February 24, 2007: UFO and Alien Accounts - Dick Criswell
About this episode
Criswell also discusses his involvement with AlphaCom, a project organized by Dr. Michael Wolfe to bring government UFO knowledge to the public. The effort collapsed when the Monica Lewinsky scandal consumed the Clinton administration, making officials reluctant to step forward. He says the witnesses remain available but are bound by secrecy agreements. Criswell shares the aliens warning about coming Earth changes, though specific timelines have proven elusive.
The first hour features open lines with follow-up reports from the intent experiment, shadow people accounts, and a caller near Ground Zero who recalls hearing news coverage of Building Seven being deliberately demolished for structural safety reasons. Art also mentions his cameo appearance in an upcoming Lindsay Lohan film.

From the high desert and the great American Southwest, I bid you all good evening. Good morning, good afternoon. Wherever you may be in the world's time zones, I'm Art Bell. And this is the program that covers every last one of those time zones, Coast Coast AM. It is my honor and privilege to be with you throughout the weekend to guide you as it were through the weekend and a lot of paranormal activity. I suppose, well, no, we'll hold that off for a moment. Looking at the world is always depressing. The webcam shot tonight is well kind of interesting. There came an opportunity to show Aaron Los Angeles and that opportunity came in the form of an invitation to participate in a major motion picture. And so, the picture you see is on the sound stage of a movie called I Know Who Killed Me
with Lindsay Lohan. So, Lindsay is a very, very interesting gal, indeed. Anyway, it's coming out in July and it's just a bit of part. You know, I get to do sort of a little thing that puts together and I can't give away the plot. So, I can't really talk about it, but that's where the photograph came from. And that's a picture of Aaron on a sound stage in Hollywood, a place she's never been. And so, it was kind of exciting. And it was about 10 hours of driving. Now, in a moment, I'm going to have some news from last week's intent experiment. But first, we'll look at the never to be disappointed in how depressing it is, world news. I got a wreck. A suicide truck bomber sent a deadly storm of metal stone and jagged plaster through worshipers, leaving a SUNY moss Saturday killing at least 39 possible
sign of escalating internal SUNY battles between insurgents and those who oppose them. Motive for the attacks was not immediately clear. Probably never will be. Vice President's plane got in a little trouble. Vice President Dick Cheney's plane experienced minor mechanical problems, but was making a while making a refueling stop in Singapore as planned on Sunday. According to the White House, Australian Prime Minister said he had received a report Cheney's plane was being diverted after it took off from Sydney, but did not have any further details. Interesting. Meeting on the grounds of the former Confederate Capitol, the Virginia General Assembly voted unanimously Saturday to express profound regret for the state's role in slavery. That news in the middle west, a fast-moving snowstorm, has closed sections of major highways on the plain Saturday. It dumped more than a foot of snow.
That's a lot of snow on the upper Midwest, caused seven traffic deaths in Wisconsin. Storm knocked out powered more than 145,000 customers, primarily in Iowa, where freezing rain coated trees, power, and utility lines and of course they come down like dominoes. Not good at all. A little bit of ice weighs a whole lot. Indonesian engineers temporarily halted an attempt to plug a fissure that has been gushing mud for nine months after a steel cable hoisting cement balls. That's right, cement balls into the crater broke on Saturday. A hot, noxious mud has displaced 13,000 people, covered dozens of factories, thousands of homes. The mud has blocked major roads into the country's second largest city. My goodness. So they're dumping large concrete balls into it.
This is from a listener I thought it was appropriate. He quotes Einstein here on radio. Einstein said, you see wire telegraph is a very, it's like a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way. You send the signals here and they receive them there. The only difference is there is no cat. That's Einstein. Let me give that to you one more time I like it. You see wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way you send signals here and they receive them there.
The only difference is there is no cat. And that is how Einstein explained radio. All right, we're going to break here and then we're going to review last week's intent experiment. We'll be right back. All right, we're going to review in a moment the results of last week's intent experiment to get them to show themselves. But let me tell you now we're about to go into open lines. Now that means anything you want to talk about is fair game, but those who are more interesting, get more airtime, those who are not interesting and or obviously impaired in some manner. And they're gone very quickly. And while they are on screened open lines, let me emphasize, I do have the button, meaning I can make the last X number of seconds disappear if need be. So to get to us, if you've got something of intense interest, West of the Rockies, 800,
618, 8255 East of the Rockies, 800, 825, 5033. First time callers, versions, area code 818, 501, 4721, wildcard line, area code 818, 501, 4109. Oh, I screwed that up. First time callers, 818, 501, 4721, wildcard line, 818, 501, 4109. And outside the country, 800, 893, 0903. Get hold of your operator. Now, let it ring till I answer. And when I do answer, the first responsibility is yours. And that means turn the radio down. From my co-experiment here, the following, dear art, the Saturday experiment was an undeniable success. There were sightings around the world. Many of them came in from people listening on the internet. I was receiving emails from as far away as you can hand. Canada, also very active. Gulf Breeze, Florida, was a hot spot,
had several sightings. Colorado, Ohio, Sacramento, Berkeley, California, Wisconsin, Illinois, Houston, Austin, Texas, Hawaii, New York, Iowa, as well as many witnesses that failed to say where they were, yet gave incredible reports. Everything from brilliant lights responding to people with flashlights and lasers responding to wishes and so forth intent. This one, I had thousands. I could just go on and on high art. My name is Vicki and I live in Port Huron, the base of the thumb area in Southeast Michigan, wanted to relate to my experience with last night's experiment. I was thoroughly enjoying the show. I got excited when you decided to go ahead with it. So I followed the instructions, looked out the window to cold to go out there, sure enough. I saw a white ball of light in the sky off to the southeast of where I was looking. I also saw, to the west of that, some twinkling lights in the shape of 3D triangles that were spinning and changing colors, kind of like the old screen
savers with the shapes that spin around and change color. It was so cool. It faded after a few minutes, so I went back to the radio. I was afraid my mind was making it all up. So when we did it the second time, I asked that they come closer. So the white light was directly outside my window and guess what? There it was. It had moved from the far southeast to directly outside my window, granted. It was obviously huge and far away, but yet they had answered my request. I got chills at that moment. Again, it faded. So it did the third time, and the white ball of light was back along with a lot of twinkling, white lights about it. How...FnAmazing is that. Thank you so very much for allowing us this opportunity. I believe a shift in human consciousness and awareness is truly happening with intention at the core. The success of what the bleep and now the secret is testament to that. It's exciting, sincerely, Vicki, and I'll hold the last name.
Or this callers from four Southern Somerset County towns, who's in a newspaper, the Sentinel, a reported seeing strange lights in the sky Wednesday night, though activities at night by the Vermont Air National Guard might provide an explanation some sightings were close to the ground. From 735 through 812 PM, the Somerset County Communication Center to call from Anson Fairfield and two other cities that I dare not try to pronounce. The Anson call came from 42 Hilltop Road, not far from town. Caller told the dispatcher, she saw reddish orange UFOs through the trees. Said she saw three diagonal lights, then two, then one, before it all burned up like a comet. Spokesperson from the Vermont Air National Guard confirmed the unit was conducting training missions through the area Wednesday night, and F-16 flying overhead the source head would cause considerable noise. Now they didn't hear noise, they saw lights, and
F-16s move quickly, not slowly. Former Navy Intelligence Crypto Tech Brad Lukeur is a very down-to-earth kind of guy, at 40. Other husband works at a power plant as an operator and walks a straight and narrow, doesn't believe in big-foot aliens or the Loch Ness monster. So, when he saw strange bright lights in the sky above him Tuesday night, he assumed that it was a helicopter, maybe a small plane. Only when he opened the door to his truck, expecting to hear the whore of chopper blades above him, did he begin to wonder what in the world the craft could be? quoting it was really bizarre, I've never seen anything like it, I do a lot of camping. I've seen all the basic stuff in the sky, he said. Most strange things in the sky are high up, he said. This was way way down there. It was so low to the ground, so brightly lit that if first he thought, well, there must be something going on at the industry town hall. I thought, wow,
that's kind of neat. As he got closer though, he realized the lights were coming from something around three hundred feet above. That was when he pulled over, opened the door, sounded like a quiet jet engine. Luka was mystified and a bit nervous at this point. A woman driving in an SUV behind him sought as well. He never got her name, wishes now he had, said, she said that she thought it looked like an aircraft trying to land on the road. I know the Navy has some really funky, special top secret aircraft out there. That's the only thing, other thing I could think it could be. Then it stopped right above his head for a few seconds. Just stopped. That's when it really freaked me out, he said. He thought it was a spaceship, he said, except he doesn't believe in spaceships. So that's kind of typical, a little sample, if you will, of the literally now thousands of reports
we got. Now there are two ways to approach what happened with the experiment. As you know, it's been years since I did an experiment of any sort. But it seemed tailor-made. I guess kept saying intent aren't intent. It's all about intent. And of course, the consciousness experiments and studies that we have done are all intent, oriented, no question about that. So it was too good to pass up, even though I probably should have. I guess you could say either it worked or it was one hell of a coincidence or simply sending people outside is going to get you reports of things in the sky. I don't know really which it was, but I know that you would have to chalk it up. If you saw all the reports I saw, you would
have to chalk it up as some sort of ding, ding, ding, as all the other experiments have been. You could just say, you know, I understand there are those who would say, well, you know, come on. You send a million people outside to look at the sky and you're going to get reports. Some of these are pretty good though, really, really good. First time color line, you're on the air. Hello. Hello, Mark. How are you? I'm quite well. I just have a question about your reverse speech and why you no longer allow that on the air. I don't just allow it. We just haven't had reverse speech on in a very, very long time. I had a disagreement with the fellow who used to do the majority of reverse speech. I kind of remember that. And that kind of ended it. I thought about it. Yeah. And like what he did, but I answered that kind of ended it. That doesn't end as I and I said this at the time and I'll say it now, I still have an intense
interest in the in the possible validity of reverse speech. Who knows? Well, that's what I was curious about. If you still thought it was somewhat of a valid potential information source, do you plan to do that in again? If we come upon somebody who's doing research here in the US, yeah, maybe why not? Sure. And you know, I'll investigate anything. The fact that I had a disagreement with him doesn't stop me from being interested in the technology. Very good. Great. So you appreciate you. All right. Take care, bud. Once again, doing open-on-screened talk radio. Anything you want to talk about? Fair game. West of the Rockies. Your turn. You're on the air. Hello, why are you doing? I'm doing all right. You sound like you're on a cell phone at the end of the earth. Can you hear me on it? Sort of. That's Bob. I've come from over here in Texas. Last Saturday, my sister had a UFO
bomb over Charlotte, North Carolina. Yes, sir. I'm going to hold it there because we've got a very bad connection. I appreciate the fact she had a sighting, a UFO sighting. One of thousands. I mean, just thousands. And again, I guess I'm not declaring it a unilateral, absolute, unambiguous success. However, I do have thousands of reports. So from that point of view, yes, but you've got to hold out for the, what would you call it? The placebo effect? I don't know. I just know that every time we have tried an experiment, we've had success. That doesn't mean I'm going to run to do a million of them. It just means of the batting average is damn good. East of the Rockies, you're on the air. Hi, Art Bell. Yes, distinguished thyrodeo, please. And it's taking me forever to get through. Okay. Well, through you are.
Well, I just wanted to say that my favorite shows that you do and you seem at your very most giddyest is when you do the EVP shows. So I'd like to hear another one of those soon. Or maybe like a best of EVP show. Okay. Yeah, they're pretty scary things. That would be awesome. Now I have one more question. I was wondering if you ever intend to interview Alex Jones. Probably not. Okay. Yeah. I mean, I figured you guys had your disagreements. All right. I've never, I've never interviewed Alex. So we don't have disagreements per se because we have never spoken. However, I know without question what his position is. What I am going to do is I'm going to hold a discussion with all of you on 9-11. That I'm going to do. I'm not going to bring any of the so-called experts on on either side of the question. I'm going to, I guess, kind of do a giant poll and discussion with the audience. We're going to find out how many how many people.
