Former CIA agent reveals 'evidence' he claims proves there was life on Mars

A man who used to work as a 'remote viewer' for the CIA has opened up about observations which he believes are proof of life on Mars.

Joe McMoneagle, who had the catchy nickname of the CIA’s Remote Viewer No. 1, has spoken out about his experiences working for the CIA after the government agency first began research into psychic events and paranormal phenomena in the early 1970s.

In collaboration with the Stanford Research Institute, now known as SRI International, the CIA looked into 'remote viewing' - an apparent skill that involves using the mind to 'see' or control objects, people or events even if they are distant or out of physical view.

The program was top secret, but now McMoneagle has spoken out in an interview on the American Alchemy podcast in which he recalled being handed coordinates for him to try and 'see' using his mind.

McMoneagle, who is also former US Army Chief Warrant Officer, described seeing a huge pyramid-like structure which contained 'monster rooms'.

He remembered seeing tall beings, and said he saw a violent storm raging. He speculated inhabitants were using the pyramids for shelter.

He said: "I started getting an image of human beings that were trapped in a place where the atmosphere was turning bad [...] It [was] obvious these people were dying for some reason, but they were humans [...] They were twice our size."

Though he saw a lot, McMoneagle admitted on the podcast that he was angry when he learned he was targeting Mars because he originally thought he was observing Earth.

When he got chance to see where the coordinates he'd been given were taking him, he saw the card read: "Mars. One million BC."

"I hate doing a target where I cannot prove ground truth because then I don't know if it's real or I'm inventing it," he said. "I can't actually sit there and say this is exactly 100 percent correct."

Based on what he saw, the agent suspected that Mars had its atmosphere stripped when something 'passed through our solar system', resulting in the deaths of its inhabitants.

Later, when McMoneagle later asked authorities to obtain more recent images of the targets he'd been asked to view, he claimed he found proof of what he'd seen in his mind. In the photos, he said he saw a pyramid-shaped structure on the edge of a giant impact crater.

Suggesting the pyramid must have been manmade, he claimed: 'If it was there [before], it would have been blown away."
