art bell ▲ ● ▼		Midnight in the desert.
unidentified		I'm our belly.
unidentified		And yes, it is.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, it's sobby, soggy, soggy, sobby.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Rainstorms.
unidentified		I can look at the radars all over the place.
unidentified		Who knows what's going to happen tonight?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, the rules of the game are simple.
unidentified		I have two of them.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No bad language.
		We don't need that.
		And by the way, hell and damn are not bad language.
unidentified		They're just expressions of, well, expressions.
unidentified		Depending on how they're used.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Somebody said that to me.
unidentified		They'd say, oh, you know what bad language you use at Hell and Dam, are you?
unidentified		Every now and then.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Only one call per show.
unidentified		That is the other rule.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And again, I'm considering what to call Halloween.
		Don't forget, I am looking for people to email me their ghost stories.
		And remember, when you email me your ghost story, email me your phone number where I can reach you at showtime.
		If you tell a really good ghost story, you've got a really good one.
		You know, something that'll grab you and twist you a little bit like that.
		Then email it to me along with your phone number and maybe I'll call you.
		Not that I have that many opportunities really to call anybody during a show, but we might call it Midfright in the Night.
		Midfright in the Desert?
		Midfright in the Desert.
		Maybe that.
		I don't know.
		I'm still thinking about it.
		But send me the ghost stories, Art Bell at K-N-Y-E dot com.
		Let me give it back to you again.
		I don't think too many people have it.
		It's Art Bell, A-R-T-B-E-L-L, at K-N-Y-E, kilowatt Nancy, Yokohama Easy, K-N-Y-E dot com.
		Well, it's been a hell of a week, huh?
		Really serious, there I used it.
		You know, serious stories.
		The star that has serious scientists talking about alien megastructures, that's a story that you just get once in a talk radio lifetime.
		It really is.
		And we can talk about that tonight.
		You can talk about it.
		You're welcome to talk about what you think it means.
		In fact, I'm sure we'll talk about it because it's open lines tonight.
		Anything you want to talk about is absolutely fair game.
		I am going to open up a special line.
		Prepare yourselves.
		Tonight, a special line for people who possess a superpower.
		Do you possess a superpower?
		It could be anything.
		It could be x-ray vision, my personal choice.
		Or it could be invisibility, or it could be the ability to time jump, or it could be the ability to be invisible.
		It could be a million different things.
		And I have the opinion, well, no, I really have the opinion that there are people out there with these powers.
		Now, obviously, they wouldn't advertise it.
		I mean, if you had X-ray vision, for example, would you advertise that?
unidentified		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		People would recoil.
		And we were actually discussing at dinner tonight X-ray vision.
		And my wife observed that it really wouldn't be that cool if you saw everybody as nothing but a bag of bones.
		And she has a point.
		In other words, if you look clear through the skin and like x-ray elsewhere, it was only good for the solid stuff like bones.
		You would see nothing but a bag of bones everywhere, right?
		So it's got to be sort of specialized x-ray vision, you know, like the government has.
		Like you have to walk through at the airport.
		They can actually see you nude, you know.
		All right, I would like to welcome, before we even begin, a new station, WECK, in Buffalo, New York.
		Welcome to the program.
		Buffalo, yay, Buffalo.
		I have been to Buffalo, and it's a snowy town.
		I actually, if you ever have an opportunity to do this, ladies and gentlemen, do it.
		Trust me on this.
		I landed in Vancouver, and I took the Canadian National Railway all the way across to the Canadian side of Buffalo.
		The Canadian side of Buffalo.
		Anyway, it was about the coolest trip a human being could make.
		It went through the Canadian Rockies, and it was absolutely awesome.
		I mean, a long train trip is fun anyway, but that was awesome.
		Really awesome.
		Up through the Rockies.
		Oh, can't even begin to tell you.
		A trip of a lifetime.
		It's worth doing, not because you have to go anywhere, just because it is so cool.
		Okay, so again, open lines.
		Anything goes, okay?
		Anything.
		Doesn't matter.
		I just want to have fun tonight.
		You know, we're serious all week long.
		I have guests.
		And then Friday night, we let loose, and anything goes.
		Anything you want to talk about is fair game.
		But I do reserve one special line for superpowers.
		If you have a superpower, really, and you can describe it to us And make us believe.
		It is one, and then area code 575-208-7787.
		Let me repeat that superpower line only: Area code 575-208-7787.
		And of course, I do have a first-time caller line, which is Area Code 775-285-5800.
		Again, first-time callers to the show, 775-285-5800.
		Might as well give the whole speech.
		Our public line is available for all of you, and that is Area Code 952-225-5278.
		Let me give that to you again.
		Anybody can call that for any reason, literally on an open lines night.
		Dial one, and then area code 952-225-5278.
		Now, if you want to sound commanding and good, you can call in on Skype.
		This is the full boogie description tonight.
		If you have a phone, an iPhone or Android or whatever it is, you've got pad, whatever, you download Skype.
		It's free, right?
		You go to your store, whatever, and Skype.
		It's free.
		And once you get Skype installed, then install us.
		And you do that by going to add a contact.
		And at that point, you enter, if you're in North America, Canada, America, MITD51.
		That's, as in Midnight in the Desert, M-I-T-D.
		Just the letters, M-I-T-D-5-1.
		And then we'll be in your contact list, and you can punch us up and dial us instantly and sound really, really good if you're on a phone.
		Don't use speakerphones.
		That is a big no-no.
		Also, remember to turn down your device prior to speaking on the air.
		Once you can hear my voice, or music or whatever, then you'll know you're going to get on.
		So hang on.
		Don't hang up.
		And if you can't get through, keep trying.
	If at first you don't succeed, dial again.
	Now, the same goes for international callers.
	Anybody outside the U.S. and Canada can call us at MITD55.
	So in Skype, you put in MITD55.
	All right, a little bit of news, and that's all there is, a little bit of news.
	As you know, by my reference to sogginess at the beginning of the program, it's been pretty darn bad in places out west here, up to six feet deep.
	Mud.
	Can you imagine that mud up and in cars, roiling rivers of mud, going into homes, causing terrible problems, closing I-5?
	Oh, it's a mess.
	And they say this year is going to be a real mess, you know, all year long.
	El Niño is a common, and I guess this is just sort of a, I don't know, a little preview.
	Turkey appears to have shot down a drone that flew into its airspace on Friday.
	Now they have every right to shoot the thing down.
unidentified		But nobody admits to owning it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We say it's not ours.
		And it didn't really look like one of ours, to be honest.
		The Russians say, nope, not theirs.
		I wonder if it could be an Iranian knockoff.
		Anyway, it's shot down, and it's a mess.
		From the Anomalous, Anomalist, rather, com the Browns of Missouri claim their house across the street from one of the oldest cemeteries in the entire state is full of restless spirits, and they've got the creepy evidence to prove it, kind of.
		They've dug up so many strange artifacts, including medical tools, human bones, that their cellar has become a virtual museum.
		Not surprisingly, then, we hear their ghostly visitors are not willing to leave.
		They'd be fun to interview, wouldn't they?
		And then The Anomalous, for some reason, has a story about somebody who claims they were kidnapped by reptilian aliens and taken to the moon for sex.
		That's right.
		Not just once, but repeatedly taken to the moon for sex.
		And you have to wonder, as they do, why the reptilians could not manage a more efficient way to conduct their nefarious, awful business than to pick somebody up and take them all the way to the moon for sex.
		I know all the old lines about, I love you like the moon, the stars, so forth and so on.
		And by the way, she is a former U.S. Air Force radar tracker that claims this.
		Raped again and again by the reptilians on the moon.
		And then brought back to Earth.
		Got a figure.
		If you follow me at ArtBell51, that's my Twitter address.
		If you follow me there, if you don't follow me, why don't you follow me?
		Because if I put Periscope up later in the show, if I get in a really good mood and I put up Periscope, you will then have the chance to watch the back of my head as I do the talk show.
		It's excitement.
		You can't meet for a Friday night, let me tell you.
		Art Bell51.
		That's me at Twitter.
		Follow away.
		I will not jam up your phone with useless stuff.
		Regarding the chilling message that I played last night, remember that?
		The coded message?
		It was chilling, too.
		I said it came from a SAC frequency, and sure enough, it did.
		I got this anonymous response today from somebody who obviously knows what it was.
		And it reads, Dear Art, very nice EAM or emergency action message you played for us last night.
		If it had been an actual emergency, we would not have seen the sun today nor drank coffee above ground.
		The EAMs are uncommon, but other instances have been recorded that follow the same format as the ones you played.
		The phone tones at the end, number, sign, and nine were unique.
		EAMs best received, upper sideband, 40, 4.724 megahertz, 6.739 megahertz, 8.992 megahertz, and 11.175 megahertz.
		That's where we got that one, or that's where somebody on Reddit got that one.
		Boy, it is chilling to listen to, too.
		I mean, if it was the real thing, you know, all-out nuclear whatever, that's the kind of thing that you would hear just exactly like that.
		So we caught a pretty rare one, actually.
		All right, so that's kind of the story for tonight.
		Again, all the phone lines are now full.
		Everything is going full-tilt boogie already, so I have no idea what awaits.
		But on open line nights, I just try to have fun.
		So anything you've got that's good, you're going to want to phone in.
		You've got the numbers, so let's rock, shall we?
		Friday night, open lines, anything goes, bring it on.
		I think I'm ready.
		I'm Art Bell, and this is Midnight in the Desert.
unidentified		Midnight in the Desert.
		Happy Bell!
		Taking you from today into tomorrow, this is Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell.
		To call the show, dial 1-952-Call Art.
		That's 1-952-225-5278.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is cool.
		I mean, when we're on the air here, it is always midnight somewhere in the nation.
		It is sweeping across the nation.
		So every minute we're on the air, it's turning midnight somewhere, perhaps somewhere near you.
		With that in mind, it's open lines.
		Anything goes, let's rock, shall we?
		How about Lake Charles, Louisiana?
unidentified		I. Hey, Art, this is Michael.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hey, Michael.
unidentified		How are you tonight?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I am Will.
unidentified		Well, we had a long week here, and I got to didn't get to listen a whole lot during the week, but I caught up with you during the day, every day at work.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, so you know about the possible alien megastructures out there?
unidentified		I know about them.
unidentified		I don't know how much work I got accomplished this week, but got a lot of your show to listen to.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		I wanted to tell you, I've been listening to you back since, oh, high school, and I barely made it through high school because I was up all night listening to you till 6 in the morning.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So, in other words, I had virtually or very nearly ruined your entire education.
unidentified		Very nearly, but now there's something different.
		Yes.
		Now I'm married.
		Really?
		And my wife.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't want to mess with that.
unidentified		Well, she's made the comment, I guess I've got another man in the bed with us.
		So I called Bob's brain and said I needed some help.
		I got a little pillow speaker.
		And over the course of the weeks now, I catch her leaning over to my pillow, listening to you.
		So you're gaining another fan.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So I'm actually bringing you closer.
unidentified		You're bringing us books, Shanoa.
		It's starting to enjoy you.
		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, thank you very much for that.
		It's good to know that I've done something good this week.
		Thanks.
unidentified		Yes, sir.
unidentified		Have a good night.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		See you later, buddy.
		Now, that's a new one.
		You know, what Bob really should do is he should get that audio.
		I think he's on his way to China or something.
		But he should actually get that audio.
		What a great commercial, right?
		He bought a pillow speaker.
		They are great, incidentally.
		Bringing them closer together.
		Corey, hello there.
		I'm Skype.
unidentified		Hi, Arnie.
unidentified		How are you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm fine.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're pretty loud.
unidentified		There you go.
unidentified		Is this better?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is, yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
unidentified		I remember many years ago you had a pilot that was flying over Area 51 that was live on your show, and all of a sudden the pilot cut out.
		Do you remember or did you hear anything about that?
		What happened to that pilot?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I presume he's dead.
		I mean, what would you think would happen if you fly an airplane into areas where they kill you just for walking past a sign?
		You're going to be dead.
unidentified		Do you remember the call I was talking about?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, just flying an airplane into Area 51.
		Very foolish.
		He was talking about rail guns and stuff like that pointed at him.
		Sure, I remember.
unidentified		I was just curious what happened to him.
unidentified		That's all I had to call about.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, well, dead or doornail is what I'd say.
unidentified		I already have good name.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But, you know, I don't know, so it's the best I can do.
