Shared Researchers

Scientists active in both consciousness research and UAP investigation

Christopher "Kit" Green, MD, PhD, is an American physician and former CIA officer with dual expertise in forensic medicine and neuroimaging. As the Agency's primary analyst for anomalous phenomena and UAP-related intelligence during the Cold War he occupied a unique position at the intersection of intelligence, science and medicine. He later became a professor of forensic neuroimaging at Wayne State University School of Medicine. - CIA primary analyst for anomalous phenomena and UAP-related intelligence - Dual expertise in forensic medicine and neuroimaging - Professor of forensic neuroimaging at Wayne State University School of Medicine - Analysed reports of UAP encounters experienced by government personnel, with a focus on physiological effects - Linked to the informal "Invisible College" of scientists interested in UAP research within government and academic institutions - Involved in the AAWSAP/BAASS programme and contributed to research on directed-energy effects on humans - Work later intersected with Havana Syndrome investigations Green's unique position combines intelligence-grade UAP assessment with medical and neuroimaging expertise, making him a key figure for the health dimension of human UAP encounters.

Colm A. Kelleher is an Irish-American biochemist specialising in cell and molecular biology who earned his Ph.D. from Trinity College Dublin in 1983 — and has been, since the mid-1990s, one of the operationally most important investigators in American UAP research. He served as Deputy Administrator and project manager at the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDSci, 1995–2004) and led the investigations at Utah's Skinwalker Ranch from 1996 onwards. In 2008 he also took over day-to-day operations of the Pentagon-funded AAWSAP program. - Ph.D. in biochemistry from Trinity College Dublin (1983), focus on cell and molecular biology - Deputy Administrator and project manager at NIDSci (Bigelow's institute) from 1995 to 2004 - Led the scientific investigations at Skinwalker Ranch from 1996 - Day-to-day operations of AAWSAP (DIA-funded, $22 million over 27 months, 50 full-time staff) - AAWSAP as direct predecessor of AATIP, the UAP Task Force and AARO - Co-author of *Hunt for the Skinwalker* (with George Knapp and James T. Lacatski) - Co-author of *Skinwalkers at the Pentagon* — insider account of the AAWSAP program Kelleher embodies the operational continuity between privately funded and government-funded UAP research: at Bigelow's institute, at Skinwalker Ranch and inside the Pentagon program he sat each time at the interface between science and field investigation. His two books are the most important inside perspectives on AAWSAP and make him an indispensable witness of the institutional history of modern UAP research.

Jacques Fabrice Vallée (born 24 September 1939 in Pontoise, France) is a French-American astronomer, computer scientist and venture capitalist — and one of the most influential minds in the scientific study of UAP. After starting his career at the Paris Observatory he moved to the United States, where he contributed to early computing (ARPANET, SRI International under Douglas Engelbart) and, in 1963, to the first computerized map of Mars for NASA. In parallel he began investigating UFO reports systematically and evolved from an initially extraterrestrial reading into his influential interdimensional hypothesis. - Bachelor's in mathematics from the Sorbonne, master's in astrophysics from Lille University, Ph.D. in computer science from Northwestern University (1967) - Co-developed the first computerized map of Mars for NASA (1963) and contributed to ARPANET — direct precursor of the modern Internet - Shifted from an extraterrestrial to an interdimensional framework linking modern UAP reports with historical folklore and religious experiences - Inspiration for the character Claude Lacombe (played by François Truffaut) in Spielberg's *Close Encounters of the Third Kind* (1977) - Author of more than two dozen books including *Passport to Magonia* (1969), *The Invisible College* (1975) and *Dimensions* (1988) - Multi-volume journal series *Forbidden Science* - Still active as a member of the Sol Foundation's advisory board Vallée is the intellectual bridge-builder between mainstream science and UAP research: he combines a top-tier computing biography with a theory that lifts the phenomenon out of the simple "visitors from space" narrative and places it in a much wider cultural-historical frame. This double authority — NASA/ARPANET on one side, UFO classics like *Passport to Magonia* on the other — makes him a central reference point in the timeline beyond the narrow ET hypothesis.

Joseph McMoneagle (born 10 January 1946 in Miami, Florida) is a former soldier of the U.S. Army and, as Remote Viewer #001, the central founding figure of the military Star Gate program (1978–1984) — a classified intelligence project to research psychic abilities for espionage, initially run under SRI leadership and later at the military site of Fort Meade. After the program was declassified in 1995 he became the most important public representative of the American remote-viewing tradition and linked it to UAP topics. - Born 10 January 1946 in Miami, Florida - Former soldier of the U.S. Army - Recruited as Remote Viewer #001 into the Star Gate program after trials with Russell Targ and Hal Puthoff - Program at SRI and later at the military site of Fort Meade (1978–1984) - 1965 UFO sighting in the Bahamas; 1984 remote-viewing session on ancient Mars (circa 1 million BCE) describing pyramids, giants and catastrophe - Author of *Mind Trek* (1993) and *The Ultimate Time Machine* (1998); founder of Intuitive Intelligence Applications, Inc. - Cooperation with Robert Monroe's institute; media appearances and remote-viewing demonstrations after the 1995 declassification For the UAP timeline, McMoneagle is the hinge figure between military intelligence practice and parapsychological research — a connection that resurfaces in later programs such as AAWSAP and in Jake Barber's "psionics" claims. His case shows that psychic espionage in the United States was never purely academic but operationally practised — and that UAP sighting and remote viewing can coincide in one and the same person.

Institutions working across both domains

SRI International, founded in 1946 as Stanford Research Institute by Stanford University trustees in Menlo Park, California, USA, is an independent nonprofit research institute (civilian/academic type) that separated from the university in 1970 and adopted its current name in 1977. Its Psi Research Program, focused on parapsychology, operated from 1972 to 1991, investigating phenomena like remote viewing and psychokinesis. Key activities included experiments with Uri Geller on metal bending and psychic abilities, published in journals such as Nature (1974) and Proceedings of the IEEE (1976), attracting sponsorship from NASA (via Jet Propulsion Laboratory) and the CIA. These studies fed into classified U.S. government programs, with the program transferring to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) in 1991 as part of the Stargate Project, a remote viewing initiative declassified in 1995. Notable achievements encompass early scientific publications on psi phenomena, though later criticized for methodological flaws including poor target selection, viewing protocols, and judging standards, leading to widespread scientific discreditation. No direct UAP/UFO research is documented, but remote viewing overlaps with anomalous cognition relevant to such fields. The program ended in 1991; SRI International continues broad R&D in technology, AI, and defense for government and commercial clients, employing about 1,500-2,100 staff as of recent records.
