Richard C. Hoagland reports the Leonid meteor shower’s unexpected early arrival over Israel in 1998, defying NASA’s decades-old tracking models, and highlights a November 18th NASA video showing an anomalous object moving unnaturally near a Leonid—statistically a 1-in-19.5-million coincidence. A Pentagon source claims a "hostile" Pegasus-linked object may arrive December 6th–7th, echoing Peter Gersten’s earlier warnings, though no follow-up signals or promised antenna access materialized. Meanwhile, Art Bell defends his show’s speculative format amid the Snuffed Candle Award controversy, citing Phoenix UFO sightings near an elementary school and delayed Dr. Reed video releases, while teasing guests like Zachariah Sitchin and Y2K bug concerns, including non-compliant 450 MHz computers. The episode blends celestial anomalies with geopolitical unease, leaving listeners questioning whether the universe—or intelligence agencies—holds unexplained secrets.

From the high desert in the great American Southwest, I bid you all good evening or good morning, as the case may be, and welcome to yet another edition of the best in live talk radio.
And I mean the best.
From the Tahitian Islands, outwest, eastward to the Caribbean and the U.S. Virgin Islands, south into South America, north all the way to Santa Country at the pole and worldwide on the internet.
Thanksbroadcast.com.
Thank youbroadcast.com.
This is Coast to Coast AM, and I'm Mark Bell.
In a moment, we are going to get a brief update on a few things like the Leonid meteor shower and something a little, actually several strange things about the Leonids this year.
Richard C. Hoagland will have that.
An update on the Pegasus Hopes question marks tied in with what people are talking about.
It needs some sort of landing on December 6th or 7th.
And the Leonids are particularly reliable because they were discovered in kind of, not discovered, but recognized in 1865, 1866.
Oddly enough, Art, by an Italian astronomer, Giovanni Virginio Scaparelli, who coincidentally discovered the canals on Mars, which is a piece of trivia that doesn't make any sense to anybody unless you're following this very closely.
Anyway, the peculiar thing is that we arrived 19 and a half hours, give or take a few, early at the place where the densest part of the Leonid stream was going to be.
And this is a meteor shower, a meteor storm, a concentration of tiny particles left in the wake of Temple Tuttle, the comet that flew by this part of its orbit in February, just a few months after the comet.
And Yeomans, with great confidence and aplomb, and, you know, the full weight of NASA behind him said, oh, no, it's going to be 350 million miles away on the other side of the sun.
Well, look, guys, if within a space of a couple of days, you can't predict when we're going to cross the comet by 19 plus hours, how the heck can you know where it's going to be in 100 years?
Now, there's an interesting twist, because remember that Tom Bearden and I did a show back when the NORAD memo came to light that we were going to have a 20% casualty rate, and on the show that night, this is about a couple months ago, I said, given these hyperdimensional black technologies,
technologies which literally could reach out and create synthetic gravity, what we really ought to do is to get the guys in these ops programs to basically create hyperdimensional snowplows and basically burrow a furrow through the leonid so the Earth could pass through relatively unscathed.
Well, you know what happens when you create synthetic gravity?
You move things around and you move things closer.
So on the face of it, pun intended, the fact that we arrived where the comet Debris was not supposed to be 19 plus hours earlier, would look as if maybe somebody moved those particles in such a way that they arrived early, but there were fewer of them than were expected.
Remember the great Star Trek, the last one of the series where Spock is holy McAnister, and he said, by all the laws of physics I know, it has to work and it didn't.
Well, when something as reliable as celestial mechanics on a cometary stream that's been around for literally 100 plus years does not fit the calculation by almost an entire day, there is something radically and wonderfully wrong.
Which takes us to the second anomaly.
If you go to our website, enterprise mission.com, you will see a posting there of an anomalous moving object.
We grabbed four frames from the video that was recorded on the aircraft, one of the two aircraft that NASA was flying at a racetrack formation over Okinawa.
And on the night of the 18th, the morning of the 18th actually over there, at about four hours and a few minutes, they recorded in a few seconds an incredibly interesting mystery.
Because you have this bore-sided video camera aimed out the top of the airplane through a telescope.
And at stage left, you see this little dot appear, and it moves slowly toward the right.
When it gets to the center of the frame, a leonid flashes from about the 1 o'clock position down toward the 8 o'clock position.
