One of the most peculiar efforts was “,” a classified program dedicated to remote viewing—a purported psychic ability to see distant locations, hidden objects, and even past or future events.

Their experiments with the mind weren’t just about seeing across space and time — they were about controlling perception, manipulating consciousness, and potentially reshaping the battlefield of intelligence itself.
