Ball of light approaches campers near 29 Palms and scans caller
A caller on the Wildcard Line tells Art Bell that in March 1993 they and their girlfriend were camping near 29 Palms when they saw distant lights moving south to north. The caller says a basketball-sized ball of light came out of a large craft and approached within about 48 inches. It seemed to scan their brain, then focused on their girlfriend before returning to the craft. The caller reports she was traumatized and spent about eight months in therapy. The call ends with Art Bell’s speculation about downloaded information.
