STAR GATE Project: An Overview

“STAR GATE PROJECT: AN OVERVIEW SHORT TITLE: DTI-S-1056-SL Date of Publication 30 April 1993 This document was prepared by the Directorate for Scientific and Technical Intelligence, Defense Intelligence Agency. REPRODUCTION REQUIRES APPROVAL OF ORIGINATOR OR HIGHER DOD AUTHORITY FURTHER DISSEMINATION ONLY AS DIRECTED BY DT OR HIGHER DOD AUTHORITY WARNING NOTICE-INTELLIGENCE SOURCES OR METHODS INVOLVED CLASSIFIED BY: DIA/DT DECLASSIFY ON: OADR NOT RELEASABLE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS”

- the cover carries no printed page number. 'SECRET' appears at head and foot; the foot reads 'NOT RELEASABLE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS / SECRET / STAR GATE', the last two lines partly overprinted by the release stamp. No author name, no signature, no distribution list on this page. The elisions in the quote are line-group breaks between separated blocks on the page, not omitted words: the blocks are transcribed in the order they appear top to bottom.

“(U) This document provides a broad overview of the three main activity areas, (foreign assessment, external research, in-house investigations) of the STAR GATE program. It is intended to provide background for the upcoming briefing on 5 May 1993 to the DEPSECDEF. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Primary focus of the STAR GATE effort is on anomalous phenomena, to include parapsychological and related biophysical interactions (e.g., telepathy, remote viewing, psychokinesis). Historical material and current activity updates are included, with back-up details in the appendix. This material supplements the briefing charts and related documents that are also supplied for background. (U) A discussion of terms and definitions useful for review of this area is in Appendix A.”

- the paper's printed number is the roman 'i', legible above the classification footer. Footer reads 'SECRET/NOFORN/WNINTEL/LIMDIS / STAR GATE'. The compartment marking 'SG' inside '(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)' is transcribed exactly as printed; the document nowhere expands it on the pages released here.

“CONTENTS PAGE PREFACE ................................ i I RECENT DIA DIRECTION ....................... 1 II BRIEF HISTORY OF PHENOMENOLOGICAL RESEARCH .. 2 III APPLICATION INVESTIGATIONS ................. 10 IV FOREIGN ASSESSMENTS ........................ 14 APPENDIX A. TERMINOLOGY ................................ A-1 B. SCIENCE PANEL REPORT ....................... B-1 [REDACTED]”

- the redaction here is a single solid black bar one line high, occupying the position of the appendix entry that would follow 'B.', with the marginal code 'SG1G' printed to its left. It is one bar; whether it conceals one entry or more than one cannot be told from the page. Column dots and spacing in the quote are approximate - the leader dots are reproduced but the horizontal alignment of the PAGE column cannot be preserved exactly in plain text. Page is marked UNCLASSIFIED at head and foot, unlike the body.

OVERALL DATA CORRELATIONS .............. 13 9. SPECIAL COUNTERNARCOTICS TEST-1990 ...... 15 [REDACTED]”

- the redaction is a large solid black rectangle, roughly five lines deep, immediately below entry 9, with the marginal code 'SG1A' to its left. Cannot tell how many entries it conceals. Column spacing in the quote is approximate; leader-dot counts are reproduced as printed but exact alignment cannot be preserved in plain text. Note that entry 9 here reads 'SPECIAL COUNTERNARCOTICS TEST-1990' whereas the figure itself (pdf 19) is headed 'SPECIAL U.S. ARMY COUNTERNARCOTICS TEST-1990' - the two titles differ on the page; neither has been corrected.

“(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) In the FY 1991 Defense Authorization Act, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) was identified as executive agent for initiating a new program to investigate parapsychological/ anomalous phenomena. A funding level of $2 million was authorized for DIA to undertake specific research and other activities relative to this activity. Objectives of this authorization were to enable a systematic and scientifically sound approach to the R&D effort, to permit wider and more systematic review of potential intelligence applications, and to assess foreign developments in this area. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Consequently, DIA developed a scientifically rigorous research and investigative program. ... This activity was formally established as a limited dissemination (LIMDIS) project early-on and given the official project name, STAR GATE.”

