unidentified		Welcome to Art Bell's Summer in Time.
unidentified		Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from June 1st, 2001.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		From the high desert in the great American Southwest, happy to all keeping, and or good morning or afternoon, wherever you may be across the cosmos, and there'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 WTNCFM.
		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.
unidentified		But from 1 a.m. in North Carolina, it's talking with us.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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 prepeed 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 beachfront in 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 Colombia'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 cinderblock slum homes.
		It's home to about a million.
		But Bogota, Columbia, 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 Rowlands, 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 Kiviat, who's California-based Kiviat 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 £20,000.
		Going to 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 Republican.
		It says that Arizona is facing the possibility of rolling 20-minute blackouts this summer, according to Governor Jane Hull.
		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, 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 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.
	It's 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 simply is unable to judge paranormal stories.
	You know, 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 O, 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 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 figures for you in return votes from your compatriots.
	So that is what we are going to do eventually this night.
	In the meantime, we'll contemplate blackouts, do a little break, and be right back.

art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let me ask you this.
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Music 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, and I'm not going to say anymore.
		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 bond, 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 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, just settling down to sleep.
		My husband was out of town at the time.
		I was letting the dog 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 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 churned 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 shrugged 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 electronics 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.
		Deader than a doornail.
		I would have had a heart attack.
		So, not yet.
		Well, I'm telling you, 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.
		Are you machines listening?
	Well, all right.
	I've got one other story that I'm going to kind of hold.
	This lady wrote me about her cat, and I thought I had a cat tail.
	You ought to hear what this lady's got.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
unidentified		Hi, Art.
unidentified		I wanted to try that truth or trash, is that what you call it?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's what I call it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Are we ready for that?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well.
unidentified		Or is it too early?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
		I'll show you how I do the screening process here, all right, since I pick you up cold.
		I screen for this because I need really, and I want really good stories.
unidentified		I've got a good one.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		High-class stories.
unidentified		Gotcha.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		Understood, yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		Now go ahead and start.
		This was early 1945.
		My father was in the Air Force.
		He was based on Tunyan 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 to torch ten 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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Broken neck.
unidentified		He had a broken neck.
		No bullet wounds.
		Nothing.
		How did he land the aircraft?
		There was no crackup at all.
		Plane was in perfect condition.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Plane landed normally.
unidentified		Plane landed normally.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Um, well.
unidentified		Taxi stopped.
		Engine stopped.
		It freaked all those guys up.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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?
unidentified		I don't know that one.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Listen, hold on.
		I'm going to think about this during my break, all right?
unidentified		Sure.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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?
unidentified		Could it possibly be true?
		You're listening to Ark Bell somewhere in time.
		Tonight, featuring a replay of Coast to Coast AM from June 1st, 2001.
		Travel the world and the 17.
		Everybody is looking for something.
		Some of them want to use you.
		Some of them want to get used by you.
		Some of them want to abuse you.
		Some of them want to be abused.
		I thought I wasn't looking for And then you moved in next door, pretty blue eyes.
		Pretty blue eyes.
		All the guys from the neighborhood keep saying you sure look good with your blue eyes.
		Pretty blue eyes.
		Saw you from my window, my heart's hit the beat.
		Gonna sit by your doorstep so that I can be pretty blue eyes.
		Please come up today 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's hit the beat.
		Gonna sit by your doorstep so that I can be.
		You're listening to our fellow Summer in Time on Premier Radio Networks.
		Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from June 1st, 2001.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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 at it a few times.
		Plane landed, taxied, engine off.
		They went and checked the pilot, and he had a broken neck.
		Does that about sum it up, sir?
unidentified		Yes, it does.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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?
unidentified		Understood.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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 Tinnian truth or Tinian trash?
unidentified		Well, I believe it's true.
unidentified		I really do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, one for true.
		Thank you very much.
		Wildcard line, you are on the air.
		Truth or trash?
		Hi.
		Hi.
		So truth or trash for the story?
unidentified		As far as, I mean, it very well could be truth.
unidentified		I'm trying to get through the.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I know, but you're not.
		You're a jury right now.
		You've got to call.
		That's all right.
		You think you lead toward truth, huh?
unidentified		I can believe it.
		I don't really have any basis on it.
		Actually, I was trying to get through to tell you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I know you were.
		I know you were.
		You'll have to get back with me to do that.
		First time caller line, you're on the air.
		Truth or trash?
		That's truth.
		You really think it's true?
unidentified		I do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, all right, that's true.
unidentified		You called about something complex.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I understand everybody did, but when you're on a jury, that's all you get to say.
		All right.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		The Tinian truth or trash story.
		What do you think?
unidentified		I think he's telling the truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You think it's the truth?
		Wow.
		All right.
		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?
unidentified		Yes, it is, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you didn't fool anybody.
unidentified		Evidently.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You told it too well.
		Oh, damn it.
		So now I do have to know more.
unidentified		It's not, quote, documented.
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, so how did he get his neck broken?
unidentified		No one knows.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No one knows.
unidentified		No one that I've spoken with.
		They don't have a clue.
		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So it's a true story, huh?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you didn't fool him.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's one for the jury.
unidentified		Understood, buddy.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, thanks.
unidentified		You bet.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Take care.
		All right.
		So you get the idea.
		If anybody out there has a sensational story, and he was on the right track there, definitely, with this 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.
unidentified		okay we'll be right back Bye.
unidentified		Now we take you back to the night of June 1st, 2001, on Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The End 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 a 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, we'll go fishing for another good story here.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Hello, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		This is Mike from Queber.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, Mike.
unidentified		Yeah, cause an alien abduction story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, I appreciate it, Mike, but see, 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.
unidentified		Yes, Mr. Bell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		My name is Tom.
		Call from Redding, California.
		Yes, sir.
		I'm from Real Talk Show.
		Anyway, I got a good one.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, your radio's on, first of all.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Turn that radio off.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Got to get that radio off.
unidentified		That's awful.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Number two, it can't be about the paranormal.
unidentified		Yes, sir.
unidentified		It's not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let's hear it.
unidentified		Okay.
		Me and my fiancé, about three months ago, we were camping up there around Lake Shasta.
		We were about like a half a mile away from the lake.
		It was like maybe midnight.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And we're fooling 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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		This is a paranormal story, sir.
unidentified		Well, that's a paranormal.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, Bigfoot is, well, I mean, it's likely the paranormal, so I'm going to disqualify it.
		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 aligned, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Art, hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		Have you ever heard of a book called Air Combat for the 80s, Red Flag?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What is that, Operation Red Flag, you mean?
unidentified		It's called Red Flag, Air Combat for the 80s by Michael Skinner.
unidentified		Huh.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We have an Operation Red Flag out here at Nellis usually every year.
unidentified		Yes, this book is replete with pictures of the Nellis base.
unidentified		In fact, it has pictures of our favorite base that doesn't exist.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Area 51?
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		Now, what I want to point out is something.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'll tell you a little secret, sir.
		Yes.
		You can take a commercial flight from Las Vegas to San Francisco, and about half the time, when you do, the pilot will point out the right side of the aircraft, folks, over there, the infamous Area 51.
unidentified		I have heard that.
		Yes, I've heard that.
		that's true there's a there's a passage in this book and um...
		in a and i'm fishing for the for the title of the chapter which i can put FAM stands for Familiarization Ride over the Area.
		But just to cut to the chase, it starts describing the 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.
		It 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 there?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The Dreamland Munchkins?
unidentified		Yes, I've tracked him down.
		I emailed him.
		He does not respond to me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, let me tell you a little secret.
		We have an operation going on out here right now, over my valley, right now, nighttime secret operation.
		And 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, boom.
unidentified		My parents live at the northwest corner of Las Vegas.
		I come out about every four months and visit.
		And I do nothing but ride around that area.
		I've been up to Angel Peak, which 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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, thank you very much.
		I wish that I had my 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 that operation going on along the ridge line.
		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?
unidentified		Yes, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Shall we dance?
unidentified		Hello?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now we've done this three times already.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Yes, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Don't call me sir.
		I'm not a sir.
		Now turn your radio off.
unidentified		Sorry about that.
unidentified		Are you still doing your stories?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, you're doing the stories.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm just listening.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you have one?
unidentified		Yes, I think I have a pretty good one.
unidentified		I hope you don't classify it as paranormal.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that probably means I will then.
unidentified		Well...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Does it involve a ghost, a shadow person, or...
unidentified		No, I was about five, six years old.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And I was out playing in my garage at my home.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And there was a storm coming in.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And it was kind of dark clouds and everything.
		Yes.
		And I found something very strange happen.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let me give you a little drop.
		That's the storm.
		That kind of storm.
		Anyway.
unidentified		And I saw this space in the sky.
unidentified		It was very, very weird.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, remember, this is already a paranormal story.
unidentified		You think so?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, of course.
		Face in the sky?
		Come on.
		That's paranormal all the way.
		Sure, no, no.
		We can't.
		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.
		So 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 line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Hi, Arn.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How are you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, and you're in a big truck.
unidentified		I'm in a big truck here.
unidentified		This is for you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I love that.
unidentified		How you doing?
unidentified		First time we're getting through here.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
unidentified		All right.
		In Valparaiso, Indiana, the police were called to a motel.
		Inside the motel room, they found blood on the sheets and feathers everywhere.
		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I am not about to ask a group of people about that.
unidentified		I just am not going to do it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Extinguish your radio immediately.
unidentified		It is extinguished, Mr. Belt.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, do you have a story?
unidentified		Yes, I do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Is it a good one outside the world of the paranormal?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
unidentified		And it doesn't involve chickens.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, let's hear it.
unidentified		I was stationed at Altus Air Force Base, working there as a firefighter in the Air Force, when one day, a Fulberg 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 his 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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, by the way?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Usually it's, you know, blood.
		Give blood.
		Right, right.
		This wasn't Colonel Sanders, right?
unidentified		No, it was not Colonel Sanders.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So he instructed, this Colonel instructed these, what, pilots?
unidentified		No, firefighters.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Firefighters.
unidentified		Crash, fire, and rescue.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That it would be an unusual ship, but there would be humans.
unidentified		Right.
unidentified		This was back in 1983.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And okay, give me the rest of the story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What happened?
unidentified		Well, basically, that's it.
unidentified		We never did get an in-flight emergency on it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I see.
		You know, but it never happened.
		It never actually happened.
unidentified		No, no, but the colonel did show up.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		He came back?
unidentified		No, I mean, he, you know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you mean he showed up and gave his little speech?
unidentified		Right, right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, well, I think I will choose not to submit that one.
		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?
		All right, well, I think I was east of air.
		Hello.
		Well, would have been.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi.
unidentified		Unbelievable.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Possibly.
unidentified		This is unbelievable.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, there are a lot of unbelievable things that happen in life.
unidentified		There is.
		One second.
		I'm going to go to my cordless.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hold on.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why are you going to your cordless?
unidentified		Because I'm in the wrong room.
		I need to go into my other room.
		My name is Steve.
		I'm calling from Kauai.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Kauai.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, Steve.
unidentified		I have a story to tell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm listening.
unidentified		I was listening to your show a couple of weeks ago.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And Dr. Kaku, is that his name, correct?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		doctor for curious uh...
unidentified		you have it No, that's his quest.
unidentified		That's his quest.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In other words, Einstein left us with the theory of everything Yet to find, and it is his quest as well.
unidentified		Right.
unidentified		Well, my heart is racing right now, and I have an incredible story to tell, and it could take a long time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I can't give you a long time.
unidentified		Okay, I can lay it out for you right now.
		The theory, I have come across an equation of just three numbers.
		He said it could be about an inch long.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, he said that.
		That's about what it is.
		Are you telling us you have come up with a theory of everything?
		That's where we're going here, right?
unidentified		Well, what do you think that means, Art?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What do I think the theory of everything means?
unidentified		What do you think I've been through to discover the theory of everything?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A black hole.
unidentified		Absolutely.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		On right?
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that sounds stressful, perhaps, but not a black black hole.
unidentified		It's memorable, and the reason it's so hard to solve.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, but a black hole would rip your atoms to pieces, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You would now be scattered to the universe as is light.
