Description: Art Bell opens with Major Ed Dames, who shares his remote viewing team's findings on Bigfoot. Dames describes a teleportation device in deep space operated by unknown controllers, suggesting Bigfoot is a real creature transported temporarily to Earth. He connects this research to his upcoming Project Starman, a June 2006 field exercise aimed at making contact with higher intelligence. Dames also addresses nuclear terrorism concerns, confirming that while no weapons are currently in terrorist hands, the threat of acquisition remains serious.In the second half, professor Richard Tarnas joins to discuss archetypal astrology and consciousness. Tarnas presents evidence from his book Cosmos and Psyche showing correlations between planetary alignments and major historical events, including the cultural upheaval of the 1960s coinciding with a rare Pluto-Uranus conjunction. He examines Art's birth chart, identifying a Sun-Mercury-Uranus conjunction in Gemini that reflects his rebellious broadcasting style.The conversation turns to Nancy Reagan's astrologer Joan Quigley and her influence on Cold War diplomacy. Tarnas argues that astrology offers a liberating framework for understanding archetypal forces shaping both individual lives and collective history. He and Art also reflect on the late John Mack's courageous research into alien abduction experiences.
