	Welcome to Art Bell, somewhere in time.
	Tonight, featuring Coast to Coast AM, from June 1st, 2001.
	From the high desert in the great American Southwest, I bid you all good evening, and or good morning or afternoon, wherever you may be across the cosmos, and it's a big one out there.
	I'm Art Bell.
	And this is the largest live overnight talk program in America by a country mile.
	Actually, the latest to join WPNC-FM.
	Love those FMs.
	In Plymouth, North Carolina, 95.9 on the dial.
	And this is an interesting station because there's an interesting trend going on right now.
	And the rest of the 24 hours a day, this radio station is music.
	But, come 1 a.m.
	in North Carolina, it's talking, and it's talking with us.
	And so, that trend is kind of underway.
	We're moving to a lot of FM stations across the country.
	And by the way, I want to remind all stations and listeners that we pre-feed three hours of each night's program before the live show starts, as in right now.
	And so, those who didn't get to hear the end of the show the previous night, really get a treat.
	And speaking of the previous night, last night, in the final hour, I just opened the international line.
	I said, this is the international hour.
	And we're only going to take international calls.
	Pretty much.
	And we got calls in the final hour from Glasgow, Scotland, Madrid, Spain, Cape Town, South Africa, Oslo, Norway.
	York, England.
	I mean, it was just going all over the place.
	It was a lot of fun.
	Of course, reflecting the fact that we're on the web and you can hear us all over the world.
	Maybe soon, on more than just the Internet.
	But that's something I can't talk about yet.
	Well, let us look at the news, which is not too good.
	Never is.
	An explosion late Friday.
	On a crowded beach front, Tel Aviv has killed 17 people.
	Suicide bomber, including the bomber, who mingled with young people outside a dance hall and then exploded himself.
	At least 86 are wounded.
	This is a terrible bombing and the Israelis, you can depend on this, the Israelis are going to react and it is not going to be pretty when it happens.
	But you can imagine the lights are burning late right now.
	And what they're going to do is being formulated, and it's going to be something swift and hard.
	Nepal's crown prince opened fire in the royal palace of the small Himalayan nation on Friday, shooting to death his parents, the king and the queen, in an apparent dispute over his choice of brides.
	He gunned down six other family members before killing himself.
	Government forces fighting street battles Saturday against Muslim separatists in the Philippines.
	Who took three Americans and 17 others hostage, so it goes on in the Philippines, a lot of violence there.
	In Colombia, check this out, Bogota, Colombia, Tornadoes swept through slums along Columbia's Caribbean coast on Friday, killed three people, injured 200, and left as many as 4,000 homeless.
	Incredible!
	The twister is multiple, flipped over buses, flattened hundreds of zinc and cinder block slum homes.
	It's home to about a million.
	But Bogota, Colombia?
	Tornadoes?
	Not one, but many!
	Part, I say, of our changing weather patterns.
	A lot of violent weather across the U.S.
	today.
	Kentucky authorities bracing themselves this year for West Nile virus.
	For the second year, and some believe this could be the year it arrives.
	In the bluegrass, at least in the birds, the virus is moving westward from New York State, where it surfaced in 99.
	Health personnel are gearing up now to screen mosquitoes and birds for signs of that virus.
	They're worried this is the year it's going to show up.
	There is a housewife named Sharon, Sharon Rollins.
	Uh, who just made herself 20,000 pounds for capturing a UFO on video.
	Stunned Sharon apparently has filmed what appears to be a three mile wide flying saucer hovering above her home for more than six minutes.
	The pulsing craft resembled a disc covered with yellow, orange, and blue lights.
	It had a dark center and sent out light pulses.
	So, I guess we're going to have to find out about this story.
	Excited NASA officials have also asked to examine the tape recorded last October.
	They're said to believe it shows the same type of craft once spotted by their cameras during a space shuttle mission.
	TV producer Robert Kiviot, whose California-based Kiviot Productions paid Sharon said the film will shock people in recent months there have been about 20 UFO sightings like the one that she had so apparently Sharon got herself some good video of a UFO three miles in size and it has been purchased for twenty thousand pounds
	Gonna show up, no doubt, on some show here in the U.S., somewhere.
	It does show a picture of it, sort of.
	Not a very good one.
	It was faxed to me, so not a very good one.
	But this is a big one.
	My, my, my, my.
	Well, look at this.
	A story from Arizona.
	And what does it say?
	Comes from the Arizona Republic, and it says that Arizona is facing the possibility of rolling 20-minute blackouts this summer, according to Governor Jane Hall.
	Her comment during a news conference in Tempe surprised officials for Arizona Public Service Company, one of the state's main utility companies, but a spokesperson for another large utility, the Salt River Project, confirmed that Confirmed that, quote, rotating blackouts, end quote, of up to 20 minutes are possible.
	So, that is a surprise.
	Arizona, like my state, Nevada, has blistering temperatures in the summertime, and a blackout, 20 minutes, I guess, people could probably handle.
	But anything longer than about 20 minutes, and you've got real trouble in Arizona or my state, Nevada or the California desert, in any of these areas, more than that would or could eventually be life-threatening because we get, well it gets, during the middle of summer here it can get to 118.
	And Arizona, a very similar climate, so that would be indeed very dangerous.
	Better keep the power on out here.
	Better keep the power on, but the threats, the news, it doesn't look good to me.
	As we hear about more and more and more possible blackout states, it's obviously now not just California, but threatened all the way to New York.
	This is getting very serious.
	Listen, tonight we are going to play a little bit of Truth or Trash.
	Do you know what Truth or Trash is?
	Probably not.
	It's kind of a unique game in which you are encouraged, basically, to lie.
	To lie.
	Here are the rules for Truth or Trash.
	One, no paranormal stories allowed.
	Because our panel is simply unable to judge paranormal stories.
	It's almost a matter of belief.
	It's like religion.
	How can we possibly know?
	True or false?
	Can't know.
	So, only the weird.
	In other words, the weirder the better.
	Stories of the unbelievable, the strange, But real life stories of some sort.
	You name it, we'll talk about it.
	Except for the paranormal.
	Now, you are allowed, once again, even encouraged, to lie.
	The more creative you can get, the better.
	You're trying to fool a panel of your peers.
	Because we'll take the best three out of five calls.
	After you've told your story, which had better be a good one, one way or the other, and it can be true or false, and then we'll let your peers judge whether it was truth or trash.
	Your job?
	Your job is to make, either tell a true story that is so incredible that they're going to think you're lying, or Tell a story that's incredible and is absolute trash.
	I mean, you can make up anything you want.
	The wilder, the better.
	But your job is to sell it.
	You see?
	You've got to sell the story.
	And the better told, the higher the sales figure is for you in return votes from your compatriots.
	So, that is what we are going to do eventually, uh, this night.
	In the meantime, we'll contemplate blackouts, do a little break, and be right back.

	Looking for the truth? You'll find it on Coast to Coast AM with George Norrie.
	Let me ask you this.
	What is going on to necessitate this so quickly?
	There seems to be a deadline in their brains and they need to get this done.
	They know their whole new world order is inches from going up in flames.
	So they're afraid of the awakening and they know that their collapse is about to take place.
	Because we've been asleep at the switch and we've let incredibly corrupt interests take control of our society.
	Now we take you back to the night of June 1st, 2001, on Art Bell's Somewhere in Time.
	Yes, I'm not going to say anything more about it.
	I'm just going to say, check out my webcam shot at artbell.com.
	See what you think.
	I took that about a half hour ago.
	I'm not going to say any more.
	Check out my webcam shot.
	That's one.
	Two is, there is a new picture of Yeti, my wife's cat.
	I say that because this cat is bonded.
	It absolutely thinks my wife is mom.
	And if she goes outside, it screams its little head off.
	And it spends the rest of the time, most of its little life, running around, burning off calories, much as we're trying to give this little guy.
	I think we've got a couple of pounds on him.
	He's a little better since he arrived.
	He was the one-inch cat, remember?
	Take a look at him now.
	Under what's new, it says, Yeti in a box.
	That's all he does all day.
	He goes in and out of boxes.
	And other strange places that he can get to.
	He's a total kid, you know, and he's kind of a lot of fun.
	So there it is under what's new.
	Yeti in a box.
	All right.
	I'm only going to read one shadow person story tonight, but I do have one.
	I get them by the thousands, particularly, of course, after we've done a show on shadow beings the way we did last night.
	Anyway, here it comes.
	Hi Art, when you initially began discussing the shadow people on your show, I listened with great interest because of a strange visitation I experienced back in December of 99, which has bothered me somewhat ever since.
	Meanwhile, the pictures and descriptions of the shadow people on your show and site didn't quite match up with my experience.
	There were similarities, but also critical differences.
	I've post-pondered whether or not This was the same sort of phenomenon.
	However, reading the newest Shadow Person email on your site gave me a shudder of recognition.
	The beings, things, whatever does one call them, I saw back in December of 99 were not all black, but rather possessed a black background with what can only be described as a pixel-like coloration.
	Many hues, many in hues of bright magenta, violet, silver, gray, blue, and gold, kind of lightly glowing.
	There were two of them.
	One was quite tall, at least six feet.
	The other, around half the size.
	They came into my bedroom, through the wall, next to one of the windows, as my dogs, two yellow labs, and I were sitting down, settling down to sleep.
	My husband was out of town at the time.
	I was letting the dogs sleep up on the bed with me.
	There were no lights on, but the moon was bright and shone through the blinds.
	As the beings entered the room, My dogs raised their heads and stared straight at them, but didn't make a sound, which is unusual since they're usually bark-first, ask-questions-later types.
	My dogs did not seem to be afraid, and the female actually put her head down and closed her eyes, almost as if she was bored.
	The male had his ears perked up and turned his head, watching intently as the beings moved, walked, question mark, Toward the bed.
	They seemed to be holding hands.
	As they stopped next to the bed, I heard a voice in my head say very strongly, do not be afraid.
	I wasn't certain whether it was a telepathic message from the beings or not, but said aloud, well, I'm not even sure what you are, so why should I be afraid?
	I felt really stupid as soon as I said it, I mean, people are usually more afraid of what they don't know than what they do.
	The beings just stood there for a few moments, couldn't make out any eyes or features, just an outline with those glowing pixel colors.
	They seemed to exchange glances, kind of shrug their shoulders, and moved out the bedroom door.
	It had been a long day, and I was very tired, so that's probably why I just rolled over and went to sleep.
	But, it troubled me the next morning, and has ever since.
	By the way, I'm an electronic freak, plus I work online and stare at the computer monitor 12 plus hours a day.
	Please don't use my name on it.
	Of course not.
	So, there you have it.
	Do not be afraid.
	Hey, that had really worked for me.
	The only part of the story that I would find, and I think a jury would find unbelievable, is the rolled over and went to sleep part.
	If something, a pair of somethings, looking like that, pixelated in the colors of the rainbow, walked up to my bed and said, do not be afraid, there'd be no problem because I'd be dead.
	I mean, deader than a doornail.
	I would have had a heart attack.
	So, not yet.
	Well, I'm telling you.
	These computers, these computers are running on the ragged edge.
	There's absolutely no reason for what just happened, nor the premature clap of thunder, either.
	I won't stand for much more of this.
	You machine... Are you machines listening?
	Well, alright.
	I've got one other story that I'm gonna cut a hold.
	This lady wrote me about, uh, her cat, and I thought I had a cat tale.
	You wanna hear what this lady's got?
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Hi, Art.
	I wanted to try that Truth or Trash, is that what you call it?
	That's what I call it, yes.
	Am I ever ready for that?
	Well... Or is it too early?
	I don't know.
	I'll show you how I do the screening process here, alright?
	Sure.
	Since I picked you up cold.
	I screened for this because I need really, and I want really good stories.
	I've got a good one.
	High class stories.
	Gotcha.
	Really?
	Understood.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Go ahead and start.
	This was early 1945.
	My father was in the Air Force.
	He was based on Tinian Island in the Marianas.
	Right.
	At that time, you know, the United States was sending a lot of B-29s towards Japan.
	And his job pertained to mechanics with the B-29s.
	He was based on the strip there.
	At about 11 o'clock one morning, after they had just arrived there maybe a week or so, a Japanese fighter plane came in very low towards Tinian and circled with its landing gear down.
	There were some shots fired at it, but because of its attitude, they let it come in.
	As it approached the airfield, Came in.
	Came to a complete halt.
	They ran up to the aircraft.
	The pilot was dead inside with a broken neck.
	A broken neck?
	He had a broken neck.
	No bullet wounds.
	Nothing.
	How did he land the aircraft?
	There was no crack up.
	At all.
	The plane was in perfect condition.
	The plane landed normally?
	The plane landed normally.
	Um, well... Taxied.
	Stopped.
	Engine stopped.
	It freaked all those guys out.
	And then, when they examined him, they found he had a broken neck.
	He had it broken.
	Was he cold?
	Dead cold?
	Had he been dead for a while, do you know?
	I don't know that one.
	Alright, listen, hold on.
	I'm going to think about this during my break, alright?
	Sure.
	Okay, stay right there.
	Truth or Trash?
	That's the name of the game.
	What do you think of this story?
	The question is how he broke his neck.
	The real question is, do you believe what that fellow just told us?
	Could it possibly be true?
	You're listening to ArcBell, somewhere in time.
	tonight featuring a replay of coast to coast am from june first two thousand
	one the
	the the
	You are.
	Oh Saw you from my window
	Why not sit the beat Gonna sit by your doorstep
	So that I can be Pretty blue eyes
	Please come up to me So I can tell you
	What I have to say That I love you
	Love you Pretty blue eyes
	Saw you from my window My heart sits the beat
	Don't you?
	You're listening to Art Bell, somewhere in time, on Premier Radio Networks.
	Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from June 1st, 2001.
	This is one of the happier songs around, I think.
	Don't you?
	Listen, everybody, the truth or trash light is lit.
	That's what we're going to do, truth or trash.
	And we have begun with a story of Tinian, back in wartime.
	And the island of Tinian out in the Pacific, where a Japanese plane with its wheels down was circling the island, which is not a friendly thing to do back then.
	And they shot out a few times.
	The plane landed, taxied, engine off.
	They went and checked the pilot.
	And he had a broken neck.
	Does that about sum it up, sir?
	Yes, it does.
	Uh-huh.
	So, don't tell us right now, you said, well, guess how the neck, you said, do you know how the neck got broken?
	Right now, I don't care.
	I'm going to now go to a jury and find out whether they think this is truth or trash, all right?
	Understood.
	All right, let's see how it works here.
	In fact, put him on hold, and here we go.
	All right, East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Do you think that Tinian... Was that Tinian Truth or Tinian Trash?
	Well, I believe it's true.
	I really do.
	All right, one for truth.
	Thank you very much.
	Wildcard Line, you are on the air.
	Truth or Trash?
	Hi.
	Hi.
	So, truth or trash for the story?
	As far as, I mean...
	It very well could be truth.
	I'm trying to get through, though.
	I know, but you're not.
	You're a jury right now.
	That's all you are.
	I apologize.
	You've got a call.
	That's all right.
	You say you lead toward truth, huh?
	I can believe it.
	I don't really have any basis on it.
	Actually, I was trying to get through to tell you a really good story.
	I know you were.
	You'll have to get back with me to do that.
	Um, first time caller line, you're on the air.
	Truth or trash?
	That's truth.
	You really think it's true?
	I do.
	Alright, that's... I called about something completely different.
	I understand, everybody did, but when you're on a jury, that's all you get to say.
	Alright, uh, wildcard line, uh, you're on the air.
	The Tinian, truth or trash story?
	What do you think?
	Uh, I think, I think it's telling the truth.
