In his childhood, John Shepherd was fascinated by movies like The Day The Earth Stood Still and TV shows like The Outer Limits, which he said had his "imagination going like crazy." When he was around 11 years old, there were UFO sightings being regularly reported in the news. One night, he recalled "a star moving across the sky, very bright and rather slowly." It stopped and a "speck of light" descended from it and was lost from view. He later talked to a woman who saw the event as well. This inspired Shepherd to build an extensive radio transmitter in his grandparents' home, which eventually took up most of the house, in an attempt to contact alien life. Shepherd built much of the equipment himself, starting with scavenging parts, and used industrial-grade components for the rest. He claimed that UFOs appeared to be attracted to his broadcasting setup at least once in the early 1970s. Shepherd answered listener questions before signing off.
Art then gave an update on "Mel" of Mel's Hole fame, who said he was moving to Australia and selling his property. Art read a message from Mel in full, including the legal arrangements. He also read a news item about the previous owner of the land and his issues with the supposed hole on the property. He also found that owners going back to at least the 1920s also had issues with the bottomless hole, then known as the "Tacoma Mystery Hole." Art read messages and news about other mysterious bottomless holes around the world.
The remainder of the program was News and Open Lines.
