It's December 5th, 1988, and a top-secret team operating within a shadowy corner of the Defense Intelligence Agency is on the hunt.

Somewhere in the world, deep underground, they may have just zeroed in on the location of a long-lost artifact.

The legendary Ark of the Covenant.

Now, stories about the Ark vary in their details, but here are the basics.

The Old Testament says God commanded Moses to build this sacred box.

He gave exact specifications.

Acacia wood, plated in gold, two and a half cubits long, so a little over three and a half feet, and two golden cherub statues perched on top.

The Ark of the Covenant goes on to serve a few divine purposes, including housing the Ten Commandments and, well, if you know Raiders of the Lost Ark, it may also have face-melting properties if it falls into the wrong hands.

Depending on what you believe, the Ark of the Covenant either vanished 2,000 years ago or it never existed at all.

That's one of the mysteries this spy team is trying to solve.

The other, whether or not remote viewing is real.

The search party works under Project Sunstreak, and the person seeking the Ark right now is not out in the field.

They're seated in a recliner inside an office building at Fort Meade in Maryland.

Physically, they're not going anywhere.

Psychically, they're beaming their consciousness halfway across the world.

That's how they're attempting to find this lost relic.

And according to the declassified files from that day, it looks like they actually find it.

The notes from that remote viewing session and so many more are released to the public 12 years later.

Not only do they reveal the search for the Ark of the Covenant, they also tell a much bigger story that is almost too bizarre to be believed.

Psychic experiments that are so accurate, they can't be written off as mere coincidence.
