unidentified		Hi, Desert and the Great Americans.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I bid you all good evening, good morning, good afternoon, and welcome to once again another edition of Midnight in the Desert.
		All 25 time zones, I guess there's 25 out there, covered like a blanket by this program.
		My name is Mark Bell.
unidentified		Oh boy, Fridays are for fun.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But we'll get to that in a minute.
		When I was so absorbed, we had a little trouble before the show.
		Keith's zip unit, the zip unit down there.
		The way this show is sent is from here to Keith by what's called a zip unit made by Telos, amazing machines.
		And his went belly up.
		It just said, I quit, I die.
		And so I actually thought for a while it was not going to be on the air tonight because it wasn't going to work.
		And then we got it working.
		Then I decided, well, I'm going to listen to You're the Cat because I love the sack so much.
		And I got so carried away that I went right past, you know, I did a nice time check at 57 and then zoomed right past the opening by about 10 seconds for the show.
		So that's probably the kind of night it's going to be tonight.
		It's open lines.
		Now, we have three rules on Friday nights.
		No bad language.
		One call per show, except at the end.
		When we do, fast blast at the end of the program.
		All rules.
		Yeah, what the hell.
		All rules go out the window when we do FastBlast.
		So there you get to say one sentence.
		We're going to have a FastBlast talk tonight.
		A special the talk segment for FastBlast at the end.
		So let me begin with the news, and then we'll get to the weird, okay?
		It obviously was, as I told you the other night, it would turn out to be ISIS-inspired, if not directed-inspired.
		The FBI announced Friday it is investigating the mass shooting at a Southern California office party as an act of terrorism.
		But the agency's directors said there is no indication that the slain husband and wife who killed 14 were part of a larger plot or members of a terrorist cell, per se.
		While authorities did not cite specific evidence that led them to the terrorism focus, U.S. law enforcement officials revealed the wife, Tashfin Malik, it is, Tashfeen Malik, had under a Facebook alias pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group and its leader, just as she did as she picked up the gun to shoot people.
		A Facebook official said that Malik praised Islamic State and opposed at 11 a.m.
		Wednesday, that's when all this happened, when the couple were believed to have stormed a San Bernardino social service and opened fire.
		So as I told you on Wednesday, and I tell you again tonight, it's here.
		It's in the homeland now.
		So they also destroyed hard drives in the apartment.
		They destroyed smashed cell phones.
		So obviously trying to get rid of evidence.
		It was interesting.
		The landlord in their building invited the, and there was no reason he couldn't do it, but he invited the press in.
		Here's how the story goes.
		He invited the press in, and boy, did they go in to take pictures of the apartment.
		I think it had been turned over by the FBI.
		Nevertheless, the story goes that after he did that, a black SUV, it's always black, right?
		Always an SUV, pulled up, scooped up the landlord and took him away for, I don't know, a discussion.
		I'm not sure.
		You know, whatever.
		As investigators search for any motive behind the deadly rampage in San Bernardino, politicians are searching for a way to talk about it.
		The details of the California massacre are pointing now to Islamic militants, of course, raising questions about domestic extremism, quickly knocking both Republicans and Democrats straight off their talking points, upending what has become a grim and predictable ritual in American politics.
		Democrats who vowed to use every mass shooting as a moment to call for new gun laws were temporarily tempering their rallying cries.
		Republicans, who point to mental health services as the solution, had begun to blame extremist views.
		This is interesting.
		The lighting in here is dimming.
		So in other words, the talking heads that normally go on CNN and Fox either to call for confiscation of all these awful guns are caught in a position now, since it's international terrorism, where they're not sure what to say because it sounds a little silly to be talking about collecting all the guns, right?
		If this is international terrorism that, frankly, in San Bernardino, where probably nobody except cops had guns, it might have been stopped or lessened.
		So those liberals had to go away and rethink their points, their talking, get new talking points.
		But the very serious side of this is it's here now.
		And I guess a mass Shooting is a mass shooting, is a mass shooting, right?
		In the end, people are dead.
		It's awful, horrible.
		People have such little regard for human life, huh?
		Oh, hey, girls, the government is deliberating whether to propose selective service changes that would make women eligible for the military draft.
		One, two, three, four.
		The White House said on Friday.
		They really are.
		The Pentagon says it will no longer bar women from combat jobs.
		So in other words, ladies, if war comes, you could be drafted if this were to change, put into a uniform loaded down with usually many pounds of equipment, get your gun, and go off to war.
		Now, the latest country to decide it will bomb ISIS over Syria is Germany.
	Germany stepped up its contribution to the fight in the Islamic against the Islamic State on Friday, with lawmakers overwhelmingly voting, as did Great Britain, in favor of sending reconnaissance jets, a tanker plane, and a frigate.
	So I'm starting to think with all the countries flying jets over Syria, it's going to be busier airspace than LAX on a busy day.
	You know?
	How are they going to keep everybody separated?
	It's going to be pretty crazy.
	This is from the internet.
	Flying humanoid over Indonesia may be Orang Bati.
	That's what they call it, according to Mysterious Universe.
	Now, that's a headline you don't really see every day, right?
	Flying Human.
	Any follower of Fortune news stories knows that flying humanoids aren't anything new, although they turn out to mostly be hoaxes.
	But there is an orangbati, you ask.
	Pretty much exactly what it sounds like.
	A legendary creature that is part orangutan, part bat, and part human.
	Question mark appropriately put after that, or maybe just a giant bat.
	Well, okay, so on an open lines Friday night, literally anything goes.
	No bad language, right?
	One call per show until the end.
	Two drink maximum.
	Let me give you the numbers, and then I've got just a couple of more things that I want to get out here real quickly.
	Our public number, this is the one you're going to want to write down, right, and be really sure that you've got it right, is area code 952-225-5278.
	Once again, national number, good for all.
	Area code 952-225-5278.
	Whatever you've got to say, fair game.
	Now, we have a first-time caller line.
	If you have never called this program before, here it is.
	Area code 775-285-5800.
	That's 775-285-5800.
	And now I will establish a special line tonight.
	We're going to call it the Inhuman Encounter Line.
	Now, what I mean by that is those of you who have come face to face with something clearly not human.
	That could include anything.
	It could include greys.
	It could, well, all of them.
	Anything clearly not human.
	Now, that doesn't mean your dog or your cat, right?
	Or a cow down the street.
	We're looking for, obviously, something human-like but not human.
	Does that make sense?
	Probably not.
	Oh, I spoke to John Lear earlier tonight, and I would like to wish John Lear happy birthday, John.
	John is now 73 years old.
	So, hey, John, happy birthday.
	John said he wants to come on.
	He's got a lot he wants to tell us.
	He's not feeling real well these days, but it is his birthday.
	So he decided he's had our not tonight.
	Maybe next week.
	We'll sort of check on John next week, see how he is.
	But John Lear, 73 years old today.
unidentified		Let's see, there was something else.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		I was really entranced with the Todd Robbins show the other night.
		I don't know how many of you heard Todd, but what an amazing man.
		Just absolutely amazing.
		It's like one of those things I can't get out of my mind.
		So I'm not saying I'm going to do it.
		I'm saying I'm thinking about it.
unidentified		I've got a light bulb right here.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I tried to show it briefly earlier on Periscope.
		Listen.
		That's not going to tell you.
		There you go.
		My light bulb.
		You know what it says on top of it?
		It's hard to read because it's almost worn off, but it says 700 lumens, and above that it says, appropriately, Hungary.
		Now, I'm fairly sure that Hungary is the country in which it was manufactured, but I'm not positive about that.
		The 700 lumens part, I am.
		I don't know what that equates to.
		Maybe 65 watts, something like that.
		It looks like about a 65 watt standard light bulb.
		And I figured this.
		Look, if Tony Robbins can eat a light bulb, why not me?
		I listened, and I've watched the video several times now, training myself.
		And obviously, what you have to do is bite it right near the metal base, right?
		And then try and eat the rest of the thing, which is going to take a little bit of effort.
		But I think the base bite is going to be the hardest part.
		So, hear it?
		There it is.
		So, maybe we'll get to that.
unidentified		I'm trying to work up the nerve.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But, you know, when I saw printed on the top of it, hungry, I thought, yeah, baby.
		Got to do it.
		It's the right one.
		It's calling to me.
		It says, hungry.
unidentified		Hungry?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		There should be a question mark after that.
unidentified		Hungry?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Anything goes open lines.
		It's Friday night.
		Good luck to us all.
unidentified		Good luck to us all.
		You'd think that people wouldn't have had enough a silly love song.
		I don't see it gone all day.
		See it gone all the way.
		Nothing but a heartache.
		Hey, hey, hey, hey.
		The clock strikes 12, and Midnight in the Desert is pounding Package Your Way on the Dark Matter Digital Network.
		To call the show, please direct your finger digits to dial 1-952-225-5278.
		That's 1-952.
		Call Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, man, every line is full except my special line.
		Now, come on.
		The inhuman encounter line?
		You mean to say we have no people out there that have encountered a gray?
		Or a scaly one?
		Or somebody, anybody who's had an inhuman encounter.
		This is a face-to-face encounter with something clearly not human.
		It could be, I don't know, vampire, an alien, a hybrid, humanoid, any humanoid, well, not any human, but humanoid.
		And she has, please don't eat the light bulb.
		Well, I don't know.
		I don't like that.
		If he can do it, I can do it.
unidentified		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And the rest of the talk is, you can get us on Skype tonight if you wish.
		If you're new to the program, Skype is the way to go if you get it right.
		So this is the master talk tonight.
		If you have an iPhone or if you have an Android, lesser, but still nice.
		You can download Skype.
		It's free.
		Absolutely free.
		When you get it installed, become familiar with it.
		It's a free program, and you can call around the world with it.
		When you get into Skype, you add us as a contact.
		That's right.
		You actually add us as a contact with a little plus sign there.
		Push that and then put in, if you're in North America, M-I-T-D 5-1.
		M-I-T-D-5-1.
		If you're outside the country, outside North America, that is M-I-T-D-5-5.
		M-I-T-D 5-5.
		That's worldwide, and it's free.
		You could be other side of the planet and call us up free of charge.
		It's, you know, what a deal, huh?
		So, it has a lot of news.
		You can comment on the news if you wish.
		It's pretty dire.
		It was ISIS.
		We've got it here at home now.
		And or you can come and...
		Somebody who has encountered something non-human.
		Hello, you're on the air.
		First up, actually.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, Art.
		Good to hear your voice.
		This is Tim from Colby.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hey, Tim.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		And I just wanted to share one with you.
		I heard you said no one was calling on this line, so I'll tell you about a story that happened to me when I was about 15 years old.
		I was out driving around with a friend, and it was probably about 2 o'clock in the morning.
		It was his first car.
		And we get pulled over because we're swerving, and the cop checks us, makes sure that we're not drinking or anything.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, women, you're swerving.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why are you swerving?
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		It's 2 o'clock in the morning, and we're in high school, so we were out late just goofing around.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, sometimes you swerve for fun.
		I've done that.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		Well, and, you know, kids working around on a car, it's bound to happen.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I still do it as an adult.
		You know, I'll press the gas and let go and press the gas and let go.