unidentified		That's true.
		In this third-dimensional world, I never went through a black hole.
		Okay, so we 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.
		And I can basically just, I'm just going to put this out on the air and let the physicists and the scientists and everything tear it up.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Lay it on us.
unidentified		It's analytically, if you look at it from the left side of your brain, it's 1 plus 1 equals 8.
		Okay?
		That's how easy it is.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		1 plus 1 equals 8.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but now probably not too easy to explain, though, huh?
unidentified		It would take me hours and hours and hours and possibly days, possibly.
		Not right now, because I have nothing to sell.
		I haven't written a book.
		and not yet, anyways.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Maybe Dr. Kaku is listening to the radio right now.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Maybe like 15 seconds after you said 1 plus 1 equals 80, he went, oh, my God.
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'll tell you what.
unidentified		What's up?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm willing to fish in the audience and think if they, see if they think you found the solution to everything.
unidentified		Are you going to keep me on the line?
		Yeah.
		Okay, because I don't have, my AM doesn't work.
		I'm out here in the middle of the ocean.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wait a minute.
		Wait a minute.
		You're in the middle of the ocean?
unidentified		Yeah, in my house.
		I don't get AM very well.
		Excuse me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What do you, no, stay with the ocean for a moment?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why are you on the middle of the ocean in the middle?
unidentified		I'm on an island in the middle of the ocean.
		Oh, 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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Free love.
unidentified		Yep, basically.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Is that what you get when you unravel the theory of everything?
unidentified		I believe so.
unidentified		And at this point, I have no formal education other than a high school diploma, and I was always a failure in school.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		I was probably maintained a 1.0 grade average throughout my whole school.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Was it doggone a thing?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A person like yourself coming up with this theory.
unidentified		And I'm going to put the icing on the cake right here.
		I surfed.
		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 scientist friends and i have This is going to surprise you.
		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, it will.
		But I always thought.
		No, no, not at all.
		I actually, I thought that the theory of everything probably would come from a surfer.
unidentified		Well, you're absolutely right, because I don't, I can't claim.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Listen, I think we're going to hold it right there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		One plus one equals eight.
unidentified		Oh, my God.
		That's it?
		You're listening to Arkbell Somewhere in Time on Premiere Radio Networks tonight.
		An encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from June 1st, 2001.
		I'll find some crowded avenue.
		Oh, it will be empty without you.
		Can't get used to losing you.
		No matter what I try to do.
		Gonna live my whole life through loving you.
		I call up some girl I used to know.
		A very old friend came by today.
		For he was telling everyone how he just found Every Spanish.
		He talked and talked.
		And I heard him say that she had his white hair.
		The prettiest green dog anywhere.
		and reasoning of his latest fame.
		Though I smiled, the tears inside were burning.
		I wished him luck and then he said goodbye.
		He was gone, but still his words kept returning.
		What else was there for me to do the crime?
		Would you believe that yesterday this girl was in my arms and swore to me She'd be mine eternally and the reason they'd probably display Though I smiled the tears inside were burning I wish I said.
		Premier Radio Networks presents Art Bell Somewhere in Time.
		Tonight's program originated June 1st, 2001.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The truth or trash light is lit.
		Now, listen to me.
		Only the best stories, The choicest stories get submitted to a jury.
		All the others are ejected.
		And I'll be the judge of that.
		And 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?
unidentified		From New Orleans, Louisiana.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		New Orleans, home of the next Super Bowl.
unidentified		Yes, that's right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And I will be there.
		Oh, 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?
unidentified		Bob.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Bob.
		Okay, Bob.
		What have you?
unidentified		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've been standing up for some reason.
		I don't know what.
		And the kid behind me thought he'd play a trick on me, and you know those old desks where the seat comes up.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
unidentified		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, which had been put up, and it hurt like hell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I bet it did.
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hysterics.
unidentified		And I was told by some kids as we were leaving that that was a great act I did, a great show I put on.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You put on a great show.
unidentified		I didn't have the nerve to say, well, what did I do?
		Because I wanted 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 Swiss kick in the ass.
		You go into your act.
		Maybe we can book the thing.
		Nobody has to know.
		So we did this, and I would come out.
		I would be behind a partition of some sort, a curtain or something.
		Nobody would see that I was getting kicked.
		And then I would pass out from the pain, and I would go into this act.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you would do this act on a weekly, nightly?
unidentified		Oh, sometimes three times a week.
		Sometimes it would be more often than that.
		Sometimes I wouldn't know only maybe once a month.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you took your ass kicked an act on the road.
unidentified		Right, and we made a lot of money, and he would never tell me what I did because he was afraid.
		He said, well, look, he was afraid I might leave the act because he knew it was getting painful.
		And he said, look, I'll tell you later.
		Just keep doing the act.
		So you never know.
		He drowned in an accident.
		I never found out what happened.
		By that time, it had gotten so painful and some of the nerves were damaged.
		I've tried it one more time and it didn't work anymore.
		So I'll never know what I did.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I would imagine that there was probably permanent damage to your posterior.
unidentified		I would think so.
unidentified		It still hurts.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where did they have to kick you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right where the butt meets the spine there?
unidentified		It was right in that, wherever that spot was.
		We had to experiment a little bit.
		He found the right spot.
		It was wherever the edge of that seat had hit me when I was in the fifth or sixth grade.
		He found that spot.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It might be just right there at the bottom of the spine.
unidentified		And the pain would be terrific, and then I'd pass out.
unidentified		And I'd go into some kind of an accident.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		And 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.
		Kick-in-the-ass story.
		In fact, career.
		What do you think?
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		Trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash, all right?
		That's one for trash.
		I thought it 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?
unidentified		I think that's trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash, that's two for trash.
		One more, and that's it.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		Trash.
		All right, that's one more.
		Hello?
		Hello?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, speak.
unidentified		Truth or trash?
unidentified		I would absolutely say it has to be trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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?
unidentified		The first part is true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You mean like if you're kicked in the butt there?
unidentified		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?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know what you did?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The second half of the story.
unidentified		The second half is totally a lie.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A lie.
		Well, they got you, Bob.
		Thanks.
		I think it, 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.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hi, Art.
		Hi.
		I have a story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A story.
		All right.
		Is your radio off?
unidentified		It's off.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Is your story non-paranormal?
unidentified		Oh, yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, lay it on me.
unidentified		Well.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, wait a minute.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What is your first name?
unidentified		My name is Nita.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Nita?
unidentified		Nita N-I-T-A.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, got it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Nita.
unidentified		Nice.
unidentified		I'm in Bellevue, Ohio.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		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.
		So she called her husband at work and told him that this lady was coming by to sit by her car.
		So he came home from work and his wife wasn't around.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wasn't there?
unidentified		And the door was open.
		The car was gone.
		And her purse was gone.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, he would presume she was out.
unidentified		He called the police.
		And they found her 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, do a cesarean section, buried the mother of the child in the card, and kept her baby.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my God.
unidentified		And her husband, when the police went into the bedroom to see the woman that had said she had the baby, she blew her brains out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, this just gets cheerier by the second.
unidentified		So the woman's husband that the woman killed quit his job, and he's raising the baby, and it's beautiful.
unidentified		It's a little boy, and they named him Oscar.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oscar.
		Well, okay, I'm not going to submit Oscar's story to, I guess it's Oscar's story, right?
		He's the survivor, to a jury.
		That was horrible.
		And I have a feeling absolutely true.
unidentified		Screams
unidentified		Now we take you back to the night of June 1st, 2001, on Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The International Line, you're on the air.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		Hi, Art.
unidentified		This is Carla from Twinsburg, Ohio.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yes.
unidentified		And I have a Twins Line.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, 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.
unidentified		Hello, Art.
		Yes.
		Good evening.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Good evening.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Good.
unidentified		I've got one for you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, I am listening.
unidentified		Yeah, okay, this one's true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You may have heard about it.
unidentified		No, stop.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You just screwed it up.
unidentified		Oh, well, maybe it isn't true.
unidentified		I could be lying.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, you've already...
unidentified		Well.
unidentified		We'll have to determine.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, all right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let me hear it.
unidentified		All right.
unidentified		Absolute confirmation that Roosevelt knew that Pearl Harbor was going to be attacked.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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.
unidentified		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
unidentified		I got John for you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, you do.
unidentified		Okay, this isn't really paranormal or anything, but.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, why are you qualifying it that way?
unidentified		Because it's about something that somebody might say is spiritual.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, can't take those either.
		I appreciate your call, but we're after only truth or trash stories, and only the best survive.
		First time caller line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		This is Linda in Bellevue.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi, Linda.
unidentified		I have a story that happened to me back in the 70s.
		I was in my, well, I was close to 20 years old.
		Musician traveling, and I was going from North Texas up to Lawton, Oklahoma.
		And it was a really nice night.
		I just left one gig, and I was having two and a half hours place to play.
		And 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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The moon is slowly having bigger and bigger bites taken out.
unidentified		Yeah.
		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, 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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A double eclipse.
unidentified		A double eclipse.
		And I swear, Art, I just couldn't figure it out.
		I sat and watched that until it eclipsed again.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, okay.
		A very interesting story, but not one that I will send to a jury.
		We'll let people comment on that if they want to.
		Two eclipses.
		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 That really can't happen, can it?
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hello, sir.
unidentified		I have a story for you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh?
unidentified		Okay, do you want to know where I'm listening from or anything, or should I count right to the business?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Give me your first name.
unidentified		I'm Nate.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Nate, and where are you?
unidentified		I'm in Pullman, Washington.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Pullman.
		All right.
		Okay, Nate.
		Fire away.
unidentified		Okay.
		I used to be from Massachusetts.
		I worked in Harvard Square.
		I would take the Red Line, which is a subway.
		I'd 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?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		Well, you should check that out.
unidentified		It's about the CIA doing interesting tests on the public.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yes.
unidentified		Okay.
		Well, 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, 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.
		Also, 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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So it was a gaggle of cops.
unidentified		Well, yeah, but it was sketchy.
unidentified		There were the plain clothes, you know, and then there were the uniformed police officers.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Men in blue.
unidentified		Then there were like men in sports coats trying desperately not to look like federal agents, but that's what they look like.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		They always have sunglasses.
unidentified		Exactly.
		Well, they didn't have sunglasses.
		But anyway, so I got on the train, and going southbound towards South Station usually takes 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.
		I was getting clammy.
		I noticed that a lot of the other people on the train were like really fidgety.
		You might have gotten this email just recently, too.
		But anyway, so to go on, they got real fidgety, pale looking.
		A woman, an older woman, started to cough and gag and 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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		They got cut to the chase here.
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But there's no way a jury can really judge that because you don't even know yourself.
unidentified		Okay, sorry to bother you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You see what I'm saying?
unidentified		Yeah, I'm checking out classic.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And I'm not a man.
		Oh, sir.
		Not even close to a man.
		Not a sir either.
		Art.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hey, hi, all right.
unidentified		How are you doing?
		Okay.
		I got a great truth or trash story for you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let's hear it.
unidentified		All right.
		It is definitely not paranormal.
		Okay.
		And 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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And then I'm back here in Virginia, and my name is Clifford.
		And, well, I lived on a rather large farm, along with my grandpa and my uncles.
		And my daddy and my brother and I, my mother, we lived on one end of the farm, and my uncles, my grandpa lived on the other end of the farm.
		And we would, in order to get through, to visit them, we 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 uncle's.
		And he gathered us up 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.
		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 object like a big old bag, you know, stand up with the arms out, you know.
		Well, my daddy speaks to it, but it doesn't say anything to him.
		He speaks to it again, doesn't say nothing to us.
		So he quotes a few adjectives.
		Tells him that he's going to, if you don't talk to me, you're going to get out of the path because my family's coming through.
		Well, Daddy, well, like a, that daddy just draws back, gets one of these runs on him, you know.
		And he hits that thing, that big old black object with his hand and arms hanging out, just really, really, really hard.
		And hits it with a real loud thump.
		You know, you hear that, boom.
		Well, my pop, he just falls back on the ground, halfway knocked out.
		It looks like he's laying there half unconscious, and you can just barely hear him moan and groaning.
		And my mama, she's looking at she's trying to holler the daddy, you know, his name is Eric.
		Eric, you're okay, you know, and he doesn't say anything.
		He's just laying there moaning.
		Well, mama said, well, mom makes some, me and my two little man, my brother, we kind of nervous and scared.
		We don't want to think.
		But my mama makes us kind of comment like, well, heck, if Eric ain't got him, ain't nothing I can do to get him.
		So she walks on over there, and that's the big old black Arctic eating it and Dana saying nothing and everything.
		And she leans over, look at Daddy.
		And Daddy, he's coming, she comes, because Arch couldn't come in too, and he looks up at Mama.
		And the first word comes out of his mouth is, did we get him?
		Well, you know what?
		He hit Arch?
		It was a stump.
		It was about a six or seven foot stump.
		It knocked him out just about coal.
		And my mama and daddy, as we, my mama kept her off the ground.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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.
unidentified		Definitely truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is the truth?
unidentified		Definitely the truth.
		And there's a little more to it.
		My mama and daddy walked through those woods the rest of the way through them woods about another thousand yards.
		My mama 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 coming back down where that tree trunk was, and he believed me, he cut it down.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, he certainly would never live it down.
		Knocked out.
		Did we get it?
		All right, sir.
		Thank you.
unidentified		Oh, I enjoy your show, Mars.
		You helped me.
		I've been listening to you now for almost four years.
		I've enjoyed great.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, sir.

