Scott Corrales, author of Chupacabras and Other Mysteries (July 4, 1997), traces the blood-draining creature’s origins to Puerto Rico’s 1995 livestock mutilations—over 1,000 animals, including sheep in Spain’s Zaragoza—with unnatural wounds defying known predators. Radiation signatures, acrid odors, and cyclical global sightings (from Florida to Mexico) suggest paranormal or lab-created explanations, though no physical evidence exists. Callers debate cover-ups, ecosystem disruptions, and surveillance tech like satellite-tracked hawks or Bulgarian baby chips, while Art Bell dismisses Clinton’s slavery apology as performative. The episode leaves unsettling questions about hidden forces—whether biological, supernatural, or governmental—behind unexplained phenomena. [Automatically generated summary]
From the high desert and the great American Southwest, I bid you all good evening, or good morning, as the case may be, across all these many prolific time zones from the Hawaiian and Tahitian Islands in the west, eastward to the Caribbean and the U.S. Virgin Islands, south into South America.
We're going to be talking about South America and the Caribbean, north to the Pole, worldwide on the internet.
This is Coast to Coast AM.
Good morning.
I'm Mark Bell.
Well, good evening and good morning.
Anyway, hi there.
We've got an interesting program coming up for you as we begin a brand new week.
Scott Corrales is going to be my guest, and I'm probably mispronouncing his last name, and he sent me a very nice bio, and I'm not going to read it.
If I were to read this, I would destroy every Spanish name in it.
Now, Scott is born of Cuban parents, I can tell you that, lived in Mexico City from 1968 to 1975, and then moved to Puerto Rico in 1975, remaining there until 1982.
Scott is here to talk about a new book he has written called Chupacabras and Other Mysteries.
Ah, the Chupacabra.
You know how I feel about the Chupacabra.
I'm intrigued.
I have always wondered if it really could be, if this creature, this mystical question-marked creature, could really be out there.
Anyway, he's written a book about it, so he ought to be the god ask, and that's exactly what we're going to do here in a few moments.
And other mysteries as well.
Let me get a couple of announcements out of the way and a couple of things, and then we'll talk to Scott, and we'll make him pronounce all the Spanish names in his bio here.
All right, first of all, a big switch in San Diego.
Big time switch.
From KFMB back home to Kogo.
AM600 in San Diego, KOGO.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are back home.
Kogo will be carrying the program seven days a week.
Seven days a week.
Sunday Dreamland will come to you 10 to 1 in the beginning, and no doubt we'll get that down to the 6 o'clock time eventually, because everything has moved forward one hour.
But we are home, back at Cogo.
It will take a few people in San Diego a little while to realize that, but coming home.
Now, welcome also to KSPT in Sandpoint, Idaho, 1400 on the AM dial.
Would like to welcome you to the program.
Great to have, actually great to have both, and to be back on Cogo, of course, in San Diego.
so there's going to be a little bit of dial whiplash going on down in the southern part of california but i presume people will adjust the StreamLink, the audio subscription service of Coast to Coast AM, has a new name, Coast Insider.

Weird Stories on the Radio must be Coast to Coast AM with George Norrie.
You know, when I started doing this radio program, Jesse, half of the subjects I was really into, the paranormal, the unusual, ghosts, and things like that.
The conspiracy stories, you know, I was a little weary about these, other than the Kennedy assassination.
And all of a sudden, I woke up.
I simply woke up.
Is that what happened with you two?
Yeah, that's when I really started to say, what is going on here?
And I started to truly then investigate 9-11.
And today, I don't believe the government story of 9-11.
Here's the three options.
Either we knew about it and allowed it to happen, or we knew about it and participated in it, or these were the dumbest buffoons that could have ever been in charge of our country who could have all this pre-information.
And I started to think they knew it was going to happen.
They either are part of it or they allowed it to.
There's no doubt in my mind.
Now we take you back to the night of June 16, 1997 on Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
I think I've always been interested in the paranormal manifestations associated with the UFO phenomenon since I read John Keel's book, The Monthland Prophecy Series back in the mid-70s.
When Chupacabras came around, or along rather, it was just the culmination of a number of strange events taking place in Puerto Rico for a number of years.
The Chupacabras wave matured in 1995, but if you go back to 1991, you were already getting the mysterious mutilations of domestic animals.
At any rate, you said when you began commenting that you thought it was connected to the UFO phenomenon, or you suggested that it was connected to the UFO phenomenon.
By that I mean the chuba tabra.
But in fact, you don't really think it's connected to UFOs, do you?
Researcher Bruno Cardeñosa looked into not only the mutilation, but disappearance, outright disappearance of entire flocks of sheep in Zaragoza, I believe.
And the Chupacabras was actually invoked by the authorities as the culprit.
This would have been in March of 1995, when a reporter for the WKQ TV station first started to inform his audience of what was going on in Orocovis, which is a town municipality in the center of the island.
A number of sheep had been found completely drained of blood.
People were seeing strange entities running around, entities corresponding to what we've come to know as the gray aliens, quote unquote.
Manifestations of earlier aberrant beings that were never seen again during the Chupacabas waves, like tree-dwelling graves, for lack of a better description.
Tree-dwelling graves.
Graves.
that emitted the sibilant sounds and could mesmerize people.
No, I feel that the best indication we have to go as to its image remains the identicate image put together by researcher Jorge Martin back in 95 based on eyewitness testimony.
If what you saw matched a description given by all the other witnesses.
Exactly.
You'd see a creature with a kangaroo-like body, a humanoid head with wrap-around red eyes, what appear to be very small quills, vibrating quills running down its back, very scrawny, almost useless forearms, and certainly a membrane under its arms that enables it to fly.
However, before we start saying that it flies like a bird, let's clarify that by saying that it has been seen to float in the air and take off.
The original drawings showed it as not having fangs.
Then other witnesses said, yes, it has fangs, protruding fangs, and its most distinctive feature, what appears to be a probosis of some sort that comes out of its mouth and is suspected to be the instrument used to puncture the animals which are later exanguinated.
If I recall correctly, if you look at the photos of the victims, you can see that one single puncture mark, and the instrument, whatever you want to call this probosis, seems to have gone straight in through the organs and sometimes piercing the organs, sometimes pushing them aside as it tried to drain blood.
In many cases, we now hear that the creature has left its victims perfectly hollow.
Apparently there have been troops of feral monkeys in Puerto Rico since a certain laboratory conducting experiments, shut down or released a certain number of them into wilderness.
And they have apparently managed to coexist with the local wildlife.
However, I think it's the most convenient explanation, and it's the explanation that seems to satisfy uh the endless, you know, filling of bureaucratic reporters.
I'm not a scientist, uh, Scott, but if something has been done like the removal of all internal organs or all blood, as far as I knew, Scott, the only thing that would take blood would be a bat.
Now, they're not vampire bats.
They're real.
But they bite their victim and then they lap up the blood.
Which had many people thinking, well, yes, this is probably some sort of giant vampire bat that's come from South America.
