Exploring the Moon and Other Planets Through Remote Viewing

Research on remote viewing in the United States began in 1972. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) recruited psychics for intelligence gathering and space exploration under the "Remote Viewing Experiment" program. These psychics reportedly used their abilities to perceive images on the Moon and other planets, yielding astonishing results.
Accurate Remote Viewing
The CIA selected the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) for its top-tier research team to study and develop psychic phenomena. Physicist Dr. Russell Targ and engineer Dr. Harold Puthoff led the project, choosing psychic Ingo Swann as their initial test subject. Following hundreds of experiments, Targ and Puthoff confirmed that Swann could identify locations using only geographic coordinates and could draw maps of these places.
In one instance, a scientist challenged Swann to describe the site at 49 degrees 20 minutes south latitude and 70 degrees 14 minutes east longitude—a location in the Atlantic Ocean equally distant from Australia, Africa, and Antarctica. After a brief period of remote viewing, Swann accurately described the scene, astonishing the scientist who commented, "The details of the remote viewing were very accurate."
First Discovery of Jupiter's Rings
In April 1973, Swann took part in a CIA remote viewing experiment involving the National Security Agency and Stanford University. During this session, Swann took three minutes to "arrive" at Jupiter, where he observed a ring encircling the planet. The existence of Jupiter's rings was later confirmed by the Jupiter probe "Pioneer 10" in November 1973, marking Swann as the first person to discover Jupiter's rings.
Jupiter is 640 million kilometers from Earth, making Swann's ability to observe such a distant object remarkable. The conditions he described closely matched the data later returned by "Pioneer 10," sparking the CIA's interest and prompting further assignments to observe more remote planets.
Astonishing Discoveries on the Moon
In February 1975, Swann participated in a top-secret mission to remotely view the Moon. Utilizing his clairvoyance, he claimed to see structures and objects featuring glass domes on the Moon's dark side.
Soon, Swann felt as though his consciousness was entering one of these buildings. When CIA personnel noticed that Swann was sweating heavily, they asked what he observed. Swann described seeing tall "humanoid beings" who seemed aware of being watched and attempted to locate him, which frightened him.
The U.S. Launches the "Stargate Project"
In 1978, the U.S. Army Intelligence Corps initiated a remote viewing research program named "Project Grill Flame," which was later moved to the Stanford Research Institute and renamed the "Stargate Project." The program included six individuals with remote viewing abilities, including FBI official Mark Monegal.
Under the Department of Defense's oversight, SRI conducted many experiments. These psychics were dispatched to various government departments for tasks, with Mark Monegal being particularly distinguished. Reportedly, he conducted over 4,000 remote viewing sessions over 18 years, achieving a 53% success rate.
During that time, the U.S. military captured images of newly constructed buildings near Semipalatinsk in the Soviet Union but lacked knowledge of their contents. Monegal and another individual were tasked with remote viewing, where they reported seeing submarines with missiles differing from known Soviet designs, potentially indicating new submarine types. Subsequent intelligence later confirmed their remote viewing results.
However, with the Soviet Union's dissolution and the end of the Cold War, the "Stargate Project" was discontinued. Various organizations, including the Congressional Research Service, the Military Research Institute, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, assessed the project. While their reports varied in detail, they unanimously concluded that there is indeed experimental evidence of some psychic phenomena that warrant rigorous scientific inquiry.