Now, I know that given that opportunity, all of the 9-11 conspiracy groups will gather their forces together and try and flood the lines. But there are millions of people out there. So what we'll have is an open discussion one of these days. I promised it a couple of weeks ago on 9-11. I'm not afraid of it. I just don't, I don't happen to believe it, but I think there are a sufficient number of people out there that do believe it in now to warrant a discussion about it. In terms of having an advocate for either side on the air, I don't, I don't think I'm going to do that. So either on a wildcard line, you are on the air. Hello, Art. This is Walter from of an Eatonville, Washington. Yes. And I've talked to you before about, I asked you about if you would be willing to do the mass consciousness on if God would show up or not. Now, the reason I did it was because
I have a similar situation here as James Gilliam, Gilliam, about I can ships to appear here. But the way I do it is to eliminate the demons and everything else. I, it's something I always focus on something to do with God. And so I thought the experiment, basically what you did was you were asking God to show up. Do you think that's what I was doing? Well, you, you said you didn't want that the meditation was to focus away from all demons and everything else. Well, if you were to, so, and you were, you were after a, actually, I don't, I don't recall saying that. What I recall saying was, I asked everybody to focus on a joyous moment in their life. And then on top of that, to try and focus on or to project intent to have them, whoever they are, show up. That's how I recall it. Hello? Gilliam was also trying to delete the fear of demons is what he was. Oh,
absolutely correct. Yeah, he was. He is aware, as I am aware, that people faced with something new, particularly of that magnitude, seeing something that doesn't belong in our airspace above your head is a scary thing. And if you are of a particular religious persuasion, it could well be that you think you're going to think you're facing a demon. So sure, it's possible. And that's why I think we had people sort of focus on a joyous moment. We wanted it to be a happy affair. And the showing not to be, you know, like the end of a bad movie. I'm Art Bell. Somebody named Kelly from Idaho sent me an email said, my grandma asked me to email this to you, thought it was really important, thought you ought to know about it. It comes from the, let me see, what is it? Idaho gives that, I think. Let me make sure. No, Idaho observer, proper credit. Headline GAO report admits chaff in chemtrails. Now listen very carefully,
the Idaho observer reports it in May this year, a family in Iowa contacted the office of Senator Tom Harkin to report the constant crisscrossing of chemtrails in the sky above their neighborhood. They received back from the Senator's office a GAO report on military chaff and the material safety data sheet for aluminum coated fiberglass fibers being spread seven days week for several hours each day in the skies above their home. The chaff is spread by pilots, learning how to mask planes, send false radar images. We all know that. It was reported that the military also has lead based chaff, but not being used right now. Chaff was used by the military in Europe and World War II. And according to the GAO, had been used in training here at home since the 1950s. Once chaff reaches the ground, breaks into little particles enough to, inhale, though military spokespeople insist the chaff isn't harmful. Listen very carefully to this part. The GAO report concluded that health officials and effects, health officials have no
idea what the effects are and more studies are needed. Among the substances found to be in the samples were several that simply ought not be there. Six bacteria, including anthrax and pneumonia, nine chemicals, including a settling and chloride, 26 heavy metals, including arsenic, gold, lead, mercury, silver, uranium, and RMC. Whatever that is, seven viruses, two cancers, two vaccines, and two sedatives. Or last several months, the observer has received a significant increase in chemtrail-related calls and letters. Most reported dramatic increase in chemtrail spraying activity in their areas. Some are reporting the development of chronic flu-like symptoms, chronic fatigue, and body aches that have never before been explained. We'll be right back. Coming up in about 30 minutes, Dick Chriswell on UFO paranormal activity. So that'll be tonight. And then tomorrow night, Jim Sparks, who clearly was the best UFO abductee that I think has ever
been interviewed by anybody on the air anywhere. And we'll explore that, which we didn't have time to do previously. So it's going to be a very, very interesting weekend. A wildcard line, you're on the air. Hello. Hey, Art, it's Richard in New York. I can't believe I got through. And yet, here you are. And here I am. I've been trying to call you a number of times, especially when you get talking about 9-11. And here's something you might want to put out, you know. At times, I think I might have been, might be an alternate universe or something. Now, I'll tell you why I say that. I lived for 29 years within a quarter of a mile from ground zero. And I'll never forget that day or the events that pursued after it, you know. And one of the things that I remember clearly on the media and everything is when building number seven, you know, yes. That building when it went down, that was deliberately detonated. Well, and the reason it is your opinion. Oh, no, no, no. This came
over in my world and the people that I know. Your world. This what? Your world. Yeah, where I live in the city. Okay. But I mean, how what proof do you have to offer that it was deliberately detonated? Oh, not not not as a terrorist act or anything. The structure with the the integrity of the structure was in doubt because of the collapse of the two trade towers. Okay. I don't remember it was the fire department or the National Guard, but one of them deliberately brought the building down because it was a risky structure after that. That may be, but I'm not aware of it. Everybody has questioned what happened to building seven. And people say that and I can't say why are they saying that they brought? Well, why are they saying that if in fact, some agency actually did bring it down for the reasons you stated, which would be logical, but I know of no such statement. I wonder if anybody else ever heard this because it was it was it was publicly broadcast on the media. Well, I remember, I mean, those those days, you know, but if it
had been, that would answer the question of so many conspiracy theorists and quiet them down on that subject that I think it would be big news. But that's really how the rest of the world sees it, you know, sometimes, you know, like you say from time to time, you hear about somebody dying and you say, no, that person isn't dead or you in your own mind, you think someone's dead and then someone says, no, he didn't die. All right. Well, you were. Okay. So you're saying that you were in effect in an alternate universe, one in which it was announced publicly that that building was brought down for safety reasons, which by the way, would be fairly logical, but I'm not aware of any such statement that was made by any agency and I'll have to leave it at that if anybody's aware of anything to the contrary by all means, let me know. What's to the Rockies? You're on the air. Hi. Hello. Yes. Are we all right? You're down. We're quick. Yes. Oh, yes. Pleasure. My name is Darren. Yes, Darren. I'm from Laytonville, California. Yes, sir.
Tomorrow's my birthday. I'll be 48. And in night in in I've had MS now for 15 years. And I would like to share some things with the audience. If I may. Okay. Well, it's like three years old. I had three questions. Where am I? Where'd I come from? And what is my purpose? And everybody I have 48 years of age, you probably still have them. No, actually, I found the answer because I spent my whole life studying to answer those questions. And the answers are? The answers are. There's nothing that happens at random. Things happen because certain forms could cause to cause that action. And if you ask about all the world religions, was it take to go to God all of Buddha or heaven or that higher level of consciousness? It's the same formula. Three things. Knowledge wisdom and faith. Knowledge is true. Wisdom is to know that truth from deception. And faith is the most powerful force known to life on all levels of its existence. Well, I'm I'm I'm envious of you that you have that faith. I wish I had that kind of concrete
faith. Faith is an absolute leaf in something that you cannot prove. And I can't say that I have that. I I lean very heavily toward believing that there is a creator, a God. I believe there is a God or there is a universal intelligence or something. I really do lean that way. But in terms of being able to say, I have absolute faith. No. And so I envy you that it's very comforting. I'm sure it used to the Rockies. You're on the air. Yeah, my Dwayne from Texan. Hello, Dwayne. Yeah, I was going to agree with that color you had before this last one. I did hear something on the news. I think I was watching Diane Sawyer the day that happened. And so you also think you heard something about seven being brought down for structural weakness purposes, whatever. Correct. And it was well, I didn't I did hear it at some point. All right, I appreciate the report. And
anybody else who heard that and actually said Diane Sawyer, if anybody else is able to scratch up a copy of the report or anything else, obviously that would be of intense interest to many of us. And I can imagine that would be the case, can't you? That they felt seven was perhaps structurally weakened dramatically so by what happened with the World Trade Centers. And so they brought it down. But again, I'm really unaware of such a statement by anybody. Wild card line, you're on the air. Hi. Hi, I want to tell a story about some alien tourists. All right, turn turn your radio off, please. That is number one. Okay, it's off. Okay. Okay. In 98, I was working in my shop on some airplane parts I was building. And I had this terrible, terrible feeling of being watched. And I happened to notice that my cats were staring at something I couldn't see by the door.
So I took a chance that I said, I know you guys are here. Talk to me. So in the back of my mind, I hear this voice that says, why do you make these things? I said, it pleases me and it makes me happy. And while they were mulling on that, I says, tell me how your invisible machines work. And they said, there are many ways. I said, show me. So I flew out of my body towards one of these gray aliens that were in my in my garage. And I got smaller and smaller, atomically small. And I passed through the atoms of his bio suit. And I arrived in the area where I saw millions of millions of orbiting atoms around, millions of millions of electrons orbiting around copper atoms. And full sizes would have been a plate of metal underneath the suit. And excuse me, my cat is
sitting on my script. Why do you have a script? Well, it's going to take five minutes and I want to have the thing. I don't actually, I don't have five minutes. So put your script away and just kind of tell me what shorten it as much as I can. Yeah, don't read from the script. Anyway, they had an entity in this copper plate where all these orbiting were at. And the thing came up to me and I said, what do you do? And it says, I look and I said, show me. And I saw myself standing there with a yellow light sticking in my eye paralyzed. And another one came up and I said, what do you do? And it says, I do things where the other one looks. And I said, show me. And it went to the panic center of my brain. And it says, if I put energy here, you don't remember that we were here. You are paralyzed. And if I go farther on into your brain, I can explore all your memories. And I thought, espionage. And I said, oh. And then another really big one came
along. And I said, what are you doing? It says, I program these other entities. And I thought, oh, wow, I said, you program living beings into copper atoms. I said, and it's a yes. And then I thought about this missile site thing in the Midwest where they shut down the missile sites. I should be honest, yes. And I realized that they could program into the copper wires, electronic beings that were programmed to sit there and quietly wait, allow us to use these things for tests and for maintenance, but never to use them in anger. And they did the same thing to their Russians. As a matter of fact, they did. Now all of this is very, very well documented. And you can you can believe it or not, but in fact, they did two things to the United States. They hovered craft over some of our ICBM sites and shut them down. They literally shut down. I interviewed
several of the fellows who worked in the silos when this occurred. And these craft shut our ICBMs down. Pure and simple, shut them down. Took quite a while to get them going again. In Russia, there was a similar occurrence, only a little scarier. Instead of shutting them down, they set a launch sequence, began to arm and set a launch sequence simultaneous with the sighting of a saucer craft above Russian ICBM sites. They actually began a countdown. The Russians ended up tearing all of the consoles out, all of the equipment going through it, piece by piece, never figured out what happened, why it happened, or any of the rest of it. But both nations experienced something very serious of that sort. So you can make of that what you will, you can look it up and verify it on your own. Wild card line, you're on the air.
Yes, sir, Harry, you denied Mr. R. Bell. By well, thank you. It is a pleasure, and I've been waiting to make this call for years, and I just found out you a few years ago and all won in a summer there. Just about the time you hurt your back, you had a fellow on from Texas who claimed to be like you, used to be in a Vietnam, and was like special forces. They claimed to have been on a hunting trip and killed a big foot. Oh, yes. And he was really freaked out. I remember that night. I listened to the whole program, and I was on the edge of my truck driver's seat going down the road, listening to the story, and I wondered, did you ever have any follow-up with this fellow? Or did he just kind of disappear? No, there, okay. No, there was a follow-up. Now, that man claimed to have shot and, in fact, buried two big foot. He had a map. He knew where they were buried. I did a follow-up program with him. His wife was extremely concerned. He was extremely concerned.
