Ha! Great story. I mean how is it possible that you lied when you didn't have any financial gain--is an argument that UFO people use to "validate" supposed witnesses.
I guess with Internet there is more skepticism when it comes to paranormal stuff because you can put your beliefs to the test and you have to be really persistent (crazy) to believe in flying saucers, Bermuda Triangle, Loch Ness monster etc.
I mean I remember hearing Kevin Smith once said how he used to watch those stupid documentaries on cable and actually believed them that there is Loch Ness monster, but with the coming of the internet he just debunks those things.
That's how it is with Bell: he gave voice to UFO people and after many years of people trying to find something they just stayed where they were in the first place: nobody has any credible evidence or knows anything about supposed aliens or what is living in Loch Ness and so on.
But also Bell interviewed scientists who actually value his gift for making interesting conversations.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
