Description: Art Bell welcomes Lyn Buchanan, one of the original military remote viewers from the U.S. government's classified program that operated from 1984 through 1992. The show opens with a remarkable account from Bonnie Crystal and her partner Jessica, who describe a missing time experience while driving through California. Both women lost approximately 45 minutes and 50 miles of travel with no memory, an event Art personally corroborated via ham radio contact.Buchanan discusses the distinction between natural psychic ability and controlled remote viewing, explaining that the military method provides a structured framework for accessing information across time and space. He describes a "collective conscious" that trained viewers can tap into, comparing it to searching Google for hidden knowledge. Art and Buchanan explore the practical applications, including work done informally with intelligence agents after September 11 and the tantalizing possibility that remote viewing has quietly helped prevent subsequent attacks on American soil.The conversation takes a dramatic turn when Buchanan reveals his background in remote influencing, describing how intense anger once caused him to destroy millions of dollars in computer equipment with his mind. General Stubblebine personally recruited him after witnessing the incident. Buchanan also shares his unit's remote viewing of Mars, describing an ancient civilization that perished due to catastrophic climate change.
