Isyong Sam, a Nigerian claiming descent from the lost tribes of Israel (Calabarians and Edomites), asserts God—an 80-year-old black man named Olumba Baru—has been physically present since 1918, judging humanity after revealing himself to Vatican nuns. He warns of global Judgment Day in ~18 months (late 1999/early 2000), citing miracles and suppressed 1986 investigations by Nigerian/European officials. Art Bell, skeptical but intrigued, considers a December trip to Africa despite safety concerns, while callers debate literal vs. metaphorical interpretations of divine prophecies and question cloning Christ’s DNA from the Shroud of Turin. The episode blurs faith, conspiracy, and fringe claims, leaving listeners to ponder whether Sam’s warnings signal genuine revelation or mass deception. [Automatically generated summary]
From the high desert in the great American Southwest, I bid you all good evening, or good morning, as the case may be across this wide expanse of territory.
So many time zones.
The Hawaiian and Eastern Islands in the west, eastward to the Caribbean, the U.S. Virgin Islands, south into South America, north all the way to the Pole and worldwide on the old internet.
I bid you good day, everybody, and welcome to WHP Radio.
That's WHP in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
They're 580 on the top 5,000.
And so I imagine they're heard throughout that whole sort of area of Pennsylvania.
Big regional station.
As a matter of fact, I remember WHP when I lived back east, so I know they've got a big signal.
Glad to be on board.
This is a weird show.
It's going to take you time to understand it.
I still don't fully understand it myself.
Next hour, we are going to have...
I'll tell you.
I will tell you what I was told earlier today.
And I don't know any more than this.
We'll find out together.
The man's name is Isyong Sam.
He is a Nigerian.
As a matter of fact, he is from a lost Nigerian tribe.
But it goes a little further than that.
This man seems rational.
And his English is quite passable.
And what he has told me is that God is now alive on earth.
He told me that God is in this lost Nigerian tribe that he is from.
He told me that Israel has sent a delegation to this tribe and that nobody knows about this except for you tonight.
Now, I don't know anything more about this, I'm telling you, than that, but that's quite enough.
And so in the next hour, we'll talk to Yi Seong Sam and see what this is all about.
Now, before I go on and even start with what the news is and that kind of thing, there is a photograph that somebody just sent me just prior to airtime by email.
And I in no way, you've got to understand, in no way do I warranty this to be real, nor do I consider it to be fake.
It's when a few of you have seen it, and I'll open a line for those who have seen the photograph.
Because I'm telling you right now, it's either somebody's photographic fake, but it may not be.
And I guess I don't want to discuss the specifics of it until I get somebody here on the line who's seen it.
My God.
I mean, that's what you're going to say when you see this photograph.
You're going to go, my God.
So go to my website.
Trust me on this one.
And when you get there, just go click on the first item, the who, what, what, where, when thing.
It's a very, very disturbing, really disturbing picture.
That's all I can tell you.
All right, let's see.
What is in the standard everyday news?
U.S. Appeals Court refusing to block efforts to obtain the testimony of White House lawyer Bruce Lindsay.
Clinton administration's emergency request for an order to block the testimony sent right away to Chief Justice Rehnquist.
Rehnquist not expected to act tonight.
If the court agrees to hear the appeal when it returns to session in October, it could delay Independent Counsel Star from questioning Lindsay.
So that just continues to chug along.
I've got all kinds of rumors, they're running wild about the president, and I've got a number here that I just, I don't want to read you.
But I'll tell you this.
For those of you who listened last night and heard the repeat of Sean David Morton, I'm telling you, Sean Morton has hit more predictions on the head.
I got this email today.
All right.
The last time Sean David Morton was on Coast to Coast, the program in fact was repeated last night, he predicted that Clinton's ultimate fall from grace would begin on August 17th.
Now, guess when Clinton is scheduled to testify before the grand jury?
You guessed it.
August 17th.
Looks like Sean may have nailed it again.
that's gary in las vegas Thank you.
That's nailing it, all right.
Indeed, the president, it was just announced, is to testify before the grand jury August 17th.
That's what I would call a hit.
How about you?
U.S.-Iraq talks halt.
Disturbing.
State Department today blamed Iraq for the disturbing, in quotes, breakdown of talks with the U.N. over Baghdad's weapons.
G and I, I thought they had that all cleared up.
Everything has taken a, according to the chief inspector, a disappointing slide in recent days that Iraq might disclose fully its weapons program now.
They think they're cheating again.
No, those cheating Iraqis.
Speaking of Africa, military forces in the eastern Congo declared themselves in open rebellion today against the president there after Rwandan mercenaries clashed with soldiers loyal.
So anyway, fighting goes on.
I think, and I'm not sure yet, but I think that I'm going to Africa in October.
But I think I'm going to go to Cape Town in South Africa.
I wanted to.
I really did want to go into Zaire.
As a matter of fact, I really wanted to go to Nigeria.
But there's just too much war going on, and it's too damn dangerous.
And I'm sorry, so I may end up going to Cape Town, or maybe I won't go at all.
