Art Bell assembles a landmark panel of seven researchers and figures for a night centered on one word: Disclosure. Washington UFO lobbyist Stephen Bassett serves as the thread connecting each segment, while Richard C. Hoagland opens the broadcast discussing Webster Hubbell's reported admission that he was tasked by President Clinton to investigate UFOs and that he could not find answers within the government.Dr. Steven M. Greer of CSETI outlines his efforts to bring military and intelligence witnesses forward to testify about extraterrestrial contact. Apollo 14 astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell speaks candidly about the convergence of evidence suggesting the UFO phenomenon is real. Attorney Peter Gersten discusses legal actions on behalf of Area 51 workers exposed to toxic materials. Robert O. Dean, a retired command sergeant major, describes a NATO document he encountered that cataloged extraterrestrial involvement with Earth. Author Jim Marrs adds historical and journalistic context to the cover-up narrative.The guests urge listeners to contact their congressional representatives and the White House before the upcoming State of the Union address, framing the broadcast as a coordinated push for government transparency on the UFO question.

January 6, 1998: Dispelling the Myth of Evolution - Dr. Kent Hovind

Jan 62h 5mDr. Kent Hovind

Art Bell welcomes Dr. Kent Hovind, a former high school science teacher turned traveling creationist debater from Pensacola, Florida, for a provocative discussion challenging the theory of evolution. Hovind argues that the Earth is approximately 6,000 years old, that dinosaurs coexisted with humans, and that the fossil record has been fundamentally misinterpreted by mainstream science. He offers a standing $250,000 challenge to anyone who can provide empirical evidence for evolution.Hovind walks through his critiques of carbon dating methods, the Big Bang theory, and common textbook claims about transitional fossils. He proposes that pre-flood atmospheric conditions, including a water vapor canopy and higher oxygen levels, allowed humans and animals to grow much larger and live far longer than they do today. Art presses him on the age of the Great Pyramid and the logistics of Noah's Ark, leading to exchanges about ancient engineering and magnetic field mysteries.Listener calls bring sharp challenges from scientists and skeptics alongside supportive voices from fellow creationists. The conversation touches on everything from the origins of the Grand Canyon to the possibility of living dinosaurs in remote jungles. Art maintains his characteristic neutrality throughout, allowing the audience to weigh the arguments for themselves.

January 7, 1998: Stargate International - Robert O. Dean

Jan 72h 24mRobert O. Dean

Art Bell welcomes retired Command Sergeant Major Robert O. Dean, president of Stargate International, for his first appearance on the program. Dean describes his 27 years in the U.S. Army, including his assignment to NATO's Supreme Headquarters war room in the 1960s, where he held a Cosmic Top Secret clearance and gained access to a classified study concluding that Earth has been visited by multiple extraterrestrial groups.The conversation covers the potential dangers of military elements shooting at UFOs, the implications of a secret policy-making group operating beyond presidential and congressional oversight, and the billions spent annually in unaccounted black budget programs. Dean shares his conviction that abductions are real, that humanity may be a genetically seeded species, and that major world religions contain encoded references to extraterrestrial contact.Dean also discusses the abduction crisis hotline he operates through Stargate International and his belief that public education and disclosure through constitutional channels remain essential. He argues that the truth about contact, while initially destabilizing, poses less danger to civilization than the continued cover-up.

#0366

January 12, 1998: The War on Drugs - Peter Gorman

Jan 122h 55mPeter Gorman

Art Bell speaks with Peter Gorman, editor-in-chief of High Times Magazine, about the failed war on drugs, the counterculture legacy, and his extensive fieldwork in the Amazon. Gorman argues that mandatory minimum sentences for marijuana possession have filled American prisons with nonviolent offenders while violent criminals are released early. He reveals that the DEA has recently acknowledged it lacks scientific grounds to classify marijuana as a Schedule I substance, a development he calls a potential turning point in federal drug policy.The discussion broadens to the collapsing price of street cocaine, the corruption fueling international drug trafficking, and the medical community's fear of prescribing adequate pain medication due to DEA surveillance. Gorman also describes his discovery of a bioactive frog secretion used by the Matses Indians of Peru, a substance containing a naturally occurring opioid now drawing pharmaceutical interest for its potential as a non-addictive painkiller.Callers raise questions about cannabis buyers clubs, hallucinogen safety, and the political obstacles to reform. Gorman maintains that existing criminal laws already cover harmful behavior, making drug-specific penalties redundant and counterproductive.

#0367

January 13, 1998: Phoenix Lights - Stephen Bassett & Frances Barwood | Trends Research - Gerald Celente

Jan 1343mStephen Bassett, Frances Barwood, Gerald Celente

Art Bell broadcasts while battling a returning flu, joined by former Phoenix City Councilwoman Frances Barwood and political activist Stephen Bassett. Barwood announces her candidacy for Arizona Secretary of State, making her one of the first major-party candidates to run on a platform demanding government transparency about unexplained aerial phenomena, particularly the massive craft witnessed over Phoenix on March 13, 1997.Bassett, serving as co-campaign manager, describes the press conference as a success, with extensive local media coverage and strong support from both UFO researchers and constitutionalist groups. The conversation touches on suspicious phone line tampering at Barwood's home and the intense political pressure she faces from established Republican opponents. Art also speaks briefly with Norio Hayakawa about a planned peaceful gathering at the Area 51 boundary on June 6, 1998.The second half features trend forecaster Gerald Celente, who warns of a coming global currency meltdown, immune system breakdown from environmental pollution, increasing cult activity as the millennium approaches, and the threat of nuclear terrorism. He predicts breakthroughs in cold fusion and zero-point energy within years.

#0368

January 14, 1998: Ancient Egypt - Dr. Zahi Hawass

Jan 141h 24mDr. Zahi Hawass

Art Bell interviews Dr. Zahi Hawass, Director of Antiquities at Giza, despite suffering from a 102-degree fever. Dr. Hawass discusses the recently completed restoration of the Sphinx, the planned six-month closure of the Great Pyramid for conservation work, and the discovery of tombs belonging to the workers who built the pyramids. He confirms that genetic studies on the skeletal remains are being conducted in partnership with the University of Hawaii.The conversation turns to the contentious questions surrounding the Giza Plateau. Dr. Hawass explains why drilling in front of the Sphinx has not been permitted, citing previous Stanford Research Institute work in the same location and the need for conclusive scientific evidence before further excavation. He addresses accusations of hiding discoveries, insisting he has never blocked legitimate scientific inquiry and that no evidence of a pre-Egyptian civilization has been found at Giza.Dr. Hawass also previews the upcoming Alaska cruise debate with Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval, promises revelations about the mysterious door found by Gantenbrink's robot inside the Great Pyramid, and outlines plans for a millennium celebration at Giza including placing a gold capstone atop the pyramid.

#0369

January 21, 1998: Open Lines, Lewinsky Scandal

Jan 2138m

Art Bell opens the phone lines as the Monica Lewinsky scandal dominates the news cycle. Newsweek has obtained 17 audio tapes containing 20 hours of conversations between former White House intern Lewinsky and Pentagon aide Linda Tripp, in which Lewinsky appears to describe a sexual relationship with President Clinton and indicates she plans to deny it under oath. Art reads extensively from wire reports and listener faxes as the story develops in real time.Art expresses conflicted feelings about the scandal, acknowledging that if Clinton suborned perjury the consequences are unavoidable, while lamenting that removing a sitting president over such circumstances would wound the country deeply. He notes that Clinton's economic record has been reasonable and warns listeners to consider that impeachment leads directly to an Al Gore presidency. Callers and fax writers are sharply divided between those eager to see Clinton removed and those who view the scandal as a political distraction.The program also includes a brief segment with Norio Hayakawa, who discusses his hypothesis that advanced military technology at Area 51 could be used to stage fake extraterrestrial events, and announces a planned citizen gathering at the base perimeter on June 6, 1998.

#0370

January 25, 1998: Reverse Speech - David John Oates | Dreams - Trish & Rob MacGregor

Jan 251h 33mDavid John Oates, Rob MacGregor

Reverse speech analyst David John Oates examines Clinton-Lewinsky audio reversals with Art Bell before authors Trish and Rob MacGregor discuss dreams, literal dream warnings, lucid dreaming, and out-of-body experiences. Oates plays recordings of President Clinton, Mike McCurry, Al Gore, and George Stephanopoulos speaking forward, then reveals hidden messages embedded in the reversed audio. Among the most striking findings are McCurry saying "damn him, this is ugly and a mess" and Clinton producing several coarse reversals that suggest deception about the nature of his relationship with Monica Lewinsky.Oates explains the fundamentals of reverse speech, demonstrating how the unconscious mind constructs clear phrases within normal conversation at intervals of every ten to fifteen seconds. He shares examples ranging from baby speech to Neil Armstrong on the lunar surface, and recounts the personal dangers he has faced pursuing this research, including his house being burned to the ground.In the second half, authors Trish and Rob MacGregor join to discuss their book on dreams. They explore flying dreams, out-of-body experiences, recurring dream patterns, and the fine line between lucid dreaming and astral travel. Callers share vivid personal accounts of prophetic dreams and unexplained nighttime encounters.

#0371

January 26, 1998: Alien Agenda - Jim Marrs

Jan 262h 38mJim Marrs

Art Bell welcomes investigative journalist Jim Marrs to discuss his book Alien Agenda and the broader implications of government secrecy. Marrs argues that the Clinton scandal has conveniently derailed a growing momentum toward government openness on the UFO issue, noting that plans for a full-page Washington Post ad demanding disclosure have been shelved. He describes how every military-trained remote viewer from the U.S. government program had direct knowledge of extraterrestrial craft and beings.Marrs outlines how media control operates not through censoring individual reporters but through managing the distribution of information at the network level. He reveals that UFO stories submitted for broadcast simply never came back from approval. The conversation turns to the secret government question of who truly controls information when even presidents and CIA directors cannot access it. Stephen Bassett calls in live to describe an urgent effort to get disclosure materials to White House advisors before the State of the Union address.The show also covers the abduction phenomenon, the Alien Agenda thesis of hawks dealing with hawks in secret agreements, and a breaking NASA directive terminating all human exploration beyond Earth orbit. Richard C. Hoagland joins to discuss what this quarantine means in light of new findings about the face on Mars.

#0372

January 27, 1998: Abductee Open Lines | Alien Encounter - KT Frankovich | Mars Mission - Richard C. Hoagland

Jan 272h 51mKT Frankovich, Richard C. Hoagland

Art Bell opens the phone lines exclusively for those who have experienced alien abduction. Callers describe enhanced night vision following contact, sexual experiments aboard craft, missing time lasting several days, and mysterious implants still present beneath their skin. One caller recounts a Travis Walton-like experience involving a domino-shaped craft, a four-day catatonic state, and a strange silicone substance found covering his body afterward.Wildlife filmmaker KT Frankovich then shares her never-before-told 1992 encounter in a lime grove near Miami. She describes in remarkable detail a four-foot-nine gray being with six-fingered hands, non-porous skin, and powerfully muscled legs that defied the frail upper body. Her two trained attack dogs immediately fell asleep upon seeing the creature. She ran parallel to the being as it sprinted through the grove with gazelle-like leaps, carrying a metallic bag. A second encounter at her apartment window involved a female and juvenile being who placed a six-fingered hand against the screen while communicating telepathically.Richard C. Hoagland closes the program with analysis of a new NASA directive terminating all human missions beyond Earth orbit, issued the same day the Lunar Prospector spacecraft arrived at the moon. He connects this to a secret November meeting at NASA headquarters regarding Cydonia imaging.

#0373

January 29, 1998: The Presidential Scandal - Sean David Morton

Jan 292h 22mSean David Morton

Art Bell welcomes self-described prophet Sean David Morton to discuss his prediction of the Clinton scandal months before it broke. Morton traces his forecasting of Clinton's troubled presidency back to September 1992, when he published that Clinton would win with exactly 42 percent of the vote. He connects astrological patterns to political destiny, explaining that Clinton took his second oath of office under a void of course moon, the same lunar condition present during Nixon's ill-fated 1973 inauguration, and that no president inaugurated under this aspect has survived the term politically or physically.Morton draws eerie parallels between the Clinton and Nixon situations, noting that Monica Lewinsky lived in the Watergate complex, that both presidents face destruction by tape recordings, and that Clinton was forced onto the very aircraft that carried Nixon from Washington on resignation day and later JFK's body from Dallas. He predicts the accumulation of scandals involving foreign money and multiple women will ultimately force Clinton from office by August.The conversation expands to the Asian economic crisis, Super Bowl cycles as stock market indicators, the Y2K computer problem and its potential to crash Social Security and IRS systems, and Morton's claims about massive UFO motherships returning over Phoenix in January 1998.

#0374

January 30, 1998: The Afterlife - James Van Praagh

Jan 302h 7mJames Van Praagh

Art Bell sits down with spiritual medium James Van Praagh, whose book Talking to Heaven holds the number one spot on the New York Times bestseller list. Van Praagh describes how he first discovered his abilities after visiting a British medium at age 24, and within two years was accurately relaying names, personal details, and specific memories from those who had passed on. He built a three-year waiting list through referrals alone, never advertising his services.Van Praagh presents his understanding of the afterlife as a multidimensional realm where consciousness determines experience. He describes a world as solid and real as the physical one, with landscapes, homes, schools, and activities, where spirits return to the prime of their lives and reunite with beloved pets. He explains that suicide creates profound consequences as the spirit witnesses the grief it caused, and that capital punishment releases troubled souls at dangerously low vibrational levels where they may influence the living.The discussion ranges across near-death experiences, the nature of hell as self-created guilt, cloning and its spiritual implications, and the life review process where every effect of one's actions on others is felt firsthand. Van Praagh shares his own childhood vision of a luminous hand descending through his bedroom ceiling that confirmed for him the reality of a loving God force.

#0375

February 1, 1998: UFO Reporting - Peter Davenport

Feb 11h 34mPeter Davenport

Art Bell welcomes Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center for a special Dreamland edition packed with raw audio recordings and startling revelations. Davenport shares never-before-heard details about the massive March 13, 1997 Phoenix sighting, including unconfirmed reports that a U.S. reconnaissance satellite went offline, that military forces jumped from DEFCON 5 to DEFCON 3, and that President Clinton's knee injury that same night may not have been a simple stumble on carpet.The program features extraordinary raw 911 dispatch audio from a 1994 Michigan incident in which a National Weather Service radar operator tracked multiple large, fast-moving objects over Lake Michigan in real time. Listeners hear his escalating astonishment as returns appear, split apart, and race toward Chicago at altitudes between 6,000 and 12,000 feet. Additional recordings from Edwards Air Force Base confirm military personnel scrambling interceptors after painting unknown objects on radar.Davenport also presents recent reports from Maine, Florida, and Seattle, noting a troubling increase in close encounters involving vehicle interference and witness paralysis. He appeals to listeners with inside knowledge of military activities on the night of the Phoenix sighting to come forward with any information that might confirm these extraordinary claims.

#0376

February 1, 1998: UPN's Lake County Abduction Show - Stanton Friedman

Feb 13h 29mStanton Friedman

Art Bell is joined by nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman to discuss the controversial UPN television special about the McPherson family abduction, a program that blurred the line between documentary and fiction. Friedman explains he was interviewed for over an hour about abduction research but never saw the alleged home video at the center of the show. His comments were then edited alongside scripted footage featuring 22 listed cast members, creating the false impression that he was endorsing the dramatization as authentic.Friedman describes his efforts to hold UPN and Dick Clark Productions accountable, having contacted both organizations and the FCC about the deceptive presentation. He notes that the show listed actors for every role, including the aliens, yet half of viewers polled believed the footage was genuine. On a positive note, he announces plans to produce his own television documentary with full creative control, promising to present verified evidence and expose fraudulent claims in ufology.The conversation broadens into Roswell, where Friedman challenges the Air Force crash test dummy explanation and discusses his classified meetings with federal officials who acknowledged the UFO phenomenon as real. Open lines bring calls ranging from Tom Clancy buying the Minnesota Vikings to animal attacks and daylight saving time debates.

#0377

February 3, 1998: Cancer Survivor - Dr. Lorraine Day

Feb 31h 2mDr. Lorraine Day

Art Bell interviews Dr. Lorraine Day, a former associate professor and vice chairman of orthopedic surgery at the University of California San Francisco, about her personal battle with cancer and the natural methods she used to overcome it. Dr. Day describes how a small tumor on her chest grew to the size of a grapefruit in just ten days after her immune system collapsed from years of overwork, sleep deprivation, and chronic stress.After refusing chemotherapy and radiation, which she argues destroy the very immune system needed for healing, Dr. Day adopted a rigorous natural protocol. Her plan included eight glasses of fresh carrot juice daily, four glasses of green vegetable juice, eliminating meat and sugar, drinking sixteen to twenty glasses of water, getting adequate sunlight, and most critically, removing the emotional stress from her life through prayer and lifestyle changes. She reports being cancer-free within ten months.Dr. Day challenges conventional medical thinking on multiple fronts, arguing that genetics account for less than five percent of cancers and that the real culprits are malnutrition, dehydration, and chronic stress. She shares the story of her 85-year-old mother recovering from a severe autoimmune disease on the same program, and callers contribute their own experiences with alternative healing approaches.

#0378

February 4, 1998: Alien Implants - Dr. Roger Leir

Feb 41h 57mDr. Roger Leir

Art Bell speaks with podiatric surgeon Dr. Roger Leir and investigator Daryl Sims about the surgical removal and scientific analysis of objects taken from the bodies of alleged alien abductees. Dr. Leir describes removing a T-shaped metallic object from a woman's foot that was covered in a biological membrane so strong it could not be cut with a surgical scalpel, yet showed zero inflammatory response from the body, something unprecedented in his 33 years of surgical practice.Analysis at Los Alamos and New Mexico Tech revealed the objects contain an iron carbide core with hardness matching the highest carbon tool steel, surrounded by layers of aluminum, calcium, barium, copper, and other elements. The membrane coating was composed entirely of materials from the human body, including blood proteins, an oxygen-binding iron pigment, and keratin. Scanning electron microscope photographs posted on Art Bell's website show the structured metallic rods in extraordinary detail, including what appears to be a barb-like anchoring device.Sims reveals that nerve proprioceptors, sensory organs normally found only in fingertips and skin surfaces, were discovered deep inside the tissue surrounding the implants near bone. A Gauss meter registered strong electromagnetic readings over one patient's implant site, readings that vanished immediately after surgical removal. Both researchers note that major drug companies have expressed interest in the rejection-proof membrane technology.

#0379

February 5, 1998: Reptilian Encounters - Pamela Stonebrooke

Feb 52h 41mPamela Stonebrooke

Returning guest Pamela Stonebrooke, a singer who describes encounters with reptilian beings, joins Art Bell to discuss reptilian encounters after Peter Davenport's pilot-whale segment. Art opens with Peter Davenport discussing mysterious photographs of U.S. Air Force Black Hawk helicopters dumping pilot whales 150 miles out to sea, whales the military had kept for 13 months after they beached themselves near Key West with their tails bent at 90-degree angles. Davenport estimates the operation cost taxpayers over a million dollars and questions why the military would invest such resources in cetacean rehabilitation only to release them back into the wild.Stonebrooke recounts her ongoing encounters with reptilian beings. She describes a profound telepathic and emotional connection with a reptilian entity, one that began when a human-appearing figure transformed mid-encounter into a scaled creature. A regression session with hypnotherapist Barbara Lamb revealed what Pamela interprets as a past-life memory of existing as a reptilian warrior facing extinction.Pamela discusses the personal cost of going public, including job loss and strained relationships, while noting she has received hundreds of letters from other women describing similar experiences. She also references frightening incidents suggesting military interest in her case, including waking up drugged with physical injuries after apparent interrogation.

#0380

February 9, 1998: Remote Viewing - Ed Dames

Feb 92h 56mEd Dames

Art Bell welcomes back Major Ed Dames, the former military remote viewing operations officer known as "Dr. Doom," for a wide-ranging discussion of SciTech's latest projects and predictions. Dames explains how technical remote viewing works as a rigorous protocol for downloading patterns of information from the collective unconscious, and he describes his team's past intelligence work locating Iraqi biological weapons stockpiles for the United Nations.The conversation turns to Dames' alarming forecasts. He warns of devastating weather destroying North American food crops, a coming global economic collapse, and a rapidly accelerating wave of disease that will overwhelm medical institutions worldwide. He also updates his prediction of a lethal solar event he calls the "kill shot" and discusses a mysterious cylinder on an Earth-intercept trajectory that his team believes carries a plant pathogen.Dames shares findings from SciTech's dolphin communication research, revealing the animals process information visually and respond to photographs. He also addresses the JFK assassination, stating his remote viewing sessions revealed a pneumatic flechette fired from inside the presidential vehicle. The program closes with details on Project Starman, his ambitious plan to initiate extraterrestrial contact from a site in Polynesia.