And of course, you had a lot of the peasantry speculating as well, yes, well, we get a lot of strange things coming from Venezuela, things come in cargo ships, etc.
So I think throughout the ordeal, you have the average person is trying to find a quote-unquote rational explanation.
Could there be a creature out there capable of doing what the chupacabra is set to have done?
Is it paranormal?
Is it a throwback?
Is it something from ancient days when dinosaurs roamed the earth?
Or is it something brand new?
Or is it something from a lab somewhere?
We'll talk about all these possibilities and continue to tell you about this horrid little creature called the Chikabra in a moment.

Now we take you back to the night of June 16, 1997, on Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Art Bell, Somewhere in Time Back now to Scott Coralis, his book, soon to come out.
Apparently, its modus operandi for attacking animals is heavily based on mesmerizing them and then proceeding to use this probosis that it has, which in fact gave the Chupacavras the name sacalinguas, or tongue sticker outer, in Central America.
Because that's exactly what, I guess, caught people's attention the most.
You know, the very first reported human attack was in May of 96.
The victim was a woman named Theodora Yala in Mexico.
But otherwise, there have been no attacks on humans.
People claim to have been pursued by the Chupacabras, as in the case of two fishermen in Canobanas, Puerto Rico.
But fortunately, it's never demonstrated an interest in humans.
It seems to concentrate on animals, which, curiously enough, and if you can allow a little bit of levity into the matter, was explained by a psychic who invited himself into Chupacavaras research, saying that human blood had too many toxins in it.
I mean, I've never heard that it had an endurance record or speed record either.
Most of the cases that I've read about, the cases that I had the pleasure of assisting Jorge Martín with when I was in Puerto Rico, seemed to just involve the creature appeared, was either heard in the night emitting these horrifying screams.
I think the very first sighting of that sort was in Canovanas, where some people were waiting for the bus in the early afternoon, and they thought they saw a dog running toward them on all fours.
And it happened to be the Chupacavas.
People have seen it scurrying across Highway 3 in Puerto Rico, both daytime and at night.
And I believe the same applies in Mexico.
People have actually seen it engaging in chicken crossing the road kind of behavior.
However, at this point, I just want to add, the variety of sightings in Mexico became wildly different from the sightings in Puerto Rico at one point, where you actually had federales and municipal policemen taking pot shots at a gigantic winged humanoid creature, something like a Bigfoot with wings almost.
And this creature was jumping fences and eluding the police.
So we were getting a variety of different entities being seen in Mexico at some point.
And even a bona fide vampire bat called the Vampyro spectri, which apparently has a tremendous wingspan, was also being seen in southern Mexico at the time.
So whereas the Puerto Rican situation was rather controlled, you had the one perpetrator to deal with.
I happen to know for a fact that our government, governments in general, have been experimenting with some rather unsavory things.
What possibility is there that these animals, these aberrations, are out of a laboratory somewhere, rejects in some sort of perverted genetic research?
Well, I guess cloning, you know, to digress here, would be probably a good way of someday being able to clone certain organs to reproduce organs for people who need transplants, etc.
However, there has been talk, and certainly the book Chubacabras does mention this, a gentleman who claimed to have seen Chubacabras in Arizona or New Mexico in the 1950s.
The gentleman claims that he was a military policeman and that these creatures had actually been part of the quote-unquote cargo manifest of a crashed UFO.
Okay, Dr. Jafay Nara, who's, I think, one of Mexico's foremost investigators in the Chubacabra subject, clearly said that at no point during the Chupacabra sightings in his country was there a single UFO sighting happening anywhere near where the events were taking place.
However, in Puerto Rico, we do get cases of UFO activity and chupacablas presence.
But just to go back to the gentleman in the story about New Mexico, or Arizona for a minute, he said the creatures developed a taste for blood and for sheep after being fed these animals.
I guess they were in some sort of reservation up there where sheep were being raised or what have you.
And this is a case of developers of one animal they seemed to be able to consume without any problem.
And it was a breeding pair, according to his testimony.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of animals with either their blood or all their organs gone.
Is it not incumbent on those veterinarians that have done the autopsies to not put it off on dogs or some other thing because these animals could not do what is being done?
Well, I'd just like to clarify that perhaps by saying you have any kind of state-sponsored veterinarian was, I guess, hedging his bets by using the ape and dog explanation.
But you had medical photographers from the College of Medicine in Puerto Rico coming out and saying this is impossible to not have a two-ton bull having all its blood, its liver, its heart extracted from a single orifice.
In other words, here we've got our government saying UFOs are swamp gas or they're flares or one thing or another, and we can argue about it until the cows come home, pun intended for you.
Exactly.
Or not.
That's fine.
Flare is over, Phoenix, whatever.
But here we've got animals with wounds and autopsies performed showing things that are absolutely impossible with any terrestrial explanation.
However, I think there's also the concern, will this information cause a panic?
And in Puerto Rico, I think that the information was terrifying to the farmers, but to city dwellers who never go to the countryside except on holiday, it was simply yet another story to make fun of.
And this is where the sociological phenomenon kicked off of Chupacabra's t-shirts and Chupacabra's songs, like the one you just played.
And it became simply a term of abuse and also a term of endearment on television shows.
So city dwellers who'd never had direct experience or watched beloved pets or needed animals die a horrible death could make light of it.
And I think that's the case with all city dwellers.
Well, you know, I guess you could suggest when you watch a lion tear its prey apart, it's a horrible death.
So in a way, if there's a chupacab preying on animals, mainly, out there, how does it really differ from a lion that rips its prey apart?
I mean, other than the fact that this obviously is a big mystery, it may be the paranormal, it may be UFOs or whatever, but it's still one animal killing another.
Well, anything we don't understand, we are likely to ascribe to the paranormal.
I mean, to us, it's magic, right?
We don't understand it.
No science explains it.
So we either write it off and lie in reports, or well, I'm just, you know, I'm trying to figure out, first of all, you do believe they're real, don't you?
Simply because of the way that the creature, as with other paranormal manifestations, like the Mocha Vampire just mentioned, they seem to run a course of 12 months to 18 months.
They appear, they kill animals, they create a sensation, then the sightings either end abruptly or they peter out before being both ignored by the media and ignored by the peasantry after a while.
And this is exactly what happened to West Virginia's Mothman back in the 60s.
It appeared for exactly 13 months before disappearing.
Well, I think the dimensional explanation would dovetail quite neatly with the paranormal.
It would be coming in from another dimension, another level of energy, another reality, whatever term we want to give it, as opposed to being dropped here from another star system or being part of a cargo manifest of some downed UFO.
I've simply seen the effect it's had on people present at ceremonies who have no connection whatsoever to this kind of worship.
I've seen people who's skeptical, let's say detached observers, fall under the influence of, let's say, the rhythmical drum beating and so forth in a synthetic ceremony.
And it leads us to believe, you know, having been there, having not fallen under the spell of whatever was going on, that certain people either are quite susceptible to any kind of manipulation or that something was actually happening there.
