01
A target, a viewer, a record
Remote-viewing sessions record impressions about a target. Comparing those impressions with independently known information is central to assessing a result.
THE IDEA IN A MINUTE
Stargate & remote viewing
The U.S. government investigated whether people could describe distant targets without ordinary sensory access. Stargate is a way into that history, including its overlap with Monroe’s work and the debate over its results.
02
People connect the stories
Joe McMoneagle and Skip Atwater link military remote viewing with Monroe’s work through training, research and later interviews.
03
Claims and results differ
Participant accounts, contemporary records and the 1995 evaluation answer different questions. A compelling story is a starting point for investigation.

ONE STORY TO FOLLOW
Joe McMoneagle and the Mars session
A 1984 session record describes impressions of Mars in the distant past. The released transcript labels its speakers MON and SUB; a later archived account identifies McMoneagle. His later interviews offer his own recollections. Those are related sources, with different kinds of evidence.
Did the program establish that it worked?
The 1995 review separates laboratory results from practical intelligence use. Reviewers disputed how to interpret the statistical findings; the operational assessment found insufficient reliability and specificity for actionable intelligence and recommended against continued use.
That makes the distinction useful: what a participant experienced, what a session recorded, and what an independent review concluded are different questions.
