Subject: SI and H Experimentation, 4 September 1951 (Operations Room)

On Tuesday, 4 September 1951, Messrs. and the writer conducted ST and H experiments between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM with and Fassubjects.

Since research has indicated that the phenomona known'as automatic writing will often produce information that is withheld verbally, it was decided that some experimentation along this line. should be undertaken by B. In addition and closely related to the automatic. writing is the phenomena of automatic drawing. It was felt that these two phenomena should be tested at approximately the same time.

In connection with the above phenomena, B felt that the possibility existed that automatic writing and automatic drawing may serve a future purpose in the obtaining of information from unwilling individuals or individualswho have forgotten information of a vital nature. If this were possible, these phenomena would be remarkable intelligent sources. Hence, the following experiments were started:

then questioned concerning the writing and her activities and her
amnesia was almost complete although she had remembrance of sitting
at a desk and holding a pencil in her hand. However, when she was told what she had written, she expressed complete amazement and indicated that the writings were of an. individual and activity that had taken place.some time before in which she had completely forgotten.

The phenomena was then tried with who was induced into deep state hy and subsequently transferred t OFF Fattempted to write, but the writing was so poor that she herself could not translate it." However, her hand did move in motion

that indicated she was attempting to write.

The next experiment was as follows:

induced into a deep SI state and instructed to draw a picture of her father. Miss Arew a crude picture of her father. Thereafter, instructedo draw a piecture of anything she wanted to and mäde a very clearly understandable drawing of a couch.

then induced Linto a deep trance state and instructed her to draw a picture-of her father, which producing an interesting portrait of a man's' head. as then instructed: to draw anything she wanted to and she drew a landscape.

After this test had heen completed, the girls were asked to comment if the drawings resembled their father and the girls said they did not. Although the drawings, in hoth instances, did represent very-clearly human heads and their other drawing clearly represented what they intended them to represent.

Comment:

The nost significant item in the arove test. is the fact that was able to write the name of an individual of whom she had no memory. This is believed to be prohably an important step in determining the value of automatic writing and drawing. Future experiments along these lines will be conducted in subsequent tests.

\- The final test of the evening was the start of a series of experiments to determine whether or not individuals would do things under an SI influence that they would, not normally do. It was determined that both ard would be tested along these lines,using a very simple and harmless experiment as follows:

they were at a highly successful party. She was fully instructed
that when she was hrought to a "normal" state, but still-under
a deep SI, she would see a man sitting across from her whom she
would not know and whom she would want to flirt with and on
whose lap she would want to sit. Thereafter was

her a complete amnesia for the entire activity. By this
time, it had become so late that it was decided to wait
until.the next time to do the same experiment with was then awakened.

Comment:

If it can be shown in a series of tests that our subjects will do things that they normally would not do in their everyday activities, it seems logical that individuals elsewhere can be also controlled thusly: This experiment outlined ahove was carried out with in a complete SI state and the next test will also be carried out with in a complete SI state. Subsequently, certain tests along these lines will te tried using a post H state to determine whether or not a strong post H can produce abnormal behavior on the part of an entirely normal individual.

For a matter of record, these tests are to he very simple, amusing situations, very carefully controlled, and pointed to humorous activity rather than of. a scandalous or immoral nature since. the individuals with whom we are working are very high type and if anything was carried too far would undoubtedly terminate their work with Bluebird. However, it is believed that even simple tests such as set forth ahove are clearly indicative of what may be done under "field" conditions.

Comment:

While the ahove tests are in no way conclusive, they produced interesting phenomena. A phenomena that may possibly be significant for future Bluebird operationsFrom this point of view. these tests were regarded bymfes andassuccessful.
