NEW: It took four years but I just got some newly declassified CIA reports studying the Soviet Union& #39;s use of "black magic", telepathic mind control and "psychotronic generators" â devices they said turned people into psychics and let them move objects with their minds. #FOIA
CIA originally denied the request, refusing to confirm or deny the existence of the records by citing "intelligence sources and methods" but we won& #39;t read too much into that
It probably doesn& #39;t need to be said, but:
"ESP investigators who are working on a project that has such [military] application very often disappear from the scene. They are not incarcerated but are evidently sent off to secret areas to continue their research." #FOIA
