently, Washington, D.C. now has a higher bacterial count than allowed by the EPA.
		So there you've got it.
		Bad, bad water in Washington.
		All right, now, this is a holiday, so we are going to just have some fun tonight.
		Now, what do I mean by that?
		A lot of you are new to the program and have never heard Truth or Trash.
		Truth or Trash is an interesting little game that we play.
		Very entertaining.
		And what I do is I set aside one phone line and only one phone line to tell a truth or trash story.
		Now, by the very nature of its name, you can tell truth or trash means exactly that.
		You can call up and tell us, weave a tale, a story, an absolute, unadulterated lie, if you want.
		Or the story can be absolutely true.
		But the object of this little game is to fool our panel.
		I will let you tell your story.
		And it should be a good one.
		By the way, no ghost stories, no UFO stories, no Bigfoot stories.
		Because it's very subjective.
		Very hard.
		You know, I saw a UFO.
		Well, is he telling the truth or trash?
		Who cares?
		Who knows?
		There's no way to know.
		Now, what kind of story do I want?
		Well, true life stories.
		Well, I'd say true life could be baloney.
		But things that otherwise would be true life.
		Stories of the weird, the bizarre.
		Stories that Rod Serling would be proud to turn into a script.
		Strange and weird and bizarre stories.
		That's what I want.
		Generally revolving around real life.
		So I will allow you to tell your story on the appointed phone line.
		Then I will take the best three out of four calls.
		And the panel will either trash your story or affirm your story.
		Think, in other words, they will say, well, yes, sounds truthful to me.
		The object of the game is to fool the panel, whether you are telling the truth or it's a lie.
		The object is to fool the panel.
		And I must add that more times than not, the panel is rather easily fooled.
		So we will see.
		Now here's the way it works.
		If you want to tell a story, you call Area Code only this one number, Area Code 702-727-1222.
		702-727-1222.
		That is the only line in which you can call and tell the story.
		Now, when you call as a panel member, rendering judgment on the person's story, you're allowed to ask them questions.
		If you need a point clarified, you're allowed to ask them questions.
		So you see, I keep them on the line.
		After they've told the story, they will stay on the line, be available for your questions.
		That's the way it works.
		And through the night, I guarantee you will hear some weird and bizarre stories.
		So if you have a good truth or trash story to tell, the number to call, area code 702-727-1222.
		I figured tonight would be just a perfect night to do such a thing.
unidentified		The new version of the Coast to Coast AM app is here, now available for Android as well as iPhone.
		For Coast Insiders, it offers the ability to download the most recent shows so you can listen to them at your leisure.
		The new app also has listen live and streaming features, plus recaps, contacts, and upcoming show info.
		Coast Insiders with Android System 4.0 and above, or iPhone, check out our new app at the Google Play or iTunes stores, or link from the Coast website.
		Looking for the truth?
		You'll find it on Coast2Coast ADM.
		Nobody wants to, obvious.
		But I don't know who to believe anymore.
		Because, you know, if something happens, you would think, oh my gosh, this is real terrorism.
		But then on the other hand, if you say, this is just their way of saying we need to implement more of these controls, not everything is a conspiracy.
		The problem is, you have to look at everything as if it's a conspiracy because nowadays, you just don't know.
		You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
		Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from July 4th, 1996.
		Coast to Coast AM from July 4th, 1996.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, as a panel member, after we've heard the story, you can call any line and render your judgment.
		Now, that would include the wildcard lines at 702-727-1295, the toll-free west of the Rockies line at 1-800-618-8255, or east of the Rockies at 1-800-825-5033.
		Now, if a story as told is not a good story, I will not even turn it over to the panel.
		So it's got to be a good story.
		And here we go.
		Comes Marv from the state of Washington.
		Hello, Marv.
unidentified		Hello, Art.
unidentified		How you doing?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm fine.
unidentified		Very good.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you have a truth or trash story?
unidentified		Yes, I sure do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		Okay, I was flying a C-123 support aircraft for the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds out of Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You flew for the Thunderbirds?
unidentified		I flew.
unidentified		Yes, I did.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wow, all right.
unidentified		And it was a bad weather day, but we finally got the cloud ceiling to rise high enough for takeoff.
unidentified		So as we were climbing out through the weather, the hinge pin in the right jump door came out and the door swung out about 90 degrees.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Excuse me, what is a jump door?
unidentified		Okay, a jump door is in a C-123 type aircraft.
unidentified		Okay, this is a support aircraft now.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		This is a door you open to jump out.
unidentified		Right, like we had paratroopers aboard.
unidentified		They would be in the back, and we opened up the door and they jumped out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I got you.
		All right.
		All right.
		I got you.
unidentified		Okay, so the jump door came open and swung out about 90 degrees and wedged in the door opening with half of the door sticking out of the aircraft and half inside.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, very bad.
unidentified		Yeah, this caused severe buffeting.
		Now, we couldn't turn around to land because the weather at Nellis, Las Vegas, McCarran, and Indian Springs were now below minimums for landing.
		So I made a decision to continue south to Luke Air Force Base near Phoenix.
		Now, at that time, one of our wing de-icing heaters stopped functioning, and we started to accumulate wing ice.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, man.
unidentified		So we descended to a minimum altitude to clear the mountains we were flying over, and we picked our way visually between the peaks.
		Now, as we started our descent to Luke, we experienced a right engine prop donor failure.
		It was a runaway prop.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, Mars!
unidentified		Yeah, so I shut down the right engine, and my co-pilot notified Luke Air Force Base of our emergency condition, that we have an engine out, a door jammed in a half-open position, and manual and minimal de-icing available.
		Well, Luke then told us they had a jet trainer aircraft with a flame out that was coming in, and since we still had one engine turning, they asked us to extend our landing approach so as to be behind the jet emergency.
		Now, as we turn in for our final approach, we lower the landing gear, wing flaps, and start our final approach to the runway.
		Suddenly, we got an oil pressure failure light on the remaining left engine, and the engine was seized.
		Now, since the C-123 only has two engines, it became very quiet.
		we started dropping like a rock.
		Our main gear touched down on an asphalt runway overrun about 40 feet short of the runway, and we bounced up and forward just enough to land on the concrete runway, and we came rolling to a stop.
		We then had to be towed into the parking ramp with a tug.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So, you actually glided in, really?
unidentified		Yeah, well, we kind of fell in, more or less, because we were on our way, we were on our descent, and when the other engine seized, we just continued the best we could, and we landed short of the runway, but luckily enough, it was a paved surface, and as we hit it, we bounced up and we landed on the runway and just rolled to a stop.
		And then we had to be towed in.
		How's that for a nail biter?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's a nail biter, all right, Marv.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You were then in the Air Force?
unidentified		Yes, I was.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And how long ago did this occur, Marv?
unidentified		This happened in 1961.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Did you have a long talk with the engineer after all this?
unidentified		Oh, yeah.
		Well, you know, we have on a C-123, we don't really have an engineer aboard at all.
		We just have the two pilots, and then we have a crew chief who's in back.
		But we don't have an engineer aboard the 123.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		By the way, were you surprised what happened in the Ron Brown crash?
unidentified		Yeah, kind of.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Kind of, huh?
unidentified		Yeah, I'm not sure.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Even after your experience.
unidentified		Right, I'm a little leery of it.
unidentified		Seems like there's a lot of unknowns there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, Marv, I'm going to have to ask you to hold on now.
unidentified		You bet.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And don't go away.
		Stay right there.
		All right, fine.
		And gee, plane literally disintegrates in flight, and they barely touch down with no engines running at all.
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		You are listening to Art Bell somewhere in time.
		Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from July 4th, 1996.
		Coast to Coast AM from July
		Coast to Coast AM from July 4th, 1996.
		4th, 1996.
		Now we take you back to the past on Park Bell somewhere in time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Good morning, everybody.
		We are playing Truth or Trash.
		It's the holiday.
		It's a weekend.
		And we just got a story from Mars.
		Sounded like some movie Memphis Bell.
		I'm telling you.
		This plane literally disintegrated in the air.
		And then landed, hit the runway, short of the runway, landed with no more power, no more engines, no more really anything.
		So, what do you think?
		Truth or trash?
		Now we go to the other lines to find out your rendering.
		East of the East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		What do you think?
		Truth or trash?
		Well, it's hard to believe.
		In other words, you're saying trash.
unidentified		I'm saying trash because what he's saying, that he lost his one engine.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		And then he had ice buildup.
unidentified		The door opened up.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, the door opened up first, I believe.
unidentified		Well, the door opened up first time.
		That would bring incredible drag.
		I can believe that the plane was lower then.
		But then losing the one engine with the ice building up, you would think that the plane would start toppling off to the one side.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You want to ask Marv why that didn't happen?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, how come that didn't happen, Marv?
unidentified		Well, because you just use your other engine to control the amount of power that you've got on it, which will keep it from rolling.
unidentified		We have buffeting, but in order to keep it from rolling, you just increase the power on the other engine.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So anyway, you render up a trash on it, eh?
unidentified		I render.
unidentified		It's hard to believe with an aircraft that old.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		With today's technology, an aircraft like that with computer simulating something like that would say crash, crash, crash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Trash, trash, trash.
		All right.
		Thank you very much.
		There is one who says trash.
		Remember, it is the best three out of four.
		West of the Rockies, you're on Marv's Disintegrating Plane Story, truth or trash.
		Hello there.
		No?
		A wildcard line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Marv story, truth or trash?
		Yeah, hi, Art.
		I'll tell you, the way he told that story, it sounded very believable to me.
		I haven't been in the Air Force or around planes too much, but it sounded very believable to me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It did.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		He told it well, didn't he?
unidentified		Yes, very well.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Good.
		Thank you very much.
		I appreciate that.
		West of the Rockies, Marv Story, truth or trash?
unidentified		I'll say truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you're going to say truth.
		All right.
		One more truth, and Marv wins.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Where are you calling from, please?
unidentified		Hi, Art.
unidentified		This is Herman from Weeping Water, Nebraska.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Weeping Water, Nebraska.
		All right, Marv's Memphis Bell Story.
		What do you think?
		Truth or trash?
		Trash.
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, well, the next one decides it then.
		All right.
		Thank you very much.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		I think it's trash, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash?
		All right.
		All right.
		Well, are you sure?
unidentified		Well, I'm not positive, but I've read a lot of books on aviation.
		I think that a C-123 was an old prop-driven job from quite a few years ago, and that it probably doesn't have like very good de-icing boots on it.
