Time Text
From the high desert in 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 western side, including the Hawaiian, Tahitian island chains, and more, To the eastern side, the Caribbean, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, near Montserrat.
We're going to be talking a little bit about Montserrat tonight.
And south into South America, north to the pole, worldwide on ye olde internet, this is Coast to Coast AM, and I'm Art Bell.
Welcome.
It will be a night of many things.
It is the night of the full moon.
Have you looked outside?
Have you seen that moon?
Oh, it will bring many strange things with it, as it always does.
I'm not really sure what it is about the moon, I just know it's true.
Years and years and years in talk radio, and I know that when the moon is full, like that, there is an edge to people.
Kind of an extra edge to people.
Sometimes good, sometimes bad, always wild.
So prepare thyself.
I would like to welcome K-N-S-T-A-M in Tucson, Arizona.
Guess what, Tucson?
You now get the entire program.
From 10 at night to, let me see, 3 in the morning.
Every day.
Sunday through Friday.
That's K-N-S-T-A-M 790 Radio in Tucson, Arizona.
So there you have it.
790.
Interesting frequency.
Also the same frequency as KABC in Los Angeles.
So if there is kind of a weird little area where 790 is not here nor there, the two signals might mesh and it would make a nice little corridor of continuity.
I like that.
I just made that up.
Corridor of continuity.
Anyway, welcome KNST.
In Tucson.
Now, I just found out there is a new Art Bell chat club opening in London.
England?
You must have a lot of listeners over there to get a chat club in London already.
Cool.
That reminds me to give out my international number.
You can call London, or Sydney, or anywhere else in the world, toll free.
We actually have The first, perhaps now not the only, but I know the first real, true, toll-free international line.
So wherever you are in the world, we would love to hear you.
And the number is... Ta-da!
Well, actually, you've got to get a hold of the AT&T operator.
Call and get the AT&T operator and ask her for 800-893-0903.
Once again, internationally, 800-893-0903 and we pay for the call.
The End.
Now, why should you go visit my website tonight?
Let me give you a few reasons.
One, we have a photograph of Area 51 that is diverse and may be good enough to get us in trouble.
I received this anonymously.
There have been various photographs of Area 51.
None I'm aware of this good.
I can't tell you when it was taken and I won't tell you who took it.
But I will tell you that it is up on my website right now or until they take it down.
So, there you have it.
I think it was legally taken.
Um, I don't think we're giving away any national security secrets, but indeed it does show in some detail an area the government continues to claim does not exist.
So, send me a computer photograph, and what I did was scan and slightly improve a computer photograph, and that person wishes to remain anonymous.
And so I will respect those wishes.
Even one minute, Black Tom.
Anyway, I put it up on the website.
What the hell?
You only live once, right?
Actually, I've got a whole series of photographs.
This was the one I liked best.
And so I scanned it and put it up there for you.
As you know, my book, The Art of Talk, has gone into bookstores nationally.
And there was a really cool ad that ran Publishers Weekly.
And so I scanned a portion of that, put that up there on the website.
You can see that.
Then there is the Rogue Market.
I want to enlist everybody's help out there.
The Rogue Market is really cool.
I became aware of the Rogue Market about, I think, three weeks ago.
And it allows you to go up there.
You'll see it right near the top, second or third item down in the new section.
Just click on it, you go over to the Rogue Market, you fill out a form, and you are given $10,000 or $15,000, not real money, Rogue Market money.
And then you can invest that money in all kinds of things, people, personalities of all sorts.
And I found out about three weeks ago, and somebody sent me a fax, that I was one of the personalities that you can invest in.
Along with Rush and Dr. Laura.
You know, all the major, I guess, current national talk show hosts.
So, I thought I would urge everybody to go invest, buy some stock.
Now, obviously, the faster you go over there and buy stock, the better off you are, because there are going to be a bunch of people going over there.
So, if you buy stock at, say, $126, you buy some Art Bell stock at $126, And you get in there before the next guy.
Then when the next guy buys, the price of the stock goes up and you make money.
Not real money, rogue market money, but it's cool and it's fun.
And so when you go to my website, be sure and do that as soon as you can, as a matter of fact.
I'm trying now, already, I think we already passed Rush and Dr. Laura some time ago, Now we're shooting for Imus and Howard Stern, who still lead the pack, and I have a feeling they've been sending their audiences up there, too, when you look at the numbers.
