Paul H. Smith, Major, US Army (ret.), is the author of Reading the Enemy’s Mind: Inside Star Gate — America’s Psychic Espionage Program” and “The Essential Guide to Remote Viewing.” As a seven year veteran of the government’s ‘psychic espionage’ effort, Paul was originally assigned to the Army’s Center Lane remote viewing program starting in 1983 and later transitioned with the program to the Defense Intelligence Agency in early 1986. He was transferred out of the program in 1990 to participate in Desert Storm as a tactical intelligence officer with the 101st Airborne Division.
During his years with what ultimately came to be known as the Star Gate Program, Paul served concurrently as an operational remote viewer, training instructor, unit historian, recruiting officer, and security officer. Directly trained by the creators of remote viewing, Ingo Swann and Dr. Harold Puthoff of SRI-International, he was later the main author of the DIA “Coordinate Remote Viewing” manual, and was primary theory instructor for the unit, being involved in the training of other now-well-known viewers including Lyn Buchanan, Mel Riley, and David Morehouse.
Smith retired from the Army in 1996 and started a commercial remote viewing training company, Remote Viewing Instructional Services Inc. in January 1997. Based in Austin, Texas for 17 years, Paul’s company continues to train students in Cedar City, in the heart of Utah’s glorious Color Country of national parks and Ancient American culture. In 1999, he participated with Puthoff, Buchanan, Russell Targ, F. Holmes Atwater, and other researchers and remote viewing veterans to found the non-profit International Remote Viewing Association. He has served twice as IRVA’s president, and still serves on the Association’s board.
Paul has been interviewed on CBS Sunday Morning, several times on the History Channel, A&E Network, and at various times by both Art Bell and George Noory on Coast-to-Coast AM, by Jeff Rense on “Sightings,” and numerous other international, national, regional, and local media outlets.
He has a bachelors degree in Middle Eastern Studies (with minors in English and Art) from BYU, a masters in Strategic Intelligence (Mid-East emphasis) from the Defense Intelligence College, and a PhD in philosophy from the University of Texas at Austin, concentrating on philosophy mind, consciousness, philosophy of science, and philosophy of parapsychology.
