Steve Gibbs, a Nebraska-based "time machine inventor," claims his hand-built devices—sold since 1986—use electromagnets, tachyon sine waves, and grid points (magnetic anomalies) to physically travel, with over 300 sold despite skepticism. Users report white-light flashes, parallel universe access, or visions like Augie Nust’s 1999 volcanic eruption, though Gibbs warns Las Vegas grids may send travelers to a "hell region." Government officials allegedly vanished after attempting confiscation, and an Australian user disappeared mid-test, leaving letters postmarked the same day. Gibbs insists his $360 machines repel future diseases but cap travel at nine hours unless users alter their timeline, with rejuvenation possible in parallel universes. Despite Art Bell’s credibility doubts—ranging from 1955 to "reasonable"—Gibbs’ claims persist, blending fringe science, biblical references ("fallen angels"), and unproven tech, raising questions about whether time travel is a hoax or a harbinger of deeper mysteries.

And hey, this is the kickoff night, everybody, for our guest credibility poll.
As suggested by a caller last week, we should have a guest credibility poll on the website.
Well, we've got it.
You can only vote once.
It'll throw your computer a cookie.
That's a little thing that ensures that you only vote once.
But aside from that, you can go up to my website, and this is going to be a great night for it, too.
We've got Stephen Gibbs on, who makes time machines.
And it's not a fly-by-night business by any means.
He's been making them for years.
I interviewed him, I don't know who was it, must have been a year ago, more, maybe.
And now I've got another reason to interview him.
Somebody called last week and said he got his time machine, and he discussed its use.
Earlier today, I heard from a fellow who has used Stephen Gibbs' time machine with success, he claims.
And so Stephen is going to be a wonderful first-use kind of guest for our credibility plus.
Should be fun.
Now, I ask that you not judge Stephen on his vocabulary.
Stephen's a farm boy from Nebraska.
He'll tell you that himself here in a minute.
In fact, we'll ask him about his background.
But rather, judge him on what he says about his machine, its workings, and all the rest of it.
As you know, I am fascinated beyond belief with time travel.
I believe time travel is possible.
And I believe that based on guests that I've had that are obviously of very high credibility rating, like Michio Kaku, theoretical professor of physics, one of the best in the country.
And he certainly thinks it's going to be possible.
Going to take a lot of power, though, he says.
So in a moment, we enter the realm of the very unusual.
Like we don't always do that anyway, huh?
All right, look, tonight is a sale night.
Once a year, one time every year, the Z-Crane company has a $1 off sale on the American.
The Select Attendant was actually developed originally by the U.S. military as a direction finder.
And I guess one day somebody said, oh, my God, look what it does for broadcast radio.
Anyway, it's round, about the size of a frisbee or something.
Thicker, obviously.
And probably by 200 or 300% more.
At night, it will stop 90% of the fading, you know, fading in and out of long-distance stations you're trying to listen to.
During the day, it will increase coverage out to about 150 miles for the Big 50 KW kaboomers.
I'll tell you how good the Selectatenna is.
Here during the day, I can barely, barely hear Los Angeles on the radio.
Just barely tell it's there down in the static.
And you put a Selectatenna next to the radio, tune it to the frequency that you're listening to, and it pops out of the noise and becomes utterly and completely listenable.
Now, that's how much difference there is.
And if you doubt about it, it's static.
It's absolutely amazing.
Once a year, no wires, no batteries, none of that bloating.
It inductively couples the signal to your radio.
It normally sells today, or I don't know, depending on your time zone, whatever, in the morning.
It's, you know, I'm building and selling these machines, and then I kind of help my mother out around the farm, you know, when I'm not busy doing that.
Of some interest, a farm boy, born, raised, adopted, I guess, and then raised on a farm, chickens, cows, the whole thing, suddenly claims to be able to build a time machine.
Now, how do you get from the cows and the chickens to a time machine?
Some people, I don't know what it is, But some people get better results when the switch is in the off mode than in the on mode.
Now, there is really an erratic breakup in the wave when it's in the off mode.
But when you have an oscilloscope hooked up to the machine and the multidimensional stabilizer is activated, it produces a number of dips in the sine wave itself, and each dip represents a harmonic.