So I thought I would marshal my forces, that would be all of you, to go up and do some trading on the Rogue Market.
Buy some Art Bell stock, or anybody's stock, really.
Actually, I'd like to have you buy mine.
Because I intend to catch up and eventually pass all of them.
I'm so competitive.
I want to give you an idea of what my schedule is.
And I will do that in Alaska in a moment.
The UPS strike is over.
That's it.
CNN has had it as breaking news for quite a while now.
Alexis Herman and the president putting some Pressure on by saying, you know, they're this close right now.
And I'm very glad to see it.
And I hope I put some pressure on, too.
How much damage has UPS by this strike will not be known for a while.
But I suspect they're going to get back to work very quickly.
What was announced tonight was a tentative settlement.
The details are not going to be known right away.
But UPS is going back to work.
Yay.
Because there are a lot of small businesses all across America that were threatened to have the strike going on.
I think the union would have been threatened and UPS would have been threatened.
And so I would like to thank all sides involved, including Alexis Herman, who batted their heads together until they got the job done.
So I'm very, very glad the UPS strike is over.
The mere Space Station.
More trouble.
The Mirror Space Station, for a period of time, hours, was spinning chaotically in orbit.
About ten minutes prior to docking of a replenishment ship, the main computer went... The commander of the space station, Said, I'll bring it in, and he brought it in and docked the resupply ship himself.
Unfortunately, the main computer was reported out after they went, yay!
In Moscow, or wherever they control Mir.
And then they determined the main computer had gone out.
The whole thing began tumbling, as it has done many times before.
The damage is more significant than they thought.
The spacewalk to repair Uh, the Alexa and Get More Power Indomir has been put off now two or three days because of the computer problem.
And so it goes on, on, on, and on, and on.
And I think pretty soon they ought to decide enough is enough.
And I don't know how much science is being done up there.
Mostly what they do is huddle in the dark and worry about whether they should be jumping into the escape module.
I think Mir has just about lived its useful life, and I don't know why we're intent on having Americans up there.
I think it's dangerous.
In New York City, truly something horrible has occurred.
I'm sure you've heard about it, seen it.
Two more New York City police officers have been arrested to face charges in the arresting.
Police Commissioner Howard Uh, Sephir, I believe it is, said the two officers arrested today are being held for allegedly assaulting Haitian immigrant Abner Luisma before he was taken to the police precinct house.
They were, uh, the officers actually have been charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon, the police radios they allegedly used beat him, and more, sexually assaulted with a bathroom plunger.
The whole thing is nuts.
Absolutely nuts.
Meat Troubles, U.S.
Agriculture Department, sending in a big team, a SWAT team they called it, to a Nebraska plant, meat plant, looking for cause of the recall of five million, that's five million, hamburger patties.
Everybody worried about E. Coli.
What is a U.S.
Agricultural Department SWAT team anyway?
Sometimes I think of all these guys in vests with the alphabet stuff on the back of their jackets coming in with fly swatters and swatting flies.
It's not that, of course.
But a SWAT team, for me, Let me read you a little bit of an Associated Press story about Montserrat.
A British warship has pulled into port on this Caribbean island, it occurred Monday, to help carry away residents who want to escape the rumbling Hills Volcano.
In London, the British minister responsible for the colony said he couldn't rule out the possibility that a, quote, cataclysmic eruption Could literally engulf Montserrat, an island 250 miles southeast of Puerto Rico.
The consequences of such an event, should it occur, would be extreme, and anywhere on the whole island could be significantly threatened.
Citing a growing threat from the volcano in southern Montserrat, officials announced Saturday they were preparing for a voluntary evacuation of the island.
In other words, they're saying This island could literally blow up.
Boom!
That's it.
Monserrat could let go.
Not with a continuing and slow eruption, but a literal explosion that could probably affect the weather worldwide.
And the last place you would want to be if that occurred would be on the island of Monserrat.
Now I wonder how the people in the Virgin Islands, and of course I'm on the air there, And surrounding islands, Puerto Rico, were going to be on the air there soon.
Feel about this, because if that kind of an explosion should really occur, they would, of course, be immediately, I would think, if the wind is right, covered in ash, and there would be fallout all over the place.
So Monterant may be getting ready to let go.
They don't pull British warships in for evacuation unless they really think something's about to let go.
So any comments from the Virgin Islands would be welcome.
