Summary
This episode of Conspirituality examines the infamous 1997 Coast to Coast AM broadcast where a caller claimed to be a former Area 51 employee warning of interdimensional aliens.

The discussion traces the lineage of such claims from the 1980s through the 90s, comparing Bell’s platform to Oprah Winfrey’s influence on modern spirituality and politics.
