[[Don Curtis]] was a physicist at [[Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory]]. He was part of the group that investigated [[Uri Geller]]'s psychokinetic abilities. After the group ceased its research activities with Geller, Curtis and his wife experienced one of the last bizarre apparitions: a hovering, holographic, one-armed man in a gray suit with a hook for a hand. This unsettling experience prompted [[Richard Kennett]] to demand a meeting with [[Hal Puthoff]] and [[Russell Targ]] to understand the phenomena.[^1] Don Curtis is the pseudonym [[Jim Schnabel]] gave a physicist at [[Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory]] in *[[Remote Viewers]]* (1997); the *Grey Lodge Occult Review* spelled it Don Kurtis.[^2] In Schnabel's account he was part of the group that investigated [[Uri Geller]]'s psychokinetic abilities. After the group ceased its research activities with Geller, Curtis and his wife experienced one of the last bizarre apparitions: a hovering, holographic, one-armed man in a gray suit with a hook for a hand.

### CIA Career and SRI Liaison ### CIA Career and SRI Liaison
Green was working in the CIA's Life Sciences Division when physicist [[Hal Puthoff]] initiated contact with the agency regarding proposed research on anomalous mental phenomena. On June 27, 1972, Puthoff wrote to Green at the CIA outlining remote viewing as a legitimate area for scientific investigation, proposing formal experiments at SRI to assess whether the phenomena could be reproduced under controlled conditions. This letter - subsequently released under [[Freedom of Information Act|FOIA]] and housed in the [[CIA Reading Room]] - established the institutional relationship between SRI and the CIA's scientific analysis staff that would persist for more than two decades.[^1] Green was working in the CIA's Life Sciences Division when physicist [[Hal Puthoff]] initiated contact with the agency regarding proposed research on anomalous mental phenomena.

Green served as the primary CIA officer receiving and evaluating SRI's experimental results during the early years of the program, which was organized under various code names before being consolidated as the [[Stargate Project|STAR GATE]] program. In this capacity he reviewed classified experimental data, participated in briefings, and maintained the agency's formal interest in the research while keeping it within the Life Sciences Division's medical and scientific framework rather than the operational framework of the [[Directorate of Operations]].[^2] Green served as the primary CIA officer receiving and evaluating SRI's experimental results during the early years of the program, which was organized under various code names before being consolidated as the [[Stargate Project|STAR GATE]] program.

[[Jim Schnabel]] gave Green the pseudonym "Richard Kennett" in *[[Remote Viewers]]* (1997).[^11] In that account Kennett was an analyst in the Office of Scientific Intelligence, in his early thirties, married with two young sons, holding a Ph.D. in neurophysiology and pursuing an M.D.; religion and mysticism "in particular fascinated him," and he spent part of his agency time monitoring the fringes of medicine and psychology. Schnabel placed him as slated to become assistant national intelligence officer for chemical and biological warfare issues. Kennett monitored the work at SRI and later at [[Fort Meade]], tasked viewers against intelligence problems and evaluated their results. Schnabel also recorded Kennett's own anomalous experiences: a precognitive episode connected to [[Uri Geller]] involving a shattered glass globe and a white bulldog, and an encounter with a one-armed man in a gray suit.[^12]
### Uri Geller and the SRI Experiments ### Uri Geller and the SRI Experiments
Green served as the CIA's primary handler and scientific overseer during [[Uri Geller]]'s testing at SRI in 1972-1973. Geller, an [[Israel|Israeli]] entertainer claiming psychokinetic and clairvoyant abilities, underwent a series of formal laboratory tests under the direction of Puthoff and [[Russell Targ]]. Green was responsible for reviewing the experimental protocols, receiving the results, and assessing their implications for the agency. He administered or oversaw medical evaluations of Geller, including neurological and psychological assessments designed to identify physiological correlates of the claimed abilities.[^2] Green served as the CIA's primary handler and scientific overseer during [[Uri Geller]]'s testing at SRI in 1972-1973.

The accuracy of the descriptions - which included internal organizational details not publicly available - created significant concern within the NSA about whether the remote viewing program represented a security vulnerability for highly classified facilities.