I am going to have a man on at midnight tonight that I think you're going to find very interesting.
He sent me some email and he lives in a little place called Berea, B-E-R-E-A, Kentucky.
And this man, just a guy, Knows about feral humans.
Feral humans!
And while he does not discount reports of Bigfoot, he thinks that a number of those reports could be because of feral humans.
Do you have any idea what we're talking about when we talk, when we say feral human?
Like my cat.
A feral cat.
A cat that never saw a human being until it met me.
In this case, a human being who has never seen another human being.
These people do exist.
In the mountains.
In that area where this man lives.
They exist.
He knows.
He's seen one.
And unless you have ever dealt with a wild animal, And a wild human would be no different.
You can't imagine what an interesting, tedious, difficult, loving, hard job it is to, well, I don't know if you'd apply the word human being, but to tame them.
It is still going on.
It is an ongoing thing with my feral cat.
I'll tell that whole story one of these days, maybe even later tonight, and update you on my... So I know what feral means.
In this case, he's talking about feral human beings.
There was a movie done about a feral human being called Nell.
Jodie Foster did it.
Oh, I sure would like to do an interview with Jodie Foster.
Are you listening, Jodie?
At any rate, let me quickly give you my schedule.
I know this much.
I'm going to be in Juneau, Alaska.
Tuesday, August 26th.
Juneau, Alaska.
Tuesday, August 26th.
In Skagway.
Wednesday, the 27th.
Skagway.
Wednesday, the 27th.
I will be in Seward, Alaska.
By 9 o'clock in the morning, I think.
August 30th.
And then in Anchorage, Alaska.
At about 12.30 or so in the afternoon.
On August 30th.
And I will do an interview on KENI.
I'm going to go down to the KENI studios.
And do an interview.
And I'm looking forward to seeing Anchorage.
It's a long, long, too long a time.
And I'm very much looking forward to seeing it.
So my wife and I will be in those places, and I'll try and repeat that here toward the end of the week.
All kinds of stuff for you this morning, including Darwin Award candidates, new Darwin Award candidates.
I want to find out about an Oregon potato blight.
There's something very serious going on up in Oregon, I do believe, with regard to the potatoes.
Of course, that's a serious crop up there.
So there's a blight.
Anyway, we're going to take a break here at the bottom of the hour.
We'll be right back.
Open lines coming up next.
I'm Art Bell.
Her hair is hollow gold.
Her lips sweet and proud.
Her hands are never cold.
She's got Betty Davis eyes.
She's kind of music on.
This is CBC.
You've got bad ideas inside.
Art Bell is taking calls on the wild card line.
That's 702-727-1295.
First-time callers can reach our bell at 702-727-1222.
702-727-1292.
Now, here again, Art Bell.
Once again, here I am.
All right, I got a fax from somebody saying KNST made an announcement that they're having some technical difficulties.
First day hitches are not unusual.
Bear with them.
I'm sure they'll get it straightened out.
Even though we may not be there yet, or we might just be getting there, rest assured, we're coming to Tucson.
Actually moving in Tucson to a full timer.
That is 10 o'clock at night to 3 o'clock in the morning on KNST 790.
It will happen.
This is such a wild piece of music, isn't it?
You can get it in a few places, but not too many just yet.
Not just yet, but it's coming.
A Purimac 3.
It's Cusco and it is incredible.
I'll tell you this this stuff absolutely gets in your blood It's returned to Native America, a Purimac 3 actually, and it completes the trilogy from Cusco.
Hey Art, I was just looking at the latest photo of Area 51 on your website, and I noticed something interesting in it.
If you've seen this and addressed it on your show, I apologize for not knowing anyway, If you look at the right side of the photo, about halfway down, you'll see an object either on the mountainside or flying above the base.
It appears to have a rounded top with a flat bottom.
If in fact this object is flying above the base, could it be one reason the photo was taken?
You know, I do see the object in question.
I've got the photo in front of me.
And it is one of two things It is this person imagines or it is a water tower and I Can't quite make out which but indeed this faxer is correct.
there is an object there that appears to be suspended above the others, but I'm not sure
enough to say what it is.
Interesting.
Thank you very much.
That photo on the website now, Area 51.
All right, we are about to enter the realm of unscreened, open line, talk radio.
Anything can happen, good or bad, so get ready.
First let me talk to you about Valdada Manu.
What I've got to do is take their commercial and kind of throw it away, because it just
doesn't impart what really needs to be imparted to you.