We offered to get him counsel to get him a lawyer, but his wife talked to him out of it on the basis that he could have been charged with a crime. And I guess you have to understand that when it gets down to brass tax, put yourself in that position. Let's say you were out hunting. And you ended up killing a couple of things that were sort of semi-human. Harry, big foot, clearly not really human, but semi-human, human in form. Perhaps hair-covered, but human in form. You would be extremely concerned. And if you weren't your wife or your husband or your relative, close relative, certainly would be that you could potentially be charged with some sort of crime. And that's exactly what occurred. And she talked him out of doing any of the rest of it. Now, I've got an open invitation to him. Anytime he'd like to change his mind, perhaps as he gets older, he will. We would be glad to
conduct an expedition to that site. Do the digging because I believed him. And I think many of the rest of you did as well. And see if the remains could be salvaged. First time color line, you're on the air. Hello. Oh, hello. Yes. You know, the experiment Art Bell is talking about. Would you watch the skies? Okay, this is Art Bell. And you're talking about the experiment we did last week, right? Yes, sir. Okay, what about it? Yeah, out of Enthendiago. And I noticed in the sky, there is light. I couldn't tell what they were. Yes. Okay, well, I appreciate the report there is one of many. One of thousands. We had literally thousands of reports. And again, I'm open-minded enough
to on the one side, clearly declare it as a success. But on the other side, hold out the possibility that anytime you send millions of people outside, they're going to see things. Now, are they going to see things that aren't there? No. Are they going to see things that are possibly from elsewhere? Well, perhaps. So in other words, I don't want to make too big a deal out of it. But I think it was a it wasn't success. What's to the Rockies? You're on the air. Hello. Hello, this is Susan. Hello, Susan. Hello. Where are you? I'm in Washington state. Okay. And I've had several experiences that don't seem to happen to other people.
You must be in other people who don't listen to this program. I guess. Yes, sir. What kind of experiences? Well, I've seen a shadow person, but it wasn't a dark shadow. It was a light shadow. And my eyes were closed, and I could see him walking up to me. And he put a little box on my lap, and it was light. And it was like I could see it and see it, but my eyes were still closed. And he put earphones over my ears, and this white light went shooting through. And he just took the earphones off my ears, and put it back in the case, and went walking off. And I opened my eyes. And what did you make out of all that? I just didn't make anything out of it. I was kind of in shock.
Yeah, like, um, shadows are supposed to be dark, and they weren't. And I've had one out of the body experience. Yeah, maybe going back to your shadow person experience for a moment, maybe we could conclude that if you have a shadow person experience and your eyes are open, it appears dark or as a shadow, as described by so many. But if on the other hand, your eyes are closed, and you're experiencing the presence of an extra dimensional being nearby, they appear as white or light. In other words, the opposite of what you've got, which with your eyes closed, obviously, is a sort of darkness, right? So you would not perceive a shadow. So to be perceived, it would have to be light. That's sort of another take on shadow people. From the High Desert and the Great
American Southwest, I'm Art Bell. Here I am. Coming up in a moment, Dick Criswell. Dick Criswell's first encounter with the UFO Paranormal World was at the age of six. At 17, he listened to Frank Edwards, a news reporter for WTTV in Indianapolis, Indiana, who would focus on UFO Paranormal topics and investigations, and that sparked his interest as I hope we do with this program with many of you, creating what I hope is the next generation of uphologists. With the developing fascination of UFO Paranormal Research in the Indianapolis area, Mr. Criswell hosted UFO Paranormal meetings in his home. During that time, he met Richard Hogland, who introduced him to Dr. Michael Wolfe. In 1994, Mr. Criswell became a team member on a project with Dr. Wolfe called the Alpha Comm. In 1997, he hosted a national radio show on the cable news network called
Starfire Program. Dick Criswell is now a retired fellow and is dedicating countless hours of his time to research and investigating UFOs and Paranormal. He is currently in talks with fellow enthusiasts and is creating a business plan to begin a national UFO Paranormal Research Facility. In a moment, Dick Criswell, and I'm sure you've all been reading in the news or seeing on TV, the incredible storm that's going through the Midwest right now, that Criswell is apparently right in the middle of it, although I guess he's on the far edge of it right now. It's already passed by and he's got a telephone that's going to go away if he loses power. Dick, welcome to the program. Well, hello, Art. Nice to talk to you and thank you for having me as a guest. It's great to have you. When did all your interest in the world of UFOs and the Paranormal begin?
Actually, it started when I was age six, but at 17, I started investigating and researching the topics of UFOs and Paranormal. How old are you now? I am almost 60. Okay, so we're about the same age. You've been doing this all your life then. Yes, I have. It'll be very, very interesting to talk to a researcher, especially for the first time, who and sort of see what your conclusions are after all these years. Well, they have changed over the years. I mean, there's nothing that I have encountered that's concrete. It just seems to change. Well, in what way? Well, when I think I've got a handle on the whole gamut of the UFO field, it just seems to change on me. It's like I have always thought that this UFO enigma would be explained by the United States
government and it hasn't been. No, certainly not satisfactorily. They've taken a couple of shots at, for example, explaining Roswell, but it seemed more like a comedy. Oh, yeah, that's, remember that? Glad. You remember that? Oh, yes. Very visiting. Yes, it was high comedy, actually. The little dummies they held up and all the rest of them. All right. Well, let's go back a little bit. What's Alpha Com? Alpha Com was a team that was set up to tell the American people exactly what the government knew. And it basically was to bring forward all the knowledge that they knew about the aliens, different craft. And this was, this was all supposed to come forward. Then it never did.
Oh, wait, just a moment. Alpha Com was an organization formed to get all the knowledge of the American government to the American people. Now, that would imply, was this your organization? No, it wasn't not my organization. It was Dr. Michael Wolfe's organization. Dr. Wolfe's, did he have contacts in the government that were ready to sing? Yes, yes, several. Oh, really? Oh, yes. And how, what fell apart? Well, we had Mr. Clinton in office. And what happened was the Monica Lewinsky scandal come up. And they felt that they wouldn't be credible after that. Yeah, it did kind of take over the headlines for a while. There's no question about that. So what happened to the witnesses, the government witnesses that were lined up?
They're still out there is a matter of fact. There are several witnesses that I'm still in contact with. Can you name them? No, I cannot. Because? Well, they'd be names that you would know. And I had signed an agreement, the secrecy agreement that I would not reveal certain things. But I thought the entire basis of alphacam was to reveal that knowledge. Well, it was. It was supposed to come forward, but under my agreement, I was not allowed to divulge names until this came forward. And to this very day, you're bound by that agreement? Oh, you're never led out of that agreement. Uh-huh. All right. Let's move to something you can talk about then. Okay. That would be you apparently have had some sort of experience yourself with the
grays. Is that correct? That is correct. All right. When was that? And what was that? It was in 1953 when I lived in Wheeling, West Virginia. We lived on a farm. And I was playing one day in my yard. We had about 30 acres on this farm. And out of nowhere, I'd never seen a craft or anything like that. But these two grays appeared. And the grays were about three foot tall, three and a half foot tall. And of course, you know, the typical with a cranium heads and so forth. And the interesting thing, Art, when they would talk to me, they wouldn't move their lips. It was just kind of like if you've ever experienced like a Bose wave system, this was in my head. It was kind of telepathic. Right. And it was an experience
that that I'd never had. And I couldn't get over the fact that they couldn't talk like we did. It was just like a thought that came in my head and it was just just tremendous. I mean, it was all right. What did they, what did they communicate to you? They told me things, Art, like one day you will be our emissary. They told me certain things like we have a universal God. Different things, they told me that there would be circumstances where I would understand clearly. And different things like I would ask them because I knew that at the age of six that they didn't look like like we did. I wanted to know where they lived. And they told me that they came from a star system that I wouldn't understand. Did they have a craft? I'd never seen a craft, Art,
at that time. Just the grays. How many? There was two. There was two grays. Did they, was there any physical contact? No, not that I can recall. They would, they would get within, oh, I'd say maybe two foot of me, two foot of me. And I just thought they were, you know, nice playmates because they, they just kind of were entertaining the way they moved. So, again, your age at 1953 would have been about what? Six. Six. Oh, that was a very beginning, okay. Well, that'd get you interested, all right. And, and how did, were there many of these encounters or just one? Over the period of, I'd say about, well, until I was age 17, it would just come and go. I mean, it was, it was kind of a
hit and miss type thing. It wasn't a, it wasn't a constant ongoing thing. But the other thing that, that was really interesting about these grays, we lived in a two-story farmhouse. And these grays would come through the walls. And, and what scared me more than anything is they would just, just appear. They, they'd come through the wall just like it was nothing. And they told me that if I understood the concept, I could do the same thing. But all I could do was bruise myself. So you tried a couple of walls? Oh, yes. Oh, yes. I did not work. Did you back up and take a good run at them or just more gingerly approach them? No, I gingerly approached them, but, but it still would, would put bruises on me. Yeah. Did they come in on your seeming inability to, you know,
go through them? Yes, they told me, they told me that I didn't understand the concept of, of going through, I'm trying to think of the word, they didn't use the word mass, but I, I use it now, you know, but they told me that I didn't understand the concept. And, and one day, I would be able to do that. And I still, to this day, can't do that. Did you tell anybody else your parents, others about these encounters? Did not tell my parents until I was about 45 years of age, art, for the simple fact, for the simple fact, my parents did not believe this stuff. Oh, well, a lot of people don't, Dick. Yeah, I know. A lot of people don't. They're very much in doubt. And while we're on the subject, how sure are you that this really occurred in the real
world that you weren't sleeping, that you weren't having some sort of hallucination or any of the above? Art, I'm 100% sure that this happened to me. Okay. Was there any overriding important message or thing they told you that we should know? One of the things that they told me that his bothered me clear to this day was the fact that we would be going through some troubling times. And, and they said that I would understand it fully when I become at the age of 50. Well, that's come and went. So, you know, I don't know what to make of that. Other than the fact that I think that it might have been this earthcoming changes that I know about. Coming earth changes of what kind? Well,
cataclysmic things, kind of like things that you wrote in your book. You mean climate change? Yes. Did they, as they have with many people, many abductees, they've actually shown them pictures of what's coming. Did you get any of that? I never saw any any pictures that they had. They just told me these things. I mean, they never there was no, and I have abductees that tell me the same thing. Dick, what did you do for a living all your life when you were working? Yes, I was a machinery paramount. Just fixed machines and so forth, and I've been that all my life. What kind of machines? Production machines. I work for a bearing manufacturer, and we would work on screw machines and various different production things for ball bearings.
Okay, well, that's a very straightforward kind of job. And so you were working man, all your life, and this seems like, I don't know, seems like an experience that's sort of so far away from what you would expect somebody with your background to have. Any idea why you? As I look back upon it, Art, I get bits and pieces from my parents now that will discuss certain things that happen to them. They they had an experience, but I had to really brag it out of them. And as I have learned in my research that that this kind of runs in families. And what did your parents say? I mean, in other words, were they too visited? Did they have a sighting or an abduction experience or what? Well, my mother basically will not talk about
her experience, but she said it was a very frightening experience. But my father told me about an experience that he had in wheeling. It probably was in the mid-30s. And he said that this craft came above him and a couple other people. And it blacked out the sky. And he said that what was interesting about it, it actually blacked it out so much that it took street lights. You couldn't even see the street lights. So this thing must have really been low. And I said to him, I said, well, how big was this thing? And he says, oh, it had to be a couple miles long. And he said that he kind of forgot about it, kind of like they took his memory away. And it was one of those things that he didn't talk about until I really, really pressed him for it.
So both your parents had something happen. And obviously you did. And from the age of six through 17, you had, could you even guess at how many visits? Art, I've tried to think about that. And I can't really give you a concrete answer on that, but it's been, it was several times. Okay. So only several times. In other words, once a year, perhaps every couple of years, that kind of thing? It could have been like twice a year, three times a year, something like that. And then when I became about in my teens, it was more frequent. It was probably like, oh, maybe four or five times a year. Okay. Well, how's your recollection from the teen visits? You would think your recall of those would be much better.
