Schweiger, who has made multiple trips to the spill zone, describes raw crude stretching across the water as far as the eye can see, with oil so...

Art Bell is joined by planetary scientist Dr. David Grinspoon, curator of astrobiology at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and a recipient of the Carl Sagan Medal. The conversation ranges from the likelihood of extraterrestrial life to the private space travel revolution, with Grinspoon noting that the discovery of billions of exoplanets has transformed alien life from speculation into stat...

Art Bell sits down with Dr. Robert Lanza, a scientist whom U.S. News and World Report once likened to Einstein, to discuss his groundbreaking theory of biocentrism. Lanza argues that life and consciousness are not accidental byproducts of physics but are fundamental to the structure of reality itself. He points to well-established quantum experiments showing that particles do not possess definite...

Art Bell welcomes back Dr. David Lewis Anderson, a physicist who disappeared from public view five years earlier while conducting time control research at his Long Island laboratory. Anderson reveals that he went dark to protect his third-generation time warp field generator, which demonstrated the ability to accelerate time at rates far beyond the 300% achieved in 2002. He has since built a globa...

Art Bell sits down with theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku for a wide-ranging conversation about the frontiers of modern physics. Kaku reports that the Large Hadron Collider is operating smoothly after its troubled start, dismissing the theory it was being sabotaged from the future. He explains the collider may soon produce dark matter, invisible material that has mass and gravity but passes th...

Art Bell hosts the second and final night of predictions for 2010, broadcasting from Manila on New Year's Eve as fireworks erupt across the Philippines. He describes the scene as sounding like a war zone. Before opening the lines, Art continues reviewing the previous year's predictions, dinging forecasts of worsening deflation and a meteor strike while bonking predictions of armed rebellion, the H...

Art Bell opens the phone lines for the first of two annual prediction shows, inviting listeners to share their psychic visions for 2010. Broadcasting from Manila, he begins with news that Rush Limbaugh has been hospitalized in Hawaii with chest pains, then sets the ground rules: one prediction per caller, no political wishes disguised as prophecy, no assassination predictions, and every forecast m...

Art Bell welcomes Brendan Cook and Barbara McBeath of the Ghost Investigators Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to researching electronic voice phenomena. The GIS uses cameras, tape recorders, sound meters, motion detectors, and infrared equipment to investigate haunted locations, deliberately avoiding psychics, seances, and Ouija boards in favor of measurable evidence. Cook and McBeath...

Art Bell welcomes Professor William R. Forstchen, a military historian and author of One Second After, to discuss the devastating threat of an electromagnetic pulse attack on the United States. Forstchen explains how a nuclear detonation high in the atmosphere generates a massive gamma ray burst that triggers the Compton effect, cascading free electrons downward and producing hundreds of volts per...

Art Bell hosts researcher Starfire Tor and author Whitley Strieber for a discussion of time anomalies, time shifts, and parallel timelines. Starfire Tor introduces her theory of the Core Matrix, a framework she developed to explain how reality can shift and change in ways that leave physical evidence behind. She describes documented instances where buildings and objects have appeared or vanished w...

Art Bell welcomes Stephen Rorke for an examination of the lunar landing hoax theory, drawing heavily on the research of the late Ralph Rene, author of NASA Mooned America. Rorke presents a dispassionate analysis of anomalies in the Apollo record, emphasizing that Rene sourced his claims directly from NASA documents, press conferences, and official records. The discussion covers troubling questions...

Art Bell broadcasts from Manila during a powerful tropical storm as he welcomes Stephen Rorke and Joseph Meyer for a two-part program covering the ongoing economic meltdown and a stunning expose of the Spiricom device.
