Spooky Action
Thanks to The Thin Man, I rediscovered Jim Schnabel’s charmingly bizarre documentary, The Real X-Files. Originally broadcast by Channel 4 in August 1995, the film investigates the U.S. military’s Cold War research into extrasensory perception as a tool of espionage. By turns intriguing and hilarious - part pure bonkersdom, part genuine puzzle - the film can be viewed in full below. Be sure to keep an eye out for Sergeant Mel Riley and his impressive feathered headgear.
First, here’s a short preview:
Remote viewing. “Disrupt individuals.” Ingo’s target. Reading name tags.
“Like Kryptonite.” Random numbers. Volcanoes and atom bombs. “Undesirables.”
Stubblebine and spoon bending. “Psychic blowjobs.” Chasing ETs. Tuning in.
Jim Schnabel is the author of Remote Viewers: The Secret History of America’s Psychic Spies.
More on SRI’s “remote viewing” project can be found here.

That's one of the strangest things Ive seen in ages. Thanks David.

Yes, it’s intriguing and disquieting, for any number of reasons. I don’t think one should automatically dismiss the efforts to fathom what, if anything, was happening, but I should perhaps point out that Hal Puthoff and Ingo Swann were apparently Scientologists, at least for a time, and Swann is the author of a book on supposed future events called “What Will Happen to You When the Soviets Take Over?”
Readers will, I think, draw their own conclusions.

Yeah, Extrsensory Perception is clearly possible. To perform ESP one needs to take a small amount of a neuroleptic drug(anti-psychotic), drink a few beers and use mental visualization to realign the human bodies psychic field.
In 1986 to about 1998 it was possible to go to a disco and use this technique to create a open pathway, space or uniform area through a crowd of people dancing casually to music.
Do other people know about it the answers is probable , Yes.
Why doesn't the public know? Well the verification of ESP may take some time for researchers to comphrend and study.
