Art Bell hosted Part 1 of his Annual Prediction Show for the new year (part 2 will be on New Year's Eve). In his review of some of the predictions made last year for 2004, he found that someone had correctly foreseen the Red Sox World Series victory, and another caller predicted 2004 would be "the year of the big hurricanes."
Among the highlights in the over 50 predictions for 2005 that Art recorded:
- Canada will rally to become part of the U.S.
- Stem cell research will yield a cure for Parkinson's.
- A major accident at a Cleveland nuclear plant will be caused by vibration cracks.
- Bigfoot will be officially classified, when one is captured and killed.
- Saudi Arabia will fall to Islamic terrorists.
- The International Space Station will be abandoned.
- Russian forces will invade Alaska.
- A cruise ship in the Caribbean will be blown up by terrorists in May.
- A disease will cause red armpits over America.
