March 16, 2001: Alien in the Freezer - Dr. Jonathan Reed
Published 1 year, 5 months ago
Description
Art Bell presents a packed broadcast that breaks two major stories in a single night. First, investigative reporter Robert Steenson reveals what he believes is the true identity of Dean Kamen's mysterious invention known as "Ginger" or "IT." Using secretly recorded video from a private engineering convention and a photograph of Kamen with President Clinton, Steenson identifies the device as the iBot Transporter, a revolutionary self-balancing wheelchair that rides on just two wheels using gyroscopic servos.
The second half of the program features the return of Dr. Jonathan Reed and his representative Robert Rafe with the controversial "alien in the freezer" story. Reed recounts his October 1996 encounter in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State, where he claims a creature killed his golden retriever by ripping the dog apart before Reed struck it with a branch. He describes the aftermath, including crippling sickness, close-up photographs of the being, and a mysterious obelisk found nearby.
Art examines the photographs and evidence, noting that the story falls into a category where the evidence is considered too good for many skeptics to accept. Reed describes ongoing threats to his safety, having lived in his car and faced multiple assaults since the alleged encounter.
