The definitive history of the military's decades-long investigation
into mental powers and phenomena, from the author of Pulitzer Prize
finalist The Pentagon's Brain and international bestseller Area 51.
This is a book about a team of scientists and psychics with top
secret clearances. For more than forty years, the U.S. government
has researched extrasensory perception, using it in attempts to
locate hostages, fugitives, secret bases, and downed fighter jets,
to divine other nations' secrets, and even to predict future
threats to national security. The intelligence agencies and
military services involved include CIA, DIA, NSA, DEA, the Navy,
Air Force, and Army-and even the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Now, for
the first time, New York Times bestselling author Annie Jacobsen
tells the story of these radical, controversial programs, using
never before seen declassified documents as well as exclusive
interviews with, and unprecedented access to, more than fifty of
the individuals involved. Speaking on the record, many for the
first time, are former CIA and Defense Department scientists,
analysts, and program managers, as well as the government psychics
themselves. Who did the U.S. government hire for these top secret
programs, and how do they explain their military and intelligence
work? How do scientists approach such enigmatic subject matter?
What interested the government in these supposed powers and does
the research continue? Phenomena is a riveting investigation into
how far governments will go in the name of national security.
