Project Gondola Wish Soviet Psi Threat Study
Project GONDOLA WISH mattered because it was one of the earliest U.S. Army names in the psychic-intelligence paper trail. It did not prove that remote viewing worked. It did not prove that the Soviets possessed supernatural weapons. What it did prove is stranger in a bureaucratic way: Army intelligence treated Soviet and Eastern Bloc parapsychology seriously enough to build a classified threat-integration effort at Fort Meade, place it under HUMINT channels, and then replace it with a more secure intelligence-collection program called GRILL FLAME. That is why GONDOLA WISH is a foundation file for the entire American psychic-spy archive.
