Sheila Ostrander
Ostrander and Schroeder's work, which included accounts from figures like Eduard Naumov, contributed to the growing awareness and concern within the U.S.
Sheila Ostrander is an American author who, along with Lynn Schroeder, co-authored the 1970 book Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain. This book played a significant role in popularizing Soviet and Eastern European psi research in the West. The book portrayed a "veritable frenzy of psychic research" going on in the USSR, with investigators uncovering powerful natural clairvoyants, psychokinetic prodigies, and dowsers whose talents could potentially be employed against the West.1
Ostrander and Schroeder's work, which included accounts from figures like Eduard Naumov, contributed to the growing awareness and concern within the U.S. intelligence community about a potential "psi gap" with the Soviet Union, ultimately influencing the decision to fund and initiate programs like the Stargate Project.1
