Government / primary-source fact
A working definition
The CIA describes remote viewing as an attempt to perceive information about a distant or hidden target.
An iOS app inspired by Associative Remote Viewing
Sixth Sense Picks
Perceive. Record. Reveal.
Record an Impression before a lottery drawing. The app maps it to the Closest Available Symbol and its associated number. After the drawing, once valid official results are available, reveal the Target Symbol and compare.
An entertainment and experimental app. Lottery drawings are random and chance-based. Sixth Sense Picks does not predict winning numbers or improve your odds.
The history
Remote viewing
Remote viewing has a documented place in U.S. government research history. What that research demonstrated remains disputed, and that ambiguity is part of the story.
Government / primary-source fact
An experimental term, not a verdict
Reports from SRI used “remote viewing” as a neutral descriptive term for experiments in which target information was blocked from ordinary perception. That was the researchers’ operational description, not a declaration of scientific fact.
Government / primary-source fact
The early researchers
Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff were SRI researchers associated with early remote-viewing experiments. Ingo Swann participated as a subject and appears in the declassified program record.

A specific application
Associative Remote Viewing (ARV)
Researcher / practitioner claim
In the research and practitioner literature, ARV is described as a specific application of remote viewing. The protocol, as described, has three parts.
- Each possible outcome is associated with a distinct feedback target.
- Before the outcome is known, a viewer records impressions.
- A later judging or feedback step compares the impressions with the associated targets.
These are protocol descriptions and reported study claims. They are not established proof that ARV works. Not all government remote-viewing work was ARV.
Researcher / practitioner claim
A result worth remembering
One of the projects cited below reported a financially unsuccessful result and a below-chance hit rate during its project period. Reports like this are a useful check against promotional overstatement.

Where Sixth Sense Picks fits
Sixth Sense Picks is inspired by ARV. It does not claim to reproduce any single historical research protocol, and it makes no claim that ARV is effective.

The programs
STARGATE and related programs
Government / primary-source fact
More than one program, more than one name
The U.S. government sponsored remote-viewing research across CIA, Army, and DIA programs. Program labels changed over time, so not every activity was literally named STARGATE.

These documents are published in the CIA Reading Room. Document identifiers are shown as they appear in the source links.

The 1995 evaluation
What the government concluded
Government / primary-source fact
A 1995 evaluation included differing interpretations of the experimental results. Both views are part of the record.
Researcher / practitioner claim
Jessica Utts
Utts argued that the statistical evidence supported anomalous cognition.
Researcher / practitioner claim
Ray Hyman
Hyman argued that this conclusion was premature, and that independent replication and methodological concerns remained.
Government / primary-source fact
The operational conclusion
The operational review found the information too vague, ambiguous, inconsistent, and unreliable to produce actionable intelligence of sufficient quality.
The CIA decided not to restore the program.
What the record does not show
These records do not show that the government proved psychic abilities, proved ARV, or confirmed reliable precognition. Sixth Sense Picks makes none of those claims.

The app
Sixth Sense Picks
SSP product description
An entertainment and experimental number-selection and results-comparison app inspired by Associative Remote Viewing.
Core sequence: Impression , then Closest Available Symbol , then number selection , then Target Revealed
-
Your Impression
Before the drawing, you record an Impression. A session asks for six of them.
-
Closest Available Symbol
The app maps each Impression to the Closest Available Symbol in a generated symbol set.
-
Number selection
Each mapped symbol carries an associated lottery number. Five Impressions produce five unique regular numbers. The sixth, the Key Impression, maps to the game’s key ball using its own symbol set and range, so it may numerically equal one of the regular picks.
-
Target Revealed
After valid official results are available, Target Reveal derives the Target Symbols from the session’s saved symbol sets and the official-number order.
Closest Available Symbol is not Target Revealed
The Closest Available Symbol is the app’s match for your Impression, chosen before the drawing. Target Revealed is derived afterward from official results. The comparison keeps Your Impression, Closest Available Symbol, and Target Revealed separate. It does not rematch history or change the lottery result.
What Sixth Sense Picks does not do
Lottery drawings are random and chance-based. Sixth Sense Picks does not:
- sell lottery tickets
- accept wagers
- collect entry fees
- conduct drawings
- award prizes
- predict winning numbers
- guarantee winnings
- improve the mathematical odds of winning
Step by step
How it works
SSP product description
A session runs in two parts: record before the drawing, then compare after official results are published.
Before the drawing
-
Step 1: Choose Powerball or Mega Millions.
Pick the game whose next scheduled drawing you want to explore.
-
Step 2: Begin the session and review the future-draw premise.
Your Impressions are recorded before the drawing takes place.
-
Step 3: Relax and record Impression 1.
Draw on the canvas with your finger or Apple Pencil.
-
Step 4: Submit the Impression.
-
Step 5: Review the Closest Available Symbol and mapped number.
This is the app’s match for your Impression, not the Target Revealed.
-
Step 6: Continue through Impressions 1–5.
The five regular-number selections are unique.
-
Step 7: Complete the Key Impression.
It maps to the game’s key ball using its own symbol set and range.
-
Step 8: Save and review the generated picks.
After the drawing
-
Step 9: Wait for the scheduled drawing.
-
Step 10: Retrieve published lottery results.
The app requests public draw results from NY Open Data. Official lottery rules and certified results control over any discrepancy.
-
Step 11: Use Target Reveal when valid official results are available.
-
Step 12: Compare Your Impression, Closest Available Symbol, and Target Revealed.
-
Step 13: Review Your Session.
Sixth Sense Picks does not predict winning numbers or improve the mathematical odds of winning. If you choose to play a lottery outside the app, you are responsible for minimum-age and other applicable laws, official rules, ticket checking, deadlines, and prize claims.
