Remote Viewing
Other RV researchists:
- Ed Dames - associated with PSI TECH, Inc.
- Edwin May - program member since mid-1970s and STAR GATE program director from 1986 until the close of the program
- David Morehouse - remote viewer during Star Gate program [see below]
- Joe McMoneagle - Joe McMoneagle is considered to be one of the greatest "naturals." In the early 1970's Joe McMoneagle had a Near Death Experience (NDE) which gave him the ability to achieve telepathic and altered states at will. Joe has stated that a viewer's ability to remote view is dependent upon each individual's innate talent. In other words, their achievements in RV are limited by the amount of natural ability they are born with.
- Hal Puthoff - physicist and original program director
- Paul Smith - credited with authoring/editing the original CRV training manual
- Russell Targ - physicist and program member.
The CIA saw a potential use for RV as a way to penetrate closed societies like the former Soviet Union without the risk of a physical presence or use of technical intelligence. The CIA was encouraged with the results of early trials and eventually the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) obtained funding for further experiments and conduct of actual classified RV operations. Rumors of U.S. intelligence using persons with psychic ability to locate Soviet Navy nuclear submarines appeared in supermarket tabloids in the 1980s.
The Star Gate Program officially ended in 1995. Former RVers including military RVers such as David Morehouse came forward publicly to reveal the RV program. During this time he claims to have been used to discover the location of the US embassy employees being held in Iran, while a number of other such viewers were used to locate Moammar Gadhafi and various lost military items. It appears that throughout this period the CIA and DIA had a number of remote viewers on a contract basis under an umbrella funding agreement known as Project Star Gate.
The exact details of the arrangements are somewhat unclear, as expected for a project being run by the intelligence community. The SRI experiments resulted in a number of promising leads, but at the same time external reviews found significant problems with the testing methodology, some of them serious. Nevertheless the apparent utility of a working RV system was believed to be worth the effort, so the project was moved to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) in 1992, where it was hoped that better experimental
