McMoneagle recounts his 1970 near-death experience, arriving at an Austrian hospital without a heartbeat for 8 to 15 minutes, passing through a tunnel into white light he now believes represents the "totality of identity" across lifetimes rather than God, because he noticed it had edges. On remote viewing's reach, he cites experiments targeting outer-rim planets before Explorer satellites and his 1983 viewing of the Great Pyramid's construction, describing features confirmed by archaeology 13 years later. He predicts sea-level rise will inundate coastal nuclear plants and says Florida is already in trouble.
An interview Art Bell says he could have continued for hours, with the most credentialed remote viewer to have served American intelligence.
Key Moments
First test at SRI: the Stanford art museum: McMoneagle describes his first remote viewing trial at SRI with Russell Targ, where he was asked to describe a randomly chosen target without instruction and accurately drew the front of the Stanford Art Museum, scoring a p-value of .003 over six trials.
Iran hostage crisis: identifying the hostages: When the U.S. embassy in Tehran was seized on a Sunday and intelligence had no way to know who was a hostage, the Army brought 500 photographs to McMoneagle's three-month-old training unit, and the viewers identified the actual hostages from the photos.
The 1970 near-death experience in Austria: McMoneagle recounts swallowing his tongue during a seizure outside a restaurant in Brunner, Austria, being delivered DOA after 8 to 15 minutes, and his classic NDE: tunnel walls made of people, life review, and being enveloped in white light before being told he had to go back.
Don't go to the light: rethinking the experience: Art raises John Lear's warning that the white light is a trick. McMoneagle counters with his own reframe: after a second NDE where he could see the light had edges, he no longer thinks it is God but rather the totality of identity, our energetic self across many lifetimes.
Remote viewing the Great Pyramid: On a 1983 session targeting the construction of the Great Pyramid, McMoneagle reported men walking on water, large reed boats, a loading dock, and a dammed lake used as a perfectly flat engineering plane. In 1996 the LA Times reported archaeologists had found exactly those features.
