D.E.'s description closely matched the target: "...a simple, heavy, solid building with a unique function" in ",.,relatively natural surroundings" [all correct-- see Figures 3(a) and 3(b)]. In his further description, D. E. said (correctly) "They are standing at a metal railing looking out over a scene, They are up high enough that they can see some buildings down below’ [Figure 3(c)]. He sensed some ambiguity of whether the experi- menters were inside a building or not. "T have the sense they're outside, though, but they're near a building. There's a larger puilding-like structure. Feels like it has sort of one function. One primary function. And although they're outside, they're relating to the building and its function.” In fact the experimenters were on the open station platform waiting for a train. About 11:22 he said, "I have the impression that Russell is feeling a smooth metal surface. Sort of large plates, large metal plates. Somewhat rectangular." The timing and description are highly accurate. Figure 3(d) illustrates Mr. Targ looking at the large metal BART route map, just before the train's arrival, At exactly 11:25 D.E, said "everything changed" and "I don't see them anymore." That is the precise time the target pair boarded the BART train and left the station. 11 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500410001-3

In this experiment one of the experimenters (Dr. Puthoff) spent a week traveling through Central America on a combination business/pleasure trip. That is all that was known to the subject about the traveler's itinerary. The experiment called for Dr, Puthoff to keep a detailed record of his location and activities, including photographs, each day at 1330 PDT, Five daily responses were obtained from the subject. Two were im excel- lent agreement, two had elements in common but were not clear corre- Spondences, and one was clearly a miss. In the first of the two matches, Dr. Puthoff was driving in rugged terrain at the base of a volcano (Figure 4) and the subject's response was "larger bare table mountain, jungle below, dark cool moist atmosphere," a match both with regard to topography and ambience, In the second match the subject submitted that all she got was a "picture of Dr, Puthoff sitting in a beach chair by a tt pool, which was entirely correct, During the course of the Central America experiment, on one occasion when the test subject was unavailable, one of the authors (RT) volunteered a drawing of an image he obtained at the beginning of one of the daily experiments. (The target for that day was an airport, an unexpected target associated with a side excursion at midpoint of the week's activity.) The match was good, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, 13 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500410001-3

Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500410001-3 Conclusion We have presented evidence for the existence of a biological infor- mation channel whose characteristics appear to fall outside the range of known perceptual modalities. The precise nature of the channel or channels is as yet undefined, but may involve either direct perception of hidden information content, perception of mental images of persons knowledgeable of target information, precognition, or some combination of these or other information channels. We have worked with three individuals whose remote perceptual abilities were sufficiently developed that they were able to describe geographical material blocked from ordinary perception, From these experiments we conclude that fe) A channel exists whereby information about a remote location can be obtained by means of an as yet unidentified perceptual modality. fo) As with all biological systems, the information channel appears to be imperfect, containing noise along with the signal. o While a quantitative signal-to-noise ratio in the information- theoretical sense cannot as yet be determined, the results of our experiments indicate that the functioning is at the level of useful information transfer, 16 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500410001-3
Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500410001-3 It may be that remote perceptual ability is widely distributed in the general population, but because the perception is generally below an individual's level of awareness, it is repressed or not noticed. For example, two of our subjects (H.H. and P.P,) had not considered themselves to have unusual perceptual ability before their participation in these experiments. 17 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500410001-3

This is a large plaza resembling a California mission. There are craft shops around the perimeter of the plaza. In the plaza area are many gardens, flowers, ceramic pots, fountains, and paths. Overhead are vines on arbors of redwood, Price's description is accurate in almost every detail and he omitted little of importance. (See Figure 7.) 1:40 THIS IS A REMOTE VIEWING EXPERIMENT WITH PAT PRICE, DEAN BROWN, AND RUSSELL TARG IN THE SHIELDED ROOM IN BUILDING 30. THE TRAVELLERS TO REMOTE LOCATION ARE BART COX, HAL PUTHOFF, JUDY SCHMICKLEY AND PHYLLIS COLE, WE EXPECT THE TRAVELLERS TO BE AT THEIR PLACE IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES, IT'S 1:58, OUR TRAVELLERS SHOULD BE NEAR TO ARRIVING AT THE PLACE, OK. Why don't I start scanning by quadrant using this as a center point. 12-3, 6-9...... I'll go from 12-3 first. Seems to me right now that I'm picking them up in the 12-3 quadrant, but I'll go on in the rest and look. I haven't actually identified them, I just feel that they're there, Nope, I don't get them there. Now I'll go from 6-9. While I was looking at 6-9, it looks to me like I'm looking at an iris, a flower of some kind. I1'11 come back and identify that later. Just wanted to get it down as having a flash of an iris flower-purplish. I'11 continue to scan that quadrant. Nope, don't get them there. I'll go from 9-12. Don't get them there. I'll go back 12-3, Yeah, I get them in that quadrant. Now I'll see if I can locate them physically and identify the area. I'm looking at something that looks like an arbor, trellis-work arbor. Seems to be cool, shaded. Doesn't seem to me that they're out in the direct sunlight. Be more like there's lots of trees, in an arbor area, A-l1 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500410001-3

at Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500410001-3 The arbor appears to be made of wood, possibly redwood. They're just....looks like it's a dirt path, quite wide, I'd say maybe 12 feet. I can see some grass. Looks like possibly a fountain of some kind. Yeah, I can see Bart in his red shirt and what looks like kind of a gray paisley tie - I didn't really look at that when he was down there, The red shirt, I did. Looks like he has on a gray paisley tie. It appears they're walking along quite leisurely. Looks like there's some red brick laid into a walkway. They don't seem to be on it, they just seem to pass over that. I get - it seems like a little ways away from them there are quite a few people but right where they're walking it doesn't appear to be many right in there. This is an arbor area. Back of that arbor, back here I'd say 50 feet from that arbor to here, seems to be a lot of people in here, They were Walking along here on what looks like about a 12 foot dirt path. WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THE ARBOR IN? IS IT A FIELD OUT IN THE OPEN? No, I want to say park, but it doesn't exactly feel like a park. If you took a - the feeling I'm getting - it's not the specific place - but like the Town and Country Market. That type of an atmosphere, with quite a section of it into a little outdoor park, but basically I'm getting a very strong feeling of flowers, Like the first one I saw was an iris. TELL ME ABOUT THE TOWN AND COUNTRY ASPECT, IN WHAT WAY DOES IT REMIND YOU OF TOWN AND COUNTRY. The buildings, not right where they're at, but very close to them have that same kind of architecture and look. The parking lot looks similar, grand, sweeping, not cluttered, it's more expansive area. You take a place like Sears Mall - it seems cluttered. This seems more leisurely paced, People are moving about slower - there's not the hustle and bustle - more or less meandering. Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500410001-3
Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500410001-3 TOWN AND COUNTRY MEANS TO ME A COERED WALKWAY, Yeah, the back of them it seems to be - where they are seems to be a very large arbor like vines growing over it and things, and there possi- bly - I haven't looked in there yet to see if there's any displays like pottery and things - I get the feeling that there is right close to it. ALSO, OUTDOORS? Yeah, it seems like fairly high shade trees ~- kinda bordering. The center part doesn't seem to have it - this part in here. The trees seem to be way up in here along like this over here. This seems to be shaded in here, but it's sunny out here. I just saw something that looked like a windmill - not a farm type wind- mill - a Dutch-type windmill. It's smaller - it's not a huge thing, but I'm getting a definite feeling that it's like a windmill. The area in there feels damp - not wet - they're not walking in water, but it's very moist. The temperature in there..,it's secluded, Feels very comfortable. A little on the shady side. WHAT DO YOU FIND AS THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PLACE THEY'RE AT? Outside of this little park-like affair that they seem to be in, there's a street, One side of it seems to be a kind of a residential...the other seems to be a little bit more heavily travelled. Let me pick up a little bit more. I can see one very large oak tree - exceptionally large. Right now Bart is trying to point something out that is basically the significance of the whole place. It's like that key thing, well, if you'd have mentioned a salt pile I'd have blown my lid. Well, this has a significance that's just about comparable to that. I'm screening it out. Thing that just flashed in was kind of like a stadium structure - like looking down into a stadium, Just when I did that I - I'll-have to reorient to make sure I'm looking in the same area now, Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500410001-3
Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500410001-3 Seems like they're - I still get them in the same quadrant I had them in originally. Seems like some decorative brick walls. THE QUADRANT YOU HAD THEM IN IS BASICALLY THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT? Yeah, I got them out about this far - it's not far away - I'd say in this direction over here about - feels like a mile to a mile and a half. They don't feel as far away, and I'm not looking at the time continuum. They actually don't feel as far away. I'd say that it is about - not half the distance they were to the marina, and it seems to be on a line just about in that direction but just a hair more - rather than a direct line from here to the marina - they seem to be just slightly more to the left of that line. I was looking back to where he had the car parked and it seems like it's on asphalt, then a curb in front, and then it's like a dirt walkway and then a sidewalk. But I can see eucalyptus buds on the ground and some branches of eucalyptus there. One of the most dominant things to me in the way of unusualness is the Size of the oak tree that I'm looking at. Looks like an arboretum, or I get the definite feeling of flowers, Almost get the feeling like it's commercial flowers, In fact, the most predominant feeling that I'm getting right now is flowers. Don't know why iris particularly. There's something about the windmill that I was going to look at. Wasn't that what you were....? Be like one you'd almost see in a miniature golfcourse...the windmill. Has all the construction and detail but not as large - it's fairly small. Seems to be made out of dark redwood and it's kind of aged, I'm going to try to look more directly to them. Let's see, there's Bart and Hal, and behind Bart is Judy and behind Hal is Phyllis, kinda stag- gered there. Looks like a possible small pool of water - like a garden pond, Looks like a little bridge. Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500410001-3
Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500410001-3 I was trying to get the feeling of what type of an area it was, Let me elevate a bit. I'm looking at much too small an area. There's some greater significance there that I feel I'm definitely not looking at - let's jack up a bit...maybe 500 feet. I see a lot of trees, I see Judy's red hair and her brown eyes and her flashing teeth - she has beautiful teeth. Hadn't really looked at them before. Phyllis and her are talking about something and Hal and Bart are talking about something and he's pointing at something and it seems to me that he's pointing over to what I'd call a windmill or something that looks like a windmill, The water I see looks more like a pool or a pond than it does - you know, it's not big like a lake - not very large, but it looks like a definite pool. Right where they're at I don't hear too much traffic noise - it seems to be fairly quiet. Looks like a little wooden walkway. Feels a little early, but it kinda seems like they're retracing their steps heading back toward the car, but they're still moving quite leisurely. IF YOU LOOK DOWN ON THE PLACE FROM ABOVE, CAN YOU GET ANY FEELING FOR THE - IS THERE ANY OVERALL LAYOUT OR PLAN? When I went up I could see trees and stuff, and I kind of got the feeling of like in a corner of a golf course, you know - where there would be a lot of trees overhanging the green and some things in there - that seemed to be out of context, but when I elevated, that's what I got. It kind of looked like an overlap to me, so I didn't talk about it, but I will. When I elevated it kind of felt like it was right over the corner of a golf course of some kind, with a street running down one side, and they are fairly close to that. In fact, the bricked area that I looked at or like a patio thing kinda looks like a walkway. Seems like there's small building - small meaning not tall - looks like a single story building. Looks like it has a flat roof - slightly pitched. Looks like 4 x 4 poles supporting it - has a Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500410001-3