art bell ▲ ● ▼		This is just a laid-back Friday night, Saturday morning.
		We're playing truth or trash.
		No paranormal stories.
		But remember, you're allowed to lie.
		The big one.
		Only the very best of stories get submitted to a jury for judgment, three out of five.
		Your job, should you decide to accept it, is to try and fool the jury.
		Tell a big one or tell a true one.
		All right, so let's give this one a try.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Hello, what is your first name, please?
unidentified		Hi, Erb.
unidentified		This is Tom Collin from Streamwood, Illinois.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Tom?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		We're at WLS.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We're at WLS Chicago, of course.
unidentified		I got a good story for you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, let's hear it.
unidentified		Okay.
		This happened a long time ago when I was just a kid.
		But my grandparents took me up to this lake that they used to go to up in Wisconsin all the time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yes.
unidentified		And they had their little areas of beach where all the people would go.
unidentified		And they had slides in the water and everything.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I went to places like that when I was young, too.
unidentified		Oh, yeah, they didn't dock down on the lake.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		My grandpa would dock his boat, take 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.
		It'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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Black.
unidentified		Black cloud.
unidentified		Like a big black thundercloud.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Gotcha.
unidentified		And it's coming over the lake.
		And I'm just looking at it.
		And I don't know how close it got to us, but someone yelled, bees.
		Bees?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Bees.
unidentified		And everybody started running.
		Oh, remember my grandma grabbed me by my shoulders like a vulture.
		The talons just grabbed in.
		And she just, everyone started running.
		And they had a little area for the people, like a changing area.
		There was another little house where a bar was.
		And we attached that.
		There was a little pinball room or whatever.
		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		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 onto windows, shaking them, screaming.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You mean on the outside?
unidentified		On the outside.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You mean wanting to get in?
unidentified		Wanting to get in.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		oh my god, and so you were inside and they were out there getting...
unidentified		There was people pinning the door shut.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What a story.
unidentified		Yeah, I have economy to this day.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you want to hold it there and be judged?
		Yes?
		Is that a yes?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		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.
unidentified		Yes, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, do you think that that be truth or be trash?
unidentified		I've got a truth or trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, no, no, no, no.
		This is jury time here.
		Truth or trash on the B story.
unidentified		No, that one is true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You think it's true, all right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You think they'd really leave people in and outside screaming?
unidentified		Yeah, people are cruel.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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?
unidentified		I think it's truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You think it's true?
		That's two.
		You really think people could be so cold, huh?
unidentified		I definitely do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Let's continue here.
		West of the Rockies, truth or trash on the Bee Story?
unidentified		Truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
		Yes.
		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.
unidentified		I didn't fool anybody.
unidentified		It was true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, this time the jury is really, this is like, what, three in a row, four in a row for the jury?
		All right.
		Thank you very much.
unidentified		No problem.
unidentified		Thank you very much.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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.
unidentified		Imagine the people, my God, giving stone pounding on the windows.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
		Hi, Art.
		This is Tim calling from the Blowtorch of the Pacific Northwest in Portland, Oregon.
		KEX Radio 1190.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's the way to do it.
unidentified		I've got a story about for your jury.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Maybe.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let me hear it.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		This is one case where it has to go to the judge first, then the jury.
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		Many years ago, I was in West Lafayette, Indiana, where Purdue University is, and I was visiting with one of my friends, and he got off to work that Sunday morning, and I went out there to work on my van to get it started, so I crawled underneath it with a coat hanger to unfreeze a sticky solenoid.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		And mind you, now, there's an ignition that's not on.
unidentified		Matter of fact, I don't think the key was in the ignition.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Nevertheless, this story has Darwin written all over it.
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Continue.
unidentified		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.
		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It was a van, actually.
		A van?
		Yeah.
		What part of your body did it run over?
unidentified		My chest.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my God.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you mean it perched on top of you, or it just rolled over you and kept going?
unidentified		It just eventually kept inching its way up the side of my chest as I kept trying to crawl from under it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		God, you mean it was like getting traction on you?
unidentified		Yeah, inch by inch.
		Ah.
		Gradually, uh...
		Oh.
		And 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, and they couldn't get it open, so they were freaking out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And the car was on top of you at this point?
unidentified		Just about.
		So they went and grabbed the bumper on the side where it was, where the wheel was, the right side.
		Yeah.
		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 chest.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, they probably were.
unidentified		Jeez.
		All right, so the van went where?
		It just kept going.
		It kept going.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It went all the way over.
unidentified		It just rolled up the street and eventually quit.
		They unshorted itself.
		I don't know how I did it, but here I was laying flat on my back, just amazed.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And here you are living to tell about this story.
unidentified		Yes, got up off the ground, too.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And stood up?
unidentified		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		All right.
		And your first name again was?
		All right, Tim.
unidentified		Hold on.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm putting you on hold for judgment from your peers.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The Van Story.
unidentified		Oh, God.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That was a horrible story.
		Horrible.
		Horrible.
		Could it be true?
		First time caller line, the van story upon the chest.
		True or false?
		Truth or trash?
		Hello?
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, truth or trash, sir.
unidentified		I'm going to say trash.
unidentified		Trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You don't believe that?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		i do not know the person could survive No.
unidentified		It's not the heaviness, it's just the...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Made up.
		Made up.
		Yeah, all right, I got you.
		That's one on the negative side.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		Truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Truth?
unidentified		Yeah, I think the guy could probably stand it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I might stand that.
		I don't know.
		Thanks.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified		What do you think?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Truth or trash?
unidentified		I think that's trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash, okay.
		One more for trash, and he has been trashed.
		First time caller line, you're on the air.
		Truth or trash on the van on the chest story?
unidentified		Definitely trash, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash.
		That's three in a row for trash.
		All right.
		Let's go back to our storyteller.
		All right, my friend, you're back on the air.
unidentified		Yes.
unidentified		It's all true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's true?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You swear?
unidentified		I swear.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You swear by the tire marks on your chest.
unidentified		Yeah, by the tire marks on my chest.
unidentified		And it was also the day that the Iranians took over the embassy back in 79, November 19th.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So that's how you remember it.
unidentified		And there was a full moon rising in the east that day, too.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I think there's one on the way up tonight.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you very much for the call.
unidentified		You're welcome.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And thanks for completely screwing up the panel.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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.
unidentified		Seems to me that could probably do the whole job.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my word.
		We will be right back.
		Probably.
unidentified		8.
		You're listening to Arkbell Somewhere in Time on Premier Radio Networks.
		Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from June 1st, 2001.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, listen, remember, if I put you on a jury after a story, as a way of saying thank you for that, when you come online, you're welcome to say your name and where you're calling from and then render your verdict.
		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, all right?
unidentified		Hello?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello?
		Oh, yeah.
		Yeah.
unidentified		Yeah, this is this witness for a story, or am I aware of it?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I was using it loosely, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What is your first name?
unidentified		My name is Dave.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Dave?
		Okay.
		And we are ready to receive your story, Dave.
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You were swimming, what, in the ocean?
unidentified		Yeah, in the ocean in Galveston.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, okay.
unidentified		In the Gulf of Mexico.
unidentified		Right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, that's really sad.
unidentified		And then about, oh, I guess it was about eight years later, I got a package in the mail.
		And it was a package, and it was a note from a fisherman in Virginia.
		And he had caught a fish that had my ring in the back.
		In Virginia.
		in Virginia.
		This guy was off of a...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		If you had to go by water to get from Galveston to Virginia, that's a long way.
unidentified		Well, he had about eight years to get there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Did he tell you what kind of fish?
		Well, good point.
		Did he tell you what kind of fish it was?
unidentified		It was a big fish.
		I think it was a shark, but I don't remember.
		This happened, gosh, this was back in the 53.
		It's probably around 60 something, somewhere in there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		When you actually got the package?
unidentified		When I got the package, they had looked me up.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Was it all right?
unidentified		My ring.
unidentified		Well, it had one little scar in the ring.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The adjustment scar.
unidentified		And I have no idea.
unidentified		Oh, and the neat part about it was that it was not only the ring, but there was a piece of a compass and a silver dollar.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And he said that with it?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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 line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Yes, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Name and location?
unidentified		David, New Jersey.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, David, New Jersey.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Truth or trash?
unidentified		I don't know.
unidentified		I'm going to say truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You believed he did sound sincere, didn't he?
unidentified		I've heard some fish stories.
unidentified		This one sounds believable.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It does indeed.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But that's a very long way.
unidentified		Yeah, I agree.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, but nevertheless, you register truth.
		Thank you very much.
		Wildcard line, name and location, please.
unidentified		From Duluth, Minnesota.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sorry, Mr. Name.
unidentified		Matt?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Matt.
		Okay, Matt.
		What do you think?
unidentified		From Duluth, Minnesota?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		on our ring story here.
unidentified		I think that was...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash?
unidentified		Really?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Even with all that sincerity in his voice?
unidentified		Yeah, I just don't think for a million years that could actually happen.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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.
unidentified		Ingo from Milwaukee.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		What do you say, truth or trash?
		I think that's the truth.
		The ring of truth.
unidentified		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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?
		Stephen Phoenix.
		Okay, and what do you think?
unidentified		We're still on the fish story at the time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We are.
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I know.
		I read this story in the first hour.
		Your governor has said like 20-minute blackouts in Arizona.
unidentified		For 160 hours in a state that produces 130% of its peak energy needs.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I know, but your neighbor has needs.
unidentified		Well, this is only in states that have nuclear energy.
unidentified		It's not any other state.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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.
		All right.
		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?
unidentified		That was just pure trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash?
unidentified		You got them.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't know how you did it, sir.
		Fish stories rarely survive, but this one, you nailed them solid, bringing the average up for the caller.
		Thank you.
unidentified		Thank you.
unidentified		Bye-bye.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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.
unidentified		Hello, my name is Checkmate.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Checkmate?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Nobody is named Checkmate.
unidentified		That's my name.
unidentified		I'm from Reno, Nevada.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Your parents called you Checkmate.
unidentified		That's correct.
unidentified		And I'm on a yacht in the middle of Lake Tahoe.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're in the middle of Lake Tahoe right now?
unidentified		That's correct.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Gee, I could almost put a jury on that one.
		Okay, do you have a story for us?
		Is that why you're calling?
unidentified		Yes, I do.
unidentified		I used to be, 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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So that's why you're on a yacht, huh?
unidentified		That's correct.

