Published 1 year, 7 months ago
Description
Art Bell interviews X-Files creator Chris Carter about the cancellation of Harsh Realm after only three episodes and the upcoming seventh season of The X-Files. Carter reveals that airline pilots he meets almost always report having seen UFOs, and he shares how government insiders have told him his fictional stories come unsettlingly close to classified truths. They discuss the coming millennium, a possible second X-Files film, and Lance Henriksen reprising his Millennium role.
In the second half, Art speaks with Uri Geller, the Israeli-born psychic known worldwide for spoon bending and telepathy. Geller recounts his childhood discovery of psychokinetic abilities, his service in the Six-Day War, and his secret work with the CIA attempting to erase floppy disks and influence Soviet negotiators. He describes being asked to kill a pig with his mind in a government laboratory and refusing.
Geller conducts a live experiment asking listeners to concentrate on broken watches and clocks. Callers from Hawaii, Reno, and New York report timepieces suddenly working again, while others describe spoons moving near their radios. The segment becomes a demonstration of collective psychic energy channeled through the broadcast.