Okay, first of all, we place the time coils around our head, which would be basically a set of phone cords, which is designed to feed the third eye or the spiritual energy through the third eye region into the unit.
Okay, after these time coils are positioned around your forehead over the third eye region, you then start operating, well you then start turning the top dial while stoking the rubbing plate in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation using your first yeah the rubbing plate is the second half of the machine down below the dials and the switches.
So in other words, you're concentrating on when you want to go, and you're rubbing, and you're turning the dial, and when your finger stops, you know you've reached the right place.
And once you get that stick, the energy from your soul is fed right through the third eye region on into the unit where it's stepped up to the zero vector.
Top of the morning to you, morning now and most time zones.
My guest is the wild man of the prairie, Stephen Gibbs.
He produces, he makes, constructs time machines.
No kidding, folks.
I really mean no kidding.
And we'll get the rest of the description of the machine's operation here in a moment.
I'm telling you about an amazing new product that continues to blow me away by the day and the industry, I might add, the Snappy Video Snapshot from Play Incorporated.
What it does is take moving video and converts it to a still photograph, a computer photograph of any format you can imagine or you could ever possibly want.
And this video can come from a camcorder, a TV, or a VCR.
Now, normally you would expect, well, you have to put a card in the computer or something.
Ah, but not with Snappy.
They were very wise the way they built it.
They built it so it plugs right into the parallel port of your computer.
Because most people don't want to take their computer apart.
And so you don't have to.
It plugs in where your printer plugs in.
Snappy has won 25 major awards so far for what they do.
Nothing wins those kinds of awards.
Nothing has a longevity in the computer industry that Snappy has had and will continue to have because it is so stunning.
New Media Magazine said Snappy quote compares to a $20,000 digital camera.
Snappy is incredible.
You've got to see it to believe it.
It is the perfect gift for anybody with a PC or yourself if you have one.
If you'd like to see them on the web before you buy, they're at www.playplay.com or simply go to your favorite computer store and grab a snappy at the advertised price, which, by the way, should only be $99.
Well, that's a lot of technology for $99.

All right, once again, Stephen Gibbs, wild man from the prairie.
All right, let's see.
Where were we?
Time coils wrapped around.
We've rubbed the rubbing plate in one direction or the other, set the dials.
And then there are a couple of bar magnets that come with the unit.
Now this is something that is not included in my catalog, but and these bar magnets are to help to determine the polarities on the open end of the electromagnet so that you only receive the north polarized field of it.
Actually, you know, Steven, I just happened to think that you could factory set this by color coding, determining which is north before you send this out and simply color coding the two plugs.
Yeah, I I do, but uh it always seems like uh yeah, I I yeah, I know what you're talking about, but it's uh easier for me if I just put one color, one plug red and the other one black, and then if they don't do the trick, then they can always reverse the connection.
Sometimes you'll just be seen flickering out and then you'll come right back.
So in other words, that person, to the observer, that person will look like, you know, you've only gone for maybe a split second, but the person who went through time may have been gone for like a day or two.
They didn't think she had been gone at all in tact.
They had video of her vehicle falling through that machine directly with not even a pause in the middle, and yet she was gone for, I think it was 18 hours.
And the best thing we can do, now I know that you could talk about other types of travel, but the best thing we can do is talk about incidents of actual physical time travel.
And I was talking with another person, you know, if he had set up some sort of a vortex or doorway when they went over to investigate the matter, they might have got transported themselves.
Well, I was wondering if it might be possible that this fellow in Australia left the machine running and these other poor saps walked in and away they went.
Now, also, earlier today on the phone, you told me that some kind of officials, FBI, NSA, CIA, I don't know who they were, recently came to see you trying to catch you for fraud.
Well, after they started examining it for a while, they gave me a call, and he had a scientist who was really very much interested in experimenting with the device, or he knew a scientist.
And I warned him over the telephone, you know, don't activate it over in Los Angeles, otherwise you're going to go poof.
But, you know, I was kind of toying with him a little bit, because I figured if these people were going to get me for fraud, you know, what better way than to send them off to another time period?
And so they got what was coming to them.
And not only that, but they strangely disappeared right into thin air shortly after I told them not to mess with it, you know, giving them the apple, you know.
Because I had a friend of mine over in Omaha try to contact them, and she knew some friends over in Los Angeles, and they said they can't locate them anywhere.
