Remote viewing is the practice of attempting to gather info about an unseen or unknown target using mental perceptions or extra sensory abilities. You basically are given coordinates and are told to describe the location.

During the studies, the cia declassified the documents as the results were not what they wanted. They did not fail but did not provide the asset they wanted to leverage (likely against the communists) in order to properly spy on them. The most interesting part is what they discovered and stated their findings were.

Essentially to quote the cia’s website as to the results “That report’s conclusion—which echoed the assessments of the CIA officers involved in the program during the 1970s—was that enough accurate remote viewing experiences existed to defy randomness, but that the phenomenon was too unreliable, inconsistent, and sporadic to be useful for intelligence purposes. We decided not to restore the program” to take the quotation from the official site itself.

However to quote the head of the declassification of the files Harry Cooper on his quora page (btw you can look up his name he is legitimate) I will put his quotations in another comment

“The CIA program called Stargate was declassified and released (under my authority) and transferred to the National Archives. The scientists that worked on the program said something wierd was actually happening, but it couldn’t be harnessed or put to any practical use. Go to the Archives and look at the collection called Stargate and read all about the few successes and many failures in paranormal intelligence collection” another comment for the second one

“The program absolutely did these experiments in the blind with neither the viewer or the scientist knowing what the right answer to the question was. So when they got it right, it demonstrated that these people had some kind of ability that was not normal. But we can’t have intelligence methods that are only accurate once in 100 times”

Jessica Utts, now a major player in the American board of statisticians also has a paper going over the actual probability of the ones they were correct and found it to be statistical improbable these events occurred. She has her paper here “https://www.parapsychologypress.org/_files/ugd/82c4a8_100ed65cae6649949ca3ddd6e0ef0527.pdf” have to copy and paste my bad.

There was from critique from Robert Hyman about the experiments however, though he had admitted the data was solid. He had argued poor methodology and quickly jumping to assumptions was the answer. However, Cooper went into how strict the procedures were and how even the scientists themselves had no idea about the locations. So that is up to your discretion what you believe.

The main talking point of many skeptics is the cia “failed to find any data supporting it” when that’s even what they said. They outright said they found strange occurrences they couldn’t harness on a constant basis. They found there is something there, but we lack the mechanism to trigger it. It was not a failure necessarily as they found a result but could consistently apply it to espionage. I have been deep diving into this lmao

Ah, well the whole premise is there’s this girl with telepathic mind powers who escaped a lab in the 80s where they were trying to train her to use her abilities to spy on the Russians. And a group of middle school boys take her in and hide her in the basement of one of their houses because she’s somehow connected to the disappearance of one of their friends and they need her help to get him back.