#0381

February 10, 1998: Ufology - Derrel Sims | Gulf Breeze UFO - Whitley Strieber

Feb 103h 22mDerrel Sims, Whitley Strieber

Art Bell opens with author Whitley Strieber and Project Awareness coordinator Vicki Lyons, who report a remarkable series of UFO sightings over the Gulf Breeze, Florida area. Strieber describes witnessing a brilliant garnet-red light hovering above the horizon that moved directly overhead during a Life magazine photo shoot. Lyons explains how multiple observer groups triangulated the object from separate locations across Pensacola, and she shares details of daytime sightings captured on video by witnesses in nearby Robertsdale, Alabama.The second half features Derrel Sims, a former CIA operative turned hard-evidence UFO investigator. Sims details his own childhood abduction experiences beginning at age three and explains his discovery of fluorescence found on the skin of abductees after contact with the beings. He describes how pathology reports from surgically removed scoop marks reveal solar elastosis, indicating localized exposure to intense ultraviolet radiation that corroborates abductee testimony.Sims recounts a bold experiment in which he implanted a post-hypnotic suggestion containing sensitive information into an ongoing abductee, effectively sending a message to her captors. He discusses the resulting mass abduction event of December 1992 involving eight separate witnesses and addresses the critical distinction between false memory syndrome and genuine recovered memory in hypnotherapy work.

#0382

February 11, 1998: Roswell Alien Technology - Jack Shulman

Feb 112h 45mJack Shulman

Jack Shulman of American Computer Company joins Art Bell to discuss alleged Roswell alien technology, the transcapacitor, and claims of back-engineered computer hardware after a first hour of open lines. Art covers the Monica Lewinsky scandal, a five-million-dollar interview offer from his Las Vegas affiliate, the looming Iraq conflict, and reports of unusual animal behavior worldwide. He notes that the Clinton administration has quietly authorized targeting Iraq with tactical nuclear warheads, raising the stakes of the pending military action.Shulman, chairman of the American Computer Company, claims his firm is back-engineering alien technology recovered from the 1947 Roswell crash. Shulman describes a device called the transcapacitor, which stores information not as binary ones and zeros like a transistor but as multiple voltage gradients, functioning similarly to the rods and cones of the human eye. He says a wallet-sized version could hold several terabytes of data and operate at billions of bits per second.Shulman recounts receiving a mysterious classified fax from a military space platform called Sky Station, followed by a break-in at his offices where nothing of obvious value was taken but files were searched. Linda Moulton Howe joins to compare the transcapacitor's physical description with the alien wafers described by Colonel Philip Corso in his book about Roswell technology transfer.

#0383

February 12, 1998: Reverse Speech - David John Oates

Feb 122h 4mDavid John Oates

Art Bell welcomes back Australian researcher David Oates for an extended exploration of reverse speech, the theory that human language simultaneously produces unconscious communication when played backward. Oates demonstrates with classic examples, including Neil Armstrong's lunar landing audio reversing to "man will spacewalk" and his own infant daughter producing clear English words in reverse before she could speak forward.The bulk of the program focuses on reverse speech analysis of President Bill Clinton and the Lewinsky scandal. Oates plays reversals from Clinton's public statements that appear to confirm the sexual relationship, including crude references and the phrase "I see that we're broken." Hillary Clinton's reversals suggest emotional pain and a private understanding with her husband. Press Secretary Mike McCurry's speech reverses to reveal frustration, while Clinton's remarks on Iraq produce the chilling phrase "let's shoot for the assassin."Oates also presents reversals from NASA officials containing the word "Cydonia" and a reference to a starship, and he revisits reversals from a previous guest known as Harlot, a self-described devil worshiper. He addresses criticism of bias in his Clinton analysis and emphasizes the strict research protocols governing syllable count, tonal signature, and contextual congruence that distinguish legitimate reverse speech findings.

#0384

February 16, 1998: UFO Propulsion Systems - Mark McCandlish

Feb 162h 49m

Art Bell speaks with aerospace illustrator and researcher Mark McCandlish, who has spent 18 years consulting for defense contractors and collecting testimony about classified aircraft. McCandlish describes a family of vehicles known as Aurora, including a football-shaped craft using pulse detonation propulsion that creates distinctive donut-on-a-rope contrails over the western United States. He estimates classified aviation technology may be 30 years ahead of what is publicly acknowledged.The discussion shifts to scalar electromagnetic weapons, which McCandlish says transmit destructive energy through hyperspace by combining two focused beams at a distant target. He suggests these weapons could explain mysterious power grid failures and raises the possibility that Iraq may be acquiring this technology from Russia. He connects Tesla's resonance research to the underlying principles and speculates that Chernobyl resulted from a scalar weapon's energy being reflected back to its source.McCandlish outlines his plan to build a proof-of-concept anti-gravity device using a satellite dish fitted with capacitor sections made from magnesium-zinc foil laminated with bismuth, powered by a Van de Graaff generator and Tesla coil. He believes the Biefeld-Brown effect can produce enough lift to raise a thousand pounds and intends to compete for the X Prize in commercial spaceflight.

#0385

February 18, 1998: Anti-Aging - Dr. Ronald Klatz

Feb 183h 31mDr. Ronald Klatz

Art Bell welcomes Dr. Ronald Klatz, president of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, for a wide-ranging discussion on longevity science and the prospect of dramatically extending the human lifespan. The broadcast opens with coverage of a contentious Ohio State University town hall meeting on the Iraq crisis, featuring firsthand reporting from journalist Marshall Barnes who was present at the event.Dr. Klatz outlines the scientific breakthroughs he believes will allow people alive today to push well beyond natural limits. He describes the Human Genome Project's ahead-of-schedule progress in mapping every gene in the human body and predicts reliable genetic therapies within 20 years that could reset aging at the cellular level. The conversation covers hormone replacement therapy, including newly FDA-approved human growth hormone for aging-related conditions, along with practical recommendations for antioxidants, selenium supplementation, and exercise. Klatz and Art also discuss the politics of pain medication, the promise of antiviral drugs, and the five-year timeline he projects for an AIDS cure.Art presses Klatz on the philosophical question of why anyone would want to live forever, and Klatz responds with a personal goal of 150 years before calling his friend Dr. Jack Kevorkian for a house call.

#0386

February 19, 1998: The Life of Edgar Cayce - Edgar Evans Cayce

Feb 191h 3mEdgar Evans Cayce

Art Bell sits down with Edgar Evans Cayce, the 80-year-old son of famed psychic Edgar Cayce, for a rare and personal conversation about growing up with America's most documented clairvoyant. The elder Cayce gave over 14,000 readings during his lifetime, roughly 60 percent of which were medical diagnoses that produced remarkable results when followed precisely.Edgar Evans recounts how his father discovered his abilities as a child by sleeping on a spelling book and absorbing its contents, then later cured his own voice loss through self-induced hypnosis. He shares the story of his own severe childhood burn, which his father diagnosed and treated through a reading that allowed full recovery. The discussion turns to Atlantis, a subject Edgar Evans researched extensively by compiling hundreds of his father's life readings into the book Edgar Cayce on Atlantis. He notes that archaeological discoveries, satellite imaging of the Nile's ancient westward course, and radiocarbon dating have repeatedly confirmed details his father described decades earlier.Art asks about the Hall of Records beneath the Sphinx, earth change prophecies, and whether anyone today matches his father's abilities. Edgar Evans replies simply that his brother searched the world and never found anyone with a comparable track record.

#0387

February 20, 1998: Alien Abductions - David Jacobs

Feb 2047mDavid Jacobs

Art Bell welcomes Professor David Jacobs, a Temple University historian and author of The Threat, for a detailed examination of the alien abduction phenomenon based on hundreds of hypnotic regression sessions conducted over decades of careful academic research.Jacobs presents his findings that abduction accounts from unrelated individuals across the country contain strikingly consistent details about alien beings, procedures, and spacecraft interiors. He describes a systematic program of genetic harvesting and hybrid breeding that appears to span multiple human generations, with abductees reporting procedures involving reproductive material collection and the presentation of hybrid offspring. The conversation addresses the psychological toll on experiencers who struggle to reconcile traumatic memories with everyday life, as well as the therapeutic challenges of helping them process these encounters. Art presses Jacobs on how his academic colleagues receive this research, and Jacobs explains the professional risks of investigating a subject that mainstream science dismisses outright.Jacobs outlines what he considers the most disturbing implication of his findings: that the abduction program is not random or benevolent but represents a methodical integration project with long-term consequences for human autonomy and identity.

#0388

February 23, 1998: Mars Mission - Richard C. Hoagland

Feb 232h 49mRichard C. Hoagland

Art Bell reunites with Richard C. Hoagland, winner of the Angstrom Science Award and former advisor to Walter Cronkite, for an urgent broadcast about the Mars Global Surveyor mission and what Hoagland calls a deliberate effort by NASA to avoid photographing the Cydonia region.Hoagland explains that the spacecraft's elliptical orbit is about to bring its camera within 150 miles of the controversial face and pyramid structures, offering resolution 40 to 50 times sharper than the 1976 Viking images. However, principal investigator Dr. Michael Malin has announced on his website that the camera may be turned off due to power limitations, just as the geometry becomes ideal for Cydonia imaging. Hoagland argues this contradicts NASA Administrator Dan Goldin's public promise to photograph Cydonia at every available opportunity. Art provides fax numbers for Goldin, Ted Koppel, and CNN's John Holliman, urging listeners to demand the camera remain operational. In the second half, engineer Ted Tweetmeyer joins to reveal that telemetry data from the Challenger launch pad was lost because someone manually disabled a switching system in the blockhouse shortly before liftoff.A broadcast that combines the Mars imaging controversy with troubling questions about the Challenger disaster and the boundaries between NASA's public mission and its classified operations.

#0389

February 24, 1998: Theoretical Physics - Dr. Michio Kaku

Feb 241h 35mDr. Michio Kaku

Art Bell welcomes Professor Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist at the City University of New York and co-founder of string field theory, for a sweeping conversation that moves from the nature of gravity to the possibility of time travel and the future of human civilization.Kaku explains Einstein's revolutionary insight that gravity is not a pulling force but rather the effect of mass bending the fabric of space, using the analogy of a fat actor warping a trampoline stage. He describes how string theory extends this into 10 and 11 dimensions, with the latest M-theory suggesting that our entire universe exists on the surface of a bubble in a boiling multiverse where Big Bangs happen constantly. The discussion covers wormholes as shortcuts through space, the Casimir effect as laboratory evidence of negative energy, and the hypothetical negative matter that could serve as fuel for a time machine. Kaku outlines the Kardashev scale of civilizations, classifying humanity as a primitive Type 0 that burns dead plants for energy, roughly 100 to 200 years from achieving Type 1 planetary status.Art challenges Kaku on whether advanced civilizations would necessarily be peaceful, and Kaku responds with the sobering observation that the real danger lies in whether Type 0 civilizations can survive their own nuclear weapons and pollution long enough to evolve.

#0390

February 25, 1998: Cryptozoology - Loren Coleman

Feb 251h 51mLoren Coleman

Art Bell welcomes cryptozoologist Loren Coleman for a wide-ranging exploration of mysterious creatures reported around the world. Coleman shares decades of field research into Bigfoot, the Chupacabra, phantom kangaroos, and lake monsters, offering his assessment that Pacific Northwest Sasquatch sightings point to an unidentified bipedal primate. He discusses physical evidence including footprint analysis, hair samples, and nest structures that distinguish genuine encounters from hoaxes.The conversation turns to the Patterson-Gimlin film, which Coleman considers authentic based on his evaluation of the witnesses and the footage itself. He addresses the famous John Chambers hoax claim, noting that Chambers himself denied involvement. Coleman also weighs in on the Chupacabra phenomenon, suggesting these creatures may be primates rather than the reptilian aliens many assume them to be.Callers share their own encounters, including a Marine whose military exercise was canceled after troops encountered unknown bipedal creatures in the California wilderness. A woman describes picking berries alongside a Bigfoot as a child. Coleman responds thoughtfully to each account while maintaining his scientific approach to the field of cryptozoology.

February 26, 1998: Mariner Mission to Mars - Mark J. Carlotto & Stanley McDaniel

Feb 262h 47mMark J. Carlotto, Stanley McDaniel

Dr. Mark J. Carlotto and Professor Stanley McDaniel join Art Bell to discuss the Mars Mariner mission, Mars Global Surveyor, and Cydonia imaging after breaking reports of blue-green fireballs over Colorado. UFO Reporting Center director Peter Davenport and MUFON Colorado state director Michael Kurta describe an object seen for four minutes over Colorado Springs, far too long for any natural meteorite. Multiple witnesses across the Denver metro area confirm sightings, and military helicopters from Fort Carson reportedly launched blacked out toward the area where the object may have landed.Carlotto and McDaniel discuss the Mars Global Surveyor mission and prospects for imaging the Cydonia region. They clarify that the spacecraft camera was turned off due to aerobraking constraints and solar conjunction, not conspiracy, and that multiple imaging opportunities will arise between late March and September. Carlotto cites statistical odds between 100-to-1 and 100,000-to-1 favoring artificiality of the Cydonia structures.Both scientists express concern over contractor Michael Malin having sole control of Mars imagery. McDaniel notes that NASA personnel at a recent meeting appeared unfamiliar with years of published research on the Cydonia anomalies, suggesting institutional barriers rather than a deliberate cover-up may be at work.

February 27, 1998: Science & Spirituality - Gregg Braden

Feb 272h 35mGregg Braden

Art Bell welcomes scientist and author Gregg Braden for a conversation bridging ancient wisdom and modern science. Braden, a former geologist and aerospace engineer who worked on the Peacekeeper missile program at Martin Marietta, argues that key spiritual and scientific texts were removed from public knowledge around 325 A.D. under Constantine. He contends that these lost documents contained an inner technology relating human emotion to physical well-being and genetic expression.The discussion turns to evidence of spontaneous genetic mutation documented since 1995. Braden cites a global blood study from the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center showing that at least one percent of the population tested had developed DNA mutations conferring resistance to HIV up to 3,000 times greater than normal. He references UCLA research on children born HIV-positive who spontaneously cleared the virus, and Stanford University studies linking emotional states to immune system function.Braden proposes that human DNA contains dormant codes being activated in response to environmental challenges including declining magnetic fields and ozone depletion. He points to research showing previously unused gene sets switching on within individuals during their own lifetimes, a phenomenon scientists are calling spontaneous genetic mutation of recent evolutionary origin.

March 3, 1998: ET Stories - Cynthia Turnage

Mar 32h 16mCynthia Turnage

Art Bell speaks with freelance writer Cynthia Turnage, who has studied over 300 translations of ancient Mesopotamian, Vedic, Hebrew, and Egyptian texts. Turnage presents her research into reported sexual encounters between humans and extraterrestrials, drawing from approximately 35 documented cases. She describes the 1957 Antonio Villas Boas case from Brazil and accounts from witnesses her physicist husband has interviewed, noting that technical descriptions of spacecraft operations showed consistent details across unrelated cases.The conversation expands into Turnage's broader thesis that the Bible represents a series of coded transmissions from beings originating on the planet Nibiru. She connects Mesopotamian deity Marduk to biblical references, argues that Babylonian cubits can measure distances between Martian monuments, and claims to have found additional face-like structures on Mars forming geometric patterns. She also shares her analysis of NASA lunar photographs showing what she interprets as anomalous objects.Turnage offers her interpretation of biblical prophecy, connecting the rebuilding of Babylon by Saddam Hussein to the Book of Daniel and Revelation. She calculates the return of Nibiru at 2060 A.D. based on a 3,600-year orbital period. Callers challenge and support her claims in equal measure throughout the program.

March 4, 1998: Project Stargate - Dale Graff

Mar 42h 54mDale Graff

Art Bell opens with alarming reports of flesh-eating strep A bacteria spreading across Texas, with 89 cases and 18 deaths reported since December. He questions why the outbreak receives so little national media coverage. A caller claiming to be a former government biological weapons researcher connects the outbreak to experiments at Dugway, Utah, alleging that common bacteria have been engineered into lethal strains.The main guest is Dale Graff, the man who coined the name for the government's secret remote viewing effort, Project Stargate. Graff, who spent 17 years in the Defense Department researching parapsychological phenomena, confirms that psi is real based on his quarter-century of work. He describes the protocols used in remote viewing sessions, including randomized targeting and double-blind procedures, and offers his theory that remote viewers may actually be perceiving their own future knowledge rather than traveling through time.Graff reveals that the program's cancellation was driven more by career concerns of military commanders than by any failure of results. He states that if the 1995 review had examined earlier successes from the 1980s rather than only the final two years, the conclusion would have been very different. He maintains that psi ability exists in everyone to varying degrees and represents an extension of natural human intuition.

#0395

March 5, 1998: Hollywood & UFOs - Bruce Rux

Mar 52h 22mBruce Rux

Art Bell welcomes author Bruce Rux to discuss his book "Hollywood vs. the Aliens," which argues that U.S. military and intelligence agencies have used Hollywood films to shape public perception of UFOs since the 1950s. Rux has analyzed over 600 movies in the genre and traces connections between filmmakers and defense industry figures, claiming alien designs and scripts were altered at executive levels to match classified information.The conversation covers mind control research under MK-Ultra, with Rux contending the program never truly ended. He examines films from "The Thing" to "Independence Day," identifying two competing government agendas: one faction seeking to educate the public about extraterrestrial contact, and another using fear of aliens to justify defense spending. Rux also shares his own encounter with apparent intelligence operatives who visited him after his book was published.Callers weigh in with questions about the Oklahoma City bombing, presidential briefings on UFOs, and whether Art himself might be an unwitting participant in a larger information campaign. A Hollywood special effects professional calls to challenge the conspiracy angle, sparking a lively exchange about what truly drives the industry.

#0396

March 5, 1998: Death of James McDougal - Chris Ruddy | Time Machine Inventor - Steven Gibbs

Mar 52h 1mChris Ruddy, Steven Gibbs

Art Bell opens with investigative reporter Chris Ruddy to examine the sudden death of Whitewater figure James McDougal in federal prison. Ruddy explains that McDougal died of an apparent heart attack while in solitary confinement, just two weeks after former Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker reportedly agreed to cooperate with Kenneth Starr. Because grand jury testimony cannot be cross-examined, McDougal's death effectively renders his evidence inadmissible in court.Ruddy raises troubling questions about the timing and circumstances, noting that McDougal died six years to the day after the Whitewater scandal first broke. He connects the case to broader concerns about the Vince Foster investigation and reveals that McDougal told him off the record he was never questioned about Foster by Starr's office. The discussion also touches on Linda Tripp being held in an FBI-guarded safe house.In the second half, Art speaks with Steven Gibbs, a Nebraska farm boy who claims to build and sell time machines. Gibbs describes his device, which uses an electromagnet, tuning dials, and coils placed around the forehead. A customer named Augie Nost calls in to describe his own experience using the machine.

March 11, 1998: Tampa Sightings Update - Peter Davenport

Mar 112h 6mPeter Davenport

Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center joins Art Bell with a Tampa sightings update after asteroid 1997 XF-11 and Navy low-frequency sonar coverage. Dick Allgaier, a reporter for KITV News in Honolulu, shares his firsthand account from aboard the research vessel Cory Chouest, where 195-decibel underwater speakers blast sound waves while scientists monitor whale behavior nearby.Greenpeace Hawaii director Michael Bailey joins the broadcast to argue that the same sonar frequencies caused permanent nerve damage and memory loss in Navy divers during classified tests. He contends that the full system, once operational, could affect marine life across every ocean on the planet. A former submarine sonar operator also calls in to confirm that active pinging sends whales fleeing at high speed.Davenport provides an update on a massive wave of sightings across Florida. Multiple witnesses, including a retired pilot, describe brilliant diamond-shaped lights performing right-angle turns at extreme speed. The official explanations shift from flares to submarine-launched missiles, but witness accounts from both coasts of Florida contradict those theories.

