December 9, 1998: Earth Changes - Speaking Wind Patrick Quirk

Art Bell welcomes Speaking Wind, a Native American author of Pueblo descent raised by spiritual elders Grandfather Two Bears and White Eagle in the mountains of northern New Mexico. Speaking Wind discusses ancient prophecy describing four distinct worlds of approximately 10,000 years each, with humanity now approaching the end of the fourth world. He places the final day at December 22, 2012, after which a fifth world of peace begins for those who survive the transition.Speaking Wind describes a planetary cleansing that began in June 1998, marked by waves of unexplained depression and anxiety felt worldwide. He connects these effects partly to HAARP technology, which he says interferes with Earth''s magnetic field and disrupts human behavior, bird migration, and marine life. He warns of rising sea levels exceeding 65 feet, reawakening Pacific Ring volcanoes, and ocean-borne bacteria already causing illness among swimmers off California and Florida.The conversation turns philosophical as Speaking Wind counsels listeners on releasing fear and embracing self-knowledge. He estimates roughly one in a thousand people will physically survive into the fifth world, though he emphasizes that no soul is ultimately lost. He shares the Pueblo teaching that Venus was once a runaway planet whose near-collision with Earth destroyed a primordial garden, an event imprinted on all living things.

December 8, 1998: Arizona Storm at Turret Peak - Richard C. Hoagland

Art Bell brings back Richard C. Hoagland for an in-depth examination of the strange events at Turret Mountain in central Arizona on December 7th. Hoagland presents Phoenix weather radar imagery showing an anomalous ring formation, approximately 100 miles across, centered precisely over Turret Mountain during a massive and historically rare snowstorm. He argues the ring represents organized crystalline snow patterns created by an energy pulse from below the mountain.Eyewitness Terry Major, who drove a four-wheel vehicle to the base of Turret Peak during the storm, joins the program. Major confirms that directly above the mountain he observed a perfectly circular opening of clear blue sky surrounded by heavy cloud cover. He describes encountering a mysterious truck with cage-like containers descending the only road leading to the peak. Major captured photographs and video during his expedition.Hoagland correlates HAARP activity data with the electromagnetic pulse recorded by researcher Charles Plyler, and references Bureau of Reclamation tunnels measuring 19.5 feet wide found exclusively in Arizona. He theorizes that an underground device or artifact was activated beneath Turret Mountain, producing the energy signature that organized the snowfall into the radar-visible ring pattern.

December 7, 1998: Arizona Storm at Turret Peak - Richard C. Hoagland | MUFON - William A. Lester Jr.

Art Bell opens with William A. Lester Jr., state section director of MUFON Georgia, who reports unprecedented UFO activity across the state. Witnesses describe domed craft hovering over ball fields, ring-shaped objects with orbiting colored lights, and large silent triangles following vehicles. Scorched ground traces were found at one landing site near Atlanta, though rain had begun eroding the evidence before investigators arrived.Richard C. Hoagland then delivers an update on the December 7th Turret Mountain situation in central Arizona. He reports that an extraordinary and historically unusual snowstorm blanketed the region, closing Interstate 17 and the Beeline Highway. Simultaneously, geophysics researcher Charles Plyler recorded an intense electromagnetic pulse at 2:37 Greenwich Mean Time that nearly overwhelmed his instruments at multiple widely separated monitoring stations.Hoagland correlates HAARP ionospheric heater activity with the storm timing and presents Phoenix weather radar data showing an anomalous circular ring formation centered precisely over Turret Mountain. He also discusses newly released Majestic 12 documents and previews an upcoming disclosure program featuring Dr. Robert M. Wood and Ryan Wood with Linda Moulton Howe.

