Coast to Coast AM - 12-22-2011 - YU55, ETs, & Roswell
http://www.mediafire.com/?vnptxh3z5dpbox1 <--
Host: George Noory
Guests: Linda Moulton Howe, James McCanney
Investigative reporter, Linda Moulton Howe, discussed anomalies found on asteroid YU55, as well as recent sightings of strange aerial objects in Canada. She also shared witness testimonies regarding non-human entities seen in a hanger at Roswell in 1947, and the close encounter of a large disk which demonstrated cloaking abilities in 2006. In her first report, Linda spoke with Dr. Lance Benner, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, regarding images taken of the YU55 asteroid. He said that JPL was surprised to see a bulge at the equator of the asteroid, which is an unexpected feature based on its rotation period. Additionally, Benner noted that images of the object show a "sharp, pointy hill" that is unlike anything he's seen on other asteroids.
During the second segment, Linda reported on Greg Crane, an Ontario native who has captured a series of puzzling photographs of anomalous lights repeatedly seen in the sky. Having originally been baffled by the pulsating nature of these lights, Crane explained, he decided to hook a camera and telescope up to a tripod in order to take long-exposure photos of the phenomena and get a better view of them. The subsequent images show bizarre and erratic patterns caused by the object. Crane theorized that the light may be some kind of antigravitic craft and the patterns are due to the influence of Earth's gravity on the object. More here.
Next, Linda shared her conversation with Patrick Murphy, whose father, Francis, was stationed at the Roswell Army Air Field in July of 1947. Patrick revealed that his father saw cargo planes arriving at the base hours after the alleged crash as well as ambulances moments after the event. Subsequently, a hangar at the base was deemed "off limits" to all but the highest ranking officers. His father was told by a security officer that amongst the debris was "strange looking metal" and body parts which did not belong to humans. Later, Francis would oversee the loading of mysterious cargo which had no manifest and consisted of crates that were only numbered and noted to be bound for Wright Patterson AFB. Further info.
In her last report, Linda spoke with Patrick Colligan, who recounted the breathtaking UFO sighting he had in 2006, while working as a correctional officer at a state prison in Roswell. During a night shift, he suddenly heard a series of "pops" and then an electrical crackling sound. Following that, a row of white "lights" appeared in the sky. Upon getting a better view of the object, Colligan saw that the lights were actually illuminated windows situated in the center of a dull gray, saucer-shaped craft. He remembered being terrified at the sheer size of the object, estimated to be over 600 feet wide. As it passed over him, the top and bottom of the craft disappeared, followed by the lighted windows blinking out, leading to the object vanishing.
Comet Lovejoy & Hurricane Prediction
In the first hour, maverick physicist James McCanney talked about Comet Lovejoy as well as hurricane prediction. He said that NASA expected the comet to "melt away" as it passed close to the sun and were surprised when it went through the solar atmosphere and emerged as a Pluto-sized object. McCanney expressed great satisfaction with this turn of events since it appears to disprove the "dirty snowball" theory of comets and strengthens his own research. "This is exactly what I have been talking about," he marveled. McCanney also talked about how hurricanes are influenced by electricity coming from the atmosphere rather than water temperatures or other elements theorized by meteorologists.

Host: George Noory
Guests: Clint Arthur, John Rhodes, Lauren Weinstein, John Hogue
In our 13th edition of the 'Secret Door,' George Noory welcomed three surprise guests who discussed a variety of topics. First through the door, was a curious voice reminiscent of Truman Capote-- George was initially stumped as to its identity. It turned out to be a character voice done by none other than 'crypto-hunter' John Rhodes, who proceeded to chat about reptoids, lizard people, giants, and other anomalous beings. He recently ran across a report by the Native American Paiute tribe in Nevada, discussing their belief about a race that lives underground that is reptilian-humanoid in appearance. Further, some cavern systems might have winged humanoid beings living in them, Rhodes speculated.
Technology and privacy expert Lauren Weinstein was next through the door. Among the issues he addressed, was the messy situation occurring with technology patents. Ever since the US Patent Office started allowing patents on basic processes, a myriad of lawsuits have sprung up between technology companies trying to squeeze money out of each other, he explained. A trend he expects to see in 2012, is the continuing march of processing power of cellphones and portable devices, bringing in spectacular changes in the way we use these devices. There are also advances being made in neural interfaces, such as MRI machines that can show to some extent what a person is seeing through their eyes, he reported.
Last through the door was authority on prophetic traditions, John Hogue, who said he is just finishing up his new book on predictions for 2012. He addressed the notion of what he called "propheganda," in which people try to make or change the future. He also shared some of his predictions for the new year. He foresees a year of floods and upheaval, with possibly another large tsunami. Starting in February, we are entering "a mini-age of Neptune," an astrological period that will last until 2025, with millions displaced by floods, he said, adding that some nations will simply collapse from natural disasters.
'Last Year' Program
Riffing on the fact that we are now exactly one year before the end of the Mayan Calendar, first hour guest, author Clint Arthur talked about his 'Last Year of Your Life' program, in which people try to live each day for one year like it's the last year of their lives. He cited a Steve Jobs comment that the most powerful tool he ever had was knowing that he was going to die, as it stripped away all his fears. Arthur detailed three goals of his program: accomplish what's on your bucket list, create a legacy based on what is special about you, and have more fun than you've ever had in one year's time.