#0398

March 13, 1998: SETI - Seth Shostak

Mar 132h 48mSeth Shostak

Art Bell interviews Seth Shostak, public programs scientist at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California, about the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Shostak explains that the project, renamed Phoenix after Congress killed NASA's SETI funding in 1993, now survives on private donations from supporters like Bill Hewlett and David Packard. The parallels to the film "Contact" prove remarkably close to reality.Shostak describes the technical challenges of distinguishing alien signals from the thousands of satellites and telecommunications sources cluttering the radio spectrum. The team uses a 28-million-channel receiver and a second antenna hundreds of miles away to filter interference in real time. He recounts a tense 24-hour false alarm in June 1997 when a promising signal turned out to be the European SOHO satellite orbiting a million miles from Earth.The conversation turns to whether any confirmed detection would remain secret. Shostak argues that secrecy is virtually impossible, noting that news of the June false alarm leaked to the New York Times within hours. He also addresses physicist Michio Kaku's criticism that advanced civilizations would likely use spread spectrum technology rather than the narrow-band signals SETI currently monitors.

#0399

March 16, 1998: Mars - Dr. Tom Van Flandern | HAARP - Linda Moulton Howe

Mar 162h 39mDr. Tom Van Flandern, Linda Moulton Howe

Art Bell presents a two-part program beginning with Linda Moulton Howe's investigation into Project HAARP, the high-frequency radio transmitter in Gakona, Alaska. Cornell professor Michael Kelly explains that HAARP's energy output is far smaller than the natural aurora and poses no environmental threat. Program manager John Heckscher notes the facility is only one-quarter built after a decade of inconsistent funding. Activist Nick Begich urges broader public oversight before the system reaches full power.Astronomer Tom Van Flandern then presents his hypothesis that Mars was once a moon of a larger planet that exploded, possibly 65 million years ago. He argues the blast stripped away Mars's atmosphere, cratered one entire hemisphere, and sent debris that contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Van Flandern has conducted eight statistical tests on the Cydonia region and concludes the face and surrounding structures are likely artificial in origin.Most remarkably, Van Flandern reveals that the face sits on Mars's ancient equator, before a pole shift tilted it to its current latitude. He suggests the builders lived on the parent planet and constructed the face to be visible from its surface, raising the possibility that those beings eventually migrated to Earth.

March 17, 1998: UFO Debate - Jim Dilettoso

Mar 173h 15mJim Dilettoso

Art Bell hosts a heated debate between photographic analyst Jim Dilettoso and author Kal Korff over some of the most contentious cases in UFO history. The two clash over the Billy Meier photographs from Switzerland, with Korff declaring them a blatant hoax based on optical analysis and Dilettoso defending the testing he helped coordinate at facilities including Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Neither side gives ground as they argue over methodology, original negatives, and whether photos can be authenticated without them.The debate shifts to the Phoenix Lights, the massive sighting event from March 1997. Korff contends the later filmed lights were military flares, while Dilettoso maintains that over 400 witness reports describe a single extraordinary event. Both agree the earlier V-shaped object sightings remain unexplained. Art sets up a live audience poll on his website and invites both guests to upload photographs for public examination.Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center calls in to challenge statements made on air, adding another layer of conflict to an already explosive evening. The exchanges grow increasingly personal as allegations about credentials and credibility fly between the participants.

March 19, 1998: Consciousness - Terence McKenna

Mar 192h 50mTerence McKenna

Art Bell welcomes Terence McKenna, calling from a remote solar-powered home on Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano via a cutting-edge one-megabyte wireless internet link. McKenna surveys recent scientific milestones including anti-gravitational forces, water on the moon, and quantum teleportation. He and Art consider whether artificial intelligence could emerge from the internet and quietly observe humanity before deciding what to do with its creators.The conversation turns to DMT, a powerful psychedelic compound McKenna calls the most intense experience possible outside of death. He describes encounters with self-transforming geometric entities that attempt to teach a visible language, noting these experiences recur consistently. McKenna argues that psychedelics dissolve cultural programming, which is precisely why governments suppress them, and he connects shamanic traditions with quantum non-locality as parallel routes to non-human intelligence.Art and McKenna also weigh in on the Clinton scandal, Y2K preparedness, cannabis legalization, and the Dutch drug policy experiment. McKenna frames the political moment as a culture war reaching critical mass. Callers raise questions about sacred geometry in dreams, the nature of time, and expanded consciousness.

March 22, 1998: Gulf Breeze UFO - Linda Moulton Howe | See Auras in 60 Seconds - Mark Smith

Mar 221h 58mLinda Moulton Howe, Mark Smith

Linda Moulton Howe reports from Gulf Breeze, Florida, where a UFO conference has produced its own sightings. Resident Don Rash describes a lens-shaped silver craft that moved rapidly across a clear sky, tilted onto its axis, and vanished. He and his wife Cindy later observed a round silver disc with perimeter lights passing directly overhead while driving across a bridge at twilight.Linda also covers an alarming fish disease spreading from Florida to South America, with scientists suspecting a Pfiesteria-related microorganism. She warns that El Nino conditions may worsen outbreaks. The episode then shifts as author Mark Smith joins to teach listeners how to see auras with the naked eye in 60 seconds.Smith explains that the aura is a measurable energy field surrounding the body, with voltages up to 80 volts recorded at the Menninger Institute. Using peripheral vision and a white background, he walks listeners through a simple technique, reporting that up to 90 percent of first-time viewers see the same colors around the same subject. Smith connects the aura to the soul and describes how illness can appear in the field before physical symptoms surface, and shares the story of watching his mother's aura disintegrate hours before her death.

March 23, 1998: Alien Abductions - Phillip Krapf

Mar 231h 57mPhillip Krapf

Art Bell interviews Phillip Krapf, a retired copy editor from the Los Angeles Times who spent 25 years on the metro desk and shared in a Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the 1992 LA riots. The first portion explores his mainstream journalism career and lifelong skepticism toward UFOs and the paranormal, carefully establishing his credentials before the conversation takes an unexpected turn.Krapf reveals that in June 1997, he was taken from his bed aboard an alien starship into a vast room filled with hundreds of examination tables. Slightly built beings about five feet tall attended each table. Rather than being examined, Krapf says he was brought to a boardroom and told that humanity had been deemed worthy of joining an intergalactic federation of sovereign planets.He claims to have spent three days aboard the craft, receiving an orientation on a planned timeline for formal contact with Earth over the next decade. Hundreds of influential people worldwide, he says, have been given similar briefings. His book, The Contact Has Begun, presents the full account. Art presses him on whether it could have been a delusion, and callers respond with a mix of fascination and doubt.

March 24, 1998: Egypt - Dannion Brinkley

Mar 241h 20mDannion Brinkley

Art Bell welcomes Dannion Brinkley, three-time near-death experiencer and author of Saved by the Light, calling from Washington, D.C. Brinkley has just returned from Egypt, Syria, the Iraqi border, and an illegal crossing into Lebanon. He reports a major archaeological discovery near Tushka in the southwest desert, where laborers digging irrigation channels uncovered a temple over 10,000 years old, with evidence of still older structures beneath.The find threatens the conventional timeline of Egyptian civilization. Art and Brinkley discuss the work of researchers Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock, who have long challenged establishment Egyptology. Art questions whether Dr. Zahi Hawass would ever release evidence contradicting the accepted history, and Brinkley acknowledges that secret excavations are likely underway at Giza. They preview an upcoming debate cruise that will bring all parties together.The conversation also touches on hospice care, Edgar Cayce's Hall of Records predictions, and the collapse of Egyptian tourism after the Luxor massacre. An 8.1 magnitude earthquake triggers a Pacific tsunami watch during the broadcast. Callers ask about prophecy, prayer, and near-death experiences. Brinkley insists that humanity stands at a threshold of discovery that will fundamentally reshape the understanding of its own origins.

March 25, 1998: Pirate Radio - Pat Murphy & Roger Skinner

Mar 252h 34mPat Murphy, Roger Skinner

Art Bell welcomes Pat Murphy and Roger Skinner for an evening devoted to pirate radio and the fight for low-power broadcasting in America. Murphy, president of the Association of Clandestine Radio Enthusiasts and a veteran commercial broadcaster, shares his fascination with unlicensed operators who seize the airwaves. Art openly discusses his own history as a pirate broadcaster across FM, AM, television, and shortwave.Skinner presents his FCC petition for rulemaking that would create affordable low-power FM licenses, allowing individuals of limited financial means to own radio stations for less than the price of a new car. He proposes dropping outdated second and third adjacent channel restrictions and establishing a secondary-class license structure that balances accessibility with interference protection. The two debate whether full broadcasting anarchy is feasible or whether some regulation remains essential.Open lines bring callers from Hawaii to New Jersey sharing their own pirate broadcasting stories. A micro-broadcaster in Hawaii questions whether court precedents protect him. A caller near New York City describes the impossibility of finding open FM frequencies. Art declares his support for local low-power broadcasting while acknowledging the political realities of commercial opposition.

March 26, 1998: Reverse Speech - David John Oates

Mar 262h 47mDavid John Oates

Art Bell hosts David John Oates for an extensive session of reverse speech analysis covering Kathleen Willey, Dr. Michael Malin, and Major Ed Dames. Oates begins with classic demonstrations, including Neil Armstrong's famous reversal and baby speech examples, before turning to the 60 Minutes interview where Willey described her encounter with President Clinton. Her reversals suggest fear and truthfulness, with phrases referencing power and danger emerging throughout.A caller named Ken Reier challenges Oates over the Area 51 caller analysis, presenting alternative reversals he believes prove the call was fabricated. The exchange highlights how the same audio segment can yield different interpretations, with Art noting that knowing what to listen for influences what one hears. The debate underscores the need for strict research protocols in this developing field.Richard C. Hoagland joins to help interpret reversals found on Dr. Malin, the Mars camera principal investigator. The reversals contain recurring spiritual and Egyptian imagery, including references to a goddess, a throne, and a father in the light. Hoagland connects these metaphoric patterns to the constellation alignments his team has documented across decades of NASA missions, suggesting a hidden spiritual dimension behind Mars exploration.

#0407

March 27, 1998: Rocky Mountain Discoveries - Robert Ghost Wolf

Mar 273h 9mRobert Ghost Wolf

Art Bell presents what he calls a paradigm-shattering program as Robert Ghost Wolf reveals discoveries from a month-long expedition into the Rocky Mountains. Ghost Wolf, a Native American researcher of mixed blood, was guided to a remote site at 14,000 feet by indigenous elders who knew of its existence through oral traditions passed down from the Ute Indians. The site required daily climbs of 2,000 feet through deep snow and rapidly decomposing granite.Ghost Wolf describes finding over 70 distinct formations, including two massive griffins standing approximately 70 feet tall on either side of a canyon entrance. Most stunning is a sphinx he estimates at 100 feet in height, complete with headdress and facial features virtually identical to the Egyptian Sphinx. Carvings of human faces appear at its base. Using GPS coordinates, he mapped the major formations and discovered their positions correspond to the constellation Orion, a pattern found at sacred sites worldwide from Giza to Stonehenge to Machu Picchu.Richard C. Hoagland calls in and compares the find to similar ruins at Marcawasi in Peru. He suggests the formations could be hundreds of thousands of years old and urges Ghost Wolf to overlay his GPS data on Carl Munck's global grid. Art reads faxes from stunned listeners who confirm the photographs speak for themselves.

#0408

March 31, 1998: The Face on Mars - Richard C. Hoagland

Mar 313h 26mRichard C. Hoagland

Art Bell opens with news of the day, including the Jonesboro school shooting aftermath and Sarah McLendon's provocative press release about government UFO knowledge that reportedly triggered threats against the veteran White House correspondent. An April Fools' Day prank fax briefly adds confusion before Art shares humorous instructions for building a homemade atomic bomb, posted to his website as satire.Richard C. Hoagland arrives to discuss the imminent re-imaging of the Cydonia region on Mars, scheduled for April 5th, 14th, and 23rd. NASA has finally yielded to public pressure, acknowledging that the Cydonia features are hundreds to thousands of times larger than other targets and should be capturable by the Mars Global Surveyor camera. Hoagland credits the audience's massive fax campaign to NASA administrator Dan Goldin for forcing this concession.Despite the breakthrough, Hoagland expresses deep skepticism about receiving an honest test. He cites the McDaniel Report's documentation of NASA deception and the absence of independent oversight as recommended by Dr. Stan McDaniel. Art proposes the Planet of the Apes scenario, where authorities suppress knowledge of prior civilizations to protect current society. Hoagland counters with the career-preservation motive: once the lie was established decades ago, those who built careers upon it became obligated to maintain it.

April 4, 1998: Cities On Mars - Richard C. Hoagland

Apr 43h 43mRichard C. Hoagland

Richard C. Hoagland, former museum space science curator and NASA consultant, joins Art Bell in the first hour to present his Cities on Mars claims about Cydonia, Mars Odyssey color infrared data, and possible intelligently designed artifacts. Hoagland presents what he calls near-certain evidence of architectural ruins beneath the surface of Mars, derived from daytime color infrared data captured by the Themis camera aboard the Mars Odyssey spacecraft. The thermal imaging penetrates through fine dust particles that have accumulated to depths rivaling the Grand Canyon, revealing geometric patterns of structures below.Image processing specialist Keith Laney, who performs work for NASA's Mars Web Program, explains how he acquired the data and processed it using advanced multispectral software from Kodak's Research Systems division. He describes being guided to the pristine image by a NASA-affiliated figure using the screen name BAMF, later identified as Noel Gorlick, manager of the Themis computation center at Arizona State University. Comparisons between Laney's processed version and the publicly released version reveal significant degradation in the official data.Art examines the images on his website and declares without reservation that image number two depicts a city. A side-by-side comparison of downtown Cairo photographed from the air and the Cydonia infrared data shows striking similarity. Corroborating data from Russia's 1989 Phobos 2 mission displays the same grid-like patterns, and celestial alignment calculations place the site's origin at roughly 300,000 years ago.

#0410

April 8, 1998: Mars & Egypt - Graham Hancock

Apr 81h 21mGraham Hancock

Art Bell welcomes bestselling author Graham Hancock live from Great Britain to discuss Mars, ancient Egypt, and the cataclysmic dangers facing Earth. Hancock shares his analysis of the controversial new Mars Global Surveyor photographs of the face on Mars, calling the rush to dismiss them premature and arguing that only a manned landing can settle the debate. He draws parallels to the disputed underwater monument at Yonaguni, Japan, where two qualified geologists reached opposite conclusions after diving the site together.The conversation turns to the mysteries of Giza, where Hancock describes spending six hours with Dr. Zahi Hawass at the Sphinx and reports a new spirit of openness from Egyptian authorities. He discusses the high-speed drill evidence found by Flinders Petrie and Chris Dunn, the puzzling decision to close the Great Pyramid for eight months, and Edgar Cayce's 1998 prediction regarding the Hall of Records.Hancock warns that Earth faces a clear and present danger from giant comet fragments on an Earth-crossing orbit, a threat he traces through the cataclysmic history of Mars itself. He predicts a potential impact event before the year 2030 and urges humanity to heed the warnings encoded in ancient monuments worldwide.

#0411

April 9, 1998: Earthquake Updates - Jim Berkland

Apr 91h 55mJim Berkland

Art Bell welcomes geologist Jim Berkland for a wide-ranging discussion covering the Mars face controversy, earthquake prediction, and a breaking allegation from Richard C. Hoagland. Berkland, a fellow of the Geological Society of America with 35 years of field experience, calls the new Mars Global Surveyor photograph of the face a "technological fraud," arguing that the image was deliberately degraded. He notes that previous strips from the same camera showed far superior quality, making the poor Cydonia image inexplicable.Hoagland joins mid-show with explosive claims backed by pixel analysis. He reports that the raw image was reduced from 2,048 pixels to 1,024, effectively halving the resolution, and that the grayscale was compressed to just 42 shades. He calls this a "smoking gun" of data tampering, matching CCD fingerprint streaks from earlier orbits to prove the image was copied and degraded before release.Berkland then turns to earthquake prediction, noting a spike in missing pet ads in the Los Angeles Times and elevated numbers in Seattle. He discusses the link between El Nino years and major California earthquakes, tidal forces during the full moon, and his own track record, including his newspaper-published forecast of the 1989 World Series earthquake.

April 10, 1998: NDEs, OBEs, & Lucid Dreams - Dr. J. Timothy Green

Apr 102h 53mDr. J. Timothy Green

Clinical psychologist Dr. J. Timothy Green joins Art Bell to discuss near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, and lucid dreaming after a first-hour weather update from Stan Dale in Australia. Dale notes rising sea surface temperatures east of Japan and warns that the pattern mirrors the early stages of the previous cycle. The conversation touches on the connection between solar activity and ocean heating, drought conditions in Western Australia, and the importance of securing fresh water supplies.Green presents compelling evidence for the reality of NDEs, noting that children who have them consistently report seeing only deceased relatives and never living parents. Dr. Green argues that NDEs, OBEs, and lucid dreams are all forms of what the ancients called ecstasy, the experience of conscious awareness outside the physical body.Dr. Green describes his mastery of lucid dreaming and explains how he teaches it as a therapeutic tool for clients facing terminal illness. He recounts a case where shamanic journeying produced verifiable information from a deceased person and discusses the connection between these experiences and the right temporal lobe of the brain.

April 13, 1998: Surviving Cataclysm - Ted Wright

Apr 132h 53mTed Wright

Art Bell opens with news updates, a preview of the week's upcoming guests, and open lines before welcoming Ted Wright, author of Wright's Complete Disaster Survival Manual, a book on FEMA's recommended reading list. A World War II survivor who endured the London Blitz as a child, Wright brings decades of practical experience to the subject of civilian preparedness in an age of tornadoes, earthquakes, and nuclear threats.Wright argues that the American public is dangerously unprepared for major disasters, noting the absence of underground shelters in tornado-prone areas and the lack of any viable evacuation plan for major cities. He criticizes the government's approach to nuclear safety, revealing that FEMA concluded it was cheaper to pay for thyroid surgeries than to stockpile potassium iodide pills near the nation's 109 nuclear plants. He also discusses the ongoing crisis at Chernobyl, where fissionable material continues to sink toward the water table.The conversation covers practical survival topics including water storage, food preservation methods drawn from pioneer-era practices, and the use of Geiger counters to monitor radiation. Wright warns that deteriorating farmland soil combined with extreme weather could trigger food shortages, and he stresses that self-reliance is the only reliable survival strategy.

#0414

April 14, 1998: Mars Images - Richard C. Hoagland & Dr. Tom Van Flandern

Apr 142h 44mRichard C. Hoagland

Art Bell opens with a personal tribute to his late cousin Frederick Lenz before turning to a historic night of Mars analysis with Richard C. Hoagland and astronomer Dr. Tom Van Flandern. The discussion centers on Dr. Mark Carlotto's new enhancement of the Mars Global Surveyor face image, which corrects for the low viewing angle and reveals previously hidden facial details including an eyebrow ridge, nostrils, a pupil in the eye socket, and a distinctive mouth curl.Dr. Van Flandern presents his statistical analysis, concluding that the odds of these features appearing by chance in their correct size, shape, and orientation are approximately one in a billion. He declares this the strongest conclusion of his 35-year career. Hoagland adds that fractal analysis reveals complex rectilinear substructures on the mesa, suggesting an architectural origin rather than natural erosion.The program also covers the just-received second Cydonia imaging pass over the area known as the city. Geologist Ron Nix joins to confirm geometric patterns inconsistent with natural processes. Hoagland identifies what he calls an obviously technological object amid the ruins and notes that President Clinton's visit to NASA that same day may signal a move toward disclosure.

#0415

April 16, 1998: Conspiracy Theory Movie - Bruce Wallace

Apr 1644mBruce Wallace

Art Bell welcomes Bruce Wallace, who claims to be the real-life inspiration for the Mel Gibson character in the film Conspiracy Theory and the ghostwriter of the original screenplay. Wallace says his manuscripts were plagiarized by Hollywood after the CIA censored his work, and he holds Writer's Guild registrations predating the movie's copyright.Wallace describes joining the Marines in 1974 and being recruited into a secret intelligence unit connected to MK Ultra and Project Phoenix. He alleges he was tasked with identifying double agents who had infiltrated classified communication centers at Camp Pendleton and elsewhere. He claims the programs involved mind control conditioning, drug smuggling cover-ups, and the elimination of witnesses who threatened to expose the operations.Art presses Wallace on how he has survived decades of alleged assassination attempts and why he remains alive if powerful forces truly want him silenced. Wallace says he relies on a network of allies and refuses to live in fear. A caller then phones in claiming firsthand knowledge of military drug distribution channels, adding an unexpected layer to the evening's conversation.

