Project GRILL FLAME Army Psychic Intelligence Program
Project GRILL FLAME mattered because it was the moment the U.S. Army’s psychic-intelligence fear moved from assessment into operational machinery. GONDOLA WISH asked whether Soviet psychoenergetics could threaten U.S. security. GRILL FLAME tried to turn that anxiety into a controlled intelligence tool. It placed remote viewers inside the Fort Meade intelligence world, tied Army INSCOM to DIA funding, pulled SRI’s remote-viewing research into a military pipeline, and created the language that later became CENTER LANE, SUN STREAK, and STAR GATE. The public record proves the program existed. It does not prove that psychic intelligence was reliable. That boundary is the whole story.
