| # 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 | |
| ## Categories | |
| Documents are categorized into the following groups: | |
| - **Remote Viewing**: Sessions, protocols, and results | |
| - **Psychokinesis**: Experiments on mind-matter interaction | |
| - **Telepathy**: Research on thought transference | |
| - **Precognition**: Studies on predicting future events | |
| - **Research Reports**: Formal research documentation | |
| - **Experiment Results**: Data and outcomes from experiments | |
| - **Training Materials**: Protocols and instructional content | |
| - **Administrative**: Budgets, personnel, and management documents | |
| - **Correspondence**: Letters, memos, and communications | |
| - **Historical**: Background and contextual information | |
| - **Other**: Miscellaneous documents | |
| ## 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 | |
