Project Stargate

Project Stargate was a US government program active from the 1970s to the 1990s aimed at exploring psychic phenomena, particularly "remote viewing"—the ability to perceive distant or unseen locations mentally. Conducted by agencies like the CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency, it sought to investigate potential military and intelligence applications of such abilities. Despite some intriguing reports, scientific evaluation found the results inconsistent and not reliably reproducible. The program was ultimately declassified and terminated, but it remains a notable example of government-funded research into unconventional, paranormal techniques.
