Remote viewing is often mistaken for astral travel, but the two aren't the same: the remote-viewer stays in his/her body, conscious and not in an altered state. From all indications, it is supposed to work by accessing the Akashic record (or something similar). The Akashic record is a collective record of all experience and phenomena, through all time and space. This concept has been "teched-up" recently, as is sometimes called something like "Quantum Information Storage". Evidently, the remote viewer accesses the record and his/her unconscious mind sorts out the data he/she needs. According to Joseph McMoneagle in Mind Trek, the target is not experienced by the viewer as if he/she is at the site. Rather, the viewer receives bits and pieces of information, much of which is symbolic. By processing this information under strict protocal, a clearer picture of the target emerges.
There are also may be elements of telepathy and/or precognition (fortune-telling). According to recent descriptions, the coordinates given to the viewer are unimportant as far as their objective reality. Either the viewer reads the mind of the person who assigned the target, or the viewer sees the future when he/she is told what the target is after a session. The case would seem to be the latter: the process seems to work in double-blind situations, i.e. neither viewer nor monitor know the target: it's selected randomly from a pool.
Also, according to Hal Puthoff, viewing works best when the viewer is told the target afterwards, and sometimes the viewer accurately identified the target before it was selected. Russell Targ notes in Mind Race that viewers were able to accurately predict the 1980 presidential election. However, they were limited to viewing which object would be in box after election day (a different object for each candidate).
The later, more advanced remote-viewing techniques of Ingo Swann, Ed Dames, and the PSI-TECH crowd supposedly offer unlimited access to time. Unfortunately, most cases I have seen where prediction has been available for verification (i.e. the predicted time of the event has passed, and the event's existence can be proven or denied), have proven to be false. Aliens haven't revealed their existence (Ed Dames has pushed forward the timeline for this event via Courtney Brown), a planet past Pluto wasn't discovered in 1995, and an event that changed the perception of the nature of humanity didn't occur in 1985.
To be fair, Ingo Swann lists several correct predictions he made in the book Your Nostradamus Factor, but the method described consists primarily of trend analysis and other forms of predicition, augumented with psychic or intuitive ability. This method is quite different from pure remote-viewing.
