Art Bell presents a packed evening beginning with Whitley Strieber and Mexican journalist Jaime Maussan reporting on the catastrophic wildfires engulfing Mexico and Central America. Maussan describes the worst environmental crisis in Mexican history, with smoke reaching from Albuquerque to Miami, underground fires burning invisibly beneath the surface, and volcanic activity intensifying at Popocatepetl. He draws connections between the volcano's location and persistent UFO sightings along Mexico's neo-volcanic axis.

Dr. Roger Leir, Derrel Sims, and an anonymous general-class military officer known as General A then join the broadcast. They describe witnessing a brilliant golden object traverse the sky near the Rocketdyne facility on October 3, 1996. General A recounts returning to the site with military credentials and encountering elite special services personnel guarding a charred, intensely hot hillside. He reports being told a nuclear-powered craft had landed for repairs and departed.

Multiple callers and fax reports corroborate the sighting from locations across the San Fernando Valley. General A states he received clearance to share these details publicly, suggesting a possible gradual disclosure effort. The Galaxy 4 satellite failure is also reported during the broadcast.