And as you know from looking at the stills, it crosses exactly dead center over this object, as the object is very close to the exact center of the frame.
And that's the one piece of video that NASA, in all its majesty, chose to release to the world from their Leonid watch.
I was twirling around like some ballet dancer because these things were all over the sky.
So the idea that you would have a camera focused in the right position in the right direction for the object to reach the center of that frame and then you get your shot.
And this Percy or this Leonid slashes through an object in space while you're watching.
All right, latest development is there's been no further confirmations of a signal.
We had, as you know, someone who faxed you who was offering us a major antenna, and it turned out they got cold feet.
Now, whether they got talked to or whether they decided that they didn't want to get involved in controversy or whether they were just pulling our leg, we don't know.
In the interim, however, we've had two ground reports that are pretty intriguing.
The Skywatch people, which is a UFO organization of which Bill Hamilton and others are members, have a UK division, United Kingdom, Britain.
Their director over the weekend put on the internet a report that they had a source in the Pentagon claiming that there is a hostile object coming from the direction of the constellation of Pegasus due to arrive on December 6th.
My gut feeling, Art, is that something big is going to go down and that someone's been trying to give us a heads up.
The way the rank and file are kind of organizing against this is that there's a lot of people taking pot shots at you and me and Gersten and others for simply staying on the story.
And then there are other folks that are getting, quote, corroboration, where politically it would be suicide for them to raise their head and get fired at.
They have now stuck their oar in the water and their cards in the deck and appear to be waiting with the rest of us to see what happens.
We had one report this afternoon of military activity around the designated landing site, the so-called landing site that my Pentagon source gave to me several days ago.
Do you think this would be like close encounters of the third kind, where the general public wouldn't have any idea that anything is going to go on, that the government would somehow know there was going to be a landing, know where that landing was going to be, and like in close encounters, would set up this elaborate reception point.
The sin is not to venture, not to dare, not to project, not to use the best data and the best process you have to tell it like it is when you think it is.
That's Richard C. Hoagland with a quick report from Washington, state of, up in the Seattle area, where, yes, I understand they're having absolutely tremendous winds.
Well, you cannot be afraid to report things.
I'm not afraid to report things, and I constantly get messages from people, you know, that to say things like, oh, Art, you better be careful.
You better not let Dr. Reed come on and tell a story like that.
Your credibility is in danger.
Oh, no, it's not.
I will let anybody tell their story.
I'm surprised that the majority of my audience has not yet figured that out.
Well, actually, the majority has.
The minority, and frequently those who don't listen, haven't figured it out yet.
I don't warranty anything that goes on the air as being true.
I am not an investigative agency, nor do I employ one.
I do talk radio, and the kind of talk radio I do is many times open to your judgment as an adult.
You can listen, and you can decide for yourself what is worthy and what is not worthy.
You can make up your own mind as an adult whether what you're hearing is true or false or fun or not fun or boring or exciting or whatever.
I will continue to provide this kind of information, come what may.
Some will turn out well, some will be true, and some will not.
Tomorrow night, by the way, Zachariah Sitchin is going to be here, and we're going to follow that up with Benjamin Krim, who is going to talk a little bit about UFOs.
Tomorrow night, UFOs.
A lot of interesting programs, as a matter of fact, lined up for you.
Wednesday night, Thursday, Dr. Alan Vaughn, who now claims to be the most accurate prophet in the world.
And then Thursday night, Friday, it's Father Charles L. Moore.
I said Father Charles L. Moore.
I'll tell you more about that one.
unidentified
I'll tell you more about that one.
AM 1500 KSTP.
Everything good you gotta need.
You take a long way home.
You take a long way home.
Make the long way more.
When you want to make all of me to Drunkwood Art Bell in the Kingdom of Nigh.
From east of the Rockies, dial 1-800-825-5033.
West of the Rockies, including Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico.
1-800-618-8255.
First-time callers may reach art at area code 702-727-1222.
And you may call ART on the wildcard line at area code 702-727-1295.
To reach Art from outside the U.S., first dial your access number to the USA, then 800-893-0903.
This is Coast to Coast AM from the Kingdom of Nigh with Art Bell.
It sure is, and good evening, good morning, whatever the case may be.
See you here.
This is our once a year and maybe the last year for what I'm about to tell you, offer for my books.
The Art of Talk.
I have two books, actually.
I don't know if you knew that.
The first and actually the latest is The Art of Talk.