The more we learn about the ritual magic and what it's designed to accomplish, certainly that's one of the possibilities.
However, I bring this up last, always, because of the reaction it has on most people.
People don't mind hearing about government experiments or genetic freaks run amok or UFOs dropping things off in the countryside.
when it comes to the role of ritual magic in these things people say no wait a minute we've already gone beyond the fringe well I I think it's entirely possible.
Whether their perceptions are warranted or not, I think the media has played a crucial role in shaping this opinion, same our programs like the X-Files and what have you.
Well, as we get reports of microbial life in rocks from Mars, the likelihood of one of Jupiter's moons harboring life under what we now know to be or think to be a sea, water on the moon, all these other announcements, it's no wonder that people think they're being conditioned.
I'm not so sure they're not.
Stand by.
We'll be right back to you.

You're listening to Art Bell somewhere in time on Premier Radio Networks.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from June 16, 1997.
Coast to Coast AM from June
Coast to Coast AM from June 16, 1997.
16, 1997.
Coast to Coast AM from June 16, 1997.
When you first came my way, I said no one could take your place.
And if you get hurt, if you get hurt, my heart will be hurt.
Premier Radio Networks presents Art Bells Somewhere in Time.
Tonight's program originally aired June 16th, 1997.
Art Bell, Somewhere in Time Is there a creature, a winged creature, capable of attacking animals, and we do have hundreds, if not thousands of bodies of animals, with yet this, not just the blood,
but in many cases, all the internal organs sort of sucked out of them through a little hole in their neck.
That is what the chupacabra is said to be able to do.
My guest is Scott Goralis.
He wrote a book called Chupacabras and Other Mysteries.
And certainly out here in Pennsylvania, we have our own Bigfoot sightings, and that sound has certainly, let you play, is certainly a mainstay of many Bigfoot conventions and conferences out here.
And it has the same qualities.
It disappears.
It appears not to behave as animals are supposed to behave.
And I think most researchers are in agreement that, yes, the Pennsylvania Bigfoot, or the East Coast Bigfoot, if you will, is definitely not a physical creature.
Isn't it logical then that something would have been created in a lab someplace, and much like in Jurassic Park, one or two get loose, and that's all it takes?
And certainly, if, let's say, a breeding pair managed to make it into the wilderness, the powers that be would be very interested in finding out how they're making out and what spots are having on the population.
To the point of nauseating media photographers and policemen, civil defense workers.
Then it sort of just petered out and researcher William Guran, who's down in Puerto Rico, tells me that, yes, they keep on getting cases, mutilations are still happening, but the creature has not been seen again.
To my mind, as I said, it would go right back to the paranormal thing, these creatures tend to just either stop abruptly or peter out after a while.
Or perhaps just reduce their level of activity to a maintenance level in which a number of animals are killed here and there.
Little calling cards are left.
If you recall when we started the show, I was telling you back in 1991, you already had reports of, let's say, a dozen goats being killed, 50 rabbits here, 50 ducks there.
Right.
And yet it never transcended to anything greater than that until 1995.
So perhaps there's always a low level of animal mutilations going on.
And that it simply reverted to this, like, what would you call it?
And I think you can also, it does point to the cyclical nature.
I said, we go back to the Mocha vampire, how it appeared, how then it disappeared.
We have chupacabras now in the mid-90s.
Perhaps in the 2016s or thereabouts, we're going to get another major outbreak of sightings if it does seem to follow this pattern.
It certainly, certainly animal mutilations at large, I know that Linda Howe has written about this at length, do follow a cyclical pattern over the decades.
Outbursts throughout the world repeating themselves in different countries as if following a rotation of some sort.
Certainly I know that one of the big concerns in Mexico, at least this concern was voiced by the director of the Chipotepec Zoo in Mexico City, was not as much that the Chupacabras itself would attack their animals, but that certainly ritual worshipers would try to perform similar rites on zoo animals.
And the zoo director pointed to a biblical passage in which a certain instrument is used, which produces a wound that could be quite similar to what Chuvakaras does.
I can't recall exactly what her words were, but they were to that effect.
They said if we want, as I said, we cannot, at this point, I don't think it's the health, well, the healthiest thing to do is just consider every single alternative that's being postulated without subscribing to any particular one, because we may be wrong in the end, logically.
Well, this is, I guess, some information that I just acquired in recent months.
Apparently, back in 95, during the Orocovi stage of Chubacaba's activity, civil defense workers were finding readings in excess of background radiation, which I believe is 10 rats, or 10 millirats.
I'm not exactly sure of the measurement.
And it was enough to prompt civil defense workers to say, let's get out of here.
However, they were quite remiss in not telling the farmers, you know, do not approach this animal, it's radioactive, or it has been irradiated in some way, shape, or form.
Now, Dr. Oscar Badilla in Guatemala, his research also turned up this radiation signature as left behind by this creature.
And if we want to invoke, I guess, the paranormal again, or the interdimensional theory rather, you have a theory posited by John Keel in 1978 in his book, The Eighth Tower, in which he says that these manifestations perhaps require a heavier element when they manifest in our dimension, and they choose a radioactive, a dense radioactive material, perhaps even plutonium.
And as they break down from being in our own reality, they disintegrate and eventually do disappear.
But they leave a considerable amount of radiation as they move along.
Certainly, one of the main complaints voiced by stateside researchers was a lack of strong scientific information.
Let's say radiation readings, soil samples, blood samples, hair samples.
And now we're getting information that, yes, indeed there were Geiger counter readings.
Yes, indeed, there were soil samples.
Yes, you had people in Central America also conducting these things.
But due to the fact that Latin America has gotten this terrible rap as the place where people have heads growing out from under their arms over the years, anything coming from south of the border seems to be cast aside, ridiculed, to just plain ignore it.
There was a period of time, though, when people here stopped laughing, at least in the southwest, because we began to experience mutilations that, in fact, had sightings of the chupacabra ourselves, some in California, New Mexico, Arizona, these areas.
And so the laughter quieted down for quite a while.
Well, that's certainly the healthy response, I think, once people have been subjected to the phenomenon or know people who've suffered losses on account of it or may have even had sightings.
The truth of the matter is that when you go down into Mexico, the chupacabra is not at all, not at all treated the way it is here.
We laugh, we joke, we make songs like the one I played, we make t-shirts and all the rest of it, and for that matter, some of that may be going on in Mexico, but the average Mexican is not humored at all by these stories, are they?
No, simply because of the periodicity of these things.
These things have happened before.
They've always happened.
Certainly a country like Mexico has had this centuries-old tradition about shapeshifters, elementals, the naguales, as they're called.
And this is not a laughing matter.
People have always feared the village sorcerer, the village witch, the person who can quote-unquote shed their skin and assume an animal form.
So we can dismiss these things as folklore or just something for the anthropologist to write his PhD dissertation on.
But this is something that people have always considered part and parcel the reality.
