DISTINCTION BETWEEN STAR GATE AND PREVIOUS EFFORT:
a.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
The previous effort,
SUN STREAK,
was
an in-house DIA activity
"with the objective of developing a
community-wide capability"
for remote viewing.
Billets for
this activity were authorized
for DIA in the FY 1986 GDIP
budget.
This developmental activity and the associated
special access compartment were terminated by the DIA/DR on
23 October
1990.
External research that was periodically
obtained
for this area was not included within the SUN
STREAK Special Access Program control.
b.
( S/NF/SG/LIMDIS/WN)
STAR GATE
is
a new dynamic approach
for pursuing this largely unexplored area of human
consciousness/subconsciousness interaction.
Its scope
is
comprehensive;
a wide range of phenomenological issues are
examined that include psychological,
physiological/
neurophysiological,
advanced physics
(new wave concepts),
and other leading-edge scientific areas.
Although broad-
based,
STAR GATE
is well grounded due to
its solid
independent scientific review base.
STAR GATE also has
a
strong focus on application research with an eye toward
implications
for U.S.
national security.
STAR GATE
is based
on
a dynamic style
in all
its endeavors,
especially in
its
pursuit of foreign work
in this
area.
c.
(S/NF/SG/LIMDIS)
It
is the intention of STAR GATE to
pursue
all aspects of this
area with high intensity,
drawing
on
its experienced
and well-qualified staff along with
appropriate external assistance,
in order to quantify and
evaluate all available classified and unclassified research.
By so doing,
discoveries
into how this phenomenon works may
be achievable.
