Worked with the INSCOM/DIA remote viewing program at Fort Meade.
Founded PSI-TECH in 1989.
Dames joined the Army in 1967 as a paratrooper.
A year later, he was transferred to the Army Security Agency, assigned to support the National Security Agency in the far east.
In 1974 he enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley, double majoring in Bioelectronics and Chinese.
In 1978, he graduated from UC’s ROTC program and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in Military Intelligence.
“He was recruited by a scientific and technical military intelligence ‘black unit’, ultimately to direct clandestine operations against high-value foreign targets.
He remained in deep cover, travelling worldwide under assumed identities.”
“For his work, Mr. Dames was awarded two Army Meritorious Service Medals and the Legion of Merit.
Additionally, he was personally credited by the Defense Intelligence Agency with penetrating the Soviet Defense Council that in agency’s words, ‘a singularly profound act.'”
“Major Dames retired from the U.S. Army, taking the original team’s best and brightest with him to form his Beverly Hills, California based company, PSI TECH.”
“Ed’s personal interests include human potential, natural history, martial arts and physical fitness.
He is fluent in Chinese Mandarin.”
(“Major Edward Dames – Background Information”)
“Major Dames had been both an electronic warfare officer and scientific and technical intelligence officer, from 1981-83.”
During this time, Dames claims to have been trained, along with five others, by Ingo Swann in 1983.
After completion of this training, Dames claims to be the operations and training officer for the Army’s (INSCOM) and DIA’s remote-viewing program starting around late 1983 under CENTER LANE.
“Dames took a ‘let’s see what this baby can do’ approach, replacing the unit’s former intelligence collection methodology with the breakthrough technique.”
(“Ed Dames Sets the Record Straight”)
After leaving the remote-viewing unit in late summer, 1988, Dames worked for an INSCOM “strategic deceptions” and anti-narc squad called Team Six.
(Schnabel, Jim, Remote Viewers: The Secret History of America’s Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg. 376)
According to remote viewer Joe McMoneagle, Dames has exaggerated about his involvement with the government program.
According to McMoneagle:
“There were seven (7) commanders of the unit from 1977-1995, none of them were named Dames.”
“Dames was a ‘monitor/interviewer’ of remote viewers, not a remote viewer.”
[Dames has viewed himself since leaving the military – Doc]
Dames entered the program after 1984 and left in 1987
[By most reports, Dames left in the summer of 1988 – Doc]
“Dames had no connection with the research portion of the project at any time and knows nothing about it.”
I should note that I have never seen Dames claim to be either a commander of the unit, nor a remote viewer himself prior to leaving the military.
(McMoneagle, Joe, “A Response to Ed Dame’s Statement on CRV”)
Dames responds to these charges in “Will the Real Lyn Buchanan Please Sit Down”.
He also claims that,
“Only the operations officer (i.e., me) and the commander had the complete picture”,
while the viewers were only given information on a “need to know” basis.
In an interview with Debby Stark, Dames describes something called the “Big Event”, which was reportedly supposed to happen back in August 1993.
Dames is also reported to have said that he would leave the UFO business if he was wrong.
From what I can tell, Dames believes that aliens run things on this planet, and the Big Event is when they start to make their presence known.
150 million years ago, Martians living on Mars experienced a cataclysm, and lived in pyramid/hibernation chambers until the food began to run out.
Rescue ships came from the Federation and evacuated the planet.
Some moved to Earth, while others stayed on Mars, encased in a life-preserving group, horribly mutated after 150 million years.
Martians on Earth are unable to reproduce due to the high gravity, but with the help of the Federation they plan to create hybrids with humans to rescue their ancestors still on Mars.
According to Dames, the Taos hum is the result of alien electromagnetic devices that time-travelers use as a beacon (time-travelling UFOs are mining potassium and look like green fireballs).
Also, he claims that the UFOs at Area 51 are man-made.
(Stark, Debby, “Talking to Ed Dames”, NM MUFON News, June/July 1993)
“‘I have been involved in a lot of very, very deep, dark black projects.’
‘I have never been assigned to a unit that has suffered more ostracism, been looked upon with more fear.’
In the late ’70s, he admits, the unit was ‘associated with the occult.
It gave the unit a bad name.'”
(Constantine, Alex, “Ed Dames & His Cover Stories for Mind Control Experimentation”)
“Unfortunately, I was Courtney [Brown]‘s trainer, but I had to have my name expunged from the book [Cosmic Voyages] because Prof.
Brown went beyond the pale of our tried and tested techniques, into the world of channeling.”

Ed Dames in a Psi-Tech online chat, 1997
In the documentary “Psi-Files: The Real X-Files”, written and narrated by Jim Schnabel, Dames claims to have been Ingo Swann’s protégé, and Swann his mentor.
There is some contention over when Dames was involved with the program.
Dames claims that he was previously involved as a “customer” for the viewing data, officially joined in 1983, and left in 1989.
Joe McMoneagle places him with the unit from after 1984 until 1987.
Jim Schnabel reports in Remote Viewers that Dames joined Ingo Swann’s training program in 1983, and left the unit in late summer, 1988.
ED DAMES CHALLENGES GOVERNMENT ON REMOTE VIEWING
[CNI News thanks Density4 for sending the following statement from Ed Dames.
Though not repeated here, previous public statements of Mr. Dames have included allegations that he and his associates at PsiTech Corporation, a company offering remote viewing services to private clients, have successfully employed remote viewing to determine the location and activities of aliens on the earth.]
In May 1996, Dames predicted several environmental disasters that he and PSI TECH remote viewed.
These include heavy winds, a form of bovine AIDS transmitted to children.

Referring to the failure of psychotronics on the Art Bell Show, Dames said:
“What can be done however, is by pure use of electronics, you can affect the human nervous system, and you can do certain things with the human brain waves, and uh, if you’d like me to get into that kind of technology, I can, I can talk about that.”
Art Bell
“Alright.
Well, when you say, ‘affect brain waves,’ do you mean general patterns of thinking, or you can induce a specific idea into a brain that would not otherwise think of it itself?”
Ed Dames
“Hypothetically, both.”
Dames places the date of the extreme wind changes at 4 1/2 to 6 years (2001 to mid-2002)
Dames claims to be a member of the UFO Working Group described in Harold Blum‘s book Out There.
According to Dames, the cover title of the group was “the Advanced Theoretical Physics Working Group“
According to Dames, many of the UFO sightings, including those at Area 51, are advanced man-made aircraft.