And so we kind of figured they went out to a grid site, and they went.
Oh, I was basically advertising through different sources.
There was a company up in Idaho that was distributing, well, he's still distributing my information.
I don't want to say who it is for certain, as that could also get me into trouble.
And he was saying to me one day, you know, you know, it'd be a great idea if you'd start your own business in this area by putting ads in different magazines.
And so I started things up and it finally took off.
Do you know that when you have a device that you plug directly into the wall, that you don't use a little step-down transformer, you've got to have a UL approval?
And you get a little sticker there on the back that says UL approved, or it's on the cord.
A lot of times when you buy something, your device is not necessarily UL approved then.
Stephen is out in prairie lands of Nebraska, and he's a farm boy.
But long ago, somebody gave him plans for a time machine.
And by the way, I had no idea.
Stephen has a website.
I've just got a fact from his webmaster.
I had no idea that he had a website.
It is http: forward slash forward slash home in reach.
That's I-N-R-E-A-C-H dot com forward slash D as in dog, O as in ocean, V as in Victor, forward slash TT dot H T M. And according to his webmaster, his catalog is on his website along with the same diagram that I've got up on my website.
Now, I had no idea Stephen had a website.
We'll get back to Stephen and all of this in just a moment.
Let me first tell you about people who have money.
If you have money and you're going to invest, you have risk capital, then you do stand the chance of making big money in the global economy.
Listen to me closely.
The foreign exchange marketplace is actually 60 times the volume of the New York Stock Exchange.
And unique financial concepts can show you how to take advantage of changes in the value of the U.S. dollar versus all foreign currencies Such as the German mark, Swiss franc, British pound, and Japanese yen.
For example, the U.S. dollar versus the Japanese yen.
In a recent one-month period, the yen moved 10 points.
Positioned properly, you could have made more than $35,000 on an investment of only five.
You can get the complete reports and strategies.
Learn how you can invest in the very same currency markets that major banks and financial institutions use to make their gazillions of dollars.
Call 1-800-934-1188.
The information package and the call are free.
That's 1-800-934-1188.
Of course, risk, as I said, is involved, and you could lose part or all of your initial investment.
Only risk capital should be used.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
And that's true in so many aspects of life.
I just got an email from Sarah.
Actually, it's a fact.
I always get this from a facts.
From Bill in Santa Clara, California.
Dear Art, kudos to you for advertising absolutely fresh flowers.
I sent their flowers to my mom on Valentine's Day.
I spoke to her this morning, and they are still there.
Of course, they are now dwindling in number, but hey, it's been 24 days.
You'll never get that from a florist.
Absolutely fresh flowers will get my business again, and you can say that on the air.
Thanks to you and your show.
David Kate Listener, Bill.
Santa Claire, listening on Kiesfo.
Thank you, Bill.
They send out more flowers for the dollar than anybody in the world.
They come in a large triangular box delivered by FedEx as part of the price.
Inside, along with this gigantic shipment of flowers, there is a card from you handwritten with your message of love and caring, whatever you want to say.
Happy birthday, happy anniversary, whatever.
And then your name at the bottom, handwritten, very personal.
Now, the delivery is fast, hence the name Absolutely Fresh Flowers.
In other words, you call today during the week and boom.
They deliver tomorrow anywhere in the contiguous USA.
$47.95.
The number to call, 1-800-562-6438.
That's 1-800-562-6438.
Absolutely fresh flowers.
Now, I have become aware of a man who has, well, I guess he bought one of Stephen Gibbs time machines.
And so I thought it might be interesting to hear from this person.
Now, you may recall the other day, we got a call on the air from somebody who had just received his time machine, was about to use it, tentatively considering using it.
Now, I will tell you something about his machine.
You know, the principle actually is fairly sound, it seems to me.
You know, looking at this, even though it may seem silly, you know, a coil coming out of one side of the machine that you would wrap around your head, and a very powerful electromagnet that you would put at the center of your body, and then the dials and the rubbing plate and all the rest of it.
But actually, if you believe in hyperdimensions, that there are other dimensions, then indeed this might be a way to resonate that.
Who knows?
At any rate, here's a guy who bought one of Steven's machines, and I thought I'd bring him on the air.