December 4, 1998: Mars Landing Update - Richard C. Hoagland | Y2k - Gary North

Art Bell opens with a quick update from Richard C. Hoagland on the predicted December 7th event in central Arizona. Hoagland identifies Turret Mountain, located at the geometric center of the state, as the specific location where something may occur. He provides coordinates and warns listeners that the situation could be hazardous, while noting military activity near Payson and a suspicious FAA flight restriction over the area.The program then shifts to a full Y2K discussion with economist Gary North, whom Art describes as vindicated after 60 Minutes aired a sobering report echoing his warnings. North explains the origins of the two-digit date problem and why it was never corrected despite decades of awareness. He details how Citicorp alone expects to spend nearly $900 million on repairs while Japan''s 19 largest banks have budgeted a fraction of that amount.North addresses the banking system''s vulnerability, the Federal Reserve''s plan to print $50 billion in extra currency, and a new FDIC profiling program to monitor unusual withdrawals. He warns that nuclear power plants face a July 1999 compliance deadline from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and that no major utility or bank on Earth has yet declared full Y2K compliance.

December 1, 1998: TWA Flight 800 Investigation - Capt. William S. Donaldson

Art Bell welcomes retired Navy Commander William S. Donaldson, a career naval aviator and aviation safety expert, for a detailed investigation into the TWA Flight 800 disaster of July 1996. Donaldson presents his case that the official explanation of a spontaneous center fuel tank explosion is scientifically impossible, citing the fuel type Jet A1 and its resistance to ignition under normal flight conditions.Two eyewitnesses join the program. Major Fred Myers, a decorated combat helicopter pilot flying a Black Hawk at 200 feet that evening, describes seeing a streak of light followed by what he identifies as a high-explosive ordnance detonation before the fuel fireball. Richard Goss, watching from the West Hampton Yacht Squadron, recounts a bright object rising from near the surface, leveling off, and making a sharp left turn before the explosion.Donaldson lays out debris field analysis showing wreckage patterns inconsistent with a center tank failure, including a six-inch through-hole penetrating the fuselage and nose section fragments scattered thousands of feet from the flight path. He concludes the physical evidence points to a missile engagement, possibly involving an Iranian AIM-54A Phoenix missile.

November 27, 1998: Ghost Stories - Open Lines

Art Bell dedicates the entire broadcast to listener ghost stories, fulfilling a promise delayed from Halloween when the Pegasus story interrupted the planned Ghost to Ghost edition. He opens by explaining his fascination with spirits as potential evidence of existence after death, then reads accounts including a 1928 Vancouver tale of a headless brakeman haunting railway yards and a paramedic's uncanny visit to the Hotel Del Coronado seemingly orchestrated by its resident ghost.Callers share remarkable encounters from across the country and beyond. A man in El Cajon describes seeing his deceased mother-in-law's apparition and finding her footprints on white carpet, while a former nuclear electrician from the USS Enterprise recounts how the ghost of a vaporized sailor would physically grab sleeping watchstanders by the hair. A San Diego police officer tells of a bleeding figure who vanished within seconds, and a stuntman describes being kept awake by a tuxedo-wearing specter at a former Al Capone hotel in Coral Gables.A fire dispatcher recounts the most elaborate story of the night, describing a vivid dream in which he was transported to 1864 and experienced the deaths of an entire Mexican village through a young woman who had stayed behind to care for the dying. Art reflects on why spirits seem bound to specific locations and whether traumatic deaths create portals allowing other entities to pass through.

November 26, 1998: Biblical History - Father Charles Moore

Art Bell speaks with Father Charles Moore, a retired Catholic priest recommended by Zecharia Sitchin, who integrates Sitchin's research about the Anunnaki into his theological framework. Father Moore explains that inserting the ancient gods into the accepted biblical paradigm resolves contradictions that have long puzzled scholars, arguing that the Anunnaki served as emissaries of a greater cosmic God rather than replacing traditional theology.Moore reveals that he shared these views with a bishop friend from seminary who acknowledged their validity but admitted he could never speak of them publicly. He describes how the arrangement of the twelve tribes of Israel in the desert corresponds exactly to the zodiac, and identifies the biblical figure Azazel as the specific Anunnaki whose unauthorized genetic interference with humans led to the decision not to rescue humanity from the Great Flood.The discussion takes a dramatic turn when Moore claims the third secret of Fatima, which he says was released by the Vatican, predicts a bolide impact on June 30, 1999, the same date independently identified by Graham Hancock in The Mars Mystery. Moore connects this to Nostradamus and Father Malachi Martin's warnings to keep eyes on the sky, suggesting these convergent predictions point toward a potential extinction-level event.