Hardcover, 260 pages, 60 photographs, some never before published, both in color and black and white.
Takes me from a little kid to all the way through radio, my whole radio career, a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff.
Very frank, honest book, and The Quickening.
I wrote The Quickening as well, bestseller for a long time, on weather changes, world government changes in society, volcanoes, earthquakes, tornadoes, things generally.
The quickening came from deep inside somewhere.
And The Quickening also continues to sell like crazy.
Now I warn you, I only do this at Christmas, as my long-term audience knows.
And I think it's going to be the last year because I just can't do it anymore.
I can't do it anymore.
If you would like both books, you can get autographed copies, autographed copies of both books, and you get a deal to $44.95 plus shipping and handling.
Autographed hard copy, both books for $44.95 plus shipping and handling.
That's it.
There are a limited number of signed copies available.
A person can only do so much in their life.
So this offer is good until I say otherwise, and that may only be a few days.
It could be through Christmas.
I think stock of one of them is going to go very quickly, and we may not have it all the way through Christmas.
So 24 hours a day, including right now, but write the number down.
If it's busy, you can call back later because I don't offer, as you know, autographed books, but once a year, if I can, for as many as I can, and I call it off without notice because you can only sign so many books, you know.
The number is 800-864-7991.
Again, that number, 1-800-864-7991.
One last time.
Take the number down.
The autographed books will be here for a very short window indeed.
1-800-864-7991.
Merry Christmas.
Now, you heard, Richard, they're getting wind gusts of 60 miles an hour in the Seattle area.
Actually, they clocked in Washington 80 miles an hour earlier today.
Hundreds of thousands, actually, in the last year.
Please consider buying a Bajin free play radio.
It's simple.
It doesn't require batteries.
It doesn't require being plugged into the wall.
It's got a crank on the side.
You turn the crank for 30 seconds and this full seven-pound portable radio plays on AM, FM, and seven shortwave bands for 30 minutes.
Moreover, the only place you can buy a Beijing with a light is the Sea Grain Company.
It comes with a 12-foot cord and a magnetic light on the end with LED arrays instead of bulbs that last for thousands of hours.
In fact, 100,000 hours.
Imagine that.
So now, every time you crank the crank for 30 seconds, the radio plays for 30 minutes and you get light for 30 minutes.
So you tell me, if the power goes out, where are you going to go?
You're going to go straight to your Beijing radio if you have one.
If you don't, you better get going buy one.
14995.
The time to buy it is now, not then.
The number to call at 7.30 a.m. Pacific time is 1-800-522-8863.
That's 1-800-522-8863.
The C-Crane Company.
Can you imagine getting up in the morning to find that your electricity, water phone, television, even radios don't work?
Your car may not start.
Public transportation not running.
Banks, post offices, and most public and private offices closed.
Credit cards and checks not accepted?
It's a nightmare.
It's the nightmare that could occur January 1st in the year 2000.
This, of course, is the infamous Y2K bug you've all been hearing about.
Are the people saying all this simply alarmist nuts?
Or is there really something to all of this?
Well, time to find out the real truth.
For a free copy of a speech given by Senator Robert Bennett, chairman of the Senate Special Committee on the Y2K problem given to a conference held by the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Call my friends at David Hall's North American Trading at 1-800-359-4255.
I said free.
I want all of you to have this report, please.
Call today, no charge, and ask to have the report sent to you.
That's 1-800-359-4255.
All right, looking at the news, I see the Dow Jones has recovered completely and gone to a brand new high and closed at 9374 today, toppling the July 17th record.
So it's going to be very interesting to see where she goes from here.
Defense Secretary William Cohen said the U.S. has enough firepower in the Persian Gulf.
Should force be needed in yet the latest dispute with Iraq over weapons documents.
This is so tiresome.
So, so tiresome.
We ratchet up.
We rattle swords.
We get ready.
The planes sometimes even get in the air.
And then we recall them.
Eventually, we are going to have to deal with Saddam.
To me, it begins to feel a little bit like Vietnam, although the number of casualties has not obviously been comparable, nor even serious, though one life is serious.
We use mainly cruise missiles, not men.
But eventually, we're going to get involved again.
And it's this partial thing that reminds me of Vietnam.
Go in and hit him, just take him down a peg or two.
And if we're going to have to do it, then let's do it and get it done.
That's me.