And in fact, this is something that Spanish investigator Servil Quixebo has said for years.
We had so many words in the vocabulary of every single country for elves, fairies, pixies, vampires, etc.
So many words for creatures that ostensibly do not exist in every single language that it does make one wonder why we have all these words for things that are often dismissed as childish or just being the product of fantasy or what have you.
I remember when I was a kid, I thought there was a monster in the closet, and I still keep my closet door closed at night before I go to sleep because of that, Scott.
Dumb, huh?
That's a carryover from childhood.
I still don't like open closets because I know there are things in there.
And so one other possibility that I've always wondered about is the monster from the id.
In other words, the possibility that we create our own monsters or that it is possible.
You know, we know so little about the human brain.
It is so powerful, it can do so many things that we don't know about.
That is it not possible that, in effect, we create them ourselves?
No, that's probably the most fascinating aspect of the phenomenon.
Are we developing, let's say, the ability that the Tibetan monks allegedly have of creating topas, thought forms which are quite solid and can respond, can interact with physical creatures and leave an impression on the physical world around them?
However, you can't tell a farmer that an archetype or a creature from the id just punched a hole in one of its animals.
So that's a very hard one to get people to accept or even consider.
But it's truly fascinating.
If as a society we're now creating our own, very much like, and I hate to invoke science fiction, but the classic film Forbidden Planet, where a machine for generating creatures of the it was part of the plot of the movie.
Well, as I recall, the machine supplied the nearly endless amount of power that allowed the creation and maintenance of this creature, but it only supplied the power.
It was the evil mind, you recall, of the man who lived on the planet, who was in effect creating this horrid monster.
Very, very ugly creature indeed, and other similar mysteries.
And as we go back to him and your calls in a second, I got this fact from Randy.
Art, what is going on?
There have been five tornadoes in Oklahoma City, winds to 75 miles an hour here in Arkansas, and two more tornadoes in Texas.
The weather is not the same anymore.
Well, of course, Randy, I agree with you.
Now, there have always been tornadoes in Oklahoma.
That is not unusual.
But there is no question about the fact that our weather is changing and quickening, if you will.
That's the title of my book, of course, Plug Pug.
I'll tell you how to get it after a while here.
But I would like to ask you about that, Scott.
There is something going on, some environmental change going on that is reflected not just by the possible presence of chupacabras and whatever else, but there's a larger thing going on, a change, basic, profound change in our weather, in our environment.
New diseases are popping up, things that are killing fish off the east coast, the Antarctic ice shelf, one of them getting ready to drop off into the water.
A lot of very unusual environmental things, ozone depletion, the rest of it, all going on at once.
And it all seems to be quickening.
Is it possible that these strange creatures are some kind of product of this change?
I mean, we seem to be having all the signs of the times, not only applicable to the Christian religion, but to other millennial religions as well.
Certainly people who, let's say, read the book of Revelation, etc., have drawn parameters between what was going to happen, strange creatures being seen, etc.
And there's certainly the possibility that this could also be Chupacavras and Bigfoot-like creatures and your pterodactyls that manifest every so often could be part of this.
First time caller line, you are on the air with my guest, Scott.
unidentified
I just wanted to ask him, what does he think?
What bothers me about this, like that thing and Bigfoot and whatnot, is that they seem to cough up here and then suddenly they're in California and somewhere else and here or there.
And I was just wondering, how much do you think it might be people propagating a legend?
Yeah, up here in British Columbia and I think what people are hearing on the media and the press is usually the humorous, the dismissive stories, which in no way would lead people to begin conducting hoaxes on their own.
Aside from the photo hoaxes, which are ubiquitous in these days of all kinds of scanning technology in the home and all these things, there have been no hoaxes.
You certainly have had a lot of colorful characters, like the psychic I mentioned earlier in the show, dropping their two cents and saying that they're from this planet, that planet, they will not drink human blood, etc.
But outright hoaxes, I don't believe we've had any thus far.
I used to live with the Quilliwood Indians in Forks, Washington.
I'm a trucker, and I haul their fish.
They're a fishing village.
And I asked one time about Bigfoot down in that area, and they said, yeah, we have sightings all the time, but we just don't noise it around.
We're tired of being laughed at.
Well, I have an incident to relate to you.
The reservation cop and I were pretty good friends.
And the night before all of this, the big happening, they had gone to dinner, the Coast Guard commander and his wife and Joe and his wife, the reservation cop, of course.
And now coming back that night about 9.30, there was a hard right-hand turn into the reservation, a little one and a half lane block top road, and this big hairy critter ran across the road.
Joe got him in his spotlight, stopped his car.
He was in his prowl car, and he stepped back to the pickup behind him, which there was a Coast Guard pickup, and he asked the guy in the pickup, did you see anything?
He says, well, I can't really be sure.
So they let it go.
The next morning, two little kids were playing on a bend in the river where it took its last turn before it went out to the ocean.
And they were throwing rocks at some big critter across in the bushes, across the river.
It was quite a ways.
The rocks never got to him.
And the big guy, he'd kind of half-heartedly throw one back.
But he was on a spot of ground that was bordered on one side by the blacktop road to a public parking area to go to the beach, which was a reservation border.
The beach access was public land.
And then the river divided the public land from the reservation.
Well, here came a car.
The big guy heard it.
He stood up.
And these two little kids, the next thing Joe knows, he's got them in his office and they're practically incoherent.
And he related this to me.
I didn't see it firsthand, of course.
And that's when I began asking around about, they call them Sasquatch up there.
They describe it as a simian, eight-foot-tall, hairy creature.
It's also the mythology of the area.
People feel that it's a gentle giant, just as people in the Pacific Northwest feel about Bigfoot.
And certainly there has been evidence gathered by zoologists over the years that such a creature does exist at the higher reaches of the Andes.
If you move into Amazonia in Brazil, you start getting reports of gigantic simians or humanoids, pre-human creatures, which could also be part of the Biku tradition.
Puerto Rico, as I said, has had reports of the Comecoboyos since the 80s, or out of the 70s, actually.
Mexico has also had, this is interesting about Mexico, is its two mountain chains, the Cieta Madre, both on the east and the west, are very poorly explored mountains.
And people are quite proud of the fact, actually, that these mountains have never been explored.
And people consider it a point of pride that these things have never been properly investigated.
And certainly, creatures like that could be living in there.
If you move into Central America, you have a smaller simian creature, the Sisamite, which is in Belize, in Honduras.
So yes, you do have this tradition of Sasquatch-like creatures spreading all the way down to South America.
Certainly, there's a Bigfoot of the Pyrenees between France and Spain.
So is this simply a creature that chooses mountains as its habitat?
no gee whiz god I thought every square inch of everywhere had been trumped upon by man that is I think we all think that I think was a the late Ivan Sanderson who pointed out to the fact that cartographers map makers play fast and loose with the with the with their the data they have at hand
I'm very concerned, and I'm interested in Scott what he's talking about, because I have seen, they've had several features on different television shows about this, and they have shown, tried to show pictures of what this tutorana looks like.
