The CIA ran a secret $20M psychic spy program (Stargate Project) for 20 years — declassified in 2017 — documented evidence
PARTIAL

From 1975 to 1995, the CIA, DIA, and Army funded the Stargate Project at Fort Meade, Maryland, spending $20 million to investigate remote viewing — the claimed psychic ability to perceive distant locations. Remote viewers like Ingo Swann and Pat Price claimed to describe Soviet military installations, hostage locations, and submarine deployments with alleged accuracy. Statistician Jessica Utts found results 5-15% above chance and called the effect 'replicable.' However, the CIA terminated the program in 1995 after an independent review concluded that while statistical anomalies existed, remote viewing never produced actionable intelligence for any operation. The full archive of 12,000+ documents was declassified and published by the CIA in 2017.

What They Said Was Crazy
Remote viewing is real. We used it operationally for military intelligence purposes. The statistical results were well above chance.

What They Said
The claim that ESP has been proven is premature, to say the least. The findings have yet to be replicated independently, and no remote viewing report ever provided actionable intelligence.
