19960705_Coast_to_Coast_AM_with_Art_Bell_-Open-Lines-Arts_UFO_Parts

Art Bell and caller Joseph Farrell—a former Air Force scientist with degrees in computer science, aerospace engineering, and physics—debate Roswell crash materials, including a 1956 "Silver Chaff" incident that killed livestock and plants, and a B-24 Liberator photo allegedly showing debris and alien bodies. Farrell reveals DIA visits after sharing his work on exotic bismuth-magnesium alloys, possibly anti-gravitic, tied to vanished GE patents from the 1970s. Bell’s frustration over secrecy and Farrell’s safety concerns clash with skepticism about unverified claims, yet both push for disclosure amid broader conspiracy fatigue. The episode underscores how fringe theories—from Roswell to drug policy—thrive in media oversaturation while deeper truths remain buried under bureaucracy or indifference.

Welcome to Art Bell somewhere in time.
Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from July 5th, 1996.
art bell
From the high desert in the great American Southwest, I bid you all good evening, good morning, as the case may be, across all these many time zones, from the Hawaiian Tahitian Island chains, where the girls dance in dress skirts all the way across flyover country to the Caribbean and the U.S. Virgin Islands where they don't wear much more, down into South America, where who knows, north to the pole where they dress warmly, and worldwide on the internet.
This is Coast to Coast AM.
Good morning, everybody.
I'm Art Bell.
And I've got some interesting news for you.
All of this, as usual, came down about 30 minutes prior to airtime.
I never, I'll tell you, I have a lot of help in opening my mail.
My wife and I opened my mail, and my wife, the majority of it.
And we've got another letter from the man who sent the Roswell materials and more.
Never fails, just before airtime.
For those of you that are not caught up on this story, let me rehash just a little bit.
Several months ago now, I received what was purported to be Roswell crash materials.
Very odd stuff.
Then about, well, I would guess a month later, I received a second shipment purporting to be from the skin of the crashed craft.
There have been extensive tests performed on these materials.
You're going to get another report on them Sunday on Dreamland.
And there are some very exotic tests planned that I cannot talk about.
These materials include what appears to be 100% pure aluminum in very strange configurations, 9999 aluminum in very strange parts.
Those photographs are on the internet.
It includes what is purported to be from the skin of the spacecraft, which is made up of a very strange set of elements, three elements only, magnesium, zinc, and bismuth, which is thought to be anti-gravitic in nature.
So we've got something very serious on our hands.
All of the nation's best rare metals people, industrial people, the people at our nation's national security locations, none of them are able to explain what we have.
Now, I really can't go into any more detail than that right now, except to say there is a complete scientific report on the internet, on my webpage, with electron scanning, microscope photographs, and graphs of spectrophylum and all the rest of it.
Now, that brings us to this evening.
I have received another letter, and I'm not going to be able to give you all of it, but I'll read what I can, okay?
Dear Mr. Bell, against my better judgment and my wife's advice, I once again am sending this information your way in the hope that it will assist you in your efforts.
Thank you for stating in your broadcast that I reside in blank.
It has been most helpful.
Actually, I reside in blank, but am able to visit the South Carolina region on military hops out of blank Air Force Base.
That's why these, I'm putting in the blanks.
That is why these letters have been so sporadic and have a South Carolina postmark.
It is a means to protect myself.
I know that you and Ms. Howe understand.
I did send a letter her way with additional information, but since she has not discussed it or have you, perhaps the information in that correspondence is still being examined.
Okay, regarding the precise location of the crash site from Grandad's journal, and here's where I really can't read, I won't read.
He describes in degrees, minutes, and seconds the precise location.
He describes it, let's put it this way, as within a 30-mile radius of Roswell.
Okay, regarding, the reason I'm not going to give you the precise location is we're going to want to look at it, and I don't want a bunch of people getting there before we do.
Secondly, regarding the second set of samples dispatched, meaning that from the outside of the craft, sample extraction radiated light for a full three hours, originally located on the central underside of the wedge-shaped disc.
Speculate some type of shielding, question mark, to enable craft and crew to survive accelerated entry into the atmosphere when the craft was experiencing uncontrolled descent.
Pile of blackened ash was analyzed, and the ash was confirmed of the same elements of layering.
Ash consisted of fibrous dust and residue.
Ash and all debris swept into bagging.
Bags then placed in tagged boxes.
Boxes placed into metal foot lockers.
Initial examination off-site conducted at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology.
Secondary examinations at Los Alamos facilities.
Foot lockers subsequently airlifted by courier to Wrightfield, Ohio.
I sincerely hope this has been helpful.
I have considered calling your broadcast or sending the journal itself, but frankly, I am afraid.
unidentified
Why?
art bell
Well, in all my years of involvement with this subject, I have only confided in one other person outside my family.
He and their plane, a C-130, crashed and burned within hours of my conversation about Roswell.
This happened in the late 70s.
Since that day, to the day I first contacted you, Mr. Bell, I have been silent completely on these matters.
You see, Mr. Bell, my friend was carrying a Roswell sample.
I have reasons to be fearful.
C-130s don't normally get hit by lightning and explode.
I'm not trying to be melodramatic or paranoid on these matters.
I've been as factual and truthful as I can be.
Experience has taught me that virtue is the better part of valor, and silence can speak volumes.
Frankly, sir, it is not easy hiding in plain sight, as I've had to when it comes to this subject.
I'd better go.
I hope this letter helps, signed a friend.
And he included something very interesting with the letter.
It is a photograph, and I need your help with this.
It is a very ancient photograph.
I can tell you that it is very, very old.
It is kind of yellowed.
And I'll tell you what it says on the back of the photograph.
It says, a B-24 carrying the Roswell debris to Wright Field.
Large contingent is security detachment.
Two bodies of aliens on board B-24 along with foot lockers.
Now, as I said, this is very difficult to see.
It's an old, old photograph.
And I have scanned a number of photographs of my father in the Marine Corps and my mom that had the exact same yellowish, very old tint to it.
It's obviously genuine.
Now, I am not an airplane person.
That is, I am not a person who easily identifies aircraft.
But what can be seen in this photograph at a distance is an aircraft that could be a B-24.
unidentified
I don't know.
art bell
I would say, and it's very difficult to see from here, but it looks very much like 40 or 50 or 100 troops near this B-24 in a line.
I cannot tell you any more than that.
I can only tell you, about 30 minutes ahead of airtime, I scanned this photograph and sent it to Keith Rowland.
He probably has got it up on the website by now.
So any of you who are familiar with aircraft, what I did is I pulled some of the yellow aspect of the picture out, which turned it back into more or less a black and white when I scanned it.
That's all I did.
I just pulled the color intensity down to zero and brought it back to black and white.
Otherwise, it is a pretty good representation of the photograph I have got in this letter.
So anybody who would like to go up to the website and take a look, I would very much appreciate it.
The website that contains all of the information on the parts received, the testing done, and now this new photograph can be located by going to www.artbell.com.
That's my website address.
www.artbell no space a-r-t-b-e-l-l dot com of course the obligatory http HTTP: then www.artbell.com.
Or with a browser, you can just put in Art Bell, and it is the first web page listed.
So there you are.
That is the latest.
I'm withholding a couple of things.
The man's real location and the specific exact area of the crash site.
Other than that, that is the content of the letter, and you now have the photograph up there, and I would appreciate anybody who knows anything about aircraft going up there and seeing if there is anything you can recognize that would help us out.
Economy's Best Shape? 00:08:30
art bell
A more detailed report is coming this Sunday.
It is Friday night, Saturday morning, or if you're hearing this Sunday night, Monday morning, so be it.
The President of the United States, the one and only Bill Clinton, said today, the economy is in the best shape this generation.
Arguably, he is correct.
Unemployment is at a six-year low.
There have just been 239,000 new jobs created, many of them construction jobs at high pay.
The average pay for Americans lagging for years is now significantly on the rise.
Housing markets are good.
So the president arguably is correct.
The economy is in good shape, and the forecast is it will be in better shape.
The market didn't like that one bit.
It points toward the possibility of inflation, interest rate heights, almost a damn sure thing now from the Fed.
And so the Dow Jones went down almost 115 points on the day.
So it is typical of the market to react this way, and I bet it's going to be a bad Monday.
This is, though, on balance, bad news for Bob Dole, because people vote their pocketbooks.
That is the one truth, absolute truth about elections.
I doubt that people care much about the president's dalliances, whether they occurred or not.
Whitewater's gone nowhere.
I've gone through this whole litany before.
The FBI files mess seems to be going nowhere, should be, but isn't, probably because of all the battering the president's been getting.
So on balance, my judgment continues to be this president is going to be re-elected, and he'll be re-elected because Bob Dole is not going to be a good contestant, but most of all, because the economy appears as though it's going to be in very good condition.
That re-elects presidents.
So there you are.
Crime.
Get this.
Crime for juveniles, young people, is up 68% in the last five years.
