Declassified: The CIA Sent A Man To Mars in the year 1 Million BC, What Did He See?

Welcome to Strange History, where we explore the weird and wonderful history that has shaped the world into what it is today. Strange History is proudly part of the Dark Calf podcast network hosted on Spreaker. Go check out all the amazing podcasts there. True to season two, as we promise, we delve into space science and unexplained history or sometimes explained but is it the truth? This week I dove into some declassified files of the CIA. It felt weird reading these documents. It makes you wonder what other strange and wondrous things CIA looks into.

But this episode is about something called Stargate. Stargate was the CIA's secret experiment with psychic spies. If you've seen the movie The Men Who Stare at Goats, it's the same concept. Stargate was a top secret program conducted by the Central Intelligence Agency that involved psychic spies and the exploration of remote viewing, telepathy, and other paranormal phenomena. It was also considered a secret US Army unit, and it was established in nineteen seventy eight at Fort Meade in Maryland to investigate a psychic phenomena in the military and domestic intelligence applications could happen, meaning could we spy on someone without ever leaving a chair in a room thousands of miles away and in some cases in the past.

The project and its precursors and sister projects originally went by various code names Gondola, Wish, Stargate, Grill, Flame, Center, Lane Projects, CF, Sunstreak, Skin eight until nineteen ninety one, when they were consolidated and re christened as the Stargate Project. What is the origins of Stargate? We start by tracing the origins of Stargate back to the Cold War era, when the US government became intrigued by reports of Soviet research into psychic abilities for military purposes. In the nineteen seventies, the CIA launched its own psychic research program under the codenamed Stargate, led by scientists such as doctor Hall put Off and Russell targ Let's talk a little bit about some of the psychic spies that were the stars of this program.

The fascinating individuals who participated in the Stargate program include remote viewers such as Inghoswan, Pat Price, and Hella Hammett. These individuals claimed to have the ability to perceive remote locations, gather intelligence through extrasensory perception ESP, and even engage in psychic spying on behalf of the CIA. Delving into the secret mission was mind blowing. I will likely do another episode at some point because there is just so much information. Some of the classified missions and experiments conducted under the Stargate program included attempts to remote view hidden military installations, locate hostages, gather intelligence on foreign adversaries, and even search for extraterrestrial life on other planets.

Here are some better explained examples with the secret missions undertaken by the Stargate program. Remote viewing of foreign military installations. One of the primary objectives of the Stargate program was to use remote viewing to gather intelligence on foreign military installations. They were tasked with remotely viewing secret military bases, weapons facilities, and other sensitive sites of foreign adversaries to gather information on their capabilities and their activities. They worked on hostage locations and rescue psychic spies, or tasks with remotely viewing the whereabouts of kidnapped individuals such as American citizens held captive in foreign countries and an effort to aid in their rescue gathering intelligence on foreign leaders.

Psychic spies in the Stargate program were legedly used to gather intelligence on foreign leaders. They were tasked with remotely viewing the activities, intentions, and decision making processes of foreign politicians, military leaders, and other high ranking officials in order to gain insight into their plans and strategies. Search for extra terrestrial life. The Stargate program reportedly extended its remote viewing experiment beyond Earth, with psychic spies tasked with attempting to remote view other planets and search for signs of extraterrestrial life.

This included attempts to gather intelligence on potential alien civilizations or advanced technologies on other celestial bodies. They also assisted in law enforcement. The CIA allegedly used the Stargate program to support law enforcement agencies and solving crimes. Psychic spies were reportedly employed to remotely view crime scenes, locate missing persons, and gather information related to ongoing investigations. Counterintelligence and espionage. The Stargate program was also reportedly used for counterintelligence and espionage purposes.

Psychic spies were tasked with remote viewing the activity of foreign spies, detecting covert operations and uncovering hidden information related to the nation's security threats. Let's talk a little bit about the most fascinating piece of evidence that I personally have seen in these declassified fials. This took place on May second, in nineteen eighty four. An index card and a sealed envelope was placed in front of a remote viewer. Keep in mind, the viewers were never given any information about their task.

The CIA did not want the information tainted by any information the viewer learned. They also never knew the outcome of their viewing session. They never wanted the viewers to feel failure or pressure, knowing they had been wrong in the past. I did read somewhere that the viewers had a combined success ratio of twenty percent. I'm not sure how true that is. So this sealed envelope had upon it geographic coordinates. The sealed envelope was given to the subject immediately prior to the interview.

The envelope was not opened until after the interview. Keep us in mind. And the envelope was a three by five index card with the following information The planet Mars time of interest approximately one million years BC. How they did this experiment. They gave the viewer specifically selected geographic coordinates verbally during the interview. I'm going to read the transcript from the session. This is from the agent that was performing the interview. All right, now, using the information in the envelope I've provided exclusively, focusing your attention.

