Art Bell welcomes Richard C. Hoagland to discuss a range of breaking news, beginning with the imminent calving of a massive iceberg from the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica, measuring 183 miles by 22 miles. Hoagland connects the event to hyperdimensional physics and rapid climate change, referencing ice core data showing the climate can shift dramatically in mere days.
The conversation turns to disturbing reports of animal mutilations in central Oregon, where 11 skinned calves were discovered in a remote location under mysterious circumstances. A local NBC reporter from Bend confirms the findings and reveals that 18 additional calf carcasses were found the same day, along with a pig. Hoagland proposes that the mutilations carry symbolic, ritualistic significance rather than serving any practical scientific purpose, pointing to patterns consistent over two decades.
Art and Hoagland also examine a UPI story by James Oberg alleging that NASA knew the Mars Polar Lander was doomed before arrival and covered it up. They discuss Senator John McCain's growing scrutiny of NASA mismanagement and the ongoing conflict between JPL and Johnson Space Center over the future of Mars exploration.
