Chapter 1: What insights does Lyn Buchanan share about psychic abilities?
If we develop our psychic ability, we are going to be a power in the universe because we can see way into the future, anywhere in space. That's why our friends want us out there and our enemies don't want us off this planet.
You have experienced so much, both in the world of remote viewing. You are the inspiration for The Men Who Stare at Goats, an incredible George Clooney movie about a psychic spy stopping a goat's heart. So you must have had a very high clearance.
Oh, yeah. I had one of the highest clearances, not only for the remote viewing, but for other stuff that will never be talked about. You remote viewed alien bases. The four major alien bases on the Earth, one in Mount Haze, Alaska, Mount Zeal in Australia.
Secret Mountain near Bradshaw Ranch in Sedona, Arizona. Mount Inyangani is another alien base. Have you ever seen humans and aliens working side by side in a non-remote viewing capacity?
Yeah, one of the, what they call the insectoids. Wow. It was sitting in a row of humans that were at the positions working some equipment. Whoa.
You've seen a UFO inside a hangar.
That's where I came across this control panel, and that's when I said, hey, that's out of a UFO. So how do you fly a UFO? An impression of a hand on it where you put your finger over the hole controls the ship. The alien was there. He took me up front. He was the pilot. So I tried it and I learned how to do it.
People like you with high psi powers. Elite level skilled. You can do a lot. We can change the weather anywhere in the world.
This takes mutually assured destruction to a whole new level. The Russians look across the battlefield and kill their enemies by stopping their hearts. Our government was afraid of us. With the remote viewing, there's no more secrets. My biggest strength actually is accessing people mentally.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of remote viewing on military operations?
And I almost did this road trip across New Mexico. And so you would have been the first American Alchemy guest.
Well, hey, that's an honor for me. Well, it's an honor for me to be here today.
Thank you. It's an honor for me to have you. I think, without spoiling too much for the audience, you have experienced so much, both in the world of remote viewing. And, you know, you were stationed at Fort Meade and you are the inspiration for the men who stared at goats. This, you know, incredible George Clooney movie about a psychic spy stopping a goat's heart.
And we can talk about whether how real that is. But you also have all these kind of intersections with, you know, you remote viewed alien bases. You've seen a UFO inside a hangar, not just in some sort of liminal consciousness, remote viewing space. And so, I don't know, there's so many things. You've remote viewed political figures, religious figures. There's a lot to get into here.
So I'm very excited to have you.
I have lived in interesting times.
You have, and you are subtly referring to the Confucian proverb, it's better to live in interesting times, which is actually kind of a Confucian curse.
I know.
We live in interesting but bad times. Yeah. It's true. Yeah. Well, before I have you remote view Hantavirus and whatever's going to come down the pike, I want to start with your kind of origin story as far as how you got into the remote viewing program.

Chapter 3: What was Lyn Buchanan's experience with alien bases?
And they all started laughing at me. I turned around, and the other sergeant was at the back door of the room. And he said, gotcha, and turned around and walked off. He wanted that job, and he was just waiting. I got flaming angry. When I did, the entire field station went down. There was an estimate sometime later that it was about $50 million worth of computers that just
went bad fried and uh so for the next period of time that's still classified we were everybody at the field station was going to work taking their crossword puzzle books and all this you know making it look like to the russian spy in the sky like business as usual Come to find out later, the Russians were doing the same thing and were in East Germany because it had fried their computers too.
And so anyway, and this is documented, by the way. So anyway, General Stubblebine, the head of the Intelligence and Security Command, had been looking for something like that. He got wind of it and he came to the field station to install a new commander. And when he came, they came to my desk and they said, the general wants to see you. And I thought, oh crap, what have I done now?
And he installed the new commander. He and the new commander came back to the office And I was standing there waiting, and he looked at my name tag, and he said, you're Sergeant Buchanan. I said, yes, sir. He said, follow me. He grabbed me by the arm and shoved me ahead of him. Now, you walk behind the general. He shoved me ahead of him. We went into the new commander's office.
He turned to the new commander and said, I need to talk to Sergeant Buchanan. Get out. You can guess what list I went to the head of. And I was there for another two months at the top of that list. What list? The shit list. And anyway, about two months later, they got transferred to Fort Meade.
Okay.
And General Stubblebine wanted to put me as the beginning of a unit that would destroy enemy computers and with the end goal of controlling the enemy computers so that we could make their missiles turn around and go back or drop into the sea or something like that, or put false information into the enemy computers. Congress said, no, that's mind control and wouldn't fund it.
So he took me out to Fort Meade and... had that remote viewing unit. He took me out there and put me into that. And when they read me on, which is where they give you a sheet of paper that tells you what the unit really does, not what they tell the public it does. And you read that and down at the bottom, you sign it, 10 years in jail and $10,000 fine if you reveal any of this.
And so I read it, and I thought, this is a joke. The Army doesn't do psychic stuff.

