Joseph McMoneagle is a retired U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer and one of the most prominent and extensively documented remote viewers in history. Over a 20-year military intelligence career, he held highly classified assignments within the Army Security Agency and the 902nd Military Intelligence Group. From 1978 to 1984, he served as a Special Projects Intelligence Officer at Fort Meade, Maryland, where he was designated Remote Viewer #001 in the U.S. Army’s top-secret Stargate Program. During this time, he conducted more than 450 operational missions in support of U.S. intelligence objectives during the Cold War. For his contributions, he was awarded the Legion of Merit, one of the highest honors bestowed for excellence in intelligence service.

McMoneagle is the only remote viewer from the Stargate Program to have successfully performed live remote viewings under strict double-blind conditions on national television, multiple times, in four countries: the United States, Japan, France, and the United Kingdom. In Japan, he identified and located 12 of 24 missing persons during a televised series, working from concealed information sealed in envelopes. While recordings of other viewers’ sessions have appeared on television, McMoneagle is distinguished as the only one known to have conducted successful, controlled demonstrations in front of cameras. He is also the only remote viewer whose operational remote viewing materials are permanently displayed at the National Security Agency Museum, where each exhibit is considered unique and historically significant.

Following his retirement from the U.S. Army in 1984, McMoneagle continued his work in consciousness research under formal laboratory controls for more than three decades. He worked with Stanford Research Institute International (SRII), Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), and the Laboratories for Fundamental Research (LFR) in Palo Alto. He was the only member of the original Stargate remote viewing unit to remain actively engaged in long-term laboratory research after military service. He also accompanied Dr. Edwin May on two visits to Moscow after the fall of the Berlin Wall, where he conducted controlled experiments with members of the Russian psychic unit—experiments that reportedly yielded highly successful results.

With more than 48 years as a professional remote viewer, McMoneagle has assisted corporations, law enforcement, government agencies, and private individuals worldwide. He has been directly involved in controlled scientific research on anomalous cognition for over 35 years and has been a full member of the Parapsychological Association for more than 25 years. An accomplished author and lecturer, he has written influential works including Mind Trek, Remote Viewing Secrets, and The Ultimate Time Machine, and continues to explore the frontiers of human perception, time-transcending awareness, and consciousness studies.