		And I'll say, oh, my God, our car is going.
		My wife will look at me like, not again.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		You don't still have that GeoMetro, do you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No.
unidentified		But up until recently, we did.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		Okay, well, getting on with my story here, she told us to pull over, get some air, take a break.
		We go to a local park that's out of the way, and there's a little creek area out there.
		We pull up and we find like 24 beers, and we don't touch them, but we go down by the creek just to stretch our legs and get some air.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wait a minute.
		Wait a minute.
		24 beers sitting all by themselves, just abandoned.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		It was sort of harvest season around here, and I guess a farmer crew or someone had left them here at this park.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Damn near a paranormal story already.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		Well, the guy I was with wanted to scoop them up, but we figured if they were still there and the cops hadn't shown up to harass us again, we might.
		But we're walking down to this creek area, and there's some trees, and something just didn't feel right.
		We both got the feeling that we were being watched.
		And as time progressed, we are starting to get a little closer, and we both swear we see a pair of eyes staring at us from a treetop.
		Seriously.
		And yeah, and they were red.
		I know how much you like that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Not at all.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And from a treetop, even worse.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		Well, and they were, it was odd because they were farther spaced apart than a human's head would allow.
		So whatever it was either had eyes that were really far to the side or something.
		But we watched this thing jump from tree to tree.
		And when we saw that and we got a better view of whatever this thing was, it was fully humanoid in shape, But it made an impossible leap.
		It was probably about 20 feet from tree to tree.
		And, you know, this is Kansas we're talking about here.
		We don't exactly have any apes or anything like that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Could you get a sense of the size at this point?
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		I would say it was at least six foot.
		And long legs, long body structure, looked like it was really muscular.
		We fled in terror, didn't mess with the beers, got in the car and just got the heck out of there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah, something like that could have absolutely prevented you from reaching full adulthood.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
		We were both fearful for our lives with that night.
		We were driving and this thing chased us.
		We went down a dirt road and we were trying to get back to my house and this thing chased us.
		Airborne.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, God.
		I thought the story was over and you were out.
		Now you're saying it's after you and it's airborne on top of everything else.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		And it's airborne and it's muddy roads and we're driving as fast as we can to get back to my house, trying to find some safe place.
		Looking out through the sunroof, we could see this thing dive bombing towards the vehicle.
		And it was scary.
		And a little 86 Mustang, I'll never forget looking up through the sunroof while my friend drove and seeing this thing.
		And there's nothing we could do.
		The roads were completely muddy.
		If we stopped, we were stuck.
		We just had to stay the course and keep on driving and hope that this thing didn't run us off the road.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's incredible.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		At its closest point in dive bombing you, how close was it?
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		10 feet, 5 feet.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's really close.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, could you make out details, more details, when it was that close?
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		It was really dark and we were really panicked.
		I couldn't make out.
		I thought it was smooth.
		I didn't see any sort of hair on it.
		But I couldn't make out any sort of colors.
		It was a dark night.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That is so freaky.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and I found out later that that site, when they were excavating it to be a park, they were finding burial skulls.
		It was an old American burial ground.
		So I'd kind of settled years later on thinking maybe this thing was some sort of a guardian.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, Ruio sounded like a guardian to me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Shining red eyes and dive bombing at you and chasing you while you're driving.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		Well, he would probably sense we were up to no good.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		So I'd take some solace with that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Maybe with its beady red eyes, it looked down, saw the beers, and thought, man, these guys are going to get in such trouble.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Here, let me just scare the you-know-what out of them.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		It's either that, or maybe he wanted them for himself.
unidentified		It's hard to say.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Thank you very much for the call.
		That was a good, very good initiation of the Inhuman Encounter Line.
		Once again, those of you who have had some kind of face-to-face encounter with something clearly not human, that could include a lot, couldn't it?
		Let's go to pronounce it for me, Aisa?
unidentified		Aisa.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Aisa.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi, Aisa.
unidentified		Hi, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, you sound far away.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Are you on a speakerphone?
unidentified		No.
unidentified		Can you hear me now?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right, get closer, closer.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you're in a vehicle of some kind, right?
unidentified		Yes.
		Okay.
		We're calling from Pahoa, Hawaii.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		From Hawaii?
unidentified		We love your show.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
unidentified		We just wanted to suggest a really good question.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We're not going to allow people to put websites on the air.
		And I'm going to tell you why, because I was trying to be more liberal about it.
		But a few weeks ago, somebody called up with a triple X website and put that on the air.
		And so I know what you gave me is not Triple X, but we're just going to initiate that policy.
unidentified		Okay.
		Well, we love your show, and thank you for being back.
		Well, how's everything in Hawaii?
		Awesome.
		We have a dengue fever scare, but other than that, it's pretty cool.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where I lived in the Philippines, we went through that all the time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We got dengue bulletins.
unidentified		I'm actually Filipino.
unidentified		I was born in Cebu.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, then you know.
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		There's a lot of dengue over there, and there's really no treatment for dengue fever.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		They're talking about some kind of inoculation someday, but that someday, right now, if you get dengue, you either live or you die.
unidentified		Oh, geez.
		I don't think it's that serious.
		The grave that's here isn't that bad, I hope.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, listen, your white cell count goes berserko, and, you know, kids especially die from dengue.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		They do.
unidentified		Oh, my gosh.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You didn't know that?
unidentified		No.
		I thought it was just you got sick for, you know, a short amount of time, and that was it.
		Unless you get all four strains, I don't think it's that serious, right?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, maybe the Hawaiian strain is less of a strain.
		I don't know.
		But I really do think it's dangerous no matter what.
		Dengue is bad stuff.
unidentified		Well, that's bad news.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you have a lot of mosquitoes in Hawaii now?
unidentified		Yes, they're everywhere.
		It's impossible to not get bitten.
		So every time you get bitten, like in the middle of the jungle.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, in the middle of the jungle.
		Cool.
		Thank you for the call.
unidentified		Thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Stay away from bank game.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Bad, bad, bad stuff.
unidentified		I know that you have, cause there's magic in my eyes.
		I can see for miles and miles and miles.
		Look at us, but do not touch.
		Pedro is my name.
		Thank you.
		Midnight Matter can be explored on midnight in the desert with our power.
		If you see Skype from your computer, please be sure to use a headset mic and call MITD51.
		That's MITD51.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's right.
		Outside the country, MITD55.
		Then we're on your contact list.
		You push the button and call us free of charge.
		Anywhere in the world.
		Just don't use the speaker mic, please.
		Don't do that.
		Don't sound awful.
		Trying to do a lot of Skype education here.
		Again, happy birthday, John Lear, 73 years old today.
		Spoke to him earlier.
		He may be with us next week if he's feeling well for at least an hour, something like that.
		All right, my one line is open.
		That's the only one open.
		Nobody with the guts, huh?
		Nobody else with the guts.
		It is my inhuman encounter line.
		That's what I'm calling it.
		It means that you have a story to relate about a face-to-face encounter you had with something clearly not human.
		If you have a story of that caliber, call me now at area code 575-208-7787.
		Again, 575-208-7787, the only line that's not filled at the moment.
		The first time caller line is, though, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		Hello?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
		Oh, excellent.
		You made it to home.
unidentified		Sorry, yeah, I had your own speaker waiting.
unidentified		I understand that you're doing the face-to-face with aliens or possible.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Not necessarily aliens.
		Something not human.
		I don't want to limit it to aliens.
unidentified		Okay.
		I don't have that story tonight.
		Mine was going to be something about what I experienced, which I thought I had a death experience that was unusual.
		But it's not.
		It happened about five years ago.
		And during my sleep, I had been diagnosed with sleep apnea, hadn't been using my machine.
		I was back on the East Coast.
		And during my dream, I'm on a jet, and I'm looking out.
		There's no one on the jet.
		It's pure white outside the windows, like you might see if you're above the clouds.
		And I could actually see out the cockpit.
		It was open.
		And I went to get up, and a voice said, sit down, Dave.
		And I sat down.
		And the next thing it appears is that we just landed somewhere.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm a little bit confused.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You said you were in a passenger seat, right?
unidentified		Correct.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But you could see out the cockpit.
unidentified		I could see out the cockpit as if the door was open.
unidentified		I saw no people, no pilots.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, oh, oh.
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		The jet was moving, and the normal sounds you might hear seemed to be there, but not as dramatic, say.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		And then when I saw the side, you know, the door open, I got up again, and they said, Dave, it's not your time.
		And I woke up, and I had never felt the feeling of complete relaxation, complete at peace.
		It was indescribable.
		I would love to experience that feeling again, but not if it's what I thought it was, which later, talking with a few people, said you probably died and came back.
		It wasn't your time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
		Well, people with that problem, of course, can stop breathing and then spontaneously begin again, or because somebody up above said, it's not your time, start your breathing.
		Anyway, very cool story.
		I wouldn't be so calm and collected when I looked up through the cockpit and saw no pilots.
		I would be really concerned at that point.
unidentified		I appreciate your call.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I would.
unidentified		Well, thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right, thank you.
		It is what it is, right?
		But I just cannot imagine looking up, seeing the empty seats, and probably with the stick, you know, kind of randomly moving back and forth.
		Or is that too much detail?
		Or maybe the altimeter spinning down.
		Anyway.
		Let's go to Marie.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hello, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where are you, Marie?
unidentified		I am in Spokane, Washington.
		Okay.
		And I have been listening to your show since I was nine years old.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And so now you're up and collecting Social Security, right?
unidentified		No, I'm 32.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, everybody just cannot resist to say something to make me feel my age.
unidentified		Yeah.
		It works out perfectly.
		You sound like you did when you were back in the 90s.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Actually, I do, don't I?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And even maybe a little better because the audio is much better.
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, anyway, what's up?
unidentified		Oh, not too much.
		Well, I had a strange experience when I was younger.
		I don't know if it had to do with UFOs or whatnot, but when I was nine years old, I had an encounter with an alien.
		I thought it was all a dream until I woke up and there was blood on my arm.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, when you began the conversation, you said you didn't know whether it was an alien or not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And then you said when you were nine, it was an alien and there was blood on your arm.
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So did the alien bite you or what happened?
unidentified		I don't remember.
		Was it your blood or the aliens?
		It was my blood, most certainly.
		But when I woke up, I, you know, I went and went, when is this?
		And I was standing, my bed was on one end of the room.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		Window was on the other side.
unidentified		So I was standing up window.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Thank you very, very much for the call.
		And I guess there is no answer to what the alien did to you.
		I mean, were there any physical marks on your body or anything?
unidentified		I couldn't remember.
unidentified		I was so young that I couldn't remember, Mr. Brow.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Gotcha.
		Okay, well, I appreciate the story.
		Thank you.
unidentified		What do you all make out of that?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A little bit of a nosebleed, maybe, and a big imagination.
		I don't know.
		But she did say alien, didn't she?
		So, Anything Goes Friday nights.
		The rest of the week, we do very serious guests, as you can tell.
		Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
		Fridays come.
		It's Anything Goes.
		Whatever you want to talk about is fair game.
		On our special line, somebody who met something eye to eye, face-to-face, you're on the air.
unidentified		Where are you calling from?
unidentified		Would that be me you're talking to?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That would be you.
unidentified		Oh, nice.
