December 28, 1998: Encounter with Alien - Dr. Jonathan Reed & Robert Raith
Published 1 year, 10 months ago
Description
Art Bell welcomes back Dr. Jonathan Reed and Robert Raith to revisit one of the most controversial alien encounter stories ever told on the program. Dr. Reed recounts his 1996 experience in the Cascade Mountains of Washington state, where he claims his dog was killed by a small humanoid creature that he then struck with a branch, discovered a hovering black obelisk emitting a harmonic tone, and transported the being home in a thermal blanket.
The discussion covers new photographic evidence, including detailed close-up images of the creature's head and eye that Art has posted to his website. Dr. Reed describes subsequent events: the creature reanimating in his freezer days later, his house being ransacked, the disappearance of his friend Gary, and the death of his associate Dolly under suspicious circumstances. He reveals for the first time that a small device with three symbols and three needles, believed to link the alien to the obelisk, has been examined and smuggled out of the country.
Callers press Dr. Reed on details about the creature's clothing, his emotional state, and his credibility. Reed confirms he passed a polygraph test and describes how 75 percent of his evidence was stolen. Robert Raith discusses their ongoing efforts to publish a book titled Link: An Extraterrestrial Odyssey and their search for a publisher willing to take on the project despite reported threats.
