An expert on UFOs has lifted the lid on an unusual ‘psychic spying’ technique used by the Ministry of Defence in the wake of 9/11.
Remote viewers claim to be able to view distant objects, people or events they have never seen before using the powers of their mind – and the technique was used by US Army Intelligence for decades.
Joe McMoneagle, known as ‘Remote Viewer Number 1’ by the CIA, took part in remote viewing between 1978 and 1995 – and he recently appeared on a podcast where he said he had seen evidence of an ancient civilisation living on Mars.
Speaking to the American Alchemy podcast he said he saw ‘very tall, thin’ people wearing ‘strange clothing’, hiding in chambers in a huge pyramid structure from a storm raging on the planet’s surface.
He theorised a ‘big object passed through our solar system’ that stripped the atmosphere from Mars, which caused alien life on the planet to go extinct.
The CIA’s remote viewing project was cancelled and declassified in 1995 after a report concluded it had ‘failed to produce actionable intelligence’.
But despite this, the British military has also tried to use remote viewing – likely with Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda as the intended targets.
Nick Pope, who investigated UFOs for the Ministry of Defence (MoD), told Metro that Joe McMoneagle’s claims would be ‘interesting if true’.
And he discussed the use of remote viewing, described as a ‘low probability high consequence situation’, in modern times.
‘While some scientists believe there was – and may still be – microbial life on Mars, it’s much less likely that there was ever a civilization there,’ Nick told Metro.
‘But I can’t rule it out, and I’d love it to be true. It would be the greatest discovery of all time, and would fundamentally change our view of the universe.’
Giving some insight into the US military’s use of remote viewing, he explained: ‘It’s a proven fact that some parts of the US military and the intelligence community ran so-called remote viewing programmes.