- the ellipsis marks material elided from the middle of the second paragraph (sentences describing basic and applied research projects, collection requirements and foreign data bases); the two halves are from the same paragraph and are not two separated sentences joined. 'parapsychological/ anomalous' carries the stray space after the slash exactly as typed. The paper's page number is overprinted by the release stamp at the foot and is recorded as null; nothing legible remains of it. The page nowhere says who in Congress or which committee originated the direction.

“(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) The FY 1992 Defense Appropriations Act provided DIA with an additional $2 million in R&D research funds to further enhance Project STAR GATE research and other activities. The Act stressed that DIA develop an even balance with foreign assessment, research, and operational activities. Foreign assessments should emphasize Russia, China, and other country efforts, and operational activity should identify specific users, to include special operational areas.”

- the preceding paragraph on the same page, marked '(S/NF)', states that 'an external contract for basic and applied research in this area was negotiated with the Systems Applications International Corporation (SAIC).' - the corporate name is given in that form here; it is not corrected. Printed page number overprinted by the release stamp: null. The two $2 million figures (FY 1991 and FY 1992) are the only funding figures anywhere in the released pages; there is no funding table, no fiscal-year series, and no total programme cost.

“(S/NF) The FY 1992 Act called for an effort to identify possible foreign weaponization activity in this area. This is a new requirement that is receiving high priority, and is approached from the viewpoint of unconventional or non-lethal weapons technology. (S/NF) The FY 1992 Act directed DIA to realign 10 civilian billets so that project staffing could be continued in order to satisfy all project objectives. It also called for a 2-year architecture plan that was subsequently prepared.”

- '10 civilian billets' is the only personnel figure given for the STAR GATE period; a separate figure of 12 billets appears later for the 1986 transfer of the predecessor unit (pdf 15). The printed page number at the foot is overprinted by the release stamp; a single digit resembling '2' shows through the word 'RDP96' but it is obscured, so it is recorded as null rather than inferred.

- this is a two-column chart (dates | organisation) and the column alignment cannot be preserved exactly in plain text; the spacing above is approximate and the dates and organisations are paired as printed. Three entries wrap onto a second printed line on the page (MIND SCIENCE FOUNDATION / SAN ANTONIO, TX; PSYCHOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LAB / PRINCETON, NJ; ANOMALIES RESEARCH LAB / PRINCETON UNIV, PRINCETON, NJ) and are shown here on one line each. The chart heading is 'KEY US RESEARCH EFFORTS' without full stops, where the List of Figures gives 'KEY U.S. RESEARCH EFFORTS' - as printed, uncorrected. The printed page number '3' appears rotated 90 degrees in the left margin and is unobstructed. 'PRESENT' is undated on the page.

“(U) Research findings in this area are sometimes not readily accepted, regardless of adequacy of experimental controls or integrity of the investigators. Consequently, a variety of views can be found concerning the same data. Some of these have had a retarding effect of the field and on funding. Part of the controversy lies in the difficulty of agreement between ‘proof-of-principle’ and ‘reasonable demonstration’ demands. ... (U) The Behavioral and Brain Sciences (1987) publication presented a balanced view of the research; some of the articles presented reasonable cases for ‘anomaly demonstration’. A National Research Council (NRC) report in 1988, however, took a negative stance in general, even though it reviewed a very limited aspect of the field. Recent publications (Statistical Science (1991) and Psychological Bulletin (1993)) provide good evidence that paranormal/parapsychological effects have in fact been demonstrated and are replicable.”

- 'a retarding effect of the field and on funding' is as printed; the apparent 'of' for 'on' has not been corrected. The ellipsis marks the elided final sentence of the first paragraph (a cross-reference to Figure 6); the two paragraphs are separately marked and are not run together. Journal titles are underlined on the page; underlining is not reproduced. Note that this page gives 'Psychological Bulletin (1993)' while Figure 6 (pdf 13) lists the same item as 'PSYCHOLOGY BULLETIN (PENDING)' - the two forms differ on the page and neither is corrected. Printed page number overprinted by the release stamp: null.

