Introduction In FY 1984, no GDIP funds were spent in the Grill Flame Program. This was due to the prohibition imposed by the U.S. Congress. All work and “contract funds for DIA and Army were accomplished using R&D funds. Army's J chief interest was dictated by the fact that they have an operational > ny F unit, hence, training was a large item in their budget. Developing a pre’ Vv oy method to do search remcte viewing and investigations that would lead to Aur ea ways of selecting individuals who have a high potential to do remote viewing * oo were also investigated. The Army also sponsored work to determine if ELF oy a - fluctuations have an impact on the quality of remote viewing data. The DIA funds were from DRE and were used to continue research in various Grill Flame areas. As DIA and Army had, until this year, totally depended on one training program, it became apparent that new ones needed to be developed. Therefore, two new training procedures were infated. Also, within the remote viewing area, research was directed at improving the quality of the data. In the PK area, some foreign research was duplicated and preliminary investigations on countermeasures were accomplished. A major emphasis in FY 1984 was placed on authentication and veri- fication of the remote viewing phenomena. In the first three years of the Grill Flame program, the research was centered on developing remote viewing training programs, improving the quality of remote viewing data and looking at some of the variables that could affect its quality. During the past year, statistics were developed that could be applied to remote viewing data and a measure of its success could be obtained. If the data are favorable, FY 1985 will begin the incorporation of a remote oO viewing capability into the DIA. This prototype unit, if successful, would os rte to th Ou Ttgog serve as a model for the incorporation of additional units into the DoD.

First, you must be able to select individuals with good remote viewing potential. Then you must be able to train that abilit y to the point where useful data can be produced. ¥ You must also have a variety of targeting methods and a set procedure to evaluate the resultant data, Finally, you must have an automated data base that allows you to store and manipulate large volumes of information. While research on several of these areas will be continued into FY 1985 and beyond, enough data now exists to begin work on establishing an in-house DoD program. SG1A a aa . . .

Approved For Release 20008 REPO corer 300340001 -1 Attachment #1 Verbal Description of Project At the beginning of the DIA/Army Joint Services Program (FY 1981) SRI, in conjunction with its sponsors, made a decision to develop and codify the most promising RV enhancement procedure that had emerged from earlier work--a six stage coordinate remote viewing training procedure developed by SRI Consultant Mr. Ingo Swann. The procedure focuses on improving the reliability of remote viewing by controlling those factors that tend to introduce noise into the RV product. A broad overview of the procedure, which has been derived empirically on the basis of a decade of investigation into the RV process, is presented in the documents below. The basic components of this procedure consist of: (1) Repeated target-address (coordinate) presentation, with quick-reaction response by the remote viewer (to minimize imaginative overlays). (2) The use of a specially-designed, acoustic-tiled, featureless homogeneously-colored viewing chamber (to minimize environmental overlays). (3) The adoption of a strictly-prescribed, limited interviewer patter (to minimize interviewer overlay). At this stage of near completion of the development, the RV training procedure proceeds through a series of six stages of proficiency, hypothe- sized to correspond to six stages of increased contact with the target site. The stages are outlined in the table below. In a given remote viewing session, an experienced remote viewer tends to recapitulate the six stages in order. H. E.

Approved For Release 2000/08/8/G pip-poPs6-00788r001 300340001 -1 Attachment #1 Alternate Training Task: The Alternate Training Task is designed to demonstrate that remote viewing (RV) may be taught to naive individuals. Using techniques developed by viewer 009, four individuals will contribute 30-50 RV trials each using National Geographic photographs as targets. Theory and exercises will emphasize the use of abstract targeting techniques (as opposed to geographical coordinates). Following a procedure first outlined by R. Jahn, Princeton University, RV analysis will be computer automated to provide a measure of training performance. 9 SECRET Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788r001300340001-1

KE | aii rr Approved For Release 2O0O/O YE Re fe pOP96-00788r001300340001-1 Attachment #1 Verbal Description of Project Screening/Selection Task: The overall view is to develop independent measures of personality and remote viewing skill and to determine if a correlation between them exists. From the remote viewing perspective, we plan to adopt the Priceton gbup’s automated judging procedure. This technique, while not complete, represents the best automated procedure to date. It provides a statistically meaningful score for each individual remote viewing session. From the personality assessment perspective, we plan to adopt the Personality Assessment System (PAS), developed by Winne and Gittinger. The PAS provides a bn 4 quantitative measure of personality derived from performance on the WAIS. Specif-experiments include the following: 1. Administer the WAIS and MBTI to as many of the past “calibrated” RVers as possible to determine if there is “grouping” of good performance in PAS space. 2. Administer the WAIS and MBTI to all the RV trainees. 3. Predict, on the basis of 1. above, RV performance of the trainees. 12 SECRET Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788r001300340001-1
