Overview
In a recent episode of the Aubrey Marcus Podcast, retired Army remote‑viewer Lyn Buchanan—a former participant in the classified “Stargate” program—spoke at length about his experiences with psychic operations, alleged extraterrestrial installations on Earth, and what he describes as an imminent “global survival” challenge. Buchanan framed his remarks as a preparation for forthcoming disclosures on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and related paranormal research, urging listeners to consider both physical self‑sufficiency and mental development as safeguards against potential crises.
Military Background and the Stargate Program
Buchanan traced his entry into the Army’s remote‑viewing unit to an incident in Augsburg, Germany, where, according to him, an uncontrolled bout of psychokinesis allegedly destroyed $50 million worth of computer equipment. The episode attracted the attention of Maj. Gen. Albert Stubblebine, then chief of the Intelligence and Security Command, who was actively recruiting personnel with parapsychological abilities. Buchanan was subsequently trained in Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV), a protocol devised by Ingo Swann. While Presidential Executive Order 12333 restricts remote viewing of U.S. persons without explicit national‑security justification, Buchanan claims the unit operated unofficially to investigate “UFO and ET‑related targets,” a statement that remains unverified by official sources.
Reported Extraterrestrial Sites
During the interview, Buchanan identified four locations he believes serve as extraterrestrial bases:
- Mount Zeil, Australia – described as a “transit hub” or “airport.”
- Zimbabwe – characterized as a “repair facility” for alien craft.
- Mount Hayes, Alaska – presented as an intelligence‑gathering outpost.
- The Pyrenees, Spain – mentioned but not elaborated upon.
He asserted that these sites function as “reservations” where human governments have tacitly agreed to a policy of non‑interference. Buchanan further suggested a cosmic conflict between “benevolent” and “malevolent” ET factions, claiming the former wish to help humanity develop psychic abilities while the latter view such potential as a threat. No independent verification of these sites exists, and the claims are not corroborated by mainstream scientific or defense establishments.
Technological Exchange and Future Threats
Buchanan introduced the notion of a “technological trade,” wherein humans allegedly provide raw materials in exchange for advanced alien technology. He argued that some extraterrestrial races have lost creative capacity and rely on humans to innovate with their tools. The conversation also touched on alleged “natural weapons,” including a purported Russian earthquake device tested at Fukushima, and broader claims that modern warfare now incorporates weather manipulation and biological social engineering. While such assertions echo longstanding conspiracy narratives, they have not been substantiated by open‑source intelligence or peer‑reviewed research.
Recommendations and Outlook
Looking ahead, Buchanan warned of a potential demographic collapse, citing a 1998 remote‑viewing session that projected up to 75 % of the global population could be lost to “man‑made ‘natural’ disasters” by 2050. He described 2012 as a “tipping point” after which humanity’s capacity to avert this trajectory diminished. To mitigate these risks, Buchanan urged two primary actions:
- Physical self‑sufficiency – relocating from dense urban centers, securing personal food and water supplies, and
