Origins

Research started in 1972 at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in Menlo Park, California.
It was led by physicists Harold Puthoff and Russell Targ.

Key Methodology

Key remote viewer Ingo Swann developed the Coordinate Remote Viewing methodology.

Operational Base

The operational headquarters was located at Fort Meade military base, Maryland.

Program Evolution

The program went through several code names:
- Gondola Wish
- Grill Flame
- Center Lane
- Sun Streak
- Finally, Star Gate

Termination

In 1995, it was declassified and officially terminated.
This followed an evaluation by the American Institutes for Research.
