Time	Text
	From the high desert and the great American Southwest, I bid you good evening, good morning,
	good afternoon, wherever you may be in the world's 25 time zones covered.
	you Like a nice warm blanket and baby in the desert, it's cold out there.
	This program, Midnight in the Desert.
	My name is Art Bell and I have breaking news coming up for you.
	First, the rules of the program.
	It's Friday night.
	It's open lines.
	So, no bad language.
	One call per show.
	Two drink minimum.
	As always, I want to thank my group.
	Talos, Joe Talbot, right here in Trump.
	Keith, my webmaster.
	Heather Wade, my producer.
	If you've got something you want produced, meaning a guest, send it to producer at artbell.com.
	That's producer at artbell.com.
	Then we have StreamGuys, who distribute like crazy, although they haven't been arrested yet.
	LV.net, Sales, Pete Eberhardt, TuneIn Radio, News with Amy Martin, of course, and my dear wife, Erin, and, of course, Asia.
	All right.
	We do have breaking news.
	You know, I've been doing this show a long, long time.
	Decades, right?
	A show.
	I guess I ought to put it that way.
	And in my career, I really had always hoped for this kind of breaking news.
	This is just like the speech I gave for Tabby's Star, right?
	Which, by the way, is still every bit as much Tabby's Star as it was.
	NASA has a theory, as we mentioned a long time ago, about comets.
	But that's all it is, a theory.
	They still don't know any more than they knew before about whether they're megastructures or not.
	Something to keep in mind.
	New breaking news tonight!
	Did scientists just pick up the first intelligent radio waves from a distant alien planet?
	This comes from the Express.
	Listen very closely.
	The fast radio bursts included one double signal never heard before and have astronomers buzzing with excitement over the possibility of it being a message with alien origins.
	Only 11 of the unidentified transient radio pulses have ever been recorded before around the world.
	I've got it up on rbell.com now, and it is the Curious New Double Blast, which was accompanied by four singles, which has baffled astronomers, analyzing data now from the Parkes Radio Telescope in New South Wales, Australia.
	Emily Petroff from Swissburn University in Melbourne.
	One of the team who discovered these signals believes the origin could be more remarkable than anything recorded before.
	She tweeted, we have no idea what's going on, but we know it's definitely something cool.
	The Parks Observatory in Australia picked up the signals.
	The discovery is being compared in significance to the recording of the WOW signal.
	A strong, narrow-band radio wave found by Jerry Ellman in 1977.
	That radio burst picked up by the Big Ear radio telescope of Ohio State University in the U.S.
	bore all the expected hallmarks of a non-terrestrial origin, but has not been detected since.
	Right?
	If you want to read more about this, and there's a lot more to read, You're going to want to, you really are going to want to go to my website rbl.com and read this just breaking.
	Again, did scientists pick up, just pick up the first intelligent radio waves from an alien planet?
	Or in Hamspeak's serious DX, folks.
	The fast radio bursts included one double signal never heard, of course.
	Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Let me see what is the new stuff here.
	Definitely something cool.
	The discovery is being compared, yes again, to the WOW signal.
	And they think that it could be extraterrestrial in origin.
	Could be a billion miles away.
	But it's a very, very strong signal, or group of signals, more accurately said.
	so uh... once again uh... we have breaking news in the
	category that i had always hoped to be able to read to you
	Now that doesn't mean that this is it.
	But when they compare the signal at a major university, a major radio telescope in Australia to the WOW signal, only a lot bigger WOW, I would say that this qualifies as the second big story to break.
	on my short watch here on Midnight in the Desert.
	I'm sure other radio telescopes are going to be quickly honing in and seeing what they hear.
	But this is a big one.
	Scientists at major universities and major telescopes like Parkes don't make these statements without cause, without thinking really, really hard about it before they say it.
	So if you want to read the story, it's just beginning, really.
	It's just breaking.
	You know, on the Express right now, we'll see where the story goes, but it's a big story.
	I'm telling you.
	And we're breaking it here.
	Anyway, so there is that.
	Again, we're going to open lines.
	If you have a comment on that, if you have an early comment on it, you're certainly welcome to make it.
	There was an all-day-long, it seemed like, standoff with a gunman in Colorado Springs, in a Planned Parenthood building, shooting at people, hitting people.
	And so, they got him.
	They got him alive this time.
	It could be a political statement.
	It could be just a crazy person.
	You never know.
	There's so much of this stuff going on now.
	You never know, right?
	The annual ritual of Black Friday, as we know it, is over now.
	The frenzied choppers are gone.
	But this year, not as many of them went.
	How many of you put off Black Friday this year?
	Just didn't go?
	Decided, I'll wait for Cyber Monday.
	That's what I think is going on.
	I really think that Cyber Monday is where most people are doing their biz now.
	And I wonder how it's going to change America, don't you?
	I mean, if you can sit at home on your computer and you can get a better deal than you get by going to a brick-and-mortar store and fighting with other people about grabbing whatever is grabbable, Then that's probably what you're going to do, and that's what people are doing, and it's just going to change the landscape of America, I think.
	What's going to happen to big shopping malls?
	You know what people are doing?
	I've heard, and I bet a lot of you do it, too.
	You go to a shopping mall, you find what you like, because you can look at things and, you know, put hands on, right?
	And then you go on the net and find a better price and order it there.
	Maybe with free shipping and no tax, if you're lucky.
	And then there is this person on the wormhole tonight.
	Art.
	Make... Who is this person?
	Adam, by the way.
	Art, make the change to Windows 10.
	Join us.
	I know you're afraid, but trust me, it's better.
	Once you've made the change, you will feel better too.
	We're waiting for you.
	We'll all be together.
	We'll all be happy.
	That's Adam.
	Sounds like something out of the Body Snatchers to me.
	All right, ladies and gentlemen, I hereby declare open lines.
	Anything you want to talk about is fair game.
	Anything goes, literally.
	I have, uh, earlier today, I made a suggestion on my Facebook site that people suggest what they would like to hear for open lines, special open lines.
	Just one line, right?
	And I have a lot of suggestions here.
	Actually, over 300 of them came in in a matter of hours.
	So, I have picked four for our one special line.
	These four are the following.
	A weird addiction line.
	That's right.
	Lots of people have weird addictions.
	When I was in high school, I I ate erasers.
	And I guess you could call that a weird addiction.
	I never had erasers on my pencil.
	Therefore, when I went to erase, I usually scratched the paper in school.
	Erasers.
	That taste, as an adult, has faded.
	So, we've got the weird addiction line added to that.
	I have decided to take somebody's suggestion And open the I Hate Art Bell line.
	That's right.
	Somebody suggested an I Hate Art Bell line, so fine.
	If you hate me, call the number I'm going to give out here shortly.
	Another is the Soulless People line.
	If you are a person with no soul, no soul, when they were giving them out or whatever, they missed you.
	If you're one of those people, you're going to want to call the soulless line.
	And finally, and not to be ignored to be sure, the shapeshifters line.
	Now this is only if you are a, dare I say, legitimate shapeshifter.
	That's hard to say.
	Shapeshifter.
	So, again, in addition to general craziness, We have the Weird Addiction line, the I Hate Art Bell line, the Soulless People line, and the Shapeshifters line.
	And the numbers for everything are as follows.
	I call this the talk.
	Sorry.
	Our national number is area code 952-225-5278.
	Easy, right?
	That's 952-CALL-ART.
	225-5278. Easy, right? That's 952-CALL-ART. Now, if you would like to come to us via the
	cool way, and you've got a really good connection in Skype, then come on. It's a great way.
	It's easy.
	Put Skype on your phone, Android or Apple, or whatever, actually.
	It's free to download, and then, you know, add us as a contact.
	We are MITD51.
	That's in North America only.
	MITD51.
	Now, outside the country, outside North America, that is, it's MITD55.
	That's Midnight in the Desert, M-I-T-D, case doesn't matter, uh, 55.
	And wherever you are in the world, you can call us for free.
	Okay, let's see, we have a couple of more numbers to give out and then we're underway.
	That is, The first time caller line, in case you have never called the show.
	Never, never have called the show.
	That number is area code 775-285-5800.
	775-285-5800.
	I wonder if we're about to actually make contact.
	It sure does feel like it.
	285-5800. 775-285-5800. I wonder if we're about to actually make contact. It sure does feel like it.
	The special line, the four special things you can do, would be at area code 575-208-775.
	So, if you have a weird addiction, if you hate me, if you don't have a soul, or you're a shapeshifter, you can call Area Code 575-208-7787.
	I think that about sums it up and sets up a pretty wild night
	Actual radio contact out there?
	Seriously?
	Somebody calling themselves Wild Card Line is going to be on the air on Skype.
	Hello.
	Hello, Art.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	Thank you for making it, sir.
	What a night, huh?
	That is really fancy to hear about a signal being found.
	Exciting.
	Yeah, Parkes Telescope in Australia.
	So, wow, indeed.
	The one thing that seems a little odd is they say it's several billion light years away and probably from another galaxy, so that has to be a pretty powerful signal.
	Very, very powerful.
	Well, I just was calling in to say that.
	It sounds like you have a lot of lines going tonight, so thanks for taking my call.
	You sure you don't want to try to fit in under one of those categories?
	You're not a shapeshifter, are you?
	Well, my guess is you may have a few more people calling and claiming to be your mouse today, but I'm not going to make such a claim.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Any weird addictions, sir?
	No, no.
	Not that I know of.
	Do you hate me?
	Absolutely not.
	I've enjoyed listening to you.
	I listened to you a little bit streaming on the internet from Los Angeles over the weekend.
	Oh, man.
	Did you hear from L.A., huh?
	I live in Virginia, but I was just streaming it on the internet.
	Uh-huh.
	KBC?
	I did.
	It was good hearing you on a radio station.
	I usually use the TuneIn app, and it makes me glad to be a time traveler and not having to listen to ads most of the time.
	Uh, there you have it.
	Nevertheless, glad to have you along live, and thank you for the call.
	Thanks, Art.
	Right, take care.
	Sure, it is big news.
	I mean, think about it.
	In all the years that I did a show, wherever it was, we never once, not even once, got a signal that would qualify up in the WOW signal territory.
	And now, in the span of, what, a month?
	We have had two giant indications of alien life.
	No.
	Possible alien life.
	Let me be clear.
	Possible alien life.
	This one from Parkes Telescope is a biggie.
	Just as Tabby's Star is a biggie.
	So...
	You know, we're talking about serious stuff here.
	Maybe we are beginning to discover intelligent life out there.
	Let's go to my very, very special line and say, hello there, you're on the air.
	Hi Art, my name's Joey from Daytona Beach.
	Daytona Beach.
	And which of my four categories would you like to address?
	I have a really weird addiction.
	Okay.
	In the past, I've had a problem with drugs and alcohol, but I gave all of that up, and it really kind of occurred to me that I have a very strange addiction to anything that has to do with post-apocalyptia.
	Well, then you must be a movie fanatic, because man, they sure make a lot of movies about it, don't they?
	Yeah, they do.
	To me, to be honest, I'm not sure if I can give you a book that I've read.
	I've read it over 14 times.
	Have you ever heard of Pierce Anthony?
	Yes.
	The writer?
	Yes.
	Just picture yourself, sir.
	Where are you calling from?
