Third Eye Spies
Third Eye Spies examines the experiments conducted by physicists Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff at Stanford University during the 1970s. Their research focused on psychic abilities, particularly remote viewing, and attracted the attention of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The CIA took control of the project, leading to a cover-up that lasted nearly 30 years, intertwining science with national security and the interests of the Cold War. The documentary features insights from notable figures such as Nobel laureate Brian Josephson and Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell. It presents a critical look at the intersection of parapsychology, military applications, and the wider effects of psychic espionage during a tense period in history.
