Description: Art Bell confronts the Amazing Kreskin over his failed Las Vegas UFO prediction, during which Kreskin admits his original intention was to demonstrate how an enemy could manipulate mass perception. Art accuses him of deliberate deception and bans him from the show permanently, adding him to a short list of guests never to return.Retired Los Angeles Times editor Phillip Krapf joins to discuss an urgent communique from the Verdants, an alien species he claims contacted him in 1997. Krapf reports that the Verdants have warned they will abandon Earth and halt diplomatic efforts if any faction uses a nuclear weapon. He explains their broader mission to establish relations with species approaching deep space capability, and how the post-9/11 security climate reversed their earlier optimism about humanity's readiness.The program also features open lines where callers discuss global tensions between India and Pakistan, the nature of alien contact, and George Noory's upcoming role as vacation fill-in host. Art announces his first real vacation in years, scheduled for late June, praising Noory as someone who truly understands the spirit of the show.
