🧠 CIA遙視計劃Stargate & UFO — 心靈能力與外星智慧嘅邊界

If someone told you that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) spent over 20 years and millions of dollars studying a group of people who claimed they could use “telepathy” to see things thousands of kilometers away, would you think they were crazy?

But this is not a science fiction plot; it’s something that really happened — Project Stargate.

From the early 1970s to 1995, the CIA, U.S. Army Intelligence, and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) jointly operated an extremely sensitive program dedicated to studying Remote Viewing — using extrasensory perception to “see” distant or even hidden targets. The most shocking part is that one viewer accurately described rings around Jupiter when all of humanity was completely unaware of them. And in 2025, someone even revealed that the U.S. military is still using “psychic abilities” to recall UFOs.

Is the line between this psychic ability and extraterrestrial intelligence really that blurry?

The Cold War’s “Psychic Arms Race”

To talk about Project Stargate, we first need to look at the Cold War background.

In the 1970s, the U.S. intelligence community received reports that the Soviet Union was conducting large-scale research into “Psychotronics”, with an annual budget of up to 300 million rubles. The Soviets claimed they had successfully used psychic abilities for intelligence gathering and even influencing enemy thoughts. This news made the U.S. uneasy — if the Soviets truly mastered psychic weapons, America’s intelligence advantage would vanish.

So the CIA decided to act. In 1970, they began funding an experiment called SCANATE, led by two scientists from Stanford Research Institute (SRI), Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff, to study whether humans could actually use consciousness to perceive distant targets. The results surprised CIA高层 — some test subjects were able to describe details of targets that even the researchers didn’t know.

In 1972, this program was officially upgraded, becoming the world-famous Project Stargate.

The Structure of Project Stargate

Project Stargate was not a simple laboratory project; it was an intelligence operation with a complete organizational structure. Over time, the program underwent several name changes and transfers:

Codename	Period	Responsible Agency
SCANATE	1970–1972	CIA / SRI
Grill Flame	1979–1983	U.S. Army
CENTER LANE	1983–1985	INSCOM (Army Intelligence)
SUN STREAK	1985–1995	DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency)
Stargate	Final Name	CIA Coordination

At its peak, the program had 15 to 20 full-time personnel, including 3 full-time remote viewers, with an annual budget of approximately $500,000. They developed various remote viewing techniques, including:

Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV): Locking onto a target using only map coordinates
Extended Remote Viewing (ERV): Using a meditative state for deeper perception
Written Remote Viewing (WRV): Acquiring information through writing

These viewers were assigned numerous intelligence tasks, including locating terrorist hideouts, detecting enemy military facilities, and even locating alien bases.

👽 The Most Shocking Case: Ingo Swann’s Jupiter Rings

When it comes to the most chilling case in Project Stargate, it has to be Ingo Swann’s prediction about Jupiter.

Ingo Swann was a New York artist with no formal astronomical training. But he showed astonishing talent in remote viewing and was invited by Targ and Puthoff to join the SRI research.

On April 27, 1973, Swann conducted a remote viewing experiment at SRI, targeting — Jupiter.

In the lab, Swann closed his eyes and described what he “saw”:

“There are crystals high in the atmosphere, they are sparkling… maybe the textures are crystal bands, like the rings around Saturn, but not as far out, very close to the atmosphere. I dare say, they will reflect radio waves.”

At the time, the astronomical community had no idea Jupiter had rings. Textbooks, diagrams, all sources said Jupiter had no rings. Swann not only said there were rings, but he also drew a sketch — rings close to Jupiter’s surface, a thin layer.

6 years later, in 1979, NASA’s Pioneer-10 flew past Jupiter, and the data it sent back shocked the world — Jupiter indeed had rings! And it was a very thin ring, close to the atmosphere, strikingly matching Swann’s description.

This case remains one of the most frequently cited “success stories” in remote viewing research. If Swann was just guessing, what are the odds of hitting an astronomical fact unknown to all of humanity? Mathematically, it’s close to zero.

The Potential Link Between Project Stargate and UAP

Within the secret task list of Project Stargate, there was an extremely sensitive category — UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) investigation.

