+ # 🧠 STARGATE: CIA Remote Viewing Archive (Raw PDFs + Metadata)
19
+
20
+ **STARGATE** is the most comprehensive open-access archive of declassified CIA documents related to **psychic research**, **remote viewing (RV)**, and **anomalous cognition**. This dataset consolidates over **12,000 scanned PDF files**, drawn from decades of classified government programs designed to investigate and operationalize extrasensory perception (ESP) in intelligence-gathering contexts.
21
+
22
+ These include, but are not limited to:
23
+
24
+ - **Grill Flame** (US Army + DIA)
25
+ - **Center Lane** (NSA/Army Intelligence)
26
+ - **Sun Streak** (precursor to Stargate)
27
+ - **STARGATE Program** (DIA, 1991–1995)
28
+
29
+ This release features the **original scanned documents** in PDF format, along with per-file metadata for page count, processing timestamps, and preparation for OCR and further analysis.

77
+ 🔬 Research Context
78
+ This archive reflects the U.S. government’s decades-long scientific and operational interest in:
79
+
80
+ Remote viewing (describing a hidden location or object without physical access)
81
+
82
+ Precognition (perceiving future events)
83
+
84
+ Psychokinesis (mind influencing matter)
85
+
86
+ ESP training and evaluation protocols
87
+
88
+ Intelligence-gathering attempts using anomalous cognition
89
+
90
+ Internal reports on experimental validation, critique, and ethics
91
+
92
+ The dataset includes actual remote viewing transcripts, target descriptions, scientific methodology reports, and responses to academic criticism — particularly rebuttals to well-known skeptics such as Dr. Ray Hyman.
93
+