I don't know.
Another white buffalo has been born.
A white buffalo, a genetic rarity and powerful American Indian spiritual symbol, has been born in Hanover.
The female calf weighs about 40 pounds, appears to be healthy, and is not albino, according to the Jackson Citizen Patriot.
Scientists have no idea how a rare white buffalo is created and when, but estimates range from one in a million to one in 40 million.
The Lakotas consider the white buffalo to be good medicine.
And it means something.
And we have had now how many white buffalo in the last, I would say, two or three years?
A sign of something?
Now, brace yourself for what you're about to hear.
I read you the following from Fox News.
In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, a scientist dabbed among the unhollowed dumps of the grave to piece together his creature.
Now, surgeons in Louisville, Kentucky are embarking on an experiment that may seem morbid, very morbid, but which holds significant promise for restoring limb sensation movement and usefulness to amputees.
University of Louisville surgeons at Jewish Hospital estimate that in about six months they are going to perform, get this folks, the first hand plant attaching a hand taken from the body of a brain-dead donor, attaching it to the arm of an amputee.
The doctors are estimating at least a 50% chance that the new hand won't be rejected, repeat, will not be.
And they expect the patient to have nearly full movement in the new limb within four to five weeks after surgery.
Sensation would then develop in later months as nerves slowly regenerate.
They have narrowed their search for the first candidate from a pool of about 100 people down to 10 and hope to select a patient in the next two months.
Quote, an ideal candidate would be an adult who has lost both hands and who feels they can no longer proceed with their profession or take care of their family.
Although attaching a cadaver's hand to a living person may seem like a radical concept, doctors claim the actual surgery is not all that new.
According to a Dr. Warren, Breedback, I Think it is, who's going to lead the operation.
Nearly every part of the hand, arteries, bone, muscle, cartilage, nerves, and tendons, has been transplanted before.
The only difference is they're going to transplant an entire limb, can you imagine that?
We can now transplant most internal organs, and if we can transplant a hand, then we can transplant a leg or an arm or a knee or an ear.
In other words, it seems to me we're getting pretty close here to being able to do just about anything.
Remember Dr. Frankenstein?
The only thing undone is the brain, and I am told brain transplants are possible.
You recall Dr. White.
Dr. White on the program, he did a whole bunch of monkey brain transplants.
We're approaching a very interesting age, aren't we?
Once it was thought if you lost an arm or a finger or a foot or a leg, it was gone.
Now, you might be able to live on with somebody else's limb.
Oh, I tell you, we live in strange times.

You never know what you'll hear on Coast to Coast AM with George Norris.
You know, there is terrorism out there, so in an effort to try to fight it or combat it, we give up these rights.
I'm convinced that there are groups out there, sinister, powerful groups, that would create this terror to continue to control us.
But of course, anybody that's followed the process of government throughout history, once a government has been given a certain amount of power, it always seeks more.
And to suggest that our government is different because it's America, I guess that just shows how historically ignorant the American people have become.
Because in a real sense, these things are our fault.
Americans are, in fact, now trading liberty for security.
Every day, this is going to happen now in our future, that we're going to allow this.
It's just a matter of time.

Now we take you back to the night of August 3rd, 1998, on Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Just to clarify, actually, you know, in my opinion, when Las Vegas began to go to hell, it was when actually Sheriff Moran took over from Sheriff Lamb.
Lamb kept things in line.
Moran kind of came in with the more liberal.
It's a fine line, you know.
I've worked with the police for a long time, and it's a very fine line they all walk indeed.
And it's not black and white.
There are gray areas of law enforcement.
And frankly, I think that I don't want to see my community move over, you know, to the white line, where everything is liberalized and where the justice scales are tipped in favor of the bad guys.
You follow me?
I'm very concerned about that in my own little community, and you ought to be in yours, too.
And how the sheriff conducts himself has a lot to do with that.
And Sheriff Liesky here has kept our town a good place to live in.
And, you know, we're growing.
I mean, actually, did you know that Pahrump, Nevada, little town I live in, is the fastest growing by percentage community in the state of Nevada, which happens to be the fastest growing state in the whole country?
And I think the temptation, once you begin to grow fast and get bigger, is to liberalize, particularly in law enforcement, and people come along and start calling you Nazi and all the rest of it.
And I'm totally uninterested in that kind of mudslinging.
And so I want to keep our current sheriff.
I really want to keep our current sheriff.
That's my personal opinion.
Because it has to do with my personal little place to live.
And in fact, if you look around you, Las Vegas was simply a very good example of a city that once was run fairly, but tough.
I admit it, tough.
You know, they didn't put up with any crap gangbangers.
You know, they were shown the door.
And I have no problem with that kind of law enforcement.
Now, of course, you don't want what the critics say either, and you don't want a Nazi-like thing.
Of course you don't want that.
That isn't what we have.
That's simply what's being bantered about with election rhetoric of people who would like the job.
So I don't want it to change here.
And if it does change here, I'm going to be an unhappy camper.
