Paging Dr. Indiana Jones.
The CIA claimed to have confirmed the existence of the Ark of the Covenant by way of remote viewing — aka extra sensory perception or ESP — alleging the mysterious and sacred object is guarded by “entities” with an “unknown” power, a recently resurfaced declassified document claims.
In a remote viewing session on Dec. 5, 1988, remote viewer #32 was tasked with identifying a target that, unbeknownst to them, ended up being the storied Ark of the Covenant, according to document, which was declassified on Aug. 8, 2000, and has been circulating on social media.
Logistically, when a remote viewer is tasked with searching for a target, the desired object is written down on a piece of paper and put into an envelope. The remote viewer does not know what is written and is guided through the process by another person, retired US Army Chief Warrant Joe McMoneagle explained.
“Information collected under this protocol is the only information that can be identified as remote viewing,” McMoneagle said.
McMoneagle, aka remote viewer #1, was the first to do the psychic phenomena experiments for the CIA — and he is not convinced by the exercise memorialized in the declassified document.
Remote viewer #32’s vision described a secret Middle Eastern location of the object — which they don’t know is the Ark — but they say is “protected by entities,” the document reveals.
“Target is a container. This container has another container inside of it. The target is fashioned of wood, gold and silver… similar in shape to a coffin and is decorated with seraphim,” they relayed, per the file.

“Visuals of surrounding buildings indicated the presence of Mosque domes,” they said, adding that Arabic-speaking men, dressed in all white, populated the area.
“The target is hidden — underground, dark and wet were all aspects of the location of the target,” they continued.
“The purpose of the target is to bring a people together. It has something to do with ceremony, memory, homage, the resurrection. There is an aspect of spirituality, information, lessons and the historical knowledge far beyond what we now know.”
Remote viewer #32 then expounded on the more mysterious aspects of what they saw.

“The target is protected by entities and can only be opened by those who are authorized to do so — this container will not/cannot be opened until the time is deemed correct. Once it is time to open the container — the mechanics of the lock system will be found to be fairly simple,” they said before adding a warning to potential plunderers.
“Individuals opening the container by prying or striking are destroyed by the container’s protectors through the use of a power unknown to us.”
The channeler also described what they took to be a devotional aspect of the object.
“The purpose of the target is to bring people together. It has something to do with ceremony, memory, homage, the resurrection. There is an aspect of spirituality, information, lessons and historical knowledge far beyond what we now know,” they said.
The declassified document also included several pages of drawings that depict one of the four seraphim that stand out on the corners of the Ark, as well as a drawing of mummies lined up on a wall.

Legendary remote viewer #1 Joe McGoneagle does not believe that this remote viewing is worth the paper it’s written on.
“Using remote viewing against any target for which ground truth does not exist or is impossible to obtain, such as UFOs, UAPs, the surface of Mars, or the locations of historical relics, is a waste of time and resources,” McGoneagle told The Post.
“If someone claims that remote viewing proves the existence of something, such as the Ark of the Covenant, they must produce the Ark to substantiate their claim.”
The world’s foremost expert on the matter gave further context for the exercise recorded by the CIA in 1988.
“In this case, it is a training target done on a whim,” he said, adding, “I would challenge the entire practice session as bogus. No one attempted to ascertain the ground truth of the material, and everything said was accepted on its unknown and unverified merit.”
McMoneagle famously received the Legion of Merit for using remote viewing to identify a secret Russian warship that was being developed in a landlocked building during the Cold War.
“Currently, the Ark of the Covenant is a legendary tale. If they can produce the actual Ark based on the information, it will be a surprise to me, as well as to many others,” McMongeale stated to The Post.
The Ark of the Covenant is said to have held the Ten Commandments brought down by Moses from Mount Sinai.