Now, using the information in the envelope, focus on forty point eighty nine degrees north, nine point fifty five degrees west. The viewer went on to say, I want to say, it looks like, I don't know. It sort of looks like kind of got an oblique view of a pyramid, a pyramid form. It's very high, it's yellowish, okay, oprah colored. The agent running the session asked the viewer to move in time to the time indicated in the envelope provided to you and describe what's happening. The viewer stated, I'm tracking severe, severe clouds, more like a dust storm.

Ah, it's a geological problem. Seems like it's just a minute. I've got to iron this out. It's really weird. The agent stated, just report your raw perception. At this time, you're still early in the session. The viewer stated, I'm looking at an after effect of a major geological problem. The agent asked the viewer to go back to the time before the geological problem. The viewer said, total difference. It's before there's no oh, I don't know. Oh. Hell, it's like a mountain of dirt appearing and then disappearing.

When you go before, I see large flat surfaces, very smooth angles, walls. They're really large, so I mean they're megalithic. The agent stated, all right, this period in time now before the geologic event. Look around this area and see if you can find any activity. The viewer said, I'm seeing it's like a perception of a shadow of people, very tall, thin, It's only a shadow. It's as if they were there and they're not not there anymore. The agent asked the viewer go back to a period of time when they are there.

The viewer said, it's like I get a lot of static on a line and everything it's breaking up all the time, very fragmentary pieces. The agent asked, just report the raw data. Don't try to put things in order and together. Just report the raw data. The viewer said, I just keep seeing very large people. They appear thin and tall, but they're very large, wearing some kind of a strange clothing. The agent then said, all right, now, holding in this time period, I want you to move from your physical location in space to another physical location.

But in this time period, move now to forty six point forty five north and three hundred and fifty three point twenty two east. The viewer did, and said he was deep inside of a cavern. Not a cavern, more like a canyon. I'm looking up up the sides of a steep wall that seemed to go on forever, and there's a structure. It's like the wall of the canyon itself has been carved out again. I'm getting very large structure, no intricacies, huge sections of smooth stone. The Asian asked, do the structures have insides and outsides?

The viewers said, yes, they're very I don't know, it's like a rabbit warren corners of rooms. They're really huge. I don't feel like I'm standing in one. It's just really huge. Perception is that this ceiling is very high, walls are very wide. The agent states, yes, that would be correct. All right, I'd like you to move now to another location nearby. All right, move from this point in time to forty five point eighty six north and three hundred and fifty four point one east. The viewers said, it appears to be the end of a very large road, and there's a marker that's very large.

I keep getting Washington Monument overlay. It's like an obelisk.

The viewer then moves the agent to a new location, thirty five point twenty six north, two thirteen point twenty four east. The viewer states, it's like I'm in the middle of a huge circular basin of a range of mountains circle all the way around, very ragged, ragged mountains, very tall basins, very very large. The scale seems to be off or something. It's just really big. Everything is just really big. The agent said, I understand the problem. Just continue. The viewer then stated, I see just a right angle corner to something, but that's all.

I don't see anything else. The agent said, Okay, let's move into a little different place, very close. Move from the point you are now in this time thirty four point six north, two thirteen point nine east. The viewer reported a cluster of squares up and down. It's like you want to make them square anyway. They're almost flushed with the ground and it's like they're connected something very white or reflects light. The agent asked, what's your position of observation as you look at this thing and it reflects light.

The viewer said, I'm amid oh oblique left angle. The sun is weird. The agent said, look back down at the ground now, and we're going to move just a little bit from this place thirty four point fifty seven north two and twelve point twenty two east, very close by their viewer reports, it's like I can just perceive like a radiating pattern of some kind. It's like some really strange intersecting kind of road that are dug into valleys, you know where a road is just a little below the edge. The agent said, tell me about the shapes of these things.

The viewer reported, they're like neat little channels cut out. They're very deep. It's like the road went down.

The agent states, Okay, now I have noticed electrically you're nulled out a bit, and I want you to stay deep and recapture your focus here.

The viewer expresses how hard this is. It's really tough. It seems like it's just very sporadic. The agent asks, I realize that it's very important that you maintain your focus. I have a movement exercise for you. This is some considerable distance away, So holding the focus in time, remember the focus in time that you had before, and moving out of fifteen degrees north one hundred and ninety eight degrees east. Take some time and get back in deep. The viewer said, I see the intersecting whatever.

These are, aqueduct things, rounded bottom curb channels like roadbeds. I see pointed tops of something on the horizon. Even the horizon looks funny and weird. It's like a different misty, like it's really far away, very vague. The agent asked him to move his location again to eighty degrees south and sixty four degrees east. The viewer then reports, I see pyramids. Can't tell if it's an overlay or not because they're different. The agent asks, okay, do these pyramids have insides and outsides? The viewer looks and reports they have both.