April 17, 1998: Taking the Quantum Leap - Dr. Fred Alan Wolf

Apr 172h 49mDr. Fred Alan Wolf

Theoretical physicist Dr. Fred Alan Wolf joins Art Bell to discuss Taking the Quantum Leap, quantum physics, consciousness, parallel universes, and time travel after Linda Moulton Howe's Cydonia update. Howe interviews Dr. Mark Carlotto about the new Mars Global Surveyor photograph of the Cydonia face, and Carlotto explains how differences in sun angle and camera position between the 1976 Viking image and the 1998 photograph account for the apparent changes in the face's appearance. He demonstrates that when the Viking data is reprojected to match the new viewing conditions, features align remarkably well, including nostril details and a strikingly symmetrical platform.Wolf's fascination with physics began as a child watching footage of the first atomic explosion. He discusses the Big Bang, parallel universes, and time travel, arguing that consciousness itself may hold the key to breaking the barriers of space and time. He describes lucid dreaming as a potential gateway to parallel realities and suggests that the brain contains a projection mechanism that sends sensory information backward through time.Wolf shares his unconventional career path, including leaving a tenured faculty position to pursue independent research connecting quantum physics with ancient mystical traditions. He and Art explore SETI, faster-than-light travel, and the possibility that breaking the light barrier would open contact with other civilizations.

April 20, 1998: We Never Went to the Moon - Wayne Green

Apr 202h 35mWayne Green

Art Bell welcomes Wayne Green, veteran ham radio publisher and technology pioneer, for a wide-ranging conversation that begins with health controversies before veering into one of the most provocative claims in modern history. Wayne argues that the Apollo moon landings were faked, citing the absence of stars in lunar photographs, questions about dust behavior in a vacuum, concerns about radiation beyond the Van Allen belts, and the lack of sound delay in astronaut communications with Houston.Art pushes back on each point, offering counterarguments about camera exposure limitations and kinetic energy in low gravity. A caller named Terry O'Grady then phones in claiming he transported 800 pounds of rocks from Antarctica aboard the USS Glacier, rocks he says were addressed to NASA. Art is visibly shaken by the implications, noting that if the moon landings were fabricated, every foundational belief about the American government would be called into question.The conversation shifts dramatically when Wayne reveals his belief in reincarnation, past-life regression, and the idea that angels may be projections of our own consciousness operating outside linear time. The two also discuss the decline of ham radio, plant sentience experiments, and Wayne's proposals for education reform.

April 22, 1998: The Kent Interview - Richard C. Hoagland & David John Oates

Apr 221h 26mRichard C. Hoagland, David John Oates

Art Bell presents the results of an investigation into "Kent," a man who previously appeared on the program claiming to be a fired JPL courier who had seen clear photographs of artificial structures on Mars. Richard C. Hoagland details the days of follow-up communication with Kent, describing escalating panic calls from phone booths across multiple states and repeated failures to produce employment documentation.Hoagland explains that parallel investigations by MSNBC contacts and a forensic researcher in Hawaii turned up no records of a Kent Smith at JPL and no evidence of the FedEx shipments Kent described. The breakthrough came when David John Oates performed reverse speech analysis on the original interview tape. The reversals revealed phrases suggesting a hidden agenda, references to a group conspiracy, and what Oates identifies as speech patterns matching other NASA insiders previously analyzed.When Hoagland confronted Kent with these findings, Kent reportedly admitted he was part of a disinformation campaign targeting Art Bell and Hoagland. Kent then called the program himself, confirming the confession and claiming he worked for a government agency. He told Art that his superiors were surprised the deception was uncovered so quickly.

April 24, 1998: Remote Viewing - Ed Dames | Mars Images - Richard C. Hoagland

Apr 243h 19mEd Dames, Richard C. Hoagland

Art Bell opens with the arrival of the third set of Cydonia photographs from the Mars Global Surveyor. Richard C. Hoagland reports that enhanced images of the main pyramid reveal extraordinary rectilinear geometry resembling room-sized cells viewed from above, consistent with his long-standing hypothesis that the structures are massive arcologies built by an ancient Martian civilization. Though the camera missed the fort, the strip captured stunning detail across the city complex and pyramids.Remote viewer Major Ed Dames then joins the program with updates on several predictions. He announces that the plant pathogen he previously warned about has been identified as a new genus of fungus now dispersing over Africa, with trade winds expected to carry spores toward Latin America. He also discusses the increasingly dire situation in North Korea, where reports of cannibalism and aggressive military rhetoric align with his prediction about the next use of a nuclear weapon on the Korean Peninsula.Dames describes his prediction about the jet stream dropping to ground level as now confirmed by meteorological research, and he reveals that remote viewing of the Cydonia region consistently draws viewers to a tetrahedral structure that appears to contain an electromechanical device connected to time travel.

April 27, 1998: New Mars Images - Dr. Tom Van Flandern

Apr 2742mDr. Tom Van Flandern

Art Bell welcomes astronomer Dr. Tom Van Flandern to discuss newly enhanced images of the Cydonia region on Mars. Van Flandern holds a doctorate from Yale in celestial mechanics and has spent his career studying the moon and planets. He shares his reaction to the latest photographs from Mars Global Surveyor, which Art describes as the first images that made the anomalous features visible even to his untrained eye.The conversation covers features found across three photographic strips of Cydonia, including structures with right angles, symmetry, and building-like characteristics that Van Flandern says are unlike anything seen elsewhere in the solar system. He explains that the odds against the facial features arising naturally exceed a billion to one, based on fulfilled predictions confirmed by the higher-resolution imagery. He also discusses competing cosmological models and his skepticism of the Big Bang theory.Van Flandern warns that NASA must photograph Cydonia again within months before the orbit shifts to higher altitudes and sun angles worsen. He notes that the next two Mars missions carry no cameras, meaning this window may be the only chance to resolve the question of artificiality in their lifetimes.

April 28, 1998: Present Trends - Barbara Marx Hubbard

Apr 282h 2mBarbara Marx Hubbard

Art Bell interviews futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard about her book "Conscious Evolution" and her vision for humanity's potential future. Hubbard describes herself not as an optimist but as a "potentialist" who identifies positive possibilities emerging from current global crises. She frames the planetary crisis as a birth process for the next stage of human evolution and argues that humanity stands at a crossroads between self-destruction and transformation into a universal species.The discussion spans a wide range of topics including space exploration and the stalled manned program since Apollo, the environmental movement and its struggle against fossil fuel interests, renewable energy and zero-point energy research, the population crisis, and the awakening of feminine creativity. Hubbard introduces her concept of "supra sex" as the arousal of creative purpose beyond reproduction. She and Art find common ground on the idea that humanity has passed a point of no return but disagree on the likely outcome.Callers challenge Hubbard from religious and skeptical perspectives. Art reads a breaking report about a battleship-sized UFO tracked by the RAF at 24,000 miles per hour over the North Sea. The conversation touches on the role of the internet in empowering individuals and the need for an evolutionary vision to replace humanity's current lack of direction.

April 29, 1998: Alien Contact - Dr. Albert Harrison

Apr 292h 40mDr. Albert Harrison

Art Bell speaks with UC Davis psychology professor Dr. Albert Harrison about his book "After Contact: The Human Response to Extraterrestrial Life." Harrison brings expertise in the psychological and sociological dimensions of space exploration and serves on the SETI Committee of the International Academy of Astronautics. The conversation examines what would actually happen to human society if contact with extraterrestrial intelligence were confirmed.Harrison discusses the protocols SETI has developed for handling a confirmed signal, acknowledging concerns that government agencies could quickly take control of the process. He addresses the 1960 Brookings Report finding that scientists, politicians, the mentally ill, and religious fundamentalists would be the groups most disrupted by such a discovery. Art raises the issue that 20 percent of his mail comes from religious fundamentalists who would view any alien life as demonic. Harrison argues that democratic societies tend to move away from war and that advanced civilizations likely would have evolved beyond conflict.The program also covers the psychological challenges of extended spaceflight, whether humans can conceive in space, and the dangers of technology transfer between civilizations of vastly different advancement levels. Harrison suggests that meeting on neutral ground like the moon could help manage the risks of physical contact.

April 30, 1998: UFO Disclosure - Stephen Bassett & Dr. Steven M. Greer

Apr 302h 42mStephen Bassett, Dr. Steven M. Greer

Art Bell hosts UFO lobbyist Stephen Bassett and Dr. Steven M. Greer of C-SETI for a wide-ranging discussion about the state of UFO disclosure. Bassett announces the launch of his Paradigm Research Group website featuring the "Paradigm Clock," modeled after the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists' Doomsday Clock, tracking proximity to formal government acknowledgment of an extraterrestrial presence. He also discusses White House correspondent Sarah McClendon's continued investigation into UFO secrecy.Dr. Greer describes C-SETI's two main programs: the Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind Initiative training teams worldwide to attempt real-time communication with UFOs, and Project Starlight's effort to identify top-secret military witnesses and brief senior government officials. He recounts briefing CIA Director James Woolsey, who reportedly said he could not penetrate the secrecy surrounding UFO-related programs despite heading the intelligence community. Greer reveals that a key witness was spirited away before congressional briefings to prevent testimony about plans to use back-engineered alien reproduction vehicles to stage a false invasion scenario.Greer calls for a privatized civilian disclosure process involving primetime documentaries and a global press conference featuring dozens of top-secret witnesses, estimating the effort would cost roughly two million dollars. He reports having over 150 identified military and intelligence witnesses ready to come forward.

May 1, 1998: Spy Satellites - Ron Regehr & Derrel Sims

May 12h 44mRon Regehr, Derrel Sims

Art Bell brings together spy satellite designer Ron Regehr and former CIA operative Derrel Sims for a discussion about what U.S. surveillance satellites have detected in Earth's atmosphere. Both guests report sudden unexplained telephone outages just before airtime. Regehr explains the five degrees of satellite image resolution and reveals that by 1978, sensors could resolve objects down to four-tenths of an inch, with current technology likely an order of magnitude better.Regehr shares data obtained through the Freedom of Information Act showing 316 "fast walker" detections recorded between 1973 and 1992 by geosynchronous orbit sensors. These objects displayed time-intensity profiles that could not be matched to any known aircraft or natural phenomena. He also describes a 1964 incident in which an Atlas F ICBM launched from Vandenberg was filmed being destroyed by a UFO that circled it and fired light beams at the missile. The Soviet Union expressed concern that mass UFO transitions could trigger false identification as a missile attack.Sims discusses his discovery of the pilots who intercepted UFOs over Washington, D.C. in 1952, revealing they were threatened into silence after landing. He describes collaboration with Regehr to correlate abduction cases with satellite detection data, potentially proving UFO presence at abduction locations during reported events. Both guests also question why Mars imagery appears deliberately degraded compared to known satellite capabilities.

May 4, 1998: Vatican Murders - Father Malachi Martin

May 42h 25mFather Malachi Martin

Art Bell welcomes Father Malachi Martin to discuss the brutal murder of exorcist Father Alfred Kunz, found with his throat slashed in Wisconsin in what Martin identifies as a Satanist-inflicted killing. Martin reports a 750 percent increase in demonic possession cases since the early 1970s, including disturbing new patterns of young professionals making deliberate pacts with Satan and children as young as six showing signs of possession.The conversation shifts to breaking news of a shocking triple death inside Vatican walls, where a Swiss Guard member apparently killed his commander and the commander's wife before turning the gun on himself. Martin connects the violence to a broader spiritual crisis under Pope John Paul II's papacy, describing the Pope as a tragic and isolated figure surrounded by hostility from his own entourage.Martin discusses the Pope's controversial ecumenical outreach, including meetings with voodoo priests and Hindu rituals, suggesting these actions have drawn unwanted demonic attention to the Vatican. He addresses the signs of the Antichrist from scripture, the Vatican's growing interest in extraterrestrial life, and the possibility that profound upheaval awaits the Catholic Church in the years ahead.

#0426

May 7, 1998: UFOs & Government Knowledge - Robert O. Dean

May 73h 17mRobert O. Dean

Art Bell welcomes retired Command Sergeant Major Robert O. Dean, who spent 27 years in the U.S. Army and held a cosmic top-secret clearance at NATO's Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe. Dean describes a classified 1964 NATO study called "The Assessment" that concluded Earth has been under survey by multiple extraterrestrial civilizations for a very long time. He reveals seeing autopsy photographs of 12 identical small beings recovered from a crashed 30-meter disc in northern Germany.Dean shares a stunning account from Minot, North Dakota in 1981, where a UFO allegedly lifted the 20-ton silo door off a Minuteman missile, scrambled its guidance computer, and melted the uranium-plutonium warhead. He claims three witnesses are willing to testify before Congress about the incident. Similar events reportedly occurred at Soviet missile sites, suggesting a deliberate warning against nuclear weapons.The discussion turns to government secrecy and disinformation campaigns surrounding UFOs. Dean advocates for open congressional hearings and credits Art Bell's program as part of an ongoing disclosure process. He expresses his belief that humanity is being prepared for something extraordinary and that friendly intelligences are watching over the planet.

May 8, 1998: Earth Change Prophecy - Lori Toye

May 83h 7mLori Toye

Art Bell speaks with Lori Toye about her prophetic "I Am America" map, born from recurring visions she experienced beginning in 1983. In those visions, four white-robed beings she identifies as Ascended Masters presented a detailed future map of the United States showing catastrophic earth changes. Over 80 meditation sessions conducted from 1988 onward, Toye received precise geographic details including new coastlines, submerged states, and massive inland waterways.The map depicts California, Nevada, and Utah completely underwater, with Arizona becoming the new Pacific coastline. The Mississippi and Missouri rivers widen into a vast bay, Lake Michigan disappears, and much of the East Coast breaks apart. Toye notes striking similarities between her map and those of Gordon Michael Scallion and Billy Meier. She describes five protected "Golden City Vortex" areas across the country that the masters identified as safe zones during the changes.Toye emphasizes that prophecy is not prediction but a spiritual teaching meant to inspire change. She discusses the sequential nature of the changes through a new six-map scenario and connects current extreme weather patterns, El Nino, and Antarctic ice shelf instability to the early stages of the prophesied transformation. Art openly shares his belief that these changes are underway and his acceptance of remaining at what Toye calls ground zero in southern Nevada.

May 11, 1998: The Coming Great Deception - Chuck Missler & Mark Eastman

May 112h 47mChuck Missler, Mark Eastman

Art Bell hosts Dr. Mark Eastman and Chuck Missler for a Christian perspective on the UFO phenomenon. Eastman, a family physician and ten-year UFO researcher, argues that the DNA molecule carries a digital error-correcting code far too complex to have arisen by chance, making a compelling case for intelligent creation over Darwinian evolution. He explains that left-handed amino acid exclusivity in living organisms creates a mathematical impossibility for random origin of life.Missler, a former Air Force branch chief of guided missiles who held deep security clearances, confirms the reality of well-funded government disinformation campaigns targeting the UFO field. He suspects the 1997 Phoenix lights may have been a military projection holography test from a classified non-lethal weapons program. Both men affirm that UFOs are real but argue the evidence points to interdimensional beings rather than extraterrestrials from other planets.The guests present their controversial thesis from the book "Alien Encounters," connecting the UFO phenomenon to Genesis Chapter 6 and the biblical account of supernatural beings interbreeding with humans. They argue that modern abduction reports involving genetic experimentation parallel these ancient accounts and suggest that a coming deception involving apparent extraterrestrial contact may fulfill biblical prophecy about the end times.

May 12, 1998: Bangor UFO - Peter Davenport | Open Lines

May 122h 45mPeter Davenport

Art Bell opens with alarming news of India's three nuclear detonations and the revelation that U.S. intelligence analysts were asleep when satellite imagery captured test preparations six hours before the blasts. He releases two controversial photographs he has held for months, asking listeners with satellite imagery expertise to help identify what they depict.Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center presents new developments in the Bangor, Washington UFO case from April 22, 1998. A witness in Poulsbo describes a 50-to-60-foot glowing disc with a black center hovering roughly 300 feet above the ground near the submarine base. The object was first spotted north of Seattle before streaking south, pausing over Bangor, then hooking east toward Yakima. A former Marine guard from the facility calls in to describe security protocols. Davenport reveals that a civilian official who initially confirmed the incident has reversed his account after media inquiries, and reports that a civilian videotape of the object may exist.During open lines, a listener named Sandy plays a chilling audio recording of a ghostly voice captured on her daughter's tape recorder in a house where a murder-suicide had previously occurred. The disembodied voice appears to whisper a short plaintive sentence that leaves Art visibly unsettled.

#0430

May 13, 1998: Poltergeists - Dr. Barry Taff

May 132h 53mDr. Barry Taff

Art Bell welcomes Dr. Barry Taff, a world-renowned parapsychologist who investigated more than 3,500 cases of ghosts, hauntings, and poltergeists during his 30-year career at UCLA's parapsychology laboratory. Dr. Taff recounts the real story behind the 1983 film The Entity, starring Barbara Hershey, which was based on his 1974 investigation of a woman named Doris in Culver City, California, who claimed repeated attacks by unseen forces.The team witnessed objects flying across rooms, photographed mysterious balls of lime-green light, and observed a half-bodied apparition that formed in front of multiple witnesses. Dr. Taff then describes an even more harrowing case from 1989 in San Pedro, where investigator Jeff Wheatcraft was physically attacked multiple times, including being strung up by a clothesline wrapped around his neck by an invisible force. Human blood plasma was found seeping from a kitchen cupboard.The program opens with Art discussing India's underground nuclear tests, the massive fires burning across Mexico and Guatemala, and the resulting smoke haze reaching the U.S. Art also shares news about Robert Bigelow's research funding efforts and considers the possible connections between paranormal phenomena and UFOs.

#0431

May 19, 1998: Mysterious UFO - Dr. Roger Leir & Derrel Sims

May 192h 45mDr. Roger Leir, Derrel Sims

Art Bell presents a packed evening beginning with Whitley Strieber and Mexican journalist Jaime Maussan reporting on the catastrophic wildfires engulfing Mexico and Central America. Maussan describes the worst environmental crisis in Mexican history, with smoke reaching from Albuquerque to Miami, underground fires burning invisibly beneath the surface, and volcanic activity intensifying at Popocatepetl. He draws connections between the volcano's location and persistent UFO sightings along Mexico's neo-volcanic axis.Dr. Roger Leir, Derrel Sims, and an anonymous general-class military officer known as General A then join the broadcast. They describe witnessing a brilliant golden object traverse the sky near the Rocketdyne facility on October 3, 1996. General A recounts returning to the site with military credentials and encountering elite special services personnel guarding a charred, intensely hot hillside. He reports being told a nuclear-powered craft had landed for repairs and departed.Multiple callers and fax reports corroborate the sighting from locations across the San Fernando Valley. General A states he received clearance to share these details publicly, suggesting a possible gradual disclosure effort. The Galaxy 4 satellite failure is also reported during the broadcast.

May 20, 1998: Super Collider Project - Paul Dixon

May 202h 43mPaul Dixon

Art Bell launches a 48-hour shortwave listening experiment on 6.890 megahertz, inviting extraterrestrial beings to transmit on the frequency while millions of listeners monitor with their receivers. He also presents a striking UFO photograph taken at a national veterans cemetery in Hawaii that he considers one of the best unexplained images he has received.Professor Paul Dixon of the University of Hawaii, a three-time Nobel Prize nominee, joins to warn that high-energy particle physics experiments at Fermilab near Chicago could trigger a catastrophic transition into what physicists call de Sitter space, an adjacent dimension containing energy densities vast enough to produce a supernova on Earth. Such an event would vaporize not only the planet but the entire solar system and everything within 50 light years. Dixon explains that he previously helped convince Fermilab's director to keep the accelerator 10 percent below full power for a decade.With Fermilab planning to increase energies tenfold by 1999, Dixon urges the public to pressure Congress and demand a thorough safety review before the upgraded accelerator comes online. He argues that Type Ia supernovae observed in distant space may themselves be evidence of advanced civilizations that accidentally triggered this same catastrophic physics.

