It was led by physicists Harold Puthoff and Russell Targ.
Key Methodology
Key remote viewer Ingo Swann developed the Coordinate Remote Viewing methodology.
Operational Base
The operational headquarters was located at Fort Meade military base, Maryland.
Program Evolution
The program went through several code names:
- Gondola Wish
- Grill Flame
- Center Lane
- Sun Streak
- Finally, Star Gate
Termination
In 1995, it was declassified and officially terminated.
This followed an evaluation by the American Institutes for Research.