	Daytona Beach, Florida.
	Daytona Beach, okay.
	So, picture yourself somehow making it to a Miami that is now nothing but a nub of its former self.
	All the buildings, Trash to about one quarter of their size.
	Um, nothing but tangled wreckage in the streets.
	Few people running around on motorcycles like Mad Max.
	Like that, huh?
	Uh-huh.
	That's post-apocalyptic, for sure.
	Yes, sir.
	So... I'm actually addicted to a video game right now.
	Ah...
	Yes, sir.
	Yes, sir.
	says it all.
	Yes sir.
	It says it all.
	So you spend a lot of time, do you actually wish that the world was like that?
	Oh yes I do.
	Oh God.
	I'm going to have to take that out.
	Mad Max like stuff.
	How about that?
	Like stuff, yes sir.
	You actually want that?
	Yes sir, I do.
	You wouldn't miss the police in case you have an emergency or the fire department in
	No, sir.
	Not at all.
	So, let me dig in a little further here.
	I get the feeling that if the apocalypse came, that you would be one of the first out on the street causing mayhem.
	No, not causing mayhem.
	I would actually probably be a defender of people.
	The center of people?
	Yeah, the defender.
	Oh, the defender of people.
	So, you would be a defender of the apocalyptic criminals?
	Not the criminals, but those being oppressed by the criminals.
	Those being oppressed by... well, okay, that's fair.
	Yeah, there wouldn't be any police, so you would essentially be a cop.
	Yeah, I guess, yeah.
	So you would have to create that which you just saw destroyed to help people?
	Yes, sir.
	That's pretty weird.
	Pretty weird, sir.
	Yes, sir.
	All right.
	Thank you very, very much for the call, and it does indeed qualify as weird.
	He would like a post-apocalyptic world.
	One in which there'd be Mad Max stuff going on, right?
	And one in which he could participate By probably putting on a cloak of some sort.
	Perhaps with a big A on the chest.
	And run around and save you all from what would be coming.
	First time caller line.
	You are on the air.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	Going once.
	Going twice.
	Washington.
	I know you're in Washington.
	Hello.
	Hello, how are you?
	Hi, turn your device down and off, please.
	See, that's in the past.
	Sounds like about 30 seconds in the past.
	Can you get it turned off?
	Yeah, I can turn my phone off, yeah.
	Who you were talking to a minute ago when I called you with my phone was not me.
	Um, well, I don't know what you're talking about, but you've got your radio on, or your device in the background, and that's interfering with things.
	Ah, that's you!
	And somebody else that was talking to you.
	No, no.
	There's nobody on but you, sir.
	I turned my phone off.
	You're a jerk.
	I'll be with my mom in a minute.
	Oh, darn.
	He figured it out.
	It's still going.
	There you go.
	No, still going.
	How's that?
	Way better.
	It took the better part of a minute, though.
	Oh, yeah, I just got up and went and turned it off.
	Sorry it's evening.
	What should I talk about?
	What?
	You're asking me what you want to talk about?
	Well, yeah, because I was listening to someone else talking to you on the radio and on my phone.
	That's because there's a delay, which you ignored and drove me nuts.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I didn't mean to drive you nuts.
	Yeah, see, you were listening to like 30 seconds in the past.
	So what you and I say right now will not appear in people's ears until perhaps as much as 30 seconds later on time travel.
	Isn't that awesome?
	Um, fairly awesome.
	Anyway, you're here now, so surely you had something on your mind when you dialed.
	Yeah, actually I did.
	You were talking about which different conspiracy theory, I guess, basically, if I remember correctly, and I was doing some postal exam work and stuff.
	So, I'm new to the Shelton area.
	Okay.
	Alright, so do you mean one of my special lines?
	Is that what you mean?
	Yeah, I'm not either one of them.
	I'm just a human being, you know?
	United States citizen with a social security number.
	Prove it.
	Okay, how do I do it?
	Do I need to go show you my social security number?
	No, God no, don't give it out.
	We've got four special lines.
	You could comment on any of those things.
	Do you hate me?
	No, not at all.
	He's like a really nice guy.
	Are you without a soul?
	Are you a person without a soul?
	Oh, no.
	We got a soul.
	We got a soul.
	You got a soul.
	I got a soul.
	Uh-huh.
	Good.
	All right.
	Good.
	Do you occasionally shapeshift into something else?
	You know, I thought about it and then I just thought that's just insane.
	Insane.
	Okay.
	So, here's the one that's got to be for you.
	I mean, surely you are addicted to something.
	Ooh, that's scary.
	Yeah.
	You know what I'm addicted to?
	What?
	People.
	I enjoy being social.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Isn't that weird?
	It is, because I consider myself basically antisocial.
	Really?
	I mean, especially with the job that you have, right?
	Especially with the job that I have, actually, sir, yes.
	I'm kind of antisocial.
	Oh, well, I mean, as in, like, getting out in the community, maybe, or what?
	Because, I mean, you're definitely verbalizing a lot out there.
	Well, that's true, and people don't understand it.
	You know, I do a radio program.
	I talk to, potentially, five people, right?
	Right.
	So, people don't get it.
	You know, in real life, I'm pretty... I wouldn't say antisocial.
	Well, yeah, I am antisocial.
	I'm anti-social.
	It's like... Well, I mean, you know, that's your opinion and we all have those... What is the actual... What do they say?
	There's an expression, right?
	That visitors like fish after three days start to stink.
	Pretty anti-social, right?
	Are you?
	I don't know.
	I can't smell you over the phone.
	AT&T will have smell-a-phones shortly, I'm sure.
	Are you sure?
	I figured it would be Verizon.
	Actually, now that I think about it, that'd be horrible.
	Or do you think Verizon will beat them to it?
	You know, due to the fact that AT&T basically owns everything that Verizon used it, so yeah.
	Well, yeah.
	They now own DirecTV, too.
	Oh, wow.
	You didn't know that?
	AT&T ate, gobbled up, DirecTV.
	Oh, I bet.
	Well, think about it.
	They're the ones that put all the power lines in in order to even get it to where we're going, you know?
	Well, they put the phone lines in.
	Power Company did the power.
	All right, sir.
	Thank you very much for the call.
	Great to hear from you.
	So when we got to addiction, I heard him stumble severely.
	Now he may not have laid it out all on us, but apparently there was something there.
	So yes, we have four different lines.
	The weird addiction line, the I hate our bill line, don't be afraid now, make the call, the soulless people line, and the shapeshifters line, and that number is Uh, area code 575-208-7787.
	That's 575-208-7787.
	Let's go to Sunny on Skype.
	Hello?
	Hello, Sunny.
	Sunny, Sunny, are you there?
	I hear you, uh, Sunny apparently has left the room.
	Now, I'm trying to be patient tonight.
	I'm actually waiting for people.
	Not giving them the usual going once, going twice, gone.
	All right.
	Up to the state of Washington we go, and you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	Hello, Art.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	I was going to say, last night they had a replay of your first show of Graham Hancock and Crystal Gale, and I so enjoyed it.
	It was wonderful.
	Thank you.
	Oh, you're very welcome.
	We are glad to have put that on, and it was a good show.
	It was kind of nice to hear Crystal again, huh?
	Oh, wasn't it fun?
	That's the first time I heard it, because I didn't know you were back on the air for... Oh, I guess I caught you maybe in October, early October, or maybe September.
	I had no idea.
	I missed a couple months there, and this was just a delight.
	Thank you for doing that.
	You're most welcome.
	Now, would you like to comment on any of my weird lines?
	No, I can't fit into one of those tonight.
	Almost everybody has an addiction, though.
	Yeah, I can't think of any of my addictions.
	I've had to give up alcohol.
	That was a good one.
	I had to give that up.
	And I don't smoke pot yet, although it's legal here now.
	So maybe that'll come into my life again.
	Hey, by the way, how is that working out up in Washington?
	You know, I think it's working out okay.
	I'm just not, uh, I haven't seen any situations of anybody abusing it.
	Only a couple of times I've, I've seen people sort of fall asleep in the slow traffic, um, you know, at a stoplight or approaching the stoplight and they fall asleep.
	And I don't, you know, you don't know nowadays whether to go up and sort of like, you don't want to beep at them because they get angry.
	And so you know you sit there and you're thinking well now and they begin slowing down when they're traveling and that when they're doing that I'll I'll beep at them to get their attention but I think they're probably on pot or something.
	Yeah you beep a gun at them and these days they love to draw a gun on you.
	Well you never know you know so so I just usually if they're if they're still moving I'll boy I'll go ahead and beep at them to help them wake up but if they're sitting there No, no.
	I don't generally peek at them.
	All right.
	Well, listen, I gotta break.
	I gotta break.
	So thank you for the call, and I appreciate the fact that you liked the show.
	In the nighttime, on yet another night with a contact story, this is Midnight in the Desert.
	Now I stand here helplessly, hoping you'll get into me.
	I'm so into you I can't think of nothing else
	I want to love you, feel you Wrap myself around you
	I want to squeeze you, leave you I just can't get enough
	And if you want me real strong I'll let it go
	I'm gonna die Take a walk on the wild side of midnight
	From the Kingdom of Nigh, this is Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell.
	Please call the show at 1-952-225-5278.
	That's 1-952-CALL-ART.
	Or, North America gets us on Skype at MITD51.
	Internationally, MITD55.
	And we have, in addition to everything else, all the normal craziness.
	Serious breaking news tonight.
	A possible alien signal being received at the Parkes Radio Telescope in Australia.
	Now, you're welcome to go read the story yourself at Artbell.com.
	It doesn't say it is an alien signal.
	It says it could be.
	They actually use the word extraterrestrial.
	So we may be in a time, you know, when I'm telling you what I have been waiting for and waiting for and waiting for virtually all my life may be in the process of coming true.
	And then let us not forget, along with everything else, if you have a weird addiction you'd like to talk to, if you hate my guts, if you are a soulless person, be interested in talking to a person who doesn't think they have a soul, and or a shape shifter, Then you can call our special line designed for any of those weirdnesses.
	It is area code 575-208-7787.
	Now, I blew right through the break in the first half hour, so I'll take care of it this half hour.
	But boy, there is a lot of news cooking out there of just the kind that I love.
	I mean, I really, really love it.
	And I'm getting so many Skype calls that I cannot see who I'm about to be answering.
	They're actually covered up.
	I'm moving Skype calls as I speak.
	All right.
	Phantom, I believe it is.
	You're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hello, Art.
	How are you?
	I'm just fine.
	What an exciting time.
	It is.
	Hey, I'm hoping you had a good Thanksgiving with your family.
	Everything's fine, fortunately.
	Thank you.
	We're safe.
	That's good to hear.
	You've got the four lines that you're doing tonight, but my story kind of falls outside of that.
	I don't know if you'd be up for a call about possession.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Are you, oh sir, are you possessed?
	No, but in the past, uh, I have a friend that truly believes that I was possessed.
	Well, then maybe you were.
	What did your friend, what did your, I mean, why did your friend come to believe this?
	Well, her and I were hanging out at my house one day.
	I think we were about 14.
	I don't really remember what happened, but she says I started slamming into the walls of the house and saying weird things.
	It sounded like gibberish and just off the walls.
	I kept going up and down the stairs.
	I know that when I was 14 I was a little possessed, no question about it, but I'm not sure it was a demon.
