US Army

The U.S. Army is the American land service. Its intelligence command ran remote-viewing programs from the late 1970s into the 1980s.

INSCOM, the Army's principal intelligence and security command, supplied the project officer for Project Grill Flame (1978–82), a joint Army and Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) program on remote viewing and psychokinesis. Congressional action curtailed its Army portion in 1982. Whether Grill Flame led directly to the Stargate Project is debated. Gondola Wish (1977–78) was likely an early phase of Army remote viewing. Center Lane followed Grill Flame, hosted by INSCOM and developed under Maj. Gen. Garrison Rapmund with DIA and NSA; the Army Medical Research and Development Command is credited with directing and funding it.

Albert Stubblebine commanded INSCOM from 1981 to 1984 and was a primary sponsor of the Army's remote-viewing program at Fort Meade. He retired early in 1984 after controversies, including alleged security violations over uncleared civilian psychics. Skip Atwater, attached to Grill Flame in 1978, is associated with Project 8200, remote viewing aimed at alleged underground UFO bases, none confirmed. John Alexander, whom Stubblebine placed under Lt. Gen. Robert Moore at Army Materiel Command, founded the ATP working group in 1985 to look for a "black UFO program."

Task Force Delta, directed from 1981 by Frank Burns, was a working group of the Army's Organizational Effectiveness program. The same network of officers also conducted unconventional human-performance experiments; whether the two were one project is disputed.

Yellow Fruit, a classified Army cover operation set up in 1982, was disbanded in December 1983 after allegations of financial irregularities.

Philip J. Corso said in 1997 that, as head of an Army Foreign Technology desk, he was handed Roswell debris and told to feed its technology to American industry. No independent source corroborates it, and Arthur G. Trudeau, the general he named, never mentions Corso, Roswell or such a desk in his 419-page oral history.
