Welcome to Strange History, where we explore the weird and wonderful history that has
shaped the world into what it is today. Strange History is proudly part of
the Dark Calf podcast network hosted on Spreaker. Go check out all the amazing
podcasts there. True to season two, as we promise, we delve into
space science and unexplained history or sometimes explained but is it the truth? This
week I dove into some declassified files of the CIA. It felt weird reading
these documents. It makes you wonder what other strange and wondrous things CIA looks
into. But this episode is about something called Stargate. Stargate was the CIA's
secret experiment with psychic spies. If you've seen the movie The Men Who Stare
at Goats, it's the same concept. Stargate was a top secret program conducted
by the Central Intelligence Agency that involved psychic spies and the exploration of remote viewing,
telepathy, and other paranormal phenomena. It was also considered a secret US
Army unit, and it was established in nineteen seventy eight at Fort Meade in
Maryland to investigate a psychic phenomena in the military and domestic intelligence applications could happen,
meaning could we spy on someone without ever leaving a chair in a room
thousands of miles away and in some cases in the past. The project and
its precursors and sister projects originally went by various code names Gondola, Wish,
Stargate, Grill, Flame, Center, Lane Projects, CF, Sunstreak,
Skin eight until nineteen ninety one, when they were consolidated and re christened as
the Stargate Project. What is the origins of Stargate? We start by tracing
the origins of Stargate back to the Cold War era, when the US government
became intrigued by reports of Soviet research into psychic abilities for military purposes. In
the nineteen seventies, the CIA launched its own psychic research program under the codenamed
Stargate, led by scientists such as doctor Hall put Off and Russell targ Let's
talk a little bit about some of the psychic spies that were the stars of
this program. The fascinating individuals who participated in the Stargate program include remote viewers
such as Inghoswan, Pat Price, and Hella Hammett. These individuals claimed to
have the ability to perceive remote locations, gather intelligence through extrasensory perception ESP,
and even engage in psychic spying on behalf of the CIA. Delving into the
secret mission was mind blowing. I will likely do another episode at some point
because there is just so much information. Some of the classified missions and experiments
conducted under the Stargate program included attempts to remote view hidden military installations, locate
hostages, gather intelligence on foreign adversaries, and even search for extraterrestrial life on
other planets. Here are some better explained examples with the secret missions undertaken by
the Stargate program. Remote viewing of foreign military installations. One of the primary
objectives of the Stargate program was to use remote viewing to gather intelligence on foreign
military installations. They were tasked with remotely viewing secret military bases, weapons facilities,
and other sensitive sites of foreign adversaries to gather information on their capabilities and
their activities. They worked on hostage locations and rescue psychic spies, or tasks
with remotely viewing the whereabouts of kidnapped individuals such as American citizens held captive in
foreign countries and an effort to aid in their rescue gathering intelligence on foreign leaders.
Psychic spies in the Stargate program were legedly used to gather intelligence on foreign
leaders. They were tasked with remotely viewing the activities, intentions, and decision
making processes of foreign politicians, military leaders, and other high ranking officials in
order to gain insight into their plans and strategies. Search for extra terrestrial life.
The Stargate program reportedly extended its remote viewing experiment beyond Earth, with psychic
spies tasked with attempting to remote view other planets and search for signs of extraterrestrial
life. This included attempts to gather intelligence on potential alien civilizations or advanced technologies
on other celestial bodies. They also assisted in law enforcement. The CIA allegedly
used the Stargate program to support law enforcement agencies and solving crimes. Psychic spies
were reportedly employed to remotely view crime scenes, locate missing persons, and gather
information related to ongoing investigations. Counterintelligence and espionage. The Stargate program was also
reportedly used for counterintelligence and espionage purposes. Psychic spies were tasked with remote viewing
the activity of foreign spies, detecting covert operations and uncovering hidden information related to
the nation's security threats. Let's talk a little bit about the most fascinating piece
of evidence that I personally have seen in these declassified fials. This took place
on May second, in nineteen eighty four. An index card and a sealed
envelope was placed in front of a remote viewer. Keep in mind, the
viewers were never given any information about their task. The CIA did not want
the information tainted by any information the viewer learned. They also never knew the
outcome of their viewing session. They never wanted the viewers to feel failure or
pressure, knowing they had been wrong in the past. I did read somewhere
that the viewers had a combined success ratio of twenty percent. I'm not sure
how true that is. So this sealed envelope had upon it geographic coordinates.
The sealed envelope was given to the subject immediately prior to the interview. The
envelope was not opened until after the interview. Keep us in mind. And
the envelope was a three by five index card with the following information The planet
Mars time of interest approximately one million years BC. How they did this experiment.
