# STARGATE Project Documents Dataset

## Overview

This dataset contains processed documents from the STARGATE project, a U.S. government-sponsored program focused on psychic phenomena research, including remote viewing, telepathy, and psychokinesis. The documents have been declassified and made available through the CIA's CREST (CIA Records Search Tool) database.

## Dataset Contents

The dataset includes:

- **Processed text files**: Extracted text from PDF documents, including OCR for scanned documents
- **Metadata**: Structured information about each document, including:
  - Document ID
  - Classification level
  - Dates mentioned
  - Project names
  - Named entities (persons, organizations, locations)
  - Word and page counts
- **Categorization**: Documents organized by type/content
- **Summary statistics**: Overall dataset statistics and insights

## Categories

Documents are categorized into the following groups:

- **Remote Viewing**: Sessions, protocols, and results
- **Psychokinesis**: Experiments on mind-matter interaction
- **Telepathy**: Research on thought transference
- **Precognition**: Studies on predicting future events
- **Research Reports**: Formal research documentation
- **Experiment Results**: Data and outcomes from experiments
- **Training Materials**: Protocols and instructional content
- **Administrative**: Budgets, personnel, and management documents
- **Correspondence**: Letters, memos, and communications
- **Historical**: Background and contextual information
- **Other**: Miscellaneous documents

## Usage

This dataset can be used for:

- Historical research on psychic phenomena studies
- Text analysis of government research documents
- Named entity recognition and relationship mapping
- Document classification and categorization tasks
- Linguistic analysis of scientific and administrative text

## New Insights from Document Analysis

### Scientific Validation of Remote Viewing
- Early peer-reviewed publications in Nature (October 1974) documented controlled experiments with Uri Geller and Pat Price
- Experiments utilized electrically shielded rooms to prevent conventional sensory information transfer
- Double-blind protocols were implemented to eliminate experimenter bias
- Publication in Nature represented a pivotal moment for parapsychological research in mainstream science

### Soviet Research on Psychoenergetics
- Soviet researchers developed theoretical frameworks connecting biological systems to electromagnetic phenomena
- Proposed "laws of bio-electrical induction" to explain certain psychic abilities
- Research attempted to provide physical mechanisms for phenomena like psychokinesis
- Significant interest in developing "psychotropic apparatus" based on these principles

### Technical Devices and Measurement Systems
- Kirlian photography was used to visualize "energy fields" around living organisms
- Technical parameters identified for optimal results (20-100kV pulses with specific durations)
- Acupuncture points were studied as potential interfaces for psychoenergetic effects
- Specialized equipment was developed to detect and measure telekinetic (PK) effects

### Experimental Protocols and Results
- SRI conducted 13 separate drawing experiments with Uri Geller over 7 days
- Various target selection methods were used to prevent pre-experiment cueing
- Targets included simple line drawings that the subject attempted to reproduce
- Results showed apparent success in several trials where subjects reproduced target images without conventional sensory access

### Institutional Involvement
- CIA classification markings appear on many documents, confirming direct intelligence agency interest
- SRI (Stanford Research Institute) conducted formal laboratory studies
- Soviet research institutions were actively involved in parallel research
- Academic journals like Nature were publishing some of these findings
