Angela Dellafiora
Angela Dellafiora (later Ford) was a Defense Intelligence Agency analyst and STAR GATE remote viewer hired in 1986 who developed a distinctive automatic writing technique known as Written Remote Viewing (WRV) and testified as an expert witness in the 1994 David Morehouse court-martial.
Angela Dellafiora, later known as Angela Ford after marriage, was a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) intelligence analyst based in Maryland. The DIA hired her in 1986 to participate in Project STAR GATE, the government's classified remote-viewing program, in which she worked for nine years.1
Written Remote Viewing
Dellafiora was one of a small number of female remote viewers in the STAR GATE program and the only practitioner who used automatic writing rather than the standard coordinate or extended remote viewing protocols. She would suppress her conscious awareness and allow words and impressions to flow onto the page through a technique that became formally designated Written Remote Viewing (WRV) within the unit.1
Her method diverged significantly from the other viewers'. Rather than targeting specific geographic coordinates, she described receiving data through a set of entities she referred to by the names "Maurice" and "George." This approach generated friction within the unit: senior viewers Ed Dames and Mel Riley concluded that Dellafiora had accumulated disproportionate influence over unit commanders, including Jack Vorona, by conducting personal channeling sessions addressing staff members' private lives.2
Notable Cases
In 1989, Dellafiora was tasked with locating a former U.S. customs agent who had gone missing as a fugitive. The session was later cited by program advocates as a successful demonstration of WRV, though critics argued that follow-up accounts of the case omitted information available through conventional means that could have produced the same result.3
She described the cargo of a vessel heading toward Libya as containing a major stockpile of chemical weapons - a description attributed to STAR GATE and publicly associated with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's procurement activities.1
Morehouse Court-Martial
In the winter of 1994, Al Girard, who had succeeded Dale Graff as head of the remote-viewing unit, brought Dellafiora with him to the Pentagon for a meeting with the attorney of David Morehouse, a former unit member facing court-martial charges. Dellafiora subsequently testified as an expert witness on the DIA's remote-viewing program at Morehouse's preliminary court-martial hearing.2
After leaving government service, Dellafiora marketed herself publicly as a medium offering connections with spirit guides and deceased individuals.