		And why would it need it in Texas?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Point, good point.
unidentified		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		There you go.
		They have trashed your story, Marv.
		They say it's garbage.
unidentified		Well, they're wrong because it's 100% absolute true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is, huh?
unidentified		Yeah, as you know, living there in Nevada, in the wintertime, it can get a little bit cool in February at the time that you're not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely, and at altitude, certainly it would.
unidentified		Well, sure.
		There's a mountain range just south of Nellis there.
		I guess it's called the White Mountain Range.
		And as we were getting going across that, is when dissolved, well, actually, when the de-icing took place.
		But the door did jam just shortly after takeoff.
		And I'll tell you, that was an exciting flight.
		I had to change my plates when I got there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I understand.
		Marv, I thank you.
		You have fooled the panel.
		As usual, the panel begins by going down in flames.
		Now you see how it works.
		If you've got a truth or trash story, the number to call is area code 702-727-1222.
		would not have wanted to have been on that flight.
unidentified		sad music
		You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
		Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from July 4th, 1996.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Here we go again on my Truth or Trash line.
		You are on the air.
		What is your first name, please?
		Oh, wait a minute.
		I've got you on the wrong place here.
		Hold on.
		Now you're on the air.
		What is your first name, please?
unidentified		Vinny.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Vinny?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where are you, Vinny?
unidentified		I'm calling from Burlington, Vermont.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Burlington, Vermont.
unidentified		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, Vinny, you're going to have to get good and close to the phone and speak up so everybody can hear you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let's have it.
unidentified		All right.
unidentified		I used to drive a taxi cab for a company here in Burlington, and one of the drivers found a duffel bag full of $100 bills, and he turned it into the company owner.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		He did.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right there, right there, a lot of people are going to have a whole duffel bag full of hundreds.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, man.
unidentified		$100 bills.
		And he turned it over to the company owner who said that he was going to wait and see if the money was claimed.
		And apparently the money was never claimed.
		And he gave a portion of the money to this guy and kept the rest.
		And now he seems to be buying up a lot of the other companies like a Limo Company and other airport taxi services.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wait a minute now.
		The taxi driver turned it over to his boss.
		The boss waited for somebody to claim it.
		Nobody did.
		And then he kept a lot of the money?
unidentified		Excuse me?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Then he kept a lot of the money?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What did the taxi driver have to say about this?
unidentified		He was just happy to receive a little bit of the reward for being a good citizen.
		He's one of these Joe Citizen kind of people.
		I don't know what the hell was wrong with him.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, actually, this is a very, very good truth or trash story, Vinnie.
		Hold on a second.
		We'll find out what the audience thinks.
		Now, I don't want to color anybody's response out there, but how many of you buy what you just heard?
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Vinny's money story, truth or trash?
unidentified		Well, Art, I mean, trash?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash, huh?
unidentified		Let me ask your caller there.
		All right.
		I mean, this is such a stupid story.
		Did the $100 bills have Howard Stern on them or something?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, I take it they were real hundreds, right, sir?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Vinny?
unidentified		Excuse me?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		They were real hundreds, right?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Real $100 bills, that's what I thought.
		All right.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Vinny's story, truth or trash?
unidentified		Truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Truth?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		you think there's why why would you think well Well, I don't know.
unidentified		It just sounds truthful to me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		And honest, too, I would say.
		Yeah.
		At least on the part of the driver.
		All right.
		Thank you.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Where are you calling from, please?
unidentified		Calling from Palm Springs, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Palm Springs.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Truth or Trash, Vinny's big money story.
unidentified		I think it's true, Art, because I had something similar happen one time where I gave back a lot of money like that.
unidentified		And it's got a good feeling off of it, so I can believe that somebody else might do the same thing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		All right.
		Well, I'll tell you.
		Oh, I better not say anything.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Nick Hansen, and it's trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash, huh?
		All right, that's two for trash and two for truth.
		That means the next one decides it.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Vinny's story, truth or trash?
unidentified		Yes, Lord, I would have to say I think it's trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash, huh?
unidentified		Yeah, the story just seemed too generic and, I don't know, it didn't seem like it, uh...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sometimes, of course, the simplest things are true.
unidentified		Could be.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, all right, all right.
		Thank you very much.
		All right, well, they have trashed your story, Vinny.
unidentified		Oh, I'm sorry.
		The thing that bothers me the most is that it's true, and I wish you would have turned that money over to me.
		I don't know if I could have been so honest.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The part I don't understand is the taxi driver went away happy.
		This is what blew me away.
		I'd have trashed it, Vinny, because the taxi driver went away happy that he got a reward for turning money over to somebody whose money it wasn't in the first place.
unidentified		Uh-huh.
		Exactly.
		It's true.
		It still bothers me, but it's true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How much money was in it?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you have any idea?
unidentified		I would say it was like the kind of baggies bring to a gym.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		Maybe, I don't know, maybe a million or two.
unidentified		Unbelievable.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, Vinny, thank you.
		You have fooled the panel.
		That's two down now for the panel.
		The panel doesn't get very many right.
		You people are very easily fooled.
		Remember now, this story can be absolute truth or total garbage.
		Total trash.
		You can weave it and make it up.
		Thing is, though, if you do that, you've got to think about it fairly carefully, and you've got to make up a good line.
		You've got to tell it well.
		You can't sort of sputter the story out.
		On my truth or trash line, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you have a truth or trash story?
unidentified		Yes, it's Beth and Boise.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi, Beth.
unidentified		When I was 13, we moved to Hutchinson, Kansas.
unidentified		My father rented a house until we could find something that we wanted.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And my sister and I lived with our folks.
		We decided we wanted to go to the movie one evening, so our folks drove us there, gave us some money, and we got the hour the theater movie would be over, told them they said we'll be back to pick you up.
		He gave us about $1 each.
		We went up to buy the ticket and decided we'd seen the movie.
		So we went next door and bought a limeaid and Teen magazine and a comic book, got a cab, and came back home.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		And our folks weren't there.
		And we came in.
		We sat and we read the magazines, drank our limea.
		Apparently one of the blinds was up a little bit.
		And I heard a noise at the back door.
		So I told my sister to wait and I walked back quietly close to the kitchen and I could hear this noise at the back door.
		So I came back, got a revolver, loaded revolver out of a buffet.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How old were you?
unidentified		13.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		13, all right.
unidentified		I've been raised on a cattle ranch.
unidentified		I knew about guns.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Got a gun, yeah.
unidentified		And my sister wouldn't stay alone, so she came with me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		So we made this plan.
		There was a pull-down blind on the kitchen door with a window in it.
		And there were two switches by the door.
		And I said, no, when I let this blind switch up, you turn on both switches.
		So there's a light in the kitchen and one on the porch.
		Anyone could have gotten in the house with a skeleton key.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Gotcha.
unidentified		So I did.
		And there was a young man, I'd say 22, 23.
		He had gotten the screen door open with a knife.
		I saw it in his hand.
		And he was working on the lock on the door.
		And I screamed at him, get out of here now or I'll kill you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That should have impressed him.
unidentified		His eyes got big, really big, and he couldn't move.
		I could just hear him saying, old feet, don't fail me now.
		And he finally ran.
		I went and called the police.
		My folks actually arrived home before the police got there, which they got there quickly.
		And that was it.
		The reason this happened, I had lost a kitten a few days before, and I'd gone around the neighborhood asking about the kitten.
		I came to this old house, had a father and about three grown men in it.
		They said, I don't know.
		Come on in, I'll ask my brothers.
		And I said, no, thanks, and ran home.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So what was it, one of the brothers?
unidentified		Well, yes, it turned out to be one of the brothers who had spent time in reform school and some time in prison.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So, Beth encounters Bad Guy, and I'll tell you, Beth, I'm not going to submit that to my panel because it's just, I don't know, it's a story, but not weird enough.
		Unfortunately.
		Isn't that strange?
		I appreciate the story, Beth, but in today's world, the encountering of somebody who would break into your house, Beth, is just not that unusual.
		Isn't that sad?
		That itself is probably sort of a sign of the quickening, isn't it?
		Now, let me try again.
		Truth or Trash Line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
		Hi, my name is Teresa.
		I'm from Los Angeles.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Teresa, L.A., how you doing?
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, you got a good story for us?
unidentified		I think so.
unidentified		The people where I work thought it was really weird.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, let's hear it.
unidentified		Okay, it started one morning when I was driving to work.
		I was just driving along and I heard a weird noise, and then I realized it was in my head.
		I was like hearing, you know, like ESP or something.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Someone's calling you, Teresa.
unidentified		Oh, no.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yes.
		Well, we'll ignore them.
		Okay, so anyways then, You heard a noise that was in your head?
unidentified		Yeah, I was driving along and I heard a noise.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		And I never heard it before.
		I couldn't figure out what was wrong.
		I was thinking, you know, I've really lost it.
		Well, this went on for about a month.
		And then finally, and it not only happened in the car, it would happen at work just at random times.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		what kind of a noise can you can you make a sound that like An explosion?
unidentified		Yeah, like a weird noise.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		Okay, so then about a month later, I was driving to work in the morning again, and I got hit head-on by a semi-truck.
unidentified		And at the moment of impact, I heard the noise.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		Yeah, it was the exact noise.
		And then after the accident, the noise went away.
		I never heard it again.
		So what I was really doing was hearing my own accident before it even happened.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, now that is fairly incredible.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And that went on for a month, Teresa?
unidentified		It went on for about a month.
		I could be going for a walk with my dog or driving.
		It would just happen randomly.
		Not every day, but I would hear this weird noise.
		And then during impact, I realized, my God, that's what I've been hearing all this.
		Oh, I couldn't believe it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		We'll call it Teresa's Big Bang story.
		How's that?
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		So what do you folks think?
		Truth or trash?
		An explosion in Teresa's head, which went away at the moment of impact.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified		I think it's trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You think it's trash?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You didn't think that was pretty well told?
unidentified		I think it was well told, but I still think it's trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		I'll tell you, I've had a precognitive experience.
		Not that far in advance, mind you, but I've had one, so I don't know.
		I would have said it's trash.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello?
unidentified		I think it's true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You think it's true?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You think Teresa told it well, and the sound and tone of her voice was truthful, huh?
unidentified		Yeah, I pretty much believe her.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Teresa's Big Bang story.
unidentified		Yeah, Art.
unidentified		I'll give it a truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You will say truth, too.
		Okay.
		All right.
		Thank you very much.