		You know, there are some things I cannot know.
		And what becomes of some people who call and then get disconnected with prejudice, I have no way of knowing.
		Let's go to the next call.
		You're on the air.
		Hi, it's midnight.
unidentified		Howdy, it's Mark Diam Shark out of Aurora, Colorado.
		How you doing, Mr. Thank you, buddy?
		Hey, congratulations for getting them back on the air.
		All we're so happy to have you here in Denver, KLZ, and Kilawa, Nancy, Yokohama, Easy.
		I dig that, Mr. Art Bell.
		You are very good, sir.
		Thanks for that.
		And the guy who, yeah, as long as he keeps you on the other side of the pillow, I'd hate to have you come between him and his wife.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I was feeling the same way.
		I mean, I had already just about destroyed his education, his marriage life.
		Thanks a little much.
unidentified		Well, let's hope, you know what?
		If nothing else, you're getting him on the right wavelength, and everything will work out just groovy.
		But anyway, further kudos there on your re-emergent, and you're doing everything just right.
		I can tell you are the shrewd master of the radio, and you're scooping your competition left and right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, again, tell everybody what station you're listening to, please.
unidentified		KLZ, Denver, Colorado.
		It's the second oldest station here in Denver.
		One of the very oldest in the country.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's a way to do it.
		In fact, people listening on stations, I should say this, should promo them when they get on the air.
		So you've done a good job.
unidentified		Oh, you're welcome, sir.
		And hey, Mel, I am all over the map, boy.
		You want to talk about near-death experiences, ghosts, UFOs?
		I've encountered all kinds of things.
		I almost wanted to call into your super natural line, but I don't have any rebook, boy.
		I'm hooked in weird psychically all over the place.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, hold up.
		If you're psychically adept, then I want you to reach out and tell me what the strange megastructures are that we're all talking about.
		And by the way, that story finally hit CNN today.
		Finally.
unidentified		Oh, it's a wonderful time.
		Scary time to be alive, but what a wonderful time that everyone, this mass awakening, and you are so much helping.
		And that was the reason for my call.
		Dr. Greer the other night.
		Oh, my goodness, Art.
		You talk about work production dropping and people staying up.
		That was a massive transmission, sir.
		That needs to get...
		A wonderful thing, sir.
		And I had to craft my own theology because I am a very basically at-the-core Christian type man.
		But as I awakened over the years with your help, sir, over the decades past, it's easy to see there are bigger powers that are working here and other alternate.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you're not suggesting that I've ruined your religion.
unidentified		No, because I had already crafted my alternate religion.
		I can very much see, though, why they had to keep this under wraps, both as Dr. Greer said, for reasons that the New World Order cannot stand to have people.
		See, they're cashing in profitably by our ignorance, but also they want to manage our ignorance.
		Boy, once we bust through this thing, and I think we might with it.
		Here's what I'm going to say there, Art to not dodge your question anymore.
		I believe that in my hackneyed Denver Cowtown theocracy that I had to invent in the meantime, and now it's lining up, that all this stuff plays out.
		I think they're competing ETs slash gods and spiritualities.
		I think all we have to do is keep it simple.
		I'm on the positive God-love side, and I'm, again, the devil-negative side.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, well, don't start praying to the megastructures.
		That's all I ask.
		Stay centered.
		Let's go.
		Let's go to the superpower line.
		Hello there.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		They are.
unidentified		How are you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm doing okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you really, sir, have a superpower?
unidentified		What is the definition of a superpower?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I gave sort of a loose definition.
unidentified		Well, I don't fly through the sky and I can't, you know, I can't hit the concrete.
		What can you do?
		This goes out to the DM talk hashtag is I'm the gestalt.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's just a shout-out, man.
		Come on.
		If you don't have a superpower, I'm going to eject you like yesterday's mail.
unidentified		No, well, okay.
		Let me tell you something.
		Well.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Gone.
unidentified		Gone, gone, gone.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Who's laughing?
		Somebody on Skype is laughing.
		That's you, Brad, laughing, isn't it?
unidentified		Pardon me, Mark.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Mark, that was you laughing?
		Okay.
		Mark, where are you?
unidentified		I'm in Bern, Switzerland.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, at least you've got a sense of humor.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And I take it that when you got on that plane last time, you did not crack any windshields, flatten any tires, stop any engine rotation.
unidentified		Right?
		No, they actually had a technical problem, and we had to wait for a new plane.
		So I decided not to take the risk.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That was a little pre-concentration.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		But Art, did you see the news this week?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Did I see that?
unidentified		Playboy news this week.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm going to have to take a break, but what news?
unidentified		Playboy Magazine has removed all the naked women photos.
unidentified		I heard that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I did.
unidentified		There's a consequence of that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, in sales, you mean?
unidentified		No.
unidentified		For the first time in history, men will finally be able to read Playboy while holding the magazine with both hands.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I did hit it with sales.
		Right?
		If you want to hold on, I'll come back to you after the break.
		This is Midnight Desert.
unidentified		Midnight Desert.
		Want to take a ride?
		Your conductor, Art Bell, will punch your ticket when you call 1-952.
		Call Art.
		That's 1-952-225-5278.
		That's right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We're looking for people tonight with superpowers.
unidentified		That's right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Any kind of superpower, I don't really need to define it, do I?
		If you can push somebody to do something with your mind, that is a superpower.
		If you can read other minds, that is a superpower.
		If you can disappear and become invisible at will, that's really a superpower.
		If you have X-ray vision, I wish to question you in depth.
		Now, with regard to the Playboy comment, I knew about that, and I must say, I think they're out of their minds.
		Really they are.
		Playboy has always displayed naked women in a very tasteful way.
		You know, not like the others.
		Some of that stuff is just gross.
		But Playboy has, I don't know, it's like, if you'll excuse the expression, fine art.
		Beautiful women, to me, are part of the beauty of the world and a very important part of the beauty of the world.
		And so I think for them to retreat from that is a mistake on many levels.
		But just on that one level alone, that's my comment.
		And if we have come to the point in the world where it is politically incorrect to say, then I'm ready to leave the world.
		Beautiful women are just a part of the world that, and if they're displayed tastefully, not in some wrong way, salicious way, I don't know.
		A beautiful woman is a thing of beauty.
		It's part of our world, and I hope it never becomes politically incorrect to either discuss or to observe.
		And I guess that's all I'm going to say about that.
		But I do feel strongly about it, and I bet you that Playboy sales take a big dive.
		I could be wrong.
		I could be wrong.
		We'll see.
		But I think it's like some new form of Coke, E. cola.
		Anyway, where was I?
		In Bern, Switzerland with Mark.
		Hey, Mark.
unidentified		Yeah, hi, Art.
unidentified		I had another comment, which is about you mentioned taking a long ride on a Canadian train.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yes.
unidentified		But do you know that by definition, every ride on Amtrak is a long ride because the train goes so slow.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
		Well, this was the Canadian National Railway, and trust me, the scenery was so beautiful that you didn't care about the speed.
		Right.
unidentified		Right.
unidentified		And also, going back last week, I really did take your advice, and I did not summon the aliens on the flight to Birmingham.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		While that's a good thing, you still, I think, screwed up, and that accounts for the delay, the mechanical trouble, whatever it was with your plane.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You did it subconsciously while you were sitting there.
unidentified		Thank you, Art.
unidentified		I wish you a great night.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Good night, Mark, and take good care there in Switzerland.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Great to hear from you.
unidentified		That's right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		If you're out of the country, we're MITD55 on Skype, right?
		M-I-T-D-55.
		Brad on Skype, you're on the air.
		Hi.
unidentified		Good evening, Art.
unidentified		It's a pleasure to speak with you again.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And to have you here it is as well.
unidentified		I want to discuss number stations with you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let's rock.
unidentified		Let's rock it.
		First, a couple of little notes.
		Two more frequencies for those that monitor the U.S. Air Force system.
		That's 15 decimal 016 and 13 decimal 200.
		So you can add that to your list.
		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Got it?
unidentified		The transmission that you played last night and the other night, and that was causing all the uproar, the call signs are usually computer generated.
unidentified		There's a huge list of them, even bigger than weather channels.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, let me add this for you, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Back in the Cold War days, when the Soviet Union began its collapse, that's when they started using collapse.
unidentified		I know.
unidentified		I was a communications intercept operator for the Navy at the time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's just, you know, it's chilling to hear.
		And those are not all that common.
		So pretty interesting stuff, actually.
unidentified		It was pretty interesting.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And if you ever hear any, if you're ever listening to shortwave and you hear one for real.
unidentified		Oh, I've heard ones that are almost for real.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Almost.
unidentified		Let me give you an example.
		The run-up to the first Kuwaiti bombings, our first, you know, we're going into Kuwaiti, into Kuwait City and flatten everything to get all the Iraqis out.
		That's right.
		If you hear those EAMs, you'll hear them, they'll give six characters, repeat that.
		That's the message preamble.
		And then that is included with the rest of the message when they send the text.
		If you hear just those six, and if you hear a lot of them, there is some imminent action coming.
		Also, if you hear The six-character preamble and then a long string of characters.
		It can go into the hundreds.
		I've heard up to three and four hundred in my monitoring experience, and I've followed this stuff for 30 years.
		And if you hear a bunch of those come across, there is imminent action coming.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's a pretty freaky hobby.
		That's all I've got to say.
		Thank you very much for the call, Brad.
		It is a freaky hobby.
		It is just chilling to hear those.
		And, of course, you know, the right combination of them could mean the missiles are on the way.
		It could mean the B-52s are leaving the runway at about 11 seconds behind one another.
		Not something you ever want to hear, frankly.
		Let's go to the phones.
		Oh, oh, oh, oh, look, we have a superpower person, perhaps.
		Hello there.
		Do you have a superpower?
unidentified		How's it going, Art?
		This is Kingslayer, former Dark Matter News writer.
		Uh-huh.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's all fine and well, but do you have a superpower?
unidentified		Yes, I believe I do.
unidentified		I actually believe that I possess a superhuman ability to write music, and that is probably a little on the fringe of superpowers, but...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So far on the fringe that you're getting booted.
unidentified		Oh.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, thank you.
		But look here.
		These lines have meaning.
		If you don't have a superpower, do not call that number.
		And you can't sneak your way into it.
		And that's what he was trying to do.
		I'm not going to allow it.
		There are rules.
		This is one of them.
		Do not call that number.
		Area code 575-208-7787 unless you have a superpower of some kind.
		I'm going to give it again.
		If you have a superpower, and only if you have a superpower, would you call Area Code 575-208-7787.
		Anybody else, you know, you better do your talking when you get on the line.
		First time callers, area code 775-285-5800.
		That means if you have never called the show before, you're eligible to call that line once.
		So make it good.
		Area code 775-285-5800.
		Okay, let's go to, I don't know, Kirkwood something or another.
		Hello there.
unidentified		Hello, this is actually it's Chuck from Ferguson, Missouri.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		It says Kirkwood.
		Those strange caller ID things.
		I'm actually in Ferguson.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		People can actually put anything on their caller ID they want.
		Anyway, welcome.
unidentified		Yeah, can I give a shout-out first to a chat room before my topic?
		You may.
		I'd like to say hello to everyone in the Social E-Net IRC Art Bell chat.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I didn't even know there was such a thing.
unidentified		Yep.
		Wow.
		Been around as long as you've been almost as the show has.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Holy moly.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, welcome indeed, and hello to the group.
unidentified		Hi, I'd like to wonder if you heard about this situation at the West Lake landfill in Bridgeston, Missouri.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Are you referring to the fire that's making its way toward nuclear junk?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I'm afraid I have.
		In fact, I've got a story on it here.
		Let me see.
		It's pretty serious stuff.
		The landfill there has nuclear stuff in it, not good nuclear stuff, Cold War era stuff, nuclear waste.
		And it is now separated from an underground fire by 1,200 feet.
unidentified		Yeah, and according to the latest estimates, it's about 1,000 feet or 300 meters.
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		If it gets to the nuclear stuff, well.
unidentified		Yeah, I was wondering if you're going to be doing a show on it anytime soon.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know, obviously I knew about it.
		I've got the story sitting here, so I'm aware of it.
		But, you know, I don't really want to scare the hell out of people.
		And I think they're watching it very carefully.
		And I think the fire is not so much getting closer.
