Art Bell welcomes Major Ed Dames from the Hawaiian Islands, where the former military remote viewer has relocated his company. Dames opens with results from his team's remote viewing of Nostradamus' Century 10, Quatrain 72, which references the seventh month of 1999. Rather than confirming the solar kill shot he previously predicted, Dames reveals his viewers perceived a terrorist biological weapons attack on what appears to be Shea Stadium in New York during a baseball game, carried out by three or four individuals who bring a powdery agent into the venue.

The conversation shifts dramatically when Dames announces his intention to remote view Satan himself, profiling the entity's strategies, operations, and particularly its failures throughout history. Art expresses genuine alarm, warning that such an undertaking risks not just physical danger but the imperiling of one's eternal soul. Dames cites Father Malachi Martin's solitary battle against dark forces as inspiration and frames the project as a necessary intelligence-gathering mission against an adversary that humanity has largely ignored.

Dames also addresses Y2K, stating that his remote viewing teams have not detected it as a significant event, suggesting it will either be minor or preempted by larger catastrophes. He reaffirms his prediction of a North Korean nuclear weapon use and a devastating solar kill shot between 1999 and 2001.

Key Moments

  1. The Northwest obelisk photo was faked: Dames walks through how a widely circulated 'alien' obelisk image was produced: a model lit inside a black shadow box, then double-exposed against a real clearing on the same film. He concludes the accompanying alien shot was a flat-out dummy.

  2. Nostradamus Quatrain X.72 remote-viewed as a man-made event: Dames says Sci-Tech remote-viewed Nostradamus Quatrain Century 10, Quatrain 72 ('the year 1999, seventh month'). To his surprise the result was not the Sun's kill-shot or a North Korean nuke, but a man-made, invisible event perceived as the king of terror.

  3. Biological terror attack on Shea Stadium prediction: Dames says the July 1999 spike Nostradamus saw is a terrorist attack at what looks like Shea Stadium, possibly Yankee Stadium, during a baseball game. Three or four individuals carry in a powdery biological agent and disseminate it inside the stadium.

  4. Y2K does not appear in remote-viewing data: Despite Art Bell's own active Y2K preparations, Dames states that his remote viewers are not picking Y2K up as a global or North American disaster, suggesting it is preempted or overcome by larger events.
