Stargate Program (CIA / DIA / Army, 1972-1995)
conceptIntelligence & Surveillance · Media & Managed Opposition · Biotech & Transhumanism
Tens of thousands of declassified CIA pages document a real 23-year government program that tried to spy using the mind.
Who they are
The Stargate Program (CIA/DIA/Army, 1972-1995), also known under names like Sun Streak and Grill Flame.
What they do
A US government remote-viewing program and, in the engine's read, the best-documented body of official evidence on parapsychology anywhere.
How it works
Run through SRI International and the DIA with operators like physicist Hal Puthoff and subject Ingo Swann, it produced roughly 89,000 declassified pages (released 2003) and cost over $20M across 23 years; a 1995 independent evaluation found its controlled remote-viewing showed statistically significant effects but had no use for actual intelligence work, and it was terminated in 1995.
Why it matters
The engine values it as the highest-tier primary-source record on the paranormal, and notes it operated under stricter blind-target verification than open channeling, while flagging that a 2026 claim by Jason Jorjani cited its alumni to make questionable assertions about consumer-DNA databases.
The engine's record — word for word
US government remote-viewing program. Predecessor names: Sun Streak, Grill Flame, Center Lane, Project SCANATE. Lead institutions: SRI International (Stanford Research Institute), Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), DIA. Lead operators: Hal Puthoff (PhD physicist, SRI), Russell Targ (laser physicist, SRI), Ingo Swann (artist, primary subject), Pat Price (former police commissioner), Joseph McMoneagle (Army officer). Tier-1 PRIMARY-SOURCE archive: ~89,000 declassified pages released 2003 by CIA via FOIA. Funding: $20M+ over 23 years. Tier-1 EVALUATION: 1995 American Institutes for Research (AIR) Mumford-Rose-Goslin assessment concluded Controlled Remote Viewing protocols showed 'statistically significant' effects but had 'no application to intelligence operations.' Program officially terminated 1995. Engine relevance: highest-tier primary-source corpus on parapsychology in entire ecosystem — Tier-1 PRIMARY DOCUMENTS exist (CIA archive) plus Tier-1 EVALUATION (AIR 1995). Most credentialed-engagement instance in the entire channeling/non-ordinary-communication ecosystem. Methodological discipline gap (CRV protocols) vs open-channeling notable: Stargate operated under blind-target verifiable-output discipline that channeling does NOT. [Report #133] Cross-contamination vector (flagged): Jason Jorjani (2026) propagated a claim sourced to this program's remote-viewing alumni (Lyn Buchanan) and ex-CIA analyst Christopher 'Kit' Green that consumer-DNA databases (23andMe/Ancestry) were screened for humanoid 'Nordic'-entity genetic variants — documenting how the Cold-War psi legacy is rhetorically fused to modern genetic-selection narratives. Underlying allegation unsubstantiated; the documented fact is the propagation. Held; name no holder.