The descriptions matched the nearby NSA station instead, and a security investigation followed.[^12]

### Lawrence Livermore Laboratory Investigation ### Lawrence Livermore Laboratory Investigation
After several scientists at [[Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory]] reported unusual perceptual experiences following their involvement with Geller and the broader SRI program, Green investigated the reports. His conclusion was that the experiences were most likely the result of a sophisticated psychological operation directed at the scientists - possibly by a foreign intelligence service or a domestic entity with access to the scientists' vulnerabilities - rather than genuine paranormal phenomena. The investigation was not publicly disclosed during Green's CIA tenure.[^2] After several scientists at [[Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory]] reported unusual perceptual experiences following their involvement with Geller and the broader SRI program, Green investigated the reports.

The investigation was not publicly disclosed during Green's CIA tenure.[^2]
Two accounts of the episode exist. Annie Jacobsen placed it in the winter of 1975, during sanctioned classified tests of Geller held in a former World War II barracks with an [[Atomic Energy Commission]] security officer present; after the second day [[Ron Robertson]] telephoned Green, reporting objects flying across rooms, flashing lights and a six-inch ball of light rolling down a hallway, and Green first suspected hallucination.[^2] Schnabel placed it in late 1974, after unofficial off-hours tests of Geller by a Livermore group that included Robertson; members saw monochrome flying saucers and fantastic animals in their homes and laboratories, an audiotape played back a metallic voice pronouncing the code name of a classified project unknown to the group, and the physicist he called [[Peter Crane]] telephoned Kennett. Kennett met the group, including the physicist he called [[Mike Russo]], and after [[Don Curtis]] and his wife saw a hovering one-armed man in a gray suit with a hook for a hand, demanded a meeting with Puthoff and [[Russell Targ]]. The apparitions ended after the group stopped its work with Geller.[^12]

Green contributed as a consultant and scientific advisor to the [[Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program]] (AATIP), the Pentagon's UAP research program that operated from approximately 2007 to 2012 under the direction of [[Luis Elizondo]]. His contribution included review of reported physical and physiological effects on individuals claiming proximity to anomalous aerial phenomena. He published research examining injuries reported by people claiming UAP encounters - a category he termed "exotic wounds" - applying forensic neurological analysis to the reported symptom patterns. This work represented the extension of his long-standing interest in the medical and physiological dimensions of anomalous phenomena from the SRI era into the post-AATIP period.[^3] Green contributed as a consultant and scientific advisor to the [[Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program]] (AATIP), the Pentagon's UAP research program that operated from approximately 2007 to 2012 under the direction of [[Luis Elizondo]].

summary: "Peter Crane was a physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)." summary: "Peter Crane is the pseudonym Jim Schnabel gave a Lawrence Livermore physicist who ran off-hours tests of Uri Geller in late 1974 and called the CIA's Kit Green about the apparitions that followed."
--- ---
Peter Crane was a physicist at [[Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory]] (LLNL). In late 1974, concerned about the potential security threat posed by psychic abilities, Crane, along with security officer [[Ron Robertson]] and others, began conducting their own experiments with [[Uri Geller]] outside of work hours.[^1] Peter Crane is the pseudonym [[Jim Schnabel]] gave a physicist at [[Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory]] (LLNL) in *[[Remote Viewers]]* (1997).[^2] In Schnabel's account, in late 1974, concerned about the potential security threat posed by psychic abilities, Crane, along with security officer [[Ron Robertson]] and others, began conducting their own experiments with [[Uri Geller]] outside of work hours.[^1]
Crane and his group tested Geller's psychokinetic abilities, including metal-bending and attempts to deflect laser beams. While their tests concluded that Geller's abilities were not effective over long distances, Crane was one of the Livermore personnel who experienced a series of bizarre, hallucination-inducing phenomena after their involvement with Geller. These included visions of hovering, monochrome flying saucers and strange animals.[^1] Crane and his group tested Geller's psychokinetic abilities, including metal-bending and attempts to deflect laser beams. While their tests concluded that Geller's abilities were not effective over long distances, Crane was one of the Livermore personnel who experienced a series of bizarre, hallucination-inducing phenomena after their involvement with Geller. These included visions of hovering, monochrome flying saucers and strange animals.[^1]
Overwhelmed by these experiences, Crane contacted [[Richard Kennett]] of the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] for help. Kennett investigated the situation, which included a strange metallic voice on an audiotape that pronounced the code name of a highly classified government project unknown to Crane or his colleagues. The apparitions eventually ceased after the Livermore group stopped their research activities with Geller.[^1] Overwhelmed by these experiences, Crane contacted [[Kit Green]] of the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] for help.

