unidentified		High desert and the great American Southwest.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I bid you good evening, good morning, good afternoon, whatever the case may be, wherever you are in this great world of ours, all the time zones, covered like a great, big, warm blanket on midnight in the desert.
		That's the name of this program.
		I'm Mark Bell.
		It is my pleasure to be here with you tonight, which is going to be a very weird and wild night in so many ways.
unidentified		And we're going to have open lines tonight.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So I've got three rules instead of my usual two.
unidentified		Rule one, no bad language.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Rule two, only one call per show.
		And rule three for tonight, only two drinks, two drink max if you're going to call in.
		All right?
		We'll get to the open lines part of it here in a few minutes.
		There were some strange occurrences of the day.
		And this tops the list for me.
		True or false?
		I'm going to read you the story.
		It's all over the internet.
		Dateline.
		I just have a little news thing.
		Dateline, Florida, Orlando.
		Joined by his, I'm not saying this is true because I don't know.
		Joined by his father, George H.W. Bush and his brother, George W. Bush, during Jeb Bush's latest fundraiser in Orlando this week.
		George Bush Sr. left the large crowd of Jeb Bush partisans uneasy after responding to a question on UFOs by an activist slash journalist, which the answer took the crowd and the reporters completely by surprise in hopes of helping his son Jeb's struggling presidential campaign,
		George Bush Sr. and former President George W. Bush have been campaigning beside the presidential candidate in hopes of bringing the numbers up, right?
		During the fundraiser, a man in the crowd raised his hand and then a question, which led to an even more surprising response by the former president and CIA director.
		The man asked George Bush Sr. when the U.S. government would tell the American people the truth about UFOs, to which he reportedly responded, quote, Americans can't handle the truth.
		Okay, so it's not the first time that the senior has had a controversial moment about UFOs.
		Another occurred March 7, 1988, during a trip to George W. running for President Rally in Rogers, Arkansas.
		To be president was then asked in the advent that he would become president if he would tell Americans the truth about the existence of UFOs, to which Bush said, I'm very careful in public life about dealing with classified information.
		James Adler, journalist for the Arkansas Globe at the time, also asked about Bush's knowledge about the UFO phenomenon, on behalf of which Bush answered, I know some.
		Now, there's a tag to this story.
		After all, he is 91 years old.
		It is possible that he is suffering some cognitive dysfunction.
		So you have to imagine that possibility.
		You also have to imagine that he meant exactly what he said, if he really said it.
		Okay?
unidentified		He might have meant exactly what he said.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It may be that his cognitive function is fine, and he just felt like, you know, hey, I'm 91.
		Hell with this, I'm going to say it.
		Or the whole thing might be a hoax.
		It's all over the internet.
		We looked and looked for anything that hit mainstream media.
		But, you know, that doesn't always mean a story is not true.
		I give you, ladies and gentlemen, the Phoenix lights.
		Remember?
		These monstrous things moved over the Phoenix, Arizona area.
		And what did we get in the mainstream press?
		Nothing.
		Nothing.
		So, you know, I don't rule it out.
		I don't rule it in.
		I just would note that a lot of times things hit us earlier than they hit the mainstream press.
		Or maybe the mainstream press, you know, in an effort to be polite, decided not to include it.
		At this moment, this juncture, I don't know what's true.
		So I thought I would present it to you and let you decide for yourself.
		In other news, as they say, two more campus shootings, this time Arizona and Texas.
		Meanwhile, the president went to Oregon, where he wasn't really so welcome, frankly.
		A lot of protesters not happy about his gun control agenda, and so not happy to see the Prez because of that.
		We are two countries, the East and the West.
		In the West, we have guns.
		It's just, you know, part of life.
		We have guns.
		In the East, they don't have guns, mostly.
		Not altogether.
		I mean, there is the South part of the East where they mainly do, I guess.
		But, you know, the Northeast liberal corridor does not have guns.
		Chicago doesn't have guns.
		Look how that's working out.
		Anyway, I will say what I've said again and again and again.
		We don't have a gun problem, we have a mental illness problem.
		Now, in other news, the Obama administration is overhauling its approach to fighting the Islamic State in Syria.
		They have now decided to abandon a somewhat failed Pentagon effort, I don't mean to laugh, to build a new ground force of moderate rebels and instead partnering with an established rebel group.
		Now, we have spent millions and millions of dollars to train somewhere between four and eight moderate rebels to fight ISIS.
		And they're really interested in fighting Assad, right?
		So I guess today, after spending millions and millions of uncountable dollars, we had to send four guys home.
		I don't know what we're going to do now.
		So you guys go home.
		We're done with you.
		The Geo Party is, GOP party is a party in chaos, desperately searching now for a leader.
unidentified		Desperately.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		John Boehner is gone, right?
		And I guess you know what the last couple of days have brought with people turning it down right and left, latest being Paul Ryan.
		He said, no, thank you.
		The pressure on him, enormous to take the job.
		They said, ah, no, thanks.
		Meanwhile, Trump's numbers keep going up.
		You know, I'm starting to wonder if we're going to have Trump, you know, if this guy is for real.
		A federal judge in Massachusetts has refused to dismiss a defamation lawsuit brought against comedian Bill Cosby by three women who say that he sexually abused them decades ago.
		So it's getting worse for Bill Cosby if that's possible every day.
		All right, so now on to some housekeeping things.
		I would like to welcome aboard KKFT Reno Lake Tahoe.
		That's right, KKFT, Reno Lake Tahoe.
		And we have a lot of affiliates coming up in the hopper, but I won't tell you until they're signed, sealed, delivered, and on the air.
		A little bit later tonight, if I'm in a good mood, and I think I am, we may do some Periscope.
		Now, here is the deal with that.
		To do Periscope, which means you can actually see video from me, I can't imagine it being interesting watching the back of a talk host's head, but it's the only camera position I've got that's any good.
		In order to partake of Periscope, you've pretty much got to be on Twitter.
		And I'll give you my Twitter handle, so if you want to join now, you'll be notified if you're on Twitter that I am up on Periscope.
		It is Art Bell51.
		That's A-R-T-B-E-L-L 5-1.
unidentified		That's me on Twitter.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		Let's see.
		I have a lot of housekeeping to do, so you'll have to excuse me.
		I want to thank the fans of my show for something pretty incredible, actually.
		We have an advertisement running in the industry standard magazine right now.
		That would be Talker's magazine.
		And the headline reads, this is not me boasting, it's just me telling you what it reads, fans of Art Bell invest in Talker's ad campaign for their radio hero.
		That's pretty cool.
		It's a long story.
		I've posted it, I think, on Facebook.
		It's up at artbell.com.
		And it shows me in a pair of sunglasses.
		Actually, that's pretty cool.
		Anyway, thank you.
		From the bottom of my heart, those of you who contributed to that campaign, either with your talent or your money, thank you.
		Jasmonda down in Australia.
		Thank you, buddy.
		Awesome stuff.
		Really awesome.
		And I'm humbled.
		Truly humbled.
		So, we're going to do open lines.
		What did I say about Rule 3?
		To drink minimum, right?
		So you're welcome to call.
		Oh, there is a rumor that JC, you remember JC, right?
		That he's live and kicking.
		I don't and cannot confirm that it is true.
		I can confirm that somebody matching his description is posting on Facebook, I have arisen, you know, that kind of thing.
		But until I actually hear his voice, he's dead to me.
		And by that, I mean, you know, after a while, I concluded poor JC out there in the wilderness passed away.
		Now, maybe not.
		Maybe he lives.
		Maybe he has arisen.
		But I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it until I actually hear that grating voice in my ear.
		But I thought I would note, everybody's been emailing me, he's alive, he's back, he's alive.
		All right, so open lines.
		Now, I would prefer paranormal, if you have paranormal.
		You can bring that to the table.
		But anything goes, anything at all.
		We are going to set up, however, a special line suggested by a listener.
		And when I saw this last night, I called Heather, my producer, and I said, this has got to be it.
		It's called our Scott-Free Line.
		Now, what a great name, a Scott-Free Line.
		What I want you to do, and I know That all of us at one time or another have gotten away with something scot-free, right?
		Whatever it is.
		Now, I will make every attempt, even though sometimes I can see a city you might be calling from, I'm going to make every attempt tonight not to say the name of the city, even if I see it.
		So, if there is something in your life that you would like to unburden yourself about tonight, this would be an obvious chance.
		So, if you couldn't think of something that you got away with scot-free, either now or when you were younger, the special number is Area Code, are you ready?
		575-208-7787.
		And by the way, by the way, that number, when you call that number, just so you know, a little humor here, that number rings through Roswell, New Mexico.
		And then comes to me.
		So the person who set up the numbers for me had an obvious sense of humor.
		Let me give that to you again.
		The Scott-Free number, if you want to unburden yourself about anything at all, the Scott-Free number is one and then area code 575-208-7787.
		And with that, we're going to break.
unidentified		And when we come back with a two-drink minimum, maximum, I'm sorry, maximum.
		With that in mind, please keep that in mind.
		Anything goes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let's just have fun tonight.
unidentified		You can die.
		You can die.
		Having the time of your life.
		You can die.
		Feel you.
		Wrap myself around you.
		I want to please you.
		Please you.
		I just can't get enough.
		And if you will throw, I'll let it go.
		I'm so tired.
		And I just can't hide it.
		I'm about to lose control.
		And I think I like it.
		Take a walk on the wild side of midnight from the Kingdom of Nive.
		This is Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell.
		Please call the show at 1-952-225-5278.
		That's 1-952-Call Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's the number, okay.
		And by the way, no video, no video.
		People keep trying to send me video or receive video.
		This is a radio program, and aside from an occasional venture with Periscope, we're not doing that.
		So no video, except for Periscope.
		I want to thank Alex, who sent me this just a few minutes ago on the wormhole.
		Alex, I love you, baby.
		It says, Art, I want to applaud you for being so vigilant about the audio of your show.
		You know, I listen to many different radio shows, and they rarely point out problems with their guests' audio.
		Anyway, it's very refreshing and very much appreciated.
		Well, thank you.
		Alex, my kind of guy.
		And so here comes my speech.
		Sorry.
		I know, even though it's requested by many and hated by droves, here it is.
		If you would like to call us on our national line, you know, it used to be toll-free.
		You had to have a toll-free line or people wouldn't call you, right?
		But now, most of us have calling plans that allow free calls anywhere in the U.S. or Canada, whatever.
		So if you want to call, it's one and then area code 952-225-5278.
		And while it's possible to sound pretty good on a landline and sometimes a cell phone, I don't know.
		But anyway, that's the number, area code 952-225-5278.
		If you want authorita, if you want to sound authoritative, the way you do it is with Skype.
		It will make you sound like you're right here in the studio with me.
		And you can actually do that on your phone.
		It'll work fine as long as you don't put it in speakerphone mode.
		That's horrible.
		But what you do, if you've got an iPhone or an Android, just get Skype.
		It's free.
		And then once you've got it, you don't go to the place where you dial a number.
		You go to the place where you add a contact.
		Now, once you become familiar with Skype, you'll see a little plus sign up there, and you click on that.
		And then you add us.
		Simple as that.
		You add us.
		To call us on Skype from North America, anywhere in America or Canada, it is MITD 51.
		That's midnight in the desert, M-I-T-D 51.
		Anywhere else in the world, you can still call us.
		It's MITD55.
		That's M-I-T-D 55.
		Now, once you've done that, You will notice that in your list of contacts, it says it probably says something like midnight in the desert overseas or North America or something like that.
		That's us.
		And you can call us for free from anywhere in the world.
		What a world we live in, huh?
		So, with that in mind, and a two-drink maximum in mind for calling, here we go.
		Don't forget about the Scott-free line.
		If you got away with something Scott-free, whatever it was, we want to hear about it.
		Area code 575-208-7787.
		And here we go.
		Here we go.
		Hi there on Skype.
		You're on the air.
		Hello on Skype.
		You're on the air.
		Corey, your name is Corey.
		And if you don't speak in three seconds, I'm moving on.
		One.
		Two, Corey.
		Three.
		Sorry, Corey.
		You lose.
		We're going to move on to Mike.
		You know, I hate that.
		I mean, you pick somebody, you keep them on hold, you wait, and then you try to go to them.
		And I think I could hear his voice mumbling in the background, and I couldn't go to him.
	So Mike instead is the one who gets on.
	Mike, hi.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		How are you doing, Art?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I am just fine, buddy.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Yes, Wolf Mann calling back again from Guelph, Ontario.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, well, you are a perfect example of how to sound good on Skype.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What are you using?
