This was long the focus of research at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) by Harold Puthoff, Russell Targ, and Edwin May, all with backgrounds in physics. May joined the researchers at SRI in 1976 and directed the research from 1985 until the closure of the Star Gate program in 1995 (the text on the back cover is misleading). Star Gate was the last name used for a military RV program that was initiated in 1977. That name was chosen because it “. . . invoked the feeling of exploration, a sense of reaching beyond our ordinary capabilities, of expanding the boundaries of our human potential” (Graff 2002:8). During the period covered by the anthology, the names used for the program were Gondola Wish, Grill Flame, and Center Lane. 收起