#0433

May 25, 1998: Y2K - Gary North

May 252h 37mGary North

Art Bell interviews Gary North, a prolific author and economist who has spent years documenting the Year 2000 computer problem. North lays out a cascading failure scenario rooted in the original programming shortcut of using two-digit dates on 1950s punch cards, a practice that spread throughout decades of mainframe code and embedded systems. He reports that no major bank, airline, public utility, or military system in the United States has achieved full Y2K compliance.North predicts bank runs beginning in the second half of 1999, triggered first by Japan and Canada rolling into fiscal year 2000 on April 1. He warns that the interconnected nature of modern banking means even compliant institutions will be reinfected by non-compliant data from partner systems. The FAA's outdated routing computers face shutdown, and the electrical power grid, dependent on computerized coal shipments by non-compliant railroads, could experience prolonged blackouts.Drawing from his own preparations on 60 acres with natural gas wells and generators, North advises listeners to stockpile food, secure water sources independent of electrical pumps, and keep cash in small bills. He argues the collapse of electronic payment systems would bring the modern division of labor to a halt, potentially lasting years if the power grid fails beyond 60 days.

#0434

May 26, 1998: Weather & Planetary Changes - Richard C. Hoagland

May 262h 40mRichard C. Hoagland

Art Bell welcomes Richard C. Hoagland for a wide-ranging discussion connecting weather anomalies, volcanic activity, school violence, and animal behavior through the lens of hyperdimensional physics. Hoagland argues that the geometry discovered at Cydonia on Mars points to a century-old branch of physics pioneered by Maxwell and Kelvin, suggesting that energy from higher dimensions flows into our reality through rotating planetary bodies and their changing configurations.Hoagland presents laboratory evidence that the gravitational constant, long assumed to be fixed, has shown measurable deviations of six-tenths of one percent across experiments conducted in New Zealand and Germany. He contends that if fundamental constants like gravity are not truly constant, then cosmological models built on those assumptions, including redshift-based distance measurements and dark matter theory, may be fundamentally flawed. He also questions whether the December gamma ray burst was truly 12 billion light years away.Connecting these ideas to current events, Hoagland notes that Popocatepetl volcano sits precisely at 19.5 degrees latitude, the key angle predicted by his model for peak hyperdimensional energy transfer. He suggests that rising sea levels, intensifying hurricanes, El Nino, and even unusual animal behavior are all manifestations of a long-period cycle driven by undiscovered outer planets approaching a peak configuration.

#0435

May 27, 1998: Hopi Prophecies - Robert Ghost Wolf

May 272h 39mRobert Ghost Wolf

Art Bell welcomes Robert Ghost Wolf, a Metis of mixed Native American and European descent, to discuss the Seven Thunders, a series of prophetic warnings compiled from elders across multiple tribes including Hopi, Lakota, Algonquin, and Cherokee. Ghost Wolf explains that these prophecies were compared at a council in the Taos Mountains in the early 1980s and describe a sequence of escalating global crises.The first three thunders, which Ghost Wolf says have already occurred, encompass mass starvation ignored by the world, the arrival of Comet Hale-Bopp as a celestial marker, and the spread of mysterious fungal diseases linked to experimental agricultural chemicals sprayed on fields. He connects the smoke drifting from burning Mexican fields into the United States to contaminated crops carrying what he calls stealth viruses that attack at a frequency level.Ghost Wolf reveals that the prophecies have now reached the fourth and fifth thunders, a point of no return marked by catastrophic weather patterns, devil winds exceeding 200 miles per hour, and the collapse of social, religious, and financial structures worldwide. He announces that Hopi elders feel the changes are so imminent they have agreed to speak publicly on the program for the first time.

#0436

May 28, 1998: Dangerous Animals - Don Zaidle

May 282h 40mDon Zaidle

Art Bell speaks with wildlife expert and outdoor writer Don Zaidle about his book "American Man Killers," which documents the alarming increase in animal attacks on humans across North America. Zaidle explains that more predator attacks have been recorded in the past decade than in the preceding hundred years combined, driven by growing animal populations, more people venturing into wild areas, and animals losing their fear of humans.The conversation covers chilling accounts of mountain lion predation, including children snatched from yards and hikers found in kill beds. Zaidle describes how coyotes have attacked toddlers in suburban neighborhoods from Lake Tahoe to Los Angeles. He argues that even domestic dogs are responsible for millions of injuries annually and recounts cases of family pets killing infants and feeding on deceased owners. Ferrets, deer, and bears all receive attention as potential threats that the public vastly underestimates.Zaidle challenges the popular perception of animals as harmless creatures, criticizing organizations like PETA for fostering dangerous misconceptions. He contends that many missing persons, particularly children, may have been killed and consumed by wild predators, a possibility that officials routinely suppress to avoid alarming tourists and undermining wildlife funding.

#0437

June 02, 1998: Open Lines - Antichrist Hotline

Jun 22h 51m

Art Bell opens the program with wide-ranging discussion on current events, including the India-Pakistan nuclear tests and his strong suspicion that underground detonations triggered the devastating earthquake in Afghanistan. He challenges the mainstream media for refusing to even speculate about a connection, citing his own experience feeling nuclear test blasts sway buildings in Las Vegas from 90 miles away. Callers weigh in from across the continent, largely agreeing that the silence is suspicious.The broadcast takes its most memorable turn when Art dedicates a phone line exclusively to anyone who believes they are the Antichrist. The first caller describes a car accident that left a 666 scar visible on his skull in X-rays, a healing gift that has cured a dozen people, and a dying mother who revealed family ties to the Temple of the Golden Dawn. A second caller claims to be the genuine article, predicting a U.S. economic collapse in 2006 and describing himself as a private counterpart to the original public Christ.Between these extraordinary calls, Art announces that two Hopi elders have agreed to appear on the program June 15th because they believe earth changes are imminent. A caller who was mysteriously awakened by his ringing phone with no explanation provides one of the night's most unsettling moments.

June 03, 1998: Life After Death - Dr. Charles Tart

Jun 341mDr. Charles Tart

Art Bell interviews Dr. Charles Tart, the first holder of the Bigelow Chair of Consciousness Studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and a founding figure in transpersonal psychology. The two bond over their shared backgrounds in ham radio before Tart makes a bold declaration: five paranormal phenomena are proven beyond reasonable doubt. He names telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, psychokinesis, and healing as established through hundreds of experiments, criticizing colleagues who reject the evidence without examining it.Tart explains that the mind operates as a virtual reality generator, constructing experience from sensory input during waking hours and creating dream worlds during sleep. He describes experiments showing that psychological expectation shapes altered states of consciousness more powerfully than sensory deprivation itself. Art shares his experience with a software program called Shape Changer that demonstrates psychokinesis, reporting scores of 70 to 90 percent when concentrating versus 15 to 20 when absent.The discussion turns to survival after death, with Tart citing cases where deceased individuals communicated information no living person could have known. He argues that the mind is fundamentally different from the brain, noting that telepathy shows no inverse square law degradation with distance and may even be amplified inside electrically grounded Faraday cages.

June 08, 1998: Spirit Guides & Aliens - Brad Steiger

Jun 82h 36mBrad Steiger

Art Bell welcomes prolific author Brad Steiger, who has written over 140 books exploring the paranormal, UFOs, and spirituality. Steiger shares his foundational experience at age five when he caught a dark entity with enormous cat-like eyes peering through his family's farmhouse window in rural Iowa. Decades later, he encountered a woman from a neighboring town who had seen an identical being on the same October night, an experience that shaped both their lives.The conversation covers Steiger's near-death experience at age eleven, during which he saw geometric forms that communicated an ecstatic sense of meaning and purpose accompanied by cosmic sound. He connects this to similar accounts from other experiencers, including Gordon Michael Scallion. Steiger presents his unified theory that UFOs, ghosts, angels, spirit guides, and paranormal phenomena all originate from a single source, a perspective he acknowledges frustrates those who prefer neat categories.Steiger discusses his book "Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides," drawing parallels between Native American shamanic traditions and Western angelology. He recounts verified out-of-body experiments conducted live on ABC television and reveals that a mentor of his underwent medically controlled death experiences after surviving a morgue revival. Art and Steiger agree that prophecies of imminent earth changes are converging from every tradition they have studied.

#0440

June 09, 1998: Predictions - Gordon Michael Scallion

Jun 92h 34mGordon Michael Scallion

Art Bell welcomes futurist Gordon Michael Scallion to discuss his Earth change predictions and the visions that transformed his life. Scallion recounts how a sudden loss of his voice in 1979 led to a mystical hospital experience where a mysterious woman revealed future events to him. He describes his process of seeing three simultaneous "screens" showing probable futures for individuals and the planet.The conversation turns to Scallion's forecast for July 1998 and beyond. He warns of accelerating volcanic activity along the Ring of Fire, major earthquakes exceeding magnitude seven on the West Coast, and erratic weather patterns driven by changes in the sun's magnetic field. He explains that a magnetic pole shift is already underway, beginning in the 1930s, and predicts a series of six-to-seven degree magnetic jolts occurring over a three-year window that will trigger tectonic upheaval and massive weather disruptions.Scallion also addresses the deeper forces at work, connecting solar cycles to shifts in Earth's core plasma and the planet's magnetic envelope. He shares that he now sees only one screen remaining for the future, indicating these events have moved from probable to near certain. Callers press him on preparations, insurance concerns, and whether individual action can still lessen the severity of what lies ahead.

June 12, 1998: The Philadelphia Experiment - Al Bielek

Jun 122h 34mAl Bielek

Art Bell interviews Al Bielek, who claims to be a survivor of the Philadelphia Experiment, the Navy's 1943 attempt to render the USS Eldridge invisible. Bielek provides an extraordinarily detailed technical description of the Tesla-based technology used, including a rotating RF antenna system operating at 160 megahertz with four-phase amplitude modulation, paired with conical electromagnetic coils standing seven feet high and water-cooled to handle massive current loads.Bielek recounts the first test on July 22, 1943, which achieved optical and radar invisibility but left sailors on deck severely disoriented. He describes the disastrous second test on August 12, when Dr. John von Neumann's switch to a pulsed system at eight-megawatt peak power caused the ship to vanish entirely. Bielek says he and his brother Duncan jumped overboard and found themselves transported to 1983 at Montauk, Long Island, where an aged von Neumann sent them back to destroy the equipment with axes.The account includes sailors embedded in the ship's steel deck, personnel fading in and out of reality, and a government cover-up that declared the victims lost at sea. Bielek addresses his claimed age discrepancy by explaining he was born in 1916 as Ed Cameron and was later age-regressed and given a new identity. Callers challenge and question his extraordinary claims throughout the broadcast.

June 14, 1998: Toxic Chemical Waste - Linda Moulton Howe | Mind Control - Steven Jacobson

Jun 141h 59mLinda Moulton Howe, Steven Jacobson

Art Bell hosts a two-part Dreamland broadcast beginning with Linda Moulton Howe's report on environmental contamination in the Arctic. She interviews Canadian zoologist Dr. Andrew DeRocher about polar bear cubs discovered near Svalbard, Norway with both male and female sexual organs. The researchers link these abnormalities to extremely high concentrations of PCBs moving up the food chain through contaminated seal blubber, raising broader concerns about toxic chemicals affecting immune function and reproductive development across species, including humans.The second half features Steven Jacobson, creator of the audio series Mind Control in America, who argues that television inherently induces a hypnotic trance state through its flickering visual pattern at 30 frames per second. He contends that repeating graphics, newscaster speech patterns, and subliminal messaging techniques deepen viewer suggestibility. Jacobson claims there are no enforceable laws against subliminal advertising despite widespread public belief otherwise, citing the Library of Congress magazine Civilization as acknowledging the practice is commonplace.Jacobson connects media manipulation to economic pressures and educational shifts dating back to John Dewey's progressive reforms, which he says replaced intellectual development with socialization. He argues these combined forces amount to a coordinated psychological warfare campaign designed to produce a controllable population, contributing to the rise of youth violence and societal breakdown.

June 15, 1998: Hopi Elders Speak - Robert Ghost Wolf

Jun 152h 43mRobert Ghost Wolf

Art Bell broadcasts what he calls a first in national radio history as two Hopi elders from the Hopi Sinome join the program from Phoenix, Arizona, with Robert Ghost Wolf participating from the Black Hills of South Dakota. The elders' identities are concealed due to threats they have received for sharing these prophecies publicly. Grandfather One speaks in Hopi while Grandfather Two translates, explaining that ancient teachings passed down through careful oral tradition in the kivas have compelled them to come forward.The elders warn that three major events are approaching in close succession: extreme weather changes destroying crops, widespread starvation, and a third world war connected to what they call the purifier. Grandfather One states the weather disruptions now visible are the first signs, noting that crops on Hopi land were planted late and are being burned by erratic winds and frost. He places these events near the year 2000, describing them as a domino effect where each catastrophe triggers the next.Grandmother Hopi joins briefly to address the crisis among children, attributing it to mothers too busy working to teach spiritual values at home. The elders describe a coming purification after which the world will return to a state of harmony and simplicity. They emphasize that while prayer can lessen the severity of what approaches, it is already too late to prevent the changes entirely.

Jun 1643mGraham Hancock

Art Bell speaks with bestselling author Graham Hancock about the newly released Mars Global Surveyor photographs of the Face on Mars and the broader mysteries of the red planet. Hancock criticizes the media's rush to declare the controversy settled based on a single ambiguous image, arguing that only a manned landing on Mars will resolve the debate. He draws a parallel to the disputed underwater monument at Yonaguni, Japan, where two qualified geologists reached opposite conclusions after diving to the same structure.The discussion expands into Hancock's research for his forthcoming book on Mars. He describes the planet's line of dichotomy, a boundary where the northern hemisphere sits three kilometers lower than the devastated, crater-scarred south, as evidence of catastrophic bombardment by comet fragments. He connects this to the work of Victor Clube and others on giant comets, warning that Earth faces similar dangers that governments and scientists have failed to communicate to the public.Hancock also provides updates on the political landscape surrounding the Giza plateau, describing improved relations with Egyptian antiquities chief Dr. Zahi Hawass following a series of private meetings. He discusses the planned eight-month closure of the Great Pyramid and the possibility of investigations beneath the Sphinx, while noting that Edgar Cayce's readings pointed to 1998 as the year for a discovery of the Hall of Records.

June 21, 1998: Nuclear Contamination - Linda Moulton Howe | Synchronicity - Phil Cousineau

Jun 211h 53mLinda Moulton Howe, Phil Cousineau

Linda Moulton Howe reports on cesium-137 nuclear contamination in European steel, followed by author Phil Cousineau on synchronicity and his book "Soul Moments." Howe also covers the debate over asteroid tracking after the 1997 XF-11 scare, interviewing nuclear physicist Dr. Edward Taliaferri about planetary defense strategies and the Y2K computer threat.Cousineau joins to discuss his book "Soul Moments," exploring the distinction between ordinary coincidence and what Carl Jung termed synchronicity. He shares remarkable stories, including a shipwreck tale involving three survivors centuries apart all named Hugh Williams, and a personal experience where his estranged father sent him the same book he had just discovered, with identical favorite passages marked.Cousineau connects synchronicity to Joseph Campbell's philosophy of following one's bliss, suggesting that meaningful coincidences serve as confirmations of being on the right life path. Callers share their own uncanny experiences with dreams, animals, and chance encounters that changed their lives.

June 23, 1998: Earth Changes - Sean David Morton

Jun 232h 17mSean David Morton

Art Bell welcomes back self-described prophet Sean David Morton to review his remarkably accurate predictions from earlier broadcasts. Morton discusses his forecasts about President Clinton's political troubles, correctly predicting the Paula Jones case dismissal and emerging China scandals. He asserts that Clinton will leave office due to health problems and that China-related controversies, not sexual scandals, will ultimately be his undoing.The conversation shifts to earth changes, where Morton presents a theory linking the nuclear tests by India and Pakistan to earthquake activity on the opposite side of the globe, specifically along the New Madrid fault and in the Appalachian region. He describes his method of running his hands over maps to detect energy signatures and predict geological events. A listener emails during the broadcast confirming a 3.4 magnitude earthquake near Omaha, matching Morton's prediction about the antipodal effects of the Afghan quake.Morton also addresses the HAARP project, describing military applications including ionosphere hardening, jet stream manipulation, and potential weather modification. He forecasts severe heat waves across the American Southwest, massive wildfires in Colorado and California, and warns of coming power grid failures tied to electromagnetic shifts in the planet.

July 6, 1998: Synchronicity & The Celestine Prophecy - James Redfield

Jul 63h 19mJames Redfield

Art Bell returns from vacation in Paris and welcomes James Redfield, author of The Celestine Prophecy, for a wide-ranging discussion about spiritual consciousness and humanity's crossroads. Redfield argues that earth changes, environmental destruction, and social crises represent a collective wake-up call, and that individual spiritual awareness can genuinely alter outcomes. He shares a story about a single person's intuition saving ancient forests from clear-cutting legislation through an unlikely chain of events.The conversation examines the tension between growing spiritual awareness and accelerating materialism. Redfield contends that two people operating in higher consciousness can outweigh hundreds living in ordinary materialistic awareness. Art pushes back with concerns about the overwhelming forces of corporations and human nature, but Redfield maintains that heroic individuals within institutions can shift entire cultures from within.Redfield describes synchronicity as the central measure of spiritual consciousness, explaining that alert expectation and connection to higher self opens doorways of meaningful coincidence that guide people toward their true purpose. He reveals that during the 1998 Iraq crisis, a coordinated prayer vigil coincided with the peaceful resolution, suggesting that focused spiritual intention can influence world events.

July 7, 1998: Cloud Busting - Neil Slade

Jul 73h 23mNeil Slade

Art Bell welcomes brain researcher Neil Slade for an exploration of untapped human mental abilities, centered on the concept of cloud busting. Slade explains the three-layered structure of the brain: the reptile brain computing basic survival and self-defense, the mammal brain adding emotions and social behavior, and the frontal lobes handling creativity, intuition, and advanced consciousness. He argues that cultural conditioning keeps most people locked in reptile brain reactivity, leaving the vast frontal lobe circuitry dormant.Slade examines a mysterious photograph captured on Art's webcam during a previous broadcast with a Satanist caller, interpreting the anomalous light pattern as visible brain energy being released through the frontal lobes at a moment of profound psychological shift. He describes the amygdala as a gateway switch that directs neural energy either backward into defensive mode or forward into higher consciousness.The discussion turns to cloud busting, where Slade describes videotaping himself dissolving specific clouds through focused mental energy projected from the frontal lobes. He explains the technique requires a windless day and a calm meditative state. Art confirms his own experience using concentration to hit consecutive green traffic lights across Las Vegas, and references Princeton University research proving minds can influence random number generators.

July 10, 1998: The Maitreya - Benjamin Creme

Jul 102h 42mBenjamin Creme

Art Bell interviews Benjamin Creme, a Scottish artist and esoteric teacher who claims that Maitreya, the World Teacher awaited by all major religions, has been living in London since 1977. Creme describes his first contact with a master of wisdom in 1959, followed by a direct overshadowing experience from Maitreya in which he perceived all past and future events simultaneously. He states that Maitreya has appeared in various forms, including as a refugee woman on a London train and as a stranger in Berkeley, California.Creme attributes major world events to Maitreya's behind-the-scenes influence, including the end of the Cold War, German reunification, and the fall of apartheid in South Africa. He addresses the Antichrist question directly, arguing it refers to a destructive energy force rather than an individual, and that it already manifested through Hitler and the Axis powers. He predicts Maitreya will appear on a major American television network following a global stock market crash originating in Japan.Callers react with opinions ranging from enthusiastic support to deep suspicion. Art questions why a being of such power would need electronic media or newspaper advertisements, noting that a 1982 prediction of Maitreya's public declaration never materialized. A caller claiming to be the Antichrist himself predicts world awareness before 1999.

July 13, 1998: Exorcisms - Father Malachi Martin

Jul 132h 27mFather Malachi Martin

Art Bell welcomes Father Malachi Martin, eminent theologian and former Jesuit professor at the Vatican''s Pontifical Biblical Institute, for a sweeping discussion of the Roman Catholic Church''s decline and the reality of demonic possession. Martin describes how the Second Vatican Council fundamentally altered core Catholic doctrines on papal authority, marriage, and religious liberty, leading to widespread apostasy rather than mere schism. He warns that the institutional Church is on a downward slope, with practicing Catholics in Europe reduced to roughly five percent.The conversation turns to Martin''s book "Windswept House," a faction novel mirroring the career of Cardinal Casaroli and exposing what Martin calls Satanism within portions of the Vatican. He speaks candidly about the murders of three exorcists and acknowledges that his own safety has been in jeopardy for years. Martin confirms he read the Third Secret of Fatima in 1960 and calls it the defining event for the Church''s near future.Art reads a purported version of the Third Secret on air, and Martin confirms it contains some authentic elements but says the actual text is far more dire. Callers press Martin on free will, guardian angels, and the timeline for coming upheaval. He suggests that within eight years, the world will witness the worst of what the secret foretells.

