Daz Smith
Remote viewer · Mentor · Project manager · Author and publisher
I’m Daz Smith, a professional remote viewer based in Bath, UK. I began remote viewing in 1997, and it has become a central part of my working life: exploring targets, managing team investigations, mentoring students and sharing what I learn.
My work includes nine years with CryptoViewing, now Future Forecasters Group, managing Down The Rabbit Hole projects, curating and running the Hellfire Remote Viewing Club, and developing FLOW and AFTERBURN mentoring. I also publish and edit Eight Martinis, a magazine dedicated to the art and practice of remote viewing.
What keeps me interested is the work itself: sitting down with an unknown target, recording those first impressions, and seeing what the session reveals when feedback becomes available. There is always more to learn.
My current work
Future Forecasters Group — nine years of professional remote viewing
For the past nine years, I have worked with the team originally known as CryptoViewing, now Future Forecasters Group (FFG).
As a remote viewer, I contribute to projects exploring cryptocurrencies, emerging technologies, world events and potential future developments. This has been a substantial, sustained part of my professional practice, working alongside experienced viewers on an ongoing programme of targets.
That experience continues to inform my approach to remote viewing: how I record information, communicate it clearly, and assess it as events unfold and feedback becomes available.

Down The Rabbit Hole — managing investigations
I manage Down The Rabbit Hole, where a team of remote viewers works independently and blind on investigations into historical events, unexplained phenomena and other challenging questions.
My role includes developing tasking, reviewing sessions, identifying areas for further exploration and guiding the work through retasking. I also present updates and debriefs so subscribers can follow the investigation as it develops.
The projects bring together session sketches, written impressions and comparisons across viewers. Where a target includes unknown or disputed elements, those descriptions remain exploratory data; agreement between viewers does not, by itself, establish that an interpretation is correct.
Hellfire Remote Viewing Club — investigating the unexplained
I curate and run the Hellfire Remote Viewing Club, a hand-picked group of remote viewers exploring hidden history, unusual events and some of the stranger questions about our world.
Our published projects range from Puma Punku and the Varna Man to the New Jersey drone reports, the Betz Sphere, Havana Syndrome and the Tic Tac UAP encounters. That variety reflects the curiosity behind Hellfire and our willingness to investigate challenging subjects.
We share project videos alongside the raw remote viewing sessions, allowing you to examine the words and sketches for yourself. The material offers possible leads and additional perspectives for investigation. We do not present it as a definitive answer or assume that every impression is accurate.

FLOW — personal remote viewing mentoring
FLOW is my contemporary development of Ingo Swann’s Controlled Remote Viewing approach, shaped by decades of practice and my experience of helping others learn.
I believe good mentoring should help you discover how you work as a viewer. FLOW combines a structured method with creativity, adaptability and individual expression. Sketching, ideograms, regular practice and detailed feedback are central to the process.
Through long-term mentoring, group conversations and a supportive student community, I help viewers build confidence, recognise their habits and develop greater independence in their work.
AFTERBURN — developing operational practice
AFTERBURN is advanced mentoring for viewers ready to take on more demanding, client-style projects.
Across ten projects, I act as project manager and mock client, setting specific requirements and asking you to develop your information through repeated visits and retasking. You work with tools such as detailed sketches, timelines and mind maps, learning how to investigate uncertainties and present useful summaries.
The aim is to build experience in responding to a client’s questions, supported by a portfolio showing how you approached each project and developed the work.
Recent projects and experiments
Revisiting Ingo Swann’s Moon target
A DTRH investigation revisiting the lunar coordinates associated with Swann’s account in *Penetration*, exploring the historical target and a present-day tasking. Independent sessions provide material for comparison and further questions.
Pat Price’s reported locations
Through DTRH’s Project 8200, the team explored Mount Hayes and Mount Perdido, revisiting locations associated with Pat Price’s accounts across different time periods.
Can AI remote view?
My recent experiments examine claims that AI can perform remote viewing. By presenting blind targets and then comparing the generated descriptions with the revealed targets, I explore both apparent correspondences and the problems of interpretation. These are informal tests, and apparent matches alone do not demonstrate a remote viewing ability.
How I approach remote viewing
My approach combines curiosity, structure and a willingness to question my own interpretations.
Blind tasking, a clear session record and feedback give us a basis for assessing the work. I want to understand where a session corresponds with a target, where it misses, and where there is simply not enough information to judge.
As an artist, I place particular value on sketching. A drawing can communicate shape, space, movement and relationships that are difficult to capture in words. That visual approach runs through my own sessions and my mentoring.
I also believe development takes time. Regular practice, difficult targets, mistakes and thoughtful feedback all contribute to becoming a more capable viewer. After nearly three decades, I am still experimenting and learning.
Background, books and publishing
Since beginning remote viewing in 1997, I have worked as a viewer and project manager on professional, humanitarian and exploratory projects, including earlier work with the Farsight Institute.
Alongside practice, I have spent years studying the history of the field, including declassified Star Gate records and the development of CRV. Remoteviewed.com brings together resources, examples and historical material for people who want to investigate remote viewing for themselves.
I am the publisher and editor of **Eight Martinis — The State of the Art Remote Viewing Magazine**, sharing practitioner experience, projects, methods and discussion.
My books include Surfing the Psychic Internet, CRV: Controlled Remote Viewing — Collected Manuals and Information, Remote Viewing Dialogues and Remote Viewing 9/11.

Beyond remote viewing
I’m also a documentary photographer, artist and designer. Photography gives me another way to explore people, events and the stories we tell about the world. Observation and visual communication are threads running through both sides of my work.
