Sorry, this morning I didn't have transcripts. Now thanks to Wes and others here's the meat: GE-1 HIT WITH APPARENT E.M.P. DURING "AREA-51" CONFESSION Art Bell hosts "Coast-to-Coast AM," a nightly talk show from Pahrump, Nevada, a small town near "Area 51" (an airbase which the U.S. government officially denies the existence of, despite the massive size of the complex. UFO's are frequently seen near this site.) Art's radio program is relayed from the studio in Pahrump to the network headquarters by satellite GE-1. At about 1AM EST, Friday, September 12, 1997, he designated one phone line for Area 51 employees to call in and "spill the beans." Several interesting and convincing callers took the bait. Then came one bizarre call from an obviously distraught and terrified man who claimed to be a former Area 51 employee recently discharged for "medical" reasons. He cited malevolent extraterrestrials at Area 51 and an impending disaster that the government knew would take out "major population centers." Midway through this call (according to GE engineers) the satellite's "Earth sensor lost lock" and the craft rolled into an attitude where it no longer pointed at the uplinks, causing 50 channels to go off-air for about 30 minutes. Shortly after the outage began, the live internet video feed from Art's studio was lost as well. Unaware of these events, Bell continued talking to the caller for another minute during the outage until he heard a scream and the phone went dead. A reporter from Penthouse visiting the studio to gather information for a story about the program witnessed the event and furiously took notes. Minutes later, Bell received a call from his network on a conventional analog "hotline" saying that he was "off the air." He checked the uplink transmitter and saw that it had suffered complete loss of communication with GE-1. At this point they resumed transmission on a 56k digital phone line and went back on the air. Then the analog "hotline" to the network cut out and Art was unable to speak to network engineers. One of the first callers after the outage was someone who claimed to be from Area-51 "security." He said that his job was to "close gaps," the network had been "pulsed" and that we "would not hear from the caller again." (An ElectroMagnetic Pulse is a method of overloading electronic equipment in a target area; EMP generators were funded under the original SDI research. The phenomenon was discovered by accident during the 1960's when the phone network in Hawaii was disabled by a nuclear test 800 miles distant.) Speculation about an EMP continued as this was "verified" by several callers: A man from Kingston (also near area 51) said he was on hold waiting to go on the air, and both his home telephone lines went dead. Another caller, an RF engineer employed at Hughes AeroSpace in Tucson (and an expert on EMP shielding), stated that he had suffered "cloud bounce" from the pulse and his personal computer and digital watch were wiped clean. A third caller reminded the audience that author Nick Begich stated in his book "Angels don't Play this HAARP" that a military antenna array in Alaska has the capability to remove individual satellites from service and generate such pulses. (Incidentally, the HAARP design bears a great similarity to the work of Nikola Tesla, who publicly made claims about the potential of his inventions to generate EMP anywhere on the planet.) Finally, another caller reminded the audience of an event several months prior where it was confirmed that a number of employees at the Cheyenne Mountain nuclear-hardened underground base convinced as many friends and family as they could to move immediately to a remote location in South America. Art closed the show by speculating on whether (in the mind of the government) the "enemy" of National Security had now become the American people.

Friday Sept. 12, 1997 (2:35:42 RealAudio elapsed time, http://ww2.audionet.com/artbell/archive.html#sept97): Art: On my Area 51 line, you're on the air, hello. Male caller: Hello, Art? Art: Yes Caller [sounds frightened]: I don't have a whole lot of time. Art: Well, look, let's begin by finding out if you're using this line properly or not. Caller: OK, in Area 51? Art: Yes. Are you an employee or are you now? Caller: I'm a former employee. I, I was let go on a medical discharge about a week ago and, and... [chokes] I kind of been running across the country. Damn, I don't know where to start, they're, they're gonna, they'll triangulate on this position really soon. Art: So you can't spend a lot of time on the phone, so give us something quick. Caller [voice breaking up with apparent suppressed crying]: OK, um, um, OK, what we're thinking of as aliens, Art, they're extradimensional beings, that, an earlier precursor of the space program they made contact with. They are not what they claim to be. They've infiltrated a lot of aspects of, of, of the military establishment, particularly the Area 51. The disasters that are coming, they, the military, I'm sorry, the government knows about them. And there's a lot of safe areas in this world that they could begin moving the population to now, Art. Art: So they're not doing, not doing anything. Caller: They are not. They want those major population centers wiped out so that the few that are left will be more easily controllable...." Art [fragment]: ...discharged... Caller [sobbing, then fragment]: I say we g .... [Dead air for 25 seconds, followed by theme song and repeat of Mark Fuhrman interview talking about marijuana busts] [2:29:43 elapsed time] Art: We are now on a backup system....The entire transmitting system went down... Art's radio network engineer later reported that the network's communication satellite lost 50 channels (including Art's feed) at that moment, possibly due to a "lost earth sensor" (so it no longer pointed to the earth station). Art reported that the telephone conversation continued off the air for about a minute, when the caller "screamed" and "screeched" and the telephone connection went dead. Art also reported that his Web site registered 5 million hits just after the outage. Later, a Tucson caller who he said worked for Hughes (which Art said supplies microwave systems to Area 51) reported that his computer memory and electronic watch were zapped at the same time that the broadcast went dead, and suggested both events may have been caused by a cloud-reflected EMP (electromagnetic pulse, which are created by nuclear explosions or by special EMP generator). A caller claiming he was with Area 51 security said: "[We're] Professional cleaners, you know they dig a lot of holes in the desert...I use a lot of acid....We worked with satellite operations in the Gulf War when we cut down certain transmissions...." He predicted the caller would not be calling in again. Speculations: 1. Test of radio network and public response to an EMP pulse disabling the late-night national radio talk show that people are most likely to listen to in event of a disaster. 2. Psyop media manipulation to achieve a specific public effect, perhaps related to a planned bioterrorist or other attack (or simulated attack) in certain cities. Caller sounded convincing but may have, of course, been subjected to electrical shock or other duress in a controlled environment during the call. Questions: 1. Did anyone else note an EMP-like effect (malfunctions or damage to computers, calculators, watches, VCRs, modems, and other electronic devices) at approximately 1:45 A.M. Friday morning? If so, what was the damage and what is your location? 2. How unusual is this type of communications satellite outage?
