Description: Art Bell launches a mass consciousness experiment, asking millions of listeners to project the intent for UFOs to appear in skies worldwide. The results are staggering, with thousands of emails flooding in from people who witnessed unusual objects, spinning lights, and craft that responded to flashlight signals. A Nashville TV station even captures footage of a rotating object dismissed too quickly as the space station. James Gilliland returns briefly to confirm his inbox was overwhelmed with sighting reports.In the second half, Art interviews independent military scholar Ralph Sawyer about China as a growing strategic threat. Sawyer, who spent nearly four decades studying Chinese military doctrine across Asia, warns that conflict with China is likely within 30 years. He details how Taiwan could fall through internal subversion rather than invasion, describes China modernizing its nuclear arsenal from liquid-fueled ICBMs to mobile solid-fueled missiles, and explains how their recent anti-satellite weapon test demonstrates a strategy to neutralize American net-centric warfare.The program opens during the Chinese Year of the Pig, with Sawyer explaining competing astrological interpretations among Hong Kong geomancers. Callers contribute sighting reports from the intent experiment and raise questions about climate change and the Area 51 flyover tape.