I hope that Cherif Leeski remains right where he is doing exactly what he's doing *Screams* Okay, so you've got Streamlink, our Apple iPhone app, the Daily Coast Zone free email newsletter, but don't forget the After Dark magazine.

Now we look at sending humans to an asteroid.
Smart idea?
I would love to see that happen.
A mission to an asteroid is exactly the kind of thing that our nation's space program ought to be focused on.
Really pushing the envelope and really showing us what's feasible and possible to do.
What better target than leaving the Earth-Moon system behind completely and venturing off to a new little world that we've never been to before and getting ready for that long mission to Mars.
And now we take you back to the night of August 3rd, 1998, on Art Bell: Somewhere in Time.
Isn't it if the Titanic went down today and the crew tried to insist that women and children go first, there would be wrongful death suits, so many you couldn't count them, from the men or the families of the men, charging sex discrimination.
if the titanic went down today do you think it would be women and children first How times change.
In fact, here, let me read this to you and then we'll all try it, okay?
Well, let's give it a try.
Experiment number two.
Hi, Art.
I've heard that you asked your listeners to visualize rain for Florida while the wildfires were going on, and that within the hour, the weather changed.
That's true.
And a day later, the rain began.
Here in Texas, we've been having 100-degree plus weather for over two months now.
This may have to do with the earth changes, but the fact of the matter is, 95 people have died statewide due to the extreme heat we're experiencing.
Would you consider making an announcement similar to the one you did for the state of Florida for the relief we need here in Texas?
There are thousands of people and animals who would be most grateful for some heavy rainfall, not to mention the grass, trees, and plants.
No worry about mudslides here in Texas.
We don't have any mountains.
So there you are.
Let's do it.
unidentified
I think it's a great idea.
I've been thinking about this for a while, and if any place needs it, Northern Texas could use it right now.
As you know, we had a guest who talked to us about clicking forward our frontal lobe, anyway.
It's virtually popping your frontal lobes and then concentrating on rain, concentrating on the formation of moisture and clouds above the state of Texas.
Now, the last time we tried the experiment, we asked you to face toward the target area.
So wherever you are, face toward Texas and spend a few Moments, if you wouldn't mind, concentrating on the formation of moisture above Texas.
And let's see if we can bring some rain to the state of Texas.
God knows they do need it.
So, if you would please help us participate now in great experiment number two, they've really had it down in Texas.
And if you're in Texas, concentrate on the area above you.
Let's see if we can bring rain to Texas.
I am not at all beyond believing that a collective mental effort is in fact capable of changing the weather.
I'm a little cautious about tampering in this area because I feel that probably moisture taken from one place to give to another may have its own kind of ill effects.
But let's see if it can be done.
We've got a large enough audience out there, all of you.
And if you will just take a quiet moment of contemplation, you can do it now, you can do it during the news, you can do it tomorrow, and concentrate as hard as you can on the formation of clouds, of the collection of moisture, the formation of clouds above Texas.
Specifically, if you wish northern Texas, the Dallas area could sure use some rain.
So, anybody willing to give it a try out there?
Despite the fact that I think there's a high predominating over that area, let us try.
They really do need the rain.
So, the Great Weather Experiment, Part 2.
Now, I don't know if I'm qualified to set it up, but I just did anyway.
We'll try it.
If it fails, it may be because I did not give you the proper instruction.
But let us try.
Concentrate as hard as you can every opportunity you get in the next 24 hours on rain for Texas.
I know, but it got ruined, and then it came back all by itself.
Remarkable.
I'm Art Bell.
This is Coast to Coast AM.

The night's program originally aired August 3rd, 1998.
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to another week of Coast to Coast AM.
And again, we are welcoming a new affiliate, a pretty cool one, too, WHP AM in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, serving that whole area of Pennsylvania.
This is a very strange show.
You'll find that out soon enough.
Listen, there is a photograph on my website right now, which is unlike any photograph I've ever seen in my whole life.
The reactions, I can't describe it to you because, frankly, this thing can't be described.
Someone here writes, Hey, Art, my interpretation is it's a melted Texan.
By the way, we're trying to help the Texans out, and if it's possible with mind power, millions of minds working on the same thing, we're trying to create rain in Texas.
Specifically, Dallas, North Texas.
And it is the Great Rain Experiment Part 2.
So I'm asking all of my audience to take just one moment out, kind of picture Texas in your mind, go into as much of a meditative state as you're able to, and try to picture rain, moisture, the gathering of clouds above Texas, and let's see what we can do.
It worked in Florida.
Maybe it'll work in Texas.
Anyway, there's a big old high over the area, so let's try it.
Let's give it a try.
Over the next 24 hours, all of you collectively, when you get an extra moment, consider rain and clouds over Texas.
Can you tell us any more about the origins of the picture?
Well, the guy who sent it has an email address.
You can email and ask him.
A few questions we should ask.
One, is it human?
Two, is it the remnants of a human?
Three, is something devouring a human?
And frankly, I don't know, but if you want to get a look at that photograph, go to my website and take a look.
See, it's www.artbell.com.
www.artbell.com.