	You think it's the truth?
	Wow.
	Alright, well I went further than I had to.
	That's four for the truth.
	Let's go back and find out, shall we?
	All right, you're back on the air again.
	Is that a true story?
	Yes, it is, Eric.
	Well, you didn't fool anybody.
	Evidently.
	You told it too well.
	Oh, damn it.
	So, now you have to know more.
	It's not, quote, documented.
	I can't find it in military records, but there's a heck of a bunch of people in that outfit who swear to it.
	Well, all right, so how did he get his neck broken?
	No one knows.
	No one knows.
	No one that I've spoken with, they don't have a clue.
	Alright, so it's a true story, huh?
	Yeah.
	Well, you didn't fool them.
	That's one for the jury.
	Understood, buddy.
	Alright, thanks.
	You bet.
	Take care.
	Alright, so you get the idea.
	If anybody out there has a sensational story, and he was on the right track there, definitely, with his story.
	How could that be?
	How could a guy have a broken neck and land a plane?
	I just don't think you could do it.
	He was dead with a broken neck when the engine, just shortly after the engine went off.
	And yet he claims that many people have told this story, and it's apparently a true story from the Second World War.
	Okay, we'll be right back.
	Now we take you back to the night of June 1st, 2001, on Art Bell's Somewhere in Time.
	Now playing on ArtBell.com Now playing on ArtBell.com
	Now playing on ArtBell.com you
	you Now again, the rules for truth or trash.
	No paranormal stories because we cannot possibly judge those.
	Only weird real life stories of the unbelievable and possibly even the great lie.
	Doesn't matter.
	You can tell giant lies here if you want to.
	The whole point is to try and fool the jury of your peers, which the last man didn't even begin to do.
	I took four votes, one more than I should have, and they all pegged it as true.
	How I don't know and why I don't know.
	So, uh, we'll go fishing for another good story here.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hello, Art.
	This is Mike from Kuiper.
	Yes, Mike.
	Yeah, I got an alien abduction story.
	No, I appreciate it, Mike, but see, you, that's against the rules.
	The rules are no paranormal stories.
	Only real-life weird stories.
	The weirder, the more unbelievable, the better.
	It can even be a lie.
	But it can't be about the paranormal.
	Too hard for a jury to judge.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Now you're on the air.
	Hello there.
	Yes, Mr. Bell?
	Yes.
	My name is Tom Quam from Redding, California.
	Yes, sir.
	Talking from Real Talk Show.
	Uh, anyway, I got a good one.
	Uh, well, your radio's on, first of all.
	Okay.
	Turn that radio off.
	Gotta get that radio off.
	It's off.
	Number two, it can't be about the paranormal.
	Yes, sir.
	It's not.
	Let's hear it.
	Okay.
	Me and my fiancé, about three months ago, we were, you know, we were camping up there around Lake Shasta.
	We were about like a half a mile away and away from the lake.
	It was like maybe midnight.
	Yes.
	And we're pulling around in the tent.
	All of a sudden we heard a noise out there and we didn't, you know, well, you know, I got scared and she got scared, but we had to go out and check and see what it was.
	We went out, we didn't see nothing.
	And we turned the flashlight on and there was Bigfoot just sitting there.
	That's a paranormal story, sir.
	That's a paranormal story?
	Yes, Bigfoot is, well, I mean, it's likely the paranormal, so I'm going to disqualify.
	See, this is the kind of thing people can't really judge.
	Did he see it?
	Didn't he see it?
	How can we judge it?
	First time caller on the line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Art, hi.
	Hello.
	Have you ever heard of a book called Air Combat for the 80s, Red Flag?
	Operation, what is that?
	Operation Red Flag, you mean?
	It's called Red Flag Air Combat for the 80s by Michael Skinner.
	We have an Operation Red Flag out here at Nellis usually every year.
	Yes, this book is replete with pictures of the Nellis base.
	In fact, it has pictures of our favorite base that doesn't exist.
	Area 51?
	Yeah.
	Now, what I want to point out is something... Listen, I'll tell you a little secret, sir.
	Yes?
	You can take a commercial flight from Las Vegas to San Francisco.
	And, uh, about half the time, when you do, uh, the pilot will point out, uh, the right side of the aircraft, folks, over there, the infamous Area 51.
	I have heard that.
	Yeah.
	Yes, I've heard that.
	That's true.
	There's a, there's a passage in this book in, um, in, uh, and I'm fishing for the, for the title of the chapter, which I guess doesn't, oh, it's called F.A.M.
	HOP.
	F.A.M.
	stands for Familiarization Ride, uh, over, over the area.
	But just to cut to the chase, it starts describing practices, exercises that are carried out on the military operating areas.
	This is a sentence from the book that I just found extremely distressing.
	It says, actual live bombing is done only on the numbered ranges.
	And they give you a map with the numbered ranges.
	Says, dropping live ordnance on the live citizens underneath the military operating areas or on the dreamland munchkins is not done.
	What in the world is this man talking about?
	The dreamland munchkins?
	Yes.
	I've tracked him down.
	I emailed him.
	He does not respond to me.
	You know, let me tell you a little secret.
	We have an operation going on out here right now.
	Over my valley, right now, night time, secret operation.
	There are planes out there right now, silent ones, ones you can hear, weird ones doing weird things right now.
	And during the day, they drop ordnance out there.
	And the house goes boom!
	My parents live at the northeast corner of Las Vegas.
	I come out about every four months and visit.
	I do nothing but ride around that area.
	I've been up to Angel Peak, which is...
	Yeah, it overlooks the entire region.
	If you get a nice clear day, you can pretty much see everything with a powerful telescope or even some binoculars.
	Well, thank you very much.
	I wish that I had my... I've got an outside camera.
	I've got a third generation night vision camera hooked up to a video camera.
	And I really should get it around to the other side of the house so I can point south because that's where you can see the operation going on along the ridgeline.
	And I really should have it cooking tonight, shouldn't I?
	But it's on the wrong side of the house.
	Mounted on the wrong side of the house right now.
	At any rate, onward.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Yes.
	Hello.
	Yes.
	Shall we dance?
	Hello.
	And now we've done this three times already.
	Hello.
	Yes, sir.
	Don't call me sir.
	I'm not a sir.
	Now turn your radio off.
	Sorry about that.
	Are you still doing your stories?
	No, you're doing the stories.
	I'm just listening.
	Okay.
	Do you have one?
	Yes, I think I have a pretty good one.
	Let's... I hope you don't classify it as paranormal.
	Well, that probably means I will then.
	Well... Does it involve a ghost?
	A shadow person?
	Or... No, I was about five, six years old.
	Yes.
	And I was out playing in my garage at my home.
	Yes.
	And there was a storm coming in.
	Yes.
	And it was kind of dark clouds and everything.
	Yes.
	And I found something very strange happened.
	Let me give you a little drop.
	That's the storm.
	That kind of storm.
	Anyway.
	And I saw this face in the sky.
	It was very, very weird.
	This is already a paranormal story.
	You think so?
	Yeah, of course.
	Face in the sky?
	Come on, that's paranormal all the way.
	Listen, let me instruct all of you now again.
	The reason we can't take these is obvious.
	There is no way whether I can ask a panel of people whether this man saw a face in the sky, no matter how the story may proceed from there.
	We've got to hold this to non-paranormal.
	As hard as that is for y'all, we've got to hold it to the non-paranormal arena.
	First time caller on the line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hi, Howard.
	How are you?
	Um, okay.
	And you're in a big truck.
	I'm in a big truck.
	Here, this is for you.
	I love that.
	How you doing?
	First time we're getting through here?
	Yes, sir.
	Alright.
	In Valparaiso, Indiana, the police were called to a motel.
	Inside the motel room, they found blood on the sheets and feathers everywhere.
	Now, when they found the guy that had rented the hotel room, he finally admitted to plucking the feathers from a chicken and having his way with the chicken.
	I am not about to ask a group of people about that.
	I just am not going to do it.
	Not a chance.
	And furthermore, I don't even want to know the answer to it.
	Goodbye.
	I don't even want to know.
	I really don't.
	I mean, I'm just beginning my weekend here now, and that could ruin my whole weekend.
	So, away with you.
	Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
	Extinguish your radio immediately.
	It is extinguished, Mr. Bell.
	Thank you.
	Now, do you have a story?
	Yes, I do.
	Is it a good one outside the world of the paranormal?
	Absolutely.
	And it doesn't involve chickens.
	Thank you.
	Alright, let's hear it.
	I was stationed at Altus Air Force Base, working there as a firefighter in the Air Force, when one day, a full-bird colonel came into the fire department, sat us all down, and said, gentlemen, we have a situation.
	We may or may not be getting an in-flight emergency at this base that would be an off-base emergency.
	It won't be something on the base, it'll be definitely off-base.
	Okay, at this point we're all kind of looking at each other going, hmm, okay, this guy knows this stuff beforehand.
	Anyway, so he says, when you get this call, if you get this call, and you go there, you're going to find that the ship or the craft does not look Normal.
	But don't worry, there will be human pilots.
	So go ahead and perform a normal rescue.
	Oh, by the way, you're not allowed to tell anybody about this.
	Oh, by the way?
	Yeah.
	Usually it's, uh, you know, blood.
	Give blood.
	Right, right.
	Oh, this wasn't Colonel Sanders, right?
	No, it was not Colonel Sanders.
	So, he instructed, uh, this, this colonel instructed these, uh, these what, pilots?
	No, firefighters.
	Firefighters.
	Crash, crash, fire and rescue.
	That it would be an unusual ship, but there would be humans.
	Right.
	This was back in, uh, 1983.
	And, okay, give me the rest of the story.
	What happened?
	Well, basically, that That's it.
	We never did get an in-flight emergency on it.
	Oh, I see.
	You know, but, uh... It never happened.
	Huh?
	It never actually happened.
	No.
	No, but the colonel did show up.
	Uh, he came back?
	No, I mean, he, you know... Oh, you mean he showed up and gave his little speech?
	Right, right.
	Uh-huh.
	Alright, well, I think I will choose not to submit that one.
	That's, that is also pretty tough for a jury.
	Pretty tough.
	I mean, how can we really know?
	I guess that's almost going to be true of anything, but the Tinian one was a good example for you all.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	Well, would have been.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Unbelievable.
	Possibly.
	This is unbelievable.
	Well, there are a lot of unbelievable things that happen in life.
	There is.
	One second.
	I'm going to have to go to my cordless.
	Hold on.
	Why are you going to your cordless?
	Because I'm in the wrong room.
	I need to go into my other room.
	My name is Steve.
	I'm calling from Kauai.
	Kauai.
	Okay, Steve.
	I have a story to tell.
	I'm listening.
	I was listening to your show a couple of weeks ago.
	Yes.
	And Dr. Kaku, is that his name?
	Correct?
	Dr. Kaku, yes.
	Would it be considered his love child, his theory of everything?
	No, that's his quest.
	That's his quest.
	In other words, Einstein left us with the theory of everything yet to find, and it is his quest as well.
	Right.
	Well, my heart is racing right now, and I have an incredible story to tell, and it could take a long time.
	Well, I can't give you a long time.
	Okay.
	I can lay it out for you right now.
	The theory... I have come across an equation of just three numbers.
	Yes.
	He said it could be about an inch long.
	Yeah, he said that.
	That's about what it is.
	Are you telling us you have come up with the theory of everything?
	That's where we're going here, right?
	Well, what do you think that means, Art?
	What do I think the theory of everything means?
	What do you think I've been through to discover the theory of everything?
	A black hole.
	Absolutely.
	Oh, I'm right?
	Yep.
	I feel like I've been through a black hole.
	I've maintained a full-time job and starting a business and a relationship with my beautiful
	wife.
	Well, that sounds stressful perhaps, but not black holes.
	But it's handleable, and the reason it's so hard to solve...
	Well, but a black hole would rip your atoms to pieces, sir.
	You would now be scattered to the universe as is light.
	That's true.
	In this third dimensional world, I never went through a black hole.
	Okay?
	I listen to your shows and I hear what goes on, and everybody has phenomenon happening
	in their lives.
	It's pretty intense at this time in our lives.
	I'm just going to put this out on the air and let the physicists and scientists and everything tear it up.
	Lay it on us.
	Analytically, if you look at it from the left side of your brain, it's 1 plus 1 equals 8.
	That's how easy it is.
	One plus one equals eight.
	Yeah, but now...
	Probably not too easy to explain though, huh?
	It would take me hours and hours and hours and possibly days.
	Possibly...
	I just can't devote that kind of time to it.
	Not right now, because I have nothing to sell.
	I haven't written a book and...
	Not yet, anyways.
	Well, maybe...
	And I can't wait to talk to Dr. Cockoo because I feel he's the one.
	Maybe Dr. Cockoo's listening to the radio right now.
	And maybe like 15 seconds after you said 1 plus 1 equals 80 he went, Oh my God!
	The face of God!
	I'm touching the face of God!
	Let's look at it like this now.
	We have one more way to look.
	We have actually two more ways to look at it.
	I'll tell you what.
	What's that?
	I'm willing to fish in the audience and see if they think you found the solution to everything.
	Are you going to keep me on the line?
	Yeah.
	Okay, because my AM doesn't work.
	I'm out here in the middle of the ocean.
	Wait a minute.
	You're in the middle of the ocean?
	Yeah, in my house.
	I don't get AM very well.
	Let's stay with the ocean for a moment.
	Why are you on the middle of the ocean?
	I'm on an island in the middle of the ocean.
	On an island?
	Yeah.
	I am on an island in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by water, pure energy.
	I see pure energy all around me.
	I see free energy, I see free thinking, and I see free love everywhere.
	Free love?
	Yeah, basically.
	Is that what you get when you unravel the theory of everything?
	I believe so, and at this point I have no formal education other than a high school diploma, and I was always a failure in school.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Probably maintained a 1.0 grade average throughout my whole school was a dog on the saying a person like yourself
	coming up with this And I'm going to put the icing on the cake right here
	I surf surfing is my life And it's my love and that's where I'm coming from and all
	my friends are surfers and I have scientists friends And I have well you know what?
	This is going to surprise you.
	Yeah.
	I mean, it will.
	But I always thought somewhere... God is a surfer.
	No, no, not at all.
	I actually... I thought that the theory of everything probably would come from a surfer.
	Well, you're absolutely right, because I don't... I can't claim... Listen, I think we're going to hold it right there.
	1 plus 1 equals 8.
	Oh my God!
	That's it?
	You're listening to Art Bell, somewhere in time on Premier Radio Networks.
	Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from June 1st, 2001.
	I'll find some crowded avenue.

	She'd be mine eternally And the reasoning of his latest flame
	Though I smiled at tears inside a world of burning I wished them more pain Premier Radio Networks presents Art Bell's Somewhere Inside.
	Tonight's program originally aired June 1st, 2001.
	The truth or trash light is lit.
	Now, listen to me.
	Only the best stories, the choices stories, get submitted to a jury.
	All the others are ejected.
	And I'll be the judge of that.
	I'm a very harsh judge.
	No paranormal stories!
	Only the weird, the weirder, the better stories of the unbelievable, the incredible.
	Now, you are, on the positive side, allowed to lie.
	In fact, even encouraged to lie.
	And you must do it well, for you are trying to impress a jury of your peers, at least three out of five.
	That's your job.
	To impress them sufficiently, that even though it's a very weird story, they buy it hook, line, and sinker.
	So, here we go.
	We'll try again.
	You're on the air from where are you calling, pray tell?
	From New Orleans, Louisiana.
	New Orleans, home of the next Super Bowl.
	Yes, that's right.
	And I will be there.
	All good.
