The Public Record

Declassified Documents

CIA · US Army · Department of Defense · FOIA

Every document on this page is real. Each one was produced by a government agency, classified, and later released through declassification orders or Freedom of Information Act requests. None of them required a conspiracy theory to exist. They required patience, FOIA filings, and in some cases a Senate investigation.

The CIA studied out-of-body travel and concluded it was possible. The US Army funded twenty years of remote viewing research. The Department of Defense ran a mind control program inside hospitals and universities for two decades. These are not allegations. They are in the documents.

This page exists because the questions these documents raise are the same questions that run through the fiction. The documents are the starting point. The fiction follows where they lead.

CIA · 1983 The CIA Gateway Experience A US Army Lieutenant Colonel submitted a classified analysis of out-of-body travel to the CIA. The document concludes that consciousness can exit the body and access information across time. Page 25 is missing from the declassified release. Analysis and Assessment of Gateway Process · Declassified 2003 CIA · 1953 to 1973 Project MK-Ultra The CIA's mind control program ran for twenty years using unwitting American and Canadian citizens as test subjects. Most files were destroyed on the director's orders in 1973. Twenty thousand pages survived by accident. Partially declassified 1977 · ~20,000 pages recovered DOD · 2002 The Wilson-Davis Memo A leaked document describes a senior Pentagon intelligence official being denied access to a classified program involving recovered non-human technology. The program's existence was confirmed. Access was refused. 15 pages · Authenticity disputed and supported by multiple investigators CIA / DIA · 1972 to 1995 The Stargate Project The US government funded over two decades of research into remote viewing — the ability to perceive locations and events at a distance using only the mind. The program produced results the government could not explain and chose not to publicize. Declassified 1995 · Available via CIA FOIA reading room CIA · Declassified 2003 The Adam and Eve Document A classified study on recurring catastrophic pole shift cycles and their effect on human civilization. The document presents the cycle as predictable, recurring, and overdue. It was classified for decades. Chan Thomas · The Adam and Eve Story · Sanitized release DOD · Alleged Project Aquarius Briefing documents allegedly describing a classified program for the retrieval and study of non-human craft and biological material. The documents have been partially authenticated. The program has never been officially confirmed or denied. Authenticity contested · Referenced in congressional UAP testimony CIA · 1970s to 1980s Soviet Psychotronics Files CIA translations of Soviet research into psychic warfare, frequency-based neurological influence, and remote mental disruption. The Soviets called it psychotronics. The CIA took it seriously enough to translate, classify, and study it. Declassified via FOIA · Multiple documents DOD · Alleged The Montauk Project Alleged time manipulation and psychological warfare experiments conducted at Camp Hero in Montauk, New York after its official decommissioning. Some adjacent documents exist. The core claims remain unverified and the site's classified history remains partially sealed. Declassified adjacents only · Core documents unconfirmed US Air Force · 1947 to 1949 Project Grudge and Project Sign The US Air Force's first systematic investigations into unidentified aerial phenomena. Project Sign's initial classified report concluded the objects were likely interplanetary. That conclusion was suppressed and the project was replaced with the more skeptical Project Grudge. Declassified · Precursors to Project Blue Book UK MOD · 1980 The Rendlesham Forest Incident Over three nights in December 1980, US military personnel at RAF Bentwaters in Suffolk encountered an unidentified craft in the forest. The deputy base commander filed an official report. The UK Ministry of Defence classified it and later released a sanitized version. Declassified UK MOD files · Britain's most documented UAP incident US Government · 1945 to 1959 Operation Paperclip The classified program that brought over 1,600 Nazi scientists into the United States after World War II. The scientists' records were sanitized to conceal their party affiliations and war crimes. Many went on to lead US government research programs. Fully declassified · NARA archives Alleged · 1952 The Majestic 12 Documents A set of documents allegedly describing a classified briefing to President Eisenhower on recovered non-human craft and biological material. The FBI investigated and could not authenticate them. Researchers have spent decades reaching opposite conclusions about the same pages. Authenticity disputed · FBI investigation on record DOD · 1993 to present Project HAARP The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program is a real ionospheric research facility in Alaska. Its declassified research covers atmospheric heating, radio wave propagation, and effects on human cognition. Its classified research has not been released. Partially declassified · Active facility DOD · 2020 to 2023 UAP Task Force Reports The Department of Defense's official reports on unidentified aerial phenomena following the declassification of three Navy videos. The reports confirmed encounters that could not be explained by known technology. Congress has since held multiple hearings on the subject. Publicly released · Congressional testimony on record Alleged · 1952 The Eisenhower Briefing Document An alleged classified briefing prepared for President-elect Eisenhower describing the recovery of crashed non-human craft and biological material at multiple sites. The document has been examined by researchers and government investigators for decades without a definitive conclusion. Authenticity contested · Referenced in Majestic 12 file set CIA · 1972 to 1973 The CIA's Analysis of Uri Geller The CIA and Stanford Research Institute conducted controlled experiments on Uri Geller to test whether he could perceive information through means that could not be explained by conventional sensory channels. The results were published in Nature. The CIA classified its own assessment separately. Declassified 2017 · Available via CIA FOIA reading room Post-Stargate · 1995 to present Farsight Institute Remote Viewing After the government's Stargate Project was terminated, the research continued privately. The Farsight Institute documents the ongoing application of remote viewing protocols developed under the classified program. The methodology is the same. The oversight is gone. Public record · Continuation of declassified methodology CIA · Alleged sub-program Project Monarch An alleged sub-program of MK-Ultra focused on trauma-based mind control and the deliberate creation of dissociative identity states in subjects. The MK-Ultra documents that survived destruction reference adjacent research. Whether Monarch existed as a named program remains unconfirmed. Adjacent documents declassified · Core program unconfirmed US Navy · 2004 to 2015 The Pentagon UAP Videos Three videos — FLIR, GIMBAL, and GOFAST — were officially declassified by the Department of Defense in 2020. They show objects exhibiting flight characteristics that exceed known aircraft capabilities. The objects have not been identified. Officially declassified April 2020 · Available on defense.gov USSR · 1976 to 1989 The Soviet Woodpecker Signal Beginning in 1976, a powerful shortwave signal originating from the Soviet Union began interfering with radio communications worldwide. Western intelligence agencies tracked and classified it. Some researchers reported neurological effects in populations exposed to it. The signal ran for thirteen years. Declassified US intelligence assessments · Soviet origin confirmed CIA · 1970s to 1980s The Nazi Scientists Program The full scope of what the scientists brought over under Operation Paperclip contributed to US government research programs, including programs that later became classified. The connection between their wartime research and postwar classified work has never been fully documented in public records. Partially declassified · NARA and CIA FOIA archives
