Remote viewing

Trying to describe a distant target without seeing it. Made famous by US programs of the 70s-90s — better experienced first-hand than taken on faith.

Try it

Remote viewing is a protocol: a person tries to describe a place, object or image they have no ordinary way of knowing, identified only by a neutral reference.

Where it comes from

The subject owes its fame to US-government-funded programs (Stargate, SRI International, 1970-1995), since declassified. The official conclusions were negative; some of the researchers involved dispute that reading. The debate is an excellent case study in evidence, protocol and bias.

Try it rather than argue it

That is exactly the spirit of this map: instead of settling it in theory, test it in a clean setup. RemoteGuesser offers sessions with random targets and scoring — a playful way to make up your own mind, alone or with friends.