It is bizarre, and I suppose it fits right in.

You know, the Israelites, when they arrived, Canaan, I'm going to speak slowly so that your listeners can hear me very well because of my dialect.
When my ancestors left Egypt through the journey in the wilderness, they finally arrived in Canaan and some tribes were eventually lost through history.
and these have been known to all in Nigeria that we are the lost one of the in fact in the area I'm trying to describe to you the caliber I don't know if you're familiar very well we know I am not the color ball is that correct color ball color by is the city right by the coast in eastern Nigeria
okay well I'm going to try and bring myself up a map here so I can take a look and maybe I can let's see where is my world map anyway so you
unidentified
you have been in this tribe for all your life yeah I've been with them with yeah with them all my life and we've been here in eastern Nigeria for a very long period of time from 900 BC when we left canine and okay I see now eastern Nigeria yeah and to the
south of you would be Cameroon now yes yes that goes to Cameron to the east of you would be Chad so you say your village would be down near the Cameroon border there's very close to the the Cameroon border okay I think I've got you here
um how close to the very southern tip of Nigeria how far from the ocean oh it is right by the ocean right by the ocean yeah okay in that case then I have you pinpointed I see where where you are and when you
unidentified
say lost tribe when when was your tribe discovered by the modern world I'm at we've been there we've been there from generations we have nobody had wanted to listen when the alien missionaries came to Nigeria yes we actually told them who we are and they could see
some of us but they wouldn't listen they wouldn't listen they were much interested in the resources instead of the people we've been there for generations but but everybody who came was more interested in the resources yeah yeah that's it mm-hmm that's that's it you said
God is alive on earth now oh yes all right um it's time I'm so glad I got a hold of you and um I hope the whole world is listening well a good part of it is yes um God the creator of heaven and earth and everything we see in heaven and on earth and the world beyond is now on earth how long has he been here
he been on earth since 1918 since 1918 yes he's been revealed to to certain
uh wise men or some because this when got before he manifested he actually was born in Nigeria um he revealed himself to some nuns in a in a in the Vatican in the Vatican yes that would make him um physiologically 80 years old now right almost almost 80 years old yes almost um and be sure he's not and be sure he's not coming to die he's not he's gonna
live with mankind forever he's not coming at this end time to die or at this time of his advent in the world he's coming to be with mankind forever um how what does this what does this what does God look like God is just like he looks he's a human he looks he's a human being yes just like the first time
Christ came to the world you know he was a Jew well I guess when I'm asking this what I mean is okay does he look like an 80 year old man um not much no so he does not look like he's aging no to 80 no no No.
No.
unidentified
The thing is believing, I hope one day you will go make a trip to Calaver and see what I'm just telling you.
Yeah, what did you see in Nigeria is just police action.
And the Holy Spirit is trying to take control over Nigeria.
The physical Nigeria is dead.
What you see is going on now, because Nigeria used to be a place you could live and enjoy life, and you can't grow up to be somebody, but everything fell into the bad hands, so they messed up the country.
So it's about time the Holy Spirit, you know, to take over the total control of that country.
Okay, I know that there are passages in the Bible about the second coming of our Lord.
But how, what I guess I must ask you is why you believe that these passages refer to this man.
unidentified
Because he is, first I told you, he's among his chosen people.
And secondly, this tribe, you know, the Edomites and the Israelites, we know who we are, where we came from, the promise God made to our own great-great-great-grandparents, our father Abraham, Jacob, that when he comes back, he will be among us.
And that's why he is among us, and we know him.
We believe him.
Anytime he says something, he makes a pronouncement, so-so-so is going to happen, it's going to happen.
Oh, what did You know, the message I'm just revealing to you is something that I don't know what to say, but it's a most profound revelation that ever been made in the entire universe.

In terms of disaster, some storms that man had never seen before.
The effect will be unbelievable.
It will be terrible.
And the judgment coming is going to be a spiritual judgment.
Every human race, even fishes in the water, the birds of the air, every living thing will feel this significant change.
So bring this to the entire universe.
There's no time.
People are still looking up in the sky, looking that Christ is going to crash land from the sky.
It's not going to happen that way.
It didn't happen before.
So it's not going to happen this time.
God doesn't do his own thing the way we human beings do.
He came at the first adventure through the womb of a woman and the same thing happened this time.
It's for us now to wake up and know that the time is hot for human beings to change and stop all the bad things been going on in the universe for generations.
That we're going to give account of every action, everything that we do in our life.
We're going to give account of it.
So I come and put this message through you because I've been struggling.
I struggled all the way.
Tried to get a hold of you when you were in Egypt and could not.
So I came right back here and so that everybody could see you actually tried to get hold of me in Egypt when I was there.
Oh yes.
We you know your radio talk show is the only station we know is dedicating to the events, the stuff.
You talk about things that interest us and we know this would be the best avenue for us to send this message to the whole world.
Yes, those are going to happen, but individual person, the person, every person, whether a child, black, white, everybody would stand before the Holy Spirit and give account of his deeds.
