Mel: Ok, well so, we ve been here several years we just take all of our trash rubbish there - anything we have we have to get rid of we take it and just throw in the hole there, everyone s throwing there stuff in the hole.
The people from around there throw all the stuff in the hole.
I mean its just been going on for a long time well, and I got to thinking one day how come this hole is not filling up? It must be an awfully deep hole!

Art: Its a good thing to consider sure, as you throw stuff it it for decades literally.

Mel: And so, I used to be pretty close to a professional shark fisherman so I had a couple of huge fishing reels, went out there and started letting the line down I figured after one...

Art: Did you weight the line?

Mel: Oh yea, there s... in fact the original line is still down there, I ve just been adding to the line and keeping track of how much line I have used. So I ve not reeled it in uh..

Art: How much weight is on it?

Mel: There is a one pound weight at the bottom of it.

Art: One pound weight.

Mel: One pound weight, Its a triangular one pound weight.

Art: OK

Mel: Uh, and so that s at the bottom of it at first...

Art: So in other words it would go down kind of like a plumb bob?

Mel: Exactly, exactly in fact I have it rigged across the center of it there and it goes straight down from the center there. And occasionally I try to move the line there but when you are moving that much line you really can t do a whole lot with it. But it seems to be.. its not resting against anything at this point here and it continues to go down freely. And so when I was out there earlier I let out a little bit more line.

Art: So you actually went out there tonight after I read this

Mel: Yes, exactly. Well its not too bad out here right now its only oh.. 25 degrees so its not too cold.

I'm not a huge fan of that thread theme. May we possibly switch it for this one, sir?

Rabbit in the Moon.
The moon as a destination for souls is old as the hills, user.

Art: Have you ever heard anything coming from..any sounds or anything?

Mel: Well I mean the normal thing to do is kinda like yell into it there to see and echo and I ve never heard an echo come out of that thing.

Art: No echo?

Mel: At all and its one the first things I noticed about it. As usual I brought the dogs with me
they wouldn t go anywhere near the damned thing and they went back to the Suburban and hung out over there so... (laugh) it was kinda of uh, I can t...you know if I try to bring them there on a leash they ll just dig their feet in - they do not want to go anywhere near the hole...and so that..I just don t know. Its just...

Art: Well you know you ve got miles and mile of...

Mel: Yeh, I think... Well I m measuring it by feet, I convert feet to yards so I don t know how many miles that is. I m assuming its a fair number of miles though.

Art: Well 5, 280 feet is a mile so...You really think you got 80 thousand?

Mel: Yeh, I get line in 5,000 yard spools and so I ve gone through that many.

Art: Well you ve got a hole then that goes... well you can t say the center of the earth
but you ve got a hole that goes miles and miles into the earth, I would think the University would be out there boom just like that!

Mel: Well my wife does work for a local University here and we ve been talking to them about it and one of the things is uh (laugh) they find it quite incredible that I ve let that much line into the ground but uh that s what I ve been doing.

Art: Have you ever thought of winding it all back up again?

Mel: Well when I let out the first fifteen hundred yards of line I reeled all of that back in and I wanted to know if I had hit water down there because I thought that is alot of feet.

Art: You bet.

Mel: That s forty five hundred feet of line - did I hit water? So I did, what I did was I sent down a roll of lifesavers.

Art: Lifesavers?

Mel: Yeh, so when it hits the water the lifesavers will dissolve.

Art: That..oh I see...very smart!

Mel: Its an old shark fisherman s trick there, we used to send our bait out on a balloon
attached to a roll of lifesavers and the bait would go out into the ocean on a tide. And then eventually the lifesavers would melt and the shar...the bait would fall to the bottom. You know you couldn t cast a big ol mackeral out there that far so...

Art: So thats amazing...so what do you... you got any guesses?

Mel: I...I have no idea, I thought it could have been a mind shaft but the thing about it is the surface part of it has been has been very well cared for. I mean someone has built a very lovely wall around it and uh...

Art: All right, Tell me about the nature of the side of the walls. In other words you must be able to look down far enough at least to examine the side of the walls?

Mel: Sure, its stone for at about fifteen feet down.

Art: Yeh?

