Lyn Buchanan spent 25+ years in the U.S. military's classified Stargate remote viewing unit, where controlled remote viewing was used to gather intelligence using what is essentially psychic abilities.
In this episode, he explains what remote viewing is, how it differs from general psychic ability, and why the military deployed it as an operational tool for over two decades. He also discusses his face-to-face alien encounter during an abduction, technology transfer between humans and extraterrestrials, and remote viewing assignments targeting other planets and alien civilizations for space research companies. Lyn's military career inspired the film "The Men Who Stare at Goats" and his book "The Seventh Sense." He founded the International Remote Viewing Association (IRVA) and now trains civilians in controlled remote viewing through his website and course platform.
Topics include: how controlled remote viewing accesses subconscious intelligence with 10x accuracy of traditional psychic methods, his psychokinesis incident that led to military recruitment, classified encounters with Gray aliens, technology trading between governments and ET groups, demographic profiling tools for cultural integration, and why remote viewing ability exists in all humans but has been suppressed culturally and genetically. Lyn discusses ongoing remote viewing contracts with space agencies and why governments classify findings that could reshape human understanding of consciousness and extraterrestrial contact.

Luciano Arruda, president of the International Remote Viewing Association (IRVA), has been collecting information through remote viewing and psychic abilities since 1989. He shares the incredible story of President Jimmy Carter witnessing something that proved remote viewing works: psychic abilities finding a missing plane. Remote viewing is a structured protocol that allows people to access information that is non-local and not attached to time and space without knowing what the target is.
Luciano has experienced remarkable precognition throughout his life. He anticipates what people will say seconds before they speak, hears future events like a blue car pulling out of a parking lot three seconds before it happens, and accesses information through meditation that most people miss. He explains why remote viewing matters more than general psychic abilities: it's structured, allows you to work with groups, and keeps practitioners humble by showing them where they're wrong so they can learn.
He discusses government remote viewing programs, how remote viewing differs from ESP and clairvoyance, and why the CIA used this technique. He shares specific examples of remote viewing sessions that provided accurate information about targets people never knew beforehand.
Luciano emphasizes that anyone can learn remote viewing. It's like learning violin. Some will excel; others will stay at beginner level. But everyone can improve their intuition and decision-making. He invites people to practice free through IRVA's website and attend their annual conference.
