Podcast: The Art Bell ArchivePublished On: Sat Jan 03 2026
Description: Art Bell returns to the air from Manila during Typhoon Glenda, covering the Israel-Hezbollah conflict before welcoming James Gilliland, director of the Self-Mastery Earth Institute. Gilliland describes his near-death experience from a drowning accident, during which he passed through multiple dimensional levels and conversed with a being of light. He explains that this experience activated lifelong contact with extraterrestrial intelligences occurring since childhood.Gilliland reports that craft are appearing over his ranch during the broadcast, with witnesses observing ships that power up, respond to laser signals, and perform maneuvers impossible for conventional aircraft. Art speaks directly with witnesses on site, including a man with an aviation background who confirms seeing objects accelerate and make hard turns at extreme speeds. Another witness describes a seven-pointed craft that hovered and approached the group before departing at a right angle.The discussion covers Gilliland contact with beings he identifies by name, including a Pleiadian called LaGee. He addresses the SETI controversy sparked by Stephen Greer claims that the institute has received confirmed extraterrestrial signals. Gilliland argues that extraterrestrial intelligence views crop circles and direct contact as measures of human consciousness evolution, and that official disclosure remains blocked by national security constraints.
