Radar Blip from Beyond: The Roswell Crash
In June 1995, during a *Coast to Coast AM* episode on UFOs, a retired air traffic controller from New Mexico called Art, his voice tense with secrecy. Broadcasting from Pahrump to 15 million listeners, Art was discussing Roswell when the caller, “Frank,” claimed he tracked a 1950s UFO crash near Roswell (33.3943°N, 104.5230°W) on radar.
Around 3:15 AM, a high-pitched whine surged on air, and Frank whispered about a “hum” outside his home. “They erased the logs, Art,” he said, describing jets scrambling post-crash. The line cut with static at 3:20 AM. Art, shaken, tied it to Roswell lore.[1][2]
The 1995 Call: A Signal Erased
The episode aired amid Roswell’s 1995 revival. Frank connected cleanly, recounting a 1957 radar blip moving erratically at 3,000 mph before dropping near Corona. Military jets followed, and records were wiped. During the call, the whine, shrill at 7 kHz—erupted, and Frank reported a low hum outside.
“They’re watching me,” he gasped. Art suggested a cover-up; the line died. The engineer confirmed no studio issues; 200+ listeners reported odd hums that night.[3][4]
The Crash: A Hidden Truth
Frank described the radar blip as a glowing disc, tracked for 10 minutes before crashing. He saw military trucks at the site days later, with debris rumors. The live whine matched UFO audio in MUFON files. Post-call, Frank found a scorched mark on his lawn, unphotographed. Art linked it to 1947 Roswell, suggesting ongoing cover-ups.[2][5]
Aftermath: A Silenced Witness
No follow-up from Frank, but Art received listener reports of 1950s Roswell cover-ups. Audio analysis (1996) showed no tampering. No hoax confession; Art tied it to his 1997 Area 51 calls, warning of surveillance. Listeners reported unease hearing the whine.[1][3]
