The Stargate Project

The Stargate Project was the umbrella name for a series of classified U.S. government programs that investigated the potential of psychic phenomena for military and intelligence applications. The project primarily focused on remote viewing—the ability to perceive distant locations or events through extrasensory means.

Operating from 1978 to 1995 under various code names, the project was funded by the CIA, DIA, and other intelligence agencies. At its peak, the program employed several full-time remote viewers and conducted thousands of intelligence collection sessions.

The Stargate Project produced mixed but fascinating results. While some sessions provided remarkably accurate information, others were less successful. The 1995 AIR evaluation reached split conclusions:

Despite the controversy, the Stargate Project demonstrated that remote viewing could be trained and that results exceeded chance expectations. Today, many former military remote viewers teach the techniques publicly, and platforms like Social RV allow anyone to practice and verify the phenomenon for themselves.
