Lyn Buchanan

Lyn Buchanan

Military RV · Author

Lyn grew up in a family that often relocated because of his father's railroad job, which gave him a multicultural and multilingual upbringing. After high school, he joined the military and became a computer specialist in guided missile systems, later serving as a Methodist minister while earning two Master's degrees in linguistics and psychology.

Upon re-entering active service, Lyn's linguistic abilities led him to military intelligence work. An incident eight years before his retirement brought him into the U.S. military's Controlled Remote Viewing unit, where he served as a viewer, database manager, and ultimately as a trainer for incoming personnel.

After retirement, he worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency before founding Problems > Solutions > Innovations, training remote viewers for police, medical, business, and personal applications. He currently resides in Alamogordo, New Mexico.

Lyn is the author of The Seventh Sense and Gravity Can Be Your Friend. He was portrayed by George Clooney as "Lyn Cassidy" in The Men Who Stare at Goats.

Edwin C. May

Edwin C. May, PhD

Star Gate Director · Researcher

Edwin C. May is a nuclear physicist and the former director of research for the U.S. government's Star Gate remote viewing program, which he led from 1985 until its closure in 1995. Over his twenty-year involvement with the program, he authored more than a hundred scientific publications and oversaw the vast majority of its research and data collection.

Trained in experimental nuclear physics, May joined the program at Stanford Research Institute in 1975, where he developed rigorous scientific protocols for remote viewing research. He founded the Cognitive Sciences Laboratory, which later became the operational heart of the Star Gate program, and subsequently established the Laboratories for Fundamental Research to continue psi investigations after the program's closure.

May is co-author of ESP Wars: East and West and Anomalous Cognition: Remote Viewing Research and Theory, and co-editor of the four-volume Star Gate Archives as well as the two-volume anthology Extrasensory Perception: Support, Skepticism, and Science. He is also the developer, with Sonali Bhatt Marwaha, of the Multiphasic Model of Precognition (MMPC), a physicalist theoretical framework for understanding psi phenomena.

Werner Betz

Werner Betz

Researcher · Author · Publisher

Werner Betz has long maintained that human history has unfolded differently from mainstream academic narratives. On his research trips to ancient cultural sites, he presents evidence that people in various historical eras possessed technological and scientific knowledge far exceeding what most scholars credit them with.

For several years, one of his primary research focuses has been time and dimensional portals — in the past and present — and their connection to physical anomalies.

For over 20 years, his travels have repeatedly taken him to the southern French Pyrenees, around the mountain Pic de Bugarach and the village of Rennes-le-Château. There he found evidence pointing to such portals and the story of an ancient underground UFO base. Using modern measuring technology, he has since found concrete indications of its existence — a secret, his historical research suggests, that has been known for at least 800 years.

Kai Brenner

Kai Brenner

YouTuber · Seminar Leader · Author

Kai Brenner is a German YouTuber, spiritual seminar leader, and author with over 200,000 subscribers on his channel Per Du mit dem Leben ("On First-Name Terms with Life"). His work centers on consciousness development, natural health, spiritual transformation, and holistic living, and he regularly incorporates remote viewing into his explorations of ancient sites and anomalous phenomena.

As founder of Dresscode Smile UG, Kai organizes retreats, ceremonies, and workshops — including traditional cacao ceremonies adapted for modern audiences — guiding participants toward inner clarity and deeper connection with themselves and nature. He has conducted remote viewing sessions at sites such as the Externsteine, the Bosnian Pyramids, and other locations of historical and energetic significance.

Kai is the author of Externsteine – Die Rückkehr des alten Volks, a morphic journey to the Externsteine combining photography and field readings. He is a regular speaker at congresses and summits on consciousness and spirituality across Germany and the German-speaking world.

Marcus Boldt

IT Consultant · TRV Specialist · IRVA CSI Austria

Marcus Boldt is an IT consultant and seasoned remote viewing specialist with decades of practical experience. One of the original pioneers who introduced Remote Viewing to Germany in 1996, his engagement with the field began in the 1980s after encountering a documentary on PSI TECH and Ed Dames' work.

Gunther Rattay

Gunther Rattay

RV Pioneer · Software Engineer · IRVA CSI Germany

Gunther Rattay is a German researcher, software engineer, and project manager who trained in Technical Remote Viewing under Ed Dames in May 1996 — and that same year became one of the first three people to introduce the Remote Viewing method to Germany. Over the decades since, he has trained more than 200 remote viewing students across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, earning recognition as the founding figure of RV instruction in the German-speaking world.

Most active RV trainers in Germany trace their lineage through Gunther's instruction. His training methodology is intentionally intensive and small-scale — limited to one or two students per cohort — to preserve the integrity of the protocol and ensure the highest quality of transmission. Beyond instruction, he holds special research interests in perception processing and the intersection of Remote Viewing with artificial intelligence, and regularly lectures and gives interviews on consciousness research and RV methodology.

As a software engineer, Gunther applies computational thinking to the analysis and advancement of RV data processing. He leads IRVA's Community of Special Interest for Germany and continues to contribute to the scientific understanding of remote viewing in German-speaking Europe and beyond.