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Just an Android phone.
unidentified		I think it's a Motorola Moto G. Pretty good for an Android, I'd say.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, anyway, welcome.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Oh, anyways, I was going to mention I was trying to be a time traveler, and I was having trouble getting it with the PayPal to link up my card.
		I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
		But I heard another caller say the same thing, so I'm not sure if it's something.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, so some people have trouble with PayPal.
		I don't know what it is, but usually it can be fixed by using a different email address.
		So I would try that.
		And if that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you.
		There are instructions.
		If you go to artbell.com, there are instructions of what to do if you have a problem.
		You know, it's like one in a thousand.
		It does happen.
		I'm sorry.
		Being a time traveler is awesome.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I wanted to use the wormhole.
		But anyways, let me tell you a story that happened at my farm, another one.
		This time, this was out in the Port Burwell area.
		I told you before, I was a tobacco farmer.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's right.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Anyways, I was irrigating late one night.
		It was probably around 3 in the morning, and I had to shut off my irrigation system.
		I was waiting.
		I had to wait another hour.
		My brother came out on his bicycle.
		He lived next to me.
		And we were just looking up at the stars.
		And all of a sudden, we seen this thing like a red fireball.
		And it was moving in an erratic pattern, going here, there, moving.
		We started getting scared.
		It was coming towards us.
		And all of a sudden it stopped over, it looked like our neighbor's property, pretty close to us.
		And really, it looked like fire, a fireball, but moving around intelligently.
		All of a sudden, like lightning shot down this energy field, and it was like an outline, like a triangle going down at the earth, almost like a ray that goes wider as it comes down.
		And it was blue and like smoky blue, like you could see like a haze, almost like a tie-dye effect.
		But it was like lightning, just zap.
		But no sound.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know, I never know what to say to these things.
		Almost everybody, everybody has had a sighting of a UFO.
		Now, let me swap around a little bit here and ask you about this story that I read a little while ago about George H.W. Bush and what he might have said if this is a true story.
		He's said stuff before, and now he said that we couldn't take the truth.
		What do you think?
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Well, I think he said that.
		I believe that.
		I mean, they probably think that most people would be terrified if they told them all the truth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, they might.
		But I think.
		They might.
		I mean, even if what Dr. Jacobs says is true, to me, it's terrifying.
		I mean, if we're being taken over one person at a time, that's pretty terrifying, actually.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		My mother talked about a recurring dream she had when she was pregnant for me where a UFO lands in the backyard and they come out and go in her bedroom and stood over her bed and watched her while she's sleeping.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, then there are questions both about your mother and you.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, well, we'll save that for another show.
		Yeah, serious questions.
		Come to think of it.
		Let's go to the special line, the Scott Free line, and say hello there.
		You're on the air.
		Hey, Art, how are you?
		I'm well.
		Thank you.
unidentified		Welcome back.
		I'm glad you're back on the air.
		Back when I was young and stupid, me and my friends were going down to Mississippi and we were carrying some contraband on us.
		What kind of contraband, please?
		It was marijuana.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Marijuana.
		Okay, so stoked with marijuana.
		You're traveling through Mississippi.
unidentified		Stop with marijuana.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Not a bright idea.
unidentified		It was not a bright idea at all.
		We were young and stupid, and we got pulled over by the police.
		Yep.
		And we got searched by a policeman with a big toolkit, and he took apart the entire car find the marijuana, which happened to be behind one of the vents that you only had to take off.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You say he didn't find it?
		Oh, baby.
		You know, if he had had a dog with him, you would have been toast.
unidentified		Oh, we would have been toast.
unidentified		I was praying he didn't bring a dog, but he brought a toolkit and he didn't find it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Look how Things have changed.
		Yeah, how much did you have?
		I'm curious.
		Like a lid?
unidentified		Oh, yep, about a lid.
unidentified		We had an ounce on us, and we didn't.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sorry, was it an ounce or more than an ounce?
unidentified		It was an ounce.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It was an ounce.
		I'll tell you what.
		Thank you very much for the call.
		You, yeah, Scott Freya is right.
		They'd had a dog, you'd have been put away forever.
		Absolutely forever.
		Mississippi, long ago.
		Marijuana, not a good mix.
		Brother.
		Let's see.
		Where can I go?
		Let's go over here and say hello to Paul.
		Paul, you are on the program on Skype.
		I can't believe it.
		Well, yeah, you can believe it.
		All right, turn off the extinguish your.
		Oh, yes.
		All right.
		I see.
		We have a break.
		So, Paul, you hold on.
unidentified		Extinguish your device, please.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And we'll be back.
unidentified		We'll be back.
		We'll be back.

		That's 1-952-Call Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Or if you have something that you got away scot-free with, call my scot-free line at area code 575-208-7787.
		And I want to reflect a little on the guy in Mississippi.
		He reminded me, actually, of an event in my own life.
		When I was 16, I ran away from home.
		Ran, ran, ran.
		And I hitchhiked to Florida, which is where my grandma was at the time.
		And I remember, of course, when you're hitchhiking, you know, you don't, number one, at 16, have much money, and I sure didn't.
		Number two, I made it all the way to Georgia.
		And I remember Georgia because, oh, there was red clay everywhere.
		Boy, it grew on you.
		It's horrible.
		Anyway, I remember this cop pulled over.
		You know, that was in a day when you could hitchhike, and people actually picked you up, and they were nice to you.
		Anyway, this cop pulls over.
		It happens a lot when you hitchhike.
		And he said, well, what you doing out here at this time of night, boy?
		I'm trying to get Florida, sir, where my grandma is.
		Well, you know, it's dangerous out here.
		He said, I'll tell you what, you're not in any trouble.
		How about we take you in, put you in a cell with the door open, or not so much, maybe, because we've got about 300 freedom riders in jail right now.
		I said, well, thank you, sir.
		I appreciate the offer of a good night's sleep, but I think maybe I'll pass.
		He said, all right, you be careful out here and took off.
		Oh, yes, yes, yes.
		Hello on Skype.
		You're on there.
		James, I think it is.
unidentified		Hey, Art.
		Hey.
		This is James.
		I don't mind if you say my city or anything like this.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I can't see your city.
		You're just on Skype.
		It doesn't matter.
unidentified		Okay, okay.
		This is Scott Free called.
		That's why I called you.
		One of my contracts I had was working for a paymaster who was Austrian, and he was based out of Singapore.
		But the job was working for the Chinese, a company called April, paper manufacturing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wait a minute.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You really should not be mentioning company names.
unidentified		Okay, sorry about that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Anyway, let's just say you were working for a company in Indonesia, right?
unidentified		That's right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		So what had happened was it was a tri-fold contract.
		It was training people, gathering intel, investigating a homicide and four arsons on an island called Palauf Dong.
		Wow.
		Anyways, the picture you see of me, that's on that island.
		So what ended up happening was...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		When you're on Skype, you can have a picture, and I can see a picture of him.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It looks like you're sitting, right?
unidentified		Yeah, on a boat.
		Yeah, those canals are used to transport the timber that gets transported.
		So anyways, what ended up happening was, yeah, I did my investigation.
		I trained some people.
		All this stuff's strictly illegal.
		But I worked for a couple federal agencies, so I wasn't too worried.
		But it was the only time I've ever done a job with no support.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, let me tell you, if you get tagged in Indonesia for doing something really wrong, working for an agency or not, you're in trouble, man.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You don't want to be in one of their jails.
unidentified		No, I was freestyle.
		There was no agency.
		This was as an independent contractor.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, so you'd have been cooked.
unidentified		Yeah, I would have been done.
		But yeah, they still have people following everybody.
		They call them, oh, shoot.
		What do they call it?
		They called us, it means boss.
		Bullet.
		Bullet.
		Anyways, so any bullet, they see a white guy, you just try to look the parts, shorts, a short-sleeved shirt, button up.
		They really will follow you.
		I mean, it's not like Singapore where they have cameras everywhere.
		Indonesia, they actually will put a physical person following.
		And so anyways, I did my investigation and got everything done, bottled it up, typed up.
		The funniest part was when I made it back to Singapore, I got done.
		One of the agencies I worked for back in the U.S. was Immigration and customs.
		Well, Singapore has the same kind of thing.
		And they caught me with more than 20 cigarettes.
		And nowhere else in the world I've traveled is more than two cartons a problem.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		20 cigarettes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why are they bothering you about 20 cigarettes?
unidentified		Well, it was more than 20.
		I had 20 in a pack sealed.
		And then I had like eight in an opened pack.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, so what?
unidentified		I had to pay 200 Indonesia or Singaporean dollars online.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, this is in Singapore now.
unidentified		Yeah, this is in Singapore coming back.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Indonesia doesn't care.
		Singapore is really an uptight place.
		You know, you don't even want to spit on the sidewalk.
unidentified		Exactly.
unidentified		But I'll tell you one thing about Indonesia is it was dicey the entire time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So, I mean, your big story here is that you're going to be a big story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So that is your scot-free story.
unidentified		Oh, yeah.
		Oh, yeah.
		That was international scot-free.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And then you're busted for 20-something cigarettes.
unidentified		Coming home, coming back to Indonesia to go back to where I lived in America.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I got it.
unidentified		Yep.
unidentified		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I got it.
		Thank you.
		That's a good one.
		You're dealing with homicides and stuff like that in Indonesia.
		You make it out and get busted for 20-something cigarettes in Singapore.
		Yikes.
		Ridiculous.
		Let's go to our Scott-free line, and I think you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
		Well, I hope I'm on there.
		That means, Art?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is you, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know that only.
unidentified		Oh, fantastic.
		For sure.
		Well, Art, before I tell you my boring story, I have to tell you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why would you want to call me with a boring story?
unidentified		Well, compared to you, I mean, one of my favorite stories of yours, I mean, I never laughed so hard in my entire life.
unidentified		And I couldn't compete with that with a story you told when you zapped yourself with a stun gun or something with a cat sitting on you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't remember that story.
		Honestly, I don't.
		You don't.
		No, we've had stun guns, but I don't think I've ever done myself in with one, honestly.
unidentified		Either that or I'm losing it.
		Maybe the stun gun took care of the memory.
		Maybe it did.
		Anyway, what's up?
		Well, I'm calling you from one of your favorite places.
		I'm in Alaska.
		And I don't know if you ever will do shows from anywhere else, but I had such a blast in Alaska.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I've got to tell you, sir, I had as much fun as I've had in my life in Alaska.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And the reason is the people down here in the lower 48 don't understand that in the wintertime in Alaska, there is little else to do but party, right?
unidentified		That's correct.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And they go on non-stop.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'll leave it at that.
unidentified		Yes.
		Well, Mark, if you ever come to Alaska again, you know the University of Alaska now has control of HARP.
		Yes, I've heard.
		I happen to work for a place called the Geophysical Institute, and we're the ones that are running HARP now.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You are running HARP?
		You are running HARP?
		You know, I want to register a complaint with you.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		As an amateur radio operator, most of us think you have really screwed up the ionosphere with what you're doing.
		Now it's in private hands, and God knows what you're going to do with it.
		What are you going to do with it?
		Do you care to explain?
unidentified		Well, if I was in charge of it, I certainly would tell you.
		But I'm not the one in charge.
		I'm one of the worker bees.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What do you do?
unidentified		I am a computer support guy.
unidentified		I'm an IT guy.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're an IT guy.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So, in other words, you could take it down anytime you want.
unidentified		I was more thinking we could do a remote with you broadcasting from HARP.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		From HAARP?
		You know, not in this lifetime.
		Look, I appreciate your call, but HAARP is not a funny thing to amateur operators.
		We think that they have screwed up the ionosphere.
		I'm quite serious about this.
		Now, I don't know that to be a fact, but I know pouring high energy to the ionosphere is probably a poor idea.
		Listen, you know what?
		They actually bragged that they were able to run outside.
		The scientists were able to run outside and look straight up and see that they were producing northern lights.
		I'm not kidding.
		Imagine that much energy that you produce northern lights.
		That's doing something to the Ionist here.
		I'm telling you right now.
		Outside the country we go, Mark.
unidentified		Yeah, hi, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello, Mark.
unidentified		I'm at Zurich Airport in Switzerland, and I'm getting on a plane again.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And where are you going this time?
unidentified		I'm going to Birmingham, but if you remember the last trip I took with Lufthansa, I summoned the aliens, and there was a crack in the windshield.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, that's something right out of the Twilight Zone.
unidentified		Well, I'm going to do it again.
unidentified		I'm just about to board a Swiss flight to Birmingham.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I can actually hear what?