	All right.
	I am coming to your city, finally.
	I've been wanting to do that for so long.
	You have a story for us, don't you?
	What is your first name?
	Bob.
	Bob.
	Okay, now this happened quite a number of years ago.
	I was in the fifth or sixth grade, and I was in class, and we were about to sit down.
	We'd been standing up for some reason.
	I don't know what.
	And the kid behind me thought he played a trick on me, and you know those old desks where the seat comes up?
	Oh, yes.
	Okay, so the kid behind me, he puts the seat up.
	I don't know this, and I sit down.
	I sit down pretty hard like I usually do.
	And boy, I sat right on the edge of that seat, and it hurt like hell.
	Oh, I bet it did.
	But I didn't want the kid to know it.
	I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing.
	So I just put the seat down, sat down, and the pain got so bad I put my head down on the desk and passed out.
	The next thing I knew, I came to, could have been maybe five, ten minutes later, I think it was ten minutes later, I was in a totally different place in the classroom, and everybody was in hysterics.
	And I was told by some kids as we were leaving that that was a great act, that I did a great show.
	You put on a great show.
	Right.
	I didn't have a nerve to say, well, what did I do?
	Because I didn't want them to think that I knew what I was doing.
	So I just kept my mouth shut about it.
	So years later, I told a friend about this.
	He said, well, look, maybe we've got something here.
	He said, I could give you a good swift kick in the ass.
	You go into your acme, we can book the thing.
	well nobody has no you know so we did this and i would come up with that would
	be behind a partition of the sort of current something you know i don't know
	what it would be that was getting kicked and then i would pass out from the pain and i would be
	going to the fact and then you would you would do this actor
	what on a weekly night Nightly?
	Oh, sometimes three times a week.
	Sometimes it would be more often than not.
	Sometimes it would be, I wouldn't know, maybe once a month or so.
	So you took your ass kicking to get an act on the road?
	Right, and we made a lot of money, and he would never tell me what I did, because he was afraid.
	He said, look, he was afraid I might leave the act, because he knew it was getting painful.
	He said, look, I'll tell you later, just keep doing the act.
	So you never actually... He drowned in an accident.
	I never found out what happened.
	Oh, my God.
	It would have gotten so painful and some of the nerves were damaged.
	I tried it one more time and it didn't work anymore, so I'll never know what I did.
	I would imagine that there was probably permanent damage to your posterior.
	I would think so.
	It hurt.
	Where did they have to kick you?
	Right where the butt meets the spine there?
	It was right in that, wherever that spot was.
	We had to experiment a little bit.
	We found the right spot.
	It was wherever that the edge of that seat had hit me when I was in the 5th or 6th grade.
	He found that.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Just right there at the bottom of the spine.
	And the pain would be terrific, and then I'd pass out, and I'd go into some kind of an accident.
	And the people would love it.
	Bob, you qualify.
	Hold it right there.
	Just hold it right there.
	I'm putting you on hold.
	And we will definitely toss this one to a panel.
	Uh, kick in the ass story.
	In fact, career, what do you think?
	Truth or trash?
	Uh, trash.
	Trash, alright.
	That's one for trash.
	That was well told, though.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	What do you think, truth or trash?
	Hello?
	Goodbye.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	What do you think, truth or trash?
	I think that's trash.
	Trash.
	That's two for trash.
	One more, and that's it.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Truth or trash?
	Hello.
	Hello.
	Yes, speak.
	Truth or dare?
	I would absolutely say it'd have to be Trash.
	Trash.
	That's three for Trash.
	Well, all right.
	Thank you very much.
	And I'll let people who call even to be on the jury now that I think about it.
	If you want to give your name and location, that's fair for being on the jury.
	All right.
	They have trashed you big time, sir.
	Three votes in a row out of five for Trash.
	So, Bob, what is it?
	The first part is true.
	You mean like if you're kicked in the butt there?
	No, the first, but when I sat down on that desk, I passed out, and when I came to, I was in a different part of the classroom.
	Everybody was laughing hysterically.
	I put on some kind of an act, and to this day, I'll never know what it was, because I didn't want to ask anybody, what did I do?
	Because they'd say, what, are you crazy?
	You know what you did.
	So the second half of the story.
	The second half is totally a lie.
	A lie.
	Well, they got you, Bob.
	Thanks.
	I think, you know, the first part might have gone.
	Turning it into a career probably fouled it in the minds of many out there.
	But it is an interesting story.
	Wonder what he did.
	Oh, well.
	Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hi, Art.
	Hi.
	I have a story.
	A story, alright.
	Is your radio off?
	It's off.
	Okay.
	Is your story non-paranormal?
	Oh, yes.
	Well, lay it on me.
	Well, wait a minute.
	What is your first name?
	My name is Nita.
	Nita?
	Nita.
	N-I-T-A.
	Okay, got it.
	Nita.
	Nice name.
	I'm in Bellevue, Ohio.
	Right.
	And last September, this girl had a car for sale.
	And this lady called her to see about buying her car.
	And the girl that had the car for sale was Pregnant and expecting her baby anytime.
	Yeah.
	So she called her husband at work and told him that this lady was coming by to see about her car.
	Right.
	So, uh, he came home from work and his wife wasn't around.
	Wasn't there?
	And the door was open.
	The car was gone.
	And her purse was gone.
	Well, he would presume she was out.
	No, he called the police.
	And they found a car in a parking lot.
	And they searched for about two weeks for her.
	And the police finally traced the phone call from the lady's cell phone.
	And they went to the lady's door.
	And the lady had a newborn baby.
	And she had told everybody that she had had this baby.
	And what she had done was kill the mother of this child due to a caesarean section.
	Buried the mother of the child in the garage and kept her baby.
	Oh my God.
	And her husband, when the police went into the bedroom to see the woman that had, that she had the baby, she blew her brains out.
	Oh, this just gets cheerier by the second.
	So the woman's husband that the woman killed, we stopped and he's raising the baby and it's beautiful it's
	a little more and then named him after
	oscar well i i i i'm not going to submit oscar story to uh...
	that i guess it's oscar story right he's the survivor to a jury that was horrible
	and i have a feeling absolutely true Now we take you back to the night of June 1st, 2001, on Art
	Bell's Somewhere in Time.
	The International Line, you're on the air, hello.
	Hi Art, this is Carla from Twinsburg, Ohio.
	Oh, I'm afraid I can't take it on this line, dear.
	This is the international line.
	I have no idea how you made it onto that, but I guess the phones are going nuts.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hello, Art.
	Yes.
	Good evening.
	Good evening.
	Good.
	I've got one for you.
	All right, I am listening.
	Yeah, okay, this one's true.
	Uh, you may have heard of it, I hope you haven't.
	No, no, no.
	Huh?
	No, stop.
	Stop, don't say true.
	You just screwed it up.
	Oh, well maybe it isn't true.
	I could be lying.
	No, you've already... I could be.
	Well... We'll have to determine.
	Well, alright, let me hear it.
	Alright, absolute confirmation that Roosevelt knew that Pearl Harbor was going to be attacked.
	No, that's, that's, you know what that is?
	That's somewhere in between Urban legend and arguable, conspiracy-minded trash.
	Now, I'll get a lot of argument, and I don't really want to get it tonight because that's not what we're doing.
	Did Roosevelt know?
	Didn't Roosevelt know?
	I've heard this argument for years and years and years.
	Boring, boring, boring.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Now you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Um, hi.
	Hi.
	I got you a three.
	Yes, you do.
	Okay, um, this isn't, like, really paranormal or anything, but, um... Well, why are you qualifying it that way?
	Because it's about something that somebody might say is spiritual.
	No, can't take those either.
	Uh, I appreciate your, uh, call, but we're after only truth or trash stories, and only the best survive.
	First time caller on the line, you're on the air.
	Hi, Art.
	Hello.
	This is Linda in Bellevue.
	Hi, Linda.
	I have a story that happened to me back in the 70s.
	I was in my, well, close to 20 years old.
	Musician traveling and I was going from North Texas to, uh, up to Lawton, Oklahoma.
	And it was a really nice night.
	I just left one gig and I was heading to an after hours place to play.
	And it was, the moon wasn't full, but it was pretty bad.
	It was about a half moon.
	And I noticed there was an eclipse happening as I'm driving along.
	Yes.
	The moon is slowly having bigger and bigger bites taken out.
	Anyway, I watched it eclipse on my way, and I kept watching it, and it started to eclipse a second time, right after that.
	And I stopped the car and got out and just watched this eclipse a second time.
	And I've asked so many people if they've ever seen anything like that.
	A double eclipse.
	A double eclipse, and I swear, Art, I just couldn't figure it out.
	I sat and watched that bloody eclipse again.
	Well, okay, a very interesting story, but not one that I will send to a jury.
	I will let people comment on that if they want to.
	Two eclipses.
	It sounded as though she certainly believed exactly what she was saying.
	Not really a truth or trash story, but a very interesting story.
	Why would the moon How could the moon?
	Actually, it couldn't, could it?
	That really can't happen, can it?
	A wildcard line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hello, sir.
	I have a story for you.
	Oh?
	Okay, do you want to know where I'm listening from or anything, or should I cut right to the business?
	Well, give me your first name.
	I'm Nate.
	Nate, and where are you?
	I'm in Pullman, Washington.
	Pullman, all right.
	Okay, Nate, fire away.
	Okay, I used to be from Massachusetts.
	I worked in Harvard Square.
	I would take the Red Line, which is a subway.
	I take it every day from work to South Station, where I would take a commuter rail out of the city to a suburb to my home.
	Well, one night... Are you familiar with the book, Clouds of Conspiracy?
	No.
	Well, you should check that out.
	It's about the CIA doing interesting tests on the public.
	Oh, yes.
	This night, I got on the train, and I was waiting in the Harvard station, and there was a train pulled up.
	There weren't very many people waiting for this train, and well, MBTA, the Mass Bay Transportation Authority police, which are also the state police, got off the train and milled around, stood outside the doors as if they were looking for somebody that they were looking for.
	A number of people got off the train, passengers that were leaving, and a number of them milled around, and the more I noticed, it seemed that they were undercover police officers or something, and I thought that something funny was going on.
	So it was a gaggle of cops?
	Well, yeah, but it was sketchy.
	They were like, they were the plainclothes, you know, and then there were the uniformed police officers.
	Men in blue?
	Then there were like men in like sports coats trying desperately not to look like federal agents, but that's what they look like.
	They always have sunglasses.
	Exactly.
	Well, they didn't have sunglasses, but anyway.
	So I got on the train, and it going southbound or south station usually takes, oh, five minutes to get to the central square stop.
	Well, this train was going just incredibly slow.
	Incredibly slow.
	And then I started to notice that the air on this train felt Just unbearable.
	Like, it always is in the subway, but this was bad.
	I mean, I felt clammy.
	I could almost feel myself going pale.
	Yes.
	I was getting clammy.
	Yes.
	Um, I noticed that all, a lot of the other people on the train were, like, really fidgety.
	You might have gotten this email just recently, too, but, uh, anyway, so to go on, they got real fidgety, pale-looking.
	A woman, an older woman, started to cough and gag and, uh, like, was shaking, trembling to the point that one of The MBTA police came over to her and was, like, sitting with her, talking to her, and she'd say, oh, I'm okay, I'm okay.
	Well, when I got off the train, I noticed, well, they said that the train is very slow.
	It will be taken out of service at the next stop, which ended up taking 15 minutes for a usual five-minute ride, okay?
	And I just, then, when they got everybody off the train, the police officers helped the old lady off, Got her on a bench, the MBTA police stayed with her, the plane closed, cops got back on the train, and then it sped off.
	And I mean sped off.
	Yes.
	Where supposedly this train was disabled, didn't even work.
	Sped off.
	And here the thing is flying out of the station.
	Well, I'm thinking that possibly this was some kind of weird chemical test, because I mean, I felt awful.
	It took me hours.
	But there's no way a jury can really judge that.
	Because you don't even know yourself.
	Okay, sorry to bother you.
	You see what I'm saying?
	Yeah, um, check our club.
	And I'm not a man.
	Okay, sir.
	Not even close to a man.
	Uh, not a sir either.
	Uh, East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hey, alright, how you doing?
	Okay.
	I got a great truth, uh, trash story for you.
	Let's hear it.
	Alright.
	It is definitely not paranormal.
	I was about seven years old.
	I'm a little nervous, I'm sorry.
	When I was about seven years old, I lived most of my young life on a farm.
	I'm back in Virginia.
	My name is Clifford.
	I lived on a rather large farm, along with my grandpa and my uncles.
	We, my daddy and my brother and I, my mother, we lived on one end of the farm and my uncles, they lived, and my grandpa lived on the other end of the farm.
	Yes.
	And we would, in order to get to visit them, we'd take the shortcut through the woods.
	But we had never taken that shortcut through those woods at night.
	So one night my daddy decided he wanted to go visit my grandpa and my uncles, and he gathered us up.
	Yes.
	and proceeded to walk through the shortcut through the woods toward my grandpa's house.
	Now the moon was very pretty that night.
	It was lit up and it was facing us as we walked through the path.
	And it was in fall, so you know there's dry leaves on the ground and it was really pretty.
	Yes.
	Well, we don't have a lot of time now, so.
	Okay, I'm trying to get to the point real quick.
	We're about to get to it.
	Well what happens is, as we go through the path, up in front of us there's this big black
	got you like a big old bag you know stand up with it but with the arms out you know
	Well, my dad speaks to it, but it doesn't say anything to him.
	He speaks to it again, but it doesn't say nothing to him.
	So my dad quotes a few adjectives, tells him that if you don't talk to him, you're going to get out of the pass because my family's coming through.
	Well, my dad just draws back, gets one of these runs on him, you know?
	And he hits that thing.
	big old black object with his hands and arms hanging out really hard and hit it with a
	real loud thump.
	You know you hear that boom.
	Well my pop he just falls back on the ground half way knocked out.
	It looked like he was laying there half unconscious and you could just barely hear him moaning
	and groaning.
	My mama she's trying to holler, Daddy his name was Ervett, Ervett you ok?
	You know and he doesn't say anything he's just laying there moaning.
	Mama said well mom makes me and my brother we kind of nervous and scared we don't want
	to think.
	My mama said it makes us kind of calm and like well heck if Ervett ain't got him ain't
	nothing I can do to get him.
	So she walks on over there and that's a big old black object he ain't saying nothing and
	everything and she leans over and looks at daddy and daddy he's coming and he starts
	cutting and coming too and he looks up at mama and his first words come out of his mouth
	is did we get him?
	You know what, he hit hard.
	It was a stump.
	It was about a six or seven foot stump.
	Knocked him out just about cold!
	And my mama and dad and we... Listen, listen, sir.
	Hold on.
	Just hold on, please.
	Without submitting that to a jury, I'm just going to guess.
	And I'm going to say... I'm going to say...
	Truth.
	Definitely the truth.
	It is the truth?
	Definitely the truth, and a little more too.
	My mom and daddy walked through those woods.
	The rest of the way through them was about another thousand yards.
	My mom and daddy were just laughing.
	You could hear them all the way through the woods laughing at that thing.
	Laughing.
	The next day, my next day, my daddy went back down where that tree trunk was.
	And he, believe me, he cut it down.
	Knocked him out.
	Well, he certainly would never live it down.
	Knocked out.
	Did we get it?
	All right, sir.
	Thank you.
	Oh, I enjoy your show, Mark.
	You help me.
	I've been listening to you now for almost four years.
	I enjoy it great.
	Thank you, sir.
	I gotta go.

	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Hello, what is your first name, please?
	Hi, this is Tom Cullen from Streamwood, Illinois.
