Art Bell welcomes futurist Gordon Michael Scallion for his first appearance in over a year, along with open lines and updates on Dannion Brinkley's worsening medical condition. Scallion recounts the traumatic 1979 event that launched his career as a visionary, when he lost his voice during a business presentation and began receiving vivid holographic visions of ancient cities, future catastrophes, and a mysterious female figure who told him he had entered the time stream.

Scallion explains how years of performing thousands of medical-intuitive readings drained his health, forcing him into a year of recovery and the completion of his book, Notes from the Cosmos. He describes his system of seeing three possible futures, with the brightest and most vivid image representing the most probable outcome. Six weeks before this broadcast, however, he saw only one vision remaining for the first time, with the other two possibilities gone entirely.

His trance source revealed that an internal pole shift occurred around mid-July 1997, the third such event since the 1930s. Scallion warns this shift will cause rising ocean temperatures far beyond a normal El Nino, satellite and aircraft electronic failures from magnetic pulses, and the beginning of tectonic disruptions leading into 1998.

Key Moments

  1. Brinkley worsening: new aneurysm, drilled holes not draining: Art delivers a grim update on Dannion Brinkley - a new aneurysm under the brain is putting pressure on his eye, the previously drilled holes are not draining it, and Art reveals Brinkley has recorded a videotaped goodbye in case he doesn't make it.

  2. Scallion: ten of twelve quake scenarios hit, last cycle didn't reach 8.0: Recapping his West Coast prophecy, Scallion confirms ten of twelve predicted earthquake scenarios came to pass, two did not, and the magnitudes on the final cycle stayed in the 6 range instead of exceeding 8 - buying, in his view, more time.

  3. Scallion: timeline moved up to 1998-1999: Scallion says that six weeks earlier his visions narrowed from three probability streams to one, and the major earth-change window moved up substantially - from 2005-2012 into a 1998-1999 12-month period.