That's really interesting that you asked me that because it seems like the older I get, the more I remember about this. And you know, it should be just the opposite. It just seems like I'll remember bits and pieces of little things that really, to me, don't mean anything. And I look for those things in abductees that I interview. Well, Dick, there are many who say that abductees are given a kind of a screen memory. And it may well be that after a period of time that begins to break down and more and more of what you experience begins to get through. Do you think that's possible? Yes, I think that's quite possible. How would you describe their main motive in visiting you? I don't really, really know other than the fact that when they basically told me that I was
going to be an emissary, I guess that's what I am now. I'm speaking for them. Okay. All right, if you're speaking for them, Dick, what is the main message that just that earth changes catastrophic events are on the way? Well, that and that they do exist. I mean, I think my life's work basically is explaining to people that they do exist in this story that some people try to tell that they don't exist is a fairytale. Can you describe them in detail physically? Yes, they were about three and a half foot tall. They had the wrap around eyes. They had a big head on them. It appeared to me, Art, that if they had wore anything, it was kind
of like a tight knit type suit. I did not see any shoes on these people. It was kind of like all one like like the kids that wore the blanket sleepers that had the feet in them. Were you under the impression, Dick, that they were machines or biological entities? You know, Art, when I first met them, I thought that they were basically a human in nature, but as they would come back, it was more kind of like a robot. All right, hold it right there, Dick. We'll be right back. From coast to coast and well beyond on occasion, this is coast to coast AM. Here I am indeed. We've got a very regular kind of guy on the phone here at Dick Frisswell. He's been visited since he was the age of six and had a lot of visits between six and 17 years of age. We're sort of rolling over what it seemed to be all
about and what they told him and all the usual questions for somebody who's had a visitation or an abduction experience back to Dick Frisswell in a moment. Once again, Dick Frisswell, your website is CanYouStandTheTruth.com, right? That is correct. I can. What is it? The truth is that we have been visited for a long, long time. There was a phrase that the ex files had that said they've been coming here for a long time, and that is the truth. How long do you know? I mean, do you honestly know the history of visitation to Earth? Well, let's put it this way. They were coming here in biblical times because there's several references in the Bible that the talk of Ezekiel talks about the fire, firing, and so forth,
and I know that they've been coming that long. I have seen documents saying about how long they thought they were coming here. Okay. You have a question here that says, who is Philip Corso? Well, Dick, I interviewed Philip Corso many, many times. I know who he is. What do you know about him? Okay. Dr. Wolf had in our discussions. He told me that one day, and now this was way before Corso came out. He said, one day you will hear about Philip Corso, and he has a fantastic story to tell, and it was all true. Well, he certainly did. Very fantastic. And I believed him. He had very little to lose. He knew he was toward the end of his life, Dick, and I believed
every word of what he had to say. Do you have anything for us beyond that on Philip? Other than the fact that Dr. Wolf had told me that everything that he had been told by Corso was true, especially about the Roswell thing, the only thing that he said beyond that is he said, most people will not believe the story because they felt like he would not have the clearances to do that. So that's what I know about that story. Okay. What about the species of aliens that are here on Earth? Do you obviously have the grays? Do you know of others? Do you know how many are here? When I was in the AlphaCom team, I've seen documents, and I can talk about that. You say you cannot talk about that? No, I say I can talk about that. Okay. I saw these documents that showed that they knew of at least 70 different species,
that's 70. I hear a lot of people talking about that they know 17. I believe that that story is way low because I knew of about 70, and we're looking about 1994. I think I've seen these documents. Okay. What was the province of these documents? Where were they from, Dick? When I went to Dr. Wolf's home, I asked him if I could see some documents that would kind of zero in on what aliens look like, where they come from, so forth. He said, I'll take care of that. So when I went there, I opened up this document after he presented it to me, and it showed sketches and some pictures of live and dead aliens.
Sketches and photographs. Yes. And where did these documents come from? Do you know? Because there's a lot of stuff floating around out there. I understand that. I believe that these documents come from the government some way because it had, at the top of these documents, it would have black and eyes only type thing. And it was something that I had looked at when I signed the documents to keep whatever they told me quiet. You have something here about what do aliens call you? Yes. What do you mean by that? Well, there are two things that the aliens call me. When I was a child, they called me the emissary. And here recently, I come across a gentleman
that had no way of knowing me. And he was telling me that these aliens call me the portal. I said, well, how do you know that these were aliens? And he says, well, they told me things that they had no way of knowing. So that's what I know about. Okay. If you are the emissary, if you are the portal, then you should have a very strong message for us of some sort from them about us or our future or something. You did say the stuff I wrote about in my book. Actually, the book with Whitley Streiber. So at least I assume that's the book you're referring to. Yes. Yes. Okay. Can you elaborate beyond what I wrote in the book? Other than the fact that I believe that the reason
the aliens are here now is to work us through some cataclysmic events that are about to happen. And I believe that this is all going to come to a head basically on the year 2012 or that era and maybe before because I think that that total 2012 is off by three to five years. You claim that you've been given some objects by UFO researchers, right? What sort of objects? I was given a picture that was of an alien that was a reptoid and it was one of these pictures art that actually it was a researcher, but this guy was, should I say from FEMA,
give me this picture and it was like a colored pictures and I said, well, can I take these to the photo mat and have these done? No, you can't do that. You've got to reproduce them some way here. Federal emergency management, right? Yes. Why would he be in possession of photographs of that sort? He was also a, he was also a CIA type agent at one time and then he became a state, the state FEMA director here and he was very interested in the subject and he knew that I was looking for information. I see. So he just up and gave these photographs to you or you said he said you could not copy them so in some way you ended up with a copy, you still have it or what? I still have a copy, yes. Do you have that up on the web? No, but we're going to get that up there.
There are two areas. There are UFOs and then there's the world of paranormal. Do you find the two are connected or are they separate things? In other words, are UFOs actual craft that have made it here? Heaven knows how considering the speed of light limitation that we believe we know about or are UFOs part of the paranormal world in your opinion? I believe they're part of the paranormal world but I also believe that the UFOs come here by not our scientific explanations. You got to understand I think that we think in a different level we're not as advanced as these beings that come in these crafts. I believe they come in like a stargate type situation or a
like a portal basically and they can go into these stargates and they can come out and it doesn't take them that long. I think that's the problem that most people have, they say, you know, it takes so long to get from one planet to the other. Well, you got to think that maybe we're not thinking about the right scientific thing. It's kind of like a caveman if we'd give him a DVD player he wouldn't know what to do with it. So we are to them as the ant would be to us. That's correct. Well, with these coming cataclysm that you describe as the main message that they carry, do they plan to intervene or are they just warning us? I think there's a warning and I think that there's also a, I think that they're there when this happens to help us in some way and they're
not allowed to get involved in it until this happens. But at the critical moment whenever that should happen to be, your convinced they will intervene. I'm almost positive that something will happen there derived by them. You've met Richard Hoagland, I guess, right? Oh, yes. Well, I've met him over the phone. I've never met him in person. Very interesting guy. Yes, he is. All right. Well, there's a question here about how many resources you have in your own collection. What do you mean by resources? Photographs, documents, that kind of thing? Well, books, audio, videos. I have thousands of those in my collection. So you've been a collector of UFO materials, video and audio and books and that sort of thing? Correct, correct.
I'm trying to get where we're going with this interview. You've obviously had an experience. Where else are we supposed to go with the interview? What else would you like to talk about? We can talk about ghost experiences and things like that if you want. You've had ghost experiences at the same time. Yes, and I find that ghost experiences occur to people that have had UFO experiences and it just seems like it's more, it happens after a UFO experience or before and I find that with some of my abductees that they've had some kind of experience with the paranormal. Do you interview a lot of abductees? Yes. And what causes them to come to you? They were either referred to me by an individual or
or for some reason they just seek me out by word of mouth or whatever in the area. If somebody wants to contact you, how would they do that? They can contact me through the website which is can you stand the truth.com? It's a dick at can you stand the truth.com? They can they can also reach me at my cell phone which is I don't think I unless you really want to I don't think I'd give that out on the air dick but that's up to you. That's that's quite alright because it's got a voice box and I can always get back to them. Go right ahead. Okay. It is 317 area code 796 7530 and they can they can reach me that way. Oh by all means give that again 317 796 7530 7530 okay or they can call the
the 1-800 number. Oh you have a 1-800 number? Yes. Okay. And that's connected to the website. It's a 1-800-420-693-6. What is that 800 number for? That's to leave a message for me to get back to them if they want to report sightings or they're an abductee or they have some kind of paranormal event. That's got to cost money. How are you funding all of this? Well we have some investors that are very interested in the subject and we have some people doing it because they they understand that this needs to be done. So you're turning yourself into a kind of a reporting facility? That is correct. And are you then able to follow up with investigation if you if you've got something hot? Yes. Yes. We can do that. We can actually go to the
we can actually go to the site. We have enough on the team that can do that. Okay. When you say team what do you mean? You've got yourself and who else? Well I have assembled various different people that ghost hunters, people that do bigfoot. I've assembled people that are that do the out of body, psychic events, various different things in the paranormal. I see. How many are on your team if I might ask? At the present there are 12 but there are others in different states that we can we can call on to do these things in various different states. So you're chasing virtually everything in the paranormal world from ghosts to I presume shadow people, that sort of thing, and then on to UFOs and the occupants of their craft. That is correct. Do you have any physical
evidence, Dick? Yes, I do art. I'm listening. I have I have metal that came from a crushed UFO. And what have you determined about this metal? It has been to seven different independent labs. The only thing that they said that it has earthly product or anything that we would know on earth would be silicon. And it's very interesting. It's very light. It was found in months of Indiana after a crash. And it has some healing properties as well. Okay, other than the silicon, which is earthly, what unearthly things have you found in it?
