McMoneagle, Joseph (1946-)

Joseph McMoneagle, a psychic known for his remote viewing abilities and participation in the government-sponsored research on parapsychology, was born in Miami, Florida on January 10, 1946. After high school he enter the army and soon was assigned to the Army Security Agency. After 13 years of service overseas, in 1977 he returned to the United States to work with the Intelligence and Security Command where he became a warrant officer.

In 1978 he was recruited into the secret psychic spy unit of the government program, later known as the STAR GATE Project, designed to develop an operative intelligence operation using remote viewing. He worked with the unit until his retirement in 1984. He moved to rural Virginia where he met and eventually married Nancy Lea Honeycutt, the step-daughter of Robert A. Monroe, known for his out-of-body experiences. She was the director of the Monroe Institute for Applied Sciences.

Following his retirement, McMoneagle was also hired by the Cognitive Sciences Laboratory, responsible for the research and development side of the STAR GATE Project. He worked both as a remote viewer and as a research assistant. He continues as an employee of the laboratory. McMoneagle has written two nonfiction books about remote viewing, Mind Trek (1993) and The Ultimate Time Machine (1998). In the wake of the declassification of data on the government's paranormal research in 1995, McMoneagle has made numerous media appearances discussing the subject matter.

McMoneagle and his wife Nancy have founded Intuitive Intelligence Applications, Inc., through which offers astrological consultant and remote viewing services and programs in paranormal research.
