From the Southeast Asian capital city of the Philippine Islands, 7,107 islands, I think it is, Manila in the Philippines.

I'm Art Bell, and this is coast-to-coast AM.

It is my honor.

Indeed, my privilege to be escorting you through the weekend, ladies and gentlemen.

And an interesting weekend, it's going to be, as a matter of fact, in the next hour,

we're going to be speaking with Simeon Hine, who is a crop circle expert.

And I guess he got his expertise, together with Scott Flansberg.

We've interviewed Scott before.

Scott is the human calculator.

And I guess there's a numerical value to crop circles,

and we put that together with the human calculator,

and I think they came up with some extremely interesting, confusing results.

But I wanted to begin the program right now with something a little bit different.

And I tried to do this last week, and it didn't work out because I didn't have my wife's

microphone open. But if you'll go to the coast-to-coastam.com website right now on the front page,

there is a photograph of a creature. Now, that's a creature

here in the Philippines. I have no idea what this particular photograph is of, but it is

damn well big. It really is big. Whatever this is gigantic. I mean, if you compare it to the

homes, the huts there, and and the trees and you realize the distance, uh, at which we're seeing this object as compared to those objects, it's obvious. This thing is monstrous. I have no idea what it is. But here's what I do know. Um, about, I don't know, two weeks ago, I guess, my wife and I were talking. We had a long

talk, sat in the living room and had a long talk, and we were talking about myths and things,

and she started telling me about this creature called an Aswan, Asong. I think that's it. Is that correct?

Yes, Aswang.