		I can hear the airport stuff in the background, so I believe you.
		But I think it's not a wise thing to do.
		You cracked the windshield last time.
		God knows what you might do this time.
		I think it's irresponsible use of consciousness.
unidentified		Yeah, but it's an experiment that we can all do together.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But why in God's name would you do it in the air?
unidentified		Okay, well, you're closer to them.
		I was hoping, like, to see a craft or something.
		I didn't expect them to actually crack the windshield.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, what if you put a crack in the engine or something?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Uh-oh.
unidentified		So you think I should not do it?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		My official position is you should not do it.
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		I respect you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All I would need is to hear about a plane going down.
		I mean, one did over in your area not long ago.
		That's all I'd need.
		And I would feel horrible forever.
		No, don't do it.
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		Thank you, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Have a good flight.
unidentified		Thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yep, fly safe.
		Things people do.
		He really did.
		Well, he used his conscious intent and created a crack in the windshield of the plane.
		The plane, I might add, that he was on.
		And he's at the Zurich Airport.
		It's just not bright.
		I'm not trying to be mean, but it's not bright.
		Okay.
		Let's go to the Scott Free Line.
		Where?
unidentified		In Philadelphia.
		It's been long enough.
		I won't get into any trouble.
		It's grid on TuneIn Chat.
		I just want to say hi to everybody.
		All right.
		Back in the day.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I hear that place is, by the way, sir, I hear that place is a jungle.
unidentified		Yeah, it is.
		When I was a teenager, I used to follow a Grateful Dead cover band.
		Yes.
		And we used to buy liquid LSD.
		And so my cousin was working in a, or he, I don't know what you call it.
		He worked at a Catholic church.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And he got the body of Christ, like the little wafery things.
		He had a whole stack of them.
		And we would bring them into our high school.
		And we would drip the LSD on them and sell them for like $15 a piece.
		That's a lot of money.
		That's truly horrible.
		Horrible.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You took communion wafers and put LSD on them?
unidentified		Yeah, I was tripping on Jesus.
unidentified		Oh, God.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, are you telling the truth?
unidentified		Yep, true story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And how many of these wafers did you pass about?
unidentified		We probably had like 15 or 20 of them.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you gave these.
unidentified		It was a novelty.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, you're lucky that the laws on this have probably expired.
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		So that's it, all right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thanks.
		You're welcome, sir.
		Can you believe that?
		The worst thing that you can do to a person is give them an unwanted trip.
		It's dangerous.
		Don't ever do that.
unidentified		Don't ever do that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's really dangerous.
		If you know you're going to do something like LSD and you've thought about it beforehand and you've prepared a proper atmosphere, even then it's kind of dangerous.
		But putting them on wafers and or anything else without a person's knowledge and giving it to them is a very, very serious thing to have done.
		I don't know what to say about that.
		Anyway, Scott Free, he says, on Skype, we're going to go and talk to somebody named Maple, like the syrup.
unidentified		Hello, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello there.
unidentified		How are you tonight?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Considering LSD-laced wafers.
unidentified		Ah, I see.
		I haven't been catching the show tonight.
		I'm actually in the car delivering.
		But I understand it's open lines?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, it is.
unidentified		Great.
unidentified		I'd like to tell you a pretty crazy story that happened to me a couple years ago.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you're going to have to top the last one, but go ahead.
unidentified		Okay.
		I live in Kingston, Ontario.
		It's a rather old, Canada's first capital city here.
		So it is a rather old city.
		And when I was 19, I think one of my very first apartments was part of an old house.
		And I invited my cousin and her friend over to just kind of hang out for the night.
		And we decided to play Ouija, or Ouija.
		Well, we didn't.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Technically, it is Ouija, by the way, not Ouija.
unidentified		Yeah, Ouija.
unidentified		We didn't have a board, so we used a shot glass and some post-it notes and made a circle kind of deal.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A shot glass and post-it notes?
unidentified		Well, yeah, we were 19, so we had more shot glasses.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I understand.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's only the intent that matters anyway, so.
unidentified		Exactly.
		Now, personally, I had never delved into the supernatural myself, so I didn't believe anything was going to happen.
		And my plan was to, you know, fool the girls and make them all scream and whatever.
		But what happened next was absolutely incredible.
		We talked to a ghost.
		We asked her, you know, what her name was, and she said it was Muriel.
		We asked her what year she was born, and she said it was 1881.
		Wow.
		And what year she died, and she said it was 1905.
		A couple other questions, nothing really spectacular.
		Then we asked it if it had any children.
		And it shot the shot glass right to goodbye.
		It didn't want to talk to us anymore.
		And I kind of pressed on further and asked her, you know, why don't you want to talk about children or whatever?
		And she just started spitting out gibberish, like nonsense, like a letter, then a number, then a letter, then a number, then a letter, etc.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, maybe that's why we had cussing at you.
unidentified		Exactly.
		And I didn't think anything of it.
		Well, Sierra, the other girl that was with us, my cousin's friend, she was writing it all down.
		So after we stopped, we were all a little freaked out.
		We stopped after and we went over the numbers and letters that it was saying.
		And at the end, it spelled out the word onion.
		And so we were like, oh, that's kind of weird.
		Now, on your guest last night, I believe, he was talking about the deep web.
		Now, I guess instead of .com, those sites are called .onion.
		So I'd never been on the deep web before, but we decided to go on a Tor browser.
		And we typed in this gibberish that she gave us, and then .onion.
		And it went to a child torture porn site.
		No word of a lie.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You really are living on the edge, aren't you?
unidentified		It was insane.
unidentified		It was the scariest ghost thing that has ever happened to me, and the only so.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's quite enough.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you better stay off the dark web.
unidentified		Exactly.
unidentified		Yeah, I don't ever want to go back there, that's for sure.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I appreciate the story, and you better ride this straight and arrow from now on.
unidentified		Oh, yeah, for sure.
		No more Ouija for me, or Ouija.
		Ouija.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Thank you very much for the call.
		I appreciate it.
		Because I'm quite aware the correct pronunciation is Ouija.
		Ouija board.
		I will not have anything to do with them.
		And before you pick up the phone and or get ready to send me a wormhole message, I will not talk about my experience.
		And nothing is going to get me to.
		It was that scary.
		And look, I don't think it's the board or any other trinket or anything that you would do.
		It's just the intent.
		When you pick up and start playing Ouija or anything else that tries, you know, if you sit in a circle and hold hands and try to summon a spirit, you're probably going to get what you don't want.
		And so you don't do these things.
		I mean, if you seek, you will find.
		And if you're found, it could well go in a direction that you don't really want it to go in.
		So my advice is don't do it.
unidentified		Open lines all night long.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		This is Midnight in the Desert, and I'm Mark Bell.
unidentified		Two drink backs.
		We will, we will rock you.
		We will, we will rock you.
		Gold.
		Calls.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We trust you.
unidentified		But remember, the NSA.
		Well, you know.
		To call the show, please dial 1-952-225-5278.
		That's 1-952-CALLART.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's it, all right.
		There are a number of ways you can do this.
		You can come in on Skype if you like.
		We're MITD51 in North America, MITD55 in the rest of the world.
		And back to the lines.
		Oh, yes, we have a Scott-free line.
		Now that means if you want to level with us about something that happened in your life that you did, that you got away from Scott-Free, then you're going to want to call area code 575-208-7787.
		That's area code 575-208-7787.
		Let us go to the Scott-Free line.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
		Art.
		Yes.
		Art.
		Well, I'm not sure what I can say, so I'll be cautious here, but I actually have two things.
		I'm not sure if I'm doing this right or not.
		I sent you an email about some new fusion discovery.
		But in the meantime, you opened up the...
		Well, no, no.
		Here's what I want to tell you about.
		I go to Vegas, I gamble, and I encountered the third largest killer beehive in the history of Las Vegas.
		And I got away with just a few stings, and I think it was in excess of 35,000 bees in the hive.
		I just thought I'd, I don't know if that gets away with scot-free or not, but it was a very, very unusual engagement.
		And I didn't know whether you wanted to hear that or not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Did you hit or kick this beehive or what?
unidentified		No, there's a house.
		It was on Flamingo and Pecos.
		And some young boys had bought it and turned it into a permaculture.
		And they found me to be interesting, and I stayed there with them.
		I was working, doing some work in the back two acres.
		And I began to do bee activity.
		And when I went up closer to the house, we noticed they were up in the Eve.
		It's a very tall house with a big pool and a huge place.
		And they asked me if I wouldn't try to move them out with some smoke.
		So I rigged up a can.
		Normally a bee won't bother you unless you bother it.
		Well, here's the point I want to make to you.
		I'll just try to wrap this up because it was a two-week engagement.
		But you have to understand that I've never felt that I'd been assimilated by a creature who could hover in front of me and feel that.
		And then they set me up, and when I ran to my van, there was one waiting for me.
		And I was staggered by the degree of being felt as if I'd been assimilated by these bees.
		And I'd have to tell you each story, but for example, I was in a small hut, and I noticed one hovering in the doorway.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, maybe you were.
		Maybe you were assimilated.
		You thought about that?
unidentified		Well, I don't mean, but what I'm suggesting to you is they were assimilating the data for the strategy because come to find out, we looked into it, and the killer bees set up a 100-yard perimeter.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, it certainly is true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We have killer bees here now.
unidentified		Oh, yeah.
		This has been, this was two years ago.
		But the fact I, I was so, I had no idea what I was messing with.
		And when you look at the dynamics of their capacity to kill by overwhelming numbers, it'd be right there.
		And I was, but the point is that I sprayed something with this bee, and he stood there and hovered.
		I reached out with the can, tapped him.
		He fell to the ground, got up, flew off, and then it came back.
		And then I got in my van, and they tried to come in the window.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know what I think, sir?
		I think you've been assimilated.
		I mean, do you find, for example, when you get near a fragrant flower that you reach down with your nose, you smell it, and sort of say, boy, that looks good.
unidentified		I can tell you this, that the bees, I have, now hold on a second.
		I have exceptional bee.
		Okay, what happened was several encounters were made, but they finally lashed out of me, stung me, drove me to the van.
		I'm driving down the street.
		They had me two times in the back of the neck.
		I'm trying to roll up the window.
		This was like a scouting party, like a beach landing special to Opsteam.
		The whole hive.
		But everywhere I go, Art, my car, when I drove back up, a hive of bees tried to get into my hood.
		And then it's as if they tag you in some way chemically.
		But the overwhelming thing I want to move to your audience is this, to Have a bee hover in front of you, and you can almost sense that bee is assimilating data.
		I just can't stress enough you do not underestimate the bees.
		And I think what saved me is I was in the Mojave Desert in 2001, whatever the computer is supposed to crash.
		Yeah, and I put out a jar.
		I was about 2,500 feet up.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, listen, sir, we're out of time for this call.
unidentified		All I can say is be safe.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I think he was assimilated personally.
		And I mean, I can't know that absolutely, but it sounds a lot to me like he was assimilated.
		And you are on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
		Oh, hello?
		Hello.
		Marlier.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're on the air.
unidentified		I am Mari from Minden, Nevada, and I think my house is really haunted because I don't know why.
		I just feel like I listen to EVPs, and it's just really creepy.
		It's just creeping me out around Orchard Road, around everywhere.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, don't tell us exactly where you are, but you listen to EVPs?
unidentified		Yes, I do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, there's your problem.
		Now, of course, I play them on my program, but I always warn people, you know, that you could be, well, that, number one, it's going to be scary, I warn people.
		And number two, frankly, if you start listening to the voices of those who have passed on, who knows what you're inviting?
		Like the widget board, right?
unidentified		Yeah, of course.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you really think your house is haunted, eh?
unidentified		Yes, because it all started with, like, sometimes I do my homework in my room, and I always hear, like, these strange noises, and it's always just in my room.
		It's not in my head, because I ran out of my room.
		I was, like, almost screaming, but I wasn't.
		And then I couldn't hear anymore, and then I went back, and then I kept on hearing those clicking noises.
		Terrible.
		How old are you?
		Eight.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're eight years old?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Same age as my daughter.
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I try to tell people on this program, we have people that listen and call from eight to eighty, and you just helped me prove it.
unidentified		Yes.
unidentified		I love your show.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's very kind, hon. Thank you very much for calling.