		It is a gigantic underground fire.
		But, I mean, you're right, Color.
		It's a frightening situation.
		I just, you know, if it starts moving, if it starts getting close, I'll be all over it.
		I just don't want to scare people.
unidentified		Yeah, they said this could be time speech times 100.
		Yeah.
		I know.
		Well, just one of the, oh, one thing before I go.
		I was one of the last callers to your prediction program on Celestial Radio.
		Yes.
		I made a prediction about zombies.
		I'm not sure if you remember.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Did it relate to like a TV series?
unidentified		No, it was one of your New Year's prediction shows, one of your last ones.
		What was it, actually?
		Zombie Apocalypse.
		No, I meant what was the specific prediction?
		That there would be a zombie apocalypse in 2006, one of your last ones.
		that on the air.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, other than the series, I think it's...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I do.
unidentified		I do.
		Yes, I do.
		All right, well, thank you for taking my call.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Very welcome.
		I have no idea why we remember these things, but I remember that, sure.
		What do you think it would be like if there was actually a zombie apocalypse?
		If the dead began rising in various forms of decay, as always depicted, some of it really serious decay.
		We all know what you have to do, right?
		It has to be a headshot And it has to be quick.
		Let's go to Albuquerque, New Mexico on the special powers line, and this one better be real.
unidentified		Hey, Art, this is Steve from Albuquerque, KIVA.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hey, Steve, how are you doing?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And thank you for promoting your affiliate there.
unidentified		Well, you're most welcome.
		Hey, the reason for my call, I do have a superpower.
		I've had it since I was a little boy.
		And basically, I can hear people up to 500 feet away.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Seriously.
unidentified		Yeah, and actually, it was kind of a curse when I was little because I had a lot of problems with all these different sounds that came into my brain.
unidentified		And for a while, they thought I was like developmentally tempered or whatever.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I understand.
		Here's my question.
		Can I ask a couple?
unidentified		Oh, sure.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, so we all know that people can't hear normal conversation 500 feet away.
		So obviously, if you have that power, then it's not just auditory, I don't think.
		In other words, you don't have much increased hearing at some point.
		You've got to be mentally receiving what they're saying as opposed to your ear or ears.
unidentified		Well, actually, I think I infer what they're saying, but believe it or not, I can actually hear people.
		And there have been situations where it's worked to my benefit.
		I'm in sales.
		And what's so crazy about this is that it took years to basically tune my ear.
		So what happens is that I didn't have this wall of white noise that was giving me headaches and causing all kinds of mental confusion.
		And I finally learned how to listen.
		And I could basically focus on people that were nearby and stuff.
		But then, as I got into sales and I got older, one time I was at this convention, and I was actually listening to some people that were, well, don't say anything, competitors of mine.
		And they were like 150 feet away.
		And I kind of learned some things about, well, anyhow, but it's been, so it really is a special power, but it's also a little bit of a special liability.
		And it's taken a long time to kind of control it.
		I mean, I wish I could read people's minds, but if you can hear most of what they're saying at a distance that's a long ways away, then you can start to sort of know what they're saying.
		As far as reading their minds, I don't think I can do that, but it's kind of a curse, but also a benefit just to be able to listen.
		It's kind of a strange thing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, when you say that you can hear them 500 feet away, is that in a normal conversational level of voice?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
		In a lot of ways, that must be horrible.
		What happens to you when you're near crowds?
unidentified		Well, what you finally have to learn to do is you keep practicing at it and you can kind of focus on the conversations that are nearby.
		And actually, what most people don't know is that they're doing that anyhow.
		Most people, if a person walks in a mall, for example, they're actually hearing thousands of different sounds.
		It's true.
		And what the brain does is that the brain learns how to filter just the stuff that it thinks is relevant, like in a shopping mall or the person you're listening to.
		And that's how it works.
		So in a way, the only difference between me and other people is it took my brain longer to figure out how to do that.
		And then once I figured out how to do it, I was able to kind of switch it back where I could kind of undo it in some situations.
		But it's been kind of a curse, good thing most of my life.
		But as I've gotten older, it's actually not quite as strong as it used to be.
		Maybe just because my hearing is not so good as you get older, but still, that's the way it is.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, that is, okay, definitely qualifies, thank you, as a superpower.
		Can you imagine that?
		Able to hear normal conversation 500 feet away.
		And as he points out, it would be a blessing and definitely a curse.
		You would hear far more than you want to hear.
		But as he also pointed out, the brain can be sort of adjusted to filter that.
		Let's go to our first-time caller line, way back to the East Coast, I think.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hey, Art.
unidentified		This has been in Pennsylvania.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How you doing?
unidentified		Really well.
		It's good to talk to you.
		Good to talk to you.
		Are you familiar with the term technology singularity?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Technology singularity?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I'm certainly familiar with singularity, technological singularity, not so much.
unidentified		So the idea is that at some point our technology is going to get to the level that it will be able to go back and improve itself.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I think there's a distinct possibility, sir, that eventually we will become a machine.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In other words, this planet will be taken over by machines.
unidentified		Right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And that would kind of be a singularity for them.
unidentified		Yeah, that's what some people fear.
unidentified		Anyway, I was thinking it would be great to have somebody come on and talk about that at some point.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You mean literally that we all...
		Thank you very much for the call, and I'll consider it.
		How might that occur?
		How might our society devolve or depending on your point of view, I guess, evolve into a technological singularity?
		For all I know, we're not all that far away from it right now.
		The smartest person I know is Google.
		And I use her all the time.
		You notice I give it the feminine reference.
		Google is awesome.
		What is there that you can ask Google that she cannot answer?
		Nothing.
		She knows it all.
		Virtually knows it all.
		I think it's cool.
		I love Google.
		Whatever it is, I turn to Google.
		Sounds like an ad, doesn't it?
		I'm Mark Bell.
		This is Midnight in the Desert, and yeah, I like this song.
unidentified		Want to take a ride?
		Exclusively on the Dark Matter Digital Network.
		This is Midnight in the Desert.
		With your host, Art Bell, the call Art.
		Please, 1952-225-5278.
		That's 1952.
		Call Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's it.
		The superpower line is Area Code 575-208-7787.
		First-time callers only at Area Code 775-285-5800.
		And, well, all right, let's go to the first-time caller line.
		I like first-time callers.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Hey, is this me?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is you.
unidentified		All right, I've been listening to you since late 1997.
unidentified		I love you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
unidentified		Be my superpower.
		I can read minds.
		Check this out.
		Pick a number between 1 and 10.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Got it?
unidentified		What is it?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm not going to tell you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You tell me.
unidentified		No, it's a trick.
		Yeah, no, it's part of it.
		It's not a trick.
		It's part of the thing.
		It's just the first part of the trick.
		What is it?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Seven.
unidentified		Ah, see, I knew that's what it was.
		Here, I'm going to do it again.
		All right, pick another one.
		You ready?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm not going for something this lame twice.
unidentified		It's four.
		It's four.
		You throw it a four.
		No, yeah, that's what it is.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's it?
		Yeah, I don't know.
		Very pathetic.
		Especially for a first-time caller.
		Pathetic.
		Let's see.
		Let's go to superpower line.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Is it me?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And the only reason you could be calling this line is because you possess a superpower.
unidentified		Yes, I do possess a superpower.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And that is?
unidentified		I can see.
		I consider it that they're aliens, and I can see them, but they're in a human form.
		And I haven't always been able to do this.
		I'm 50 years old, and approximately two years ago, I got into an accident.
		I was rear-ended on a freeway, and it was a pretty bad accident.
		And then after that, I was doing rehabilitation, and ultimately I had to change my diet.
		I mean, there was a lot of things going on and, you know, changes in me physically and mentally.
		And at first I thought the first time it happened, which was I seen somebody, I was in Starbucks, and from across the store, like they were on the other end of the store.
		And we made eye contact, and they kept staring at me.
		And I just knew, at first I just thought it was a bad, I got a sense that it was a bad person.
		You know, like, I'm not going to say, oh, it was an evil person or something like that, but I got a sense that it was somebody that was bad.
		But I let it, you know, it wasn't like it was just a feeling it happened.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How have you concluded that what you're seeing are aliens?
unidentified		Well, that was the first time that I, you know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, I understand.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		First alien.
unidentified		Right.
		So since then, it's become more, I don't know how to say it.
		It's like it's real obvious.
		It's obvious now.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I see.
unidentified		When I see somebody, and there's different.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let me stop you and ask.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How do you know they're aliens?
unidentified		Again, it's like it's just like seeing them.
		I can't tell you, I could tell you, hey, they're not, they don't look human, but I can't say, oh, they're great.
		It's like a there's like a connection that it's a, it's now it becomes a feeling, you know, like a sensation communicating with me saying, you know, and a lot of times it's not like the communication is going, hey, let's be fine.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Have you ever had any support for what you're saying?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In other words, have you ever talked to somebody and had them admit they're from Zeta Reticuli or some such or, you know, in some way verify that what you're thinking you're seeing is really what you're seeing?
unidentified		I there was.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You weren't ready for that one, were you?
unidentified		Well, no, like you're saying, did I ever, I'm thinking you're asking me, did I ever confront somebody on it?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, no, I'm not asking that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm asking, have you ever had any verification that what you're seeing really is what you're seeing, say you're seeing aliens?
unidentified		Yeah, I can't say that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		All right.
		Well, thank you for the call.
		See, anybody who is prepared to come on the air here and say, I see aliens, Art, has got to be prepared to say how they know they see aliens, how they know they're aliens.
		You would not have developed a talent like this over many, many years after a physical accident.
		I mean, whiplash does not transfer your vision to...
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
		Hello, Thomas in Georgia.
		Hey, Thomas.
		Hey, bud.
		I'm actually a first-time caller, but I didn't know the number, so I called this number here.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I'm going to have to cut you off then.
		I'm kidding.
		I'm kidding.
		I'm kidding, Thomas.
unidentified		Go ahead.
		All right, well, I've just actually started listening to you, thanks to my brother, and I'm remembering out and everything and joining the archives.
		But I got a quick pre-incognition story for you, if you don't mind.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't mind.
unidentified		All right, well, this happens every once in a while, but this time is the strongest.
		It was probably about five or six years ago.
		I just woke up, and you know, every time you wake up and you have a simple dream, you know, you're sitting there running through the dream in your mind.
		Well, it was just a simple dream, you know, and I didn't think nothing of it.
		I get up, I put on my clothes, I'm headed to the convenience store just to buy some, you know, small things or whatever.
		As soon as I take a right down the road, I start noticing that the dream is beginning to play out.
		By the time that I'm about to take a right in the gas station, I knew 100% because it is literally doing the exact thing that I just dreamed about.
		When I pull in, I look over to my left, and I remember seeing a white truck there in my dream.
		There's a white truck, and a guy gets out and walks to me, and I already knew what he was going to ask me.
		He was going to try to sell me some drugs.
		And I rolled down the window and say, no, thank you, man.
		And he said, how the heck do you know what I'm about to ask you?
		And I said, I ain't interested.
		And it's just boggles my mind ever since that's happened.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Has it only happened once or is it recurring?
unidentified		Only to that extent.
		I have just tiny small things, like I have deja vu all the damn time.
		Excuse my language, but all the damn time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's all right.
		Deja vu, though, is kind of a normal sensation.
		A precognitive, exact precognitive dream is something else altogether.
		That's pretty cool.
unidentified		Yeah, and I've had small things happen during the day, like I'll see an object sitting somewhere, and then real quick it hit me.
unidentified		I saw that in my dream.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		Small stuff like that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, got it.
		Good stuff, actually.
		And off a regular line at that.
		Not even the special powers line.
		Precognitive dreams are pretty neat if you can have them again and again.
		Or would it be neat?
		You know, most of these things that we say would be cool might not be cool in real life.
		Like the guy with the enhanced hearing.
		It would be good, but it would also be a horrible burden.
		Let's go to Skype and Mikhail.
		Is that correct?
		Hello on Skype.
		Mikhail?
		Michael?
		Hello?
		Hello.
		Boy, I'll tell you, I almost left the line waiting for you.
unidentified		Oh, I'm sorry.
unidentified		I think it was the mute button.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I see.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Don't have the mute button on when you call me.
unidentified		Right.
unidentified		Sorry.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's all right.
unidentified		So I think that the megastructure thing is kind of obvious.
