    Stargate was a CIA project that explored parasciences: telepathy, twin telepathy, astral projection and remote viewing. It was scrapped in 93 after 25 years of not showing anything, despite some parasciences 'professionals' who participated claiming it did.

    The CIA declassified all information, and while the 70s documents show clear interest and weird results, reading it in chronological order is very interesting as you can feel desillusions set in as experimental protocols hardens and results prove irreproducible.

    For context: this is a transcript from a remote viewing session, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargate_Project

    If anyone is interested in hearing from some of the members of the Stargate program (mainly remote viewers) themselves, the Shawn Ryan Show podcast has several of them.

    The interviews are fairly well done in my opinion.

    Sounds like whoever spoke or wrote that text was a science fiction buff.
