The Stargate Project was a US government study from 1972 to 1995 investigating the use of psychic abilities in military tactics, including remote viewing and precognition. It involved 22 viewers and 14 research labs, with involvement from the FBI, CIA, and military departments. Psychic predictions reportedly included the release of a US hostage and an attack on a frigate. A post-project analysis found some success but also a large volume of irrelevant information. The project was terminated in 1995 and deemed not valuable for intelligence operations.
“The Stargate Project” is a code name given to one of several studies conducted by the United States federal government to investigate the potential use of psychic abilities in military tactics. Built from 1972 to 1995, the Stargate project was also known by codenames such as: Gondola Wish, Scannate, Sun Streak, Grill Flame and Center Lane.
The Stargate project built on previous research into psychic phenomena conducted at the American Society for Psychical Research and the Stanford Research Institute, and was spurred on by similar psychic research conducted by the Russian military during the Cold War era. The project was particularly focused on investigating the potential of ‘remote viewing’, the purported ability to see physical evidence or information at great distances, as well as precognition, the ability to see the future. Telekinesis, the supposed ability to physically manipulate objects using the mind, has also been studied in the Stargate project.
Reportedly, 22 viewers and about 14 research labs worked on the US$20 million (USD) Stargate project at its peak. The FBI, the CIA, and various governments, agencies, and military departments were also involved in the project. In 1995, after the Stargate project was disclosed to the public, Time magazine reported that three psychics were still employed on the project in Fort Meade, Maryland.
In 1979, one of the psychics working on the Stargate project reported that he could tell that one of the US citizens being held hostage in Iran by a group of Islamic militants was “suffering from nausea,” with “one side of his body.” …damaged or injured” and that “he will be on a plane in the next few days”. The American hostage, Richard Queen, was released three weeks after the prediction and suffered from multiple sclerosis, which had affected nerves along one side of his body. Another psychic with the Project, Paul H. Smith, had a remote viewing session that reportedly predicted certain details regarding the May 17, 1987 attack on the frigate USS Stark three days before it happened.
University of California statistics professor Jessica Utts conducted an analysis of Project Stargate upon its completion, which revealed that psychic subjects gifted with the project scored 5%-15% higher than likely , but that their reports included a large volume of irrelevant and vague information . Following the disclosure and subsequent termination of the Stargate project in 1995, the government issued a statement declaring that the project “has not demonstrated value in intelligence operations”.