		And good luck with whatever's in your house.
		Don't let it get you.
unidentified		Oh, yeah.
unidentified		Is JC calling?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
		I don't know.
		JC, I am not going to believe until I see, or until I hear in this case.
		I'm getting all these messages that JC is, well, has arisen, let's put it that way, has come back from the forest with some kind of revelation.
		But until I actually hear his voice, it's just so much chatter on Facebook.
unidentified		So he hasn't been, like, on Facebook a lot?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, no, he recently has come back and is posting as JC.
		Now, whether that's really him or not, no idea.
		The only way we're going to know is when I pick up a line and, well, you know what he sounds like.
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, thank you for the call.
		I really appreciate it.
		Eight years of age, I told you, eight to eighty and probably beyond.
		It's just the nature of this program.
		Hello there.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Going once.
		Going twice.
		Oh, too bad.
		Sorry for you.
		Gone.
		Hello there.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Good evening, Arian.
unidentified		How are you doing?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm doing great, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How are you?
unidentified		Oh, I'm doing great.
		Hey, I just want to say you do such a great job with all the guests you have on this show.
		Oh, my kids.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Fridays, I just lay back and have fun.
unidentified		Sounds like a great job.
		Hey, you know, years ago, my dad got stuck out by Ash Meadows, you know?
		He was getting a load of hay back in the 70s, you know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And he'd come up here.
		He doesn't really get up and around that excited, you know.
		But he said, hey, you're the first guy that called, and he described this UFO thing.
		That's the same thing I saw out there, you know, and this was years and years ago.
		And anyways, that's the story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So he's on UFO.
unidentified		Yeah.
		Yeah.
		And then later on in the late 90s, I heard your show for the first time, and it was the Starchild Skull.
		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, all right, I'm going to ask you then.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Everybody who talks about UFOs tonight is going to get asked about George H.W. Bush and what he may have said.
unidentified		Oh, okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hey, he said that human beings could not take the truth about aliens if we knew about it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Could you take the truth?
unidentified		Well, that's just it.
unidentified		I kind of did a little bit of follow-up on that Starchild thing, and it's like, we'll put it this way, it's quite literally out of this world.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Could you take the truth?
unidentified		Well, no, that's what I'm saying.
unidentified		You know, if you read between the lines, what he really doesn't say this up, this guy that owned that Starchild skull, you know, I'll listen to some of his lectures.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't care about him.
		I'm talking about you.
		If they were to tell you the truth about UFOs and aliens, could you take it or would you crumble?
unidentified		Oh, no.
		No, no.
		I came to my own conclusion.
		I'm pretty sure it would be kind of shocking to most people.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And your conclusion is?
unidentified		Well, that we were like, like, we'll put it this way, like, there actually was an Adam and Eve, but it was, like, created from these creatures that was roaming around here, you know, the Neanderthals or whatever.
unidentified		I'm saying, I don't think we came from them.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You don't, huh?
unidentified		No, I think it was maybe up.
unidentified		Maybe these aliens used a piece of their genes or something to do what they did to come with us, but I think there was.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What about this idea that we are being slowly invaded by half humans and half aliens?
unidentified		Well, that's what I'm saying.
		They're coming back to collect.
		Maybe their only reason for making us in the first place, you know, is that we would procreate and we get real smart and we'd do things.
		And there's all these natural resources like steel and copper and stuff that was exploitable.
		And now we've exploited it all, and now it's all laying on the surface.
		And, you know, imagine people wanting to make spearheads back in the Stone Age or whatever.
		They can find that stuff on the surface.
		Now try it.
		If everybody went to the Stone Age, we'd never be able to find nothing.
		But anyways, these aliens could come down and just collect.
		Now it's all made.
		It's all this steel.
		It's all on the surface.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So in other words, if they didn't have to encounter us poor human beings, they could just collect all the scrap and they would have all this, well, everything, right?
		So yeah, maybe.
		Maybe.
		Victor, hello there.
		I'm sorry.
unidentified		Hi.
		Hi.
		Can you hear me?
		I do.
		Oh, great.
		First of all, I want to say thanks for accepting my call.
		Actually, I wanted to tell you an interesting story that happened to me a couple of years ago with me and my cousins.
		Okay.
		Okay.
		Well, we were hanging out in the garage.
		And we just hang out in the garage.
		Yeah, we were just drinking some beer, you know, hanging out.
		And my cousins had like a 90s caravan.
		And it turned on all of a sudden.
		And we went outside and we went to go check it out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It turned on all by itself, like Christine.
unidentified		Yeah, and they don't have an automatic starter or anything.
		And we heard it turn on, so we went outside.
		And we looked in the sky and we noticed some sort of glowing light or like orb.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And like a giant glowing key fob?
unidentified		It was more like a light beam.
		And it kind of like, I know, it's like every UFO story you hear.
		It kind of just disappeared.
		You know what I mean?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, they generally do.
unidentified		And we have, until this day, we still don't know how the band turned on.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, like I said, a giant going keyboard.
		That's all he can figure.
		Who knows?
		Interesting story.
		And if you, oh, yeah, if you're still there, you heard the story about George H.W., right?
		Is that a yes or no?
unidentified		Not the entire story, but.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, well, he said that, okay, well, he said, or is reported to have said, that if human beings knew the truth about aliens or UFOs.
		Actually, UFOs.
		That we couldn't take it.
unidentified		Really?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yep, yep.
		That we'd all break down and go berserk.
		And he didn't actually say that.
		But that was the, you know, I guess the idea.
		Anyway, I don't even know if the story is true.
		Thank you very much for the call, and take care.
		Let's go to our Scott Free line and say you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hello, on air.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're on air, yes.
unidentified		All right, Art.
		Just want to say a great show.
		Started listening to you about five years ago.
		I just wanted to tell a little bit of story that I had hopefully, what I am hoping for, is someone else seen it.
		So let's go back.
		This is about 2012, 2000, yeah, I believe 2012 in Chicago, Illinois.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, this is going to be another UFO story, right?
unidentified		Oh, absolutely.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So where do you see?
unidentified		Okay, well, for some reason during this summer, I was very interested in stargazing out of the blue.
		So I bought myself a telescope and started looking at the sky.
		I was with, actually I was by myself and my two roommates were, oh, there he is again.
		He's looking up.
		Don't break your neck.
		Yeah, you know, you are on my Scott-free line.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, does this end up being a Scott-free story?
unidentified		No, huh?
unidentified		It does not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, no.
		Carrie, thank you.
		Sorry.
		Cruel, mean, me.
		That's only for Scott-free stuff.
		You know, if you have a UFO story to call, I'm happy to hear from you.
		Just call one of the normal lines.
		Do not call my special line.
		That line is reserved for people who got away with something scot-free.
		And if I don't observe the rules, then others will break them again and again and again and again.
		From, I think, I'm not going to say where you are, but you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Hi, I'm from Oklahoma.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, well, you said it yourself.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Howdy.
unidentified		Oh, I'm sorry.
		Howdy.
		Yeah, I just had a quick question about Single Seven from 1998.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What about him?
unidentified		Yeah, have you ever heard back from him?
		Nope.
		You have not?
		We thought that was one of the most interesting conversations ever.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, with a lot of interesting things, sir, and particularly time travelers, many times you don't hear back from them because they have, well, gone to another time.
unidentified		Right.
		So one of my questions, I guess, is, is there anything about that conversation?
		Were there any discrepancies that you heard as you look back or listen back to that about that conversation with him?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		None that I know of.
unidentified		How about you?
		None that I know of.
		One of the interesting things that we found is that the Ark of the Covenant, he mentioned that that may be found in Ethiopia in, I think, 2037.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you may be right about that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A lot of people think it's Ethiopia where it's held.
unidentified		Yeah, they mentioned it on CNN just recently.
unidentified		So I was just curious.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Must be true then.
unidentified		I don't know.
		Maybe it is.
		Maybe it isn't.
		So was that one of the most interesting interviews you've ever had?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, gosh.
		How could I pick?
		You know, people ask me that all the time.
		The most interesting interview, the most interesting topic.
		Oh, my God, I've done so many.
		I have done thousands upon Thousands upon thousands of interviews.
		And so to pick one out would be impossible.
		Yes, I guess it could be said it was one of the more interesting.
		It certainly stood out in your mind, right?
		And on Skype, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Hi, this is Connor in Oklahoma.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hey, Connor.
unidentified		Hey, well, I gave you a call before about a demon story I had.
		Yes.
		Yeah, about how it would talk to me and kind of torment me and stuff.
		I kind of wanted to give you a call back.
		I was a bit nervous, and I didn't really tell you everything.
		I think you'd be interested to hear this other part about it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, I'm interested.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Go ahead.
unidentified		Well, you know, I told you before it would talk to me in the night as a small child, and it would mess with me and make me upset, and it would really take joy in doing that.
		But the reason I called it a demon when I told you is because I did actually see it.
		Okay.
		Well, uh-oh, I'm sorry.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I am so sorry.
		I clicked on somebody.
		My screen was getting very crowded with Skypes, and I clicked on somebody, and I should not have.
		And when I did that, it cut you off.
		So bring your demon back when you're able to.
		Outside the country, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi.
		Good day, Art.
		Is it me?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is you.
unidentified		Okay, I just want to relate a theory that I thought about missing time abduction cases.
		Yes.
		This theory came to me when I was listening to your show with Travis Walton.
		And one of the things he said was that before the case with the UFO happened, they were cutting timber down and he was nearly hit by a tree.
		And what came to me was that perhaps he was in another reality, maybe he was hit by a tree.
		And they took him to the hospital and he was, you know, he maybe died on the operating table.
		And then his spirit's sort of gone into this other reality where it's kind of rewritten time and rewound it back to before the accident occurred and then sort of concocted this timeline where he's abducted by a UFO and he appears five days later.
		And one of the things that sort of made me think of that was that after he said he came back, he was never sick at work after that.
		And I wanted to ring up and ask him a few questions at the time, but I'd only just come across the idea.
		But I wanted to ask him things like, you know, was there things like scars on his body that were missing?
		Because what would have had to have happened would be that when he went into this other sort of a timeline, his body would have had to have been repaired.
		And it may have been repaired purely on the memory of what his body was, of his own idea of what his body was.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, basically, if you can get repaired in that way, then I'd like to be picked up.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Otherwise, the even.
unidentified		Yeah, I thought it still could be true with people with missing time because a lot of them are in dangerous situations when they see UFOs.
unidentified		Like, for instance, people seeing them when they're driving, people maybe sleeping with sleep apnea.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, you just brought up a good point.
		Think how dangerous that is for a UFO to be toying about in the sky, and you know darn well people driving are going to do what?
		They're going to look up.
		How dangerous is that?
unidentified		Well, I think the UFO is a fabrication.
		I think they possibly had an accident and died.
		And the whole sighting of the UFO is something to cover that fact.
		Because it may be too difficult for people to remember the fact that they died and would interfere with their timeline now.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's always hard remembering when you die.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		There is that.
unidentified		Anyway.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What do you think about this H.W. Bush story?
unidentified		True or false?
unidentified		Whether he said it or not, I have no idea.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		And it's very ambiguous what he supposedly said anyway.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's not ambiguous at all.
		The American people couldn't take it.
		What's ambiguous about that?
unidentified		Isn't that just a line from some movie or anyway?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, no, sir.
		No, no, no, no.
		That's from the Brookings report.
		A great study was done on this at the Brookings Institution.
		And the Brookings Institution found that the American people could not take it, that institutions would collapse, that terrible things would happen.
		Now, I'm not saying George Bush said this, but what I am saying is that, number one, if he said it, it seems like it could be real because of Brookings.
		Number two, he's made other comments.
		And number three, he was head of the CIA.
		And number four, he was president.
		That is four, right?
		He was president.
		So he would know.
		If anybody would know, HW would know.
		Now, maybe he didn't say it.
		Maybe this is an internet rumor.
		But I have my suspicions it may be true.
		And if it is, then it may eventually hit the mainstream media.
		And again, I call to your attention Roswell.
		No, well, yes, Roswell and then Phoenix, where the lights appeared, the craft appeared.
		We screamed and yelled about it on the air here.
		And then two months later, when they darn well got ready to talk about it, they talked about it.
		And it was like somebody threw a switch.
		And it was on every major network, every major wire, service carried it.
		Two months later, on my Scott-Free Line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Hello?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		Yeah, hey, Art.
		Hey.
		Yes, I got a pretty good one for you, actually.
