Art Bell interviews researcher Donna Good Higbee, who maintains the world's only database on human spontaneous involuntary invisibility, a phenomenon she has documented through more than 1,400 letters and reports from people worldwide. Higbee describes cases ranging from a woman ignored at a post office despite standing directly in line, to a driver whose car appeared driverless to horrified pedestrians, to a boy who vanished from his friends' sight on a gravel road until he stood three feet in front of them.Higbee connects the phenomenon to measurable planetary changes, citing NASA findings that the Sun's magnetic polarity has disappeared and its emissions are shifting from hydrogen to helium based. She notes that Earth's geomagnetic field is weakening and becoming erratic while the Schumann resonance, the planet's base electromagnetic frequency, is rising from its historical 7.8 Hertz. These changes, she argues, are altering the vibrational frequency of both the planet and certain individuals, causing some to spontaneously shift beyond the narrow visible spectrum.A law enforcement caller describes deliberately using focused intent and mental projection to achieve invisibility during undercover police work and organized crime investigations. Higbee distinguishes this willful technique from the involuntary experiences in her research, noting that historical accounts of saints, shamans, and Mayan wise men describe similar abilities achieved through concentrated willpower.

Art Bell opens with an emotional account of his wife Ramona's severe asthma crisis the previous night, when she turned blue and nearly required an ambulance from their remote home in Pahrump, Nevada. He then reports on the discovery of Chandra Levy's remains in Rock Creek Park, expressing suspicion about how searchers missed the body despite exhaustive prior efforts. Art also covers new earthquake activity in Japan that validated Stan Deyo's thermal prediction from a few days earlier.New York Fire Department Battalion Chief Richard Picciotto, author of "Last Man Down," describes being inside the North Tower of the World Trade Center when it collapsed on September 11, 2001. He recounts climbing to the 35th floor, feeling the South Tower's collapse shake his building, and making the agonizing decision to order a full evacuation without being able to reach the destroyed command post. As he cleared each floor on the way down, he physically dragged a man from his computer desk who refused to leave more than an hour after the plane struck.Picciotto describes reaching the sixth floor when the North Tower began its eight-second collapse, believing he was about to die. He survived in a small void within stairwell B, buried in debris with 13 others in complete darkness, unable to see or initially hear his fellow survivors until he called out into the silence.

Art Bell discusses a stunning nighttime UFO video submitted by Carl Lynch of Chesterfield, Virginia, showing a brightly lit craft captured on a Sony camcorder that Art describes as one of the best nighttime UFO recordings he has ever seen. Carl joins by phone to describe the encounter over Highway 360, where he and his girlfriend observed a cluster of lights with a large red strobing light beneath a seemingly transparent craft. Art also delivers a forceful editorial arguing that continued terrorist attacks against America should be met with decisive military response.Past life regressionist Brian Jamieson then joins to discuss his 33 years and more than 25,000 regressions using a non-hypnotic technique he developed in 1968. Jamieson reports a 98 percent success rate and describes cases where subjects recalled lives on other planets and in other galaxies. He explains how phobias, birth defects, and even sexual orientation may trace back to traumatic events in previous incarnations, citing specific cases of Holocaust survivors whose tattoo numbers were verified through Jewish records.Art and Jamieson explore when souls enter the body, finding no cases of incarnation before the first trimester. They discuss karma as a fair system of restitution rather than punishment, the concept of soulmates reuniting across lifetimes, and how the early Christian church voted reincarnation out of accepted doctrine at the Council of Nicaea.

