Morton describes his firsthand observations from a mountain overlooking the Groom Lake facility, where he says he witnessed and videotaped glowing disc-shaped craft testing at low altitude on Wednesday nights. He outlines a timeline of alleged alien-government interaction beginning with the 1942 Battle of Los Angeles, through the Roswell crash, and into a supposed 1955 exchange-of-ambassadors agreement at Area 51. Morton claims the deal allowed aliens access to Earth for genetic material in exchange for advanced technology, and that abductees were meant to have their memories wiped and be returned unharmed. He further asserts that secret operations were relocated from Area 51 to Pax River, Maryland, and that clandestine American bases exist on the moon. The discussion touches on the Billy Meier contact case from Switzerland and Morton's predictions about catastrophic events in the coming decades.
A provocative and wide-ranging episode that captures the height of 1990s Area 51 speculation through one of its most colorful voices.
Key Moments
Finding the Area 51 viewing hilltop: Morton recounts climbing a hill near Groom Lake in May 1991 from which he could look down on the facility, videotape it, and capture objects coming and going - the discovery that ultimately led the military to confiscate 4,000 acres.
Disc swooped his car, sunburn and fever: Morton's first-ever UFO sighting in February 1991: a craft testing 50 to 100 feet off the ground swooped his car at Groom Lake; he and a friend chased it, came back sunburned and ran high fevers for three days.
Mount Rainier eruption prediction: Morton calls Mount Rainier the most dangerous volcano in the Northern Hemisphere, says it has vented multiple times in the past three to four months, and predicts a 5.4 Seattle-area quake as the trigger for an eruption that could lower North American temperatures by three degrees.