November 25, 1998: How to be a Prophet - Alan Vaughan

Art Bell interviews Dr. Alan Vaughn, documented by the Central Premonitions Registry as the most successful predictor among 3,500 participants from 28 countries over two decades of recorded forecasts. Vaughn describes how he transitioned from skeptical science textbook editor to psychic researcher after unexplained experiences in the 1960s, including a Ouija board session that accurately predicted the worst blizzard in 80 years and a prophetic dream about the assassination of Robert Kennedy.Vaughn explains his theory linking ESP, precognition, and UFO sightings to periods of low geomagnetic activity, suggesting consciousness extends into other dimensions where time does not exist in linear form. Art shares his own vivid premonition experience in Santa Barbara, where overwhelming waves of feeling warned him seconds before a driver reversed into his parked car.The conversation turns to predictions, including Vaughn's published forecast that Clinton would not be impeached or resign, and a more alarming vision of a major earthquake centered roughly 100 miles east of Los Angeles in 1999, potentially reaching magnitude 7.8 to 8.0. Vaughn also discusses his software designed to train intuitive abilities and the potential of group consciousness to influence physical events.

November 24, 1998: Conversations with God - Neal Walsch | Cosmic Code - Zecharia Sitchin

Art Bell speaks with Zecharia Sitchin about his latest book, The Cosmic Code, which examines ancient Sumerian texts describing the genetic engineering process used by the Anunnaki to create humanity. Sitchin explains how detailed study of these ancient accounts could provide shortcuts for modern geneticists seeking to cure hereditary diseases, arguing the tablets contain step-by-step records of how genes were added and subtracted during the creation of the first humans.Sitchin discusses physical evidence supporting his theories, including massive stone platforms at Baalbek in Lebanon weighing over a thousand tons, colossal blocks beneath Jerusalem, and a Sumerian artifact depicting a one-man spacecraft now on display in Istanbul. He also recommends Catholic priest Father Charles Moore, who teaches using Sitchin's research, as a future guest.In the second half, Art interviews Neale Walsch, whose Conversations with God trilogy occupies multiple spots on bestseller lists. Walsch recounts how a personal crisis led to an extended written dialogue he attributes to God, organized around three core truths: we are all one, there is enough, and there is nothing we have to do. The conversation examines how shifting from doing to being transformed his life and relationships.

November 23, 1998: Pegasi Hoax - Richard C. Hoagland

Art Bell welcomes Richard C. Hoagland for an update on several developing stories, including anomalies surrounding the Leonid meteor shower that arrived 19.5 hours ahead of schedule. Hoagland presents frames from NASA video showing an unidentified object captured during the Leonid observation flights over Okinawa, raising questions about what the space agency inadvertently recorded.The conversation turns to the Pegasus signal controversy and reports of a possible landing event predicted for December 6th or 7th. Hoagland shares intelligence from a Pentagon source claiming a hostile object is approaching from the constellation Pegasus, while ground reports of military activity near the alleged landing site add further intrigue to the unfolding story.Art also speaks with former submariner Howard Weinstein about life aboard a nuclear submarine commanded by the technical advisor for The Hunt for Red October. Callers weigh in on the Dr. Reed alien encounter story and the recent Church of Satan interview, while Art addresses his philosophy of presenting stories and letting listeners decide for themselves.

