Art Bell broadcasts a special early edition on New Year's Eve, beginning at 7 p.m. Pacific time to track the millennium's arrival across every time zone.

Boris Yeltsin's sudden resignation adds geopolitical uncertainty to an already anxious evening.
Gordon Michael Scallion joins for three hours of predictions and discussion about earth changes. He describes his mystical experiences inside the Great Pyramid, where a mysterious Egyptian guard granted him private access to the chambers, telling him he remembered Scallion from when they built the structure together. Scallion presents his theory that the pyramid was built 12,500 years ago by Atlanteans, Egyptians, and Darians as a machine for bending time, astronomical observation, and spiritual initiation.
The discussion turns to the accelerating pace of climate disruption, record sunspot activity, and the planetary alignment approaching in May 2000. Scallion warns that the next 24 months represent a critical window, assigning 90 percent odds to significant magnetic and weather changes that could redraw maps of the world.
