"I, I don't have a whole lot of time.
Um, OK, I'm a former employee of Area 51.
I, I was let go on a medical discharge about a week ago and, and
[chokes] I've kind of been running across the country.
Damn, I don't know where to start, they're,
They're gonna, um, they'll triangulate on this position really soon.

OK, um, um, OK,
What we're thinking of as, as aliens,
They're extradimensional beings,
That, an earlier precursor of the, um, space program they made contact with.
They are not what they claim to be.
Uh, they've infiltrated a, a lot of aspects of, of, of the military establishment,
Particularly the Area 51.

The disasters that are coming, they, the military,
I'm sorry, the government knows about them.
And there's a lot of safe areas in this world that they could begin moving
The population to now. They are not!
They want those major population centers wiped out so that the few
That are left will be more easily controllable."

    General Comment:Ive listened to the original version, and the call back to say it was fake. However the voices seem a little bit off, they are very similair tho. The striking thing about the who call is that he seems to have genuine fear in his voice. I don't know if tool thinks this call is real or if they are trying to show how easy it is to fool someone.

    General Comment:Did anyone just stop to think that maybe Tool is trying to screw with everyone's head? I mean if they are, they're doing a damn good job.

    General Comment:I Had this dream last night when Kari and us were listening to this song but when it ends, Kari suddenly screamed "NO" right at the top of her lungs and just breathed hard. I'm talking about being terrified. NEVER LISTEN TO THIS SONG AT ONE A.M.

    General Comment:"they'll triangulate on this position really really soon." At the very end, the transmission was lost. "This position" could be where the guy was who was calling. He could have been abducted by aliens. Just a thought.

    General Comment:I think this goes so smooth into Vicarious from 10,000 days it is crazy...I wonder if they meant for this to be like this.

    Part of me suspects they did this on purpose are calling the Art Bell stuff a bit of BS ...if you look at the meaning of Vicarious.
