The Western Libraries at Western Washington University is reporting that an upcoming episode of Anthony Bourdain’s "No Reservations” show on the Travel Channel will incorporate a clip from one of the historic KVOS films housed at WWU’s Center for Pacific Northwest Studies. The show, which focuses on the U.S. desert, is expected to air on Monday, Aug. 8.

According to the Western Libraries:

The clip is drawn from Vancouver newsman Jack Webster’s 1964 interview with George Van Tassel, a California businessman who claimed to have been visited by aliens on flying saucers. During the interview, Van Tassel discusses his experiences and the formula for time travel taught to him by the visiting aliens.
