Art Bell’s Midnight in the Desert explores caller claims of superpowers—Steve from New Mexico hears conversations 500 feet away, an Illinois listener shares precognitive dreams and perfect recall, while a Scottish fan mispronounces his whiskey brand. Bell dismisses fabricated stats (1.87M listeners) but pivots to eerie EAMs from SAC frequencies, including Gulf War-era signals, and near-death visions like a vortex or chest-rising post-mortem. Skeptical yet intrigued, he warns of humanity’s warlike nature amid rising tensions—Russia vs. U.S. warplanes—and speculates on alien megastructures, hinting they might be built by civilizations Earth shouldn’t meet. The episode blends fringe science, conspiracy musings, and unsettling anecdotes, leaving listeners questioning reality’s boundaries. [Automatically generated summary]
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Have you ever had any support for what you're saying?
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?
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Whatever the end point is, there's one thing that will become absolutely critical to an advanced society, and that is energy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Basically, to give you an understanding of how big this library is, I did some rough calculations.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
So by this, you mean, well, is it one way or both ways?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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?
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.
And you might want to ask them before you dump the waste in there.
Something with big teeth.

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?
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.
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.
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.