They're huge. It's really an interesting concept them getting The agent then states, I think he's losing his ability to move accurately, but he's attracted to things that are interesting. If we're going to go with his own we're going to take him ahead and explore what seems to be interesting to him rather and move on the targets indicated here. The viewer then says it's shelters from storms or something. The agent asks say that again. The viewer repeats, they're like shelters from storms. The agent asks these structures you're seeing.

The viewer reports, yes, they're designed for that. The agent states, all right, go inside one of these and find some activity to tell me about. The viewer reports, different chambers, but they're almost stripped of any kind of furnishings or anything. It's like strictly functional place for sleeping or that's not a good word, hibernation of some sort. I get really rawmput I get really raw inputs storms, savage storms, and sleeping through storms. The agent asks, tell me about the ones who sleep through the storms.

The viewer reports, very tall, very large people, but they're thin. They looked thin because of their height, and they dress like in oh hell, it's like really light silk, but it's not the flowing type of clothing. It's cut to fit. The agent asks, move closer to one of them and ask them to tell you about themselves. The viewer reports, they're ancient people and they're dying. It's past their time or age. They're very philosophical about it. They're looking for a way to survive and they just can't.

They can't seem to get their way out. They can't seem to find their way out. So they're hanging on while they look or wait for something to return or something coming with an answer. The agent asks what is it they're waiting for. The viewer reports, evidently was a group or a party of them that went to find a new place to live. It's like I'm getting all kinds of overwhelming input from the corruption of their environment. It's failing very rapidly, and this group went somewhere like a long way away to find another place to live.

The agent asked what was the cause of the atmospheric disturbances or the environmental disturbances. The viewer states, I see a picture. Oh hell, it's almost a warp in God, this is difficult. It's going. Let's see. It's like a globe that goes to a comet's tail or through a river of something. But it's all very cosmic, like space pictures. The agent asks, all right, now, before you leave this individual, ask him if he knows who you are, and is there any way you can help him in his present predicament.

The viewer states, all I get is they must just wait. Doesn't know who I am. I think he perceived me as a hallucination or something. The agent asks, okay, when the others left, these people were left waiting. When the others left, how did they go? The viewer reports, I get an impression of I don't know what the hell it is. It looks like the inside of a very large boat, very rounded walls and shiny metal. The agent asks, go along with them on their journey and find out where it is they go, the viewer reports he gets an impression of a really crazy place with volcanoes and gas pockets and strange plants.

It's a very volatile place. It's very much like going from the fry pan into the fire. Difference is there seems to be a lot of vegetation or the other place did not have it, and a different kind of storm. The agent asks, all right, it's time to come back now to the sound of my voice into the present time, right now, twenty second of May nineteen eighty four, and the sound of my voice, move now back to the room, back to the sound of my voice. Back further now to the sound of my voice on the twenty second of May nineteen eighty four.

You have to wonder did this group of giants leave that planet and end up on Earth in the past, and by the past, I mean time of interest approximately one million years BC, which is what the index card had on it as a date. It could explain some of what we already know. The rumor of a race of giants on Earth has been speculated for years, and we cannot explain how some structures on Earth were made. Pumapunku, which is a marvel, was built on a time where tools would have been primitive if you listen to mainstream historians.

But this site was not built with sticks and rocks. It's precision cut stones that were made with a technical finesse, and the precision is astounding. Not even a razor blade can slide between the rocks. Some of these blocks were finished in machine like quality and holes were drilled to perfection. The CIA has stated that the program was terminated in the nineteen nineties due to a lack of evidence supporting its effectiveness and producing actionable intelligence. However, some former participants in Supporters of the program claim that it was successful to varying degrees.

Like I said before, it's rumored it was twenty percent successful. I find it hard believed that the powers that be, if they knew that people could remote view specific times and places, would not try to perfect it and continue to use it for some purpose. Additionally, there have been reports of successful demonstrations of remote viewing abilities by the Stargate program, including instances where remote viewers were able to accurately describe hidden targets or objects that were not visible to them physically.

These claimed successes led to some within the intelligence community the view remote viewing as a potentially valuable intelligence gathering tool. It is said that the Stargate program was terminated in the nineteen nineties, and the CIA officially declassified and released some of the program's documents to the public in nineteen ninety five. Conclusion, As we wrap up this episode, we reflect on the intriguing story of Stargate and the CIA's clandestine experiments with psychic spies. From its origins during the Cold War to its controversial closure, the Stargate program remains a fascinating chapter in the history of government research into paranormal phenomena.
