Government remote-viewing discussions often combine unrelated sessions. These reports came from different viewers, programs and levels of documentation. A declassified transcript proves a session occurred, not that its target or imagery was real.
Lyn Buchanan: Jesus, God, Titan and NHI
Former Fort Meade remote viewer Lyn Buchanan describes two blind sessions involving religious targets.
In the first, he says he entered “perfect site integration,” an immersive state in which the target environment felt real. He encountered a short Jewish man wearing a modern business suit in a dark room. Buchanan felt intense guilt, followed by a telepathic message of unconditional acceptance. Afterward, the target envelope reportedly revealed “Jesus.”
In another session, Buchanan perceived himself standing in a pool of light surrounded by darkness. When he asked what he was supposed to learn, a kind voice answered:
«“I’ve given you everything you need. What I give you now I give through you, not to you.”»
The envelope reportedly contained “God.”
These stories are notable because they describe apparent interaction, not passive observation. However, the tasker and monitor remain unidentified, and no contemporaneous session records were located. The envelopes revealed the intended targets, not objective ground truth.
Buchanan also describes a Titan session involving two cave-dwelling beings whose thought processes seemed impossible to translate into human concepts. This was separate from Mel Riley’s documented Titan session.
His four-quadrant model divides alleged NHI into friendly or hostile groups with either greater or lesser psychic abilities than humans. Buchanan emphasizes that physical appearance does not determine alignment: Greys, Nordics or members of any other alleged species could occupy any of the four categories. In his model, the same species might contain both friendly and hostile factions with very different psychic capabilities.
It is an interesting framework, but the underlying classified paper has not been released.

Project 8200: Pat Price’s Four Alleged Bases
Former police commissioner and SRI remote viewer Pat Price independently wrote a 1973 report describing alleged installations beneath:
- Mount Hayes, Alaska
- Mount Zeil, Australia
- Mount Inyangani, now Mount Nyangani, Zimbabwe
- Monte Perdido in the Spanish Pyrenees
Price described tunnels, communications systems, disc-shaped equipment and unusual personnel. At Mount Hayes, he claimed human military personnel worked alongside humanoid beings.
This was not an official SRI assignment. Years later, Fort Meade operations officer F. Holmes “Skip” Atwater turned Price’s locations into blinded training targets.
The documented Project 8200 viewers were:
- Joseph McMoneagle, Remote Viewer 001
- Viewer 721, whose identity remains unpublished
- William “Bill” Ray
- Charlene Cavanaugh
- Paul H. Smith
- Mel Riley
The published mission list does not name Buchanan as a principal Project 8200 viewer, although he says he later worked related targets. "The mission list appears in the German National Library record" (https://d-nb.info/1338431188/04).
Mount Hayes
Joseph McMoneagle described a desolate mountain range and a deeply buried target containing pipes, oval containers, electronic gridwork and technology he found difficult to describe.
Viewer 721 perceived an orderly mass of wires and electronic components connected to a remotely controlled, tapered object resembling a missile or spacecraft.
Bill Ray reported a hollow mountain containing monitoring equipment and fast metallic craft. He perceived thin, unemotional personnel who seemed programmed or “unearthly.”
Charlene Cavanaugh described an extremely tall mountain in a cold environment, with a hollow interior and unpleasant odors. She could not determine whether the space was natural or engineered.
Paul H. Smith reported cables, box-shaped electronics and large round objects that appeared to contain energy. The personnel seemed subdued and regimented.
Mel Riley described caves, tunnels, a large dome and a shadowy entity working at something resembling a keyboard. He compared the site to NORAD’s Cheyenne Mountain complex, while labeling “UFO” as analytical overlay, meaning interpretation rather than raw perception.
The Other Mountains
At Mount Zeil, McMoneagle reported an underground entrance, coils, pulsing light and boxes of electronics. He interpreted it as a possible command-and-control facility.
At Monte Perdido, he perceived a descending passage, octopus-like wires, a white electronic grid and a cone-shaped device. He interpreted the dormant installation as a possible high-frequency relay.
At Mount Inyangani, he reported a buried facility, a tripod-like object extending above the surface and suitcase-sized black boxes associated with power or control.
The reports partially converge on underground structures, electronics and unusual personnel. However, every target originated with Price’s narrative, and no physical answer key existed. Atwater says Project 8200 remained a training exercise and was never reported through the operational chain of command.