		Where are you, sir?
unidentified		Eugene, Oregon.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Eugene, Oregon.
		All right, thank you.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Teresa's story, Big Bang.
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		I think it's trash, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash.
		Boy, it's coming down to the wire on all of these.
		All right, that's two for truth, two for trash.
		This one decides it.
		What do you say, truth or trash?
unidentified		All three trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash.
		So we have trashed Teresa's story.
		All right, where are you calling from, sir?
unidentified		San Diego.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Teresa, they say it's trash.
unidentified		It's true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's true.
unidentified		It really happened.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So the panel once again goes down.
		That's three in a row, three up, three down.
		The panel crashes again.
		All right, Teresa, thank you.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Take care.
		Again, the only line now that you can call to tell a truth or trash story is 702-727-1222.
		All other lines are devoted to panel renderings.
		On my truth or trash line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		This is Grand Rapids Gregg.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Grand Rapids.
		Yes, sir.
		Do you have a truth or trash story?
unidentified		Yes, sir.
		Okay, it was back in the 70s.
		I was living with my girlfriend.
		Her father come stay with us for a while.
		About the first to third of every month, he used to get a check from the government.
		Well, he used to go on a drinking binge.
		Well, one of these drinking binges, he had been gone for about two or three days, and my girlfriend was getting worried.
		We hadn't seen him.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		So we had no idea where he was.
		Well, she got to work one morning and then she left, and then I got up, took a shower, and in the back of the house was this bedroom.
		And every time I walked past this bedroom, I had a feeling there was a presence.
		So I opened the door.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, wait, wait, wait a minute.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		This is not a ghost story, is it?
unidentified		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		No.
		I had a feeling of a presence in there.
		And I looked in there and there was nothing in there.
		Well, every time I went past it, three or four times, it went past this bedroom.
		And this happened two other times.
		And finally, I thought the bedroom was this closet.
		I went up the stairs, this closet, and it goes into the attic.
		And there he was, passed out on the floor upstairs in the attic.
		So I woke him up, you know, got him all taken care of.
		Well, two or three days later, he went out again, had another drinking bench, and we couldn't find him again.
		Well, then I had this feeling again that was outside the house.
		We had this broken down car in the driveway.
		The timing chain had broken on it.
		And I walked by the car, and there he was, passed out inside the car, over the driver's seat, and he was passed right out.
		Well, two or three days later, again, he went on drinking bitch.
		We couldn't find him.
		And I had this feeling again outside the house.
		And this is the kicker.
		I love this one.
		I thought it was quite appropriate.
		I had this present.
		He was, like I said, outside the house.
		So I went out behind the garage and we had this old abandoned doghouse.
		There he was inside the doghouse.
		I thought it was quite appropriate.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		He was in the doghouse?
unidentified		Yes, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's a very interesting story, but I think I shall not submit it.
		I thank you for telling it to us, but I'm not going to submit it to a panel.
		It's sort of subjective in the doghouse, huh?
		All right.
		Well, these must be quality stories now, people.
		Quality stories.
		Do you hear me?
		So when we come back, we'll make another stab at it.
		A couple of them were pretty good here.
		So far, the panel's gone down in terrible flames.
		One, two, three in a row.
		We only submit the good ones to...
unidentified		The trip back in time continues, with Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM.
		More Somewhere in Time coming up.
		More Somewhere in Time coming up.
		If the parents don't pleasant, I want to love you.
		I feel you.
		Premier Network presents Art Bell somewhere in time.
		Tonight, featuring Coast to Coast AM from July 4th, 1996.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What we're doing is playing truth or trash, and I better get some good stories here, or we won't be for long.
		These have got to be weird, Rod Serling-like stories, no ghost stories, no UFO stories.
		You can either lie your tail end off, or you can tell us the absolute truth.
		We will then submit it to the panel, and they will tell us whether they think it is truth or trash.
		So here we go with another one.
		Let's see what we get.
		This sounds kind of interesting.
		What is your first name, please?
unidentified		Bill.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Bill.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Bill, where are you?
unidentified		Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, you've got a story for us, I guess.
unidentified		Yes, this was during when we were still at war with Japan.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		This would have been about 43, 44.
		I can't remember what year it was.
		Sure, my uncle told me about it.
		This was when we were still experimenting with the atom bomb.
		It wasn't perfected yet.
		This was a contingency in case the atom bomb failed.
		And this was outside of Phoenix, Arizona.
		21st Bomb Group under General Curtis LeMay is using bats as bombs.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wait a minute, wait a minute.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You mean bats like bats that fly around at night?
unidentified		They were experimenting because...
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How would you make a bat bomb?
unidentified		Well, see, what they were going to do is take thousands of bats.
		And Japan was almost about 80% wood and wood products.
		And what they were going to do is throw incendiaries into these bats and drop them from D-29s over Japanese cities.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Drop bats from D-29s.
unidentified		In cages.
unidentified		And what would happen at 2,500 feet, these cages would open up.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And the bats would fly out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's true.
unidentified		And within two to six hours, these incendiaries would go off.
unidentified		And they would burn the city.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my God.
unidentified		And my uncle told me that they had built in the desert outside of Phoenix a town similar to a Japanese city.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		And they dropped these bats and it totally destroyed the town.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're kidding.
unidentified		That's what he said.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's the only thing I've ever heard.
		So what did they do?
		How did they get the incendiary stuff into the bat?
unidentified		They would sew it onto the wings or onto the body.
unidentified		I'm not really sure.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, man.
		That is an incendiary story, actually.
		Absolutely amazing.
		All right, Bill.
		Bill's bat bomb story.
		Man, that's incredible.
		Can you imagine that?
		Bats with incendiary devices sewn onto them or into them.
		You drop it, the cage opens at 2,500 feet.
		And it's true, of course, the buildings in Japan were mostly all wood, so they would nest, and then they would go off.
		And that was an alternative plan, says Bill, to the atom bomb.
		If it didn't work, that's incredible.
		West of the Rockies, Bill's Bat Bomb Story.
		What do you think?
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		Hey there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello?
unidentified		Yeah, it's truth.
unidentified		I've got the story in the book.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You've got the story?
unidentified		Yes, I do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you know it to be true?
unidentified		I know it to be true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, I've heard a lot about World War II.
unidentified		I've got a picture of one.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You do?
unidentified		Yes, I do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, all right.
		Where are you?
unidentified		I'm in Southern California, a place called Al Paloma.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Thank you very much.
		There's one who says truth.
		East of the Rockies, Bill's Bat Bomb story.
		What do you think?
unidentified		I think it's true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You think it's true, too?
unidentified		Mm-hmm.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're not saying that just based on what my last caller said?
unidentified		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		All right, thank you.
		Where are you?
unidentified		I'm Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Milwaukee.
		All right.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Bill's Bat Bomb story.
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		I'm going to have to say it's true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		True?
unidentified		yeah i read a book called the environmental wars and they talk about something just like that crazy as it sounds All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		That's three in a row who say true.
		And so there you are, Bill.
		Every one of them says it is a true story.
unidentified		Yes, it is a true story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, finally, the panel gets one.
		How about that?
		So they really dropped.
		But did they ever actually drop bats on Japan?
unidentified		No, they didn't.
		The atom bomb worked.
		That's all.
		That was just a contingency plan in case the atom bomb failed.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely amazing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, my friend.
unidentified		Thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Take care.
		Now, see, that tells you the kind of story that I want here.
		Boy, that was amazing.
		Amazing.
		Never heard of such a thing.
		It's the first time, and I've heard a lot of World War II stories, you know.
		It's the first time I ever heard anything, anything like that.
unidentified		Square
		You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
		Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from July 4th, 1996.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Coast to Coast AM I'm the judge of those stories that get submitted to a panel.
		That's how it works.
		All other numbers are panel renderings, truth or trash renderings.
		And remember, you can ask the storyteller a question if you wish.
		Here comes our next.
		What is your first name, please?
unidentified		My first name is Eugene.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Eugene?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, Eugene.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What is your story?
unidentified		Well, I was up in Nepal trekking, and I went into the Royal Casino in Kathmandu, and I was digging around for some change to try out these slot machines.
		I didn't know much about gambling.
		I set my wallet on the roulette table on one of the numbers, kind of inadvertently, and the number came up five times, and it broke the bank.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		we should have been a way to any time You set your wallet there?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You didn't take the money out of your wallet?
unidentified		It was full of travel checks and the like, and they were the cash, and they were hanging out of the wallet.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you just set it there, and that number came up?
unidentified		Each time the number came up, everyone would go, ooh, rupees boxes.
unidentified		You know, it meant like big money.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, and so then you broke how much money?
unidentified		Well, I don't know exactly how much I won.
		What I did was I told them it was just a mistake and said to forget the whole thing.
		And they go, ramoro, buggy money.
		I go, what does that mean?
		Something about money?
		And they said, no, it means good luck in Nepalese.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
		That's an interesting story, but I can't buy it.
		You know why, Eugene?
unidentified		Why?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Because how could they know the size of the bet based on just the money being in your wallet?
unidentified		Well, they opened the wallet up when I first set it there, and they took the bills out, and they set the wallet back down off to the side on the little green area.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, oh, I see.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		And then they asked if it was mine.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And so now, you didn't take the money?
unidentified		I was surprised.
		I saw all the winnings there, and I looked at my wallet, and it was empty.
		I really started to scratch my head, wondering what was going on.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But you didn't take the money?
unidentified		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm disqualifying you, Eugene.
		I can't believe that myself.
		No, no.
		That story has more holes in it than Swiss cheese.
		That's just impossible.
		That's absolutely impossible, Eugene.
		I'm not submitting that to a panel.
		Secondly, if they did win, they sure as hell would take the money.
		So I'm not, that's not a good story.
		On my truth or trash line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi, Art.
unidentified		This is Roger.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi, Roger.
unidentified		How you doing?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Fine.
unidentified		Do you have a good story?
unidentified		I got a good story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let's hear.
unidentified		Late last year, I had a job where I was a delivery person, and I live here in Las Vegas, and I was going into one of the local casinos here.
		I won't name it.
		And at that time, I mean, I was dead broke.
		It was like my, you know, like my third day on the job.
		So I went in the casino, came back out, and As I was coming out I was walking by some bushes and I saw some money laying there.
		So I picked it up and it was $40.
		You know, it was no big deal.
		So I thought, well, you know, I gotta do another week before I get paid, before I get my first paycheck.
