July 18, 2001: Asian Enigma, Wild Forest Creatures of Laos - Linda Moulton Howe
Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description
Art Bell welcomes investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe, who reports from Philadelphia with updates on the Hartsville, Tennessee energy burst and a firsthand account of her expedition to Laos for an upcoming Discovery Channel series called Asian Enigma. Linda reveals that the mysterious power surges at WJKM radio have continued, with another event striking at 4 a.m. on July 18th and forcing the station to relocate its computer equipment entirely.
Cornell physicist Michael Kelly, a consultant on the HAARP facility in Alaska, tells Linda the Hartsville event involved enormous concentrated energy inconsistent with conventional explanations. He suggests ball lightning as one possibility but acknowledges it cannot account for the mile-wide debris field of scorched birds. A seismic disturbance registering 2.6 on the Richter scale was also confirmed in nearby Franklin, Tennessee the day after the original burst.
Linda then describes her journey along Route 9 in Laos, a region climatologists say has remained unchanged since the age of dinosaurs. Local villagers and Vietnam War veterans have reported encounters with tall, bipedal, hair-covered creatures ranging from six to fifteen feet tall. She recounts navigating unexploded ordnance, encountering a venomous snake, and gathering physical evidence for the Discovery Channel production airing in November 2001.