		I am calling from Lockport, New York.
		My name is Steve.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, Steve, for the education of all who plan to call this show, when I answer the phone, you will hear a little ding sound, and then you'll know that's me picking up the phone line.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Did you hear that?
unidentified		Yes, sir.
unidentified		That's why it had me curious.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, well, that's the tip off that you're on here.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Anyway, go ahead.
unidentified		Thank you.
		Tuesday morning, August 16th, 2011.
		I woke up next to my wife, laid in bed, rolled over on my back, and up in my ceiling in a, what I'm going to call like a vortex with a black square hole.
		And inside it, where the ceiling should have been, about a foot, foot and a half, was orange eyes.
		They never blinked.
		I could barely make out the outline.
		It looked like a head.
		And I know it was alien.
		It actually walked up my body.
		It lasted about five minutes.
		And I watched the eyes go away from me at that moment.
		And the blackness retreated, and the ceiling came back, and my body became on froze.
		And I was able to get up.
		I yelled at it, told it never to come back, and then I realized what it was a couple minutes later.
		And I think I had an opportunity to possibly talk with a being from another planet, and I blew it.
		Maybe you can give me some insight on why or how these beings are visiting us and why they're doing this.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, in this case, I sensed that the being that you encountered was going to tell you and just you the secret of how to save the planet from complete, utter destruction.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But as you mentioned, sir, you blew it.
unidentified		Well, here's something to tinker too.
		At that time, I had two artificial discs in my cervical spine.
		I also possibly thought, like six months after that happened, that maybe there was something with these discs where maybe they were part of a government test.
		Maybe they were projecting something through my spinal cord into my brain.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's quite a guess.
unidentified		Is that a feasible option or no?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I'd go for no, but, you know, your story is really good, and I can just imagine looking up to the ceiling where the ceiling should be.
		There's essentially a hole and a blackness in orange eyes.
		Yikes.
		I appreciate your call, sir.
unidentified		Here's the funny thing.
unidentified		Now, I told this to my pain management doctor because I have a non-social security disability.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		My bet he cut down your dosage, right?
unidentified		No.
		They told me the medicine that they had me on, which is painkillers, could not cause hallucinations.
		They had me whisked in for surgery, and those discs were removed that following November.
		I didn't even have to have a pool.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So now you're putting the capper on it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're saying, all right, so the doctor realized the discs did have something to do with your encounter and had them removed.
unidentified		They took them out and they fused my neck at those two locations.
		I told the pain management specialist this.
		It was my spinal surgeon who got the authorization and no time flat for the surgery after I had told them that it's pain management.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Completely incredible.
		All right.
		Thank you very, very much for the call.
		And these are good uses of this line.
		Here I was concerned.
		It's the one special line we have opened tonight, the Inhuman Encounter line.
		Those of you who have had face-to-face encounters with something clearly not human.
		If that would be you, area code 575-208-7787.
		It started out so slowly I was worried.
		But now I see it filling quickly.
		Justin on Skype.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hello, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hey, Justin.
unidentified		I'm from Ohio.
		I'm my first-time caller.
		I love your show.
		I just started listening since you came back.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How did you, can I ask a question?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How did you find out that we were back?
unidentified		So I had tune-in radio on my phone, and I just looked up paranormal shows.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
unidentified		And I came across Coast to Coast AM, and then I saw Dark Matter and started listening to you, and I really loved your show.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So then you found the real paranormal.
unidentified		Excuse me?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It doesn't matter.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Anyway, what's up, Justin?
unidentified		So I just wanted to say something real quick and then have a two-part question.
unidentified		And if we have time, I'd like to play a short clip of a song for you, if that's okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We'll see.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let's go with the question first.
unidentified		Okay, so I was thinking, I think in the next 200 years, I think we may start moving towards a one-world government.
		And I think that we should.
		I think we should do that.
		I think that would be good for peace.
		I think it's inevitable.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you really think that will happen within 200 years?
unidentified		Maybe More, I mean, you look at the European Union and what that's done for Europe after a lot of history of infighting between different countries.
		I think that one world government is going to happen sooner or later later, and I think it could solve many conflicts.
		My two-part question is: Do you think ISIS wants to draw us out into combat like what happened in last year?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely, without question, they want American troops on the ground, yes.
unidentified		Because, yeah, because we saw that Iraq really sent our country into an economic depression, so maybe that's what they want.
		But on the other hand, do they want to divide Western countries so that they don't join in the conflict against ISIS?
		Because that would, if Western countries were to join together, that might be moving towards that one world government.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sir, I'm going to say this again.
		The center of their ideological world, and I'm not talking about all Muslims, I'm talking about ISIS, is to initiate, to begin the end of the world, to bring about Armageddon.
		That's what they want.
unidentified		But I still see it as two separate things.
		Do they want to draw us out?
		Because if they draw all the Western countries out together, then that would be going against their Armageddon because they're against them.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Actually, Zurf, if you think about it, they're doing a pretty good job already.
		They've got Russia in there bombing the people who are trying to eject Assad, right?
		We're in there bombing ISIS.
		Two very different objectives.
		But if they get Russian ground troops, American ground troops, American jets, Russian jets all flying around in the same airspace, all walking and fighting on the same ground, eventually something really awful will probably happen.
unidentified		Right.
		So, but they're going at, ISIS is going after Russia, trying to draw Russia out, but at the same time, Turkey is a NATO nation, and there's a conflict between Turkey and Russia.
		So that's kind of two different things, I suppose.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, not really.
		I mean, the end of any of this could be catastrophic.
		It could be World War III.
unidentified		Yeah, that's a scary prospect for sure.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And so if that's what they're trying to bring about, they're on the right track so far.
unidentified		Right.
		So, I mean, hopefully Russia can get online to join up with us.
		I'm kind of scared to see how this Turkey-Russia thing plays out because that could pit Russia against NATO and Western countries.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And not to forget, Russia just put in the new anti-aircraft missiles, the Mach 5 babies that will hit anything, including any American plane flying.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And if they should hit one of ours, you know, it could be the balloon goes uptime.
unidentified		Right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, listen, I'm not going To hang on for the music tonight, but I appreciate your call very much and hope you'll call again.
		In the meantime, let us go to, we should take a regular call.
		And so here it is, and it's Kennewick, Washington, I think.
unidentified		Actually, it's Spokane, Washington.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I just can't get it right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But I was close.
unidentified		509 is a huge, covers a huge area of Washington.
		I got a quick question.
		Oh, I have a comment and a question.
		My first comment was, have you ever heard, or my first question was, have you ever heard of a 1950s experiment called the Mouse Utopia Project?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The Mouse What?
unidentified		The Mouse Utopia Project.
		No, I haven't.
		Yeah, it's really interesting.
		Basically, they took like 24 mice, 12 females, 12 males, and this guy built this huge space for them or 3,000.
		It was basically a population experiment using mice.
		And there was some really fundamentally crazy things that happened in this space for the mice.
		But I don't really want to go into that.
		I really wanted to talk about what Loretta Lynch said today about going after people who, I guess, use anti-Muslim rhetoric.
		That's a scary proposition that the Attorney General is basically going to clamp down on free speech right after an Islamic Muslim attack on our soil.
		I just thought that was really weird.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I don't know that they can do that because we have free speech, sir.
unidentified		Yeah, I know.
		That's why I was like, who is she going to throw in jail first?
		We just had all this anti-police rhetoric from the Black Lives Matter crew.
		Nothing was done.
		but when we were just attacked on our soil by radical Muslims.
		Yes.
		And for her to come out and be like, okay, well, I'm going to go after people who say anti-Muslim things, I assume maybe on social media or I don't know where she's going to really go or where she's going to go.
		Yeah, it just blows my mind that you have the Attorney General of the United States say that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sir, yeah, okay.
		Well, I appreciate your call and your sentiment and thought, but it ain't going to happen.
		You still have this thing, just barely, but we have the same call to constitution, right?
unidentified		She's got something that wounds my soul.
		And she knows I'd love to love her.
		But she lets me down every time.
		And they come mine.
		She's no one's love in life with me.
		And if you get hurt, you get hurt by the little things I hate.
		I can get that smile back on in your heart, baby Midnight in the Desert doesn't screen calls.
		We trust you, but remember, the NSA Bell, you know.
		To call the show, please dial 1-952-225-5278.
		That's 1-952-CALL-ART.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I am ART.
		Art Bell.
		So you can call that number.
		That's the national number.
		Welcome, everybody.
		I noted the news at the top of the show.
		I know a lot of stations join here in the second hour.
		Why, I don't know.
		It seems like it should be hour one, hour two, hour three, but it happened.
		So we know it was ISIS now, without question.
		She, the wife, that is, sent out a Facebook message saying that she pledged her allegiance to the Islamic State at about 11 in the morning and then killed a lot of people along with her husband, who I think she probably was responsible for radicalizing, but that's just my guess.
		And so it's here in the homeland.
		But that's not really what we're talking about.
		We're talking about, well, anything you want.
		This is your program.
		Friday night.
		It's all you.
		Whatever you want to talk about.
		Fair game.
		I do have one special line.
		It is my Inhuman Encounter line.
		Very productive, I might add, thus far.
		Those of you who have had a face-to-face encounter with something clearly not human, it would be area code 575-208-7787.
		575-208-7787.
		Let us now go to that line and see what we can find.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Can you hear me okay?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I hear you.
		Along with an echo of myself somehow.
		I'm getting myself.
		You don't have me on speaker, do you?
unidentified		No, I did.
unidentified		I just turned it off.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Bless you.
		And let that be a lesson to all.
		Do not call with speakerphone.
		Sounds terrible.
		But now you sound great.
unidentified		Oh, wonderful.
		Hey, it's my birthday, my 59th birthday.
		And my husband said, call Art tonight and tell him your story.
		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		It's also John Lear's 73rd birthday, so you two share that.
		So what is your story?
unidentified		Well, I'm from Michigan originally.
		I now live in New Mexico.
		But when we were kids, we lived out on the farm many years ago, you know, out in the middle of the sticks.
		So my mom always used to tell us, kids, we didn't behave.
		You know, this monster would come and get us, go to bed, be quiet.
		So we decided, you know, let's go to bed, all of us kids.
		There were six of us.
		And we were poor, so we all slept in this big room, giant room together.
		And my oldest sister, there's six kids, so she goes up to shut the curtains this night.
		And I can already tell this story because it's hard.
		I've never told this story publicly to too many people.
		So because I always thought people aren't going to believe this.
		So I watched my sister, the rest of us, we were just kind of watching her walk up to the window to close the curtains.
		As she puts her hands up to the curtains to draw the curtains closed, we saw what we thought was the devil, and it was just the scariest thing we could ever imagine that we would ever see.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, what describe it?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What did it look like?
unidentified		It was red-faced, it had like horns, big eyes, large mouth, like clog-type hands coming around the window like he was trying to get in.
		And we just all saw this at the same time, and we just started screaming at the top of our lungs.
		And we ran down the stairs to my mom and dad.
		They were in the living room downstairs, and they didn't know what was wrong with us.
		They thought we were acting crazy.
