I remember listening to that show and it was really weird at the time because he seemed in such a panic right out of the shoot, I was also listening the night he called back and explained the hoax to Art. It was actually a pretty good hoax that good ol Art bought hook, line and sinker.

Another interesting note on the call is that the band Tool used it in the song Faaip De Oiad that appears on their Lateralus disk. If you get a chance give it a listen, it's even more disturbing set to their music.

Man, I just listened to that and you're totally right. Tool makes it MUCH worse...

I beleive this. He's also been visited in the middle of the night by the CIA and asked many questions which is the reason why now he really doesnt do many politically motivated shows. Noory does them. I once emailed him and he emailed me back letting me know he's not up to getting the "knock" at 3am any more.

When this was last discussed a lot of people came to the conclusion that it was a hoax but maybe what the hoaxer said was too close to the truth, causing the govt to pull the plug on the transmission.

I vote hoax.

And if a govenment agency would want to block a radio station, they wouldn't announce it the way it was announced in the hoax.

omg we are all doomed.I hope i dii ASAP and be born in a new planet which is very very advanced

Ever think that maybe the real hoaxer was the 'government agent'?

Food for thought.

i will immediately send the original clip and the confession to the NSA for voice recognition and analyzation to make sure it is the same person on each clip.

If it was a hoax, then how do you explain that the satellites went down and several callers had thier phones go dead? You'd almost have to say that the callers and Art Bell himself were in on the hoax.

I'd say that it is more likely that the person who called in claiming it was a hoax a year later, wasn't the same guy as who made the first call.

That's kinda freaky. I think it would be alot easier to dismiss if the caller simply just hung up, pretending to get cut off, but to totally lose the signal on their end would denote a REALLY big hoax, a REALLY big coincidence, or the possibility of this being real. Take your pick. As far as him saying they wanted to wipe out the major cities for easier control of the rest, I hope it's a hoax.

How do you know the government didn't MAKE him call back in and say it was a hoax?

Is it said anywhere why he waited one year to make his confession? If one is to believe that he himself had actually suffered from his prank, why wait so long to make it open?

I guess you could say the same on the flipside.
Why did gov. agents wait one year to debunk it etc...etc My guess is that it really was joke, and a very poor one at that, since he was so very convincing and didnt confess the day after or something.

I´ll never understand why people have this urge to trick and fool eachother with serious matters. Should be common sense IMO.

I mean if we ever would get the real McCoy reporting something similiar, none would believe him/her. Its the old "dont cry wolf...".

This story is still creepy regardless of its validity.

Everyone please take into account that the caller's alleged intention was to warn people of imminent mass killings, and genocide by their own government.

Instead of ringing up Kofi Annan, he decides to go live on air with Art Bell, knowing that "they" will have tracked him down shortly.
This would be the end of his (trans-) mission then.
And did he make use of the one-time opportunity?
He was completely unprepared, and only cranked out vague suggestions-
quite a silly attempt to safe the life of millions of people...

and rather unbelievable-

I vote for hoax.

Sure you would write a screenplay before making the call. You knew what would happend to you and your family! If i knew what he did i would be #ing scared! I would be crying to - not only for myself but for the whole world. I think this guy was the real deal. To many things in this to go wrong makes it real. Sry bout the gramma and all

i just seen the video on disclose tv, it's really weird and have a huge hint of reality, and about the guy who call one year later, if the story is true, that can't be him, he should die for what he did/sayed, the governement just can't go to him and tell him "what you did is wrong now call back to say it was a hoax" let me laugh.

If it's a hoax the whole art bell crew are implicated in it, maybe it's just a guy from the radio station who called? and who can crash a transmission in that way expect the the radio crew himself?

But that seem very real to me, and if it's true the guy is probably dead!!! r.i.p.