	Tom, all right.
	WLS.
	WLS Chicago, of course.
	I got a good story for ya.
	Alright, let's hear it.
	Okay.
	This happened a long time ago when I was just a kid.
	But, uh, my grandparents took me up to this lake that they used to go to up in Wisconsin all the time.
	Oh, yes.
	And it was, they had their little, uh, areas of beach where all the people would go.
	And, uh, they had, uh, slides in the water and everything.
	Uh, I went to places like that when I was young, too.
	Oh, yeah, they had docks down on the lake where my grandpa would dock his boat and go out skiing.
	But I was sitting on the beach.
	I was making a castle or something.
	I don't remember.
	I was like 10.
	But all of a sudden I was looking out on the lake and I see this big dark cloud that's coming out of the forest that's on the other side of the lake.
	And I remember I was just looking at it thinking that's odd because it was all the skies are blue and this big dark cloud and it's coming out of the forest across the lake.
	And it looked black.
	Black cloud.
	Yeah.
	Like a big black thundercloud.
	Gotcha.
	And it's coming over the lake.
	I'm just looking at it, and I don't know how close it got to us, but someone yelled bees.
	Bees?
	Bees.
	And everybody started running.
	Oh my God.
	My grandma grabbed me by my shoulders like a vulture.
	The talons just grabbed in.
	Yes.
	And she just, everyone started running, and they had a little area for the people, like a changing area.
	There was another A little house where like a bar was and attached to that there was a little pinball room or whatever.
	Right.
	We ran into that and it was a pretty fairly sized room but all I remember as soon as we got in there someone slammed the door and they had big screened windows with chain link fence over the window.
	Yes.
	So you could see outside and get air through the windows but I was in there and all of a sudden it was just like a black wave of bees just went by.
	And there was people grabbing on at the window, shaking them, screaming.
	You mean on the outside?
	On the outside.
	You mean wanting to get in?
	Wanting to get in.
	Oh my God, and so you were inside and they were out there getting... I was huddled in the corner and no one would let them in.
	There was people pinning the door shut.
	Oh my, what a story.
	Alright, alright.
	Do you want to hold it there and be judged?
	Yes?
	Is that a yes?
	Yes.
	Alright, hold it right there.
	Well, what do you think, folks?
	Be it truth or be it trash?
	First time caller line, you're on the air.
	Yes, sir.
	Yes, sir.
	Do you think that be truth or be trash?
	I've got a truth or trash story.
	No, no, no, no.
	This is jury time here.
	Truth or trash on the bee store.
	Oh, that one is true.
	You think it's true, alright.
	You think they'd really leave people outside screaming?
	Yeah, people are cruel.
	Yeah, they are cruel.
	And you know, I've heard it said, and it's probably true, that if a nuclear war were occurring and you ran into your shelter and people were pounding to get in, no way, right?
	Even during a bee attack, I guess, too.
	Well, that's one.
	That's one for true.
	What do you think, truth or trash?
	I think it's truth.
	You think it's true.
	That's two.
	You really think people could be so cold, huh?
	I definitely do.
	All right.
	Let's continue here.
	West of the Rockies, truth or trash on the bee story?
	Truth.
	Really?
	Yes.
	That's three in a row that say that's a true story.
	All right, sir, I appreciate it.
	Thank you very much for your vote.
	And now back to the storyteller.
	Three in a row say that's absolutely true, sir.
	I didn't fool anybody.
	It was true.
	It was true?
	It was true.
	Oh, this time the jury is really, uh, this like, uh, what, three in a row, four in a row for the jury?
	All right, thank you very much.
	No problem.
	Take care.
	Now, let's think about this a little bit.
	If you're going to tell a true story, and you want to fool the jury, I guess you can't really throw anything into intention.
	It's the way you tell it.
	Now, if you act a little hinky.
	Now, that was a really good story.
	Imagine the people, my God, giving stories.
	Pounding on the windows.
	So there's a visual there, and I guess it's something we can accept.
	How could he have He could have laughed a couple of times.
	A couple of little misplaced chuckles, maybe, as he told that story.
	And I think the jury would have said, ah, baloney.
	He was too good, too sincere.
	Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hi, Art.
	This is Tim calling from the blowtorch Pacific Northwest in Portland, Oregon.
	KEX with Radio 1190.
	Yes, sir.
	That's the way to do it.
	I've got a story about... for your jury.
	Maybe.
	Let me hear it.
	this is one case where i was going to judge first then the jury
	uh...
	the years ago i was in west laukee in indiana or purdue university is and i was
	visiting with one of my friends and
	he got off the work that sunday morning and i went out there to uh...
	work on my band to get started so i crawled underneath it
	with a coat hanger too uh... unfreezes
	sticky solenoid. Right.
	right?
	Thank you.
	And mind you now, the ignition is not on.
	As a matter of fact, I don't think the key was in the ignition.
	Nevertheless, this story has Darwin written all over it, but continue.
	Yes, I definitely was a candidate for the Darwin Award.
	So I crawled underneath it.
	I made contact with the solenoid and the starter motor engaged.
	And it was in gear.
	In reverse.
	I couldn't get out from under the tire in time.
	I was struggling and I struggled for quite a while and this thing was... You mean the car ran over you?
	Yes.
	It was a van actually.
	A van?
	Yeah.
	What part of your body did it run over?
	My chest.
	Oh my god, so you mean that it perched on top of you, or it just rolled over you and kept going?
	It just, uh, eventually it kept inching way up the side of my chest as I kept trying to crawl under it.
	God, you mean it was like getting traction on you?
	Yeah!
	Inch by inch.
	It gradually, uh, and I'm yelling for help and as I get more weight on my chest, I don't have much air left to call for help.
	So I was terrified, needless to say, and my last few gasps that I had, I was yelling for help, and I heard some footsteps coming from out of somewhere, and two people showed up, and wouldn't you know it, the driver's door was locked, but the passenger door wasn't, but that's the door they went to, the driver's door, they couldn't get it open, so they were freaking out.
	And the car was on top of you at this point?
	Just about.
	So they went and grabbed the bumper on the side where it was Or the wheel on the right side.
	And they lifted up as hard as they could.
	And that's when the wheel continued to roll over my chest.
	And I want to tell you, it felt like my eyeballs were going to shoot right out of my pocket.
	Well, they probably were!
	Geez!
	All right, so the van went where?
	It just kept going.
	It just rolled up the street and eventually quit.
	They unshorted itself.
	I don't know how it did it, but here I was laying flat on my back.
	Just amazed.
	And here you are living to tell about this story.
	Yes.
	I got up off the ground, too.
	And stood up?
	Yep.
	All right.
	And your first name again was?
	Tim.
	Tim.
	All right, Tim.
	Hold on.
	I'm putting you on hold for judgment.
	Your peers.
	The van story.
	Oh, God.
	That was a horrible story.
	Horrible.
	Horrible.
	Could it be true?
	First time caller line, the van storied upon the chest.
	True or false?
	Truth or trash?
	Hello?
	Hello.
	Yes, truth or trash, sir?
	I'm gonna say trash.
	Trash?
	You don't believe that?
	I do not.
	You don't think a person could survive a van that's pretty heavy, is it?
	No, it's not the heaviness, it's just the...
	It's a good story that was made up.
	Made up.
	All right, I got you.
	That's one on the negative side.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Truth or trash?
	Truth.
	Truth?
	Yeah, I think the gay could probably stand it.
	I might stand that.
	I don't know.
	Thanks.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	What do you think?
	Truth or trash?
	Trash, okay.
	One more for trash, and he has been trashed.
	First time caller on the line, you're on the air.
	Truth or trash on the van on the chest story?
	Definitely trash.
	Trash.
	That's three in a row for trash.
	Alright, let's go back to our storyteller.
	Alright, my friend, you're back on the air.
	Yes.
	It's all true.
	It's true?
	Yes.
	You swear?
	I swear.
	You swear by the tire marks on your chest?
	Yeah, by the tire marks on my chest and it was also the day that the Iranians took over the embassy back in 79.
	So that's how you remember it?
	And there was a full moon rising in the east that day, too.
	Yeah, I think there's one on the way up tonight.
	Thank you very much for the call.
	You're welcome.
	And thanks for completely screwing up the panel.
	I like the part about the idiots lifted the front, and that's when it caught traction and began backing up on him until his eyeballs felt, he said, like they were going to pop out.
	Seems to me that could probably do the whole job.
	Oh my word.
	we will be right back probably you're listening to our goals somewhere in time on premier
	radio networks tonight an encore presentation of coast to coast am from june
	first two thousand one
	now listen remember if i put you on a jury after story as a way of saying thank you for that uh... what when you
	uh...
	come online you're welcome to say your name and where you're calling from
	and then render your verdict.
	Peace.
	Because I realize it's tough.
	If you were calling to tell a story and you're suddenly stuck on a jury, that's tough.
	But, you know, that's the way it works in real life.
	You get a little notice in the mail and you're stuck on a jury.
	All right.
	Well, to the Rockies, you're on the air, and you are another person who has come to witness, right?
	Hello?
	Hello.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Is this a witness or for a story?
	Well, I was using it loosely, sir.
	What is your first name?
	My name is Dave.
	Dave, okay.
	And we are ready to receive your story, Dave.
	Oh, terrific.
	Well, I graduated.
	I'm going to show my age here.
	I graduated from high school in 1953, and my buddy and I, we went down to go swimming, and this was in Houston, and we went down to go swimming in Galveston, and I had gotten a senior ring, a class ring, and it was a little bit loose, so I was afraid of losing it in the water, so I put it on a chain around my neck, and when I came out of the water, the chain was gone and the ring was gone.
	And my buddy Bill, he said, well, that's the last time you'll ever see that chain again.
	And I had worked all summer to try to pay for that ring.
	You were swimming, what, in the ocean?
	Yeah, in the ocean, in Galveston, in the Gulf of Mexico.
	Right.
	Oh, that's really sad.
	And then about, oh, I guess it was about eight years later, I got a package in the mail and uh... it was a package and it was a note from a
	fisherman in virginia watts
	and he had he had uh... caught the fish
	that uh... it had it had my ring in the in the planet this is showed up in virginia in virginia
	in virginia this guy was off of a and you know the idea of why that is a
	If you had to go by water to get from Galveston to Virginia, that's a long way.
	Well, he had about eight years to get there.
	Did he tell you what kind of fish it was?
	It was a big fish.
	I think it was a shark, but I don't remember.
	This happened back in 1953.
	Probably around 60-something, somewhere in there.
	When you actually got the package?
	When I got the package, it looked like my ring had... How was your ring?
	Was it alright?
	My ring?
	Well, it had one little scar.
	A scar in the ring.
	A digestive scar.
	I have no idea.
	The neat part about it was, it was not only the ring, but there was a piece of a compass and a silver dollar.
	And he sent that with it?
	Yeah, uh-huh.
	Hold on, sir.
	This is definitely one for the jury.
	Does it have the ring of truth or the ring of trash?
	What do you think?
	Here comes the jury.
	First time caller on the line, you're on the air.
	Yes, sir.
	Name and location.
	David, New Jersey.
	All right, David, New Jersey.
	Truth or trash?
	I don't know.
	I'm going to say truth.
	You believe?
	He did sound sincere, didn't he?
	I've heard some fish stories.
	This one sounds believable.
	It does indeed.
	But that's a very long way.
	Yeah, I agree.
	All right.
	But nevertheless, you registered truth.
	Thank you very much.
	Wildcard line, name and location, please.
	From Duluth, Minnesota.
	I'm sorry, Mr. Name.
	Matt.
	Matt.
	Okay, Matt.
	What do you think?
	From Duluth, Minnesota.
	Yep.
	And our ring story here.
	I think that was... that was trash.
	Trash?
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Even with all that sincerity in his voice?
	Yeah, I just don't think for a million years that could actually happen.
	Maybe in a million years.
	All right, thank you very much.
	All right, let's see.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Location and name, please.
	Ingo from Milwaukee.
	All right.
	What do you say, truth or trash?
	I think that's the truth.
	You used the ring of truth.
	Okay, thank you very much.
	One more truth and we're there.
	Hello there on the wildcard line.
	You're on the air.
	Where are you and what is your name?
	Steven Phoenix.
	Okay, and what do you think?
	Are we still on the fish story?
	We are, we are.
	I'll give it to him as truth for one reason.
	He didn't open a can of tuna fish and find it inside.
	And Arizona is calling for 160 hours of rolling blackouts.
	I know.
	I read the story in the first hour.
	Your governor has said, like, 20-minute blackouts in Arizona?
	For 160 hours in a state that produces 130% of its peak energy needs.
	Yeah, I know, but your neighbor has needs.
	Well, this is only in states that have nuclear energy.
	It's not in any other state.
	I appreciate the call, sir.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, I know.
	They're talking about blackouts for Arizona.
	That really sucks.
	And why does it really suck?
	It really sucks because It gets too hot in Arizona to have those kind of blackouts.
	That just can't happen.
	There's a lot of retirees there and they can't stand those kind of temperatures.
	Alright, that I'm afraid, well not afraid, but I am encouraged to tell my storyteller.
	It looks as though You win, sir, or they lose.
	I don't know which.
	You're going to tell us right now.
	Was that story true, or was it absolute trash?
	That was just pure trash.
	Trash!
	Ha, ha, ha!
	You got them.
	I don't know how you did it, sir.
	Fish stories rarely survive, but this one, and you nailed them solid, bringing the average up for the caller.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Bye-bye.
	Bye-bye.
	Now there you have a creative mind.
	There you have somebody who knows how to tell a lie the way it ought to be told.
	Sure did take those folks in hook, line, and sinker, didn't it?
	Sorry for the pun.
	First time caller line, you're on the air.
	Hello, my name is Checkmate.
	Checkmate?
	Nobody is named Checkmate.
	That's my name.
	I'm from Reno, Nevada.
	Your parents called you Checkmate?
	That's correct.
	And I'm on a yacht in the middle of Lake Tahoe.
	You're in the middle of Lake Tahoe right now?
	That's correct.
	Gee, I could almost put a jury on that one.
	Okay, do you have a story for us?
	Is that why you're calling?
	Yes, I do.
	I'm retired now, but I used to be CEO of a major Fortune 500 company, one of the largest drug companies in the world.
	So that's why you're on a yacht, huh?
	That's correct.
	I would like to tell you that about six years ago we discovered a cure for aging.
	Oh.
	We in fact understand what causes cell destruction and what to do about that.
	Oh.
	And certain governmental agencies... Your drug company discovered this.
	That's correct.
	And I would like to say The company I was in is very mainstream.
	You would know who they were the minute I said their name.
	Were you forced out?
	No, I wasn't.
	don't do that. It is very mainstream. You would know who they were the minute I said
	their name. Were you forced out? No, I wasn't. I left simply because of my age. Your age?
	How old would you be now?
	I am now 53.
	Are you apparently aging?
	I just find them on Lake Tahoe.
	At what age did you retire?
	46.
	46.
	And how old would you be now?
	I am now 53.
	53.
	And are you apparently aging?
	No I'm not.
	You know what?
	I've got a break coming up.
	I've got a newscast coming up.
	Uh, the only way I can hold you over and have you submit to a jury is have you wait through the break.
	Uh, no problem.

	I'm gonna say...
	You're listening to Artvel, somewhere in time on Pre-Order.
	He claims to be CEO of a large drug company, now retired, on his yacht out in the middle of Lake Tahoe right now.