		And, you know, I don't know if they ever really believed us, but from that point forward, the only time we would talk about that would be when we were together as kids.
		And we all believed it.
		We never forgot it.
		And to this day, I'm 59 years old.
		We still believe we saw the devil looking at us in the window.
		My dad did run outside immediately to see if there was anything out there.
		And there was no ladder.
		There was no nothing out there where somebody could have crawled.
		We were up on the second floor.
		I forgot to tell you that.
		We were on the second floor of this old farmhouse.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So maybe he came to collect a soul.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Had you thought of that?
unidentified		Yes.
		Yes.
		Yeah.
		And that's what scared us so bad.
		I would actually sleep for many years with my head under the blankets and under the covers.
		No matter how hot I would get, I would be so scared I didn't even want my head exposed.
		So we always kind of wondered why he was there, but that was something that crossed my mind when I got older.
		But as a child, I didn't know what he wanted.
		I just knew he was trying to get in.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, trust me, so it could get hotter.
		Behave.
		All right.
		Thank you so very much for the call.
		Tell your husband thank you for making you call.
unidentified		I will tell him.
unidentified		He's a Vietnam vet, so I will relay that to him.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Thank you so very much.
		And there you have it.
		That's our special line, Inhuman Encounters line, face-to-face with something, right?
		Clearly not human.
		If that happened to you, we want to hear from you as soon as possible.
		And on Skype, here comes somebody named Wolfman.
		Hello.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Hi, Hart.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		It's Wolfman from the DM Talkers here.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		DM Talkers, okay.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		And shout out to them.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they're a good group.
		Some nights.
		Some nights they're just rotten to the core.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I know.
		But we're good at heart.
		It's just all fun.
		It's all fun.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I know it is.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		I know.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		And it's entertainment, too.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why do you think I'm considering eating this light bulb?
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my God.
		I can't believe you're really going to do that.
		I've seen someone do it when I was a kid, and I think it was that guy you had on the show.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah, Tony Robbins.
		Yeah, he ate a light bulb, and he's still around to talk about it.
		So, you know, I watched his video several times.
		I feel like I kind of know what I'm doing.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
		Well, I guess it all comes out in one clump and everything kind of.
		Apparently, it goes through pretty easy, and I say go for it.
		Really?
		I wouldn't be too worried.
		I've seen other guys do it.
unidentified		Really?
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		If you've been taught how to do it properly, I think you can do it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I've watched his video.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Well, okay.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		You can still do sound effects, and we still have it.
unidentified		Well, I'm self-taught.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Anyways, the last caller with that creature that she saw looking through the window, I've had a similar encounter.
		I was going to talk about something else, but I'm going to go on to this because when I was a kid, I've seen similar creatures, and my brothers and sister saw it too.
		And we found out later that that house was built on a native burial ground.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		And in the trees in the backyard, one time, my brother and I saw the trees in the backyard actually form into a face with the leaves.
		Yeah.
		And it was a face of a Native Indian, North American Indian person.
		And I was trying to talk to us, but we couldn't understand it.
		But we actually had the Catholic Church come in and do an exorcism on the property there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
		Did they comment at all?
		Did they feel anything?
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yes.
		Oh, yeah.
		The priest, I went with the priest.
		This was my first time where I actually participated in the exorcism.
		So I still do.
		I actually went with the priest, and he taught me how to do it.
		I was asking him how to do it as we went through.
		So I learned how to do this.
		So I've done it for many people since then, and kids can sleep at night after I do my thing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, there you have it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You watch, you learn, you do.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Okay, but the real story, and everyone wants to hear, is about the fireflies.
		And one time when I was at the farm, it's a tobacco farm on Lake Erie, and I was walking down the path towards an old graveyard.
		I went past it.
		These fireflies are following me around.
		And this has happened to me before.
		And I bring a staff with me out there because there's...
unidentified		What?
unidentified		What?
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		So I went over there and I banged the staff on the ground and I said, show yourself, spirit of nature.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Show yourself.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Show yourself, spirit of nature.
		Because I knew something was watching me.
		Well, one single firefly came up to me, right up to my face, and then it blew up into like a sphere, a 10-inch sphere of red glowing energy, like a ball of energy.
		It scared the crap out of me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Gotcha.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Like, yeah, I think I bit off more than I can chew here.
		And I kind of just backed off, and I could feel an energy coming, and It was looking at me.
		I think it wanted to communicate with me.
		I was too scared.
		So I actually turned around and ran towards my brother's house.
		I kept looking back, and it stayed there.
		It wasn't trying to attack me or anything, but I really, that was the strangest thing that I've ever encountered.
		I've encountered a lot of strange things, but that one takes a take.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But nothing after that.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my gosh, Art.
		I've seen so many things.
		I could go on in a whole show about the Lake Erie mysteries.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Firefly story was sufficient.
		Thank you very, very much, and take care.
		It would be pretty weird if fireflies just sort of followed you around.
		I mean, every time you look back, there's a little swarm of light sort of tailing away from you.
		Yeah, I suppose I'd eventually ask to.
		On our encounter line, you're on here.
unidentified		Hello.
		Hi.
		My name is Jason.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, Jason, you sound terrible.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're on a cell phone, right?
unidentified		I guess that.
		Hold on, if you might try to switch to the actual phone.
		Give me one second.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Never call unless you're on an actual phone.
unidentified		Do I sound better now?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my God, yes.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		See, let that be a lesson for all of you.
		Don't call me that way.
		You don't want to sound that way.
		You want to sound this way.
		Proceed.
unidentified		Okay.
		Basically, as you want to say, I'm a huge skeptic when it comes to ghosts, aliens, and all that stuff.
		But I did have an experience, and I can't explain it.
		Basically, I'm an armored car guard, and we do ATM machines occasionally besides, you know, regular store stuff.
		And me and my partner one day walked into a bank.
		We knew nobody was in there because the premise alarm was set.
		When we came in, it went off, and we had a disarm it.
		And I went to go do the ATMs.
		My partner had to use the restroom, which was upstairs on the second floor.
		I told him, go ahead, I'll go do the ATMs.
		Next thing I know, I hear, Jay, get over here quick.
		I go running upstairs, and he's got his gun drawn at the door of the bathroom.
		And I'm like, what's going on?
		And he's like, there's someone in the bathroom, and he won't identify himself.
		So I'm like, that's impossible.
		We disarmed the premise alarm.
		So he's like, I'm telling you, there was banging on the door.
		So I'm like, are you sure it wasn't just like plumbing or something?
		And he's like, no.
		And next thing I know, I see the door literally jumping on its hinges and I hear bang, bang, bang.
		And I'm like, then I draw my weapon and point it at the door.
		And I'm like, whoever's in there, identify yourself.
		Are you cleaning person?
		What's going on?
		Yeah, because occasionally you get cleaning people in the bank.
		And nothing.
		Next thing I know, bang, bang, bang again.
		And you can literally see the door like shaking on its hinges.
		So my partner keeps his gun at the door.
		I go downstairs.
		I call the police.
		The police come.
		I let them in.
		And they're telling me what's going on.
		And I'm like, look, the bathroom's locked.
		Somebody's in there.
		They won't come out.
		They want to identify themselves.
		So they're like, you know, banging on the door.
		And they're like, whoever's in there, come out.
		And nobody comes out.
		You know, nobody does nothing.
		So, you know, they're like, are you sure someone's in there?
		And we're like, 100% sure.
		You know, they were banging the door so hard it was shaking on the hinges.
		So I can see the cops looking at me like I'm crazy.
		And I'm like, I'm telling you, somebody's in there.
		The door's locked.
		These bathrooms are never locked.
		And he's like, somebody probably just, you know, key locked it.
		And I'm like, I'm telling you, these bathrooms are always open.
		They know we come in there and use them.
		So they're like, well, we got to get permission from the bank to break the door down.
		So they get permission from the bank to break the door down.
		And yeah, they break the door down and nobody's in there.
		And here's the kicker.
		They think we're crazy.
		So we're like, you know, look at the bathroom's very small.
		It's like maybe like five by eight, you know, so there's nowhere to hide in there.
		Right.
		And so we start walking down the stairs because, you know, they have to, you know, make us fill out a police report and everything.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		We get about four steps down and all of a sudden you hear, bang, bang, bang.
		And the police go running back upstairs, check the bathroom again, nobody's in there.
		Now they're looking at us like, how are we going to explain this?
		And I'm like, so you thought we were kidding.
		Something's going on here.
		And it wasn't plumbing.
		It wasn't, you know, there was no leaks, no nothing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Come on, it's not your job to explain.
		You did everything you could have possibly done, including calling the cops.
		So at this point, it's up to them.
unidentified		Yep, so to this day, like I said, I'm a huge skeptic.
		I don't know if it was a paranormal event or what.
		But I'll tell you one thing.
		There's no way somebody was in that bathroom and then escaped because the ceiling of that bathroom has an exhaust fan, which they gated and padlocked, and both things were secure.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I was going to ask you if there was any telltale sensory information that indicated somebody had been in there.
unidentified		Yeah, there was no, like, the door itself had no dents in it on the inside.
		But I'll tell you what, if I had banged on the door that hard from the inside, I would have put dents in it.
		So how it didn't have dents, I do not know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I don't even want to think what it could have been.
unidentified		I don't either.
unidentified		But I'll tell you what, ever since I was doing that branch, the days after that, I would always check that bathroom before I even go to the ATM machines just to make sure nobody was in there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, sir.
		Whale of a tail.
		No question about it.
		Thank you.
		Wow.
		Yes, whatever it was.
		Can you imagine being in a stall?
		Anyway, never mind.
		I'm not going to go there.
		Let's go to Calvin.
		Hi, Calvin.
unidentified		Hi, Art.
unidentified		Mr. Bell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Art's fine.
unidentified		How's it going?
		My name is Dr. Carter.
		I'm a government scientist.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You are?
unidentified		Neuroscientist, yes, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		Good to have you.
		What do you study?
unidentified		Well, I study mainly treatments for neurological diseases, brain diseases, and big fan of your show.
		I've been listening for a few years.
		I actually listen to you when I'm in the lab doing experiments.
		Yeah, but one thing I wanted to touch on, I guess, in light of the recent events, was this whole concept of, because you hear, you know, we have to bomb ISIS, we have to attack ISIS.
		And I listened to your show the other night where you had the open lines with the callers talking about guns and gun regulation.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, they were correct.
unidentified		And I think a lot of the people were, you know, for guns.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		It sounded like.
		Yes, they were.
		I still don't understand how you can try to defeat an ideology with weapons.
		Oh, you can't.
		You can't.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sir, you can't.
		I agree with you.
		You can't defeat ideology with weapons.
		You cannot do that.
		But what you can do is if you're in a crowd of people that's getting shot up, you can avoid getting mowed down like a defenseless animal.
unidentified		Sure.
		I think part of the bigger problem, they always say that Islam is a religion of peace.
		And while that may be true for some, depending on the interpretation, if you look at the founder of these religions, if you're talking about Jesus Christ for Christianity, who was a pretty good role model.
		He preached peace, love to everyone, saw everyone equally.
