Why it matters: Recently resurfaced CIA documents from Project Stargate, declassified in 2017, detail alleged psychic observations of ancient Martian civilization, including a population of “very large people” and pyramid structures. Reported by the Daily Mail, these documents provide insight into unconventional Cold War intelligence gathering methods.
The Big Picture: Timesnewsnow reports that project Stargate, a CIA initiative running from 1977 to 1995, used “remote viewing” to gather intelligence through claimed psychic abilities:
- Focused on psychic espionage against Soviets
- Used binaural beats to induce altered states
- Employed self-proclaimed psychics as “remote viewers”
- Explored various paranormal phenomena
Mars Observations: According to a 1984 document titled “Mars Exploration,” a subject allegedly viewed Mars from one million years ago, reporting:
- Pyramid structures similar to ancient Egypt
- Population of exceptionally large inhabitants
- Environmental catastrophe forcing relocation
- Functional chambers used for survival
Historical Context: Project Stargate operated during heightened Cold War tensions, when intelligence agencies explored unconventional methods:
- Sought mind-reading capabilities
- Attempted to locate hostages and fugitives
- Investigated extraterrestrial possibilities
- Shut down in 1995 amid credibility concerns
Looking Forward: While these documents represent an unusual chapter in intelligence history, they coincide with NASA’s ongoing search for evidence of past Martian life, highlighting humanity’s enduring fascination with potential extraterrestrial civilization.