	In your case, it sounds like it could have been.
	You might not like this part, but she refers to whatever possessed me as red because my eyes turned red.
	You're right.
	I don't like that.
	She really said your eyes turned red?
	She did.
	If I was with a girl and her eyes turned red, I wouldn't be with her anymore.
	Now, are you still with this young lady?
	Her and I are still friends.
	Friends.
	Distant friends.
	Like a call every now and then, maybe a Christmas card?
	Yeah, exactly.
	A few years later, we were doing something, and just randomly I have a little cut on my hand.
	We don't know where it came from.
	Yes.
	And it just started bleeding, just a little hole in the back of my hand.
	It has since healed, but it left us a very slight scar.
	And this just happened, um... It was about two years after the possession.
	I'm saying, spontaneously, a hole developed?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's pretty weird.
	Maybe you are possessed.
	Well, I apologize for all the noise in the background.
	I have a 24-year-old cat that wants to get on your show.
	Aww.
	He's been with me all my life.
	I fully understand.
	Take good care of him.
	Is it okay if I plug the community I'm listening with?
	Yes, it's fine.
	I am chatting with the people on Source FreeNet IRC chat in the Art Belk channel.
	Way to go, sir.
	I thank you for the plug, and yeah, all of you.
	If you want to plug the group, there are many groups out there that monitor, discuss, trash this show, whatever it is they do, you are more than welcome to plug them when you get on the air.
	But I'm expecting some serious weirdness tonight.
	So, if you have a weird addiction, if you hate me, especially if you hate me, if you are a person without a soul, I know there's some of you out there, right?
	And or if you, from time to time, shape shift, then I want to hear from you.
	And we have a special number for that.
	Uh, that number is, uh, area code 575-208-7787.
	5-0, uh, 575-208-7787.
	575-208-7787.
	5-0...
	575-208-7787.
	And now, I'm going to take the break that I did not take in the first half hour.
	I mean, when you have alien signals being received in Australia, and so much more going on, you just don't have time for commercials.
	From the high desert, and the Great American Southwest.
	You're listening to Midnight in the Desert.
	On a Friday night, to drink max, I'm Art Bell.
	It's 2 AM, and the beer is gone.
	It's 2 AM.
	One little walk, in a net, right in a big hat.
	Want to take a ride?
	Exclusively on the Dark Matter Digital Network.
	This is Midnight in the Desert with your host, Art Bell.
	To call Art, please dial 1952-225-5278.
	That's 1952.
	Call Art.
	I think Aaron has it right.
	He sends through the wormhole, strange addiction.
	I'm addicted to searching for answers to paranormal questions.
	This is what brings me to your show, night after night.
	And I believe it's your addiction as well.
	Yes, Aaron, it is.
	That is an absolute addiction of mine.
	I cop to it.
	And that's why I'm here.
	And boy, am I being fulfilled lately.
	First we have Tabby's Star, and now, from Australia, we've got the possibility of Oh, not the possibility of.
	It is what they're calling a wow signal, or equivalent to the wow signal, from the Parkes Radio Telescope in Australia.
	So if you're just catching up on things, you're going to want to definitely catch up on that.
	Let's go to Monroe, Louisiana, I believe.
	Hello, on my strange line.
	Hello?
	You talking about Monroe, Georgia?
	Georgia, yeah.
	Yep, Georgia.
	Hey Art, this is probably a little closer to your form of things, but I have a weird addiction that started about five years ago.
	Did it start slowly or did it come on all at once?
	Slowly, because pretty much me and my wife split up and instead of me going to some of my older addictions, I discovered ham radio.
	That's a good addiction.
	When I say addiction, I mean it does get in the way of my personal finances.
	I am now addicted to building 10 meter amplifiers.
	Is that 10 or 11 meter?
	Let's just say 10.
	Well, let's say it, but I think you mean 11.
	Well, you know if it works for 10, it works for 11.
	Well, yeah, there is that.
	I mean, generally.
	Not always.
	Some manufacturers put something in.
	By the way, I'm hearing myself in the background.
	Some manufacturers put in something special so that those 11 meter guys can't use 10 meter amps.
	You know that, right?
	Right, so it won't work on AM.
	Can you say treetop tall?
	I know you can.
	Well, you know, I can't help it.
	I mean, it's so bad that my own mother has seen me while I was asleep literally building and soldering with my hands up in the air like I'm actually building an amplifier.
	And the only reason I hadn't got into the ones with, you know, multiple output filtering, because I just hadn't got that good yet.
	So tell me, sir, the world of CB these days, has it become more polite or has it descended into post-apocalyptic chaos?
	If you want to get to the polite, you go over to up above channel 40.
	Alright, you know, I can't honestly talk to you in all good faith.
	My brothers out there are listening.
	But I have a love for both areas of the spectrum.
	We'll just put it that way.
	All right.
	Well, get a license.
	That's what I would say.
	Become a real ham.
	Join us.
	It'll be all right.
	Kind of like the guy told me about Windows 10.
	You will become happy.
	Let's go to Matt.
	Hello, Matt.
	Hi, Art.
	Um, first things first.
	Yes?
	I have weird headphones.
	My audio plays back.
	Can you hear me fine?
	Like, can you hear yourself through it?
	I, I hear you just great.
	Alright, awesome.
	I have a strange addiction I'd like to tell you about.
	Fire away.
	I am addicted to something known as role-playing.
	Are you familiar with Dungeons and Dragons and that sort of thing?
	Of course, yes, yes, yes.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Let me tell you, this got started way back in high school.
	I'm a, I work nine to five.
	I have all this normal life, but when I get home, I get on the forums.
	I type up all this crazy stuff.
	I go in the woods with PVC swords and my buddies.
	It's crazy.
	It feels like I'm 10, but it's amazing.
	I get it.
	No, I do get it.
	It can really take over your life.
	You know that, of course, right?
	Oh, absolutely.
	I don't even want to get started.
	Well, you've already started.
	But I mean, it really can take over your life to the point where every spare minute and perhaps you're even trying to figure out a way to play at work.
	When I'm at work, I just think about getting home and playing my half-elf ranger with a plus-one bow.
	It consumes my life.
	You have a plus-one bow?
	I have a plus-one bow in Dungeons & Dragons.
	Impressive.
	Very impressive.
	I know.
	And so you spend virtually every free minute down in the dungeon with the dragons.
	Absolutely.
	I don't think I'd change my life.
	It's fantastic.
	Do you think you'll ever get married?
	That's a good question.
	I don't know.
	Yes, it is.
	I mean, you know, if it was like The Wife or Dungeons and Dragons, then what?
	I think I'd have to, when the time comes, I'd choose The Wife, but if she's not into the whole thing like I am, it's not going to work.
	So, maybe what, you'll luck out and you'll meet this gorgeous gal online, playing Dungeons and Dragons.
	Oh, man, that'd be amazing.
	But that sort of thing only happens in, you know, the games and the movies and that sort of thing.
	That's why you need a Dungeons and Dragons dating site.
	That sounds almost as bad as an idea of a paranormal dating site, you know?
	You said it, I didn't.
	Thank you for the call, sir, and good luck with your, I was going to say life, and wife is what almost came out.
	I would say stay single, and when the real time comes, and the real gal comes, you'll know it.
	Okay, you're now on the air on Skype.
	Hello there.
	Hi there.
	Hi.
	So, I have a strange addiction.
	Good.
	What is your strange addiction?
	So, I collect pictures of this Japanese idol.
	I think I'm looking at her right now.
	Is she the gal on your Skype?
	Yes.
	Uh-huh.
	Very pretty.
	She is.
	I have over, like, two gigabytes of pictures of her on my hard drive.
	Really?
	Yep.
	Do you have any plans to travel to Japan and try and see her in person?
	Yes, I do.
	That is a little odd, sir.
	What do you expect your reception will be?
	No, wait.
	What do you hope for?
	I hope to meet her in person.
	At least see her.
	Do you think she'll look one time into your eyes and say, ohayo gozaimasu?
	It would be nice.
	Well, she's a pretty girl anyway, so there you go.
	Uh, that is kind of an issue.
	I don't want to say it's at the level of stalker, but I mean, if the police came in your house, would her picture be like plastered everywhere?
	Not quite.
	I do have a little tiny framed picture of her.
	It sits on my desk.
	Uh-huh.
	It's very subtle, but you know.
	I bet a lot of girls have that, you know, I don't want to say problem, but maybe it's really a compliment.
	All right, sir.
	Well, listen, thank you very much, and she's gorgeous.
	Thank you.
	So, good luck.
	Take care.
	I'm Art Bell.
	but a heart is never ending.
	But a heart is in the form of the waves because I hear the many eyes.
	But just in case, this might be alright.
	When I get here.
	I could see for miles and miles.
	Miles and miles and miles.
	Midnight in the Desert doesn't screen calls.
	We trust you.
	But remember, the NSA... Well, you know.
	To call the show, please dial 1-952-225-5278.
	That's 1-952-CALL-ART.
	In every way you can imagine, this is a cool night.
	We've got breaking news.
	The Parks Telescope in Australia thinks they may have received A signal from an intelligent species.
	And I'll leave it at that.
	They do make that statement.
	Honestly, they do.
	If you want to read this story, go to Artbell.com and read it.
	So this is the second gigantic story I've broken in, what, a month.
	In this category.
	And I went for decades without breaking something like this on earlier programs.
	So, I think... I think...
	I think so.
	It's exciting.
	I think it is very, very exciting, actually.
	Then we have general open lines.
	Anything goes.
	Two drink max open lines.
	We have one special line, which I invite you to call.
	Weird addiction line.
	Been quite a bit of a response to that one so far.
	The I hate Art Bell line.
	What other talk show host opens a line for people who hate him?
	The Soulless People line.
	Of course, they would fit in with the I Hate Art Bell line, but nevertheless.
	And then, of course, the Shape Shifters line.
	All of those can be responded to by calling Area Code 575.
	This is in Roswell, New Mexico, you know.
	Area Code 575-208.
	7 7 8 7 so your call is being routed to Roswell 5 7 5 2 0 8 7 7 8 7 Skype at MIT D 5 1 in the US and Canada MIT D 5 5 elsewhere on my well my multiple line you're on the air.
	Is this me?
	It is you yes.
	It is me.
	I hate Art Bell because he has a two-drink maximum.
	Did you catch yourself at the beginning of the show when you gave the rules, you said two-drink minimum?
	Well, yes, I know.
	There are some people who depend on my mistake every week for that and prove it later in the show.
	And I am without a soul.
	You're without a soul.
	Every one of your listeners is without a soul.
	You do not have a soul.
	You are a soul.
	We don't do dot, dash, dot, or dot, dot, dot, dash, dot, dash, dot, dot, dot.
	Is that SOS?
	Dot, dot, dot, dot, dash, dash, dash, dot, dot, dot, yes.
	Right.
	Because we're saying save our spirituality, we're saying save our bodies.
	Save us.
	Well, no, they're saying save our souls.
	We are souls.
	Well, isn't this a difference?
	Wait a minute, wait a minute.
	Isn't this kind of like a difference without a distinction, sir?
	I mean, you're saying... Well, it is a matter of semantics.
	And the reason that it's a matter of semantics is because it's an abused semantics.
	Did I say this was a line for semantics?