		And if you look at the other side, if you look at the Islam faith, which I have a great respect for, I know many people, and I love these people.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Most of Islam is just fine.
unidentified		But if you look at the founder, he was a pretty radical guy.
unidentified		I mean, we're talking about a man who ran around killing women and children.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Come on, come on, come on.
		Think about this.
		Wait a minute.
		Hold on, hold on.
unidentified		And had sex with another person.
unidentified		Hold on, hold on.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, Christianity was really radical, too.
		And if you read the Bible, even today, and you read what should be the punishment for homosexuality, and so forth and so on, you'll find that it was pretty darn barbaric.
		It depends on the reading you do, right?
unidentified		Though that may be true, but again, if you look at the founder of Christianity, Jesus Christ, I think if you were gay or straight, black, white, rich, poor, I mean, it didn't matter.
		That's the founder, right?
		Everything that came after when you're talking about the Crusades, the Dark Ages, everything after that, that's not Jesus.
		That's people interpreting the Bible for their own benefit.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but I think probably you can do the same thing with Allah, you know, and say the same things about Allah, I'm sure.
unidentified		Well, as far as Muhammad, I think that's true.
		Well, as far as Muhammad, it is true.
		If you look in the Quran about he beheaded people, I mean, this whole concept even of the hijab, the headgear, that's a sexist premise.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How about getting stoned to death?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's got to be a rough.
unidentified		Oh, yeah, that's got to be rough.
unidentified		Probably not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So, you know, actually what I think is that all religion...
unidentified		Listen to that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm not saying all religion should be gone because, frankly, we Americans believe in the freedom of religion.
		But would it be a better planet without religion?
		Maybe.
		Or maybe if we were but one religion and we were not so radical about it, I don't know.
		I really don't know.
		I just know that most wars originate with religion.
		Most bad stuff that happens, it seems like, occur because of somebody's perversion of what they think their God says.
		I know that certainly all wars are preceded with people holding Bibles up as they march off to war and or Quran or whatever.
		Right?
		So religions caused us a lot of trouble, frankly.
		To Anchorage, Alaska, we go.
unidentified		Hello.
		Hey, Art.
		It's always a pleasure with the opportunity.
		Thank you.
		You know, I've been pondering this thing in San Bernardino, and they haven't released any of the names and what their job titles were.
		And a thought crossed my mind, and it's a little negative, but it just might, it portends of greater events coming.
		And here's my take now.
		Do you mean the victims or the victims?
		And here's my take.
		When you look at child support, child protective services, divorce court, bunkered down bureaucratic installations, which we're now seeing, it could be the Taliban realized that there's so much discontent and unhappy Americans in trouble.
		When you look at those institutions like the IRS and Parking Eager, they may be looking to tap new recruits by attacking Those things, and the foundation for that reasoning would be: we get very little news out of what they actually do over there when they take over.
		But I heard somewhere they take out the government employees first, they convert them.
		So does this make you see where I'm coming from here?
		How could you be angry if you had to pay child's board for 20 years and your wife took your house and the IRS took your...
		But those people who've had engagements, they're very bitter.
		I'm talking very bitter.
		And I just wonder, because they chose such a specific crowd, in my opinion, it was a terrorist act.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, clearly, yes, at this point, I think, yes, it was.
		ISIS-inspired is my best guess.
		That's what I said Wednesday, and it would appear as though that certainly is what it was.
		Everybody wrote to me and said, oh, no, no, no, no, this was nothing but a workplace thing.
		We've had so many of them.
		No, I said, probably ISIS-inspired, not directed, but inspired.
		And I'm scared to death.
		There will be more of it.
		I'm sorry to say.
		There will be people who are so disenfranchised one way or the other, as that caller said.
unidentified		It's common.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, correction.
		It's here.
		Outside the country, you're on the air.
		Larry, hello.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hey, Larry.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where are you?
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		How are you, Art?
unidentified		That girl is her 59th birthday.
		She gets to call Art Bell.
		Mia has been trying to call since 1998.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where are you, Larry?
unidentified		Niagara Falls, Canada, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Larry, I have such bad news for you.
unidentified		What's that?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Such bad news.
unidentified		Oh, no.
unidentified		No, the wrong line?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, Larry.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wrong line.
unidentified		I thought this was international.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is outside of North America, Larry.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, come on.
unidentified		Can I just tell you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, I mean, if you've been trying to get through since 98, but, you know, you break a rule like this, and, you know, it's a slippery slope, but go on.
unidentified		Well, the other one didn't work on Skype.
		Okay.
		What I want you to elaborate, though, is two stories.
		Both of them were with you.
		Probably two of the greatest stories I've ever heard.
		Remember years ago when a woman called in on the line and she was called in, she was driving through an intersection and she was looking back at her kids and they were looking back.
		The husband was driving.
		Her kids were in the back seat.
		They were driving.
		They went through the intersection.
		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I do.
unidentified		And a car hit them.
		Yes.
		And as she looked back, she saw her kids in the back seat.
		And she saw the car going through them.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		You remember that story?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I do.
unidentified		Yes.
		And then as they went through, the husband stopped and skidded, pulled over.
		And that other car that went through them stopped as well and then took off.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I had a recent, a very recent call, sir, just like that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A little bit different, but just like it.
unidentified		Oh, really?
		Yes.
		Wow, that's an incredible story.
		I can't believe it.
		I don't know what you would call that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm not sure either, and so I don't call it anything except really strange.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		Well, and then I guess you can throw a miracle in there, right?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you could.
unidentified		And the other story I wanted to kind of elaborate, maybe you could elaborate a little bit on also with you.
		It was in the mountains in Tora Bora, and I don't know who was the caller that called in, was relating a story that you had on.
		And it was more or less, I guess, when they were looking for bin Laden back then, you know, just after 2002 or something, I think it was when the U.S. was up there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We thought we were close to him then.
unidentified		Yeah.
		And so they were in some caves.
		So I guess some of the Marines went up, remember, into the caves.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I do.
unidentified		They were looking for him into this one cave.
unidentified		And I think all of them, there was maybe 12 or something, I think, the caller said, that went in, and they all died.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Actually, they heard radio traffic, if you recall.
		Liz and Larry, Larry, Larry, I'm sorry, I'm going to have to go.
		I should not have taken that call.
		But because you've been trying so long, I slaughtered the rule.
		And so, once again, with Skype, here's the way it works, ladies and gentlemen.
		If you're in North America, that means Canada and the U.S., it's MITD 5-1.
		If you're outside of North America, in the rest of the world, it's MITD 5-5.
		Now, there can be no exceptions, and you just heard me sort of make one.
		My light bulb.
		Coming up shortly, ladies and gentlemen, stand by.
unidentified		If Mr. Robbins can do it, I know I can do it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The thing actually looks delicious.
unidentified		It says hungry right on it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		700 Lumens of Hunger.
unidentified		700 Lumens of Hunger
		This is Midnight in the Desert.
		To call the show.
		If you're East of Midnight, call 1-952.
		Call Art.
		If you're West of Midnight, call 1-952-225-5278.
		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You decide which number applies to you and give us a call.
		And of course, on Skype, you know, in North America, America and Canada, it's MITD 51.
		And outside North America, it's MITD55.
		So wherever you are in the world, you get us on your list of contacts and just press it, and boom, you'll be right through to me, like that, sort of.
		If I can get to you quickly enough.
		All right.
		Well, I've teased this long enough.
		Here it is.
		It's my light bulb.
		65 watts, I'm guessing.
		I swear to you, it says 700 lumens, and it says hungry at the top.
		Looks like an average light bulb.
		Now, I did watch the, and by the way, if I was calling him Tony Robbins, it was only because I probably was thinking that Tony would be telling me how it would improve my life to eat a light bulb.
		Todd Robbins was our guy, and Wednesday he ate a light bulb on the air, and I thought, well, you know, if he can do it, let me study that video.
		I can probably do it too.
		Don't any of you do it, because it requires intense study.
		I bet I watched that video 15 times.
		So, you know, what you've got to do is bite it just above, according to the video, I can see, the metal part, you know, where the glass is.
		So that's probably where I'm going to start with just one giant bite and see what happens.
unidentified		Oh, oh, oh, oh.
unidentified		Oh, oh, oh.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Bust this down with a little prump well water.
		Pure potato chips.
		So, did you fall for it or not?
		I'm sure everybody will sit out there and say, not a chance.
		I didn't fall for it.
		Somebody had to fall for it.
		Sounded pretty good to me.
		Still have my light bulb.
		Don't eat light bulbs.
		Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
		Let's go to Benton, Arkansas, I think, or something.
		Hello?
benton in arkansas ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's Benton.
		This is Joseph and Benton.
		How you doing, Art?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So, what did you think?
unidentified		Did you think I was really eating a light bulb?
benton in arkansas ▲ ● ▼		I don't know if you can see my speaker lighting up there, but I was begging you to stop.
		So, yeah, I fell for it.
		Who would ever do anything like that?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Did that actually do?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Was the sound about right?
benton in arkansas ▲ ● ▼		The first crunch, yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, the first crunch.
		I knew that would be the one.
		I mean, after you've crunched it a few times, you can't, you just don't get that same glassy sound.
		I don't eat light bulbs.
benton in arkansas ▲ ● ▼		But, anyways, I wanted to say, first off, I know you get this a lot, but I finally found my mentor in life, you know, because I've been trying to do amateur radio my whole life.
benton in arkansas ▲ ● ▼		And I found this show when I was 33.
unidentified		Really?
benton in arkansas ▲ ● ▼		Which was just a couple months ago, man.
benton in arkansas ▲ ● ▼		And you're the best.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you so much.
		You know, we're on WTWW shortwave.
		You know that?
benton in arkansas ▲ ● ▼		In Arkansas?
		No, that's no.
		I was wondering what station you would be on out here.
		I don't have any stories as far as goes with my adult life, but when I was a kid, I saw all kinds of things.
		I was super afraid of the dark, and I kind of still am, to be honest with you.
		But I would stare at things.
		You know, you know how you're in a kid.
		I don't know if I'm the only one.
		And I would stare at things, and those things would come to life.
		Or I would imagine things, and they would be there.
		And I'll never forget those things.
		I don't remember my dreams today, but I remember those things.
		And so they would happen every night.
		And you remember when you were talking to that guy about, I forget the name of it, was talking about right when you fall asleep, you start having these visions, these crazy visions between sleep and awake?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, I don't, not so much crazy visions.
		I start thinking kind of chaotic, crazy thoughts.
		And sometimes I'll wake up a little bit and I'll say to myself, wow, I was just about to go to sleep.
		And that's how I know I'm actually going to sleep.
		I start thinking these random, nutty thoughts.
benton in arkansas ▲ ● ▼		Well, it got so bad when I was a kid that I don't know what happened.
		I think someone helped me because I had a vision of me, just a brief moment vision of me laying on the table with these, and I guess they're greys, I don't know what they are, around me.
		For like a brief second, I'll never forget it.
		And I woke up because I was used to fighting my sleep because I was afraid to fall asleep too.
		I mean, just full of anxiety.
		And I wouldn't even, I would stare at the wall, but I saw a shadow go across my window with some really lanky legs, like two pair of them.
		And I haven't seen anything my whole life.
		So I know that was real.
