SUN STREAK
After Army support and funding of the Ft. Meade operational remote viewing unit ran out in late 1985, Jack Vorona transferred control directly to the DIA's Scientific and Technical Intelligence Directorate. The unit was known as DT-S (DT for Scientific and Technical Intelligence Directorate, S for Special) and was given the codename Sun Streak.
Under branch chief Fern Gauvin's command, the unit reportedly began to shift towards more occultic methods, including channelling and tarot cards.

"In 1986, the Army passed the highly controversial unit to DIA. SUN STREAK (ferreted away in DIA's Scientific and Technical Intelligence Directorate as DT-S), was a bastard element. This is because DIA is an analytical agency--it has no charter to collect intelligence!"
Ed Dames claims to have continued to collect and pass on information under the nose of the DIAs civilian administrator, Dale Graff.
"By 1989, Dale Graff had replaced all of the trained military professionals with psychics virtually taken "off the street," thus rendering the project ineffective for intelligence collection purposes--but highly entertaining for certain civilian officials who came to visit DIA's 'witches' to obtain personal psychic 'readings.'"
(Dames, Ed, "Ed Dames Sets the Record Straight")
In 1988, a Pentagon Inspector General team evaluated the Sun Streak operational unit. The viewers were ordered to avoid the team, and many documents were shredded behind the inspector's backs (in the documentary "Psi-Files: The Real X-Files", Ed Dames claimed that three shredders had their motors burnt out in the process).

By 1991, the unit had only four viewers: Lyn Buchanan, Robin Dahlgren, Angela Dellafiora, and a DIA civilian. Around this time, the unit was redesignated Star Gate. Also around this time period, the unit left Ft. Meade. I don't know the date of the move, or where it was moved to.
