In the early 1970s, two physicists began experiments at the Stanford Research Institute that would spark decades of debate. The program tested whether trained participants could describe distant targets and provide usable intelligence information for national security. The team developed strict protocols to reduce bias and improve repeatability. Over time, methods were refined to give … Read more
In 1972, Hal Puthoff launched a program at the Stanford Research Institute that sought to test human ability to describe distant targets. The work drew scientists like Russell Targ and volunteers such as Pat Price. It blended parapsychology with hopes of practical intelligence value. The program grew over years and caught the attention of the … Read more
In December 1971, a bold term surfaced during an experiment at the American Society for Psychical Research. Ingo Swann suggested calling it remote viewing, and that idea sparked decades of debate. This introduction outlines a concise review of that era. We trace how a practice gained attention during Cold War intelligence work and how many … Read more