Loeb told *[[The Harvard Crimson]]* in July 2026 that he had previously served on the [[President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology]] under [[Donald Trump]], that the director of the [[All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office]] visited his home after taking office, and that government officials had approached him several times over the previous five years. He announced the [[UAP Science Advisory Council]] in mid-June 2026 after a representative of the [[Office of the Director of National Intelligence]] visited him at home; he told the Crimson the [[White House]] gave him a "free hand" in choosing members, that the council has no budget, and that he did not inform Harvard's president [[Alan Garber]] before agreeing to serve. He was also quoted: "I'm supporting the prosperity of the United States and the science I'm pursuing, and I'm not doing it on behalf of a political agenda."[^16] The Sol Foundation described the council in a June 22, 2026 release as announced by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence "with the support of the FBI"; Loeb wrote on June 16, 2026 that "I was tasked by the White House, the Pentagon's All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the FBI, and the Intelligence Community, to assemble" it.

The documents in the library date the chain as follows. On May 23, 2017 (EFTA01047005) Masha Drokova told Epstein that Futurism, which she described as media "in the intersection of science and futurism," was run by a founder whose LinkedIn page she linked (Klokus). On September 18, 2017 an in-person "Interview w/Futurism Editor, Alex Klokus" appears on Epstein's schedule at 1:30 p.m., prepared by his assistant [[Lesley Groff]] (EFTA02223354 and others). On October 2, 2017 (EFTA00999952) Drokova forwarded to Epstein a note from Klokus: "I was sitting with Bryan Johnson today, who was telling me about everything he's working on at Kernel ... Bryan is building a neural implant that is intended to enhance cognition." Epstein answered "always interested." At 8:39 p.m. that evening, Klokus wrote to Johnson and Drokova, in a message quoted in EFTA02227011: "Bryan is building Kernel, and today I spoke with Masha about the potential value of him and Jeffrey chatting." On October 3 Johnson wrote that he was "in town until Wednesday afternoon and have a really tight schedule but would like to meet up with Jeffery if possible" (EFTA02227025); Epstein wrote that he was "in florida until friday" (EFTA01000443), and a message signed "Lesley" asked whether a call could be coordinated instead (EFTA02225373). Groff and Kernel's executive assistant arranged a video call for Friday, October 6, 2017; Epstein told Groff to "move barry abd sarah to 4 can we do bryan at 5 instead" (EFTA00460518), Groff's schedule for the day listed "5:00pm ZOOM Interview w/Bryan Johnson and possibly Masha" (EFTA00460043), Epstein chose "zoom" over a regular call (EFTA02225564, invitation "Sync: Bryan/Jeffrey/Masha," host kernel-hi.zoom.us), and Groff asked Johnson to delay it to 5:15 p.m. because Epstein was running late (EFTA02226959). A message from Drokova quoted in EFTA02226363 reads: "I managed to free up earlier and join Jeffrey and Bryan too."

The [[Pima County, Arizona|Pima County]] record was not available for this draft. McDonald died on June 13, 1971, at the age of 51, according to the American Meteorological Society and Physics Today.[^2][^5] Battan wrote that his UFO investigation "brought him into conflict with certain scientists and engineers," that "he found few allies in this scientific quest," and that he "was a man of integrity and great courage."[^2] Neither obituary states a cause of death.
The Tucson Daily Citizen of Monday, June 14, 1971 reported under the headline "UA Physicist Found Dead In Desert" that McDonald, 51, was found dead on Sunday, June 13, in a desert area north of [[Tucson]], and that the death was "apparently a suicide, according to sheriff's deputies." According to the paper, an autopsy had been performed and no report was immediately available. It quoted Sheriff Waldon V. Burr as saying a note and a .38 revolver were found beside the body and that there was a bullet wound in the head. The paper reported that Frank Flores, of 127 E. Lee Street, said he and his children were hiking about noon on Sunday when they found the body at Canyon del Oro near Ina Road and Interstate 10, and that McDonald reportedly took a cab from a downtown motel to the area. It gave his address as 3461 E. 3rd Street, and stated that he was blinded when he shot himself in the head on April 9, according to police reports, and had begun going to his office for several hours a day only the previous week. University of Arizona president [[Richard A. Harvill]] was quoted as calling him an "exceptionally able teacher" and "well-known throughout the United States as a brilliant scholar," and Louis J. Battan, associate director of the Institute, credited him with contributions to cloud physics and weather modification research. The article also summarized his Condon Report opposition and his SST campaign, and described him as a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a statement the 1968 hearing biography does not support.[^8] The Tucson Daily Citizen of Monday, June 14, 1971 reported under the headline "UA Physicist Found Dead In Desert" that McDonald, 51, was found dead on Sunday, June 13, in a desert area north of [[Tucson]], and that the death was "apparently a suicide, according to sheriff's deputies."