“RECENT REVIEWS * ‘THE ANOMALY CALLED PSI: RECENT RESEARCH AND CRITICISM’; BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES, NOVEMBER 1987 * ‘ENHANCING HUMAN PERFORMANCE’, NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL; 1988 * ‘REPLICATION AND META-ANALYSIS IN PARAPSYCHOLOGY’; STATISTICAL SCIENCE; VOL 6, No. 4; 1991 * ‘DOES PSI EXIST? REPLICABLE EVIDENCE FOR AN ANOMALOUS PROCESS OF INFORMATION TRANSFER’; PSYCHOLOGY BULLETIN (PENDING)”

- the bullets on the page are solid round dots; rendered here as asterisks. The quotation marks on the chart are typographic (slanted) and are transcribed as plain double quotes. The last item is shown as PENDING here but cited as 'Psychological Bulletin (1993)' in the body text on pdf 8; both forms are as printed. No authors are named for any of the four. Printed page number '9' appears rotated in the left margin, unobstructed.

- the viewer's description is printed in a ruled box across six lines; the line breaks are not reproduced, and the run of dots is transcribed as it appears (the document's own spacing of the ellipsis dots is irregular). 'URQUARDT CASTLE' is as printed; the conventional spelling differs and has not been corrected. The viewer is not named or numbered anywhere on the chart. The chart carries a small code '21PS6718.49JP' at lower right and a DIA seal at upper left. Printed page number '7' rotated in the left margin, unobstructed.

“(S/NF) Several important basic and application-related findings resulted from the later SRI investigations. These were: (1) distance/shielding do not effect results; (2) some people have an innate capability to perform well; (3) goal orientation is more important then psychological factors/states or the nature of the target; and (4) a potential correlation between remote viewing capability and certain brain area activity may exist. These findings were based on research procedures and techniques that received critical review by an expert nine-person Scientific Oversight Committee. The research approach and procedures were judged scientifically sound. ... (S/NF) The effort at SRI was discontinued in 1990. However, as a result of Congressional direction in FY 1991 for DIA, new research in this area was established with the Systems Applications International Corporation (SAIC), in Menlo Park, CA.”

- 'do not effect results' and 'more important then psychological factors' are as printed; neither has been corrected. The ellipsis marks two elided sentences at the end of that paragraph about procedural problems being resolved. Immediately after the heading 'III. (U) APPLICATION INVESTIGATIONS' on this page there is a large solid black redaction, roughly fifteen lines deep and spanning almost the full text width, with the marginal code 'SG1A' to its left; the section's surviving text resumes below it. The nine members of the Scientific Oversight Committee are not named on this page. Printed page number overprinted by the release stamp: null.

“(S/NF) In the early 1970's, U.S. researchers at SRI-International, Menlo Park, CA, also initiated research into phenomena understanding and application pursuits. This work, centering on ‘remote viewing (RV)’ came to the attention of the CIA. CIA then provided funding to SRI for continuing RV research. Then funding was discontinued in 1975; subsequent funding for RV investigation at SRI was provided by DIA and some of DIA's service support elements with occasional support from”

- the quote ends mid-sentence at the foot of the page exactly as the page does; the sentence continues on pdf 15 with 'various R&D organizations.' and is not joined here. The page does not say why CIA funding was discontinued in 1975, or who decided it. Printed page number overprinted by the release stamp: null.

“(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) The successful long distance SRI remote viewing experiments from the 1970's generated interest in operational pursuits with in-house government personnel. In the late 1970's, HQDA/INSCOM established a small unit for ‘development of a community capability' in RV. This unit was transferred to DIA in 1986 when 12 billets were authorized in the GDIP budget for this activity. A Special Access Program (SAP), SUN STREAK, was established in order to protect identity of the individuals and due to the nature of some of the projects examined.”

