Remote Viewing: Unveiling the Psychic Experiment
Remote viewing uncovers the fracture of history as psychics sketch out Soviet secrets, revealing a future facility, sparking an intelligence maelstrom.
Deep in the labyrinthine corridors of a decommissioned military facility, the air hangs with a palpable tension, whispering secrets of past operations. A lone desk sits under a single flickering bulb, casting long shadows that dance across faded maps. Amidst the dust and forgotten papers lies a document labeled “Project Stargate.” The term remote viewing appears, sparking curiosity and a sense of otherworldly intrigue. As the pages are turned, a mystery begins to unfold—one that defies conventional understanding and challenges the limits of human perception.
What the Video Adds (Quick Summary)
- The program begins in 1972 under Pentagon/CIA sponsorship, aiming to test psychic intelligence methods inside classified channels.
- RV protocols focus on describing distant targets without physical access, with sketches and notes logged against timestamps and task numbers.
- Select sessions were cross-checked against aerial or satellite imagery; some matches were judged noteworthy by case officers, others inconclusive.
- Pat Price is highlighted as a standout viewer; an attribution to an “October 9, 1983” session conflicts with public records indicating Price died in 1975, making that date/attribution disputed.
- References to further hidden caches (“vault” claims) are unverified and not supported by the CIA FOIA Reading Room or DIA FOIA listings.
The First Disruption
In the early 1970s, the Pentagon funded an experiment that would become Project Stargate. As of 2025, thousands of pages from that effort sit in the CIA FOIA Electronic Reading Room, with parallel traces in the Defense Intelligence Agency’s FOIA listings. Remote viewing is typically defined as a protocol-based attempt to describe or sketch a distant, unseen target using only mental focus under controlled tasking.
Program logs and contractor reports from Stanford Research Institute (later SRI International) describe a revolving set of code names—SCANATE, GRILL FLAME, CENTER LANE, SUN STREAK, and ultimately STARGATE—spanning Army INSCOM and DIA oversight. Files suggest the government’s interest was pragmatic: if even a small fraction of sessions produced actionable leads, the tool might merit continued testing.
One name dominates the lore: Pat Price, a former police officer who produced detailed sketches that startled analysts. Over the years, some compilations have cited a session dated October 9, 1983 describing a Soviet facility “not yet built.” Records indicate Price died in 1975, which means that specific attribution or date is almost certainly erroneous. Whether due to misdating, misattribution, or later summary errors, the 1983 claim should be treated as unverified.

Analysts accustomed to satellite photos and HUMINT found themselves comparing pencil sketches to reconnaissance take. A few overlays seemed to rhyme with reality; many did not. For those intrigued by the unexplained, Project Stargate remains a threshold case in the Paranormal Mysteries records managed by our editorial team at The Odd Signal.
Other Verified Encounters
Archives show repeated attempts to task viewers against discreet military hardware: naval yards, research sites, and aircraft facilities. Case files describe sketches of building layouts, gantries, and perimeter fencing, alongside notes on “target ambiance.” In some instances, hearings documented that later imagery revealed new construction resembling elements in earlier session sketches; in many others the correspondence was weak or ambiguous. These mixed results appear throughout the SRI/SAIC-era reports and Army INSCOM memoranda.
One oft-repeated example involves a “new” Soviet submarine concept described during a mid-1970s tasking and allegedly echoed by later imagery. That storyline remains anecdotal in open files. A separate storyline concerns locating downed aircraft in remote terrain—again, reported in program lore but thinly evidenced in the public record. Readers can trace what is documented versus folklore in declassified packets and in the Psychic Phenomena subcategory where we annotate released exhibits.
The Cover-Up / The Silencing
Public posture stayed cool. When the CIA assumed program sponsorship in the mid-1990s, it commissioned an external review by the American Institutes for Research. The AIR evaluation paired statisticians Jessica Utts and Ray Hyman with operational reviewers. Utts argued some lab data showed statistical effects; Hyman countered that controls and replicability standards fell short for intelligence work. The CIA’s public-facing conclusion: whatever the lab anomalies, operational utility was unproven, and the program was shuttered in 1995.

Files suggest internal debates ran hotter than press lines admitted, with DIA and Army officers arguing over ethics, tasking discipline, and the danger of confirmation bias. Today, declassified releases in the Government Cover-Ups catalog keep the embers alive, even as many celebrated “hits” resolve to disputed attributions or anecdote.
Echoes of the Future
Speculation stretches beyond the files: could disciplined cognition access information outside ordinary spacetime? That hypothesis remains unverified. Still, the Stargate record is a rare, sustained government test of remote viewing under pressure—an experiment that mapped where evidence ends and belief begins.
In the tension between signal and noise, one lesson endures: rigorous protocols, blind tasking, and independent verification are nonnegotiable if claims are to step from legend into the scientific record.
