06 · EDITION AND WITNESS COMPARISON
How the evidence for The Stargate Remote-Viewing Program changes
The date of a document and the date of an interpretation are recorded separately.| Witness or edition | Date | Editorial status | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| CIA Reading Room · Stargate | 1970s–1995 | Baseline source | The existence of the program does not establish that it produced reliable intelligence. |
| Scholarly or institutional interpretation | Later review | Context layer | Explains language, history and uncertainty without becoming the original text. |
| Viral quotation or modern event match | Recent circulation | Derivative layer | Most vulnerable to translation drift, omitted failures and hindsight; compare with CIA Reading Room · Stargate. |

08 · WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED
Comparison with events
The 1995 evaluation found the information insufficiently reliable and specific for operational intelligence.09 · DISPUTES AND COUNTERARGUMENTS
Where interpretation changes
The main dispute concerns the distance between 1970s–1995 and Research contract · operational file · independent evaluation · closure. Translation, selective quotation, changed definitions and hindsight can make a broad record appear more exact than it was. Competing readings are therefore preserved rather than silently merged.10 · EVIDENCE SCORE & PROVISIONAL CONCLUSION
Official documents · efficacy rejected
U.S. agencies funded remote-viewing research and operations, creating a real documentary trail unlike most psychic claims. SALGIL's provisional score reflects source traceability and testability, not religious worth or cultural importance.11 · SOURCES AND REVIEW