	You said it's a line for somebody without a soul.
	I don't possess a soul.
	I appreciate your sneakiness.
	Do you fit any of the other categories?
	I mean, you must have some.
	I'm going to cut that out.
	That's just, you know, the visual for that one is just... You're not really serious.
	It's more healthy.
	You're not serious.
	It's more healthy to squat.
	You are serious about that.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	There's a device now for sale.
	You can get it on the internet.
	Squatty Potty.
	I can remember the name.
	Squatty Potty, yes.
	We've actually advertised it on this program.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	And I will be ordering that.
	It'll make it a lot more convenient because From hemorrhoids, and I found out it's because of the toilet.
	Oh, well.
	And squatting was recommended to me.
	You can call it a weird addiction.
	Oh, no, it's not that weird.
	I mean, you know, your alternative certainly is, but I had to bleep that out.
	Okay, no, I'm fine with that.
	Yeah, thanks.
	I mean, you know, the visual is just too much.
	All right, thank you very much for the call.
	Somebody once said to me, gentlemen don't do that in the shower.
	And so that could give you some clue as to why I bleeped it.
	Hello there.
	Brandon, you're on the air.
	Wow.
	I know, wow, right?
	You have no idea.
	Cool.
	Well, thanks for taking my call, Art.
	I'm actually a viewer fan of you.
	I'm a time traveler as well.
	Yeah, I have a suggestion for a show first and something, like an experience to tell you about.
	Okay.
	First, my suggestion for a show, I think it'd be really cool if you did something on cults.
	They're really fascinating.
	I studied them a little bit in college and, you know, just about how people can manipulate... Now you're breaking up a little bit.
	Let me ask you a question.
	Have you ever thought of starting a cult?
	Uh, no, no.
	That would be, that would be inhumane.
	That's not right.
	That's not cool.
	But, um, but yeah, you know, I actually heard you talk about, uh, Jim Jones the other day on the show and, uh, you know, personal, personal belief is that, that, uh, Jim Jones and the whole, uh, you know, Jonestown thing was a conspiracy, but, uh, I won't get into that, but just a suggestion for a show.
	There's lots of info about it.
	Okay.
	Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Well, don't you find it odd that a thousand people would just kill themselves?
	Like, that, to start.
	Well, if you study cults, you're gonna find out why.
	Well, yeah, I mean... I don't know, I just think... Okay, well, first off, the whole Jonestown experience was... So basically, in Guatemala, a thousand people drank cyanide poison and killed themselves.
	You know, it, uh, it just, uh, I don't know, the experience, uh, sorry, the whole situation just, it's, it's very fishy.
	Like, um, the Senator, Senator Ryan, or there's a Senator who went down to investigate.
	Congressman, I think, yes.
	Yeah, yeah, Congressman, yeah.
	He went down and, uh, to investigate it and, uh, then he ended up, uh, getting killed while he was down there because people were, you know, feeding him notes that they wanted to leave.
	That's right.
	Yeah, that's just one example of a cult, but they're really fascinating, you know, like just, you know, overall cults.
	Well, okay, you know, I'll go along with you.
	It is fascinating that people will submit their will to somebody with a lot of charisma like that.
	It is, it is odd.
	And it's kind of like people are giving up everything else in their life, their own In essence, soul and willpower and everything else and giving it to the leader of the cult.
	It's true.
	Yeah, it's weird.
	Anyways, that's not why I called.
	Oh, I did want to tell you as a suggestion for a show.
	But yeah, no, you talk a lot about your experiences and you talk a lot about, you know, life after death and consciousness and definitely my favorite shows.
	You did a show a couple weeks ago with a gentleman about Yeah, I'm good.
	I'm good.
	I've listened to a lot of your shows, I've listened to them all the time, and that to
	me was the most fascinating show.
	And it really opened my eyes a lot.
	But I had a strange experience with, you know, the whole, you know, out-of-body experience.
	I've listened to some of your shows where the people kind of explain how to do it, you
	know, again, in that meditative state.
	And you, you know, you kind of find yourself in a sort of trance where you feel this very,
	very strange vibration where your consciousness kind of leaves your body.
	And it really freaked me out.
	But when it happened to me, it clicked in.
	This is an experience I had when I was a very, very little boy.
	And I went and I talked to my wife about it.
	Who, uh, who's, you know, she's a little skeptical.
	I talk about your show all the time with her and I'm trying to convert her, but it's a work in progress.
	Anyways, um, I told her about this and she clicked in and she's like, I had that same experience when I was a kid, but I couldn't really describe it.
	Really?
	Um, very fascinating.
	So I'm like, I'm interested, like, do other people have this experience?
	Like, it's a very strange feeling that you can't really explain.
	Where it's vibrational is really the best way to describe it, where your consciousness and your body are like separate.
	And it's really strange, but I think, you know, your viewers and your listeners, if they've had that experience when they were a kid, they know what I'm talking about.
	Well, I had Dr. Kaku on the show the other night.
	And he admitted, when I told him, I said, uh, Doctor, scientists have just verified lucid dreaming is real.
	And Dr. Kaku immediately, obviously up on Latest in Science, said, that's right, Art, they have.
	You know, and just a few years ago, the concept of lucid dreaming was something scientists laughed at, right?
	Oh, lucid dreaming!
	Controlling your own dreams!
	Show me proof!
	Well, now there's proof.
	Lucid dreaming is real.
	Dr. Kaku said so, and I, of course, knew about it before the program.
	It's a fairly recent science.
	But, you know, when it does finally become proven, then a good scientist is willing to admit, well, yes, it's true.
	Let's go outside the country and to Michelle.
	Hello.
	Hello, Art.
	Hi.
	Hopefully it's not too loud.
	I am sitting outside on the patio at McDonald's, giving a late lunch on my way to go take a Christmas present for my mom to the post office.
	McDonald's in Tokyo, right?
	Uh, well, outside Tokyo, but yeah.
	Outside Tokyo.
	Do you know that McDonald's, uh, in, uh, the Philippines delivers?
	When you order, uh, McDonald's... Do they really?
	Oh, yeah.
	It goes in a keep-it-warm sack on the back of a motorcycle, and you got it in about ten minutes.
	Yeah, a lot of places here do that, but not McDonald's.
	I think some of the local cafes and stuff do.
	You can get ramen.
	They've got a ramen truck that's got this special metal case that goes on the back, and they can stack it up on the back of a motorcycle.
	There you go.
	It's crazy.
	So how's everything in Japan today?
	It's going alright.
	I'm about to send my mom an iPad for Christmas.
	She's never had an iOS device before.
	She's not listening, so.
	Well, that's going to be a welcome surprise.
	I think she's probably going to love it.
	I hope so.
	She's always complaining about how she has to use her Mac to talk to me and all this kind of stuff.
	And I just thought, I'm going to make this easy for her.
	I'm sure she will say, but honey, there's so many buttons.
	What I have done is I have made a video showing her how to use it and put it on a DVD with the package.
	That's the way to do it.
	That was my thought.
	So I knew as soon as she opened it, she was like, I don't know how to use this.
	That's right.
	No, the video is a very, very, very good idea.
	And of course I recorded it with my iPhone.
	What a world.
	I know, right?
	Are you addicted to something?
	Well, yeah, actually I am.
	I've got two things I wanted to talk to you about.
	One of them is the addiction.
	I'm addicted to collecting video games.
	Mostly video games from the 80s and 90s.
	Good for you.
	I like those.
	I love them and here in Japan they've got tons of them and they're real cheap because they don't really hold on to old stuff the way they do in America.
	In America it kind of goes way up in value and here it goes down in value.
	Really?
	Okay.
	Yeah, so I've got about 350 or so old video games in my living room in my apartment.
	Neatly arranged on shelves and everywhere.
	I would love to have copies of some of those.
	My goodness.
	Yeah, and I've been recently getting into some old computer systems here in Japan as well.
	Which, they're all Japanese, but that's part of the fun.
	So, you're a hacker?
	Oh, no, no, no.
	Oh, so what do you mean by getting into?
	Oh, I see.
	Getting into is in that they're very old, like computers from the, you know, 1987.
	I was mezzing with you.
	Okay, and you have another category, Michelle?
	Not another category.
	I actually wanted to mention to you about the sort of on the lines of the signal.
	I've been doing a research project with my English conversation class here in my school about whether students believe in UFOs or aliens.
	We did a sort of a survey on it and the results were very, very surprising and even more surprising were the number of people who said they'd seen one.
	Okay.
	And so we're putting that together and maybe this is a question for Heather but at some point our class runs at the same time as your show and we'd like to see about calling and just asking you a few questions.
	I would have no problem with that at all.
	Okay, well we're, like I said, our class is on Tuesdays, and it's on around the last hour of your show, I guess.
	Okay.
	So we'll try and get that together.
	Right now I'm still getting permission on my side, but it looks like it's going to go through, no problem.
	Well, anyway, I would look forward to that.
	Try and pick your best English students.
	That's what this class is.
	It's some of my best English students.
	This is a small, maybe six-student class that, of our third-year students, can really enjoy English.
	Would you say, Michelle, that English is harder to learn if you're Japanese, or Japanese is harder to learn if you're an American?
	I would say they're both equal.
	And the reason is because they're both so backwards to each other in terms of grammar and the way they function.
	They are indeed.
	You have to actually learn to think in a different way.
	You do.
	People don't know.
	You really do learn how to just think and talk in a completely different way.
	The Japanese actually read from the rear of a magazine or a book to the front, right?
	Right.
	Unless, well, when it's printed, you know, old-fashioned vertically way.
	If it's printed in the sort of the western way, it won't be, but... Well, you mean if it's in kanji?
	Well, sometimes they'll print books, like most books are printed, you know, vertically.
	Right.
	From right to left.
	Right.
	But if they print books horizontally, say if it's an instruction manual for something, like that, then it'll be from left to right.
	So it makes it like doubly backwards, because there's two different writing systems.
	It does.
	That's exactly right.
	All right, Michelle, thank you so much, and I'll look forward to hearing from one of your students.
	I guess, on Tuesday, that should be, actually that's kind of interesting, that should be kind of fun.
	And it is such a very different culture, the Japanese culture, that, yes, as you begin to integrate with it, you have to actually begin to think of everything in a very sort of different, reverse way.
	Even socially, it's It's kind of an opposite.
	And listen, I want to remind people, I've seen several on the international line, and for that matter, the national Skype line.
	If I don't answer right away, just redial.
	Just continue to redial.
	If you begin to hear my audio, if you hear the show, that means, guess what?
	You got through.
	So hang in there, and I will get to you.
	It's a free call, so you can afford to wait a little bit.
	Let's go to Roswell.
	Uh, Roswell, really?
	Um, you're on the air.
	No, you're in Montana.
	Hello?
	Hello?
	Yes?
	Hello, Mark.
	I'm going to quit trying to identify where people are, because I only get part of it, and I keep guessing.
	Where are you actually?
	I am in Montana.
	Montana.
	Okay, very good.
	KG7?
	Uh, no, don't give your old call.
	Don't do that.
	That identifies your address, so don't do that.
	Oh, copy that.
	Well, I called in to tell you about my addiction, and it's always been radio.
	Oh boy, I get that one so totally.
	You know, it started out with transistor radios years ago, and late night I'd always try to see how far I could receive something.
