- Albert Stubblebine Major General Albert Stubblebine III was the U.S. Army INSCOM commander from 1981 to 1984 who was the military's most senior advocate of psychic research for intelligence applications, personally believed in training soldiers for anomalous physical feats, and provided high-level Army support that kept the STARGATE remote viewing program funded through its critical early operational phase.
- Don Keach Don Keach was a former U.S. Navy officer and deep-sea explorer at the University of Southern California who located a lost hydrogen bomb off Palomares, Spain in 1966 and facilitated Stephan Schwartz's Project Deep Quest by providing access to the submersible Taurus I in 1977.
- Eldon Byrd Eldon Byrd was a Navy physicist at the Naval Surface Weapons Center who conducted parapsychology experiments with Uri Geller in 1973-1974 including the nitinol memory-metal bending test, and worked on research into electromagnetic effects on biological systems.
- Eugene Lessman Eugene 'Gene' Alden Lessman was a U.S. Army intelligence officer, Green Beret Vietnam veteran, and lead recruiter for the Army's Great Skill Program who handled remote viewer Angela Dellafiora and allegedly recruited Luis Elizondo into the program.
- Frederick Atwater Frederick 'Skip' Atwater was the U.S. Army intelligence officer who proposed and organized the military remote viewing program at Fort Meade in 1977, recruited and managed the original STARGATE viewers including Joe McMoneagle and Mel Riley, and served as the program's operations officer until his retirement in 1987.
- Hal Puthoff Harold E. 'Hal' Puthoff is a physicist who co-founded the Stanford Research Institute remote viewing program with Russell Targ in 1972 under CIA contract, served as its principal investigator through 1985, and later contributed technical research to the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.
- Jack Houck Jack Houck was a Boeing Aerospace systems engineer who developed the PK Party protocol for group psychokinesis metal-bending experiments beginning in 1981 and whose work attracted U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command attention for its potential military implications.
- Karen Jansen Karen Jansen was a U.S. Army major and United Nations weapons inspector who reportedly carried remote viewing-derived sketches of suspected Iraqi biological weapons sites produced by Ed Dames of PSI Tech during the post-Gulf War inspection effort.
- Kit Green Christopher 'Kit' Green was a CIA physician who served as the agency's principal liaison for the SRI remote viewing program from 1972, including handling Uri Geller during the 1972-1973 tests, and later contributed to the AATIP program and published research on UAP encounter injuries.
- Qian Xuesen Qian Xuesen (H.S. Tsien) was a Chinese aerospace scientist who co-founded the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, was expelled from the United States during the McCarthy era, returned to China where he directed its ballistic missile and space programs, and in later life endorsed state-sponsored research into 'Extraordinary Human Body Function' - a Chinese government euphemism for parapsychology - providing the scientific credibility that enabled large-scale EHBF research programs with military applications interest.
- Russell Targ Russell Targ is a laser physicist who co-founded the Stanford Research Institute remote viewing program with Hal Puthoff in 1972 under CIA contract, co-authored the program's landmark 1974 Nature paper and 1976 IEEE paper, and continued parapsychology research and writing after leaving SRI.
- Uri Geller Uri Geller is an Israeli-British illusionist and psychic claimant who was tested by Stanford Research Institute under CIA contract in 1972-1973, reportedly worked for Israeli military intelligence on clairvoyance taskings, and became the most publicly known subject of the U.S. government's parapsychology program.

- Esalen Institute Esalen Institute is the Big Sur retreat center founded in 1962 by Michael Murphy and Dick Price that became the seedbed of the Human Potential movement and whose Soviet-American citizen-diplomacy program drew documented CIA and FBI monitoring.
- Rand Corporation The Rand Corporation is the US Air Force's principal Cold War nonprofit think tank in Santa Monica, founded as Project RAND in 1946 and incorporated in 1948, whose Vietnam-era Viet Cong Motivation and Morale Study produced critical findings that were suppressed at the time and later vindicated by Rand's own official history.
- Stanford Research Institute Stanford Research Institute is the Menlo Park research institute, founded in 1946 and independent since 1970, that produced Douglas Engelbart's 1968 'Mother of All Demos,' the second ARPANET node, and the U.S. government's classified remote-viewing program under Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ.
Programs (3)
- Project 8200 Project 8200 is the subject of a 2024 book by former STARGATE remote viewer Frederick Atwater claiming the existence of classified UAP base locations identified through remote viewing operations.
- SCANATE SCANATE was the CIA's initial code name for its remote viewing research program at Stanford Research Institute, launched in 1972 following Hal Puthoff's contact with CIA officer Kit Green and running until the program transitioned to Army management as Gondola Wish in 1977.
- STARGATE PROJECT STARGATE PROJECT was the umbrella designation for the U.S. Army and DIA remote viewing programs at Fort Meade, Maryland (1977-1995), progressing through code names Gondola Wish, Grill Flame, Center Lane, Sun Streak, and STAR GATE before termination following the 1995 American Institutes for Research evaluation.
Concepts (9)
- Analytical Overlay Analytical Overlay refers to the conscious or unconscious imposition of a remote viewer's existing knowledge, beliefs, or biases onto their psychic perceptions, potentially distorting the accuracy of the data.
- Associative Remote Viewing Associative Remote Viewing (ARV) is a precognitive Remote Viewing technique where objects or geographic locations are used as surrogates for abstract data, such as numbers or letters, which are generally difficult to remote-view directly.
- Clairvoyance Clairvoyance is the purported paranormal ability to perceive information about physical reality through extrasensory means, distinguished from telepathy by its direct perception of external reality rather than mind-to-mind transmission, and the operative phenomenon underlying the U.S. government's STARGATE remote viewing program.
- Coordinate Remote Viewing Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV) is a specific methodology of Remote Viewing that uses geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) to direct a psychic's perception to a target.
- Extended Remote Viewing Extended Remote Viewing (ERV) refers to deeper altered-state methods of Remote Viewing, often favored by the STARGATE PROJECT unit at Fort Meade.
- Extrasensory Perception Extrasensory perception (ESP) is the claimed ability to receive information through means beyond the known sensory channels; the term was coined by J.B. Rhine in the 1930s and became the subject of sustained U.S. and Soviet government research programs through the Cold War.
- Outbound Remote Viewing Outbound Remote Viewing is a Remote Viewing methodology where an 'outbound' experimenter visits a target site while the psychic, typically back at a laboratory, attempts to perceive and describe the experimenter's surroundings.
- Outbounder-Beacon Experiment The Outbounder-Beacon Experiment was a Remote Viewing protocol developed by Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ at Stanford Research Institute for the Central Intelligence Agency's psychic research program.
- Temporal Displacement Temporal Displacement in Remote Viewing refers to the phenomenon where a psychic perceives a target in a different time period (past or future) than the present moment.
