Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Remote viewing is at least 10% accurate.
The finding
What the evidence shows
The government's own review of the CIA and military remote viewing program found the psychics were accurate about 15 percent of the time, so a floor of 10 percent lines up with that number. But this framing leaves out the full picture, that same review and the CIA's final conclusion found no case where remote viewing ever produced usable intelligence, and the program was shut down as scientifically unproven.
