Art Bell continues the second night of listener predictions for 2008 on New Year"s Eve. He corrects two entries from the 2007 review, upgrading a bonk on a serial killer being found after a 63-year-old man confessed to murders from the late 1970s. The remaining 2007 predictions fare poorly, with bonks for the rebuilding of Solomon"s Temple, CERN creating a black hole, and crop circles on the White House lawn.
Callers phone in with predictions ranging from the geopolitical to the deeply personal. One foresees the U.S. and China going to war, while another predicts Pakistan will temporarily lose a nuclear submarine. A woman from Denver hears a disembodied voice telling her a major medical cure will be found. Other forecasts include Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon and passing it to a terrorist group, massive crop circle activity across Canada, and a 9.0 earthquake in Northern California.
Between calls, Art reflects on why negative predictions so heavily outnumber positive ones, noting it mirrors the way bad dreams linger longer than good ones. He shares updates on his seven-month-old daughter Asia and rings in the New Year from the high desert as the celebration sweeps westward across the time zones.
