The late Dr. Fred Bell was a former NASA engineer and had a doctorate in homeopathic medicine and a master’s degree in physics. In the first two hours, he described his research and experiments with time travel. He claimed that he built a working time machine that allowed him to travel a few milliseconds into the future. Bell said his device was twenty-feet-tall and accelerated energy to a very high degree through two pyramids (one upside-down). Inside the pyramids were large tunnels with Wimshurst machines (electrostatic generators).

Fred Bell had an issue with his local municipality around the device he built – there are no provisions to get a zoning permit for a time machine! After using the machine, weird trees would grow around it, he reported, and the device caused him to space out and act weird after usage. He believes his DNA was affected from working with the machine.

He also addressed the nature of time, and how it differs on the physical plane versus the astral plane, as well as the famed Philadelphia Experiment, which some have said involved time travel. During the latter three hours, callers reacted to Bell's ideas, Art reported on news of the day, and a special hotline for Truckers Only was featured.