Chapter 4: How does Lyn Buchanan describe his encounters with alien beings?
And come to find out, they did. And that's how I got into the unit. They started teaching me the Inga Swan Method, and I took to it like duck to water. I mean, it was the greatest thing I'd ever seen.
So Stubblebine, who's head of Army INSCOM, is that right? Intelligence and Security Command, yeah. Intelligence and Security Command. And he's looking for people like you with high psi powers.
Yes. He had been for years, yeah. Uh-huh.
So he's like, if we're in Stranger Things, you're like 11 and he's like Matthew Modine's character coming in.
I guess, yeah.
Saying this guy has some real, real powers.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Because I found out years later, I was at the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the cafeteria and I was sitting there. And this Aussie officer came up from Australia, you know, and asked if he could sit down. And I said, sure, you know. And so he sat at a table with me and started talking to me and said my name. And I said, how do you know my name?
He said, oh, your picture is on the wall of one of our computer people. He said, you're the one that knocked out our computers over in Australia. Oh, I did? So, yeah. I was flaming mad that day.
Clearly. That's wild. Yeah, it's interesting because Stubblebine works with a guy named John Alexander. He has a long history with him. Yeah, John. And Alexander always pops up.

Chapter 5: What insights does Lyn Buchanan share about the Rendlesham Forest incident?
Well, didn't you remote view the 1980 Rendlesham Forest incident?
Oh, yeah.
Where this is, you know, Royal Air Force Woodbridge, where you have sort of Royal Air Force, United States Air Force combined group in England near Rendlesham Forest. Yeah.
And one of my fortes is drawing floor plans. Okay. Of the insides of buildings. And I was the one that went inside that triangular craft and actually drew the floor plans and the insides and all that. Really? Yeah. Now...
to be honest can i back up though and just give the audience a little bit of context oh okay so 1980 uh three different uh u.s air force sergeants uh jim penniston john burroughs i'm blanking on the third guy's name all come across this they first they see this triangle flying in the woods then they see it land yeah and i believe uh penniston and burroughs even went right up to it and and and so it is this black triangle and then they found indentations in the thing and you had um
Lord Hill Norton, who was, you know, head of the Admiral fleet, you know, saying, you know, I think this happened. You had Colonel Halt, who was who was there, who was in charge at the time, you know, doing a formal investigation saying this happened. And so you were were you formally tasked with looking inside of this triangle UFO as a practice target?
Yeah. As a practice target. We were never officially charged in the chain of command with doing UFO targets.

Chapter 6: What was the experience of remote viewing a UFO control panel like?
Who assigned you that as a practice target? Um... I forget who it came from. It wasn't Ed, Ed Dames. He was always giving us UFO targets. Ed Dames was. Yeah. So do you think these guys. This was different. I forget who it came from.
Chapter 7: How does Lyn Buchanan describe his abduction experience?
So it's almost like there's a different line of command that's interested in the UFO.
No, there's in any organization, you have the formal organization and the informal.
So what's this informal organization that's interested in UFO stuff?
Well, it's totally unorganized, like I say. You think it's just emergent and like personal interest based? If a two-star comes by your desk and says, will you do me a favor? You're not going to say no.
Is the two-star though, like, are they getting interested because they're like, I heard this crazy thing. I want to know. Or is it more of like some sort of secret other branch?
They are all interested.
But it's pure personal interest. You don't think somebody's telling the two-star, hey, get one of your best guys to look into this?
I don't ask.
Okay. But do I suspect that they're, yeah. So you think there might be another line of command, another chain of command?

Chapter 8: What predictions does Lyn Buchanan make about the future and UFO disclosure?
They think, what is our danger to our air superiority? That's become an official thing. Hmm. And so are they going to task a remote viewer with it? Not officially. They're going to come by your desk and say, hey, would you do me a favor? So you do this guy a favor, this two-star general. And they walk out with the answer and you never hear about it again.
What was inside of this triangle craft?
Right.
It was intelligently automated. There were no beings inside of it. There was a place where samples were being preserved. And this thing was going by and finding samples of, I don't know if it was soil or plant stuff or whatever, but there was a place in there where the samples were being And then somehow the craft would seem to communicate back that it had found something.
But it was totally self-automated. There were no beings in it at all.
And any other features of the crowd, the color, the texture?
Yeah, it was sort of reddish light inside. There was a control panel, so it could be controlled by beings. And there was this small hallway that went back to a chamber where samples were being held. And that was that. Samples of... Of whatever it was it was picking up and finding because it was out searching.
It's like this automated drone sort of thing. Automated drone, yeah. And I believe Colonel John Alexander knew about Rendlesham before just about anybody else in the United States. Probably so, yeah. Was he involved in your... I guess you can't probably say or... No, John was...
Rarely. I don't think he was ever involved in our unit. Albert Stubblebine, General Stubblebine, became a really good friend. I always called him Bert. And Bert intentionally kept him out of it.
