The CIA Watched Him Bend Reality With Just His Mind In 1972, an artist named Ingo Swann allegedly altered the magnetic field in a sealed vacuum chamber just by thinking about it. That event led to one of the most surreal programs in U.S. government history: Project Stargate. Watch Pop Mech’s Andrew Daniels and John Gilpatrick unpack the strange origins of Stargate, the Cold War paranoia that fueled it, and the CIA’s mission to train “psychic spies” who could see across time and space through a technique called remote viewing. Andrew and John break down how the tests were run under ultra-secret conditions, and how the government tried—and maybe succeeded?—at unlocking human consciousness as a tool for intelligence gathering.