November 13, 1998: Remote Viewing - Ed Dames | Pegasi Hoax - Richard C. Hoagland

Art Bell opens by recounting his receipt of the CSICOP Snuffed Candle Award, presented on Friday the 13th for what skeptics called paranormal mystery mongering. Reporter Ed Bannon, who attended the Los Angeles press conference, describes challenging the presenters with Scientific American's own 1905 dismissal of heavier-than-air flight. Richard C. Hoagland then updates the EQ Pegasi investigation, revealing that the real Paul Doerr has been caught altering email headers on the same sites used by the original imposter, and that a new candidate for the hoaxer has been identified.Hoagland raises alarm about a reported Y2K test scheduled for Galaxy 5 during the Leonid meteor storm, warning that the satellite carrying Art's broadcast and 30 percent of U.S. telephone service could go dark. He also reveals that NASA plans to keep Hubble's aperture open during the storm to photograph a distant quasar, despite the risk of plasma damage from vaporized meteors, and notes leaked news reports announcing a two-year Hubble shutdown before any failure has occurred.Ed Dames presents results from two months of technical remote viewing sessions applied to passages from Revelation. He identifies what he calls the mark of the beast as a mandated but defective AIDS vaccine arriving within three years, and places his long-predicted solar kill shot event within the seventh seal timeline around 2001. He also reveals that remote viewing the abomination of desolation produced descriptions of church-sanctioned same-sex marriages.

November 11, 1998: Global Conspiracy - David Icke

Art Bell hosts David Icke, who lays out his theory that a network of interbreeding bloodlines originating from ancient extraterrestrial-human hybridization has maintained control over global affairs for thousands of years. Icke traces these lineages from Sumerian texts and the Caucasus Mountains region through the royal houses of Europe and into modern American politics, citing Burke's Peerage research showing that 33 of 42 U.S. presidents share genetic ties to England's King Alfred the Great and Charlemagne.Icke explains his framework of control through what he calls Problem, Reaction, Solution, a technique where crises are manufactured so the public demands changes that further centralize power. He applies this model to gun legislation following mass shootings, environmental policy driven by the Club of Rome, and the potential staging of an extraterrestrial threat as outlined in the 1960s Report from Iron Mountain. He also connects the Tavistock Institute to mass consciousness manipulation and individual mind control programs.Art presses Icke on whether he himself could be an unwitting participant in this system, given his position within a major broadcasting corporation. Icke responds that most people within these pyramidal structures have no awareness of the broader agenda, and that the real power lies not at the top but in the base of the pyramid, which unknowingly sustains the entire system through compliance.

November 10, 1998: Alien Encounters - Robert Raith | Beyond the Big Bang - Paul LaViolette

Art Bell presents stunning photographs sent by Robert Raith depicting what Raith claims is an alien craft hovering in Washington State forest and the body of a being killed by psychologist Dr. Jonathan Reed. According to Raith, Reed was hiking with his dog when the animal attacked the creature. After the alien killed the dog, Reed struck the being with a heavy branch. The photographs, developed by Kodak on 35-millimeter film, show the craft resembling a black diamond shape and the alien with childlike proportions, a large head, and dark eyes.Raith explains that an earlier package of evidence was stolen from a courier who was physically attacked, and that associates who knew about the encounter have either disappeared or died. Art displays the original photographs on his studio camera and posts them to his website, which immediately buckles under the traffic. A follow-up interview with Raith and Dr. Reed is announced for the following night.In the second half, Dr. Paul LaViolette challenges Big Bang cosmology, arguing for a continuous creation model supported by what he calls subquantum kinetics. He contends that cosmological redshift results from photon energy loss in low-gravity regions rather than universal expansion, and that ancient creation myths from Egypt, Greece, and the Tarot encode a sophisticated wave-based physics lost after prehistoric cataclysms.

November 9, 1998: EQ Pegasi Signal - Richard C. Hoagland

Art Bell and Richard C. Hoagland dig deeper into the unfolding EQ Pegasi signal controversy, examining whether the widely reported internet hoax is actually a disinformation campaign concealing a genuine detection. Hoagland reveals that the real Paul Doerr, whose identity was used in the original postings, has privately accused Hoagland himself of orchestrating the affair, a claim Hoagland finds deeply suspicious given Doerr's own former connections to Lockheed Martin.New technical evidence arrives just before airtime from an American amateur radio astronomer with access to dishes up to 30 meters in diameter who reports detecting a hard analog signal at the reported frequency. Hoagland notes that plotting all detection data points produces a logarithmic curve consistent with a decelerating probe approaching from interstellar space. He also highlights the unusual appearance of an editorial about alien probes on the SETI League website and his own listing on Seth Shostak's official SETI Institute chronology of the story.Art reads a listener fax proposing that the entire Pegasi scenario could be a staged prelude to a fabricated alien landing designed to justify one-world government. Hoagland discloses that his Pentagon source originally named Mountain View, California, home of the SETI Institute at NASA Ames, as the projected landing site. The two agree to pursue the story until the truth emerges.

