Gauvin worked at Arlington Hall, home to some of the more 'James Bond-ish' elements of the U.S. | Rhode Island |
Fernand Gauvin was a civilian counterintelligence specialist from Rhode Island and an early member of the STARGATE PROJECT (later STARGATE PROJECT) remote viewing unit. He was among the initial group of ten or eleven candidates selected by Frederick Atwater and Murray Watt. Gauvin had a long history of psychic experiences and transcendental yearnings, going back to his childhood. He practiced yoga and meditation, experimented with altered states, and read books about spirit-mediums and auras. In 1975, he had an unusual out-of-body-type experience, an encounter with a benevolent, luminous, loving entity.1
Gauvin worked at Arlington Hall, home to some of the more "James Bond-ish" elements of the U.S. espionage community. He was among the six most promising members sent to Stanford Research Institute for two weeks of outbound remote-viewing experiments. He was present during the intense and monotonous remote viewing taskings related to the Iran hostage crisis (1979-1981). After the failed hostage rescue mission in April 1980, he left the unit, vowing never to remote-view again, highlighting the psychological toll of the relentless remote viewing operations.1
