June 11, 1997: Alien Agenda - Jim Marrs
Published 2 years, 5 months ago
Description
Art Bell welcomes journalist and author Jim Marrs to discuss his comprehensive new book Alien Agenda, which examines the extraterrestrial presence from ancient astronauts to modern abductions. Marrs, a lifelong researcher of the UFO phenomenon and author of the Kennedy assassination book Crossfire, describes himself as a skeptical believer and states flatly that the controversy over the reality of UFOs is over. He credits government-trained remote viewers, many of whom reported direct contact with non-human intelligence during classified military programs, as a key factor in his research.
The conversation covers cattle mutilations as possible ecological monitoring, the remote viewing theory that crop circles serve as transitory guideposts for interdimensional travelers, and evidence of advanced technology in human prehistory. Marrs connects the 1947 Roswell incident to the sudden creation of the national security state, arguing that the military treats UFO technology as potential weaponry and maintains secrecy to preserve control. He notes that even Senator Barry Goldwater was denied access and cursed out by General Curtis LeMay when he inquired about classified UFO materials.
Art and Marrs discuss why disclosure remains unlikely through government channels, with Marrs warning that an undeniable public event could be exploited to justify emergency restrictions on civil liberties. They also examine NASA''s withholding of anomalous lunar photographs and the significance of the STS-48 shuttle footage showing objects performing impossible maneuvers in orbit.