		Okay.
		And you even alluded to it when you had the caller with the technological singularity.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		That part one of my theory is that whatever, whoever built the megastructures is extremely advanced, far beyond where we are.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I would say.
unidentified		And even where we are, we can see now as we are advancing in our abilities to increase technologically, that it's not too far-flung to believe that it's possible that the computers will eventually become self-aware.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I so agree with you, sir.
unidentified		And that's about the time, perhaps, that we begin to connect with computers, or computers become part of us, or we become part of them.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I wonder how that'll happen.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, do you think this is something that people will volunteer for because they oh, well, they can have such a good experience?
unidentified		Well, you know, I don't think that it's going to be that kind of a choice.
		The fact is, is that these things kind of creep up on us.
		You know, when the telephone was invented, all kinds of theorists said that we were going to lose touch with each other socially.
		And that was a big danger.
		And now it's happening.
		Everyone's saying that about social media.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But it's true, sir.
		It is happening.
		I mean, look at even me.
		I'm on my phone all the time.
unidentified		Well, and that's true.
unidentified		And so all of a sudden, the phone and you are almost becoming interdependent, aren't you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, that's right.
unidentified		So my point is, as we project in our culture forward into the future, we can see how we will become more involved technologically, and the computers, in fact, will become as evolving along with us.
unidentified		Whatever the end point is, there's one thing that will become absolutely critical to an advanced society, and that is energy.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, here's what I'll say.
		And anybody can come along and add to this or subtract from it if you want.
		And the wrongness of what I'm about to say.
		Oh, gee, I have an attachment to my phone.
		I don't want to say I love.
		Well, I do kind of love my phone.
		It's not that kind of love, you know, but it is.
		It's more than just like.
		I wonder how many of you would admit that.
		I use it for everything.
		Virtually everything.
		So love is a pretty strong word, but it's pretty close.
		It gives me almost everything.
		I hear my wife over there screaming.
		No, not that.
		But, you know, I have a very strong attachment to my phone.
		How many people would admit that, do you think?
		Let's go to our first time caller line.
		You are on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
		Hi.
		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Extinguish your device, please.
unidentified		What's that?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Turn off whatever you're listening to.
unidentified		Ah, there we go.
		Sorry.
		All right.
		Where are you?
		Somewhere in Illinois.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Somewhere in Illinois.
		All right.
		Well, it's good to have you.
unidentified		We're just kind of randomly driving.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you're driving?
unidentified		Yeah.
		Well, my husband's driving.
		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you're listening to what?
unidentified		Your phone?
		No, the radio in the car.
		I know, that seems ancient nowadays.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, no, no, no, that's right.
unidentified		You're listening to the radio.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What radio station do you know?
unidentified		It says 92.9 Bloomington.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		92.9 Bloomington.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		See, people are not giving their affiliates plugs, so you just gave them one.
unidentified		Thank you.
		Thank you.
		Yeah, I don't know who they are, but we're just, I've never heard your show before.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, they're a good radio station because they're carrying this show.
unidentified		Right, apparently.
unidentified		Very entertaining.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So are you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So what's up?
unidentified		So I do have a superpower.
unidentified		I have like probably 10 of them I could choose from.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, give me your most impressive.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let's begin there.
unidentified		Well, I'll go with, because the guy behind me, if you said the whole weird dream thing happens to me all the time.
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In other words, you have frequent predictive dreams.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, wow.
unidentified		And both of my daughters do as well.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Have you yet used this ability to profit or benefit in some way?
unidentified		No.
		I don't know that that would be possible.
		I don't think I would want that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I mean, what if you had a dream that if you did something, you were going to lose a lot of money?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Probably you'd wake up from that dream and then wouldn't do what was in the dream, right?
unidentified		Well, I probably wouldn't realize it until I'm in the middle of making the bad decision.
		And then you'd go ahead and make it anyway?
		Well, I try really hard not to make that decision.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I understand.
		What was it?
		Any other ones I should be aware of?
unidentified		I can recall every word of every conversation I've ever participated in.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, that's got to be a little painful.
unidentified		It really is.
unidentified		I'll have Alzheimer's one day because I won't have any more memory space left.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, like Kelly in the old Married with Children, where one more bit of information in this side of the brain and then something falls out on the other.
unidentified		Oh, yeah, that's hysterical.
		Yep, that's my brain.
		It is.
		It's bad.
		I can recall conversations from texts with my husband from five or six years ago, and he looks at me and goes, I don't even remember that happening.
		Cambrian.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Pretty cool.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, listen, cruise carefully in Bloomington.
unidentified		Have a great night.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, you too.
		First time caller.
		Y'all, if you're listening to a radio station, I've been meaning to say this for a while now, please give them a plug.
		We've got a lot of affiliates coming online shortly.
		Big cities.
		Should I name drop a little?
		Well, like Phoenix.
		Like L.A. I really shouldn't say more, but it's going pretty crazy.
		This is really fun.
		You know, really fun.
		Hello there, outside the country somewhere.
		Artie, you're on the air.
unidentified		Good morning, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Good morning, Artie.
unidentified		Claybank in Scotland.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In Scotland, all right.
unidentified		Yeah, it's brilliant to speak to you, sir.
unidentified		I've been listening to you for a long, long time, and I'm listening on the internet at just about six o'clock above it here.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, probably sitting there with coffee or tea or something, right?
unidentified		Well, something like that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So the Scottish begin the day with something a little stronger.
unidentified		Begin the day.
unidentified		This is just the ending one day.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You don't have any superpowers, do you?
unidentified		Superpowers?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, superpowers.
unidentified		Well, no, nothing out of the ordinary, you know what I mean?
		I could hold a drink and I could hold a smoke.
		Is that a superpower?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, it depends on how you look at it, I guess.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I love your accent.
unidentified		Well, Dead.
unidentified		You must have Scottish relatives yourself, do you know it?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I think there is a little bit of Scottish in me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm mostly English-Irish, but a bit of Scottish.
unidentified		Really?
unidentified		Because one of our major whiskey brands is called Arthur Bell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		Really?
unidentified		One of the major sellers over here, there's the Bell Company that made whiskey for centuries.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, your accent is actually so strong it's hard to understand you.
unidentified		That bad, is it?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, no, not bad.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's just what you are, and I'm not great with some of what you're saying.
unidentified		You've lived all over the world.
		You've lived in the Philippines.
		I have, yes.
		Yep.
		You've lived out in the Far East.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trust me, Asian accents are nothing like Scottish accents.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Not even close.
unidentified		Really?
unidentified		So you've not come across many Scots people?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Not that many.
		But I'm glad to know you're out there.
		I don't think we've ever heard from you before, have we?
unidentified		Never.
		No.
		Never spoken, sir.
		I'll certainly say I've listened to you.
		I love radio, and I love listening to you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, listen, thank you so much for the call.
		I really do.
		All the way from Scotland.
		That is so cool.
		I love the fact that we can just go around the world, even if some of the accents are indiscernible to me.
		We've done it again.
		I'm sorry, Skype has stopped working.
		It says a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
		Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
		Well, what's happened is, we're going to go ahead and close the program.
unidentified		I'm very sorry, those of you who were waiting.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It'll work.
		I can reopen the program.
		What happens is that I don't think that Skype was made for talk show people.
		In other words, when you get 40 or 50 people calling in at one time, it just sort of goes, okay, I give up.
		It's done this on virtually every open line show that I've done at some point or another.
		It just throws up its Skype hands and says, this is not possible.
		Closing.
		And that's that.
		All right.
		Hello there.
		You are on the air from, I believe, Virginia.
unidentified		Yes, that's right.
		My name is Pless Mountlaerton, and I've called you before.
		I'm actually a libertarian.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Libertarian?
unidentified		A libertarian.
		It's not a political thing.
		It's sort of a combination of smaller government and bigger universe.
		I thought you would.
		I mean, I normally listen on WTWW Shore Wave, but tonight, since I'm in the Pleiades star cluster, I'm using the RSC Walk Link and using the ALMA rate of telescopes in the Atacama High Desert in Chile as the town link.
		Wow.
		And I think that that I had a hand in making ALMA happen.
		It uses a photonic local oscillator.
		It uses two lasers that have a difference frequency, and it can actually receive in a submillimeter band all the way up to 950 gigahertz, 0.95 terahertz.
		And I think that's the radio telescope that may be able to resolve the composition of what these gigantic things around that star are made of.
		Because you can look at atomic structure and molecular structure.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, we've got a satellite that can look, but it's out of order at the moment.
unidentified		Yeah, the Kepler has lost its reaction control system so that it can't actually hold station feet beyond the stars very well.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, my comment would be that it's a little disappointing.
		I mean, Kepler sees this amazing alien megastructure thing and then goes out of order.
		So we're all left here going, oh, come on, now what?
unidentified		Well, we've got the very large array in the plains of St. Augustine near New Mexico.
		And we've got this ALMAS thing up in the Chulian Desert.
		They're very high-resolution at those kind of sizes.
		And plus, we have all kinds of optical telescopes, some of which have...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We've got to be out in space to look at it properly.
unidentified		Well, that's the trick, because the atmosphere will vary the intensity.
		You really need an outer space telescope.
		Maybe they can designate some Hubble Space Telescope time.
		It's got photometers on board that are pretty accurate, and while it's still got any life left in it, we should probably be trying to do that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What do you think about a civilization that could do what they're suggesting this one has done all that way away?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Should we ever be in contact with them or not?
unidentified		I think we would want to observe very carefully what was going on, as you said, 1,500 years ago.
unidentified		There may be some remote viewers who could come in and take a closer look and not have to be limited by the speed of light.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Aren't you a little bit concerned that they would be so far ahead of us that, I don't know, they would step on us like an anthill?
unidentified		Right, that's a possibility if there's hostility.
unidentified		Of course, hopefully if they're so far ahead of us, they've also given up on the idea of war as being a waste of time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, we don't have enough experience.
		I'm sorry, but we don't have enough experience yet with what happens to a warlike people.
		We are warlike people, and we have not yet mended our ways.
		In fact, we've got ourselves in so many wars that we can't even afford it.
unidentified		Ronald Reagan said that if we had a perceived threat from external sources like this sort of civilization, it might make us rethink our warlike ways here.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, but I think he may have meant that, or he may have meant that planet Earth would come together, the Russians and the Americans, like dogs and cats, would get together and go, kumbaya, we must build bigger bombs to deal with this big threat.
		Right?
		So there's two ways of thinking about this.
		It may be that warlike people eventually evolve into really warlike people, so that instead of simply taking over another country or nation building yet another nation, we plan it build, we sterilize what's there now, and we reseed it.
		Now, if that's the way it goes, we're cooked.
		I'm not trying to be negative.
		I'm just thinking of the half glass of water, right?
		It could go either way.
		Everybody assumes that as we evolve socially, we will become nice people.
		We will stop our warlike ways.
		We will hold hands.
		All will be well.
		Kisses and hugs all around, right?
		But it also could be true that we're going to go the other way.
		And what is now a warlike nation will become a warlike world, a warlike people.
		End of speech.
		Hope that's not true.
		Hi there.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Skype.
		Hi, Arbel.
		How are you today?
		I'm pretty good.
		I'm calling about the radio that you, the broadcast that you had on the air the other night.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yes.
unidentified		Okay.
		I was listening via Web SDR last night because it intrigued me.
		And I was listening on 8,992 kilohertz, which is also Air Force for the SAC.
		Yes.
		And at one point, I heard what sounded like Arabic and French language.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Boy, Arabic would be the last thing that I would expect to hear on a SAC frequency.
unidentified		Yes, and I'm wondering maybe if that was Turkish.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I would have no way of knowing.
unidentified		I would have no way of knowing either, but with this down drone, I wonder if there's any kind of connection.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's a good question.
unidentified		There was also a lot of chatter on there last night.
		Yeah, but why would it be Turkish chatter?
		I don't know.
		I have no clue.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's interesting.
		Keep listening.
		If you hear anything particularly interesting, record it and send it to me.
unidentified		I most certainly will.
unidentified		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you very much.
unidentified		Thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
		Take care.
		So what we'll do is there are many of you who monitor out there.
		I know thousands of you who, as a kind of a hobby, monitor.
		And if you hear anything really cool, by all means, call me.
		Hello there on the phone.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Hello, Mark.
		Hi.