	Retired, I suppose, with some kind of golden parachute, huh?
	two thousand one well as secrets go this is a pretty good one as well as it
	through he claims to be ceo of a large drug company now retired
	on his dot out of a little middle of lake tahoe right now uh... retired i i suppose with uh... some kind of golden
	parachute on that's correct
	very very golden So, you've got enough money, and not only that, but you got to sample the drug that your company developed.
	And you will now remain ageless forever.
	Well, that could be difficult because the government got involved.
	Well, of course.
	You've got to understand, if in fact... Is this a drug you have to keep taking?
	Oh, without a doubt.
	Yes, of course.
	I'm sure you've had experts on the phone that have run your programs that have talked about the aging process, what causes it, the cellular destruction that takes place, telomeres, all that stuff.
	Right.
	And there's really no natural reason for it.
	Well, maybe you want to give us a secret.
	But anyways, I guarantee you That it would not be in the interest of our government, or I should say, the non-third world nations.
	Certainly not to give it to us normal people.
	Exactly.
	You can imagine the economic implications.
	But I can imagine that certain people would be getting that drug now on a regular basis.
	I mean, you as the ex-CEO of the company, it seems to me you ought to be able to keep getting it.
	I have to tell you the government is so afraid of this.
	I've listened to your program for many years.
	I love your program.
	You talk about a lot of things, but the implications of extending human life is very scary.
	Absolutely.
	The government has no problem with drug companies like the company I manage with us making your quality of life better.
	But they certainly don't want you living any longer than the average.
	Look at the social security system alone, Carl.
	Oh, that's correct.
	Yeah, okay, listen, hold on.
	I'm going to put this to a jury.
	You stay right there, alright?
	Okay.
	Your first name again was?
	Chick.
	I'm sorry?
	My name is Checkmate.
	Oh, Checkmate, that's right.
	I'd be using a name like that, too.
	Uh, Checkmate.
	Alright, Checkmate's story of eternal longevity of being CEO of a company that has discovered Uh, the secret to immortality, which he sort of had for a while, but now the government has stepped in.

	And you would be shocked.
	I am shocked already.
	At the government involvement.
	Yes, sir.
	No, I wouldn't be shocked, actually.
	Not about that.
	So you're saying you swear now?
	Yes.
	This is absolutely a true story.
	You would be shocked.

	I'll tell you what.
	You email me.
	Contact me privately.
	Okay.

	Okay.
	Alright?
	Alright, thank you.
	Alright, thank you.
	Well, I'm going to say he fooled the jury, but we have to always bear in mind that in this case the jury could be right and he could easily... On the other hand, he sounded awfully serious, didn't he?
	A wild card line, hello.
	Hi there, I have a story for Art.
	Uh, yes sir, here I am.
	Oh, I'm sorry, Art.
	What is your name and where are you?
	I'm Ed from Wisconsin.
	Ed, turn your radio off, please.
	Okay, my radio is off.
	I'm a police officer.
	I have another one on.
	Sorry about that.
	Oh, you're a police officer, alright.
	Anyway, this happened on Christmas Eve a few years back, Art.
	Yes, sir.
	And, uh, I was going, uh, me and Rex.
	Rex was a dog, was in the back seat, and we were, uh, We were headed somewhere, and it was snowing out, and we come across this car that was broke down.
	And, uh, so we stopped to see what kind of assistance we could offer.
	Sure.
	As I'm up talking to the guy, I notice that, uh, that, uh, there's no key in the ignition.
	It's not wired, okay?
	Oh, yes.
	So I have the guy get out of the car, and I know he's acting a little hinky.
	I knew something was up.
	Anyways, I realized, I saw he had a gun in his front belt, so I stepped back, told him to freeze.
	And he came at me.
	Anyways, the struggle was on.
	And, uh, we struggled for a few minutes and pretty soon Rex was on top of him, bit him right on top of the head.
	Excruciating pain.
	Rex the dog.
	Your dog bit him on the head?
	Yep.
	Okay.
	He'd come out of the squad, bit him right on top of the head and caused him a lot of pain.
	And I was able to get him into custody.
	Um, and like I said, it was Christmas Eve and it was, you know, it was a different night.
	And, uh, As things go, get some other cars there.
	Of course, I couldn't take the guy in my car, because all I had was a front seat available, you know.
	Sure.
	And then the squad, and we went on, and other cars got there, and they took the guy and headed to jail, and I took Rex to where we were going.
	And I felt kind of bad, because Rex was a stray dog, and I was actually taking him to the impound to lock him up.
	Oh, you mean Rex wasn't a police dog?
	No, no.
	He was a German Shepherd.
	He was an old German Shepherd.
	It's also strange that it happened on a Christmas Eve.
	But anyway, I put him in there and off to jail.
	I went to do the rest of the paperwork with a stolen vehicle and the suspect and stuff.
	Okay.
	Hold on a moment, if you can, Ed.
	Let's find out.
	Now, of course, The police radio in the background giving a certain credibility to his story.
	Sounds like a cop too, doesn't he?
	So, let's see what you think.
	East of the Rockies, you are on the air.
	Ed's story of the capture and the bite on the noggin.
	Truth or trash?
	I'm sorry, I wasn't listening because I had my radio turned on so you wouldn't holler at me.
	Well, he told the whole story and you were supposed to be part of a jury, so I thank you anyway for calling.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Ed's story, truth or trash?
	Well, I think it's true, but I have a story for you and I've been on your jury twice tonight and I can't tell my story.
	No, that's true, you can't.
	I appreciate it though.
	First time caller on the line, you're on the air.
	Truth or trash?
	Hello, this is Warren in Edmonton.
	Yes, sir.
	Alberta, Canada.
	Alberta, Canada.
	Truth or Trash, sir?
	I would have to say, Art, that it's absolutely, definitely, 100% undoubtedly pure, wholesome trash.
	Trash!
	Alright, one and one.
	Thank you very much.
	Used to the Rockies.
	Name and location?
	This is Kevin in Cleveland.
	In Cleveland.
	I got a great story, Art.
	I know, but Truth or Trash for this one?
	I'm gonna go with Trash.
	Trash!
	All right.
	Gee, even with a piece of radio in the background and everything.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Ed's story, truth or trash?
	Uh, I'd say true.
	You'd say true?
	Yeah.
	The next vote will get it, folks.
	Thank you very much.
	First time caller line, name and location?
	Uh, my name is Uther.
	I'm in Las Vegas.
	Uh, would truth or trash for that story?
	Oh, it's total trash.
	Total trash?
	Oh, my.
	All right.
	Officer, if in fact you are, Ed, they trashed your story by one vote.
	What do you say?
	That's our jury system, and I do respect it.
	I am a police officer, but that story is trash.
	It was printed in Wisconsin.
	Journal Magazine from police officers a few years back.
	I wish I knew the author's name because it was a great story to read on Christmas Eve.
	They nailed you.
	They nailed you by one vote.
	Thanks a million.
	Have a nice night, Art.
	Take care.
	That's what they always say after they give you a ticket.
	Have a nice night, Art.
	Have a nice day, Art.
	Sign here, Art.
	I haven't had a ticket in years.
	That is what an officer always says, right?
	Have a nice night, Art.
	Now we take you back to the night of June 1st, 2001 on Art Bell's Somewhere in Time.
	Now we take you back to the night of June 1st, 2001 on Art Bell's Somewhere in Time.
	First time caller line, you're on the air, hello.
	No, you're not.
	Wildcard line, you're on the air, hello.
	Hi, how you doing?
	I'm doing okay, sir.
	Oh, I'm the one that stuck out in the middle of Nevada and got through.
	I've got a story for you.
	Well, you better get in a good location because you're cutting in and out.
	How's that?
	Is that better?
	Well, try that.
	Okay.
	Proceed.
	Alright.
	Well, uh, story, um, my mother-in-law, she's working in a cannon factory down in, uh, New Zealand.
	And it was after the movie, uh, Face-Off came out.
	Yes.
	And she worked in a fishing cannon factory.
	And she was handing the fish in the processor, and she got too close to the machinery, and it kind of grabbed a hold of her face, and it peeled her face down.
	Oh my God.
	You mean like in Face-Off?
	Yes, exactly.
	It's about a month and a half after.
	Well, they saved all the skin, and they got her to the doctors, and the doctors were able to attach it.
	And all there was just a minor blemish around her face.
	And her face literally peeled off?
	Right, just like in the movies, the way they had the face off.
	Ah!
	Well, alright, that's just the kind of story I'm after.
	Hold it right there, and let's get some judgment on this one.
	Face-off story from New Zealand.
	Face ripped off by canning factory machine and reinstalled by doctors.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	What do you think, truth or trash?
	I think it's trash.
	Do you?
	Yeah.
	It's a heck of a story, though.
	Awful story.
	It's an awful story.
	I think it's trash.
	It is?
	All right.
	Well, thank you very much.
	That's one for trash.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Truth or trash?
	Trash.
	You don't believe that story?
	No.
	You don't think a face could be torn off and put back on again?
	I don't think that the nerves and stuff would survive.
	All right.
	Well, it might in a short time.
	I'm just trying to give some credence to it.
	First time caller on the line, you're on the air.
	Truth or trash?
	Uh, truth.
	You think it's true?
	Um, strange things have happened.
	They're able to reattach limbs and do microsurgery on your veins and stuff like that.
	You're darn right they can.
	All right, thank you.
	Uh, that's one for truth.
	All right, East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Face-off story in New Zealand.
	Truth or trash?
	Hey, Art.
	Hey, yes.
	Um... Oh, I'm, uh... Yes, you're on the jury.
	Truth or trash?
	Brian from Medina.
	And?
	And I say... possibly truth.
	Can you please hold me over, though?
	No, I can't.
	Oh, my.
	No, can't do it.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	I registered that as truth.
	We're two and two now.
	The deciding vote is here on the West of the Rockies line.
	Was the face-off story truth or trash?
	Third time on your jury, it's trash.
	Trash.
	All right.
	I got a great story for you.
	Well, then, just keep trying to get through, sir, because that's the way it goes.
	Now, back to the storyteller.
	They have trashed you by one vote, sir.
	Well, part of the story is this fall.
	I don't know then how to mark that.
	In other words, you made some of it up, right?
	What's that?
	you were from other law but it wasn't but uh... all are you going to be and every time i've heard
	of all our historic i'd believe it may happen right after uh... the
	movie came out i don't know then how to mark that uh... in other words
	you made some of it up right what that you made some of it up right
	i'm sorry you You made, read my lips, you made some of it up.
	Oh, he's gone.
	Now he's gone for sure.
	See, stupid cell phones.
	Stupid, stupid cell phones.
	Not worth the powder to blow them off the face of the earth, in my opinion.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hello, do we have time for a story, or am I still loading?
	No, I have time.
	Oh, that's great.
	My name is Tommy, I'm from New Jersey.
	Yes, Tom.
	Alright, here's the story.
	It took place out here, and what happened was a very eccentric, illiterate man out here in Piscataway, New Jersey.
	What he did was, he was a strange man.
	Nobody bought him.
	He died in the year 1963.
	And when that happened, he had no family to, I guess, give away his stuff to, or any kind of will of that.
	of that nature so uh... his local local parish or or priest that nature went over and
	uh... check out the house uh...
	to i'd guess account for for some of the things that he may have a good to help
	and see if you could find some airs to the uh...
	uh... whatever on uh... whatever whatever whatever fortune i apologize uh...
	yes uh...
	with a fortune he might have to the going to all the stuff may find it
	the guy pretty much look like a pig and and there was no you know stuff all over
	the place and uh...
	he can have a fixation with paper where he put paper and closed paper in this
	paper in there But in between some of the paper, they found money.
	Lots of money.
	They found, and it actually added up to about a half a million dollars.
	Oh my!
	Yeah, so they count all this, and they counted, they put it aside, And what they do is they go home the next day.
	This is the strange part of the story.
	So when they come back the next day, when this creature comes back, the next day the house is gone.
	There's not a splinter.
	There's not a board.
	Gone.
	The house is gone.
	The house is gone.
	There's not a board.
	There's not a splinter.
	There's not a thing there.
	The only thing they found was holes around the property.
	So they think maybe word got out.
	Um, and people, you know, started raiding the hole for money.
	Um, but the entire house was gone.
	Well, how would they take the whole house?
	People might raid it, but how are they going to take every last stick of everything?
	I honestly, I couldn't tell you.
	I guess you'll have to put that up to the jury.
	All right, I'll try it.
	An entire house disappears.
	Half a million dollars, but everything gone.
	I mean, not even so much as a stick of anything left.
	You think that's truth or trash?
	Uh, I think that's trash.
	Trash, okay.
	I'm leaning that way myself.
	First time caller line, uh, you're on the air.
	Truth or trash?
	I think that's trash.
	I think it's just trash.
	Trash, alright.
	Uh, thank you.
	Uh, wildcard line, truth or trash?
	Hello, wildcard line.
	Are you there?
	No?
	They're not there.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Truth or trash?
	Hello?
	or didn't have a button push while our first on the line now you're on the air
	truth or dress going once
	going twice gone wildcard liner on the air hello that will crash total trash thank you very much uh... back
	now to the storyteller
	they say trash i think i did good art and not only that uh...
	uh... i actually put up a book at that point of course and uh... a recent
	magazine article in my area.
	The story's true.
	The story is true?
	From an article I read.
	Now see, that's the way to do it, sir.
	You aced them big time.
	Thank you, I appreciate it.
	You also aced me, because I would have said, you swear this is true, right?
	May I name the magazine?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Okay, the magazine's a local magazine about folklore, legends, ghosts, the paranormal.
	It's called Weird New Jersey.
	Now, this article's written by one of the owners of the magazine, so this was based, in fact... This is where I might be a little off, though.
	I think the book is called, and it's out of print, and this woman's currently searching for another author for a sequel to this book, called... It's either The Blair or The Briar Affair.
	It was almost Blair spelled differently.
	But the magazine, and you probably could find it on the internet, You're telling me it's a true story.
	Well, as far as what I read, I did try to fool you, but I read an article on the subject.
	It was the way you told the story.
	It didn't sound believable at all, actually.
	I invite you to look it up, and I'm telling the story as it was read to me.
	Alright.
	I'm not at all sure that we're going to have time To get in another, well, maybe we'll get in just a moment of it.
	Maybe enough.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Is that a fairly quick story?
	Yes.
	All right.
	Where are you?
	Gardena, but this is Los Angeles.
	Ah, I see.
	Okay.
	Go right ahead.
	Okay.
	There was a story I heard about why Robert Ory considers, he's a Laker, considers number five bucks for him.
	And it was because when he was a small boy, he was about four, he was always kicking At the dog next door and somehow his foot went through the fence or whatever but the dog got a hold of his foot and it mangled the foot and when he went to the doctor and they started the stitches or whatever, the stitches come out as a five.
	The stitches hook around his big toe, go up about three toes and come back and make a five on his foot and he's always considered five less.
	All right, I'm not going to put this to a jury, but I do want to know the answer to it.
	So, is that a true story?
	It's a lie.
	It's a lie?
	All right.
	Well, listen, let me tell you, you sold me.
	Okay.
	That was true.
	Thank you very much.
	I'm afraid that I would have bid on that one.
	Oh my.
	We'll be right back.
	You're listening to Art Mel's Somewhere in Time.

	Premier Radio Networks presents Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
	Tonight's program originally aired June 1st, 2001.
	Good morning, and the truth or trash light is lit.
	That's what we're doing right now.
	If you've got a good story, fine.
	Otherwise, if you're calling, you're subject to be immediately corralled as a juror.
	That's the way it goes.
	In real life, too.
	I mean, you just get a little note that says, uh, you will report, right?
	That's how it works.
	So, that's how it works here, too.
	All right.
	We've got a story, I think, right here.
