July 27, 1998: UFO Phenomena - Whitley Strieber
Published 1 year, 11 months ago
Description
Art Bell welcomes Whitley Strieber for a wide-ranging conversation that begins with worldwide volcanic unrest from Mount Etna to Popocatepetl and moves into Strieber''s most detailed account of a close encounter. Art debuts a night vision camera pointed toward Area 51 that captures live images of the desert sky every 30 seconds, while Strieber describes a June 6th visit from a small, elderly man who appeared fully human and walked into his Toronto hotel room after a knock on the door.
The visitor spoke with extraordinary clarity and told Strieber that the world as we understand it is breaking apart, that the process is already irreversible, and that humanity stands at a transition as significant as when life first emerged from the oceans. He referenced the shift from the age of Pisces to Aquarius and suggested humans were created to survive this moment by expanding consciousness beyond three dimensions. Strieber notes remarkable parallels between this message and information Art received independently on a prior Dreamland broadcast about time travelers and forbidden archaeology.
The encounter left Strieber temporarily able to perceive the thoughts of people around him, an unsettling ability that faded within hours. He discusses the implant still lodged in his ear that moved away from a surgeon''s scalpel during an attempted removal. Art and Strieber agree that waiting for outside rescue is futile and that humanity must rely on its own capacity to navigate what lies ahead.
