At a conference on 9 March 1992, former Army remote-viewing officer Ed Dames, president of the company PSI TECH, said an aerospace company had asked his firm to do "anti-gravity work" by remote viewing UFOs.[1]

Dames joined the Army's remote-viewing unit, later known as Stargate, in early 1986 as a session monitor and analyst rather than a trained viewer, and became known for pushing the method to extremes with targets such as Atlantis, Mars and aliens.[2]

The 1992 talk

In the talk, Dames said PSI TECH had been incorporated in 1989, had six employees who were serving Army intelligence or special operations officers, and had been taught by the psychic Ingo Swann. He described an in-house "Alien Technical Operations Site Study" that he said had run for ten years, with Nobel laureates working at a UFO site the company had found, and promised a public announcement within about a year. He said an aerospace company had asked for anti-gravity work, and that PSI TECH remote viewed the inside and outside of craft to try to establish how they worked, passing the results to clients' scientists.[1]

Dames became a regular guest on Coast to Coast AM. His predictions there did not come true, and no announcement about the UFO site or any verified result from the anti-gravity work ever appeared.[1][2]

The claims rest on Dames's own statements. Remote viewing has not been shown to produce reliable information, and the government program was closed in 1995 after an outside evaluation found no evidence that it had been of value to intelligence.[2]
