From: campbell@ufomind.com (Glenn Campbell, Las Vegas) Date: Fri, 27 Jun 1997 19:25:58 -0800 Subject: Coming July 8: a UFO "Investigation" on MTV |
An MTV investigation -- now that's a trip! I might turn up in this one. An MTV crew made the rounds in Vegas a few months ago. Airhead journalism! It took them forever to find my apartment. They kept calling on their cell, and I kept telling them where to come. They arrived with a crew of 5-6 & a rider truck with lots of equipment. Lighting was VERY important in this shoot. The interview went okay, and I don't think I humiliated myself, although there was a high potential for it. Should be good for a laugh -- for those of you who still watch television. (I've gone cold turkey.) Glenn =============================================================== Date: Wed, 25 Jun 1997 09:20:07 -0500 From: Tim Joiner <tjoiner@flash.net> To: UFO Updates <updates@globalserve.net> Subject: MTV Special Monday June 23 10:52 AM EDT Company Press Release MTV News investigates extra-terrestrials Abducted! An MTV News Special Report debuts Tuesday, July 8 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT NEW YORK--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--June 23, 1997-- July 8 marks the 50th anniversary of the report of the UFO crash at Roswell, N.M. You've investigated their visits on the X-Files, you've watched them devour the planet in "Independence Day," and you've read about their nocturnal activities in the Enquirer. Hosted by Kurt Loder, "Abducted!: An MTV News Special Report" will examine the increasing interest in the paranormal in pop culture, featuring interviews with pop stars such as Marilyn Manson, Bill Paxton, and Will Smith and will highlight some famous alleged alien abductions in past history. "Abducted!: An MTV News Special Report" premiers on MTV on Tuesday, July 8th at 10:00 p.m. (ET/PT), the 50th anniversary of the report of the UFO crash at Roswell, N.M. The show begins with a portrait of the typical young "abductee," like Carrie, age 24, who believes she was brought aboard a space craft where she was accosted by "Men in Black," and Vogue who believes aliens brutalize him in abductions that occur between the tics of seconds. Through in-depth interviews with young abductees from different parts of the country, the viewer will hear first-hand accounts of their incredible experiences. MTV News will listen to their detailed stories, look at the physical and psychological evidence, and attempt to make sense of their bizarre experiences that transcend traditional Western thought. Abducted! also lends an ear to the skeptics, who will attempt to explain the unexplainable. MTV News visits a professor of neuroscience, Dr. Persinger at Laurentian University who has demonstrated the ability to artificially reproduce an abduction in a controlled laboratory setting. MTV News visits Dr. Persinger's laboratory and talks to professionals who have researched the phenomenon of implanted memories. Finally, MTV News will encounter a group of L.A. based musicians called "The Ark Alliance" who are using electronic music to lure aliens life forms down to their all night rave. MTV News will speak to these young people and hear why they are so confident about the aliens' imminent arrival. "Abducted!: An MTV News Special Report" is produced and directed by Jesse Ignjatovic. The associate producer is Jennifer Lee. The executive producers are Lauren Lazin and Dave Sirulnick.