I mean, it's so cool to have a time travel catalog.
Last time Stephen was on, you know, I'm not going to sit here and sell machines for Stephen, but I thought, you know, for the audience, just to have a time travel catalog sitting on their coffee table would be cool.
It's like a conversation piece or something.
And so I take it that you originally got that catalog and kind of looked at it the same way, but then filed it away.
And then, just as he talked about on the radio, you put the magnet basically in your belly button area and activated tremendous current through it, huh?
I would say keep the machine close by you because let's say for some reason that you do go somewhere physically, it would be nice to have this machine with you so you could plug it in wherever you're at.
What I suggest to a lot of people who buy units from me that, you know, in order because a lot of these grid points are far away from where a person lives at.
Well, yeah, what you get is a DC, a 12-volt DC or DC to AC inverter that converts 12-volt DC into 150-volt AC that plugs right into your cigarette lighter.
And that way, if you want to take your vehicle with you through time, you can just program that into the unit and off you go.
And now, if there are some people, you know, I wanted to state that if there are some people who order machines, that they would probably, the early ones who come in, the early orders that come in, I can probably have them processed before the end of this year, whereas the latecomers will probably have to wait until around the middle of 99 or towards the end of 99.
I keep hearing you're concerned about my happiness But all the time All that thought you'd given me is questions I guess.
If I was walking in your shoes, I wouldn't be worried now.
For you and your friends are worried about me and having lots of fun.
Gallop of flowers on the walls, that don't bother me at all.
Playing solitaire, you're done with the deck of 61.
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain.
Playing the room, now tell me.
I've nothing to do.
Last night I pressed in tails pretending I was on the ground.
To talk with Art Bell in the kingdom of.
Nigh, from east of the Rockies, dial 1-800-825-5033, 1-800-825-5033, west of the Rockies, including Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico, 1-800-618-8255.
Once again, here I am, and here's a brilliant idea.
I'll tell you, my wife suffers from time to time from asthma.
And when you suffer, those who suffer from asthma know, when you're in the middle of an attack, you can't lie down.
You have to sit up.
You have to be in a sitting position.
And so, you know, we usually end up bringing about a million pillows behind my wife if she even can get in bed so that she's sitting up.
Now, that brings to mind the fact that for somebody like her, an adjustable bed would be ideal.
Well, boy, do I have an adjustable bed for you.
The Truman bed buddy.
It does not get rid of your old bed.
It converts your old bed into an adjustable bed and at an amazingly low price, under $250.
All you do is place the bed buddy on top of your existing mattress, press a button, and voila, it electrically adjusts to an infinite number of positions for reading, watching TV, or perhaps listening to your favorite radio show.
But rather than just giving you my view on this great adjustable bed, I asked for a second opinion from my good friend Alan Corbeth, very good friend.
He's president of my network, been with me the whole time, and he loves it.
Alan says, quote, like a lot of other people, I spend many hours when I should be sleeping, listening to art.
And at the same time, I'm usually doing some paperwork.
The Bed Buddy is perfect for me.
It adjusts to just the right position to support my back.
And by the way, my wife loves it too for watching TV and reading.
Anybody can enjoy the comfort, convenience, and great value of the bed buddy adjustable bed priced at less than $250.
And now listen, right now, we're not even trying to sell you the bed.
We're just saying call and get the free brochure, and then you'll know when you look at it if it's what you want.
The call and the brochure are absolutely free.
So you can call them right now at 1-800-526-5000 right now.
And by the way, if you decide you want it, you can try the Truman Bed Buddy risk-free for 100 nights.
Now, there's a sponsor confident of their product.
The number is 1-800-526-1000, the Bed Buddy.
And I think it is absolutely spectacular idea for anybody who needs to get into a different position for whatever reason.
Are you having news but the pain?
All right, we are going to go to the top of the hour and then we are going to move away from the time travel subject because I am getting word that there is a downright, there's an emergency going on in the Midwest.
In the state of Indiana, in northern Illinois, and possibly other areas as well, I'm getting word that hundreds and maybe thousands of people are stranded.
That would be the storm that passed through my area a couple of days ago, now rearing its very, very strong El Nino head in the Midwest.
And I understand there is a sincere emergency going on.
So we're going to be looking into that here very shortly.