No person on the face of this earth will escape this judgment.
Have there been any film crews that have gone to Nigeria to film this person who calls himself God?
unidentified
not probably from Europe probably the degrees the I know of them we have some people from the this country Greece but individually people from Europe Romania England other countries like that have
No, not so much from the U.S. Well, all I can say to you is that I have listened to what you said, and I don't know that I can believe, and I don't know that I don't believe.
I don't know what to think, Zion.
I'm being honest with you right now.
I don't know what to think.
unidentified
The reason I want you to, you know, you can find out, you know, this for yourself.
You mentioned that you're going to South Africa in October or something.
Most of you will have heard the last hour, which was, to say the least, unusual.
A very serious man, a Nigerian named Isyong Sam, was here.
Its Yong Sam has been searching for me for some time, tried to get me when I was in Egypt, and just missed me, and now is in this country, and he found me through my network.
Now, if you're just joining right now, it's going to sound very strange.
Is Yong Sam is from the Caliburians.
This is a tribe in southern Nigeria, near the coast, just north of the Cameroon border.
If you have a map.
There are two tribes there, the Calaburians and the Edomites.
Isyong Sam claims that these tribes are the lost tribes of Israel.
He further claims that God is alive on earth now.
That God has been alive on earth since 1918 and now would be physiologically about 80 years of age.
His name is Olumba Obu.
Now, I know all of this is an awful lot to get hit with if you're just joining the show.
Frankly, it's an awful lot to get hit with even if you were listening to last hour.
But this man sounds very serious.
I gave him an opportunity to peddle stuff or sell stuff, and he said, well, there are some publications they have made.
But didn't give me any numbers and didn't try any hard sell or any sell at all.
We gave out no numbers.
I listened for an hour.
He said that he received a message from Nigeria, from Alumbu Abu, earlier today that the end is at hand.
That in other words, that Judgment Day lies no more than 10 months off, 18 at the outside.
And that there will be a worldwide judgment.
That God is a man of black skin on earth now?
Now I know.
Believe me, I know.
I know what your reaction is like, but I explore these kinds of things.
As you well know, I explore things with an open mind, and I'm exploring this with an open mind.
There is an invitation for me to go and meet this man.
Now, it was said that he has done miracles, as did Christ when he was on earth.
It has been said, I was told by Is Yong-sam that Israel has sent a delegation to meet with this man who says he is God.
I don't exactly know what the resolution of that was, but if the Israelis did it, then they must be pretty serious about the possibility of the degree they would go and investigate.
It is an interesting story, and who is to say, of course, that God is not here.
Not me.
It could be.
I repeat, it could be.
In a moment, I'm going to sort of punctuate this last hour's interview.
Stay right where you are.

Here's what you missed on Coast to Coast AM with George Norrie.
Now we look at sending humans to an asteroid.
Smart idea?
I would love to see that happen.
A mission to an asteroid is exactly the kind of thing that our nation's space program ought to be focused on.
Really pushing the envelope and really showing us what's feasible and possible to do.
What better targets than leaving the Earth-Moon system behind completely and venturing off to a new little world that we've never been to before and getting ready for that long mission to Mars.
Now we take you back to the night of August 3rd, 1998, on Art Bell Somewhere in Time.
Our friend E. Young, and it's pronounced with an F, not an S, I made the mistake because his English is excellent, but there are little things that slip through sometimes.
Efeong Sam called me this afternoon.
Now what makes it so remarkable is not his story, which we'll talk about in a second, but the fact that unbeknownst to anybody, we are carefully looking into the possibility of taking a group of people to Africa toward the end of the year as part of my quest on this ancient ritual Egyptian calendar.
And Ephaion's people, this so-called lost tribe of Israel, actually historically can be traced back to Egypt.
And I'm sitting here holding a book by Robert Temple, Bob Temple, who wrote The Serious Mystery.
And there is a whole chapter devoted to tracing were the ancient Egyptians, the black Egyptians who some scholars now really believe were the progenitors of what we see along the Nile in their migrations out of Egypt, across the Sahara, down through West Africa, ultimately down to the coast of Nigeria.
So that's the part that I didn't have a problem with.
What I had a problem with was the synchronicity of, I mean, no one knows that we're even looking at this.
I tried to get hold of you earlier today to invite you and Ramona to be part of this.
And one of my visions is to have the right group of people standing on that plateau at the time at the end of the year when these alignments all work, according to the computer calculations we've been doing now for the last couple of years.
And out of the blue, as I'm working on this and thinking about who I'd like to have along, like Graham and you and some people by maybe Bob Temple, this guy calls, E. Young Sam and says, have I got a story for you?
I mean, when was the last time you got a call from somebody from Africa who's on a quest to get Hollywood to take seriously the story of the black Messiah and the, quote, end of times?
Well, now keep in mind that Nigeria, according to the expertise that I've been drawing upon, is the heart and soul of more con games on the Western world than any other place on our country.
And the different part is I know historically that this tribe has a derivation back to where he claims it does.
That's one.
