Podcast: The Art Bell ArchivePublished On: Sat May 17 2025
Description: Art Bell welcomes retired FBI field profiler Candice DeLong to analyze the D.C. sniper terrorizing the Washington area. DeLong draws on her 20 years of FBI experience, including the Unabomber manhunt, to construct a psychological profile of the shooter. She explains why the killer is not mentally ill but rather a highly organized individual demonstrating God-like control over life and death through the discipline of sniping, from stalking to shooting to escape. She rules out foreign terrorism and predicts the killer may eventually communicate with police or the press.In the second half, inventor Ray Alden discusses his patented three-dimensional cloaking technology that renders objects invisible from any viewing angle. Unlike two-dimensional camouflage systems, his device uses arrays of lenslets and subpixels to emit electromagnetic radiation in multiple trajectories simultaneously, requiring no computer processing. Alden explains potential military applications for light armor vehicles and individual warriors, as well as commercial uses including multi-viewer 3D displays and concealing structures like wind farms.Art reflects on the broader implications of invisibility technology for society, questioning whether the world is prepared to live alongside objects and people that cannot be seen, drawing comparisons to the ethical dilemmas faced by inventors throughout history.
