The CIA conducted psychic research in the 70's and 80's. The experiments were successful enough that the Army put together a group of remote viewers, one of them was named Joe McMoneagle and nicknamed RV1 for his unusually good skill. He worked with the CIA, FBI, DIA, DEA, and was eventually awarded the Legion of Merit for his RV work.

In 1984, RV1 was tasked with remote viewing GPS locations on Mars at various times. He described seeing pyramids and giant humanoid aliens waiting for an impending apocalypse. It's a pretty eerie document that's still hosted on the CIA site.

Go read McMoneagle's book of predictions: it is awefully wrong.

Remote Viewing is a modified kind of dreaming:

Remote Viewers are in dreams, and their ( very primitive brain, it seems ) ESP is patching-in pieces of what it perceives, but .. it is patching those things into a dream, so the result is .. rather groundless, with fragments of truth in it.

I trust the hard photos from NASA & ESA more than I trust McMoneable's dreams..

Yes, the youtube vid of him being interviewed about his helping Japan find sites that archaeology says did have to do with an early royal of theirs ( an Empress? ) is convincing, but I've not fact-checked it.

It may well be spot-on: ancient Japanese history isn't my interest.

If he was predicting people living on Mars, the same Mars that sometimes comes up to warm-enough to melt water, but has dry-ice on the ground, in the winters at the poles, and planet-scale dust-storms, and CO2 lasering in its atmosphere, and an atmosphere that is 1/1000th as thick ( from the aviation perspective ) as ours, with nearly-no oxygen loose in it...

I'm sticking with the machines that map & photograph the things.

Do you mean Mind Treks? I haven’t read it all, just the Mars report part.

The military almost surely agrees with you, but nonetheless it’s interesting that RV would work at all.
