giving workshops on how to do remote viewing.
I remember Joe as a highly intelligent and enthusiastic colleague. Ten years ago he was drinking a cappuccino in my living room and telling me about his out-of-body and near-death experiences from a sudden, mysterious illness when he had been stationed in Germany. It was his experience of psychically looking down on his body, which was lying on the pavement, that led him to become interested in remote viewing.
Joe completed very successful trials with us in 1979, when we did experiments with five other participants that Hal and I had recruited from the same Army Intelligence organization where Joe worked. This series showed us that psi abilities come in all sizes and shapes. Four of these inexperienced participants achieved independent statistical significance in their six trials, giving odds of better than I in 10,000. 10 This outstanding result recapitulates the kind of data that we reported in our original paper published in the IEEE Proceedings in 1976. All of these military people went on to teach many others in the U.S. Armed Services how to successfully do remote viewing. Two of these men have written books about their adventures in what eventually became a surprisingly large cadre of psychic spies.
After we last worked with him in 1978, Joe continued to apply himself to improving his psi abilities. Some recently released data shows him doing remote viewing with an almost photographic accuracy even more precise than the remarkable drawings he did for us, two of which are described below.
