Imagine a military unit where the weapons weren’t guns or satellites—but human minds.
That’s the core of Project GRILL FLAME, a classified U.S. government program that ran from the late 1970s to 1983. This wasn’t fiction. It was a real Department of Defense initiative designed to harness psychic powers like remote viewing—where a person could “see” hidden objects, distant locations, or secret installations without physically being there.
The project was so serious that multiple government agencies, including the CIA, DIA, and Army Intelligence, were involved. They partnered with scientists at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) to test and train individuals with so-called "psi" abilities.
Here’s what they were doing behind closed doors:
-
Attempting to spy on Soviet facilities using nothing but trained psychics
-
Conducting tests to view hidden objects, encrypted data, and enemy plans
-
Even looking for hostages and missing aircraft with psychic methods
The results? Disturbing............
The final GRILL FLAME report concluded that remote viewing was real, not limited by distance or shielding, and could be strengthened with training. The data was strong enough to alarm military officials, especially since countries like Russia and China were believed to be ahead in psychic warfare.
Despite its shutdown in 1983, GRILL FLAME didn’t die—it simply evolved. The work was quietly folded into new projects under different names, like SUN STREAK and STARGATE. The government just kept moving the goalposts while denying it to the public.
They laughed at “psychic spies”—but behind the scenes, they were funding them.
