## Resource

Explore the secretive history of CIA psychic experiments, remote viewing programs, and Project SOAR in this riveting episode of The Good Trouble Show. Cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Julia Mossbridge joins host Matt Ford to investigate whether the 1980s "gifted" and talented education programs were covert fronts for government ESP research targeting children. Dive deep into redacted school records, GATE program anomalies, and the CIA’s use of hearing tests and pharmaceuticals to identify children with psychic potential. This episode links these covert operations to current events involving UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena), UFO research, and national security disclosures, providing a rare glimpse into the intersection of science, intelligence, and the UFO phenomenon. If you were part of a gifted program in the 1980s, this insightful interview about government psychic programs like Project SOAR might illuminate forgotten memories and raise new questions about the involvement of secretive agencies in educational initiatives.
