--- alias: - Angela Dellafiora Ford - Angela Ford category: Psychics & Remote Viewers created: 2026-05-14 location: Maryland, USA summary: INSCOM analyst who joined the DIA's remote-viewing unit at Fort Meade in 1986, worked by automatic writing, and gave the location of the fugitive customs agent Charles Jordan in 1989. tags: - Person - RemoteViewer - DIA - STARGATE updated: 2026-09-21 --- Angela Dellafiora, later known as Angela Ford after marriage, was a [Defense Intelligence Agency](/organizations/defense-intelligence-agency/) (DIA) intelligence analyst based in Maryland. The DIA hired her in 1986 to participate in [Project STAR GATE](/programs/stargate-project/), the government's classified remote-viewing program, in which she worked for nine years.[^1] ### Written Remote Viewing Dellafiora was one of a small number of female remote viewers in the STAR GATE program and the only practitioner who used automatic writing rather than the standard coordinate or extended remote viewing protocols. She would suppress her conscious awareness and allow words and impressions to flow onto the page through a technique that became formally designated Written Remote Viewing (WRV) within the unit.[^1] Her method diverged significantly from the other viewers'. Rather than targeting specific geographic coordinates, she described receiving data through a set of entities she referred to by the names "Maurice" and "George." This approach generated friction within the unit: senior viewers [Ed Dames](/people/ed-dames/) and Mel Riley concluded that Dellafiora had accumulated disproportionate influence over unit commanders, including Jack Vorona, by conducting personal channeling sessions addressing staff members' private lives.[^2] ### Notable Cases In 1989, Dellafiora was tasked with locating a former U.S. customs agent who had gone missing as a fugitive. The session was later cited by program advocates as a successful demonstration of WRV, though critics argued that follow-up accounts of the case omitted information available through conventional means that could have produced the same result.[^3] She described the cargo of a vessel heading toward Libya as containing a major stockpile of chemical weapons - a description attributed to STAR GATE and publicly associated with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's procurement activities.[^1] ### Morehouse Court-Martial In the winter of 1994, [Al Girard](/people/al-girard/), who had succeeded [Dale Graff](/people/dale-graff/) as head of the remote-viewing unit, brought Dellafiora with him to the [Pentagon](/organizations/pentagon/) for a meeting with the attorney of [David Morehouse](/people/david-morehouse/), a former unit member facing court-martial charges. Dellafiora subsequently testified as an expert witness on the DIA's remote-viewing program at Morehouse's preliminary court-martial hearing.[^2] After leaving government service, Dellafiora marketed herself publicly as a medium offering connections with spirit guides and deceased individuals. ### The Documents Angela Dellafiora, later Ford, was a civilian analyst on [Latin America](/places/latin-america/) at [INSCOM](/organizations/united-states-army-intelligence-and-security-command/) who joined the DIA's remote-viewing unit at [Fort Meade](/places/fort-meade/), then called [Sun Streak](/programs/sun-streak/), in early 1986, and stayed until the program closed in 1995. She worked by automatic writing in a trance, attributing the results to figures she called George, Dr. Einstein, and Maurice.[^4] ### The Jordan Case In the spring of 1989 the Customs Service asked the unit for help finding Charles Jordan, a customs agent in south Florida who had fled under suspicion of taking bribes; eighteen sessions were logged that year. Dale Graff, who ran the unit, later wrote that she placed him in "an area of northern Wyoming near a campground," or "near a place that sounds like Lowell, an Indian burial place nearby," and that "our data was not acted upon"; a former customs official said "I made sure that the police in Wyoming were made aware of the possibility." The skeptic Joe Nickell, reviewing the accounts in 2001, found "no official, detailed record to specify just what information was supplied," Graff conceding that "some of the pieces are not in the files," and noted that police had separately spotted Jordan's vehicle near Denver. Of the forty viewings of 1994 and 1995 rated by customers for the AIR review, those for one organization, "concerned with tracking people," scored higher than the rest.[^4][^5] [^1]: Jacobsen, Annie. *Phenomena: The Secret History of the U.S. Government's Investigations into Extrasensory Perception and Psychokinesis.* Little, Brown and Company, 2017.
