December 30, 2005: Predictions for 2006 - Part 1

Art Bell opens the annual predictions tradition by reviewing the 2005 forecast results from the Bell Family Vault. Listeners scored a few notable hits, including the passing of Johnny Carson and the auto industry depression, but the overall accuracy suffered from an overly apocalyptic mood following the tsunami.

Callers then take the stage with their visions for 2006. Predictions range from a massive magnetic disturbance affecting the Midwest to extraterrestrial craft crashing in populated areas due to geomagnetic anomalies. Several listeners report recurring dreams of earthquakes cascading through California along undiscovered deep fault lines, while others foresee bird flu reaching American soil and the sudden national prominence of Atlanta through the CDC.

Art enforces his longstanding rules throughout: one prediction per caller, no emailed entries, no assassination forecasts, and above all, no wishful thinking. He urges each caller to bypass political bias and tap into genuine psychic intuition, drawing comparisons to the discipline required in remote viewing.
