CIA Stargate Program / Remote Viewing (1975-1995)
A $20 million, 20-year classified US government program investigating 'remote viewing' — the ability to perceive distant or hidden targets using consciousness alone. Directed by physicist Hal Puthoff at Stanford Research Institute, funded initially by the CIA and later the DIA. Remote viewer Ingo Swann demonstrated abilities that defied known physics, including affecting a shielded quantum chip and accurately describing its internal structure. The program produced statistically significant results in lab settings. Declassified in 1995 after the CIA concluded it hadn't produced actionable intelligence, though lab results remained unexplained. The same scientists (Puthoff, Kit Green, Eric Davis) who ran Stargate later became central figures in UAP research — Puthoff co-founded TTSA and advises AAWSAP. This is the direct pipeline: the US government spent 20 years studying consciousness, the people who ran that program moved directly into UAP research, and they're now saying the two phenomena are connected.

CIA Stargate Program — Declassified Remote Viewing Files
Over 12,000 pages of declassified documents from the CIA's Stargate Program (1978-1995), which investigated remote viewing — the ability to perceive locations and events at a distance using consciousness alone. Program participants successfully located a downed Soviet bomber, described a secret Soviet submarine facility, and identified a kidnapped American. The program ran for 17 years across DIA, CIA, and Army intelligence. Terminated publicly in 1995, but multiple participants state it continued under other names.
