Robert Gates is an American government official who served as the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) from 1991 to 1993. He was also an analyst on loan to the National Security Council from the Central Intelligence Agency during the Cold War12.
Gates was known to be a vocal adversary of the Psychoenergetics programs within the Pentagon. He expressed skepticism about the Remote Viewing program, particularly after Joe McMoneagle's remote viewing of the Typhoon Submarine class submarine, which Gates initially dismissed as defying logic2.
In 1986, Gates noted a significant buildup in advanced technology weapons facilities in both the United States and the Soviet Union, particularly in areas like laser, particle beam, kinetic energy, and microwave technologies applicable to strategic weapons2.
Gates revealed details about the Moscow Signal in his 1997 memoir, From the Shadows. He described how the Central Intelligence Agency detected a new and more powerful set of Soviet microwave beams aimed at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow in 1973, code-named MUTS-2. He noted that these signals were regarded as posing a greater health hazard due to their duration and peculiar characteristics2.
On November 28, 1995, Gates appeared on Nightline with Ted Koppel to discuss the STARGATE PROJECT, where he downplayed the significance of the government's psychic research2.
