July 17, 2001: NIDS Research - Colm Kelleher | EMP Burst - Ted Randall
Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description
Art Bell returns from a medical absence to present two extraordinary stories. First, Ted Randall, chief engineer for a Nashville radio group, describes a devastating energy burst that struck WJKM radio in Hartsville, Tennessee on July 6, 2001. On a clear blue day with no lightning, the station lost its transmitter, all computer motherboards, phone lines, and ISDN connections. At least 60 birds were found dead across a mile-wide city park, their wings scorched while their feet remained intact.
Ted reports that the adjacent newspaper experienced interior flashes of light and power surges, and that an insurance company over a mile away suffered similar disturbances that same afternoon. He also reveals that a nearby decommissioned nuclear power plant has generated persistent rumors of clandestine activity, including unmarked helicopters and fluorescent bulbs spontaneously lighting at two miles distance.
In the second segment, Colm Kelleher of the National Institute for Discovery Science discusses NIDS becoming the FAA's official reporting point for pilot UFO sightings. He covers the recent Carteret, New Jersey mass sighting of orange V-formation lights, and shares analysis showing triangular craft sightings clustering along flight paths between Air Force logistics bases.