Unearthly things? Yes. Well, that it will do some healing. No, no, I'm at material. In other words, it's composed of apparently several different things beyond silicon, right? Correct, correct. The only the the analysis came back. And the only like I said, the only thing that they could find that in the things with silicon. And it looks like. Wait a minute, you mean it's composed entirely of silicon? No, no. Okay, what what I'm trying to get at is what are the other properties? It looks like cold fusion. When you look at it under a microscope, it has like little computer chips. It's very interesting. All right. Well, let's get the information out again on how to contact you since you volunteered that. Most guests won't do that. But your phone number is area code 317. This is
a cell number, right? Correct. 317. 796. 7530. Am I correct? That is correct. All right. And the 1-800 number, which is a free call for anybody, is 1-800-420-693-6, repeating 1-800-420-693-6. Listen, Dick, I want to thank you for being here tonight. It's been interesting. And obviously, you're kind of a common guy who's devoted his life to UFO paranormal research. And so thank you for being here. Well, thank you very much. And you have a good night, my friend. You do the thing. All right. What we're going to do, folks, is we're going to split here at the top of the hour. And when we come back, we're going to do open lines and perhaps a little more from the high desert and the great American Southwest. I'm Art Bell just sort of getting through the night with you. Stay right where you are. Indeed, here I am. Good morning, everybody. Well, all right. We have two
hours of unscreened open lines directly ahead. Anything you want to talk about is fair game with the following caveat. And that is that those of you that are interesting, have something of great interest to discuss on the air, will find yourself getting quite a bit of air time. Those who don't won't. It's kind of just that simple. Now, beyond that, the only rule is when you get on the air, turn your radio off. In other words, have your have your hand actually poised on the volume control to turn it all the way down and or preferably actually off when you get on the air. Otherwise, you'll get a sort of a, I don't know, about a 30-second delay or something. And it will confuse you mightily. And it'll make you sound confused on the air, something you definitely don't want. I'm sure. So immediately turn your radio off. Without a mind, you've got the numbers, the portals as it were. And in a moment, it's all yours. And away we go, unscreened
open lines. First time caller line, you are on the air. Hi, Art. This is Scott from Brooklyn, New York. Thank you for taking my call. You bet Scott. I wanted to tell you about, first, I'm a skeptic about ghosts. Rather, I was a skeptic about ghosts. I want to share with you a story of New Jersey where I saw, well, it was either a ghost or a shadow person. I don't know exactly what a shadow person is, but based on what I've heard, it very well could have been. Have you heard of weird New Jersey? Oh, yes. I have the, I get the magazine. Yeah, absolutely fantastic. And I was on a business trip in New Jersey. And my co-worker's and I on a Saturday night. No idea what to do. Picked up a copy of weird New Jersey and decided to go ghost hunting. And not too much success until we went to a place called Pig Lady Road in a summerville, New Jersey. We tried following all of it. It's near the door, stook a state,
tried following all these crazy instructions, hog the horn, flash the lights, nothing happens. Get out of the car. We walk down this wooded muddy road. The car was definitely not going to be able to get down. We walked down this road standing there. And between us and the car, now I'm not colorblind. The car was dark red. You could clearly see the color of the car. Between us and the car, after a couple of minutes of standing there, we see a silhouette of a person. Cannot believe my eyes. I'm like, and I'm asking myself that my seeing something is a synoptical illusion. I'm wanting to see something perhaps. But there is clearly the silhouette of a person. And every time I expect it to see a ghost, I expect to see a glowing white light. The movie goes. Yeah. Yeah, this embodied floating over the ground. But instead,
what I saw was a silhouette of a person that was blacker than black. As dark as could be, there was no differentiation between the face, the body, nothing. But it was clearly the silhouette of a person. I asked my coworker next to me, I'm like, Adam, are you seeing this? Can you believe your eyes? Is that a person? He's like, I think it is. And the scary thing was, it was between us and the car. We're down this road and it's between us and the car. And probably stood there for a good 60 seconds. Maybe last, it felt like a longer but, and it started walking into the woods. I have never been so scared in my life. I've never moved so fast either. When it's finally, when it's heading back to that car, I can tell you that. Would that be shadow person? Yeah, I think I, you know, if I was going to say ghost or shadow person, I think I'd probably say shadow person, that pretty well qualifies all right. It's very interesting. New Jersey, as he points out,
there's a publication called Weird New Jersey. And New Jersey is not a place that you would think of as particularly a paranormal hotbed. And yet it really is. New Jersey is a place you would think of as well, kind of concrete, oh, concrete it over and, you know, pretty much city upon city upon city, but it's just not so. There are many heavily forested areas of New Jersey. And there's a hell of a lot of weirdness in New Jersey. Strange that may seem if you doubt it. Go subscribe to a publication called Weird New Jersey. I think it's still being printed and it's just full of stuff that you wouldn't believe about New Jersey. West of the Rockies, you're on there. Hi, Art. Hello. I just wanted to call in and, oh, I'm nervous. This is the first time I've ever got through here. I just wanted to talk about some of the stuff that's going on in Texas as far as
air quality in Kim Trills. Okay. Yeah, I read something about Kim Trills earlier in the show. Did you hear that? I heard a part of it, yes. Uh-huh. Did you hear what was in the Kim Trills according to the the newspaper up in Iowa? Something about a boron or something like that. How about this? In addition to whatever the military had in there, there were six bacteria including anthrax and pneumonia, nine chemicals, including settling chloride, 26 heavy metals, including arsenic, gold, lead, mercury, silver, uranium, and RMC, whatever that is, four molds and fungi, seven viruses, two cancers, two vaccines, two sedatives and a peach and a pear tree or whatever. So, you know, really, whatever this is, it's not good. I can tell. I just I heard from it,
heard about it from a friend about two years ago actually and he told me about it and he said, watch for it, man. And, you know, at first, I thought he was crazy. And after a while, I actually started noticing stuff and now I've got a whole bunch of pictures of this taking place in the sky. I mean, I notice it. It's I mean, it's distinct patterns. You see them. There's absolutely no question about it. Here's a deal. I too, back when we began getting calls about the Kim Trills here on the program. And I live out here in the desert where generally humidity is very low. Skies are very clear as a rule. However, we began to get strange days. You would go out in the morning and it would begin as a clear day. You would see these planes criss-crossing the sky. They would leave, whether you want to call them contrails or chemtrails, whatever they're constituted from, they would sort of remain. They wouldn't dissipate as you would normally expect
a contrail to dissipate. Instead, they would kind of spread. And then by, I don't know, one or two o'clock in the afternoon, instead of having a clear and crisp day, you would have a day that's kind of semi-clouded over sort of a, I don't know, almost a haze in the sky. The sunlight would be diminished. The temperature would be down and it would remain that way until, you know, like a front would come through and you'd get a bunch of wind or something like that. But would began as chemtrails or contrails, depending on what you believe, would end in kind of a misty, strange day. Now, that's going on quite a bit here in the desert and I know it's going on around the rest of the country. I'm not sure how prevalent it has been in some of the rest of the country, but it's certainly going on. East of the Rockies, you're on the air. Hello there. Turn your radio off, please. Yes, this is for Art Bell. Yes, this is Art Bell.
Art, I was wondering a long time ago, I saw a black triangle. I was wondering what do you think these things are? I would just like to have your opinion or best guess. Okay, here it comes. I also saw a large black triangle with Ramona. A story I've told we both told over the years. Now, what is it? I don't know. Is it a government project of some sort of lighter than aircraft? Certainly that is one possibility, but that isn't what I would attach to what I saw. It was large. It showed every sign of being metallic. It was deadly silent. So, silent, you could hear crickets a quarter of a mile away. It floated. It did not fly over our location, as I've said many times, an aircraft takes. It has to fly. It has to be going fast enough to provide lift for whatever lifting services are on the aircraft. So, I have no idea what it is.
Unless it's a lighter than aircraft, experimental aircraft of the US Air Force or whoever, then it's something from elsewhere. How's that? International line? You're on the air. Hello? Yes, you are. Turn your radio off. Oh, sorry. Yes, I want to do a... I got a weird phone call the other day. Okay, sir, you didn't turn your radio off. I appreciate the call, but we're moving on. While card line, you're on the air. Hi, Art, it's Mark, Professor Canada. How you doing? Yeah, I called you last week about a blue orb I saw, and I think it's quite finished speaking about telling you what I saw. And I listened to the show later on that night and I heard a coincidence of your guest speaking of the same blue orb. I was just wondering how it's just no coincidence. I know you don't believe in that. Actually, I do. Oh, you do? Quintenances, are there coincidences? Yes, certainly. Oh, okay. I think that's George. I think it's George,
sir, who says there are no coincidences. Well, there are. Yeah, well, it seemed to be that night. There was one. Yes, I recall he is referring to a blue orb just after you had called, sometime after you had called. Right, right. And the thing was, as I think it finished to say, I saw heading towards over Lake Erie, heading towards Michigan. And the funny thing was that I had to be in Michigan two days after that. And I was in a GM facility, anyways. And one of the work was supposed to be meeting with a reporter, but we would also have seen that blue orb early that morning going to work. And his wife had also seen a studio called her out to see it. And the thing was, it didn't move fast across the sky. It was very slow, but we still left that long blue tail of light behind it. It was very, very strange. It was like a baby blue blue right forward. Was it trailing downward toward Earth, or was it making a horizontal
movement, or was it actually gaining an altitude, which way? Directly across the sky, like for a push straight across the sky, and not very fast. Like I said, I was climbing a good hill, and I did see it go behind some trees as I started to lose it. Like I could see it as the light went behind in that, the trees in front of it, you know what I mean? Well, that's weird enough. It certainly qualifies as a pretty decent report. And I'm telling you, after the experiment, we did last week, I had thousands of them. Many of them very much like what you just heard. I'm still kind of digesting, trying to digest what actually occurred last weekend. And and whether I classify it as an absolutely unambiguous success in terms of an experiment, or whether if you send millions of people out to look at the sky, do you inevitably just get reports? I don't know. I'm sort of mulling that over a wild card line. You're on here.
Yeah, this is a Lee. I'm calling from Alabama. Yes, William. Yes. Well, I have a couple stories, actually, I have a ghost story and one that you said last week about, you know, following your instincts. Yes. I look forward to you out of here. The more of the most exciting of the two. Well, I will say it's exciting, but I was going to EMT school last year. And my wife was going to ride with me to school. And she got the feeling she said, I just, she just said, you know, I just got this feeling I got to stay home. I have to stay home. She stayed home. And on my way to school, I got T-bone in the passenger side of my truck. Brother. What was my truck? And if anybody had been riding in the passenger seat, they would have been killed. Okay, well, that's certainly a hard little story. I'm glad it turned out well. Yeah, you want to hear the ghost story, too? I know. I'll pass on that one. And we'll sort of settle
it. Listen, folks, if you've got several stories, we'll settle for one. So pick your best and give us your best shot. While card line, you're on the air. I know. I'm all right, sir. Well, my name is Robert. I was recently discharged from area 51 on a medical medical discharge. There was no cooking. All right. Okay. Well, I can explain this UFO flap. It's pretty simple, like most of these things are. Robert, before you get into it, how long had you worked at area 51? Well, I work on a contractual basis for about 11 years. 11 years. You see, it's not. Can you can you tell us, Robert? What can you tell us what kind of work you did? Sure. I did some service on the heavy equipment over there. Okay. I take it out. You probably left from Las Vegas on a daily basis and we're and went up there. Yeah. Yeah. Las Vegas
airport. I got flown in when I was working because you see, it's not staff 100% of time anymore. Right. All right. Got it. Excuse me. I'm a little nervous. Well, anyway, this, this, this, this you are. Yeah. I guess he's gone. You're gone, right? Yep. He's gone. All right. While card line, you're on the air. Hi. Hi. How's it going? This is Miles. I called last week. Okay. Miles. Yeah. I talked to you about remote viewing and about an experience that I had. I tried to remote view you and it worked out. Oh, yes. I recall. Well, and you know, toying around with the idea of getting into it, but I'm kind of like you when it comes to your view of mass consciousness. I'm not really sure where it comes from. You know, if it's if it's a God-given gift or if it's actually, you know, a Lucifer and I go back and force sometimes
and one of the things that made me think that it could be of Lucifer is that Don Hughes. Did you have you? I'm down here. Yeah. He was trained by. Oh, yes. Ed Danes. Ed Danes. Yes. And a lot of the stuff you're saying was really kind of dark and it just made me kind of cautious and I was wondering what you thought about the whole thing. It's interesting. In the last, I don't know, a month or so, I have seen so many stories that ring of what Ed Danes has warned of. Now, Aaron Donahue is a different case and Ed Danes has his own views of Aaron Donahue. But commenting on Ed Danes with respect to what's going on on the Sun and some of what the scientists have been warning about with regard to our Sun, some of the disease that Ed Danes has warned about this beginning to manifest itself, I, you know, I know it's easy to laugh at
and criticize Ed Danes, but I'm beginning to hear echoes in the news and in science that underscore so much of what Ed Danes has said. And I wonder if any of the rest of you are seeing that. First time caller line, you're on the air. Yeah, good morning, sir. This is Art. Yes, it is. Good morning, Art. I'm calling in regards to your guest this evening. I'm an older senior citizen. I've never revealed any of this to my priest. I'm just curious how authentic do you believe the visitation of an extraterrestrial is? The reason why I'm asking is that I've had, I believe, three visits. Okay. One visit went right after I graduated from college. My parents sent me to
my homeland. It's Leah. My parents, the fifth Leah, went to go visit relatives there. And while I was touring as it was, I believe, I guess they had never revealed this other than to my priest and he kind of blew it away. But anyway, these figures, three of them, were similar to what your guest this evening described as a, as a great object three and a half feet, four feet tall. It appeared to be tangent. However, you know, I'm not sure. I know what I felt. I saw that there was no mouth. There was the red ground eyes. It was the larger than body
cranium and so forth. Anyway, a typical gray, really. A typical gray, you say, yeah? Oh, that's what I said. Yes. Okay. I don't know. Anyway, this. All right, sir. Hold on a moment, please. We're at a break point. I'm Art Bell. We'll be right back. Let's try an experiment. All right. There are so many of you now who are claiming contact or abduction. Let's turn this into a show of contact and abduction. So if everybody else would hang up, just hang up. And I know I'll only get a marginal amount of cooperation with that, but I'm going to give it a try. Why? Because it's so interesting whether, whether it was my one hour guest there, Dick Chriswell, or whether it's tomorrow night's guest, Jim Sparks, or whether it's a fellow I've gone on the line right now, or thousands more like him.