		So I kept twenty to get me through and I went back into the casino and, you know, I like to play slot machines every now and then.
		And they had one of the one of their slot machines was a was a progressive quarter machine and the jackpot was was up to like $72,000.
		So I went in there and I got $20 in quarters.
		And on my third pull, I hit the progressive jackpot with $72,000.
		No kidding.
		Okay, now this is only the first part of the story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you hit a $72,000 jackpot.
		Right.
		With found money.
unidentified		Exactly.
		Like I said, I kept pointing for myself.
		Okay, now the second part of the story is I've always been interested in the stock market and investing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
unidentified		So earlier this year, well, I ended up with like $55,000 after they took out taxes and everything.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sounds about right.
unidentified		So I had to pay off a few bills, so I held back like $6,000.
		And I called my broker up, and there's this penny stock that I've been looking at for a number of years, and I did a little research on it.
		And I sank $50,000 into this penny stock.
		Can I give the name of the company?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		Okay.
		It's a comparatory system to know if somebody's knowledgeable about trading in the stock market.
		They'll know what I'm talking about.
		So I sank $50,000 in there.
		And the stock at the time I bought it, I bought it for $0.05 a share.
		Right.
		Here, about three months ago, the stock went up to $2 a share.
		I sold it at $1.50, and now I'm a millionaire.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're a millionaire?
unidentified		I'm not kidding.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my God, what a story, Roger.
unidentified		I went from dead broke to a millionaire.
		I just got the job.
		Like I said, I wasn't going to get paid for another week.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, this is a superior story, Roger.
		I've got the story.
		Stand by.
		Roger goes from zero to a million.
		Finds $20, hits a $72,000 jackpot, invests $50,000, and is now a millionaire.
		What do you think of Rogers Rags to Riches story?
		It's one of the best I've ever heard.
		Truth or trash?
		What a great story, whichever it is.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Rogers Rags to Riches story.
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		All right, nobody makes money like that.
		I'm calling from Detroit, and I think his story is total bullcrap.
		It can't be real.
		People just don't make money like that on penny stocks.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, well, we don't say bullcrap.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We say trash.
unidentified		Trash.
unidentified		I'm sorry about that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I want to be trash crap.
		It's trash, Art, no doubt.
		All right.
		Well, all right.
		Well, don't say nobody does it.
		Listen, I live near Las Vegas.
		Things like this do happen.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		What do you think of Roger's incredible Rags to Riches story?
unidentified		Well, I'd have to agree with the last colour.
unidentified		I think that's a bunch of trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The thing that got me was I thought he said at first that the progressive jackpot was 7,000, and then when he later continued with his stuff, Isn't that right, Roger?
unidentified		Yep, that's right.
unidentified		So he said that both at the same time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So, okay, so they thought they caught you misstating a figure.
		I say, all right, well, that's two for trash.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Roger's story of riches in Vegas, truth or trash.
		Hello there.
		No, East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		What do you think of Roger's story?
unidentified		I would have bid at $72,000 on the Progressive, but no way he went and made himself a millionaire afterwards.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So it's absolute trash, huh?
unidentified		Trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		They have trashed you, Roger.
		One, two, three.
		Absolute trash, they say.
		What do you say?
unidentified		It is trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is trash.
unidentified		But the truth of the true part of the story, compared to our systems, it did go to $2.
unidentified		And that guy who said you can't make money on penny stocks, he's absolutely wrong.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wrong, huh?
unidentified		Oh, well, it was a hell of a lot of good story, Roger.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I really like the story myself.
		All right, my friend.
		Thank you.
		Thank you.
		Take care.
		I thought that was a good story.
		And anyway, the backup part of it with regard to the penny stocks was correct.
		Now, I should have asked him whether he actually made any money or not or is just one of the fish that got away.
		First time caller line.
		Actually, truth or trash line, you're on the air.
		Well, no, you're not.
		Now you are.
		Where are you calling from?
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		Yeah, I'm calling from Timor, Wisconsin.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.

unidentified		It looked like a wolf.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		And the only thing is it was standing on two legs and it took off down the field and we took out some flashlights to hit in the back seat there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And?
unidentified		And we looked back there at the flashlights and It was gone.
unidentified		We couldn't make it out, so we didn't know what it was exactly.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you hit something?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, that is not going to the panel.
		16-year-olds hit things driving all the time.
		Yeah.
		Not putting that one to the panel.
		If you want to tell a truth or trash story, and it's good enough to be submitted to a panel, I mean, that was just, you know, it's something 16-year-olds hit something all the time.
		First time, truth or trash line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello?
		Yeah, all right.
		This is RC in Seattle.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Okay, I got a story for you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, go ahead.
unidentified		You have to hold on here a second.
		I'm driving a truck.
		Getting off the freeway now.
		At any rate, I was in Maui with my girlfriend.
		This is about nine years ago.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And we decided one day to go get some ice cream.
		So we pull into this place today, some ice cream, and we're there getting our selection.
		And we get ours, and she looks back, and who comes into the ice cream store but Tom Selleck.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Tom Selleck.
unidentified		Tom Selleck.
		And my girlfriend at the time, she was the type of person that used to get really riled up whenever someone came in.
		Saw someone, you know, someone like that.
		Famous, yes.
		So she's there, she's grabbing my arm and stuff, and I'm just like, take it easy, take it easy.
		So we get our ice cream and we leave out there.
		She was so shocked that she couldn't even say hi to him or anything.
		So we get out to the car and I've got my ice cream.
		I look at her, I go, where's your ice cream?
		And she's like, I don't know.
		She ended up leaving it inside.
		So she wants me to go back in there and get it for her.
		I'm like, there's no way I'm going back in there to go get that for you.
		You go get it yourself.
		So she still wouldn't go in.
		I go, okay, fine.
		I'll go in there with you.
		So we go back into the ice cream store.
		And she goes up to the counter and it's not there anywhere.
		And she can't figure out.
		And he taps her on the shoulder and says, excuse me, I am who you think I am.
		And you put your ice cream cone in your purse.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So Tom Selleck told her she put her ice cream cone in her purse.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Had she done that?
unidentified		Yeah, she did.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, that's a pretty good one.

art bell ▲ ● ▼		You think it's true?
unidentified		It sounds like something that would really happen.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, somebody might do that.

		And your job, your mission is to fool the panel, and so far the panel is, I don't know, Not quite even.
		They're pretty close to even.
		Wrong once more than right, I believe.

unidentified		Houston, Texas.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Houston.
		All right.
		What's first name?
unidentified		Lance.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Lance.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, Lance, let's hear it.
unidentified		In 1965, I was working on Keepus Cain Island down off the coast of Florida.
		And I was driving back and forth through Rickenbacker Causeway each day.
		And I worked the second shift, so I got off late one night.
		I drove home, and I saw a car parked on the beach with a hose from its exhaust into the car.
		I saw a lot of people.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You got meaning like somebody committing suicide?
unidentified		Yes.
		I saw two guys standing by the car, well over eight feet tall, probably 450 pounds each.
		Big guys.
		Yeah.
		They was dressed in black.
		Biggest guys I ever saw in the light.
		I was in a 57 Chevrolet doing about 70 miles an hour down the causeway.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, wait a minute now.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Did you stop?
unidentified		No, I did not stop.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You didn't stop?
unidentified		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're doing 70 miles an hour?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		I'll tell you in a minute because I saw this, and telepathically, one guy said to the second guy, Do you think he saw us?
		The second one said, No, I don't think so.
		The first one said, Good, it saved his life.
		Now, you understand, I couldn't hear him doing 70 miles an hour, but I heard him say it.
		Believe me.
		Well, I went back home.
		I was living on the mainland.
		Next morning, I got went and bought a newspaper trying to find out what had happened.
		The names are kind of sketchy.
		One of them was named Dr. Valentine, and one was named Dr. Jessup.
		I think, and an article said that Dr. Jessup was taking a manuscript that involved the Philadelphia project out Rickenback Causeway to Kevin's Cane Island to give him the book, but he never made it.
		But these two guys were the last two living doctors that had been involved, and for four days, I walked around in 1959.
		And it was one of the scared aspects of the world.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And what was the real date?
unidentified		The real date was I was living in 1965.
		This was six years earlier.
		And the newspaper, I went and bought the newspaper, and some of even the buildings weren't even there yet.
		So it looked like I was locked out of time or locked in another time or something.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So Lance traveled from 1965 to 1959 and spent four days there?
unidentified		Right, to witness this murder.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		To witness the murder.
unidentified		Yeah.
		Holy.
		It wasn't that suicide.
		And these two guys were involved in this time machines and stuff.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, Lance.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		By the way, Lance, there's two important questions.
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Were you doing drugs?
unidentified		Absolutely not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How about Booz?
unidentified		Nothing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't care.
		All right, all right.
		Just had to ask, Lance.
		Had to answer.
		Had to ask.

		Well, you're off the air now.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Where are you calling from?
unidentified		Well, I'm calling from Seattle.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, and what do you think of Lance's time travel story, murder?
unidentified		Well, it's absolutely trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely trash, huh?
		you don't believe in time travel no i i call it a day of my third but There's only one line to call to tell a story, and that's area code 702-727-1222.
		East of the Rockies, what do you think of Lance's four-day foray into 1959?
unidentified		I think he's on drugs now, and it's completely trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, let's find out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Lance, are you on drugs now?
unidentified		Absolutely not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, well, that sounds like a very convincing absolutely not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		West of the Rockies, Lance's time travel story, truth or trash?
unidentified		I'm going to have to say it's trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, Lance, they have uniformly trashed your story.
unidentified		Every word the truth, I swear to God.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's a strong swear.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You really swear it's true, huh?
unidentified		Art, that happened.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, Lance, we're going to have to take your word for it, and the panel goes down in flames again.
		Thank you, Lance, and take care, my friend.
		Well, I don't know if I buy that one myself, but you've got to admit that his denials of any sort of use of controlled substances or otherwise were strong and clear.
unidentified		Pewds
unidentified		Now we take you back to the past on Art Bell Somewhere in Time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Art Bell Somewhere in Time Back now to Truth or Trash, and you are on the air.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What is your first name, please?
unidentified		This is the Reverend from St. Paul.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The Reverend from St. Paul.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, you've got a story, Reverend?
unidentified		Yes, I sure do, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		Okay, when I was in about eighth grade, eighth grade freshman year, I don't know, I was doing some work for a local community theater called the Chimera Theater.
		And they had their theater in the annex of the St. Paul Downtown Science Museum.
