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 "bilocating".


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.