Art Bell speaks with The Amazing Kreskin, the renowned mentalist who has made a bold public prediction backed by $50,000 of his own money. Kreskin claims that during May or June 2002, the Nevada desert will witness one of the largest UFO sightings of the past century, involving three or four craft visible to scores of witnesses. He describes how the prediction arose from studying the history of sightings and a deep personal conviction, and hints that the event carries significance beyond the sighting itself.In the second segment, Art interviews a man using only the name Gabriel, who claims to work as a private military operative rescuing people from foreign prisons and recovering stolen assets. Gabriel describes assembling six to thirteen man teams for missions costing over a million dollars, vetting recruits through dangerous physical tests, and operating in countries from Peru to Brazil. He recounts being detained by armed federal agents just hours before airtime, getting stabbed in a jail, and narrowly escaping through his legal team.Art probes Gabriel on the morality of killing during operations, his training as a sniper, and how he mentally prepares by considering himself already dead. Gabriel attributes his path to his mother, who taught him from childhood that he must never be a victim or allow others to become victims.

Art Bell welcomes Stan Deyo to analyze a mysterious video showing an unidentified object crashing into the desert at high speed, bouncing airborne, and exploding on second impact. Deyo, who once worked on classified flying saucer technology under Dr. Edward Teller, breaks down the footage frame by frame, identifying an inverted cone signature and magnesium-like debris consistent with an electrically powered craft. He also reports alarming thermal anomalies appearing near the Antarctic ice shelf and warns of an imminent earthquake signature forming beneath Japan.In the second half, Princeton theoretical physicist Paul Steinhardt introduces his cyclic model of the universe, a radical alternative to the standard Big Bang theory. Rather than a singular beginning, Steinhardt proposes the universe undergoes repeating cycles of creation and destruction over trillions of years, with dark energy driving accelerating expansion between each cycle. He explains how gravity depends not just on mass but also on pressure and energy, and how dark energy produces a gravitational repulsion that could theoretically be harnessed.Art presses Steinhardt on the implications for extraterrestrial life, faster-than-light travel, and whether civilizations surviving previous cycles would appear godlike to us. Steinhardt cautions that the vastness of space may keep intelligent species permanently isolated regardless of their technological advancement.

Art Bell returns after a two-week absence caused by an unidentified fever that reached 104 degrees, left doctors baffled, and later spread to his wife. He connects his experience to a breaking story of 18 British soldiers quarantined at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan with a similarly unidentified contagious fever. Bioterrorism author Steve Quayle questions the British Ministry of Defense's immediate denial that the illness is a biological attack, noting the presence of hundreds of local workers with potential Taliban sympathies on the base.Quayle warns that genetically altered pathogens from former Soviet bioweapons labs are now in unknown hands, and he highlights the theft of 96 barrels of sodium cyanide in Mexico as another emerging threat. He urges listeners to educate themselves about biological agents and strengthen their immune systems. Art also addresses the breaking revelation that President Bush received intelligence warnings before September 11th about potential al-Qaeda hijackings.Remote viewing pioneer Ingo Swann and former military remote viewer Paul H. Smith then join to discuss the program's history and termination. Swann reveals that the CIA ended the remote viewing research not solely for political reasons but because the training process was producing telepathic capabilities, threatening the secrecy on which governments depend. Both guests express frustration that the program was disbanded despite its demonstrated operational value in counter-narcotics and intelligence gathering.

Art Bell opens with news commentary on human cloning, the UN water crisis report, and a newly discovered predator insect species in Africa before welcoming energy conservation expert Donald Wulfinghoff. The author of the Energy Efficiency Manual, a comprehensive reference used worldwide, Wulfinghoff explains the global energy timeline. Citing Dr. M. King Hubbert's predictive model, he estimates that world oil and gas production will peak around 2010, with practical depletion occurring mid-century, making conservation an urgent priority.The discussion turns to practical household measures. Wulfinghoff identifies heating and cooling as the largest residential energy consumers and recommends aggressive attic insulation, proper roof ventilation, and strategic window shading as the most cost-effective improvements. He warns against foam insulation inside homes due to its lethal fumes when ignited and advises against ground-source heat pumps in hot climates where the earth gradually warms and efficiency degrades. For new construction, he suggests thick-walled framing, zone-controlled heating with baseboard radiators, and Japanese split-system air conditioners for individual room cooling.Wulfinghoff notes that modern appliances consume roughly one-third the energy of models from 30 years ago, largely through better insulation. He estimates existing homes could reduce energy use to half or even one-third of current levels through practical upgrades, while new homes designed with proper insulation and shading could achieve 80 to 90 percent reductions without any advanced technology.

