March 4, 1998: Project Stargate - Dale Graff
Published 2 years, 1 month ago
Description
Art Bell opens with alarming reports of flesh-eating strep A bacteria spreading across Texas, with 89 cases and 18 deaths reported since December. He questions why the outbreak receives so little national media coverage. A caller claiming to be a former government biological weapons researcher connects the outbreak to experiments at Dugway, Utah, alleging that common bacteria have been engineered into lethal strains.
The main guest is Dale Graff, the man who coined the name for the government's secret remote viewing effort, Project Stargate. Graff, who spent 17 years in the Defense Department researching parapsychological phenomena, confirms that psi is real based on his quarter-century of work. He describes the protocols used in remote viewing sessions, including randomized targeting and double-blind procedures, and offers his theory that remote viewers may actually be perceiving their own future knowledge rather than traveling through time.
Graff reveals that the program's cancellation was driven more by career concerns of military commanders than by any failure of results. He states that if the 1995 review had examined earlier successes from the 1980s rather than only the final two years, the conclusion would have been very different. He maintains that psi ability exists in everyone to varying degrees and represents an extension of natural human intuition.
