Returning guest Pamela Stonebrooke, a singer who describes encounters with reptilian beings, joins Art Bell to discuss reptilian encounters after Peter Davenport's pilot-whale segment. Art opens with Peter Davenport discussing mysterious photographs of U.S. Air Force Black Hawk helicopters dumping pilot whales 150 miles out to sea, whales the military had kept for 13 months after they beached themselves near Key West with their tails bent at 90-degree angles. Davenport estimates the operation cost taxpayers over a million dollars and questions why the military would invest such resources in cetacean rehabilitation only to release them back into the wild.

Stonebrooke recounts her ongoing encounters with reptilian beings. She describes a profound telepathic and emotional connection with a reptilian entity, one that began when a human-appearing figure transformed mid-encounter into a scaled creature. A regression session with hypnotherapist Barbara Lamb revealed what Pamela interprets as a past-life memory of existing as a reptilian warrior facing extinction.

Pamela discusses the personal cost of going public, including job loss and strained relationships, while noting she has received hundreds of letters from other women describing similar experiences. She also references frightening incidents suggesting military interest in her case, including waking up drugged with physical injuries after apparent interrogation.

Key Moments

  1. Black Hawks dumping rescued pilot whales 150 miles off Key West: Davenport details a 1992 Seattle newspaper photo showing a U.S. Air Force UH-60 Black Hawk dumping a short-finned pilot whale into the ocean - one of roughly 16 whales beached near Key West in March 1991, then rehabilitated for 13 months and airlifted 150 miles offshore by three helicopters.

  2. Bent tails - flukes turned 90 degrees to the body: Davenport describes the central mystery of the photo: the rescued pilot whales had their flukes grossly bent at 90 degrees to the long axis of their bodies, off to the side - a deformation he says no marine mammal specialist at NOAA has been able to explain.

  3. Bent whale tails compared to crop circle stalks: Davenport draws his connecting hypothesis: the 90-degree bent flukes resemble the deformation seen in bona fide crop circle stalks - a bend duplicable only by microwave radiation, per Levengood and Colin Andrews - and parallels reports of UFOs bending car antennas at 90 degrees.

  4. Blonde surfer shapeshifts mid-act into a reptilian: Stonebrooke recounts her first conscious reptilian encounter: she woke from sleep believing she was making love to a gorgeous blonde man, when mid-act he shapeshifted into a reptilian.
