Project Stargate was a secret U.S. government program that began in the 1970s, aimed at investigating the potential of psychic phenomena, particularly remote viewing. This technique involved individuals attempting to perceive or describe details about distant or unseen targets using extrasensory perception. The project was conducted by various agencies, including the CIA and DIA, and was part of a broader interest in psychic research during the Cold War. Although some results were reported, the scientific validity of the findings was widely debated, leading to the project's eventual termination in the mid-1990s.
