Art Bell makes radio history by bringing forward members of two separate airline crews who publicly describe encountering unidentified objects while flying over Missouri. A Learjet pilot at 39,000 feet reports a missile-like object passing within 1,000 feet below his aircraft, while a second crew in a Beech BE-40 at 37,000 feet independently confirms the sighting. Peter Davenport presents FAA controller testimony and recorded conversations documenting the event.

The air traffic controller on duty confirms he had no radar returns for the object despite switching to primary radar. Both pilots describe being visibly shaken, with one calling back to the controller's frequency minutes later still seeking answers. A former F-16 pilot now flying commercial, Jose, offers his perspective from the cockpit, noting the lights were significantly brighter than anything he had encountered during military refueling operations at altitude.

The program also features Major Ed Dames discussing remote viewing targets including Satan, and Richard C. Hoagland returning to analyze the EgyptAir Flight 990 crash. Hoagland draws attention to the aircraft's evasive-action-like maneuvers captured on radar, suggesting the flight profile resembles a response to an external threat rather than mechanical failure.

Key Moments

  1. Live FAA tape: airline pilots report Texas UFO: Peter Davenport airs raw FAA controller audio from October 26 of two commercial flights over Dallas-Fort Worth describing three very bright lights at 11 o'clock 'pretty far out there,' with controllers showing intermittent primary returns and the second crew radioing 'we saw it too.'

  2. FAA controller 'Joe' confirms UFO reports get buried: An anonymous 11-year FAA air traffic controller from Fort Worth Center, identified only as Joe, tells Art there is no official channel above the supervisor for UFO reports and that all radar and voice tapes are erased every 15 days unless flagged as an incident.

  3. NASA scientist Richard Brokaw was on EgyptAir 990: Art reads from the Boston Herald obituary of Flight 990 victim Richard Brokaw, a Princeton physical chemist who spent 22 years at NASA's Lewis Research Center specializing in combustion and high-temperature gases and was awarded the NASA Medal - a detail Art passed to Hoagland for the Enterprise Mission report.

  4. Dames says he remote viewed Satan as a discrete entity: Dames recounts his Christmas TRV 'topical search' on Satan, finding a discrete off-planet entity with a lieutenant operating on Earth, manipulating human puppets - explaining a wave of children-killing-children and connecting his work to Father Malachi Martin's warnings.

  5. 'You can't stop me': Satan was aware of the remote viewer: Asked whether the entity registered his probing, Dames says yes - perceiving it as standing arms-crossed in its 'war room' inviting him to look at its plans because nothing can stop them, with destruction preordained at the mass level if not the individual.