Number two, the synchronicity of him calling just as we're looking into this, even before I was able to let you know.
And, you know, I'm a curious person.
I want to pursue this because there is a hidden side of Africa and Egypt that this trip could bring out.
There is a timing here that is extraordinary and connected to all the research we've done all the way back to Mars, whose time has come.
You know, this audience, the people who are listening to us tonight have been part of this unfolding saga.
And this is kind of like a whole new plateau that if things work right, we'll be able to invite some of your audience on this trip.
But the timing of this individual, the way I look at things is that there are times when a signal presents itself and you should probably pay attention.
Now, I don't yet know what the signal is trying to tell us, but I'm going to pursue it like it's an honest signal, and he's going to send me documentation, and I have sources I can call upon to find out more.
There are archaeologists and anthropologists who have worked with this tribe, which, by the way, is derivation of the Dagon up further north toward the Sahara.
Bob Temple has done a stunning job in the book he published in 76 called The Sirius Mystery.
Well, Sirius is heart and soul of what we're figuring out, this ancient Egyptian ritual calendar, which has shown up now in extraordinary places, like in the heart of NASA.
So I am intrigued about the synchronicity.
If I was asked for a, quote, rational or logical explanation, I would say this is the hyperdimensional physics in the consciousness mode at work.
As Mark Twain would say, when it's steamboat time, you steam.
So I'm going to follow the signal and we'll let everyone know where it leads.
Well, let's pursue it with an open mind and make no decisions, because obviously there's a lot of ways you can reference what he's describing without getting all the way to the ultimate explanation.
It's almost like there's an important part of history that maybe this tribe has to tell the world, has to tell all of us, and we should be humble enough to keep asking the right questions, making no decisions yet.
And when you came on tonight and at the top of the show, the part that a lot of the country doesn't hear, announced that you were planning to go to Africa and you had considered seriously Nigeria, that was an even further level of asynchronicity.
Well, I'm really focused on trying to organize this.
Obviously, something of this magnitude, given that we have about six months, is not easy to put together.
Through another synchronous set of meetings, I met exactly the right individual to help me Craft this, and without that expertise, I wouldn't even begin to consider something crazy like this.
I used to do, as you may or may not know, cruises in one of my former lives.
Between my Cronkite years and my Hayden years, I took a ship on the voyage beyond Apollo.
It was the last Apollo mission to the moon, and I took a whole bunch of people, Bob Heinlein and Carl Sagan and Isaac Asimov, and, you know, Catherine Ann Porter was on the ship.
And I took this ship down, and we anchored offshore, and we followed the last Apollo through the Caribbean, winding up at Arecibo, having a picnic on the banks of Arecibo when the astronauts of Apollo 17 were walking on the moon to basically try to put into context, even before it closed, what the Apollo era meant to humankind.
And then much later, I was privileged to borrow the QE2 to chase the comet Kahotec.
Well, I've done this, and it's in the forward to my book, and, you know, it's in our biography and all that.
Anyway, that was a pretty amazing event because I had Carl Sagan on board, and I had Ken Franklin, who was one of the discoverers, and my boss at the Hayton at that time, he was one of the discoverers of the radio emission from Jupiter.
And one of the really neat things was to stand on the stern of the greatest ship in the world and pick up the telephone because they have these little things sitting back there with telephones to the bridge and calling the captain and asking him, could you please move 20 points to port, sir, so we can move the plume off the comet?
So it's been a while since I've done one of these, and I want to take a group of people, the right mix of people from our audience, as well as some other people, kind of movers and shakers, and take them to the Middle East toward the end of the year to on-site show them, with the pyramids in the background, the things we have talked about in a more academic vein.
Let me read this to you from the State Department, all right?
Nigeria Travel Warning.
The Department of State warns U.S. citizens of the dangers of travel to Nigeria.
Nigeria has limited tourist facilities and poses considerable risks to travelers.
Violent crime practiced by persons in police and military uniforms, as well as by ordinary criminals, is an acute problem now in the country.
Use of public transportation throughout Nigeria, including taxis, is dangerous.
Nigerian airlines have aging fleets, and the U.S. Embassy is concerned that maintenance and operational procedures may be inadequate to ensure passenger safety.
Business charity and other scam target foreigners worldwide and pose danger of financial loss.
Recipients pursuing such fraudulent offers risk physical harm if they come to Nigeria.
and that uh...
that pretty well sums up the uh...
state department warning on nigeria and yet and yet i was And so this comes, as Richard would say, rather synchronistically.
I wonder if God was on earth and you were in his presence, you would understand without further need of proof, knowledge, hard proof that you were in the presence of our Lord.
I don't know.
I'm just going to leave that whole thing where it is right now, and you can draw your own conclusions.
We're about to go to open lines.
Listen, there is a photograph on my website right now, unlike any that you have ever seen in your whole life.
I make no warranties about it non-zero.
I don't know where it came from.
Actually, I guess we do.
We have the fellow's name who sent it and an email address.
Hopefully it's a good one.
But this picture is, it's indescribable.
It's probably was at one time a human being, maybe.
