Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002800180001-2 SECRET (U) PREFACE: (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. i SECRET /NOFORN/WNINTEL/LIMDIS STAR GATE Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002800180001-2

Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002800180001-2 SECRET (U) Results from these efforts were publicized and led toa greater awareness of some of the psychological factors that are conducive to enhancing parapsychological effects. The most _. productive research team (Miamonides Medical Center) eventually moved to the Princeton, N.J. area and formed the Psychophysical Research Laboratory. New work also began in an academic setting when Dr. Robert Jahn, Dean of the Aerospace Science Department, established a small parapsychological team at Princeton University, N.J. His effort continues to this day and explores psychokinesis, precognition, and remote viewing. (U) However, none of the early research examined application potential of this area, and very little of it examined distance effects of the phenomena. (U) Some of the early parapsychological effort (i.e., remote viewing) at SRI International and at Princeton University did, however, examine the potential for describing geographic targets at various distances. Figure 2 and Figure 3 are San Francisco Bay area targets that showed a remote viewer could produce reasonable overall description of features at near-by geographic locations. Some experiments showed that a remote viewer could also describe the interior contents of target facilities. These descriptions were usually reliable when only shape/form correlations and not analysis/interpretations were considered. Figure 4 and Figure 5 are examples of Dr. Jahn's remote viewing investigations where long distance (thousand of miles) and time factors (prediction, past event description) were explored. (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. A listing of recent publications that illustrate various perspectives on this research is shown on Figure 6. (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.
