Physicist James McCanney discussed electrical energy in the solar system, comets, and a newly discovered Kuiper Belt object called Quaoar. "The solar system, from about 1995, has been increasing in electrical energy," he said, specifically noting that the sun puts out thousands of times more electrical energy than visible light. He believes comets are responsible for "pumping up the sun" -- the solar capacitor -- with energy. According to McCanney, electrical energy discharged from the solar capacitor is passed down to Earth, where it physically affects humans and the weather.

Reporting on a distant object dubbed Quaoar, located on the outskirts of the solar system, he said there appears to be volcanism on it, which implies that it may be "new." McCanney thinks there could be many more of these objects out there.

During the first hour, UFO researcher Dr. Roger Leir and author Whitley Strieber shared information about an artifact purported to be from a UFO crash site in New Mexico, perhaps near Roswell. According to Leir, lab results showed the material had "non-terrestrial isotopic ratios" of silicon, and possessed other anomalous properties, including the ability to transfer heat and cold. Strieber reported on several mysterious deaths that surrounded the piece, and Leir admitted that he has since passed the artifact on to another person for safekeeping.
