Lyn Buchanan

Leonard "Lyn" Buchanan is the former database manager for the Stargate Project, a remote viewing project run by the Department of Defense from the 1970s to 1990s. He is the author of a book describing his experiences as a psychic spy for the American military.

Buchanan was a Sergeant in the United States Army brought into the Fort Meade remote viewing unit run by Major General Albert Stubblebine.

Skills and expertise
Buchanan came to the attention of General Stubblebine for two main reasons: his apparent natural psychic abilities and his expertise in computer software. This made him well qualified to be the database manager for the Stargate Project. From this vantage point, Lyn had the opportunity to work with all the key members of the unit, and, in possession of statistical analysis of the session data, was able to assess the accuracy of the session data obtained.

Problems, Solutions, Innovations
After leaving the forces, Buchanan founded the company Problems, Solutions, Innovations, contracted former Stargate remote viewer Mel Riley to work for his company, and continues to undertake private tuition.

Assigned witness program
Buchanan also runs the Assigned Witness Program, which endeavors to help locate missing persons, and provide a variety of not for profit services to law enforcement agencies.

Remote influencing
Buchanan is one of the few ex-military psychics willing to talk about REMOTE INFLUENCING or R.I. openly, in his book The Seventh Sense: The Secrets of Remote Viewing as Told by a "Psychic Spy" for the U.S. Military. He claims to have made Saddam Hussein so ill, he was not seen or able to give orders for a period of two weeks, and to have influenced the way Mikhail Gorbachev expressed himself about the reform of Communism.

As a civilian Buchanan undertook an R.I. test project for Dr. Mann of the Cornell Medical Center in New York, involving 12 high blood pressure patients over a period of four weeks.

In interviews, Buchanan has put forward the following general guidelines for the practise of R.I. Counter-visualisation may be an effective defensive strategy to R.I., because it creates a bi-directional mental join between the R.I. psychic and target, whereby the psychic ends up absorbing his own negative energies and thereby damaging himself.

As a result of these experiences Buchanan has warned against the use of R.I. because of the harm it can cause to those who practice it. His conclusion is that it is possible but it is not something one should aspire to perform.

Scientific Research
Joined by theoretical physicist Dr. Fred Alan Wolf, Buchanan is also a supporter of the scientific research on remote viewing done by Dr. Courtney Brown, writing that "it is very refreshing to see the subject of remote viewing treated like science instead of seance." .