In the meantime, if you have questions for Stephen Gibbs, I'll come now.
And I just wanted to ask you, Mr. Gibbs, have you had anyone with time travel actually having problems of, especially if they physically go into the future, of having problems with diseases or any kind of viruses or at all that are not introduced at this point?
But see, the thing that people don't realize is the unit puts an extremely powerful tachyon field around you that repels any chance for coming down with any of these viruses.
And not only that, you probably wouldn't stay there long enough to contract some.
Now, I know somebody who was using a couple of caduceus wound Tesla coils that went to the year 2008, shortly after the New World Order is established, and found out that the Christians are disposed during that time period by means of flamethrowers.
The ones who don't accept the biochip, either in their right hand or in their forehead, from what I was told, are taken to an affirmatory in the year 2008 where they are literally burnt alive in front of several eyewitnesses.
Now, this is something that a scientist saw when he went physically to that year.
And he actually has a lot of documented evidence to back up that he has made this jump.
Now, I don't dare mention names because this could definitely get me into trouble.
But he was working for some government agency back in World War II from as close as I could tell.
But he likes to keep his whereabouts unknown because he's really not from this time period.
No, no, there's safety catches in it that prevents any overload.
It's like if you decide to activate it over in Imprompa in Las Vegas, the amount of energy put out by the field put out by the machine is so fantastically highly intense that it would short out all manner of darkness in that area, even if it was tuned to a hell region.
But no, I thought about, you know, that you might be going, that you might accidentally be tripped off into a negative dimension.
But the more I think about it, from my own experiences and what from other people have told me that even if you decide to activate it over a negative grid, the energy would short out the negative grid.
And so you probably wouldn't end up in a hell region.
You would probably just simply pass through the grid with one hell of a headache.
It's A fascinating program, and I rate him up very high, like 1999 now.
Stephen, I have a couple of questions.
One, I've studied Indian mysticism, and I know that from some of my studies that there are people who can time travel without machines, I guess, through other means.
But I have two questions.
One is in studying Nicola Tesla's inventions, and I actually had had my hand on one of the patents, which was called the Violet Flame Invention that he invented, which people are trying to figure that must have been for healing.
So I can conceive why this could and would work.
My two concerns would be, one, is there any problem of internal combustion if a person's physical health was to have a lot of gases in their body?
Or in the witness well, because it steps up the energy too damn much, and you can then overheat yourself, or you could easily, you know, what they refer to as, you know, burst into flames.
Now, believe me, after listening to your warnings, I will read the directions, but otherwise, I'd say, uh-huh, okay, this goes here, this goes here, turn it on, let's see what happens.
And with my luck, you know, somebody would drop a diamond or something in the witness well, and I'd go up like that.
Yeah, it would, yeah, you'd pop out wherever the, well, like if you went through a grid point in one location, then you'd pop out at that same grid point in the other time period.
unidentified
So unless you program it for by location.
If I went back to 1971, I would be 43 and I wouldn't necessarily be in Germany.
If I was somewhere else, could I travel to Germany and meet myself?
Well, yeah, there's a, I would say at the maximum, there's a nine-hour time limit that you stay in the other time period, then you just automatically fade back to the present.
Okay, okay, so it just sort of automatically brings you back?
Yeah, yeah.
Unless you start screwing around with your own space-time containing them, then you may get locked in another time period.
Okay, okay.
unidentified
But if you follow the instructions, it'll be all right.
Yeah, yeah, I'm about three or four hour drive from there.
The next time, maybe when I go up to visit my friend in Omaha, you know, should you happen to be, you know, if you could leave me a phone number or something.
Oh, that's a good place for us to end it, Stephen.
Listen, I'm going to give out your address.
Folks, you can get a time travel catalog, which I guarantee is great to have on your coffee table, even if you never get a machine, by writing to, sending $1 to Stephen Gibbs.
Well, there's Stephen Gibbs, folks, from Nebraska.
And when I get my machine, what would you recommend that I do after hearing all of this?
I've got a lot of thinking to do about that.
All right, look, I understand there is a very, very serious situation going on in the Midwest.
And I know there are people in trucks and cars out there stuck.
And what we're going to do when we come back is open a special line for people in the Midwest who are stuck in this hellish storm that I've been hearing about.