Latest on NBC and LA gang video, what a piece of work this is.
It shows gang members indulging in arson, bomb-making and exploding, and attempted murder.
By the way, this is in a better part of L.A.
And I don't know.
It's a horrible time we live in.
People document their bad deeds for later enjoyment or something.
I've got several unrelated things now.
Art, after hearing you read the new letter on the demon seeds, it began to hit me they may be for real.
My first reaction was to urge you to burn them, but that'd be wrong.
Clearly, you can't risk planting them, but I think you should send at least half of them to Linda Howe so she can arrange analysis.
I'm sure they can be germinated in a secure lab under controlled conditions and possibly DNA analyzed.
Have you heard, by the way, the Saudis say they have evidence the Army barracks bombing was arranged and financed not by Iran, but by Syria.
If that proves true, it'll be quite a shock.
We've been coddling Assad for an awful long time.
We've been warned by many other countries, he's no better than Saddam.
I guess we never learn.
Later, Rick in Reno.
All right, seems like a good topic.
So listen to this.
Dear Art, been listening to your show for about a half year.
Enjoy it.
Don't know what your topic is for the evening.
Neither do I.
But here is something that I've been considering sharing with you.
A couple of months ago, you had a gentleman call in claiming to have shot and killed a Bigfoot, actually, two of them.
I know this is getting to be a well-worn topic, but I, too, had a close encounter with Sasquatch many years ago.
Being a professional person and well thought of in my field, I've been reluctant to share my tale with any but a few close friends.
It's a long story, but I'll be brief.
First, let me say I was born and raised here in the Rogue Valley of southern Oregon.
I've been an avid outdoorsman, backpacker, in my entire life.
22 years ago, while packing deep in the Marble Mountains wilderness area, Northern California, southern Oregon border area, myself and two companions were terrorized for an entire evening by the beast.
We spent that night in a large Madronic tree, that's M-A-D-R-O-N Madrone tree, I guess.
That's an E, I'm sorry, tree.
And the next day, while packing back down the trail, the animal flanked us for about three miles.
I'd like to go into details, but space here does not permit.
Suffice it to say, we saw the animal close up several times.
Art, they really do exist.
One of the people that went through this with me recently moved back to the area.
We plan to repeat our journey this fall, this time a little better prepared.
If you'd like to know more of my experience, possibly I could mail you the whole story.
It is quite interesting.
Signed, Keith.
I've got a phone number here, too.
So there you are.
All right, I've got more, but I don't have more time to get it all out right now, so let me take care of a couple of things, and then I'll get the rest of this out to you.
And then we will have a night of open line.
You name it, anything you want to talk about, talk radio.
Stay right there.
unidentified
This is Premier Networks.
That was Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM on this Somewhere in Time.
Welcome to Art Bell,
Somewhere in Time.
Tonight, featuring Coast to Coast AM from July 5th, 1996.
art bell
I'm telling you, I've got to be the collection point for all the world's weirdness because you should see what I've got.
I've got an article from a 1957 edition of Fate.
That's F-A-T-E Fate magazine.
It's entitled Silver Chaff from the Sky.
The fall of metallic shreds was mysterious enough.
Then, even more mysteriously, the chickens died.
Monday night, August 27th, 1956, was cool, the sky slightly overcast in Chemung County, is it?
Reese's Mysterious Discovery 00:03:02
art bell
C-H-E-M-U-N-G County in the southern part of New York State.
Above the overcast, the moon rose late, full and blood-red.
It was still rising when Mr. and Mrs. Charles Reese of Sagetown, which is eight miles south of Elmira, went to bed after feeding the two watchdogs on their chicken ranch.
Shortly after midnight, a light rain began to fall.
A little later, after 2 a.m. Tuesday morning, Mrs. Reese was awakened by the dogs who were barking angrily in the yard.
She rolled over, went back to sleep.
Her husband, sound sleeper, slept through until morning.
At about 6:30 a.m., Mr. Reese left the farmhouse to attend to his chores.
Rounding one of several chicken coops on a two-acre ranch, he discovered thousands of bright, shiny, metallic shreds scattered all over the ground.
He said later that an offensive odor assailed his nostrils at the same time.
The shreds were silver-colored on one side and lavender-tinted on the other.
Each segment was about one-half to one inch in length and about one-two-thousandths of an inch thick.
They resembled brightly colored Christmas tree icicles.
Also scattered about the area were several pieces of a substance resembling cardboard, evidently the remains of a container or containers in which the metallic shreds had been packed.
Mr. Reese discovered on the roof of a nearby chicken coop had been dented by an object, apparently, that had fallen from the sky.
Undecided about the identity of the substance, Mr. Reese notified the town of Southport patrolman Robert A. Loomis, the police officer, collected some samples of the substance and contacted the county airport manager who investigated and had made an immediate air search of the vicinity.
A light liaison plane of the Connecticut National Guard had been reported missing on a routine flight on Monday between Albany and Camp Drum, New York.
Though this is far north of Elmira, the airport officials considered the plane might have wandered into the area, blah, blah, blah.
Let me go on.
At any rate, the chickens, his chickens, began to die.
And there's a lot more to the article.
Now, as usual, they have sent me these metal shards.
I have the metal shards.
I also have some of the roots of the plants that died.
Yes, that's right.
Plants died as well.
So now I've got these metal shards.
Take A Look Closely 00:10:44
art bell
And I've also got the phone number of the guy who sent me this stuff.
Let's see, roots and stem, which were gathered along with the tinsel.
Blah, blah, blah.
So, I don't know.
I've got the demon tinsel here.
I don't know what this stuff is, but I've got the article on the original story.
And I've got some of the tinsel.
Apparently, I have been the designated collection point for anything weird, dangerous, or unexplainable.
And I don't know what I'm going to do with the tinsel.
And I don't have unlimited funds with which to go testing this stuff in labs.
It's a very expensive process.
And without going into detail with regard to the Roswell fragments, we're beginning to go into some rather expensive testing.
And that's really all I can say about that.
So there you are.
I've got more, but I'll hold it.
Let's go to the phones.
East of the Rockies, you're on air.
unidentified
Hi.
I am interested in that photograph you got from Roswell there.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
There's a couple of things about that.
You could probably take a look at it in your own house there.
art bell
I've got, by the way, what I've got, so everybody knows, is actually the original photograph.
I was not sent a computer photograph.
I've got the original one.
unidentified
Okay.
There's a couple of things to find out if it's original.
There's things that they can do to deceive it.
I'm not saying that it's fake or anything, but there's a couple of things you could do right now to take a look at it and see.
Basically, I'm not sure if you're familiar with developing pictures or not.
Not really.
Basically, the last step in developing is putting it into the fixer solution.
Yes.
And if you dip it in there for two minutes, it should be a pretty good photograph.
If you dip it in there for like two seconds, it'll come out yellowed and almost looking like it's been a little bit more.
art bell
Well, now, wait a minute.
I don't know about that because when I wrote my book, you know, the art of talk book I wrote, I got a lot of old photographs from my mom and my dad when they were in the Marine Corps.
And they frankly looked exactly like this photograph in terms of the yellowed oldness, almost identical.
unidentified
Putting it in the fixer solution for about two seconds will do almost the same thing.
Does the photograph look like there's any like the gloss on it?
Does it look like it's kind of tattered?
art bell
Yeah, wrinkled would be the word.
unidentified
That's a sign there.
It's not a definite sign.
Also, on the back, what's the material on the back of the photograph?
Does it feel glossy or does it feel...
art bell
No, it's not glossy.
unidentified
Is it like fibers?
art bell
It's like paper.
unidentified
White.
art bell
It's white on the back.
unidentified
And you know.
Is there anything like Kodak?
art bell
Yeah, you know, it's almost erased, but there's some kind of date here.
I can't quite read it.
Maybe with a magnifying glass.
unidentified
If you could get a magnifying glass, and you said there's handwriting on the back.
art bell
Oh, yes.
unidentified
Basically, by looking at it, it's a little bit more.
art bell
Yeah, I think, you know, obviously a photographic expert could date this.
I'm not that.
unidentified
If you could take a look at the ink, though, itself, you could do it yourself with a magnifying glass.
Take a look at, if it was a ballpoint pen, it would be kind of a long, smooth streak.
If it was like one of the old quill-type pens, you'll see it kind of jagged, dotted, almost patterned.
art bell
Well, what I'm going to hold out for, obviously, is some people who would go take a look at it on the webpage.
And before the night is over, you can be darn sure we're going to get some reports.
unidentified
Yeah, I'm going to be kind of interested because basically, you've got two things from this guy now.
One of them, you know, your parts obviously are extremely difficult to determine what they are.
This photograph could be the truth or trash of it all.
I agree.
art bell
I agree, and I'm willing to submit this photograph for testing.
Believe me.
unidentified
I would be kind of interested to see it.
art bell
So would I. Although, let me tell you, sir, the parts are not as difficult to prove as you might imagine.