Art Bell interviews music legend Nancy Sinatra about her upcoming album California Girl, featuring collaborations with Brian Wilson and a collection of California-themed classics. Nancy reflects on her creative partnership with Lee Hazelwood, the origins of their hit that became a fan favorite through Art's bumper music rotation, and her decades-long career through her return to recording. She recalls her emotional USO tour of Vietnam and shares memories of growing up as Frank Sinatra's daughter.In the second half, prophecy author Hal Lindsey examines current events through a biblical lens. He connects escalating Middle East tensions, unusual weather patterns, an unidentified virus closing schools across Greece, and the Catholic Church abuse crisis to prophetic signs described in Scripture. Lindsey outlines how a dispute over Jerusalem could trigger a larger conflict involving Russia, Muslim nations, and eventually Asian forces. He argues these signs are increasing in both frequency and intensity, matching the pattern Jesus described.Art also reports on a local incident in Pahrump, Nevada, where a teenager armed with a machete commandeered a school bus at 70 miles per hour before crashing, with plans to bomb the high school found in his backpack. The story underscores the broader discussion of societal breakdown and prophetic fulfillment.

Art Bell welcomes investigative reporter Linda Moulton Howe, who shares a firsthand account of witnessing three star-like lights moving in a slow triangular formation over the Ozark National Forest on April 14, 2002. Eight other witnesses corroborate the sighting, and pilot Bob Martin notes the formation emerged from the constellation Auriga and faded near Leo. NASA confirms its Cluster satellites cannot explain the observation.Egyptologist John Anthony West joins to discuss the ongoing battle over the age of the Sphinx. Two independent British geologists, David Coxill and Colin Reader, have confirmed the water weathering theory West and geologist Robert Schoch first proposed, suggesting the Sphinx predates conventional dating by thousands of years. West reveals plans for a panel of uncommitted geologists to examine the evidence firsthand, with the cooperation of Egypt's newly appointed Director of Antiquities, Zahi Hawass.In the final segment, filmmaker Peter von Puttkamer presents audio from his documentary on cryptozoological investigations. Eyewitnesses in the New Jersey Pine Barrens describe bone-chilling screams and a daylight sighting of the Jersey Devil. Von Puttkamer also covers chupacabra encounters in Puerto Rico, linking them to ancient Taino legends of a blood-draining creature called the Mosquito Man, and presents photographic evidence of the Cadborosaurus sea serpent from a 1937 whaling station in British Columbia.

Art Bell opens the Friday night phone lines to explore three unusual topics: spontaneous human invisibility, mysterious mirror experiences, and underground encounters. He reads from researcher Donna Good Higbee's investigation into people who report becoming spontaneously invisible in public spaces, unable to be seen or heard by those around them. Callers confirm these experiences with striking personal accounts.The mirror discussion produces equally strange testimony. A caller in Chicago describes catching his reflection frozen in a pose he had already moved from, while a 16-year-old girl recounts seeing a past life image of a man appear during a scrying session before a mysterious voice warned her away. A caller describes using a video camera pointed at a television to create an infinity loop, claiming the captured still frames reveal faces and entities.A man from Missouri claims he experiences time stopping involuntarily, during which he admits to shoplifting from stores undetected. A woman from Tennessee says she learned as a child to will herself invisible, a skill she still uses to avoid traffic stops. Art connects these accounts to Higbee's research on an electron cloud that absorbs light, rendering a person unseen.