They sell two things.
They sell the best military-grade binoculars that ought to cost at least a thousand dollars.
I mean, there is no question about it.
These are military-spec binoculars.
They are the best optics I have ever seen in my entire life.
They have multi-layered, multi-coated, anti-reflex treated lenses, glass manufactured, you know, optics.
By the Shot Company.
The world famous Shot Company in Germany.
BAK4.
Oversized Pearl Prism Block design.
Whatever all that means.
What it means, to me, is... As a matter of fact, these binoculars go on every cruise with me, of course.
Nitrogen filled, so you don't get any fogging.
I mean, these are just so spectacular.
You will know when you hold them in your hot little palm.
That you have the best there is.
I have never seen optics this good in my whole life, and when I saw them, I called, I chased this company down and got them as a sponsor.
I said, you've got to sell these.
Now, they also have a rifle scope of equal quality, which can be used for hunting or, their word, tactical.
Uh, you know, I would imagine that, uh, police departments and that sort of thing would be interested in something of this, uh, quality.
So, I suggest, and by the way, what should be $1,000 begins at $349.
1-800-569-6268.
Trust me on this.
Heh heh heh.
Trust me on this.
$149 on eight hundred five six nine Six two six eight trust me on this
Trust me on this everybody I've shown them to us and bought them. That's one eight hundred five
It's really cool to be able to offer quality.
3, the Sea Crane Company.
Alright.
Here we go.
East of the Rockies, you are on the air.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Hi.
Hi, uh... Good guess.
I'm the only one here.
Oh, good.
So when I answer the phone, that means it's me.
Oh, okay.
Good.
I just want to ask you if you can give us Mr. Fidget and the fidgets you've got.
Well, I wouldn't know what kind of update to give you.
I've got fidgets.
I use them.
Mr. Fidget is out there probably dialing his fingers raw trying to get in.
I have no idea of what kind of, what are you expecting in terms of an update?
Have you tried those fidgets yet?
Of course I've tried.
Okay, did it work?
It depends on what you mean by work.
Well, you've mentioned on the radio that the Fidget can, um, if you like, time travel.
There are people who say they have traveled in time.
Mr. Fidget, if you listen to him, said that he doesn't believe that that is possible.
Oh, he doesn't?
He doesn't.
Oh, really?
Uh-huh.
Um, well, um, Do you believe that the other night that he got into the phone line?
I considered his getting in to be almost impossible, actually.
The odds of it, I mean, thank you, if you really sit down and think about what he did and how he did it.
Yeah, almost impossible.
The odds of his being able to get through it well like that are just about nil.
I mean, really, when you consider how many million people are out there and dialing.
Probably not dialing.
I would say hundreds of thousands are dialing.
So, what are the odds of one guy getting through?
Not very good at any given instant.
That's for sure.
So, there you are.
First time caller on the line, you're on the air.
Good morning.
Hello, Art.
This is Paul calling from Berkeley.
Hey, Paul.
I'm really excited to get in on the phone.
I want to talk about two things.
Okay.
I want to talk about Free Radio Berkeley.
Okay.
And I want to talk about Millennialism.
All right.
Free Radio Berkeley is a pirate radio station.
I know.
It's been on and off the air over the years.
Is it on now?
Yes, it has been going continuously since February of 1995 and has encountered little interference from the FCC.
Right.
Um, well actually I think they won some sort of court battle and then it was going back to court and I don't know where it is.
It's so tied up in legalities now that they'll probably be on the air forever.
Uh, well, we may, very well may have a 30 year run.
I'm speaking we as one of the volunteers.
Anyway, Judge Claudia Wilkins said that when she had made it, she would hand it down and we are still waiting.
Okay, so it's still, that's what I said, it'll be legally hung up forever.
And even if she hands it down, you know, there's going to be, they'll figure out another way to come at you.
You know they will.
I mean, it's going to be a war forever.
Oh, certainly.
For instance, the city of Berkeley has told the people at the station that we need a use permit.
To operate a radio station in Berkeley.
Well, why don't you go and try to get one?
Well, you know, Al Capone got sent to jail on tax evasion charges.
That's right.
So it's kind of an end-around move, I think.
But anyway, we're alive and well and still kicking it here in Berkeley.
Yep.
When did you see Mr. Dunne first?
Tell him I said hi.
Okay, yeah, I just saw him today.
