December 9, 1999: The Captured Alien - Jonathan Reed & Robert Raith
Published 1 year, 7 months ago
Description
Art Bell revisits the controversial story of Dr. Jonathan Reed, who claims to have encountered and captured an alien being in the Pacific Northwest woods. Tonight's broadcast introduces new witnesses and forensic evidence, including never-before-seen photographs of an alien artifact with hieroglyphic symbols and gold needle-like protrusions, which Art has scanned and posted on his website.
Microbiologist Harold Chacon presents his laboratory analysis of tissue and blood samples allegedly taken from the creature. He reports that the skin tissue is denser and more transparent than human skin, with half the fat-producing glands. The blood reveals a chromosome count of 46, matching humans, but nine of those chromosomes are found only in dolphins and certain sea tortoises. Chacon states that no known earthly animal matches the complete biological profile.
Former landlord Larry Arthur confirms that Reed's Seattle home was ransacked by unknown parties who cut through floors and ceilings, removed electrical outlet covers, tore apart furniture, and pried a steel garage door from its frame. Arthur describes finding mysterious probe holes in the yard. Reed reports that his fireproof filing cabinets and all personal belongings were taken.
