Art Bell speaks with a caller identifying himself as Single Seven, a self-described time traveler from the year 2063 whose real name is Jonathan. He claims to be a paleo agriculture technician sent back to collect ancient heat-resistant seeds for hybridization in a future ravaged by deliberately accelerated global warming.

Jonathan describes a covert war between humanity and an alien species called the MIM, known in the present as the Greys. According to him, time-traveling weather teams are using satellite-directed EMP pulses to trigger volcanism and warm the planet by 15 degrees to make Earth uninhabitable for the cold-dependent MIM. He says the recent Papua New Guinea tsunami opened his eyes to the human cost of this mission, turning him into a rogue operative hunted by both his own people and the aliens.

Listeners call in with questions about crop circles, religion in 2063, and the weaknesses of the MIM. Jonathan says Christianity was diminished after inscriptions on the Ark of the Covenant were traced to earlier mythologies. He urges listeners to search for the satellites controlling the weather modification and warns that humanity has other options for fighting this war without sacrificing millions of lives in the past.

Key Moments

  1. Single Seven introduces himself as a hunted paleo-ag tech: A caller calling himself Single Seven says he is in grave danger from his own Trav-T travel group and from the alien MIM, and that he ditched his homing device.

  2. Mission from 2063: heat-resistant ancient seeds: Single Seven, calling himself Jonathan, explains he is a paleo-agriculture tech sent from 2063 to gather heat-tolerant ancestral crop seeds because the future is deliberately warming Earth to drive out the MIM (Greys).

  3. How the climate is being weaponized: Single Seven says EMP/microwave pulses on tectonic faults are being used to trigger volcanism and warm ocean temperatures, claiming the recent Papua New Guinea tsunami was a side effect.

  4. Y2K dismissed as a 'mock depression': Asked what history records about Y2K, Single Seven says it was remembered as a panic-driven 'mock depression' - runs on banks and suicide cults rather than a technical collapse.
