February 26, 1995: UFO Reporting Center - Peter Davenport

Peter Davenport, director of the National UFO Reporting Center, returns to Art Bell with another wave of compelling UFO reports collected through his Seattle hotline, now averaging thousands of calls over just six months of operation.

Howe opens with an update from western Pennsylvania where witnesses observed triangular objects accompanied by confetti-like debris over Jeanette, while television stations were flooded with calls about mysterious light beams descending over a five-county area. A Reno woman describes watching a rectangle of colored lights silently transform into a horizontal white triangle in the mountains near Pyramid Lake. Davenport then details sightings from Michigan involving twelve stealth-fighter-shaped objects projecting columns of light to the ground, the McMinnville, Tennessee explosion that drew federal agents who pressured locals into silence, and a New Mexico witness whose disk sighting was reported directly through the FAA. He discusses military jet pursuit of UFOs, including the curious use of obsolete A-4 Skyhawks chosen for their resistance to electromagnetic interference.

Art Bell and Davenport make a persuasive case that the phenomenon is accelerating and that official silence grows more untenable with each credible report.
