August 25, 1995: Open Lines - Alien Hotline I

Art Bell opens the first Alien Hotline, inviting callers who claim to be extraterrestrials, hybrids, abductees, or people with direct knowledge of alien contact.

The special line produces earnest testimony, playful claims, warnings, and arguments over how anyone could verify an extraordinary identity by telephone. Art tests each story while the broader audience weighs belief, performance, fear, and the enduring appeal of direct contact.
