December 23, 1998: UFO Footage - Robert Kiviat
Published 1 year, 10 months ago
Description
Art Bell welcomes television producer Robert Kiviat, known for his Fox Network specials on UFOs and unexplained phenomena. Kiviat has secured exclusive rights to a remarkable six-and-a-half-minute UFO video shot by Sharon Rowlands, a Derbyshire housewife who captured the footage after hearing strange sounds outside her home during a wave of UFO activity in October 1997. The BBC ran the story as front-page news, and Kiviat paid a licensing fee of approximately 20,000 dollars for broadcast rights.
What makes the footage particularly significant is its striking resemblance to objects captured by NASA cameras during the famous space shuttle tether incident. Both show disc-shaped craft with a distinctive notch on the edge and a pulsing circle in the center. Kiviat plans to challenge NASA to publicly address the similarity between their own space footage and this ground-level recording from England, testing whether the agency will finally acknowledge what their cameras have captured.
Art also showcases an anonymously submitted UFO video from North Bay, Ontario, that he describes as one of the most impressive he has ever seen. Kiviat discusses his upcoming series "Could It Be True," additional cases involving UFO footage from a family traveling through Texas, and a Bigfoot video from the Florida Everglades.
