<<Some critics see Bell as a charlatan, and some guests have been
criticized as cranks or quacks; Coast-to-Coast is subject to frequent
ridicule, criticism, and mocking on the usenet group alt.fan.art-bell,
in the AOL chatroom "Beyond Belief", the Undernet chatroom #coast2coast
(among others), and on some blogs. Radio host Phil Hendrie occasionally
lampoons Bell (using the bumper Dancing Queen by the pop group ABBA),
his guests ("General Johnson Jameson" is a combination of Coast regulars
Ed Dames and Richard C. Hoagland), and the unusual products offered by
advertisers. Others regard Bell as simply a master showman, noting that
he calls his show "absolute entertainment" and further noting his
statements that he does not necessarily accept every guest or caller's
claims but only offers a forum where they will not be openly ridiculed.
Bell is one of only a few talk show hosts who do not screen calls. His
calm attitude, patient questions, and ability to tease substance from
the sometimes nebulous statements of callers and guests gave his show a
relaxed and serious atmosphere earning him much praise from those who
contend the paranormal deserves a mature outlet of discussion in the
media, as well as others who are simply amused by the nightly parade
of the bizarre. Ed Dames, Richard C. Hoagland, Terence McKenna,
Dannion Brinkley, David John Oates and Robert Bigelow
have all been regular guests, typically fringe topics.
.
Bell's interests, however, extend beyond the paranormal. Sometimes his
topics venture into more "normal" areas, such as interviewing singers
Crystal Gayle, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard, comedian George Carlin,
writer Dean Koontz, "hard" science fiction writer Greg Bear, TV talk
host Regis Philbin, Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy, actress Jane Seymour,
the human rights lawyer John Loftus, and frequent guests physicist
Michio Kaku and SETI astronomer Seth Shostak.
.
Beginning in late 1996, Bell was criticized for reporting rumors that
comet Hale-Bopp was being closely followed by a UFO. It was speculated
that members of the Heaven's Gate group committed mass suicide based on
rumors Bell aired, but others discounted this, noting that the Heaven's
Gate website stated that: "Whether Hale-Bopp has a "companion" or not
is irrelevant from our perspective." Susan Wright notes, however, that
Bell was also "one of the first to publicize expert opinions debunking
the 'alien companion'" said to have been shadowing Hale-Bopp.
.
There are three annual features on Bell's program: On April Fool's Day,
Art always winds up having at least one gag story that's presented in
such a way that the listeners are left guessing as to whether or not
their legs are really being pulled hard, such as the time when Bell took
a cellphone call from a pilot who was claiming to be flying his Cessna
airplane over Area 51 and wound up getting shot down while still on the
line. On Halloween, his show is renamed "Ghost to Ghost A.M.", and is
devoted to callers relating their allegedly real-life encounters with
ghosts. Every New Year's Eve, Bell invites callers to make a prediction
for the coming year based on actual precognitive experiences, not just
guesses or wishful thinking. The predictions are then reviewed at the
close of the next year and given a verbal "Ding" if they are deemed
to have been correct, or a "Bonk" if the prediction did not come true.
.
One of the most notorious interviews Bell has had on Coast to Coast AM
was with Mel Waters. Mel Waters talked about what is known as Mel's
Hole in rural Washington, which is said to be an infinitely deep hole
featuring paranormal powers. No such hole has been found.
Bell has also had several amusing arguments with a regular caller
who calls himself "JC Webster the 3rd", a far-right-wing Christian,
who believes that Art is "the Devil's mouthpiece."
In March 2006, Bell received a call from a person or entity calling
itself "Oscar" or "Swede", who is allegedly "the Son of Satan." Bell
reacted toward Oscar in a similar manner as he has reacted toward JC.
At about 1am EST, Friday, September 12, 1997, he designated one phone
line for Area 51 employees who wanted to discuss the secretive base.
Several callers claimed to work at Area 51, but the bizarre highlight
of the night came when a seemingly distraught and terrified man claimed
to be a former Area 51 employee recently discharged for "medical"
reasons. He cited malevolent extraterrestrials at Area 51
("extradimensional beings" who are not "what they claim to be") and
an impending disaster that the government knew would take out "major
population centers." Midway through this call, Bell's program went off
the air for about 30 minutes. After talking to network engineers, the
official explanation was that the network satellite had "lost earth
lock" or forgotten where the earth was. Network officials were baffled.
The caller surfaced a couple weeks later, by the name Brian, and said
he had created the character (confirming the claim after a brief
performance, using the same panicked voice) but said
he had no idea how or why the show was knocked off the air.
This incident formed the basis of the song "Faaip de Oiad" by the
progressive-rock band Tool, which features said interview (with Art
Bell's part cut out), over frantic drumming and buzzing static.
Another song featuring this call was "They are not what they claim to
be ..." by Electronic Artist The Boy Flood. It was featured on the
main page of Coast to Coast AM in the listers submission section.
This version is a more musical affair than the Tool one, but still
has that dark edge about it.
.
In March 2005 a man also called about disturbing events on Kwajalein
and Johnston Atoll about a weapon that only targeted certain people
and could leave others unhurt. He indicated he had been on both
islands (that are US military only) and that these weapons had been
tested in 1993. Art lost the call after another voice came on the
line with a click saying "Shelton, terminate the call from A-6"
Art tried to call the man back but was unsuccessful.>>

Ancient Voyages
During the middle two hours, archeologist and anthropologist Gunnar
Thompson discussed the forbidden history of the world before Columbus.
There were numerous ancient voyages to the New World before 1492, but
most people have a tremendous ignorance of this history, he declared.
Thompson shared evidence for ancient civilizations such as the Chinese
and Roman making trips to the Americas. A Ming Dynasty Map (see
below), created one hundred years before Columbus' voyage, shows
details of North and South America and Chinese maps going back to 1000
AD were also very accurate, he detailed. The Chinese had huge fleets
that sailed to Africa, he added.
A Roman map from the fifth century AD showed a southern continent that
is similar to South America, and Egyptian artifacts were found in El
Salvador in the early 1900's, he continued. However, most historians
adopt a dogmatic view of past explorations and discard this type of
evidence as either a hoax or a fraud, he commented.

I erred. Gangleri is Gunner Tommason. The other guy
is Gunnar Thompson.