He's doing well.
Okay.
Just as an aside, I really enjoyed the The fidget guy.
Yeah, that was unusual radio.
I mean, that's what I like doing.
If I wanted to sit here and do what everybody else did, I could do that.
I don't.
Too boring.
Yeah, he really has some non-stop patter that is pretty incredible.
Yeah.
Okay, so getting on to my other point, which is millennialism.
Yes.
Now, there's a lot of people who might think that the sky is falling.
Well, maybe it will.
Yeah, it could.
I mean, have you considered that possibility?
Well, I know there is millennial madness out there, but there are indications going on all over the place, everywhere you care to look, that things are coming to some sort of crescendo.
That may not be true.
I think it is.
Well, I think it's a matter of perception.
For instance, if we all believed Harold Camping from Family Radio in Oakland, we would have believed that the world would have ended 11 months ago, back in September 96.
But as we all know, it did not end.
Are you sure?
I'm sure we're still alive here, Art.
Yeah, it looks that way, but you know, maybe not.
Maybe we're all dead and we're just acting out some sort of strange echo of what was our life.
Consider this, okay?
Back in the year 999, there was a lot of apprehension and fear about the coming of the year 1000.
No, it's absolutely true.
It's absolutely true.
And nothing happened in 999.
However.
However.
Okay.
I really urge a chance to read my book, The Quickening, because the center contention, the reason I wrote that book is because everybody said, look, it's a matter of mass communication.
There's more going on now.
We hear about it quickly, if not instantly, when tragedies occur.
And so that explains what you, Art, call the quickening.
So I wrote the book.
In order to prove that that was incorrect, that there really is a quickening going on, and there is.
So, read the book, and then call me back, and we'll have a discussion about that.
About whether it's real, or whether it's just some sort of millennial madness.
Alright, Art, if I could say one more thing.
There was a lot of fear and apprehension about the Hale-Bopp comet, and the A companion object that was supposedly flying along with Hale-Bopp?
Yes.
Which all turned out to be a bunch of bull.
How do you know?
Because it was revealed that there was no companion object and that it was a docked up image.
I proved that.
I proved it.
Thank you very much.
Listen on the air.
How do you know where those people are right now?
Those 39 who took their lives.
How do you know where they are?
The answer is, you don't.
If you read their suicide note, it clearly stated in it that whether or not a Comet Hale-Bopp had a companion was irrelevant.
And I'm surely not suggesting to you Uh, that what they did was a good, proper thing.
But, you know, I'm pretty much of a libertarian.
I have very strong, strong feelings against suicide.
Very strong.
But that's my personal conviction.
And I would not endeavor, through law or any other means, to do that on you.
So, I'm not so sure that I know where they are.
Are you?
And while we're on the subject, I have been contacted.
Let's see, how can I put this to you in a general sense?
I have been contacted.
As you know, I never had a thing to do with the Heaven's Gate people.
The first I knew of those people is the day that the news began these suicides.
But there are more Heaven's Gate people out there than you are aware of.
I have been contacted by a representative of some of those Heaven's Gate people that remain out there.
I will be talking to these people in the next few days and we may do an interview.
I thought I'd sort of let that one slip.
No guarantees.
It's not a done deal.
We're going to do a pre-interview and see what happens.
But these are people you don't know about.
As a matter of fact, people I didn't know about until just recently.
We'll see.
Easter Mockeys, you're on the air.
Hi.
Good morning, Art.
Good morning.
Calling from Altoona, Pennsylvania.
Altoona?
Okay, get into that phone and yell at us.
Oh, okay.
I can't yell too loud.
Everybody else is in bed.
I understand.
It's getting late in Altoona.
Yeah, it was getting late everywhere.
But, um...
First of all, I don't, as far as the Heaven's Gate, I know some people blamed, you were interviewed after that, right?
Endlessly.
There was a big, I mean, you were basically almost blamed for that, and I thought that was pretty bad.
I mean, you know, I don't think you're responsible for that.
Well, the press always needs somebody, they need to peg everything, and as far as the press was concerned, the angle on Heaven's Gate was the supposed UFO that was behind it.
And once they heard that, they came after me.
Once they read the suicide note, they went away.
So, you know, they tried.
I mean, the press always tries to do that, the national press.
They want to put the blame somewhere.
Make a story.
May I ask you, how long have you been interested in, what is it, in UFOs, per se?