November 6, 1998: Ancient Astronauts - Erich von Daniken

Art Bell welcomes Erich von Daniken, bestselling author of Chariots of the Gods, for his first-ever appearance on the program. Von Daniken presents his theory that extraterrestrial visitors landed on Earth thousands of years ago, leaving behind evidence in the Nazca Lines of Peru, ancient Indian texts describing orbital cities and smaller vehicles called Vimanas, and biblical accounts like Ezekiel's detailed descriptions of a technical craft.The conversation delves into von Daniken's belief that extraterrestrials genetically modified early hominids to create intelligent humans, a concept he finds echoed across world religions. He points to the Hebrew word Elohim, a plural form suggesting multiple gods, and draws parallels between the story of Adam and Eve and a deliberate act of genetic engineering. Von Daniken also discusses hidden artifacts, including the Ark of the Covenant guarded beneath an Ethiopian cathedral and a mysterious mirror buried with a Japanese emperor.Callers challenge von Daniken on spiritual versus physical interpretations of scripture, while he addresses past criticisms of his earlier work. He acknowledges youthful errors in Chariots of the Gods but maintains that his newer books, including The Arrival of the Gods, meet scientific standards. He also announces plans for a mystery-themed park in Interlaken, Switzerland, designed to bring the world's ancient enigmas to the public.

November 4, 1998: EQ Pegasi - Richard C. Hoagland

Art Bell devotes the full program to unraveling the EQ Pegasi signal story with Richard C. Hoagland after the planned London press conference is canceled and the GeoCities clearinghouse website is replaced by an NSA seal. Hoagland reveals that his on-the-ground contacts in London discovered the press conference was never actually booked at the stated venue, the reporter who allegedly covered it does not exist, and an MSNBC journalist received a denial from someone claiming to be Doerr.Despite this apparent collapse of the original narrative, Hoagland argues the hoax was deliberately constructed to discredit a genuine signal. He points to extraordinary data from the Australian Telescope Compact Array, which detected a powerful narrow-band spike four times above the noise floor in the direction of Pegasus but dismissed it as satellite interference without identifying the source. The three independent detections from Guernsey, Japan, and Australia all show a decreasing frequency that fits a curve consistent with a decelerating object arriving near Earth in early December.Art opens all phone lines exclusively to callers with relevant information. A former counterintelligence agent analyzes Doerr's final statement as classic disinformation, while a Montreal translator confirms the French website contains no additional signal data. Hoagland announces that an Enterprise Mission associate in Los Angeles is building a receiver to attempt independent confirmation within days.

November 3, 1998: Anti-Aging & How To Beat The Clock - Richard C. Hoagland & Dr. Ronald Klatz

Art Bell speaks with Dr. Ronald Klatz, president of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, about breakthroughs that could dramatically extend the human lifespan. Dr. Klatz explains how hormone replacement therapy, antioxidant supplementation, and early genetic testing are already enabling physicians to reverse biological age by ten to twenty years in their patients. He predicts that 50 percent of baby boomers alive today will reach their 100th birthday in excellent health.The conversation moves into more speculative territory as Dr. Klatz describes British Telecom's Soul Catcher 2025 project, an implantable chip designed to record a lifetime of sensory experience behind the eye. He and Art explore the philosophical implications of downloading consciousness into a computerized duplicate, debating whether an immortal soul would transfer with it or remain tied to the physical body. Dr. Klatz also addresses the ethical concerns surrounding human cloning and computerized implants.In the first hour, Richard C. Hoagland provides an update on the EQ Pegasi signal story, reporting that the planned London press conference is confirmed for November 4th and that a retired NASA heavyweight has analyzed the signal data and considers it definitively artificial. Art continues to press for independent amateur confirmation of the signal as the story intensifies ahead of the scheduled announcement.

