In September 1995, the US military both publicly revealed and shut down Project Stargate, a 23-year, $20m (£12m) program of psychic spying, or remote viewing. The project began in 1972 after the CIA became concerned by reports that the Soviet Union was spending substantial resources on what it called "psychotronics" - or research into potential military applications of psychic and fringe-science phenomena. This is the U.S. government's foray into psychic spying.