#0451

July 14, 1998: Hyperdimensional Physics - Richard C. Hoagland

Jul 142h 11mRichard C. Hoagland

Art Bell welcomes Richard C. Hoagland for an expansive discussion of his newly published 50-page hyperdimensional physics paper and its implications for climate change, planetary science, and space exploration. Hoagland opens by questioning why Japan launched a Mars probe five months early into Earth parking orbit, speculating the Japanese may distrust NASA''s Cydonia photographs or fear their earthquake-prone launch site could be destroyed before the December transfer window opens.The conversation shifts to Hoagland''s central thesis that energy output across the solar system is governed by angular momentum and planetary alignments rather than conventional thermodynamics. He presents evidence that Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all radiate more energy than they receive from the sun, and that their luminosities plot on a straight line dependent solely on total spin energy. He predicts these luminosities will change over short timescales, a testable claim no one at NASA has yet investigated.Hoagland connects record-breaking heat waves, rapid El Nino-to-La Nina shifts, and Antarctic ice core data showing near-instantaneous climate reversals to his model. He argues that ancient pyramids may have functioned as hyperdimensional transducers on a global grid. The show also highlights Arizona politician Frances Barwood''s campaign and her courage in publicly demanding answers about the Phoenix Lights.

#0452

July 21, 1998: Andromeda - Alex Collier

Jul 212h 55mAlex Collier

Art Bell welcomes Alex Collier, who claims over 30 years of contact with a human race from the constellation of Andromeda. Collier describes his first experience in 1964 near Woodstock, Michigan, where he lost eight hours as a child and awoke aboard a craft with two beings named Morinay and Vissaeus. He says they showed him a review of his soul''s history spanning roughly 817 years across multiple lifetimes on Earth, Mars, and Venus.Collier presents the Andromedan perspective on human origins, asserting that our DNA carries the genetic heritage of 22 extraterrestrial races and that what scientists label junk DNA holds the key to unlocking racial memory. He claims Earth has been visited and colonized for 22 million years by various races including reptilians, plasma beings, and primates with space travel capability. He discusses how the Anunnaki genetically manipulated early humans and taught prejudice as a tool of division after a planetary rebellion.Art presses Collier on predictions for the coming decade, including the unlocking of genetic memory by 2007, a possible 17-degree pole shift, and an imminent mass daytime flyby by extraterrestrial craft. Collier outlines a protocol for greeting visitors as equals and shares the Andromedan view that human consciousness and the speed of thought are directly linked to the perception of light speed.

July 23, 1998: Out of Body Travel - Dr. Albert Taylor

Jul 233h 17mDr. Albert Taylor

Dr. Albert Taylor, aeronautical engineer and author of Soul Traveler, joins Art Bell to discuss out-of-body travel after a first-hour news and open-lines segment. Art opens with melting Antarctic glaciers, magnetic compass anomalies reported from Australia, and a bizarre fax about a mysterious P-38 pistol found on Mel Waters' property that fires silently and never needs cleaning.Art describes lying in a hotel room when, without any warning or the typical buzzing and paralysis associated with out-of-body accounts, he suddenly accelerated upward at tremendous speed. He found himself above Paris looking down on the Eiffel Tower, overwhelmed by an indescribable feeling of ecstasy and joy unlike anything in his prior experience. The sensation was so shocking that he snapped back almost immediately and woke his wife to tell her what had happened.Taylor explains that Art likely experienced a spontaneous etheric projection rather than a standard astral projection, noting the absence of a visible astral body and the profound rapture as indicators of a higher-level experience. He reassures Art that this state represents what consciousness feels like freed from the physical form and suggests the interrupted sleep pattern of vacation life combined with deep relaxation created the conditions for the event. Callers share their own encounters with soul travel and sleep paralysis.

#0454

July 27, 1998: UFO Phenomena - Whitley Strieber

Jul 272h 55mWhitley Strieber

Art Bell welcomes Whitley Strieber for a wide-ranging conversation that begins with worldwide volcanic unrest from Mount Etna to Popocatepetl and moves into Strieber''s most detailed account of a close encounter. Art debuts a night vision camera pointed toward Area 51 that captures live images of the desert sky every 30 seconds, while Strieber describes a June 6th visit from a small, elderly man who appeared fully human and walked into his Toronto hotel room after a knock on the door.The visitor spoke with extraordinary clarity and told Strieber that the world as we understand it is breaking apart, that the process is already irreversible, and that humanity stands at a transition as significant as when life first emerged from the oceans. He referenced the shift from the age of Pisces to Aquarius and suggested humans were created to survive this moment by expanding consciousness beyond three dimensions. Strieber notes remarkable parallels between this message and information Art received independently on a prior Dreamland broadcast about time travelers and forbidden archaeology.The encounter left Strieber temporarily able to perceive the thoughts of people around him, an unsettling ability that faded within hours. He discusses the implant still lodged in his ear that moved away from a surgeon''s scalpel during an attempted removal. Art and Strieber agree that waiting for outside rescue is futile and that humanity must rely on its own capacity to navigate what lies ahead.

July 29, 1998: Time Traveler Line

Jul 293h 15m

Art Bell opens a dedicated phone line for callers who claim to have physically traveled through time. Inspired by a recent Dreamland interview with Dr. Bruce Goldberg about time travelers living among us, Art reserves his wildcard number exclusively for those who say they arrived here via a machine or device.The calls range from provocative to outlandish. A caller named Jameson claims to be speaking from the year 2035 through a vortex and warns that President Clinton will be the last elected president before Congress is suspended. Another caller identifying as Night Cloud says he originates from 3050 and predicts devastating earth changes and a tsunami in the Pacific Northwest by the end of August. A self-described government agent from the future says he was sent back to prevent a world war by helping remove Clinton from office.Between the time traveler calls, Art reads a NASA study revealing that jet contrails may be creating massive cloud systems and contributing to climate change. He also shares a letter from his bank about Y2K preparations and discusses the GM strike resolution. The night becomes a freewheeling experiment in exploring whether the future is already written or still taking shape.

July 30, 1998: Time Travel - Single Seven

Jul 301h 6m

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.

August 3, 1998: Lost Nigerian Tribe - Efiong Sam

Aug 32h 55mEfiong Sam

Art Bell speaks with Efiong Sam, a Nigerian man who claims to be from a lost tribe of Israel located near the coast of Calabar in eastern Nigeria. Sam tells Art that God is alive on Earth, born in 1918 among his people, and that the time for divine judgment has arrived. He says this figure, known as Olumba Olumba Obu, has performed miracles including healing the blind and raising the dead.Sam explains that his tribe traces its ancestry back through Egypt to the original Israelites and that a delegation from the nation of Israel visited Calabar in November 1997. He says he traveled to the United States to deliver this message and to develop a screenplay about the end times for Hollywood. Art presses repeatedly for evidence and Sam points to biblical prophecy, the figure wearing a red garment, and eyewitness accounts of miraculous events.Richard C. Hoagland joins unexpectedly, revealing that Sam had contacted him the same day and that he had independently been planning a research trip to Africa. Hoagland notes the remarkable synchronicity and confirms that anthropological research by Robert Temple supports the historical migration of these tribes from Egypt through West Africa to Nigeria.

August 7, 1998: Area 51 Employee Lines

Aug 71h 12m

Art Bell dedicates all phone lines to current and former government employees willing to share experiences related to Area 51 and classified military operations. He opens with breaking news that over 1,850 federal workers are employed at the supposedly nonexistent base, citing a forthcoming Scripps Howard report on electromagnetic pulse weapons testing and underground facilities.A retired airborne engineer describes penetrating Area 51 security with a 40 percent success rate during exercises fifteen years prior. A former Palmdale defense contractor details working on the B-2 bomber and encountering an aluminum-titanium composite bound with an uncuttable silk fabric that could only be fabricated at Area 51. An archaeologist recounts hiking 100 miles into the restricted zone following the trail of the 1849 Death Valley wagon train, photographing Papoose Lake, and feeling sustained underground vibrations. A 15-year base operations veteran confirms seeing five star-like objects perform impossible maneuvers overhead but insists everything else at the facility involved classified but conventional military hardware.The broadcast climaxes when a frantic caller claiming a recent medical discharge from Area 51 warns about extradimensional beings infiltrating the military. Mid-sentence, the GE-2 satellite transmission fails completely in one of the most discussed moments in the history of the program.

August 10, 1998: Strategic Relocation - Joel Skousen

Aug 102h 28mJoel Skousen

Art Bell interviews Joel Skousen, a high-security designer and consultant who authored Strategic Relocation: North American Guide to Safe Places. Skousen identifies two primary strategic threats facing the United States: the Y2K computer crisis and a future nuclear attack from Russia that he believes Western elites are deliberately inviting.On Y2K, Skousen partially disagrees with Gary North, arguing that while computer systems will not be fully compliant, manual workarounds exist for most critical infrastructure. He warns that the real danger lies in social unrest during a potential two-week disruption period, particularly in dense urban areas like Los Angeles and the major East Coast cities. He recommends contingency planning over permanent relocation for the millennium transition.Skousen then presents his most provocative claim: that President Clinton signed directives removing the launch-on-warning nuclear doctrine, taking missiles off alert, and stripping submarine commanders of autonomous launch authority. Art expresses deep skepticism until his webmaster locates a corroborating statement from Robert Bell of the National Security Council on armscontrol.org. Skousen names twelve high-risk U.S. cities near major military targets and identifies the Intermountain West as the safest region in North America for long-term strategic relocation.

August 16, 1998: Mass Deaths of Species, Colorado Sightings - Linda Moulton Howe | Ghosts - Barry Taff

Aug 162h 53mLinda Moulton Howe, Barry Taff

Art Bell welcomes investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe to report on the alarming disappearance of amphibians across the United States, where one third of frog, toad, and salamander populations have vanished. Linda connects the crisis to increased ultraviolet radiation from ozone depletion, water pollution, and radium contamination found in New Jersey wells. She also shares eyewitness accounts of orange glowing spheres observed near Pinon Canyon, Colorado, an area with a long history of unusual aerial phenomena and animal mutilations.Parapsychologist Dr. Barry Taff then joins to discuss his 30 years investigating ghosts, hauntings, and poltergeists. Taff reveals his own lifelong psychic abilities, including the capacity to diagnose medical conditions in strangers, a talent that both fascinated and frightened those around him since childhood. His experiences led him to the UCLA parapsychology laboratory, where he became both researcher and research subject.Taff recounts extraordinary cases from his career, including the Hollymont haunting where thousands of coins rained from a ceiling, and a Hyde Park investigation where the apparition of a deceased homeowner physically attacked him before dissolving. He examines the evidence for survival of consciousness after death, weighing whether ghosts represent genuine discarnate intelligence or projections of the living human psyche.

August 19, 1998: NDE's - Dr. Jeff Long & Trisha McGill | Cassini Launch - Karl Grossman

Aug 193h 16mDr. Jeff Long, Trisha McGill, Karl Grossman

Art Bell opens with investigative journalist Karl Grossman and environmental activist Jim Warren to discuss a disturbing anonymous phone message received by Warren's organization. A caller identifying himself as a project engineer claims that the failed Titan IV rocket launch on August 12th carried a plutonium-powered RTG device aboard a classified Vortex satellite, and that the Air Force detonation command dispersed 20 pounds of plutonium into particulate matter at 20,000 feet off the Florida coast. The claim remains unverified, but Grossman presents documented government reports showing that the upcoming Cassini space probe flyby could release its 72 pounds of plutonium in respirable particles if the gravity assist maneuver fails.In the second half, clinical psychologist Dr. Trisha McGill and radiation oncologist Dr. Jeff Long discuss near-death experiences. McGill shares detailed NDE accounts featuring verifiable out-of-body observations, including a patient who identified a red warning sticker on the hidden side of a ceiling fan. Dr. Long notes the remarkable consistency of NDE elements across diverse cultures and religious backgrounds.The conversation touches on a mysterious substance known only as "Drug X" that may chemically induce near-death experiences, a prospect McGill expresses willingness to personally investigate.

August 26, 1998: The Y2K Problem - Edward Yourdon

Aug 262h 31mEdward Yourdon

Software engineering consultant Edward Yourdon, author of Time Bomb 2000, joins Art Bell to break down the Y2K computer crisis from the programming side after live Hurricane Bonnie coverage from North Carolina. Art takes calls from residents enduring 100-mile-per-hour winds and widespread power outages affecting 240,000 people. He also reports on a severe geomagnetic storm caused by solar winds exceeding one million miles per hour, noting unusual observations about the sun appearing intensely white with no visible yellow component.Yourdon explains that programmers in the 1960s deliberately truncated year fields to two digits, assuming the software would be replaced long before 2000. He reports that according to metrics expert Capers Jones, the point of no return for fixing the problem passed at the beginning of 1998, with only 25 percent of programmers at major companies currently assigned to Y2K work. He identifies the "iron triangle" of utilities, telecommunications, and banking as the critical systems at risk, revealing that zero out of 7,300 U.S. utility companies are currently Y2K compliant.Yourdon shares his personal preparations, including leaving the stock market and relocating from New York City to Taos, New Mexico. He predicts regional blackouts, dirty power conditions lasting weeks, and a recession potentially rivaling the Great Depression.

August 26, 1998: Remote Viewing - Ed Dames

Aug 262h 21mEd Dames

Art Bell hosts remote viewer Major Ed Dames, who had urgently faxed the show days earlier with a warning he wanted broadcast immediately. Dames reminds listeners that roughly two years prior, he predicted a global economic collapse arriving in late spring or summer of 1998 and asserts that the prediction has now materialized. He warns that people fleeing the stock market into U.S. government bonds are making a grave mistake, claiming his remote viewing data shows the United States will default on both interest payments and the bonds themselves.The conversation shifts to the sun, where Dames describes a creeping rise in baseline X-ray flux that concerns him deeply. He connects increasing solar radiation to agricultural devastation, blinded bee populations, and a coming wave of plant pathogens targeting global food crops. Dames predicts millions will die of starvation in 1999, followed by fast-spreading human disease epidemics. He reaffirms his prediction that a catastrophic solar event he calls the "kill shot" remains on the horizon.Richard C. Hoagland briefly joins, citing sources who claim the North Korean missile test was actually a failed attempt to strike a Japanese nuclear reactor. Dames disputes this interpretation, arguing the launch was simply a ballistic test. Dames also provides an update on his search for Amelia Earhart's Lockheed Electra, which he says remote viewing has located underwater near a Micronesian atoll.

September 1, 1998: Gulf Breeze - Richard C. Hoagland & Vance Davis

Sep 11h 44mRichard C. Hoagland, Vance Davis

Art Bell welcomes Richard C. Hoagland and former NSA analyst Vance Davis for a wide-ranging discussion that begins with the mysterious North Korean missile launch over Japan. Davis, one of the "Gulf Breeze Six" military intelligence personnel who went AWOL in 1990, claims current sources inside intelligence agencies told him the missile firing was a deliberate scare tactic aimed at a Japanese nuclear facility rather than a simple test. Hoagland supports this assessment based on his own separate sourcing.Davis recounts how he was recruited into the NSA at age 18 after the agency discovered his childhood training in Silva Mind Control. He describes being tested for psychic abilities including telepathy and psychokinesis. The conversation turns to the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the Gulf Breeze Six case, in which Davis and five fellow intelligence analysts went AWOL from their post in Augsburg, Germany, were jailed for 21 days, then released with honorable discharges after a call from the White House. Davis suggests the charges were dropped because a trial would have exposed classified information about a shadow government operating alongside elected officials.Davis warns that current intelligence points to a potential coup attempt in Russia involving a military general working with Muammar Gaddafi and Osama bin Laden. He expresses concern for President Clinton's safety during his Moscow summit visit and references intercepted communications suggesting a coordinated Islamic fundamentalist campaign against Western interests.

September 4, 1998: Russian Defector - Stanislav Lunev

Sep 42h 54mStanislav Lunev

Art Bell interviews Stanislav Lunev, Russia's highest-ranking military defector ever, a former GRU colonel who spent four years spying in Washington D.C. under cover as a TASS news agency correspondent. Lunev describes his intelligence work recruiting American agents and reveals why he chose to defect in 1992, citing the deep corruption connecting Russia's government to organized crime.The conversation turns to Russia's ongoing military preparations against the United States, which Lunev insists the GRU still considers an inevitable conflict. He discusses the massive underground bunker complex being constructed in the Ural Mountains, comparable in size to the Washington D.C. Beltway, designed to shelter Russia's elite during a nuclear war. He also reveals Russian training of international terrorists, including members of the Aum Shinrikyo cult responsible for the Tokyo subway attack.Lunev discloses the existence of a Soviet seismic weapons program codenamed Mercury 18, designed to concentrate natural seismic energy and trigger earthquakes at targeted locations. He claims the devastating 1988 Spitak earthquake was a result of weapons testing and discusses the possibility of a Russian-Chinese military alliance directed against the West.

September 6, 1998: Galactic Center 2012 - John Major Jenkins

Sep 61h 39mJohn Major Jenkins

Art Bell welcomes independent researcher John Major Jenkins for a deep exploration of the Maya Long Count calendar and its mysterious end date in 2012. Jenkins explains that the Maya tracked a vast 5125-year cycle anchored not to its beginning in 3114 B.C. but to its conclusion, when the December solstice sun aligns with the galactic center in the constellation Sagittarius. He describes how ancient Maya astronomers identified this nuclear bulge of the Milky Way with the naked eye and mythologized it as the womb of the Cosmic Mother.Jenkins presents his thesis that this rare alignment, occurring once every 26,000 years as part of the precession of the equinoxes, represents what the Maya understood as a profound moment of cosmic renewal. He draws parallels between Maya world-age mythology, Christian prophecy, and Terence McKenna's fractal timewave model, all of which appear to converge on the same transformative period.The discussion examines whether this convergence signals spiritual evolution, physical catastrophe, or both. Jenkins interprets the Maya creation myth as depicting the union of cosmic father and cosmic mother, suggesting an era of consciousness transformation rather than simple destruction. Callers challenge him on whether he is sugarcoating the potential for devastating earth changes.

#0467

September 17, 1998: Climate Change - Linda Moulton Howe

Sep 1718mLinda Moulton Howe

Art Bell presents investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe with a detailed report on accelerating global environmental change. Howe reveals that Dutch scientists have discovered man-made chemical compounds in sperm whales feeding at 3000 feet, demonstrating that toxic pollution has penetrated far deeper into ocean ecosystems than previously understood. She documents the worldwide retreat of glaciers, noting that Spain has lost half its glaciers since 1980 and Montana's Glacier National Park is projected to lose all of its ice within the next century.Howe interviews Dr. Greg Wiles of the College of Wooster, who reports that Alaska's temperatures have risen five degrees Fahrenheit since 1968, exactly as global warming models predicted for northern regions. This accelerated warming is causing permafrost to melt, dropping the water table below tree roots and killing vast stands of white spruce across Alaska's boreal forest.Geophysicist Dr. Mike Meyer of the University of Colorado discusses projected sea level rise of approximately half a meter by 2100. He explains that even modest rises translate to 150 feet of coastline retreat due to flat coastal slopes, threatening wetlands and freshwater estuaries worldwide. Meyer notes that the polar ice caps remain too cold for near-term catastrophic collapse but urges policymakers to factor rising seas into all coastal development decisions.