	Uh, you're on the air, sir.
	Yes.
	Hi.
	Uh, all right.
	Let's, let's have it.
	Uh, what is your first name?
	Okay, my first name is Jim Cullen from, uh, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
	Okay, Jim.
	And when I was growing up, uh, actually, I was about 14 years old.
	Like I said, I'm the oldest of, uh, uh, 13 kids.
	And supervision was a little bit light because of that.
	It's hard to keep track of us all.
	That's a lot of kids.
	One day my parents, they were both gone and they left myself and my brother in charge of my little sister and she was about three.
	We laid her down for a nap and snuck out back and we commenced to play with the tractor like we did on occasion when we could sneak back there and do it.
	We're dragging the old car back to Make a camp out of in the backfield.
	Right.
	And I was backing up the tractor.
	We're in some soft garden mud.
	And as I was backing up the tractor, I saw my little sister in the track that I had just passed over.
	Oh my god.
	She had run her right over.
	Oh my god.
	A three-year-old?
	Yep.
	She was three years old.
	Ran her right over.
	Just the sinking feeling that you get.
	And jumped down from the tractor.
	And I pulled her out, and thank God the angels must have been watching, because the mud was soft enough that she never got hurt, and... Then it mushed her into the mud?
	Pushed her right down into the mud.
	Oh, that's incredible.
	Oh, alright.
	That's enough.
	Hold it right there, Jones.
	Stand by.
	Let's have a judgment on this one.
	Three-year-old mushed into the ground by a tractor, but nevertheless, more or less, unharmed.
	Just mushed into the soft ground.
	What say you?
	Truth or Trash?
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air and on the jury.
	Jim's story of mushing his little three-year-old sister.
	Truth or Trash?
	Hey Art?
	Yes?
	How you doing?
	This is, uh, Don from, uh, Eerie P.A.
	Yes, sir.
	And Total Sexy W.L.K.K.
	That's it, the way to do it.
	Truth or Trash?
	Uh, I think it's Trash.
	Oh, you do?
	Yeah.
	You don't think that could happen?
	Nope.
	A little bundle of a three-year-old getting mushed into the ground living?
	No, I don't think something like that could happen.
	All right.
	Thank you.
	Trash, he trashes it.
	Bust of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hello there.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	Tell us who you are and where.
	I'm Marcy from Alpalauma.
	Marcy.
	All right, Marcy.
	That's quite a story there.
	Yeah, it is.
	What do you think?
	I'd have to say truth.
	Truth?
	Yes.
	The Ring of Truth.
	Just because I've heard so many stories similar to like that.
	Like a miracle, huh?
	Yeah, like this one kid.
	He was ran over by his mom.
	She didn't see him.
	He'd fallen on his rollerblades.
	Yes.
	And she backed out over his head.
	Oh, now that one's really hard.
	Yours is harder to believe than his.
	Well, this actually... Because the heads, they're like watermelons.
	You don't even want to think about it.
	It was fine.
	He ended up just perfectly fine, nothing was wrong with him at all, so I'm going to have to go with truth on this.
	Okay, I understand your thinking, sure.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Jim's story, truth or trash?
	I believe that's trash, Art.
	You do, alright.
	You're down.
	Where are you calling from?
	I'm calling from North Carolina.
	Alright, thank you for the call and being on the jury.
	First time caller on the line, you are on the air.
	Jim's story of reducing a three-year-old to the ground.
	Trash.
	Trash!
	Trash, big time.
	Big time, huh?
	All right, he has been trashed.
	Jim, you have been trashed.
	Yes, I hear I've been trashed, but it is the absolute truth.
	In fact, I didn't... My mother and dad never knew until... I'm 33 now, and... Oh, it was probably only about four or five years ago before my brother and I ever admitted to that story or told them about that incident.
	My... For fear of... God, you really... My father... Oh, yes, we really, really did do that.
	And how, when you pulled her out of the mud, I mean, how was she?
	She was filthy and she cried a little bit, but other than that we took her and cleaned her up and never said a word.
	Never said a word.
	Too afraid.
	I don't blame you at all, Jim.
	Thank you very much for absolutely stumping the panel.
	Big time.
	That was some story, oh my god, can you imagine looking down, seeing the imprint of your little
	three year old sister, oh my.
	Now we take you back to the night of June 1st, 2001, on Art Bell's Somewhere in Time.
	Here we go.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	You have some sort of story for us, don't you?
	Yes, I do, Art.
	Where are you, pray tell?
	Should I save that for last?
	Where?
	Should I save that for last?
	It kind of adds a repercussion to the story.
	I see.
	All right.
	Yes, you may.
	What is your name?
	Okay, my name is Keith.
	Keith.
	All right, Keith.
	I was on the show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire about a year ago.
	You were?
	I was quite nervous, but it did pretty good until the, that was not a question.
	I used two lifelines, the audience, and it was split 35-35.
	If I wanted a friend, I got it.
	I cruised up to the $32,000 level.
	No lifelines.
	I stumbled at the $125,000 question.
	That was a hard one.
	I knocked it down to 50-50.
	The last three went in order, C-D-C.
	So using that, I just picked a point blank.
	And it was correct.
	You guessed?
	Yes.
	It just went C, D, C, and I just looked at it and went A. Now you're at $125,000.
	No, the $250,000 question I had right on the nose to Android's Dream of Electric Sheep was based on what movie?
	Blade Runner.
	That was my favorite movie.
	I had a preview of the $500,000, but I just walked away.
	Here's the catch.
	You walked away with $250,000?
	Yes.
	Here's the catch.
	I didn't receive a penny of it because I lied on my application and gave my friend's address.
	Oh no!
	Yeah.
	Oh no!
	And I'm Canadian.
	And you're Canadian?
	Yep.
	And so on that basis, because you didn't tell the truth, they kept your money?
	Yeah, technically I wasn't allowed on the show.
	I just gave them, like I said, a friend's addresses on vacation.
	The entire segment went unaired.
	Uh, they made like a lot of checks, they took photos of me, um, they looked in the past and present, and they got back to the address and found nothing matched at all.
	I want nothing.
	Oh my God.
	Alright, hold it right there, Keith.
	We're gonna put this one to the jury, alright?
	I see now, you're Canadian, so that was part of it.
	Boy.
	What do you think?
	Truth or trash?
	Keith got on who wants to be a millionaire, walked at the $250,000 level, Actually, the $500,000 level, really.
	Thought he was getting a quarter of a million bucks, and got nothing.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	What do you think of Keith's quarter-millionaire story?
	Well, I think he promised to give his money because he's Canadian, anyway.
	So I believe it.
	It's true.
	You think it's true?
	Yeah.
	Okay, one for truth.
	Thank you very much.
	Fellow Canadian, I guess.
	Well, to the Rockies, you're on the air.
	What do you think of Keith's story?
	No, you're not.
	First time caller on the line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	Yes, you're on the air.
	What is your name?
	My name is Jennifer.
	I say trash.
	You say trash?
	I say trash.
	If I were to guess, if I were to guess that you're taking a bath, would that be truth or trash?
	That would be truth.
	Can you hear the water?
	I really thought so.
	It's great to have you back on the air.
	All right.
	Thank you very much.
	Take care.
	Enjoy your bath.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	This story, Truth or Trash.
	Tony from Cleveland, Ohio.
	Hi, Tony.
	Total trash.
	Do you think trash?
	Yep.
	Pretty bold trash if it's trash.
	It's trash.
	Are you a regular viewer of that show?
	Uh, I've watched it, but it's trash.
	Okay.
	Uh, yeah, you know... Well, I'll save my comments.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Keith's quarter-millionaire story.
	What do you think?
	Truth.
	You think it's true?
	Yep.
	Okay, uh, what is your first name?
	Rich from Spokane.
	Oh, right, Rich.
	Thank you.
	You've tied it up.
	Now, this will be the deciding vote.
	First-time caller on the line, you're on the jury.
	You're the deciding vote.
	Keith's quarter-million dollar story.
	Well, that's a lot of pressure, Art.
	Yes, I know.
	I forgot to say hello to Bowie Nair and Pyro Johnny.
	Well, thank you for doing that.
	Now, truth or trash?
	Uh, with me and myself, I would have to say truth, because he's crazy enough to get on with knowing that he wouldn't get it.
	All right, let's find out.
	I'm dying of curiosity in myself.
	All right, Keith, truth or trash?
	Oh, my friend, the girl having a bath sounded more believable than me.
	Well, she had sound effects, you know.
	Yeah.
	No, completely trash.
	Completely trash, huh?
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, you fooled them.
	Thanks a lot.
	And it was done on patriotism, I think, because a couple of those came from Canadians.
	Yeah.
	All right, thank you very much, and take care.
	We will continue to play Truth or Trash until the top of the hour, and then we will go to open lines.
	Even though there won't be a lot of discernible difference in what you'll hear.
	East of the Rockies.
	Hello there.
	Do you have a story?
	Yes, I do.
	Oh, you're on a cell phone, aren't you?
	Yes, I am, but I got a good signal.
	Well, fair signal.
	Turn your radio off.
	It is off.
	Now, where are you?
	I am calling from Richmond, Virginia.
	WRVA.
	All right.
	Richmond, Virginia.
	And your first name is?
	Vic?
	Vic, okay, Vic, what's your story?
	Alright, when I was a little kid, I used to do different things, um, to make extra money.
	Yes.
	And, um, I would do, like, dares and things, and, uh, one of the big things I would do would swallow different things.
	Oh.
	And, uh, usually it was just money, and it would be at school.
	I would swallow, like, quarters and, um, nickels.
	May I ask a question?
	Yeah.
	I've always wanted to ask this.
	When you swallow like quarters and pennies and dimes, whatever, are you able to eventually recover it?
	Yeah.
	That's why I did it.
	I would make extra money.
	And as a little kid you didn't mind digging through your poop to get a quarter out?
	Well, even as a kid there were limits for me.
	What was the largest denomination you dared swallow?
	A silver dollar.
	You swallowed a silver dollar?
	Yeah.
	Good God!
	Anyway, Vic, I can submit it to a jury right now, Vic.
	No, I'm not done yet quite.
	Anyway, my brother dared me one time to swallow my mom's diamond ring.
	Dared you?
	Yeah, it was a...
	Carrot diamond ring and I did it thinking that hey I'm gonna get it like everything else.
	If you can do a dollar you can do a diamond ring.
	Right, well the diamond ring didn't come out.
	It didn't?
	And finally he told my dad about it.
	One carrot?
	One carrot, it never came out and my parents kept checking every time I went to the bathroom to get their ring back.
	I'm sure they did.
	Oh my God, what a nightmare.
	It never came out.
	Well, about six years ago.
	Yeah?
	Ten years?
	There's more?
	Yeah.
	About six years ago, I guess probably about 15 years had passed, I choked in a restaurant.
	I was eating, and I choked, and a guy gave me Heimlich Maneuver, and the ring came out.
	Out?
	She popped, right?
	I knew it.
	Oh, incredible.
	Along with a big old chicken nugget.
	All right, this is indeed a diamond of a story, so hold it right there.
	A whole dollar.
	All right, here we go.
	West of the Rockies, Vic's story of the one-carat uh... that refused to uh... it was a truth or trash what do you think uh... yet and that is on albuquerque cake you'll be country here and i think that it absolute trash that's right tracklessness trash thank you are you very welcome sir uh... wildcard line you're on the air what do you think truth or trash yes i think that could be true possibly true possibly true but i got a great cat story
	Well, unfortunately, you were just on the jury, so you'll have to get back through.
	First time caller on the line, you're on the air on the jury.
	Truth or trash?
	I think the first part is true, but I think the last part is trash.
	Now, see, I can't register it that way.
	It's got to be one or the other.
	I'll go with trash, then.
	You're going for trash?
	Yeah.
	Okay, one more trash and he's out of here.
	Wildcard line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hi, Art.
	Hello.
	First of all, I want to say Thank goodness you're back on the air.
	Oh, thank you.
	I missed you so much.
	And can I say something really quick?
	Yes.
	Hi to everyone in the know.
	It's S.A.S.
	Tin Man.
	That story was trash.
	Trash, huh?
	Yeah.
	Okay, it's 3-1.
	You've trashed him.
	Vic, they have trashed you.
	By a vote of 3-1, you've been trashed.
	Well, the one lady was absolutely right.
	The first part of it was correct, but the last part was not true.
	She nailed it right on the head.
	So the ring part was not true?
	The ring part was not true.
	But you could really, honest to God, you could pass something as large as a... As a silver dollar.
	I did that when I was ten years old.
	That's astounding, Nick.
	That was the only silver dollar that I passed.
	Mainly quarters, though.
	How much total cash in your early career do you think you passed?
	I don't know.
	Maybe a couple of bucks.
	A couple of dollars?
	I ate a lot of nickels, Art.
	Oh, Vic, you're disgusting.
	Thank you.
	All right, buddy.
	Have a good one.
	Take care.
	I was hoping the part about the parents wasn't true.
	Wes of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hey, I got a story for you, Art.
	A good one?
	Yeah, it's a good one.
	All right, turn your radio off.
	All right, it's off.
	All right, where are you?
	I'm in Las Vegas.
	What's your name?
	My name is Uther.
	Uther?
	Yeah.
	Or Luther?
	Uther.
	Uther?
	Yeah, like Arthur's father.
	U-T-H-E-R?
	Yeah, I've got it, Uther.
	Alright.
	Unusual name.
	Weird parents.
	How'd you do with school and school with that?
	Kids are mean.
	Oh, they are.
	They're cruel.
	Alright, well anyway, you got a story?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	In 1994, the Arizona Highway Patrol were mystified when they came across A pile of smoldering wreckage embedded in the side of a cliff rising out above the road.
	This is not going to work because I already know it's all over the internet.
	It's an urban legend that happens to be true.
	Actually, it's not true.
	I heard it was true.
	The Arizona Department of Public Safety includes a page about this list.
	And they claim it's not true?
	That the guy attached the rockets to his car?
	The JATO unit was attached to a car.
	It's a myth.
	And it's not true.
	It was in the Darwin Awards.
	Yes, I know.
	The Darwin Awards never lie.
	Yeah, well, this particular one, that's why, you know, I wanted to use it so much, because everyone thinks it's true, but it's not.
	Arizona Department of Public Safety even has a webpage.
	I'm sorry I spoiled it for you, but we've spread the information that it is... It is, in fact, a fallacy.
	I'm sad.
	And I will email you the webpage.
	I am sad about that.
	It's such a great story.
	Are you sure it didn't happen somewhere else in Arizona?
	Denied it, but maybe it happened somewhere else?
	There's a whole webpage about it.
	It's a serviceman story that's been told for years and years and it's never actually been true.
	The car's been a different car over the years.
	The earliest it's ever been heard of was in 6162, and it was with two JATO units, but it's actually a bunk story.
	Well, I'm... And everyone is bought on it, and it's such a great story, though.
	I'm so sorry it's not true.
	Really, I am.
	Yeah, I'll send you the link.
	You know, Arizona's website.
	Alright, well, I should have let you go ahead and Tell it.
	But, you know, it's like everybody on the internet has heard that story.
	Yeah.
	And you're right.
	They would have said... They would have said true and you would have got them.
	Yep.
	I'm sorry, Uther.
	It's okay.
	I'm sorry.
	Them's the brakes.
	I'll swallow a nickel for you.
	Oh.
	Don't do that.
	Don't do it.
	Just say hi to your cat.
	Yes, I'll do that.
	Yeti.
	Yeah, Yeti.
	Yeti.
	I just adopted a seven-toed cat.
	Boy, have I got a cat story coming up here.
	Oh, great.
	All right, Hooper.
