IRVA.
Remote viewing
is a novel perceptual discipline for gaining information not available
to the ordinary physical senses. Used extensively by so-called "psychic spies" during the Cold War for classified military projects, it has
a long history both as an intelligence gathering tool and as the subject of research and applications in the civilian world. Remote viewing
has now taken a long step into the public domain with the formation of a professional association to educate, research, propose standards,
test performance, and promote public awareness of this unique human mental capacity.

"When practitioners of paranormal 'remote viewing' gather here in June, they will enjoy a little more swagger than in the past.
Last year, a California court convicted a swindler of murder in a case that was solved partly, the lead police investigator said,
with the help of remote viewing, a type of extrasensory perception (ESP) that was studied by the U.S. military starting in the 1970s
as a way to gather intelligence . . ."
