Remote Viewing of Jupiter by Ingo Swann in 1973
The following is an excerpt from a longer and infinitely more detailed report which can be found here. Keep in mind that while many of the information may seem redundant, such as the hydrogen composition and Jovian ring system, the viewing took place long before this data was scientifically confirmed.
The raw data
Although not indicated in the record, the experiment began promptly at 6:00 p.m. PST. The first response occurred at 6:03:25 - perhaps meaning that it took that long "to get to Jupiter," or that long for images to form. The first data-rich response was not made until just after 6:04:13 - a four minute delay.
You will also note that an average delay of 2 minutes occurs between the verbalized data sets. The reason for those delays has not been understood.
Swann | Jupiter probe
(April 27, 1973)
Experiment 46
No big sharp noises for the next 1/2 hour please.
6:03:25 (3 seconds fast) There's a planet with stripes.
6:04:13 I hope it's Jupiter. I think that it must have an extremely large hydrogen mantle. If a space probe made contact with that, it would be maybe 80,000 - 120,000 miles out from the planet surface.
6:06 So I'm approaching it on the tangent where I can see it's a half moon, in other words half lit half dark. If I move around to the lit side it's distinctly yellow toward the right. (Hal - Which direction you had to move?)
6:06:20 Very high in the atmosphere there are crystals, they glitter, maybe the stripes are like bands of crystals, maybe like rings of Saturn, though not far out like that, very close within the atmosphere. ["Note": see sketch of ring in the raw data drawing ahead.] (Unintelligible sentence.) I bet you they'll reflect radio probes. Is that possible if you had a cloud of crystals that were assaulted by different radio waves? (Hal - That's right.)
6:08:00 Now I'll go down through. It feels really good there (laugh). I said that before, didn't I? Inside those cloud layers, those crystal layers, they look beautiful from the outside, from the inside they look like rolling gas clouds - eerie yellow light, rainbows.
6:10:20 I get the impression, thought I don't see, that it's liquid. 6:10:55 Then I came through the cloud cover, the surface it looks like sand dunes. They're made of very large grade crystals so they slide. Tremendous winds sort of like maybe the prevailing winds of earth, but very close to the surface of Jupiter. From that view the horizon looks orangish or rose-colored but overhead it's kind of greenish-yellow.
6:12:35 If I look to the right there is an enormous mountain range.
6:13:18 If I'm giving a description of where I've gone and am, it would be approximately where Alaska is if the sun were directly overhead which it is. The sun looks like it has a green corona, seems smaller to me. (Hal - What color is the sun?) White.
6:14:45 I feel that there's liquid somewhere. Those mountains are very huge but they still don't poke up through the crystal cloud cover. You know I had a dream once something like this where the cloud cover was a great arc, sweeps over the entire heaven. Those grains which make that sand orange are quite large. They have a polished surface and they look something like amber or like obsidian but they're yellowish and not as heavy. The wind blows them, they slide along.
6:16:37 If I turn, the whole thing seems enormously flat. I mean if I get the feeling that if a man stood on those sands I think he would sink into them (laugh); maybe that's where that liquid feeling comes from.
6:18:10 I see something that looks like a tornado. Is there a thermal inversion here? I bet there is. I bet you that the surface of Jupiter will give a very high infrared count (?), reading (?) (Hal - reading) (inaudible sentence). The heat is held down.
6:19:55 I seem to be stuck, not moving. I'll move more towards the equator. I get the impression that that must be a band of crystals similar to the outer ones, kind of bluish. They seem to be sort of in orbit, permanent orbit down through another layer farther down which are like our clouds but moving fast. There's another area: liquid like water. Looks like it's got icebergs in it but they're not icebergs.
6:22:20 Tremendous wind. It's colder here, maybe it's because there's not a thermal inversion there.
6:23:25 I'm back. OK. (Hal - very interesting.)
The atmosphere of Jupiter is very thick. I mean ... (Ingo draws) ... Explanation of drawing: This is what appears to be a hydrogen mantle about 100,000 miles off the surface. Those here are bands of crystals, kind of elements. They're pretty close to the surface. And beneath those are layers of clouds or what seem to be prevailing winds. Beneath that is the surface which I saw was, well, it looked like shifting sands made out of some sort of slippery granulated stuff. And off in the distance, I guess, to the East was a very high mountain chain 30,000 feet or so, quite large mountains. I feel these crystals will probably bounce radio waves. They're that type.
Generally, that's all.

THE MAJOR DATA CATEGORIES COMPARE WITH CONFIRMATORY FEEDBACK
I will now present each of the categories by reiterating the raw data statements and give samples from confirmatory sources -although numerous other sources are provided for each category in the formal document.
HYDROGEN COMPOSITION
1. "Hydrogen mantle":
"Swann": I think that it must have an extremely large hydrogen mantle. If a space probe made contact with that, it would be maybe 80,000-120,000 miles out from the planet's surface."
