A former CIA-linked “psychic spy” who spent decades warning about the end of the world has sparked fresh fear online after his death — thanks to one final eerie prediction he made before passing away.
Retired Major Ed Dames, one of the most controversial figures tied to the U.S. government’s secret Cold War remote-viewing experiments, died in March at age 76. But before his death, Dames doubled down on his longtime claim that Earth is heading toward a catastrophic solar disaster he called the “Killshot.”
According to Dames, the terrifying event could wipe out power grids, destroy communications, trigger violent global chaos and leave millions dead.
And he believed it may already be starting.
In one of his final recorded interviews, released after his death, Dames warned that humanity had entered the early stages of what he called the “Killshot sequence” during the current Solar Maximum — a period of intense solar activity expected to continue through the end of 2026.
“You wake up and there’s no power and there’s no water and there’s no gasoline,” Dames warned during an October 2025 appearance on the Michael Decon Program. “It’s going to be a bad nightmare scenario. The government is not going to help you.”
The chilling comments have gone viral again following his death, reigniting debate over the bizarre psychic espionage programs once secretly funded by the U.S. government.
Dames became famous in paranormal circles after claiming he worked inside Project Stargate, a top-secret military program that investigated whether certain people could use psychic abilities — known as “remote viewing” — to spy on distant targets during the Cold War.
The program ran from the 1970s until 1995 as intelligence agencies feared the Soviet Union was experimenting with psychic warfare and mind-based espionage.
Dames claimed that while searching for signs of nuclear war decades ago, remote viewers instead stumbled across horrifying visions of a future solar catastrophe.
For years, he traveled the country giving “Killshot” lectures, selling survival DVDs and warning that deadly blasts from the sun would one day devastate civilization.
Critics blasted him repeatedly after several of his predicted timelines came and went without disaster. Scientists have also long argued there is no verified scientific proof that remote viewing actually works.
Still, Dames insisted before his death that the signs were finally lining up.
He pointed to Solar Cycle 25, the current period of heightened solar activity that has already produced massive solar flares, geomagnetic storms and spectacular northern lights visible across parts of the United States.
“The sun’s doing unprecedented stuff,” Dames claimed. “There are more solar spots than there have been in the last 20-something years.”
He also tied the looming apocalypse to the appearance of a real comet known as C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, which astronomers tracked as it passed through the inner solar system.
Dames claimed the comet’s timing and trajectory matched what remote viewers allegedly saw decades earlier.
“We didn’t know if it was a comet or a planetoid,” he said. “But the timing is a perfect match.”
Despite the dramatic warnings, astronomers say there is absolutely no scientific evidence connecting the comet to an extinction-level solar event.
NASA and NOAA have acknowledged that powerful solar storms can disrupt satellites, radio signals, GPS systems and electrical grids. However, there is no evidence of an incoming apocalypse capable of wiping out civilization.
Still, Dames’ dark predictions continue to fascinate conspiracy theorists and paranormal believers, especially now that his final interview has resurfaced after his death.
The former Army intelligence officer spent much of his later life claiming only certain parts of Earth would survive the “Killshot” relatively untouched — though skeptics accused him of profiting from fear through books, survival guides and speaking tours.
In one of his most chilling warnings, Dames described the future as a world where solar radiation would eventually penetrate Earth’s atmosphere and strike the surface directly.
“The true devastation of today’s Killshot will be unlike anything we have previously seen in history,” he once warned, predicting economic collapse, war and mass unrest would follow.
Whether viewed as a prophet or a conspiracy-driven showman, Ed Dames leaves behind one final mystery that still has the internet buzzing: Was he completely wrong — or did he believe the end had already begun?
