Description: Art Bell fills in for George Noory and welcomes Linda Moulton Howe for a report on the 2003 crop circle season, which has seen formations in over 23 countries. Linda details an extraordinary photograph from Montenegro, Italy, showing a sphere of light sending a beam into a field, captured by a teenager's cell phone camera. Witnesses in Belgium and Germany also report strange humming sounds and lights associated with new formations.In the second half, Art speaks with Canadian scientist John Hutchison about the Hutchison Effect, a phenomenon involving the levitation of heavy objects, the jellification of metals, and apparent matter transmutation. Hutchison describes how his experiments with Tesla coils, RF generators, and electrostatic fields accidentally produced these effects, including floating cannonballs, metal bars twisting into knots, and objects embedding within solid materials. His lab was seized by the Canadian government after he declined a military contract.Hutchison also discusses his zero-point energy power cells, small devices that produce a steady voltage indefinitely using ground-up metals and minerals charged with direct current. He connects his work to the Philadelphia Experiment, noting similarities in the electromagnetic equipment used, and shares his belief that forgotten technologies from the early days of radio hold keys to understanding free energy.