		Hey, what's up?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You.
unidentified		Yeah, I am.
		Oh, sorry.
		You kind of caught me off guard.
		I have a quick question, since you're always talking about the radio stations and all that, how you get an affiliate.
		Sure.
		With the radio and being on the internet, how do you track ratings and stuff like that?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is an interesting question.
		There are many ways to track.
		One of them, of course, is raw numbers that you get from a server or the master servers that send the program out.
		That's one way.
		With radio, they have a new system now that is run by Nielsen.
		It used to be Arbitron, but Nielsen has now taken over.
		So you have to get those figures.
		And then, of course, you've got a lot of people these days, sir, that don't listen live.
		They want it when they want it.
		And that means usually the next day.
		So you have this massive number of people who want to become what we call time travelers.
		And, you know, they pay like $8 a month, $7.99, I believe.
		And they can listen to the show any old time they want.
		So you're asking a complicated question.
unidentified		Yeah, I kind of figured.
		Yeah.
		So what are your numbers?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I really don't know at any given moment.
		They're pretty big, though.
		Again, you know, we have so many affiliates now.
		We have so many people listening online and so many people listening the next day or two days later.
		I can't give you numbers.
		And even if I could, I wouldn't.
unidentified		Okay.
		I was just curious.
		That's been bugging me for a while.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, 1.87 million.
unidentified		Wow.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Big number, huh?
unidentified		Yeah, especially what's it been, like, a couple months?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, I made it up.
unidentified		You know, the truth is, I have absolutely no idea.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A lot of people, sir.
		A lot of people.
		Oh, man.
unidentified		Oh, one more quick question.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, sure.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Real quick.
unidentified		The Halloween show.
		Halloween calls on a Saturday.
		Is that Friday night?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, so we're going to do it Friday night, right?
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You got it, buddy.
		Later.
		Remember, email your stories to artbell at knye.com.
		And put your phone number there.
unidentified		We gotta get right back to where we started, Mom.
		Midnight in the desert doesn't scream calls.
		We trust you, but remember, the NSA Bell, you know.
		To call the show, please dial 1-952-225-5278.
		That's 1-952-CALLART.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely love that.
		Hey, everybody.
		It's the weekend.
		It's Friday night, Saturday morning.
		Don't forget our two-drink minimum.
		God, I didn't mention that at the beginning of the show.
		We have a special line for anybody who claims to have superpowers.
		Now, what do I mean by superpowers?
		Well, it should be self-explanatory.
		If you can do something that other human beings simply would regard as amazing, then you have a superpower, right?
		And you would want to call Area Code 575-208-7787.
		Once again, Area Code 77, whoops, Area Code 575, my apologies, 208-7787.
		If you're a first-time caller, have never called the show, it's Area Code 775-285-50800.
		And of course, we're available on Skype.
		North America is MITD51.
		The rest of the world is MITD55.
		Going to my superpower line, you are on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
		Hi, Rod.
		My name is Chuck.
		I'm from Rochester, New York, and I listen on tune.
		And I've been to Buffalo, too.
		You're right.
		It's snowy.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
unidentified		Very snowy.
		My superpower is that I get to get parking spaces open for me.
		No matter where I go, I get the closest non-handicapped spot to the door that I'm going.
		They just open up for me.
		People that drive with me don't believe it, and they see it happen over and over again.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, all right.
		Here's the question for you then.
		Do you think that you, in other words, you know where you're going, right?
unidentified		Right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So prior to getting there, you may be pushing somebody who has one of those close parking spots into leaving early by some really devious method?
unidentified		Close, sir.
		Very close.
		What I do is I use the law of attraction to get somebody to leave.
		And I developed after I read The Secret by Rhonda Byrne.
		And one really interesting thing is if I don't have complete faith and confidence that it works, like say I pull in and I say, oh, there's a spot that's close enough.
		And then I'll walk past and there's the spot that I should have had.
		It takes about a month to get it back.
		It's because I don't have faith that it's going to work.
		So it takes a while to develop it.
		And once I get it going, as long as I have confidence and faith, it's like if I'm driving and I have a family member, I'll say, watch this.
		And I'll just shake my hand.
		And then a couple rows down, there it is.
		Wow.
		But it's amazing.
		It always works.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I would say that, thank you, is an extremely handy power and one that I wish I had myself.
		I'm going to work on that.
		But in order for that to work, he said he uses the law of attraction.
		I would think it would be something else.
		I mean, you know, produce a sudden tummy ache in somebody who's parked in, well, the spot you want and start concentrating on that ahead of time.
		But he's kinder.
		He's at the law of attraction.
		So he simply attracts them back to their car, I guess.
		Let's go outside the country to who knows where.
		Mario, you're on the air.
		How are you going?
		I'm going quite well.
unidentified		Thank you.
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		Ecstatic.
		I would love to share with you and your listeners something I stumbled upon roughly about two, three weeks ago called the Library of Babel.
		Does that ring a bell for you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The Library of Babel?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Other than the biblical reference, the Tower of, otherwise, no.
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		So basically, it's a website, and it's pretty much a library that contains everything that has been written, is being written, and will be written.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, do they actually have more there than even Siri knows?
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		Basically, to give you an understanding of how big this library is, I did some rough calculations.
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		And if you spent 100 years and every second were to be able to look at one page of that library for non-stop, you would see 0.0018% of the whole entire library.
unidentified		Wow.
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		So this is where it becomes even more spooky and interesting.
		The library is searchable.
		And I'd love to talk to you a little bit more about it.
		I don't have any sponsorship or anything like that.
		I just found it to be a mind-blowing experience.
		So yeah, just wondering if you'd like to know a little bit more about it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I'll find out more about it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How's that?
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah, okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, I have a question for you.
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, sure.
unidentified		Do you have like an iPhone or something?
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		I'm using the earphones at the moment.
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		Is the quality still okay?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, but I meant you have an accent.
		You do.
		In Australia, does Siri have like an Australian accent?
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		They try real hard.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I've been wondering about that.
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		I've noticed the difference in her voice, I'd say, definitely with the new updates and the new software.
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		But the recognition is a lot better than what it used to be.
unidentified		Sometimes I put on like an American accent as well.
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		So it didn't always work, but you try what you can.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		If you had an opportunity, sir, if let's say you're dying, you've got a diagnosis really bad, something awful, and you're offered the opportunity to hook up your brain to a computer and to continue to live as long as you wish in the computer, would you accept that instead of the obvious alternative?
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		Very good question.
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		It would depend, I think, on the quality of life.
unidentified		Well, the quality of life would be the sensors that I have now.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, it would be the internet.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You would be hooked up to the internet.
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		There's a whole lot of junk on the internet.
unidentified		There is.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, for example, porn, but what would you do with it, right?
		So nothing for that.
		Let's see.
		You couldn't eat.
		Well, maybe you could pick up an occasional cookie.
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		I think you're on fire tonight.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Have a good night, sir.
unidentified		Okay.
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		Art, before you let me go.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, yes.
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		There's two sections to this library, and I think one could actually be a big asset to your show.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And that would be?
unidentified		Yeah.
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		say, for example, the birth of the universe, or maybe if someone was to be channeling someone, say, a photo of who they're channeling, different dimensions, different cities, just it's the vastness of information is just mind-boggling to get your head around.
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		So where I thought it would be really interesting for your show is that if you had someone that had the capacity to talk to, say, different entities, could they provide a reference image within the library of, say, themselves or even where they live or what the basically, yeah, just anything.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Feels like the server of Babel.
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		Well, yeah, it is.
mario in australia ▲ ● ▼		It's really spooky because technically, did you invent it or did you discover it?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Good question.
		All right, sir.
		Thank you very much for the call.
		Interesting.
		I've contemplated that.
		Would I accept being hooked up to a machine that would allow Me to travel the highways and byways and rudded roads of the internet.
		I guess that would be the ultimate goal, right?
		If you were hooked up to a computer, you'd want to be where everything is, and that would be the internet.
		Going to my superpower line, you are on here.
unidentified		Hello.
		Hello, my name is Ruby.
		Colin, in regards to, I got a superpower of sorts.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I bet you must be really strong.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Your name like Ruby, you've done a lot of fighting, right?
unidentified		No, no, no.
		But I got a whookie call or Das Botch.
		Depends on who hears it.
		But do you want to hear it?
		Sure.
		Keeps coyotes away when you're camping.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Can I hear that again, please?
unidentified		Screams.
		Screams.
		Thank you.
		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, I'm really going to be afraid to leave the studio tonight after that.
unidentified		I'm sorry.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where do you people come from?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And this sound would attract, I take it, big feet.
unidentified		I just use it mostly when I go camping.
unidentified		It just keeps anything that might come close to me that's spurring me away.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I bet it does.
		I bet the wolves and the mountain lions run for their lives.
		All right, sir.
		Thank you.
		That's technically not a superpower, and technically it's a violation of my line policy.
		Steve, you're on the air on Skype Low.
unidentified		Steve me?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Steve you, yes.
unidentified		Okay, I'm sorry.
		I didn't know if I wasn't right, Steve, or not.
		Actually, Art Bell, I've been trying to call you since 1991.
		I first caught you.
		I was a truck driver over the road.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Man, that's a lot of dialing.
unidentified		Yes.
		I tried maybe seven or eight times over the years.
		First time I've actually gotten through, and it happens to be on Skype.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, there you have it.
unidentified		I don't know if I have any superpowers or not, but I have had two things happen to me quite unexplainable to me.
		And I haven't shared them.
		Well, on air, I actually do a radio and internet TV show myself.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, we'll share.
unidentified		The first one was in 1985.
		I had a motorcycle.
		I was 21 years old.
		I worked in a factory.
		I had the world's most horrible day at work.
		Nothing went right.
		I think that Irishman named Murphy might have been following me around all day.
		I was mad at the world when I got done.
		And I tore off out of the factory and got out on the highway.
		Excuse me a second here.
		And I was doing as fast as my motorcycle would go, however fast it would go, I was going.
		And I come up on this S curve, and there's a dip in the S curve.
		And I got up on the other side through the S, and I found myself in the left-hand lane with a car coming the other way in her lane.
		She was in her correct lane, and I was in her lane as well.
		And I don't really know if I passed through her car.
		I know you was talking about this last night with the doctor, but I don't really know if I passed through her car or she passed through me, but I froze and she froze as well.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you're here talking to me, so.
unidentified		Yeah, I'm here talking to you as well.
		And the...
		Yeah, yeah.
		Absolutely.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Maybe you are Roadkill.
		Maybe that's the miracle of this call.
		I'm going to settle for that one because there are so many people trying to get through.
		Save the next one for your next call.
unidentified		Certainly.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And try to make it before, well, you said since 91.
unidentified		Yes.
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Try to make it, you know, a shorter span of time.
		But that was pretty good.
		There apparently are more stories like that out there to be heard.
		People who were in situations that would have resulted in their immediate mortality.
		In other words, you're about to hit a truck, you're about to hit a car, and somehow you're out on the other side of it in one piece.
		Now, that would certainly give credence to the guest I had on last night who will be on again, be assured.
		We were talking about that sort of thing, and I think it's amazing, and I think there's something to it.
		Too many stories not to be.
		On my superpower line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		My name is Julie.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Julie.
unidentified		And I'm in.
unidentified		Yep, and I'm in Sandy, Utah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sandy, Utah.
		All right, Julie.
		Are you listening on the internet or to radio?
unidentified		Well, I'm listening on the internet, but we do have, when I'm in the core, I listen on KTKK 6.30 a.m.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
unidentified		You're very welcome, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		So you're on my superpower line.
		I hope with reason.
unidentified		I have reason.
		I don't know if it's a superpower or a super curse.
		Okay.
		I have a hypersensitive sense of smell.
		A hypersensitive, excuse me, what?
		Sense of smell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, sense of smell, okay.
unidentified		I can smell things that nobody else can.
		I used to, I worked in NER for 15 years as a nurse, and I could smell them and tell, like, what was wrong with them.
		As a matter of fact, my mom came in one night and she was really sick.
		She didn't know.
		I said, you have a urinary tract infection.
		She said, how do you know that?
		That's disgusting.
		And then I said, I can smell it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, I understand.
		I have heard people say this before.
		I have heard references also to animals that are able through the sense of smell to detect illness.
		So I believe you.
unidentified		Yeah, and my sister is a homicide detective.