		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?
unidentified		That's correct.
unidentified		Very golden.

art bell ▲ ● ▼		Certainly not to give it to us normal people.
unidentified		Exactly.

unidentified		I have to tell you, the government is so afraid of this.

unidentified		Hi there.
unidentified		I had a story for Art.

art bell ▲ ● ▼		What is your name and where are you?
unidentified		I'm Ed from Wisconsin.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Ed, turn your radio off, please.
unidentified		Okay, my radio is off.
		I'm a police officer.
		I have another one on.
		I'm sorry about that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you're a police officer, all right?
unidentified		Anyways, this happened on Christmas Eve a few years back, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
unidentified		And I was going, me and Rex, Rex as a dog, was in the back seat, and we were heading somewhere, and it was snowing out, and we come across this car that was broke down.

		Sure.
		As I'm up talking to the guy, I noticed that there's no key in the ignition.
		They're not wired, okay?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yes.
unidentified		So I have the guy get out of the car, and I know he's acting a little hanky, because 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 we struggled for a few minutes, and pretty soon, Rex was on top and bit him right on top of the head.
		This guy, excruciating pain.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Your dog bit him on the head?
unidentified		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		He came 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.
		And like I said, it was Christmas Eve, and it was, you know, it was a different night.
		And 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 and 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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you mean Rex wasn't a police dog?
unidentified		No, no.
		He was a German Shepherd.
		Old German Shepherd.
		And, you know, it's also strange that it happens on a Christmas Eve.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, it is.
unidentified		But anyways, I put him in there, and off to jail, I went to do the rest of the paperwork with the stolen vehicle and the suspect and stuff.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		Hold on a moment, if you can, Ed.
		Let's find out.

		I got a story for you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you better get in a good location because you're cutting in and out.
unidentified		How's that?
unidentified		Is that better?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, try that.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Proceed.
unidentified		All right.
		Well, story I, my mother-in-law, she's working in a cannon factory down in New Zealand.
		And it was after the movie Face Off came out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And she worked in a fishing cannon factory.
		And she was canning the fish in the processor.
		And she got too close to the machinery.
		And it kind of got a hold of her face.
		And it peeled her face down.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my God.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You mean like in Face Off?
unidentified		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 re-able to attach it.
		And all there was just a minor blemish around her face.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And her face literally peeled off.
unidentified		Right, just like in the movie, the way they had the face off.
unidentified		Ah!
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, all right, that's just the kind of story I'm after.

art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is.
		All right.
		Well, thank you very much.