Art Bell interviews anarchist author John Zerzan, who advocates dismantling industrial civilization and believes technology inherently reduces human freedom. Zerzan, who owns no car or computer, travels by bicycle, and corresponds with Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, argues that the pre-civilization period of human history spanning roughly two million years demonstrates that organized violence and social alienation are products of civilization rather than human nature.Art challenges Zerzan on the contradictions of using radio technology and air travel to spread an anti-technology message. Zerzan acknowledges the paradox but maintains that participation in the current system is unavoidable while working to change it. He advocates property destruction targeting corporations responsible for environmental harm, distinguishing this from violence against people, and points to the anti-globalization movement as the most promising vehicle for change. The conversation touches on the 1999 Seattle WTO protests, which Zerzan views as an inspirational moment of resistance.The two spar over the internet, with Art arguing it represents unprecedented access to information and Zerzan countering that people have never been more isolated or culturally standardized despite supposed connectivity. Zerzan concedes he has running water, electricity, and a telephone, admitting these are compromises he makes while living within the system he opposes.

Art Bell welcomes Dr. Steven M. Greer, who reveals that the Disclosure Project webcast became the largest in internet history, with 400,000 simultaneous viewers and over one million video downloads of military witnesses testifying about UFOs. Greer announces that his organization, Space Energy Access Systems, is assembling a team of physicists and engineers to build a prototype zero-point energy generator, with work beginning that very week.Greer discusses the suppression of breakthrough energy technologies, describing a pattern of harassment, theft, and even murder targeting inventors and scientists. He names Colonel Charles Brown, a decorated Air Force officer who faced bomb threats after developing improved fuel efficiency technology. Greer argues that disclosing these suppressed energy systems is essential for addressing both climate change and geopolitical instability rooted in oil dependence.In the second half, Native American medicine man Red Elk returns to discuss underground civilizations, describing enormous caves beneath the Earth's surface stretching hundreds of miles. He shares accounts of lizard-like beings called Draconians who colonized Earth long ago, and claims that shape-shifters walk among the surface population undetected. Red Elk warns of coming Earth changes including a polar shift occurring in three jerks over ten months, and teaches that objects in nature possess the ability to communicate with those willing to listen.

Art Bell welcomes Whitley Strieber with breaking news from Chile, where a UFO congress reportedly produced extraordinary close encounters. Witnesses describe a craft landing with beings standing six and a half feet tall in shiny body suits, while 24 conference attendees allegedly experienced a form of teleportation, disappearing physically in front of a large crowd. Strieber notes similar sightings occurred simultaneously near Alice Springs, Australia, featuring triangular craft and silvery beings.The discussion turns to why Latin America and Australia appear to be experiencing more open contact while the United States military posture discourages such encounters. Strieber shares details of a dinner with Monsignor Balducci at the Vatican, where the cleric expressed that contact would primarily be a spiritual matter and indicated the Pope's awareness of the phenomenon. The conversation also addresses accelerating climate change, including the Larsen B ice shelf collapse and a 40 percent slowdown in Atlantic ocean currents.Richard C. Hoagland then presents new Mars Odyssey photographs of the Cydonia region. He argues the images confirm the face-like structure seen in original Viking data, pointing to geometric relationships between the face, a massive five-sided pyramid, and a tetrahedral ruin. Hoagland also highlights NASA administrator Sean O'Keefe's speech advocating nuclear propulsion for deep space exploration.

Art Bell opens with a harrowing firsthand account of a devastating windstorm that struck Pahrump, Nevada, with sustained winds near 100 miles per hour. Local callers describe roofs torn away, pole barns lifted and deposited in neighboring yards, chain-link fences ripped from the ground, and zero visibility from blowing sand that forced drivers to stop in the middle of roads.Storm chaser and photojournalist Warren Faidley joins to discuss the science behind the extreme winds, explaining the intense low-pressure system and pressure gradient that created conditions rivaling the jet stream at ground level. Faidley shares stories from nearly 20 years of professional storm chasing, including his first encounter with an F5 tornado near Red Rock, Oklahoma, where scientists recorded the highest wind speed ever at 318 miles per hour. He describes his custom chase truck equipped with NASCAR-style harnesses and a defibrillator.The conversation covers the physics of tornadoes versus straight-line winds, the dangers of microbursts to aviation, and a troubling decline in tornado activity that may signal broader atmospheric changes. Faidley notes that the growing number of amateur storm chasers since the movie Twister has created safety concerns on chase days across Tornado Alley.

