1In this year-end tradition, the phone lines open for listeners to share their boldest predictions for the coming year. From visions of political upheaval and technological breakthroughs to natural disasters and paranormal events, the calls range from insightful to uncanny - and sometimes unsettling.
Professor James McCanney returns to discuss the hidden layers of global space programs, offering alternative interpretations of astronomy, celestial mechanics, and the true scope of off-world exploration. He questions the transparency of space agencies, explores the role of electric universe theory, and considers how suppressed knowledge about comets, planetary systems, and space technology might reshape our understanding of the cosmos.
Researcher Richard C. Hoagland returns to explore why Mars may hold the key to humanity's past - and future. He discusses anomalies in NASA imagery, including the controversial structures in the Cydonia region, and presents his case for a lost civilization on the Red Planet. Hoagland also addresses the political and scientific implications of Mars exploration, suggesting that the truth about our planetary neighbor is far more complex - and concealed - than most realize.
Inventor and robotics expert Ron Fink joins the program to discuss the evolving landscape of robotic innovation. From military applications and industrial automation to personal assistants and ethical dilemmas, Fink explores how intelligent machines are reshaping daily life and redefining the boundaries between human and machine. He also shares insights into the future of AI, autonomy, and the responsibility that comes with creating systems capable of decision-making.
Spiritual medium James Van Praagh shares insights into his work connecting with the other side. Through messages from the departed, he offers comfort, closure, and validation for those seeking contact with lost loved ones. Van Praagh discusses the nature of the afterlife, spirit guides, and the healing power of mediumship.
Dr. Michio Kaku returns to examine the realities of nuclear weapons in the modern age. From accidental launches to rogue state conflicts and terrorism, Kaku outlines the most plausible nuclear scenarios facing the world today. With scientific clarity and geopolitical insight, he discusses deterrence theory, disarmament prospects, and the delicate balance that keeps catastrophe at bay.
Author and researcher Harry Helms joins the program to discuss the hidden networks of influence that operate beyond public scrutiny. From black budgets and clandestine intelligence operations to underground facilities and global surveillance, Helms outlines how real-world power may be concentrated in secretive circles.
Dr. Nick Begich returns to provide an in-depth update on the HAARP (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) project. He discusses the potential uses - and dangers - of this powerful technology, including its implications for weather modification, mind control, and electromagnetic warfare. Begich explores the fine line between scientific research and weaponized innovation, raising questions about government transparency and global security.
Dr. Steven M. Greer joins the conversation to share updates from the Disclosure Project, highlighting testimonies from military and intelligence insiders about UFOs, non-human technology, and the push for global transparency. He emphasizes peaceful contact initiatives and the role of consciousness in extraterrestrial engagement. In the second half, forensic illustrator Bill McDonald explores visual reconstructions of alleged alien craft and discusses the possibility of reverse-engineered aerospace vehicles.
Physicist and whistleblower Bob Lazar returns to discuss his firsthand experience working on reverse-engineered extraterrestrial craft at a secretive facility near Area 51. He revisits the controversial claims of gravity-based propulsion systems, exotic materials like Element 115, and the implications for energy and transportation. Lazar also explores his more recent work in alternative energy, bridging his past with present efforts to unlock revolutionary technologies.
Author Matthew Alper joins the program to present his provocative theory that spiritual belief is a hardwired function of the human brain. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and evolutionary biology, Alper argues that the human need for a higher power may be a survival mechanism encoded into our neural architecture. Together, they explore questions of consciousness, faith, and whether our spiritual instincts are rooted in biology rather than divinity.
Private investigator and counter-surveillance expert Roger Tolces discusses the disturbing world of electronic harassment, surveillance technologies, and targeted individuals. He outlines the tools allegedly used for monitoring and manipulating citizens - from electromagnetic weapons to advanced tracking systems - and shares stories from those who believe they've been affected. Tolces also explores privacy rights, government overreach, and the growing intersection of tech and personal freedom.
In the first half, Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center discusses recent sightings, trends in UFO reports, and the importance of data collection in tracking aerial anomalies. In the second half, Dr. Bart Kosko delves into the world of fuzzy logic and nanotechnology, explaining how uncertainty, probability, and micro-scale engineering are reshaping everything from computing to decision-making systems.
In the first half of the program, Dr. Simeon Hein explores the mysterious phenomenon of crop circles, discussing their geometry, possible origins, and links to consciousness and energy fields. Are these elaborate formations messages, anomalies, or manifestations of something beyond current science? In the second half, Dr. Ramon Lopez returns to discuss solar flare activity and its potential effects on Earth's magnetic field, technology, and climate.
Professor M.R. Franks joins the program to discuss the scientific and philosophical implications of parallel universes. Exploring theories drawn from quantum mechanics, advanced mathematics, and metaphysical thought, Franks outlines how alternate realities may coexist alongside our own - and what that could mean for consciousness, time, and the nature of reality.
Aviation insider and whistleblower John Lear returns to share bold claims and revelations about secret aircraft, reverse-engineered alien technology, and hidden government operations. Drawing from his background in aviation and intelligence circles, Lear discusses suppressed technologies, deep black projects, and the possibility that extraterrestrial involvement goes far beyond what the public has been told.
Author Whitley Strieber returns to discuss the continuing mystery of alien encounters and the deeply personal nature of his own experiences. Blending psychological insight, spiritual reflection, and investigative curiosity, Strieber explores the phenomenon of non-human contact - what it may mean, who "they" are, and how it transforms those who experience it.
On Halloween night, the phone lines open for one of the most anticipated broadcasts of the year: a full evening of real ghost stories told by those who lived them. Callers share chilling, unexplained encounters with spirits, haunted houses, and otherworldly entities. From whispers in the dark to full-bodied apparitions, this collection of firsthand accounts delivers a spine-tingling journey through the veil.
Dr. Allan Botkin joins the show to discuss his groundbreaking work in grief therapy through Induced After-Death Communication (IADC). Originally developed within a clinical setting, IADC uses modified EMDR techniques to help patients process loss by facilitating vivid, healing encounters with deceased loved ones. Botkin shares compelling case studies and explores the emotional, spiritual, and psychological impact of these sessions.
Inventor Dr. Paul Moller joins the program to discuss the future of personal flight and his work developing advanced VTOL skycars. Moller outlines the engineering challenges, regulatory hurdles, and the promise of airborne commuting becoming reality. In the latter half of the show, the conversation shifts dramatically as listeners share their most haunting stories of encounters with modern-day vampires.

Art Bell mentions in this episode that he has played Doom and Doom II
Whitney does a good job on this interview for not doing very many. I miss Art so much. He was definitely one of a kind.
