Art Bell and author Whitley Strieber find their interview overtaken by a breaking news event as hundreds of witnesses across the Pacific Northwest report fiery objects streaking through the sky. Beginning around 9:06 PM Pacific time on November 14th, callers from Vancouver to central Washington describe slow-moving orange balls of fire at remarkably low altitude, some appearing to pass behind trees and pulsate with light.
NORAD and the Air Force claim the objects are debris from a Russian SL-12 rocket booster that crashed into the Pacific Ocean. However, dozens of eyewitnesses contradict this explanation, reporting the objects continued eastward well beyond Seattle into central and eastern Washington. A caller from near the Kingdome describes up to seven distinct objects in a straight horizontal line, moving at the speed of a landing airliner with no sound whatsoever.
Between the live reports, Strieber shares a startling personal update regarding an alleged implant in his ear. He reveals that during a surgical attempt to remove the object, it migrated away from the surgeon''s scalpel, prompting the doctor to remark that it appeared to be alive. The object later returned to its original position after the wound healed.
