What I have to say might be old news by the time this is read, but I'll go ahead with this just in case. During the early morning hours of 9-12-97, I happened to tune in to a New Hampshire radio station (I live in Manchester, N.H.) and by accident, caught the Art Bell radio call-in show. Mr. Bell's program originates I believe out of Las Vegas. The subject of the show was Area 51. Besides the usual call-in telephone number for the listeners, Mr. Bell had a seperate call-in line reserved for employees and ex-employees of Area 51. One caller, I can't recall if he was employed or an ex-employee, called up and started talking about some of the activities concerning Area 51. I couldn't understand some of what he was saying because it was obvious he was very nervous. He then started talking about how major metropolotin areas were soon going to be destroyed by "disasters" and some superior authority was going to control the rural areas of the country and I guess the world because rural people were viewed as being less intelligent and more controllable. He also mentioned something about this "triangular effect", though I didn't know what he meant by that. By this time, he had become very distraught, so much so that it sounded like he was going to have a breakdown right on the air. I thought this guy was some kind of nut-case and was getting a pretty good laugh out of the whole thing. After he started talking about this triangular thing, the radio station suddenly went silent. During the first second it went silent, there was a voice that was barely audible that said, "disconnect". The station was silent for about 2 minutes when they came back on the air replaying a portion of the Art Bell program from a previous night. After a few minutes, Art Bell came back on the air live saying the station was running on a back-up system. He mentioned, if I remember correctly, that there was some sort of system overload and the transmitter pretty much blew up. He said this had never before in his broadcasting career, and it was the first time in the 35 years the radio station has been on the air that it had been knocked off the air like this. Coincidence? Shortly thereafter, other callers acquainted with Area 51 started calling in. They all said they guaranteed that that previous caller will never be heard from again, although they didn't go into detail as to why not. One of these callers mentioned he had worked in security at the site and admitted he had killed a trespasser that ventured to close to Area 51. Another caller from Vancouver, stated the Vancouver radio station he had been listening to the program on, was still silent and he was picking up the show on a Seattle station. Interesting. Later on, Mr. Bell mentioned when that caller had been cut off from the public, he was still communicating with him. He said the caller had become very hysterical and started screaming uncontrollably before the line went dead. Unfortunately, they weren't able to record that part of the incident. Makes me wonder what was going on. Did anybody else hear this show? I'm at tkern@usa.net