We've come a long way.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
So thank you very much for the call.
I appreciate it.
And listen through the night.
I'm sure you're going to hear more.
unidentified
Okay.
All right.
art bell
Thank you very much.
Take care.
You know what I think I'm going to do?
unidentified
How can I do that?
Let me think.
art bell
I'm tempted.
This guy's way back in New York, so it's almost 3 o'clock in the morning.
But you know, I'm tempted on this tinsel he just sent me.
I'm tempted to call the guy.
So, John, back there in New York, get ready.
If you're listening, I think I'm going to call you.
unidentified
God.
art bell
I want to know what this stuff is.
If it killed chickens, then it's potentially dangerous, and I'm not sure that I want to have it around.
So, let me see.
Let me get some work done here, and maybe I'll pick up the phone and try to call him.
probably wake him up and he'd be angry i'm unable to reach on it I got his answering machine, so I guess we're going to have to follow up on this later.
And until then, I'll keep this tinsel in a safe place.
Killer tinsel that fell from the sky.
My first reaction was that it was chaff, but I don't think this is chaff.
It gave off an odor, it killed chickens, it killed trees, and now I've got it sitting in the other room.
Probably killing my cats or something.
Something has happened.
I've become a collection point for this weirdness, and I don't know what to do about it.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Arthas Rape in Kansas City.
art bell
Hi, Ry.
I'm fine.
unidentified
I've just been wondering.
Well, I better call you later, Art.
art bell
You better call me later?
unidentified
Well.
art bell
Turn your radio off.
That is number one.
unidentified
Okay?
art bell
Reach over and try to turn that sucker off.
unidentified
Okay?
I called you a few months ago about the international conspiracy to form a global government.
Yeah.
You know, I've been listening a lot to Shortwave, and I've heard that some terrible things could possibly happen at the Olympics.
art bell
Well, there were two shake-ups at the Olympics today.
Matter of fact.
One Olympic security guard was hit by a stray bullet, and somebody else crashed through one of the barriers, so it's not an auspicious beginning.
unidentified
Also, I'd like to mention or bring up Norio Hayakawa.
Yes.
What conclusions did you come to about what he told you and all of us out here?
art bell
All right.
Well, now listen on the air.
Look, I don't come to conclusions about things guests say.
Maybe that has occurred to you by now after listening to the show for I don't know how long.
I listen to and allow guests to unwind their story.
It does not mean that I buy into it.
Frequently, the audience, because I allow my guests to tell their story, assume this means I acquiesce.
I agree.
It is not necessarily the case.
I am not one of these people running around in deep fear of a one-world government.
That's just the way it is.
I'm not.
And so I don't necessarily, didn't necessarily at all agree with all Norio had to say.
I nevertheless gave him a forum in which to say it.
And that is the way I do business here on the air, in case you haven't figured that out yet.
I don't bring a guest in here and put a third-degree light on him and batter him with everything he says.
I just don't do it.
It's not my style with a guest.
I have all of you for that.
When I have a guest in here, I let him say what he wants to say.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hello?
art bell
Turn your radio off.
unidentified
Okay.
Is this our bell?
Yes.
Oh, hi.
I am Don.
I'm calling from California.
And I just wanted to say how much I really enjoy your show.
art bell
Oh, that's sweet.
Where in California are you?
unidentified
I'm in Santa Maria.
It's just about 20 miles.
art bell
Oh, I know where it is.
That's KSMA.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
art bell
Yes, indeed.
All right.
Well, how old are you?
unidentified
I'm 26.
26?
art bell
You sound like you're about 12.
unidentified
Oh, thank you.
I love you.
art bell
Do a lot of people tell you that?
unidentified
Oh, yeah, I get that quite a lot, actually.
art bell
I mean, like, you answer the phone, and they say, is your mom home?
unidentified
Is my mom home?
Is my dad to my dad come to the phone?
Yeah.
art bell
Well, I'm glad you enjoy the show.
It is never the same on any night.
unidentified
No, it isn't, and I love every minute of it.
My husband was the one who originally worked for late nights, and he came home, and he told me one day, got to listen to this show.
It's great, and I've been hooked ever since.
art bell
Well, thank him, and I thank you.
unidentified
Oh, thank you.
art bell
Take care.
unidentified
Bye-bye.
art bell
Bye-bye.
That's very nice.
Yes, you may have noticed I don't follow any particular format.
We just do whatever we do on any given night.
That's the way I like it.
And so this program is never, ever predictable.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Good morning.
unidentified
All right.
When did this Sean Tinsel incident happen?
Today.
art bell
Oh, you mean when did it originally occur?
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
In 1956.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
art bell
I've got the entire article right here that was in Fate magazine.
unidentified
I thought this happened a couple days ago or something.
art bell
No, the recent aspect to it is it just got to me.
unidentified
Oh.
art bell
So wonderful.
unidentified
Yeah, that explains it because something like that would have made the papers.
art bell
Yeah, Silver Chaff.
unidentified
I'm not too far from there.
art bell
Silver Chaff from Sky.
Oh, where are you?
unidentified
Utica, New York.
art bell
Utica.
Well, I'm not real happy about having it.
Trying to Figure It Out 00:15:55
art bell
That's why I tried to call that guy just now.
As a matter of fact, maybe I'll try later in the show at, say, 3 o'clock or something, my time.
That'd be 6 o'clock your time, so we'll see.
unidentified
Okay, thanks, sir.
art bell
Thank you, sir.
Take care.
Silver chaff falls from sky, kills chickens, kills plants.
And he sends it to me.
Yikes, first time caller line, you're on the air.
unidentified
Well, hello.
art bell
Hi.
unidentified
Well, this is wonderful.
I've enjoyed you for about a year.
My name is Dan, and I live in Grass Valley, California.
art bell
All right, Dan.
unidentified
And I have a little offer for your audience here.
I would like, I'm one of the people out here that has been working with Pyramid Power and Mobius Figure 8 and those sorts of matters.
And I would like to hear from the various people.
art bell
What's a Mobius Fight?
unidentified
A Mobius Figure 8.
Think of a Figure 8 when you twist it, like if you take a rubber band and you twist it so that the axis does not touch.
Yes.
Okay, well, a Mobius Figure 8 can be thought of in that fashion.
That way the energy can travel through it without short-circuiting itself.
What energy?
art bell
What energy?
unidentified
Okay, Mobius figure eights are used in the conventional sense.
They're cooled and used for lasers.
But people that have been using what is often called the aura have been using Mobius figure eights for thousands of years.
They're known by various names, but that's basically what they are.
art bell
I'll be darned.
unidentified
Yeah, and so I invite your audience to, I'd like to mention one other thing here.
Those of you who are interested in pin-based computer systems, here's an interesting little fact for you.
If sighted people would have learned or could or choose to learn a form of ink dot-based Braille, the cost of the hardware and the software of those units would go dramatically down.
Do you follow me, Art?
Yes.
Because the Braille does not have an identity.
It does not have the variables in it, which script or print does.
So I'm going to.
art bell
You're jumping around a lot on me here.
unidentified
We started out with pyramids and the project that I'm working on actually uses a form of Braille in it.
And I'm hoping I'm getting ready to build model number two, and I'm hoping to tie this in to some high-tech accoutrements.
And the bridge between the pyramid energy and the other involves Braille codes, which are placed within the tubes of the pyramids.
Whoa.
Yeah.
art bell
So you're kind of out there a little bit.
A lot of people aren't going to be tracking with you here.
unidentified
Well, the reason why I gave you that extreme example was that I do know that there are people out there that are working with pyramids and various other configurations.
So I decided, since I enjoy your show so much, to offer something that I knew would be really way out there.
And I just want you to know that I really look forward to hearing you, and I hope that I'll be listening for a long, long time.
art bell
All right, sir.
Thank you very much for the call.
That sounds a little like you might be sending me something.
Uh-oh.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello.
Hey, Art.
Yes.
South Dakota.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Have you seen Independence Day yet?
art bell
Not yet.
unidentified
Oh, I saw it tonight.
It was just absolutely the most awesome movie I think I've ever seen.
I know.
They had about 500 special effects in it in the whole movie.
And they even made some reference to Roswell.
art bell
I heard that.
I've also heard, and I'm asking people to listen.
I got a fact from a man and his wife who both say in one of the war room scenes.
Now, I don't know what that means.
In one of the war room scenes, they heard my name mentioned in background chatter.
unidentified
Really?
art bell
Yeah, and so I'm asking that people would go to see ID4, listen for that, so we can see if it is true.
unidentified
Well, I'm going back to see it Sunday, and I'll make a special talk.
art bell
You're coming back.
You must really have liked it.
unidentified
Oh, it was really good.
Hey, if I don't get to talk to you again, have a great vacation.
art bell
Well, that's not going to be until August.
unidentified
Oh, I thought you were going here in July.
art bell
No, I'm leaving August 2nd.
unidentified
And you're going to Russia?
art bell
I'm going to Russia.
