May 23, 1996: The Turner Diaries - Dr. William Pierce

Dr. William Pierce, retired physicist and author of The Turner Diaries, joins Art Bell for an extended and probing interview following his recent 60 Minutes appearance with Mike Wallace. Pierce traces his ideological evolution from physics professor to political writer, explaining how the Vietnam War and Civil Rights Movement drove him to study history and eventually produce his controversial novel, which he frames as prophetic fiction rather than advocacy. Art presses Pierce on the book's… Full...

May 19, 1996: Arts Parts - Linda Moulton Howe

Linda Moulton Howe returns with the second round of analysis on the alleged Roswell crash fragments sent anonymously to Art Bell , now widely known as "Art's Parts." After the initial testing revealed pure aluminum at an impossible weight, new scrutiny from metallurgists and independent researchers has deepened the mystery. A listener calculated that pure aluminum at the measured dimensions should weigh 97 milligrams, not the 160 milligrams found by the university lab, a discrepancy the scientis...

May 14, 1996: Moon Debate - Richard C. Hoagland & Dr. Edgar Mitchell

Richard C. Hoagland and Apollo 14 astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell go head to head in a live debate over whether ancient glass structures exist on the lunar surface. Hoagland presents enhanced Apollo 14 photographs showing geometric brightening and scattering patterns above the lunar horizon, which he argues are consistent with the remains of enormous, deteriorated glass domes stretching tens of miles across the Moon's surface. Mitchell pushes back firmly but thoughtfully, acknowledging that photogr...

April 25, 1996: UFOs - Richard C. Hoagland

Richard C. Hoagland joins Art Bell to unpack a series of extraordinary events, including astronaut Edgar Mitchell's claims about Roswell and Carl Sagan's surprising shift on Martian structures. Hoagland presents new photographic evidence from Apollo missions showing distorted Earthrise due to lunar glass structures and discusses hyperdimensional physics, Nikola Tesla's coded clues, and zero-point energy. He argues that recent disclosures, including remarks from Margaret Thatcher, signal an accelerating, deliberate unveiling of extraterrestrial intelligence, potentially to control the narrative before private missions confirm lunar anomalies.

April 25, 1996: UFOs - Richard C. Hoagland

Richard Hoagland exposes photographic evidence of artificial structures on the moon and Mars, arguing that NASA and the scientific community suppress this information. He details a perceived government strategy to selectively disclose information, beginning with the Roswell incident rather than "safer" ancient lunar ruins. Hoagland explains his hyperdimensional physics theory, linking it to anomalies like the Apollo 13 trajectory and Tesla's work, and celebrates Carl Sagan's recent public acknowledgment that he "could be wrong" about Mars anomalies. The episode highlights institutional resistance to confronting evidence that challenges conventional views of human uniqueness and space history.