Coast to Coast AM - 12-19-2011 - Environmental Activism
http://www.mediafire.com/?h25d9n3r14yvdr3 <--
Host: George Noory
Guests: Erin Brockovich, Christopher James Clark
Legal clerk and environmental activist, Erin Brockovich, was portrayed by Julia Roberts in the Oscar winning film bearing her name. She discussed how she won her epic battle against Pacific Gas & Electric, and how she continues to challenge corporations around the country to help average Americans in their fight for toxin-free environments. The case against PG&E involved contaminated ground water in Hinkley, CA, and the movie portrayed the situation with about 95% accuracy, she detailed. A number of the cases she's subsequently worked on have dealt with contaminated well water. Some 30 million Americans get their water from wells, but there is currently no system for monitoring their safety, she noted.
Among the sites/cases, she's currently working on are Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, where thousands have been poisoned by a tainted water supply; Beverly Hills High School where some 450 kids came down with cancer, thought to be related to toxic gases emitted from an oil production facility underneath the school; and a 'cancer cluster' in a rural section of West Palm Beach, FL possibly related to pesticides seeping into the ground water. Brockovich announced that she is working with Google to create a cancer cluster map, highlighting locations where specific types of cancer are unusually high in number.
She also talked about her suspense novels Rock Bottom and Hot Water, in which she's created a character similar to herself who deals with environmental investigations. By telling a story that has truth in it in an entertaining fictional format, she hopes to ignite and inspire her readers to take action in their own communities. Brockovich said she fields many emails and queries from people who approach her about worker's comp and whistle-blower issues, environmental problems, pharmaceutical and disease issues, as well as corruption in government, and international concerns.
Globalizaton & Environmentalism
First hour guest, writer & researcher Chris Clark shared his concerns about globalism, which he believes is a long-term agenda of elites to gradually transfer sovereignty from nation-states to regional governments and international organizations, and eventually lead to a one-world government. Citing the writing of historian Carroll Quigley, such a one-world government would be authoritarian and bring in a new form of feudalism, Clark commented, adding that the environmental movement has been misdirected so as to serve the globalist agenda.

Coast to Coast AM - 12-18-2011 - Rock & Roll and UFOs
http://www.mediafire.com/?xf5fgu02nt9z8ez <--
Host: George Knapp
Guests: Tom DeLonge, William Pepper
George Knapp was joined by Tom DeLonge, member of the band Blink 182, for a discussion on the weird world of rock and roll, his longstanding interest in UFOs, and his new website that he hopes will become a clearinghouse for paranormal news. They were joined by frequent photographer of rock musicians, Robert Knight, during the first half of the third hour. DeLonge traced his interest in the paranormal back to 7th grade and recalled that the first thing he did when his band signed a record deal, in the mid-90's, was to go out and buy a computer "specifically to go on the Internet and research UFOs."
As his band became more successful, DeLonge said, he reached out to UFO disclosure advocate Steven Greer and met him several times. At one point, Greer even gave him 36 hours of taped testimonies from government insiders sharing their knowledge of the phenomenon. Following that, DeLonge's phone lines began acting strangely, despite changing homes several times. In retrospect, he theorized that Greer's work was being facilitated by the government in the hopes of seeing how such UFO disclosures were being disseminated. As such, DeLonge surmised that those behind the plan were caught off guard when a rock star suddenly received the information and, thus, they began tapping his phone to see what he might do with it.
DeLonge also revealed some insights he's been afforded over the years thanks to his celebrity status and interest in the paranormal. He shared the story of a friend who visited NASA and inquired about UFOs. While the NASA official denied knowledge of the phenomenon, she did say that, after the final Apollo mission, the FBI came to the space agency and "took and destroyed all the technology and all the paperwork and everything on how to get to the moon." Additionally, DeLonge recounted a conversation about black triangle craft that he had with a pair of friends from the "deepest of the deepest engineering groups in the United States." After detailing how he believes the triangles are secret US anti-gravity craft, DeLonge said, the engineer gravely warned him that "you better be really careful with what you're talking about."
The RFK Assassination
During the first hour, William Pepper, the lawyer for Sirhan Sirhan, explained why he believes his client is innocent of the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. He noted that, until recent changes in the law, Sirhan's case has been "mired in procedural quagmire" for decades without any opportunity for a fresh legal examination of the facts. Pepper detailed a litany of issues which suggest that Sirhan was not Kennedy's assassin, including audio forensics of the shooting as well as the analysis from a Harvard psychologist who asserts that the alleged killer was the victim of "hypnoprogramming." Having filed the necessary legal paperwork to challenge Sirhan's conviction, Pepper hopes for a positive ruling sometime early in 2012.