"Scientific American" (September, 1973, p. 121): "Above the hypothetical core is a thick stratum in which hydrogen is by far the most abundant element; this stratum makes up almost all the mass and volume of the planet. The hydrogen is separated into two layers; in both it is liquid, but it is in different physical states.
"The inner layer extends from the core to a distance of approximately 45,000 kilometers from the center, where the pressure is estimated to be about three million earth atmospheres ... In this layer the hydrogen is in the liquid metallic state, a form of the element that has not yet been observed in the laboratory because it exists only at extremely high pressures. ... The outer layer extends to about 70,000 kilometers and consists mainly of liquid hydrogen in its molecular form.
"Above the layer of molecular hydrogen, and extending another 1,000 kilometers to the cloud tops is the gaseous hydrogen atmosphere."
"Science" (Vol. 183, January 25, 1974, p. 317): "Jupiter appears to have an extensive hydrogen torus surrounding it in the orbital plane of Io."
ATMOSPHERIC
1. "Storms, wind":
" Swann": "Tremendous winds sort of like maybe the prevailing winds of earth but very close to the surface. I see something that looks like a tornado."
"Scientific American" (March, 1976, p. 50): "On Jupiter the zones and the Great Red Spot are high-pressure regions (anti�cyclonic) and the belts are low-pressure (cyclonic). ... In that respect they resemble tropical cyclones (rotating hurricanes) and mature extratropical cyclones on the earth."
"Time" (March 12, 1979, p. 87): "Yet it was Jupiter's stormy weather that caused the greatest excitement. Voyager's electronic eyes spotted dozens of storms across Jupiter's banded face. Most of them measure about 6,000 miles wide, far larger than their earthly counterparts. ... University of Arizona astronomer Bradford A. Smith was both awed and puzzled by these storms."
2. "High infrared reading":
"Swann": "I bet you that the surface of Jupiter will give a very high infrared count (?), reading (?). The heat is held down."
"Science", Vol. 183, Jan. 25, 1974, p. 303: "The Pioneer 10 infrared radiometer has established that the excess radiation is 2 to 2.5 times the solar input and that there is no temperature change at the cloud top levels across the evening terminator of the planet.
"Science News", Vol 105, Apr. 13, 1974, p. 236: "The surprise is that the heating should begin at such lofty altitudes, particularly with no indications either from earthly observations or from the infrared mapping device aboard. 'It's a huge discrepancy,' admits Kilore. 'I can't explain it.' The closest thing to a theory is that perhaps a haze or dust layer, while confusing watchers on earth, created a greater greenhouse effect than anyone had expected, trapping and building the sun's incoming energy to unanticipated heights."
3. "Temperature inversion":
"Swann": "Is there a thermal inversion here? I bet there is.
"Science", Vol. 188, May 2, 1975, p. 475: "In particular, the appearance of the inversion at about 260 K is strikingly similar to the Pioneer 10 entry profile, although the Pioneer 11 measurement was obtained on the dark limb of Jupiter. Thus, the inversion cannot be ascribed to heating by particulate absorption of solar radiation, unless rapid circulation at the polar latitude is sufficient to maintain this effect across the terminator."
4. "Cloud color and configuration":
"Swann": "From that view the horizon looks orangish or rose-colored, but overhead it's kind of greenish-yellow. You know I had a dream once something like this where the cloud cover was a great arc, sweeps over the entire heaven".
"Science News", Vol 115, March 10, 1979, p. 148: "Still, striking reds, oranges, yellows, brown and even blue make Jupiter's convoluted patterns seem all the more fantastic. ... A major goal of Voyager is to find out the nature and chemistry of the coloring agents. ... Phosphene and other candidates have been suggested, but they have been far from certain."
5. "Water and ice crystals":
"Swann": "I get the impression, thought I don't see, that it is liquid. I get the impression that that must be a band of crystals similar to the outer ones, kind of bluish. They seem to be sort of in orbit, permanent orbit down through another layer farther down which are like our clouds but moving fast. There's another area: liquid like water. Looks like it's got icebergs in it but they're not icebergs."
"Science News" (Vol. 106, September 21, 1974, p. 186): "Farther down may be frozen water crystals and possibly even liquid water, the Pioneer researchers suggest, although water has never been observed there."
"Ibid". (February 15, 1975, p. 102): "Water vapor in the atmosphere of Jupiter -- 'The first oxygen-bearing molecule identified in the outer planets' -- has been discovered by a team of astronomers from the University of Arizona."
MAGNETIC AND ELECTROMAGNETIC
" 1. "Auroras":
"Swann": Inside those cloud layers, those crystal layers, they look beautiful from the outside [i.e., spaceside], but from the inside they look like rolling gas clouds -- eerie yellow light, rainbows."
"Time" (March 12, 1979, p. 87): Voyager also discovered a dazzling, doughnut-shaped cloud of electrically charged particles that formed displays similar to the earth's northern lights."
"Science News" (Vol. 118, July 21, 1979: "One major product of the field is the region of brilliant auroras discovered around the planet by Voyager 1 and further studied by its successor [Voyager 2]."
