Ingo Swann is renowned as the father of remote viewing having perfected the Controlled (formerly Coordinated) Remote Viewing (CRV) technique, which was the foundation for the CIA’s Stargate project. His capabilities have been aggressively challenged over the years, but the substantiation of his skill through remote viewing studies at the Stanford Research Institute seems to far outweigh the scattered critiques.
In CRV, the reader is provided with geographic map coordinates – latitude and longitude – and would describe or draw details of the location employing remote viewing techniques. Swann had demonstrated the ability to identify the location and interior details of several CIA vaults, heightening concern over the psychic research that was being conducted by the Soviet Union at the time.
The CIA invited Hugo Swann and Uri Gellar, also renowned for his telekinetic powers, to participate in the SRI studies. Swann’s accuracy was reported to be 90-95% and Gellar was also acknowledged as highly skilled and accurate in the application of his field of work. The scientists conducting the studies were not certain what they were experiencing nor how to interpret the results.
In his Stanford Research experiments Swann had been tested for pk (psychokinesis) abilities when he was asked to upset a well-shielded magnetometer for which the magnet was sealed in a vault 5 feet below the floor. The equipment had been running for over an hour to gauge a baseline reading before Swann was directed to try to manipulate the machine. Specific details of what happened next vary, but it is generally accepted that Swann was able to affect the function of the equipment twice when asked to do so, amazing the scientists observing the test. They thought the equipment was incorruptible. The next day the equipment was malfunctioning and this avenue of testing was abandoned.
Upon concluding his work at SRI Swann was recruited for a “black ops” study called the Stargate Project. The concern was that the dark side of the moon was harboring extraterrestrial life and he was instructed to employ CRV to identify the specifics of who was there and what they were doing.
Swann undertook the CRV task for a price of $1,000 a day and with only a set of moon coordinates. He quickly determined that he was seeing the surface of the dark side of the moon and was surprised when he saw evidence of extraterrestrial construction taking place there. (According to the Stargate records and unbeknownst to Swann, the Apollo astronauts had reported seeing a UFO when preparing for their landing on the lunar service. This information had never been publicly released. )
While observing the activities underway he realized he had been “seen” by two of the ET’s. Upon concluding the study he asked if he was at risk because of having been seen on his surveillance mission, but the responses were innocuous. “I spent several months wondering if the ET’s were going to find me and zap my brains out of existence,” he is reported to have said.
