Born June 20, 1936, Chicago. PhD Stanford University 1967 (theoretical/experimental physicist, lasers). B.S./M.S.E. Univ Florida 1958/1960. Co-author 'Fundamentals of Quantum Electronics' (textbook, English/French/Russian/Chinese). Patents in laser, communications, energy.

Meade (nonlinear devices, optical components). 1963 Hansen Lab Stanford (lasers, nonlinear optics). 1972 SRI International. Founder/President/CEO EarthTech International. Director Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin. Former Science Director BAASS. Co-founder/VP Science & Technology TTSA. CIA REMOTE VIEWING (1970s-1980s): Puthoff + Russell Targ led CIA/DIA-funded experiments at SRI. 1974 Nature paper 'Information transmission under conditions of sensory shielding.' 'Launched what became known as STARGATE program.' CIA declassified 1995. NIDS: Connected with Kelleher, Davis. 'Aerospace and intelligence contacts who later intersected with AAWSAP, AATIP, TTSA.' AAWSAP DIRDs (2008-2010): DIA commissioned 38 DIRDs. Puthoff authored 'Advanced Space Propulsion Based on Vacuum (Spacetime Metric) Engineering.' Topics across DIRDs: warp drive, metallic glasses, wormholes, metamaterials, IEC fusion, space-time modifications, biological tissue effects.
