Show Notes
Art Bell opens an evening of wide-ranging open lines by reflecting on animal communication, the Honda P-2 humanoid robot, and the latest budget deal in Washington. A fax from Arizona reports that optical analyst Jim Dilettoso appeared on Phoenix television claiming he was visited by figures resembling the Men in Black who told him certain NASA scientists believed the Phoenix Lights were extraterrestrial in origin.
Dilettoso joins the program live from his Village Labs facility in Tempe to discuss his analysis of the March 13th Phoenix Lights footage. He explains that frame-by-frame optical testing of the unknown objects reveals light signatures fundamentally different from military flares, comparing the distinction to the difference between a violin and an oboe. He notes the objects vanished not like dimming artificial lights but as though an iris closed over them.
Callers share stories of a glowing UFO hovering over the aircraft carrier USS Kennedy, a blue flash accompanied by missing time during a camping trip, and pets that appear to speak. Art fields calls from listeners whose dogs say ''mama'' and whose cats demand milk, turning the first-time caller line into a dedicated talking animals hotline for the evening.
