November 10, 1998: Alien Encounters - Robert Raith | Beyond the Big Bang - Paul LaViolette
Published 1 year, 11 months ago
Description
Art Bell presents stunning photographs sent by Robert Raith depicting what Raith claims is an alien craft hovering in Washington State forest and the body of a being killed by psychologist Dr. Jonathan Reed. According to Raith, Reed was hiking with his dog when the animal attacked the creature. After the alien killed the dog, Reed struck the being with a heavy branch. The photographs, developed by Kodak on 35-millimeter film, show the craft resembling a black diamond shape and the alien with childlike proportions, a large head, and dark eyes.
Raith explains that an earlier package of evidence was stolen from a courier who was physically attacked, and that associates who knew about the encounter have either disappeared or died. Art displays the original photographs on his studio camera and posts them to his website, which immediately buckles under the traffic. A follow-up interview with Raith and Dr. Reed is announced for the following night.
In the second half, Dr. Paul LaViolette challenges Big Bang cosmology, arguing for a continuous creation model supported by what he calls subquantum kinetics. He contends that cosmological redshift results from photon energy loss in low-gravity regions rather than universal expansion, and that ancient creation myths from Egypt, Greece, and the Tarot encode a sophisticated wave-based physics lost after prehistoric cataclysms.