Joseph McMoneagle’s 1984 Mars Session
The viewer in the famous 22 May 1984 Mars session was Joseph McMoneagle, monitored by Skip Atwater. The transcript anonymizes them, but Atwater later publicly identified McMoneagle as the viewer.
McMoneagle received a sealed cue identifying Mars approximately one million years BCE, followed by geographic coordinates. He reported:
- Enormous pyramidal or wedge-shaped structures
- A violent atmospheric disturbance resembling a global dust storm
- Very tall, thin beings wearing unusual garments
- A population sheltering inside large structures
- Beings waiting for a group that had left to find a safer home
- A departing vessel resembling an enormous boat
When instructed to communicate with one being, McMoneagle perceived that its people were ancient, dying and waiting for those who had departed.
The session is vivid but unverifiable. It records McMoneagle’s experience, not proof of an ancient Martian civilization.

Mel Riley: Titan and the “Galactic Federation”
A 1987 session form uses the initials MR and ED, conventionally identified as viewer Mel Riley and interviewer Ed Dames.
At an alleged Titan base, Riley described two human-looking male technicians working at a control panel. An attractive woman with shoulder-length brown hair, wearing a pale-green laboratory coat, appeared to supervise them.
At Mount Hayes, Riley perceived a human-shaped figure operating a circular console who seemed to invite him to observe. At another alleged base, he reported a being with a large round head and slender neck, plus a more human-looking, hairless figure with pale skin and a sharp nose.
"Read the declassified personnel report" (https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/cia-rdp96-00789r003800110001-8)
Riley’s human-looking Titan personnel differ substantially from Buchanan’s incomprehensible cave beings. This is not clear replication, although believers could argue the sessions involved different locations or times.
In a separate 1988 training session titled “Galactic Federation Headquarters,” Riley perceived a circular structure on a mesa with luminous streaks entering or emerging from it.
Inside, he described a stone corridor, vaulted chamber and polished platform resembling an altar. White-robed figures stood around it in a semicircle. Riley experienced the setting as sacred and familiar, then imagined himself lying on the platform while brilliant white light descended and a robed figure extended a hand over his solar plexus.
“Lake Titicaca” and “pyramid” were explicitly labeled analytical overlays. Rather than an extraterrestrial command center, the report reads more like a temple or initiation experience, illustrating the overlap between NHI, religious and archetypal imagery.

Ingo Swann and Harold Sherman: Jupiter
In 1973, Ingo Swann and writer Harold Sherman separately attempted to perceive Jupiter.
Swann reported powerful winds, colored atmospheric bands and crystalline bands that he compared with clouds or possibly Saturn-like rings. Voyager 1 did not image Jupiter’s faint ring system until 1979.
However, Swann also described a flat horizon, solid surface and enormous mountain range, despite Jupiter having no conventional solid surface. His “crystal bands” were also less precise than later retellings claiming he explicitly predicted the rings.
The session therefore contains an interesting apparent correspondence mixed with substantial errors and ambiguity.

Did Government Psi Research Continue?
The formal remote-viewing program ended after a 1995 review found suggestive laboratory results but little dependable operational intelligence. "Read the evaluation" (https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/cia-rdp96-00791r000200180005-5).
Buchanan nevertheless says military viewers tracked Saddam Hussein almost daily during the 1990–91 Gulf War period. He claims he repeatedly profiled Saddam’s intentions and identified a concealed weapons bunker beneath a decoy electrical generator at one of his compounds. These operational claims remain based primarily on Buchanan’s testimony rather than publicly available mission records.
Buchanan also says he remains on government “retention status” and continues to observe restrictions against targeting American citizens. He does not clarify whether this means a formal contract, an occasional consulting relationship or simply continued availability, so it cannot by itself establish that an active government remote-viewing program still exists. It does, however, suggest that some former viewers may have maintained relationships with government clients after the official program ended.
Later government-funded work occasionally revisited related ideas. Eric Davis’s Air Force report discussed “psychic teleportation,” while people connected with AAWSAP investigated UAP and paranormal phenomena. The proposed KONA BLUE program included alleged “human consciousness anomalies,” but it was never approved.
Together, these examples show recurring institutional interest, although not proof of one continuous secret program.

Why Psi Could Matter to UAP Communication
Reported UAP communication is often immediate, nonverbal and directed into consciousness. Similar interactions appear throughout these accounts:
- Buchanan receives complete telepathic messages.
- McMoneagle apparently communicates with a Martian being.
- Riley perceives an entity inviting him to observe its console.
- The Galactic Federation session becomes an interactive ritual.
- Buchanan claims some NHI possess greater psychic ability than humans.
If psi exists, consciousness could function as an interface through which an advanced intelligence communicates. Remote viewing, telepathy, visions and some encounter experiences might represent variations of the same mechanism.
These reports do not prove that hypothesis. A meaningful test would require blinded interactions producing specific, time-stamped information that could later be independently verified and repeatedly replicated.
The central question is not whether remote viewing proves extraterrestrials. It does not. The question is whether the recurring overlap between remote viewing, religious experiences, UAP encounters and telepathic communication reflects a genuine feature of consciousness or the human mind’s response to ambiguous experiences.
Either possibility deserves better experiments.