I don't know.
All I can say is you go take a look and you tell me I don't have the slightest idea what it is we're looking at.
I not the slightest idea.
I'm sure in good time we're going to find out.
Somebody will find out where this photograph came from, what it is, and blah, blah, blah.
But for now, we don't know.
And so it just says, what is this?
You know, I mean, go up to the website and click on it, take a look for yourself.
You look at it and you go, oh, my God, what is this?
No answer.
The news from Australia is very, very serious.
Sydney's water contamination crisis that forced millions of residents of Australia's largest city to boil tap water has been rather serious.
Now it seems like it's ending, and they're now saying the water may be free of parasites, which caused severe diarrhea.
And we're talking about millions of people now.
We're getting more and more warnings like this from more and more places.
It's really odd.
So the report we had the other day on the air from Australia, by the way, was absolutely accurate.
Absolutely accurate.
In the meantime, any of you who have seen, by the way, this photograph, please call in and tell me what you think it is that we're dealing with here.
In Kentucky, surgeons are poised to attempt the first transplant of a human hand from a cadaver to a human being.
I'm not kidding you.
I know it sounds like something from Frankenstein, but it is not.
Surgeons at Jewish Hospital there in Louisville, Kentucky feel there is a better than 50% chance that they can successfully transplant a hand from a cadaver to a living human and that within four to five weeks of surgery,
the person will have full movement and that with more time, a complete feeling as the nerves connect.
Don't we live in strange times?
And one other thing, I want to give Sean David Morton some credit.
Now, we repeated last night.
Some of you may have heard it.
Think about this.
Art, the last time Sean David Morton was on coast to coast, which happened to be repeated fortuitously last night, he predicted that President Clinton's ultimate fall from grace would begin August 17th.
He made that prediction, folks.
Now, guess when Clinton is scheduled to begin testifying before the grand jury?
You've got it.
August 17th.
Looks like Sean may have nailed it again.
Gary in Las Vegas.
And Gary, you're exactly right.
Undeniable.
We have it recorded.
The date of the beginning of testimony was just announced.
Okay, obviously this is something he is not yet prepared to talk about publicly.
unidentified
Well, I think he will shortly.
Also, I was with Graham Hancock here in Seattle a couple weeks back, and I noticed you just had this guest on from Africa.
I didn't actually hear that part.
My understanding from talking to Graham is that he was doing some studies a while back on the Lost Tribe of Israel and also the Lost Ark of the Covenant, which is supposed to be in that area.

Now we take you back to the night of August 3rd, 1998, on Art Bell Somewhere in Time.
Yes, you went right down to the pixel level, I'm sure.
unidentified
Yeah, and it appears to be two feet, two pictures of feet have been laid in over the mass of the whatever the body is.
Well, what is the body?
Well, I would say just by looking at it, coloration and all, that it's possibly a prop.
There was a head to it that looks like it's been removed or brushed out, cut out, because there's a very, very just the way the line is near the top of the head.
Let me warn you about something, or I guess discuss something with you.
I've put up, over the years now, I've learned, I've put up a gazillion pictures, you know, different pictures of different things.
Some of these photographs, certainly not this one, but some I have known to be absolutely legitimate photographs.
Some of the photographs I've taken myself, my own 35mm camera, and then scanned with my own HP scanner.
Good high-quality scanner.
And no matter what I put up, I get photo experts calling and saying, I looked at line 47, pixel 36, and I can see by the shading here that this is a fake photograph.
You know what I'm saying?
unidentified
I didn't look at it that precisely.
I just looked at it quickly, and it seems very visible.
I'm sure you could sit down and analyze it closer, but it's kind of sloppy.
If it was anybody in the Jewish part of Israel, they wouldn't have really bothered to gun because what he claims is nothing that Jews would have any interest in.
And so if he'd have had anything to sell, he'd have whipped out an 800 number.
unidentified
But as far as the Jewish Messiah, it has nothing to do with end times, and it has nothing to do with God coming in human form.
So that's, for a Jewish person, that wouldn't spark any lightning bolts.
Christians view that as, you know, the Messiah is God, and the Messiah has to do with end times, but the Messiah's function was to restore Israel to the Jewish people, and the Jews expect the Messiah to come when there's no need for the Messiah.
And that is an act of creation in a sense of the word.
But I think that I think I don't know how to answer the question myself.
Who created God?
One answer might be that God was not created, that God has always been here and always will be here.
and we are limited by our perception of time another words something One thing happens prior to another, and another thing happens after whatever is happening right now.
We have a linear sense of time.
If you have no sense of time, or if in fact there is no time, or if in fact time is our invention, then there never was an original creation.
Because there would be no time reference for it.
That was a pretty cool answer.
That's the best one I could think of at the moment.
So then why would it be a necessary precursor to his return this time?
That's silly.
unidentified
Well, I'm just saying that would be a concern of mine if I were God.
And I would just think that, well, if somebody else were God, they would naturally have the same inclinations toward, you know, modern, comfortable, convenient.
