Best of Early Coast

About the show

This special broadcast features a compendium of some of the greatest moments and interviews of early Coast shows. In one of the first Mel Waters interviews about the infamous "Mel's Hole," he described people throwing trash in an apparently bottomless hole for "years" before Waters tried to send a weighted fishing line down the hole but couldn't find the bottom, even at 80,000 feet.

Next, a man claimed to be in an experimental private airplane flying into Area 51. The pilot described what he saw as he approached the prohibited airspace. Finally, as the man observed "some sort of rail gun" coming out of the ground, the transmission ended.

The next clip featured Dan D. Doty from Arnold, Missouri, describing how he went out looking for Bigfoot, who had been reported in the area. He observed one of the creatures with a flashlight and claimed to have taken a photo. Then, "Bugs, the Bigfoot Hunter" recalled witnessing two 7-8 ft. tall creatures, covered in reddish brown hair, which he and two companions shot at numerous times, thinking they were bears. After the creatures were killed, they discovered they had shot one female and one male.

Hector Armstrong shared his research on the Chupacabras. He said the head looked like "a grey alien" with a "kangaroo-like body" and "spines down its back." He regarded the creature as "not native to this Earth."

Art then spoke with former Air Force missile launch officer Robert Salas, who described a UFO encounter case involving a large, glowing UFO which hovered over a nuclear missile silo, and Bob Kaminski from Boeing described the team he sent to investigate the shutdown. He indicated that it was "virtually impossible" for five missile sites to become inoperable at once. The rest of the program consisted of recent news.
