I've mentioned Coast to Coast AM before, but my blog on all things supernatural would be rather poor if I didn't revisit this clearance-house of all things strange. Coast to Coast airs nightly on many radio stations from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. (PST) and covers nearly any topic of the weird you could think of. Aliens, ghosts, speculative science, they have it all!
On tonight's show, the host, George Noory, will be talking with two members of the Merlin Project, this playfully named project uses both astrological-type study with modern advanced mathematics to predict periods of intense activity and what might occur during those periods. They claim to have a success rate of near 80% and also claim they have even been approached by the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon, in 1995, for advice on predicting incidents of terrorism. The study they submitted to the Pentagon, predicted a "significant event" in the Fall 0f 2001 (I'm sure we can guess what that was).
The group has previously appeared on a variety of shows, such as the NBC Nightly News, and several appearances on Larry King Live. Could computer technology be powerful enough to see patterns (if they do actually exist in a predictable way) in human culture and history? It's certainly an interesting idea, but some might argue that, much like how critics say many "psychics" operate, the predictions given are vague to the point where "accurate predictions" can be seen, even where they don't exist, by those who are truly hoping this kind of thing could be true.
