Lyn Buchanan

Lyn grew up in a family that moved frequently due to his father’s work on the railroad. This upbringing exposed him to many cultures, personal paradigms, and a wide range of people, leading to a development that was both polycultural and multilingual.

After high school, he joined the military and became a computer specialist in the emerging field of computer-directed guided missile systems. He then had a 12-year break in service, during which he served as a Methodist minister while earning two Master’s degrees—one in linguistics and the other in psychology. Upon re-entering active military service, Lyn aimed to become a chaplain; however, due to his linguistic abilities, he was instead utilized as a Russian, German, and Mongolian linguist for military intelligence. An incident that was classified at the time, occurring just eight years before his retirement, led to his involvement in the U.S. military’s “Controlled Remote Viewing” unit, where he served as a remote viewer, database manager, property book officer, and ultimately, as a trainer for incoming personnel.

After retirement, Lyn worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency for several years before forming his own company, Problems > Solutions > Innovations. This organization now trains and employs Controlled Remote Viewers for police work, space and technical research and development, business, economic, medical, and personal applications. He currently resides in Alamogordo, New Mexico, where he trains military personnel in Controlled Remote Viewing for the public online.

Lyn is the author of two books. One, The Seventh Sense, discusses Controlled Remote Viewing and its military applications. The other, Gravity Can Be Your Friend – (It Can Also Get You Killed), is a science-based fictional book that examines and predicts police work in space. Lyn was also portrayed by George Clooney as the character “Lyn Cassidy” in the movie The Men Who Stare at Goats, a comedic take on the U.S. military’s remote viewing unit.

Thomas McNear

Lieutenant Colonel, US Army (ret.) Tom McNear was a member of the STAR GATE program from 1981–1985 as military personnel.

Tom was personally trained in Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV) by Ingo Swann and was the only viewer Ingo Swann trained up to level VI at the time. In those early days of the development of the CRV protocol, he acted as a “guinea pig to prove the principle”. Tom’s sessions later also began to develop to level VII (phonetics), naming many places about phonetics. Paul Smith wrote: “Tom’s results were not all impressive. Some could even be described as spectacular.”

In 1985 Tom wrote the first CRV manual based on his training with Ingo Swann. After leaving the Army’s remote viewing program in 1985, Tom continued his successful career in Army counter-espionage. He retired from military service in 1997. In 2011, after a 26 year hiatus, Tom had a successful CRV session with Ingo Swann as his monitor (see video below). He holds a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Saint Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas and continues to serve in the Army as a civil servant. He now lives in Seaford with his wife.

Werner Betz

Researcher, Author, and Publisher

Werner Betz has been convinced for many years that the history of humanity has unfolded differently in certain respects than what is reflected in the mainstream teachings of academic research. On his research trips and excursions to the historical sites of ancient cultures, he searches for new insights, and in his books, articles, and lectures he presents concrete evidence suggesting that people in various historical eras possessed technological and scientific knowledge that far exceeded what most scholars today are willing to credit them with.

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

For over 20 years, Werner Betz's travels have repeatedly taken him to the southern French Pyrenees, to the region around the mountain Pic de Bugarach and the small village of Rennes-le-Château. There, over the years, he found not only a disproportionately large number of clues pointing to such portals, but also came across the story of an ancient underground UFO base said to be located there. After receiving mysterious anonymous information supporting these accounts, he intensified his research in this area and has since found, with the help of modern measuring technology, concrete indications of their existence. Equally fascinating are the results of his historical research, which suggest that this "secret" must have been known for at least 800 years.
