So, you believe we are all in one gigantic “simulation”?He said the reported cost of $20 million for the 20-year project was minuscule compared to its value, and estimated that remote viewers saved the government about $240 million by helping find lost Scud missiles in the Persian Gulf War. Research has shown that remote viewing works 15 percent of the time or more, he said. "There is a huge percentage of intelligence collection systems that don't do as well."
The information provided by remote viewers, he reiterated, was never used without other types of corroboration. He said nearly every agency with an intelligence wing -- including the CIA, the National Security Agency, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Secret Service, the Coast Guard and Customs -- employed remote viewers at some time or another.
On a typical workday, McMoneagle said, he reported to an old, leaky wooden barracks at Fort Meade, where he went into a one-person office. He sat at a desk with a typewriter and a mug of coffee. The cup said This End Up and had an arrow pointing the wrong way. He was then presented with sealed envelopes -- sometimes large brown ones, sometimes small white ones -- and he was asked to supply information about whatever was inside.
There might be a photograph of a person, and he would be asked to describe where the person was located. In that way, he said, he helped the Army locate hostages in Iran. He said he predicted almost precisely where Skylab was going to fall, 11 months before the spacecraft returned to Earth in 1979. He named the city in Italy -- Padua -- and described the second-floor apartment where Brig. Gen James Dozier was held hostage by the Red Brigades in 1981. The information arrived in Italy on the day Dozier was released.
Over the years, McMoneagle said, he was involved in about 450 missions. One of his favorites was in 1980, when CIA personnel captured a suspected KGB agent in South Africa. They wanted to know how the agent was communicating with the Soviet military. They put an envelope on McMoneagle's desk, and without knowing anything of the man, McMoneagle told the CIA that the man liked to use a small pocket calculator. The calculator turned out to be a disguised short-wave radio.
Last week he appeared on "Nightline" and on the ABC special "Put to the Test." "It's not like he handed me a perfect photograph of the location," said independent producer Ruth Rivin, of Elemental Productions, when asked about McMoneagle's performance. "Some of the descriptions were pretty remarkable," she said. "We followed all the scientific protocol laid out by Edwin May, a nuclear physicist {at SRI} who's been researching remote viewing for the last 20 years."
