A declassified CIA report has surfaced documenting a psychic spy who traveled to ancient Mars in 1984, saw a pyramid and a doomed city, and his description matches another remote viewer’s vision decades later. Bored Panda’s report, titled “Declassified CIA Report Reveals A Psychic Went To Mars A Million Years Ago And Saw A City Getting Destroyed,” offers a strange account of a civilization that vanished millions of years ago.
The document focuses on Joe McMoneagle, a former US Army intelligence officer, who took part in a CIA-run remote-viewing program that stirred controversy. McMoneagle is said to have been the most gifted practitioner, able to correctly identify a new kind of submarine being constructed at a Soviet secret installation in 1979.
The 1984 Experiment
The 1984 test involved McMoneagle being handed an envelope with the details inside it: “The Planet Mars. Time of interest approximately one million BC.”. The instructions directed him to concentrate on the coordinates “40.89 degrees north, 9.55 degrees west,” though he remained unaware that those coordinates referred to Mars.
Following the instructions, he “visited” Cydonia Mensae, the famous “Face on Mars” site. The report reveals that he saw an oblique view of a pyramid or pyramid-like form that was very high and yellowish, okra-colored. He also saw carved canyons and obelisk-like structures.
McMoneagle claimed to witness the alien race’s demise. “I’m seeing… it’s like a perception of a shadow of people, very tall… thin. It’s only a shadow. It’s as if they were there and they’re not, not there anymore,” he stated. His descriptions of dust storms and atmospheric breakdowns suggested the Martians might have been preparing to move to another world to survive.
Brady’s Vision
A man named Brady has drawn attention for his practice of astral projection, which involves sending his consciousness elsewhere. In one of his visions, he described a civilized Mars from many years ago. What made the vision more startling was his claim that this civilization met its end due to an apocalyptic blue wave.
“Everyone suddenly panicked; most looked up, others ran. There were screams and panic echoing off the side of buildings; I stared up and pierced my eyes through the bright daylight, and there was a celestial body hurling towards the planet. It was circular in shape, profoundly large; I felt a sigh of desperation and acceptance of fate,” he told the Daily Mail.
Brady recalled that this giant wave swept the whole civilization away. He is not the only one who “saw” similar events on the red planet.
Courtney Brown’s Details
An associate professor of political science at Emory University named Courtney Brown has run several experiments involving remote viewers who examine the surface of Mars. He has also put out books about his own vision, among them “Cosmic Voyage” and “Cosmic Explorers.”.
Brown claimed that the ancient Martians had “prominent eyes and delicate bone structure.” He noted that at its peak, Martian society compared technologically to that of ancient Egypt. “They were people who lived under harsh conditions. But they could feed their families, live in towns, and participate in community life. Martian society experienced some major catastrophe,” he said.
Brown stressed the apocalypse, yet he held that a few Martians endured elsewhere within the solar system.
The Similarities Between Brady and McMoneagle
The most striking feature of the story is the overlap between Brady and McMoneagle’s accounts. Both described tall, thin inhabitants with pale, white, bluish skin. Brady’s description of the city before its fall resembled Dubai, with an atmosphere and environment that looked like England on a summer’s day.
The people Brady saw were “really slim, with pale, white, bluish skin tone,” he continued. “Where I was, it was bustling, vibrant, and active with people everywhere. Everyone was around six to seven feet tall.”
The details provided in common raise a question left unaddressed by the report: were Brady and McMoneagle seeing the same thing, or did they each come to similar images through some shared means?
What We Know About Ancient Mars
For many years, ancient Mars has held the attention of researchers. Studies indicate that rivers, lakes, and seas were present on the planet billions of years ago. Alberto Fairen, an astrobiologist with ties to both the Center of Astrobiology in Spain and Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, offers a perspective on these findings, “The surface of Mars today is extremely dry, but there are lots of clues pointing to a much wetter past.”.
Continuing, he said, “Evidence for past water may be the clue to follow to find extinct life on Mars, and if some of that water still persists on Mars today, then for sure the prospects to find extant life go up.”
Theories about a vanished ancient civilization on Mars keep multiplying, despite the fact that no proof has ever turned up to back them up.
Comparing the Two Accounts
| Witness | Year | Location | Key Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| McMoneagle | 1984 | Cydonia Mensae | Pyramid, carved canyons, obelisk-like structures |
| Brady | Recent | Ancient Mars | Blue wave, apocalypse, tall, thin inhabitants |
A civilization that met its end through violence was witnessed by both narrators. Each described a world that had once been teeming with life and now had vanished. The parallels between their accounts are strong enough to prompt questions, even as the answers continue to elude them.
What We Make Of It
This document makes a strange case for an ancient civilization on Mars that disappeared millions of years ago. The witnesses describe what they saw with great detail, yet the report offers nothing to confirm their accounts independently.
The correct identification of the submarine by the CIA’s remote-viewing program produced tangible results, as evidenced by McMoneagle’ in 1979 stands as a confirmed result. Whether similar accuracy carried over to Mars remains an open question.
While the report presents itself as a straightforward account of fact, it fails to explain how its findings were reached. As a result, readers must rely solely on the witnesses’ own descriptions to determine whether they can be trusted.
More questions come up than answers are given in this tale. The blue wave that laid waste to Brady’s city remains unexplained. The Martians’ plans to move to another world are left unclear. And the question of whether the ancient civilization truly existed, or was instead a shared vision, is never settled.
One thing is clear: ancient Mars continues to capture the imagination. From Brady’s astral projections to McMoneagle’s remote viewing, the stories keep coming.
We have barely begun to explore the vast mysteries of the universe, and this report serves as a reminder of that fact. Our own solar system still holds many secrets that remain unknown to us. While the tales of Brady and McMoneagle can be treated as mere fables, they have not been erased from memory.
The document closes by asking readers what they think. It wonders whether Mars holds the same allure for others, and whether a past society once existed there. Neither question is answered within the text. Instead, the report suggests the answers already lie within the questions themselves.
