Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center presented new cases and witnesses during the first half of Friday's show. A truck driver named Ken described driving his 18-wheeler directly under a UFO near Council Bluffs, Iowa on 8/19/03. The hovering object contained an array of large disc-like lights on its underside and seemed to be trailing just slightly ahead of his truck, Ken said. Because it was moving at a relatively slow speed "clearly it's not an aerodynamic device," Davenport commented, indicating some other process was keeping the craft in the air.
"Susan," a high-school principal, Davenport's second guest, related a dramatic sighting from her bedroom window overlooking Lake Washington that occurred on 9/18/03. Alerted by a swishing sound coming from the southern end of the lake, she witnessed a large soundless orb, "pinkish red in color," that was about 2/3 the size of the moon and moving in a horizontal pattern over the lake. Its illumination had "an almost fluorescent quality," she said, and curiously the orb appeared to be composed of smaller orbs.
Open Lines
Gearing up for Halloween, Friday's Special Topic line was reserved for tales of the "scariest thing that ever happened to you." Responses included a woman who described attending her own exorcism, and a man who was sleeping on the floor of a classroom and heard something trying to come through the door that released a "bone chilling scream." Later a woman from Ohio shared her experience of living in a house with four separate spirit entities. Towards the end of the show, a caller described finding a "hitchhiker" spirit in their car, after they visited a haunted house.