I'm going to Scandinavia.
I'm going to Germany and Britain and all over.
unidentified
Oh, that's really nice.
Are you going to cruise over, or are you going to fly over?
art bell
Well, no, no, we're going to cruise.
We're going to fly over and then cruise about.
unidentified
Oh, great.
art bell
It's kind of both.
Thank you very much.
Yes, it would be a very long cruise indeed to take on the Atlantic.
No, thank you.
We'll do the cruise when we get there, and I'm looking forward to it.
It's getting closer now.
I'm getting kind of excited.
unidentified
The trip back in time continues with Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AF.
More Somewhere in Time coming up.
Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Tonight, featuring Coast to Toast AM from July 5th, 1996.
art bell
It just gets stranger and stranger.
For those joining at this hour, I can't repeat all I have.
I will in the next hour.
But what I will tell you now is there is new information on the Roswell parts, significant new information.
We've got a photograph which purports to be a B-24 loading.
Let me see if I can find it here.
I've got so much stuff.
Which purports to be a B-24 loading to take the parts to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
And I've also got some others.
Let me read you what it says.
It says B-24 carrying Roswell debris to Wright Field, large contingent, means of military troops, is security detachment, bodies of aliens on board B-24 along with foot lockers.
This is from the man who sent me all these parts.
Now, I've received these two faxes already.
I've got that photograph.
It's an old, old photograph, folks.
So it's not in the best of condition.
And I've got the original photograph here.
I scanned it in, took the color intensity down to bring back the black and white aspect of the photograph.
That's the only thing I changed about it.
Added a little contrast because it's very faded.
But that is now on my website, along with a whole bunch of other stuff.
You've got to make it up to if you know anything about aircraft, I want to know first of all if it is a B-24.
Here's what I received so far: Art Roswell photo.
Just looked at the picture, and there would appear to be about 60 fully geared paratroopers waiting to board, although that plane would not hold 60.
The blob in the upper left-hand corner, weird by the way, may be another B-24 coming in to pick up the rest of the troops, but why paratroopers?
And then this from the desk of Bob, and I won't read the last name.
Hi, Art.
Love the show.
I viewed the photograph of the airplane on the webpage.
It sure is a B-24 bomber.
I'm also faxing you a picture of a B-24 so you can compare it for yourself.
Keep up the good work, Rob.
So apparently, I've got to hear from more of you.
It is a B-24, I guess.
I'm not an airplane expert, but I do have the original photograph, and by God, we can date it.
Here's where it gets even weirder.
Behind the scenes, over the last month, I would say, we have had a scientist working with us whose name I'm not going to give unless he wishes to give it.
But he sent me a fax just now, which says, Dear Art, I'm sure that I should not be faxing you at this time.
However, I just heard your letter concerning arts parts.
I was visited today by the DIA, that would be the Defense Intelligence Agency.
If you will contact me either tonight or tomorrow, I'm willing to provide information I was hesitant to speak of and did not give to Linda last weekend.
This can be confirmed by calling Linda and asking about our conversation.
The information I provide will fill in many gaps and go far beyond the hints I have provided thus far.
It is fundamentally important that this information be gotten out before some unforeseen event occurs to me.
I have not contacted Linda because I feel her conversations are being monitored.
There is more than one person scared at this time.
I'm concerned for my wife and children as well.
Personal regards signed by the person you're about to hear.
So I've called him, and here he is.
Welcome to the program.
unidentified
Hello.
art bell
Hi.
I'm going to leave it up to you.
What do you want to be called?
unidentified
Why don't you call me Dan?
art bell
Dan.
unidentified
Yep.
art bell
Okay, Dan.
Dan, why don't you give the people as much of a background as you can with regard to who you are or what your background is and how you came to be interested in these Roswell materials that I possess?
unidentified
Well, probably the easiest way is just to summarize it in a couple of sentences.
I have master's degrees in computer science, aerospace engineering, and physics, and a Ph.D. in physics.
I worked for the Air Force from 1973 through 1980, and I've been following all of your information since it appeared a month and a half, two months ago concerning Arts Parts.
Initially, I wasn't real interested in the materials because aluminum, extract aluminum can certainly be made, forged, and punched out.
But I quit sleeping at night, well, when I heard about the bismuth parts that you had talked about.
Right.
And certainly became more concerned when I saw the first scans, the first EM scans that came down that you showed about two weeks ago.
art bell
The ones that are up on the website.
unidentified
The ones that are on the website at this time.
And finally, after thinking about it long and heavy, I faxed you last weekend.
And since that point, we've been in contact virtually daily.
Right.
art bell
And you have been in contact significantly with Linda Howell.
unidentified
Yes, I have.
I've been in long conversations with Linda.
art bell
By the way, Linda will give a report this coming Sunday, but they've done a polished cross-section of the bismuth magnesium zinc.
And I can't give you the exact figures, but the magnesium is 97%, 98%, something like that.
The zinc varies from about 6 to 7%.
And the bismuth is pure.
And with all the people we've talked to, Dan, nobody, nobody has the slightest idea what this is, how to make it, or what it would be used for.
But you have some hints in that direction, don't you?
unidentified
I have actually quite a few.
I was involved over a seven-year period as basically a research physicist with the Air Force.
And I worked out of two locations primarily, one being Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the other one being Edwards Air Force Base.
And as a part of my responsibilities, I was given quite often, or I was asked to perform quite often reverse engineering tasks.
art bell
Reverse engineering.
unidentified
Reverse engineering.
art bell
Now, what that means is you've got something and you don't know what it is or where it came from, and you, in effect, try to figure it out in reverse.
Instead of inventing, you're sort of trying to figure out how it was invented.
unidentified
Yeah, a good example would be back in the 70s, a MiG was flown into the China area, I believe.
Not China, but I guess into Hong Kong or one of those areas.
It was flown across the border.
And we gave, we, the military, gave the aircraft back within seven days.
But over that seven-day period, I virtually worked 24 hours a day because all of a sudden things started showing up in my lab asking me to try to determine what they were and verify them.
Now, in most cases, it was tube-type electronics, and they were very easy to figure out and determine their purpose.
But that's an example of the type of reverse engineering is to figure out what they did, bandwidth performance if it was jamming equipment and things of that nature.
art bell
Sure, sure.
So that was the conventional kind of work you did.
Did you back-engineer anything, shall we say, more exotic?
unidentified
There was quite a few times when all of a sudden I got a call at 2 o'clock or so in the morning stating that there were people waiting for me at my front door.
At that point, I lived in Ohio, Springfield, a little town in Springfield.
And in 15 minutes, they'd pick me up.
Well, 10 to 15 minutes later, there'd be a knock on the door, and it would typically be either an E8 or an E9 waiting for me to go on a trip with them.
And one trip I can remember in particular, an E9 came.
He first asked for my identification.
And I thought that was relatively strange to go through all the details that he went through to verify I was who I was.
I got in the car with him, a sedan, and was driven to Wright Field.
On the way, he asked me if I would leave him with my watch, which I was very hesitant to give him.
It was an HB01, which was one of the original calculator watches.
art bell
Oh, yes, I recall.
unidentified
And I was concerned, you know, this is a $750 watch.
You want me to give it to you?
Yeah.
To which his comment was, don't be concerned about it.
It won't be damaged.
If it is, it'll be replaced.
Climbing On The Aircraft 00:06:17
unidentified
So I gave him my watch.
Climbed on the aircraft, and we departed right path.
About four hours later, we landed.
I knew that we flew west, but that was about it.
There was virtually no contact between the cockpit and myself.
You know, I found that a little frustrating because in my background, I have about 10,000 hours airtime, and I am typed in an N265, which is basically savers, or T-39s.
But anyway, that was kind of the nature of the beast.
Anyway, we arrived right at sun up.
The sun was just coming up, and it was obvious that I wasn't at Edwards.
I couldn't tell where I was, and to this day, I'm not sure where it was.
There were a few hangers around.
But anyway, I went into labs and spent about two weeks at a lab facility that on my TDY orders was identified as Edwards.
Okay.
Now, I don't know whether I had flown into China Lake or where it was, but it certainly was not Edwards Air Force Base.
Gotcha.
art bell
Can you tell us what you did?
unidentified
Well, I was provided some materials and asked to identify the materials and what they were.
And I was given some samples that were about five centimeters on a side and about oh, I'll convert this to inches to make it easier.
About three-quarters of an inch thick.
There was a spherical radius, which means it was curved on all sides on the bottom.
So it you know, where it came from, I had no idea, but I was asked if I could identify the material and explain what it was to the people.
There was a lot of individuals that came in and out of the lab, and with the security arrangements that you go through, it was real, real simple.
If you were in a lab and someone came in, they had a right to be there.
art bell
I guess all of my work was virtually top secret at the time.
unidentified
And so that was one of those basically things that you knew.
If someone entered the lab, they had a right to be there.
