Description: Art Bell continues the annual predictions event on New Year's Eve, collecting the final batch of listener forecasts for 2006. He reviews more results from the 2005 vault, noting hits on a bridge collapse, the shuttle tank problem, and a new cat species discovery, while bonking failed predictions about Korea becoming democratic and time travelers revealing themselves.The second night brings another wave of unusual forecasts. Callers predict the discovery of two massive bodies beyond Pluto, a fire at the Smithsonian revealing hidden artifacts, and satellite communication failures worldwide. One listener foresees Fidel Castro's death followed by Cuba becoming a gambling destination, while a woman from Tacoma predicts the younger British prince will eventually become king. A caller from New Zealand reports recurring dreams of Prince Philip's passing during the English summer.Art notes the 2006 predictions are markedly different from the prior year's apocalyptic tone, featuring more varied and specific visions. He closes by reminding listeners that all entries are sealed in the Bell Family Vault for review the following year.
