Spaceflight & ET Contact

Date

Hosted byArt Bell

Dr. Albert Harrison talked about his book "After Contact: The Human Response to Extraterrestrial Life." He is also co-author of "Living Aloft: Human Requirements for Extended Spaceflight" and a board member of the Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute (SETI). He described the physiology and psychology of spaceflight and risks of long trips in space.

Harrison said he believed that the "probability is high" that there are "many inhabited worlds out there, and that we will eventually make contact with one or more of them," although he didn't think that the evidence is compelling for UFOs being visitors from other planets. He and Art also addressed the implications if an official revelation of alien contact was announced to the public. UFO researcher Robert O. Dean called in for a couple of minutes at the beginning of the second hour to deny rumors that he has died.

The first and last hour featured news and Open Lines, including such topics as "head transplants" and the confession of an Area 51 caller.
