GOVT. USES "REMOTE VIEWING" TO TRACK UNABOMBER
==============================================
[From "Encounters", FOX-TV, 11/11/95]

MODERATOR:
...The truth is, the government has been experimenting with
psychics since the Cold War. The secrets and power they developed
is the same power that the government is using today to help
catch a fugitive we've all come to know as "the unabomber".

These people are physically present in this room. But they say
their minds, their perceptions, are elsewhere.

It's called "remote viewing". Practitioners say they are able to
see things or places physically distant from themselves. It has
the sound of a science, but it's very much a branch of
parapsychology.

One of the oldest research organizations for the study of
parapsychology is the Rhine Institute. Its director is professor
Richard Braughton(?).


RICHARD BRAUGHTON:
Remote viewing is a kind of ESP, really, that's renamed -- for
folks in Washington to deal with the occult. But the specific
object of remote viewing is to try to spot a distant location --
hence, the name.

Now it could be just a natural site, it could be a local place in
a city. Or, it could be some distant location or of military
significance.


MODERATOR:
>From a mountaintop, a short drive from New Mexico's super-secret
Los Alamos nuclear weapons laboratory, retired Army colonel John
Alexander explains the military significance of remote viewing.


JOHN ALEXANDER:
Through remote viewing, you can have access to information that
would be otherwise hidden to you, even by traditional means of
intelligence such as overhead cameras or things of that nature.
And because sometimes it works, you can have a competitive edge
in knowing what's going on in areas that are hidden from view.


MODERATOR:
A former Special Forces commander in Vietnam, Alexander served in
a number of sensitive posts during his military and government
career -- including an assignment at the Los Alamos laboratory.
While still in the military, he worked with the Army's
intelligence and security command, where a small unit of
"viewers" operated.

In the '70s, remote viewing was instrumental in scoring a big
intelligence coup for the United States.


JOHN ALEXANDER:
There is a case that was reported with the downing of a Soviet
aircraft in South Africa. And there was a race between us and the
Soviet Union to get to that craft. But neither side was exactly
sure where it went down. Using remote viewing techniques, we were
able to steer our recovery committee to within 100 meters. And
we, in fact, beat the Soviets to the plane.


MODERATOR:
One of the "remote viewers" who worked in the Army's intelligence
command with Colonel Alexander is retired major, Ed Banes(?).
Banes left the Army and founded his own company to take advantage
of the remote viewing methods he learned in the military.

One of the key abilities he learned was something called "bi-
locating".


ED BANES:
The technique teaches the unconscious to perform in a certain
way. We gain access, our minds gain closer and closer contact
with our target -- a person, place, thing or event -- until the
point where we can... We "bi-locate": about *half* of our
awareness is located at the site.


MODERATOR:
Recognizing Banes' unique ability, Defense Intelligence Agency
selected him to hunt down the greatest known terrorist: Libyan
dictator Moamar Khadafi(sp?).


ED BANES:
When I was assigned to the Defense Intelligence Agency, I
personally remote-viewed the current position of Moamar Khadafi
so that attacks could be executed against him. In that case, I
remember Moamar Khadafi's mental state: he was boisterous,
expressed a lot of bravado to those around him. But inside, he
was apprehensive. Not frightened, necessarily -- but looking over
his shoulders, particularly looking up. That kind of idea. 'Cuz
he knew that the United States was trying to find him.


MODERATOR:
The government was so intrigued by Banes' unconventional
capability, he and his company, PsiTech, were *again* utilized
during Operation Desert Storm to locate the compound of "madman"
Saddam Hussein and his surplus of lethal weapons.


ED BANES:
About 48 hours prior to the invasion of Kuwait City by the
allies, PsiTech was asked to determine whether or not Saddam
Hussein or his forces left behind a weapon of mass destruction in
the city -- a nuclear, biological or chemical weapon. In
prosecuting that particular project, we discovered the existence
of Iraq's biological warfare program.


MODERATOR:
Through remote viewing, Banes and others in his company were able
to produce detailed diagrams of biological warfare sites for U.N.
inspection teams in Iraq.


ED BANES:
We searched an area, a peninsula, near Sumara(?), Iraq, that had
already been bombed. We *did* find two locations, very close to
each other. One was a storage depot that was hidden beneath an
Iraqi Special Forces training compound and nearby another storage
facility where, had stored chemical weapons. And the Iraqi forces
had piled rubble over the top of it, to imitate bomb damage.


MODERATOR:
The military's interest in parapsychology began back in the '50s,
when the Army contacted the Rhine Institute at Duke University to
do studies for them. But the big boost came from the Cold War and
the fear of the Soviets.


ED BANES:
There was nothing like the threat of "the Soviet Union is doing
it." That was the best way to get, you know, money, for any of
this stuff.


JOHN ALEXANDER:
One of my jobs was keeping track of work that was done in the
Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact. And we did know that they had
extensive efforts in these fields. It was of sufficient concern
that we felt we needed to keep track of what was going on and do
parallel research.


MODERATOR:
Much of that research was funded by the CIA. *Encounters* asked
the agency about their sponsorship of remote viewing and other
parapsychological research. The agency sent this letter to
*Encounters*: not only does the CIA acknowledge that they
sponsored research into remote viewing in the '70s, but they say
that, at the request of Congress, the CIA is now analyzing remote
viewing to see how useful it may be for *future* intelligence
collection.

The key to remote viewing's usefulness is how accurate it is.
Trained viewer teams are said to achieve success rates of 70
percent.

But what about using remote viewing to track down a suspect like
the unabomber, the notorious fugitive wanted for carrying out a
string of bombings over the last 17 years and who has managed to
elude the FBI's best efforts to catch him? Banes is so confident
of his abilities, he is willing to make public the information he
and his colleagues have gathered by remote viewing the unabomber.

Now, exclusively on *Encounters*, his findings:


ED BANES:
The key assessments, based upon our work, was that there are two
individuals associated with bomb fabrication and delivery. These
two individuals live in the South Bend - Elkhart, Indiana area.
The first individual lives alone within a city, the south,
southeast quadrant of one of those cities. He appears to have
been an equipment repairman in the past.

Individual #2 lives on the outskirts of one of those cities, a
place that can be described as rural agricultural. Heavy
petrochemical smells are present in the area.


MODERATOR:
Although the accuracy of Banes' unabomber data remains to be
seen, it is certain that remote viewing offers a distinct if
unorthodox method of seeking that which is unknown.


ED BANES:
Essentially, they can run, but they cannot hide.