	And, just recently, I got my ham radio license.
	And it's opened up a whole new thing to me, and yeah, I'm really excited about it.
	A whole new addiction.
	Trust me, Ham Radio can turn into a serious addiction.
	I understand that, and when I look at these catalogs and I see the price of Rigs and antennas and what my friends want to get me into that I've just started to get into.
	Yeah, I'm kind of worried about it, but I'm very excited about it, and I've, you know, I've listened to you for years and years, and I know you're an amateur or ham radio operator, and I'm really excited about the whole thing.
	Well then, I may catch you on the bands one of these days.
	I am indeed on the air, so there you go.
	Wonderful.
	Okay.
	It's always a pleasure to talk to you, first time caller, and it's an honor to talk with you, my friend.
	Thank you so very much, and take care.
	Yes, ham radio is, even in this modern day and age of iPhones, I've got one, wouldn't be without it, but it's not the same as ham radio.
	I mean, you can sit down after you get your license, yes, you have to study a little bit, but you can sit down at a table With a radio, and with an antenna outside, and you can talk to people all around the world, who have an interest now similar to yours.
	It is a very, very exciting hobby.
	So, I can't stress strongly enough, look into it.
	Really, look into it.
	Let's go to, I guess, Virginia.
	Hello.
	Hi Art, this is Blast Bond.
	I'd like to give a shout out to Debbie the Wise Owl and the rest of the Gang at Midnight fans group.
	Way to go.
	Way to go.
	And I'm listening on TWW, shortwave, 5085 kilohertz.
	Nice segue.
	You know, I am really having to rethink how much this program, since it started on July 20th, has gotten me spatially challenged in trying to assess all the incoming communication.
	And I think the only way to do it now is to have a lucid dream and go into an out-of-interplanetary-body experience and perfect that so that I have the vision coming from all directions, 360 degrees spherical, so I can keep one eye on Tabby's star, well, the one eye on all the stars, actually.
	I'm the one eye on the source coming from another galaxy that the Parkes Observatory is picking up.
	My home star, of course, in the Pleiades Star Cluster.
	Can you believe you're a home star in Pleiades, really?
	Right, I'm a libertarian.
	From Pleiades Star Cluster.
	So, the point I'm trying to make here is, it is quite, not just a coincidence, but an astonishing how much interstellar traffic we're getting these days.
	Well, consider, sir, consider in the last month we've had two really hot hits in this area that we haven't had in decades and decades.
	I mean, it is really exciting.
	It is, and if we're going to have any more of these, we're going to have to start assessing the way we deal with communication traffic among planets and stars.
	Yes.
	And don't forget, I'm still keeping a very close watch on this Martian crab thing, which has a bellows-like lung to compress the CO2 on Mars, which is only 1% of the pressure of Earth.
	Have you by any chance, sir, seen the dome on Mars that we've got on our website?
	I haven't looked at that, but I shall now that you've mentioned it.
	Please.
	By all means.
	I mean, this thing has got to be artificial.
	It's got to be.
	I'm seeing so much, so many car parts and assembled objects that you just gotta wonder, was there a civilization there before it was impacted, whatever, tore up one half of Mars?
	Was there a whole civilization there?
	Certainly possible.
	It seems that way.
	But the fact of the matter of looking at this Martian crab, this thing that's got a bellows for lungs and then injects a CO2 into it, algae, Well, it doesn't sound like, right now anyway, life as a Martian, as it were, would be easy.
	we would do it just puts it back and recycles it for the dollar swap.
	This is something that really teaches us how to be a Martian.
	Well it doesn't sound like right now anyway, life as a Martian as it were would be easy,
	wouldn't be an easy life.
	It'd be dreadfully cold and you know very low pressure.
	If you ever lost pressure, it'd be just the same as being out of space.
	Your blood would just boil.
	It's only 1% pressure.
	But, maybe terraforming over time is a possibility.
	We could certainly learn if that crab is a real creature and it's a living thing.
	Observing that could teach us a lot about Martian biology and how maybe to adapt to human speech.
	Well, yes.
	What was lost, thank you, can be found again, or created again.
	I, too, think that eventually, Martian atmosphere can be restored.
	I think it can be done.
	And I hope it becomes within our ability to do.
	I really do.
	Because we may need a place to go.
	The way we're treating Earth, we may need a place to go.
	Outside the country, you're on air.
	Hello?
	Hello, Mark?
	Yes, hello.
	Yeah, hi, it's Mark in Switzerland.
	Hey, Mark.
	I have an addiction.
	And that would be?
	I love to ride Swiss trains.
	It sounds like you're in a Swiss laboratory at the moment.
	Yeah, I'm... Big echo.
	I'm in the basement, actually.
	Are you?
	Yeah.
	Alright.
	I'm sorry, I missed your addiction.
	What was it?
	Riding Swiss trains.
	Oh, I totally get that.
	It must be awesome, especially up in the mountains, huh?
	Yeah, it's fantastic, and you can buy a yearly pass, and then you can ride indefinitely.
	Wow.
	Without limit.
	That does sound like fun.
	One of the best things I did in my entire life, Mark, was to ride from Vancouver to Niagara Falls, almost.
	Well, you know, on the Canada side.
	Ah, cool.
	So the train actually moved.
	Oh my goodness, yeah.
	It went right over the Canadian Rockies and that really was an experience.
	That's fantastic.
	But the Alps has got to be pretty good.
	I have to talk about the signal.
	This is very exciting.
	Yeah, please go ahead.
	I think this could be a very exciting day to prove to us that we're not alone.
	It could.
	We've got two big hits in the last month, Mark.
	Tabby's star that remains as much a mystery as the day they announced.
	And now, possibly a signal that they've described as big as the wow signal from Australia.
	And is there going to be some follow-up news on this?
	Damn well better be!
	Good.
	And I hope to hear it.
	I expect to hear it on your show.
	Well, okay.
	You can depend on hearing it here, Mark.
	No question about it.
	But, you know, it's the Parks Telescope in Australia, so this is more than, you know, some minor matter.
	It's not yet in the bigger media, but I'm thinking it will be.
	Cool.
	Well, stay tuned, Art, and I wish you a good weekend.
	You have a great weekend, Mark, all the way from Switzerland.
	So, if you're outside the country and you want to talk to us, no problem.
	Skype is free.
	Absolutely free.
	Just download Skype, put in MITD55, and no matter where you are in the world, one click, and here we are.
	It's that simple.
	Let's go... Let's go to our special line.
	Hello there.
	Hello there.
	Hi.
	All right.
	Oh, wonderful.
	You're obviously calling for one of four reasons.
	What are my reasons?
	Well, I might have had an ulterior motive here.
	Really?
	Yes, I did.
	You mean like sneaking in on a line that you weren't supposed to call?
	No, I couldn't remember what numbers I was supposed to call, so I pushed the redial from night before last, and it rang, so I said, hot diggity, I hope I got the right line.
	This is bad.
	Well, I mean, I can test you, if you would like.
	You may qualify under one of these Possibilities.
	Okay.
	Okay, so we have the weird addiction line.
	Do you have a weird addiction?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, I've got that for sure and it's about you.
	I'm addicted to your soothing voice every night and also hearing the temperature of the rest of the country out there as they call in and talk to you.
	Hold tight.
	I'll come back to you because you sound like a good guy.
	I'm Art Bell.
	To call the show, please direct your finger digits to dial 1952-225-5278.
	That's 1952.
	Call Art.
	nine five two two two five fifty two seventy eight that's one nine five two
	call art listen for all of these things i i just read stories that i get
	i have no way of verifying uh... the parks has indeed received this
	Now, could this be a false flag story?
	I've been waiting for the right time to use the phrase false flag.
	Yeah, could be, you know?
	We live in an information age and a lot of it's really twisted.
	However, it does look like a valid story to me, so we'll see.
	Hi, on the phone?
	You're on the air.
	Oh, good.
	Back on the air, actually.
	That's wonderful.
	Art, I wanted to take you back about four lunchrooms back in the day where we did a lot of faxing back and forth to you.
	I remember that.
	Oh, Lord.
	We had you bouncing around the radio shack one night, a handful of us out here in radio land.
	And it was when we were first talking about remote viewing and stuff like that, and you were adamant to the fact that you just were not too sure about it.
	And then one caller called in and said that he had remote viewed you there.
	I remember this, and I found something that I had lost.
	No, no, no.
	Yes, yes.
	Well, that was one.
	I may have been, but the one that I was involved with is I sent you a fax real quick because I could never get on on my telephone line.
	I could never call you.
	And so I sent a fax that says, okay, you pick an object, set it on the desk or on the shelf in front of you, and let us fax in pictures.
	We'll draw them up by hand of what that is.
	And you looked around and then you found What was a picture of you inside a special, I forget the frilly type frame, like a metal frame that sold.
	That's right.
	You remember that one?
	I do.
	And so I drew it up real quick and I sent it to you.
	And the only thing I messed up is I was sure Ramona was in front of you at a lower level.
	Yes.
	And I included her and then four other people.
	You were bouncing all over the room.
	It was so good.
	I was just thrilled.
	The wife was just, she was bouncing in the bedroom with me.
	And there was one just as big as that, sir.
	Somebody, I had lost something, I can't remember what it was, but it wasn't a tool, you know.
	And somebody said, open your closet, look in your toolbox, and I'll be damned if it
	I forget what the item was now, but it may have been my keys or something that I had lost, and it was there, so... No kidding.
	That still doesn't mean that, you know, I'm gulping the Kool-Aid, but it does look like there's something to it.
	Well, you know, I've done this since I was a kid, and one of my favorite things is if you take a few bounces down the road and all of a sudden you're elevated and you're flying.
	And that is just wonderful dreaming.
	Fly anywhere you want to go.
	So when I started listening to you, I would just be so into listening to what's going on, I would find myself standing outside the window of that radio shack looking at your house.
	And then one time I got in over in the corner, I think you've got a monitor mounted up there now or something, and looking down at you.
	And it was just so cool!
	And so one time I went over to a two-day thing in Las Vegas where Ed Dames was teaching this stuff, and I thought, I'm going to get really good at this.
	I didn't like the way he taught it, so I left after the first day.
	I thought, you know what, I'm going to take and come home because I live over by Sacramento.
	I'll come back through Death Valley and I'll detour through Pahrump and see if I can't drive straight to where you live.
	By golly, I did.
	I got to see your big antennas and all that stuff.
	Oh, those antennas, you said you had about 440 or something like that volts on them?
	Almost 400 volts, yes.
	Well, is there any appreciable amperage there?
	Not a lot, but there's enough.
	It could be... I've got to go, sir, regarding my antenna.
	It could be used.
	Let's put it that way.
	At the moment, I ground it.
	And I do that to protect my radios because that kind of voltage destroys radios.
	That's kind of how I found it.
	It destroyed a couple of my radios.
	So, there is enough current that, you know, it could be used to charge things.
	It could conceivably be stored.
	It's something that should be looked into, and for years, I have invited people, somebody of substance, science, to come and do some measurements on the voltage on the Santana.
	It is really substantial, and I want to know more about it, other than going out there and getting myself shocked all the time.
	So, I would like to know more.
	I can tell you this, and this is intriguing for anybody who knows a little bit about electricity and electronics.
