March 27, 2004: Remote Viewing - Russell Targ
Published 7 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Art Bell sits down with physicist Russell Targ, co-founder of the Stanford Research Institute's remote viewing program, who reveals for the first time how the CIA program truly began. Targ describes how retired police commissioner Pat Price identified the leader of the SLA from a mug book and psychically located the actual kidnap car used in the Patty Hearst case.
Targ recounts the pivotal moment when Pat Price, given only geographic coordinates, accurately described a secret Soviet weapons facility at Semi-Palatinsk, including a gantry crane and a 60-foot steel sphere later confirmed by satellite photography. The results were so precise that the program was defended before the House Committee on Intelligence Oversight, and funding continued for over two decades.
The conversation also covers precognition and forecasting silver futures, Douglas Dean's research showing corporate executives with strong ESP outperform their peers, and evidence for survival after death drawn from the cross-correspondence experiments. Targ discusses his daughter Elizabeth's passing and apparent posthumous communications, and explains how quieting the mind allows anyone to develop remote viewing abilities.
