Art Bell welcomes Major Ed Dames, the retired military intelligence officer and remote viewing instructor known as Dr. Doom, who arrives with several predictions and a disturbing analysis of electronic voice phenomena. Ed claims a hit on his prediction of a major Indonesian earthquake and presents a new forecast: a massive volcanic eruption at Mount Tarawera on New Zealand's North Island, which he projects for November 2005, potentially more violent than Pinatubo.

Ed shares deeply unsettling remote viewing findings about a child's voice captured during the previous week's EVP broadcast from a mental hospital. He concludes that the voice does not belong to a ghost or a child at all, but rather to a fetus during an abortion procedure, a finding he describes as throwing everything he understood about reality into question. Art and Ed grapple with how a fetus could communicate English words electromagnetically across time.

The discussion turns to Ed's longstanding predictions about a nuclear weapon being used on the Korean Peninsula and his "kill shot" solar flare scenario. He states that when the space shuttle is forced down by a meteor shower, it will signal the beginning of catastrophic solar events. Ed also reveals that a classified 1981 government project attempted to use EVP for intelligence purposes, hinting that officials sought to communicate with deceased foreign leaders.

Key Moments

  1. On-air prediction: Mt. Tarawera eruption, November 2005: Dames pinpoints a violent volcanic eruption at Mt. Tarawera on New Zealand's North Island in November 2005, which he claims will be more violent than Pinatubo and could be deadly to locals.

  2. Next nuclear weapon use: Korean Peninsula: Dames reaffirms his standing prediction that the next use of a nuclear weapon will occur on the Korean Peninsula, says new techniques will let his viewers tag a date within a month, and promises to call Art personally if it precedes the next geophysical event.

  3. Classified U.S. EVP project from 1981: Dames says he tangentially integrated EVP into a classified Cold War project in 1981, can't even mention the topic, and hints that the U.S. wanted to talk to dead figures like KGB chief Andropov.

  4. Non-ionizing RF as a covert weapon: Dames describes a classified non-ionizing electromagnetic weapon program: pointing a low-power RF device at a target, modulated to sync with the nervous system, can drop a person without their knowing what hit them.

  5. Beginning of the end: Nov-Dec 2005 meteor shower: Dames says the kill shot sequence begins around November or December 2005 with a meteor shower that forces the space shuttle down and eventually brings the International Space Station down too.
