If you have seen the movie "The Men Who Stare at Goats," we wouldn't be surprised if you left the theater believing that the U.S. Army had been taken over by a wave of drug-inspired crazies.

In the movie starring George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Jeff Bridges, and Kevin Spacey, the misuse of LSD takes center stage to partially explain how the military became involved in the exploration of psychic powers.

Don't tell the men who stare at goats, but the Navy and the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense had a plan to crash the "human potential" use of psychic mind-bending forces.

STARstream Research has obtained a copy of a 1982 SECRET/EYES ONLY document produced at the request of Richard de Lauer, the former Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSDRE).

The document, written by Captain Jake Stewart of the U.S. Navy, outlines an elaborate multi-million dollar plan to unleash "Exceptional Human Functioning" or EHF.

The plan outlines a comprehensive research and operational development effort on a scale that would make goat staring Army psychics blush.
