Show Notes

Art Bell hosts the first night of his annual predictions show for 2007, broadcasting once again from the high desert after returning to the United States with his wife Airyn, who has officially immigrated. He opens by reviewing the accuracy of previous years' predictions and establishes the ground rules: one prediction per caller, and only on-air predictions will be recorded. Art notes that 2006 predictions were heavily influenced by the lingering impact of the tsunami, skewing results.

Before opening the phone lines, Art shares predictions from 50 eminent British scientists and a University of Alabama professor, covering topics ranging from hybrid car sales to presidential hopefuls dropping out of the race. He also reports on a massive earthquake off Taiwan that severed all communications to the Philippines, an event that would have prevented him from broadcasting had he remained there.

Callers offer a wide range of predictions touching on politics, natural disasters, technology, and the paranormal. Topics include the North American Union, global warming intensifying, regime change in North Korea, and continued unusual weather patterns. Several callers also take the opportunity to welcome Art back to American soil, expressing genuine surprise at his unannounced return home.
