What happens when the U.S. Military hires you to be a psychic spy?
In this episode, former U.S. Army analyst, Paul H. Smith, shares his unbelievable story of being recruited into the government’s secret parapsychology program, better known as Project Stargate.
From reading sci-fi books to scoring off the charts on classified aptitude tests, he walks us through what it was really like inside the military’s remote viewing program.
We cover:
• How he was recruited into the top-secret ‘psychic spy’ unit at Fort Meade
• What a day at Stargate looked like – including operational sessions targeting real-world cold war threats
• The ‘Men in Black’ moment and signing extreme non-disclosure agreements
• The Joe Rogan story: What happened when he tried to teach remote viewing to Rogan on TV
• Why the military shifted from coordinates to random numbers
• Is the U.S. government still using psychic spies today?
A HUGE thank you and shout out to @ContactintheDesert for organizing these interviews.
