August 12, 2015: Open Lines - September Doom

Art Bell opens the phones after a guest cancellation and discovers a defining theme: widespread dread about September 2015. Americans are stocking up on emergency supplies anticipating economic collapse, natural disaster, or judgment. Art Bell frames it through a metaphor he returns to all night: humans as animals sensing a predator on soft paws, aware something is closing in even if they cannot name it. He cites a Lloyd's of London report projecting potential global collapse from food and… Full show notes & guests: https://artbellarchive.org/episode/august-12-2015-open-lines-september-doom

Joe McMoneagle, Remote Viewer 001 and 20-year participant in Project Stargate, joins Art Bell with a resume spanning the CIA, NSA, DIA, FBI, and most major Defense Department commands.

Travis Walton, the Arizona logger whose 1975 alien abduction remains one of ufology's most documented cases, joins Art Bell from Snowflake, Arizona to revisit the night that defined his life. Walton retraces the events: his crew encountering a metallic disc in the Apache National Forest, the energy blast that threw his body 10 to 20 feet, and the crew's terrified flight.

August 6, 2015: Bigfoot Discovery Museum - Michael Rugg

Michael Rugg, curator of the Bigfoot Discovery Museum in California's Santa Cruz Mountains, joins Art Bell with a childhood encounter that launched a lifetime of research. Around 1950, Rugg wandered from his parents' campsite on Northern California's Eel River and found a towering figure covered in reddish-brown hair on an open sandbar, a memory suppressed for decades until a book passage triggered a flashback his mother corroborated. Rugg presents a possible Bigfoot tooth found near his museum… Full show notes & guests: https://artbellarchive.org/episode/august-6-2015-bigfoot-discovery-museum-michael-rugg
