Harold E. Puthoff, Ph.D., (b. 20 June 1936) is an American physicist involved in research on various advanced physics and, earlier in his career, paranormal topics.

[edit] Research

In 1967, Puthoff earned a Ph.D. from Stanford University.

Puthoff is well known within gravitational physics for his papers on polarizable vacuum (PV) and stochastic electrodynamics topics, which are examples of alternative approaches to general relativity and quantum mechanics. In the '70s and '80s he directed a CIA/DIA-funded program at SRI International to investigate paranomal abilities, collaborating with Russell Targ in a study of the alleged psychic abilities of Uri Geller, Ingo Swann, Pat Price, Joseph McMoneagle and others.

Puthoff has invented and worked with tunable lasers and electron beam devices, concerning which he holds patents, and is co-author (with R. Pantell) of "Fundamentals of Quantum Electronics" (Wiley, 1969), published in English, French and Russian.

[edit] Secret government work

Puthoff was once a United States Navy officer who was assigned to the National Security Agency (NSA), later becoming a civilian employee. Following a sabbatical at Stanford University to obtain his Ph.D., he joined SRI International where in 1972, together with Russell Targ, he founded a then-highly-classified, now-highly-publicised "remote viewing" program, originally called Project SCANATE, finally STAR GATE, which was funded over its two-decade-plus history by the CIA, DIA, and various military organizations.[1]

Puthoff has held high-level security clearances with the United States government.

[edit] Ventures in Austin

In 1985, Puthoff founded a for-profit company, EarthTech International in Austin, TX. At about the same time, he founded an academically-oriented scientific research organization, Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin (IASA), also in Austin, TX, where he is Director. Independent of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ, IASA pursues more focused research on topics specifically related to energy generation and space propulsion, with funding from anonymous donors.

[edit] Scientology

Puthoff used to be involved with Scientology in the early 1970s but is no longer involved.