		And I kind of feel like maybe somebody came along, you know, that's from maybe, I don't know, another dimension to, I don't know, do something to me where I would quit doing that, you know?
		Because it was getting real bad.
		My dad almost had to go see a shrink.
unidentified		Your dad?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You mean he would have taken you to see a shrink?
benton in arkansas ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and then I just told him, I said, I don't know what happened, but I don't see that stuff anymore.
benton in arkansas ▲ ● ▼		And then to the guy before that was talking about the Muslims and religion, were you talking about the world would be better without religion?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, it might be.
benton in arkansas ▲ ● ▼		I mean, religion was designed as a doorway, and it's a clear mystery.
		And Jesus flat out told everybody that scribes and Pharisees were the harbingers of hell.
		That's the people that make religions, enforce them, write books.
		You're not going to get to the truth about who you are until you start studying it for yourself and read through the messages and the codes in all of the books.
		And you're either serving one force or the other.
		And right now, religion seems to be serving the dark side, it seems.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's not wholly fair.
		I mean, yes, it's getting all the press.
		When it leads, it leads.
unidentified		But you've got a point.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you very, very much for the call.
		I don't know.
		Would the world be better off without religion.
		It might.
		If people had a basic human understanding of right and wrong, which I believe we have, a basic understanding and compassion for others, which I believe we have, and if they just paid attention to all of that, we probably wouldn't need religion.
		Because most of the wars, frankly, are, you know, because of religion.
		Now, here's somebody on Skype who says their name is MyInfo.
		That's an odd name there.
		Info, are you there?
unidentified		They're talking to me?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Who else is going to be called MyInfo?
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		I didn't know that was my Skype name.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's your Skype name, yes.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I was going to call your special line, but this man that I knew, he was more human than most people I've met in my life.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, but we're looking for encounters with inhuman.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		And it'll be apparent why.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		We came to find out he was a clone.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A clone?
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		So I don't know if you classify that as human or not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sorry, if I want, you broke up a little.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		Oh, if you would classify him as human or not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A clone?
unidentified		No, I would say disqualifies.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		But I would say that he had more humanity than most people I've met.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		I'll tell you that I am in the state of Idaho.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Idaho, sir, you are breaking up on us, and that's really a shame because I'd love to hear the story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What are you talking on?
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		I'm on my cell phone.
		I'm standing next to my Wi-Fi.
		Am I coming through clearer now?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're talking into the phone, not the speaker.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You don't have it on the speakerphone, right?
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		No, I don't believe I do.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		Let me check that out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Check that out because that could be what's going on here.
		Never, never, never call us on a speakerphone.
		Make sure it's just set up like a regular phone.
		Well, I'm afraid he's pushed the wrong button.
		And gone away.
unidentified		Okay.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		I'm not on speaker, so I guess it's just cutting out the way it is.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, stay close to the router.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And we'll try it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Go ahead, keep going.
unidentified		All right.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		So I went to high school with this kid.
		And growing up, he was nerdy.
		For lack of a better word, he didn't have a lot of friends.
		And I was an athlete.
		I played sports.
		Kind of more in the popular group.
		But he got picked on a lot.
		And I hated bullies growing up.
		And I befriended this kid.
		And we became really close.
		But there was something strange about him.
		He could solve science and math problems that my teachers had no clue as to what he was even doing.
		They didn't understand on the level that he did.
		And his parents, or who we believe his parents were at the time, worked in the restaurant industry.
		And we couldn't figure out where the science and math just genius came from.
		And, you know, we thought maybe it was just a gift he had.
		Well, we both.
unidentified		You have a terrible cold, don't you?
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		I am a little sick, yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Anyway, so the bottom line to this.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		Well, we ended up attending university together.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		And I don't want to give out any names or be specific.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't want you to, yes.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		Right.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		That university cloned a mule in 2003.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A mule?
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		It was called the Idaho Gem Project.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, and you know this for sure?
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		The Idaho Gem Project, for sure, is completely on the record.
		They've cloned a few mules.
		They actually...
		Well, what we came to find out was it wasn't they, per se, that cloned him.
		It was a member of, and like I said, I don't want to use names.
		It was a member of the team, the driving force behind it, the, I guess, the doctor who was the head of the program.
unidentified		Just couldn't resist, huh?
unidentified		Yes.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		And we figured this out through classes with him.
		And at first, it was strange because he bears such a likeness to him.
		And of course, at that time, we didn't think that we were dealing with a clone or anything like that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, a clone would bear an exact resemblance.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		Well, right, except for 40 years younger.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		So, but they looked very similar.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'd be all for this if you could download your mind into the 30-year-younger body, and then I'd be all for it.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		Well, They were two separate individuals.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I get that.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you're saying an illegal human cloning has been done and you were a witness to it.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		I was not witness to the cloning.
		I was only four years old, five years old when the cloning took place.
		I'm in my mid-20s now.
		My friend, unfortunately, passed away when he was 21 of some rare cancer.
		But he made me promise that I would tell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that I would.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, then I see why you're on the radio then, but you're not giving us names.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		Well, right.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		And I could give you names, but I don't know that you would want me to do that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Probably not, now that I think it over.
		But I'll tell you what, send me an email.
		Name names.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		All right.
		Thank you very much.
		You know, I can kind of buy that, that there has been a human cloning.
		How about you?
		They clone animals, right?
		So could there be a human cloning?
		Yes, I really think so.
unidentified		I think it's entirely possible.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let's go back to the phone, and you are on the air.
unidentified		Welcome.
		Hi, Art.
		How are you doing?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Very well, sir.
unidentified		Thank you.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		Just before going on, I just wanted to express my condolences to Brian, who runs the Midnight in the Desert fan group.
unidentified		He lost his dog a couple of weeks ago, and I just wanted to send that out there for good advice to him.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, thank you for doing that.
		It's very sad.
		When you lose an animal, it's like losing a member of the family.
		I know all about it.
unidentified		Absolutely.
unidentified		And he runs a great group, so I felt terrible for him.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		But I just have one quick correction and then one comment if that's all right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
unidentified		About an hour ago, somebody called talking about the Attorney General wanting to, I think he said, prosecute anti-Muslim rhetoric.
		That's right.
		And just to be totally fair, that's not really true.
		What she said she wants to do is she wants to look into rhetoric that specifically is an incitement to violence and has the danger of causing imminent lawless action.
		And this is well within the government's right to regulate speech under Brandenburg versus Ohio, which is a seminal First Amendment case, and it really hasn't been challenged in 50 years.
		I just wanted to clear that up because I think giving half the story makes it seem like she wants to prosecute something more than the government's ever done when that's not the case.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I just don't think it's going to fly anyway.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, you know, you can pretty much in America say what you want to say.
unidentified		Yeah, absolutely.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, there's something that are called fighting words.
		I get that.
		And I guess there's hate speech.
		I get that.
		But there's still this First Amendment saying you can say what you want.
		Now there's consequences.
unidentified		Sure, and nobody's saying that you can't say something, but I guess the issue is, you know, for example, Brandenburg v.
		Ohio, the case that really established this test of imminent lawless danger is, you know, came from Brandenburg.
		The defendant was part of the KKK.
		And what the case upheld is the right to prosecute.
		if someone is inciting action that is, you know, there has to be a high likelihood that it's going to cause somebody to cause harm to someone else.
		So if you're on a street and you have 50 people who have guns and you see...
		It's a similar idea, but yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, similar.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, I get it.
unidentified		And that's exactly what she was saying.
		It wasn't this broad, you can't see anything bad about Muslims, you can't see anything bad about Christians.
		It was very specific and very narrow.
		And I think that it's just a mischaracterization to present it as this broad general thing, which is, like you said, that's an opposition to the person.
		It's an opposition to free speech.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I think that there should be laws then against disparagement with any religion, that kind of...
unidentified		Yeah, I know.
		And if somebody was to make an incitement to kill Christians, then that would be prosecuted.
		You know, you could prosecute that also.
		There would be an action against that as well.
		One would think so.
		But then my other comment was earlier today you talked about.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		If you have another comment, hold on to it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We've got a break.
unidentified		I could read my mind, love What a tale my thoughts could tell Just like an old-time movie Out of ghost from a wish him well.
		In a castle done for a fortress.
		Be happy.
		All it has to take is hope.
		Make it roll.
		Waybel, way, bow, way.
		Midnight matters are best handled by those that understand how to move in the darkness like Art Bell.
		To call the show, please dial 1-952-CALLART.
		That's 1-952-225-5278.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So I got my producer on the line.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		She's hard to fool.
unidentified		So I said, It said, haha.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Did you buy it?
		Truth.
		She responds, first bite, yeah.
		Then I realized you were pranking us.
		I said, it's the first point, first bite I cared about.
		She responded, I thought you'd finally flipped your cookie.
		Was dying laughing.
		Don't rule it out.
		One day I may give it a try.
		But not after studying some silly video.
		Hello there.
		You're back on the air again, sir.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		Hi, Thanks, Art.
unidentified		My last comment was: I know earlier you mentioned the recent news about women being able to go into various combat roles in the military.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, even be drafted.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How about that?
unidentified		Sure.
		I was wondering if you're familiar with the women's protection units in Rajava, in, I guess, the Kurdistan territory.
		They're one of the more instrumental groups in fighting ISIS in the area.
		If you haven't heard of them, there are plenty of videos online.
		You can look up YPJ.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I will do that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I have not heard of them, and I will check into it.
unidentified		And I mentioned it just because I plan on, in about six or seven months, when I finish up school, I plan on going over to their country, their sort of pseudo-country, and helping them out in any way that I can.
		I think it's important.
		And yeah, I think they're a great example for what women can do in a military setting.
		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		When I bit down, did you think I bit into the bulb?
unidentified		You know, between you and me, and I guess everybody listening, I happen to know how to eat a light bulb.
unidentified		So at the first second, I thought you did, but then after six seconds, it said you were done.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		I knew you weren't.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All I cared about was that first bite.
		Thank you very much.
		They say the first bite is...
		Hello.
		You're on the air on my special line.
tim in colby ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		Hi.
unidentified		How are you doing, Art?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I had to ask that, David.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why does everybody ask that?
unidentified		I don't know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's just a normal human greeting, but I'm going to try to stop people from doing it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Somehow or another, I'm not sure how I'm going to accomplish that.
unidentified		Sorry about that.
		All righty.
		Anyways, mine is back in April of 2005.
		The only reason I know that is because I had just gotten back from Iraq.
		So I hadn't seen my aunt in a while, and I was over there, and she was headed to the grocery store.
		So I figured I'd go over there because I was on leave and my girlfriend was at work at the time.
		So we went to the grocery store and we were in the dairy aisle and I was looking for some creamer and all of a sudden I heard this whimpering, sound like a, I don't know, it was like a low-pitched, I don't know, when you're real nervous, you hear this, maybe you make like a little squeak or something, but it was real long.
		And I turned around to see what it was and it was my aunt.
		She was making this sound and she was like starting to become really hysterical.
		And I asked her, what are you doing?
		Like, what's wrong with you?
		And she couldn't speak at first.
		And finally, she said, that man over there is staring at me.
		And he has the most sadistic look on his face.
		And I look over.
		There's absolutely no one over there.
		So she's starting to get really hysterical.
