The bottom line is, these events happen on very large time scales. Logically, I can't see how moving the amount of water around on the Earth's crust that we are is not going to have an impact for centuries to come.

MWGIC Episode 00094: Contact In The Desert 2019

View Video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2Id7teFRYc&t=45s

Show Notes:

Charles McKee (Of Inland Empire Sports & News) together covered Contact In The Desert 2019.

(You can reach out to the CITD Conference Organizers directly via Twitter HERE, & Facebook HERE. Their YouTube channel is located HERE.)

We achieved seven interviews of fascinating guests at the conference, met George Noory (very gracious), saw Erik Von Danniken signing copies of Chariots of the Gods, and several speakers.

Charles got a ton of great still photos, which you can see in the YouTube video.

The setting was beautiful, and we hand a thoroughly enjoyable time. We both hope you will as well watching the video above.

Dan & Charles