Moore's closing positions, as spoken, were that a highly advanced extraterrestrial civilization is visiting Earth and "actively manipulating our awareness of their presence"; that elements of at least two government intelligence agencies know this and run classified projects; that counterintelligence personnel have conducted "an on-again off-again campaign of deception and disinformation about the UFO phenomenon for more than 40 years," including phony documents and informants, for five possible reasons, among them use of the phenomenon by "trilateralists" seeking world unity against an unknown threat from space; that a group designated MJ-12 operates at the [[White House]] [[National Security Council]] level; that there was a Project Aquarius, "possibly two of them," one in 1971 to 1973 and one in 1976 to 1985, with contract and report numbers obtained; that the Cutler-Twining memorandum was, in his view, "reasonable certainty" authentic and had been planted among the papers of Record Group 341 for them to find; that there was "no compelling reason to believe" the [[Dwight D.

In May 1973, he inadvertently provided the coordinates for a secret [[NSA]] facility near Sugar Grove, [[West Virginia]], to [[Kit Green]]. Green had asked O'Donnell for coordinates of a place on the East Coast that, if a drawing or photograph were shown later, O'Donnell would be able to confirm. O'Donnell, unaware of the true purpose, provided the precise coordinates of his summer cabin, which happened to be near the highly classified NSA site.[^1]
This incident, where [[Ingo Swann]] and [[Pat Price]] accurately described the NSA facility despite being given coordinates for O'Donnell's cabin, became known as the Sugar Grove incident. It led to a hostile security investigation, as the psychics' remote viewing data was accurate enough to suggest a massive leakage of top-secret information. O'Donnell initially dismissed the psychics' descriptions as "bullshit" because they didn't match his cabin, but later realized the true implications when Kennett discovered the secret military installation nearby.[^1] This incident, where [[Ingo Swann]] and [[Pat Price]] accurately described the NSA facility despite being given coordinates for O'Donnell's cabin, became known as the Sugar Grove incident.

Mike Russo was a physicist at [[Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory]] (LLNL) who, along with other Livermore personnel, experienced a series of bizarre, hallucination-inducing phenomena after their involvement with [[Uri Geller]]. These apparitions included hovering, monochrome flying saucers and strange animals, such as large raven-like birds.[^1] Mike Russo is the pseudonym [[Jim Schnabel]] gave a physicist at [[Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory]] (LLNL) in *[[Remote Viewers]]* (1997).[^2] In Schnabel's account he and other Livermore personnel experienced a series of bizarre, hallucination-inducing phenomena after their involvement with [[Uri Geller]]. These apparitions included hovering, monochrome flying saucers and strange animals, such as large raven-like birds.[^1]
Russo and others began to seriously question their sanity due to these experiences. He was part of the group that met with [[Richard Kennett]] of the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] to discuss the unsettling events. Russo also complained about a telephone call from a strange metallic voice that demanded the Livermore group cease its research activities with Geller, after which the apparitions faded away.[^1] Russo and others began to seriously question their sanity due to these experiences.

Despite the personality conflicts and the controversial nature of the research, Targ was a key figure in the remote viewing program. He was the co-author, with Hal Puthoff, of a number of influential papers on remote viewing, including a 1974 article in *Nature* and a 1976 article in the *Proceedings of the IEEE*. He eventually became convinced of the reality of remote viewing, even conducting his own informal experiments. He was present during many of Price's most impressive remote viewing feats, including the glider experiment where Price accurately perceived the numbers Kennett was carrying and the "ankh" around his neck, and the precognitive viewing of the Redwood City Marina and the Rinconada Park water tanks.[^1] Despite the personality conflicts and the controversial nature of the research, Targ was a key figure in the remote viewing program.

By the late 1960s, much of the [[United States]]' primary analysis of nuclear intelligence had shifted to laboratories like Livermore and [[Los Alamos]], where intelligence units dealing with the [[Soviet Union]] and [[China]] had been set up after World War II. These units began monitoring the transfer of nuclear technology and countries viewed as "nth" nations, or near-nuclear countries. Any interesting intelligence on [[Israel]] was then routed to Livermore through the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]'s Office of Science and Technology, headed by [[Carl E.