		So finally, I'm like, I got to get her out of here.
		So I start walking her past the registers.
		And she is like crying hysterically.
		I'm like starting to get embarrassed.
		But I get her to the car.
		I look back because she keeps crying.
		As soon as we got there, she let out a big cry and said, he's still looking at me and all this.
		And I turn around and this gives me chills.
		I saw this.
		It was a guy.
		He was, he couldn't have been five foot tall.
		But he had the most grotesque face I'd ever seen in my life.
		And but he had these, I don't know, I guess I would say.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		This is when you're in the car with your aunt.
unidentified		Is that correct?
		No, this is, she is getting in the car and I'm turning around to finally look.
		And I saw it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Finally.
unidentified		This thing was disgusting.
		Yes.
		And it nodded its head at me.
		I turned around.
		My aunt pulled out of the supermarket, left me there.
		Wow.
		I'm so scared.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Your hand after you help her out.
		Oh, my goodness.
		Then she leaves you in the parking lot with this grotesque, horrible thing.
unidentified		Well, there's the thing I look back at her because I had to have turned white.
		You know what I mean?
		Because I turned right back around because I'm so scared.
		And then when I turned back, it was gone.
		And so I sat there thinking, there's no way this could have just happened.
		There's no way.
		I'm thinking, like, maybe it's PDSD, blah, blah, blah.
		But she saw this.
		You know what I mean?
		She's the one who got all scared at this.
		So I couldn't even get a hold of her.
		So scared, she squeaked.
		She did.
		It was insane.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, sir.
		Thank you very much for the call.
		I love the part about her climbing in the car, turning the key on, and peeling out, leaving you to deal with this horrible, grotesque thing that causes people to squeak.
		Just bad, bad, bad.
		All right, folks.
		We're in the last hour here.
		So I guess let me recite the phone numbers.
		If you would like to join us, if you have had an inhuman encounter, then we have an inhuman encounter line.
		That means those of you who have had a, at the very least, a face-to-face encounter, kind of like this man just described, with something clearly not human.
		If that's you, it's area code 575-208-7787.
		Area code 575-208-7787.
		And if you're a first-time caller to the program, it's area code 775-285-50800.
		Then, of course, Skype M-I-T-D-51 in North America.
		And remember, just talk directly into the phone.
		No speakerphones.
		If you doubt whether your Skype is working, there's this thing called the Skype Echo Server.
		You can talk into it and listen to how it comes back, and you'll know whether you're going to sound good before you call.
		So there you have it.
		Let's go to the first time caller line.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Art Bell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, indeed.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		So many late nights working in the film industry.
		I'm an animation director.
		This is Larry over at Ghost Train Pictures.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Larry, are you on speakerphone?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Larry?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Are you on speakerphone?
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		No, I am not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What do you want?
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		I have got my headset on.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Your headset is not active or not working properly.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're on what, a laptop?
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I'm on my desktop.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you don't have it actually engaged in Skype.
		Here's what you've got to do.
		Just put the mic away because it's not working anyway and get close to the laptop because that's the microphone that's working.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		Is this any better?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, actually, it's worse.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		Oh, wait, hold on a second.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		How about that?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's really bad.
unidentified		Gosh.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		Well, shoot.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		I'll try to make this fast.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, what I'm going to ask you to do is what I've been telling everybody.
		I'm sincerely sorry, but it's just not good enough to be on the air.
		I may have made it worse, actually, by trying to have you repair it.
		So go to the Skype Echo server and say something and wait for it to come back, and you will see how you sound.
		And you can make improvements and test, and you can use that echo server as frequently as you like until you sound really, really good.
		So we're going to, let's see, let's go to Iowa City, Iowa.
unidentified		Lou.
unidentified		Oh, I'm so glad you picked up because if you'd waited another minute, I would have broken your tea drink maximum.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's all right.
unidentified		Well, welcome.
		Well, thanks for taking my call.
		Before I say what I want to say, I did want to correct something a previous caller said about how they haven't released the names of the San Bernardino victims.
		They actually did today.
		As a matter of fact, NPR spent most of the day reading short bios throughout their programs of the victims.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I know even CNN has been interviewing relatives of the victims, that sort of thing.
unidentified		I see.
unidentified		Did they break into their houses, too?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I beg your pardon?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Did they break into that?
unidentified		Did they break into their houses?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		CNN and the media, that's not fair.
		They didn't break into that house.
		This guy who owns the building invited them in.
		I wonder what has become of him, though.
		I mean, a black SUV whisked him up and took him away, yeah.
unidentified		That's interesting.
unidentified		Well, the reason I'm calling, though, is I was wondering if you've heard a song called The Bottomless Hole by a band called The Handsome Family.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hans said I have.
unidentified		It's a trippy little alternative country song, but it's influenced by Mel Sol.
		So I thought you might be interested in...
		Can you send me a copy?
		I probably could, yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't know why they didn't go ahead and call it Mel's Hole.
unidentified		Yeah, that's a good question.
unidentified		I don't know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's a guy I'd love to interview is Mel.
		You know, I think he's in Australia.
		Mel, if you can hear me, buddy, call.
unidentified		The last show I had heard, he was in Australia.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, same here.
		I've actually gone back now and I've interviewed the majority of the original pretty wild guests that I've interviewed.
		Mel is an exception, and I'd love to have the opportunity to, you know, before he passes or I pass or whatever.
unidentified		Have you had Riley Martin on?
		Would you consider having Riley Martin on again?
		I would.
		Yeah, I think he'd be fun.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I wonder what he's doing.
unidentified		Well, he was doing a show on Howard Stern's radio station for a while about his experiences.
unidentified		And he had a huge falling out with him over money, but that was some good radio, too.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, falling out, drama.
unidentified		Yep.
unidentified		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Appreciate it, Sarah.
		Thank you.
		We'll look into Riley on our special line, face-to-face with something non-human.
		Hello.
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		Art Bell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, ma'am.
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		It is Fontaine here.
		And I have been wanting to talk to you about this ever since you had your encounter with an inhuman being.
		Okay?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you mean a shadow person.
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		Well, okay.
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we'll call it that.
unidentified		Okay?
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		It's the early 90s.
		It's the early 90s, and I had been practicing certain tantric yoga practices for about two years in order to try to cause a spiritual event in my life.
		It's called Kundalini Awakening.
		It's been studied for like 4,000 years by the Hindus, and they've really got a lot of writings on this.
		And I warn everybody, don't try this at home.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Like white bulbs.
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		Because it was what?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I said, like light bulbs, eating light bulbs.
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, like light bulbs.
		And you had me going the whole time.
		I was like flinching, going, oh, no, no, no, no.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That first bite was pretty good, huh?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		sounded good.
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		It was really...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, really?
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		Anyway, okay.
unidentified		Yes.
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		So back to the story.
		Okay, so I had been doing these practices, and I had gone to bed that evening, and I was laying in my bed on my side facing the door.
		And I was in that kind of relaxed place, kind of in between awake and sleep, and I suddenly perceived a being at my door.
		And I was told immediately, do not open your eyes, or you will lose your mind.
		Be still, do not move.
		And I did not let the fear of it override my reason.
		So I complied.
		The being approached my bed and started working on my body, leaning over me.
		And I could see through my eyelids.
		I could see that it was hooded.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What do you mean working on your body?
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		It was like if you could imagine a chiropractor, except with a quantum level of ability to permeate the tissues and do things.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Quantum body.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, quantum chiropractor.
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		There you go.
		And I was terrified, but I just was determined I was not going to let the fear run the experience for me.
		And that's what I think might happen sometimes with people.
		Anyway, it seemed like a he, and I could see it through my eyelids.
		And it had a robe on.
		It was tall, dark.
		I couldn't really see the face.
		Thank God.
		Didn't want to.
		And it did things to my body that felt like it activated a battery pack at the bottom of my spine.
		and it was like five million orgasms going up your spine at one time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, this is not terror.
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		No, no, no, no, no.
unidentified		Just listen, I'm telling you, it's a positive experience, which I've been wanting to tell you about.
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		Okay, so it goes all the way up, and it's supposed to go up through the top of your head if you do it right.
		Well, because I'm a smoker, I had damage in my upper lungs, and the energy flowed into my heart chakra.
		And in Tibet, they call this, I have now have, and have had since this happened, something called wind horse disease.
		And it's very hard to manage, but it's due to some past life injuries I'm sure you don't want to hear about right now.
		But the point is that it came back for three consecutive nights.
		I mean, it did its thing, and I flinched.
		What happened was I flinched, and it went in through, it was like went in through my heart and spread out through my upper chest.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, how do you know it was a, maybe it was a she and you've had a.
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		No, it felt like a heat.
		I'm pretty good at reading stuff, and you have to be to do this stuff.
		And it was a heat.
		And my impression, the point of it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I would not think less of you if it was a she.
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I know.
		But the thing I want to talk to you about is the point I want to make is that, you're so funny.
		The point I want to make was that it seemed like it was a member of an ancient, it had never been human.
		It was an ancient being, very, very, I mean, like millions of years old, maybe.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Which you could see through your closed eyelids, right?
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		Sure could.
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		And it seemed like it was there, almost like it was returning an old favor, or maybe it had something to do with my ancestry.
		There was a link there between me and this being.
		But my impression was that it was a minion of the angel of death.
		And so in your earlier calls, when you were talking about maybe that was death knocking at your door, which the calls have been excellent, as usual.
		But the impression I had was that this was called to me because my energy had gotten high enough that I got its attention and it returned some, it gave me some kind of reward.
		Obviously.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Again and again and again.
spontane in unknown ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I played Flashful Music and the energy is still moving through our body, but it came back three nights in a row in different stages of sleep in different formats.
		But my message to you is, what if you had not had the fear response?
		Maybe you were having some kind of unknown physical event happening when you were working that night.
		Really?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So, yeah, she could have missed out on the big one.
		The big O, right?
		Let's go to, I can't pronounce this.
		Can you pronounce your name for me?
unidentified		Aaron Kosra.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's Oxymax.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		I'm from Winnipeg, Canada.
unidentified		Really?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's A-A-R-Y-N-K-A-S-R-A.
		You don't want to fool something like that.
		Anyway, how you doing?
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		I'm good.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		It's an honor to talk.
unidentified		You've been listening to for like 20 years.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So yeah, I don't really have a question.
unidentified		I just hold in because I just got the time traveler subscription and they really recommend it.
unidentified		So I just wanted to say that to everyone.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's so you can listen anytime you want to priceless nights like this.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's awesome.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where you can hear me again and again crunch on a potato chip and have everybody out there wince.
unidentified		Yeah, exactly.
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		And also, I'm really glad you didn't fight the bulb.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm glad you're back.
		Bite the bulb.
		Yeah, that's a way to put it.
		So any strange events in your life, sir?
		Save listening to the show?
myinfo in idaho ▲ ● ▼		Not really.
unidentified		Just trying to kill the night shift, which comes in handy.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's really nice to have talk radio if you're at work and you're able to listen to it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Pretty cool way to go, I'd say.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, exactly.
		Yeah, and thanks a lot for coming back.
		It's awesome that you're back on the air.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, my friend.
unidentified		Bye.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		See you later.
