Investigative Assessments

"The reported claim remains worth testing against the record: A remote viewer described geological features and ancient inhabitants of Mars from approximately one million years ago. The strongest documented reasons to keep the file open are: Mars Exploration Remote-Viewing Transcript, May 22, 1984: A controlled session used a sealed envelope, coordinates, and a target card naming Mars approximately one million years BCE. Key unresolved lead: Why were these coordinates selected for testing?"
"Evidentiary limitations: low Note that: Mars Exploration Remote-Viewing Transcript, May 22, 1984 fails to support: The transcript contains subjective verbal impressions. It supplies no physical evidence, independent target validation, or proof of ancient Martian structures or inhabitants."
