Peter Davenport, director of the National UFO Reporting Center in Seattle, and investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe join Art Bell for an evening packed with fresh UFO evidence from across the country.

Howe opens with a stunning report from a Denver family who watched two large black helicopters vanish before their eyes in broad daylight, raising questions about military invisibility technology that may affect the cones and rods of the human eye. Davenport then presents a staggering collection of recent sighting data gathered through his 24-hour hotline, including FAA-reported encounters by commercial pilots at 31,000 feet over Louisiana, a massive UFO flap in McMinnville, Tennessee followed by an unexplained explosion and an influx of federal agents, and triangular craft reported from over 30 states. He plays recorded telephone reports and describes law enforcement officers in Virginia tracking a hovering ship at 90 miles per hour. Davenport also outlines plans to detect UFOs using ionospheric meteor scatter technology.

The sheer volume and credibility of witnesses presented here paint a picture of aerial phenomena that can no longer be casually dismissed.

Key Moments

  1. 1987 CIA invisibility tech using alien-derived photon deflection: Howe's prior week's source - a CIA engineer who told her in 1987 the agency was developing aerial-vehicle invisibility by affecting cones and rods in the human eye, derived from studied crash-disk technology.

  2. Denver family: two black helicopters vanish in clear daylight: Linda Howe airs the eyewitness call from a Denver mother and her teenage children who watched two large black helicopters disappear in mid-air - sound and sight cut out simultaneously - one year before the broadcast.

  3. World War II bomber vanishes over Romulus, Michigan: Davenport corroborates Howe's invisibility report with his own case - kids in Romulus, Michigan watched a huge low-flying World War II-style bomber appear over a tree line, then disappear before their eyes.

  4. McMinnville, Tennessee explosion and federal lockdown: Davenport details the January 7, 1995 mass-witness UFO sighting and immense white explosion over McMinnville, Tennessee - the airport manager scrambled an aircraft, an 8-page TEMA fax was generated, and within hours federal agents told local UFO investigators to stay out of Warren County.

  5. 12 stealth-shaped craft hover over Mecosta County projecting light columns: Davenport's January 4, 1995 Mecosta County, Michigan case: 12 black F-117-like stealth-shaped craft hovering motionless and projecting columns of light to the ground, witnessed by multiple neighbors.