They're painted white, place looks like very possible light yellow or cream color, They're walking not too far from that. Still seems to me that they're on a dirt pathway. In the area that they're in now I get flowers again - where before they kinda fell out of the flowers. Looks like maybe 80-100 yards from where they are - looks like 2 guys on a motor scooter. They can see them. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS THE INTEREST TO THIS PLACE? WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT THIS PLACE? It seems to be a kind of a recreational, relaxed...not energetic - looks more relaxed. I'd say it's kind of combination recreational and relaxation area that I'm getting out of it. That would be the general character of it, Two aspects - one is aesthetics and the other is a kind of a mild recre- ational area, There seem to be some unique features - I don't have it totally into context as yet. There's a number of things that I've rejected - looked at and rejected saying. First, I got the impression that it was kind of like a miniature golf course - I rejected that. Merely from saying it.- I didn't reject the principle - I just rejected saying it. Then I kind of got the idea of a standard golf course - I also rejected that on the same principle, so I'm just trying to describe the terrain. Seems expansive - doesn't seem cluttered. Just got a flash of something that reminded me of the gyroscope - gimbals on the gyroscope, Drinking fountain - looks like it's made out of kinda like field stone built up into a fountain...bowl. I'm going to elevate again and go through a search quadrant again. Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500410001-3
Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500410001-3 I still get them in that general location, so that seems to set all right. Distance - maybe a mile, mile and a half. Doesn't seem much farther- seems fairly close. The area has an awful lot of grass, lot of trees - looks like dirt walk- ways, well trimmed. I can see the arbor, and the arbor could be a place to sit and be out of the direct sun. May be a few little tables and benches and chairs in there. That outlooks over quite a grassy area - there are quite a few trees, I gee basically an oak. Right after they got out of the car I could see some eucalyptus buds and branches on the ground, and it seemed like the trees were there. Looked like they got out of the car, stepped upon a curb, dirt parkway, a sidewalk, and then they went into this area. I get the feeling this windmill type thing - that all seems fairly real. The feeling is still that it's relaxing and has some recreational aspects - I just haven't put it totally together as to giving it a name. Right now I get a very strong impression of flowers again. It seems like right now they're back to right where I originally spotted them only they're going in the opposite direction - like they're moving toward the direction they originally went. While they were there they walked on several pathways - walked out quite. a ways, then swung over and come over and worked around and looked at... One peculiar thing I might note - so far I haven't sensed, seen nor heard an airplane, Cars seem quite distant - outside of that little motor scooter affair with the two guys on it. That's about the only vehicular traffic I've seen - except out in the parking lot. It seems like to me that they've got most of their attention off what they were looking at and they've got their attention more on the car now, , Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000500410001-3

There's something quite unusual there and I ... Damed if I can pick it up. WAS HAL DOING ANYTHING BESIDES WALKING ALONG - WAS THERE ANY ACTIVITY FOR HAL TO DO? Most of the time I was looking at Hal,he was kind of listening to Bart and Bart was pointing out a number of things. Part of the time Bart was walking with Hal; part of the time he was back by Judy. When I first saw them, it was Bart in the front on the left side, Hal was on his right, Judy was slightly behind - almost between Bart and Hal but behind, and Phyllis to her right. They wandered around but the first time I picked up - they were that way. When they were coming back, they just about reversed. Bart would be in front. When they were coming back, it looked like Bart was in front with Phyllis, and Judy was walking more behind Bart and Hal on her right when they were coming back out of there, They're actually at the car. 2:30 SHALL WE GO DOWNSTAIRS AND SEE HOW THEY'RE DOING?
