Project SCANATE

1972

Codename ("scan by coordinate") for the CIA's initial 1972 remote-viewing project at Stanford Research Institute - the birth of the U.S. government's psychic-spying effort. Launched after Ingo Swann demonstrated coordinate remote viewing under Hal Puthoff; Pat Price became an early star viewer. It grew into the two-decade Grill Flame / Star Gate program.
