- Moscow Signal Microwave beam directed at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow by the Soviet Union (1956-1976), suspected of being an electromagnetic weapon that spurred U.S. research into psychotronics.
Concepts (16)
- Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Waves Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) waves are 3-300 Hz electromagnetic signals whose ability to penetrate water made them the primary U.S. Navy communication channel for submerged nuclear submarines and a research focus in Soviet psychotronic weapons programs.
- Faraday Cage A Faraday cage is an electromagnetic shielding enclosure invented by Michael Faraday in 1836, used in parapsychology research to test whether psychic phenomena could be blocked by shielding subjects from external electromagnetic signals.
- FOIMS Field Office Information Management System (FOIMS) is a computer program developed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
- Heavy Water Heavy water (deuterium oxide, D2O) is a form of water that contains a higher than normal concentration of the isotope deuterium, rather than the common hydrogen-1 isotope.
- Jericho I The Jericho I was a medium-range ballistic missile jointly developed by Israel and the French Dassault company beginning in 1963, designed to deliver nuclear warheads to targets 300 miles away.
- KH-11 KH-11 KENNAN was the first U.S. reconnaissance satellite capable of real-time electro-optical imaging, launched December 19, 1976, and compromised when its technical manual was leaked to the Soviets via Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard.
- Kirlian Photography Kirlian Photography is a technique for capturing images of objects placed on a photographic plate connected to a high-voltage source, producing a glow or aura around the object.
- Psychotronic Weapons Psychotronic Weapons are a theoretical class of electromagnetic weapons, described in Soviet Union science journals, designed to influence or degrade human behavior and cognition.
- Relational Database A relational database is a data storage system organizing information into structured tables with defined relationships, the architecture underlying PROMIS and the INSLAW case management software at the center of the PROMIS Software Scandal.
- Synthetic Telepathy Synthetic Telepathy, also known as the Frey Effect, is a technology discovered by Allan H. Frey in 1961.
- Taurus I Taurus I was a five-man research submersible capable of 1,000-foot depths used in the 1977 Project Deep Quest psychic experiment to test whether remote viewing could locate an underwater shipwreck.
- TOW Missile The BGM-71 TOW is a U.S. Army crew-portable anti-tank guided missile system developed by Hughes Aircraft that was the primary weapons system transferred to Iran through Israeli intermediaries in the August-September 1985 phase of the Iran-Contra arms-for-hostages scheme.
- U-2 Spy Plane The U-2 is a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft jointly developed by the CIA and Air Force under Lockheed cover, operational from 1956, whose overflight missions gathered critical intelligence on Soviet nuclear facilities and the Dimona reactor before a U-2 was shot down over the USSR in May 1960.
- USS Nimitz The USS Nimitz (CVN-68) is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier whose F/A-18 pilots made the November 2004 'Tic Tac' encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena off San Diego - corroborated by USS Princeton radar data - considered the most technically documented UAP case in U.S. military history.
- USS Roosevelt The USS Roosevelt (CVN-71) is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier whose 2014-2015 pre-deployment workups produced twenty-two documented encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena off the southeastern U.S. coast, prompting Navy policy changes on UAP reporting.
- VELA Satellite VELA was a U.S. nuclear detection satellite program whose September 22, 1979 detection of two bright flashes over the South Indian Ocean produced the 'Vela Incident,' widely believed to be an Israeli-South African nuclear test that the U.S. government never officially confirmed.