Mel: And after that you know its soil, dirt and then further down rock. So, but I can only see to the extent of a really powerful flashlight. I brought Halogen lights out there to try to get a better look down there but the visibility really isn t there, you cannot see much after awhile. But its a retaining wall, its about a three, three and half foot retaining wall and it goes down about fifteen feet and then its a..

Art: Well I ll tell you this much, no matter how powerful a light and I was even thinking about a laser when you are talking about 80 thousand feet, forget it!

Mel: No they should have some technology that can give me an idea of how deep this thing is. I mean obviously, the (laugh) old fishing line method is only going to go so far.

Art: Well what we need here is a volunteer.

Mel: (laugh)

Art: Really, I m serious someone who would be willing to be lowered into this hole.

Mel: Well to be honest with you I don t know if there is any air down that far. I mean...

Art: Well I wouldn t know about that either or its true..

Mel: ...what kind of pressure we are dealing with these are things that are totally beyond my grasp in terms of you know knowledge about these things but ah...

Art: Do you own this property?

Mel: Its our property, yea.

Art: How long have you been working on this.?

Mel: Well we ve been out there for a couple of years - about four years now but this project of letting down the line thats only been since last summer here - Its been, well I said how come this thing isn t filling up?

Art: Well sure!

Mel: You know and I made, well I talked to the neighbors which are. ..You know when you are out there in the country your neighbors are pretty much far away but they all know about the hole out there..

Art: They all know about it so its like...

Mel: Yeh, because they all bring their trash out there!

Art: So the local legend of the hole.

Mel: Yeh, this could be an apocryphal story but one guy claims he threw his departed canine down into the hole
Art: Oh really?

Mel: ...and he swears.. well, the story is the guy that did it swears the dog actually came back to him. and

Art: Oh really!?

Mel: The story is that he was a hunter and he was out there hunting and he saw the same dog, he had the same collar, he had the same little metal thing on his collar there and he said it was the same dog and he says he knew he had threw the dog into the hole... now thats...
now that s not my dog!

Art: Its not your story but its a story of a resurrected dog.

Mel: Now as you can imagine this is all Native American land around here and so one of the line of inquiries d like to make is there anything about this hole in regards to the Native Americans .. that is something I haven t really pursued right now but..

Art: If you had a fatal disease Mel?

Mel: yea?

Art: ...would you jump into the hole?

Mel: I would.

Art: You would? Just based on the dog story?

Mel: It is in my will..

Art: What?!

Mel: ..that if I meet my demise..

Art: That you would be thrown in the hole?

Mel: ...that I would be disposed of into the well.

Art: I m not sure the health department would allow that.

Mel: Well, one of the things that we.. you know I thought about later on is that what if this is contaminating our water you know? And uh, you know we ve had... I m sure you do this out there in Pahrump too is get your water checked all the time.

Art: Well no personal offense to you Mel but if there was a possible contamination problem, I m sure your a clean guy but as you deteriorated, you would possibly produce e-coli or something horrible in the local water supply...if you were resurrected

Mel: Well, again so far it hasn t...we but the water in that area is absolutely pure water. It is a...

Art: ...and so nothing thrown down all the old junk add trash, nothing has polluted the water?

Mel: No, I mean I can t speak for everything that has been thrown down there but none of that has been showing up in the water that people draw up from their wells, the waters has been clean as its ever been out there. I mean we get water that comes off the Cascades or something - its really wonderful water.

Art: Mel, Mel, you wouldn t be pulling my leg?

Mel: No, I m not and uh, I m a...one of the reason went out to the property tonight other than its just been weighing on my mind heavily, I was afraid that after I sent the fax out that there would be people around there because its ah...

Art: Well there may be but we haven t identified specifically where it is
Mel: Well, Art as far as I can tell too many big holes like that (laugh) around and so it leaves the people in my neck of the woods are familiar with it and I kinda of almost expecting to see a small party of people

Now that’s fucking nuts. You got anything that elaborates on that idea? In that interview John Lear sounded like he was serious as a heart attack. Being the son of one of the men heavily involved in post war aviation id imagine he was privy to some crazy dinner conversations.

Hey Art, ever notice how Jews are behind everything ba-
Fuck sake got cut off.

Yes. I did not come up with the theory or anything like that. But, I must warn you. Only the most schizo of schizo's would be willing to trust the source.
