Art Bell interviews Dick Criswell, a lifelong UFO researcher whose first encounter with Grey aliens occurred at age six on a farm in Wheeling, West Virginia. Criswell describes how two three-and-a-half-foot beings communicated telepathically, passing through walls effortlessly and telling him he would one day serve as their emissary. The visits continued through his teenage years, growing more frequent over time, and his parents eventually revealed their own encounters, including his father witnessing a craft so massive it blacked out the sky and streetlights.

Criswell also discusses his involvement with AlphaCom, a project organized by Dr. Michael Wolfe to bring government UFO knowledge to the public. The effort collapsed when the Monica Lewinsky scandal consumed the Clinton administration, making officials reluctant to step forward. He says the witnesses remain available but are bound by secrecy agreements. Criswell shares the aliens warning about coming Earth changes, though specific timelines have proven elusive.

The first hour features open lines with follow-up reports from the intent experiment, shadow people accounts, and a caller near Ground Zero who recalls hearing news coverage of Building Seven being deliberately demolished for structural safety reasons. Art also mentions his cameo appearance in an upcoming Lindsay Lohan film.
