A former gifted schoolboy has claimed he was pulled out of class and secretly trained to develop psychic powers for UFO-related work. Jordan Jozak said his childhood took a bizarre turn after he tested highly in a Gifted and Talented Education programme, known as GATE.
Jozak made the explosive allegations while speaking on the American Alchemy podcast, telling host Jesse Michels: “I was in the GATE classroom. I drank the pink drink. It's just that there was a progression of more.” He then said he was trained to fly UFOs with his mind.
Details of the Alleged Training
Jozak said psychologists would remove him from class for hours, telling him he was “a very special kid” with “a very special brain”. He described how he could “picture a word in my mind and then break apart the letters piece by piece”. He recalled: “One of the things that these psychologists were fascinated about was my ability to spell because I was spelling at like a college level.”
He alleged things escalated when he was around 12, claiming he was branded unstable and pushed out of public school, as reported by the Daily Mail. He said: “I was refusing to go to school at one point, and people from the school district were actually showing up and removing me from the house. Like it was Stranger Things-level stuff.”
Placement in a Special Programme
Jozak claimed he was then placed into a programme run through Baker Victory Services in New York, insisting: “The organisation itself was not the problem. It was the exact location and the element that I was in.” There, he said, he spent days working with “a team of psychologists, researchers, psychiatrists”, and underwent training similar to “remote viewing”.
“I had the ability to get out of my body, see in the other room, see things from a distance,” he claimed. Jozak said he would enter deep meditative states and was instructed to mentally “pilot it up and down, move it left and right”, alleging UFOs weren’t flown with joysticks, but with consciousness.
Verification and the Real GATE Programme
His claims have not been independently verified, according to the Daily Mail. Nevertheless, the GATE programme is completely real - but it is a standard public-school academic track rather than the shadowy government operation often described online.
GATE stands for Gifted and Talented Education. It is a long-running enrichment route used by schools to support pupils who show advanced academic ability. In practice, the aim is straightforward: school districts use GATE to offer accelerated learning, creative problem-solving and more challenging coursework, so high-achieving students don’t become bored in mainstream classes.
The history is also well-documented. These programmes expanded across the US in the 1980s after state-level legislation and later through the federal Jacob Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act of 1988.