	Thank you very much.
	Good night.
	We'll be back.

	Tonight featuring a replay of Coast to Coast AM from June 1st, 2001.
	Well, the guy with the Chalupa story got me.
	The Chalupa story apparently is absolutely true.
	All kinds of people through here trashed me and said, actually trashed me and said, Art, you blew it.
	It is true.
	It seems impossible, but apparently, apparently it's true.
	What can I say?
	Beyond that, we're into open lines now, and truth or trash, if you wish it, but otherwise, generally, open lines.
	Stay right there and we'll be right back.
	You're listening to Art Bell, somewhere in time on Premier Radio Networks.
	Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from June 1st, 2001.
	Into the night and the land of the unknown.
	Flashing telephone lines.
	Wildcard line, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	Hello.
	Steven Phoenix.
	Yes, hi Steve.
	Uh, the X-43A breaks the sound barrier, excuse me, Mach 7 today.
	Mach 7?
	Mach 7.
	Can you believe it?
	We're up that high already.
	Wow.
	You know you're going to blackouts this summer, you know.
	Yeah.
	Like I said earlier, 160 hours are scheduled.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, I just called on a couple of your stories.
	I was going to say, the Chihuahua story is true.
	The lady dropped some change and opened the door to get it and fell out of the car.
	Oh, God.
	It figures.
	You know, I had to, as judge, trash that because it seemed absolutely impossible.
	And the gentleman with the broken neck that landed the plane, I'd heard that story also.
	And what it was is the theory is that the guy, realizing he'd landed behind enemy lines, jumped out of the plane to run to the jungle and forgot to open his canopy.
	That's the theory, but they really don't know.
	They really don't know, yeah.
	Otherwise, a dead man landed the plane.
	Right.
	And I have a story about my adventures in Alaska, if you'd like to hear it.
	Is it good?
	I think so.
	Go.
	It's my story, though, of course.
	Okay, it was 1996.
	Right.
	The fall, my son and I are on the Muskeg River in Dillingham, Alaska.
	Okay?
	Right on the mouth of the Bering Sea where it meets the Nushegak River.
	Right.
	My son's 11 years old.
	He's sitting on the beach and he's pulling in the gill net, a few feet at a time.
	I'm in the water, up to my knees, kneeling down, picking the salmon off the nets and throwing them up into the beach.
	My son freaks out, really scared, can't say anything, starts backing up the beach as fast as he can like crab crawling backwards.
	Over the corner of my right shoulder, out of the corner of my eye, I see this dark object coming at me.
	A bear?
	I figure a motorboat's gonna beach itself real hard right where I'm sitting.
	You can't see me.
	Right.
	So I crawl on my hands and knees as quick as I can up to the beach, about 20 feet, and roll over on my back to see this full-grown orca.
	Killer whale.
	Orca?
	Beached itself on the beach, thinking I was a seal, trying to take my leg off.
	Oh my word.
	And this thing beached itself and died?
	No, it came right up on the beach.
	It went right up to shallow water and then it flipped back and forth a few times and worked its way back into the water.
	Holy smokes!
	It was almost four foot at the blowhole.
	It was a full grown orca.
	He came up on the beach thinking I was a seal.
	How can you go back in the water after that?
	Do that.
	They come up on the water, and the rush of water that they bring with them helps wash them back out into the water.
	I didn't ask that.
	I said, how could you go back in the water?
	I go back on the water?
	Well, being in Alaska, you live off the land, and you have to subsist and fish.
	You don't do what you have to do, huh?
	You do what you have to do.
	So that's a dead true story, then.
	It's a dead true story.
	And shortly after that, my wife made us move out to Arizona, because she was tired of the grizzly bears in the whales.
	Well, at least you didn't send your wife out in a bear suit.
	That was a terrible story.
	I didn't have that idea when I was here.
	Thank you for the call.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Yes, good evening, Art.
	Good evening.
	This is Ruth from Duluth.
	Ruth from Duluth.
	How are you doing, Ruth?
	I'm just fine.
	Minnesota.
	You know, there's a Duluth, Georgia.
	Is there?
	Yes, there is.
	But it'd be much more likely you're from Minnesota.
	I am likely to be from Minnesota.
	Yes, I am.
	Right.
	I have a story, a treasure, or I shouldn't say treasure, treasure, truth or trash.
	Right.
	Just a quick one.
	We had a goat that mooed.
	You had a goat?
	That mooed.
	Instead of doing whatever they do bad, you know, it mooed.
	It mooed like a cow?
	Yes.
	All its life?
	All it's like?
	Well, I don't know about all it's like.
	We bought it from some friends of ours.
	We heard some mooing in the pasture.
	We didn't have cows.
	We had goats, and chickens, and cats, and dogs.
	And so we went out in the pasture, and our little brown goat, and the other goats were white salmon, and this brown goat was not being accepted by these other goats, and she was very forlorn.
	And, uh, we went out on the pasture and, um, didn't see any cows.
	We're looking around and all of a sudden this little brown goat came up to us and moved.
	So we called the people... I'm not... Well, this is... We're not guessing anymore, are we?
	No, I... This is true.
	Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't know why I believe this, but I think I believe it.
	And do you know what we found out?
	We called the people that we got it from.
	We said, we have this really weird story and you're gonna think we're absolutely crazy.
	Yeah.
	And we said, your goat that you gave us, lose.
	And they said, oh, of course.
	We said, excuse me, when the goat was little, her mama died.
	Her mother died.
	And they had cows.
	And the cows raised that goat.
	And that's what that goat heard.
	And so it learned to move.
	It learned to move.
	That's an incredible story.
	It's wonderful.
	And so I've shared it with kids.
	I'm a counselor and I've shared it with kids.
	Saying, you know, you might become like the people you hang around with.
	Very good point.
	Yes, it's wonderful.
	Can I share quickly a dream?
	Real quick.
	Real quick.
	Very short.
	It's an animal lover dream.
	I have a guide dog.
	This is my second one.
	My first one died.
	It was a horrible experience.
	Just incredible.
	I had a dream and she came to me and she said, you know, this new dog of yours when you get her is not going to take my place.
	She said, I'm sliding over and making room.
	So there will be room for her but room for me.
	She said, she'll never take my place and I'll never take hers.
	That's great.
	I thought I would share that with you guys.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Good night.
	That's something.
	A goat that moos.
	That would be really disconcerting.
	To be around a goat and have it moo at you.
	But I guess it could happen.
	If the goat was raised by cows, it might learn that sound.
	It might think that that was the normal sound for it to make.
	I guess that could happen.
	What's with the Rockies?
	You're on the air.
	Hi.
	Hi, Art.
	Hello.
	Hi.
	I just finished your book, The Quickening, a couple weeks ago.
	Yes, sir.
	I'd like to say thank you for that.
	You're very welcome.
	And it was a fairly predictive book, if you look around us today.
	I'm telling you.
	For having been published four years ago, amazingly accurate.
	Yes.
	Thank you.
	You're very welcome.
	My name is Robert.
	I'm from Reno.
	Yes, sir.
	And I want to tell you my story.
	Okay.
	A couple of years ago, there was a fire burning along the coast of Oregon.
	It took quite a few hours to put the fire out.
	After it was done, this was a heavily wooded area, after the fire was out, the firefighters were walking through the area to kill the hot spots and so forth.
	They came across a body of a man that was not even singed.
	He was dead.
	His neck was broken, and upon further investigation, they determined that just about every bone in his body was broken.
	But he was not even singed.
	And on top of that, he was dressed from head to toe in full diving wetsuit.
	He had a face mask on, he had scuba gear on, and he had fins on.
	And this is the story I call, you think you're having a bad day?
	What they figured happened was this guy was out having a nice day in the ocean scuba diving, and one of the methods they were using to fight the fire was to use helicopters with scoop nets to scoop up ocean water and drop it on the fire.
	Yes, and they scooped up our friend and dropped him from God knows how high above the forest floor.
	Exactly.
	My God, what a sad story.
	And that's the story I call you think you're having a bad day?
	We are going to submit this to a jury.
	I am very, very curious what our jury will have to say about this.
	East of the Rockies, you are on the air.
	You've heard the man in the wetsuit, with every bone in his body just about broken and dead, lying on the forest floor.
	What do you say?
	Truth or trash?
	Well, I've seen those helicopters do their thing.
	I'd say it's true.
	True.
	Got you.
	All right.
	That's one for true.
	And Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
	What do you say about the fellow dumped, apparently, out of a helicopter onto the forest floor?
	Can you ask where this took place?
	Can you ask where it took place?
	Yeah.
	Normally, you can't do that, but where did it take place?
	Oregon.
	It was off the coast of the United States.
	Okay.
	Northwest U.S.
	There was a fire near the coast of Oregon.
	And so apparently they were picking up water from the ocean, I guess.
	And it was close to the coast in Oregon, so.
	Okay.
	Can we get a year when it happened?
	Two years ago.
	That's trash, because there was no fire that they used that method on that was that close to the coast where they'd need ocean water.
	May have been years ago, so that's trash.
	Between two and three years.
	That's trash.
	I was there.
	Oh, no.
	Are you still there?
	Still here.
	Good.
	Okay, hold on.
	Let's finish up here.
	That's one truth, one trash.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	What do you think?
	Truth or trash?
	Total trash.
	Internet folklore.
	Alright, and Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
	What do you think, truth or trash?
	I say it's truth.
	You say it's true.
	Alright, the next vote is going to decide it.
	First time caller line, you are on the air.
	Man in fins, broken bones on the forest floor.
	That's, uh, that's completely BS.
	That's guts trash is what we call it, sir.
	Thank you very much.
	Alright, uh, the second caller was absolutely right.
	That is internet folklore is utter trash, isn't it?
	Well, I heard it on Paul Harvey, and like a caller early in the evening, that said, I've never heard garbage come from Paul Harvey.
	Well, come on.
	If Paul told that story, then he got it off the internet.
	That's been going around the internet now for at least two years.
	Okay.
	But, I can't prove it.
	I just heard it on Paul Harvey and I take his word for it.
	So, because Paul said it, you're saying it's true?
	Uh, no.
	I'm just saying that's where I heard it.
	Alright.
	Okay?
	Yep.
	Good enough.
	Thank you and have a nice day.
	You know, then that has me wondering a little bit.
	What if Paul Harvey did tell that story?
	I mean, that's been going around the internet.
	For a long time now.
	Now that doesn't mean it's not true.
	I just, I knew that it was an internet rumor and I want to see, I wanted to see how people would vote.
	Now it's close.
	Free to do.
	Trash.
	But it sounds true.
	It sounds like it could be true.
	Horrible, but true.
	They dip down with a big bucket and they suck in the diver.
	In their haste to get water, they don't pay attention to what they're doing.
	They dump him from altitude and that's it.
	Interesting.
	Hello there.
	Art?
	Yes.
	I have a story for you.
	Okay.
	You're on the air, so where are you calling from?
	I'm calling from Lamont, California for my Aquaphone.
	I am a truck driver just picking up produce.
	It sounds like an Aquaphone.
	It probably comes in soft blue.
	Maybe that's what the diver was using, an Aquaphone, right?
	Yeah, an Aquaphone.
	I'd say this happened to me 10 years ago.
	Okay.
	I worked at a golf course in Reno.
	Yes?
	I was mowing the back nine one morning.
	Right.
	Well, 3 or 4 in the morning.
	As I get to the 15th green, the sun is just coming up.
	Yeah.
	I get halfway across the green on my mower.
	At this particular part of the golf course, directly on the other side of the green, there's a, if you will, old folks home.
	Yes.
	You know, a residence home?
	Yes.
	And its backside of the residence home faced the green.
	So as I am mowing the green, I'm looking at the back door and all the deliveries coming and going.
	Sure.
	Almost through the entire green, I see a gurney wheeled out with three or four guys pushing a gurney.
	Yeah.
	As the gurney gets to the edge of the dock, there's a railing and I notice that there's a white, it's kind of like a white moving van, if you will.
	Yes.
	These guys kind of disregarded the gurney, turned around, got distracted or something by someone else that had come out onto the dock.
	We've got to hurry along here.
	The next thing you know, the gurney rolls down an incline.
	Oh no.
	It's like a wheelchair ramp.
	Yeah?
	Right out into the middle of Plumas Boulevard.
	Plumas.
	Right up the main thoroughfare to Reno.
	Was a guy on it?
	Right in the middle of traffic, and as I'm sitting there watching this surreal event happen, going back and forth more than green, there goes the gurney out in the middle of the traffic.
	And?
	It stopped right in the turn lane.
	And nothing hit it?
	Nothing hit it.
	And these guys turned around and ran after it.
	I'm sure!
	And, uh, You know what it was, right?
	No.
	One of the residents had passed away.
	And so it was a dead body.
	And that was how they take people out through the back door when people pass away.
	So it was a dead body.
	It was a dead body.
	In a way, that's comforting.
	I mean, you wouldn't want to think of some poor Sick person on the way to their hospital just taken off.
	Well, he had better things to do.
	Yeah, apparently so.
	Better things to do.
	I've got a couple observations real quick.
	Oh, I'll take one observation.
	Okay.
	The chemtrails.
	I, you know, being the truck driver, I'm always observing our horizons.
	Yes.
	And I have absolutely noticed an increase In eastern Washington, eastern Oregon, and northern California.
	Just absolutely full of chemtrails.
	That is echoed by a million emails I'm getting, sir.
	Is that right?
	Yeah.
	You're absolutely dead on.
	Thank you very much.
	Yes, I've been getting, especially up in the Seattle area, people are saying, we are just getting chemtrails every day.
	I'm getting a lot of that.
	Well, Cardeline, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Oh, hi.
	Hi.
	Hold on.
	Okay.
	Real quick.
	Oh, shoot.
	I've got two radios on.
	Don't you know?
	Because I don't want to miss anything.
	So, wait, wait, wait.
	I'm coming down.
	Real quick.
	Okay, there it is.
	Yes, okay.
	Hello.
	You don't know.
	I have this set up like, you know, like a harem.
	So, I fell over some pillows I have on the side.
	Okay.
	Let me calm down.
	You have your room set up like a harem room?
	Yeah, sort of.
	You know, with from drapes coming off the light and not why it was a good
	i'd like to pretend i'm a harem girl
	it along the way Let's run another call.
	Okay.
	Well, I have a question for you.
	Yes, Sharon.
	Now, you wrote the book about the quickity, yes?
	Yes.
	Now, you also wrote another one with another co-author, right?
	Yes.
	What's that one called?
	It's called The Coming Global Superstorm.
	It's going to be a movie.
	Oh, really?
	Cool!
	Yes.
	Okay, and then this guy with the story about him being mistaken for a seal by an orca?
	Yes.
	That's very possible because around here It is likely, if there's a shark feeding in the area, that if you're on a board, and sometimes especially, they have these boards that aren't the big surfboards, they're smaller, they're stouter, they're more for like, they're almost like a cross between a regular surfboard and a boogie board.
	I would never go near the water again, if an orca whale suddenly showed up.
	Well no, because you see, they don't It's close enough to what they, the outline that they look for, for food.
	Because in the case of the ocean, if you're on one of those, especially towards early morning hours or late evening, you're still wet.
	And then think about it, people wear, like, fins in order to have better control in the water.
	You know, I'd really rather know why you play harem girl.
	Well, hey, don't you and Mona sometimes play shoot-em-up cowboy or, you know, whatever?
	Well, I'm going to be 18.
	You're going to be 18?
	but no that that that will be a good how how old are you uh...
	well the truth uh...
	okay my parents don't like that i do this okay but anyway i really can't tell you

	well On June 20th.
	Alright.