September 21, 1998: Hyperdimensional Physics, Free Energy - Richard C. Hoagland & Tom Bearden

Sep 212h 29mRichard C. Hoagland, Tom Bearden

Art Bell hosts Richard C. Hoagland and retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Tom Bearden for a wide-ranging discussion on hyperdimensional physics and its implications for energy and weapons technology. Hoagland presents a NASA anomaly reported in New Scientist showing that deep space probes including Pioneer and Voyager are not as far from the Sun as predicted, suggesting the standard gravity model may be fundamentally flawed. He proposes that the speed of light itself may be increasing, which would explain the discrepancy without requiring stronger solar gravity.Bearden describes longitudinal electromagnetic waves derived from the original Maxwell equations, which he claims were deliberately simplified over a century ago. He asserts that Russia has weaponized this technology under KGB oversight for decades, using it to manipulate weather patterns over North America since 1976, induce seismic events, and even destroy the USS Thresher submarine in 1963. He explains how these waves can heat or cool ocean waters at a distance, connecting the technology to El Nino anomalies.Both guests argue that these classified capabilities could be used to protect satellites from the approaching Leonid meteor shower in November 1998. They warn that losing even 20 percent of geosynchronous satellites could trigger a global economic crisis and urge that black-world technologies be brought into public use for planetary defense and clean energy applications.

September 23, 1998: A Remote Viewer - Joseph McMoneagle

Sep 232h 38mJoseph McMoneagle

Art Bell welcomes Joseph McMoneagle, Remote Viewer 001, the first person recruited into the U.S. military's classified Stargate program. McMoneagle spent 21 years conducting remote viewing operations for 16 government agencies, earning the Legion of Merit for his work. He explains that 99.9 percent of his intelligence work remains classified but confirms that remote viewing produced actionable results in locating downed aircraft, identifying secret facilities, and supporting Cold War intelligence collection.McMoneagle describes a controlled experiment in which he accurately described four future locations of an unknown individual, including a top-secret nuclear weapons facility and an operating linear accelerator. He discusses his near-death experience in 1970, when he was delivered to a German hospital clinically dead and encountered a white light he perceived as God. He credits that experience with eliminating his fear of death and opening his psychic abilities.The conversation covers psychokinesis experiments in which McMoneagle bent a surgical steel instrument inside a sealed glass tube over eight months. He shares his conviction that ruins exist in the Cydonia region of Mars, built roughly a million years ago by 12-foot humanoid beings who may be ancestral to humans. He also predicts that a tactical nuclear weapon will likely be used in anger within his lifetime, most probably in a third-world conflict.

Oct 12h 20mEd Dames

Art Bell welcomes remote viewer Ed Dames of SciTech International for a wide-ranging discussion that begins with a stunning announcement. Dames reveals the precise location of Amelia Earhart's crashed Lockheed Electra off the island of Kuria in the Gilbert Islands, releasing detailed maps on his website and announcing plans to retrieve the wreckage within three months. He also describes a breakthrough "tachyon device" developed from Cold War-era intelligence research that uses human DNA and emotional states to achieve instantaneous non-electronic communication across any distance.The conversation takes a dramatic turn when Dames presents the results of his team's remote viewing of the Third Secret of Fatima. He claims the secret corresponds directly to the opening of the sixth seal from the Book of Revelation, describing catastrophic earthquakes, volcanism, war, and meteors falling from the sky. Dames connects these findings to an immense gamma ray burst that recently struck Earth's atmosphere, which he identifies as the precursor event his team had previously predicted.Art and Dames also discuss the African plant pathogen, a fungal accelerant that Dames says was dispersed over the continent, along with an update on mysterious green fireballs reported worldwide. Dames announces that his most important future project will be identifying the biblical mark of the beast.

October 12, 1998: Open Lines | Art's Retirement Announcement

Oct 1256m

Art Bell hosts an open lines evening that begins with routine calls covering topics from book-selling guests and their credibility to fourth-dimensional physics and a caller's mind-bending math puzzle. Art fields questions about Ed Dames and his remote viewing predictions while listeners share their thoughts on subjects ranging from zero-point energy to the political situation surrounding President Clinton's impeachment proceedings. A caller from Winnipeg reports on the unusual behavior of migrating snow geese staging in smaller groups than normal.Art reflects on his recent trip to South Africa, discussing the serious crime problem there and how the experience deepened his appreciation for the United States. He takes calls about Father Malachi Martin's health and fields a thoughtful debate from a self-described atheist who argues that belief in God and atheism are not mutually exclusive. The conversation ranges from the philosophical to the political as callers discuss everything from the nature of divinity to the tragedy of the Clinton scandal.The broadcast ends with a sudden and shocking announcement. Art tells his audience that what they are listening to is his final broadcast and that he will not return. He references a threatening and terrible event involving his family that he cannot discuss publicly, promising that when the time comes, he will explain everything through the press. He thanks his audience and says goodbye, leaving listeners stunned.

October 23, 1998: Art's statement on his sudden resignation

Oct 231m

Art Bell delivers a brief but deeply personal recorded statement addressing his unexpected departure from the airwaves. Speaking from the Kingdom of Nye, he tells listeners that while the difficulties that caused him to leave have not been fully resolved, the situation has improved to some degree. He describes the crisis as among the gravest any family could face and asks for understanding regarding his silence on the details.Art firmly denies any suggestion that his departure was a hoax, a stunt, a contract ploy, or a negotiation tactic for more money. He states categorically that not a single element of his contract has changed and emphasizes that money has never been his motivation for doing the program. He warns that should the private matter become public despite his efforts to keep it contained, he will have a great deal to say about it.The statement closes on a hopeful note as Art announces his return to the show beginning Wednesday night, October 28th. He expresses sincere gratitude to his network for their support, to fill-in host Hilly Rose for keeping the live forum going on very short notice, and to his listeners for their patience and concern during the ordeal.

October 23, 1998: Hilly Rose - Secret History of Jesus - Dr. Glenn Kimball

Oct 232h 7mHilly Rose, Dr. Glenn Kimball

Fill-in host Hilly Rose welcomes researcher Glenn Kimball for a discussion spanning 25 years of research into ancient manuscripts about the historical Jesus. Kimball draws from records found in the Vatican's 17-mile library, the British Museum, and archives across Europe to present a portrait of Jesus that differs sharply from popular tradition. He argues that Jesus' father Joseph was not a poor carpenter but a wealthy architect and builder, and that the family belonged to the royal House of David with access to fleets of merchant vessels.Kimball traces connections between Jesus' family and England, claiming that the Virgin Mary's mother was born there and that Joseph of Arimathea, Jesus' great-uncle, owned tin and lead mines in Britain. He describes how the Magi who visited the infant Jesus came from Persia, Arabia, and India, and that Jesus himself spent approximately three years in India where he is quoted in Hindu sacred texts. Kimball also discusses the calendar error of Dionysius Ignatius, arguing that Jesus was born in 7 B.C. and was approximately 40 years old at his death.Callers ask about the Book of Jasher, the Quran's references to Jesus, and the historical evidence for the resurrection, including Kimball's claim that Pontius Pilate himself encountered the risen Jesus and had a scribe record their conversation.

October 30, 1998: Ghost to Ghost 1998 | Ghost Stories

Oct 301h 4m

Art Bell hosts the annual Ghost to Ghost broadcast, inviting listeners to share their most unsettling encounters with the unexplained. He opens by reading several submitted accounts, including a martial artist who threw punches through a transparent figure kneeling beside his bed and a police officer who witnessed a featureless shadow figure with a white collar standing in an old church parsonage. Art directs listeners to a photograph on his website showing what appears to be a woman manifesting through a closed door.Callers from across the country and around the world share their experiences. A retired New York City fire lieutenant recounts a story from Rescue 1, where a firefighter felt invisible hands gripping his ankles in a pitch-black bunk room, later discovering that a fireman had died of a heart attack in that exact bed 20 years earlier. A Charleston police officer describes a terrifying childhood encounter with a dog-like demonic entity that his brother independently confirmed seeing in the same house. A female truck driver reports a paralyzing experience at mile marker 163 on I-25 near Albuquerque where her body went numb and began to levitate.A retired sheriff's captain recalls a ghost cat that attacked him in an old western courthouse, reportedly passing through his body according to a witness, before a ghostly man appeared at the top of the stairs and slowly dissipated.

October 30, 1998: Ghost to Ghost 1998 | EQ Pegasi - Richard C. Hoagland & Seth Shostak

Oct 301h 21mRichard C. Hoagland, Seth Shostak

Art Bell opens his annual Ghost to Ghost broadcast with a stunning photograph from a firefighter in Missouri showing what appears to be a Native American warrior on horseback in the flames of a practice fire on an Indian burial ground. Listeners share chilling accounts of apparitions, haunted hotels, and ghostly encounters from locations around the world.The evening takes a dramatic turn when Art breaks in with developing news about a possible signal from the EQ Pegasi star system. A second independent confirmation arrives from a radio amateur in Guernsey, who reports detecting a narrow-band signal at 1453.8273 megahertz that appears and disappears when his dish is moved on and off the target coordinates. Richard C. Hoagland joins to reveal that the original anonymous engineer, now identified as Paul Doerr, is a credentialed radar specialist with British aerospace firms.SETI astronomer Seth Shostak weighs in with cautious skepticism, noting the signal could be terrestrial interference entering through antenna side lobes. He acknowledges interest but offers to bet a double latte that this is not first contact. Hoagland proposes the signal may originate from a decelerating interstellar probe rather than the distant star itself, calculating an approach speed of roughly 4,000 miles per second based on the apparent Doppler shift.

October 31, 1998: Ghost to Ghost 1998

Oct 314h 19m

Art Bell continues his Halloween tradition with a second night of real ghost stories from callers across the country and around the world. An EMS worker recounts a deeply personal encounter while staying at the Hotel Del Coronado, where unexplained upgrades, free meals, and a vanishing hotel bill suggest he became the guest of the legendary ghost Kate Morgan.A man in southern California describes a terrifying entity that pinned him face-down on his waterbed and bound his tongue, later learning the apartment was the scene of a shotgun murder. A Navy electrician stationed aboard the USS Enterprise shares how ghostly presences in the switchgear rooms would grab sleeping watchstanders by the hair, attributed to crewmen who had been vaporized by electrical arcs years earlier. A police officer from San Diego recalls spotting a bloodied man on a street corner at 3 a.m. who vanished in seconds with no trace.Callers describe encounters ranging from a man in Minnesota who claims to have conversed with the spirit of John Dillinger during what he calls a circular gathering for the mortality impaired, to a grieving pet owner who found fresh paw prints pressed into his mattress the morning after his dog was euthanized. Art weaves in discussion of why spirits remain tied to specific locations and whether material objects carry memories of past events.

November 2, 1998: EQ Pegasi - Richard C. Hoagland

Nov 258mRichard C. Hoagland

Art Bell welcomes Richard C. Hoagland for a detailed follow-up on the alleged signal from the EQ Pegasi star system. Hoagland reports that Paul Doerr, the British engineer at the center of the story, plans to hold a press conference in London at the Scientific Society's Lecture Theater on Seville Row, sponsored by the International Astronomical Union and the British Astronomical Association. A Japanese amateur radio astronomer has now independently detected the signal, but at a frequency roughly two megahertz lower than Doerr's original detection.This frequency drop aligns precisely with Hoagland's on-air prediction from days earlier that if the source were a decelerating probe rather than a distant star, the signal should shift downward over time. Retired NASA scientist Dr. James Warwick, the principal investigator of the Voyager planetary radio astronomy experiment, examines the Japanese data and concludes the signal is definitely artificial and likely nearby based on its stability and lack of interstellar scintillation.Hoagland notes that Harvard's Project Beta SETI telescope has mysteriously stopped posting its ten-minute sky scan updates and appears to be pointed at the Pegasus constellation. Art appeals to amateur radio operators worldwide to train their dishes on the coordinates and report any findings, while acknowledging the story could still prove to be an elaborate hoax.

November 3, 1998: Anti-Aging & How To Beat The Clock - Richard C. Hoagland & Dr. Ronald Klatz

Nov 31h 51mRichard C. Hoagland, Dr. Ronald Klatz

Art Bell speaks with Dr. Ronald Klatz, president of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, about breakthroughs that could dramatically extend the human lifespan. Dr. Klatz explains how hormone replacement therapy, antioxidant supplementation, and early genetic testing are already enabling physicians to reverse biological age by ten to twenty years in their patients. He predicts that 50 percent of baby boomers alive today will reach their 100th birthday in excellent health.The conversation moves into more speculative territory as Dr. Klatz describes British Telecom's Soul Catcher 2025 project, an implantable chip designed to record a lifetime of sensory experience behind the eye. He and Art explore the philosophical implications of downloading consciousness into a computerized duplicate, debating whether an immortal soul would transfer with it or remain tied to the physical body. Dr. Klatz also addresses the ethical concerns surrounding human cloning and computerized implants.In the first hour, Richard C. Hoagland provides an update on the EQ Pegasi signal story, reporting that the planned London press conference is confirmed for November 4th and that a retired NASA heavyweight has analyzed the signal data and considers it definitively artificial. Art continues to press for independent amateur confirmation of the signal as the story intensifies ahead of the scheduled announcement.

#0479

November 4, 1998: EQ Pegasi - Richard C. Hoagland

Nov 42h 32mRichard C. Hoagland

Art Bell devotes the full program to unraveling the EQ Pegasi signal story with Richard C. Hoagland after the planned London press conference is canceled and the GeoCities clearinghouse website is replaced by an NSA seal. Hoagland reveals that his on-the-ground contacts in London discovered the press conference was never actually booked at the stated venue, the reporter who allegedly covered it does not exist, and an MSNBC journalist received a denial from someone claiming to be Doerr.Despite this apparent collapse of the original narrative, Hoagland argues the hoax was deliberately constructed to discredit a genuine signal. He points to extraordinary data from the Australian Telescope Compact Array, which detected a powerful narrow-band spike four times above the noise floor in the direction of Pegasus but dismissed it as satellite interference without identifying the source. The three independent detections from Guernsey, Japan, and Australia all show a decreasing frequency that fits a curve consistent with a decelerating object arriving near Earth in early December.Art opens all phone lines exclusively to callers with relevant information. A former counterintelligence agent analyzes Doerr's final statement as classic disinformation, while a Montreal translator confirms the French website contains no additional signal data. Hoagland announces that an Enterprise Mission associate in Los Angeles is building a receiver to attempt independent confirmation within days.

November 6, 1998: Ancient Astronauts - Erich von Daniken

Nov 61h 16mErich von Daniken

Art Bell welcomes Erich von Daniken, bestselling author of Chariots of the Gods, for his first-ever appearance on the program. Von Daniken presents his theory that extraterrestrial visitors landed on Earth thousands of years ago, leaving behind evidence in the Nazca Lines of Peru, ancient Indian texts describing orbital cities and smaller vehicles called Vimanas, and biblical accounts like Ezekiel's detailed descriptions of a technical craft.The conversation delves into von Daniken's belief that extraterrestrials genetically modified early hominids to create intelligent humans, a concept he finds echoed across world religions. He points to the Hebrew word Elohim, a plural form suggesting multiple gods, and draws parallels between the story of Adam and Eve and a deliberate act of genetic engineering. Von Daniken also discusses hidden artifacts, including the Ark of the Covenant guarded beneath an Ethiopian cathedral and a mysterious mirror buried with a Japanese emperor.Callers challenge von Daniken on spiritual versus physical interpretations of scripture, while he addresses past criticisms of his earlier work. He acknowledges youthful errors in Chariots of the Gods but maintains that his newer books, including The Arrival of the Gods, meet scientific standards. He also announces plans for a mystery-themed park in Interlaken, Switzerland, designed to bring the world's ancient enigmas to the public.

#0481

November 9, 1998: EQ Pegasi Signal - Richard C. Hoagland

Nov 932mRichard C. Hoagland

Art Bell and Richard C. Hoagland dig deeper into the unfolding EQ Pegasi signal controversy, examining whether the widely reported internet hoax is actually a disinformation campaign concealing a genuine detection. Hoagland reveals that the real Paul Doerr, whose identity was used in the original postings, has privately accused Hoagland himself of orchestrating the affair, a claim Hoagland finds deeply suspicious given Doerr's own former connections to Lockheed Martin.New technical evidence arrives just before airtime from an American amateur radio astronomer with access to dishes up to 30 meters in diameter who reports detecting a hard analog signal at the reported frequency. Hoagland notes that plotting all detection data points produces a logarithmic curve consistent with a decelerating probe approaching from interstellar space. He also highlights the unusual appearance of an editorial about alien probes on the SETI League website and his own listing on Seth Shostak's official SETI Institute chronology of the story.Art reads a listener fax proposing that the entire Pegasi scenario could be a staged prelude to a fabricated alien landing designed to justify one-world government. Hoagland discloses that his Pentagon source originally named Mountain View, California, home of the SETI Institute at NASA Ames, as the projected landing site. The two agree to pursue the story until the truth emerges.

November 10, 1998: Alien Encounters - Robert Raith | Beyond the Big Bang - Paul LaViolette

Nov 102h 54mRobert Raith, Paul LaViolette

Art Bell presents stunning photographs sent by Robert Raith depicting what Raith claims is an alien craft hovering in Washington State forest and the body of a being killed by psychologist Dr. Jonathan Reed. According to Raith, Reed was hiking with his dog when the animal attacked the creature. After the alien killed the dog, Reed struck the being with a heavy branch. The photographs, developed by Kodak on 35-millimeter film, show the craft resembling a black diamond shape and the alien with childlike proportions, a large head, and dark eyes.Raith explains that an earlier package of evidence was stolen from a courier who was physically attacked, and that associates who knew about the encounter have either disappeared or died. Art displays the original photographs on his studio camera and posts them to his website, which immediately buckles under the traffic. A follow-up interview with Raith and Dr. Reed is announced for the following night.In the second half, Dr. Paul LaViolette challenges Big Bang cosmology, arguing for a continuous creation model supported by what he calls subquantum kinetics. He contends that cosmological redshift results from photon energy loss in low-gravity regions rather than universal expansion, and that ancient creation myths from Egypt, Greece, and the Tarot encode a sophisticated wave-based physics lost after prehistoric cataclysms.

November 11, 1998: Global Conspiracy - David Icke

Nov 112h 0mDavid Icke

Art Bell hosts David Icke, who lays out his theory that a network of interbreeding bloodlines originating from ancient extraterrestrial-human hybridization has maintained control over global affairs for thousands of years. Icke traces these lineages from Sumerian texts and the Caucasus Mountains region through the royal houses of Europe and into modern American politics, citing Burke's Peerage research showing that 33 of 42 U.S. presidents share genetic ties to England's King Alfred the Great and Charlemagne.Icke explains his framework of control through what he calls Problem, Reaction, Solution, a technique where crises are manufactured so the public demands changes that further centralize power. He applies this model to gun legislation following mass shootings, environmental policy driven by the Club of Rome, and the potential staging of an extraterrestrial threat as outlined in the 1960s Report from Iron Mountain. He also connects the Tavistock Institute to mass consciousness manipulation and individual mind control programs.Art presses Icke on whether he himself could be an unwitting participant in this system, given his position within a major broadcasting corporation. Icke responds that most people within these pyramidal structures have no awareness of the broader agenda, and that the real power lies not at the top but in the base of the pyramid, which unknowingly sustains the entire system through compliance.

November 13, 1998: Remote Viewing - Ed Dames | Pegasi Hoax - Richard C. Hoagland

Nov 132h 36mEd Dames, Richard C. Hoagland

Art Bell opens by recounting his receipt of the CSICOP Snuffed Candle Award, presented on Friday the 13th for what skeptics called paranormal mystery mongering. Reporter Ed Bannon, who attended the Los Angeles press conference, describes challenging the presenters with Scientific American's own 1905 dismissal of heavier-than-air flight. Richard C. Hoagland then updates the EQ Pegasi investigation, revealing that the real Paul Doerr has been caught altering email headers on the same sites used by the original imposter, and that a new candidate for the hoaxer has been identified.Hoagland raises alarm about a reported Y2K test scheduled for Galaxy 5 during the Leonid meteor storm, warning that the satellite carrying Art's broadcast and 30 percent of U.S. telephone service could go dark. He also reveals that NASA plans to keep Hubble's aperture open during the storm to photograph a distant quasar, despite the risk of plasma damage from vaporized meteors, and notes leaked news reports announcing a two-year Hubble shutdown before any failure has occurred.Ed Dames presents results from two months of technical remote viewing sessions applied to passages from Revelation. He identifies what he calls the mark of the beast as a mandated but defective AIDS vaccine arriving within three years, and places his long-predicted solar kill shot event within the seventh seal timeline around 2001. He also reveals that remote viewing the abomination of desolation produced descriptions of church-sanctioned same-sex marriages.

