CIA Test Subject: The Real Life Stranger Things 'Gifted Child' Program EXPOSED | Julia Mossbridge

Julian Dorey Daily · 15 May 2026 · 5 Egleze moments

What happened in this episode?

In this episode, host Julian Dorey interviews cognitive neuroscientist Julia, who reveals her experience as an unwitting subject in what she believes was a classified government program studying psychic abilities and radiation effects in gifted children. Julia recounts being enrolled in seventh grade in SOAR (Students on Active Research), a program where she underwent weekly counseling sessions she cannot remember, was given unexplained chalky pink drinks, subjected to strange hearing tests with tones, and tested with Zener cards for telepathy. When she requested her school records decades later for a federal security clearance, all teacher comments from grades 1-8 were completely redacted. Her mother, without prompting, confirmed intelligence agencies had been studying her. Julia connects her selection to her maternal grandparents' work at a Department of Energy uranium plant, theorizing researchers were studying whether radiation exposure creates heritable psychic mutations. After moving to Washington DC and filing a FOIA request about SOAR, she experienced coordinated interference including a suspicious job recruitment call exactly three minutes after withdrawing her request. Julia also discusses scientific research by Morris Friedman showing stroke victims with left frontal lobe damage can move objects with their minds above chance rates, suggesting the left hemisphere normally suppresses psychic abilities. The conversation touches on multiple intelligence types, precognitive dreams, and her father's severe OCD and abusive behavior. Julia founded the Institute for Love and Time to develop therapeutic technologies and advocates for disclosure through personal truth-telling rather than waiting for institutional acknowledgment.

What are the key points?

Julia claims she was enrolled without parental consent in SOAR, a program testing children for psychic abilities, and her school records from grades 1-8 were later completely redacted.
Her mother confirmed without prompting that intelligence agencies had been studying Julia, whose maternal grandparents worked at a Department of Energy uranium processing facility.
Julia received a federal job recruitment call exactly three minutes after withdrawing a FOIA request about the SOAR program, suggesting coordinated monitoring.
Morris Friedman's research at Baycrest shows left frontal stroke patients can move on-screen arrows with their minds above chance, suggesting the left hemisphere suppresses psychic abilities.
Julia theorizes radiation exposure can create heritable genetic mutations that enhance psychic capacities across generations, making her a research target.
The SOAR program originated near Savannah River National Lab and a 1968 Defense Nuclear Security Agency memo mandated human radiation studies.
Julia advocates for personal disclosure narratives rather than waiting for institutional transparency, founding the Institute for Love and Time for trauma healing technology.

Neuroscientist Claims She Was Studied for Psychic Abilities in Secret Government Program

at 3:50 · Attributed speaker claim

They were testing me for psychic abilities and for IQ tests. I took like 30 IQ tests both in the school and outside of the school. There were these weekly meetings with a counselor. As soon as I close that door, I don't remember anything. The one-on-one session happens. I close the door. Now I remember, oh, here I am. But I remember not remembering what was in the room.

Cognitive neuroscientist Julia recounted being enrolled in a seventh-grade program called SOAR (Students on Active Research) where she underwent memory suppression, psychic testing with Zener cards, and unexplained medical procedures including a chalky pink drink. When she requested her school records decades later for a security clearance, all teacher comments from grades 1-8 were redacted. Her mother confirmed without prompting that intelligence agencies had been studying her.

Scientist Reports Right Hemisphere Stroke Victims Can Move Objects With Their Minds

at 7:25 · Attributed speaker claim

He has them try to, with their minds, move an arrow on a screen in a particular direction, just with their minds, like not with a mouse. And the ones who can do it well are the ones who have the left frontal. Above chance. It suggests that this area around here, left frontal orbital area, is involved in actually reducing our capacity to use our right hemisphere.

Morris Friedman at Baycrest in Canada discovered that patients with left frontal strokes could move arrows on screens using only their minds at rates above statistical chance. The neuroscientist colleague interprets this as evidence that the left frontal cortex normally inhibits psychic abilities located in the right hemisphere, and damage removes this inhibition.

Researcher Links Gifted Student Programs to US Army Radiation Exposure Studies

at 45:00 · Attributed speaker claim

The department is a department of the US Army that studies the effects of radiation on humans. The first document that shows up is this national Defense Nuclear Security Agency big memo back in 1978 or '68. It just says, like, we have to start studying the effects of radiation on humans. And it underscores we can't use animals. We have to use humans because this is a human problem.

After a precognitive dream provided a phone number, the researcher discovered it belonged to a US Army department studying radiation effects on humans. She believes she was targeted because her mother's parents worked at a Department of Energy uranium plant and her mother was exposed to uranium dust as a child. The SOAR gifted program originated near Savannah River National Lab, a plutonium processing facility.

Researcher Claims Psychic Abilities May Result From Radiation Exposure Across Generations

at 48:25 · Attributed speaker claim

One of the effects of radiation whether it's ionizing radiation like uranium or plutonium or non-ionizing radiation like EMF, one of the effects of radiation might be extended capacities like psychic abilities. I think they were looking for both positive and negative outcomes of exposure to radiation, both within a person's lifetime and in the womb. A woman's eggs are around even when she's a kid. So if a woman is exposed to radiation as a kid, that can cause mutations in the eggs that later manifest themselves when she has children.

The cognitive neuroscientist theorizes that government researchers were studying whether radiation exposure creates heritable psychic abilities. She believes she was selected because her maternal grandmother was exposed to uranium dust while working at a Department of Energy facility, potentially causing genetic mutations that enhanced abilities in the next generation.

Job Recruiter Called Minutes After FOIA Request Was Withdrawn for Classified Records

at 50:00 · Attributed speaker claim

I get an email from the FOIA people after I got the call from the recruiter. They say, you know, if you really want to know about the SOAR program, you have to know exactly what program in the Air Force ran it. I say, okay, drop it. Drop the FOIA request. 3 minutes later, I get a call from the recruiter. Oh, great. You passed to the next level. It's time to do the cognitive testing. 3 minutes.

When the researcher filed a Freedom of Information Act request about the SOAR program, she received unusually quick pushback. After withdrawing the request, a federal job recruiter called exactly three minutes later to advance her application, suggesting coordinated monitoring of her FOIA activity and potential leverage to suppress her inquiry.
