A visual map of Remote Viewing history

This document provides a visual historical map of the development and evolution of Remote Viewing, spanning from its origins in the early 1970s through 2010. It documents the transition of remote viewing from a classified military and intelligence-backed research program into the public domain. The timeline begins in 1971 with Ingo Swann and Cleve Backster, followed by the establishment of research at SRI International and later at Fort Meade. Key government programs identified include Gondola Wish, Grill Flame, Center Lane, Sun Streak, and Star Gate, which was eventually cancelled by the CIA in 1995. The document tracks the involvement of various key figures such as Harold E. Puthoff, Russell Targ, Ed Dames, and others who transitioned from military or intelligence-related work to private practice or instruction. Following the 1989 public disclosure of remote viewing, the map details the proliferation of private organizations, schools, and instructional services, including PSITECH, FARSIGHT, Transdimensional Systems, and various others. The document notes that the map is not exhaustive and reflects individuals and groups officially involved or publicly active in the field. It also highlights specific milestones such as the publication of books, the formation of professional associations like the International Remote Viewing Association (IRVA), and the emergence of mixed-method research projects in the late 2000s.
