Willes, who filmed the original 1997 Phoenix Lights and runs UFOs Over Phoenix, describes three lights appearing in a triangular formation before one rapidly skips across the sky at impossible speed. Luke Air Force Base denied any knowledge of the objects when con...

Art Bell welcomes cell biologist Dr. Bruce Lipton, who resigned a tenured university position after an epiphany about how cells are truly controlled. Lipton explains that genes are not autonomous controllers of life but rather blueprints that the cell reads or ignores based on environmental signals. He describes documented cases of multiple personality patients whose eye color changes between pers...

Guest host Mark Fellen welcomes author James Howard Kunstler to discuss his book and Rolling Stone article, both titled "The Long Emergency." Kunstler explains the concept of peak oil, noting that U.S. oil production peaked in 1970 and global production is now approaching a similar tipping point. He details how the second half of the world's oil supply will be harder and more expensive to extract....

Art Bell speaks with Peter Cochrane, former head of British Telecom Research, about pervasive electronic surveillance. Cochrane explains RFID technology, tiny radio chips that will replace barcodes on every product, enabling instant scanning and tracking goods from factory to consumer. He describes how shipping containers will soon carry complete histories of their contents, routes, and any tamper...

Art Bell welcomes New York Times bestselling author Gregg Braden to discuss his twelve-year research project revealing what he calls the God Code, a literal text message encoded within the DNA of every living cell. Braden explains that by converting the atomic mass numbers of the four DNA base elements, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon, into their equivalent letters in ancient Hebrew and Ara...

Art Bell welcomes bestselling author and physician Dr. Tess Gerritsen for an exploration of disturbing medical phenomena that blur the line between life and death. She presents multiple documented cases of people declared dead who later revived, including a woman who woke up inside a body bag, a man who grabbed a pathologist by the throat just before autopsy, and a patient who began speaking on an...

Art Bell welcomes Bill Sweet, president of Spindrift Research, to discuss the remarkable and untold story of Bruce and John Klingbeil, a father-and-son team of Christian Science practitioners who spent decades conducting scientific experiments on the measurable effects of prayer. Their tests with soybean seeds demonstrated that prayer could cause over-soaked seeds to release moisture and under-soa...

Dr. Ronald Klatz joins Art Bell to discuss the Marburg outbreak, possible airborne transmission, H2N2 sample mailings, Codex health-freedom concerns, and stem-cell updates after a first-hour biodiesel interview with Joe Jobe. The opening conversation covers the economics of biodiesel fuel, its 80% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared to petroleum diesel, and its potential to reshape Amer...

Dr. Raymond Moody , the physician and philosopher who pioneered modern near-death experience research with Life After Life, joins Art Bell to discuss NDEs, dying, and empathic death experiences. Art opens with alarming reports about the Marburg virus outbreak in Angola, where 213 cases have been recorded with a fatality rate approaching 100 percent, and warnings that the virus may be transmitting...

Art Bell welcomes Major Ed Dames, the retired military intelligence officer and remote viewing instructor known as Dr. Doom, who arrives with several predictions and a disturbing analysis of electronic voice phenomena. Ed claims a hit on his prediction of a major Indonesian earthquake and presents a new forecast: a massive volcanic eruption at Mount Tarawera on New Zealand's North Island, which he...

Nanotechnology expert Charles Ostman , senior fellow at the Institute for Global Futures, joins Art Bell to discuss molecular-scale engineering and commercial applications after Art's opening news on Pope John Paul II, the upcoming papal conclave, and Yucca Mountain nuclear waste data falsification.
