Strieber explains that what the media calls global warming is more accurately described as sudden climate change, the phenomenon they predicted in their co-authored novel Superstorm. He points to January tornadoes in Louisiana, record winds in Montana reaching 167 miles per hour, snowless Alps, and 70-degree temperatures in New Jersey as evidence that weather systems have become chaotic. Strieber reveals that 10 of the 12 great ocean currents driving the Gulf Stream have stopped flowing, with only two remaining active.
The conversation turns to Peruvian glaciers where scientists found temperate plants quick-frozen in under five minutes, still green 5,200 years later, suggesting sudden catastrophic climate shifts have occurred before. Strieber also discusses his personal experiences with the Greys, noting that the encounters stopped when he moved from New York, and considers the possibility that these beings may be visitors from humanity's own future.
Key Moments
Superstorm came true 25 years ahead of schedule: Strieber says he and Bell expected the climate scenarios in their book Superstorm to take 25 years; instead January tornadoes in Louisiana, off-season hurricanes and freak rainfall show 'sudden climate change' is already here.
Ten of twelve Gulf Stream currents have stopped: Strieber claims that of the 12 great warm-water currents that drive the Gulf Stream, only two are still flowing, weakening the system that warms Europe and setting up conditions for sudden, drastic climate flips.
Quick-frozen 5,200-year-old plants under Peruvian glaciers: Strieber describes Bird Polar Research Institute findings of intact, still-green temperate-zone plants flash-frozen beneath Peruvian glaciers 5,200 years ago, evidence of past climate events that froze landscapes in minutes and never thawed.
Supernova shotgun killed 80 million mammoths 13,000 years ago: Strieber recounts research finding tiny iron particles embedded in mammoth tusks and bones, arguing a slower second wave from a 150-light-year supernova hit Earth 13,000 years ago, killed megafauna where they stood and shattered the Laurentian glacier into flying ice that carved the Carolina Bays.
South African UFO crash and the O'Hare incident: Strieber details a January 2007 South African event where a witness saw an orange-tailed object explode into the ground at 4:33 AM, links it to a similar Siberian incident and the laughed-off United Airlines O'Hare sighting, arguing a UFO wave is underway and being suppressed by ridicule.
