STARGATE Project Documents Dataset

Overview

This dataset contains processed documents from the STARGATE project, a U.S. government-sponsored program focused on psychic phenomena research, including remote viewing, telepathy, and psychokinesis. The documents have been declassified and made available through the CIA's CREST (CIA Records Search Tool) database.

Dataset Contents

The dataset includes:

Processed text files: Extracted text from PDF documents, including OCR for scanned documents
Metadata: Structured information about each document, including:
- Document ID
- Classification level
- Dates mentioned
- Project names
- Named entities (persons, organizations, locations)
- Word and page counts
Categorization: Documents organized by type/content
Summary statistics: Overall dataset statistics and insights

Usage

This dataset can be used for:

Historical research on psychic phenomena studies
Text analysis of government research documents
Named entity recognition and relationship mapping
Document classification and categorization tasks
Linguistic analysis of scientific and administrative text

New Insights from Document Analysis

Scientific Validation of Remote Viewing

Early peer-reviewed publications in Nature (October 1974) documented controlled experiments with Uri Geller and Pat Price
Experiments utilized electrically shielded rooms to prevent conventional sensory information transfer
Double-blind protocols were implemented to eliminate experimenter bias
Publication in Nature represented a pivotal moment for parapsychological research in mainstream science

Soviet Research on Psychoenergetics

Soviet researchers developed theoretical frameworks connecting biological systems to electromagnetic phenomena
Proposed "laws of bio-electrical induction" to explain certain psychic abilities
Research attempted to provide physical mechanisms for phenomena like psychokinesis
Significant interest in developing "psychotropic apparatus" based on these principles

Technical Devices and Measurement Systems

Kirlian photography was used to visualize "energy fields" around living organisms
Technical parameters identified for optimal results (20-100kV pulses with specific durations)
Acupuncture points were studied as potential interfaces for psychoenergetic effects
Specialized equipment was developed to detect and measure telekinetic (PK) effects

Experimental Protocols and Results

SRI conducted 13 separate drawing experiments with Uri Geller over 7 days
Various target selection methods were used to prevent pre-experiment cueing
Targets included simple line drawings that the subject attempted to reproduce
Results showed apparent success in several trials where subjects reproduced target images without conventional sensory access

Institutional Involvement

CIA classification markings appear on many documents, confirming direct intelligence agency interest
SRI (Stanford Research Institute) conducted formal laboratory studies
Soviet research institutions were actively involved in parallel research
Academic journals like Nature were publishing some of these findings
