The CIA archives contain over 13 million pages of documents that have expired. In addition to standard analytical reports and reports on the agency's activities during the Korean and Vietnam wars, unexpected materials were also found in them. In particular, the US CIA in 1988 resorted to very unusual methods in order to scout the situation on Mars.

RT previously introduced readers to the agency's UFO sightings over the Himalayas and the study of the paranormal. To study telepathy, telekinesis, extrasensory perception and other human paranormal abilities in 1978, the US Army began work on the Stargate project at the Fort Mead military base in Maryland. After some time, the CIA also took part in the project.
One of the documents of the published archive includes a report on a session of the so-called remote observation, during which the psychic, using his abilities, tried to "see" places that were impossible to observe with conventional methods.
Below are excerpts from a document titled “Exploration of Mars. May 22, 1988.
“Method of obtaining information about the site: a sealed envelope with coordinates inside. The envelope was given to the subject before the interview and was opened only after it was finished. Inside was a 3x5 card with the following information:
Promotional video:
The planet Mars. Observation time - approximately 1 million years BC
Individual geographic coordinates of interest to those requesting this information were verbally communicated to the subject during the interview,”reads the title page of the document.

This is followed by a transcript of the audio recording that was conducted during the session. The CIA agent hands the subject a sealed envelope with a task, asks to concentrate on it and names the coordinates - 40.89 north latitude and 9.55 degrees west longitude.
“I would say it looks like a kind of pyramid. Very high, standing in some kind of lowland. The color is yellowish, ocher,”the subject replies. The agent further asks him to mentally move in time to the mark indicated in the sealed envelope.

Subject describes a dust storm and hurricane that he claims is the result of a geological disaster. Once again "traveling" in time at the direction of the agent, he describes "large smooth objects, walls and corners" of enormous size, which he calls megaliths.
Next, the CIA agent asks the specialist to move in accordance with the following coordinates: 46.45 degrees north latitude and 353.22 east longitude.
“I am at the bottom of a deep canyon. I look up and see a huge, steep wall that stretches in both directions to the horizon. A building is carved into this wall. Huge buildings, no ornamentation, just huge sections of smooth stone,”the subject replies.

At 45.86 degrees north latitude and 354.1 east longitude, subject reports another megalith.
"It looks like the end of a very wide road, and there is a marker, a very large one, the Washington Monument comes to mind, it looks like an obelisk," the psychic's words are quoted in the document.

At coordinates 15 degrees north latitude and 198 degrees east longitude, the subject records: “A very interesting thing, like aqueducts, such channels with a rounded bottom. I see pointed spiers on the horizon. The horizon itself is kind of strange, everything is like a fog."

At the coordinates of 80 degrees south latitude and 64 degrees east longitude, the psychic reports that he sees several large pyramids. The CIA agent on record notes that the psychic begins to lose the ability to concentrate from fatigue, and offers to give him the opportunity to explore his visions without reference to coordinates. Then he instructs the subject to mentally enter one of the pyramids.
“There are many different rooms inside. But they don't have any furniture or objects, they are just a functional hibernation space. Can't determine, very raw information; I see storms, terrible storms, and sleep during storms,”the specialist shares his impressions.

Further, the psychic follows a group of inhabitants of the planet who are trying to find a new place to live, but find themselves on an even more volatile celestial body with volcanoes, seismic faults and strange plants. The agent asks to establish contact with one of the aliens, but the subject replies that he does not make contact, since the psychic seems to him only a hallucination. After that, a CIA officer, by voice command, returns the subject to the present - May 22, 1988.
Project "Stargate" was launched in the late 1970s after the CIA received reports that the USSR was spending up to 60 million rubles a year on research in the field of "psychotronics". The unit was based at Fort Meade in Maryland and was led by Major General Albert Stubblebine and his assistant, Lieutenant Frederick Atwater. Co-workers recall that both officers were distinguished by a noticeable breadth of views and were adherents of the philosophical and religious movement of the New Age (New Age). During the period of active work on the project, about 20 military and civilian specialists took part in it.
In 2004, British gonzo journalist John Ronson wrote a book about the project called "The men who stare at goats", which was filmed in 2009.

The film, released in Russia under the title Crazy Special Forces, stars George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Jeff Bridges and Kevin Spacey. One of the most memorable scenes of the film was the episode in which Stephen Lang, who played the role of the project manager General Stubblebine, tries to run through the wall of his office with the help of his mind.
Stargate closed in 1995, after the CIA concluded that the project had not brought any significant results, and its leaders were suspected of adjusting the data of various experiments to the tasks set.
