One thing I remember about Art Bell that is unlike Noory, he took his guests claims with a grain of salt, often demanding proof even though they were unable to give any. He wasn’t so much a crackpot himself as a skeptic. He just provided the guests and left the conclusions up to the audience.
Oh yes. I should’ve clarified that it’s the George Noory version of Coast to Coast Am which in no way meausred up to Art Bell’s.
I used to have to go to work and leave at 6am and when Art’s show was on, though never intending to, and not being able to tear myself away, listened up to 4 am when he was on Coast to Coasts. What great shows those things were.
Art was great. His desire for proof in UFO’s was in ernest but he did not just believe because someone made claims. He wanted to really know.
