I had a work-study job in college at our small local airport working for the FAA. I mostly clipped new FAA communications into 3-ring binders and tore off expired ticker tape weather reports for a couple of hours a day.
My boss was old school government employee, straight and square. One day we were talking and he handed me a FAA business card with a UFO reporting 800 phone number. Odd I thought, and put it in my wallet.
Years later I lost my wallet in a phone booth (am old). I got a call from someone who found my wallet and wanted to return it. He came over with the wallet which had everything still in it, including cash. The only thing missing was the UFO card. I've never seen another one.
It's pretty wild to listen to old Art Bell (F) episodes from the 90s when he talks about that stuff, especially with the benefit of 30 years' hindsight. You can find old episodes online; it's my go-to when I'm out gardening.
His guests and callers truly were a special breed: they always thought that if they could get these generals and bureaucrats who covered everything up in front of a Congressional inquiry than the Honorable John McCain (they all loved John McCain for some reason, which makes his fall from grace by the hand of Trump all the more impressive) would get them to reveal the truth.
I used to listen to him when I had an overnight security job. I listen to the show on podcast sometimes and have found other paranormal podcasts since I work from home most of the week it’s nice to listen to. But yea it is interesting with the hindsight we have now