That seems to be the one closest to the truth, to the actual description from the truth.
I've seen a number of drawings of the creature.
When I've seen the numbers held up to the number of witnesses, they say, no, the closest one seems to be the original drawing.
unidentified
Because they look almost like, you know, like the aliens.
And as you were talking before about all the different storms and the activities and the different tornadoes and stuff, I'm from Westfield, Massachusetts, believe it or not.
Nonetheless, I tend to incline to the fact that if it's leaving that kind of radiation amount, you're dealing with something completely beyond the pale.
You know, I believe that in January of 96 there was a project set up in Puerto Rico to somehow involve a network of night vision equipment and camcorders to be triggered at a certain time.
And I'm not sure what the outcome of that project was, but certainly efforts have been made in that direction.
Now, however, one of the main complaints, though, that's been echoed, I think, since the situation started, is why don't people have more camcorders in Puerto Rico, etc.?
And I think the main contention here is yes, people have as much access to still cameras, camcorders, what have you.
Well, listen, whether it is or not, let me tell you something.
I have now seen two UFOs.
Both times I kicked myself silly after seeing the things.
One, particularly, not very long ago here at home, I could have run in and grabbed my 8mm, which had a good zoom on it, and it didn't occur to me.
You know why?
Because when you're in the middle of something like that, you're absolutely frozen.
And as much as a disc in the sky froze me, Scott, I can only imagine that to see something like the chupacabra, not only would you be, it would be fight or flight time, or you'd be frozen in place with victim tattooed on your forehead, it's hard to know which, but you'd be not inclined to reach for a camera.
And only people who have seen something like this and understand the way it immobilizes you can understand why there are not a lot of photographs taken.
However, the contention keeps on, it arises every time.
Why are there no photos?
Why do we keep on having drawings and artists' renderings?
Why aren't there any photos?
What about Mexico?
What about this?
What about here?
What about there?
And all we can produce is, let's say, in the cold light of day.
It's handiwork.
We keep on seeing the dead animals.
Yet, perhaps someday one of these camera arrays will work and deliver us images, hopefully video footage as opposed to film footage of the creature carrying out its actions.
Well, suppose they were to set up night vision equipment and video recorders and all the rest of it and cameras, and they actually caught an image of one of these.
How do you think that would affect society, particularly Spanish society?
They're going to say it is somebody in a suit, or they're going to say it is a photographic manipulation.
And frankly, that's true of any photograph of any unusual phenomena, from ghosts to UFOs to photographs of creatures and all the rest of it.
We have come into an age where nobody is going to believe a damn thing, photograph or not.
So, next question.
With regard to Bigfoot, there is a reputable scientist in the Northwest who says the first Bigfoot that we can kill, we should kill.
And then there should be the death penalty for anybody who would kill a second one.
In other words, he's saying, in effect, we want one so that we know we've got this creature.
We put it on the endangered species list, we examine it, we dissect it, we cut it into little pieces and find out what makes it tick, and then we kill no more.
He has the background and has done the research on the chupacapra and other similar histories.
So if you have questions about these weird creatures, and I guess in a way it also involves Bigfoot and this whole range of creatures that seem to come and go in a most horrific way, here we are.

Open up your third eye with Coast to Coast AM and George Norrie.
I am now convinced that people who listen to this program have an even higher IQ.
They truly want knowledge because they are different than most people.
And they are the people that have left themselves open.
They don't put blinkers on.
They are looking for information and this is where they find it.
So once again, I've got to compliment you for bringing this kind of programming to the masses and that's a beautiful thing.
Now we take you back to the night of June 16, 1997, on Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Well, there are those who would be suspicious that the Chupacabra, other than its brief sojourn into the States, is seen mainly in Spanish-speaking areas.
Okay, but is there any cultural propensity that you could explain that would begin to enter that area saying, well, it is mainly a Spanish kind of thing?
You could say that, yes, as we mentioned earlier in the show, that there is a greater acceptance of the paranormal, the supernatural, in Latin society, perhaps because of this African influence to deal with as well.
And that's the supernatural is certainly a West African thing.
Well, we know that UFO sightings are so common in Mexico City that people have begun to take them for granted and just sort of going, oh, there's another one.
See, that was the case when I lived there in the 70s.
We had, I guess, our own equivalent down there of the 1973 Year of the Humanoids we were hiding in the States.
And it got to the point where UFOs were simply a matter of curiosity more than anything, a matter of admiration.
People stopped paying attention and said, well, yes, these things are real, and they may be from another planet, from another dimension, and you don't know.
Yeah, I was wondering, St. Louis is a place that's building out, and as our community kind of branches out into what used to be wooded areas, have there been any reports of a Bigfoot wandering through a subdivision?
It is interesting as we move into areas that we have not been in before.
For example, in South America, it is said you can see the fires in the rainforests as we burn them down.
From space, they are so severe.
And so we're constantly moving man into areas where man has never been before, and maybe in a lot of areas, as you pointed out earlier, where man has never walked before.
So should we be surprised that we see things that man has never seen before?
Well, we know that when we stir up ecosystems that have never been disturbed, we come up with things like E. Ebola virus and Laffa fever and all these other strange viruses, which we have no immunity resistance, certainly.
The chupacabras is a recent phenomenon in the incarnation to which it's been known.
It's it was from 1995.
If you go back to the 70s, you'll see similar activity, but there was no creature associated with it.
unidentified
Because I was wondering as far as reproduction, because I get the impression that when the Sasquatch and the Chippacabra is being talked about, it's talked about singly, like a chippacabra or a Sasquatch.
And I was wondering they must be reproducing, or at some point, what would their lifespan be?
I mean, they would either have to die off like anything.
My question fits into the realm of other kind of mysteries.
Okay.
I wanted to ask Scott if he knew whether or not he'd heard anything about people with, this is my situation, waking up in the morning with different kinds of brands.
My children call them brandings.
They're like shapes of squares, circles, triangles.
It would fall more into the realm of poltergeistic phenomena where welts are left on the skin, impressions left on the skin, or what is now being covered under abduction studies.
unidentified
Well, you know, I did call Peter Davenport here in Seattle, and he put me in touch with a doctor here who does this as a side kind of thing.
He has very limited time that he can invest in this.
I'm in Mendota, Illinois, currently making a stop in a town here.
You know, you talk a lot about, we got on the subject earlier.
You guys were talking a little bit about aliens, possibilities of cover-ups with the government and not letting people possibly know about them.
Scott, do you ever have the fear, all the work and the effort and the time that you put into this, that if one is ever found alive or dead, that there's a possibility that nobody could ever know about this, and it would take years to unravel, so to speak, as the UFOs have come along in that?
In other words, let's say we find a body, or we have found one, or let's say that we have captured one alive.
Isn't it probable, Scott, that the military would descend, they would take the creature, it would disappear to right person in Air Force Base or someplace or another, and we would never see it?