And I had visits from not only the Air Force, but from the Navy and a lot of other agencies, some black suitors of who I don't know who they were.
art bell
So this is the kind of work you were doing, and I presume to this day you can't really divulge the specific details.
unidentified
No, I can't.
About 99% of what I do, I can't provide or discuss.
I understand.
And I guess the reason I'm talking to you is I was so upset and nervous when I heard about the arts parts.
I just basically didn't want to do anything with it at all.
art bell
In other words, when you began to hear about the reports coming in on the skin of the craft, obviously something resonated in you with regard to what it was.
unidentified
Oh, absolutely.
art bell
What is that?
Yeah, what is that that resonated inside?
What do you think we've got, Dan?
unidentified
Well, I think you have portions of what I describe as a lifting body or portions of the skin of a lifting body.
I was exposed to material that was virtually identical to what you're discussing and have been discussing.
It turns out that the material was layered about 30 layers of alternating pure bismuth interlaced with primarily magnesium with about 3 to 4 microns of the bismuth with about 20 to 25 microns of the magnesium compound and then that was interlaced all the way up through the body of the material through the entire mass of the material.
All right.
art bell
Linda Howe interviewed you to play back this last Sunday.
We didn't play it back on purpose, so it didn't air this last Sunday.
She's got that interview with you, though, and may play it for all I know this Sunday.
I don't know, Dan.
But what I do know is you've been in private conversations with her, as I have been with her, and by facts, with you.
Now, all of a sudden, something's happened.
You had guys show up today?
unidentified
Yeah, I had three people show up today and spend about two hours with me.
art bell
Defense Intelligence Agency?
unidentified
Precisely.
They're concerned about communications, and if I had been in contact with Linda Howe or anybody else concerning arts parts.
Yeah.
And I basically stated that, yes, I had been in contact with Linda Howe.
art bell
This is exactly what I was afraid of.
unidentified
All right.
art bell
Can you relate?
In other words, you admitted to them you've been talking to Linda Howe.
unidentified
Oh, sure.
There's no reason to lie because I'm sure they were sitting there with a recorder of all three hours of conversation.
art bell
I'm sure they were.
And did they have any advice for you?
In other words, they obviously know your background.
And they're afraid, obviously, of the connection between the information you possess and the information you could convey about these parts.
unidentified
That's what I assume to be the case.
art bell
So where does that leave you standing?
Did they threaten you?
unidentified
No, I don't think the organization I've been in I've been in contact with the organization before.
I took quite a number of trips over the years after I left the Air Force into Europe, and it was always a three to five hour settings session every time I came back wanting to know exactly who I talked to, where I went, and what I did.
And finally, that quit about 10 or 11 years ago.
And so I felt that maybe it had finally gone away.
But it's one of those things that I don't think it ever goes away.
Lifting Body Basics 00:06:12
art bell
When you say lifting body, can you give us any more than that lifting body, lifting body?
unidentified
Well, basically, I'll try to use simpler terms.
A lifting body could be considered an airfoil or something that could be used in the atmosphere to create lift, such as in an aircraft, a powered aircraft.
The reason I referred to the material from a lifting body is some of the tests that I was able to conduct over a two-week period with the material itself.
Bismuth is a very, as I call it, phenomenal product that hasn't been discussed virtually at all in the aerospace industry or in a good portion of the publications.
art bell
Well, there's a very interesting aspect to this, Dan.
There was a lot of discussion about bismuth in the early 70s, and there were a number of scientific papers published leading in the directions of discussion with regard to its anti-gravitic nature and so forth and so on.
And then all of a sudden, all papers and all information on bismuth simply disappeared and stopped being published, and there hasn't been anything since.
And everybody we're talking to is incredibly tight-lipped about it.
unidentified
Yeah, and that's interesting.
There was an individual that published a series of three patents back in, I believe, 1971 through 1973 by the name of Wallace.
And Wallace worked for General Electric, and he produced a series of patents that basically proved in a small-scale type setup.
He had the information provided on his patents is basically what I would consider test equipment the way he had designed it and tested it.
But he was pretty much able to prove that there's some very interesting properties that go with bismuth.
And this is all in the public information.
There's certainly nothing classified about it.
Anybody can pick these patents up and look at them.
art bell
All right, Dan, we don't have much time before the bottom of the hour, but I want to ask you this.
Dan, I'm perfectly willing to let you give your name on the air, your full name, if you want to.
The best you say in this facts you're concerned for your safety and your wife and children, and I don't blame you.
The reason I've gone public with this the way I have, and the reason Linda has, is for exactly that purpose.
In other words, once you're public, if you're not giving away government secrets, which you are not, then you are safe.
When you're not public, you're not so safe.
Things can happen.
And that's why I called you to give you the opportunity to go public.
So you be as public, Dan, as you want to be.
unidentified
Okay, well, I think it might be better for me to just go at least today with my first name.
All right.
Because I'm doing some hard and careful considerations.
I put together about a 20-page letter that fully describes everything that I was involved in in this area back in the 70s.
That will be mailed out to you if it hasn't already been mailed so that you have a copy of it by the end of the weekend.
art bell
Okay, my advice to you would be to get that letter off quickly, and I will hope that it makes it here.
At times, I've not had a lot of luck with the U.S. Mail, so you might pick some sort of carrier, you know, some sort of private carrier.
That's just a bit of advice.
Dan, hold on, we're at the bottom of the hour.
We'll come right back to you, all right?
All right.
My guest is somebody we'll call Dan and not give the rest of his name right now.
He is a scientist, a physicist, and he knows a lot more than he's told so far about what we call arts parts.
We'll be back to Dan in a moment.
Remember, the new photograph of whatever that airplane is is up on my webpage now.
That's www.artbell.com.
Please go take a look.
unidentified
This is Premier Networks.
Back with Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM on this Somewhere in Time.
We take
you back to the past on ART BELL, Somewhere In Time.
art bell
Obviously, a very nervous Dan, we will call him Dan, a physicist who worked with the Air Force and back-engineered some pretty black project stuff, knows about Arts Parks.
Today, the DIA Defense Intelligence Agency knocked on his door.
He's been helping us.
So we'll get back to Dan in just a moment.
Now to Dan at an undisclosed location.
Dan, are you there?
unidentified
Yes, I am.
Magnetic Mysteries 00:06:32
art bell
Dan, I'm just a talk show host.
You know, I have an interest in these matters, but I'm not a scientist.
And all of this has fallen in on me like a house of bricks.
I mean, it really just has been kind of a heavy load over the last few months.
And it's driving me crazy, frankly.
People keep sending me things.
I've got a recent shipment of some strange materials that killed foul.
I'm telling you, it's driving me nuts.
Look, none of us, well, I won't say none of us, but most of us listening are not scientists as you are.
So, can you give us a layman's version of what you think about this bismuth material?
How does it do what you theorize or think it does?
unidentified
Excuse me.
Bismuth is it shows some very interesting characteristics, specifically in the area of magnetic permeability, the ability to absorb magnetic waves.
You know, there's basically two ways that you can think of things moving, as either a wave or a particle, and that would get us into quantum mechanics and into relativity, which we don't want to get into.
But bismuth is somewhat like hydrogen in that it's what's considered diamagnetic, or it tends to expel or push away a magnetic field or reduce a magnetic field that comes around it.
And you're right, it's probably very, very confusing to people.
But the bottom line is if with something that has an interesting magnetic permeability, is if you control if you connect it to an electric charge, there has a tendency to actually repel the magnet somewhat like a magnet pointing towards a compass, where the compass will always point to north.
Sure.
Diamagnetic material will basically not do that.
And it won't work like a piece of iron in the way iron works with a compass.
It has a completely different effect.
You could almost consider in some tests that have been run, primarily back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, that the magnetic characteristics of bismuth repel magnetic fields.
It tends to push them away.
art bell
What could you imagine the purpose of layering it with magnesium?
unidentified
Well, magnesium is a much lighter material.
Bismuth is a very, very heavy material.
It's only two protons less than lead in weight, basically.
But it's also very elastic, which means it will stretch to 400 or 500% its size.
Now, this gets down to an interesting point.
If we assume that we have a body, let's call it an airplane wing, that has a layer that's a half inch thick of bismuth intermixed with magnesium, and it's interlaced where you have two parts of bismuth to 20 parts of magnesium.
Well, if it was being used, let's say it was on a jet and it was flying in a war zone, maybe like back in the Vietnam era, and a bullet was shot at it and the bullet actually penetrated the surface, what would happen is the bismuth would extend to about 500% its size, so it would go from like 2 microns to about 10 microns before it would break.
But with a 20-micron separation, it wouldn't allow one layer to enter with an adjoining layer.
And by setting up 30 or 40 layers of this stuff, all of a sudden you can have what would look like from an electrical standpoint a continuous piece of bismuth.
Now, because of its mass, you need to intermix it with something that's a little bit lighter than itself.
