Subject: IUFO: Area 51 Caller and Satellite Outage on Art Bell's Coast to Coast

"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."

orientation of all communications satellites, from special facilities
provided and manned by the various satellite communications companies. --SW)

On September 11, 1997 while Art had planned an exciting evening of taking
calls from Area 51 employees, little did he know that the cosmos had more
instore that night. (All calls are now available on the Sound Clips Page.)
Midway through the program, during a pretty interesting call, the radio
program abruptly went off the air. First it was thought that the content of
the callers message, may have caused some powers that be, to pull the plug!
But as you are soon to find out, it was the GE Americom satellite going out
of "Earth Lock."
These clips are from the C-Band Satellite feed. Since that feed itself is fed
from the KU band feed from the network, you will hear the network feed at the
bottom of the hour start failing, then later into the program, Art's signal
drops out. We present the entire episode here in a Real-Audio, with a
transcript of the call and a chronology of events.
Chronology
We pick up the network feed at the bottom of the hour approx at 12:30 PDT.
This Real Audio clip runs 30 minutes.

Here is the elapsed timeline of this clip:
0:00 - Art breaks at the bottom of the hour
2:30 - First network feed glitch starts
2:47 - 3:36 More signals breaks of the network
signal 6:00 - Art comes back from break (all
clear) 12:47 - Art takes the Area 51 caller on the
air
Read along with this transcript, courtesy of Wes Thomas.
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 ....
Continuing with the timeline of the sound clip:
13:00 - First glitch occurs
14:30 - 14:55 More signal breakups
14:55 - Signal dead! Art's signal gone
15:20 - Network feed is still up, so music
started
16:40 - Network plays taped program of
Mark Furman interview
18:00 - Network feed starts to drop out
now on C-band link
19:55 - Network feed to C-band is dead
20:55 - Network signal starts returning
26:50 - Art is back on Land-Line to
Network
26:50 - Network link to C-band still bad
At this point, Art and the network are telephone land-line linked to each
other and the network is LL linked to the digital uplink satellite. So all
the affiliates are receiving the program fine (through the digital system),
however the KU to C-Band feed is still choppy and so my personal signal and
the signal that AudioNet receives is still intermittent. Here is a sound clip
of that portion of the program.

After the top of the hour break, Art gets Toni Howell from the network on the
air to explain what has happened. By now the "event" is over and all signals
are back to normal. Art's radio network engineer reports 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). Toni explains the phone call she had with GE Americom in this
RA clip.

Remember, even though they thought the network signal was working, (as it was
for the digital feed to the affiliates), the KU signal from New Jersey to
Denver, which feeds the C-Band signal, was having signal problems along with
Art. It is interesting to note, that each signal dropped out at different
times. While Art's signal was OK, the network was not, and while the network
was working, Art's signal alone dropped out. So it took awhile to figure out
what had happened. Different channels on the satellite dropped out at
different times.
Later in the program, a new caller asked: "What happened during that one
minute of the Area 51 employee call, that we didn't get to hear?" Art just
happened to have a witness in the studio that night. A reporter from Penthouse
Magazine was there doing a story on Art. So when asked, Art puts the reporter
on the headset and has him answer a few questions about the call. Here is that
segment.

Well, that's about it. If we get the official story from GE Americom, we'll
post it here. This program will be repeated this weekend, and as I stated
above, I will post all the calls that did make it on the air, to the sound
clips page in a few days.