They gave the viewer specifically selected geographic coordinates verbally during the interview. I'm
going to read the transcript from the session. This is from the agent that
was performing the interview. All right, now, using the information in the
envelope I've provided exclusively, focusing your attention. Now, using the information in
the envelope, focus on forty point eighty nine degrees north, nine point fifty
five degrees west. The viewer went on to say, I want to say,
it looks like, I don't know. It sort of looks like kind
of got an oblique view of a pyramid, a pyramid form. It's very
high, it's yellowish, okay, oprah colored. The agent running the session
asked the viewer to move in time to the time indicated in the envelope provided
to you and describe what's happening. The viewer stated, I'm tracking severe,
severe clouds, more like a dust storm. Ah, it's a geological problem.
Seems like it's just a minute. I've got to iron this out.
It's really weird. The agent stated, just report your raw perception. At
this time, you're still early in the session. The viewer stated, I'm
looking at an after effect of a major geological problem. The agent asked the
viewer to go back to the time before the geological problem. The viewer said,
total difference. It's before there's no oh, I don't know. Oh.
Hell, it's like a mountain of dirt appearing and then disappearing. When
you go before, I see large flat surfaces, very smooth angles, walls.
They're really large, so I mean they're megalithic. The agent stated,
all right, this period in time now before the geologic event. Look around
this area and see if you can find any activity. The viewer said,
I'm seeing it's like a perception of a shadow of people, very tall,
thin, It's only a shadow. It's as if they were there and they're
not not there anymore. The agent asked the viewer go back to a period
of time when they are there. The viewer said, it's like I get
a lot of static on a line and everything it's breaking up all the time,
very fragmentary pieces. The agent asked, just report the raw data.
Don't try to put things in order and together. Just report the raw data.
The viewer said, I just keep seeing very large people. They appear
thin and tall, but they're very large, wearing some kind of a strange
clothing. The agent then said, all right, now, holding in this
time period, I want you to move from your physical location in space to
another physical location. But in this time period, move now to forty six
point forty five north and three hundred and fifty three point twenty two east.
The viewer did, and said he was deep inside of a cavern. Not
a cavern, more like a canyon. I'm looking up up the sides of
a steep wall that seemed to go on forever, and there's a structure.
It's like the wall of the canyon itself has been carved out again. I'm
getting very large structure, no intricacies, huge sections of smooth stone. The
Asian asked, do the structures have insides and outsides? The viewers said,
yes, they're very I don't know, it's like a rabbit warren corners of
rooms. They're really huge. I don't feel like I'm standing in one.
It's just really huge. Perception is that this ceiling is very high, walls
are very wide. The agent states, yes, that would be correct.
All right, I'd like you to move now to another location nearby. All
right, move from this point in time to forty five point eighty six north
and three hundred and fifty four point one east. The viewers said, it
appears to be the end of a very large road, and there's a marker
that's very large. I keep getting Washington Monument overlay. It's like an obelisk.
The viewer then moves the agent to a new location, thirty five point
twenty six north, two thirteen point twenty four east. The viewer states,
it's like I'm in the middle of a huge circular basin of a range of
mountains circle all the way around, very ragged, ragged mountains, very tall
basins, very very large. The scale seems to be off or something.
It's just really big. Everything is just really big. The agent said,
I understand the problem. Just continue. The viewer then stated, I see
just a right angle corner to something, but that's all. I don't see
anything else. The agent said, Okay, let's move into a little different
place, very close. Move from the point you are now in this time
thirty four point six north, two thirteen point nine east. The viewer reported
a cluster of squares up and down. It's like you want to make them
square anyway. They're almost flushed with the ground and it's like they're connected something
very white or reflects light. The agent asked, what's your position of observation
as you look at this thing and it reflects light. The viewer said,
I'm amid oh oblique left angle. The sun is weird. The agent said,
look back down at the ground now, and we're going to move just
a little bit from this place thirty four point fifty seven north two and twelve
point twenty two east, very close by their viewer reports, it's like I
can just perceive like a radiating pattern of some kind. It's like some really
strange intersecting kind of road that are dug into valleys, you know where a
road is just a little below the edge. The agent said, tell me
about the shapes of these things. The viewer reported, they're like neat little
channels cut out. They're very deep. It's like the road went down.
The agent states, Okay, now I have noticed electrically you're nulled out a
bit, and I want you to stay deep and recapture your focus here.
The viewer expresses how hard this is. It's really tough. It seems like
it's just very sporadic. The agent asks, I realize that it's very important
that you maintain your focus. I have a movement exercise for you. This
is some considerable distance away, So holding the focus in time, remember the
focus in time that you had before, and moving out of fifteen degrees north
one hundred and ninety eight degrees east. Take some time and get back in
deep. The viewer said, I see the intersecting whatever. These are,
aqueduct things, rounded bottom curb channels like roadbeds. I see pointed tops of
something on the horizon. Even the horizon looks funny and weird. It's like
a different misty, like it's really far away, very vague. The agent
asked him to move his location again to eighty degrees south and sixty four degrees
east. The viewer then reports, I see pyramids. Can't tell if it's
an overlay or not because they're different. The agent asks, okay, do
these pyramids have insides and outsides? The viewer looks and reports they have both.
