February 28, 2002: 100 Million Years Old Human Tooth - Steve Smith | The Billy Meier UFO Case - Michael Horn

0:00 / 0:00
Art Bell interviews Steve Smith of Shreveport, Louisiana, whose father discovered a human tooth inside a geological core sample in 1948. The sample came from 4,300 feet below the surface near Haynesville, Louisiana, in a layer known as the Gloyd limestone rift, which geologists date to approximately 100 million years ago. Three separate dentists confirmed the artifact is a child's bicuspid tooth, now blackened from fossilization yet still retaining glossy enamel. Smith's father, a geology graduate, documented the discovery in a sworn handwritten statement.

The second half features Michael Horn discussing the Billy Meier UFO contact case from Switzerland. Horn presents the scientific evaluations performed on Meier's physical evidence, including sound recordings containing 32 simultaneous frequencies that engineers at multiple labs could not reproduce, and metal alloy samples that IBM research chemist Marcel Vogel declared impossible to achieve with known terrestrial technology. Art plays the beam ship recording for listeners.

Horn highlights Meier's published predictions from the 1970s that preceded mainstream scientific discoveries by over a decade, including atomic bomb testing's link to ozone depletion, bromine gases damaging the ozone layer, and Venus atmospheric data later confirmed by space probes.

Key Moments

  1. Transcript

    A child's tooth from 4,300 feet down: Art reads the email that prompted the segment: in 1948 a Louisiana oilfield core sample yielded a fossilized human bicuspid from a child, dated by a geologist to roughly 100 million years at the Gloyd limestone rift.

  2. Transcript

    100 million years deep - Gloyd limestone: Smith's brother brought the tooth to a geologist who pulled charts on the Haynesville, Louisiana area and concluded the bed at 4,300 feet - the Gloyd limestone rift - places the tooth at about 100 million years old.

  3. Transcript

    Horn: how he found the Meier case: Michael Horn recounts discovering Billy Meier in a 1979 Bodhi Tree bookstore, then later receiving 1,800–2,000 pages of contact-note transcripts from a retired IRS agent - the documents that hooked him for 23 years.

  4. Transcript

    Meier predictions: California quake and Russian nuclear accident: Horn cites two specific dated contact notes: contact 235 (Feb 3, 1990) predicting the Feb 28 1992 Upland California earthquake, and contact 241 (Feb 3, 1992) predicting a third-week-of-March Russian nuclear accident that occurred March 27, 1992.

  5. Transcript

    Plejaren on retaliating terror with terror: Horn reads a Pleiaran statement that war, assassination, hate, revenge and retaliation are never a means to fight terror, and explicitly calls the U.S. campaign in Afghanistan a long-planned military operation that mainly kills the innocent.