Well, if we would assume that there was a very, very large charge placed on the bismuth, and I'm talking in the neighborhood of 1 to 2 million volts, positive charge, one could theorize that you could create a situation where the magnetic fields would become very, very small or actually become negative.
art bell
In other words, you could actually repel gravity.
unidentified
Theoretically, it might be possible.
Now, Einstein says that can't be done.
And all the work he did, he released the last major release from Einstein was actually in 1929 when he released his unified field theory, which was basically pulled back quite early after he had released it because he saw some major holes in that.
And there were probably two holes that I can think of.
One of it was in that time period, there was very little known about electron spin, or actually how the electrons spin in their orbits.
And that would have had to have been considered in his unified field theory, and I'm sure it wasn't.
So to correct his unified field theory for that, it would not be a simple job to rewrite the work itself.
In fact, it would be a very arduous task to rewrite the electric field theory.
But another portion of it is one of the things that's always remained constant since Newton's time is that gravity is a fixed value.
Gravity has a certain fundamental basis that's supposedly not changeable.
And so all of his work also considered the fact that gravity is a constant.
Well, if it was found that gravity was in fact not necessarily constant, so that you could make it scalable or a scalar type value, then that opens up the whole world to do some calculations and to rewrite virtually all the work that's taken place since the 20s forward, or actually since Newton's time forward.
art bell
So when you saw this material, or the cross-sections of it, the electronic scanning microscope cross-sections, it was a jolt to you.
Sounded Accurate: Sandia Conventions 00:15:27
unidentified
Well, it became much more apparent as the time that I started working with it and started theorizing what it could be.
I kept trying to find out more and more information of what it was.
I've been asked if I've ever seen a UFO, and I can say in terms of ever seeing an unidentified flying object that I haven't.
But that kind of leaves the door open if the right questions are asked of whether it is or whether it isn't.
Yes.
All right.
art bell
Look, did the DIA mention me?
unidentified
No.
They mentioned they were just interested if I had any conversations with a scientific journalist on these later.
art bell
I've never seen how, yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
I figured.
Well, you know, she's been everywhere.
She's been to all the rare metals people, the best of them in the country.
She's been to Sandia, I believe, Los Alamos.
She's been all the very best people, and either they won't talk or they say they just plain don't know.
I mean, all the people who might manufacture something like this or might have either haven't or say they can't.
One of the two.
So we're really stuck with this.
Where do you think we go from here?
unidentified
Well, I've given Linda quite a number of contacts back into Sandia and back into Los Alamos, getting around some of the people that she's talked to, because she's talked primarily to the heads of the departments.
Right.
And I'll be really frank.
Los Alamos, it's my opinion that Los Alamos and Sandia both are playing games with her.
art bell
Yeah, that may be.
unidentified
I re-reviewed all of your tapes that she had done over the last few days.
You have them all on your webpage.
art bell
I do, yes.
unidentified
And it became very apparent during about three of those conversations that they don't know or they're not saying.
It turns out that, for example, if you go into Los Alamos and start doing database searches, that they have about 20 papers discussing bismuth.
And you can be quite certain that there's at least that many, if not more, that are classified top secret or above.
art bell
Well, they wanted our samples, Dan, and there's no way in hell.
There's no way in hell we're going to send them back there.
I just know we would never see them again.
unidentified
No, you wouldn't.
As a matter of fact, they'd probably give their eye teeth right now to get the samples that you have.
art bell
Well, they've been asking.
So I don't know where to go with this.
I want to protect you.
I don't want anything to happen to you, Dan.
And you sounded, particularly in the first half hour, pretty scared.
Is that accurate?
unidentified
That was very accurate.
Well, I think I have a right to be somewhat nervous.
art bell
Yeah, I do too.
So you think about it, Dan.
If and when you decide you want to be completely public, which I honestly consider to be your best protection, I told you that off the air.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
You think about it, and when you want to go completely public, let's do it.
unidentified
Okay, I think the advice that you had given me was to go public, and I think the time is probably virtually imminent that I need to do that.
art bell
Yeah, so do I.
unidentified
I want to make sure that some information that I've sent out is in other people's hands.
And once it is, then my concerns drop off considerably.
art bell
Well, what I did with the materials that I got is they are geographically scattered around the country in the hands of science people and so forth and so on in such a diversified manner that it would be now too late for them to get control of this.
unidentified
Well, that's good.
art bell
Where do you think, just speculatively, Dan, that this is going to lead?
unidentified
The search?
Yeah.
I think we can perhaps find some hardcore answers that people have been asking for the last 50 years.
It's going to certainly take more than me because one person can be so easily discounted and trashed.
It doesn't take much to get rid of one individual.
But I think if some other people can come forward, then we might be able to get full disclosure on what's going on.
art bell
Dan, I appreciate your time.
I appreciate your testimony and be safe.
unidentified
I will be.
art bell
Take care, my friend.
unidentified
Okay, thank you very much.
Right.
art bell
That's Dan at an undisclosed location.
So now maybe all of you get a sense of what I'm in the middle of here that I'm not all that happy about being in the middle of.
A lot of people would say, wow, how exciting getting these parts.
unidentified
Yeah?
art bell
For a little while, it was pretty exciting.
But you have no idea, no idea what this has led to.
Now, I've received a number of other faxes.
The latest we'll review at 1 o'clock.
Here is a typical fax.
Art, I have examined your photograph of the alleged B-24.
After performing some enhancement using my photo magic software, I would agree the plane is definitely a World War II vintage B-24 liberator.
I am familiar with the plane from having built models of it and many other aircraft from that era.
Listening to you on KHOW Denver from Robert.
So the mystery continues and deepens.
Back to open lines now.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Hey, Art.
This is Gordon in Columbia Mo.
art bell
Hi, Gordon.
unidentified
How are you doing tonight?
art bell
Well, you've been listening.
unidentified
Yeah, I have.
This is kind of shocking in a lot of ways, I guess.
I mean, you know how that is.
In fact, I've had a completely shocking day.
art bell
Oh, you have?
unidentified
Oh, well, I live here, you know, in Columbia, and it's pretty peaceful, I guess.
It's not Mayberry or anything like that.
But the guy next door to me got murdered this morning.
art bell
Oh, my God.
unidentified
And apparently I slipped right through it, the gunshots and everything.
art bell
How did it occur?
I mean, somebody just walk in and shoot him?
unidentified
Yeah, apparently a couple guys came to the door, and I guess he answered, and they blasted him.
It was Probably a thing with drugs or something like that.
I don't know.
You know, they I tell you what, I'm kind of a late-night owl.
I sit and listen to your show and blah, blah, blah.
And after your show will go off here in Columbia or in a news break, I'll go to the kitchen to get a drink of water and these folks are outside partying, you know, at like 4 a.m.
Yeah.
So, you know, they end up getting shot, or at least one of them did, and the other one got shot twice, like grazed, while he was running away.
art bell
Well, one good thing about it.
unidentified
You know, what's that?
art bell
They got the right house.
unidentified
Well, you know, that's interesting.
That's what my roommate and I discussed.
It was kind of we thought.
Well, and then, oh, yeah, and I was going to tell you one thing about this whole Filegate muck, you know, that whole mess.
Sure.
You know, the thing is, if somebody was to break into your house and then they get caught, I don't think the police are going to care one way or the other if they were there to read you a bedtime story or there to kill you.
I think the point is they broke in, and you really give a lot of slack to these people that, you know, I mean, it's cool that they dig Bill Clinton, I guess, but, you know, you've got to just learn when to, by the way, it's not the Republicans that put the name gate behind everything.
art bell
It's a media.
I mean, that's right.
unidentified
Well, anyway, you kind of give a little bit too much slack there.
I mean, wrong is wrong.
Wrong is wrong.
He got the files.
It doesn't matter what he did with them.
art bell
No, I don't give any slack at all.
My only comment has been that there has been such a battering over things that have really, for good or bad, gone nowhere that the public is damn near numb about it all.
And so Filegate came along and they went, it's just one more thing.
unidentified
Yeah, I get you right there.
art bell
I think it's horrible.
Absolutely horrible.
But I'm beginning to realize now why the public is not engaged.
They've just been it's like to me the Kennedy assassination.
There are so many theories, so many conspiracy theories, that if somebody were to go to a podium and announce the real truth tomorrow, when it was all said and done, it would just be one more theory.
unidentified
Yeah, well, okay, well, here's one last thing then.
I mean, why isn't something like this recognized where we've got these human rights violations all over China?
I mean, everybody knows about that in the tank there at Tiananmen Square.
Yes, yes.
And, you know, still, they have favored nation status, favored nation status, and people want it taken away because there are human rights violations.
And Clinton and the administration, and really, I guess, Congress, everybody's to blame in the government that, you know, is in that part of that foreign affairs type thing.
I guess that would be the administration, wouldn't it?
Well, anyway, they don't stand up and say anything until some CDs are copied illegally.
And then all of a sudden, we're going to take away their status.
Like, money is the only thing, really.
I mean, that's a clear definition.