Declassified documents show that multiple remote viewers were asked to perceive the following targets:

Ancient structures on Mars
Bases on the far side of the Moon
Hidden locations of “non-human intelligence”
Crash sites of suspected alien technology

The most intriguing part is the unusually serious attitude the CIA and military took towards these tasks. If top officials completely disbelieved in the existence of UAPs, why would they use national-level intelligence resources to remote view alien bases?

Some researchers speculate that part of Project Stargate’s purpose was to establish a communication channel between human consciousness and non-human intelligence. If alien technology truly transcends purely physical laws, then we might need methods beyond the physical to understand them — psychic abilities could be the key.

Why is the Military So Interested in “Psi Abilities”?

At this point, you might ask: The military is one of the most rational institutions in the world, why would they spend so much money researching psychic powers?

There are several layers to the answer:

1. The Soviet Threat

During the Cold War, the U.S. couldn’t afford to ignore any technology that might change the balance of power. If the Soviets had truly developed “psi weapons,” the U.S. had no reason not to pursue them.

2. Intelligence Value

If remote viewing actually worked, it could do things satellites couldn’t — see through underground facilities, predict enemy intentions, and even influence their decisions. This value far exceeded the $500,000 annual cost.

3. The Practicality of UAP Research

This is the most interesting point — if the operating principle of UAPs involves consciousness or psychic dimensions, then studying psi abilities is the first step in deciphering alien technology. In recent years, more and more UAP researchers believe that consciousness may be the key to understanding non-human intelligence.

The CIA’s 1995 evaluation report was conducted by the American Institutes for Research (AIR). Psychologist Jessica Utts found that remote viewing results were 5-15% above random probability, but another evaluator, Ray Hyman, believed there was insufficient evidence to prove any practical value. The final conclusion was — “not validated as an effective intelligence tool,” and the program was officially terminated in 1995.

But termination doesn’t mean the secret research stopped.

🔥 2025 Jacob Barber Leak: Military Uses “Psionic” to Recall UFOs

In 2025, a shocking leak brought the concepts of Project Stargate back into the public eye.

Jacob Barber (also known as Jake Barber), a retired U.S. Air Force helicopter pilot, claimed to have participated in an extremely classified UAP recovery program. His revelations stunned the entire UFO research community.

Barber said the military has a specialized team called “Psionics” — individuals with innate “psychic gifts” or “time-transcending perception abilities.” Their tasks are:

Summon UFOs to land
Communicate with non-human intelligence
Use meditative states to guide UAP landings
Participate in recovery operations of crashed UAPs

He described a specific recovery operation: one night, the team received a deployment order targeting an egg-shaped UAP. When he touched that object, he experienced extremely intense emotional reactions, even feeling a telepathic connection with the non-human intelligence inside the object. He firmly believes this egg-shaped UAP was deliberately summoned by the psionic team using consciousness, not an accidental crash.

His colleague, Don Paul Bales, a special forces member, also corroborated this account, saying he had personally witnessed the psionic team demonstrating inexplicable psychic abilities.

Barber said that after the incident, a high-level UAP investigation team confirmed the recovered object was non-human made, and because of this success, it changed the entire communication and recovery procedures.

In an interview with NewsNation reporter Ross Coulthart, he stated he was willing to “100% testify under oath” about the secrets he had kept for over 10 years.

This leak perfectly echoes the essence of Project Stargate — if the CIA in the 1970s already knew psychic abilities could detect extraterrestrial information, then it’s not surprising that the military in 2025 uses the same technology to “recall” UFOs.

Reflection: The Boundaries of the Mind

From Ingo Swann using consciousness to depict Jupiter’s rings unknown to humanity in 1973, to the CIA officially terminating Project Stargate in 1995, to Jacob Barber’s 2025 leak about the military using “psionics” to recall UFOs — this timeline spans half a century, but the core question has never changed:

How far can human consciousness actually go?

If the operation of UAPs is truly related to consciousness, then our understanding of reality may still be at a very primitive stage. The CIA spent 20 years studying this issue, ultimately closing the door on the surface. But according to the 2025 leak, that door may never have truly closed — it just moved to a more hidden room.

Do you believe psychic abilities can connect with extraterrestrial intelligence? Or do you think all of this is just coincidence and misunderstanding?

No matter which side you’re on, one thing is certain: This universe is far stranger than what the textbooks say.
