This episode opens the declassified trail behind America’s Cold War psychic spy program and the Soviet push into “psychotronics.” From Stanford Research Institute to Fort Meade, from Ingo Swann’s remote viewing sessions to Nina Kulagina’s alleged psychokinesis, we follow the paper, the money, and the fear that kept Project Stargate alive for two decades.
You’ll hear how Soviet rumors of telepathy and mind control triggered a U.S. response, how SRI with Targ and Puthoff tested Uri Geller and helped formalize remote viewing, how Army and DIA units operated under names like Grill Flame, Sun Streak, and Stargate, why case studies linked to Joseph McMoneagle and Angela Ford still divide analysts, what the 1995 CIA–AIR evaluation meant by “anomalous cognition,” and how belief, ambiguity, and secrecy bled into modern folklore.