		Well, I went downtown, took the bus to, you know, the job.
		I was a, how do you call it, backstage hand, like a gaffer?
		Right, right, except, you know, for theater.
		Yeah.
		So I got downtown and I looked at my little sh timesheet of what time the performance was, and it said 3 o'clock.
		Well, and it was only 2 o'clock.
		Well, I said, I got time.
		I'll stop by the magazine shop and do whatever.
		Then I started walking.
		You know, right as it hit 3, I started walking.
		And then, as I'm just about getting there, I realized that the call time was supposed to be one hour before the performance.
		So I'm actually like 15 minutes late at this point into the performance.
		I started to panic, and I'm starting to think up of excuses to call the stage manager because, you know, you know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I know how that works.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Believe me, I know.
unidentified		So, and then, you know, see, I was pretty irresponsible as a kid, you know, so I've been late a couple times before, and I'm walking along, and I'm trying to think of some excuse, and I'm thinking of my stage manager's reaction.
		And I remember last week, she had said something, or I had made a send an excuse, and she said, yeah, sure you did.
		And I was thinking of that.
		Now, keep in mind, the theater is at the science museum.
		So at this point in the day, there are school buses lined up with kids taking field trips, right?
		And just as I'm about 10 feet from the door, I thought of this, her saying, yeah, sure you did.
		All of a sudden, I hear out loud, yeah, sure you did.
		I look over to the back seat of a bus, and I come eye to eye, gaze right into this kid's eyes.
		He's smiling ear to ear, and he slowly turns and looks back in the bus.
		Huh.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So he read your mind?
unidentified		That was my immediate thought.
		I was taken aback a little bit, and then I walked in the room and basically forgot about it until later that day.
		Well, what excuse did you give?
		I told you the bus broke down.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The bus broke down?
		well that's a good story but it is kind of subjective and there's no way the panel can know really So these have got to be good stories, and that was an interesting story, but not a panel-worthy story.
		So I will not submit it.
		Those with stories call area code 702-727-1222.
		And you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Yeah, I turned on the radio hang on.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Turn it off, actually, all the way off.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		better if you do that.
unidentified		Yeah, this is Pete here in Denver.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello, Pete.
unidentified		And I don't know if you've ever heard of this or not, but there's a little device called a Levitron.
		It's a magnetic type of a play toy.
		science behind it of sorts, where you set it down and you spin this little magnetic top and then you lift it up.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I know exactly what it is.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's like an adult Rubik's cube because it's so damn hard to do.
unidentified		Right.
		And I was introduced to this at a friend's house.
		And while very desperately trying different weight adjustments and different things, Pete, Pete, Pete, not everybody knows what a Levatron is, right?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A Levitron is a little device.
		There's a flat magnet, and you've got little shims and stuff you can put in it.
		And then you spin this little thing, and you lift it with a piece of plastic, and this thing spins hanging in the air as if by magic.
		It is amazing.
		That is a Levatron.
		All right, go ahead, Pete.
unidentified		Okay, so my friend tells me that he tried doing this for some months with no avail.
		I told him that I was sometimes lucky at things like this and that I should give it a try.
		So I give it a try a couple of times and all of a sudden in my mind something tells me, let him do the spinning and you do the raising with the little plastic thing to raise it up.
		Well I do this and that seemed to be a good mind connection thing because we actually got the thing to work.
		And it spun for, oh, gee, I don't know, maybe a couple of minutes, I'd say.
		And while it was spinning, and all the time that I had been concentrating with my mind on how to raise this thing without tipping it the wrong way, I was telling him about a mosquito attack that I had ran into when I was on a vacation trip some years before.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Okay.
		This particular mosquito attack was a kind of a prominent thing because these damn mosquitoes, he was telling me that he'd seen these same types of mosquitoes.
		They were huge, like helicopters, little miniature ones, of course.
		But he said that they were a tiger mosquito.
		And he said, yeah, he'd heard about them and seen them.
		He said, they go right straight for you and zoom in on the blood.
		They don't hover around a little bit and decide to land somewhere.
		They just hammer on you.
		And I said, yeah, that's the thing.
		Well, two days later, I went to see my son.
		And my son and I are visiting with each other.
		And out of the blue, as if that my son had mentally, through mental telepathy or something, heard or been in that room somehow or the other, started talking about this story that I had told my friend about the mosquitoes, and he was laughing about how funny it was.
		And this flat blew my mind because I had not told that to him.
		I mean, prior to this.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm not sure how all this relates, Pete.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Levatron, mosquitoes.
unidentified		Well, the thing is, is that I believe, or I feel, that somehow or the other, my mind's conditioning and trying to make the Levatron work made my mind work like a mental broadcasting system to my son's mind.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		I've got you, Pete.
		I appreciate the story, but again, it's not panel worthy.
		There's just no way.
		I mean, it's a very subjective kind of thing.
		How's the panel to judge whether such thing is so?
		On our truth or trash line, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello, where are you?
unidentified		Oh, calling from Seattle.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you have a good story?
unidentified		Well, I don't know.
unidentified		I'll give it a try.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, it's got to be a good one.
unidentified		Oh, I think it's pretty good.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What is your first name?
unidentified		John.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, John.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let's hear it.
unidentified		Okay.
		About three or four years ago, my wife and I were in Mexico, and we went out somewhere to, actually we went out to dinner, and when we got back to the hotel, we realized that everything had been,
		while we were out, some thieves had come into the hotel room, and they had ransacked the place and essentially taken everything of any value.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
unidentified		Except our camera.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		They left your camera?
unidentified		They left our camera.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, that's weird already.
unidentified		Well, we couldn't figure out why the devil, you know, they took traveler's checks.
		They took my watch.
		They took a lot of my wife's jewelry.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I've gotcha.
unidentified		Everything of value, but left our camera.
		And it was a fairly expensive camera.
		It was a Canon with an expensive lens.
		Anyway, we didn't think much of it.
		Well, you know, we were surprised.
		We didn't think a lot of it.
		Came back and reported the loss to the insurance company, waited for the money to come and didn't think a lot of it.
		And then what we did was we noticed that the camera or the film was at the end.
		And we thought we'd had a few pictures left.
		There's a 24-exposure row.
		And we thought, oh, gosh, there's on like 14 or 15.
		So the whole row was shot.
		So took it in, had it developed, got the pictures back, started flipping through them.
		And I hope this doesn't gross anyone out, but we started flipping through the pictures, and to our horror, at the end of the film, last couple of pictures, the thieves, when they came in the hotel room, they had taken pictures of each other sticking our toothbrushes in their rear ends.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, that's disgusting.
		That's disgusting.
		That's absolutely disgusting.
unidentified		They were holding the brushes up with grants on their faces.
unidentified		It was all kinds of seafood.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, that's horrible.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		However, it is people worthy.
unidentified		Oh, man, that is disgusting.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I presume the toothbrushes were left in the room, right?
unidentified		We had been using them ever since.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, John.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, John.
unidentified		Ha!
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I almost hate to even ask, and I hope to hell it's not true.
		But let's find out.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		John's disgusting toothbrush story.
		What do you think?
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		I got a true story for you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, no, we're not taking stories, sir.
		That story, truth or trash?
		It's true.
		Oh, you think it's true?
		All right, all right.
		Oh, I hope not.
		I hope not.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		John's story, the horrible toothbrush story, truth or trash.
unidentified		It's trash.
		It's urban legend.
		It was in this month's Playboy with a bunch of others.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		Yeah, an article on urban legend.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Truth or trash?
unidentified		I think it's a bunch of crap.
unidentified		Bunch of.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		John's horrible.
		Whoops, would have been.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Uh-oh, uh-oh.
		My machine has gone kafui on me.
		Oh, no.
		What do I do now?
		Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no.
		Now, see, I've got him on one, so I can't use the other.
		I've got a problem here.
		Let me see if I can get this sucker to work.
		No, see, I'm not going to be able to get it to work.
		All right.
		Well, we're never going to get a panel rendering because I'm going to have to reset this little monster.
		Well, this is radio.
		What the hell?
		I'll just go down and reset it right now.
		What do I care?
		We'll push stuff aside here and we'll pull this off.
		And it will reset and then it will work.
		So let's put it back on.
		And I've really got to get to get a rendering on this.
		All right, let's try it.
		West of the Rockies, John's story, Truth or Trash.
unidentified		I think it's true because it's so weird.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is about the weirdest thing I've heard.
		Also, the most disgusting.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		John's horrible toothbrush story, truth or trash.
unidentified		It's too sick of a thought.
unidentified		I'm going to say trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash.
		All right.
		It's something you would not hope to be true.
unidentified		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		John, they say it is trash.
		It's close, but they say trash.
		What do you say?
unidentified		Urban myth.
unidentified		Absolute trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank God.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You got that out of Playboy, did you?
unidentified		No, no, no.
		Actually, a friend of mine told me that that had happened to some friends of his, and then I thought the story was so absolutely hilarious.
		I told it to a couple of other people, and they said, and everybody knew someone who said that that had happened to them in Kijuano or in Baja.
		Somebody even told me it had happened to them in Detroit.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, my friend.
		Thank you.
		I am not going to get over that toothbrush story for some time to come, I'm afraid.
		Well, all right.
		The stories are improving, degenerating, but improving.
unidentified		God, that was awful.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely awful.
		Urban legend, not a good one either, but sort of sickeningly interesting.
		That's the category I put it in.
		All right, we're going to break here and we'll do more truth or trash.
		It is the July 4th holiday weekend.
		Anything goes, obviously.
unidentified		The trip back in time continues with Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM.
		more somewhere in time coming up and
		I'll see you next time.
		Now, we take you back to the past on Art Bell somewhere in time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is a holiday weekend, and so we are playing something called Truth or Trash, and the last story will be with me for the rest of my life.
		Oh, man, it was awful.
		I'll never look at a toothbrush in a motel the same way again, ever.
		It's horrible.
		horrible, horrible, horrible.
		Truth or Trash is...
		I need a very Rod Serling-like kind of story.
		No ghost stories, no precognition stories.
		That sort of thing.
		Just doesn't, no UFO stories.
		Those kinds of things don't fly.
		These have got to relate in some way to real life, and they've got to be weird, really weird.
		Hard to believe, or I guess easy to believe, but weird.
		Now you can lie your tail end off, or you can tell the truth.
		Object is to fool the panel.
		The panel is actually doing better than normal this morning.
		A little bit better than half, I would say.