- the quotation around 'development of a community capability' opens with a double quote and closes with a single quote, exactly as typed; not corrected. This is the only predecessor programme name given anywhere in the released pages: SUN STREAK. Neither GRILL FLAME nor CENTER LANE appears anywhere in this document as released. The date of the INSCOM unit's establishment is given only as 'the late 1970's', with no month or year; the transfer to DIA is dated firmly to 1986. The page does not say who cancelled or renamed SUN STREAK, or when. Printed page number overprinted by the release stamp: null.

“(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) A variety of potential operational projects were investigated over the next few years; in 1989 the Military Intelligence Board (MIB) agreed to examine the utility of the project under field conditions involving counternarcotics projects. The MIB reviewed results of this test period in September, 1990. Subsequently, STAR GATE was established to expand on earlier efforts and to permit systematic and scientifically sound investigations to continue. ... (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Over-all, STAR GATE activity is based on both a concurrent research and application philosophy. It is recognized that formal scientific proof of this phenomena may yet be available, even though ‘anomaly demonstration’ may be granted in some academic areas.”

- 'formal scientific proof of this phenomena may yet be available' is as printed, with 'formal' underlined on the page; the sentence as typed is ambiguous and may be a typing error for 'may yet be unavailable' or 'may not yet be available' - it has NOT been corrected, and a later reader should treat its sense as uncertain rather than assume either reading. The ellipsis marks one elided closing sentence of the first paragraph about scientific procedures. This paragraph gives no month or day for the establishment of STAR GATE, only 'Subsequently'. Printed page number overprinted by the release stamp: null.

“PROJECTS WORKED 1986-1989 TOTAL PROJECTS = 192 [y-axis] PROJECTS 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 [legend] KNOWN / PARTIALLY KNOWN / NOT KNOWN [x-axis] S/T CT CN CI DOC CONTENTS PRED. PROJECT TYPE SECRET NOFORN”

- this page is a photographic reproduction of a projection slide printed white-on-black and is heavily degraded; the axis labels, legend and total are legible but the individual bar heights and their segment breakdowns are NOT reliably readable, so no per-category figures are transcribed. Bracketed labels above mark which part of the chart each line comes from and are my description, not text on the page. A DIA seal sits at upper left, the code 'SP5353.04' at lower right, and 'SECRET' at upper right is largely lost in the black. Printed page number '12' appears rotated in the left margin outside the black field, unobstructed.

“OVERALL DATA CORRELATIONS [y-axis] PERCENT OF DATA CORRELATION 0 20 40 60 80 [x-axis] S/T CT CN CI DOC. CONTENTS PRED. PROJECT TYPE LARGE SCALE (TEST FACILITY, AIRFIELD) SMALL SCALE (LASER TEST, ANTENNA DISH) SECRET NOFORN”

- as with Figure 7 this is a white-on-black slide reproduction; the axes and legend are legible but the plotted bar values are NOT reliably readable and none has been transcribed. Bracketed labels are my description of chart position, not page text. Code 'SP5353.02' at lower right. Printed page number '13' rotated in the left margin, unobstructed. - the chart gives no sample sizes and no definition of what counts as a 'correlation'.

“- Limited potential exists for detailed data: -- S/T parameters -- Precise locations - Low potential exists for predictive tasks - Individuals' performance: -- Correlates with project tasks -- Can improve with high demands/needs and strong goal orientation. (S/NF/SG/LIMDIS) Another review occurred in 1990. This followed from an earlier MIB recommendation that operational investigations focus on counternarcotics projects. Figure 9 shows results of this effort. Overall, about one third of all projects were judged to have provided data of good quality. This was based on evaluation of 32 projects. Although 104 projects were conducted, weather/operational constraints prevented follow-up for ground truth on the majority of those projects.”