Art Bell opens the phone lines on a Friday night packed with eclectic topics and listener suggestions. Callers propose themed lines for time travelers, extraterrestrials, inventors, and alien implant recipients, while Art covers breaking news including the Venezuelan government overthrow, Secretary Powell's troubled Middle East trip, and the discovery of an ancient underwater city off the coast of India.The evening takes unexpected turns as callers share remarkable stories. A former law enforcement officer describes encountering a bat-faced winged creature with glowing red eyes during a night patrol at a water reservoir, while another caller recounts his cat apparently speaking the words "get away" during a heated feline argument instigated by a neighborhood cat. A self-proclaimed Area 51 employee claims 27 underground levels, tunnels stretching to the Atlantic, and personal experience piloting alien reproduction craft.Art also discusses plasma ball research showing these mysterious objects can increase their energy in defiance of known physics, a man who allegedly shot out his own brain tumor, and the ongoing mystery of chemtrails after a listener reports an FAA representative confirming they are a military operation.

Art Bell welcomes self-described intuitive Sean David Morton for a wide-ranging discussion on geopolitical predictions and classified military operations. Morton claims contact with Pentagon officials involved in a program called Operation Foresight, which reportedly uses remote viewers and intuitives to track terrorist threats against the United States. He describes being given a coordinate to view and locating what he believes is Osama bin Laden in an underground facility near the town of Khost on the Afghan-Pakistan border.Morton discusses a 1994 "soul transference" experience in which he claims to have visited approximately 100 years into the future, witnessing a restructured North American continent divided into 13 nation states. He connects that session's prediction of chemical attacks on Washington, D.C., using a "red mercury" device to current intelligence briefings about al-Qaeda acquiring radioactive isotopes. He also relays claims that six nuclear suitcase devices were smuggled into the United States, with only two recovered.The conversation shifts to a New Scientist report on anomalies in Earth's magnetic field suggesting a possible pole reversal. Morton references Project Nanook findings from the 1960s and a Rand Corporation simulation predicting the magnetic poles could migrate to the equator, with potential consequences for satellite systems, animal migration, and human cognition.

Art Bell speaks with physicist Russell Targ, co-founder of the Stanford Research Institute's investigation into psychic abilities and a pioneer in laser development. Targ describes how his early career as a stage magician taught him to distinguish genuine psychic signals from trickery, a skill that proved essential when the CIA recruited him to conduct remote viewing research under controlled laboratory conditions.Targ explains the concept of non-locality, drawing on Einstein's EPR paper and quantum mechanics to argue that consciousness operates outside ordinary constraints of distance and time. He recounts how remote viewers at SRI successfully described Soviet military installations and Chinese weapons testing sites with startling accuracy. He also discusses published medical studies by his daughter Elizabeth, a psychiatrist, demonstrating that patients who received distant healing prayers had measurably better outcomes than control groups.During the broadcast, Art asks listeners to direct healing energy toward Elizabeth, who is battling a brain tumor. Within thirty minutes, two people maintaining a vigil in her hospital room independently report the room filling with light. Targ also addresses why remote viewers have difficulty locating individuals like Osama bin Laden, explaining that the technique excels at describing fixed locations but struggles without visual landmarks.

