Art Bell opens this episode with news of Cardinal Joseph Bernardin's death from pancreatic cancer, praising the Chicago Archbishop's dignified approach to his terminal illness and his influence on American Catholicism. The main focus shifts to Professor Courtney Brown from Emory University, who discusses remote viewing investigations of the Hale-Bopp comet anomaly. Brown, an academic with expertise in remote viewing techniques, shares findings from psychic investigations into the mysterious object accompanying the comet. The program explores whether remote viewing can provide insights into astronomical anomalies that conventional observation cannot explain. Brown discusses the methodology and results of remote viewing sessions focused on the Hale-Bopp companion object, offering alternative approaches to understanding the controversial discovery. Bell and Brown examine the intersection of consciousness-based investigation techniques with astronomical mysteries. The discussion includes analysis of the object's nature, origin, and potential significance for human understanding of extraterrestrial phenomena. This episode demonstrates the program's willingness to explore unconventional investigative methods while addressing one of the most significant astronomical controversies of the 1990s, combining academic credibility with alternative research approaches.
