Martin Zoller: Using Remote Viewing to Find a Plane Wreck in Bolivia

Published 2026-05-04 · Reading time approx. 6 minutes

Martin Zoller is one of the most renowned mediums in the German-speaking world. He gained worldwide attention primarily through a spectacular case in 1999: using Remote Viewing, he located a plane that had crashed in the Bolivian jungle, which official search parties had been unable to find for days – making it possible to rescue several survivors.

The Crash

It was Monday, March 22, 1999, when a Piper PA-32 took off from Yaguacua near the Argentine border heading for Santa Cruz de la Sierra. On board were a woman and five men, two of them Argentine citizens. During the flight, the aircraft disappeared from radar. The Bolivian authorities immediately launched a large-scale search across the vast, densely forested lowlands – but the rough terrain and the closed canopy made aerial detection nearly impossible.

Remote Viewing as a Last Hope

As hope of finding survivors began to fade, Martin Zoller was contacted. Zoller, who already had experience with Remote Viewing (remote perception), set to work. Remote Viewing is a structured technique researched in the 1970s at the Stanford Research Institute on behalf of the US military and the CIA, aimed at gaining information about distant locations or hidden objects through consciousness alone.

Zoller worked without coordinates – focusing solely on the missing aircraft. In his sessions, inner images of the surroundings emerged, allowing him to narrow down the search area and mark the suspected crash site.

The Rescue

Zoller transmitted his clues to the authorities in Bolivia. Despite initial skepticism, the search teams redirected their efforts to the area he had described – and found the wreck. Several of the occupants had survived the crash and could be recovered, some seriously injured, after the official rescue operations had previously been unsuccessful.

For the world of Remote Viewing, the case is one of the best-documented successes ever – and it made Martin Zoller internationally known overnight.

What We Learn From This

The Martin Zoller case shows that Remote Viewing is much more than mere intuition or a "lucky guess." It points to the possibility that our consciousness is not necessarily bound by the limits of the physical body. Zoller himself repeatedly emphasizes that this ability lies dormant in every person – but requires training and discipline.
