The CIA Stargate Program in Spanish

In 1995, the CIA officially terminated Project Stargate — a 23-year program that used "psychic spies" to gather intelligence on Soviet military installations, hostage locations, and classified facilities.

"No remote viewing report ever provided actionable information for any intelligence operation."

Case closed. Move on. Nothing to see here.

Except — the data tells a different story.

This article is the first complete coverage in Spanish (with English mirror) of the program. All documentation comes from CIA CREST archive files, declassified after 1995. Note: a more comprehensive English-language deep dive is also available at /research/government-programs/stargate-project.

What do the declassified numbers show?

The CIA's Stargate Project ran for 23 years. It was used by 19 intelligence agencies with an 89.5% customer return rate. Remote Viewer #001 Joseph McMoneagle received the Legion of Merit for intelligence "unavailable from any other source." The program was officially terminated in 1995 — three months before its own evaluation results were received.

McMoneagle was used in 450+ missions during his active service. The Legion of Merit citation from 1984 explicitly mentions intelligence "unavailable from any other source."

How did the CIA fund Stargate for 23 years?

The program ran under five sequential code names: SCANATE (1972-1975), GRILL FLAME (1978-1983), CENTER LANE (1983-1985), SUN STREAK (1985-1991), STARGATE (1991-1995). Each rename required renewal justification. You do not fund something for 23 years that does not work.

What specific missions were documented?

The Soviet Tu-22 bomber (1976): Remote viewer Pat Price provided coordinates for a downed Soviet bomber in Africa. President Carter referenced this case publicly later.

The Brigadier General Dozier kidnapping (1981): McMoneagle provided description of the building and city where General Dozier was held by the Red Brigades. The description matched his rescue location in Padua.

Soviet nuclear installations: Multiple sessions produced information about specific facilities later verified by satellite.

Why was it officially canceled?

The American Institutes for Research (AIR) conducted a final 1995 evaluation. Two evaluators received data access: statistician Jessica Utts (UC Davis, later President of the American Statistical Association) and skeptic psychologist Ray Hyman.

Utts concluded the statistical effect was real and replicated. Hyman concluded effects appeared real but were not reliable enough for operational use.

The CIA decided to terminate the program before the evaluation was formally complete. CREST documents confirm the closure decision was made three months before the final report was received.

What documents are available?

The CIA has declassified 12+ million pages in the CREST archive related to Stargate. This includes mission reports, training protocols, viewer performance evaluations, the full AIR evaluation, and McMoneagle's Legion of Merit citation. All accessible at the CIA Reading Room.

Why does this matter for manifestation?

Stargate is not manifestation in The Secret style. It is the honest scientific question: can focused human intention produce measurable information about physical objects at a distance? The U.S. government paid $20 million over 23 years to investigate that question. The institutional response was ambiguous and political.

The lineage connects to broader psi research (PEAR Lab, Ganzfeld, Grinberg). For complete context, see the Mechanics of Manifestation pillar.