They're huge. It's really an interesting concept them getting The agent then states,
I think he's losing his ability to move accurately, but he's attracted to
things that are interesting. If we're going to go with his own we're going
to take him ahead and explore what seems to be interesting to him rather and
move on the targets indicated here. The viewer then says it's shelters from storms
or something. The agent asks say that again. The viewer repeats, they're
like shelters from storms. The agent asks these structures you're seeing. The viewer
reports, yes, they're designed for that. The agent states, all right,
go inside one of these and find some activity to tell me about.
The viewer reports, different chambers, but they're almost stripped of any kind of
furnishings or anything. It's like strictly functional place for sleeping or that's not a
good word, hibernation of some sort. I get really rawmput I get really
raw inputs storms, savage storms, and sleeping through storms. The agent asks,
tell me about the ones who sleep through the storms. The viewer reports,
very tall, very large people, but they're thin. They looked thin
because of their height, and they dress like in oh hell, it's like
really light silk, but it's not the flowing type of clothing. It's cut
to fit. The agent asks, move closer to one of them and ask
them to tell you about themselves. The viewer reports, they're ancient people and
they're dying. It's past their time or age. They're very philosophical about it.
They're looking for a way to survive and they just can't. They can't
seem to get their way out. They can't seem to find their way out.
So they're hanging on while they look or wait for something to return or
something coming with an answer. The agent asks what is it they're waiting for.
The viewer reports, evidently was a group or a party of them that
went to find a new place to live. It's like I'm getting all kinds
of overwhelming input from the corruption of their environment. It's failing very rapidly,
and this group went somewhere like a long way away to find another place to
live. The agent asked what was the cause of the atmospheric disturbances or the
environmental disturbances. The viewer states, I see a picture. Oh hell,
it's almost a warp in God, this is difficult. It's going. Let's
see. It's like a globe that goes to a comet's tail or through a
river of something. But it's all very cosmic, like space pictures. The
agent asks, all right, now, before you leave this individual, ask
him if he knows who you are, and is there any way you can
help him in his present predicament. The viewer states, all I get is
they must just wait. Doesn't know who I am. I think he perceived
me as a hallucination or something. The agent asks, okay, when the
others left, these people were left waiting. When the others left, how
did they go? The viewer reports, I get an impression of I don't
know what the hell it is. It looks like the inside of a very
large boat, very rounded walls and shiny metal. The agent asks, go
along with them on their journey and find out where it is they go,
the viewer reports he gets an impression of a really crazy place with volcanoes and
gas pockets and strange plants. It's a very volatile place. It's very much
like going from the fry pan into the fire. Difference is there seems to
be a lot of vegetation or the other place did not have it, and
a different kind of storm. The agent asks, all right, it's time
to come back now to the sound of my voice into the present time,
right now, twenty second of May nineteen eighty four, and the sound of
my voice, move now back to the room, back to the sound of
my voice. Back further now to the sound of my voice on the twenty
second of May nineteen eighty four. You have to wonder did this group of
giants leave that planet and end up on Earth in the past, and by
the past, I mean time of interest approximately one million years BC, which
is what the index card had on it as a date. It could explain
some of what we already know. The rumor of a race of giants on
Earth has been speculated for years, and we cannot explain how some structures on
Earth were made. Pumapunku, which is a marvel, was built on a
time where tools would have been primitive if you listen to mainstream historians. But
this site was not built with sticks and rocks. It's precision cut stones that
were made with a technical finesse, and the precision is astounding. Not even
a razor blade can slide between the rocks. Some of these blocks were finished
in machine like quality and holes were drilled to perfection. The CIA has stated
that the program was terminated in the nineteen nineties due to a lack of evidence
supporting its effectiveness and producing actionable intelligence. However, some former participants in Supporters
of the program claim that it was successful to varying degrees. Like I said
before, it's rumored it was twenty percent successful. I find it hard believed
that the powers that be, if they knew that people could remote view specific
times and places, would not try to perfect it and continue to use it
for some purpose. Additionally, there have been reports of successful demonstrations of remote
viewing abilities by the Stargate program, including instances where remote viewers were able to
accurately describe hidden targets or objects that were not visible to them physically. These
claimed successes led to some within the intelligence community the view remote viewing as a
potentially valuable intelligence gathering tool. It is said that the Stargate program was terminated
in the nineteen nineties, and the CIA officially declassified and released some of the
program's documents to the public in nineteen ninety five. Conclusion, As we wrap
up this episode, we reflect on the intriguing story of Stargate and the CIA's
clandestine experiments with psychic spies. From its origins during the Cold War to its
controversial closure, the Stargate program remains a fascinating chapter in the history of government
research into paranormal phenomena. Join us next time as we uncover more strange and
mysterious stories from the annals of history. This episode was produced by the amazing