Much like electricity was of no use to Benjamin Franklin.
He was fooling around with the concept.
It was halfway another century before it was useful to someone.
And I think that's the thing with ufology.
We are creating the reference books that our great-great-great-grandchildren will look back to for the early information on the phenomenon when they're in a position to solve the mystery.
So I think even if a body were discovered and the information were concealed, somehow those government reports would eventually surface in the future.
And it's a phenomenon that's going to be for the benefit of future generations.
It's very important that we document everything, we preserve all the information we have to that end.
One of the questions I'd like to ask Scott is, and this is something that you've been talking about a lot with your quickening, it's are these animals, like the chewpacabra, the Sasquatch, are they simply animals that have already been here for eons and that because we're simply going into their territory, that we're seeing them more often?
But we cannot dismiss the possibility that as we move into virgin forest areas in our search for minerals and other resources we're drilling deep into the earth, we are going into caves, it could be possible that these creatures form part of our physical reality.
However, why do they leave these radiation signatures?
But drilling ever deeper for more oil, for minerals, certainly Puerto Rico has supplies of copper and other valuable metals, and there's consideration that they're going to be exploded.
Test pits could have been dug, and this thing could have come out.
If you'd like to talk to him, that's what telephones are for.
all busy at the moment but uh...

Weird Stories on the Radio Must Be Coast to Coast AM with George Norrie.
You know, when I started doing this radio program, Jesse, half of the subjects I was really into.
The paranormal, the unusual, ghosts, and things like that.
The conspiracy stories, you know, I was a little weary about these, other than the Kennedy assassination.
And all of a sudden, I woke up.
I simply woke up.
Is that what happened with you two?
Yeah, that's when I really started to say, what is going on here?
And I started to truly then investigate 9-11.
And today, I don't believe the government story of 9-11.
Here's the three options.
Either we knew about it and allowed it to happen, or we knew about it and participated in it, or these were the dumbest buffoons that could have ever been in charge of our country who could have all this pre-information.
And I started to think they knew it was going to happen.
They either are part of it or they allowed it to.
There's no doubt in my mind.
Now we take you back to the night of June 16, 1997, on Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Well, Ernest, I'd like to begin by saying you mentioned that I was the investigator.
I like to see myself just as the chronicler.
The credit for the investigation goes to the unsung researchers in Puerto Rico, like Federico Alvarez, Willie Dudan, Jorge Martin, and people who just selflessly devoted themselves for months to going into these areas, talking to the witnesses, and ultimately to the witnesses themselves for coming forward.
The Puerto Rican researchers believe that it's an extraterrestrial phenomenon in some way related to the strong presence of allegedly alien beings on the island.
That's a higher percentage than support abortion, for example.
As a matter of fact, 8 out of 10 is rarely taken as agreement.
Well, I think we had it in the Gulf War, maybe.
But Americans rarely agree to that percentage on anything.
So I thought that was amazing.
Wildcardline, you're on the air with Scott Corrales.
unidentified
Hi.
Hi, I'm so excited to get on.
Hi, Scott.
It's hierarchy for investigating the Chupacagas.
I moved to Puerto Rico in 95, and the Chupacagas has been a part of my life.
Not exactly personally, but, you know, just being exposed to it.
It's interesting that the indigenous people there had a myth of a bat-like creature that represented death, and it was the caldibi.
And also another thing geographically about the island is that it's just a great big catacomb.
When I was there, I went to classes and I did some cave exploring, and there's just one place called Kamui where there are 2,000 caves in the area, and only 200 have been explored.
But as the college just pointed out, yes, the Taino Indians had a number of legends, certain creatures like the Mavoya, I believe, is one of the entities.
And yes, there's very much a folkloric background for some of these sightings.
But Chubacabras itself appears to be a recent development.
And I don't see it collected anywhere in the history books at any rate.
And I've got a question, and it involves two areas.
One is with the germs and the animals dying and so forth.
And the other involves the sightings of the Sasquatch.
Okay, dating back to World War I, there's been ongoing research to develop a germ or a bacterium or a toxin that would be super, you know, extremely toxic.
You couldn't kill it.
And the United States and Great Britain, Germany, Japan, Russia are all involved in developing this thing.
We have done experimentation off of the East Coast that I'm aware of in the early 50s.
And since then, you know, the alligators and crocodiles down in the Florida area, they've lost their ability to reproduce.
So there's been sea animals and so forth all over on both coasts that have shown up dead.
That's, of course, as long as we continue discussing the central genetics, certainly, and an escapee from a lab.
However, there's been no huge manhunt for the creature, that I can tell.
Of course, there were rumors that the creature had, in fact, been captured by the civil defense in the early weeks of the phenomenon, the Puerto Rican stage of the phenomenon.
But nothing ever came of that.
It just remained hearsay.
Which, unfortunately, there's been too much of in the whole phenomenon, but that's what we're dealing with.
Well, as I said, if one were captured, I think it very unlikely the military would go and get it and take it away, and they would dissect it, trying to find out if it was alien or what it was, if they weren't the ones who created it.
I post these things, and you never know what's fraudulent and what's real, but I put them up there, Scott, and I let people look at them and decide for themselves.
We, I say we, a friend of mine and I had actually it was me that heard the newscast from a local TV station about a man who had had some sort of encounter.
And at that particular time, I'd really just heard, you know, little bits and pieces about the troop of community.
What really got my attention was the news media, local news media, had to rerun the story because the gentleman got a little upset because they portrayed him as the stereotypical good old boy with his dog and such.
The man was a carpenter and they lived out in the country.
He had two small boys.
And what was interesting is when we went out there, he started to go in the house because at that time he was being inundated, he had had a veterinarian to come out and check his dog.
And the veterinarian had didn't make any comment about any marks.
The marks that we saw on this particular dog were not that of an animal or a chupacabra.
But at that time, we didn't know what it was.
He had described these strange lights and also had a UFO that was reported above him during this hysterical situation.
My outtake on it after hearing this was that something was obviously looking at something or looking for something around where he lived.
Now, he had also told us of all the small animals that his dogs had drug up, but had all had literally dried up.
He called them dehydrated.
And so, again, I didn't make the connection.
It wasn't until a month later when we went back after Newfound showed up.
Let me back up just a second.
There were some tracks that he showed us under his deck.
He lived in a trailer out in the country, and the field that he was back up against was just a great big soybean field.
As a matter of fact, we wanted to take a sample of them, and he told us not to because Nufon had contacted him and told him to leave everything as it was until they showed up.
So we didn't bother it, but the tracks, this might sound strange, but it looked like have you ever seen a chicken's track?
Except this had webs between the toes, bigger webs than a chicken would have.
But it definitely was an imprint, and it was organic.
I'm also a physician, and I'm using an alias for obvious reasons.
And so having that interest in this, we went out there.
I guess this was my first official UFO investigation that turned out to be a little stranger because, in fact, when we went back a month later, Newfound had interviewed his two sons, and the little boy, the smaller boy, had told the people that he had saw this creature up in a tree.