How long have you had an interest in that?
Well, I had a mild interest about four and a half, five years ago.
When I saw one close up and for real.
And then I began to get an intense interest.
And anybody who has a very, very close sighting like that, who does not become very interested, is brain dead.
So you actually saw one?
Oh, yes.
Well, get your show Dreamland on our local affiliate here.
We get it on our local station, but we don't get your overnight show.
I've got to listen a long distance for that.
Well, call them up.
Now, be nice.
When you call, be nice and just simply suggest that you have the regular weeknight show.
Well, see, the thing is they sign off.
They're the only station in town that signs off.
Well, then, in that case, save your phone call.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
You have a good night.
Take care.
And if you listen carefully long distance, you will find us on the dial somewhere.
What you need is a good radio and, most of all, good antenna.
Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
Good morning.
Hi, Art.
It's Dana in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Hey, Dana.
Hi.
A couple of quick things.
I finally got your book, The Quickening.
Well, good for you.
And I'm really enjoying that.
And for those of us who listen to your program, I mean, we've heard enough about it.
It's hair-raising either way.
Well, I feel sorry for the people that get the book that have never heard of this.
It's going to scare the pants off of people.
I know.
But it's a really good book.
You did a great job.
Well, it's documented, Dana.
Yes, it is.
That was the whole idea.
Yeah, you did a great job.
I haven't finished it yet, but what I've read, you did a really good job writing the book.
Thank you.
I'm really enjoying it.
Another thing, I have a question.
Are you going to have Ed Dames on anytime soon?
Yes.
I'm dying to hear what he has to say about the Phoenix Lights.
Me too.
As a matter of fact, I know Ed sits out there and listens.
Ed, make the lights happen over Burrumpa.
There you go.
He sent me a fax saying he could make the lights happen.
I know, I heard that.
And that's why I was wondering when he was going to be on me.
Either, you know, make them happen or come on your show and tell us how it happened.
Well, it would be particularly dramatic if he could cause it to occur over my little valley.
Then I think I'd be tempted to call him immediately, actually.
There you go.
Come on, Ed.
I know you got to be out there listening.
He is.
Yeah.
Well, you have a good night.
All right.
You too.
Take care.
I will be on the air the remainder of this week.
I will be doing Dreamland this coming Sunday.
Matter of fact, I wonder who I've got on.
Let me see if I can find that.
It's up on the website, so you guys might know before I get to it here.
Well, I guess I'm going to have to look harder.
Whenever I want to find something, I can't... Oh, here we go.
All right, coming up... This week is going to be Dr. Dean Ruddin, author of The Conscious Universe.
Ooh!
The Scientific Truth of Psychic Phenomena.
Ooh!
That sounds good.
Anyway, I'll do Dreamland, then I will be here Monday night, Tuesday morning, Um, as well, and then off I go.
So, there you are.
First time on our line, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hey, Art.
Hey, yes.
How's it going?
It's going.
Um, I was just kind of curious, um, about the mirror.
I know last night, uh, in the Eastern Washington, we were able to see it, uh, off the surface.
And my older brother called me up, and he said that he's seen the cargo, or the supply ship, behind the mirror.
He's looking through, like, a 20 by 80 lens.
Are you the guy who sent me the email?
I sure am.
Oh, okay.
And then, uh, he saw an object, uh, really speed by.
Right.
And I was, I was curious if anybody else seen the same thing.
Um... Well, we just did.
Oh, I'm sorry.
That's what you just did when you said that.
Okay, well, I'll, I'll, I'll stay tuned, okay?
Um, alright, very good.
Uh, what this man said was that he saw the mirror And he saw the cargo ship, which was close by it, and was able to distinguish, and I would imagine that would be possible, between the two.
But then he saw an object go speeding by at an incredible rate of speed.
Now, it's reasonable for one to ask oneself, what do you think happened to the main computer on the mirror?
What could have happened to that main computer?
To completely crash it?
Well, I'll tell you one thing that crashes computers.
Electromagnetic pulses crash computers.
Oh, they do a real job on computers.
And something happened to that computer.
All at once.
The cosmonauts didn't do it.
Ground Control didn't do what they assure us.
Whatever happened to that computer, the computer, they say, did it to itself.
Now, I wonder what that could be.
Do you suppose something streaking by mirror could have sent out a pulse and hit that computer?
Ha ha ha!
Ah well, one can but wonder.