		Well, it is to me.
		It was at the time.
		I'm in my 50s now.
		Back when I was like, oh, 21, 22, I was out rolling around in Portland in my Monte Carlo with three guys that I'd just kind of piled into the car with.
		Marijuana wasn't really very legal back then, and neither was hash oil or anything like that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		They're not exactly fully legal now either.
unidentified		No, no, they're not.
		No, I've been quit for like 13 years, but I did smoke it for most of my life.
		But I don't really feel the need for it.
		But anyhow, back then, these guys were just rolling around.
		Now, I had a few plants at home.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And I learned how to isomerize, make cash oil.
		And I had a little bit of it in a bottle cure, yeah, excuse me, a bottle cap.
		Yes.
		And a little bag in my pocket.
		And we were sitting in this neighborhood smoking this stuff.
		And like cops do, this one came out of nowhere.
		And he was just at my door.
		And I go, oh, well, this ain't good, you know.
		So I rolled out my window.
		And yes, officer, he says, you boys up here getting in trouble.
		One of the neighbors called in and said they saw you smoking marijuana and you really shouldn't be doing that around here.
		And I go, yeah, well, sorry, you're probably right.
		Well, do you have any on you?
		And I had it right there in my lap.
		Yeah, so I handed it to him.
		The hash oil was in that bottle cap.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wait a minute.
		Wait, wait, wait.
		You just handed an officer hash oil?
unidentified		No, no, a bag of pot on my lap.
		It was probably a quarter ounce.
		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, okay, that's good.
unidentified		The hash oil was in a bottle cap on the lid to the glove box, which was open.
		Gotcha.
		And I was starting to sweat, and he says, why don't you step out the car?
		So I did, and he has me dump it out on the ground, and then has me crushing into the pavement there with my shoe.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Good sign, actually.
unidentified		Yeah, yes.
		And he says, well, do you have anything else?
		Well, I got a pipe, and I handed him that.
		And I didn't know if the other guys had anything or not.
		And he says, do you mind if I look around?
		And I says, well, no, not really.
		I didn't know nothing back then.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		At this point, your stomach is sinking, I'm sure.
unidentified		Oh, yes.
unidentified		Yeah, I'm just waiting for the irons to get clapped on and stuff.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I understand.
unidentified		He digs through the car.
		He asks the other fellows there.
		Do you guys have it?
		No, uh-uh, no, just what he had there.
		He was just sharing.
		And he digs through the car.
		He doesn't get the other guys out.
		And he reaches in, and he's rooting around in my glove box.
		And he gets back out.
		He's talking to me there.
		And he hands me back my license.
		Yes.
		And he says, all right, well, you're good to go.
		And that's what the time I see that bottle cap of hash rail stuck on his cufflink.
		Oh, God.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		I'm not kidding you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, man.
unidentified		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'll bite.
unidentified		What next?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What happened?
unidentified		What happened?
		He drove off.
		I drove off.
		He drove off.
		I dropped the other guy's home, but I went home to my wife.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		He probably just had a few Hail Marys.
unidentified		Yeah, I said some thank yous.
unidentified		That's the burn shirt.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my God.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I wonder when he finally discovered it and what he thought when he did.
unidentified		Oh, I have no idea, but I'll bet he was really ticked because that stuff probably got all over his uniform.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, man.
unidentified		It wasn't the real high-grade clear stuff.
unidentified		It was just Nancy.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Story of the night so far, buddy.
unidentified		Hi, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you for the call.
unidentified		It's free.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Him walking away with that on it stuck to him.
		That one's good, all right.
		That's going to be a good night.
		Someone said I got knocked off Periscope.
		I'll check it out.
		From the high desert, this is Midnight in the Desert.
		I'm Art Bell.
unidentified		I'm Art Bell.
		Wanna take a ride from the high desert and the great American Southwest.
		This is Midnight in the Desert, exclusively on the Dark Matter Digital Network.
		To call the show, dial 1-952-Call Art.
		That's 1-952-225-5278.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Somebody said, well, I didn't let the bee guy get to his whole story.
		I sure tried.
		He kept talking about the bee hovering right in front of his face and something about assimilation.
		And all I could get out of it is that he's probably now part of the hive mind.
unidentified		He was assimilated.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		On the first time caller line, you are on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Hey, this is Dale from Idaho.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello, Dale.
unidentified		How are you doing?
unidentified		It's an honor to speak with you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's an honor to have you on, sir, especially as a first-time caller.
unidentified		Yeah, I've been listening to you for years, and I signed up as a time traveler right away, right when I heard you're coming back on the air.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's kind of cool being able to go back to old shows and get what you missed.
unidentified		Yeah, it is definitely worth the plug.
		It's worth it because it makes my day at work go by so much faster.
		I have an idea for the future for an open line.
		I call it the Snowden line, and it would be for military and government whistleblowers.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I like it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The Snowden line.
unidentified		Yeah.
		Yeah, and Art, over the years I've been on the internet and I've tried to get as many archives of yours as I can, you know.
		Yes.
		And I looked on your Wikipedia page and it says that you interviewed Dr. William Pierce, the gentleman, well, I guess you can call him the gentleman, who wrote the Turner Diaries.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sounds good.
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		Well, I remember hearing an interview you did with Emmanuel McLittle of Destiny Magazine, and he was kind of on the opposite spectrum of that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		And I really want to hear those audios, but for nothing, I can't find them.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, okay.
		Okay.
		The deal is this.
		Folks, here's the deal.
		Look, I don't own those archives.
		Those archives are owned by the other.
		And they play them as they play them.
		And I don't know what will cause them to choose any particular archive.
		I have no sway over what they may or may not pick.
		But eventually, for the collectors out there, I know there are many, I suppose everything will, one time or another, play.
		Now, why they do that over there, I don't know.
		Because the last thing you would think that they would want would be to be advertising my name.
		Because we're back.
		But they continue to do it.
		I've never understood it, but I understand that it makes the collectors very pleased.
		All right, so let's go here.
		I'm not going to identify where you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, you're not allowed to use your last name on the air, so I took it out.
		So let's start again.
		Your first name is what?
unidentified		Robert.
		Okay, Robert.
		I'm known around the world as the summoner.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The summoner?
unidentified		Yes.
		What do you summon?
		I'm able to call down UFOs.
		I'm having an event on Sunday at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles.
		I'd like to invite everybody that's listening.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you're going to summon a UFO?
unidentified		Yes, I've done it many times.
unidentified		Surprised you haven't heard about me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I hear something in the background going tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.
unidentified		What's that?
		Oh, let me turn this off.
		I'm having an event, and it's going to be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
		Right.
		And MacArthur Park.
		There's going to be some special people there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What do you plan on?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What are you going to summon?
unidentified		I summon UFOs.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, yes, yes, I know, but I mean, anything in particular?
		Is it going to be a big one, a little one?
		Is it going to be really impressive?
unidentified		I really can't tell what's going to show up.
		Most of the time, small ones show up, but sometimes some craft show up.
		Their reason why they do things I really can't explain.
		I'm sure they try to protect themselves.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, let's try another angle.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How is it that you are able to summon?
unidentified		Well, I discovered that I could do this, and I telepathically called them down.
unidentified		And I've taught people all around the world how to do it, and they're doing it around the world.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, teach me how to do it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How do you do it?
unidentified		Well, what I do is I look up in the sky and I telepathically and I look as deep into the sky as I can, almost like Superman.
unidentified		It might sound funny, but that's what I do, and I telegraph the message to them.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		To me, it sounds like a superpower.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And I was thinking of doing a superpower line one of these nights.
unidentified		That would be great.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It would be one for you to call in on.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So MacArthur Park, what time?
unidentified		It'll be held from 11 a.m. till 5 p.m.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, normally I don't allow plugs on the air, but I let you do that.
		So there may be some people out there checking out what you're doing.
		I don't know.
		Jack, on Skype, you're on the air.
unidentified		Roswell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
unidentified		Yeah, it's good to have you back.
		I'm a Skype virgin.
		I just figured out how to do it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A Skype virgin.
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The rest of you is now gone forever.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Anyway, welcome.
unidentified		I guess so.
unidentified		What I wanted to relate to you was a small story, and I don't know if it has anything to do with paranormal or not, but it had something to do with spirits and experiencing one.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that sounds paranormal.
unidentified		Okay, I was a neighbor to an elderly couple.
		They were very good friends of mine.
		The elderly lady developed Alzheimer's disease, which herself.
		And her husband always had a hard time explaining who he was to her, things like that, because he would forget.
		One day I was just working out in my garage, and she was sitting on the porch.
		And I was testing the stuff I was working on, and I'd go back and I'd see she was still sitting there.
		And time and time throughout the day, she was still sitting there.
		So I finally went over to find out what's going on.
		And she said, well, I'm waiting for my husband.
		We're going to go out to breakfast.
		And what's taking him so long?
		Because I've seen you sit out here.
		Well, he's just getting ready.
		And she didn't realize how much time had gone by.
		So I went into the house to see what was going on.
		And I looked all over the house for him.
		Could not find him.
		Could not find him.
		I said, are you sure he's in the house?
		And she says, he's getting ready to go.
		And I finally decided to walk into the master bathroom.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And this is where I know for sure that there are spirits and souls.
		The minute I walked through the frame of the door, I felt him go straight through me and a tingling ceiling all around me.
		And I pulled back the curtain in the shower.
		And he had died of a massive heart attack slipped up the top.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, sir, I've heard so many stories like that.
		That's really something that is freaky.
		And I've heard people say I was over my, you know, dying grandfather Or something, and he died.
		And I felt his soul go through me.
		And so you really did feel that, huh?
unidentified		That made me a believer.
unidentified		The minute I walked through the doorframe of the bathroom, he was there waiting until his wife was found and taken care of before he left.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Man, what a story.
unidentified		That's exactly what I put together from it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Gotcha.
		Thank you so very much.
		And take care.
		Wow.
		You know, this is why people believe in this sort of thing, because it does happen, and it happens again and again and again and again.
		So yes, after a while, you begin to believe that there are things beyond our physical, material existence.
		There are.
		And that's why we do this show.
		Those are the big questions.
		The really, really, really big questions.
		Don't you think?
		Let's go to Denver, Colorado, and say hello.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Hey, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hey, hey.
unidentified		This is your undefeated atheist from Denver, Colorado.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
unidentified		I'm going to go ahead and let you in.
unidentified		Like, I know that, you know, there's a lot of people here that they honestly do hate me for my skepticism on majority of the shows, but I will.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why would anybody hate anybody for skepticism?
unidentified		Well, you know, old people.
unidentified		Now, wait, wait, wait.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're an atheist.
unidentified		I am.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So that's not just being a skeptic.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's sort of a religion of disbelieving, yes.
unidentified		Yes.
unidentified		But don't call it a religion because not stamp collecting is not a, you know, hobby.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's pretty close.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's pretty close.
unidentified		I will tell you, would you like to actually hear the story that made me question the only thing that made me question my atheism?
unidentified		Because there was one time I had, which I believe was a haunting that actually made me question my atheism.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I should hope.
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		So.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're hearing from the other side.
unidentified		It's a good story, Art.
unidentified		I'm not going to lie.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It cannot be such a hot story if you're still an atheist.
unidentified		Well, it made me question it.
unidentified		I was kind of in the middle at the time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Give me the story.
unidentified		Then it made me become an atheist even more when I went ahead and dealt with it.
unidentified		But I will give you a story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Lay it on me.
unidentified		All right, here's my story.
		I used to live in Iowa, and in 2007, I moved to Greeley, Colorado.
		And when I moved there, I moved to my brother's house, and I lived in his spare bedroom that he had for his child, but his child wouldn't sleep in that bedroom because he was acting out.
		He was about three to four years old, and he really had a problem sleeping in his own room.
		But before that, he had no problem.
		And they moved to this house, and I didn't believe their claims of the things that happened there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, what is it that happened?
unidentified		Well, because of the fact that they were both, you know, they're both potheads.
		And before that, they had both done methamphetamine.
		So I didn't believe it.
		I was straight edge.
		I didn't believe any of that because of the fact that they had done drugs before that.
		I thought that it had ruined their mind.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, so in other words, you thought their haunting was in their pot.
unidentified		Exactly.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, and so what happened?
unidentified		Well, when I moved there, I was watching a DVD on their DVD player, and I was sitting there with a friend.
		I was laying on the love seat.
		He was sitting there in the recliner, and during that fact, it was the third season of The Office, and I heard something, and it actually really shocked me.
