As California authorities examine the very limited remains found at the site of famed aviator Steve Fossett's crash in California's Sierra Nevadas, it's time to take a look back. Months ago, a remote viewing prediction said search efforts in Nevada were wasted because Fossett had died in California.
Whew.
That claim came from controversial, self-proclaimed remote viewing expert Ed Dames, a frequent guest on Coast to Coast, the alien-UFO-paranormal broadcast begun by Art Bell and now anchored by George Noory. Dames, also called "Dr. Doom" for recent psychic-style predictions of Earth's "end times," has bounced through a great deal of controversy in his career, including having a $2,000,000 judgment slapped against him for the appropriation of intellectual property.
All that aside, Dames did say several months ago that Fossett was dead, and that searchers wouldn't find him in Nevada--his departure point on the recreational flight that led to his death--because he crashed in California. Dames also said that Fossett had gone down in the rugged Sierrra Mountains.
In July, Dames discussed the Fossett search and his earlier prediction that the plane had gone down in California. This link leads you to a map and the access to that show.
What the heck is remote viewing? According to Wiki:
Remote Viewing (RV) refers to the attempt to gather information about a distant or unseen target using paranormal means or extra-sensory perception. Typically a remote viewer is expected to give information about an object that is hidden from physical view and separated at some distance.[The term was introduced by parapsychologists Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff in 1974.[4]
The U.S. government explored remote viewing in the Stargate Project. Reportedly, other governments, including Russia, have done the same. Among the Stargate participants: Ed Dames and David Morehouse, who went on to write Psychic Warrior, a turgid account of his time in Stargate.
Back to the here and now. In California, police aren't sure if a bone at the crash site is human or not. It's been more than a year since Fossett disappeared, but authorities also say that they have recovered enough remains to do a DNA check, CSI-style.
Should searchers have listened to Dames? You decide.
