## Topic candidate — Project STARGATE / remote viewing

- Added: 2026-05-14 06:48
- User request: "Stargate and remote viewing research this topic"
- Proposed article title: "Project STARGATE: What the CIA Remote-Viewing Files Actually Say"
- Proposed angle: Cold War intelligence history, not proof of UFOs/aliens. Explain why U.S. agencies funded remote-viewing work, what code names were used, who the key people were, and why the program was later evaluated/terminated.
- Core official/primary sources to use:
  - CIA Reading Room STARGATE collection: https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/collection/stargate
  - CIA PDF, "STAR GATE PROJECT: AN OVERVIEW": https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00789R002800180001-2.pdf
  - CIA PDF / AIR report, "An Evaluation of the Remote Viewing Program: Research and Operational Applications" (Sept. 29, 1995): https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00791R000200180005-5.pdf
  - National Security Archive copy of AIR evaluation: https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB54/docs/doc_57.pdf
  - FAS overview, "STAR GATE [Controlled Remote Viewing]": https://irp.fas.org/program/collect/stargate.htm
  - National Security Archive science/technology CIA briefing book: https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB54/
- Key facts to verify and explain:
  - Remote-viewing work was tied to Cold War concern over reported Soviet "psychotronic" research.
  - Names/program lineage included SCANATE, GONDOLA WISH, GRILL FLAME, CENTER LANE, SUN STREAK, and STAR GATE.
  - Early research was associated with Stanford Research Institute/SRI, including Russell Targ, Harold/ Hal Puthoff, and subjects such as Ingo Swann and Pat Price.
  - Operational work included Fort Meade/Army intelligence and later DIA/SAIC involvement.
  - The 1995 American Institutes for Research review included opposing interpretations by statistician Jessica Utts and psychologist Ray Hyman.
  - AIR recommended termination; CIA concluded remote viewing had not produced intelligence sufficiently useful to justify continuation.
- Editorial caution: Avoid claiming remote viewing is proven. Present the strongest claim as "some lab results were argued to be statistically significant," balanced against methodological objections and operational usefulness concerns.
- UFO connection: indirect. Useful for the UFO/UAP series because Hal Puthoff appears in UFO/disclosure circles and because STARGATE shows how classified/intelligence-adjacent subjects can blur documented history, speculation, and media mythology.