Money is the only thing that made us take a look at China.
art bell
You're absolutely correct.
unidentified
Hey, you have a good night.
Thanks for having a good show.
art bell
Thank you, and take care.
Sure.
Money motivates.
Who's kidding who?
Money is what makes the world go round, baby.
And nobody denies that.
And one of our biggest export items are motion pictures, music, CDs, videos.
You name it.
We export it.
That kind of intellectual product.
And when they begin to dip into that to the tune of billions of dollars, you bet we react.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi, Art.
nonpartisan tim in san diego
This is nonpartisan Tim in San Diego.
art bell
Hello there.
Get good and close to your phone there, Mr. Nonpartisan Tim.
nonpartisan tim in san diego
I'm into it.
art bell
That's good.
nonpartisan tim in san diego
This guy you've had on for the last hour?
unidentified
Yep.
nonpartisan tim in san diego
I vote trash.
art bell
Well, on what basis?
nonpartisan tim in san diego
Well, you never verify these guys' credentials or anything.
art bell
No, that's not true.
That's not true.
I have verified his credentials.
I simply have not aired them by his request.
nonpartisan tim in san diego
This isn't like the guy who was talking about suspect number three in the Oklahoma City bombing last night?
unidentified
No.
art bell
This man has been in communication now for some time with Linda Howe and myself, and I chose not to air anything about him until I got this business on his visit from the DIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, today.
At that point, I phoned him and I said, look, you're better off going public.
You'd be safer.
So I asked him to go public.
He did not ask to come on the air.
unidentified
Oh, yeah, yeah, I understand that.
art bell
And with regard to his credentials, we are well aware of them and have been for some time.
nonpartisan tim in san diego
Okay, so I can trust in your judgment that this guy is legitimate.
art bell
As best as I've been able to determine, yes.
unidentified
Okay.
nonpartisan tim in san diego
You know, I was watching on C-SPAN today the convention for the Libertarian Party.
art bell
Ron, or not Ron Brown, Harry Brown.
Harry Brown is the nominee, and we'll have him back on the air soon.
nonpartisan tim in san diego
Yeah, you know, if these people that are always calling up and bitching about the government, if half of them would just take the time to listen to what these people, the libertarians, have to say, I know.
I think we'd see some change right now.
art bell
Well, I would say that is correct.
And I heard Harry earlier saying, look, the big two parties could not have done us a bigger favor this year.
We've got two inside career politicians.
It's our best chance yet.
I saw that interview on CNN, and he is correct.
The only thing I would say is, darn it all, if the Libertarians would only modify a little bit of their ideology, a lot of Americans, particularly conservatives, would embrace it that otherwise are hesitant to.
nonpartisan tim in san diego
Yeah, you know, I've heard that, and I'm not real knowledgeable on all their platforms, but I didn't see anything during that televised convention that sounded so out there.
You know, and not none of it.
It sounded exactly like what everybody that calls your show and says they wish would happen.
That's what they're saying.
art bell
I quite agree.
I quite agree.
The only sticking points for me are, for example, in the area of drugs, but we have talked about that many times.
At any rate, I'm in touch with the Harry Brown people.
They called me prior to the convention.
I said, let's see if he gets nominated.
If he does, call us back.
We'll have him on the air, and so it shall be.
unidentified
The trip back in time continues with Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM.
More Somewhere in Time coming up.
Somewhere in Time with Art Bell continues, courtesy of Premier Networks.
art bell
And as promised, she barely made it in for the room cloned, I think.
Ramona is up on AOL.
My wife is on AOL in the chat room, known as the Grassy Knoll.
Interesting name, huh?
What you do is go on AOL, hit keyword up at the top, and just type in the name Art Bell.
With or without a space, it will take you to the right area.
Then you check on Grassy Knoll, and boom, you're in the chat room.
So she's up there right now, hopefully answering not embarrassing questions.
Now, callers trying to label you from Gary in San Diego.
I believe we are much alike in our views.
When I am asked where I stand on the political spectrum, I respond, a conservative libertarian.
This is not to be confused with a Republican Party platform, or the tinge of chaos and lack of values that may follow a libertarian government.
After all, there are moderate Republicans, conservative Democrats, Reagan Democrats, etc.
Fry this on for size and see if it fits.
I don't know if any label fits me, as you can well tell by now.
Art, if you ever decide to retire from radio, I can see you and Ramona in bib overalls and straw hats running Art Bell's Emporium of Weirdness on Highway 395, the Celestial Highway.
Ramona Bell's Surprise Revelations 00:11:40
art bell
Actually, it's the what do they call that 395?
It's the extraterrestrial highway, isn't it?
Think of it.
Art's parts, the demon seeds, and now the chicken-killing chaff from New York.
All on display for the edification and amazement of the masses of Art Bell fans.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
The Museum of Weird, maybe with a two-headed snake thrown in.
Dear Mr. Bell, will you kindly reread the part of the letter regarding the radiation of light from the bismuth sample?
It's very important.
Well, actually, it was from the bismuth magnesium-zinc sample, and it simply said that that, after the crash, glowed for three hours.
And that wasn't from Dan.
That was from our anonymous friend who sent the samples.
Dear Art, the most simple explanation for the chicken-killing foil stuff you just described is chaff.
Yes, we know.
Military aircraft have dumped jillions of tons of it in exercises and war since World War II.
Even get shot out of cannons.
I'm surprised an old ham like you didn't recognize it.
Well, it doesn't look like chaff, sir.
Chaff is simply tin foil.
Yes, I know.
But it shouldn't kill chickens.
Maybe if they pecked at it and choked, more likely the farmer was just trying to get his pound of flesh out of the government after getting a bunch of chaff dumped on him.
But who knows?
Yes, you're right.
It doesn't look like chaff.
I've seen chaff, sir.
And this does not look like chaff.
And then this, Art, regarding Art's parts, if the parts are what we believe them to be, as advertised, that is, with the enormous risk the government took on to cover up an event of such significance with all the people and possible security leaks involved, they surely would have a game plan for what is happening now.
Interesting times.
Best will.
Interesting times indeed, Will.
And the plan, for all I know, I'm part of the plan.
I'm not surprised that Dan got a visit from the security people.
I'm not surprised at all.
Because he is the link, or at least I could see how he could be a link to closing the gap between the information we have and what we think it is, so it makes sense.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air, hi.
unidentified
Yeah, good morning, Lloyd.
art bell
Good morning.
unidentified
By the way, congratulations on a good webpage.
Do you do that yourself?
art bell
No, not at all.
That's Keith Boland's doings.
I contribute, of course, a lot of the material that goes up there, but Keith puts it all together.
unidentified
Well, tell me that.
art bell
Well, I do that all the time.
unidentified
Yes, it is.
Now, the fellow you had on earlier, he said that Einstein worked out the unified kill theory.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
My impression was that that remained unresolved at the time of his death.
art bell
Well, I'm not sure myself.
I think he thought he had it, and then as Dan said, I think he backed away from it to some degree.
So I'm not very clear on that myself.
I'm not a scientist.
unidentified
Well, maybe somebody out there knows and could call in and resolve this question because that didn't sound right.
art bell
Sure.
Where are you?
unidentified
Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
art bell
Tuscaloosa.
All right, we'll see what the audience says.
unidentified
Now, another thing that you said you disagree with the Libertarian Party in regards to the drug war, and I'd like to disagree with you.
art bell
That's fine.
Look, if it were up to me, I'll give it to you straight.
I decriminalize marijuana, and I would take several very hard steps to try to eradicate the harder drugs, which I consider to be very dangerous.
unidentified
Well, I agree with you.
They are very dangerous.
However, outlawing them in no way can eradicate them.
What it can do is raise the price, which brings in the criminal element as well as corruption.
art bell
Yes, I know.
unidentified
I know, but it creates a great deal of crime.
art bell
I know, sir, but if you're going to go for what you're talking about, we covered this yesterday, then you've got to go all the way.
It's either all or nothing.
unidentified
I agree.
I would say it's all.
art bell
It's all.
I wouldn't, because I would say the result of all would be two or three times the number of addicts, or even more, than we have now.
unidentified
Actually, history does not bear that out.
art bell
Yes, it does, sir.
unidentified
With alcohol.
art bell
Oh, yeah, it does, sir.
And if you look at what occurred in China and other nations that have legalized it, Needle Park in Switzerland, whatever you want to look at, in areas where it's suddenly been free, open, and unbothered, the addicts have begun to add up to the point where in China they had to begin to behead people.
unidentified
Well, actually, I've done some research on this.
In regards with Needle Park and anything of that nature, I think what you're talking about is a more highly visible problem rather than a more prevalent problem.
art bell
Well, what about China?
unidentified
Well, what about it?
China never legalized anything.
art bell
Oh, opium, sir.
unidentified
They were forced by the British.
That was a case of something being aggressively marketed, not a free market.
Or any forest market.
All right.
