The story so far:
MR: "Alien ET base under a mountain!"
Skeptic: "How will you demonstrate it's not just woo?"
MR: "With Psychic Mind Woo!"
Skeptic: How will you demonstrate Psychic Mind Woo is not woo?"
MR: "Nice try sonny. I'll demonstrate it with ... yet more Psychic Mind Woo!"
Skeptic: "Ah. So it's woo all the way down."
But sure. Just confirming this is in the correct forum.
"Project Stargate lasted for approximately 23 years, running from 1972 until its official closure by the US military in 1995; making it a roughly 23-year program."
Pretty sure the CIA in alliance with Stanford University wouldn't have devoted 23 years to something that didn't work. I mean how long does it take to realize that something is just "woo"? 6 months maybe?
"Remote Viewing performance across all three labs shows a remarkable consistency over many years: about 75% of what could be objectively evaluated proved to be correct. The evidence to back that statement comes in two parts, protocols in which a statistical outcome is the measure, and application protocols where probability statistics are only one aspect of assessment. Typically, in an archaeological project, the latter would include concept-by-concept analyses of such things as location, surface geography, subsurface or marine descriptive concepts, as well as detailed descriptions of conditions and objects found at the located site."--- https://psi-encyclopedia.spr.ac.uk/articles/remote-viewing
"Project Stargate had several notable moments, though its results were mixed and often controversial. Remote viewers were sometimes able to provide accurate descriptions of the locations of hostages or downed aircraft that had eluded conventional intelligence methods. In one instance, remote viewers reportedly helped locate a Soviet Tu-95 bomber that had crashed in Africa. They also provided descriptions of foreign military installations, particularly those of the Soviet Union, which were later confirmed by satellite imagery. These instances gave proponents of Stargate some evidence that remote viewing had practical value in intelligence work.
The bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, was also investigated by the remote viewers of Project Stargate (then operating under the name Project Sun Streak) in 1990, two years after the horrific event. Remote viewers were asked to replicate aspects of the bombing through psychic means. One subject described a “cylindrical shape” with something moving inside it, which matched the general description of the baggage container and the cassette player in which the bomb was hidden. However, while some of the descriptions resonated with the bombing details, the information was too vague and lacked enough specificity to be considered useful for intelligence purposes.
During Project Stargate, some remote viewers claimed to have visited not only distant locations on Earth but also other planets, as well as different points in time. One of the most famous accounts involved Ingo Swann, who reportedly described specific features of Jupiter during an experiment. His descriptions, given before the Voyager spacecraft arrived at the planet, were later found to align with scientific findings, such as the presence of Jupiter’s rings.
In addition to planetary exploration, some remote viewers alleged that they could perceive events from both the past and future. These included visions of ancient civilisations and future global disasters, though these claims were harder to substantiate and remain controversial. Critics argue that these “off-planet” and time-traveling visions were more speculative than grounded in actionable intelligence. Nonetheless, such claims added a layer of intrigue to the already mysterious and controversial Project Stargate."--- https://www.paranormalinsight.co.uk...e-u-s-government-s-secret-psychic-experiments
