In this chapter we show that there are no secrets. It doesn't matter that the government won't release all the information in its possession about long-distance remote viewing. We have enough, and I am not even going to speculate on what the Freedom of Information Act data would reveal regarding the tens of thousands of pages not yet released. After all, going to prison is too high a price to pay for telling a secret that isn't a secret. On the other hand, according to Reuters, former President Carter confirmed Jack Anderson's story about our finding a missing Soviet airplane, in his September 1995 speech to college students in Atlanta. Thank you, Mr. President.
Pat Price, whom we mentioned briefly in the preceding chapter, was a gift to our program at SRI. One day in June of 1973, Pat called Hal Puthoff to say that he had been following our research. He felt that he had been doing the same kind of psychic work for years, successfully using remote visualization to catch crooks when he was the police commissioner in Burbank, California. He told us that he would sit with the dispatcher in the police station, and when he heard a crime reported, he would scan the city psychically and then immediately send a car to the spot where he saw a frightened man hiding!
After we began working with Price we realized that this exceptional man actually lived his life as a completely integrated psychic person. We had worked with many other talented individuals, but we never met anyone else who showed the same continuous psychic awareness of the world around him. We show a photo of Pat Price together with out-of-body researcher Robert Monroe in the laboratory at SRI in Figure 5.
Here is just one example of Pat's amazing ability to scan the entire globe with his mind: During the Yom Kippur War of 1973, the Israelis were being badly beaten because the Egyptians had radar-guided anti-aircraft guns that were shooting down their planes. One day, as we were walking to lunch (which for Price was usually French fries, cherry pie, and a Coke), he told us that the direction of the war was about to turn. He knew this because his remote vision had seen new pods being fitted to the wings of Israeli planes, and he guessed correctly that these were electronic jammers to be used against the Egyptian radar. This top-secret development was the
