Remote viewing, RV, is gathering information by using psychic abilities that inform, about a distant site. Psychic spy Pat Price employed this ability.
The RV research at the Stanford Research Institute, SRI, and the Science Applications International Corporation, SAIC, is unique in the speculative science of parapsychology. It’s the only long-term psychic research program known to have been funded by the US government’s Department of Defense and intelligence agencies, including the CIA. They studied using applied psi, psychic phenomena, for intelligence and espionage purposes. Most of the information is classified; however Congress declassified a small portion of the documents and evaluated StarGate, a twenty-four year long program. The $20 million StarGate Project, in the 1970s and 1990s, also investigated out of body experiences, tested subjects for precognition, the ability to foresee the future and read hidden documents.
Pat Price: Initial Soviet RV Experiment
Early SRI research, initiated by physicists Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ, focused on several gifted individuals, including Ingo Swann and Price. Both men sparked the military’s interest in using RV for espionage.
Price’s sessions were consistently accurate. A former CIA official said that "He was extraordinarily accurate, unbelievably accurate.” Price, in his first RV test for psychic spying on the Soviets, was given the coordinates of an R & D facility in the USSR. He described and drew, with remarkable detail, a major structure at the site – a gantry crane. The rivalry between Pat & Ingo at SRI was intense. After Price died suddenly, in 1975, allegations of his being a double agent surfaced.
Pat Price: Experimental RV Information Accurate
In the summer of 1973, Puthoff, who was acquainted with Price, asked him to try to use RV to check out geographic coordinates in West Virginia. The target was a CIA employee’s vacation cottage. Price gave him a long description of something else. He described big underground storage areas that resembled a former missile site and mentioned “personnel, Army Signal Corps.” He stated that there were folders inside of a cabinet that were labeled “cue ball,” 14 and 8 balls and rack up.
He described a secret National Security Agency, NSA, communications facility a few miles from the cottage. CIA officer Ken Kress, who helped monitor research at the SRI, wrote, in an official memo, that Price had no military or intelligence background, but he gave a list of project titles associated with activities and the site’s codename. Other information about the site’s layout was accurate.
Price began working directly with the CIA. In July 1975, during a long CIA RV project involving a suspected Libyan terrorism facility, Price died of an apparent heart attack in Las Vegas. His death was an excuse to end the agency’s official connection with RV. Two years later, when CIA Director Stansfield Turner was asked about allegations that the CIA was engaged in applied psi, he said the organization briefly worked with a man who appeared to have some psychic ability, “but he died and we haven’t heard from him since.”
