Project Stargate: Weaponizing Telepathy in the Cold War
Long before anyone was making movies about staring at goats, the US government panicked over a rumor and spent 20 years and millions of dollars trying to win a "psychic arms race" against the Soviet Union.
In this episode, we are tracking the absolutely unhinged history of Project Stargate and the CIA's remote viewing program. We cover:
The Psychic Submarine: How a remote viewer accurately sketched the largest Soviet submarine in human history (the Typhoon-class) completely blind, and earned a secret Legion of Merit medal for it.
The African Jungle Crash: The time a remote viewer found a missing Soviet TU-22 bomber with top-secret codes just by pointing at a random grid square on a map of Africa—a story completely confirmed by President Jimmy Carter.
Platform 9 3/4: Why Major General Albert Stubblebine, the man commanding 16,000 US Army Intelligence soldiers, repeatedly gave himself bloody noses by sprinting face-first into his office wall trying to phase through the drywall.
The 1984 Mars Mission: The 100% real, declassified CIA transcript where government officials paid a man to astral project to Mars in 1,000,000 BC to interview a dying race of tall aliens in tight clothing.
In the studio: Tom pulls up the actual declassified government documents to prove he isn't making this up , and Travis completely loses his mind trying to figure out why ancient Martian aliens speak English.