Host: John B. Wells
Guests: Mark Anthony, Open Lines
Filling in for George Noory, John B. Wells welcomed lawyer and medium Mark Anthony for a discussion on his psychic abilities and work with spirits. Anthony revealed that he was born into a family with psychic abilities, and could see spirits from a very young age—an ability also shared by his parents. Anthony said he eventually embraced his mediumship and went on to study the topic of evidential mediumship at a formal educational institution. He defended his practice against those who would use the Bible to condemn it, noting that several biblical characters, including Joseph and Elijah in the Old Testament and Jesus in the New Testament, demonstrated what appears to be psychic medium powers. "We are all instruments of the will of God," he added.
Anthony spoke about the esoteric elements behind various Christmas traditions, such as the Star of Bethlehem. Two thousand years ago, adept astrologers known as Magi observed and tracked a unique alignment of planets in the constellation of Aeries, he explained. This astrologically significant event occurred on April 17, 6 B.C., will never happen again, and signaled the birth of a divine king in the region of Judea, Anthony noted. In 350 A.D., Pope Julius I declared that the birth of Christ would be celebrated in the month of December to supplant Roman pagan festivals, he added. Anthony also discussed the significance of the gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh given to the Christ child, as well as how holly wreaths are symbols of eternal life. It represents the crown of thorns worn by Jesus at his crucifixion, with the red berries signifying his blood, so in a mystical sense the holly wreath is the gateway to eternal life, he said.

Host: George Noory
Guests: Rosemary Ellen Guiley, Coach Bob
Leading expert on the paranormal, Rosemary Ellen Guiley, discussed her research on angels, holy entities, and interventions into the physical world by the spirit world. "There are beings out there who are available to be intermediaries for us and also to intervene and intercede in our affairs," Guiley said, "and many of them are helpful." She noted that these entities may be called by a variety of names, including angels, spirit guides, teachers, and totemic spirits, but they all seem to serve this same purpose. Over the course of the evening, Guiley also shared her thoughts on spirit communication, interdimensional portals, and 2012.
On the nature of angelic intervention, she put forward the concept that angels are around humans all the time and may even be assigned specific people to oversee and protect. In this scenario, the angel serves as "a battery of energy ready at any time to be called into action." However, Guiley said, the onus of responsibility lies with the human to "initiate this exchange of energy." She theorized that, when in a crisis situation, there may be something in our consciousness which calls out for divine intervention. That said, she mused that it is possible that "on a soul level" we have opted for these difficult experiences, which is why angels do not always intervene to save us.
Regarding miracles, Guiley contrasted the classic interpretation that they are simply a "gift from God" with her own belief that they are actually "a partnership of human consciousness, the divine, and cosmic forces in motion." To that end, she contended that humans have the ability to harness these cosmic forces to manifest miracles. "We are active participants, not passive recipients," she stressed. As such, rather than merely ask for a miracle, Guiley said that people need to ask what actions they need to take to facilitate change that will result in a greater good. "That's the mindset that we need to continue to develop," she mused, if we truly want to make miracles happen.
Less Stress for the Holidays
During the first hour, Coach Bob talked about the nature of stress and how to minimize it during the holiday season. He distilled stress down to the manifestation of our anger and fear - a survival mechanism for our ancient ancestors which now plagues us in modern times. Bob observed that many people will encounter friends or family who are angry, fearful, or full of negative emotions during this time of year. In order to diffuse that energy, he suggested reaching out to them and showing acceptance. If the person snaps at them, Bob said, acknowledge their stress and offer to help. "Be the calm person this holiday season, no matter what," he emphasized, "and you will not believe the wonderful time your going to have."
