The Stargate Project, a secret U.S. Army unit established in 1978, was created by the Defense Intelligence Agency and SRI International to explore psychic phenomena for military and intelligence use. Originating at Fort Meade, Maryland, it had various code names like ‘Gondola Wish’ and ‘Grill Flame’ before being consolidated as the “Stargate Project” in 1991. The program, which investigated potential psychic applications, was later featured in the 2004 book and 2009 film “The Men Who Stare at Goats,” although not mentioned by name.