		The panel has been nailing my callers.
		And here comes another one.
		The only line on which you can tell a story, now I need to make that clear.
		There's only one line where you can tell a story.
		That's area code 702-727-1222.
		702-727-1222.
		All other lines are for rendering judgments on the stories.
		And on my Truth or Trash line, you are on the air.
		What is your first name, please?
unidentified		This is Cindy Art, and I'm calling from Carson City.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, Cindy in Carson City.
unidentified		Okay, I've got a Twilight Zone story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		This happened in California about the early 1990s in a high desert area near Victorville.
		I was homeless, and I was living in the back of my truck, and my boyfriend was living in the back of his truck at the same time.
		So we had this little dirt road where we always camped out out in the desert, and it was close enough to town so that we could see the housing tracks around us on to the east of us.
		And so on this particular day, we had argued in the morning before he went to work.
		When it was time for him to come back from work, I was sitting in my truck and I dozed off.
		And then the sound of his truck coming woke me up.
		And so I was, you know, a little groggy on waking up.
		I looked outside and everything kind of glowed like yellow-orange, you know, like when there's a fire and it kind of makes everything, okay, that's what it looked like.
		But there was no fire.
		And for some reason, everything just looked strange, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
		So I could hear his truck real close, but I still couldn't see it.
		And I saw the dust rising off the road, but I couldn't see the truck.
		So I had to tinkle, but for some reason I was afraid to get out of my truck.
		I opened the door and I had my truck.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wait, wait, wait.
		You had to want?
		Tinkle.
		I want tinkle.
unidentified		Okay, so I opened up my truck door, but I was afraid to step out on the ground.
		And I didn't know why.
		I thought, well, maybe there's a snake under there.
		Maybe I'm kind of getting some kind of, you know, feeling about that.
		So I closed my truck door and I laid down on my seat and I thought, well, I'll just have to hold it for a few minutes till he gets here.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I know how that goes.
unidentified		And he never got there.
		I fell asleep, and a couple hours later, I woke up again.
		The yellow glow was gone.
		And by this time, I had to tinkle real bad.
		So I got out, didn't have any hesitation, got out, went to the bathroom, and walked to this little dirt knoll that was real close by the road there, looking for my boyfriend.
		He was nowhere in sight, but I could see his tire tracks had been on the road.
		So I thought, well, the only other place he could be is at his sister's house.
		So I drove over to his sister's house, and sure enough, there he was.
		And I said, well, how come you didn't come out?
		You know, how come you didn't come out to the desert there to meet me?
		He said, I was out there.
		He said, I could see where your truck pulled in, but your truck wasn't there.
		He said, I couldn't see where your truck left, but I could see where it pulled in.
		And I said, boy, that's really strange because I could see your track, but I never saw your truck.
		So then I started thinking about the yellow glow in the sky.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, we've got to keep your story straight here.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It was orange when you began.
unidentified		Well, yellow-orange.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, like fire.
unidentified		Okay.
		So I started thinking back at how everything looked weird, how I couldn't quite place my finger on it.
		Well, the housing tracks that were to the east of us there, some of them were there, but not all of them.
		And the plants, you know, the sagebrush and stuff that grows out there, when I stopped and thought back about it, they weren't big, mature plants.
		They were small plants.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're saying that you popped back in time.
unidentified		Exactly.
		So we called it our Twilight Zone story.
		He could see right where I had pulled in, but he couldn't see my truck.
		I could see where he drove by, but I couldn't see his truck.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I got that.
		All right, Cindy, I kind of like that.
		Cindy Travels in Time.
		Now, the part of the story that I liked was the housing tract.
		Not all of the houses there.
		The bushes, smaller than they were.
		Kind of adds a little flavor to the story in the yellowish-orange glow.
		West of the Rockies, Cindy's time travel story.
		What do you think?
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		Yeah, I think it's truth.
unidentified		I think she's probably abducted by aliens or something.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		So maybe she had some missing time.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Cindy's time travel story.
unidentified		You said this is Patrick in Portland, and this is important.
unidentified		I can confirm that Lantha's story about the death of Dr. Jessim contains at least a grain of truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's a past story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now we're up to Cindy's story.
unidentified		Well, it's from the Philadelphia experiment.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I know.
unidentified		I knew you were aware of it.
unidentified		I just thought that people out there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, what about Cindy's story here?
unidentified		I don't know anything about Cindy's.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, well, thanks for the call, then, because that's all we're taking is renderings on Cindy's story.
		East of the Rockies, Cindy's time travel story.
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		I'm going with trash, Ark.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash, all right.
		All right.
		West of the Rockies, Cindy's story.
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		Trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash, all right.
		And East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Cindy's story.
unidentified		Trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash.
		All right, that's it, Cindy.
		They have trashed you.
unidentified		It is the absolute truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is?
unidentified		It is the truth.
		And when I told my other friends about it, they said, you know what?
		This would only happen to you.
		It is the truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		You've stumped the panel.
		Thank you.
unidentified		Twilight Zone does exist.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, thank you.
		Well, you know, I don't know.
		It could be.
		I wouldn't automatically blow that one off.
		I liked some of the details in that.
		I liked the shorter bushes and trees, the homes that had not yet been built that should have been there.
		I thought that was pretty good.
		On my Truth or Trash line, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Yeah, this is David from Ukaya.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you have a good story, David?
unidentified		Well, I think so.
unidentified		This goes back to the middle of World War II, 43, 44 in there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		And at that time, they were drafting celebrities from Hollywood, you know, and they put them through basic training.
unidentified		And then when they finished with that, they put them into shows, the USO and whatnot.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
unidentified		And this happened to Mickey Rooney.
		He found himself in basic training, and he ran afoul of this officer, young lieutenant, or whatever that had a dislike for celebrities.
		He thought they were smart and whatnot, you know, and all that.
		So give them a pretty bad time.
		So they went through basic training and all this.
		And this officer put Mickey Rooney in charge of the latrines.
		So come the day of the big inspection, you know, and the general and their whatever, colonels and the lieutenant and all that.
		Mickey Rooney had cleaned up the bathroom, and the last one, the one that he stood by, he got himself a jar of peanut butter and took some and spirited on the inside of the pot, you know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, geez.
unidentified		So here comes the lieutenant and everybody, and he lifted the lid up, and the lieutenant looked down and said, Private Rooney, what is this?
unidentified		Nikki Rooney leaned down, stuck his finger in it, licked his lips, I think it's bleep, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, no.
		All right, that is worthy of.
		That's disgusting.
		God, that goes with the toothpaste, the toothbrush story, which those of you who just joined us this hour will have been lucky enough not to have heard.
		East of the Rockies, the Mickey Rooney story, truth or trash?
unidentified		Truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Truth!
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Have you heard that story somewhere else?
unidentified		No, I haven't.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You haven't?
unidentified		Where are you?
unidentified		In Chicago.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In Chicago.
		All right, thank you.
		So there's a truth.
		All right, West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		The Mickey Rooney peanut butter story, truth or trash?
unidentified		Yeah, you must have really thought hard about that one.
unidentified		That's got to be trash, all right?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash, all right.
		That's one and one.
		Wild card line, you're on the air.
		Mickey Rooney story, truth or trash?
unidentified		It is trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash, all right, that's too trash.
		It's another one I sort of hope is.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Mickey Rooney story, truth or trash?
unidentified		I'm going to say trash because I don't think Mickey Rooney could reach the toilet.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let's find out.
		All right.
		David, truth or trash?
unidentified		Well, he swears it's true.
unidentified		He told that story on the Old Tonight Show before Johnny Carson was on it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're kidding.
unidentified		And he swears up and down that he did that, and I wouldn't put it past him.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, well, we'll have to render it truth then based on that.
		And you have befuddled the panel and lowered their score.
		Thank you very much, David.
unidentified		Okay.
		Okay.
		Sheesh.
		You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
		Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from July 4th, 1996.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Music Music Music Music Music Now back to the lines.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you have a truth or trash story?
unidentified		The truth, Art.
unidentified		I'm calling from Stockton, California.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The truth is you're calling from Stockton, huh?
unidentified		Right.
unidentified		I was going down the highway, and I said...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What is your first name?
unidentified		Ron.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Ron.
		All right.
		All right, Ron.
unidentified		I was going down the highway and I seen this car pulled over.
		And so I pulled over and there was this lady there and she had a flat tire.
		And so I got out of the car and I helped her fix the flat tire and everything and she was really happy that I helped her out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A real gentleman.
unidentified		And she wanted to give me some money.
		And I told her, no, it's okay, you know, and didn't refuse to take the money.
		And so she says, well, why don't you give me your address and I'll send you a Christmas card.
		So I said, okay, so I gave her my address and everything.
		About two weeks later, this great big old truck pulls up.
		These guys come out and they bring out this great big old 25-inch color TV.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're kidding.
unidentified		And on top of the TV, there was a card.
unidentified		Picked it up and it said, Mrs. Nat King Cole.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, really?
		It's the truth.
		And so you got a free TV, a color TV from Mrs. Nat King Cole.
unidentified		Right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		For fixing a flat tire?
unidentified		For fixing the flat tire.
unidentified		She wanted to give me $5 and we went through a big, you know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I understand.
		Ron, very cool story.
		Hold on.
		We'll find out what the audience thinks.
		Pretty cool story.
		Could it be true?
		Elvis used to give pink Cadillacs, didn't he?
		Could be.
		West of the Rockies, Ron's a color TV story.
		What do you think?
unidentified		I think it's the truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You think it's the truth?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You go for that one.
		All right, thank you.
		He says it is the truth.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Ron's story, truth or trash.
unidentified		This is Brian from Actually, Oklahoma.
unidentified		I say it is truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Truth?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You like that one, huh?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, was it the way he told the story or what?
unidentified		It was the way he told the story.
unidentified		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you see now, you see how the stories sell?
		It's the way people tell them.
		It's the tone of the voice.
		It's something like that.
		It's two in a row for truth.
		Ron's Not King Cole color TV story, what do you think?
unidentified		I'm going to say Merry Christmas, and I think it's true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You think it's true?
		Three in a row say it's absolutely true.
		Ron, they say it's the truth.
unidentified		It's the truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is the truth.
unidentified		It's the truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You really got a brand new color TV for fixing a flat tire?
unidentified		Yes, sir.
unidentified		Yes, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		Okay, thank you very much.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, Ron.
		Bye.
		Well, there you go.
		This is not King Cole.
