Art Bell hosts physicist Russell Targ and military remote viewer Paul H. Smith, two pioneers of the government's psychic espionage program at Stanford Research Institute. Together they discuss the upcoming 2001 Remote Viewing Conference in Las Vegas and reveal details about the CIA-funded program that operated for over two decades at Fort Meade, Maryland.
Targ and Smith explain how remote viewing works through non-local consciousness, describing how trained viewers can perceive distant targets using only random number coordinates. They discuss the program's real intelligence successes, including descriptions of Soviet weapons factories verified by satellite photography and a Congressional investigation that endorsed continuing the work. The pair also addresses precognition, sharing personal stories of psychic warnings that saved lives and describing laboratory experiments proving physiological responses to future events.
The conversation turns to practical applications, including their success using associative remote viewing to predict silver futures markets. They discuss why the program was officially shut down despite its effectiveness, the 98 percent of records that remain classified, and the physics of non-locality that may explain how consciousness transcends space and time.