		And yeah, she'd be a really interesting guest, by the way.
		She's the one, did you ever hear about the Lori Hacking case, the lady that was killed by her husband and buried in the landfill last year?
		And they spent like three months digging in the landfill to find her.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		By the way, what are you talking on?
unidentified		Just a cell phone.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The cell phone, okay.
		The landfill kids.
		Yeah, vaguely it sounds familiar.
unidentified		Yeah, it was one of those things that Nancy Gray got her hooks in, and it became national news.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Boy, when she gets her hooks into something, she doesn't let go, huh?
unidentified		That's the truth.
		It can take a normal, and I guess I shouldn't say that it's normal, but it is normal, a normal domestic homicide and turn it into this awful thing when it's happening every day in every state.
		I know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Again and again.
unidentified		I know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, anyway, I think that's a remarkable.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How do you handle this when you're in the company of others?
unidentified		It can be really irritating.
		The scent, the smell of their laundry detergent will actually make me nauseous.
		Like one time, I was taking some classes at a community college and I was talking to my sister, the homicide detective, on the phone.
		I said, every time I get here, they burn the coffee.
		I can smell the burned coffee every time.
		And she said, there's a crematorium across the street.
		And so I was smelling the crematorium.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't think it takes super smell to get that one.
		Listen, I want to make a suggestion to some of you.
		I live out here in an area where, to be frank, cell phone coverage is virtually non-existent.
		I live sort of down the hill from the bad area anyway.
		AT ⁇ T, which happens to be my provider, just started something that is really cool.
		And this is yet another way for some of you to sound really, really good when you call.
		So here it is.
		AT ⁇ T has just rolled out what they call Wi-Fi calling.
		And if you're in a bad cell area, oh man, give it a try.
		There are other cell services that do this.
		But Wi-Fi calling is about 5,000% better than normal cell phone calling from a quality point of view or even a reliability point of view if you happen to live in a very bad area.
		What I would say is if you've got AT ⁇ T and an iPhone or something like that, check into it because Wi-Fi calling can sound every bit as good as Skype.
		It's that much better.
		It's kind of worth giving a try.
		So I think nationwide, Wi-Fi calling has simply just been rolled out by AT ⁇ T. And you might want to give it a try and then, you know, call a friend or something and say, how do I sound?
		And oh my, you're going to sound a lot better.
		So something to play with.
		Wi-Fi calling.
		T-Mobile, I think, also does it.
		And others are on the way.
		And it sounds really, really good.
unidentified		It's getting late.
		Have you seen my face?
		I tell me when the boys get on.
		It's 7 o'clock and I want to rock.
		Want to get a belly full of beer.
		I don't want to come in my way.
		Don't bother I can find explanation.
		She was dying but she can.
		In the air of the car.
		Thank you.
		Hi, I'm Asia Bell, and it's very late, so I'm sleeping now.
		But yo, wake up, call my daddy, because he's awake, too.
		The number is 1-952-225-5278.
		That's 1-952.
		Call Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's Asia.
		Good morning, everybody.
		It is morning for the majority of you at this time.
		Still just a little after 11 out here on the Pacific coast.
		So we've got open lines.
		That means anything you want to talk about is absolutely fair game.
		We have a super powers line, which has been full the entire night.
		Area code 575-208-7787.
		And I am searching for people with real superpowers.
		So if that's you, call that number.
		If not, don't.
		The first-time caller line is Area Code 775-285-5800.
		Skype, of course, at MITD51 for North America and MITD55 for the rest of the world.
		So let's see.
		Let's try another superpower call.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Greetings, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Greetings, sir.
unidentified		You're breathing into your mic.
unidentified		It's a cell phone apparatus or similar to that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sounds pretty good, actually, other than the breathing.
unidentified		I am a telepath.
unidentified		Really?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So by this, you mean, well, is it one way or both ways?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You can read my mind.
unidentified		Intercepted your line to tell you this message given to me by the Astra command, referred to November 4th, 1977 message that our planet, unfortunately, has three years.
unidentified		According to their previous message, it was not given an amount of time, but three years to either assume a more peaceful process or be disintegrated.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So, in three years, if we are not a more peaceful people, we will be disintegrated.
unidentified		Basically correct.
unidentified		Well, that's more generous.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's more generous than a lot of recent end dates that we've had.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Usually they're about a week or two away.
unidentified		No, if you listen to their message, which was given on a radio television station in 1977, they interrupted a television station.
		There are many people who can communicate with aliens, by the way.
		I know that may sound very strange and crazy.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, not on this show.
unidentified		No.
unidentified		But for most people, if you tell them that, I'm an ER doc, so if I told people that, I would be taken away, I think.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're an ER doctor?
unidentified		Mm-hmm.
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You don't mention this to your patients.
unidentified		There's a lot of people who have tremendous amount of psychic power.
unidentified		I'm sure you know this.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I mean, that's why I opened the line, because I really did want to find these people.
unidentified		Well, I've had this since a little boy.
		I have seen people, well, I guess you call them ghosts walking through walls and used to drive my parents crazy chasing imaginary people through our house when I was four and five and that type of stuff.
		I have some other things I can do also, which are not the greatest things to talk about, I guess.
		But, you know, I can see when somebody is going to die in advance.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		Which is, yeah.
unidentified		And I'm talking about days in advance.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		May I ask this?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How do you, when you see that they're going to die, when you look at this person and you have decided they're going to die, it is by what is it you've seen that indicates that to you?
unidentified		It's a very good question.
		I'll give you an example.
		When I was 11 years old at a table sitting with my parents and a friend, and all of a sudden I saw a vision of this friend across from the table with blood all over his face, and his face was mangled.
		It lasted for about four seconds, five seconds.
		And I told my mother that, and she sort of looked at me with like a horrified expression.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Of course.
unidentified		Anyways, about a week later, he had an accident at work, and that's how he died.
		So it's not the greatest thing to have.
		I can also dream.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, well, let me stop you with that one.
		Let me stop you with that one.
		If you can predict somebody to have, well, a horrible accident like that, the next question is, can you stop it?
		Can you intervene?
		Can you say, look, I'm looking at you right now, and I'm telling you that within the next week or so, no?
unidentified		No, impossible.
		I'll tell you, I dreamt my son when he was three years old was going to fall down 15 stairs the next day.
		When I have dreams that are in color, they always come true.
		I told my wife, whatever you do, keep an eye on him.
		Do not let him out of your sight.
		He was standing right next to me the next day.
		The door going down to the basement was closed.
		And I turned to the left.
		I looked somewhere.
		I turned to the right.
		He was three.
		He disappeared.
		All of a sudden, I hear my wife screaming.
		She was downstairs in the basement.
		He went down 15 stairs head over heels, not a scratch.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my God.
unidentified		I mean, you can't prevent the future.
unidentified		I mean, at least our future.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, then it must be very painful to see it and not be able to do anything about it.
unidentified		Well, it is extremely painful.
unidentified		Now, there are many people who are watching us, and it's often been talked about on your show and others.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The watchers.
unidentified		That, yeah, they're watching us because we're at a critical stage.
		There are many people who can sort of figure out what's going on now.
		And there are aliens who are involved in the government.
		I have no doubt about that.
		In fact, I believe since 1963, they've been controlling the U.S. government, as crazy as that may sound.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Tell Trump.
unidentified		But, well, you know, I mean, surely you see the changes that have occurred in society, you know, like a whole fight going on.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I know.
		Most people think that society is.
		I don't know.
		Optimists are all over the place.
		I am not an optimist.
		I don't see it that way.
		I see things right now as going the wrong way.
		I don't know how much worse it can get.
		You know, we've got our jets over Syria.
		The Russians have their jets over Syria.
		This is not going to lead to good things.
		The Middle East is a mess.
		If you're a biblical scholar, you probably already know that that's the most likely place for it all to begin.
		I wish I could say that I see a fuller glass of water.
		But right now, I see big, big trouble ahead.
		On the first time caller line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
		Hey, Art, how's it going?
		Can you hear me all right?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, I hear you fine.
unidentified		Cool.
		I'm in Fort Collins, Colorado.
		My name is Todd, and I got turned on to you by my brother out in Southern California.
		So I just want to say I'm really excited that you're back on the air.
		We've been doing it for about three years or so, so I'm kind of new to this, but I'm totally into it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, are you listening on the Internet or radio?
unidentified		I'm listening on tune-in radio because I can't get to...
		I just listen to my Apple phone and stuff like that.
		So we don't have a radio station locally that carries you.
		Yeah, as far as there's one in Aurora, but I don't know the name of it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, everybody should call their local station and request the show.
unidentified		Oh, yeah.
		I'm absolutely going to do that.
		There's one out of Fort Collins, or actually Wellington, I believe, that has one.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, badger them.
		Badger them, say absolutely.
		Don't badger them.
		Be kind.
unidentified		No, I think they need to do it.
		It's the local station, and it's definitely, I mean, it's the best thing to listen to.
		But I have a quick story, if you don't mind.
		Yes.
		Go ready?
		Okay, so I don't really consider it a superpower, but I've always had like a kind of a psychic intuition.
		And one of the most crazy experiences that I ever had with this was a dream.
		And it happened to be with the Kansas City Chiefs player that had killed himself a few years back.
		My girlfriend works late at night, and she came home, she woke me up, I passed out on the couch, got just crawled into bed, you know, had a late night.
		The next morning, she woke me up, and she was all concerned, and she had like listened to it on ESPN, and she's like, you know, she woke me up.
		She was like, Katie, did you see?
		And I stopped her right away.
		Like, she woke me up, you know, I'm in bed.
		And I'm like, you know, oh, yeah, I know, that Kansas City Chiefs player killed himself in his girlfriend.
		And she just like totally looked like, you know, couldn't even believe what I had said.
		And she's like, how did you know that?
		I said, well, I had a dream about it last night.
		Or I think I saw it on the ESPN, you know, the crawler.
		And she's like, no, that didn't happen until like seven this morning.
		So I got up immediately.
		I went and sat in the kitchen table.
		I flipped open my iPad and immediately had the most intense deja vu I've ever experienced where I was in that moment in my dream.
		And that crawler came up on the ESPN website and I saw that the player and everything that had happened.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, a lot of people don't believe people like you, but what you're saying, I absolutely believe you, sir.
		We do have these powers.
		We can't use them frequently.
		We cannot use them at will.
unidentified		I think it's just random, too.
		I mean, I'm not even a Chiefs fan.
		I'm Bronco.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm not a Chiefs fan either.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In fact, I hate the Chiefs fan.
unidentified		It's ironic.
		I want them to tell you this story because you have so many Chiefs bosses or whatever.
		I know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's been wonderful.
unidentified		Well, you know, it was just really crazy.
		And I even knew the guy's name.
		Like, I looked.
		They didn't announce the guy's name yet.
		It was just new.
		And they gave his name.
		And I looked down the Chiefs roster.
		And I went down and pointed at the first name.
		And I looked at my girlfriend.
		I was like, his name's Javon Dulcher.
		Like, 30 minutes later, they came out and told us they released his name.
		And it was just, it was crazy.
		I think, honestly, I feel that this experience happened to me once my grandmother passed away.
		She raised us when we were kids and was very religious, very spiritual.
		And ever since I lost her, I've had so many deep spiritual experiences that have, basically since she passed away, I have no fear of death anymore.
		It's kind of crazy, but true, you know?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I believe you.
		And look, we have these abilities.
		End of story.
		We have these abilities.
		I don't know why we haven't paid attention to the fact that we have them more.
		Why it has to be something that's way far out there to talk about.
		It's not really.
		To me, it's kind of normal.
		Humans absolutely have these abilities.
		And I don't care what scientists have to say.
		I know it's true.
		We could take calls all day and all night on this kind of thing.
		And when science is finally going to realize it, I guess the problem for science is repeatability, right?
		But if a few scientists would listen to this show for a while, I think they'd begin to believe, and maybe they'd start some studies.
		Hello, Mike, on Skype.
unidentified		Hi.
unidentified		How are you doing?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Very well, Mike.
unidentified		Well, it's great to talk to you again.
unidentified		I'm going to tell you, my girlfriend's her mother died last night.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sorry.
unidentified		And anyways, the four of us around the coffin actually saw her chest rising and falling like she was breathing.
		And my brother-in-law came over and mentioned it.
		And then all of us just looked up and said, what?
		Are you serious?