		I was sitting there, and I heard something say in a whispering, deep kind of whisper voice, saying, I'm sitting here.
		And that made me like kind of sit up, and I had one of those moments where I had a lump in my throat and you can't speak kind of deal.
		Like you're that scared.
		Yes, we can all relate you're that scared.
		The person next to me said to me, oh my God, what was that?
		And then they said back to me, they said, I heard something scared.
		And I said, yeah.
		I was like, I'm sitting here.
		They kind of heard it as well.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, that's your story.
unidentified		No, no, no.
		It gets even further into it.
		And I can go into it for about 30 more seconds, and I can go ahead and make you a believer.
		Because it actually made me want to.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		30 seconds, 29, 20 seconds.
unidentified		Okay, here.
		So I'm sitting there and nothing's happening.
		And my brother comes home one night and my sister is working over at the Kodak area over there in Windsor.
		And she comes back and says, hey, we've heard that this area is actually kind of a big haunting area.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		10 seconds, sir.
unidentified		Oh, sorry, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No problem.
unidentified		Because of the fact that there's actually, you know, there was an internment camp that was held here for all the people who lived here, you know, during World War II who were, you know, Jewish.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And so you're thinking it was one of them?
unidentified		Well, yeah, we actually had to deal with a few of them.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, thank you very much for the call.
		And you ran over time, actually, your own time prediction.
		You had to learn to tell stories sort of succinctly.
		And even after all that, you're still an atheist anyway.
		So, you know, I'm not sure what to tell you.
		On the Scott-Free line, you're on the air.
		Hello.
		Do you have a Scott-Free story?
		I'm fine.
		Do you have a Scott-Free story?
unidentified		Yes, I do, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		And this is Paul.
		Yes, Paul.
		And I tried before with Skype, and it did not get along.
		So we'll go landline.
		When I was in my 20s, I and two other friends of mine decided, because we made these little challenges, to go to a government area.
		And I can't tell you the name of this area, but anyone associated with the Navy will know it, and it's in Indiana.
		It's now defunct.
		We went in on a snowy night and thought we could slip in and slip out.
		And we got in this area, and the military police were all over us.
		Now, we were very fit.
		We parked our vehicle like three miles out, jogged in, and we were trying to move, and every time we moved, they moved.
		And finally, we got our useful.
		We were jogging and snow about eight inches deep.
		We got our little dumb young heads together and said, somehow they know where we're at.
		And maybe it's body heat.
		And there was a small building that was actually how we got on was to this private property, this farm, just a stupid farm gate.
		And that was the hole in their security.
		And we got in this building because there were animals in the building.
		And I'm sitting there.
		And I mean, we figured we're done.
		We figured we're toast.
		I mean, you know, they're going to take us out and shoot us.
		We're going to spend the rest of our life in Leavenworth.
		I mean, we had to give up because everywhere we moved, I mean, we even let the snow drift over us, and they got on us again.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So somehow you got inside, you hid among the cows, and your body heat was the same as theirs.
unidentified		Well, that's what we thought at the time, and I think now saved our bacon.
		But the funny part of this story is, I mean, I'm scared.
		I mean, we went out looking for a cheap frill, buddy, we got our nickels and our times worth.
		I'd rather rebuild an old swan, every resistor and capacitor and tube at a time.
		And it was tough.
		Yeah, so you've been there.
		Okay, so I felt funny, and I reached back behind me, and I got a handful of snotty cow nose, and I about did my pants.
		I mean, I did not know what this thing was.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I mean, be respectful, sir, when you eat beef jerky.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's all I can say.
unidentified		And we got back out in one piece.
		So, I mean, that was very scot-free.
		I'm sure I would still be inhabiting a cell somewhere in Leavenworth because we actually found what we thought was a nuclear facility in there.
		But aside from it, you know, we got out.
		We all grew up.
		I'm past my sixth decade and an amateur operator like you.
		And you see me occasionally sign off with my calls.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
		We don't put those on the air.
		But all right.
		Thank you very much.
		I appreciate it.
		And you take care.
		Seven threes, as they say.
		I think everybody has had one of those moments when you get away with something that you probably have no right getting away with.
		He mixed up his own body with cows.
		Life is like that.
		Sometimes you get away with things, and sometimes you simply don't get away with them.
		And then you spend time with other people who are also incarcerated for reasons of not getting away with whatever they were doing.
		Anybody wanting to comment on this George H.W. Bush story?
		Are certainly welcome to.
		I think it is the question of the weekend.
		Is it a true story?
		Is it a false story?
		Is it something that is, well, kind of true, but not being reported by mainstream media?
		I don't know.
unidentified		If you think that I don't know about, then I'll just you play.
		I'll never see you when you live with me, but you live in my way.
		Your radio flight with midnight in the 10-year control.
		1952-4.
		That's 1-952-225-5278.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Contact at MITD51 for outside North America, MIPD 55.
unidentified		And with that in mind, let's see.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where should we go?
		Let's give that person time to set up.
		By the way, there has been no, as of yet, Jay-C presence.
		So if this show goes by without J-C making some sort of appearance, I am going to conclude that the person doing the posting on Facebook just is not working for the Lord.
		Let's put it that way.
		Oklahoma City, hello.
		Hello.
		Yes.
unidentified		Hey.
unidentified		Hey, thank you for taking my call, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, you're back.
unidentified		Me and my brother are big fans.
		He was actually talking to you earlier.
		You actually hung up on him about demons, but we still love you, though.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I just want to tell you that.
unidentified		Nice.
		Yeah, I actually wrote down my points to get it clarified.
		I just want to bring up free speech in general with truth of the government and conspiracies or whatnot.
		And it's like I struggle with speaking my mind because I don't want to be demonized or segregated against.
		And even though some stuff is obvious, like what?
		What?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What are you talking about?
unidentified		Like, well, like the gun, the gun laws and gun laws?
		Yeah, like trying to confiscate, like trying to demonize guns when it's clearly a mental health issue with all these mass shooters.
		I mean, the pills that they issue these guys literally have suicide warnings in the commercials.
		And has anybody thought, like, maybe we should just prescribe them medical marijuana, which, by the way, hasn't killed one single person in the history of mankind.
		I'm not talking about ingesting.
		I'm talking about smoking.
		You physically can't die from it.
		It's impossible.
		That's pretty good for 10 billion people, you know, total in the history of mankind.
		But anyways, I'm kind of going a little rampant.
		I've had two nap drinks, so I'll be honest with you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		See, you're over the limit.
		I could tell.
		When you first called, I could tell.
		You were just all splintered off.
		You didn't know what you wanted to talk about.
unidentified		Well, I love you, Shell.
		I love everything you cover.
		You have a great positive vibe.
		But to respond to the atheists that called in earlier, I actually used to be an atheist.
		I was a Christian.
		I thought I was an atheist in college, like a lot of people.
		Yes.
		But I saw the hypocrisy of atheism and how you're automatically, with the exception of Pinjillette, you're automatically you have to be socialist and liberal.
		And then, you know, you're tolerant of Islam, but Islam isn't tolerant of you.
		And it doesn't make any sense.
		Sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sir, I'm going to have to leave the line, and you can have another one, okay?
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		Are you cutting me off?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I am.
unidentified		Okay, that's fine.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm cutting you off.
		Thank you, and have a good day.
		You're on the air.
		This is midnight.
		Hello?
unidentified		Let me speak to Mr. Bell immediately.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my God.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Is it really?
unidentified		Is this our Bell?
		It is.
		How dare you, Mr. Bell?
		You, you know who this is?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm not sure yet.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm listening to every little bit of tonal quality in your demon-filled voice.
unidentified		How dare you?
		The rumors of J.T. Webster III's demise are greatly exaggerated and, in fact, defamatory, Mr. Bell.
		Defamation.
		Yes, I could show you for that.
		I can take you to court and get every red penny out of your subscription service.
		And how do you like that?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know, I didn't say you were dead.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I said, if I don't hear from you pretty soon, I'm going to conclude that you've passed on.
unidentified		That's all.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		There's nothing defamatory in that.
unidentified		And you would delight in that, wouldn't you?
unidentified		So tell us, Jay-Z, just stop, stop.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let's find out what's been going on in your life.
		For example, you disappeared into the wilderness, virtually disappeared.
		And then you had somebody writing on your Facebook telling us that you were out there alone and cold.
		Is that true?
unidentified		That was Petunia.
		She doesn't know my temperature.
		Listen, don't try to get off topic.
		What happened was, you know that you had that devil woman on.
		I did.
		She cursed upon JC and put upon a curse upon him.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		JC.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How would you know who I had on if you were out in the middle of the wilderness?
unidentified		This was before.
		This is what drove JC to the wilderness was the sickness and the demonetry that had been put upon JC.
		Yes, an attempt to kill JC.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So did you have a stroke or did you have a heart attack?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What happened?
unidentified		Fell into a deep sickness and overriding demonetry was upon the demon presence.
		The demon spirit had come down, down, down, down upon J.C. Webster as put upon by the witch which you had upon the elevator because you knew that J.C. would rebuke you and go into spiritual warfare.
		So J.C. was called into the wilderness by the Lord, by God himself, to have an audience with the Lord and go through the underworld and deal with all the demons.
		Did you meet the Lord?
		I met with the Lord and received the new, the revelation of the blood moon.
		And you know what the Lord told Jaycee Witten?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What did the Lord say?
unidentified		The Lord said, JC, you have been so kind and tolerant and forgiving up until this point.
		You have been weak in my presence.
		And you need to get it together.
		The spiritual Cold War is over, JC.
		The spiritual Cold War.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you are now the anointed one.
unidentified		Reanointed with a new purpose revealed under the butt moon.
unidentified		And yes, yes, and this the Lord commanded JC, taketh a bride.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A bride?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And what happened?
unidentified		What happened to Edna?
		Who?
		I'm sorry, who?
		I'm not sure who you are.
		The woman who stole $10,000 of the Lord's money from J.C. Webster ran off with the bikers and got into the shootout in Raco.
		Yeah, she caused that.
		That's what she's up to, that no-good corruptizer.
		But you're trying to get me off the topic of my bride, my newfound love.
		Listen, the Lord has anointed JC and commanded...
		That's a woman who's willful in the ways of the Lord.
		Oh.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you're now wedded to Kim.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Is that right?
unidentified		Give me a minute here, Mr. Bill.
		If you don't let me just have a minute to talk, I would like to get here upon my knees and say to you, this is to you, Kim Davis.
		Will you marry me?
		Oh, yes.
		Yes, Mr. Bill.
		A union.
		This is what the Lord wanted.
		He called me to the wilderness to explicitly command me to take her as a wife.
		So you are now proposing on the air to Kim to Kim Davis.
		If you, anyone who knows her, just call her, play her this tape, play her the cassette, and let her know she's got a husband.
		A husband.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		If she wants.
unidentified		Hallelujah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but I'm all right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Jay-C is.
unidentified		What What are you talking about?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		If she wants it.
		If she wants you.
		I mean, it's great that you made a proposal on the air and all that stuff, but how do you know she wants you?
unidentified		Of course she does.
unidentified		Has she heard you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Has she heard you?
unidentified		I would think so.
		Well, 100%.
		And how do you know?
		How do you know?
		Jay C, do you know what her belief system is?
		She's a Christian.
		I know that she...
		Yes, she's working.
		All right, she should be at home in the kitchen.
		That's right.
		At least she's working for the Lord and she brings in her beliefs and doesn't allow the queers to push us around.
		Pray just to kick her, else we'll sue you.
		Listen, that time's over.
		The spiritual, no more Mr. Nice God.
		We have to rise up as Christians and take this nation back from the filth and the gutter scum that are polluting this nation and turning it into the most vile pit of sin, this side of France.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		This side of France?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You mean there's a country that's actually more sinful than we are?
unidentified		Well, France.
unidentified		And probably Japan.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And Japan?
		Really?
		France, I get it.
		I don't get Japan.
		It's good to hear you back, JC.
unidentified		Listen, listen.
		You're not letting me talk about how the Canadians are holding Randy Clayton hostage, trying to hostage him in a jail to exploit America.
		The Canadians are holding him in the jail right now.
		How come that's not on your news program?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Say goodbye, JC.
unidentified		I don't have to take that down to a piercing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Say goodbye, JC.
		Say goodbye, America.
		Good night, America.
unidentified		He's gone.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So what do you all think?
unidentified		Teacher, leave them kids alone.
		Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone.
		Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone.

art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank God the NFL is back.
		I needed that break to recover just from the presence of JC.
		I really needed that break.
		Yeah, that was JC.
		I guess he's back.
		He has arisen.
		Now, he claims a new love.
		Well, anyway, he proposed here on the air to somebody, and it does appear that he spent some time in the wilderness, that I caused, well, either a stroke or a heart attack by having Blanche on.
		I don't know.
		But how long has it been?
		I don't think I've heard Jay-Z in years?
		Been years?
		That was Jay-Z sounding a little bit older.
		Not necessarily any wiser, but definitely a little bit older.
		That was the real thing, all right.
		Hey, Sean, Skype, you're on here.
unidentified		Hello?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello there.
		How are you?
		Recovering.
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Get a little closer.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Closer, closer, closer to the mic, Sean.
unidentified		Is this better?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Yeah.
		Yeah, hard to match the last call.
		Anyway, I just had a few questions that I wanted you to answer.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, no, no, no.
		Match the last call.
		Sorry?
		Match the last call.
		No, that's right.
unidentified		Go ahead.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Whatever you got, go.
unidentified		All right.
		I remember my question is, like, how far in advance do you book guests?
		Because I remember it's been like about three weeks ago when you said you would have Neil deGrasse Tyson on.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yes.
unidentified		Is that still in the answer?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, yes, yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And to answer your question, we stay about a month ahead, booked.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So Neil de Grasse.
unidentified		Oh, okay.
unidentified		So like in a month or so, we'll be.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I'm not going to give it away, but your guess is not far off, actually.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		And second, and I know you're very tired of hearing this, but are you doing a Halloween special this year?
		Of course.
		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We're doing a whole bunch of shows, actually, before, during, and after Halloween in celebration of the great month.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Did you hear that, Jay-Z?
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		So just to give you an opportunity, even though I know what the answer is going to be, even on the Halloween special, you will not tell your Ouija board story, right?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That is correct.
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		Like 100%, not even the slightest?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		110%.
unidentified		All right.
		All right.
		Well, thank you so much for taking my call, and best of luck to you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're very welcome.
		No, I won't talk about that.
		I will advise all of you to stay the hell away from it.
		Actually, I'm quite serious about that.
		Stay away from Ouija board.
		They're just not good for you.
		They're not good for anybody.
		It could well be that you would bring something that your family would have to deal with.
unidentified		It's just bad news.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		On our very special line, you are on the air.
		What did you get away with, Scott Free?
		Hello?
unidentified		Am I now?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, you are.
unidentified		Hello.
		So, yeah, actually, Scott Free, this is going into the president thing, and I'm actually from Portland, Oregon, and the President came down here to Roseburg today.
		I heard that.
		I was actually surprised that he didn't go into his gun issues.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, were you actually there when the president was there?
unidentified		I was not actually there, but I talked to a few people that were there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I saw a lot of demonstrators.
unidentified		Yes.
		Yeah, there was.
		Absolutely.
		And that was kind of the issue.
		But my thinking is what happened to me in this, when you were saying in Scottsford, I've never told anybody this outright.
		Well, tell us now.
		But I was a team leader in the U.S. Army, and I actually held up a M16 to my squad leaders.
		Hey, we just came back out from maneuvers.
		We just got back in the barracks, and I didn't realize that there was an actual round.
		I had a magazine in my M16, but I didn't realize there was an actual round in the chamber.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Famous last words, literally.
unidentified		Yeah, but honestly, it scares me to this day.
		And I think about it sometimes.
		But for some reason, I just didn't pull the trigger.
		But I had it pointed right at his face.
		And he was probably about 35 feet from me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you were doing this.
		Why?
		Why were you pointing at his name?
unidentified		Joking.
		Oh, being stupid.
		Being stupid.
		Yep, yep, yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And then you later figured out there was a round in the chamber.
unidentified		Well, actually, when we, we actually, after that, we went out, came back, and when I went to sleep, I cleared my rifle and a round popped out.
		That's how I knew.
		And because when I cleared it, and I was like earlier when I was pointing it at him, and if I had to pull that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I get it.
		Believe me, I get it.
		And you're right.
		You got away scot-free, buddy.
unidentified		Well, I didn't do anything.
unidentified		I mean, at least nothing bad happened.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Close enough for comfort.
unidentified		If there ever is a guardian angel out there, he must have been with you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		He or she was with you that day.
		All right, got it.
		Oh, good Lord.
unidentified		Can you imagine?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Usually, if you're doing some stupid, idiotic, lame joke like that, you end up pulling the trigger.
		So, you know, you get the clicking sound, right?
		Only had he pulled that trigger, there wouldn't have been a click.
		There would have been a kaboom.
		And then there would have been, well, a trial.
		There would have been all kinds of trouble.
		That one goes down as a hot item as well for Scott Free.
		Our Scott Free line is area code 575-208-7787.
		And it certainly is full.
		I mean, this is one that could go to next week.
		Felipe, you're on the air.
		Hello.
		Hello, let me turn off my device.
		Yes, turn off your device, please.
unidentified		I had a quick question for you.
unidentified		I'll take my answer off the air.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And that is.
unidentified		What are your favorite songs?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's so easy.
		You hear them every night.
		Now, there are, to be frank with you, some songs that I desperately want to play that are pre-1972.
		There's a thing going on in the music industry right now, and you really can't play pre-72 songs unless they have been remixed.
		You know, the remix has been issued.
		So there are a bunch of songs I'm dying to play that I cannot play until they get it figured out.
		And they're working on that now.
		Let's go back to our Scott-Free line in, well, I'm not going to say where it is.
		Hello.
		Hi there.
unidentified		Is this up, Bill?
		Hi.
		This is Morrisa on the Scotts.
		This is the Scott-Free line, right?
		Right.
		Okay, this happened a little over 20 years ago.
		Me and my brother were in middle school, and we were bored one day, and we decided to have the bright idea.
		Hey, let's set up some Torito bottles and bowl in the living room.
		Well, that didn't turn out that great because the ball turned and went through a sliding glass window.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, man.
unidentified		Yeah, so me and my brother freaked out for about a few minutes, and my brother had the bright idea.
		Well, the house two dollars down was for it.
		Why don't we just go and get the glass from there and replace it before folks got home and got in really bad trouble?
		So middle day, me and my brother, go next door, unscrew the door, bring it back.
		We're carrying this pleased big piece of glass in the middle of a major city.
		Nobody ever says anything.
		We get it all put together.
		Our folks come home.
		Nobody was ever the riser.
		A couple of months later, landlord asked my mom if she knew anything about it.
		She had no clue.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's a real winner.
unidentified		So you were lucky and it fit?
		Oh, well, we lived in a, they were all cookie kettle houses.
		Gotcha.
		The same layout, the same everything.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So if it had not worked out for you, I mean, you were piling one bad idea on top of another, really.
unidentified		Not much, but I was lucky.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		We were very lucky, and like I said, back then, this was over 20 years ago, so we would have been in a lot of trouble with our phone rings.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, that goes down, thank you, as one of the top five of the night.
		Can you imagine that?
		We're going to have to do this line again.
		It's staying so full, and there are so many confessions waiting to be made.
		It's hard to pick.
		It really is hard to pick.
		Let's just go to the regular old line and say, hello, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello, Art.
		How are you doing?
		This is Randy.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi, Randy.
unidentified		Hey, man, it is so good to have you back on the air.
		Thanks for coming back.
		We really missed the night.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's good to be here.
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		Well, this will prompt the George Bush question.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Good.
unidentified		I have a UFO story to tell you from the mid-90s.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		Well, it was a Friday night, and I worked at a factory in my hometown, and I did the UC lab there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Uh-oh, you're breaking up a little bit.
unidentified		Oh, okay.
		How's this?
		How's that?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, yelling doesn't help.
unidentified		I mean, it's got to be in a good spot.
		Okay.
		Well, what I'm trying to do is make sure that it gets in better.
		Well, what happened, I stepped in to do a quick check in the lab that night, and as I backed out of the parking lot, I looked to the north of town across a mostly empty industrial area out there.
		And I noticed that there was a series of red and green lights in the sky.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Kind of in an oval shape.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		I thought, no, no, this can't be.
		No, no.
		Art, it was a huge UFO.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I mean, you are one of millions.
		So many have seen them.
		What did it do?
		Did it just hover there or take off eventually?
unidentified		It was a very windy night, and it was sort of bobbling.
		And I thought, no, no way.
		I backed out.
		I had a hot car.
		I took off straight north, and I'm chasing after this thing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You wouldn't think a UFO would bobble in the wind.
unidentified		Well, that's...
		They don't always hover level.
		The videos you see.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you took off after it in the car?
unidentified		Yes, I did.
unidentified		At speeds in excess of 100 miles an hour, an industrial cart.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So it was bobbling right along.
unidentified		And it was moving.
		It was going across, and I was racing faster.
		And the thought crossed my mind, you know, I'm actually chasing one of these things.
		This might not turn out too good.
		So I kept going.
		I got closer and closer and faster.
		Finally, I made a left turn, and I said, I got you now.
		And I headed down this one road, and as I got up underneath it, I could see quite plainly on the side of it, Fuji film.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So what you were seeing, obviously, was some sort of derigible.
unidentified		Yes, it was a Fuji film blimp trying to make it to our local sports.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and you, okay, you're breaking up again, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And so anyway.
unidentified		You were just trying to make it to the Austin, to the University of Texas football game.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Gotcha.
		And think about it.
		You darn near killed yourself chasing after a Fujifilm advertisement in the air.
		My goodness.
		Michael on Skype, hello.
unidentified		Hello, Art Giga Roswells from Salt Lake City.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, brother.
unidentified		And had a couple of just curiosity questions, you know, killing the cat, but hopefully satisfaction will bring them back, just kind of geeky things.
		Yes.
		But with your XDS satellite thing, I was just really curious, do you send that directly from you, or do you still go to the internet to Keith, and then does it go out from him?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, it goes from a primary server is all I'm going to say, directly to XDS, so they get a superb signal.
unidentified		Oh, fantastic.
		Well, I guess my sort of Scott-free story, it's nothing amazing like some of these others, but I was a kid doing some prank calling, and the people called back all irate, and I happened to be the one that answered the phone, and I just changed my voice and said, I've tried to tell my kid over and over not to do that.
		I will not talk to him again.
		I'm really, really sorry.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And it worked?
unidentified		Yeah?
unidentified		Usually you're going to like lower your voice.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		This is Jerry's dad.
		I'm sorry he did that.
		That'll never happen again, and I will deal with him immediately.
unidentified		Exactly.
unidentified		But yeah, I got away with it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, yes, you've got to realize that a lot of people have caller ID.
unidentified		That was just at the very end of the days.
		Oh, yeah, they did have it.
		That's why they called it a bad day.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, if you've been caught, it could have been end days for you indeed.
		All right.
		Well, thank you very much for the call.
		Thank you, Michael.
		Appreciate it.
		I'm still actually not over JC.
		This is a Friday night.
		Anything goes open lines night, midnight in the desert.
		Good to be here.
unidentified		We'll be right back.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, not right back, but we'll be back.
unidentified		We'll be right back.
		Thank you.
		So, so Midnight in the desert spans the world.
		To call us from outside the U.S. and Canada only, use Skype with a headset mic if on a computer and call MITD55.
		That's MITD55.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		There is raging on the wormhole.
		A great debate about JC.
		That was JC.
		No question about it.
		Now, did JC sound better?
		Oh, yeah.
		But then again, we do sound better.
		You could hear little bits of the quality of his real voice, but...
		Absolutely no doubt about it.
		That was JC.
		He has arisen.
		And I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing, but it is a thing.
		Ding.
		On our Scott-Free Line, you're on the air.
		Hello there.
unidentified		Hi, Ark.
		Hi.
		It has been years and years and years.
		I used to listen to you.
		And now you've grown up.
		You remember me?
		Oh, anyway.
		Yes.
		I got away with my life.
		And to this day, when I think about it, I can't even think about it too hard or I start to freak out.
		What happened?
		So in about the late 90s, probably around the time I started listening to you, I was a commuter student.
		I was living at home and I was commuting to a school about 30 or so miles away.
		And it was a very nice drive there.
		And the main road that took me there was about two lanes going in each direction, but it had a kind of a look of a country road.
		And cars, it was a road that cars would normally use, but this happened at my class, I guess.
		Must not have been during rush hour.