There's absolutely no question about it. A lot of Americans, thousands, maybe tens of thousands and millions are reporting contact with aliens. So let's turn this into that show. If everybody else who has not had contact with aliens would be so kind as to hang your phone up, clear the lines for those who have actually had contact. Let's listen to a few of these stories and see what we get. Just very briefly before we break back to this caller, caller, please continue. You had contact with the grays, you think. Well, yeah, that's true. And my question to you was, the autistic, how authentic do you really feel with this? How authentic do I feel? What is you? Are you a story? No, no, no. These people who call and report these things.
No, well, but yeah, I guess that's part of it. I'm more curious. Yeah, I question my family. Let me ask you a question, caller. How sure are you of what you experienced? Well, the first time I didn't know what, you know, I've never been on drugs. I don't use alcohol. I didn't know what to think. I thought, well, maybe this is just a hallucination of some sort because of the area I was in the catacombs in Italy, touring as I was trying to tell you it. I didn't pay attention. And then after 18 years of marriage, I lost my wife to cancer. And right after we're at the being extremely despondent, so worth that. I had another visit. I pretty much forgotten the first one, except what they told me. So I just talked back a lot of fresh memories and actually it did somewhat ease this
financier and the pain I was going through after losing a person living with an 18-year-old. So I guess in a way, caller, you've got to ask yourself if it was your brain concocting something in a situation that you couldn't deal with. Yeah, I've been asking that so many. I mean, I believe I feel in my heart that, yes, this happened. Of course, like I say, the only other person I've ever told us to is my priest and me, he's tried to blow it off in so many different ways. And because I was, you know, I've brainwashed the Catholicism for many years and had my doubts, and I just, the reason being is that, okay, we're almost losing you here. Okay, I'm sorry. I'm visiting Dallas Texas here. Okay, I'll tell you what, we'll hold the story right there.
And this is interesting. I mean, the fact that so many people, now, tomorrow night, if you haven't had an opportunity to hear Jim Sparks, you really need to hear him. Some are able to articulate their experience better than others. Jim Sparks is one of those guys. But it doesn't take anything away from any of you who have seen or had contact with people or beings that you feel are alien. It doesn't take anything away from them at all. It's a fascinating phenomena. There's no question about it. It's fascinating. So many, it's got to mean something. I've never had contact with an alien. I've never had contact with a ghost, but so many of you have that it has to mean something will be right back. All right, I guess what we're really looking for now tonight are people who have had close encounters of the third kind. That would be the third kind, right? Or is that just very close to a ship? I'm actually looking for people who have had contact. While card line, you're on the air. Hey, how are you? I'm all right, sir.
Josh and Jacksonville. Yes, sir. So listen, I've had two connections with or experiences with what I call one with just what I call the alien voice in my head that I heard. And the other with and the other another second incident heard the voice which said look up and saw the UFO in the daylight incident. So really? I mean, let's just break it down briefly. So, you know, 1997 driving in the car north west of Baltimore towards one of the suburbs right there from downtown where I worked daylight, sunny, sunny sky. And as I'm driving down the road, understand this, this is the day after the night when I posted a website with what became widely known as another anomaly on Mars. Okay. And I'm on the way. So that's I discovered it in a flash posted on the internet in 1997. I was working as a webmaster early webmaster at the time. On my way the next
day, literally, and this is some people who know me know about this story, on my way to close the deal between a major paranormal related magazine, let's say, and the num and a num a bleeding 900 number company to do a UFO 900 UFO info line. If no one has ever done, doesn't happen, why that's the case is a whole other story. Bottom line, imagine those two incidents as I'm driving to work the next day. I'm driving to work the next day. Literally, I'm five minutes away from work and I'm thinking to myself, why did that happen? What does this mean? You know, why have I never seen anything? Literally heard the voice in my head say, look up. So I literally looked up as I'm driving, you know, just literally down to one of the main roads there, not a highway, but look up and there it is. Silver disc, suspended right in the sky, estimated size, literally the classic shape of say
between a diamond, a corner held at arm's length. Sun reflecting off the top left hand corner of it, clearly it was metallic. I take my glasses off to my head and out of the car door. It's literally very high trees right there. So to look it's clear, I'm like, maybe it's just nothing. It's literally there, not a blimp, not an airship, not a helicopter, not a plane. I've been around them on my life, like, oh, you have, we know when we see them, we don't, I feel like. Make a long story short as I'm driving. I've got to get somebody to look at it. I try to get people to look. I don't have a camera with me. Guide to my right at the next stop light. Can you see it? You kind of see, oh, it's got to go. I start driving again. Maybe I'll get to this major sort of where the kids hang out, you know, when they cut class, the cemetery right there, you know, beautiful lake, you know, I'll get there. Well, as I'm driving, I look up and it goes from in that spot to moving and literally with that fat step like pattern over maybe five body lengths. If you can imagine the classic, it would smash the head of any human inside their situation. Right. Literally, then I'm like, what is I'm staring at it? The hair stands up in the back of my neck. I look
forward about the smash from the back of the vehicle in front of me. I slam on my brake, stop just short of it, look back up and the silver disc. Again, a fix right there is in the same spot, but now I'm experiencing seeing it literally for about three seconds of what I call the face out. Not the blacked away at high speed, but literally looked like it was twinkling straight out of if you saw a Star Trek episode and overlaid in reality. I'm like, what? What? What? Look ahead again because I have to slam my brakes again from, you know, having almost hit that car, look up again and it's gone. Again, heard the voice, looked up, silver metallic stuck in place, step like pattern phases out. I mean, for a guy whose research is stuff as long as I have, it was unbelievable. That was the only incident I ever had. I then dropped that why I then dropped that deal. Nobody ever did it straight to this day. I challenged it. Nobody's ever done it. I challenged anyone to do such a thing. Well, I think people, thank you, would be very suspicious of a 900 line. That's a way
to make money, of course. And so I think people would be naturally suspicious of that. In terms of your sighting, though, is a good one. I had a similar one just walking up my driveway one day again with Ramona. And as we walked up the driveway, there it was a silver disc in a contrail or a very near a contrail of a jet that was probably on its way to San Francisco. And this thing finally shot to the south in the classic takeoff kind of way. And so those are the two I've had, you know, the triangle and then that silver disc. A wild card line. You're on the air. Hello. Yes, so art. This is a fret up off. I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm going to take that out. I just erased that. So your first name only, please. Thank you. I wanted to go ahead and talk about more abduction sequences that I went through. You have been abducted four times. Four times. Yes.
All right. Bye. Remember. Bye. What? Okay. The first time I woke up in the morning. And on my, and I already talked a little more about this. Oh, you did. She says she's had other triangles burnt into, you know, other individual skins. Well, below my, my right thumb, the last joint towards the wrist has equal lateral triangle burnt. It was like a flash burn. Okay. Do you remember how it occurred? No, I do not. But you remember that you were abducted? Well, I remember seeing all these people around me. Grace or sounds like an abduction to me. Second, sounds like an abduction to me. Well, I'll tell you what, here's what happened. I had this thing burnt into my, I still got the
scar on my, my hand. And it was an equal level of triangle. 15 millimeters on all sizes. And on all sizes. And 10 millimeters below the triangle, there was a scar where it removed, what can I say, skin tissue. Maybe for some DNA test, whatever. And what did Linda Moulton house say about it? Just that she was familiar with other similar cases? Yeah, she had a guy in South America that had one on his leg. But the thing, but the, the weird thing about mine was, is three days after I had the same done on my right hand, it appeared on my left hand. That is weird.
All right, well, I very much appreciate the story. That's a kind of physical evidence, I guess. And that is what I'm after here. I'm after people who have had actual encounters. And if you could be here and look, you would see the lines are clearly all lit up. So we're talking about thousands, perhaps millions of Americans who believe they've had something happen to them, believe they've encountered people from elsewhere. Now, that's a non-trivial story. It's a non-trivial fact. It's a, you can take certainly some of them and you can discount them. What you should not do is discount people who are not particularly articulate about it. Don't discount them. I'll sort of lump them in with the rest. People tend to do that because somebody is not particularly articulate and doesn't to speak the King's English. They automatically discount the story where the exact opposite is also true. If somebody is very well spoken and unwinds their story in a fascinating, interesting way,
then you tend to believe them. So don't discard stories because a person is not necessarily very articulate. The fact that we're getting so many of them, the fact that you can say, look, we want to talk to people who have had alien encounters and you get a full stack of lines just waiting for you. While card line, you're on the air. I was standing in my backyard about a year and a half ago, putting up my telescope to look at the moon. Yes, sir. As I was doing so, I saw a multi-colored, the first thing that came to my mind was that it was the shuttle or some satellite going by. It was going by very slowly and it was multi-colored. It was, there were rainbow colors, meaning red, blue, green, sparkling. It was slowly going over Lake Michigan, of which I live approximately three blocks from, I live in Racine, Wisconsin,
three blocks from the lake. A lot of sightings in that area. Yes. And what was very interesting that there was this sudden feeling that I should take consciousness of this. Forget about the telescope and I followed it with my eyes. I got this intense feeling to hop in my car, drive the three blocks to the lake. Where I live, there's a bluff. You know what I mean? There's a drop off, a bluff there that goes down to the lake bed down below. Right. Now, I had an intense psychic, for lack of better words, I'm not an educated man, I'm a union truck driver kind of guy. That's fine. I felt that I should follow this thing and there was something telling me to follow
this thing and jump in my car and go and it didn't follow this and when I got to this bluff, it was still there. I would say mile off of the coastline. Well, you know how everybody says that they see these lights in the sky and they zigzag and they go up and zap out of your vision and all that kind of thing. This thing went down into the water. I saw a huge, what I would call, 300 yard, 400 yard radius, glow underneath the water and I felt that there was, you know, I was just intensely drawn to this thing. Now, all I can tell you is that I know what
you're asking on the airwaves right now, the abduction if you were abducted. Or a medical creature. Pardon me? Or a medical creature. Well, what I'm trying to say is that I went there in a complete conscious state, followed this thing, watched it go down into the water. No, it's a worthy story. And when it hit the water, it went under the water and there was a large glow and I've I watched it and kind of lost consciousness. Now, this was not, again, I heard one of your earlier callers say that they don't do drugs and all this kind of stuff. I wasn't under the influence of anything at the time at all. I watched this in intense curiosity and I've been listening to your show for quite some time since before the new guys kind of took it over.
Which I do have a question if you would allow me to at the end. And I will tell you that approximately three to three and a half, maybe four hours later, I found myself in a haze driving back home, which is only a straight shot. There's a main boulevard, the Coven Avenue that goes right down to where I'm talking about. There's a little floor. You were missing all that time three or four hours. I missed three hours and I approximately three hours plus. And I got back home and I felt like I was in a haze when I got back home. I made it safely. Everything was fine. I pulled into the driveway. At the time, my fiance had gotten back from work. I explained it all to her of which were both believers in. No, shall we say other entities in the universe.
And I explained it all to her, but there was about a three and a half hour period of time that I lost. Got it. And I sat there and explained it to her. And I might add that I sat there on the bluff and in kind of a haze and watch this thing hit the water. There was an intense glow underneath the water. And I have to finish by saying this thing shot out in a way underneath the water with an intense glow towards Michigan because I live on the west side of the lake. All right. Listen, I'm going to have to hold it. I'm going to have to hold it right there. We're out of time. We're coming up at a break point. But this is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about. Thousands of Americans have experienced something like this mandate. That was particularly interesting. Water stories are particularly interesting. We'll be right back. From the high desert, actually, and what we're trying to do now is put together an hour of people
who have actually had contact with other beings. I sincerely mean that now. If the rest of you would kindly extinguish your phones, hit back, listen and enjoy the program. I really would like to talk to those of you who have had actual contact been abducted or had contact with beings from elsewhere. And that could mean, I suppose, another dimension. It could mean from actual craft. There's no way to really pin all of this down except to say that thousands, perhaps millions of Americans have had some kind of experience. And as I explained earlier, some can articulately present it some not quite as well. But the fact that so many have had this experience means something. It either means they are here. They really are here. Or there are some great mass psychological something going on out there. And that's what I'm trying to get to the bottom of. We'll be right back. Dale in Missoula, Montana is fast blasting me. The following. Hello,
this was just on Fox News. They reported strange lights in the skies over Chicago and over the southeast. They called it UFOs. Dale. Now, if anybody else saw that report and can confirm for me, I would certainly appreciate it. First time caller line. You're on the air. Oh, hello. Hi. Oh, who am I talking to? I'm Art Bell. Oh, let me turn my radio off here. Yes, please. Okay. Yes. Let me tell you about my story here. I'm calling from Baker's Field, California. And when I was a little girl, I used to have these dreams. And I had quite a few of them. And they were always exactly the same. And I used to call them the Oyoy Oy dreams because they were these little creatures that would come towards me. And while they came towards me, they start out real small, real far away and real slow in their voice. And they'd be going Oyoy Oyoy Oyoy Oyoy Oyoy.