"GRAVITATIONAL PHENOMENA"
1. "The Ring":
"Swann": "Very high in the atmosphere there are crystals, they glitter, maybe the stripes are like bands of crystals, maybe "like rings" [emphasis added] on Saturn, "thought not far out" [emphasis added] like that, very close within the atmosphere. I bet you they'll reflect radio probes. Is that possible if you had a cloud of crystals that were assaulted by different radio waves?"
("See" sketch of Ring in raw data.)
"Time" (March 19, 1979, p. 86):"Coming within 278,000 km (172,400 miles) of the swirling Jovian cloud tops, the robot survived intense radiation, peered deep into the planet's storm�tossed cloud cover, provided startling views of the larger Jovian moons "and, most surprising of all, revealed the presence of a thin, flat ring around the great planet" [emphasis added]. Said University of Arizona Astronomer Bradford Smith: 'We're standing here with our mouths open, reluctant to tear ourselves away'."
"SURFACE PHENOMENA"
1. "Liquid composition":
"Swann": I feel that there's liquid somewhere. If I turn, the whole thing seems enormously flat. I mean if I get the feeling that if a man stood on those sands I think he would sink into them (laugh); maybe that's where the liquid feeling comes from.
"Aviation Week & Space Technology" (November 19, 1973, p. 53): "A reason is that Jupiter may be all atmosphere. Lack of radar reflectivity points to a gel-like rather than solid core."
"Science News" (Vol. 110, July 17, 1976, p. 44): "In fact, liquidity seems to be the most salient overall characteristic of Jupiter. ... The outer layer [the "mantle"] is gaseous hydrogen mostly. As the pressure increases the hydrogen gradually passes into a liquid state. ... The liquid molecular hydrogen changes to liquid metallic hydrogen at 25,000 kilometers down."
2. "Mountain range":
"Swann": "If I look to the right here there is an a enormous mountain range. Those mountains are very huge but they still don't poke up through the crystal cloud cover. And off in the distance, I guess, to the East, was a very high mountain chain 30,000 feet or so, quite large mountains."
("Discussion": This mountain range thing, plus the Ring thing, damned the Jupiter Probe from the start because prevailing scientific opinion denied their possibility.)
"I will now take this opportunity to point out that ALL the skeptical attacks on the Jupiter Probe experiment focus on holding the mountain thing up to ridicule -- BUT THAT NONE OF THEM MENTION THE VERY SUCCESSFUL RING THING".
(It "is" true that before the NASA crafts approached Jupiter, prevailing scientific wisdom held that the planet was "mostly gaseous" and/or "mostly liquid." However, this "wisdom" began to change:)
"Science" (Vol. 183, January 25, 1974): "The magnetic field measurements at Jupiter will also enable us to investigate more exactly the core of the planet. Several models of the core have been proposed which include either frozen or liquid metallic hydrogen as well as a rocky core consisting of several tens of earth masses."
[[[Now, pay attention here: "a rocky core consisting of "several tens of earth masses""? SEVERAL TENS OF EARTH MASSES! Well, if you enlarge earth's mass by ten or twenty or more times, then a "30,000-foot mountain range" would seem like a hill there.]]]
"Science News" (Vol. 110, July 10, 1975): "One of the most famous features of Jupiter's atmosphere is the great Red Spot. Astronomers have engaged in endless speculation and argument about its nature. Observers have suggested that it was a column of the atmosphere hooked on the top of an extra-high mountain ...".
"Scientific American" (September, 1975, p. 121): The model allows for a small rocky core ['small,' yet several times earth's mass] at the center of the planet ... The core would be composed mainly of iron and silicates, the materials that make up most of the earth's bulk. Such a core is expected for cosmogonic reasons: ... The core cannot be detected through gravitational studies, however, so that its existence cannot be proved." [I.e., cannot be detected because the crystals in the upper atmosphere reflect all radio or other detection signals.]
"Scientific American" (March, 1976, p. 53): "Because of the Great Red Spot's long lifetime, its constancy in latitude and its uniqueness, it seemed that it must be connected with an underlying solid object or topographic feature that was giving rise directly to the flow patterns at the visible surface [cloud cover].
"A Taylor column is the cylinder of stagnant fluid that was believed to join the solid object to the red cloud we see at the top of the Jovian atmosphere. ... Finally, other zones seem to have their own red spots, suggesting that the Great Red Spot is not unique [i.e., in being attached to a high geological formation.]"
[[[Mountains, by golly, high ones which poke up and distort the storm-cloud flows. However, scientists continued to argue the "solid core problem" until just recently.]]]
"The Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet impacts on Jupiter". Not long ago, a series of twenty or so comets impacted Jupiter one after another.
The largest of them left "impact craters" so huge and so high that their circular contours can easily be seen emerging from the cloud cover which is several miles thick.
Since the impacts, the mountainous craters can still be seen when that side of Jupiter is turned toward earth.
Well, if there were not mountains on Jupiter back in 1973, there are some there now -- huge and big, and well over 30,000 feet high. It is quite clear now that Jupiter does have a solid core some tens of masses the size of earth's own mass."
