This is further to our 2 February 2006 letter concerning your
25 December 2005 Freedom of Information Act request. You referred to an
announcement we made in November 2002 concerning documents relating to
the Star Gate/remote viewing program, and asked if the documents have since
been reviewed.
We announced in 2004 the availability of the Star Gate Collection on a
set of 14 compact disks. The Collection comprises 11,985 documents, totaling
89,901 pages. No additional documents have been released since then,
although we anticipate that some will be available in the future.
As you know, Project Star Gate was one specific, rather short-lived,
program that dealt with research into the parapsychological phenomenon
known as remote viewing. During recent years, however, we have come to use
"Star Gate" as a rubric for a series of CIA and US military remote viewing
research projects. The individual projects are now defunct, and today CIA
does not fund remote viewing research.
Pursuant to a 1995 Congressional mandate, CIA collected the CIA and
Department of Defense records concerned with parapsychological phenomena,
mainly "remote viewing," and began a program of review with the intention of
declassifying as many of these documents as possible. These records, now
referred to as the Star Gate Collection, include releasable information on the
related projects and terms STAR GATE, GRILL FLAME, CENTER LANE,
SUN STREAK, STUNT PILOT, PHOENIX and SCANATE.
