April 12, 2002: Open Lines
The evening takes unexpected turns as callers share remarkable stories. A former law enforcement officer describes encountering a bat-faced winged creature with glowing red eyes during a night patrol at a water reservoir, while another caller recounts his cat apparently speaking the words "get away" during a heated feline argument instigated by a neighborhood cat. A self-proclaimed Area 51 employee claims 27 underground levels, tunnels stretching to the Atlantic, and personal experience piloting alien reproduction craft.
Art also discusses plasma ball research showing these mysterious objects can increase their energy in defiance of known physics, a man who allegedly shot out his own brain tumor, and the ongoing mystery of chemtrails after a listener reports an FAA representative confirming they are a military operation.
