"Jones has briefed the President's Scientific Advisory Committee, and has testified before House and Senate committees on intelligence matters."
Retired from the Navy around 1976 due to a parapsychological experience.
After retiring, he worked for several companies, including R. F. Cross Associates, Ltd., and Kaman Tempo, a division of Kaman Sciences.

Together, they visited parapsychological laboratories and UFO conferences."
"Jones has conducted his own dolphin telepathy studies along with Colonel John Alexander and Theodore Rockwell, a prominent (Who's Who) nuclear engineer who has worked on naval nuclear propulsion systems and who also serves as vice president of the U.S. Psychotronics Association."
In his paper "Government UFO Connections" (included in "Phoenix in the Labyrinth"), he claims to have no knowledge of government involvement in UFOs.
"Laibow, [Gen. Albert] Stubblebine and ufologist Victoria Lacas (with Jones in the shadows) toured Europe and the Soviet Union, where they have established a prodigious UFO/Psi network."
(Durant, Robert J., "Will the Real Scott Jones Please Stand Up?", 1992)
Hosted a symposium for his employer, Kaman Tempo, entitled "Applications of Anomalous Phenomena" (Leesburg, Virginia, 11/30-12/1/83).
The symposium was intended to bring government, academic, and military officials' up-to-date information on private psi research. (Geller, Uri and Playfair, Guy Lyon, The Geller Effect, Johnathan Cape, 1986, pg. 224-5)
"[Eldon] Byrd told me [Dick Farley] about it [Byrd's lawsuit w/ Randi] over dinner at C. B. "Scott" Jones home one evening of several we spent together back in '92 and '93 there."

"Enabled me to do my intelligence assignment with much greater speed than one ordinarily expected."
A believer in UFOs since he saw one duting the Korean war.
His book Phoenix in the Labyrinth reportedly deals with PSI-TECH a great deal.

On the registration questionnaire for the 5/28/95 "When Cosmic Cultures Meet" conference, Jones asked attendees if they would consider taking a drug that would result in telepathic contact with aliens.
In 1989, Scott claimed that the government probably didn't have a large parapsychology program (large meaning funding in the millions) apart from occasional application of research in the open literature by individuals with strong personal interests.
(Jones, C.B. Scott, "Essay Review of Psychic Warfare: Fact of Fiction?," Journal of Parapsychology, 6/89, pg. 147)
This was after he himself was involved in such a program, so he would have known better.
In this essay, he also seems to doubt that the US could carry on a mind-control program (again), due to the checks and balances of our democratic system.
Jones has attended conferences in the former Soviet Union, where he was in contact with Christopher Bird (Jones, 1989, pg. 144).
His foundation is also involved with the research of Russian scientist Dr. Igor Smirnov.
