The C.I.A.'s Remote Viewing Program
Some of the results from the Stargate Project
The Stargate Project was a classified program initiated by the U.S. government during the Cold War to investigate and potentially utilize psychic phenomena, particularly remote viewing, for intelligence-gathering purposes. The program ran from the 1970s to the 1990s and was declassified in 1995.
Several noteworthy case studies in the realm of remote viewing have garnered attention, particularly from the experiments conducted under the Stargate Project. Here are some of the most intriguing ones:
1. The Pat Price Case (Soviet Missile Base)
Pat Price, a former police officer and one of the most famous remote viewers involved in the Stargate Project, provided detailed descriptions of a secret Soviet missile installation in Siberia. In a well-documented remote viewing session, Price accurately described the physical layout and functions of the buildings at a classified site, including the location of cranes, silos, and a security perimeter. Later intelligence from satellite imagery reportedly confirmed many of his observations, which added credibility to the practice of remote viewing for intelligence gathering.
2. Ingo Swann's Jupiter Viewing
Ingo Swann, one of the pioneers of remote viewing, participated in an experiment to remotely view the planet Jupiter before the Pioneer 10 spacecraft reached the planet in 1973. Swann described the presence of a ring around Jupiter, which was not known at the time. His observation was later confirmed when Pioneer 10 indeed detected a thin ring system around Jupiter—a discovery that shocked scientists, as this was not visible from Earth and had not been previously known.
3. Remote Viewing of Hostage Locations (Iran Hostage Crisis)
During the 1979 Iran Hostage Crisis, remote viewers were tasked with locating where American hostages were being held in Tehran. Several remote viewers described specific locations that corresponded to known intelligence, and their insights were reportedly used to guide military planning, though the full success of this case remains debated.
4. Joe McMoneagle’s Remote Viewing (Submarines and Hostages)
Joe McMoneagle, a retired U.S. Army officer and one of the first remote viewers recruited into the Stargate Project, has been involved in several high-profile cases. In one instance, he was asked to remotely view a location where a U.S. submarine had sunk in the Atlantic Ocean. His description led to the submarine’s eventual discovery. McMoneagle also claimed to have successfully provided details on the locations of hostages in Lebanon during the 1980s.
5. Remote Viewing of the "Mars Exploration"
In one unusual case, remote viewers, including Ingo Swann, were tasked with viewing the surface of Mars in a series of experiments that purportedly took place in the early 1980s. Swann and others claimed to have seen structures on Mars, as well as descriptions of humanoid life forms and ancient civilizations. While this remains highly speculative and controversial, it remains a frequently cited example in discussions about remote viewing and space.
6. Operation Scanate (1972)
This was one of the earliest and most formal tests of remote viewing capabilities, conducted at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) by physicists Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff. Pat Price and Ingo Swann were some of the primary viewers during this operation. They were asked to describe and sketch various target locations selected by a "beacon" person. Some of the results were strikingly accurate, including descriptions of a particular National Security Agency (NSA) facility that the viewers had never physically visited.
These discoveries are unique in that they represent one of the few times a government entity has publicly acknowledged serious research into paranormal abilities.
How do you establish a remote viewing process? Well, I learned that there is a difference between “remote-viewing” vs. “controlled remote-viewing”. In one of my latest podcast interviews which has yet to be public, I speak with one of the longest-standing Controlled Remote Viewing" Program Directors globally.
There is more to this space than one might think.
