The CIA's Remote Viewing Evaluation
Analysis Summary
Summary
The encounter involves Lynn Buchanan, who discusses his experiences with controlled remote viewing. He explains that he has trained people to use psychic techniques to find missing children and soldiers. During his training sessions, they have accurately identified targets from sealed envelopes about ten times. He mentions that the CIA has investigated remote viewing since the 1970s and that Congress directed the CIA to assess its usefulness. The discussion includes evaluations of remote viewing experiments, showing statistical anomalies that suggest psychic functioning exists. Buchanan believes that while the evidence is compelling, further research should focus on understanding how remote viewing works. The encounter has led him to a new perspective on psychic phenomena, which he previously dismissed.
Program Intelligence Analysis
The video discusses the historical context and scientific evaluation of remote viewing programs conducted by the CIA and other organizations. It highlights the legislative directive from Congress to investigate the potential usefulness of remote viewing in intelligence operations, while also addressing the limitations and statistical anomalies observed in the research.
The CIA and the US government have been using some form of remote viewing for decades.
Lynn Buchanan
“I know I'm going to have a good viewer from that point on; we're going to be bringing home some missing kids, you know, missing soldiers.”
Chris Lato
“Did you know the CIA and the US government has been using some form of remote viewing for decades?”
Jeffrey Mishlove
Dr. Jessica UTS
“Statistically, it is overwhelming; the evidence is overwhelming in these experiments.”
Dr. Raymond Heyman
“There is an anomaly, but there's no way you can positively identify that it is from psychic effects.”
Ed May
“Approximately 20% of the information supplied by a viewer is accurate.”

Investigate the application of remote viewing for intelligence gathering
The CIA and the US government have been using some form of remote viewing for decades.
The 1994 US Congress directed the CIA to investigate remote viewing to assess its usefulness in intelligence activities.
The statistical results of remote viewing experiments indicate a significant anomaly that cannot be explained by chance.
Remote viewing has been shown to have limited value for intelligence operations due to the vagueness and unreliability of the information provided.
The CIA's Stargate program aimed to investigate the application of remote viewing for intelligence purposes.