Art Bell interviews Professor Kevin Warwick of the University of Reading, who has undergone a groundbreaking surgical procedure to become the world's first true cyborg. Surgeons at Oxford's Radcliffe Infirmary implanted a micro-electrode array directly into the median nerve of his left arm, with 20 small wires tunneling up to a connector pad near his elbow. The two-hour operation, performed under local anesthetic, allows Warwick's nervous system to interface directly with a computer.Warwick describes the tense moment when the array of pins was fired into his functioning nerve using a miniature pneumatic device, risking permanent loss of sensation in his hand. Early results show clear signals when he clenches his fist, and researchers plan to feed ultrasonic sensory data directly into his nervous system, potentially granting him a sense that no human has ever possessed. The professor reports occasional electrical "zings" as his nerves adapt to the implant.Art also covers the FDA's same-day clearance of the VeriChip implantable identification device for the U.S. market, news of a potential first human clone reportedly eight weeks along, and reports of a possible magnetic pole reversal based on anomalies detected by the Orsted satellite.

Art Bell welcomes Brendan Cook and Barbara McBeath of the Ghost Investigators Society to present electronic voice phenomena recordings captured during cemetery and private residence investigations. The nonprofit organization follows strict protocols, using only brand new, unopened microcassette tapes and external microphones to eliminate any possibility of recording over previous material.The EVP samples range from a child's voice saying "good idea" during a homeowner's account of ghostly activity to a deeply distressing recording of what sounds like a young girl pleading for help finding her father. Two separate spirit voices captured on a single recording appear to interact with each other, one saying "come here" and the other responding "what," suggesting active consciousness and communication among entities on the other side. A non-English EVP recorded in a cemetery adds another layer of mystery.The episode also marks a milestone as Art Bell's website reaches 100 million visitors. Mark Zeewee of Madera, California, captures the winning screen and becomes the verified 100 millionth visitor, receiving prizes including an autographed KNYE t-shirt and a CC radio.

Art Bell welcomes Dr. Gary Schwartz, a Harvard-trained professor of psychology at the University of Arizona, to discuss his groundbreaking research into the survival of consciousness after death. Dr. Schwartz explains how the principles of astrophysics and feedback systems in nature suggest that human consciousness, like starlight from distant stars, continues indefinitely after the body dies.The conversation centers on controlled laboratory experiments conducted at Canyon Ranch with mediums including John Edward and Suzanne Northrup. Dr. Schwartz describes a rigorous protocol in which mediums faced a wall, separated from sitters by a screen, and received no verbal or visual cues for the first ten minutes. Despite these restrictions, the mediums produced remarkably specific and accurate information, including details about deceased relatives, their pets, and personal histories.Art also features the remarkable true story of Larry Walters, who in 1982 attached weather balloons to a lawn chair and ascended to 16,000 feet over Los Angeles. Guest Mark Berry presents never-before-aired audio recordings of the flight captured by a CB radio monitoring organization, documenting the communications between Walters, his ground crew, and bewildered aviation authorities.

Art Bell welcomes former Department of Defense war gamer Bonnie Ramthun, who spent seven years running nuclear conflict simulations at a classified facility on Schriever Air Force Base. Ramthun describes entering the windowless war gaming center through a retinal scanner, being weighed in a sealed glass booth, and passing through submarine-style doors with interlocking copper plates before reaching her workstation.Ramthun recounts playing scenarios where full nuclear exchanges between superpowers would produce what gamers called "the hand of God," a pattern of missile trails curving over the poles toward the United States. She explains that early simulations almost always ended in total annihilation until Cold War thinking was replaced by limited strike doctrine. The conversation covers modern threats including biological weapons, the nuclear posture review as a warning to Saddam Hussein, and the thermobaric bomb tested in Afghanistan as a tool for destroying biological facilities without dispersing their contents.Art presses Ramthun about the facility's extreme security measures, and she speculates that the interlocking copper plates in the submarine doors may have been designed to block remote viewing rather than conventional electronic surveillance. She also reveals that the war gaming system was built to simulate scenarios involving non-human adversaries, though she was never granted access to those particular games.

