Description: Art Bell interviews rock legend Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad and retired Command Sgt. Major Robert O. Dean in two distinct segments. Farner reflects on the music industry's shift from personal radio to corporate programming and discusses how lyrics shape culture. He shares a 1968 UFO sighting involving a 200-foot disc hovering 100 yards from his family's Michigan farmhouse, corroborated by multiple witnesses including a neighbor who independently saw the same craft.Robert Dean, who held Cosmic Top Secret clearance at NATO headquarters in the 1960s, describes reading a classified three-year study concluding that Earth has been under extraterrestrial observation for millennia. He names specific underground alien installations identified through remote viewing and argues that one species had a direct role in genetically creating humanity. Dean explains that theological implications remain the primary barrier to government disclosure, as revealing humanity's hybrid origins would destabilize every major religion.Dean reveals he has stopped publicly advocating for disclosure, concluding that the world is not ready. He now practices remote viewing and has become convinced of the immortality of the human soul through personal near-death experiences. Both guests independently affirm their belief that government insiders possess conclusive evidence of extraterrestrial contact.