#0485

November 23, 1998: Pegasi Hoax - Richard C. Hoagland

Nov 2343mRichard C. Hoagland

Art Bell welcomes Richard C. Hoagland for an update on several developing stories, including anomalies surrounding the Leonid meteor shower that arrived 19.5 hours ahead of schedule. Hoagland presents frames from NASA video showing an unidentified object captured during the Leonid observation flights over Okinawa, raising questions about what the space agency inadvertently recorded.The conversation turns to the Pegasus signal controversy and reports of a possible landing event predicted for December 6th or 7th. Hoagland shares intelligence from a Pentagon source claiming a hostile object is approaching from the constellation Pegasus, while ground reports of military activity near the alleged landing site add further intrigue to the unfolding story.Art also speaks with former submariner Howard Weinstein about life aboard a nuclear submarine commanded by the technical advisor for The Hunt for Red October. Callers weigh in on the Dr. Reed alien encounter story and the recent Church of Satan interview, while Art addresses his philosophy of presenting stories and letting listeners decide for themselves.

November 24, 1998: Conversations with God - Neal Walsch | Cosmic Code - Zecharia Sitchin

Nov 243h 15mNeal Walsch, Zecharia Sitchin

Art Bell speaks with Zecharia Sitchin about his latest book, The Cosmic Code, which examines ancient Sumerian texts describing the genetic engineering process used by the Anunnaki to create humanity. Sitchin explains how detailed study of these ancient accounts could provide shortcuts for modern geneticists seeking to cure hereditary diseases, arguing the tablets contain step-by-step records of how genes were added and subtracted during the creation of the first humans.Sitchin discusses physical evidence supporting his theories, including massive stone platforms at Baalbek in Lebanon weighing over a thousand tons, colossal blocks beneath Jerusalem, and a Sumerian artifact depicting a one-man spacecraft now on display in Istanbul. He also recommends Catholic priest Father Charles Moore, who teaches using Sitchin's research, as a future guest.In the second half, Art interviews Neale Walsch, whose Conversations with God trilogy occupies multiple spots on bestseller lists. Walsch recounts how a personal crisis led to an extended written dialogue he attributes to God, organized around three core truths: we are all one, there is enough, and there is nothing we have to do. The conversation examines how shifting from doing to being transformed his life and relationships.

November 25, 1998: How to be a Prophet - Alan Vaughan

Nov 252h 54mAlan Vaughan

Art Bell interviews Dr. Alan Vaughn, documented by the Central Premonitions Registry as the most successful predictor among 3,500 participants from 28 countries over two decades of recorded forecasts. Vaughn describes how he transitioned from skeptical science textbook editor to psychic researcher after unexplained experiences in the 1960s, including a Ouija board session that accurately predicted the worst blizzard in 80 years and a prophetic dream about the assassination of Robert Kennedy.Vaughn explains his theory linking ESP, precognition, and UFO sightings to periods of low geomagnetic activity, suggesting consciousness extends into other dimensions where time does not exist in linear form. Art shares his own vivid premonition experience in Santa Barbara, where overwhelming waves of feeling warned him seconds before a driver reversed into his parked car.The conversation turns to predictions, including Vaughn's published forecast that Clinton would not be impeached or resign, and a more alarming vision of a major earthquake centered roughly 100 miles east of Los Angeles in 1999, potentially reaching magnitude 7.8 to 8.0. Vaughn also discusses his software designed to train intuitive abilities and the potential of group consciousness to influence physical events.

#0488

November 26, 1998: Biblical History - Father Charles Moore

Nov 263h 19m

Art Bell speaks with Father Charles Moore, a retired Catholic priest recommended by Zecharia Sitchin, who integrates Sitchin's research about the Anunnaki into his theological framework. Father Moore explains that inserting the ancient gods into the accepted biblical paradigm resolves contradictions that have long puzzled scholars, arguing that the Anunnaki served as emissaries of a greater cosmic God rather than replacing traditional theology.Moore reveals that he shared these views with a bishop friend from seminary who acknowledged their validity but admitted he could never speak of them publicly. He describes how the arrangement of the twelve tribes of Israel in the desert corresponds exactly to the zodiac, and identifies the biblical figure Azazel as the specific Anunnaki whose unauthorized genetic interference with humans led to the decision not to rescue humanity from the Great Flood.The discussion takes a dramatic turn when Moore claims the third secret of Fatima, which he says was released by the Vatican, predicts a bolide impact on June 30, 1999, the same date independently identified by Graham Hancock in The Mars Mystery. Moore connects this to Nostradamus and Father Malachi Martin's warnings to keep eyes on the sky, suggesting these convergent predictions point toward a potential extinction-level event.

#0489

November 27, 1998: Ghost Stories - Open Lines

Nov 273h 14m

Art Bell dedicates the entire broadcast to listener ghost stories, fulfilling a promise delayed from Halloween when the Pegasus story interrupted the planned Ghost to Ghost edition. He opens by explaining his fascination with spirits as potential evidence of existence after death, then reads accounts including a 1928 Vancouver tale of a headless brakeman haunting railway yards and a paramedic's uncanny visit to the Hotel Del Coronado seemingly orchestrated by its resident ghost.Callers share remarkable encounters from across the country and beyond. A man in El Cajon describes seeing his deceased mother-in-law's apparition and finding her footprints on white carpet, while a former nuclear electrician from the USS Enterprise recounts how the ghost of a vaporized sailor would physically grab sleeping watchstanders by the hair. A San Diego police officer tells of a bleeding figure who vanished within seconds, and a stuntman describes being kept awake by a tuxedo-wearing specter at a former Al Capone hotel in Coral Gables.A fire dispatcher recounts the most elaborate story of the night, describing a vivid dream in which he was transported to 1864 and experienced the deaths of an entire Mexican village through a young woman who had stayed behind to care for the dying. Art reflects on why spirits seem bound to specific locations and whether traumatic deaths create portals allowing other entities to pass through.

December 1, 1998: TWA Flight 800 Investigation - Capt. William S. Donaldson

Dec 11h 20mCapt. William S. Donaldson

Art Bell welcomes retired Navy Commander William S. Donaldson, a career naval aviator and aviation safety expert, for a detailed investigation into the TWA Flight 800 disaster of July 1996. Donaldson presents his case that the official explanation of a spontaneous center fuel tank explosion is scientifically impossible, citing the fuel type Jet A1 and its resistance to ignition under normal flight conditions.Two eyewitnesses join the program. Major Fred Myers, a decorated combat helicopter pilot flying a Black Hawk at 200 feet that evening, describes seeing a streak of light followed by what he identifies as a high-explosive ordnance detonation before the fuel fireball. Richard Goss, watching from the West Hampton Yacht Squadron, recounts a bright object rising from near the surface, leveling off, and making a sharp left turn before the explosion.Donaldson lays out debris field analysis showing wreckage patterns inconsistent with a center tank failure, including a six-inch through-hole penetrating the fuselage and nose section fragments scattered thousands of feet from the flight path. He concludes the physical evidence points to a missile engagement, possibly involving an Iranian AIM-54A Phoenix missile.

December 4, 1998: Mars Landing Update - Richard C. Hoagland | Y2k - Gary North

Dec 42h 54mRichard C. Hoagland, Gary North

Art Bell opens with a quick update from Richard C. Hoagland on the predicted December 7th event in central Arizona. Hoagland identifies Turret Mountain, located at the geometric center of the state, as the specific location where something may occur. He provides coordinates and warns listeners that the situation could be hazardous, while noting military activity near Payson and a suspicious FAA flight restriction over the area.The program then shifts to a full Y2K discussion with economist Gary North, whom Art describes as vindicated after 60 Minutes aired a sobering report echoing his warnings. North explains the origins of the two-digit date problem and why it was never corrected despite decades of awareness. He details how Citicorp alone expects to spend nearly $900 million on repairs while Japan''s 19 largest banks have budgeted a fraction of that amount.North addresses the banking system''s vulnerability, the Federal Reserve''s plan to print $50 billion in extra currency, and a new FDIC profiling program to monitor unusual withdrawals. He warns that nuclear power plants face a July 1999 compliance deadline from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and that no major utility or bank on Earth has yet declared full Y2K compliance.

December 7, 1998: Arizona Storm at Turret Peak - Richard C. Hoagland | MUFON - William A. Lester Jr.

Dec 739mRichard C. Hoagland, William A. Lester Jr.

Art Bell opens with William A. Lester Jr., state section director of MUFON Georgia, who reports unprecedented UFO activity across the state. Witnesses describe domed craft hovering over ball fields, ring-shaped objects with orbiting colored lights, and large silent triangles following vehicles. Scorched ground traces were found at one landing site near Atlanta, though rain had begun eroding the evidence before investigators arrived.Richard C. Hoagland then delivers an update on the December 7th Turret Mountain situation in central Arizona. He reports that an extraordinary and historically unusual snowstorm blanketed the region, closing Interstate 17 and the Beeline Highway. Simultaneously, geophysics researcher Charles Plyler recorded an intense electromagnetic pulse at 2:37 Greenwich Mean Time that nearly overwhelmed his instruments at multiple widely separated monitoring stations.Hoagland correlates HAARP ionospheric heater activity with the storm timing and presents Phoenix weather radar data showing an anomalous circular ring formation centered precisely over Turret Mountain. He also discusses newly released Majestic 12 documents and previews an upcoming disclosure program featuring Dr. Robert M. Wood and Ryan Wood with Linda Moulton Howe.

#0493

December 8, 1998: Arizona Storm at Turret Peak - Richard C. Hoagland

Dec 840mRichard C. Hoagland

Art Bell brings back Richard C. Hoagland for an in-depth examination of the strange events at Turret Mountain in central Arizona on December 7th. Hoagland presents Phoenix weather radar imagery showing an anomalous ring formation, approximately 100 miles across, centered precisely over Turret Mountain during a massive and historically rare snowstorm. He argues the ring represents organized crystalline snow patterns created by an energy pulse from below the mountain.Eyewitness Terry Major, who drove a four-wheel vehicle to the base of Turret Peak during the storm, joins the program. Major confirms that directly above the mountain he observed a perfectly circular opening of clear blue sky surrounded by heavy cloud cover. He describes encountering a mysterious truck with cage-like containers descending the only road leading to the peak. Major captured photographs and video during his expedition.Hoagland correlates HAARP activity data with the electromagnetic pulse recorded by researcher Charles Plyler, and references Bureau of Reclamation tunnels measuring 19.5 feet wide found exclusively in Arizona. He theorizes that an underground device or artifact was activated beneath Turret Mountain, producing the energy signature that organized the snowfall into the radar-visible ring pattern.

December 9, 1998: Earth Changes - Speaking Wind Patrick Quirk

Dec 92h 45mSpeaking Wind Patrick Quirk

Speaking Wind Patrick Quirk, a Native American author of Pueblo descent, joins Art Bell to discuss earth changes, ancient prophecy, the fourth world, and the transition toward 2012. Raised by spiritual elders Grandfather Two Bears and White Eagle in the mountains of northern New Mexico, Speaking Wind discusses ancient prophecy describing four distinct worlds of approximately 10,000 years each, with humanity now approaching the end of the fourth world. He places the final day at December 22, 2012, after which a fifth world of peace begins for those who survive the transition.Speaking Wind describes a planetary cleansing that began in June 1998, marked by waves of unexplained depression and anxiety felt worldwide. He connects these effects partly to HAARP technology, which he says interferes with Earth's magnetic field and disrupts human behavior, bird migration, and marine life. He warns of rising sea levels exceeding 65 feet, reawakening Pacific Ring volcanoes, and ocean-borne bacteria already causing illness among swimmers off California and Florida.The conversation turns philosophical as Speaking Wind counsels listeners on releasing fear and embracing self-knowledge. He estimates roughly one in a thousand people will physically survive into the fifth world, though he emphasizes that no soul is ultimately lost. He shares the Pueblo teaching that Venus was once a runaway planet whose near-collision with Earth destroyed a primordial garden, an event imprinted on all living things.

December 11, 1998: Hidden History of Jesus - Dr. Glenn Kimball

Dec 112h 7mDr. Glenn Kimball

Art Bell welcomes Dr. Glenn Kimball, a scholar who has spent over 25 years researching ancient manuscripts about the life of Jesus Christ. Dr. Kimball reveals that millions of extra-biblical documents exist worldwide that tell a very different story from conventional Sunday school teachings, including claims that Jesus had older stepbrothers and sisters, that his family was extraordinarily wealthy, and that Joseph was an architect rather than a simple carpenter.The conversation examines the Star of Bethlehem as a merger of Jupiter and Saturn in 7 B.C., which can be verified through modern astronomical software. Dr. Kimball explains how this dating shifts the accepted timeline, suggesting Jesus lived to age 40 rather than 33, due to a calendar error by the monk Dionysius Ignatius in 533 A.D. He also discusses Joseph of Arimathea as the protector of the young Jesus and the extensive wealth of the holy family.Art opens the program with a striking personal admission that he cannot categorically state he believes in God. Dr. Kimball responds not as clergy but as a historian, presenting what he considers overwhelming manuscript evidence supporting the historical existence of Jesus and the hidden details of his birth, childhood, and family lineage.

December 14, 1998: Attorney for Ufologists - Peter Gersten | Turret Peak - Richard C. Hoagland

Dec 141h 57mPeter Gersten, Richard C. Hoagland

Art Bell opens with Richard C. Hoagland presenting new findings about Turret Peak in central Arizona, where bizarre radar anomalies and weather disturbances were detected around December 6th and 7th. Hoagland introduces eyewitness Daryl Smith, a computer programmer who drove his Humvee to Turret Peak on the night of December 7th and experienced catastrophic tire failure, dead batteries, strange low-frequency thumping sounds, unusual warmth at high elevation, and severe radio interference. Smith and his companion walked 12 miles through freezing temperatures and nearly died from exposure.Hoagland connects these events to radar data showing circular electromagnetic signatures centered not on civilian radar stations but on military installations across the country. He theorizes a nationwide electromagnetic shield system, possibly codenamed Project Samson, is being tested or activated. Former NASA associates and researchers like Steven Greer have examined the data and found it consistent with classified military activity.Attorney Peter Gersten joins to discuss the legal landscape of UFO secrecy, recounting his Supreme Court battles against the CIA and NSA for UFO documents. He and Hoagland discuss the accelerating pattern of unusual events and what Gersten sees as an approaching test of human sovereignty and self-determination.

December 18, 1998: Majestic 12 - Linda Moulton Howe & Glenn Pace

Dec 1812mLinda Moulton Howe, Glenn Pace

Art Bell presents investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe with a remarkable firsthand account from Glenn Pace, a man who worked at the Nevada Test Site in the early 1960s. Pace describes a card game with physicist Otto Krauss and a member of the MJ-12 staff, during which details about the secret organization were casually discussed. The MJ-12 member explained that President Truman created the group by executive order in response to UFO incidents from the 1940s, giving it autonomous authority, its own budget, and independence from both Congress and the presidency.Pace recounts being told about craft retrievals predating Roswell, including one from the Ozarks in the early 1940s, consistent with the reported 1941 Cape Girardeau, Missouri incident. The MJ-12 member described the propulsion technology as magnetic in nature and said the power source was classified at a higher level than the atomic bomb. He also referenced a specific element used in the craft, which Pace later recognized as Element 115 when hearing Bob Lazar discuss it years later.Linda connects this testimony to newly released MJ-12 documents, including the White Hot Intelligence Assessment from September 1947, which explicitly references the Missouri discovery and confirms the craft were deemed extraterrestrial in origin.

December 21, 1998: Remote Viewing Satan - Ed Dames

Dec 212h 1mEd Dames

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.

December 23, 1998: UFO Footage - Robert Kiviat

Dec 2340mRobert Kiviat

Art Bell welcomes television producer Robert Kiviat, known for his Fox Network specials on UFOs and unexplained phenomena. Kiviat has secured exclusive rights to a remarkable six-and-a-half-minute UFO video shot by Sharon Rowlands, a Derbyshire housewife who captured the footage after hearing strange sounds outside her home during a wave of UFO activity in October 1997. The BBC ran the story as front-page news, and Kiviat paid a licensing fee of approximately 20,000 dollars for broadcast rights.What makes the footage particularly significant is its striking resemblance to objects captured by NASA cameras during the famous space shuttle tether incident. Both show disc-shaped craft with a distinctive notch on the edge and a pulsing circle in the center. Kiviat plans to challenge NASA to publicly address the similarity between their own space footage and this ground-level recording from England, testing whether the agency will finally acknowledge what their cameras have captured.Art also showcases an anonymously submitted UFO video from North Bay, Ontario, that he describes as one of the most impressive he has ever seen. Kiviat discusses his upcoming series "Could It Be True," additional cases involving UFO footage from a family traveling through Texas, and a Bigfoot video from the Florida Everglades.

December 28, 1998: Encounter with Alien - Dr. Jonathan Reed & Robert Raith

Dec 282h 27mDr. Jonathan Reed, Robert Raith

Art Bell welcomes back Dr. Jonathan Reed and Robert Raith to revisit one of the most controversial alien encounter stories ever told on the program. Dr. Reed recounts his 1996 experience in the Cascade Mountains of Washington state, where he claims his dog was killed by a small humanoid creature that he then struck with a branch, discovered a hovering black obelisk emitting a harmonic tone, and transported the being home in a thermal blanket.The discussion covers new photographic evidence, including detailed close-up images of the creature's head and eye that Art has posted to his website. Dr. Reed describes subsequent events: the creature reanimating in his freezer days later, his house being ransacked, the disappearance of his friend Gary, and the death of his associate Dolly under suspicious circumstances. He reveals for the first time that a small device with three symbols and three needles, believed to link the alien to the obelisk, has been examined and smuggled out of the country.Callers press Dr. Reed on details about the creature's clothing, his emotional state, and his credibility. Reed confirms he passed a polygraph test and describes how 75 percent of his evidence was stolen. Robert Raith discusses their ongoing efforts to publish a book titled Link: An Extraterrestrial Odyssey and their search for a publisher willing to take on the project despite reported threats.

December 29, 1998: Hopi Prophecies, Seven Thunders - Robert Ghost Wolf

Dec 292h 55mRobert Ghost Wolf

Art Bell opens with wide-ranging news commentary on Y2K glitches already surfacing, the Clinton impeachment trial, and Iraq tensions before welcoming Robert Ghost Wolf, a Matei mixed-blood Native American ceremonial leader and author. The program begins with somber news that Speaking Wind, a recent guest who discussed HAARP and weather control, has died of a heart attack on December 22nd, just days after his appearance on the show.Ghost Wolf outlines the Seven Thunders prophecies, born from a gathering of Native elders in the early 1980s, which describe escalating signs of a coming purification as Earth transitions from the fourth world to the fifth. He explains that humanity has now entered the seventh thunder, marked by volcanic activity, earthquakes, and extreme weather anomalies. According to both Hopi and Mayan traditions, the purification cannot be reversed and the shift between worlds is accelerating beyond the ability of prophets to predict events.The conversation turns to anomalous photographs from the SOHO satellite showing unexplained objects near the sun. Ghost Wolf connects these images to Mayan prophecies about ancestors returning from beyond the stars during a specific window between December 1998 and February 1999. Art also shares a touching on-air marriage proposal from a listener couple who met while accessing his website at a college library.

December 30, 1998: Death Threats, EQ Pegasi Hoax, Weather Control - Richard C. Hoagland vs. Robert A.M. Stephens

Dec 302h 42mRichard C. Hoagland, Robert A.M. Stephens

Art Bell hosts a heated three-way confrontation between Richard C. Hoagland and Paul Dore of Great Britain over the EQ Pegasi signal hoax that shook the astronomy and UFO communities in late 1998. The controversy began when a BBC report announced that a part-time astronomer had detected signals from the EQ Pegasi star system 22 light years away. Both men had publicly accused each other of perpetrating the hoax, but during the broadcast they each concede the other may not be responsible.Paul Dore admits to forging one email header in an attempt to flush out the real hoaxer, while Hoagland maintains the incident was an elaborate wake-up call orchestrated by intelligence agencies on both sides of the Atlantic. Art brokers a fragile truce, persuading both men to exchange information through intermediaries to identify the true perpetrator. The discussion reveals that Dore's online gaming handle was appropriated by the hoaxer, and Hoagland's initials were planted on the original website.The program shifts to a chilling letter from a heavily credentialed intelligence insider who warns that pursuing weather control research could be fatal. Art reads portions of the letter describing rogue government groups and a countdown already underway. The broadcast also addresses the exposure of Robert A.M. Stephens, a self-described NASA contractor whose claims about his credentials and military background were debunked by listeners and researchers following his previous appearance.