Art Bell checks in with Brian Walker, the self-funded inventor known as Rocket Guy, who is building a personal rocket to launch himself 30 miles straight up into space. Walker, a successful toy inventor who has invested roughly $350,000 into the project, provides an update on his progress since his first appearance on the show nearly a year earlier. He describes his newly constructed 45-foot geodesic dome assembly building and a half-scale test rocket designed to reach 15,000 feet.Walker explains the technical details of his hydrogen peroxide-fueled rocket system, which uses a pneumatic air catapult to accelerate the craft to 30 miles per hour in just eight feet at launch. He describes oversized detachable fins that provide stability at low speeds, then shed at higher velocities. Walker also reveals he purchased a genuine Russian space suit and trained at Star City, where cosmonauts approved his physical fitness for spaceflight after withstanding eight Gs in their centrifuge.The conversation takes a personal turn as Walker shares that he met his fiancee in Russia, a woman who had dreamed of becoming a cosmonaut as a child. He acknowledges the risks involved but emphasizes that survivability remains his top priority, and he will not launch unless three unmanned test flights succeed first.

Art Bell interviews Senator Harry Reid about the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository before welcoming prolific author Brad Steiger to discuss his research into ancient giants and mysterious luminous phenomena. The program opens with Reid making a passionate case against transporting 77,000 tons of nuclear waste through 43 states, calling the plan dangerous in a post-September 11th world and urging listeners to contact their senators.Steiger then joins to discuss a wave of reports involving glowing balls of light, some containing visible beings inside them. He shares his own firsthand encounter with a hooded entity that emerged from a green glowing orb, visited him on two consecutive nights, and telepathically provided the complete outline for his bestselling book Revelation: The Divine Fire. Steiger connects these light phenomena to archetypes embedded in human consciousness, noting that similar orbs appear throughout history and mythology.The discussion shifts to skeletal evidence of ancient giants found worldwide, including remains seven to eight feet tall discovered across the American Southwest, Minnesota, and Death Valley. Some skeletons reportedly featured double rows of teeth, horn-like protrusions, or vestigial tails. Steiger references biblical accounts of the Nephilim and Rephaim and previews his upcoming Learning Channel special on the subject.

Art Bell speaks with Arnold Leibovit, executive producer of the Warner Brothers and DreamWorks remake of The Time Machine, about the film's long journey from concept to screen. Leibovit recounts meeting George Pal, the original film's director, and nurturing the remake idea since the mid-1980s. He describes the intricate new time machine prop, built with period-accurate scientific instruments, and shares how Steven Spielberg's involvement elevated the project.In the second half, Art welcomes Dr. Paul Pearsall, a clinical neuropsychologist and bone marrow transplant survivor, who presents research on cellular memory in organ transplant recipients. Dr. Pearsall describes cases where heart recipients experienced memories belonging to their donors, including a young girl who knew her donor's name and dreamed of the circumstances of the donor's death. He explains that the heart contains 40,000 neurons, produces an electromagnetic field 5,000 times stronger than the brain, and reacts to stimuli faster than the brain does.Dr. Pearsall shares a remarkable story of a donor mother who met her son's heart recipient, a young boy who whispered details about the donor family that he could not have known. The research, published in the Journal of Integrative Medicine, challenges conventional assumptions about consciousness and memory.

Art Bell welcomes Dr. Brian Weiss, a Yale-trained psychiatrist and former chairman of psychiatry at Mount Sinai Medical Center, to discuss his groundbreaking research into past life regression. Dr. Weiss shares how a single patient, Catherine, transformed his understanding of human consciousness when she spontaneously recalled a life from 4,000 years ago during a routine hypnotherapy session, and her lifelong phobias vanished as a result.The conversation covers compelling validation cases, including a patient who recalled a concentration camp number that matched historical records and a Chinese physician who spoke fluent English during regression despite never having learned the language. Dr. Weiss explains how the early Christian church removed references to reincarnation at the Council of Nicaea for political reasons, and that most of the world's population already embraces the concept.Art and Dr. Weiss also explore future life progressions, the relationship between reincarnation and modern physics concepts like non-locality, and a new CD included with his book Mirrors of Time that allows listeners to attempt their own regressions at home. The first hour features open lines and discussion of a missile defense test visible across the Southwest.