	I have a big sort of Frankenstein switch so that I can turn, you know, actually disconnect the antenna and put it on ground during any storms.
	And I can sit there going click, click, click, click that fast, and I will get a giant blue spark every single time.
	So it's not like it has to build up.
	It's whatever it is, is always there.
	There's no recharge time for it, or at least none that I can see.
	And look at this.
	This message says, the dudes at Belgab want to know how you like your coffee art.
	What is it about Belgab?
	Those vaguely lovable people have a disturbing interest in what I eat and what I drink.
	Disturbing.
	They bugged me one day until I finally told them what I had for dinner and it's strangely Unnervingly seem to satisfy them.
	My coffee black.
	Always black.
	And why do you want to know these things?
	Alright, to Skype we go.
	Hello.
	Can you hear me?
	I hear you.
	Okay, but you gotta promise you'll believe me when I tell you.
	Why?
	I don't know if I can promise that.
	Now, you're calling on a laptop, right?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Try and get closer to the little hole in the top of the laptop where the mic is.
	Can you hear me now?
	Better?
	I hear you, yes.
	Okay.
	Because this isn't actually my computer, but I swear I'm a shapeshifter.
	Oh, good.
	Or something like that.
	Alright.
	So, let's take it one step at a time.
	This is radio.
	We've got a lot of time.
	You're able to shapeshift.
	What can you shapeshift into?
	I'm like a dog, like a dog.
	Are you a manly dog, like a German Shepherd?
	I think so, I have like a long, like a snout and yeah, I'd probably say either like a mutt, sometimes I bend.
	A German Shepherd, but mainly like mutts.
	Okay, like a mutt.
	Alright.
	Does it happen frequently?
	Does it happen at night?
	Full moon?
	Or what brings it on?
	If I concentrate hard enough.
	Because I was adopted by these real mean people.
	And I live on a farm, and if I try hard enough at night, I can turn into a person.
	So I'm mostly a dog, and I'm on the computer right now, and I'm trying to find answers.
	Okay, so you're actually more dog than person.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	And I'm trying to find answers.
	Okay, well one thing that everybody would want to know, and we all wonder what a dog's life is like.
	Well, you kind of just sleep.
	You wag your tail.
	Now, does tail wagging absolutely mean you're happy?
	Or is it just sort of a reflexive action, you know, to any response?
	Both, I'd probably say.
	Okay.
	And how do you feel about cats?
	Most dogs wouldn't say that about cats.
	Generally, I think their reaction is more negative than positive.
	Let's see, what else can I ask you about a dog's life?
	of them are kind of nice.
	Most dogs wouldn't say that about cats.
	Generally, I think their reaction is more negative than positive.
	What else can I ask you about a dog's life?
	Tell me.
	Well, half the day I'm usually trying to hide from my owners because I tell the other me
	They're very mean.
	Yeah, some people are really mean to dogs.
	Yeah, I just don't like them.
	I try to run away, but they got a shot collar, it's just... Yeah, I mean, what's that like, getting brought up short with a collar?
	Oh, that must be awful.
	On a chain, probably.
	I've been trying to research how to take it off, but it doesn't work.
	Uh, no.
	Do you ever feel like, well, biting your owners?
	I feel like they would put me down if I tried, so I haven't.
	Put you down.
	That's a way to put it, I guess, yes.
	Well, um, how about food?
	I mean, they sometimes leave out table scraps, but I usually have to eat the gross dog food, and I don't like it.
	So even as a dog, it's gross?
	It's gross.
	But you gotta eat or you'll die.
	Well, that's true.
	I'm trying to think of anything else I can ask you.
	I'm trying to be quiet because I don't want them to wake up.
	And here you're admitting that you're their dog.
	Yeah.
	That's very worrisome.
	All right, well listen, I wish I could on the spot think of more to ask you, um... Oh, shit.
	But I can't.
	Oh, God.
	What?
	They're coming upstairs.
	Uh, you're gonna have to change.
	I can't.
	I can't.
	I gotta go.
	I gotta go.
	I'm sorry.
	I gotta go.
	I gotta go. See you later.
	There he is.
	Yes, indeed.
	Well, it's Friday night, and I asked for it, right?
	The one thing I haven't heard yet is, I hate Art Bell.
	I've got the weird addiction line.
	This one line carries all these things.
	Weird addiction line, I hate Art Bell, soulless people, somebody snuck in under that one, and shape shifters.
	And we just had our first shape shifter.
	If you are any of those things, or want to talk about them, it is area code 575-208-7787.
	575-208-7787.
	I was going to ask him about fire hydrants, but I thought, nah, that's rude.
	Right?
	First time caller line, you are on the air.
	I was going to ask him about fire hydrants, but I thought, Nah, that's rude.
	Who?
	Right? First time caller line, you are on the air.
	Who?
	You.
	Me.
	Goodness gracious!
	Well, I was looking at your, listening to the thing about the, what is it, the things you're addicted to?
	Yes.
	And I'm afraid I'm, oh, since 1951 I got my amateur license, but before that, I was a kid bootlegging on the air.
	That wasn't very nice.
	But nevertheless, I'm addicted to radio.
	Well, you know, I think, frankly, most people who begin in radio start bootlegging something or another.
	I've done it.
	I admit it.
	And I think most people in radio have done that.
	Well, you know what?
	I would probably have never gotten into it as deep as I am now.
	I used to work on avionics for quite a while.
	Most of the stuff, I never went to radio school, it's all been self-taught.
	I wound up eventually working on deep sea ships, mostly.
	Really?
	Yeah, on all the telegraph gear and the radar, anything electronic on the ship, on the bridge.
	And, uh, it wound up being, uh... Uh-oh, you're starting to break up on us.
	Oh, I'm breaking up on you.
	No, now you're really breaking up on us.
	I'm breaking up on you?
	Oh, goodness.
	Dennis, gracious.
	A good radio guy will get to the bottom that quick.
	I'm on some stupid little, uh, one of these, uh...
	I was in that for years, working for Marconi, then Mackie Radio and going all over the blasted world.
	Well, it's understandable now, yeah.
	Oh, okay.
	Because I was getting ready to say that I was away from the base unit.
	Nevertheless, I was in that for years, working for Marconi, then Mackie Radio, and going
	all over the blasted world.
	But I had a lot of fun, and I still have fun, and I've got too many radios now.
	You think you've got a bunch?
	Take a look at my picture.
	Thank you very much for the call.
	It is, without question, very, very addictive.
	And I've got a lot of radios.
	I've got radios stacked in my... My wife hates it.
	She absolutely hates it.
	She... She will not... You know, she is a woman of order.
	Right?
	Everything in its place, and a place for everything.
	And she will not even look in my closet.
	Rarely do I look in my closet.
	On our special line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hello?
	Hi.
	Can you hear me now?
	I can hear you, yes.
	Yes, sir.
	I wanted to tell you that I hate Art Bell because there's never anybody on here who really explains the projection of the astral body correctly.
	And I'm here to help you with that.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Go ahead.
	If I could leave you with anything, Art, in our brief conversation is that the way to teach yourself to recognize your astral body is to auto suggest to yourself that you are going to wake up in your sleep and you are actually going to look down and see yourself laying there.
	Now, when a person does this, you actually get very excited and especially the first time that you do it.
	and maybe successive times that you do it, you will do a thing that is called repercussion.
	It's when you just instantly go back to your body.
	As long as you are a physically alive person, you will always have this mechanism.
	It's a fail-safe mechanism built into the incidents when it happens and occurs that
	just takes you right back to your body.
	It usually happens because the first time that you do it and look down and you are really
	conscious of what you are doing, you see your physical body and you get so excited that
	like I said, you repercuss.
	Well, you know, this is a little bit of a false flag call because, you don't really hate me, you just wanted to get in on this line and be able to say all that.
	Right, because I've heard so long now, people, and if I may say so, there's a very famous book that was written almost 100 years ago.
	called the projection of the astral body that was written in 1921 that goes over all the terminology that they diagnosed for the projection of the astral body.
	Also going into like where you could actually go into different times and... Alright, well look, I will try what you have suggested.
	Thank you for the call, but really you were sort of just abusing that line, frankly.
	I'm sorry about that.
	Very quickly, let's go to Skype and say hello to Ryan.
	Hello, Art.
	Hi.
	I'm up here in the state of Washington.
	Yes, sir.
	Let me mute my audio.
	There we go.
	I wanted to veer off track here for just a little bit.
	This whole show is off track.
	Don't worry.
	If there's anything I'm addicted to, it is trying to find out more about the gray aliens, the non-human EVs.
	They're not necessarily the good ones.
	But I just wanted to mention to the audience that there are now credible slides, a credible video.
	I'll tell you what.
	I've got a break coming up.
	Gray aliens, I'll hold you over.
	How's that?
	Okay.
	All right.
	Stay right there.
	He came from somewhere back here a long ago Sad about the fool girl she tried hard to recreate
	But had yet to be created Once in her life she must have just lost her mind
	Music Midnight Matter can be explored on Midnight in the Desert
	with Art Bell If using spec from your computer, please be sure to use a headset mic and call MITD-51.
	That's MITD-51.
	It is.
	How you doing, everybody?
	Open lines, anything you want to talk about goes, and we've got a kind of a quad-based line, special line tonight.
	Now, if you have a weird addiction, we want to hear from you.
	If you hate me, I want to hear from you, but it better be real hate.
	Soulless people are welcome to call that line, as are shape shifters.
	We had somebody barking at us there just a little while ago.
	The number to call is area code 575-208-7787.
	575-208-7787.
	Let's go back to Ryan.
	208-778-7575 208-7787
	Let's go back to Ryan. You're back on the air, Ryan.
	Yeah, Art, I was wondering if there's anybody in the audience that would like to view credible, possible images,
	slides, video of actual gray alien non-humans.
	Heck yeah!
	The good thing is that all you have to do is go to ArtBell.com and look up Roger Lear's
	show and look at the material that he presented on his show that day.
	I happen to know quite a bit about this case.
	Just a little background, there were seven people that witnessed a dome-shaped silver
	metallic craft over the ocean near Turkey.
	Now Roger Lear was there doing a conference and he's photographed there, he was there,
	he saw it himself.
	Yeah, that's right, I know it occurred during the conference, I know what you're talking
	about.
	Right, right, right.
	So I just wanted to put that out there because we talk about these subjects all the time.
	I'm surprised that Turkey didn't warn it and try to shoot it down.
	We'll see you next time.
	Right.
	One thing that I found out about it is that it happened over a fault line, which I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
	But one of the more interesting things about this video is it was actually filmed on mini DV cassette.
	Which is a physical film, and it's not digital, so it's very, very hard to hoax, to fake.
	You'd have to slice it up and cut it up.
	I remember it occurred during a conference.
	All right, thank you very much for the reminder.
	And he is right.
	The late Dr. Lear did indeed see and film exactly that.
	So, you may want to look into it.
	All right, on our Weird line with four possibilities you're on the air
	Hello hello yes, hello Hi, Art. I just wanted to say that I hate you you hate me
	Yes, sir. I do good and the reason I hate you is because since the early 90s. I have been absolutely addicted to
	your show and Lost sleep over it all the time
	I stay up all night long and listen to your radio show.
	So, I just wanted to say that.
	Yes, thank you.
