Art called me about a month ago to tell me that Premiere was using the occasion of his retirement to cancel Dreamland. This did not surprise me. When their parent company, Clear Channel, bought the Matt Drudge program, they were planning to cancel Dreamland. It was only the intervention of Art Bell and his partner Alan Corbeth that prevented this.

Instead, Clear Channel moved Dreamland to Saturday night. This was done with virtually no notice to stations. As a result, Dreamland lost about fifty stations and for a time the schedule was in chaos. But the efforts of Alan Corbeth’s staff in the Medford, Oregon office got the situation fixed. However, Premiere never gave the program any affiliate support and made no effort to sell advertising on it.

For two years, residents of a suburb in Victoria, British Columbia, have had garage doors open by themselves, sprinklers that come when they’re not supposed to and radios that play several stations at once. VCRs and TV sets go on spontaneously and one person?s brass bed got warm. Chris Burke says his electrically-controlled bed has been folding up at night. “The legs start to come up and the head starts to come up,” Burke says. “That’s pretty scary when you are in the middle of a sleep.”

The Canadian government has appointed a retired university professor to investigate the strange electrical phenomena that began after two 200-foot transmitting towers went up 50 feet from a suburban neighborhood, without consulting with the local government.

Before the Gulf War, some of Britain’s top microbiology labs were infiltrated by Iraqi scientists in order to gain expertise on germ warfare. The scientists, financed by grants from the Iraqi government, applied for and received research jobs in leading academic and medical institutions.

Dr. Joseph Selkon, an Oxford microbiologist, was working on a project to prevent bacteria from becoming more resistant to antibiotics. But antibiotic resistance is not a significant problem in Iraq, which made him suspicious. His suspicions grew when he questioned colleagues in other departments and found that Iraqis were only interested in microbiology, which could be applied to germ warfare.

According to a Turkish UFO site, on November 1st, airline pilots in several different planes, as well as witnesses on the ground, saw a bright light they first thought was another plane–then realized was a UFO–when it broke up into a group of smaller lights and rapidly vanished. One pilot says, “I’m 100 percent certain that the object I saw was not a conventional aircraft, an asteroid or a comet. It was definitely a UFO.”