November 2, 1998: EQ Pegasi - Richard C. Hoagland

Art Bell welcomes Richard C. Hoagland for a detailed follow-up on the alleged signal from the EQ Pegasi star system. Hoagland reports that Paul Doerr, the British engineer at the center of the story, plans to hold a press conference in London at the Scientific Society's Lecture Theater on Seville Row, sponsored by the International Astronomical Union and the British Astronomical Association. A Japanese amateur radio astronomer has now independently detected the signal, but at a frequency roughly two megahertz lower than Doerr's original detection.This frequency drop aligns precisely with Hoagland's on-air prediction from days earlier that if the source were a decelerating probe rather than a distant star, the signal should shift downward over time. Retired NASA scientist Dr. James Warwick, the principal investigator of the Voyager planetary radio astronomy experiment, examines the Japanese data and concludes the signal is definitely artificial and likely nearby based on its stability and lack of interstellar scintillation.Hoagland notes that Harvard's Project Beta SETI telescope has mysteriously stopped posting its ten-minute sky scan updates and appears to be pointed at the Pegasus constellation. Art appeals to amateur radio operators worldwide to train their dishes on the coordinates and report any findings, while acknowledging the story could still prove to be an elaborate hoax.

Art Bell continues his Halloween tradition with a second night of real ghost stories from callers across the country and around the world. An EMS worker recounts a deeply personal encounter while staying at the Hotel Del Coronado, where unexplained upgrades, free meals, and a vanishing hotel bill suggest he became the guest of the legendary ghost Kate Morgan.A man in southern California describes a terrifying entity that pinned him face-down on his waterbed and bound his tongue, later learning the apartment was the scene of a shotgun murder. A Navy electrician stationed aboard the USS Enterprise shares how ghostly presences in the switchgear rooms would grab sleeping watchstanders by the hair, attributed to crewmen who had been vaporized by electrical arcs years earlier. A police officer from San Diego recalls spotting a bloodied man on a street corner at 3 a.m. who vanished in seconds with no trace.Callers describe encounters ranging from a man in Minnesota who claims to have conversed with the spirit of John Dillinger during what he calls a circular gathering for the mortality impaired, to a grieving pet owner who found fresh paw prints pressed into his mattress the morning after his dog was euthanized. Art weaves in discussion of why spirits remain tied to specific locations and whether material objects carry memories of past events.

October 30, 1998: Ghost to Ghost 1998 | EQ Pegasi - Richard C. Hoagland & Seth Shostak

Art Bell opens his annual Ghost to Ghost broadcast with a stunning photograph from a firefighter in Missouri showing what appears to be a Native American warrior on horseback in the flames of a practice fire on an Indian burial ground. Listeners share chilling accounts of apparitions, haunted hotels, and ghostly encounters from locations around the world.The evening takes a dramatic turn when Art breaks in with developing news about a possible signal from the EQ Pegasi star system. A second independent confirmation arrives from a radio amateur in Guernsey, who reports detecting a narrow-band signal at 1453.8273 megahertz that appears and disappears when his dish is moved on and off the target coordinates. Richard C. Hoagland joins to reveal that the original anonymous engineer, now identified as Paul Doerr, is a credentialed radar specialist with British aerospace firms.SETI astronomer Seth Shostak weighs in with cautious skepticism, noting the signal could be terrestrial interference entering through antenna side lobes. He acknowledges interest but offers to bet a double latte that this is not first contact. Hoagland proposes the signal may originate from a decelerating interstellar probe rather than the distant star itself, calculating an approach speed of roughly 4,000 miles per second based on the apparent Doppler shift.