	Well, you're the best radio host, and I love you, and it's awesome.
	All right, thank you.
	Look, that is such a false flag, four times now.
	If you're going to call the I Hate Art Bell line, for God's sakes, get up a little bit of real hate.
	Put some pizzazz into it.
	Don't use it just as a reason to get through.
	Yeah, I know it's easier to get through.
	And by the way, we will do during the last 10 minutes of the show tonight.
	People are asking for it.
	I've been doing it.
	So tonight we will do Fast Blast during about the last 10 minutes.
	And that means everybody gets to call.
	You get about 10 seconds, if you're lucky, on the air.
	Maybe a sentence.
	I thought I should explain Fast Blast.
	Maybe a sentence.
	So if you have something you want to get across, and it's really important, form it into a single sentence and get ready to say it during Fast Blast.
	All right?
	Let's go to, uh, Kennewick, I think, Washington.
	Hello.
	Teacher Chaka Nowooki.
	Boonwana Steffi Art Bell.
	Ho ho ho ho ho!
	That sounds like a Native American Santa.
	No, that was my job at the hut at Brick Nation.
	Alright, well welcome to the show anyway.
	I hate you for being on hold for two hours.
	That's fine.
	I'm actually surprised that there hasn't been a lot of people talking about your top news stories about the first contact on the radio.
	Well, you know what, sir?
	I think, number one, it takes people time to absorb this, and they go read, and we've got to figure out if it's real.
	It certainly sounds real.
	I'm familiar with that telescope.
	It's one of the biggies that look for this kind of thing.
	So, yeah, it could be real.
	You know, it's just There's a lot of reactions to this sort of thing.
	One of them is negative.
	A lot of people either get scared or they don't know what to make of it.
	It's something you've got to process.
	You know, I think it's, you know, in our mythos of like, you know, what we try to determine what first contact would be like, it's always been like, say, a physical presence or like aliens just right here.
	And we have to figure out if they're hostile Or benevolent.
	Right.
	But I mean, here's like a kind of a third option where like maybe our first contact, if it is actually an alien civilization, will be long range, you know, radio signals or some other form of communication.
	Right.
	And then, you know, it's like when we, as humans, I think it's easy to process aliens, especially if they're not really physically here and they're just out there.
	But what I was curious of, like, if there was actually a radio signal where we actually intercepted some sort of communication and then began to actually have real communications in whatever form that could be, like, I wonder what, who, would there be, like, a consensus of all the countries, or would it be just Americans?
	And then, you know, once we got further, you know, invested I don't think we're paranoid against aliens.
	I mean, it's other, you know, culture.
	I mean, right now, at least in America, there's so much, like, cultural upheaval about...
	Right.
	Well, you know what?
	This is so much overused, sir, but I do think this.
	I think that if it was a verified alien signal, that it would bring the world together to
	some great degree.
	Really?
	Yeah, I do.
	I really do.
	So...
	I don't know.
	I think we're still in the...
	I don't think we're paranoid against aliens.
	I think we're paranoid against other countries.
	Because any communication that we have with aliens, where it's radio, who's going to control
	And then you have, you know, all the, I mean, I know we have supposed and supposed allies around the world, but that's, you know, they're tentative at best.
	If some deal can be struck with, you know, an outside force with technology that will give another country's edge.
	Well, okay, think about this.
	Think about how horrible it would be if we did get in communication with aliens and all they wanted to do was speak to Putin.
	I know, or some other country.
	I'm not American-centric in that it should be us.
	I think there's a huge chance that aliens come here and they look at America with a military force that's The greatest size of all the first 10 countries combined and be like, whoa.
	I mean, they might want to just speak to the Swiss.
	You could understand that.
	Or the Belgians or something.
	Right.
	Right.
	Yeah, I'm still still there.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	I thought you were saying something.
	But no, I would just like I would just think that what I'm what I'm really interested in is if we see a culture that is maybe has superior technology, but we do not like their culture or the way they handle themselves on their own planet.
	I would be surprised if there wouldn't be some pressure to cease communication if we don't like the way in which their culture You know that's a pretty interesting question.
	you know, two distinct gender groups, like male and female, and one is like, you know, like a really...
	You know, that's a pretty interesting question. What if we got in touch with an alien race
	and it was nothing but males or nothing but females? Yeah, that's interesting.
	They didn't even understand the concept.
	I mean, there is such a thing as reproduction without members of the opposite sex being available or needed.
	Right.
	Alright, well listen, thank you very much for the call.
	That's a good point, actually, isn't it?
	Imagine that.
	If we encountered a race of beings that was different enough that they didn't require or didn't have an opposite sex, So there'd be a lot of things they wouldn't understand.
	Well, and I might add, a lot of things they wouldn't fight over.
	Cynthia, you're on the air.
	Hi, I have a couple of addictions I'd like to share.
	Certainly.
	My first is milk.
	And believe it or not, I spend more on milk than I do on tobacco every week.
	Really?
	Yes.
	Well, either you don't smoke a lot or You really drink lots and lots and lots of milk.
	Both.
	I drink about three gallons a week.
	And how much do you smoke?
	A six ounce bag usually lasts me about three weeks.
	Did you say a six ounce bag?
	Yes.
	Of raw tobacco?
	Yeah.
	And it lasts me about three weeks.
	So you roll your own?
	Well, actually I smoke a pipe, but yeah.
	You smoke a pipe?
	Yeah.
	That's how I get away with smoking so little.
	How do people react to that?
	They think it's kind of strange that a female is supposed to pipe.
	Exactly, yeah.
	Exactly.
	Oh well.
	That's life.
	It's also a strange addiction, so you qualify.
	Okay, another addiction I have is houseplants.
	My daughter tries to steer me away from any place that sells live plants.
	I understand.
	They're all over the house.
	Yes.
	Um, how many plants would you say you have?
	Um, I don't have as much as I used to, but before I had kids, I had over a hundred plants in my apartment.
	A hundred?
	In an apartment?
	Yes.
	Uh, that qualifies, totally.
	There is a lot.
	And the other addiction is, since I was introduced to your program a few minutes ago, or a few months ago, I've been listening almost every night.
	Well, that's an okay addiction.
	So... Alright.
	Cynthia, thank you, and... Have a good night.
	Keep on truckin' and smokin', I guess.
	A pipe?
	That is pretty unusual.
	You don't see a lot of women smoking pipes, do you?
	Let's go to, um, well, back to our weird line.
	You're on the air.
	Hello.
	Is it me?
	It is you.
	Obviously.
	Okay, this is Spontane.
	Howdy.
	And my addiction is to genealogy and then meeting the people that I find in history in my bloodline and having interactions with them in the dream time.
	Oh, really?
	So, in other words, you look people up, you trace your lineage, and then you have a dream and meet them?
	Yes.
	And sometimes we get along, and sometimes we don't.
	I guess that is part of lucid dreaming, huh?
	Well, that's part of dreaming.
	I don't know how I'd categorize it, but... Well, no, no, no, no.
	Lucid dreaming means you can direct your own dreams.
	Yeah, technically you're supposed to be able to do that before you go to sleep and I don't do that.
	I just go, okay, I'm going to dream tonight and what is spirit going to bring me?
	And then if they bring me one of my dead ancestors, then we have an interaction.
	Okay.
	In other words, I'm not, I'm not saying I want to meet my dead ancestors.
	It's like I'd like to, but I never know what they're going to throw at me when I dream.
	So, yeah.
	Um, so when they send a dead ancestor, it's like really cool.
	Do they, they don't actually throw things at you?
	Well, no, they, well... I mean, you're family.
	Do they do throw things at you?
	Um, we could stay on the phone for hours if I told you everything.
	So they do throw things at you?
	Um, sometimes, yeah.
	Like one of the, like one of the shadow people.
	And I had a positive experience with a shadow person, and I'd love to talk to you about that some other time when we're not off topic.
	I can only imagine.
	Yeah, it's really fun.
	I have a big time and a dream time.
	But genealogy is fascinating.
	I advise it for everyone.
	All right.
	I can't stop.
	When I start doing it, I can't stop.
	I time warp when I'm doing it.
	Right.
	And I can't stop.
	That's an addiction.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Well, thank you very much for the call.
	That's actually sort of interesting.
	She can research her family tree, come up with something she'd like to talk to, and there you go.
	Strange.
	Amanda, you're on the air.
	Hi Art, how are you?
	I'm very well, thank you.
	Good.
	Three quick things.
	Yes.
	If I may.
	I know the signals from space are very exciting, but there's another breaking story and I thought you'd have more of a personal interest in it.
	And that would be?
	I think NASA found Abby Normal on Mars.
	Yes, I know.
	I've seen the photograph.
	It does look like a mouse.
	Absolutely.
	Does it look like Abby?
	Oh, I don't know.
	A mouse is a mouse is a mouse.
	Oh, I thought there was a personal connection.
	Okay, second thing.
	Whose idea was it for the do you hate me line?
	I don't know.
	I asked for ideas earlier on Facebook and somebody suggested that one and I thought, why not?
	I was wondering if maybe you thought your stalker was that stupid or maybe hated you that much that maybe it's a trap?
	No, it's not a trap.
	I thought maybe people hate me and would like to express it, so why not?
	I think a lot of people hate your soccer, so we can goad them into revealing themselves.
	The last thing is my strange addiction.
	And again, it started shortly after your return.
	And it's to your wonderful fan group on Facebook, Art Bell's Midnight in the Desert.
	I'm addicted.
	I must be there every night.
	I get depressed if I fall asleep for one of your shows and miss it.
	Uh, wonderful, intelligent, insightful people, and uh, back in the day, I know you don't like these stories, but back in the day when we were all younger, I used to listen to you, and people in my area just, you know, maybe they'd be asleep or not interested, but I knew There were people all around the world listening and thinking about the things you were saying and dreaming along with you and everything, but now that you're back with social media, it's so interactive and it's such a wonderful community and thank you.
	And it's a wonderful addiction.
	I'm glad I'm hooked.
	Alright, well thank you and thank you for the plug.
	I'm more than happy to have everybody plug the social site that they're on.
	There are so many of them, quite a few of them actually, that sort of chat along as we do the program.
	So if you have one and you want to plug it, and you're part of it, do it when you're on the air and you will do nothing but grow your group.
	Right?
	Why not?
	Hello there on our strange line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	How are you doing, Art?
	I'm very well, thank you.
	Well, I don't know how to put this.
	I'm not a shapeshifter, but I have had an astral projecting person come into my home.
	So you've had somebody astrally projecting show up at your home?
	Yes, sir.
	And could you see, visually see them?
	Did this occur during a dream?
	Were you awake?
	How did it manifest?
	I was wide awake and the electricity in the room became so powerful.
	I actually, I thought an angel was going to manifest.
	That's what I thought because it was so powerful.
	My cat completely freaked out.
	It certainly wasn't an imagination.
	So what did this astrally projecting person do?
	They were probably here to curse me.
	To harm me.
	Well that's not good.
	No, it really wasn't.
	I'm very protected.
	I have to tell you that I am an active intercessor, spiritual warrior.
	And so, there are certain people that might try to... Well, if you're a spiritual warrior, I'm sure you dispatch them quickly.
	Actually, I think it was angels.
	I can't take any credit for it at all.
	Well, an angel wouldn't be there to curse you.
