The scrubbing of Art Bell's programs from YT is, to my understanding, related to copyright claims, and it impacts all of the episodes from his
programs, including this one.
I don't find this call particularly convincing. It reminds me of the alleged call-in from a pilot flying his Cessna near Area 51 when he claimed that
a "rail gun" emerged from an elevator on the installation, began firing at him, and then his line "went dead".
"I'm not sure what I just heard" seemed to be Art's stock reply to (deliberate?) moments of levity on the show.
I remember the call back where the guy admitted it was a hoax. It was quite some time ago, but seems to me the guy did sound like the original caller.
Does anyone have that particular video? I would like to hear it again.
My old punk band, Agent 51, was the first to put the Area 51 frantic call on an album/song back in 1997 (before Tool). So if it ever disappears
everywhere else, you can find it here:
