A numerological forecast for the remainder of 2023, classic UFO cases from Massachusetts and Arizona, and the potential danger of emerging technologies like AI were among the fascinating topics explored this past week on Coast to Coast AM. And, here at the C2C website, we told you about a pair of psychics on the wrong side of the law, a possible Bigfoot photo taken from a train, and a promising new study on UFOs out of Canada. Check out our round-up of highlights from the past week ... In Coast You Missed It.
While the first two months of 2023 are now history, there remains a considerable amount of the year that has yet to unfold and, on Wednesday night's program, numerologist Glynis McCants returned to C2C with insights on what might come to pass. Noting that January and February were particularly difficult due to natural disasters, such as the earthquake which struck Turkey and Syria, and unusual weather in various parts of the world, she foresees a less tumultuous remainder of the year. Based on their numerological readings, McCants suggested that Vladimir Putin may experience a serious health issue in 2023, and Prince Harry may wind up apologizing for the unwanted attention he has brought to the Royal family.
UFOs popped up in the news this past week by way of a pair of stories that serve as something of a testament to the phenomenon's current place in the zeitgeist. First, it was revealed that, for the first time in over three decades, the Canadian government has launched an official investigation into unidentified aerial phenomena. Similar in scope to currently unfolding American projects, the study will examine how exactly UAP reports are being collected and how to improve the process going forward. Suggesting that the public's fascination with the topic continues to be at what may be an all-time high, Wednesday evening's Venus-Jupiter conjunction sparked a slew of UFO reports to television stations across the country.
As artificial intelligence and robots become increasingly prevalent in our everyday life, it's understandable if one might wonder if this technology could ultimately spell our doom. Exploring this troubling scenario on Sunday night's program, author Nick Redfern noted that automatons actually date back centuries and are not a modern invention. That said, thanks to technological advancements, he envisions robots coupled with AI will become almost ubiquitous in the not-too-distant future. To that end, Redfern cautioned that humanity must be ever diligent in ensuring that machines do not develop sentience that might cause them to rise up against us.
This past week was replete with fantastic photos featuring possible glimpses of legendary creatures and showcasing the wonders of nature. The Mexican president shared a purported image of an elf on social media, an anomaly that appeared to be the Loch Ness Monster was photographed off the coast of England, and a train passenger riding through the Rocky Mountains may have inadvertently caught Bigfoot on film. Meanwhile, a storm chaser in Mississippi managed to capture an image of an incredibly rare and infamously fleeting formation known as a 'Horseshoe Vortex Cloud,' and a NASA astronaut aboard the ISS snapped a breathtaking photo of auroras curving around the Earth.
A pair of prominent UFO cases were revisited on Saturday night's program as, first, Thom Reed detailed his first-hand experience as a witness to the 1969 Berkshires incident, which was explored in the first season of the Netflix Unsolved Mysteries reboot. Recalling that evening in vivid detail, he marveled that over 250 people reported seeing the craft, which he observed while driving with his family. Later in the show, Lynne Dumin Kitei talked about the famed Phoenix Lights incident of 1997 and detailed her research project surrounding the case, wherein she found that many witnesses to the event reported experiencing anomalous phenomena following their sighting.
The legal troubles of two separate self-proclaimed fortune tellers wound up making the news this past week, beginning with a case out of Pennsylvania, where police issued an arrest warrant for a purported soothsayer who goes by the name "Psychic Novena" and is accused of duping a client out of more than $10,000. Later in the week, in what may be a glimpse into her future, the fraud trial of a Florida fortune teller got off to an odd start when her attorney put forward something of a supernatural defense, arguing that the psychic had actually fulfilled her promise of eradicating an alleged curse because "the evil spirits never came" to impact the victim and "that's what she paid for."