And they'd be getting bigger and bigger and bigger. And then I'd wake up screaming before they would get to me. Do you have any reason to believe they were anything other than a dream? Well, I always thought they were aliens coming to me and through my dreams. And as I've grown up, I've had other experiences and not being asleep. Things would really happen to me. Like what? Okay. Well, one time I had this little guy who was outside my window. And he was colorful. He was twinkly. He was smiling. I call it a he. I really don't know what it was, but it was some kind of creature. It would not let me get out of my bed. I wanted to get up so I could go get my daughter and show her, but it would not let me do it. For hours, it kept me there just watching it. And it would smile, make all these funny little faces that made me smile and feel really good.
Meaning you were, meaning you were paralyzed. Yeah, it was paralyzed in my bed just watching it outside the window. It seemed to be outside my bedroom window for hours and hours until the early early morning. Well, I'm not sure what you would call that, but some kind of creature from somewhere. West of the Rockies, you're on here. Hello. I turn you radio off, please. It's all okay, far away. Is this art? It is. Oh, hi, Art. Hi. I'm going referring to your get to refer to your guest, bringing up the book of Ezekiel in the Bible. Yes. Now that book was written. The Ezekiel story was written long before Christ was ever born. So if there are people that have doubts about spacecraft, pick up your Bible folks, turn to the book of Ezekiel, and you'll read all about the first spinning wheels that ever came to earth after the earth was populated with people, plants,
and animals. Okay. Well, there's no question about that. I think most, you followed just most people who have investigated UFOs have been pointed toward the Bible before, but that was not an actual encounter story, and that's what we're after tonight. East of the Rockies, you're on the air. Hi. I have a story. Okay. Basically, I was in my bed. I woke up and there was a dog over me, and he wasn't my dog. So I wake up my sister. I tell her, wake up. There's a dog. She's like, what dog? I don't see a dog. He ran out the door. Two days later, the same dog comes back. I followed this dog down the hallway, and by the time I reached the end of the hallway, it's daylight. So in other words, a number of hours went away. Yeah. It was completely dark. When I left my room, I followed this dog down the hallway, and it was completely light when I reached the living room.
Wow. See, I don't know what to do with this story like that. That's really weird. Do you have any other recollections at all of what went under in that time? No. I was like, why am I in the living room? What happened? Where did the dog go? Why is it daylight? That's weird. You sound young. How old are you? I'm 21. 21. And how long does this happen? Oh, I was probably about 14. 14. Okay, I appreciate the story. Again, I don't know what to do with it. These stories come in so many different forms. I mean, from a dog to a creature, a sparkly creature, to the traditional graze to you name it. International line, you're on the air. Hello. Yeah, I'm 800. It probably is, yes. Yeah, I got a story about the graze. I wanted to tell her so. Okay. Well, you're speaking to me, so go ahead. Wow. I'm a security guard in Detroit, and I'll tell you I see some weird stuff all
the time late night here. But my story is actually based when I was in San Antonio, Texas, and I was living in a trailer, and I woke up in the middle of the night one night and saw this creature. I wouldn't even call it gray, but it was definitely the description a lot of people want to give, and that day my, it's some dental work done, and I was pretty heavily drug-induced, but I thought of, but I got up to attack this thing, and it struck me over the head with a can of Campbell soup that was on the counter, and I woke up the next day on the floor bump on the back of my head, can of soup gone, and the person I was living with couldn't really explain the whole thing altogether. I don't know what to say, another weird one. That. Yeah, I appreciate the call,
and I'm getting reports now, yes. It's true. Fox News did broadcast news of the event which transpired again over Chicago, O'Hare Airport now. This surely cannot be the previous incident. If they're reporting, if they're reporting this again tonight, apparently, there's something else going on over O'Hare. Let's see, confirming the Fox report art. This is DJ. It aired just before 8 p.m. Eastern. It was a story of the recent sightings overall. Okay, maybe it was. The reporter covered both sides, ended with the special effects of pretending that he was getting beamed up. Well, of course, wild card line. You're on the air. Uh, this art. It is, yes. Hey, how you doing? I'm all right, sir. How about yourself? Doing great. I don't want to talk to you about the ambiguity of the source of signals that you're giving in communication with exercise
drills. I can barely hear you, sir. You're going to have to yell at me a little bit. I just want to talk to you about the ambiguity of the signals that you're giving when you're communicating with exercise drills. I don't communicate with exercise drills. So, well, um, during these circumstances, um, when you're giving, um, you know, messages or whatnot, I'm not given, sir, I'm not given messages. I've never communicated with the need to really? Really? I'm amazed. Um, okay. Um, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I have never had one of these encounters. I've had some strange things occur to me in my life, but I have never, uh, communicated with anything that I consider to be from anywhere else or whatever that's worth. While card line, you're on the air. Hello. Would have been, uh, while card line, you're on the air. Good morning.
Yes. How you doing, Eric? Okay. My name is Jeff. I'm from uh, upstate New York. I just got a weird story to tell you. It's just, it's kind of like it's a ghost story, I guess. Um, I do security work in an office building downtown. Um, I open up the building for a bunch of employees that work there and I get the place ready. I'm there about 45 minutes to a half hour before the place is, uh, actually opened. Okay. So I'm in there. I get my logs together. I do my reports. I basically lock myself in for about a half an hour. So it's just me in this big building. I kid you now. I don't know what, I don't know what's going on, but it's like someone's like right behind me at the lobby desk. I know the feeling. You can almost feel someone like breathing on me. Right. You know what I mean? I can feel it. Someone is right there. Right. And I hear weird noises down in this lobby area. Well, morning, a couple hours goes by. I speak with this one woman
that's been there for years. I told her what's been going on. She says to me that, uh, well, it could be the guy that died three floors up. This building is about 10 floors up. And she said, yes, three about a year ago, um, this guy had a heart attack. Just died right on the spot. And he died right in his office building right up on the third floor. He goes, it could, you know, it could be him and she was laughing, you know, and it's just weird because since I started working here every morning, it's like somebody's there with me. Well, I mean, where I got to turn my head when I'm doing my log work and I'm doing my reports, I actually have to turn my head and just keep looking like every two seconds and back of me because I know someone is in back near watching me. Well, I don't know. I don't know if I'd stay in, uh, such a job. And I'm not sure that the kind of story you're hearing right now and then supposed alien contact stories. I'm not sure
how different they really are. I guess that's part of what I'm probing here. All of these stories seem to sort of mix together. And that's why euphology and paranormal, paranormal world, I think may be connected. I wrote a book once called The Source that attempted, really attempted to, uh, kind of put the, uh, put all of this together. And I'm still not so sure that it doesn't all belong together. First time color line you're on there. Yes. Hello. This is Hawk. Yes, Hawk. I am calling about, uh, a entity or entities that I encountered and that have been continuing to uh, follow me and members of my family throughout my life. Okay. Um, I wondered if you had any
knowledge of the history of the Ouija board. Sure. Um, do you know where it actually came from? No, the history of it, the beginning history of it. It's very old. Uh, Ouija board to bit around for a lot longer than I have. So no, I don't know the actual beginning of the Ouija board. Well, uh, I, my grandmother brought one from the hills of Kentucky that was given to her by someone who called herself to which and it was old at that time. And this was nothing like the ones they have now. This was handmade and it was called a Rajan spirit calling board, R-A-J-A-N. And, uh, it was, not a game like the Ouija board. They sell in a game box. This is a wooden, a wooden box with symbols on it. And when you opened it, everything was wrapped in black silk. And, uh, there was, uh,
rattles. Um, there was, uh, a actual pyramid that you set on, on the board. It was made out of a dark colored wood and it had an actual crystal mounted in, in, uh, an eye position hole on one side of the pyramid. And it was supplied with candles and an old hourglass and these ancient looking rattles. Did you give it a try? Yes, me and some of my cousins gave it a try. Yeah. Um, and, and apparition appeared in the room. And we asked it what its name was. And, um, it told us its name and, uh, it turned out later that what name it told us was Lucifer spelled backwards.
And, uh, we, um, were so scared. We did what it said to do. It said to block the candles and shake the shaman rattle and that it would scare the spirit away. And then he would look into the crystal and, and when it was entrapped in the crystal, you couldn't see through the crystal. It was foggy. When it was gone, you could see through it. After we did that, it was gone. That's really weird. We continued to have, um, problems after that. Um, I mean, I can't tell you I couldn't begin to tell you. I mean, not long after that, my, um, very gentle grandfather just became what I can only say was possessed and shot and killed my grandmother. Oh my god. And, well, I, you know, nothing you're saying about this is a surprise. I had a very, very bad one time experience with a
Ouija board that I don't talk about. And, um, I think they open doors to areas that you don't want to go. Well, this one at the bottom, I went back because they, they, my, my family still doesn't believe that that's what caused our, all of our family's trouble, even though half of our family's dead now. And I looked where it said it was manufactured. And this is just a couple of years ago, and I wrote it down. And then all the slept of it, all the rattles and all the other things are gone. But the, the board is still there. And it says, where was it made? It says, uh, that it was made in the far east, distributed by Cooper toys, six, six, six, like sure. Okay. Um, Chicago, Illinois. Okay. Well, all right. I got a little more than I bargained for there, folks. What I've done is, uh, I took that out. He gave me a specific name of a company and, and address.
So I took that out. Um, I will say this though. I had, um, a truly terrifying experience with the Ouija board. I highly recommend that all of you stay as far away from them as you can. They're, they're nothing by themselves. Uh, it comes back to everything that we've been talking about with regard to intent, consciousness, but most specifically intent. If you try to call up, uh, negative spirits, or you, you, you, you, you use something. It's just a tool. That's all it is. But if you use that tool and project your intent, trying to call something evil, you're very likely going to get it. So be wary. What's to the Rockies? You're on the air. Hi, Aaron. Hello there. How are you? Yes, turn your radio off. That's number one. Okay. It's all, I can't tell me anything about just seeing a pair of eyes all the time. Seeing a pair of eyes? Yes.
No, not the eyes all the time. You see them where? In front of me or on the side of me. You see eyes in front of you or to the side of you. Right. Just regular eyes, brown eyes, blue eyes. Oh, no, I, I wouldn't know what to say about that. The eyes have it, I guess. I, I don't know. Eyes, big eyes, small eyes, brown eyes, blue eyes, little eyes, big eyes. She sees eyes everywhere. From the high desert in the middle of the night, the strangeness of the night. This is coast to coast AM. Boy, maybe we really did set it loose. Look at this breaking news from the national ledger. You can read it on the national ledger.com. From the Carolinas to Arkansas,
out of the deserts of Arizona, unexplained lights have filled the night skies of late. That means local news stations and the 9-11 switchboards get calls as people try to explain what a time seems like the inexplicable. Since the UFO appeared over Chicago's O'Hare Airport in November, it appears that people are more concentrated on the skies. This time a report comes from Maine. According to the morning, sent no callers from four southern summers at county towns reported seeing strange lights in the sky Wednesday night. According to the paper, a caller from Shohegan Road in Fairfield reported seeing strange lights in the skies. It just goes on and on and on. It's something's definitely underway, folks. And whether Chicago, O'Hare kicked it off or the experiment last night, one way or the other, something's underway. We'll be right back. Right back to it, we go west of the Rockies. You're on there. Hello. Hello. Hi, Eric. Hi.