	Listen, I gotta go, but... I'll call you some other time with a story about my cat.
	Absolutely allowed to play harem girl at that age.
	Have a good time.
	Her hands are never cold.
	Her hands are never cold. She's got better days, I should turn the music on. You won't have to think twice.
	She's as pure as New York snow.
	She's got better days aside.
	And she'll keep you chill.
	Midnight at the oasis.
	Send your camel to bed.

	You're listening to Art Bell, somewhere in time, on Premier Radio Networks.
	Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from June 1st, 2001.
	There's a harem girl for you.
	That's kind of harem girl music, so... works well.
	All right, listen, let me sort of clue you in, in case you're not computer savvy and can get to my website, and we'll talk a little bit about what we're going to do next week.
	Dr. Thomas Beck and Janet Culley.
	Dr. Janet Culley.
	On Monday night, Tuesday morning, transpersonal psychotherapists who deal with close encounters and interspecies communications.
	Two doctors.
	That should be quite a subject.
	Tuesday night, Wednesday morning, is a very special program.
	Robert W. Morgan, the Bigfoot researcher, is going to be here, but He's going to sit and listen and ask questions, as I will, with regard to a story that is one of the wildest ever told, and I think true.
	A man named Bugs, you may or may not remember many years ago on this program, told a story about killing two Bigfoots.
	He killed two Bigfoots.
	It was an extremely credible story.
	He told it to me here on the air.
	And it took quite a while to unwind, as it will this coming week.
	And I thought this time I'd bring bugs on the air, but I would bring Robert W. Morgan, a Bigfoot researcher, on with me, who is no doubt going to be absolutely amazed by what he hears.
	And I should tell you That Bugs has done what he said he would do, and Bugs has sent me a map of the burial location.
	So I'm going to have Bugs back on the air, but this time I'm going to fortify myself with a Bigfoot researcher, and a very good one at that, Robert W. Morgan.
	Listen for that, Tuesday night, Wednesday morning.
	Then Wednesday night, Thursday, Dr. Rick Strassman.
	Dr. Strassman Received, you're not going to believe this, received permission from the US government to give DMT, the spiritual drug, the near-death drug, whatever you want to call it, people call it a lot of things, DMT, to quite a number of patients.
	Incredibly!
	And Dr. Straussman is going to report to us what happened, the results of all of that.
	On Thursday night, Friday, Catherine Lanigan will be here, who wrote a book called Angel Watch, Goosebumps, Signs, Dreams, Other Divine Nudges.
	And then Friday night, Saturday morning, next week, Major Ed Dames.
	And Major Dames is going to be taking a look at the underwater city off the coast of Cuba, as well as shadow people and a lot of other topics.
	So that's what's coming up next week, folks.
	Now we take you back to the night of June 1st, 2001, on Art Bell's Somewhere in Time.
	Thanks for watching.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hey, how you doing, Art?
	I'm alright, sir.
	You got Blade Runner calling you from Tacoma, Washington.
	Haven't talked to you in years.
	Now, I know your parents did not name you Blade Runner, or if they did...
	Okay.
	Well, if I tell you my name, you'll only, you'll bleep me out.
	Well, only unless you're allowed to give your first name.
	Oh, they call me Matt, then.
	I'm not on the radio.
	You're not Blade?
	No.
	Okay.
	No.
	Hey, I, uh, remember Bugs?
	I used to call you a lot when Bugs was on the air.
	Do you remember that?
	Uh, yeah, in fact, you might not remember me, but you got an obscure phone call in the off hours on a Thursday.
	Shortly after Bugs was on the air, and I was telling you some things about... Well, you tell this audience, is that a wild story or what?
	Oh, I totally believe the dude.
	Yeah, I do too, and moreover now I've got a map.
	But the only thing that bothered me was some of the ballistics specifications that he was throwing out there into the conversation.
	Well... They weren't pertinent enough to mention, but they were all wrong when he mentioned them.
	That's the only hole I found in his story other than that.
	You know what, we'll ask him about that.
	Yeah, he's got to get his ballistics out.
	He was quoting bullet sizes that didn't exist in that caliber.
	All sorts of different... that was the only type of information in his story that was inconsistent with what's real.
	Alright, well we'll ask specifically about that.
	I'm definitely going to call you when Bugs is on the air if you're going to accept the call.
	I probably will, but we'll have a real bigfoot researcher here and I want him to hear it.
	That should be really something.
	Yes, you can get ahold of Bugs.
	He didn't field any questions from the audience because he was freaked out last time.
	If he's willing to do it this time, he sent you a map, so... Well, you understand why he freaked out, I mean... Oh yeah, because that was about when they passed the law that killing Bigfoot was murder.
	That's right.
	Right, and even though we don't know it exists, he's going to get acquittal just because we have to prove it exists first to have that law be validated.
	That's right, well... So... Right.
	He didn't murder anybody.
	I don't believe that either.
	Not if he shot Bigfoot.
	Well, again, I've got a map.
	Okay.
	Well, he was poaching deer, so he thought it was a deer anyway.
	I know.
	And I don't know if you remember this.
	This is a Truth or Trash story.
	You can put this one up.
	There's a cop sitting on the side of a Forest Service road outside of Eugene, Oregon.
	Gets shot.
	He's using a pair of binoculars.
	He gets shot from a motorist on this road.
	What he was doing was staking out a marijuana patch and The guy that shot him was hunting at night and he saw the glass in his headlights.
	Oh boy.
	Not at the glass.
	And he didn't hurt the officer, he cut him a little bit, but he was lucky he hit the target.
	Because if he was just a few inches off he would have hit him in the head.
	Oh boy.
	But that guy didn't get anything but discharging a firearm from a county road was the ticket they wrote him.
	They didn't write him for malicious anything or negligence of anything.
	He could have killed a man.
	Absolutely.
	He was exempted from attempted murder, basically, because he thought he was shooting at a deer.
	Bugs is okay.
	Bugs doesn't have nothing to worry about.
	I'll be calling Bugs when he's on the air.
	All right, sir.
	Thank you very much.
	Take care.
	It's one of the more incredible stories you'll ever hear.
	And I think it is absolutely true.
	You know, it's been a while now, so we'll see how Bug Story holds up.
	I suspect it will.
	That's one of those things that's imprinted on your brain.
	I'm not sure what to do with this map, and maybe we will collectively decide what to do with it when we do the program.
	Maybe the map should be destroyed.
	Maybe it shouldn't be followed up on at this point, or maybe it should.
	But I do have a map.
	Anyway, we'll see.
	We'll see next week.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Hey, Aaron, how are you?
	I'm okay.
	I have a shadow person story, as a matter of fact.
	Okay.
	I've actually had this experience since I've been a small child, and it's about six feet tall, and darker than anything I've ever seen, as far as black.
	It's really wild.
	How old are you now?
	I'm 18.
	I've seen it since I was about 6.
	Okay.
	And it's 6 feet tall.
	Yeah.
	It's good even 6 feet.
	Most shadow people have been said to be small.
	Yours is a really big one.
	Yeah, it is very, very big.
	Like a shadow basketball player.
	Yeah, it's a shadow Shaquille O'Neal.
	All right, so anyway, what has your shadow person done?
	Well, mostly just comes around at, you know, usually the witching hour, so to speak.
	But, you know, just kind of walks around the room and looks at me most of the time.
	Uh-huh.
	Never approaching you?
	No.
	It will stand at the edge of my bed and watch me, but that's been the extent of it.
	Well, he's watching you.
	Well, there's no way to know if he or she, I suppose.
	Yeah.
	While it's watching you, what do you do?
	Well, since I was a kid, I've probably pulled my head under the blankets.
	It's very freaky.
	You still do that now?
	Oh, no.
	I kind of look at it every now and then, but I try to roll over and not look.
	And this has just been a regular thing for you?
	Oh, yeah.
	Very, very regular.
	I don't know what I'm going to do with all this.
	I don't know what we're going to do with it.
	I appreciate your call, hon.
	Actually, as a matter of fact, I wanted to say hi to everybody in your chat room.
	You're in the chat room, huh?
	Okay.
	Bye.
	Bye.
	Uh, take care.
	I wonder if she plays harem girl.
	A six foot high shadow guy that just, uh, sort of lurks around.
	I just, I don't know what to do with these stories.
	It's so obvious that something very serious is going on.
	A real phenomena is upon us.
	Something new, folks.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hey, what's up, Art?
	You.
	Hey, it's a doggy-dog world out there, ain't it?
	It's a doggy-dog world, yes.
	Do I believe it or not?
	Do you believe what?
	I don't know if I should believe what this last person said or not.
	What did the last person say?
	Which one of you?
	Well, it was a pretty incredible story, I thought.
	What story?
	Uh, the gal, uh, about something about her dog and her cat and found some underwear and my God, it's been a long time ago.
	Oh, okay.
	I don't know.
	Do you believe it?
	Uh, I don't know.
	Drawers?
	Yeah, drawers.
	Do you believe it?
	It's kind of a bad way to wrap things up, but reality's a cold slap in the face sometimes, I guess.
	Yes, it is.
	It's a cold slap, all right.
	The answer is it was true.
	A little slow on the uptake there.
	That was about an hour ago.
	First time caller online, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	Going once.
	Going twice.
	Gone.
	Wildcard line, you're on the air.
	Oh, hi there, Art.
	Hello.
	Got time for one last truth or trash?
	Maybe, if it's a good one.
	I think it's a good one.
	Alright.
	Alright, um... Back when I was 15, I worked there in Florida, and uh...
	I was a supermarket bag boy.
	And you know, it's a simple job.
	Folks come down, they give you groceries and you bag them up.
	So this old gentleman, he came up to me, he asked me to bag these canvas bags of his.
	There's one too rare I request.
	Sometimes people like those.
	Sure.
	So I get the bags and I start smelling this thing.
	It smells real bad.
	I'm thinking to myself, what is this guy keeping in these bags?
	So I just let that pass.
	I try to ignore the smell.
	It's horrible.
	It's a horrible smell.
	I suddenly, I bag everything up, and this guy, as I'm bagging, he gets all huffy, and he wants to get right out of that store as soon as possible.
	So I hand him his bags.
	He rushes out of there.
	I look up, I look over to the side, and between that little aisle, between the check stands they got in the supermarkets there, and as it had turned out, the gentleman had lost control Uh, lost containment of his bowels.
	And, uh, had... Oh, no.
	Yeah, and it was on the floor there.
	No.
	Yeah.
	Sheesh.
	And, uh, that's how it went.
	You want to put that to the jury?
	No, not at all.
	Oh, one last thing.
	You know what?
	I don't even want to know whether that was true.
	Okay, well, I'll leave you ignorant in that case.
	Oh, one last thing I wanted to mention to you.
	I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but, uh, Flashdot, if you've heard of them, they ran a story about your friend Robert Bigelow.
	Oh?
	Yeah.
	So they got a... I don't know who Slashdot is.
	They're an internet website.
	Can I give the address?
	No.
	I'll give you an email about it.
	Alright, send me an email.
	Yes, I'm sure many things are said about Robert Bigelow.
	You cannot be that high-profile without having a lot of things said about you, most of them utter trash.
	That's just the way it is, and you learn to accept that if you're a high-profile person of any sort.
	You learn to accept 99.9% of what is said about you.
	And you sort of just let it roll away, because it's not going to stop.
	That's just the way it goes.
	When you're a public person, people say things about you.
	Well, to the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Good evening, Art Bell.
	Good evening.
	This is John Cullen from Lincoln City, Oregon, right on the 45-degree line.
	Yes, sir.
	Okay, this is called my nuclear nightmare.
	Nuclear?
	Yes.
	I had a trucking company back east, out of Maryland, okay?
	Yes.
	Uh, we had a delivery to do to Peach Bottom Nuclear Power Plant in Delta, Pennsylvania.
	Do you guys ask about your loads when your destination is something like that?
	Well, I was given a map by the salesman to follow, right, this road, right?
	Yes.
	We had ten copiers on the truck, okay?
	Ten what?
	Copying machines.
	I delivered copying machines.
	For a particular... Yes.
	I don't know if I can say their name.
	No, that's alright.
	Okay.
	So, anyway, I follow this map and it takes me down Adam Road.
	And I had an 18-foot box truck, a GMC V6 4000.
	Right.
	Okay.
	And I'm driving down this road, Adam Road, we get there, you know, and man, it's pretty washed out and I can't believe this.
	So, anyway, I get to the bottom of the road and there's a 1x6 with two 2x4s.
	And nobody around and so I move the 1x6 and the 2x4's and drive my truck through and I see a sign that says administration building and I look at my delivery sheet and I got four copiers going to the administration building.
	So I drive in and you know I get to the administration building.
	I got four copiers off the truck.
	This woman comes walking out and I go Do you know a Mrs. Dixon?
	I have to deliver these copies.
	She goes, where's your guard?
	Where's your badge?
	Your guard and your badge?
	Yeah, right.
	So she walks over to the wall right by the door and hits this red button.
	All these guys appear with guns and dogs and mirrors that look underneath my truck.
	You're kidding!
	Oh no, I'm not kidding at all.
	So, what have you wandered into?
	Their old washed out road had absolutely no security at all.
	The new road that they had built, because the Peach Bottom Nuclear Power Plant sits on the rock bed, basically, of the Susquehanna River.
	Also, the administration building's main hallway leads to two, at that time, two online reactors.
	And so, oh gee, you surprised them, didn't you?
	I sure did.
	In fact, I had to sign a statement that said I would not go to the press with this.
	And when I got back to the company, we were in a lot of trouble.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	And so, you're telling me...
	You're telling me that they were so freaked out about this, they didn't want the press to know, they made you sign a statement saying you wouldn't tell the press.
	Right.
	That's absolutely right.
	I did call the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and two years later they woke up a guy in one of the online reactor's control rooms by tapping him on the shoulder to wake him up.
	Oh, that's really what I wanted to hear to begin my weekend.
	You know, it really makes one wonder, are they telling us the truth about things?
	Probably not.
	Well, I'm telling you the truth.
	I hear that.
	I mean, here you are on, I mean, you did sign that, right?
	Yeah, I did.
	Under duress.
	Under duress?
	Under my name, yeah.
	Well, at least you can laugh about it.
	Thanks for the call, sir.
	You're quite welcome.
	Take care.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	How are you doing, Art?
	I'm doing all right.
	We don't have a lot of time here.
	I'm listening on the Big 89 in Chicago.
	Yes, sir.
	I wanted to tell you, well, it's kind of a truth or trash thing, but it's quick.
	I want to say 47% of the U.S.
	base closings in America, the only change made to the bases themselves Where they were cleaned out and the barbed wire was turned to the inside of the fences.
	Oh.
	Interesting.
	Yes.
	And I have, actually, eyewitnesses.
	I got a buddy that went out to Montana and South Dakota and saw about six of them.
	And you think these are... You never know, Art.
	...concentration camps, right?
	You know, I heard another theory that they were gonna clean out the population between The Pacific Ocean and I think the Mississippi River.
	That'd be quite a few of us.
	There's a lot of us out there.
	And you know, it goes along with the UN owning the Grand National Parks and all that stuff.
	Well, so you're an actual eyewitness, huh?
	I'm not the eyewitness, but I'm secondhand to the eyewitness.
	I trust this man impeccably.
	Well, I know, but it's always someone else told me.
	I know.
	I wish I had a real eyewitness.
	Re-education camps.
	I'm glad you're back.
	Say goodnight to the world.
	Goodnight.
	Goodnight, Earth.
	That's the way to do it.
	That's all the time there is.
	You've heard what's coming next week, but that's it for now.
	From the high desert, I'm Art Bell.