A Virginia county's effort to block internet pornography from computers, a library there in public libraries, fell today.
A federal judge ruled that they may not put in filtering.
They may not filter anything.
They've got to let it all come through.
So you can go to the public library and you can see the triple X hardcore stuff.
Now, of course, they can take the internet out of the library, but they cannot tamper about with the First Amendment.
Listen, there is something strange going on on our sun right now.
We may have a very interesting magnetic storm, yet another on the way.
In about three days, we have had four X-class flares on the sun.
I said four X-class flares.
Now, that is incredible.
I mean, even for a very active sun cycle, four X-class flares in about three days.
Well, that's pushing the envelope a little bit.
And then this.
Art, I was just speaking to my brother Steve in Phoenix, and he tells me there's been a lot of television coverage of the recent surge of UFO sightings in the area.
Again, Phoenix.
Recently, an elementary school had a UFO sighting during the day near the school.
It was seen by teachers and school children alike.
Photos were taken, and Channel 12 apparently aired them or will air them tonight.
Can you dig anything up on this?
Well, of course, I can ask my audience, hey audience, what's going on down in Phoenix?
The show is so easy to defend because it is no single thing.
And I don't warranty any of what you hear to Be true.
I allow people to do what other talk shows don't.
I allow them to tell their stories, whatever they may be.
And I assume that you are adults.
Now, not all of you are, and we all know what happens when you assume, but I nevertheless do it.
I try not to do your thinking for you.
I present whatever it is and allow you to digest it, ruminate about it, and decide for yourself.
That is what this program is all about.
By the way, there's going to be a lot of that going on this week.
I told you, let me run through it a little bit for you.
Tonight, a man who was on the boat that had the captain that was the tech advisor for Hunt for Red October, that should be rather interesting.
Tomorrow night, in the first hour, Zachariah Sitchin is going to be here.
You should know about Zachariah Sitchin.
I think you do know about Zachariah Sitchin, don't you?
That'll be followed with Benjamin Krim.
Now, Benjamin was here last time talking about Marea.
This time, he's got something to say about UFOs.
Should be rather interesting.
It may relate to Zachariah Sitchin.
The following night, I have a very interesting program coming on.
He bills himself as the world's most successful predictor prophet, if you will, and somebody who actually teaches prophecy to others, Dr. Alan Vaughan.
That's Dr. Alan Vaughan.
And let me see, what else have I got coming up here?
Let me continue to turn the pages for you so you know what's going on.
This is for people who are not on the net, because if you're on the net, you can go to my website and see the bookings up there.
Oh, yes.
Thursday night, Friday morning, Father Charles L. Moore.
And you know who suggested that I have Father Moore on, Catholic priest?
None other than Zachariah Sitchin.
Zachariah called me earlier today and said, Art, you've got to talk to this priest.
He's read my books, and he teaches, he preaches based to some degree on my books.
And so we're going to have him on.
That's hard to believe, but we'll find out.
And then, by the way, next Friday night, Saturday morning, December 4th, Gary North is going to be here.
It's been long enough.
We are due, more than due, for an update.
Do you know, I've been seeing messages saying the new, some of the new 450 megahertz home computers are not Y2K compliant.
And because he wasn't like Harlot, to a lot of Christians, they got very, very angry because what they wanted was a real fire-breathing Satanist who would confirm their opposite belief.
It ranged from, yeah, he was the real thing and he was real scary to, I'm so damn angry at you, I may never listen to you, I certainly will never talk to you again.
So that's when I know I'm doing okay.
I mean, I just, I'll be all over the place with this program.
And inevitably, the worst thing that can happen is nothing.
But as long as you're in there, I like to stir, you know, stir the pot.
My question is, he's talking about he's wanting to get the truth out and everything, wanting to get the information out for everybody to view and everything.
Yep.
My question is, what is taking so long with the videos and everything, getting that out?
My newsletter is called After Dark, and every month it's chock full of interviews, current news, analysis, photographs, illustrating, and expanding on many of the things you hear me talk about on both my shows, Coast to Coast and Dreamland.
And in each issue, I put some of my more poignant thoughts on paper for your perusal.
By the way, After Dark is not one of these little photocopy deals.
You know, three or four sheets of white paper and a staple in the upper left-hand corner.
No, no, no.
This is a full-blown magazine format on slick paper with lots of color throughout.
If you like my radio program, I know you're going to love After Dark.