	Unless we really, really misunderstand angels.
	But according to everything I've ever seen, they're supposed to be kind, soft, loving, what have you.
	First time caller line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hello, Art.
	Can you hear me?
	I hear you.
	Hi, this is Sunny.
	I actually tried to call earlier on Skype, and I had some technical difficulties.
	It happens.
	Yes.
	Well, um, you know your, uh, the alien contacts that we may have possibly made?
	Yes?
	I think I might know who that is.
	And that would be?
	Art, it's the Seireis.
	The Seireis?
	They're flying!
	They're giving us a sign!
	Ah, the Seireis, yes.
	That was a great show.
	Um, can I plug a group really quick?
	Uh, you can.
	Sure.
	It's, uh, Art Bell Fans Undercover of the Night.
	Larkin Walkin runs it.
	She's awesome.
	Everybody in there is pretty awesome.
	The name of the group one more time, please.
	Sure.
	Art Bell Fans Undercover of the Night.
	All right.
	Yes.
	How many, how many of, how many of you are there?
	Uh, let me check really quick.
	Well, I mean, typically.
	Oh, it's a handful.
	It's actually a pretty small group.
	Um, but there are a few regulars, probably about 10 or 12 regulars.
	Okay.
	Well, then you may grow the group.
	Yes, absolutely.
	And I just recently started listening to your show and it's fantastic.
	I'm absolutely hooked.
	All right.
	Thank you so much.
	Thanks.
	Have a good night.
	You too.
	Yeah.
	Plug your groups.
	Some of them are really big with hundreds, if not thousands of members, and some of them are small and just beginning.
	Little seeds that, you know, have a little water and a little sunshine.
	They grow and they grow and they grow.
	So, happy to have you plugged when you can get through.
	Let's go to Bill on Skype.
	Hi.
	Hey, I didn't expect that.
	I've got to get my computer down.
	I know.
	Watch it.
	Run all that by me again.
	Uh, let me see.
	Okay.
	Now, when you had that sex with that guy.
	Bill, you're kind of breaking up on us here, buddy.
	Stop now.
	Still breaking up a little, but go ahead, try it.
	All that guy wanted was for people to say, Hugh.
	I hate the fact that people called up and disrespected him so much.
	We have all the proof that we're going to get.
	Look, I don't think that asking for proof is disrespect.
	Well, we have all the proof we're going to get, is my opinion.
	I mean, we have video, but like you say, you know, we can fake them too good nobody's going to believe them.
	We have documentation, but they've been redacted.
	Why would they redact?
	Why would people redact all that?
	Richard Dolan even.
	Since you have said we have proof, what proof?
	Mr. Mizzotti, since you have said we have proof, what proof?
	What proof has been redacted?
	How many documents from NASA have been redacted?
	A guy that NASA tried to pay to write a book proving they went to the moon actually gave the advance back, because NASA wouldn't give him the evidence to prove that we went to the moon, or what they showed us we went to the moon.
	Again... Is that good proof?
	Pardon?
	I think that's good proof.
	Something redacted is proof?
	Oh, am I still breaking up?
	No.
	Oh, because I just explained that, I thought.
	No, okay, the gentleman that was going to write the book to help NASA prove that what they showed us was live.
	Yes.
	But all the documents that he kept getting to go in their favor were redacted documents and he couldn't do anything with them.
	So he gave the advance back.
	Okay.
	To me, stuff like that.
	And, I mean, we could talk for three days about stuff that's funny, all the way from, you know, Carter with his hands, you know, sobbing at his desk.
	I mean, I don't know what it is that's so bad, but I thought the gentleman the other night, I thought he really was on to something and he wasn't asking anybody.
	Well, maybe, maybe he was.
	Who knows?
	But, you know, it is within the right of callers on this show To say, hey, give me some proof.
	I'm sorry I'm not buying it.
	This is an open show.
	You know, they can either buy it or not buy it.
	We just present.
	We don't... I can't guarantee what callers are going to say.
	Just like I can't guarantee what you're going to say.
	Yeah, I understand that.
	I don't know.
	Maybe I just felt a little like he was disrespected.
	But anyway, you wanted some true hate.
	I couldn't get... I didn't know what the number was.
	I'm trying to pretend like I hate you.
	Oh, I see.
	I'm giving you my best shot.
	Alright, well thank you very much for the call.
	You're welcome.
	And you have one as well.
	Look, this is a different kind of program.
	The calls we have, as you know, are not screened.
	I don't control, nor do I try to control, what the callers say.
	If their BS meter is going off the scale, they have a right to say so.
	And I'm not going to stop that.
	That's all I can say.
	It's an open talk show.
	Hello there.
	You're on the air.
	Hey, Art.
	How's it going?
	Going well, thank you.
	Hey, I've been listening to you for a long time, and I've called in a few times, but something recently jogged my memory.
	I wanted to ask you about it, and I haven't really seen any updates on it online.
	I check in every so often, but it's John Teeter.
	I was wondering if there's anything new about him.
	Absolutely not.
	John Tudor has not poked his head into 2015 yet that I'm aware of.
	I guess it wouldn't be an addiction, but it's kind of a little obsession with mine is that whole thing that happened with him back in 2000 and 2001.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	I mean, if you're asking if there's anything new, no, there's not.
	Yeah, it was a really interesting occurrence.
	It's something that keeps me coming back to that every so often.
	Okay, well, keep coming back.
	If I hear from him, you'll be the first to know.
	We'll get it on the air, you bet.
	Outside the country on Skype, you're on the air.
	Hello, Mike.
	Hello!
	Hi, you are there.
	I am here, yeah.
	Okay, good.
	Where are you, Mike?
	Where are you, Mike?
	I'm in Northampton in UK.
	Okay, very good.
	What's up?
	Uh, yeah, it's just, uh, this, uh, fast radio busts.
	I'm sorry?
	What was that, Mike?
	Uh, yeah.
	The news story you have... Yes?
	...about fast radio busts, uh... Bursts, yes.
	...from Australia?
	Yes.
	Yep.
	Um... This has been, uh, debunked already.
	Already?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	It was caused by a microwave oven.
	No.
	No, Mike.
	The old, uh...
	One of the old signals that was associated with that same sort of fast burst was, in fact, debunked as microwave ovens being opened prematurely.
	That's in the article.
	That's in the article.
	But not in this new one.
	Okay.
	Well, I'm... I've been educated.
	I apologize.
	No problem.
	Thank you for the call.
	They mention it, as a matter of fact.
	In the article, one of the older signals that they thought they had that was really good was to vote.
	And it was, in fact, people opening microwave ovens too quickly.
	That sent out a signal on, what, 2.4?
	2.4, big signal on 2.4.
	That's where that radiation is.
	Oh Okay, folks.
	Coming up on a break.
	We'll be back in about seven.
	We will, we will rock you!
	We will, we will rock you.
	Oh baby, I'll take you down, I'll take you down.

	Hi.
	Hello, Art.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I've been listening to you for about 20 years, and this is the first time I've called in because I thought it was something of paramount importance.
	Okay.
	Alright, so I kind of wanted to call in on the soulless person line, but I thought that I do have my moments of soul, but for the most part, I live in total ambiguity.
	Well, you say you have moments of soul?
	Moments of soul.
	It all started about 18 months ago.
	I was just at work.
	I'm currently self-employed, but at one time I worked for somebody else.
	I came home and started to have a lot of different symptoms.
	Symptoms that were unexplainable.
	Like what?
	Forgetfulness, tremors in my hands.
	A lack of the ability to sleep, restlessness, anxiety.
	That doesn't sound like a soulless experience.
	It sounds like a go-to-the-doctor experience.
	Well, at the end of the 18-month period of time, I was mindless.
	Completely mindless?
	Mindless, like a block of clay in my head.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	The doctors looked at me and they couldn't come to a conclusion.
	I went to an ophthalmologist.
	My eyelids were all swollen and puffy at the eyelash line.
	And then I found out that someone had come in during the day and installed a smart meter on the other side of my headboard of my bedroom.
	Smart meter?
	Why would that be inside?
	You mean it was outside?
	Yeah, the electric meter that registers the usage on the house.
	So are you suggesting that the smart meters stole your soul?
	Yeah, it puts out borderline microwave frequencies that my head was 36 inches from.
	Now I can barely drive to Walmart now.
	God, that is a disability.
	Well, I don't know what to say.
	Have you called the electric company to complain?
	Yes, I have.
	And what did they say?
	I mean, I'm sure you said, look, your meter is just on the other side of my bed, and it's taking my soul, and I want it back.
	Well, the reason I say it has made me soulless is because I have trouble putting thoughts together, and if I'm watching a movie that's really good and everybody in the room thinks it's really good, I just walk out.
	Yeah, just kind of in my own little dialect.
	But I wanted to let you know that they did say that there was an opt-out that was able, because there were so many complaints of people saying that they had Different effects from the microwave pulses that go on continuously with these meters.
	And I didn't know anything about it.
	I thought a smart meter was just something that transmitted the usage over the hard wire lines.
	That is the idea, yes.
	Actually, it transmits through the air, I believe.
	Right through my brain.
	I get it.
	All right.
	Well, I'm sorry to hear it.
	And I'm glad that you were able to opt out.
	Now, I don't know that that means you got your soul back.
	Uh, Dr. Strange, hello.
	Hello.
	How are ya?
	Okay, sir.
	Um, remember when you asked Richard Payne and you asked your fans to help?
	When what?
	I'm sorry.
	Uh, you asked your fans to make it rain in a certain area?
	Oh, yes.
	Yes, yes.
	Yeah, well, I want to tell you that don't you worry about the shadow people, or anything like that, or the people in your backyard creeping around, because your fans and I are all 100% behind you, sir.
	Very kind of you.
	By the way, the other host that tried that, it didn't work out so well for him.
	Um, no, huh?
	No rain?
	Anyways, my story, what I called about, is about Lake Erie Monster.
	Okay.
	So when I was a child, I was fishing with my dad and he was doing a project for Public Works Canada.
	On Lake Erie.
	This is on the Canadian side, right?
	Okay, real quick, because we have to go to... Okay, anyways, we saw this thing, and it looked like it was spiraling, like, uh, I thought it was dolphins jumping, but I was 11 years old.
	Sure.
	Uh, the fisherman beside me looked at it and dropped his fishing pole into the water, because he was so shocked.
	Like, this thing was out at the distance when it goes gray into the far distance, like when you see an oil tanker out there.
	Right.
	But it was coiling A coiling around, and you could see the coils of this thing, like, going through the water.
	So this is huge.
	Sounds like that thing on the commercial that picks up the golfer.
	Oh, I knew you were going to make a joke out of this.
	I'm not joking.
	I mean, that's kind of what you're describing.
	Well, it was huge, though, Art, and it was a sighting that many people saw it, and it was very shocking to us.
	It was some kind of a serpent creature on the way out there and there's all kinds of Indian legends from the natives that say that it'll take the children in and we have a lot of people missing.
	You gotta watch out for the undertow.
	They say it could be the undertow but Could be the monster.
	Could be the monster as well.
	Alright, well thank you very much.
	There is a commercial, I'm sure you've all seen it, where the golfer is grabbed and anyway.
	Here comes Fast Blast.
	Now what I'm going to do is just keep taking calls as quick as I can.