And again, I had not made the connection with the small animals, but we were more interested in the UFO sighting and some of the strange phenomena that centered around it.
So when we heard Mufon, it told the little boy that that was a chupacabra, the way he described it.
And this person was obviously in a situation.
He didn't want any more media on this because his first initial, the local radio stations were making fun of him.
So we were genuine with him.
And, you know, to this date, I could go back out there and visit with him.
I really appreciate your show, and I think you have some interesting concepts on that.
My only thing is that whatever it was, after thinking about this, from having been out there on two different occasions, is that it would take too much detail to go in to make this correlation.
But from what I understood, and this is just an opinion, but it seemed like whatever had gotten loose out there and had been out there weeks before this sighting appeared, something had some way of tracking this animal.
And it had to be something with a lot more technology than we have.
And was, because after that incident, after the UFO incident, there were no more dead animals shown.
I'm going to touch on just a couple of things here, and then we're going to go to open lines.
Over the weekend, CNN and the USA today combined in their efforts, as they do many times, to do a poll.
And the results of that poll, along with many other questions, were as follows.
64% of the American people, all of you, say aliens have contacted humans.
Imagine that.
80% of all Americans, I said 80%, and we rarely, rarely ever agree, you know, in that percentile.
80% of all Americans say they believe the U.S. government is hiding information on alien contact.
These are not small majorities.
They're big ones.
And my question is, why do you think such a large group of Americans believe in alien presence, in fact, in a greater percentage than they give their own government credibility?
It's a pretty good question, isn't it?
They believe more in aliens than they do in their own government.
And then, of course, there is the one that I think most of the talk shows are probably talking about.
And I will not ignore it.
The president in San Diego made a speech in which he considered it's interesting that he would consider it as opposed to doing it.
It's like trying to run it up the flagpole or something.
Considering an apology to black Americans for slavery.
Now, the first question I have is why the president would consider publicly giving an apology.
If you're going to do it, why not just do it?
Is he just putting this out there?
Trying to, um, trying to see what we think of the idea?
I suppose.
He conducts himself mostly by polling, doesn't he?
So, obviously then, is it proper the president apologized for slavery or our ancestors' misdoings?
Is it proper he would do that?
Is there any good reason for him to do it?
Now, there are a couple of ways of looking at race relations in America today.
One of them is the inner cities where they are arguably deteriorating, getting worse.
And the other is non-inner city areas where relations probably are getting better.
As a matter of fact, I think it was Cokie Roberts on Sunday Show, said that interracial marriage is up 20% in the last 10 years.
And I have always thought that eventually that will put an end to race difficulties because there will continue to be interracial marriage until finally we all end up being grays or something.
You know, not black, not white, not red, with some Asian characteristics.
We'll end up looking like grays with some Asian characteristics.
What does that remind you of?
So there is that.
unidentified
*Sounds of the sound*
Now we take you back to the night of June 16, 1997, on Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
I feel more people believe in aliens, true, than our government, because the aliens haven't lied to us As much as the government has.
As far as President Clinton, or anybody for that matter, apologizing to blacks in America for slavery, I don't know too many people living today that have anything to do with it.
So why should anybody living today have to apologize for it?
It's too bad that there was slavery in the first place.
But I'm not sure, but I'm sure not going to apologize for something I have nothing to do with.
I think that our president is just setting something up to be talked about, argued about, that will have no relevance for those who take the position Nick does.
Or that I do.
And I'm not against it.
Slavery was wrong.
Everybody knows that.
But what relevance is there, in what way will it improve anybody's life out there for a president to make an apology?
By the way, while we're still at it, he won't even apologize to Paula Jones.
Well, there's been two reasons for you to have it off.
unidentified
Alright.
I watch zombie movies, Italian zombie movies, and...
Yeah, from the 70s.
And I was wondering if, like, say there was a contagion or disease now that was infecting people, killing them, and the bodies, I don't know, they still had the disease when they were buried.
do you think that there's a possibility that any disease that was coming forth right now would maybe be, I don't know, in some kind of state of limbo or maybe just a...
There might be some little something down there lying dormant, waiting for just the right pollutant to come along and marry it, and it would reanimate, a better term, the dead, and we would have once again zombies.
The original one was actually more horrible than the redo, you know, where we had color graphic of people being dismembered.
Oh, man, I remember that first one.
Actually, even the advertisement for it on the radio, I don't know if those of you who are old enough to remember or not, but even the advertisement for Night of the Living Dead on the radio was really, really scary.
Boy, that was scary.
Used to freak me out, but then again, I liked it too.
So there he was, a fan of zombies.
First time, call our line, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hi, Art.
Yes.
This is Jerry from Nashville.
I'm a black person, and I've read Ghost Wolf's manuscript, and I think that probably what the...
I sure will.
I think probably what he's president is getting at is just sort of moving forward, recreating our thoughts throughout his manuscript.
But I don't think, I mean, I certainly don't require an apology, but I just think that perhaps, you know, I get the impression that we need to change direction, and so we just need to start somewhere.
You know, even with the Indians, you know, just the people that probably, the people that did this are no longer here, but it's just a way of starting.
You know, I'm on my prayer bones all the time asking for forgiveness for anything I've done to people, you know.
I would just like to know if there's really anything that you feel would come of the president apologizing for slavery.
Would there be any difference in your life, in people's hearts, or anything?
unidentified
No, not at all.
I just feel that this is just a way of, you know, starting over and improving, you know, the future for us because I get the impression that our thoughts, you know, are causing us to move towards destruction.
I thank you for the call, 40 acres and mule, or whatever it is Farrakhan wants, or, you know, some sort of remuneration or whatever.
We apologized for incarceration of the Japanese, the internment, incarceration, you picked the word, during the Second World War, as being unconstitutional.
Of course, there are survivors of that.
I don't think there's anybody around now that was a slave, or anybody around now that was a slave owner.
And I don't know, I vacillate between thinking, well, it's an okay thing.
It would have been okay if he'd just come out and had done it.
But to sort of make it a national question, should we or should we not apologize, which is what I'm getting from what he said in San Diego, I just don't see why we're doing that.
West of the Rockies, you're on air.

Hi.
Hi, Arthur.
This is Jack from San Joaquin Valley in California.
In other words, a police car going by on the street could send out a beam to you, and they could literally see through your clothing and see a concealed weapon.
That's the technology.
Now, how about that?
unidentified
Well, I wouldn't have a problem with this as long as it was a condition of parole.
For everybody on the streets who's just walking around and minding their own business, never been in trouble with the law, I can see where this would be a problem.
And this I would have a problem with.
If a person's on parole or probation and it's a condition of their parole and they have a search clause, then I can see where this could be initiated for this particular person.
Well, if they identified the person and then did the search electronically, that would be one thing.
But to have this device on a police car or in a patrol car as a routine matter, going around looking for people carrying concealed weapons, I don't know.