Oh, I'm sorry about that, because without a doubt, every one of them would have been white people.
For some reason, the only black people that were in ancient Egypt were the Nubian slaves that are talked about by Herodotus and I fully see where we're going here, and I'm not going there with you.
Don't you doubt for a second that God could appear in any form.
If you think that God's coming back as a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, white guy...
God could come back in any form.
And I don't know what makes you think that he's going to come to where there's air conditioning and all the convenience of life, including satellite TV or whatever else you might consider to be convenient.
In fact, if there's anything that can be revealed from a casual reading of the Bible, it's that he's more likely to show up among the downtrodden than he is the air-conditioned.
You listen to people and you make judgments, but you can't rule anything out because when he does come, if he is here, he could be there as easily as he could be here or in Israel or anywhere else.
I wonder if one would know if they were in the presence of God.
unidentified
I kind of believe you would.
I mean, if you were in the presence of someone who had that awe-inspiring power, that omnipresence, that omnipotent power, you should be able to know.
I think you would if it was the real thing.
I mean, we've all, walking down the street in our local downtowns, have, I'm sure, run across somebody who claimed to be the Messiah and looked like somebody who just downed a bottle of ripple or what have you.
So you know the difference.
I think if you're in the presence of the real person or the real being, you would know.
Well, maybe, but you've got to also imagine, thank you, that minus the bottle of ripple that somebody might have just downed, and there's plenty of those.
And I turn those down all the time.
I get plenty of people like that.
Believe me, email, letters.
This fellow was different.
That's why I put him on the air.
Of course, was not claiming to personally be the Messiah.
Now, there would be some people who would have a mental disturbance minus the ripple and would still probably give that aura off.
So that's why I wonder, if you were in the presence of the real McCoy, whether you would know.
And I lean toward thinking that yes, the answer is yes.
So, you know, if I actually thought for a second that God was in that very difficult portion of Africa, I would make the trip anyway, despite the apparent danger.
And there is quite a bit of danger.
and if i were sufficiently convinced i might do it Would you?
Yes, Christ himself prophesies a lot of false Christs right before his coming, and it sure does seem like we're getting a lot of them with Mitrea and Moon.
Whether or not I go there, I'm being warned it's very dangerous, but I might.
unidentified
Well, if I may say, Christ's own advice in the Bible is that whenever people say that they know where the Christ is and his place and whereabouts, don't go there and don't believe him.
I'm going to have to get some sleep, but everybody else has pretty much said what I wanted to say, but I just wanted to tell you, I don't think you need to go to Nigeria.
You know, I have an interesting attitude about danger.
And it's kind of that if your numbers up, your numbers up kind of deal.
And so I've, for the most part, chosen to ignore warnings and go and do what I felt I wanted to go and do anyway.
But Nigeria, that's a pretty good gamble.
Wild card line, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Morning.
Morning.
I think we have a really subtle but misunderstood interpretation of the word believing because my dictionary defines believing as having insufficient proof so as to know something.
And that's what we spend a lot of time doing, is trying to convince ourselves or somebody else to believe in something that they can not know by that means.
If God came back in whatever form, most people would not believe.
or most people would not have faith depending on how you want to and look at it perhaps also those who I think he would put out of business most of the people that would ask us to believe in him in the first place.
unidentified
I think that man has created God in his own image since time immemorial.
It says if we're the children of God, then we should probably need to grow up and become God-like and take on those responsibilities as metaphorically presented.
And it has taken time for that purpose to be fulfilled.
We are the sons of God, but it does not now appear what we shall be.
But when he appears, we'll be like him.
And he is spirit.
So when the resurrection comes and Christ returns, the true Christians will be made spirit, and we will see him as he really and truly is.
And it will not...
That's why most people can't understand this, because God has got a plan, and when his plan is completed, then every man will have the veil removed from his eyes, and he'll be able to understand God as he is, because God is not a respecter of persons.
So everyone that has ever lived will be resurrected.
And there will be a time when they will have their chance to understand and to know God.
But anyways, if they really want to find out, and they keep talking about cloning and everything, they're apparently claiming to clone the Shroud of Turin at one point.
Well, they're trying to get DNA from the Shroud of Turin.
Thank you.
To clone Jesus.
They're going to make that attempt, I guess.
But I thought human cloning was banned.
What would be interesting to me would not be so much the cloning, although actually that'd be interesting.
But an examination of the DNA, the recovered DNA from the shroud, would there be a difference, albeit a subtle difference, in the DNA of Christ from human beings?
And if there was, could a DNA manipulation be made in very deep territory here to create in the embryonic stage I don't even want to finish the sentence.
That's see, I think maybe we should be looking at prophecy that way, that we shouldn't be looking for an actual date or some sort of a fatality of numbers.
And as far as the change they made beforehand, I would say it's reactive.
unidentified
Yeah, well, obviously it is.
I'm just really glad for you because I think it's a great show.
And you know what?
I called you, I think maybe a few days ago, and I shouldn't be calling you so much, I understand that, but I asked you about Dr. Goldberg and the men in black.