- these bullets continue a list begun on the previous page (pdf 15), whose first item reads 'Potential applications exist for certain projects types:' with sub-items Counternarcotics (CN), Counterterrorism (CT), Counterintelligence (CI); the list is split across the two pages and is not joined here. The one-third figure is stated as a fraction of the 32 evaluated, not of the 104 conducted - the page's own arithmetic. Below the Section IV heading on this page there is a very large solid black redaction, roughly twenty lines deep, beginning mid-sentence after the words 'parapsychological activities' and running to the foot of the text block, with the marginal code 'SG1A' appearing BOTH to the left and to the right of it. Because the block begins partway across one line and then squares off, it cannot be told whether this is one redaction or two adjacent ones. Printed page number overprinted by the release stamp: null.

“SPECIAL U.S. ARMY COUNTERNARCOTICS TEST-1990 ON-SITE SUPPORT TO JOINT TASK FORCE (JTF) 395 TOTAL SESSIONS 104 OPERATIONAL PROJECTS 72 NOT EVALUATED WEATHER TIMING OTHER 32 EVALUATED [pie chart] STRONG CORRELATION 11 / SOME CORRELATION 10 / NO CORRELATION 11 32 EVALUATED PROJECTS SECRET NOFORN LIMDIS”

- the page is a mottled, heavily degraded photographic reproduction; the wording and all five numbers were confirmed by eye but the reader should know the background noise is severe. The bracketed '[pie chart]' label is my description of where those three values sit, not text on the page - the three numbers are printed inside the wedges and the labels outside them, so the pairing of number to label follows the wedge each number sits in. The bullets are round dots at two indent levels, rendered here as indentation. Code 'S6718.11RVG' at lower right. Chart title here differs from the List of Figures entry (pdf 4); as printed. Printed page number '15' rotated in the left margin, unobstructed. - 11 of 32 showing no correlation is stated on the chart but is not remarked on in the body text.

“Next 10 Page(s) In Document Exempt”

- the sheet is blank but for this sentence, the marginal code 'SG1A' at upper left, the release stamp at head and foot, and a broad diagonal black bar drawn corner to corner. No printed page number. The withheld ten pages fall between the start of Section IV (FOREIGN ASSESSMENTS, printed page 14) and the Appendix divider, so Section IV survives here only as its heading, one introductory sentence and a redaction.

“(U) The investigations described in this report involve a class of human capabilities generally referred to as parapsychological or paranormal phenomena. There are two general types, informational and energetic. (U) Informational aspects include the ability to describe remote or concealed data without the use of known sensory systems. This aspect is generally referred to as remote viewing (RV) or extrasensory perception (ESP). Another term, anomalous cognition (AC), is also currently used by researchers in this field. The ability to predict future events is usually referred to as precognition. (U) The energetic aspect refers to the mental ability to influence material or biological systems via unknown mechanisms. This aspect is sometimes referred to as psychokinesis (PK). (U) Soviet researchers generally use the term ‘psychoenergetics’ to identify this research area. Chinese researchers prefer the terms ‘extraordinary human body functions’ or ‘somatic science’ for similar functions. (U) A variety of other terms have, and probably will, be used to describe specific aspects of the basic phenomena.”

- Appendix A is marked UNCLASSIFIED at head and foot, and is quoted here complete. The printed page number 'A-1' at the foot is partly overprinted by the release stamp but both characters remain legible. - the appendix defines the phenomena but nowhere defines the compartment marking 'SG' used throughout the body text.

“APPENDIX B SCIENCE PANEL REPORT SRI STUDIES IN REMOTE VIEWING: A PROGRAM REVIEW 1 MARCH 1984”

- this page and the rest of Appendix B are typed in a different typeface from the body of the overview (a lighter, narrower typewriter face) and are reproduced from an older original; the SECRET markings here are faint and broken. The foot carries 'WARNING NOTICE - SENSITIVE INTELLIGENCE SOURCES AND METHODS INVOLVED' partly overprinted by the release stamp. The body text at pdf 14 dates this review to 'the 1983-1984 time-frame'; the report itself is dated 1 March 1984.