		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		Trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You don't believe that story?
unidentified		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You don't think a face could be torn off and put back on again?
unidentified		I don't think that the nerves and stuff would survive.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, it might in a short time.
		I'm just trying to give some credence to it.
		First time caller line, you're on the air.
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		Truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You think it's true?

art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, I can't.
unidentified		Come on.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, can't do it.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		I registered that as truth.
		We're 2-2 now.
		The deciding vote is here on the West of the Rockies line.
		Was the face-off story truth or trash?
unidentified		Third time on your jury, it's trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		I got a great story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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.
unidentified		Well, part of the story is false, but the situation is true.
		It's told by Paul Harvey on his radio.
		Wishing it was my mother-in-law, but it wasn't.
		But Paul Harvey said it, and every time I've heard of Paul Harvey's story, I believe it.
		And it happened right after the movie came out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't know then how to mark that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In other words, you made some of it up, right?
unidentified		What's that?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You made some of it up, right?
unidentified		I'm sorry.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Do we have time for a story or am I still voting?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, I have time.
unidentified		Oh, it's great.
		My name's Tommy.
		I'm from New Jersey.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, Tom.
unidentified		All right.
		Here's a story.
		It took place out here.
		And what happened was, very eccentric loner man out here in Piscataway, New Jersey, what he did was he was a strange man.
		Nobody 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 nature.
		So his local parish or priest of that nature went over and checked out the house to, I guess, account for some of the things that he may have had, I guess, to help him see if he could find some heirs to the whatever fortune.
		I apologize.
		Whatever fortune he might have.
		So they're going through all the stuff and they find that this guy pretty much lived like a pig and there was stuff all over the place.
		And he seemed to have a fixation with paper where he put paper and clothes, paper, and this, paper, and there.
		But in between some of the paper, they found money.
		Lots of money.
		They found it actually added up to about a half a million dollars.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my.
unidentified		Yeah, so they count all this, and what they do is they count it, they put it aside, and what they do is they go home the next day.
		Well, this is the strange part is in the story.
		So when they come back the next day, when this preacher comes back, the next day, the house is gone.
		There's not a splinter, there's not a board, gone.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The house is gone.
unidentified		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 the only thing was found is they found some holes around the property, so they think maybe word got out, and people started raiding the hole for money.
		But the entire house was gone.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How would they take the whole house?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		People might raid it, but how are they going to take every last stick of everything?
unidentified		I honestly, I couldn't tell you.
unidentified		I guess you'll have to put that up to the jury.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, I'll try it.
		An entire house disappears.
		Half million dollars, but everything gone.
		I mean, not even so much as a stick of anything left.
		You think that's truth or trash?
unidentified		Oh, I think that's trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash, okay.
		I'm leaning that way myself.
		First time caller line, you're on the air.
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		I think that's trash.
unidentified		I think it's just trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash, all right.
		Thank you.
		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?
		Oh, I didn't have the button pushed.
		First time caller line, now you're on the air.

unidentified		Hello?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Going once.
		Going twice, gone.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Hello?
unidentified		Nah, total trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Total trash.
		Thank you very much.
		Back now to the storyteller.
		They say trash.
unidentified		I think I did good art, and not only that, I actually put a book at that apprentice, of course, and a recent magazine article in my area.
unidentified		The Source True.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The Source I know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The Source True?
unidentified		From an article I read.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, see, that's the way to do it, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You aced them big time.
unidentified		Thank you.
unidentified		I appreciate it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You also aced me, because I would have said, you swear this is true, right?
unidentified		Can I name any magazine?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, absolutely.
unidentified		Okay, the magazine's a local magazine about folklore, legends, ghosts, paranormal.
		It's called Weird New Jersey.
		Now, this article was 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 Breyer Affair.
		It was almost Blair spelled differently.
		But the magazine, and you probably could find it on the internet, is Weird New Jersey, and they just recently put an article out there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, you're telling me it's a true story, anyway.
unidentified		Well, as far as what I read, I mean, I did try to fool the, but I had read an article on the subject.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It was the way you told the story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It didn't sound believable at all, actually.
unidentified		Actually, well, I invite you to look it up, and I'm telling the story as it was read to me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		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?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where are you?
unidentified		Gardena, but this is Los Angeles.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Ah, I see.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, go right ahead.
unidentified		Okay, there was a story I heard about why Robert Horry considers, he's a Laker, considers number five budget 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 stored some stitches or whatever, the stitches come out as a five.
		The stitches hook around his big toe, go off about three toes, and come back and make a five on his foot.
		And he's always considered five lucky.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You kidding.
unidentified		True.
unidentified		Oh.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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?
unidentified		It's a lie.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's a lie.
unidentified		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, listen, let me tell you, you sold me.
		I would have said 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.
unidentified		You're listening to Arkbell Somewhere in Time.
		Tonight featuring a replay of Coast to Coast AM from June 1st, 2001.