That seems to me like a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment, clearly.
unidentified
I didn't agree with you on that point, Norton.
I can see that.
I'm not really certain about how this technology is all-encompassing.
First time I've heard about it, it was on your show tonight.
Yeah, I just, something I've been kind of noticing when I watch TV and stuff, read magazines.
A couple of years ago, I was watching an article about the Canadians were upset with the American military about something about certain kinds of hawks or something that were migrating back and forth because the military reasoned for an experiment.
And the experiment was that they had a small item attached to the bird's leg that they could track it by satellite.
And then that the next step, which was supposed to be available the next year, and this was several years ago, is that that thing on their leg would actually be able to transmit a video signal to the satellite.
And this is just kind of giving me an idea of what the technology is out there available.
And then I read articles in different science magazines about the global positioning devices that they have and that they're also working on transmitting badges so that you could wear a badge that would transmit your location.
And some of the applications that were talked about was like, you know, you go to Disneyland and you put one on each child.
You don't have to worry about, you know, them being lost.
And when I start to piece the whole thing together, and, you know, I'm not really one of those conspiracy-minded people, but, you know, in general, I don't trust the government.
But when I think about the whole thing pieced together, if, you know, when I think about the applications for crime, you know, if I was able to put something on somebody, that would I would know where they are at any time.
What they could put in you is an active device that would in effect be like an airplane transponder.
And so they could literally track everybody going everywhere.
unidentified
Right.
And the thing is, you know, one of the things I always think about government, the way to get what you want is to have the people demand it.
And, you know, when you start talking about how it could solve crime, you know, children would no longer be a threat to the, or not 100%, but, you know, your children, you could find out where they are within a blink of a second possibly.
And they could, you know, who is going to take anybody's kids anymore with the possibility of being found immediately.
I'm talking years down the road.
When you tie this all in with, you start tying in with laser satellite technology and different things like that, I start to think, well, you know, if a good citizen, of all the good citizens who have this chip or whatever on them, you know, then you look down the road at, you know, when it comes to control, you could be taken out at any time, at any place, whenever they wanted to.
Tonight featuring a replay of Coast to Coast AM from June 16th, 1997.
I see them blue following you.
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world I see skies of blue and dark so white, the bright blessed day, the dogs say goodnight, and I think to myself,
Music Who wants to buy this diamond ring?
You took it up a big enough, it doesn't mean a thing.
You took it up, but big enough, it doesn't mean a thing.
This diamond ring doesn't diamond for me anymore.
This diamond ring doesn't mean what it's anymore.
You got someone whose love is true Let it shine for you This stone is genuine I've lost your meet.
If your baby's truer than my baby wants to meet.
You're listening to Art Bell somewhere in time on Premiere Radio Networks tonight, an oncore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from June 16th, 1997.
I'm Art Bell, and yes, this is the new time slot we're in.
Somebody writes Art.
Would you please explain your reasoning for moving the time slot of your show, Russ in California?
Sure.
No problem, Russ.
We are generally thought of as an all-night program.
And it's easier to be an all-night program beginning at 1 a.m. on the East Coast than it is at 2.
And that is the main reason for moving.
And then, of course, as you come across the time zones in the country, it becomes very convenient.
For example, in the Midwest, we have a midnight start.
In mountain time zones, we have an 11 o'clock start.
And here in the Pacific, we have a 10 o'clock start.
So it was just sort of more convenient all the way around.

I am now convinced that people who listen to this program have an even higher IQ.
They truly want knowledge because they are different than most people.
And they are the people that have left themselves open.
They don't put blinkers on.
They are looking for information and this is where they find it.
So once again, I've got to compliment you for bringing this kind of programming to the masses and that's a beautiful thing.
Now we take you back to the night of June 16, 1997, on Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Art Bell All right, back to the lines we go west of the Rockies.
Since we're having open lines this evening, I thought I'd like to talk about black helicopters.
Okay.
I spent, well, I'm a retired Air Force firefighter, and I spent a good portion of my time during my military career watching helicopters fly around the airfield.
Have you ever seen, well, So when you fall off a pole, you have two choices.
You can either grab the pole and slide down it, in essence, and they will be picking things out of your body for months to come, and you'll generally get poisoned.
Or you can push away from the pole and fall.
I chose to push away from the pole and fall.
And I came down on my butt and my elbow.
And when I did, it compressed two of my vertebrae, L4 and L5, so that every now and then they reach out and touch the adjacent nerve.
And when they do, I become like a pretzel for a few days.
A couple months back, I was listening to your show, and you had gotten a fact from the girlfriend of a guy named Billy Bob or something like that who was flying over Area 51.
Well, I guess too many people are complaining about those kinds of searches.
So this way they'll be able to just go from their patrol car, and they'll see that you have a gun, and then they will have sufficient cause to search.
Now, what I'm saying is, this kind of technology, to me, represents a terrible, terrible invasion of our privacy and a violation of our Fourth Amendment rights.
What do you think?
unidentified
I think it could very well get that far, but I think they're doing that already, aren't they?
If you do have any children, as you read today's headlines with children being kidnapped and killed, would you be willing to have a chip implanted in your child?
Suppose they told you, but crime is rampant, children are being taken, children are being assaulted, and this chip would allow us to save your child's life.
unidentified
I doubt it.
I don't think that they could make that kind of assertion, and they certainly couldn't guarantee that, and I don't think it's worth it.
I think that the lack of privacy, well, we don't have any privacy anymore, but I mean, enough is enough, and I would prefer not to do that.
I was just sitting here brewing the midnight oil or the early morning oil, getting ready to send some stuff to Richard, and I hear he's going to be on tomorrow night.
That's true.
And I just wanted to call and tell you how much I enjoyed your show with Stan Tennon.
Well, that's one way of looking at it, but then one could argue that your chosen destiny is to commit suicide.
unidentified
That could be the case, exactly.
Now, it says here, you know, however, of course, agreed upon by you as your choice, you must examine, okay, not only your action, you know, the action you cause on itself, but the intent behind the action to determine whether it is appropriate or inappropriate.
I was just thinking, you know, I think it's a good idea to implant it in kids, but I'd like to just be sure that they take it out at a certain point, you know.
I don't feel guilty and blacks I don't have genetic guilt, as a matter of fact.
If you'll go back and look at Africa and the history, and you'll find, look at the history of Egypt and northern Africa, you'll find out that blacks and Africans had blacks as slaves there.
I mean, think of the apology those people ought to get.
unidentified
That's right.
There's so many apologies due for a lot of things.
And I'm not condoning what my great-great-great-grandfather did, but on the other hand, I just want to say this again, please, is that Clinton came on tonight.
He indicated within 30 to 50 years that the white people in the country will be outnumbered.
And he's like shoving this down our throats and saying, this is something we're going to have to accept, and we're going to have to have good racial relations whether we like it or not.
And I'm just going to say this, and I've said it before, and you've probably heard me when I've said it previously.
Name on your left hand five things that a black person has invented, manufactured, brought to market.
