Scientist Russell Targ describes remote viewing research he conducted with sponsorship from the CIA and military intelligence establishment. He presents graphic illustrations of the tests that persuaded the government to fund this research. He describes his own personal experiences as a remote viewer. He explains that remote viewing, or free-response clairvoyance, is probably the single most successful research approach in parapsychology. Dr. Targ suggests that the mind itself reaches to the far ends of the universe and it is this "non-local" quality, rather than any particular mechanism, that accounts for the remarkable data of parapsychology.

Russell Targ is co-founder of the government sponsored remote viewing research program at SRI International. He is co-author of The Mind Race, Mind At Large, Mind Reach and Miracles of Mind.
