Farsight and the Remote Viewing Revival

Overview

Farsight is a private group that produces remote viewing projects led by Courtney Brown. Their videos show teams of trained viewers working “blind” targets and later revealing the topic on screen. Episodes explore historical mysteries, modern events, and nonhuman intelligence claims. Supporters see it as a living lab for human perception. Critics view it as entertainment because raw data, preregistration, and independent judging are not consistently public. Treat all results as alleged.

What Remote Viewing Is

Remote viewing is the claimed ability to perceive information about distant or hidden targets using structured protocols. It emerged from Cold War experiments and later US military programs. Government reviewers eventually concluded it was not reliable for operational intelligence. The topic remains culturally influential and controversial.

Who Is Behind Farsight

Farsight was founded by Courtney Brown, a social scientist who presents RV as learnable through training derived from early government protocols. The team releases long-form videos on a subscription platform and a public channel. Each production typically combines multiple viewers’ sketches, descriptors, and session summaries.

What Farsight Publishes

• Historical and archaeological targets
  Stone circles, ancient monuments, lost civilizations, religious artifacts.
• Space and planetary storylines
  Venus “before it died,” Mars installations, moons as engineered sites.
• Modern mysteries and events
  UFO crash claims, unusual incidents, and occasionally predictions.
• Entity-focused sessions
  Sessions that reference nonhuman or transpersonal intelligences.

Reported Method

• Viewers work blind. They are not told the target beforehand.
• A tasker creates a cue for the target and assigns an arbitrary number.
• Multiple viewers submit independent session pages with sketches and sensory data.
• A producer later reveals and interprets the target in a video narrative.

Methodological gaps raised by critics

• Limited public preregistration of targets and timelines
• Infrequent open releases of full raw session pages and tasking language
• Lack of third-party judging with decoy targets and transparent scoring
• Limited independent replication by unaffiliated teams

The Record and the Controversies

Farsight has produced a large catalog and a loyal audience. It also carries baggage from the 1990s comet era, when a “companion object” claim associated with Courtney Brown drew sharp pushback from astronomers. For many skeptics, that episode remains a cautionary tale about verification and hype. For supporters, it underscores why better protocols and transparency matter.

How To Watch This Responsibly

If you spotlight Farsight content, frame it as experimental media and invite healthy skepticism. Ask for:

1. public preregistration of targets and dates
2. independent, blinded target pools
3. release of full raw session pages
4. third-party judging against decoy targets
5. error analysis, hit rates, and long-run stats
6. replication by outside teams

These steps would make the strongest case that something real is happening beyond good storytelling.

Why People Care

• It keeps a door open to the idea that human perception might have nonlocal aspects.
• It offers an imaginative lens on mysteries that traditional tools cannot easily probe.
• It satisfies a cultural appetite for frontier knowledge while giving fans a format to follow.

The Galactic Mind Take

Farsight sits at the edge where research, art, and belief overlap. The productions are ambitious and often visually compelling. Without transparent data and independent adjudication, results belong in the alleged bucket, not the evidence bucket. Worth watching, worth testing, and worth holding to higher standards.

What If

What if a weak, real signal exists that only shows up in group statistics across many pre-registered trials rather than single sessions?

A large open RV tournament, with shared target pools, public preregistration, raw data drops, and third-party judging, could shift this conversation from debate to measurement.

Notes for Readers

• Remote viewing claims are unverified.
• Treat every session as exploratory.
• If you try RV, document your own sessions with time stamps, blind tasking, and decoys.
