Show Notes

Art Bell presents a two-part program beginning with Linda Moulton Howe's investigation into Project HAARP, the high-frequency radio transmitter in Gakona, Alaska. Cornell professor Michael Kelly explains that HAARP's energy output is far smaller than the natural aurora and poses no environmental threat. Program manager John Heckscher notes the facility is only one-quarter built after a decade of inconsistent funding. Activist Nick Begich urges broader public oversight before the system reaches full power.

Astronomer Tom Van Flandern then presents his hypothesis that Mars was once a moon of a larger planet that exploded, possibly 65 million years ago. He argues the blast stripped away Mars's atmosphere, cratered one entire hemisphere, and sent debris that contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Van Flandern has conducted eight statistical tests on the Cydonia region and concludes the face and surrounding structures are likely artificial in origin.

Most remarkably, Van Flandern reveals that the face sits on Mars's ancient equator, before a pole shift tilted it to its current latitude. He suggests the builders lived on the parent planet and constructed the face to be visible from its surface, raising the possibility that those beings eventually migrated to Earth.