		We saw that too.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Usually that would be followed by screams, people checking for a pulse, people calling 911.
unidentified		No, it was the showing.
		It was the funeral, right?
		I have my sister here.
		You want to hear my sister's version of it?
		Sure.
		She's here.
		My sister-in-law's right here.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Put her on.
unidentified		Hello?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
unidentified		Hi, Art.
unidentified		How are you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi, huh.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Is this, you verify this story?
unidentified		Yes.
unidentified		I see my mom's chest going up and down, up and down.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But see, that's a sign of life, right?
unidentified		That's right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And so didn't somebody scream and call 911 or something?
unidentified		No.
		No.
		And also, and there's another story, too, I want to tell you.
		I see my mom's light comes on every night over at her house.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I just don't know what to say about all this, but the chest rising and falling apart, how could you not react to that in what I consider to be a normal way?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I would back away quickly.
unidentified		We were terrified.
		The four of us talked together about it and decided not to say anything in front of anyone.
		That's right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But what about mom?
unidentified		Well, she died Sunday night.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I passed away.
unidentified		And we had to pull the plug, right?
		She went peacefully.
		She went peacefully.
		And we just saw her chest just moving up and down for some reason.
		Well, it was open casket funeral.
		Yes, yes.
		And then my brother Marcel come over to me and he said, did you not see her chest rising and falling like she was breathing, Michael?
		And I said, yeah, I saw it too.
		And then Sandra said, yeah, I saw it.
		And then Lucy said, yeah, I saw it too.
		All four of us saw it.
		We saw it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		Well, that's worse, really.
		I mean, if four of you saw it, again, that's a sign of life.
unidentified		It is.
		Yeah, well, we asked her to show us.
		Didn't it feel like upsetting her back and show us that she's still there when she passes?
		We asked her to show us a sign.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's a sign, all right.
unidentified		She did.
		All right.
		Thank you very much for the call.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't know about that.
		I mean, I've got two people on the line telling me the same thing.
		A total of four people witnessing a chest rising and falling after supposed death, right?
		In the gasket, right?
		That doesn't seem to me to be a reaction that computes.
		Wow.
		Gardnerville, hi.
		On my superpower line, you are on the air.
unidentified		Hi.
		I had a couple times I had traveled with another person, but our eyes were closed.
		One time I was at this meeting, a spiritual meeting, and they said, close your eyes, see what you see, hear what you hear.
		And so I did.
		And I saw this group of men sitting in a circle.
		And they said, oh, my God, where have you been?
		I haven't seen you in a long time.
		And I could see it perfectly clear.
		My eyes were closed.
		And they said, just remember, all is one, all is one.
		So I went home.
		A friend called.
		He said he was coming over.
		He had something to tell me.
		And when he got there, he said he was laying at home, and he saw the six men in the circle.
		He heard him say, all is one.
		He saw the same thing I did.
		And I had proof because at the meeting, they told us to write down what we saw and write down what we heard.
		And he saw it, he heard it.
		So then we thought, well, I wonder if we could do this at will.
		So we went to this mountain, we sat down, we closed our eyes.
		And when I opened, I mean, when my eyes were closed, I could see him.
		It was like a cave.
		And there was two Oriental men in there, and they were talking to him.
		And I was standing afar.
		And I was just watching them for a long time.
		Excuse me.
		And then I came back, I opened my eyes, and I said, I wonder why they were talking to you.
		And he goes, I don't know what was going on.
		Why were they, they were teasing him.
		But again, we were at the same place, but our eyes were closed.
		I don't know what you call that.
		But it's not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Some kind of second sight?
unidentified		I don't know.
		Because we end up always going to the same place, but it's not here.
		It's not from, it's another place.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Some kind of second sight.
unidentified		Yes.
		And one time when I was camping and it was nighttime and I could see, when my eyes were closed, I could see the layout of the whole land like it was daylight with my eyes closed.
		I don't know what you call it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't either.
		That's the best I can do as second sight.
		I'm still thinking about mom.
		That was an upsetting call to me.
		Mom's chest is going up and down.
		Four people see it.
		They take mom away.
		They bury mom.
		Mom, here is the dirt hitting the top of the casket.
		More dirt.
		More dirt.
		I don't know.
		Sam, hello there on Skype.
		Hello.
		What is your take on these?
		You're really loud.
		Back off a little bit.
		You're really loud.
unidentified		What is your take on these pictures coming out of China about the floating cities in the clouds?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah, I saw that.
		It's on our website.
		It's at artbill.com.
		It looks like a gigantic flying saucer, right?
		Coming out of the clouds.
unidentified		No, no, no.
		No, the cities that are appearing in the clouds.
		They've had two or three instances over the past four or five years now.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, well, I have not yet seen cities, although it could be a reflection.
		Heaven knows they've got plenty of cities.
		But I have seen this giant saucer coming out of the clouds.
		It's pretty impressive.
unidentified		Roger, that, I know the picture that you're talking about, but that's not what I'm talking about.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Not the one.
unidentified		They've actually got two or three different instances now where they have taken video and picture of it looks like a mirage.
unidentified		But wow, what a detailed, non-fluttery mirage.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Well, that's probably what it is, some kind of mirage.
		I mean, we know we don't have cities in the clouds, right?
unidentified		Not in this dimension.
unidentified		Right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So I would think that it's some sort of reflection.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I have no, you know, I can't answer your question, really.
unidentified		Fair enough.
		Just thought I'd ask you.
		Hello to Belgab.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Yes, hello to Belgab.
		Let's see.
		Hello there.
		You're on air on my superpower line.
unidentified		Hey, Art.
		This is Rob somewhere in Texas.
		How are you doing?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Doing well, sir.
unidentified		What I wanted to tell you about was my superpower is, and I'm really just recently learning more and more of what it is, but since I was real young, I would constantly just kind of know something was about to happen, especially driving.
		I used to race around Dallas, drag racing on motorcycles like a crazy person.
		And at least three different occasions, we'd be racing down the street, car pull out, and I would slow down way before it happened.
		Two of my friends went to the hospital, but just constantly, I don't see it.
		I don't see the car coming.
		I don't know that something, but I just know something's going to happen and I pull out of whatever situation.
		I get out of that lane.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's intuition, a very strong intuition.
		I guess you could call that a superpower.
		I guess that qualifies.
		And not only that, but it's probably kept you alive.
unidentified		Well, amen.
		Most recently, I, you know, started learning.
		I mean, I've been studying a ton of stuff.
		I hurt my leg.
		I worked offshore on an oil exploration rig.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
unidentified		Hurt the back of my went to the doctor.
		They couldn't figure out what it was.
		And then decided through my own research, basically learned how to, you know, I went to the doctor and this is what I wanted instead of all these antibiotics, which the antibiotics weren't working.
		But they started giving me some different steroid shots or whatever.
		Anyways, it fixed it.
		Me telling them how to fix it somehow.
		And I'm not a doctor, obviously.
		But it just, but anyways, wouldn't heal.
		So I started studying about why I'm not healing, why I've been gaining weight a bunch the last couple years.
		And it's why most people in America are overweight is because they figured out, honest, the human domain, mastering the human domain on us.
		But food, they figured out in the 60s, 50s and 60s, when you put it in your mouth and you tasted some kind of sweet or fat or whatever, it would ping the top of your head and make you want to just basically keep eating until you just almost blow up.
		And what I realized recently is the fact that...
		No, actually, I've lost about 60 pounds in the last six months just basically not eating sugar.
		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you're deflating, and sugar is not that good for you anyway.
		Of all the things that they have determined, they have recently determined probably the worst thing for you is sugar.
		Coffee, on the other hand, is now in the A-list.
		Coffee will cure most of your ills.
		According to the recent science magazine I read, it's good for your kidneys.
		It's good for your liver.
		It's good all the way around.
		It's good for your brain.
		It may slow down the onset of Alzheimer's and or prevent it.
		Coffee is good all the way around, according to the latest scientific news.
		I'm not saying it's true.
		I'm just saying that's what science says now.
		Going to Bloomington, Illinois, I believe you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello?
unidentified		Is that me?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's you.
unidentified		Oh, hi.
		Long time listener.
		Love the show.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You've never called before?
unidentified		Nope, never called before.
		I couldn't find you on my radio for a really long time.
		And then I'd rediscovered you on 92.9, same as the other lady from earlier.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Actually, I thought you were her.
unidentified		No.
		It's ironic.
		Yeah, we're both up late at night.
		Okay.
		I have an interesting story to share with you.
		Okay.
		Okay.
		So it was about 3 o'clock in the morning, and I'm night owl, so I was reading, and my cats were in my bed, kids were asleep, and I hear this noise in my kitchen.
		It sounds like a bunch of cans falling off the counter.
		And so I'm like, okay, I'm really organized, so I didn't know what that was.
		So I'm about 10 feet away from the kitchen.
		My door was closed, but I'm about 10 feet away.
		So I open the door, look out there real slow, and I'm kind of worried, you know.
		And so I go out there slowly and looking around.
		Nothing's out of place at all.
		And then I look to my left a little bit, and there's lavender flower on the floor.
		And it came out of my vase that's up on a shelf about maybe 10 feet high.
		And it's about three to four feet away from the shelf.
		And I'm like, I'm like, how did that get there?
		Because, you know, I have boys, and they are asleep, and they are not interested in flowers.
		They would never touch it.
		And I'm like, it's three in the morning.
		Everybody's asleep.
		So I go over there and I'm looking at the dust.
		You know, I'm like, you know, we don't have critters.
		But I thought, what if there was one in here or something and got up there?
		Nothing knocked it over.
		The vase was in place.
		Everything was all in place.
		So fast forward just a little bit.
		It was three when that happened.
		Eight o'clock in the morning.
		I'm watching the news and I hear that the Boston Marathon had a bombing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sorry, John.
unidentified		Repeat that, please.
unidentified		At 8 o'clock, a couple hours later, at 8 o'clock in the morning, I heard on the news that there was a bombing at the Boston Marathon.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, yes, yes.
unidentified		Yeah.
		And I have no connection with anybody at Boston or the Marathon.
		But years and years ago, I heard that, or I read in a dreams book, that lavender flowers are the sign of death.
		So it was just kind of like, wow.
		You know, I kind of went, whoa, because the cans maybe could have sounded like a bomb, you know?
		So it was kind of a, I don't know if you want to say a premonition or someone telling me something was going to happen.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Or an absolute, it might have been a coincidence.
		You know, you heard a noise.
		That doesn't necessarily automatically relate to the bombing in Boston.
		But on the other hand, you never know, I guess.
		George on Skype, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi, Art.
unidentified		I have a story for you about an actual death experience.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I'm actually still worried about mom's chest going up and down.
unidentified		I don't blame you there.
		Yeah, really humorous.
		But this story, it happened to me when I was a teenager.
		And while sleeping one night, I had a dream.
		And I've come to think that this dream was a past life death.
		Really?
		And how did you die?
		The dream began with me standing at the end of a ship's plank.
		And I could see who I assume was the leader of the ship.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, man, you were made to walk the plank?
unidentified		Yeah, I think so.
		I think I was made to walk the plank.
		The leader of the ship was there, and I did the plank.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What a way to go.
unidentified		And all the rest of the pirates were on deck.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Were your hands tied?
unidentified		I don't know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Must have been.
unidentified		Maybe.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, hold on, sir.
		We're at a break.
		I don't get too many walk the plank stories, so we'll hold over.
		This one.
		What a way to die.
		You walk the plank.
		Normally, they would tie your hands behind your back and maybe a little sack of something, sand or stones or something, so you go straight down.
		I mean, otherwise, you swim.
		I'm Art Bell, and this is Midnight in the Desert.
unidentified		Midnight in the Desert
		Want to 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 ▲ ● ▼		You know, I really wish I hadn't had that mom call.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's going to be with me at minimum all the weekend long now.
unidentified		I don't like that call at all.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		George, you're back on the air again.
unidentified		Okay, hi, Bart.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You were on the air, right?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, continue.
unidentified		Okay, so I'm standing at the end of the plank.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		About to walk it, yes.
unidentified		And, you know what you said about hands being tied behind your back and weighted makes sense.
unidentified		I didn't realize that in the dream, but when I hit the water, I did just sink.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, sure, because you'd just go straight down.
unidentified		And I always assumed that it was kind of like because we were in the middle of the ocean and there's no reason to tread water, just...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Of course, not with a bag of rocks tied around your teeth.
unidentified		So anyway, I could see myself sinking.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		But then shortly thereafter, I was rising.