		I guess if you have the money and you want to do good and somebody does good for you, something like that, you would do that.
		So, you know, it has a ring of truth to it.
		On my Truth or Trash line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What is your first name?
unidentified		Me.
		Well, that was quick.
		I'm Eric.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sorry?
unidentified		I'm Eric.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, Eric, where are you?
unidentified		I'm in Studio City, California.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Studio City.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, Eric, from the land of Tinsel.
unidentified		Well, it seems like we're kind of on the celebrity thing, but, well, I might as well stick with it.
		This is my story.
		All right.
		I'm an actor, made a living at it for a while, and it's been kind of dry here for the past couple of years, and I've had to do various odd jobs.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In other words, you weren't in ID4.
unidentified		No, I wasn't.
unidentified		Did you see it, by the way?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Not yet, Eric.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Not yet.
unidentified		Oh, okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you had a long, dry period.
		I know actors starting.
		So do artists.
unidentified		Anyway, so I've been doing various odd jobs.
unidentified		So I've been doing bartending with catering companies, and they called me up, and they said they needed me to work at Rod Stewart's house for his daughter's birthday.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		But not as a bartender, as a cotton candy boy.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A cotton candy boy?
unidentified		Yeah, which I wasn't into at all, but whatever.
		It's kind of a long story.
		I have to try to make it short here.
		Yes.
		Okay, so I get there, and I'm not into it at all.
		My wife and I are looking at getting a guest house somewhere in the hills there, and Rod lives in a gated community.
		So, you know, I was upset about not bringing these flyers that my wife and I had made that say, you know, we're a newly married couple.
		We want to live in a guest house.
		We're saving up to buy a house of our own, blah, blah, blah.
		So I'm there, and I'm not happy about being cotton candy boy.
		And Rachel Hunter, his wife, is telling me, you know, go out and get the umbrellas from the pool and bring them out to the lawn so we can have shade.
		So I say, okay, whatever.
		So I go out, and as I'm by the pool, I think, this is a good way to get home to get those flyers.
		So I go out and I'm pretending to struggle with this umbrella by the pool.
		Are you following me so far?
		So far.
		Okay, so I'm struggling with this umbrella, and I think, hey, you know, I'll fall into the pool.
		So I fall into the pool on purpose so I can, you know, go home and change my clothes and get these flyers to pass them out around this gated community so my wife and I can get a guest home.
		So as I fall into the pool, that's the first time I see Rod Stewart, and he comes down his spiky red hair, and he says, how can I say this?
		I can't really say it on the radio.
		He basically says, I bet you feel like a jerk, mate.
		I bet you feel like a jerk, mate.
		And I say, yeah, and he ends up giving me his clothes to wear for the rest of the party.
		And I wear his clothes and I serve cotton candy to all the little kids.
		But the story ends up good because I end up, I tell Rod and Rachel that I'm going to go home and change my clothes, and I'll bring his clothes back.
		And I brought the flyers back, and I handed them out around the community.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Did you get anything out of it?
unidentified		Actually, the story doesn't end up great because I got a call from the housing department saying that it was illegal to hand out flyers in the gated community.
unidentified		And please don't do this again.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you never ended up getting a guest house?
unidentified		We did not get a guest house.
unidentified		Not yet, but if there's anyone out there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you were trying to be sort of a house guest like our friend from the O.J. Simpson truck.
unidentified		You're right.
unidentified		Yeah, kind of like old Cato.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, all right, all right, all right.
		All right, so there you've got it.
		Let's see what you think of Eric's story.
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		I think it's trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you really?
unidentified		Yes, I do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, he does.
unidentified		I don't want to top it, but I think that's trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, all right, trash it is.
		You're going to have to call on the other line to tell the story.
		You know how that goes, not this line.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		It's too weird to be made up.
unidentified		It has to be true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Has to be true.
		All right, thank you.
		Wildcard line, Eric's story, truth or trash?
unidentified		I think it's trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash.
		All right, that's two for trash.
		Thank you.
		East of the Rockies, Eric's story, truth or trash.
		Hello there.
unidentified		Trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash.
		All right, that's it.
		Three in a row.
		Sorry, Eric.
		They trashed you, buddy.
unidentified		Art, my wife, she's come out.
unidentified		She wants to say something, but the story is true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Put your wife on.
unidentified		Wait, here's this.
unidentified		It's absolutely true because I washed all those chlorine-infested clothes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You did, huh?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you both swear it's true.
unidentified		I swear to God it's true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Thank you very much.
		You have trashed the panel, but good man, they didn't go for that at all.
		And yet it was absolutely true.
		Sometimes, you see, you really can't tell, can you?
		Now, with a true story like that, it wasn't told too well.
		You know, he stumbled over a little bit of it, and some of it sounded like it might have been made up or something.
		But there we had Eric's wife absolutely certifying that it was true.
		So I'm going to say rough one for you, panel.
		The panel now falls down to about 40%.
		They were doing better, but of late the panel has been not making it at all.
		All right, we are playing something called Truth or Trash just for fun.
		Weird, bizarre stories.
		If you have one, the only number in which to tell that story on which to tell it is area code 702-727-1222.
		Everybody run in and check your toothbrush.
		We'll be right back.
unidentified		This is Premier Networks.
		That was Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM.
		on this Somewhere in Time.

		Music Thank you.
		Premier Network presents Art Bell somewhere in time.
		Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from July 4th, 1996.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Top OV morning to you.
		It's good to be here.
		We're doing something called Truth or Trash just for fun.
unidentified		It's a holiday weekend.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And I felt like doing it.
		We may even get to a little fast blast later on.
		You never know.
		They seem to go together.
		But for now, it's Truth or Trash.
		The object is pool the panel.
		So far, people are doing a pretty good job.
		Panels average down around 40% for the night so far, I would guess.
		If you have a truth or trash story, the only line you can tell it on is Area Code 702-727-1222.
		All other lines are for judgment only.
		And here comes the next one.
		You're on air.
		What is your first name?
unidentified		Hi.
unidentified		My name's Angelize.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Angelize.
		All right.
		I don't know if I'd have picked that name.
		But Angelize fine.
		Is that what your girlfriend calls you or your wife or something?
unidentified		No, that's my CB handle, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I see.
		All right.
		Okay, go right ahead.
unidentified		Well, Art, I have a real interesting story for you this morning.
unidentified		I have a 50-gallon fish tank, you know, aquarium in my living room here.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		And it's all fresh water.
		I have, you know, goldfish and a couple of betas and some neon tetras.
		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I know about those, yes.
unidentified		And they're real pretty.
		And, well, I go fishing quite a bit here about five miles from my house.
		There's a lake out here.
		And we catch a lot of these, oh, it ranges, you know, some catfish and stuff.
		Sure.
		And for more realism, I decided to put a catfish that I had caught that was approximately, oh, eight inches or so.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Pretty big.
unidentified		Yeah.
		I decided to keep him just for the heck of it, for realism.
		I put him in the tank.
		Right.
		And thinking that they're algae eaters, you know, they just eat garbage off the bottom.
		I didn't think they were predators.
		And, well, I have a Japanese fighting fish that is a small one.
		We call him Gigi Gorgeous George because he thinks he's so good looking, you know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		He's a fish with ego, all right.
unidentified		Yeah, and well, we put him in, and about two hours later, guess what happened?
unidentified		The catfish we had just put in decided to suck down the fighting fish for dessert or dinner.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, no.
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Probably very expensive, too.
unidentified		Yeah, they are.
unidentified		They're about 20, 25 bucks a piece.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Figures, yeah.
unidentified		And he couldn't go after my neon Tetris for four bucks, right?
		He had to go after the good one.
		And, well, my wife and me were both sitting on the couch, and we had the light on in the aquarium, and we were watching this, much to my wife's horror.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I can imagine.
unidentified		And I says, oh, my God, well, that's the end of that, you know.
		Right, of course.
		And about 30 minutes later, the catfish suddenly had a real funny look, and he just floated.
		He went to the top after a few minutes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Belly up?
unidentified		He went belly, well, sideways, you know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Fish go sideways, yeah.
unidentified		And, oh, me and my wife were just looking at that, and I says, well, I guess he couldn't take the shock of being transferred.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		Well, his belly started to bulge a little bit, and it split wide open.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my goodness.
unidentified		And guess what come out?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're Japanese fighting fish.
unidentified		Yes, sir.
		He's alive, one piece.
		Oh, that's like alien.
		It's, you know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That must have been truly disgusting to watch.
unidentified		Yeah, it was.
		After the water, you know, we had to drain out most of the water for the flood.
		What did he do?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Eat his way out?
unidentified		I guess he did.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, that's disgusting, sir.
		All right, stand by.
		Let's find out what the panel thinks about this one.
		Now, talk about your fish stories.
		There's one.
		I don't know enough about a Japanese fighting fish to know whether this story could be true or not, but it sounds like a fish version of Alien.
		Anyway, here we go.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Angel Eyes story, truth or trash.
unidentified		Yes, Steven and Phoenix Arizona, I was wondering, didn't those gastric juices hurt the fish or anything?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's a good question.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What about it?
unidentified		Well, didn't it hurt the fish?
unidentified		I mean, it was the fish.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, yeah, we'll ask.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Angel Eyes, what about it?
unidentified		No, it didn't appear to hurt him at all.
		He had some scales missing off him, and he had some white patches, but that was about it.
		He's still alive.
		I say it's truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You say it's truth.
		All right, you like that.
		All right, thank you.
		There's one that says truth.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		What do you say?
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		Truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		Just the way he told it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Just the way he told it.
		All right, thank you.
		Amazing.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Hello, truth or trash?
unidentified		I say it's truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Truth!
unidentified		Really?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Three in a row.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Say truth.
unidentified		I've seen it happen.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, come on.
unidentified		Well, not with the catfish, but I've seen the betas fight with sharks.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But have you ever seen a fish eat its way out of another fish's belly?
unidentified		Well, no, but I've seen fish eat other fish.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, all right.
		Well, it must have been the way he told the story then.
		Well, okay, Angel Eyes.
		They say it is the truth.
unidentified		It is absolutely the truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is.
unidentified		We used to call him Gigi gorgeous George.
		Now we call him Lucky, for darn lucky.
		And we, after, now I didn't tell you everything.
		Afterwards, my son happens to die, you know, he dissects things, you know.
		Yeah.
		And he took it and dissected, you know, he opened up the belly with a little hobby knife.
		Yeah.
