Art Bell opens the program with Dr. Joseph Gold of the Syracuse Cancer Research Institute to discuss hydrazine sulfate, an inexpensive compound he has researched for decades as a cancer treatment. Dr. Gold explains that the drug works by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver that drives cachexia, the wasting process responsible for up to 70 percent of cancer deaths. He reports that controlled clinical...

Art Bell sits down with theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku of the City University of New York for a wide-ranging conversation about the frontiers of science and the future of space exploration. The discussion begins with NASA's announcement that astronomers have observed a black hole dragging space and time around itself, confirming a 1918 prediction from Einstein's general relativity. Dr. Kaku...

The program opens with Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center providing a detailed update on the mysterious lights seen streaking across Pacific Northwest skies the previous week. Davenport reveals that witness accounts and trajectory data contradict the offi...

Art Bell interviews self-educated physicist Charles Cagle, a Vietnam veteran and former commercial fisherman whose research into ball lightning led him to a sweeping theory connecting solar activity to catastrophic Earth changes. Cagle explains how ball lightning forms a stable plasma structure capable of sustaining fusion reactions, something billions of dollars in laboratory research has failed...

Art Bell welcomes rocket scientist David Adair, who recounts his extraordinary journey from building rockets as a child in rural Ohio to a classified encounter at Area 51. Adair describes growing up around NASCAR machine shops with access to titanium, aircraft aluminum, and cryogenic fuels, which allowed him to build and launch increasingly powerful rockets from age 11. By 17, he had constructed a...

Art Bell presents investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe''s follow-up report on the mysterious lights witnessed across the Pacific Northwest two nights earlier.
