Secret Space Program: Insider 1997
Apr 19, 202000:30:51Tap to summarizeBob McCarty purchased a riding lawnmower in 1995 in Austin from my ex-wife at SEARS and struck up an interesting conversation with her claiming she was of Martian ancestry and went on to tell her about the Galaxy's political challenges....she said my husband would be interested in talking to you about this information and he gave her a card with his name and # from the San Marcos/ Wimberley area with the title DARE CORP. D.A.R.E. was an acronym for something i don't remember now. But he and I began a 3-5 year relationship over the phone talking about inside information that he was still privy to in the Aerospace industry. Bob claimed to have worked on the Apollo Missions to the moon designing flight systems and navigation hardware for TRW. He also said he worked for other contractors....... During 1997-98 I worked for a radio station in Weslaco TX as a phone salesman and I had the gear to record the calls as training and accountability to my sales manager. Well I entered Bobs Company name into the computer and would dial the # often with the computer and record these fascinating tales of the the Governments Secret Space Programs. Its amazing now when i hear the other whistle blowers in 2016-2020 talking about the things Bob McCarty used to tell me back in 1996! I had held on to 2 BOB tapes that were over 4 hours of conversations with him talking to me.......Sadly i just found out this week that some of these conversations had been recorded over ..... It appears someone recorded an ALICE IN CHAINS CD to one of my BOB Tape in or around 2005. I know who this was now... But what You hear above is the few minutes remaining of many many hours of talks with UFO BOB . In 2010 when I myself would be living in Wimberley and San Marcos I hosted the WEIRD SHOW on SMTX.tv and many of my guest were UFO related Giorgio Tsoukulous of Ancient Aliens, Jim Marrs, Stanton Friedman, Nick Redfern, Tim Schwartz, Heidi Hollis and many others . .. however the local folk of San Marcos would tell me that I reminded them of UFO Bob, an old Hermit that lived near Wimberley at the Junction of HWY 32 & 12. UFO Bob would tell locals many stories about the Secret Government at several local Coffee Shops and was a local insider on UFO topics. I have no doubt that this was my pen pal via the phone line Bob McCarty. I never met Bob in person but he gave me a ton of information as a young researcher into the UFO studies when i was only in my early 20s at the time. Enjoy this small clip of my friend "UFO BOB" I hope to find more of these tapes in my SETLAB shows box that I haven't located yet.

Alien Abductions: Texas Wind
Apr 12, 202000:26:01Tap to summarizeThis show was dedicated to my friend Constance Clear, a psychiatrist whose work in the Alien Abduction phenomena in San Antonio had introduced me to the guest Texas Wind an Alias name she used for this episode. Constance who authored the book Reaching for Reality was close to Whitley and Anne Strieber of Communion in San Antonio. Constance had recently past away tragically in a motorcycle (3 wheeler) accident she sadly happened upon while in Arizona working on a new book about the HOPI Indians. This was in 2003 only a few weeks after her passing . My Radio friend hosted Clear Talk with Constance Clear on KENS/ WOAI AM 1200. I'm still doing radio CC. Miss You, Russell 4/11/20

KOOP Evening News: Interns
Apr 11, 202000:23:25Tap to summarizeRussell hosts the KOOP Evening News this Thursday and the station had a few High School students from the Austin area come in and intern for their future RTF classes the following fall. The boys did good . This weeks show was the summer of 2003 and announced ground breaking technology changes from Japans cellular phone industry at the time. Amazing what we can do with these phones now 17 years later in 2020.

KOOP SETLAB Clips
Apr 7, 202000:24:08Tap to summarizeHosting for KOOP 91.7 FM Station Manager Angela Keaton and her show the Liberated Space, Russell plays clips of his old SETLAB radio shows with Sonny Salas at 88.1 KMBH in Harlingen TX. These clips feature Courtney Brown talking about the Greys, Martians, and the Draco -Reptilian group all these years later we are still talking about. Ken Eagle Feather is also profiled espousing an interesting theory of his on the reason for ANAL Probes. The SETLAB Clips are from 1999 and the entire show was from the summer of 2003. So its very odd for me uploading these in April of 2020. Proof my weird ass has been in the space of alien investigations for more than 20 years. Will we ever get DISCLOSURE? Enjoy. Russell

KOOP Weird News
Apr 6, 202000:22:13Tap to summarizeRussell in 2003 would often fill in for Station Manager Angela Keaton at KOOP 91.7 FM Community Radio here in Austin. Actually I used to host the Thursday edition of the KOOP Evening News at 5:30pm and then Angela would let me fill in for her on her show The Liberated Space at 6:30pm. This particular show had the NORML girl on the show with Ron Anderson a loyal advertiser of The Austin Para Times & owner of FLASHBACK a cool thrift store on the corner of Oltorf and South Lamar. This week i pulled some weird News Stories and Sam performed live in the studio with his guitar. While this was not a WEIRD RADIO episode it certainly was the beginning of what would later be Weird Radio only this is before in 2003. We return all of us a Half Hour later and torture Austin listeners for another half hour on The Liberated Space. That show is up next. Russell 4-5-20