Miss Carolyn from Vancouver, BC. Yes, Carolyn. Are you still talking about alien abductions and seeing things? Yes, we are. So I have this I have this little story. I'm not sure if it is an alien thing or not, but when I was a little girl, you always see things in my closet and I always freak out, right? But when I've noticed over the years, I've always been when I'm sleeping, like if I was sleeping on my tummy, I would always feel like someone's pricking me in the back. And then when I was just like two weeks ago, the same thing started happening again to me. And this time it felt like someone was like, like I woke up because I couldn't breathe. And something was like pressing against my back and it totally freaked me out. And my cats were like freaking out at my door, mowing, trying to get in. So that's basically my little thing. Okay, well they know, cats know. And again,
I'm not at all sure that these things are not all connected. That is to say that UFOs paranormal activity in general, that it's not all in some way connected. It may all be from the same source. And when you take call after call after call, I'm not really sure that it's easy to delineate between the people who describe alien contact or at least some of them. And people who describe sleep paralysis combined with seeing something out their window on the rest of it. But I'm kind of working on that in my mind and I hope many of the rest of you are as well. Well card line, you're on the air. Hi. Hi. I'm just have a story. Yeah, far away, turn your radio off though. Okay. Hi, my name's Annie and I'm from California. Hi, Annie. Who is, are you art? Yes. Hi. I have a story about in around 1982. I was reading a book called
Star People, the Francine Bradstiger. And it was so I was thinking about UFOs and so on at that time. And I sat down to meditate one evening and I heard a high pitch tone that wasn't like inner sounds that you sometimes hear in meditation or it wasn't like an outer sound, but it was something kind of in between that. And so I had no hesitation whatsoever. I just knew I was supposed to go with the sound and I went with it. And I found myself inside a ship, which was a saucer type ship. And it felt like to me it was hovering over the, I couldn't really see outside, but it felt like it was hovering over the vineyard, which was next door to me. And it was, and what I saw inside
was this art white light panel, which went from the bottom of the, what seemed like the bottom, from the whole link from the, from the floor to the ceiling of the ship. And it had rays coming out of the white light, which were different colors of the rainbow, soft colors. And I felt like if they were about the size of my hand. And I, I felt like if I knew what the colors did, I could just put my hand over these colors. And the ship would move in some way. But I didn't know what the colors did. And I didn't want to do anything that I didn't know anything about. You know what? I hear that. Did you see any beings or any, any sign of life of any kind? No, I didn't. But what happened later was that I had an occasion to call Marcel Vogel at that time. I had to ask him some questions. Yes. I was writing a film script story. And I called him and I asked him the
questions that I needed to about my story. Marcel Vogel was a solid state physicist that worked with IBM. And then he went into a crystal work after he retired from IBM. And so when I was talking to him on the phone, I asked him, I told him, I said, oh, I wanted to tell you about an experience I had. And I told him about this, this experience I had inside the ship. Well, one part I left out was unintentionally was that I only had enough time in the ship to realize that this was a real experience. And then I was like, back in my body suddenly, it just shocked me so much. It was like, and then I was back in my body. So in physical earth time, it was just that instantaneous thing. But in whatever other time that is that you go into,
I had a feeling that it was a different time. And that for me to know all of those things that I found out inside the ship were a different time longer than a sigh, you might say. On balance, you feel this wasn't a valid real experience. Well, it was definitely, I believe it was an out-of-body experience. And I don't, I think that's as real as physical body. But I guess there's different thoughts on that, different schools of thought. But when I told Marcel Vogel about this experience, I said, do you know, have you ever heard of anyone that's had that kind of an experience? He said, oh, yes, he said, that's the mothership. He said thousands of people see it, thousands of people. And I was just amazed to hear a scientist speak that way.
Well, I'm not. And I appreciate your story. I think that again, it points to a kind of a confusion between what most of us call the paranormal and what a lot of us call euphology. I really see a great mixture here. I see a, I don't even know how we delineate between the two, between some sort of paranormal experience, something that may be coming from another adjacent dimension, and something that's real and physical and from another planet. I'm not sure we're capable of knowing the difference. While card line, you're on the air. Oh, yes, only macro. You're on the air. Thanks for the night by radio. Thank you for the paranormal experience. Down, down, down, not up. It's terminated. There you go. Well, anyway, you know what, that experiment we did. Yes. That was a bad idea. You know what? I didn't really think
anything about it, but I went outside like you said, like everybody else did. And I stood out there, nothing happened. So I came back in to listen to radio to see if anybody else got anything, right? I come back in, I sit down, and I remember I need to get some out of that car. We went to a commercial break. So I went to my car. I saw over the freeway, a helicopter, I guess, what I thought was a helicopter. So I see it's eventually cutting toward me. So I said, okay, I'll rule this out, you know, just, you know, you can't leave you see something flying in the air. This thing heads toward me. It keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger. It's a big white light. And I'm telling myself, no, what's that? No, what's that? You know, I'm a complete skeptic. Even I've seen something, and I'm completely going, no, this can't be. And this thing is about two blocks from me. It's huge white. They put you to this way. This thing looked organic. It didn't look like anything like you hear of a craft. It was glowing white. And it had like underneath it, legs, it's ridiculous.
It looked like tentacles like a jellyfish. And it was glowing. And it just reticates. I go, no, I keep, it was like the size of a, we caught a softball at arm's length. I got scared. I just said, no, wait, you know what? It's, you know what I think? We're crying. We'll hear it. That that was a bad idea, Art, because you know, I feel real bad. I got scared. I went inside. I said, what are we doing? You know, we're making these things coming. They're probably there in case some sort of natural does ask for something. We need help from these individuals. But I looked on the internet, because this ridiculous UFO like a jellyfish, I typed in UFO and jellyfish, and guess what? They exist. Oh, I know. I know. It, listen, it's like we set something loose. It's going crazy out there. So, I, you know, I don't know if it was a good idea or a bad idea. I don't, uh, based on what we've seen so far, it's not a bad idea in the sense that I haven't heard of any negative encounters as a result of it. I've just heard of lots of things in our sky suddenly
being seen, lots and lots of things suddenly being seen. Now, it could be the result of just asking people to look in the sky. I cannot dismiss that. Or it could be that we really generated something that's still ongoing. Uh, first time color line, you're on the air. Our bell. This is Chris from Murphy's Broad, Tennessee. Hi, Chris. Hi. I don't want to talk to you about an experience I had contact with aliens when I was younger. I've just recollected this memory. Um, I think it was as a result of a near death experience that, um, when we were kids, I guess I was like 12 or 13. We were making ourselves pass that pass out. Um, I remember doing that when I was a kid. I guess like you're holding, you know, you hold your breath and then somebody came up behind you and grabbed you. I did, I did that and, and when that happened, I guess I went to some other dimension, but when I woke up or when I was another dimension, I was on my back and it felt like I was maybe on like a lunar landscape on the
moon and how surrounded by it like aliens, great aliens. You see, uh, that what you have just said is absolutely classic. How do you differentiate the paranormal as produced by, I wonder how many of you remember that when you were kids, huh? You'll hold your breath. Somebody grabs you. I won't describe how it's done because it's not safe and, uh, generally, you pass out and then he has an experience that approximates aliens. All right. How do we separate the paranormal from the aliens, from craft, from things that people see? It surely seems to all mix together to me. On the international line, you're on the air. Hello, is this art? It is. It is. Hey, I've been watching. I can give a stolen thunder, but Fox network has been showing that the cable side has been showing some footage of the UFOs you're talking about. So I just wanted to inform people that, you know, they've got some
axle footage out here on on the TV. I know I'm hearing about it all over now. Okay. Well, I know we're short on time, but you know, it's great talk to you. Okay. Good to talk to you, sir. Thank you, and I don't know what we've set loose, but again, I guess it's a success from the point of view that what we're getting are sightings of things in the sky. We're not getting abduction, uh, reports, other than the ones that come from some time ago. But we are getting massive numbers of sightings in the sky. And well, that's kind of what we asked for. East of the Rockies, you're on the air. Yes. Hi. Hi. I'm so happy to get through. I knew I was going to get through. I was laying in bed, sleeping and my grandson got up to go to the bathroom and my husband turned on the radio and I just got up and caught you. Okay. Okay. This is a story about my grandson when he was two years old.
He, um, he was sleeping with his brother and every night one of them would get out of bed and go sleep with the mother. Well, um, the older brother woke up and he couldn't find his brother and he, oh, I'm sorry, I'm nervous. He went in to talk to a mom and find out what brother was. And the mother said, no, he's not here. Go back and look for him so he went back and he couldn't find his brother so he, excuse me, came back again and couldn't find his brother and he went back again and he just decided to sleep on the couch. And the next morning my daughter said, I told your brother was in bed and the two-year-old said, um, no, me not, me on spaceship. So when he came the next day, I said, um, what happened last night? And he said, I went on a spaceship and he's like going zoom, zoom. And I said, what, what did, um, what happened? And he said, they took me to see
another, uh, Kenny. The look, I'm sorry, another, another one. Well, he said his name. They took me to see another Kenny. Oh, it looks just like me. Oh, yeah. And my stomach just dropped. And so I asked him, I said, were they good to you? And he said, yeah. And I said, what did they look like? And he said, you know, grandma, they guys, and um, I estimate they talked to him. And he said, he said they didn't have mouths, but they talked to him. This was a two-year-old. Two-year-old. Now, I wrote Whitley about this and he, he got back to me like the same day. Beautiful letter. And um, we, I talked to him a little bit about it, but I didn't do well on it. And we didn't talk much about it after that. But the synchronicity is that
when I was writing Whitley or emailing him, my, um, older grandson that found him missing was talking to his mother about it. When I got the response back from Whitley, I said, I called my daughter and told her that I had emailed Whitley and gave her the response. And she said, mom, just yesterday, the older grandson asked her if she remembered the incident. And um, and then I think probably three years, four years after it happened, we were standing outside a restaurant. And out of the clear blue sky, we were just standing there waiting for my daughter to come out now. The clear blue sky, he said, grandma, what I don't know is how did they give me out of my bed the night they took me. And I, I just about fell of our company. If you was asking that, it was, you know, it's pretty sad in a way because I love them so much to think that, you know, maybe something is happening. And then the next incident was, I think that was it,
Mars. It was close to Earth or Venus. It was Mars. Oh, it was Mars. Okay. We were outside looking for it with the telescope. And I couldn't see it. We didn't have a very good telescope. And I came and I said, come on, let's go look it up on the internet. And I brought it up on the internet. And as soon as he saw it, he got real excited. And he says, grandma, grandma, that's where they took me that night. And I said, I just talked to him and I said, what do you mean? He said, I saw that. And what he implied without really saying the words that that's where the mother's ship sits right near that. Now, he might have been talking about Venus. But it was Mars that I had on the internet. And he was so excited. He said, that's where they took me that night. And he said, he got off one vehicle into another. And it was real big. And he, he implies different breeds like insect type and reptilian type. But that's an awful lot for a two-year-old to remember.
Right. Right. Really is. That's an amazing story, though. But what really got me the most was when he said they took him and showed him another Kenny that looks just like him. Yeah, exactly. I just, oh, I can't believe it because, you know, I hear these shows about hybrid. And I thought, oh my gosh, you know, is it true? Is there any history in your family that would point to what he said? In other words, was anybody else have done? You know what? We're running out of time. But is there any family history? Yes. If they are, I don't know about it. But I got to tell you one more thing real quick. He is like, he can take a camera and take photographs of orbs. Okay. On that note, I've got to go, ma'am. Thank you very much. I'm sorry. We're flat out of time. Thank you all for the stories. And if this doesn't get you thinking along with what's going in our skies right now, I don't know what will. At any rate, we'll be back tomorrow evening. Jim Sparks will be back. He's really quite something that'll be a program you don't want to miss from the
high desert. I'm Art Bell. Night all.
