PROJECT STAR GATE
1994 Congressionally Directed ActionThe REQUEST: "The DCI [CIA Director] is requested to construct a retrospective review and technical analysis of the data that has been produced by the program since its inception 20 years ago... "
The RESPONSE: "The data for this retrospective review, technical analysis, and compliance with Congressional direction have been retrieved from current DIA activity files. The CIA will conduct its own program review. DIA is not the home of record for results obtained by DoD [Department of Defense] Service Organizations regarding this phenomena during the 1970's."
Exactly how complete are the STAR GATE files? How much of the U.S. Government research into paraphysical phenomena, like UFOs, psychic mind-over-matter effects, remote viewing, and other oddities are not included in the file collection issued by the Central Intelligence Agency?
We know there are approximately 50,000 pages that have not yet been released. We assume that in many cases the reason these documents remain SECRET is to protect sources and methods that may have been identified during operational tasking, and research into foreign developments.
Are there clues to other programs or aspects of STAR GATE that the government wishes to keep from the public? A few have come to light, such as the references to PHOENIX and Soviet/Russian psychotronics and torsion spin fields.
An even more interesting possibility would be the existence of unnamed projects buried in various DoD programs -- projects that might still be operational.
Here's what the CIA review had to say in 1994:
The U.S. Navy program was to evaluate an individual's ability to perceive remote visual stimuli. This effort was to answer the question whether the phenomena exist. No additional information is on file regarding the Navy program.
Two names publicly associated with psi-spy and UFOlogy are Dale Graff and Rick Doty. Graff was with the USAF Foreign Technology Division, and Rick Doty worked for USAF Office of Special Investigations.
"The U.S. Air Force National Air Intelligence Center, formerly the Foreign Technology Division (FTD), initiated its program by asking whether the phenomena existed and whether it could be used to collect intelligence. "
"The analysis revealed that further research was required before remote viewing (RV) could become an effective tool. As a result, FTD began to explore areas that would have a direct bearing on improving the application of RV to include the effects of feedback and effectiveness over distance. In addition, FTD focused on the former Soviet Union and initiated attempts to replicate foreign experiments. No further information is on file about the FTD work in this arena."
One current program we have heard about through the grapevine might be kept alive under the direction of the National Intelligence Agency. We wonder about the identity of this blacked out item from the same STAR GATE review:
"The [redacted] research effort focused on the use of RV to collect intelligence data. [Redacted] chose to abandon the study for reasons that are unknown."
So why was the identity of this program manager redacted from a 1994 review approved for release by the CIA? One possibility is that the unnamed agency is currently engaged in a new paraphysics project and did not want to be associated with similar programs, even if the original project was discontinued nearly twenty years ago.
Other projects identified in the document were focused on the danger that psychokinesis -- mind over matter -- might have for sensitive electronics and missile control systems. Perhaps reports of mysterious electronics failures during UFO encounters at missile bases inspired the psychokinetic investigations.
"MIRADCOM [The Army's Missile Research and Development Command] had responsibility for developing a Remote Perturbation [a scientific name for psychokinesis] experimental program... The work was done under the sponsorship of the Missile Intelligence Agency (MIA)... "The MIA portion was to be passed to another MIRADCOM element (the Missile R">
Stanford Research Institute remote viewers were tasked by the Army Material Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA).
"Its interest was RV, and it sought immediate applications of the phenomena by targeting SRI viewers on daily field exercises. In September 1978, AMSAA contacted with SRI to do a number of tactically oriented RV tasks. In 1979 AMSAA extended the contract with SRI to April 1980. No further information is on file."
