CONSPIRACY: The Stargate Project

Project Stargate was the codename for the CIA’s secret study into how psychic powers could be weaponized for security purposes from the early ‘70s to the mid-‘90s. Basically, was it possible to gather intelligence and view places or objects at a great distance through psychic means? The most astonishing thing about the 23-year program? It worked.