Thank you.
art bell
But I think it's ludicrous to imagine that if opium and crack and heroin and PCP and all the rest of them were openly allowed, even if not condoned by the government, openly allowed to be sold, transferred, whatever, you would end up with a lot of addicts.
I don't think there's any magic.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist for that one.
And so my position is that marijuana should be decriminalized and that the other drugs then should be separated from marijuana and the hemp product.
And we should go after them like crazy.
Go after them where they're grown.
Go after them as they come into the country.
Go after them at the street level in every way we can.
Then you would have a legitimate, in my opinion, a legitimate war to wage.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Yes.
I would like to know what the how he's generating the profits for the experiments that he's doing.
art bell
Who are you referring to, sir?
unidentified
Art Bell.
Me?
Yeah.
art bell
I'm not generating any profits.
unidentified
How are you paying for it?
art bell
What testing has been done and will be done comes out of my pocket and that of Linda Howe.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
Oh, wow.
That's right, yeah.
Have you asked for any contributions that people might have you thought about that?
No.
art bell
No, I'm just going to do it.
Do what has to be done.
unidentified
Well, I was going to ask you, um, is there any way that I could possibly send you some money?
No.
art bell
Please don't.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Okay, I appreciate the offer.
I really do.
Thank you, but no.
unidentified
All right.
Well, just keep up the good work and be careful.
art bell
Yeah, take care, my friend.
No.
we'll just do what has to be done.
I'm not all that happy about it, but you go along a trail and you get volunteers, scientists who volunteer to do a lot of very serious work, and it's been done for free, electronic scanning and all the rest of it.
But for more involved tests, which I don't want to discuss right now, there's a charge.
And so you do what you have to do.
we'll be back in a moment so as usual my wife is on a all right now in the grassy knoll chat room in the periscope area
And as usual, as usual, there's a fake Ramona Bell in there.
Now, let me tell you, that is a fake.
It's probably some big old fat-bellied guy with beard who went in there with the name Ramona Bell.
Well, wrong.
That is a fake because my wife is in there under my name, Art Bell.
So the name Art Bell is really Ramona.
She's the one on the computer.
The one who says Ramona Bell, that's total fake.
That is a fake.
And that is a problem.
And that's a low-life kind of person on the internet.
Low-life kind of person in cyberspace.
Those who would assume the name of others.
So my wife is the one that says Art Bell.
The one that says Ramona Bell is a low-life.
Just wanted you all to know.
She's up there now on AOL.
Not actually on the Internet, in AOL in the Periscope area.
And you can get there just by going on AOL and enter keyword, you know, the keyword category, and enter Art Bell.
It'll take you to the Periscope area and then just put in check Grassy Knoll, and boom, you'll be in the chat room.
But I just wanted you to know that is a fraudulent Ramona Bell.
The real one is operating with my name, Art Bell.
So when you see Art Bell, it's really Ramona.
Now, having said that, let me tell you a little more about what I don't know about women.
And that's quite significant.
Absolutely fresh flowers is what I do know.
What I don't know is why it affects women the way it does.
I know with Ramona it works.
She gets flowers, and it's just an emotional blast.
And with absolutely fresh flowers, it's a bigger emotional blast because you get more flowers.
This giant triangular box just packed full of flowers.
Oh, I'll tell you, in tight bunches, they come straight from a flower farm, and so they cut you this magnificently, exquisitely large shipment.
They put a card in there with your message handwritten and your name at the bottom, flower preservative and next day delivery anywhere in the contiguous US of A. You call now.
They deliver tomorrow during the week.
The number is 1-800-562-6438.
That's 1-800-562-6438.
Anybody who would fake their name like that, as far as I'm concerned, in cyberspace, is a true bottom feeder.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Yes, sir.
Art.
art bell
Yes, sir.
nonpartisan tim in san diego
Jeremy in Florence, Alabama.
unidentified
Your third call from Alabama today.
art bell
How are you doing?
unidentified
Just fine.
nonpartisan tim in san diego
Listen, a quick story for you.
unidentified
I think you'll get a kick out of this.
Mind Holds Bay 00:05:32
unidentified
I'm actually from a rural area here in Alabama, and the largest industry in the area is poultry.
And that being the case, we have a large population of Spanish immigrants that come in to work in that industry.
Yes, sir.
Standing in my front yard yesterday, and one of them came rolling by in a car and wants to know where a local goat farm is.
Now, I don't know if all your readers are familiar with Spanish culture, but they barbecue the goat and eat the goat.
Yeah.
I just kind of in a half-hearted chuckle just said, no, we have no idea, but go ask the local chupacabra.
art bell
I knew it had something.
I knew it had something to do with the chupacabra.
I knew it.
I knew it.
unidentified
They looked at me in terror and just never said a word and left.
I thought you might get a kick out of that.
But also, I understand that you did serve in the Vietnam War.
art bell
I did.
unidentified
Well, unfortunately, I didn't get to make it through last night, but I wish to wish you and every other American veteran thank you.
art bell
Thank you.
unidentified
Thank you very much.
art bell
It's very kind of you.
Thank you, sir.
And there hasn't been a lot of that.
I didn't.
Fortunately, thank you very much.
I did not serve a full tour in Nam.
I was at Caden Air Base on Okinawa.
And when the first casualties began coming out of Vietnam, they were flown directly to the continental U.S.
I mean, they were flown out of Saigon directly to the continental U.S., and the newspaper got hold of that fact.
And it wasn't a bright idea, but that's what we did at the beginning of the conflict.
And when the press got hold of it quickly from the top, the word came down, I can't do this.
Minimal treatment on a long flight like that is not the way this is going to happen.
So at the beginning, we started flying them then to Clark Air Base in the Philippines, and I TDY'd there.
And then to Da Nang.
And so that was, and I was there for several months.
That was my experience with Vietnam.
Quite sufficient, thank you.
I was a medic.
And it's kind of a funny thing about those years.
You don't want to remember, and yet you do constantly.
It's one of those things that your mind sort of holds at bay the horrors.
And there were, boy, there were a lot of horrors.
So your mind holds all that at bay.
Sort of a protective mechanism, even after all these years.
First time caller align, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi.
Hi, Art.
How are you doing, Eric?
Okay.
Good.
This is Dave from Eagle Point, Oregon.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
And I went and saw Independence Day today.
And I thought it was a drag, to be honest with you.
art bell
What?
unidentified
I thought it was a drag.
art bell
You didn't like it?
unidentified
Not at all, no.
art bell
Oh, you're one of the few.
unidentified
I was about a two-star out of a four, I think.
It was pretty average.
art bell
Pretty average.
unidentified
Boy.
art bell
You're really one of the few and the disgusted.
I haven't heard too many like that.
Most people have been very excited.
unidentified
I'll be honest with you, it goes from exciting, scientific, to love scenes and back and forth.
art bell
You've got to have love scenes.
I mean, if the end of the world is coming, not that I know that it is, but if it's coming, I mean, there's going to be a lot of love scenes.
unidentified
Well, it's hard to get a fix on what the movie's about.
I mean, what are you going to do?
art bell
I mean, if saucers are coming down and blowing up the White House, I know that much, and a lot more, cities are melting, you know, you're going to go out in a blaze of love.
unidentified
Well, I'm hard to get a fix on the movie, really, to be honest with you.
It just bounces around from being exciting.
art bell
Well, now, now, I don't want to give away the movie because a lot of people have yet to enjoy it or be disgusted by it, whatever the case is.
But I guess I'm going to have to go see it soon.
I can't hold out much longer.
unidentified
I think you best.
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Take care.
art bell
So there's one who didn't like it.
Well, it's like anything else.
ID4 or any of the materials that I've received or the inquiry, scientific inquiry.
You know, there's always a critic for everything.
And so you just do the best you can, and some are going to like whatever you do, and some are going to hate whatever you do.
That's something I've learned doing this job.
When you talk to millions of people at one time, no matter what you say, no matter what you do, there will be critics, there will be people who will not believe it.
That's why I say no matter what kind of smoking gun for the existence of aliens or anything else that you would come up with, we are now in a day and age where it's not going to be believed by everybody anyway.
So you do what you can.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi.
Yes, sir.
This is Robert in San Francisco.
Yes, sir.
And I haven't seen Independence Day yet.
However, I must say that from what the previews see, that it seems to be, well, I don't want to give away anything from what I know, but I haven't seen it.
But it seems like to me that they've gotten away from appealing to a story in a lot of the recent films that I've seen, because sci-fi is making a slight comeback on films.
They've made a comeback towards appealing to popcorn eaters instead of making a good story like they did in the future.
art bell
Oh, hey, I'm a popcorn eater.
unidentified
Well, I know, I know, I know.
But it seems like that in the past, they didn't have to do that.
art bell
Well, now, see, now you're criticizing without having seen it.
I'm not sure that's fair.
unidentified
That's true.
art bell
I'm not sure that's fair.
And maybe there is a story that my last caller simply didn't grasp.