		All right.
		We're going to have a talk on the FastBlast for the end, but not yet.
		I just want you all thinking about it.
		It's going to be only on the phone.
		I cannot do fast blast with Skype because people can never quickly enough get their...
		I think, though, that they would not get their devices turned down fast enough.
		So we'll hold it to phone for this week.
		Maybe I'll add Skype to FastBlast next week.
		York, Pennsylvania, I believe it is, first-time caller.
unidentified		Hello.
benton in arkansas ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		Hi, Art.
		Yes.
		Great honor to talk to you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You've never called the show, huh?
unidentified		I have not, but I've been listening to you for a long time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well then, welcome.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What's up?
unidentified		Thank you.
unidentified		I have a story for you, but actually, I wanted to know if anyone out there knows what I've experienced.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, wait, let me try.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, I can't pull it in.
unidentified		I tried.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're going to have to tell me.
unidentified		I will.
		I had an experience when I was younger, and I'm not sure if it may be it was a demon or shadow people or just a ghost or an entity.
		But I've had this experience where at first it was knocking on the wall at me and I thought it was neat at first.
		So I started knocking back at it.
		Yeah, exactly.
		Yeah.
		So and then it just got more intense.
		Like I started seeing things like in my room when I would try to go to sleep, I would turn lights off and I would see like dark shadows of people walking across my room and I've been like physically hit and I had an experience where it looked like television lights were on but there was no television lights on like you know how like when the television lights flash
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I do.
unidentified		You could see, like, colors of changes of lights.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		But there was nothing in the room.
		So I just, like, stopped.
		And I, like, froze because I was so scared.
		I just froze.
		And I'm not sure what I experienced.
		But I had, like, someone.
		I was, like, sitting in a chair, like, on the couch.
		And I had, like, somebody sit down beside me where you could feel like the seat beside you was going down.
		Yeah.
		Do you know what that might have been?
		Um, no.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sorry.
		I don't have a clue.
		You can't call me with something like that.
		There was something beside me.
		It's like it went back, you know, like it was laying back.
		What was that, Art?
		I have no idea.
		I'm sorry.
		I'm really sorry.
		It was a great story.
		But if you were depending on me for information about what it was, you're definitely barking up the wrong tree.
		All right.
unidentified		Let me try real quickly.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Cynthia on Skype.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello, Cynthia.
unidentified		Hi.
		I have an experience with outer world being, I guess you could call it.
		Okay.
		I had a host guest.
		And I came out of the bathroom.
		She had put my coffee carafe in the microwave.
		And I yelled, get that out of there.
		And she screamed.
		And I thought it was, I had scared her.
		And then she said, there was a man standing over there.
		And I said, did he have blonde hair and white clothes?
		She said, yes.
		I said, oh, that's my guardian angel.
		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And that was indeed a guardian angel?
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		I had met him before.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I've always wondered if guardian angels are even real.
unidentified		I believe in them.
unidentified		I believe there's other spirits that protect us, too.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, do you think that if, for example, I hate to say this, but let's say you're in a car speeding toward an intersection, and you go blowing through a stop sign, and another car is going to broadside you, do you think your guardian angel would step in and see to it that you invisibly just transform right through the car without harm?
unidentified		That could very well be.
		In fact, I had an experience once where a guy ran a red light.
		We should have collided, but somehow we had both managed, our cars had turned to avoid collision.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And it was, like, really strange.
unidentified		Mm-hmm.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, guardian angels, huh?
		I wouldn't test that theory any more than I'd eat a light bulb for real.
		Let's go to, I have no idea what this is.
		First time caller line, you're on the air.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		Art Bell, this is Larry again.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Larry, you're only allowed to call once.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's an absolute...
unidentified		No, no, no, no, no.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		You hung up on me earlier because my connection was bad.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, over on Skype.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		That's right.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		Boy, I'm glad you didn't hang up on me.
unidentified		Okay, go ahead.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		I'm now on my cell phone.
wolfman in dm talkers ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		So this is my encounter story.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		I am an animation director, work in the film industry.
unidentified		Right.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		And thankfully, I have had you to keep me company as well.
		all these years i was in india on a production and this was about 2008 and i was at the very southern tip of india near a city called trivandrum i had been uh by the ocean that evening decided i was going to go home stay at the the nicest hotel there in trivandrum called the mascot hotel so i fall asleep with the lights on around 1230 a.m and approximately 2 in the morning i i wake up like someone had shoved me and i thought well i just woke myself up i
		kicked in my sleep, but I noticed I'd left the lights on and the television.
		So I sit up in bed, and I reach over to turn the lamp off, and there starts to be this brownout.
		In India, electricity sometimes is inconsistent.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I understand, yes.
unidentified		I've never heard that before.
unidentified		But when I reached for the light, it didn't feel like the light was just dimming.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		It felt like the light was getting sucked out of the room.
		And I suddenly became aware of this presence above me and just to the right, and I looked up.
		And imagine if you're in a swimming pool wearing a snorkel mask where everything's crystal clear, and someone were to pour a five-gallon bucket of India ink down on top of you.
		This dark cloud comes down, and out of this cloud, two cloud-like kindreds drop out, and they seem to touch my tongue.
		And at the moment they made contact, I was able to move.
		And the closest thing I can describe this as is when I was a kid, I was five years old, and I stuck a key into an electrical outlet, and that electric charge when you can't move for a moment, that's what it felt like.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		So I tried to speak, and slowly, I didn't have to think of that.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		It just came out of my mouth.
unidentified		I said, the Lord is holy.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		It was like, boom, had to get it out.
		And immediately this dimensional presence, it flattened, like looking at an inkblot under a microscope.
		between the two pieces of glass, and it slid away.
		It didn't go through the wall.
		It slid away from my being able to see it.
		And I jumped out of bed, and I didn't have any fear.
		I would have thought if someone told me this was going to happen, I'd be terrified.
unidentified		So, saying the Lord is holy saved you.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		It absolutely did.
larry in ghost train pictures ▲ ● ▼		And again, back to some of the other callers where they were saying about religion, man, I'm right on board.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, well, you obviously are.
		Yeah, you obviously are right on board.
		Now, I've never met anybody who, at a moment like that, yelled something like, Mickey Mouse is real.
		Probably wouldn't work.
		And if you're that scared, you probably wouldn't say that anyway, right?
		I'm Art Bell, and this is Midnight in the Heretical Desert.
unidentified		Don't leave me this way.
		Baby, my heart is one of the more that's inside for you.
		Come on, men and women, Skype called Midnight in the Desert at MITD51.
		That's MITD51.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's right.
unidentified		That's the way to get thrown Skype and listen to me, ladies and gentlemen.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		About 10 minutes before the end of the show, we're going to begin doing what I call Fast Blast.
		And here's the way it's going to work.
		We're going to do it tonight only on the telephone.
		Telephone lines only.
		Therefore, prepare to jot down a number.
		I'm going to get them out here in a second.
		And when I answer the phone, I'm going to say you're on the air, and that's all I'm going to say.
		And you're going to hear a little ding sound.
		Then you're going to hear me say I'm on the air.
		Don't say, how are you, Art?
		Don't say, hi, Art.
		Just give me one sentence that's meaningful.
unidentified		All right?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Don't say anything bad, because if you do, I will push the button on you, and then your sentence will not be heard by anybody.
		Do not give out a website, because we're not allowing websites to be given out anymore because of people who give out triple X websites.
		I don't want anybody misled into, well, heaven knows what, right?
		So those are the rules.
		One sentence.
		Say your sentence, whatever it is.
		Don't say, hi, Art.
		Don't say, how are you, Art?
		Don't even say Roswell's.
unidentified		Nothing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Just give me your sentence, one sentence.
		I'm going to give you about 10 seconds, and I'm going to move on to the next call.
		Now, all of that said, here are the numbers.
		The public number is Area Code 952-225-5278.
		Are you getting this?
		952-225-5278.
		Keep dialing because we're going to move so fast that, you know, once we begin, you'll get through.
		Then also, you can use Area Code 575-208-7787.
		That is presently our creature line.
		Area code 575-208-7787.
		And finally, the first time caller line is also available at Area Code 775-285-5800.
		One more time, 775-285-5800.
		And we're about 10 or 15 minutes away from that point.
		And when we get there, we're just going to go through lines like there's no tomorrow.
		Let's go to Denver and say, yo, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi, Art.
unidentified		I've never been on the radio show before, so I'm real nervous.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, well, just relax.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Take a deep breath.
unidentified		Okay, okay.
		I swear to you, this whole story is true.
		When I was a little kid, I was probably six or seven, so this would have been 76, 77.
		We lived in my family's house, and we had just moved there a couple years before that.
		I had friends and family that came over, and when we were kids, we would stay up late, and we would watch things on TV.
		And several people saw this.
		Two of my cousins saw it, several of my friends, several of my sister's friends, my sister.
		When you were sitting on the couch in the den, you could see through the kitchen to the hallway that went down to the bedrooms.
		And we would see this white figure walk past that doorway.
		And that's all it would ever do.
		And when me and my sister were asleep at night or going to sleep at night, occasionally we would see it walk past.
		And it never did anything but that.
		And it was just this white figure, like the shape of a man, but it had no features.
		So one night, I'm laying in bed, and I used to be just terrified of the dark, just terrified of the dark.
		And I'm laying in bed, and I would wake up at night, and I would call my dad for a glass of water.
		And I didn't really care if I got a glass of water or not.
		I was just scared.
		So I call my dad, and I'm like sitting up in the bed, and I'm like, Daddy, Daddy.
		And the white thing walks past the door and stopped.
		And it had never done that before.
		And it turns around and it looks at me and I'm not at all scared.
		Okay, I should have been.
		If I saw this thing today, I would be terrified.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, we're almost out of time here.
unidentified		Okay, okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
		It said, what do you want?
		And I said, oh, I want my betty.
		And he said, why?
		And I said, because I want a glass of water.
		And then he started talking to me, and I don't remember what he said.
		And then the next thing I know, I'm screaming.
		And my dad comes down the hall with a shotgun.
		And then my mom is in the room with me, crying her eyes out, hugging me.
		And the best way I can describe it is it glowed.
		It was white, and it had a glow to it.
		And it almost looked like the texture of when you look at the moon.
		And my parents would never talk about it.
		And 10 years ago, before my dad died, I asked him about that night.
		And he told me the rest of the story.
		And I don't know if we've got time for that or not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Actually, we don't.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's got to be real fast.
unidentified		Okay.
		Well, he said that they were laying in bed, and he woke up, and he could hear my mom crying.
		And then he was like laying on his back, which he doesn't normally lay on his back.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		10 seconds, sir.
unidentified		Okay, he looked over.
		She's crying.
		He couldn't move.
		She couldn't move.
		And there were these figures standing around him.
		And he heard somebody talking to me.
		And then all of a sudden, I started screaming.
		Everything disappeared.
		And then he ran and got his gun and came in there.
		That's the whole story.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you very much for wrapping it up.
unidentified		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We are now going to engage Fast Blast.
		All of the numbers that I gave you are now operational.
		So when I punch that button, I want you to give me about one sentence that's very important and stop there because that's all the time we've got.
		And here we go.