		And I rose above the water and saw everyone on the ship.
		It seemed like to be a very solemn type of thing.
		And I got the impression that I was one of the pirates and that I must have done something to offend the captain, something bad.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Something legal?
unidentified		Probably not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Kidding.
unidentified		Be offended by something legal.
unidentified		And I got the impression that some of the pirates weren't happy that I was being killed this way.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, well, that's leaves something to be, well, I don't know, happy about, but.
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		So anyway, I rose up and up and up, and eventually I kind of saw the earth more or less dissolve underneath me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
unidentified		And then there was nothing but blackness.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		And way off in the distance, I did, like maybe by turning around or something, I did see some little piece of light.
		And so I thought, well, I'll head that way.
		I don't know what else to do.
		And I don't know if I was heading that way on purpose or if I was being drawn to it.
		One way or another, that's where I was going.
		And as I got closer to this point of light, it resolved to be many points of light orbiting or going around this big ball of light.
		And as I got closer and sort of became, I kind of realized that I was also a point of light.
		And these other points of lights were other people.
		And I couldn't understand, but I could hear other people talking like.
		And just basically reacting to being in the situation.
		And anyway, as I was going around with all these other points of light surrounding this big ball of light, I kind of figured out that, oh, okay, these must be other dying people.
		And that big ball of light must be God.
		And I'm not ready to meet my Maker.
		I've been a pirate.
		I didn't think I had led a good life.
		And so I, just out of fear or something, I just decided to dive downwards.
		And when I did that, I got stuck in like a whirlpool type thing.
		And it just was like a vortex.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Like a womb?
unidentified		Well, that's what I think is going down that vortex was what brought me back into this life.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And do you remember your birth?
unidentified		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No.
unidentified		I don't remember anything.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Maybe that's how it works.
		Maybe that's how reincarnation works.
		You walk the plank.
		You buzz around some lights.
		You're in the womb again.
		This time as who knows what.
		Let's go to our superpowers line and say hello.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Hello, Art.
		Oh, my goodness.
		What a pleasure to talk to you.
		Anyway, I've been a long time listener and a first-time caller.
		I've remembered that the first time I listened to the show when a guy was flying over Area 51 and got shot down.
		A long time ago.
		Yes, it's been a long time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now you're on my superpower line.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know that, right?
unidentified		Yes.
		Yes, yes, yes.
		So since I remember, I've been able to remember things since I was about a few months Old and including memories of my thoughts.
		I remember how I was not even able to communicate, but I understood, and I was trying to tell some things to my mom, and I couldn't know how to say them.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How is this in any way different than any other baby?
unidentified		Well, apparently, other people, I've been talking to many people, and apparently they're not able to remember all the way, including thoughts of a baby, of an infant, of trying to understand what mother is communicating or saying.
		So that's kind of, apparently it's quite unusual.
		Also, when I was...
		Yes, yes, and the feeling of the dirty diaper.
		Yeah.
		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you remember drinking from a bottle?
unidentified		Yeah, actually, I remember that my mom breastfeed me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you remember breastfeeding?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, this is pretty good, actually.
unidentified		Yeah, pretty good.
		Well, also, when I was in kidney cardium, I was eating with utensils, you know, of course, and I've been playing with one of my utensils with a fork, and I kind of noticed that the fork is bending quite easily.
		And I showed it to my friend of mine, and my friend, she tried it on hers, but she couldn't.
		And I ended up actually breaking my fork.
		So I tried on hers, and it was pretty easy, too.
		Of course, you know, other people, other kids noticed it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now you mentioned this is in kindergarten.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Is that right?
unidentified		Yes, in kindergarten.
		And that was in kindergarten, and I ended up breaking several utensils and getting in huge trouble.
		And my mom had to buy utensils to this.
		Yeah, and then she told me never, ever, ever do that again.
		So I have not been able to do that since then.
		Well, you know what?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You should give it a try as an adult.
unidentified		Yeah, I tried it, but somehow I don't know how I did that.
		Yeah, I tried it, but I have not been successful since then.
		Also, I'm able to speak to clouds and make them make rain.
		Able to speak to clouds?
		Clouds?
		Clouds make them rain or what do you say to a cloud?
		It's a way of communication through my head, through my mind, and basically being part of it.
		And it's sort of like I'm not really asking, I'm sort of telling them, okay, this is what's going to happen.
		So, yes, at first, you know, when I was a teenager, when my parents had to ask me to do some gardening and things like that outside and I didn't want to, I would talk to the rain to have them, to have it rain, for example, and I didn't have to do it at that time or something like that.
		So it was kind of fun.
		But then later on, I kind of realized and then also started listening to you.
		And I'm like, you know what?
		I really don't know if I want to be changing and playing with Mother Nature.
		So I kind of, yeah, I kind of don't want to do that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you followed my example?
unidentified		Yeah.
		So I kind of like, you know what, I'm not sure what I'm doing for sure.
		So I'll let nature be what does it mean.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You haven't been screwing around with Southern California, have you?
unidentified		No, no, actually, no.
		That's not you.
		Yeah, no, that's me.
		Sorry.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Thank you very much.
		So there's somebody who can make it rain, she says.
		Michael, hello on Skype.
		Good morning, guys.
		Good morning, sir.
unidentified		Yeah, I'm first-time Skype user and first-time caller.
		Really?
		Really?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I sense a little echo, but you sound great.
unidentified		Yeah, I was saying I don't think you need to worry about mom a whole lot because most people, when they're aren't they involved in the blood, would be gone.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, one would think.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But either way, look, either way you look at this, it's very worrisome.
unidentified		Yeah, it is.
unidentified		I agree with you 100%, but there's got to be an explanation.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I would want it then as opposed to just contemplating it later.
unidentified		Oh, definitely.
unidentified		I would think somebody would have tried to listen for a heartbeat or something.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
		It's going to stick with me.
		That call is going to stick with me.
		And there were two people saying it, too, which bothered me all the more.
unidentified		Yeah, and it bothers me, too, to hear it.
		And I've been trying to think of anything logical, but like you say, you would take it further.
		I would definitely want to see if there's a heartbeat, listen to see if you could sense a call.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What are you using to call?
unidentified		My Android phone.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Boy, it sounds good.
unidentified		Well, thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let it be a lesson to all.
		You can sound like this.
		You hear the authoriti in his voice.
unidentified		Well, that's great.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Anyway, what else is on your mind, sir?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, not a lot.
unidentified		Just enjoy hearing you.
unidentified		I'm glad you're back.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, thank you.
		And you have a very, very good night.
		Let's go to the phones and to a first-time caller line.
		You're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hello, Larry.
		Hi.
		I am such a long-time listener that I remember when you threw a party for yourself in your studio for your 50th affiliate.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we're just about to round that corner, actually.
unidentified		Again.
		Yes, that's right.
		So I missed the show yesterday.
		I didn't hear the EAMs, but I've heard and decoded thousands of them.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, this one was creepy.
		I'm telling you.
		Creepy.
unidentified		I used to, but we used to get sometimes dozens or even more than that a day when I was in the Air Force, and I decoded all of them.
		That fellow from the Navy had it.
		I'm surprised he figured it out as well as he did by listening, just by listening to the he was right about the preambles and stuff.
		But you know, it must have been pretty scary to hear because, I mean, they're just they're just standard preambles and then rambling characters after that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right, well, rambling is right.
		And you know what scares me is the state of the world right now, in my estimation, is scarier than it's been in our lifetimes.
		Or as scary as pre-Cuba, or pretty close to it.
		I'm telling you, it feels like we're on the edge of an abyss from a conflict point of view.
		And I just, I don't like what Russia is doing.
		I don't like the possibility of being in such proximity to them with our warplanes.
		It's not going to lead to anything good.
		Skype, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hey, I hate to be the second person this evening to rehash the past, but I was hoping you would go into a little bit of detail on what you think the United States government was looking for when they investigated the possibility of Mel's Hole.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I think that if they were listening to that program and they looked into Mel's Hole, they're looking, well, what is the U.S. government always looking for?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Something that'll be a useful weapon.
unidentified		So you think that the possibility of a bottomless pit would come in handy as a weapon?
		See, I see it as someplace where you can efficiently dump things like nuclear waste, et cetera.
		Whereas, you know, maybe a weapon seems reasonable, but I think of it as just like a garbage.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, so you dump nuclear waste into it, and what crawls out?
unidentified		Okay, good question.
unidentified		Nuclear physicists might be able to call in and answer that one.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you might want to ask them before you dump the waste in there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Something with big teeth.
unidentified		I was hoping that you've been talking about the megastructures a little bit, but you've been talking to all these people and asking them what they have to say about it.
		I know that you're kind of leaning towards the possibility of it being a Dyson sphere, but do you have anything else to say on that?
		What do you think is going on there?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Look, sometimes you just have to say, I don't know.
		And in this case, I don't know.
		But if they are megastructures, I'm pretty sure we don't want to meet the people that built them.
unidentified		Well, I'm curious myself, but I tend to remain as cautiously optimistic as you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
		I have always hoped that in my lifetime, we would discover alien life.
		Now, this may be it.
		It may be that SETI will point the telescopes in that direction, radio telescopes, and they will actually detect something.
		It may not be a signal, per se, but it may be noise.
		A civilization capable of doing that kind of thing may even inadvertently be doing something from an industrial point of view, if I can loosely use that term, that would generate radio noise that could be heard 1,500 years later.
		Let's go to our first-time caller line.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Oh, how you doing?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm doing very well, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're down in Texas?
unidentified		Yes, I am down in Texas.
unidentified		I'm right out of Houston, Texas, and I'm listening to you on 50, 85 kilohertz on WTWW.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I think you also have a local affiliate, by the way.
unidentified		Oh, we do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What would that be?
		Well, you would ask.
		I don't have a list here.
unidentified		I can find it out.
		I just wanted to tell you that somebody's listening to you on Shortwave on the Ham, of course, and I tuned my receiver across 5085, and I got a 40 over 9 signal.
		So I said, what's this?
		And then I realized you're back on.
		Right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let me tell you something, sir.
		If you're a shortwave listener, if you listen to a lot of shortwave, then let me run this by you.
		We have got to be, by far and away, the most interesting thing on shortwave.
		I mean, shortwave has sort of deteriorated a little bit into, well, frankly, most of the countries that we're broadcasting, many of them have signed off.
		There are some religious stations on.
		But in terms of what you find on the dial, we've got to be one of the more interesting.
unidentified		Absolutely.
		Another interesting one, I mean, absolutely for sure.
		And I know the genesis of the station that you took over, which is absolutely fantastic that you did that.
		And, you know, Havana Cuba is getting interesting.
		I used to listen to Radio Moscow.
		I listened to Radio Moscow when the fall of the Russia was falling, which was very interesting.
		But the other broadcasters that are broadcasting a philosophy, let's just put it that way.
		Philosophy of religion per se.
		It's too mundane and it's not good.
		But I really enjoy listening to you.
		I just wanted to tell you that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, Liz and thank you.
		And you know what?
		Sir, our show is ending, so I'm going to give you the chance to tell everybody good night.
unidentified		Okay, well, good night, everybody.
unidentified		And this is excellent quality broadcasting from Art Bell and Shortwave Radio and the Internet.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, brother.
		All right, I want to thank my crew, and I do have a crew.
		Telos, my buddy Joe Talbot here.
		Thank you, Joe.
		Heath Roland, my webmaster.
		Heather Wade, my producer.
		If you've got a guest you want, it's producer at artbell.com.
		Producer at artbell.com.
		Stream, guys, LV.net.
		LV.net people are great.
		They're about their 50th anniversary.
		Sales, of course, Pete Eberhardt, TuneIn Radio, a lot of you listening on TuneIn Radio.
		And Amy Martin, our new news gal.
		Thank you all.
		And just imagine it's Not just me, but it's a whole crew that does this.
		I'm sorry to leave all the phone lines going, Skype going nuts.
		We could do ours.
		From the high desert, the soggy high desert, good night.
		Everybody have a good weekend.
		And oh, Mom.
		Good night, everybody.
unidentified		Good night.
		Midnight in the desert, and there's wisdom in the air.
		I've been looking for the answers.
