So when I got back as a lieutenant, I went into colonel's office and he said, well, lieutenant, you're coming to me to tell me where you want to get assigned. And I said, well, sir, it's a little bit different than that. And he said, well, what's that? And I said, there's a book here by some scientists called MindReach out at Stanford Research Institute.

And they're studying something called remote viewing. And he said, well, what's that? And I said, that's why I'm bringing you this book, sir. I think this is very dangerous and a threat to the counterintelligence work we do. And he said, well, leave the book with me, Lieutenant, and come on back tomorrow and we'll talk about this. Came back tomorrow and he said, Lieutenant, I think you're right.

And that's when he reassigned me to the Pentagon, which I never got to. So that's the beginning of it, of how I got into remote viewing. Started back at Fort Huachuca with Rob Cowart, deciding this isn't right. We should be doing something. This is our job to watch this. And then things switched back and forth from...

the idea of not getting to the Pentagon, that wasn't the place I should be, because arrangements were made, and wound up at Fort Meade behind the green door. And I was given a room behind the green door after I passed all my security clearances and everything, and dug through the safes in the room And I reached down into this one and picked it up.

Those are three classified documents on remote viewing. Wait a minute. I thought all this remote viewing stuff was done since I didn't go to the Pentagon like it was planned that I was going to go do that. What is this stuff anyway? So I read through it. And Major Keenan, my boss then, was down the hallway, and I came out and said, what is it, Lieutenant?

I wasn't the regular lieutenant because I'd been in the Army 10 years as an enlisted man, so they had a little more respect for me. And I took these in and I said, sir, I found these three documents here, and they're all about remote viewing. And he said, oh, yeah, Lieutenant Colonel Skotsko was over there. And he was very interested in that.

General Thompson was the one that was looking after that. What was that all about? And General Thompson in this story becomes Major General Thompson later. And there's a term in the military called getting a grandfather term. meaning there's somebody who's going to take care of you and make sure you do the right thing.