		And there I was on this beautiful straightaway, scenic trees, and I stepped on the brake, and my car accelerated.
		You stepped on the brake and it accelerated?
		Yes.
		Oh my God.
		And stepping on the gas did nothing.
		It didn't make it go slower or faster.
		Yes.
		My mind was racing.
		So was your car.
		The brake, just touching the brake made it go even faster.
		It was unreal.
		And I started to look around.
		I guess I was trying to think back to driver's education in high school.
		Where do I ditch this car?
		Are there some soft bushes?
		Would I rather go into a house?
		I don't know what to do.
		And then I thought, oh, well, I could.
		Finally, I decided I was going to throw my car into park.
		I had my seatbelt on.
		I always wore my seatbelt.
		How fast were you going?
		The road was about generally a 35 to 40 mile per hour road.
		At that point, I was at least going 50.
		Yeah, it was.
		I didn't know what to do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, well, it didn't occur to you to turn off the ignition, I take it.
unidentified		No, it really didn't.
		I'm not going to lie to you and say that wouldn't have been a great idea.
		That did not occur to me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you threw it into park?
unidentified		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No.
unidentified		I looked down.
		I looked down at the gear shift or whatever it's called.
		It was an automatic.
		And I thought, oh, hey, there's that N, maybe neutral.
		Yes.
		See what that would do.
		And I put it into neutral and the car jolted and it slowed down.
		And then I said, okay.
		I had to try and steer it over to the side.
		I got it over to a big, there was a big shoulder and it was kind of near civilization.
		And I managed to get it over there.
		And the brake worked, and the accelerator worked.
		And I just sat there.
		The whole thing had taken about 20 seconds or so.
		Those were the longest 20 seconds of my life.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I bet they were.
		That is scary.
		And you're right.
unidentified		Scary to think about.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You got away scot-free.
		Well, there's a lot of bad stories going around about that kind of thing happening.
		I'm sure you've seen them in modern day.
unidentified		Boy.
		Right.
		And this was on a car.
		This was a 1987 car, too, and it had just recently been serviced.
		And when the guys at the shop heard about that, they took action very quickly.
		And now looking back, I think they figured out what they did wrong, and they were just hoping that I didn't realize that they knew it.
		They were very apologetic.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		They were.
unidentified		Yeah, that was pretty bad art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, Scott Free.
		Thank you very much for the call, and take care.
		Let's go out of the country.
		I know to Japan.
		It's Michelle.
unidentified		Hi.
		Hi.
		So, two things.
		First of all, I sent you an email, and I don't know if you've gotten it yet.
		I also sent it on to Keith.
		I sent it earlier today for me, so it would have been a few hours before the show started.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And why?
unidentified		Well, I saw the lights again, and this time they were bright enough that I could get a moderately decent picture.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		She's talking about Mount Fuji, right?
unidentified		Yeah.
		And also, what I did was I sent maybe three pictures of the lights.
		Two zoomed in, and then one kind of zoomed out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, bless your heart.
		You sent photographs.
		All right.
		Well, I promise I'll look for them.
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		And I also sent them, I think if I did the email right, I sent them to Keith.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		There's also a daytime shot so you can see kind of where it is in relationship to the mountain area thing.
		So look for that.
		Wow.
		And let me know what you think.
		It's wild.
		There's actually, it looks like two fireballs.
		They look like fireballs to me is the only way I can put it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, Michelle.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Got a deal.
unidentified		One faded out, and a third one came in.
unidentified		So you see two shots.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We'll do it.
		Trust me.
		Now let me, before you go, ask you about this Bush deal.
unidentified		Yeah, that was the other thing I wanted to talk about, actually.
		So great.
		Well, two things with that.
		One, first of all, I buy it just because I know enough about him and his past and his family's past that he's kind of the guy that I would believe for that kind of thing.
		I think with his sort of skull and bones kind of history and his CIA involvements, questions about the Kennedy assassination, he's not a very smooth, clean guy.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		He ran the CIA, and then he was our president.
		So if anybody would know, he would know.
		Now, this could either be a vicious internet rumor, very, very widely reported, one in which the mainstream press decided they would give him a break and not report it, in which case we'll find out about it much later, or it could be just bunk.
		You know, who knows?
unidentified		I think it doesn't matter to the mainstream press because who cares about Jeb Bush right now is their thoughts.
unidentified		I mean, they're all focused on Trump, right?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's true.
unidentified		But the funny thing about George Bush is the first time I ever called into a radio show was because of Bush Sr.
		It was right when Desert War started, Desert Storm started.
		And I was maybe seven years old, I think, and I called into a local radio station and gave my opinion on the political viewpoints.
		And the commentator said, your opinion is better than everyone else that's called in so far.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And so you've been calling talk shows ever since?
unidentified		Off and on.
unidentified		Only recently have I been doing it more, but yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, we're happy to be here for you.
unidentified		Well, thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, Michelle.
		Take care.
		She's all the way over.
		She looks at Mount Fuji every day in Japan.
		It is really special, I think, to have this international coverage.
		You never know how I appreciate it.
		We can be heard around the world, are heard around the world.
		Not everybody's able to participate.
		I mean, for example, we're listened to in Europe a lot, but it's very early, very early in the morning.
		I mean, people are just barely cranking awake, getting a little bit of coffee into their system by the time we're on.
		Let's go to Trey.
		Hello, Trey.
unidentified		Hey, Art, how you doing?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really well.
unidentified		Let me cut that off real quick.
unidentified		There we go.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		I had one sort of almost cut away with it, Lot.
		Okay.
		In high school, it was summer 99.
		We were really into X-Files and listened to your show a lot.
		And we got it in our heads that we were going to go to Fort Rucker, Alabama, and try and sneak on the base.
		Not a good idea.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Not good, no.
unidentified		Well, we brought up Pentagon and try and take pictures.
unidentified		We had seen a lot of weird things that we thought were UFOs.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, you're breaking up a little on me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You've got to be good and close to the microphone, whatever.
unidentified		I'm actually hearing that too.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		See if it works.
		No, it's not.
		I'll just call back for it.
		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
		I appreciate it.
		Having a rough time with that connection.
		Okay, let's go to our Scotfree line, the real one, and say hello.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Hi, this is Millie.
		Hi.
		And I'm calling about another automobile one.
		That was strange.
		This was back when I was a teenager.
		You know how teenagers love to cruise?
		Well, we had a car full of kids.
		Right.
		And we were cruising down the road.
		And this was daylight.
		And all of a sudden, this truck comes out from a parking lot, and he's going to make left.
		And it's a divided road.
		So it has an island in the middle.
		And he stops, and his rear end is right in our lane.
		And there's a car on our right-hand side, so we couldn't swerve over.
		I wasn't driving.
		I was in the back seat.
		There's about six of us in this car.
		And so we just, I mean, we all saw it coming.
		We knew we were going to hit that truck.
		His rear, the whole back end from the back wheel well out was sticking right in our way.
		And at first, we just, it was so quick.
		We all just kind of went dead silent.
		And we went through it, honest.
		We went through that truck.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, so this is like a Scottfree paranormal story.
unidentified		Yes, yes.
unidentified		None of us really know how we talked about it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I actually have heard these stories before.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And so I believe you, you actually went through it.
unidentified		We went through the back of that truck, and everybody was dead silent when we did it.
		And we had a bunch of guys in the car too, you know, girls and guys.
		And when it was over, once they collected themselves, they all started hanging out the window, yelling at the guys who were going down the road.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		When it happened, when you went through it, did you feel anything?
unidentified		I was scared.
		It was almost, I was actually kind of almost looking at it from above the car there for a second.
		You know, kind of like we were, I could see the road and I could, yeah, we did.
		And we were all talking about that.
		It was like, it was just so strange.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Strange indeed.
		All right, that's a paranormal Scott Free story.
		Hello there.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
		Hello.
		Hi, this is Adria.
		And I wanted to tell you about a paranormal attachment I had.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		It started when I was three.
		And it was in an old house that my family and I used to live in.
		And I don't remember how many people died in the house, but I know there was quite a few.
		And my brother and I, we were playing in the basement one day.
		And I had turned around to tell him something and saw a blue, it looked like, I just saw the left side of him.
		It looked like a skeleton wearing a cloak.
		And I freaked out and I started running up the stairs and banging on the door.
		I mean, the basement door was locked.
		And there was no way that, I mean, I was three years old.
		I was way too small.
		I couldn't reach the lock.
		My brother, you know, he was a child.
		He couldn't reach the lock.
		We didn't know how the door got locked.
		Yeah, kind of creepy.
		And then, I mean, I'm fairly sensitive, and I always felt him around me, but I never saw him.
		And on Easter, when I was seven years old, a few years later, I was at my grandmother's house, and I felt him again.
		And I was so used to it, I didn't say anything, but it was Easter, so my dad was taking a lot of pictures, and at that time, he had taken a picture of me.
		And he loaded it to his computer and blew it up, and he saw like little bubbles behind my shoulder.
		And when he zoomed in, it looked like that same face that I saw, that skeleton face.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you still have the photograph?
unidentified		I believe I do, yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Dig it up.
		Scan it.
		Send it to me.
unidentified		Oh, I will.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, we deal in that sort of thing.
unidentified		Yeah, I'll have to find it.
		But the thing about this skeleton face is that his teeth weren't like normal human teeth.
		I mean, they were they looked like it.
		They were just much larger.
		Like, much, much larger.
		When I was 15, again.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		For example, teeth that would go after a neck?
unidentified		I mean, it was just like having teeth like we do, but just 10 times bigger.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I got you.
unidentified		Yeah, yeah.
		I felt him again when I was 15, and my dad walked up the stairs, and he said that he saw it watching me.
		And I was sitting right there, and I didn't see him, so I didn't quite understand how my dad could see him, but I couldn't.
		And he asked me, he was like, hey, you know what?
		Can you describe to me again what you saw when you were younger?
		And I described it.
		Yes.
		And he said, I just saw that watching you from around the corner, but it wasn't blue.
		It was black.
		And that, I mean, from my understanding, a black figure is not good whatsoever.
		And so I asked him, you know, well, what happened when you saw him?
		And he said that he darted off into my bedroom.
		Freaky.
		And then last year, I was 21 years old and I went on a paranormal investigation.
		And there's a sensitive on the team who actually picked up on him.
		And he started freaking out and he stopped the investigation and went and talked to me outside.
		And he was like, have you ever used an Ouija board?
		And I was like, no, why?
		And he said, well, you have some kind of attachment that's here with you tonight.
		And he's very angry.
		He actually thought he was a demon because, you know, the sensitive could pick up on him.
		And he didn't like that because he wasn't used to it.
		And he came out him like Lucifer himself.
		And I thought, that's pretty scary because I've always known me, but he never did anything to harm me, you know?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, how old are you now?
unidentified		22.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		22.
		Just the right age.
		Well.
		Yeah, I know.
		I mean, usually if it's a movie and it's a good-looking young 22-year-old girl, she's about to be torn to shreds to pieces.
unidentified		Oh, well, I actually joined that paranormal group.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A jello on the floor.
unidentified		Oh, my God.
		I joined that paranormal group and talked more with the sensitive.
		And they had a medium on the team who had left that crosses spirits over.
		And I went to talk with her, and she asked me, she was like, you know, I want to do something.
		I want to talk to your soul, not your mind.
		And I gave her that permission.
		And she asked me questions.
		And we did that whole thing.
		And then she was like, okay, now I want to ask, is it okay if I have permission to talk to this attachment through you?
		And I said, yes.
		And we got some answers.
		Apparently, he knew me from a past life.
		And he said he was here to hurt me.
		But he was around since I was three years old.
		And I was 21 when we crossed him over.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, he was just waiting for the right time.
unidentified		Oh, that's true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And maybe the right time is still not yet.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Or are you here to tell me that she exorcised this demon from you, and you're now fine?
unidentified		Well, that's what we're hoping.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I see.
		Well, in the movies, that's what they always hope.
		But then at the end of most of those movies, it turns out that the exorcised demon simply moved or shifted to either somebody else or someplace else.
		And the person like yourself still ends up like, well, Jell-O.
unidentified		Well, thanks.
unidentified		I feel good now.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I did what I could to help.
unidentified		And sleep well.
unidentified		Thanks, all right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, all that JC2.
		Well, okay.
		That's it for tonight.
		I hope everybody out there across all the time zones has a great weekend.
		I am looking forward to a no-drama-type weekend this weekend.
		I'm just going to relax, and I suggest you all do the same.