		And most of its internal organs were gone.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, man.
unidentified		The fish had literally eaten his way out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The little fish ate the big fish.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, man, that is an incredible story.
unidentified		Yeah, and this little fish was no bigger than four inches.
unidentified		He was about three to four inches.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		He must have been a little bigger eating all of that.
unidentified		He was small, but I'll tell you, he had some guts to him.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that must be why they call him guts to him.
		Yeah, thank you.
		That must be why they call him a fighting fish.
		All right.
		We'll get back to another heartwarming story here in a moment.
		The V-Tech.
		I can't.
unidentified		which picture that would work You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
unidentified		Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from July 4th, 1996.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Music Back to our truth or trash line.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What is your first name, please?
unidentified		My name is Rich.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Rich, you're going to have to speak up good and loud, Rich.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where are you located?
unidentified		I'm at LAX.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Airport?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Rich, go ahead.
unidentified		Well, Art, you live in Perromp.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I do.
unidentified		Well, I took off in a sailplane out of Perromp one time.
unidentified		And I headed north and I was trying to go for a distance.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's one of those things where a prop plane, a little prop plane, takes you up and then releases you.
unidentified		Exactly.
unidentified		In fact, it was a guy named Christensen who had a crop duster up there near Cap Haven there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I know of the person and I know of the place.
		So, yes, go ahead.
		So he took you up.
unidentified		Yeah, he gave me a tow and I released there over Hidden Hills Ranch, and I flew north, and my destination was Ash Meadows.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Ash Meadows.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, I don't know where that is.
unidentified		Well, that is a house of ill repute that has a little runway over there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they have me here.
unidentified		It's about 50 miles north of my takeoff.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you're going to try to glide 50 miles?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		And sure enough, I made it over to this area, and I located this dirt strip and lined up the glider.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
unidentified		Pretty much landed right down the center of the runway.
		It was a good thing because when the glider came to a stop, I had noticed there were berms on both sides of the runway from having it been plowed or scraped.
		And if I would have been to the left or right just a few inches, literally probably a foot and a half either side of the wing, I probably would have hit the wing and probably done some damage.
		But what I had to do now was get a hold of my official observers.
		And here I am several hundred yards from this compound.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What do you mean official observers?
unidentified		Well, to get this record, I have to have people seal a barregraph, which is a pressure recording instrument, to prove that it was a continuous flight and I wasn't towed.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right, I've got you.
unidentified		Bunch of stuff like that.
		So here I am.
		It's kind of windy, so I take off my parachute, put it on the right wing tip to hold it down.
		And I look up and these trees and this building is off yonder.
		And I look over there and I said, boy, I'm just going to have to walk over there and see if I can get somebody on the phone.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
unidentified		And they were going to come and tow me out of there.
		So I take off walking, just, you know, a pair of Levi's and a T-shirt and tennis shoes.
		And I get about halfway there and I look up and I see something that I don't like at all.
		It's probably the biggest Doburn and pincher I'd ever seen.
		And I don't have a weapon.
		And sure enough, it notices me.
		And I didn't want to freak out.
		So I kept walking slowly, steadily.
		And pretty soon the dog starts coming at me.
		It starts running towards me.
		And I didn't know quite what to do about all this.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Very bad.
unidentified		I kept walking, and with a stride, I reached down and I picked up kind of a medium-sized stick in my right hand.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So far it all rings true.
unidentified		This dog is starting to run faster towards me, and my heart is beating, and I'm clutching this stick.
		And this dog arrived at me.
		I didn't quite know what I was going to do with the stick, because I'd never been attacked by a dog, and never beat one up before either.
		And so the dog ends up coming straight to me, screeching halt right in front of me, rolls over, and wants to be petted.
		I ended up petting the dog on the belly, throwing the stick, playing fetch with him.
		Me and this dog, best friends now, I walk the rest of the half of the distance into this compound and it's abandoned.
		This place has been closed down.
		And I go building to building and finally I look in and here's the caretaker in his underwear, drinking a beer, watching TV.
		I rap on the door.
		He is scared.
		He could have probably had a heart attack because he didn't hear any cars.
		He didn't hear any airplanes.
		His dog is the world's best guard dog.
		And here I am knocking on his door with his dog at my side.
		That's my story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Good story, but I'm not going to put that to a panel.
		I don't know why.
		It's just interesting story, but maybe not weird enough.
		However, I will validate one part of it.
		That person he mentioned does lie.
		That person he mentioned is here.
		And so I would say that story probably is true.
		On our truth or a trash line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wait a minute.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		How's it going?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's going all right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you have a story?
unidentified		No, I just call it say hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, goodbye then.
		We're doing truth or a trash on that line.
		That's area code 702-727-1222.
		And on the truth or trash line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
		Hello.
		How are you doing?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm doing okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you have a story?
unidentified		I do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Is it a good one?
unidentified		It's a great one.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let's hear it.
unidentified		Okay, my name is Gary.
unidentified		I live in Troy, Missouri.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		Used to work for a major airline, and I was stationed in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		Working there one day, and we got a call in from an airplane that was flying overhead en route from Philadelphia to Phoenix.
		The captain calls, and he told us that he had requested emergency clearance to land in Albuquerque.
		Please be ready on the ramp when he arrived.
		He reported that he was hearing a noise, a knocking noise, from down below the cargo hold of the aircraft.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Bad.
unidentified		So, of course, the tower did their thing, gave him clearance.
		We called our dispatch back in Philadelphia.
		He landed the plane.
		He landed the plane, raced to the gate, stopped at the gate.
		The police were alerted.
		They didn't know whether this could possibly be someone in the belly of the plane or what to do.
		They stood there with their guns drawn.
		We went out, opened the aircraft.
		This is where it gets a little bit weird.
		Opened the cargo hold of the aircraft.
		Of course, all the passengers are on the plane.
		All their luggage is loaded in the plane below them.
		We opened the bins and looked in there.
		All the bags were all stacked nice like they had been stacked in Philadelphia to be unloaded in Phoenix.
		In between all the bags was what we referred to as an HR, a human remains.
		Required to get up in the aircraft, look around, couldn't find anything, anything that would make any noise, any knocking noise.
		Talked to the captain.
		He said he had gone back from the cockpit.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wait, wait, wait, wait.
		A human remains.
		You mean like a coffin?
unidentified		Correct.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, yeah.
unidentified		Correct.
		I've got you.
		A casket, you know, a sealed casket.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, I've got you.
unidentified		The captain wanted to open the casket.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		A little eerie.
unidentified		Federal law doesn't allow you to do that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I understand.
unidentified		So it's sealed where it's put on the aircraft and unsealed by whoever picks it up.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Nevertheless, short of any other reason for this knocking noise.
unidentified		We researched it, could never identify what it was.
		The aircraft came in a little bit hard.
		He required to sit there until the brakes cooled down, went ahead, taxied out, took off, and flew on to Phoenix.
		Never did know what the noise was.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Interesting story, but again, I'm not submitting it to the panel because it is so subjective.
		How could we know?
		You don't want to think, of course, that some poor soul's in a casket.
		I mean, they should have opened the casket.
		What I don't understand is why didn't they open the casket?
		I mean, what if?
		Can you imagine that?
		On my truth or trash line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		All right, this is the Raven, Dawn, from KPNW Eugene, Oregon.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
unidentified		The story that I have to tell you, I'm still shook up about because, well, the conclusion came about four hours ago tonight.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, real quick.
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		Six weeks ago, we had friends, neighbors that moved.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And so in our complex, the wife went out to the dumpster and had found an ivory plant.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A what?
unidentified		Ivy.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Ivy plant.
unidentified		Beautiful, beautiful.
		She brought it in and said, look what I found.
		So I'm not into plants, but I decided, hey, why not take care of it, nurse it, the whole thing.
		So I kept it around on top of the hutch.
		It's beautiful.
		It grows, the whole thing.
		Well, about six, seven days ago, I had come out, and we have two cats, and one is named Smudge.
		Smudge had gotten tangled up in the ivory plant, and we thought maybe he had a heart attack or died or was frustrated or whatever, and he was all wrapped up into the plant.
		We took him to the vet, and he said that either he choked on it, something happened, and the cat died.
		We were really upset about it, the whole thing.
		Tonight, to celebrate the 4th of July, we went out to dinner.
		When we went into the restaurant, we had to wait because the lines were so long and everything.
		We had friends.
		They were there.
		The ones who had moved were there.
		We sit down, have the dinner with them.
		And we got talking, and they said, well, how's everything going?
		How's the neighborhood and all that?
		And we said, fine.
		And they said, how's your cat and all that?
		And the wife shook up and said, well, Mike died.
		And, oh, well, what happened?
		How did it happen?
		And we said, well, it's the strangest thing.
		It got tied up in this ivory plant and the best said it choked and it was eating on it.
		They both turned white as ghost.
		She got up.
		The woman got up, went to the bathroom.
		The husband sat there and said, you won't believe what happened.
		That plant was ours.
		We threw it away.
		And I said, well, we got it.
		The wife confiscated it.
		He said, no, you don't understand.
		Four days before we remove, we have a ferret, and they let it run around the house and all of that.
		And they couldn't find that at all.
		Boxes were stacked.
		They went over to where the plant was, and the ferret was dead.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my God.
unidentified		They didn't take the ferret to the vet or anything, but they said it looked like it had ate on it and choked on it.
		I'm so shook up.
		We didn't even go see fireworks.
		I'm sitting here looking at this plant.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Raven, I would, man, I'll tell you, I'd trash that plant.
		Raven, that's a hell of a story.
		Hold on, we're going to put that one to the panel.
		Raven's animal-killing ivy plant.
		Truth or trash?
		Hell of a story.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.

unidentified		I'm going to say truth.

unidentified		I believe it's trash because I still shook up, I wouldn't have even called.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		Welcome to the Rockies.
		Truth or Trash?
		You think it's the truth?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, there it is.
		Three people say it's truth.
		Three out of four is all you need.
		Raven, they say it's the truth.
		Is it really the truth?
unidentified		Well, Art, I've been listening to you for years, and you're going to be hearing me call you again because I'm so shook up about lying.
		It is the trash.
		And I replied, couldn't do anything.
		I still got somebody set in here, and he's looking at me saying, what are you doing that for?
		your creature's in a petrol.
		Sad story.
		Listen up, folks, out there.
		I mean, good, great.
		Well, you see from Oregon, what do you expect, you know?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, listen, Raven, that's how you do it to him.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you did it to him.
