Thanks to The Thin Man, I rediscovered Jim Schnabel’s charmingly bizarre documentary, The Real X-Files. Originally broadcast by Channel 4 in August 1995, the film investigates the U.S. military’s Cold War research into extrasensory perception as a tool of espionage. By turns intriguing and hilarious – part pure bonkersdom, part genuine puzzle – the film can be viewed in full below. Be sure to keep an eye out for Sergeant Mel Riley and his impressive feathered headgear.
First, here’s a short preview:
Remote viewing. “Disrupt individuals.” Ingo’s target. Reading name tags.
“Like Kryptonite.” Random numbers. Volcanoes and atom bombs. “Undesirables.”
Stubblebine and spoon bending. “Psychic blowjobs.” Chasing ETs. Tuning in.
Jim Schnabel is the author of Remote Viewers: The Secret History of America’s Psychic Spies.
More on SRI’s “remote viewing” project can be found here.
