August 19, 1998: NDE's - Dr. Jeff Long & Trisha McGill | Cassini Launch - Karl Grossman
Published 1 year, 11 months ago
Description
Art Bell opens with investigative journalist Karl Grossman and environmental activist Jim Warren to discuss a disturbing anonymous phone message received by Warren's organization. A caller identifying himself as a project engineer claims that the failed Titan IV rocket launch on August 12th carried a plutonium-powered RTG device aboard a classified Vortex satellite, and that the Air Force detonation command dispersed 20 pounds of plutonium into particulate matter at 20,000 feet off the Florida coast. The claim remains unverified, but Grossman presents documented government reports showing that the upcoming Cassini space probe flyby could release its 72 pounds of plutonium in respirable particles if the gravity assist maneuver fails.
In the second half, clinical psychologist Dr. Trisha McGill and radiation oncologist Dr. Jeff Long discuss near-death experiences. McGill shares detailed NDE accounts featuring verifiable out-of-body observations, including a patient who identified a red warning sticker on the hidden side of a ceiling fan. Dr. Long notes the remarkable consistency of NDE elements across diverse cultures and religious backgrounds.
The conversation touches on a mysterious substance known only as "Drug X" that may chemically induce near-death experiences, a prospect McGill expresses willingness to personally investigate.
