Claim

Ingo Swann, one of the first SRI remote-viewing subjects, was an OT Level VII Scientologist, and Harold Puthoff, who ran the work with Russell Targ, was a Scientologist at the time. Pat Price, another SRI subject, credited Scientology with opening new vistas and abilities of self to him, in a profile reproduced in a CIA-released file. No fetched record gives Price's Scientology level.

Bosley's broader 'all of them' claim is a separate record: The top remote viewers were all Scientologists.
