Description: Art Bell hosts a Friday night open lines show and dedicates one phone line exclusively to callers who claim to have traveled in time. He opens with sharp commentary on the Iraq war, noting that a top Marine general has publicly declared U.S. intelligence was "simply wrong" about chemical weapons, and that no weapons of mass destruction have been found. Art also updates listeners on his anomalous antenna project and the intense solar activity bombarding Earth during Cycle 23.Callers range from a self-described time traveler named Steve who claims an entity guided him through the stars nightly for 52 years, allowing him to profit 121 percent in the stock market, to a woman named Nunchie who describes a near-death experience where she met lines of every person who ever lived. A caller named Cross reports being taken to the year 2045 by an individual named Malachi, describing a world without technology where humans communicate telepathically after contact with a higher being.Other callers discuss shadow people visible to horses, the Vatican Observatory's true purpose, an old eight-millimeter film that triggered a time-displacement experience, and the mysterious DC voltage on Art's giant antenna. A retired electrical engineer explains that similar voltage phenomena were observed at military low-frequency transmitter sites during World War II, pointing toward atmospheric energy collection on a grand scale.