A small group, including the security officer [[Ron Robertson]] and the physicist [[Jim Schnabel]] called [[Peter Crane]], began conducting their own experiments with Geller outside of work hours.[^1]
While their tests concluded that Geller's psychokinetic abilities were not effective over long distances, and thus posed no threat to nuclear weapons, the Livermore group experienced a series of bizarre, hallucination-inducing phenomena after their involvement with Geller. These included hovering, monochrome flying saucer images, and fantastic animals appearing in their homes and labs. This culminated in a visit from [[Richard Kennett]] of the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] to investigate the strange occurrences.[^1] While their tests concluded that Geller's psychokinetic abilities were not effective over long distances, and thus posed no threat to nuclear weapons, the Livermore group experienced a series of bizarre, hallucination-inducing phenomena after their involvement with Geller.

A UFO BBS text file, an encyclopedia-style account of the Moore affair whose author is not identified in the copy consulted, states that Moore and Shandera "had given them avian names and called the sources collectively 'the birds.'"[^1] [[Mark Pilkington]] wrote in 2010 that "when researcher Bill Moore was drawn into this network by [[Richard Doty]] and his colleagues at [[Air Force Office of Special Investigations|AFOSI]], he gave them the nickname the Aviary and identified them all using bird names," and described the network as "a loose-knit group of scientists, intelligence specialists and military personnel," formed in the mid-1970s, "all fascinated by the UFO subject," which had developed a distilled version of its findings that it called "the Core Story."[^2] Boylan wrote that "a small group of individuals with extremely high security clearances" had interacted unofficially since the 1970s and "gave themselves code names, using mostly bird names," numbering "roughly a dozen."[^3] A UFO BBS text file, an encyclopedia-style account of the Moore affair whose author is not identified, states that Moore and Shandera "had given them avian names and called the sources collectively 'the birds.'"[^1] [[Mark Pilkington]] wrote in 2010 that "when researcher Bill Moore was drawn into this network by [[Richard Doty]] and his colleagues at [[Air Force Office of Special Investigations|AFOSI]], he gave them the nickname the Aviary and identified them all using bird names," and described the network as "a loose-knit group of scientists, intelligence specialists and military personnel," formed in the mid-1970s, "all fascinated by the UFO subject," which had developed a distilled version of its findings that it called "the Core Story."[^2] Boylan wrote that "a small group of individuals with extremely high security clearances" had interacted unofficially since the 1970s and "gave themselves code names, using mostly bird names," numbering "roughly a dozen."[^3]
The same account states that in September 1980, according to an account Moore gave seven years later, a caller identifying himself as being from [[Kirtland Air Force Base]] asked to meet him, that Moore and the man he would call "Falcon" met at a local restaurant, and that this "would initiate a long-running relationship" between Moore (and, beginning in 1982, Shandera) and 10 members of "a shadowy group said to be connected with military intelligence and to be opposed to the continuation of the UFO cover-up."[^1] Pilkington wrote that a Denny's restaurant "may even be where Doty and Falcon first met Bill Moore back in 1980."[^2] The same account states that in September 1980, according to an account Moore gave seven years later, a caller identifying himself as being from [[Kirtland Air Force Base]] asked to meet him, that Moore and the man he would call "Falcon" met at a local restaurant, and that this "would initiate a long-running relationship" between Moore (and, beginning in 1982, Shandera) and 10 members of "a shadowy group said to be connected with military intelligence and to be opposed to the continuation of the UFO cover-up."[^1] Pilkington wrote that a Denny's restaurant "may even be where Doty and Falcon first met Bill Moore back in 1980."[^2]

On April 7, 2020, the State Department designated RIM, Vorobyev, Gariev, and Trushchalov as SDGTs under Executive Order 13224. This was the first white supremacist terrorist designation in U.S. history. Counterterrorism Coordinator [[Ambassador Nathan Sales]] explained at a press briefing that the designation was grounded in RIM providing training "for acts of terrorism" specifically through Partizan, citing the Gothenburg bombings as the documented case. The designation triggers asset-blocking and transactional prohibitions under U.S. law for anyone who deals with these individuals or the organization.[^1] On April 7, 2020, the State Department designated RIM, Vorobyev, Gariev, and Trushchalov as SDGTs under Executive Order 13224.

The [[United Kingdom]] proscribed RIM as a terrorist organization in 2025, following a multi-year debate in which parliamentary questions in the Commons had raised the matter. [[Searchlight Magazine]] reported on the UK Home Office proscription order, which extended to RIM the same legal framework applied to other proscribed organizations under the [[Terrorism Act 2000]].