		And she was about three.
		And 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 back field.
		And I was backing up the tractor.
		We were 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 backed over.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my God.
unidentified		Run her right over.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my God.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A three-year-old?
unidentified		Yep, she was three years old.
		Ran her right over.
		And I saw just the sinking feeling that you get.
		And jumped down from the tractor and pulled her out.
		And thank God the angels must have been watching because the mud was soft enough that she never got hurt.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Then it mushed her into the mud?
unidentified		Pushed her right down into the mud.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, that's incredible.
		All right.
		That's enough.
		Hold it right there, John.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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.
unidentified		How you doing?
		This is Dawn from Erie PA.
		Yes, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's it, the way to do it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Truth or trash?
unidentified		I think it's trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you do?
		Yeah.
		You don't think that could happen?
unidentified		Nope.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A little bundle of a three-year-old getting mushed into the ground living?
unidentified		No, I don't think something like that could happen.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Thank you.
		Trash.
		He trashes it.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello there.
unidentified		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Tell us who you are and where.
unidentified		I'm Marcy from Altaloma.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Marcy.
		All right, Marcy.
		That's quite a story there.
unidentified		Yeah, it is.
		What do you think?
		I'd have to say truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Truth?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The ring of truth.
unidentified		Just because I've heard so many stories similar to like that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Like a miracle, huh?
unidentified		Yeah, like this one kid, he was ran over by his mom.
		She didn't see him.
		He had fallen on his rollerblades.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And she backed out over his head.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, no.
		That one's really hard.
		Yours is harder to believe than his.
unidentified		Well, this actually...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You don't even want to think about it.
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, I understand your thinking.
		Sure.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Jim's story, truth or trash?
unidentified		I believe that's trash, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You do, all right.
		You're down.
		Where are you calling from?
unidentified		I'm calling from North Carolina.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Thank you for the call and being on the jury.
		First time caller line, you are on the air.
		Jim's story of reducing his three-year-old to the ground.
unidentified		Trash.
unidentified		Big time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Big time, huh?
unidentified		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		He has been trashed.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Jim, you have been trashed.
unidentified		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 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 my father.
		Oh, yes, we really, really did do that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And how, when you pulled her out of the mud, I mean, how was she?
unidentified		Never said a word.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Too afraid.
		I don't believe you at all, Jim.
		Thank you very much for absolutely stumping the panel.
		Big time.
		That was some start.
		Oh, my God.
		Can you imagine looking down, seeing the imprint of your little three-year-old sister?
unidentified		oh my...
		Now we take you back to the night of June 1st, 2001, on Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
		The End Here we go.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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, Praydale?
unidentified		Should I save that for last?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where?
unidentified		Should I save that for last?
		It kind of has a repercussion to the story.
		I see.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Yes, you may.
		What is your name?
unidentified		Okay, my name is Keith.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Keith.
unidentified		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 I did pretty good until the $8,000 question.
		I used two lifelines, the audience, and it was split $35, $35.
		I found a friend and 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 $50,050.
		The last three went in order C, D, C. So using that, I just picked A, just point blank, and it was correct.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You guessed?
unidentified		Yes.
		It just went C, D, C, and I just looked at it and went A. So now you're at $125,000.
		Note the $250,000 question I had right on the notes, do Android Stream 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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You walked away with $250,000?
unidentified		Yes.
		Here's the catch.
		I didn't receive a penny of it because I lied on my application and gave them a friend's address.
		Oh, no!
		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, no.
unidentified		And I'm Canadian.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you're Canadian.
unidentified		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And so on that basis, because you didn't tell the truth, they kept your money?
unidentified		Yeah, technically, I wasn't allowed on the show.
		I just gave them, like I said, a friend's address as on vacation.
		The entire segment went unaired.
		They made a lot of checks.
		They took photos of me.
		They looked in the past and present, and they got back to the address and found nothing matched at all.
		I won nothing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my God.
		All right.
		Hold it right there, Keith.
		We're going to put this one to the jury, all right?
		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?
unidentified		Well, I mean, he probably should give his money because he's Canadian anyway.
unidentified		So I believe it's true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You think it's true?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, one for truth.
		Thank you very much.
		Hello, Canadian, I guess.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		What do you think of Keith's story?
		No, you're not.
		First time caller line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
		Yes, you're on the air.
		What is your name?
unidentified		My name is Jennifer.
unidentified		I say trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You say trash?
		I say trash.
		If I were to guess that you're taking a bath, would that be truth or trash?
unidentified		That would be truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Can you hear the water?
unidentified		Actually, it's hot tub.
unidentified		It's great to have you back on the air, all right?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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?
unidentified		Tony from Cleveland, Ohio.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi, Tony.
unidentified		Total trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you think trash?
unidentified		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Pretty bold trash if it's trash.
unidentified		It's trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Are you a regular viewer of that show?
unidentified		I've watched it, but it's trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		Yeah, you know, well, I'll save my comments.
		Welcome to the Rockies.
		You're on the air.
		Keith's quarter millionaire story.
		What do you think?
unidentified		Truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You think it's true?
unidentified		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, what is your first name?
unidentified		Rich Bokan.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, Rich.
		Thank you.
		You've tied it up.
		Now, this will be the deciding vote.
		First time caller line, you're on the jury.
		You're the deciding vote.
		Keith's quarter million dollar story.
unidentified		Wow, that's a lot of pressure, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, I know.
unidentified		I forgot to say hello to Bowie Nair and Pyro Johnny.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, thank you for doing that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, truth or trash?
unidentified		Let's myself, I would have to say truth because he's crazy enough to get on without or with knowing that he wouldn't get it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Let's find out.
		I'm dying of curiosity myself.
		All right.
		All right, Keith.
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		Oh, well, my friend, the girl having a bath sounded more believable than me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, she had sound effects, you know.
unidentified		Yeah, no, completely trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Completely trash, huh?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you fooled them.
unidentified		Thanks a lot.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And it was done on patriotism, I think, because a couple of the votes came from Canadians.
		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, we'll go to Open Lines.
		East of the Rockies, hello there.
		Do you have a story?
unidentified		Yes, I do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you're on a cell phone, aren't you?
unidentified		Yes, I am, but I got a good signal.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, fair signal.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Turn your radio off.
unidentified		It is off.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, where are you?
unidentified		I am calling from Richmond, Virginia, W-R-V-A.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Richmond, Virginia.
		And your first name is Vic.
		Vic.
		Okay, Vic, what's your story?
unidentified		When I was a little kid, I used to do different things to make extra money.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And I would do like dares and things.
		And one of the big things I would do would swallow different things.
		And usually it was just money, and it would be at school.
		I would swallow like quarters and dimes or nickels.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		May I ask a question?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I've always wanted to ask this.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		When you swallow like quarters and pennies and dimes, whatever, are you able to eventually recover it?
unidentified		Yeah.
		That's why I did it.
		I would make extra money.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Was there any...
unidentified		I was a little kid.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, even as a kid, there were limits for me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What was the largest denomination you dared swallow?
unidentified		A silver dollar.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You swallowed a silver dollar?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Good God!
unidentified		Oh wow!
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Anyway, Vic, I mean, I can't.
unidentified		The rest of my story is.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I can submit it to a jury right now, Vic.
unidentified		No, I'm not done yet quite.
unidentified		Anyway, my brother dared me one time to swallow my mom's diamond ring.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Dared you?
unidentified		Yeah, it was a carrot diamond ring.
unidentified		And I did it thinking that, hey, I'm going to get it like everything else.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		If you can do a dollar, you can do a diamond ring.
unidentified		Right.
unidentified		Well, the diamond ring didn't come out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It didn't.
unidentified		And finally, he told my dad about it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		One carrot?
unidentified		One carrot.
		It never came out.
		And my parents kept checking every time I went to the bathroom to get their ring back.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sure they did.
		Oh, my God.
		What a nightmare.
unidentified		It never came out.
		Well, about six years ago.
		Yeah, 10 years.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		There's more?
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Out she popped, right?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I knew it.
unidentified		Oh, along with a big old chicken nugget.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, this is indeed a diamond of a story.
unidentified		So hold it right there.
unidentified		A whole dollar.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, here we go.
		West of the Rockies, Vic's story of the one carrot that refused to...
		What do you think?
unidentified		It's Daniel and Albuquerque, KKLB country here.
unidentified		I say that is absolute trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash.
unidentified		That's right, trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Everything is trash.
unidentified		Thank you, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're very welcome, sir.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		What do you think?
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		What do I think?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		I think that could be true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Possibly true.
unidentified		Possibly true, but I got a great cat story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, unfortunately, you were just on a jury, so you'll have to get back through.
		First time caller line, you're on the air on the jury.
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		I think the first part is true, but I think the last part is trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, see, I can't register it that way.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's got to be one or the other.
unidentified		I'll go with trash then.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're going for trash.
		Okay, one more trash, and he's out of here.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hi, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		First of all, I want to say thank goodness you're back on the air.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
unidentified		I missed you so much.
unidentified		And can I say something really quick?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Hi to everyone in the North SAS Tin Man.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi, now, now.
unidentified		That story was trash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trash, huh?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, it's three and one.
		You've trashed him.
		Vic, they have trashed you.
		By a vote of three to one, you've been trashed.
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So the ring part was not true?
unidentified		The reading part was not true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But you could really, honest to God, you could pass something as large as a...
unidentified		I did that when I was 10 years old.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's astounding, Nick.
unidentified		That was the only silver dollar that I passed.
unidentified		Mainly quarters, though.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Mainly quarters.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, how much total cash in your early career do you think you passed?
unidentified		I don't know, maybe a couple of bucks.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A couple of dollars?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Small.
unidentified		I ate a lot of nickels, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, Vic, you're disgusting.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
unidentified		All right, buddy.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Have a good one.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Take care.
unidentified		That's pathetic.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I was hoping the part about the parents wasn't true.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hey, I got a story for you, Arthur.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A good one?
unidentified		Yeah, it's a good one.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, turn your radio off.
unidentified		All right.
unidentified		It's off.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where are you?
unidentified		I'm in Las Vegas.
unidentified		My name is Uther.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Uther?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Or Luther?
unidentified		Uther.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Uther.
unidentified		Yeah, like Arthur's father.
unidentified		U-T-H-E-R?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I've got it, Uther.
unidentified		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Unusual name.
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		Weird parents.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How did you do with school in school with that?
unidentified		Kids are mean.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, they are.
		They're cruel.
		All right.
		Well, anyway, you got a story?
unidentified		Yes.
		Okay.
		Okay.
		In 1994, the Arizona Highway Patrol were mystified when they came across a pile of smoldering records embedded in the side of a cliff rising out above the road.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		This is not going to work because I already know it's all over the internet.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's an urban legend that happens to be true.
unidentified		Actually, it's not true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I heard it was true.
unidentified		The Arizona Department of Public Safety includes a page about this list.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And they claim it's not true, that the guy attached the rockets to this car.
unidentified		The JADO unit was attached to a car.
unidentified		It's a myth, and it's not true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It was in the Darwin Awards.
unidentified		Yes, I heard it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And the Darwin Awards never lie.
unidentified		Yeah, well, this particular one, that's why I wanted to use it so much, because everyone thinks it's true, but it's not.
unidentified		Arizona Department of Public Safety even has a web page.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sorry I spoiled it for you, but we've spread the information that it is.
unidentified		It is in fact a fallacy.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sad about that.
unidentified		And I will email you the webpage.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I am sad about that.
unidentified		It's such a great story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Are you sure it didn't happen somewhere else in Arizona denied it, but maybe it happened somewhere else?
unidentified		There's a whole web page about it.
		It's a serviceman story that's been told for years and years, and it's never actually been true.
