CIA Remote Viewing Program Proved Psychic Intelligence Gathering Works, Scientist Claims
"We made $260,000 in the 30 days predicting silver futures. The CIA director came to me and said we'd like for you to look into ESP. It grew into more than a 2-decade program called Stargate, millions of dollars."
About this episode
Host Steven Bartlett interviewed documentary filmmaker Dan and quantum physicist Dr. Harold Puthoff on the explosive subject of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) and alleged government suppression of non-human intelligence evidence. The conversation centered on Dan's 3.5-year documentary 'The Age of Disclosure,' which featured on-camera testimony from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, former DNI James Clapper, Navy fighter pilots, and senior intelligence officials—all claiming the US government has recovered crashed craft of non-human origin containing biological entities over an 80-year period. Rubio stated on record that sitting presidents have historically been kept in the dark by a 'Legacy Program' involving CIA elements, the Air Force, Department of Energy, and defense contractors operating outside oversight. The most significant new development discussed was Trump's recent directive to declassify UAP evidence, with the first tranche released days before this interview, including a 1972 Apollo mission photo showing a triangle craft hovering above the moon. Multiple sources told Dan that witnesses have been threatened with career destruction and physical harm for coming forward. Dr. Puthoff, who worked for NSA and CIA on classified UAP programs, explained the physics behind observed craft maneuvers, arguing they display warp-drive technology that manipulates spacetime—capabilities no human nation possesses. The conversation also covered Puthoff's two-decade leadership of the CIA's Stargate remote viewing program, which he claims successfully used psychic intelligence gathering and was briefed to the CIA director. Both guests believe full disclosure is imminent, with the Trump administration actively working with whistleblowers like Jay Stratton to locate classified evidence. Bartlett remained skeptical but open-minded, pressing on why clear iPhone footage doesn't exist and questioning eyewitness reliability, while acknowledging the credibility of the sources and the bipartisan Washington consensus that this represents a serious national security issue.
Key takeaways
- Multiple senior officials stated on record that US government recovered non-human bodies from crashed UAP over 80 years across dozens of incidents.
- Secretary Rubio confirmed sitting presidents historically kept in dark by Legacy Program operating outside congressional and White House oversight since 1940s.
- Special Forces operative withdrew from interview citing he would be forfeiting his life, echoing pattern of witnesses receiving threats from Legacy Program elements.
- Trump administration issued directive in February 2025 to declassify UAP evidence; first tranche released included 1972 Apollo photo of triangle craft over moon.
- Dr. Puthoff explained observed UAP maneuvers require spacetime-warping warp drive technology creating energy bubbles that no human nation currently possesses.
- Puthoff ran CIA's classified Stargate remote viewing program for two decades, training Army intelligence in psychic intelligence gathering with documented successes.
- Jay Stratton, former UAP Task Force director, stated on camera he has seen non-human beings and craft with his own eyes in classified settings.
