Glenn Campbell, the principal local activist seeking government accountability at Area 51, joins Art Bell to share years of firsthand research from the secretive military base 90 miles north of Las Vegas. The program opens with Linda Moulton Howe reporting on the newly discovered Comet Hale-Bopp, a surprisingly bright object beyond Jupiter's orbit that astronomers believe could become the comet of the millennium by 1997.
Campbell describes his two-year stay in Rachel, Nevada, where he investigated the base's operations and collected testimony from former workers. He discusses Bob Lazar's claims of reverse-engineered alien craft at the S-4 facility south of Area 51 and reveals details from a second source called J-Rod, a retired engineer in his seventies who claims to have designed components for a flight simulator that trained pilots to fly replicated alien discs. Campbell also addresses the government's annexation of Freedom Ridge, once the best public vantage point overlooking the base. Art Bell shares his own dramatic sighting of a silent, triangular craft floating over the Pahrump Valley.
A rare combination of credible field research and compelling firsthand accounts makes this a standout exploration of Area 51 secrecy.