		The car has been a different car over the years.
		The earliest it's ever been heard of was in 61, 62, and it was with two JATO units, but it's actually a bunk story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I am.
unidentified		And everyone has bought on it, and it's such a great story, though.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm so sorry it's not true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really, I am.
unidentified		Yeah, I'll send you the link.
unidentified		You know, Arizona's website.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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.
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you're right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		They would have said, they would have said true, and you would have got them.
unidentified		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sorry, Uther.
unidentified		It's okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sorry.
unidentified		Them's the brakes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'll swallow a nickel for you.
unidentified		Oh.
		Don't do that.
		Don't do it.
		Just say hi to your cat.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, I'll do that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeti.
unidentified		Yeah, Yeti.
unidentified		I just adopted a seven-toed cap.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Boy, have I got a cat story coming up here?
unidentified		Oh, great.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, Uther.
		Thank you very much.
		Good night.
		We'll be back.
unidentified		You're listening to Arc Bell Somewhere in Time on Premier Radio Networks.
		Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from June 1st, 2001.
		You know it don't come easy.
		But the faith you do.
		You wanna be, and you know, don't be baby.
		I'll see you next time.
		You're listening to Luck Bell somewhere in time.
		Tonight, featuring a replay of Coast to Coast AM from June 1st, 2001.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, the guy with the Chalupa story got me.
		The Chalupa story apparently is absolutely true.
		All kinds of people truther trashed me and said, actually trashed me and said, Art, you blew it.
		It is true.
		It seems impossible, but 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.
unidentified		Stay right there.
		You're listening to Arc Bell Somewhere in Time on Premier Radio Networks.
		Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from June 1st, 2001.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Into the night and the land of the unknown, clashing telephone lines.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Hi.
unidentified		Hi.
unidentified		Hello, Steve in Phoenix.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, hi, Steve.
unidentified		The X43A breaks the sound barrier, excuse me, Mach 7 today.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Mach 7.
unidentified		Mach 7.
		Can you believe it?
		We're up that high already.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, you're going to blackouts this summer, you know.
unidentified		Yeah, like I said earlier, 160 hours are scheduled.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, God, it figures.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, I had to, as judge, trash that because it seemed absolutely impossible.
unidentified		And the gentleman with the broken neck that landed the plane, I'd heard that story also.
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's the theory, but they really don't know.
unidentified		They really don't know, yeah.
unidentified		But that's the demand broke his neck out of the bank.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Otherwise, a dead man landed the plane.
unidentified		Right.
unidentified		And I have a story about my adventures in Alaska, if you'd like to hear it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Is it good?
unidentified		I think so.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Go.
unidentified		It's my story, though, of course.
unidentified		Okay, it was 1996.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		The fall, my son and I are on the Nushgak River in Dillingham, Alaska.
		Okay?
		Right on the mouth of the Bering Sea where it meets the Nushgak River.
		My son's 11 years old.
		He's sitting on the beach and he's pulling in the gill net, a few feet at the 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 on my right shoulder, out of the corner of my eye, see this dark object coming at me.
		I figure a motorboat's going to beach itself real hard right where I'm sitting.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You can't see me.
unidentified		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 or a whale.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Orca!
unidentified		Beach itself on the beach, thinking I was a seal trying to take my leg off.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh my word.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And this thing beached itself and died?
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Holy smokes.
unidentified		That is almost four foot at the bowl.
		It was a full-grown orca.
		And he came up on the beach thinking I was a seal.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How can you go back in the water after that?
unidentified		They do that.
unidentified		They come up on the water, and the rush of water that they bring with them helps wash them back out into the water.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, I didn't ask that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I said, how could you go back to the water?
unidentified		Well, how can I go back on the water?
unidentified		Well, being in Alaska, you live off the land and you have to subsist in fish.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You do what you have to do, huh?
unidentified		You do what you have to do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So that's a dead true story, then.
unidentified		It's a dead true story.
unidentified		And shortly after that, my wife made us move out to Arizona because she was tired of the grizzly bears and the whales and the hazards of Alaska.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		At least you didn't send your wife out in a bear suit.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That was a terrible story.
unidentified		I didn't have that idea when I was thank you for the call.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		Yes, good evening, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Good evening.
unidentified		This is Ruth from Duluth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Ruth from Duluth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How are you doing, Ruth?
unidentified		I'm doing just fine.
unidentified		Minnesota, you know, there's a Duluth, Georgia.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Is there?
unidentified		Yes, there is.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But it'd be much more likely you're from Minnesota.
unidentified		I am likely to be from Minnesota.
		Yes, I am.
		Right.
		I have a story, trasher, or I say trasher treasure.
		Truth or trash.
		Right.
		Just a quick one.
		We had a goat that mooed.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You had a goat?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That mooed.
unidentified		Instead of doing whatever they do, bah, you know, it mooed.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It mooed like a cow.
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All its life.
unidentified		All its life?
		Well, I don't know about all its life.
		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 or salmon.
		And this brown goat was not being accepted by these other goats and she was very forlorn.
		And we went out in the pasture and didn't see any cows.
		And we're looking around and all of a sudden this little brown goat came up to us and moved.
		We called the people.
		Well, we're not guessing anymore, are we?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, I this is true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I was going to say, I don't know why I believe this, but I think I believe it.
unidentified		And 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 going to think we're absolutely crazy.
		Yeah.
		And we said, your goat that you gave us moves.
		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And so it learned to move.
unidentified		It learned to move.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's an incredible story.
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Very good point.
unidentified		Yes, it's wonderful.
unidentified		Can I share quickly a dream, real quick?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Real quick.
unidentified		It's 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.
		I mean, I just, it's just incredible.
		And she, 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'll be room for her, but room for me.
		And she said, she'll never take my place, and I'll never take hers.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's great.
unidentified		I thought I would just share that with you guys.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
unidentified		Thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Good night.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's something.
unidentified		But a goat that moos.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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.
		Wow.
		West of the Rockies are on the air.
		Hi.
		Hi, Ark.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hi.
unidentified		I just finished your book, The Quickening, a couple weeks ago.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
unidentified		I'd like to say thank you for that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're very welcome.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It was a fairly predictive book if you look around us today.
unidentified		I'm telling you.
unidentified		For having been published four years ago, amazingly accurate.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Thank you.
		You're welcome.
		My name is Robert.
		I'm from Reno.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
unidentified		And I want to tell you my story.
		Okay.
		A couple of years ago, there was a fire burning along the coast of Oregon.
		And 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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And they scooped up our friend and dropped him from God knows how high above the forest floor.
unidentified		Exactly.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		My God.
unidentified		And that's what I call you think you're having a bad day?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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?
unidentified		Well, I've seen those helicopters do their thing.
unidentified		Well, I'd say it's true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		True.
		Got you?
		All right, that's one for true.
		And Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
		What do you say about the fellow dumped apparently out of a helicopter onto the forest floor?
unidentified		Can I ask where this took place?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Can you ask where it took place?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Normally you can't do that, but call her, where did it take place?
unidentified		It was off the coast of Oregon.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It was off the northwest 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.
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, all right.
		Oh, no.
		Are you still there?
unidentified		Still here.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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?
unidentified		Total trash internet folklore.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		And wildcard line, you're on the air.
		What do you think?
		Truth or trash?
unidentified		I say it's true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You say it's true.
		All right.
		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.
unidentified		That's completely yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's trash is what we call it, sir.
		Thank you very much.
		All right.
		The second caller was absolutely right.
		That is internet folklore.
		It is utter trash, isn't it?
unidentified		Well, I heard it on Paul Harvey.
		And like a caller early in the evening that said, come on.
		I've never heard garbage come from Paul Harvey.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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.
unidentified		I can't prove it.
unidentified		I just heard it on Paul Harvey, and I take his word for it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So because Paul said it, you're saying it's true?
unidentified		No, I'm just saying that's where I heard it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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 wanted to see how people would vote.
		Now it was 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.
unidentified		Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		I have a story for you.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're on the air, so where are you calling from?
unidentified		I'm calling from Lamont, California for my aquaphone.
unidentified		I am a truck driver just picking up produce.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It sounds like an aquaphone.
unidentified		It probably comes in soft blue.
		Maybe that's what the diver was using, an aquaphone, right?
		I'd say this happened to me 10 years ago.
		Okay.
		I worked at a golf course in Merino.
		Yes.
		I was mowing the back nine one morning, three, four in the morning.
		As I get to the 15th green, the sun is just coming up.
		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And the 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.
		Almost through the entire green, I see a gurney wheeled out with three or four guys pushing a gurney.
		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		These guys kind of disregarded the gurney, turned around, got distracted or something by someone else that had come out onto the dock.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We've got to hurry along here.
unidentified		The next thing you know, the gurney rolls down an incline.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, no.
unidentified		There's like a wheelchair ramp.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		Right out into the middle of Plumas Boulevard.
		Plumas.
		Right up main thoroughfare, it's arena.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		With a guy on it?
unidentified		Right in the middle of traffic.
		And as I'm sitting there watching the surreal event happen, going back and forth mowing the green, there goes the gurney out in the middle of the traffic.
		And it stopped right in the turn lane.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And nothing hit it?
unidentified		Nothing hit it.
unidentified		And these guys turned around and run after it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sure.
unidentified		And you know what it was, right?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No.
unidentified		One of the residents had passed away.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And so it was a dead body.
unidentified		And that was how they take people out through the back door when people pass away.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So it was a dead body.
unidentified		It was a dead body.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, in a way, that's comforting.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, you wouldn't want to think of some poor sick person on the way to their hospital just taking off.
unidentified		Well, he has better things to do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, apparently so.
unidentified		There are better things to do.
unidentified		I've got a couple observations real quick.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I'll take one observation.
unidentified		Okay.
		The chemtrails, being the truck driver, I'm always observing our elucid horizons.
		Yes.
		And I have absolutely noticed an increase in Eastern Washington, eastern Oregon, and northern California.
		Just absolutely full of chemtrails.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That is echoed by a million emails I'm getting, sir.
unidentified		Is that right?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, 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 chemtrailed every day.
		I'm getting a lot of that.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Hi.
unidentified		Oh, hi.
		Hi, hello.
		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 putting you down.
		Real quick.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, okay.
unidentified		You don't know.
		I have this set up like a harem room.
		So I fell over some pillows I have on the side.
		Okay, let me calm down.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You have your room set up like a harem room.
unidentified		Yeah, sort of, you know, with some drapes coming off the light and lots of things.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why do you set your room?
unidentified		Because I'd like to pretend I'm a harem girl.
		It's a long story.
		That's for another call.
		Okay.
		Well, I have a question for you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, harem girl.
unidentified		Now you wrote the book about the quickety, yes?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Now you also wrote another one with another co-author, right?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		What's that one called?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's called The Coming Global Superstorm.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's going to be a movie.
unidentified		Oh, really?
unidentified		Cool.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Okay, and then this guy with the story about him being mistaken for a seal by an orca.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		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.
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I would never go near the water again if an orca whale suddenly showed up.
unidentified		Well, no, because you see, they don't, it's close enough to what they, the outline that they look for for food.
unidentified		Because in the case of the ocean, if you're on one of those, especially towards early morning hours or late evening, you're silhouette, and then think about it, people wear like fins in order to have better control in the water.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, I'd really rather know why you play Harem Girl.
unidentified		Well, hey, don't you and Moda sometimes play shoot-em-up cowboy or, you know, whatever?
		Yeah.
		Okay, then.
		But no, that stuff is.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How old are you?
unidentified		The truth.
		Okay, my parents don't like that I do this, okay?
		But anyway, I really called to tell you the story about my cat.
		Well, no, you didn't tell me how old you were.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Come on, that's not your name.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You can tell me how old you are.
unidentified		Well, I'm going to be 18.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're going to be 18?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well.
unidentified		On June 20th.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Listen, I got to go, but I'll call you some other time with the story about my cat.
		Absolutely allowed to play Harem Girl at that age.
unidentified		Have a good time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Harem Girl.
unidentified		You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
		Tonight featuring a replay of Coast to Coast AM from June 1st, 2001.
		on.
		Her hands are never cold.