“For the past eleven years, a small group headed by Dr. H. Puthoff has sought evidence that would support the case for extrasensory perception. In recent years, the focus of these studies has centered on ‘remote viewing’ by subjects claiming to visualize the scene at a point beyond the field of vision, and in many cases, in a remote part of the world, typically not known to them by actual experience. The implication of success in remote viewing, if it exists, are revolutionary; since as described to the review team, it is manifestly incompatible with currently accepted scientific principles. ... The evidence shown to us is too impressive to dismiss as mere coincidence. Certain similarities between the SRI and Princeton results, obtained in very different circumstances by unrelated investigators, are particularly compelling.”

- 'Dr. H. Puthoff' is given with initial only, no forename, and appears in this spelling throughout Appendix B; not normalised. 'The implication of success ... are revolutionary' is as printed (singular subject, plural verb); not corrected. The ellipsis marks two elided paragraphs' worth of material between the two quoted passages - they are NOT adjacent on the page and have not been joined. Dr. R. Jahn is named later on the same page in connection with the Princeton work, again with initial only.

“The briefings strongly emphasized the investigator's ability to train others in their techniques. This training program has developed over the past five years through the dedicated participation of Mr. Ingo Swann. His diverse talents have been devoted to self-training which he now feels competent to impart to others. Approximately a dozen trainees have completed instruction to various levels of claimed competence. An important aspect of Swann's contributions relates to his dissection of separate elements in the perceptual process. Under his guidance, the technique centers around the use of a coordinate method to describe the remote location, expressed in degrees of latitude and longitude. It is here that any attempt at a rational understanding of the perceptual process is lost.”

- 'Approximately a dozen' is the page's own hedge and is the only trainee count given. The panel continues on the following page that repeated attempts to 'elicit a rational basis for this procedure' were 'uniformly unsuccessful' and that the investigators 'were not disposed to query the mechanistic basis of its applications' - not joined to the quote above. Mr. Swann is described here in his professional role as a trainer and subject; nothing on this page concerns his health or private life.

“Exploration of the phenomenon should not be restricted to specific applications. Rather, remote viewing should be studied as a scientific research program aimed at establishing the existence or non-existence of the phenomenon. In this way, a comprehensive and credible evaluation of the phenomenon should be available from continuing effort over the next five to ten years. The potential impact of this phenomenon is clearly profound. Therefore, a mandatory requirement would be the existence of independent but related programs conducted by others, with the free exchange of techniques and results. Only through independent reproducibility can a phenomenon so unconventional ever become accepted. It is our conclusion that Dr. Puthoff's team warrants cautious continued fiscal support, and that the research should be conducted as much as possible in an open unclassified mode so that its reproducibility and accuracy can be independently verified by others. W. ROSS ADEY DONALD M. KERR F. ZACHARIASEN 1 March 1984”

- each of the three names is followed on the page by an ink signature on a ruled line: 'W Ross Adey', 'Donald M. Kerr' and a third signature reading approximately 'F. Zach...' which is cut short by the flourish and is not fully legible; the typed names are what is transcribed. The date '1 March 1984' is typed below the third signature. The three panel members are named only here. - the recommendation that the work be conducted 'in an open unclassified mode' sits inside a document that is itself SECRET/NOFORN/LIMDIS with a special-access compartment, and the 1993 overview nowhere comments on that tension.

“Next 2 Page(s) In Document Exempt”

- identical in form to pdf 20: blank sheet, single sentence, broad diagonal black bar, release stamp at head and foot, but the marginal code here is 'SG1G' rather than 'SG1A'. No printed page number. These two withheld pages sit where the redacted third appendix entry from the Contents page (pdf 3, also coded SG1G) would fall; that is an observation about matching marginal codes and position, not an established link. The final sheet (pdf 29) is blank but for 'SECRET' at the head and 'SECRET/NOFORN/LIMDIS/WNINTEL / STAR GATE' at the foot - note the caveat order differs from the body pages, which read SECRET/NOFORN/WNINTEL/LIMDIS.
