So what was the rest? We must contextualize America's obsession with aliens in the 70s with the moon landings.
Of course Americans have been gulllible about psychics for a lo g time But offiicially?

 | Police psychics have so saturated popular culture that the concept borders on the cliche. There was a time, however, when the Department of Justice took the matter very seriously - not only were instances reported of the police using psychics, there were studies on the matter, and even guidance issued by the DOJ. www.muckrock.com |
I have heard of the FBI using psychics but not the military.
The first time I heard of psychics and the FBI was in terms of the death of a Washington
intern named Chandra Levy. CNN alluded to this matter in a Dec. 2007 article
entitled "Visions of death. Can psychics see what detectives cannot."
In that article they point to Kathlyn Rhea a psychic investigator in California
with some successes. One critic points to numerous dead end cases.
But this is not to endorse the professor. He can't even spell.
What about the CIA and psychics? I did a quick check and found out about the Stargate project that built on a secret US army unit established a 20 million dollar project in the 1970s to investigate potential psychic phenomena including extrasensory perception.