		Can she keep it till I...
		Midnight at the oasis.
		Send your camels to bed.
		Shadows painting our faces.
		Traces.
		A romance in our hands.
		Heaven's holding our hands.

		Let's slip off to a sand.
		Ooh.
		Real soon.
		Kick up the little dust.
		Come on.
		Cactus is our friend.
		You pointed out the way.

		Till the evening ends.
		You don't have to answer.
		no need to sleep I'll be your belly And you can be my sheep You're listening to Artwell Somewhere in time on Premiere Radio Networks tonight,
		an oncore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from June 1st, 2001.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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.
		We'll talk a little bit about what we're going to do next week.
		Dr. Thomas Beck and Janet Culley.
		Dr. Janet Cullay.
		On Monday night, Tuesday morning, transpersonal psychotherapists who deal with close encounters and inner species 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 U.S. 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. Strassman 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.
unidentified		Now we take you back to the night of June 1st, 2001, on Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Hey, how you doing, Art?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm all right, sir.
unidentified		You got Blade Runner calling you from Tacoma, Washington.
unidentified		Haven't talked to you in years.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, I know your parents did not name you Blade Runner, or if they did.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		No, if I tell you my name, you'll only bleed me out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, only imagine you're allowed to give your first name.
unidentified		Oh, they call me Matt then.
unidentified		I'm not on the radio.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're not Blade.
unidentified		No.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No.
unidentified		Hey, I remember Bugs.
unidentified		I used to call you a lot when Bugs was on the air.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you remember that?
unidentified		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 uh...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		telling you some things about Oh, I totally believe the dude.
		Yeah, I do too.
		Moreover, now I've got a map.
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Other than that, we will ask him about that.
unidentified		Yeah, he's got to get his ballistics out because he was quoting bullet sizes that didn't exist in that caliber and all sorts of different.
unidentified		That was the only type of information in his story that was inconsistent with what's real.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, we'll ask specifically about that.
unidentified		I'm definitely going to call you when Bugs is on the air.
unidentified		If he's going to accept calls, I'd like to talk to you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I probably will, but we'll have a real Bigfoot researcher here, and I want him to hear it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That should be really something.
unidentified		Yes, you can get a hold of Bugs.
		And he didn't field any questions from the audience because he was freaked out last time.
		But if he's willing to do it this time, he's sent you a map.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you understand why he freaked out.
unidentified		Well, yeah, because that was about when they passed the law that killing Bigfoot was murder.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's right.
unidentified		Right.
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's right.
unidentified		Well, he didn't murder anybody.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't believe that either.
unidentified		No, not if he shot Bigfoot.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, again, I've got a map.
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		Well, he was poaching deer, so he thought it was a deer anyway.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I know.
unidentified		And I don't know if you remember this.
		This is a truth or trash story.
		You could 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 taking out a marijuana patch, and the guy that shot him was hunting at night, and he saw the glass in his headlights.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, boy.
unidentified		He shot 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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, boy.
unidentified		But, you know, that guy didn't get anything but discharging a firearm from a county road with the ticket they wrote and they didn't write him for malicious anything or negligence of anything.
		Because he could have killed a man, but 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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, sir.
		Thank you very much.
		Take care.
		Yeah, 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.
unidentified		Hey, Ari, how are you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm okay.
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How old are you now?
unidentified		I'm 18.
unidentified		I've seen it since I was about six.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And it's six feet tall.
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		It's even six feet.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Most shadow people have been said to, you know, are said to be small.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yours is a really big one.
unidentified		Yes, it is very, very big.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Like a shadow basketball player.
unidentified		Oh, yeah, it's a shadow Shaquille O'Neal.
unidentified		Shadow Shaquille O'Neal.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, so anyway, what has your shadow person done?
unidentified		Well, mostly just comes around at, you know, usually the witching hour, so to speak.
		But, you know, it just kind of walks around the room and looks at me most of the time.
		Uh-huh.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Never approaching you?
unidentified		No.
unidentified		It will stand at the edge of my bed and watch me, but that's been the extent of it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		While he's watching you, well, there's no way to know a he or she, I suppose.
		Yeah.
		While it's watching you, what do you do?
unidentified		Well, since I was a kid, I've probably pulled my head under the blankets.
unidentified		It's very freaky.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You still do that now?
unidentified		No, I kind of look at it every now and then, but it tried to roll over and not look.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And this has just been a regular thing for you?
unidentified		Oh, yeah.
unidentified		Very, very regular.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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, huh?
unidentified		Actually, as a matter of fact, I wanted to say hi to everybody in your chat room.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're in the chat room, huh?
unidentified		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		Bye.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Bye.
		Take care.
		I wonder if she plays Harem Girl.
		A six-foot-high shadow guy that just 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.
unidentified		Hey, what's up, Hart?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You.
unidentified		Hey, it's a doggy dog world out there, ain't it?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's a doggy dog world, yes.
unidentified		Do I believe it or not?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you believe what?
unidentified		I don't know if I should believe what this last person said or not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What did the last person say?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Which one is that?
unidentified		Well, it was a pretty incredible story, I thought.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What story?
unidentified		The gal about something about her dog and her cat and found some underwear.
unidentified		My God, it's been a hell of a while.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, long time ago.
unidentified		Oh, okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you believe it?
unidentified		I don't know, drawers?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, drawers.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you believe it?
unidentified		It's kind of a bad way to wrap things up, but reality's a cold slap in the face sometimes, I guess.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, it is.
		It's a cold slap, all right.
		The answer is it was true.
		A little slow in the uptake there.
		That was about an hour ago.
		First time call online, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Going once.
		Going twice.
		Gone.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Oh, hey there, all right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		Got time for one last truth of trash?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Maybe, if it's a good one.
unidentified		I think it's a good one.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		All right.
		Back when I was 15, I worked there in Florida, and I was a supermarket bag boy.
		And, you know, it was a simple job.
		Folks come down, they give you groceries, you bag them up.
		Right.
		So this old gentleman, he came up to me.
		He asked me to bag with these canvas bags of his.
		This one too rare, I request.
		Sometimes people like those.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
unidentified		So I get the bags, and I start smelling this thing.
		It smells real bad.
		I'm thinking to myself, what is this guy going to be keeping in his bags?
		And 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 over to the side in between that little aisle between the checkstands they got in the supermarkets there.
		And as it had turned out, the gentleman had lost control, lost containment of his bowels and had on the floor there.
		Yeah.
		And that's how it went.
		Do you want to put that to the jury?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, not at all.
unidentified		Oh, one last thing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know what?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't even want to know whether that was true.
unidentified		Okay, well, I'll leave you ignorant in that case.
		One last thing I wanted to mention to you.
		I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but Slashdot, if you heard of them, they ran a story about your friend Robert Bigelow.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh?
unidentified		Wow.
		So they got...
		They're an internet website.
		Can I give the address?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No.
unidentified		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, no.
unidentified		Well, I'll give you an email about it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Send me an email.
		Yes, I'm sure many things are said about Robert Bigelow.
		You cannot be that high-profile without having, believe me, I know, 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.
		Welcome to the Rockies.
		You're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Good evening, Art Bell.
		Good evening.
		This is John calling from Lincoln City, Oregon, right on the 45-degree line.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
unidentified		Okay, this is called my nuclear nightmare.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Nuclear.
unidentified		Yes.
unidentified		I had a trucking company back east out of Maryland, okay?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And we had a delivery to do to Peach Bottom nuclear power plant in Delta, Pennsylvania.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you guys ask about your loads when your destination is something like that?
unidentified		Well, I was given a map by the salesman to follow, right, this road, right?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		We had 10 copiers on the truck.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		10 what?
unidentified		Copying machines.
unidentified		I delivered copying machines for a particular name.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Nah, that's right, Don.
unidentified		Okay.
		So anyway, I follow this map and it takes me down Adam Road.
		And I had an 18-foot box truck, a GMC V64000.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		Okay.
		And I'm driving down this road, Adam Road.
		We get there, you know, and man, that's pretty washed out, and I can't believe this.
		And 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 2x4s 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 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 copiers.
		She goes, where's your guard?
		Where's your badge?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Your guard and your badge?
unidentified		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 to look underneath my truck.
		You're kidding.
		Oh, no, I'm not kidding at all.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So what have you wandered into?
unidentified		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.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And so, oh, gee, you surprised them, didn't you?
unidentified		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, you were in a lot of trouble.
		Really?
		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And so 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.
unidentified		Right, that's absolutely right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, I don't know how to correct it.
unidentified		I did call the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and two years later, they woke up a guy in one of the online reactors' control rooms by tapping him on the shoulder to wake him up.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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.
unidentified		Well, I'm telling you the truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I hear that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, here you are on, I mean, you did sign that, right?
unidentified		Yeah, I did.
unidentified		Okay, well, you're on about five or under duress.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Under duress?
unidentified		Under my name, yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, at least you can laugh about it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thanks for the call, sir.
unidentified		You're quite welcome.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Take care.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		How are you doing, Art?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm doing all right.
		We don't have a lot of time here.
		Time is.
unidentified		I'm listening on the Big 89 in Chicago.
		Yes, sir.
		I wanted to tell you, well, it was kind of a truth or trash thing, but it's quick.
		I want to say 47% of the U.S. base closings in America.
		Yes.
		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.
		Interesting.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And I have, actually, eyewitnesses.
unidentified		I got a buddy that went around to Montana and South Dakota and saw about six of them.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you think these are...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Concentration camps, right?
unidentified		You know, I heard another theory that they were going to clean out the population between the Pacific Ocean and, I think, the Mississippi River.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That'd be quite a few of us.
unidentified		There's a lot of us out there.
unidentified		And, you know, it goes along with the U.N. owning the Grand National Parks and all that stuff.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, so you're an actual eyewitness, huh?
unidentified		I'm not the eyewitness, but I'm secondhand to the eyewitness.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh.
unidentified		And I trust this man inheckably.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I know, but it's always someone else told me.
unidentified		I know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I wish I had a real eyewitness.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Re-education, camps.
unidentified		I'm glad you're back.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Say goodnight to the world.
unidentified		Good night.
unidentified		Good night, Earth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		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.
