Art Bell welcomes Dr. Nick Begich for a wide-ranging discussion on electromagnetic technologies and their potential for misuse. Begich details his years of research into HAARP, revealing that the project went dark around 2003 when it transferred to DARPA, cutting off public access and outside scrutiny. He describes testifying before the European Parliament, which subsequently passed a resolution calling for a global ban on weapons capable of manipulating human behavior.

The conversation shifts to modern surveillance capabilities, including the ability of law enforcement to remotely activate cell phones as listening devices through roving wiretaps. Art and Begich wrestle with the tension between national security needs in a post-9/11 world and the erosion of Fourth Amendment protections. Begich argues that existing legal frameworks already provide sufficient latitude for intelligence gathering without mass surveillance of ordinary citizens.

Begich also examines RFID technology and its growing integration into consumer goods and potentially currency itself. He explains how cell phones could serve as activators for RFID tags, creating a comprehensive tracking system that monitors every purchase and movement. The discussion raises urgent questions about where convenience ends and total surveillance begins.

Art Bell welcomes Jim Sparks, a former real estate developer who claims to have experienced 18 years of alien abduction with near-total conscious recall. Unlike most abductees, Sparks says he remembers roughly 90 percent of his encounters and describes the beings, their technology, and their methods in vivid detail. Art opens the show with news of the Space Shuttle Discovery's dramatic nighttime launch before introducing this extraordinary guest.

Sparks recounts how his experiences began in 1988 with recurring dreams of being walked through a window and into the woods, only to discover physical evidence the next morning, including footprints and honeysuckle flowers embedded in carpet where no opening existed. He describes what he calls alien boot camp, a terrifying six-year period of isolation, paralysis, and forced learning sessions involving monitors and telepathic communication with grey beings and taller mantis-like overseers.

Over time, Sparks says he shifted from resistor to cooperator as the beings revealed an environmental message about humanity's destruction of the planet. He discusses their warnings about deforestation, pollution, and the urgent need for conservation, and explains why he believes these beings are invested in the long-term survival of Earth's ecosystems.

Art Bell opens with a killshot update from remote viewing expert Major Ed Dames, who reports alarming findings about a cosmic cycle threatening Earth. Dames describes gravitational waves from beyond the solar system that are intensifying solar activity, heating planetary cores, and driving extreme weather. He warns that fresh water shortages will precede the worst solar events and advises listeners to settle near large bodies of fresh water or glaciers.

Dames reveals that his remote viewing team has identified a contact point in the American Southwest where interaction with a non-human intelligence may occur. He discusses plans to document this event with a prominent filmmaker and shares his belief that an exodus from Earth, facilitated by an outside agency, may be the only survival path for humanity. Art presses him on timelines and the nature of the gravitational force approaching our solar system.

The show then opens to callers, who discuss the growing propagation of evil and why seemingly prosperous nations produce individuals willing to kill innocent civilians. Art reflects on whether removing religion from public life has contributed to the rise of senseless violence, and listeners weigh in with theories on the moral direction of humanity.

Major Ed Dames returns with disturbing updates on his remote viewing predictions, including the infamous "killshot" scenario and new warnings about the propagation of evil across the globe. Dames shares his latest remote viewing sessions revealing accelerating environmental catastrophes, with particular focus on the Earth's core heating up at an exponential rate that could trigger unprecedented geological upheavals. The conversation covers his team's efforts to scientifically validate remote viewing data through collaboration with researchers seeking hard science backing for their predictions. Dames discusses external forces from beyond our solar system that may be influencing these dramatic changes on Earth, painting a picture of interconnected cosmic events affecting our planet's stability. The show transitions to open lines, allowing callers to share their own experiences and insights about the troubling patterns Dames has identified. Throughout the discussion, Dames maintains his controversial yet compelling perspective on how remote viewing can provide early warning systems for global catastrophes. The evening explores the darker aspects of prophecy and prediction, examining whether humanity can prepare for or prevent the disasters that remote viewers claim to foresee.

Art Bell welcomes Sean Carroll, senior research associate in physics at the California Institute of Technology, for a wide-ranging discussion on the nature of time, space-time, and the possibility of time travel. Carroll explains that time has multiple definitions in physics, from the universal clock that labels events to the personal time measured by individual observers, a distinction Einstein revealed through relativity.

Carroll walks through the science of black holes, describing evidence for a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy with a mass millions of times that of the sun. He explains why real time travel, if possible, would resemble space travel rather than the Hollywood version of stepping into a machine and vanishing. The discussion covers upcoming experiments at CERN, why creating a small black hole there would pose no danger, and how gravity is really the curvature of space-time caused by mass and energy.

The conversation also addresses dark energy, the accelerating expansion of the universe, and the mystery of entropy and the arrow of time. Art and Sean explore why time appears to move in only one direction and what the low-entropy state of the early universe tells us about the origins of everything.