Art Bell hosts the annual Ghost to Ghost broadcast, inviting listeners to share their most unsettling encounters with the unexplained. He opens by reading several submitted accounts, including a martial artist who threw punches through a transparent figure kneeling beside his bed and a police officer who witnessed a featureless shadow figure with a white collar standing in an old church parsonage. Art directs listeners to a photograph on his website showing what appears to be a woman manifesting through a closed door.Callers from across the country and around the world share their experiences. A retired New York City fire lieutenant recounts a story from Rescue 1, where a firefighter felt invisible hands gripping his ankles in a pitch-black bunk room, later discovering that a fireman had died of a heart attack in that exact bed 20 years earlier. A Charleston police officer describes a terrifying childhood encounter with a dog-like demonic entity that his brother independently confirmed seeing in the same house. A female truck driver reports a paralyzing experience at mile marker 163 on I-25 near Albuquerque where her body went numb and began to levitate.A retired sheriff's captain recalls a ghost cat that attacked him in an old western courthouse, reportedly passing through his body according to a witness, before a ghostly man appeared at the top of the stairs and slowly dissipated.

October 23, 1998: Hilly Rose - Secret History of Jesus - Dr. Glenn Kimball

Fill-in host Hilly Rose welcomes researcher Glenn Kimball for a discussion spanning 25 years of research into ancient manuscripts about the historical Jesus. Kimball draws from records found in the Vatican's 17-mile library, the British Museum, and archives across Europe to present a portrait of Jesus that differs sharply from popular tradition. He argues that Jesus' father Joseph was not a poor carpenter but a wealthy architect and builder, and that the family belonged to the royal House of David with access to fleets of merchant vessels.Kimball traces connections between Jesus' family and England, claiming that the Virgin Mary's mother was born there and that Joseph of Arimathea, Jesus' great-uncle, owned tin and lead mines in Britain. He describes how the Magi who visited the infant Jesus came from Persia, Arabia, and India, and that Jesus himself spent approximately three years in India where he is quoted in Hindu sacred texts. Kimball also discusses the calendar error of Dionysius Ignatius, arguing that Jesus was born in 7 B.C. and was approximately 40 years old at his death.Callers ask about the Book of Jasher, the Quran's references to Jesus, and the historical evidence for the resurrection, including Kimball's claim that Pontius Pilate himself encountered the risen Jesus and had a scribe record their conversation.

October 23, 1998: Art's statement on his sudden resignation

Art Bell delivers a brief but deeply personal recorded statement addressing his unexpected departure from the airwaves. Speaking from the Kingdom of Nye, he tells listeners that while the difficulties that caused him to leave have not been fully resolved, the situation has improved to some degree. He describes the crisis as among the gravest any family could face and asks for understanding regarding his silence on the details.Art firmly denies any suggestion that his departure was a hoax, a stunt, a contract ploy, or a negotiation tactic for more money. He states categorically that not a single element of his contract has changed and emphasizes that money has never been his motivation for doing the program. He warns that should the private matter become public despite his efforts to keep it contained, he will have a great deal to say about it.The statement closes on a hopeful note as Art announces his return to the show beginning Wednesday night, October 28th. He expresses sincere gratitude to his network for their support, to fill-in host Hilly Rose for keeping the live forum going on very short notice, and to his listeners for their patience and concern during the ordeal.

October 1, 1998: Fatima Secret - Ed Dames

Art Bell welcomes remote viewer Ed Dames of SciTech International for a wide-ranging discussion that begins with a stunning announcement. Dames reveals the precise location of Amelia Earhart's crashed Lockheed Electra off the island of Kuria in the Gilbert Islands, releasing detailed maps on his website and announcing plans to retrieve the wreckage within three months. He also describes a breakthrough "tachyon device" developed from Cold War-era intelligence research that uses human DNA and emotional states to achieve instantaneous non-electronic communication across any distance.The conversation takes a dramatic turn when Dames presents the results of his team's remote viewing of the Third Secret of Fatima. He claims the secret corresponds directly to the opening of the sixth seal from the Book of Revelation, describing catastrophic earthquakes, volcanism, war, and meteors falling from the sky. Dames connects these findings to an immense gamma ray burst that recently struck Earth's atmosphere, which he identifies as the precursor event his team had previously predicted.Art and Dames also discuss the African plant pathogen, a fungal accelerant that Dames says was dispersed over the continent, along with an update on mysterious green fireballs reported worldwide. Dames announces that his most important future project will be identifying the biblical mark of the beast.
